Chapter 85: Extraneous Branches (3)

No one knows when Ming Chenyuan entered the palace and what he said to Jincheng. In short, it didn't take long for Jincheng's body to gradually get better, and his mood stabilized.

Wei Nong occasionally met her in the imperial garden, and she no longer brought up the affairs of the palace, and sometimes she would talk and laugh with Wei Nong for a while, which seemed to have not changed much from before.

This storm seems to have passed quietly, and for two months, Yan Wang's condition still did not improve.

On June 15, Nie Xingyi finally issued a decree on behalf of King Yan and announced the news of the "Crown Prince Prison Country". Xu was the reason that King Yan had been recuperating on the couch for too long, and this matter did not cause much opposition in the court, and all the ministers accepted this fact calmly, and even Nie Xingji did not refute it in the slightest.

He still couldn't leave Jingzhou and couldn't enter the palace to visit his patients, and Nie Xingyi's disguised house arrest against him did not cause him to resist fiercely. Wei Nong heard that he worshipped a master to learn painting, and devoted himself to painting in the mansion every day, or practicing martial arts and swords, as if he didn't care about the government. Someone said that the general trend of respecting the marquis had gone, and he was going to bow down to the prince, but Wei Nong knew that he must be brewing a bigger storm.

After the crown prince Nie Xingyi took charge of the country, he was busy with government affairs, and he no longer had the energy to set foot in the Longqian Palace to serve the sick. However, he has always been cautious about etiquette, has not used the holy study, all the recitals are reviewed in the East Palace, and he also makes the gesture of a corporal of Lixian. At the same time, a group of generals are also being recruited.

The scorching sun in summer, the humidity and heat in Jingzhou City are unbearable, and every time you go to Longqian Palace from the East Palace, you are full of fragrant sweat. Fortunately, King Yan's bedroom has been cool, and the palace people have also prepared sour plum soup for her to quench her thirst.

But to her surprise, she had just gone to the side hall to drink a bowl of sour plum soup that day, and when she came back, she found that Jincheng had arrived at King Yan's bedroom. After careful questioning, it was learned that after Nie Xingyi was imprisoned, the situation gradually stabilized, so Queen Helian relaxed her control of Jincheng, and had told the truth about King Yan's illness, allowing her to go to Longqian Palace every day to serve her illness.

Jin Cheng saw King Yan for the first time in several months, and looking at the drooping old man on the dragon couch, she couldn't believe it, and she cried before she could say a word.

Wei Nong didn't know how to comfort her, and stood aside without saying a word. I think anyone who comes to see his majestic and vigorous father suddenly suffering a stroke and lying on the couch, with crooked eyes and slanted mouth and paralyzed speech, I am afraid that they will be sad and sad.

"My father was born in Rongma, what a fierce person he used to be......" Jin Cheng cried so hard that he couldn't continue.

Weinong still pursed her lips and remained silent, only silently handing her a silk handkerchief.

Jin Cheng took the silk handkerchief and wiped his tears, stepped forward and knelt beside the couch, held King Yan's right arm with both hands, and sobbed in a low voice: "Father...... Your daughter has come to see you......"

King Yan's eyes rolled and looked at her, but there was no big reaction.

Seeing this, Jin Cheng cried even more sadly, turned his head to Wei Nong and asked, "Father, what's wrong?" Don't recognize me? ”

"The king has been like this lately, and when the queen and her highness came, he did not react." Wei Nong replied truthfully.

When Jin Cheng heard this, he buried his head in the futon in front of the couch and whimpered for a long time. After a long time, she wiped her tears with a silk handkerchief again.

But at this moment, King Yan suddenly had a violent response. He stared at Jin Cheng with wide eyes, and his mouth kept "babbling". What's more, he began to tremble back and forth above his shoulders, as if he was desperate to get up and speak to Kaneshiro.

Wei Nong hurriedly stepped forward to investigate, but he didn't know what King Yan wanted to say, so he had to say to Xiaoxin, who was serving on the side: "Look which imperial doctor is here, please come in!" And the ...... of Bao Gongpa"

As soon as she said this, her eyes suddenly swept a silver light, coming from Jincheng's slender wrist.

It's the bracelet! A bracelet in the same style as the eldest princess! No, to be exact, it's the same bracelet as Ming Danshu! Silver!

Wei Nong immediately stepped forward and grabbed Jin Cheng's right wrist to take a closer look, this move startled the latter: "Sister-in-law Wang......"

Wei Nong raised his eyes to look at Jin Cheng, and between the lightning and flint, a strange thought suddenly flashed in his mind, so unbelievable that even Wei Nong himself felt that it was a delusion. But she faintly felt that King Yan's sudden reaction was related to the bracelet.

She turned her gaze to the dragon couch, as she expected, King Yan was indeed staring at the bracelet on Jincheng's wrist, trembling uncontrollably, and his face was already red.

This is not good, Wei Nong was about to open his mouth to say something, and suddenly smelled a faint smell at the end of his nose. She had been sick for many days, so she naturally understood what it was, so she wanted to open the golden city.

At this moment, the imperial doctors had hurried in and gathered in front of the dragon's collapse. Wei Nong took a few steps back and made way for the imperial doctor. The palace maids also smelled a bad smell, and immediately stepped forward to wipe the body of King Yan and change the bedding.

A generation of iron-blooded kings ended up like this, Wei Nong couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and said to Jin Cheng euphemistically: "Let's go to the side hall, don't delay the imperial doctor's diagnosis and treatment." ”

Jin Cheng nodded, and neither of them poked it, and walked out together.

However, King Yan shouted "Ahhhhh

An imperial doctor looked back at Jin Cheng in embarrassment and explained, "It should be because the king misses the princess too much that he will have such a violent reaction. ”

Jin Cheng seemed to believe this statement, and said with his head bowed: "Vulgar etiquette is exempt, quickly diagnose my father!" ”

Several imperial doctors were no longer polite, and immediately began to diagnose the pulse and apply needles. They pricked a few stitches in King Yan's forehead, and King Yan gradually quieted down, except for a pair of eagle eyes that had been scattered for many days to recover some of their brilliance, leaping over the figures of the imperial doctors, and looking straight at Wei Nong and Jin Cheng.

Somehow, Wei Nong always felt that King Yan was looking at himself, and he seemed to have something to say. She remembered the thought that had just flashed through her mind, and felt that this guess was too bold to have the slightest basis.

Wei Nong's heart was confused for a while, and he didn't realize that he was still holding Jincheng's wrist, let alone that his hand was getting tighter and tighter.

Finally, Jin Cheng felt pain in his right wrist, struggled for a while, and looked at Wei Nong: "Sister-in-law Wang? ”

Wei Nong suddenly realized that he was unconscious, and then slowly let go of his hand. She remembered that Jin Cheng was not present on the day of the eldest princess's birthday banquet, so she had some luck, and asked in surprise: "This bracelet ...... It's beautiful. ”

Jin Cheng's gaze fell on his right wrist, and his eyes were full of tenderness: "Yes, I also think it looks good." ”

Wei Nong instantly caught her expression, so he deliberately looked around, pulled her to the side hall again, and asked in a low voice, "Isn't this the craftsmanship of Si Zhenfang?" But General Ming sent it? ”

Jin Cheng hesitated for a moment before he said, "Actually, it was sent by Ming Liangdi, and it passed through his hand...... Nothing more. ”

Ming Dan Shutuo Ming Chenyuan gave Jincheng a bracelet? Slightly skeptical. Everyone knows that Ming Danshu and her cousin have always been at odds, and now that they have gone through Ming Chongyuan's affairs, where can they still get along? Not to mention recognizing his relationship with Kaneshiro.

Moreover, recently, Ming Danshu and Jincheng were in Yanwang Palace, the former also took care of Jincheng for a period of time, if you want to send a bracelet, Ming Danshu can send it in person, why turn this corner? On the contrary, Ming Chenyuan has never been able to meet Jincheng, so how can he give her a bracelet?

Wei Nong repeatedly doubted in his heart, considering whether he should ask directly, and he was afraid that this was a trap laid by Queen Helian, and made a special trip to let Jincheng test him. Her thoughts were turning quickly in her heart, after all, she was afraid of startling the snake, so she said casually: "This bracelet is exquisitely made, the patterns are novel, and Si Zhenfang definitely has no such craftsmanship." ”

Jin Cheng was a little surprised when he heard this, but took the initiative to say it: "Ming Liangdi can accept my relationship with Chenlang...... I'm happy. I don't know where this bracelet came from, but it's really beautiful. ”

Wei Nong understood. No wonder Ming Danshu wanted to borrow Ming Chenyuan's hand to give away this bracelet, it turned out to be an endorsement of the relationship between the two of them! Wei Nong didn't ask any further questions, and casually said a few perfunctory words to Jin Cheng.

The two of them looked in the direction of the dormitory together, waiting for the imperial doctors' diagnosis and treatment. Thinking about the various methods used by King Yan to persecute himself in the past, and then seeing that he is now incontinent on the dragon couch, Wei Nong feels infinitely emotional, and those grievances and grievances in the past suddenly seem to have all dispersed.

She didn't know what Jin Cheng was feeling in her heart, and her mind was still on the bracelet at the moment. After waiting for a long time, the imperial doctor came out to report that "King Yan is fine", Wei Nong thought about it, and did not return to the dormitory, and found an excuse to leave Longqian Palace at random, leaving Jincheng here to take care of.

On the evening of the same day, she deliberately picked out a few high-grade jade ornaments and smashed them, and the next day, she used this as an excuse to go to Si Zhen's room. Liu Sizhen was flattered to see the crown princess coming in person, and hurriedly held the broken jade ornament to find a craftsman to repair it.

It was the first time that Wei Nong came here, only to find that Si Zhenfang occupied a large courtyard, Si Zhen, Zhangzhen, craftsmen, material selection, harvesting, warehouse, etc., and everyone was busy.

Seeing that each of them was doing their jobs here, he thought it should be an orderly scene. But after looking at it for a while, she found that it was more lively than she imagined, or rather, chaotic. Because from time to time, people come to Si Zhen's room to rummage through patterns, come empty-handed, and return empty-handed.

Wei Nong looked at it coldly for a long time, and then waited for Liu Sizhen to come back, and the latter said to her respectfully: "Let the crown princess wait for a long time, these jade ornaments can be repaired, and the slave maid has been handed over to the craftsman to rush to work, and it will be sent to the East Palace for you the day after tomorrow." ”

Wei Nong nodded with satisfaction, and said casually: "This palace wants to buy a few pairs of bracelets recently, but I don't have a favorite style. Bothered Liu Sizhen to bring the picture book, so that the palace could choose one. ”

"This ......" Liu Sizhen hesitated for a moment, quite embarrassed: "Don't you know, the day before yesterday, the warehouse of Sizhen's house ran out of water, and a few bracelet patterns happened to be burned. The slave and maid have reported this matter to the queen mother, and the mother said that now the king is sick, and in order to pray for the blessing, the slave and maid will not be held accountable for dereliction of duty, and only order the slave and maid to complete the pattern as soon as possible. ”

Liu Sizhen said this, his face was already broken, and he looked very frightened: "The slave maid has borrowed the records of the manufacturing office to make up the sample for the past few days, or will it be completed in two days, and then sent to the East Palace to be submitted to you?" ”

Such a coincidence? But Si Zhenfang's house is out of the water? Wei Nong felt that there was something strange about this matter, but asked lightly: "With the outbound records alone, Liu Sizhen can complete the pattern?" Don't you go to the palaces to see the real thing? ”

Liu Sizhen replied with great distress: "Now they are all relying on the memories of the treasures and craftsmen to make up the sample, if they really can't make it up, the slaves and maids have to bother you again." ”

Wei Nong saw that her words did not seem to be fake, and she also knew that after this fire, she would not be able to trace any clues, so she was a little negative. In the end of acting, she had to take the opportunity to reprimand Liu Sizhen a few words, pretending to be unhappy and leaving Sizhen's room, and when she stepped out of the threshold, she said coldly: "I have to keep a copy in the future, don't be too troublesome and lazy." ”
