Chapter 97: Insider

No matter how Nie Xingyi persuaded him, Jin Cheng made up his mind to marry Ming Chenyuan. Nie Xingyi had no other way, so he had to use the "procrastination trick": "I will discuss this matter with the queen mother again, you don't want to see them again in private!" ”

Jin Cheng nodded again and again in thanks, and did not forget to remind: "Brother Wang can't be dragged on, my stomach can't wait!" ”

Nie Xingyi let out an "um", and turned to look at the room where Wei Nong was. He and Jin Cheng talked outside for a long time, but the woman didn't show up, obviously not wanting to see him. Thinking like this, Nie Xingyi became inexplicably angry, and then remembered that Fang Cai Weinong was alone with Nie Xingji, and felt even more ashamed.

Seeing that he had been looking at the room, Jin Cheng couldn't help but ask tentatively: "Brother Wang, don't be angry with your sister-in-law...... It's all my fault. ”

Nie Xingyi had his own thoughts, snorted coldly, and sneered: "Since she is so ignorant, I must let her taste the bitterness!" ”

"What...... What's the bitterness? Kaneshiro unconsciously tensed.

Nie Xingyi's eyes flickered, and a trace of ruthlessness floated: "I want her to kneel and beg me!" ”

*****

On the third day after he said this, news came from outside the palace that Chuyin, the former king of Chu and now the Marquis of Yong'an, fell from his horse and suffered an intracranial hemorrhage, and died for two days.

After all, he was once the king of a country, Nie Xingyi ordered a grand funeral for him, and personally went to mourn to show the benevolence of the new monarch. When the news reached Wei Nong's ears, she insisted on going to worship, and forcibly broke out of the Yanwang Palace despite the obstruction of the guards, and went straight to the Yong'an Hou Mansion.

Nie Xingyi even said cruel words, as long as she dared to go, she would be imprisoned in the cold palace forever. And that didn't change her decision.

It is the fifth day of the death of the Marquis of Yong'an, and the number of people who come to pay their respects is gradually decreasing. In particular, the King of Chu had just fallen out with Nie Xingyi because of his daughter's suicide before his death, so no one in the court dared to come to worship again, and they were busy drawing a line with the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.

There was a plain white curtain hanging on the lintel, full of funeral colors, and he walked into the cold Yong'an Hou Mansion in a slightly thick white dress, without any obstruction. As soon as the housekeeper heard that she had come to worship Yong'anhou, he immediately led her to the mourning hall.

Since Chu Heng went to Jiang, the position of the prince of Yong'an Hou was inherited by Chu Cong, the youngest son of the king of Chu. At this moment, he was wearing linen and filial piety, standing alone in the mourning hall to welcome guests. When Wei Nong married to the state of Chu, Chu Cong was still young and had been living in the palace of the king of Chu, and he had not opened a mansion to be sealed. Therefore, she and Chu Cong have already met many times, and they also know that this time they will definitely expose the fact that they are not dead.

Thinking of this, Wei Nong's steps paused and stopped in front of the mourning hall.

Chu Cong was still standing at the door, his expression was calm, looking at the direction she had come from. I have to say that the children of the King of Chu have inherited the good appearance of their parents, the three sons are all magnificent, and the daughters are charming, exuding the exquisiteness that belongs to Chu.

In the past, the three sons and three daughters of the king of Chu loved each other and loved each other happily, but now only this one son is left guarding the mourning hall, and Wei Nong feels uncomfortable in his heart. In the blink of an eye, the state of Chu has been destroyed for nearly three years, and the childish little prince at the beginning has finally grown into a towering tree, and now it is independent of the mourning hall, and it looks so majestic and upright, and it is already the pillar of this mansion.

Wei Nong stepped into the door while thinking, and before he could speak, Chu Cong had already handed over three sticks of incense, lowered his eyes and saluted: "Chu Cong thank Mrs. for coming to mourn, dare to ask Mrs. what to call him?" ”

Wei Nong stretched out his hand to take the three incense sticks, and said lightly: "Wait for me to burn incense and worship with Yong'an Hou, and then talk to the prince in detail!" ”

Originally, Chu Cong saw that the person who came was a female dependent, and although he was surprised, he didn't ask more out of courtesy. However, when he heard this voice at this moment, he felt a little familiar, and after all, he couldn't help but raise his head to look at the person.

When he saw it, he was shocked when he saw a ghost: "You! You! You are ......"

Wei Nong raised his hand to stop him: "Don't disturb the deceased, wait for me to finish this pillar of incense." After saying that, she reverently walked to the altar, respectfully knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, and offered incense to mourn.

Chu Cong has just turned seventeen years old this year, and he used to be taken care of by his brothers and sisters, so he has always been an impulsive and reckless character. But the Chu royal family has suffered great changes one after another, and he is still much more stable in the end, and he has been pressing until Wei Nong finishes the incense, and then he beckons the housekeeper to come to the mourning hall and leads Wei Nong to the inner hall for a secret talk.

"Are you the royal sister-in-law?" As soon as Chu Cong's words came out, he knew that he was speechless, and he hurriedly changed his words: "No, no, it's Princess Qingcheng?" ”

Wei Nong did not deny it, but said: "After returning to Yan Kingdom, I changed my identity and remarried. ”

"Remarried...... Chu Cong glanced at Wei Nong with a complicated expression, and asked hesitantly, "Father, does he know?" ”

Wei Nong nodded: "He knows." But he didn't know who I was married to. ”

"What about Brother Wang?" Chu Cong asked eagerly, "I mean...... The second royal brother Chu Heng. ”

"He doesn't know." Wei Nong remembered the poisonous oath he made in front of the King of Chu, and said with a little regret: "I swore to your father that I would hide it from him forever, so that he would think that Princess Qingcheng was really dead." ”

Chu Cong breathed a sigh of relief, slowly surfaced with resentment, and forcibly said: "Since you have changed your identity and remarried, it has nothing to do with the Chu royal family." I know I can't blame you for some things, but I can't help but ......"

His eyes were slightly red, and the green tendons were vaguely visible on his forehead, and he endured it for a long time before continuing: "My eldest sister won't talk about it, the eldest brother died on the battlefield, the second brother left Jiang Kingdom, the second sister was already weak, and died of fear and anxiety in the battle of Yan Chu, and the royal sister Chuhuan was also forced to commit suicide...... If it hadn't been for Brother Wang's confession in the past, do you know how much I want to kill you? ”

"I know!" The tip of his nose was slightly thick and sour, and he shed tears before he spoke: "It's all my fault...... I didn't protect you......"

Chu Cong turned his head no longer to look at Weinong, and took a few deep breaths: "You go!" I don't want to see you again. In the future, you don't have to come again. ”

Wei Nong stood still, holding back tears and asking, "Why are you the only one who keeps the spirit?" ”

Chu Cong's eyes flickered and looked out of the door, and he laughed at himself in a low voice: "Why did I drag my clansmen to guard the spirit?" This is clearly to offend Nie Xingyi. The state of Chu is dead, I have to leave them a way to live, don't I? ”

Wei Nong was so blocked that he had nothing to say, wiped away his tears, and then asked, "I came today to verify one thing......

Chu Cong immediately looked back at her, and a trace of inexplicability appeared on his face, like vigilance, and nervousness: "What do you want to ask?" ”

Seeing him so defensive, Wei Nong's heart tingled, but he still asked: "I want to know, is the death of your father an accident?" ”

Chu Cong frowned when he heard this, and his vigilance finally lifted, and he casually sarcastic: "Why do you ask that?" If my father had been deliberately murdered, would you have been able to avenge us? ”

"Yes." Chu Cong didn't expect that Wei Nong would agree: "But I need to know the ins and outs of the matter." As far as I know, your father, the king, has been sick for many days because of your sister's death, so why did he suddenly go to court five days ago? How could he fall off the carriage after the morning court? ”

Chu Cong looked at Wei Nong in surprise, he didn't expect that she would really explore this matter. After pondering for a while, he reorganized his expression and replied: "It is true that my father has not been in court for many days, but since Ding Jiuche's father and son were severely punished, he actually feels much better in his heart. Some time ago, his father wanted to send Wang Mei's body back to his homeland for burial, he thought that the limelight had passed, and it was time for Nie Xingyi to ascend the throne and grant amnesty to the world, so he picked a day to go to the court, wanting to find an opportunity to mention this matter to Nie Xingyi. ”

When Chu Cong said this, his expression was sad and indignant: "After the dispersal of the dynasty, my father asked to see him alone, but Nie Xingyi was not allowed to send Wang Mei back to his homeland, but instead reprimanded his father for being suspected of plotting to change the country!" My father was so angry that he didn't take the carriage, but galloped back in a fit of rage, and then he accidentally fell off the horse and caused a tragedy......"

It's Nie Xingyi again!

When Wei Nong heard this, he was even more angry: "The deceased is great, and he even refuses to meet this request?!" ”

"He's a cold-blooded brute!" Chu Cong's eyes were also scarlet, as if there was endless blood and tears hidden in them: "He still dares to change the Yuan 'Tiande', isn't he afraid of being punished by God?" ”

yes, isn't he afraid? Wei Nong restrained the anger in his chest, closed his eyes fiercely, clenched his hands, and said, "I understand." ”

Yes, she got it all! Nie Xingyi is to take revenge on her! She took the lead in Chu Huan's death, she forced him to dispose of Ding Jiuche's father and son, and she had a secret conversation with Nie Xingji in the dormitory in Jincheng...... This pile has touched his reverse scales!

Because she didn't bother to admit her mistakes to him, she couldn't learn from Ming Danshu, so he turned his dissatisfaction with her and his anger at her on the King of Chu!

Then who is she going to vent her anger at this moment?!

"Also, after my father fell off the horse, the horseman found out that one of the horse's hooves was loose......" Chu Cong saw that Weinong's eyes had been closed, and thought that she couldn't bear to listen anymore, and said angrily: "The horseman came from the Chu State, and he would never have a bad heart, and that night, he died because of self-blame." ”

Wei Nong suddenly opened his eyes: "What do you mean?" ”

"I'm not interesting." Chu Cong did not speculate, but truthfully stated his considerations: "Nie Xingyi succeeded to the throne at the beginning of the year, and he should not go on a killing spree, even if he wants to, he should not use my father to open the knife." So I don't dare to say whether this was an accident or a man-made, I'm just telling you the facts. ”

Fact? The fact is that the horse's hooves are loose! Wei Nong almost trembled with hatred, her eyes contained monstrous killing intent, only by forcibly restraining herself would she not lose her temper in front of Chu Cong!

Nie Xingyi! You filthy, hateful, narrow-minded scumbag!

"Don't worry, I will give you an explanation for this matter!" She solemnly and word-for-word promises.

Chu Cong saw her awe-inspiring expression, her eyes were red, but she became worried: "How do you want to give an explanation?" You ......"

He hesitated for a moment, and persuaded incoherently: "Brother Wang...... Belch...... I mean, before he died, he told you not to seek revenge for him, and he didn't want to have anything to do with you. He said...... I hope you stay away from the court. ”
