Oh, yes! If Nie Xingji wins in the end, will Nie Xingyi still live?

Suddenly, Wei Nong remembered what King Yan had said to her more than a year ago - "After a hundred years of loneliness, no matter who of their brothers ascends to the throne, the one who is defeated, please keep him alive." ”

and last year's Mid-Autumn Festival, Nie Xingji said on Qianxia Mountain - "People are not dead, what is the use of coffins?" This fine wood, you can prepare it for Nie Xingyi! ”

Indeed, with Nie Xingji's character, he will definitely cut down the grass and eradicate the roots after gaining power. Don't say that Nie Xingyi is gone, even if it is his concubine's children, I'm afraid they may not be able to survive.

"If you succeed to the throne, can you really keep Nie Xingji alive?" Wei Nong couldn't help but ask, she needed a very definite answer.

When Nie Xingyi heard this, he was obviously displeased, but he still replied truthfully: "I can swear to you." ”

Seeing his expression, Wei Nong knew that he had misunderstood his old feelings for Nie Xingji, but when he remembered King Yan's original entrustment, he couldn't explain it. At this moment, an extremely urgent question flashed in her mind, and she blurted out almost without thinking, "Since you can allow Nie Xingji to live, how could he be assassinated in Chu in the first place?" ”

Nie Xingyi frowned and replied ambiguously: "Whether you believe it or not, his injuries were not caused by us. If you think about Ming's fate, who benefited the most? ”

"What?" Weinong's expression changed greatly, and he immediately got up, his expression was in disbelief.

Nie Xingyi pretended to look at her openly, looking like he had a clear conscience.

Wei Nong's heart was in turmoil, and he only felt that this matter was full of suspicions, and he couldn't figure out the truth for a while, so he could only press his thoughts and say: "I don't care how you plan to deal with him, and I don't care what means you brothers use to deal with each other." But I hope you don't forget your promise today, and spare him his life. ”

Nie Xingyi looked at her for a long time before sighing in a slightly sour tone: "You treat him really well." ”

"People like him have long put life and death out of the way. Let him lose everything is the best revenge. Wei Nong turned his eyes to look out the window again: "If you are in a different position today, I will also protect you." ”

Hearing this, Nie Xingyi finally showed a little emotion, and sighed incomparably: "I hope this day will never come." ”

Many years later, this scene is still vividly retained in Nie Xingyi's mind. Every word, every expression, the light but honest words, every time he thinks of it, he will feel the cruelty of fate.

God already knew the doomed end, but he still forced them, who knew nothing, to embark on the road of no return......

*****

Since that day, Wei Nong has gone to the Longqian Palace every day to serve the decoction. King Yan is indeed awake, but he is half-paralyzed, his tongue is crooked, and he can only lie on the dragon couch every day and "babble" and shout, like a waste.

Under the strong deterrence of Queen Helian, the concubines did not dare to set foot in the Longqian Palace to visit the sick. In addition to the palace people close to King Yan, only the queen, the prince and her three can serve King Yan closely, and the imperial doctors are also tight-lipped, so outsiders don't know what King Yan's condition is.

But the folds were passed into the Longqian Palace like a stream, and sent out like a flowing water, and the handwriting of the cinnabar red pen was indeed from the handwriting of King Yan. Although the ministers were suspicious, they didn't dare to ask more. Only Wei Nong knew that it was Nie Xingyi's imitation.

The entire Yanwang Palace was shrouded in an extremely strange atmosphere, as if the calm before the storm, everyone tensed their heartstrings, lest something happen at the moment.

And the most elusive of them is Jinghou Nie Xingji. Since King Yan fainted in the Eldest Princess's Mansion, he has only entered the palace to visit his illness once, and he should have been stopped by Queen Helian. After that, he didn't mention this matter anymore, and only sent some medicinal supplements into the palace every once in a while and handed them over to the Imperial Doctor's Department.

Under such circumstances, some courtiers close to Nie Xingji had begun to worry about him, and secretly advised him to quickly try to leave Jingzhou and return to Fengyi. However, Nie Xingji himself was not in a hurry, as if he was not worried about his life, and he rarely went out to practice martial arts and swords every day, and only moved around Shengjiafang.

Everyone seemed to be calm as usual, but Princess Jincheng couldn't hold her breath. She was pregnant with a posthumous child, and was forced to temporarily cut off contact with Ming Chenyuan, and lived in Yanwang Palace for more than a month, and no one around her analyzed the situation for her to make ideas. Her closest mother, the queen mother and brother Wang, also hid everything from her, and did not let her go to Longqian Palace to visit the sick on the grounds that "the sickness will be transmitted to the fetus in the womb".

In the past month or so, she has only seen Queen Helian twice, and each time she has met in a hurry; The prince didn't have a figure, and only asked Ming Danshu to come to talk to her from time to time. However, Jincheng is the descendant of the Ming family in his belly, so Ming Danshu takes care of it quite well.

But Rao is accompanied by someone carefully, and Jincheng is still more and more restless. This feeling of panic finally broke out on the last day of May, and she went to the East Palace with her stomach up.

Don't look for Nie Xingyi, but go to Weinong.

At that time, Wei Nong was serving decoction in Longqian Palace. After more than a month of secret diagnosis and treatment, Yan Wang's mind gradually sobered up, but the symptoms of crooked eyes and slanted mouth did not improve in the slightest, and he was still unable to speak and was paralyzed in bed.

When Queen Helian and Nie Xingyi were around, King Yan always ignored him, but when Nie Xingyi read the excerpt, he would blink to express his approval or rejection, and say the word "quasi" indistinctly.

However, when Wei Nong was alone in his illness, King Yan was not like this. He always looked at Wei Nong, and his mouth was "babbling" and he was eager to say something, and his eyes exuded eagerness and worry.

Wei Nong thought that he was worried about the situation between the DPRK and China and the safety of Nie Xingji, so he told him about Nie Xingji's recent situation every once in a while, and repeatedly promised that he would fulfill his promise that day and keep Nie Xingji safe and sound.

Every time he heard Wei Nong's promise, King Yan had a slight look of comfort in his eyes, but what he wanted to express the rest, Wei Nong couldn't understand anymore.

On this day, Wei Nong went back to the East Palace in the afternoon to take a rest, and ran into the worried Jincheng, who had been pacing back and forth outside the Hanzi Palace. Seeing this, Wei Nong didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly helped her into the hall, and said, "The hotter the weather is, the princess is heavy, why bother to make this trip." I'll do it in the past. ”

Jin Cheng wiped the sweat on his forehead: "Don't worry, I should just come out and walk around." ”

Wei Nong has been busy serving in Longqian Palace these days, and he really hasn't moved around with Jincheng. Moreover, they couldn't talk about friendship with each other before, and she couldn't guess about Jincheng's sudden visit.

The two sat down in the Hanzi Palace, and Jin Cheng didn't even say a polite word, but expressed his meaning directly: "Sister-in-law Wang, I have two things I want to ask you." ”

Seeing her cautious expression, Wei Nong also raised her spirit and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"I want to go and see my father; Also, I want to see Dusty. "Kaneshiro pleaded.

These two requests, Wei Nong asked himself that he couldn't do it alone, so he truthfully refused: "Princess, you also know my former identity." I, the crown princess, seem to be honorable, but in fact, I am weak and have no support. You might as well ask Ming Liangdi, maybe it will work better than me. ”

"Ming Liangdi has always followed the rules, and it is impossible to arrange it for me." Jin Cheng bit his lower lip and said, "Besides, you can go to Longqian Palace to serve the sick, Ming Liangdi does not have this qualification." ”

Wei Nong groaned when she heard this, remembering that King Yan's illness was related to the fortunes of the country, and she didn't dare to reveal it easily, so she said euphemistically: "The queen and His Royal Highness don't mention it to you, because they are afraid that you will worry." ”

"Somehow, I'm always flustered." Jin Cheng covered his heart with one hand and supported his waist with the other: "Sister-in-law Wang, you said that I and Chenlang...... Can the Father agree? ”

Hearing these two sentences, Wei Nong understood. It turned out that what Jin Cheng was most worried about was not King Yan's illness, but about her and Ming Chenyuan's future...... Wei Nong felt a little funny, and he didn't have the heart to think about Ming Chenyuan's affairs, so he replied casually: "If General Ming is really infatuated, he can naturally move the king and queen." ”

Jin Cheng bit his lip again: "Inherit the king's sister-in-law's auspicious words." ”

Wei Nong was really tired, the imperial servants were working hard, and she was originally forced to talk to Jin Cheng. After hearing the other party's intention, she lost any energy for a moment, got up and said, "It's important for the princess to have a good baby, I'll send someone to send you back." ”

"No need." Jin Cheng also slowly stood up with the handrail: "I came by chariot." ”

The journey from the East Palace to the Lingxi Palace where Jincheng lives is not a short journey. Out of courtesy, Wei Nong still greeted Xiaoxin, the maid of the personal palace, and ordered her: "You go and see who is Ming Liangdi and Wei Liangyuan, and ask them to send the princess back to Lingxi Palace on my behalf." ”

Ming Danshu doesn't need to mention Jincheng's heart, but Wei Nong relies on Wei Liangyuan more. Wei Liangyuan's boudoir name is Lian Pian, as the name suggests, she was born as a dancing girl, she can gain a firm foothold in the East Palace, and has won the favor of the prince Nie Xingyi for several years, so she is naturally a calm and measured person. There are more than a dozen concubines in the East Palace, and they have been observing for a long time, and they have the most favorable impression of Wei Liangyuan.

Xiaoxin got a slight order, immediately took the order, and came back after a short time to report: "The slave maid didn't find Ming Liangdi, and she was afraid that the princess would be in a hurry, so she invited Wei Liangyuan over." ”

Xiaoxin has always reassured Wei Nong, and Jin Cheng also smiled when she heard this: "This female official next to Sister-in-law Wang is really smart. ”

Xiaoxin is just a palace maid, and the female official's words are obviously a kind of promotion, she hurriedly thanked Jin Cheng for the compliment, and helped the other party out of the Hanzi Palace. Wei Nong also came out to see him off.

Wei Liangyuan was already standing at the bottom of the stairs at this time, and naturally passed Jincheng from Xiaoxin's hand, raised her eyes and smiled at Wei Nong: "Don't worry, the concubine will escort the princess back to Lingxi Palace safely." ”

Jin Cheng also saluted at the right time: "Sister-in-law Wang, stay here!" I'm sorry for your trouble today. ”

Wei Nong didn't insist on sending each other anymore, and stopped at the foot of the Hanzi Palace. Wei Liangyuan supported Jincheng, followed by the palace maids of Lingxi Palace, and seven or eight people walked towards the outside of the East Palace.

Princess Jincheng's chariot stopped outside the East Palace, and seeing that the palace gate was in sight, Wei Liangyuan suddenly quietly stuffed a note to Jincheng. Jin Cheng paused, glanced at Wei Liangyuan in surprise, and saw that she was smiling, so he tightened his palms and didn't say anything more.
