Later, even Xiaoxin, who was loyal to Nie Xingji, was questioning: "How big is His Highness's heart!" He didn't find out about so many deficits! It seems that no one is perfect, and His Highness is also incompetent! ”

"Maybe His Highness has already found out, but he doesn't bother to check it at all." Ming Chenyuan still replied to Nie Xingji in the end, and explained for him: "Think about it, His Royal Highness has been in power for five years, and the court has been turbulent in the first two years, and he has been busy stabilizing people's hearts; After three years of turmoil in Kyushu, he was busy balancing the three kingdoms...... Moreover, those are all old people in the palace, and they are deeply rooted, and he can't uproot them for a while. ”

Although Wei Nong understood, he still couldn't help but have a headache: "No wonder he wants to take back Ming Danshu's phoenix seal, how much mess did she leave for me!" ”

Nie Xingji has only been in power for five years, and there are only a few concubines in the harem, all of whom have followed him in Fangzhou before, and they will not spend too much over the years; And the East Palace is even more empty, and the Inner Fang Bureau can be regarded as a virtual reality. In such a situation, a rough check of the account of the Inner Servant Province is already bottomless, how dark and deep is this pool of muddy water? No one knows.

She only knew that if she investigated, she would inevitably make a big move, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Now, Ming Chenyuan has to say that his slight concerns were right. Nie Xingji is to let her stabilize the harem, not let her disturb the harem. After all, the Twenty-Four Divisions of the Sixth Bureau are a group of female streamers, and they will be checked, and the wind and waves of tossing are limited; But the group of eunuchs in the province are not idle at all, there are still little eunuchs under the big eunuchs, the master and apprentice godfather and son, not to mention the same spirit, many of them are still close to the previous dynasty.

There are too many lessons from the past in front of them, there are not a few eunuchs usurping power in history, if it really annoys them, and Nie Xingji is not in the palace, what can they do if they want to usurp power en masse? This threat is no less powerful than fighting! At least he was still somewhat sure of the war, but how to quell the usurpation of power by the eunuchs...... It really gave him a headache.

"Now that it is useless to complain, I will write a letter to report to His Highness, and see if I should continue to investigate and deal with it, or stop it!" Mingchen has been checking for a month, and he is also afraid.

"It's okay to stop, but I have to ask about the huge amount of silver withdrawn by the Longqian Palace." The slight thickness is far more firm than Mingchen.

In the past month, he roughly flipped through the account books of the Inner Servant Province, and found that Nie Xingyi had withdrawn a lot of silver taels, and the use was also very suspicious - it was always under the pretext of using medicine, and the expenses were extremely frequent.

Although Xiaoxin also had doubts in her heart, she still said something for Nie Xingyi: "As far as the slave maid knows...... The one in Long Qiangong has not been in good health in the past few years, and he is barely using drugs to maintain himself. ”

"Barely on drugs?" Wei Nong was puzzled: "Is it because of the assassination back then?" But it's been five or six years, and he used Blood Gu again, hasn't he recovered yet? ”

Xiaoxin and Mingchenyuan both shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know.

Wei Nong had no choice but to summon Lian Kuo for questioning. Since he followed Nie Xingji to Yan Kingdom last year, his whereabouts have been uncertain, and the divine dragon has not seen the head and the end. Nie Xingji wanted to reuse him many times, but he politely declined, the reason being: "When the world is unified, it is the time for me to become a leader." ”

It just so happened that Nie Xingji was also arrogant because of him, and he really didn't force him anymore, he only sent him to the Imperial Doctor's Office, and didn't assign him any tasks. But he actually never worked as an errand in the Imperial Medical Department, he has been living outside the palace for more than a year, and only enters the palace once a month to diagnose Nie Xingji's pulse, and he comes and goes as soon as he wants, and his temper disappears for several days in a row, either to collect medicine, or to go to the mountains and rivers, and twice even Nie Xingji can't find him.

This time, Nie Xingji went to Jiang Country again, considering his homesickness, he originally wanted to take him with him. Unexpectedly, he refused again, saying that Nie Xingji's trip did not know what the outcome would be, and if Yan Jiang failed to negotiate peace, he would be caught in a dilemma, so it was better not to go.

In fact, Lian Kuo hadn't seen Nie Xingyi in the past year, and the reason why Wei Nong wanted to summon him for questioning was because he had performed the Blood Gu Technique on Nie Xingyi back then, and she needed to figure out how much damage this method would bring to Nie Xingyi's body.

Fortunately, Wei Nong's luck was not bad, Lian Kuo had been tinkering with medicinal materials in the mansion given to him by Nie Xingji in the past few days, and she quickly found someone and got the answer she wanted-Nie Xingyi's injuries were indeed very serious back then, but he was young and had a good foundation, and after practicing the blood Gu, he should be fine, at most he was a little weaker, with more minor problems, and a few years shorter lifespan.

This is very suspicious, if you are just weak, why use so much money to buy medicinal herbs? Thinking of Nie Xingyi's instigation of Ming Chenyuan's rebellion, Wei Nong already thought that he had bad intentions: "Will he use this money to bribe the courtiers and take the opportunity to subvert Nie Xingji?" ”

Ming Chenyuan was also shocked, and then said no: "Will it?" Lian Pian has always been by his side and has never mentioned it. ”

"Wei Lianpian is not an immortal, how can he stare at Nie Xingyi everywhere?" The more Wei Nong thought about it, the more strange he felt, and immediately ordered Xiaoxin: "You go to the Longqian Palace to deliver a message for me, just say that I will go to greet the king's illness tomorrow and ask him to set an hour." ”

When Xiaoxin took the order and left, Wei Nong began to regret it again, and paced back and forth worriedly: "You said that I would startle the snake by doing this?" Should Xiaoxin be called back first? ”

Ming Chen smiled from afar: "You were resolute a few days ago, why were you nervous as soon as you met Nie Xingyi?" ”

"For money is small, but rebellion is great! Nie Xingyi...... I haven't seen him for years, I don't know what he's doing now, and I'm really not sure how to deal with him. Wei Nong said truthfully.

Ming Chenyuan smiled helplessly: "Don't be nervous, we don't dare to start in the internal service province, because there are many people with great power and too many troubles." But Nie Xingyi has long been powerless and powerless, and he is not of royal blood, once he dares to make trouble, I can immediately make him ruined. “

"Thou shalt not be underestimated." Wei Nong cautiously persuaded.

Ming Chenyuan smiled again: "The last time I mentioned his dream of uncle to His Highness, His Highness has already stepped up his precautions. Now even if he has the ability to reach the sky, as long as he is still in the Yan Palace, he will not be able to escape. Besides, the whole palace knows that you have thoroughly checked the accounts, and it is only a matter of time before you find out about the Long Qian Palace, maybe he will not suspect anything. ”

"That's the same reason," Wei Nong felt a little relieved when he heard this, and then listened to the other party's persuasion, "No matter what you find, don't deal with him for the time being." ”

Wei Nong didn't think so, she was a dead eye, since she had received the phoenix seal, she wanted to do her best to cut off the troubles for Nie Xingji, so she said: "If he is safe, I will naturally not deal with him; But if he is not calm enough, I will not show mercy. ”

"Don't!" Ming Chenyuan stopped: "After all, he bears the name of the king, if you deal with him, you will commit the following crimes, and you will definitely be vindicated." ”

"Again," he paused, "again...... It's not good for His Highness's reputation either. Especially if His Royal Highness is not in the palace, once Nie Xingyi has an accident, it will cause turmoil in the court, and the country will not be a country. ”

After Ming Chenyuan's reminder, Wei Nong woke up to the serious consequences. Thinking of what Nie Xingji had told her before leaving, she felt quite uncomfortable. Even Ming Chenyuan could think of the serious consequences, Nie Xingji naturally thought about it even more, since he knew what the consequences of Nie Xingyi's accident would be, why did he tell her not to show mercy before leaving?

Does he want her to let go and do things without any scruples? And then come to clean up the aftermath for her? He really pampered himself.

Wei suppressed the uncertain emotions in his heart, and gradually calmed down: "You're right, then I'll warn him." ”

Ming Chenyuan nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I still have something I want to ask you for." ”

"Now we are supporting each other, Master Hou is polite."

Ming Chenyuan sighed with difficulty: "I heard the housekeeper in the house say that Jincheng has been in a bad mood in recent days, and he is estimated to go to the palace to find Nie Xingyi to complain." I hope you can find an excuse to berate her...... It's best to let her taste a little bitterness like Ming Danshu under house arrest. ”

"I see."

*****

That night, Wei Nong picked up the lamp to write a report to Nie Xingji, recounting the recent incidents, and also mentioning that he wanted to check the accounts in Nie Xingyi's palace. In the past few months, she has strictly followed the agreement between the two of them, reported the latest situation every half month, and has sent eight letters so far. However, Nie Xingji only replied to her once when he first arrived in Jiang Guo, and never wrote to her privately after that, always greeting her at the end along with the approval letter for military affairs.

Of course, Wei Nong knew that others had a lot of inconveniences in Jiang Guo, and ignoring her like this was also a way to protect her. Therefore, she was more concerned about his situation in the peace talks in Jiangguo, and she heard that he had fallen into a stalemate in the terms of the negotiations, so she couldn't help but worry about him.

It was night, and Weinong went to bed early, striving to be able to meet Nie Xingyi the next day. It's a pity that she still has insomnia all night, and she doesn't know what she is anxious about.

Early the next morning, she had to cover it up with fat powder, and she looked like a "face saint" with makeup. In order not to make Nie Xingyi suspicious, Wei Nong pretended not to know about his bad intentions, and did not ask the imperial doctor who treated Nie Xingyi again, but directly took Lian Kuo and Xiaoxin to Longqian Palace, wanting to see how this nominal king was and whether he was really as weak as everyone said.

When she didn't want to come to Longqian Palace, Nie Xingyi was waiting in the outer hall early. I haven't seen each other for a long time, and this meeting is a surprise.

Nie Xingyi was the first to frown: "Heavy makeup, it's not like you." ”

Wei Nong was surprised by his skinny skinnyness, and not only that, but he was also pale and lacking in energy. Yesterday, Xiaoxin made a special trip to inquire that he has rarely had sex in recent years, and he has never had any children, all because of his body. Wei Nong originally thought it was an exaggeration, but when I saw it today, the graceful prince of the East Palace was already more than ten years old.

Wei Nong has studied medical books for more than a year, and he has also entered the door for medical skills, and he has some experience. If you look at it according to her level, Nie Xingyi does not look like pretending to be sick.

Could it be that Nie Xingyi is really about to die? But how can a dying man still dream of becoming an uncle of the country? Even if Ming Chenyuan can successfully rebel, will he still have the life to enjoy glory and wealth? Now that he is in this condition, shouldn't he cultivate his self-cultivation and recuperate with peace of mind?
