Chapter 13: Assassin Suspicion (1)

The two went to the study together and sat down in tacit understanding. Ming Chenyuan looked around the house and couldn't help sighing: "I haven't been here since you went to Fangzhou, everything is still the same." ”

"I'm nostalgic." Nie Xingji's words were concise and to the point.

Ming Chenyuan has been Nie Xingji's companion since he was a child, and the two have been together in the Yanwang Palace for more than ten years, almost inseparable. Even if Nie Xingji left the palace six years ago and went to Fengyi, the two never broke off contact.

As everyone knows, Jinghou and Ming Xiangshu have a very close relationship and deep friendship. When attacking Chu last year, it was precisely because of Nie Xingji's best recommendation that Ming Chenyuan was able to rise so fast, jumping up in the army, and being in the limelight for a while.

In the eyes of outsiders, Ming Chen is far from Nie Xingji's cronies, but in fact, they are like brothers and have nothing to talk about. All of Nie Xingji's thoughts, whether it was ambitions or feelings, were clear to him.

At this moment, Mingchen saw that Nie Xingchen was expressionless, and knew that he had touched a nail in the palace, and hurriedly asked, "Is it because of Princess Qingcheng?" ”

Nie Xingji didn't deny it. When he learned that Qingcheng was not a royal bloodline, he guessed that after the destruction of Chu, his father would not let Qingcheng stay in the Yan Palace, but he would not reveal her background. He thought at the time that since they still needed to bear the status of brother and sister for the time being, it was better to marry Ming Chenyuan than to see her marry someone else.

Ming Chenyuan will treat Qingcheng well and take care of her very well, and when he has the ability in the future, he will naturally pick her up and arrange a new identity for her. Out of this consideration, he asked Ming Chenyuan to take advantage of his military exploits to ask for a marriage to face the saint.

He thought that Qingcheng was a hot potato, and his father would definitely agree...... Unexpectedly, I made the wrong move.

However, it also let him know some unknown inside information.

"About the marriage of the princess, next...... What are you going to do? Ming Chenyuan was a little worried.

Nie Xingchen was quite calm, just because the "queen's life" was destined that Qingcheng would not marry outside, which made him temporarily relieved: "Her affairs will be put aside for now, but my father gave you a marriage today, what are you going to do?" ”

"What else can I do? That's a good thing! Ming Chenyuan smiled nonchalantly: "The lord of Zecheng has made the princess, and I will also be a colt in the future." ”

When Nie Xingji saw him like this, he knew that he still couldn't let go of it in his heart, so he persuaded: "There is no grass at the end of the world, you can look at it!" ”

"Your Highness laughed." Ming Chenyuan was still stiff-mouthed, and replied casually: "I've seen it a long time ago!" I'm just a concubine of a Ming family, and I still have this self-knowledge. Now that she is doing well, I am very happy for her. ”

"It's best if you think like that." Nie Xingji was silent for a moment, and his face was gloomy: "You and I are both tired of being a concubine, and we have suffered from unwantedness, and we really have the same disease." ”

Mingchen was far from answering, obviously not wanting to talk about this topic again. He saw that Nie Xingji's face was slightly pale, and he turned to care about his assassination: "Your Highness has to take care of your body in order to plan for a long time." Do you have a clue about the Assassin at the inn? ”

Nie Xingji didn't answer, got up and took a box from the bookcase behind him and handed it to Ming Chenyuan.

Ming Chenyuan opened it and saw that it was a white jade wrench that was broken in half! There was a lot of blood stained on the crack of the wrench, and it had become a dark brown color over time.

"What is this?" Mingchen is far from clear.

"This is lost by the Assassins." Nie Xingji said lightly.
