Chapter 49: Struggle
"There are many earrings in this palace, and I can't count them myself, and the earrings that Lord Cui said, even if the emperor rewarded them to this palace, maybe they would have been rewarded by this palace to which palace maid or concubine."
Concubine Ning said, but Master Cui did not say anything, but continued to bury his head and pretend to be dead.
Concubine Ning didn't know why, and looked at Wei Yan.
Wei Yan sighed lightly and said, "Those earrings were your reward when you entered the palace, and you always liked to wear them before." ”
Concubine Ning immediately understood that this was the earrings that the original NPC Concubine Ning cherished the most when she didn't enter the game, and it was the kind of earrings that were cherished to the point that everyone knew it.
Then it is impossible to be rewarded by her, and it is impossible to be lost by her and not look for it!
Seeing that Concubine Ning was dumbfounded, Wei Yan continued to ask Master Cui, "Are there any other clues?" ”
"After General Geng's autopsy, it was not found that there was a phenomenon of long-term poisoning as mentioned by Concubine Ding, which was more like being sick and his stomach was atrophied. Come to think of it, General Geng should have had symptoms such as frequent vomiting and inability to eat before his death, even if he didn't have the arsenic at the longevity banquet, he wouldn't live long. The ministers also went to check General Geng's mansion and found a handwritten letter in Miss Geng's boudoir, and there were no other useful clues. ”
Gonggong Yan took the handwritten book from Master Cui's hand, and after Wei Yan read the ten lines at a glance, he sighed, waved his hand to let Master Cui kneel, and handed the handwritten book to Concubine Ning.
Concubine Ning took it and found that it was written like a diary of the youngest daughter's family, and the general content was how much she loved the emperor and how much she hoped to enter the palace to become a concubine, and the date was also before they entered.
This handwritten letter is enough to overturn the case for Geng Chongrong to commit suicide due to personal affairs. But, Wei Yan, is it because of this handwritten letter and this earring that I killed Geng Chongrong? You know I don't! ”
Seeing Concubine Ning getting excited, Wei Yan frowned and reassured: "You and I were in Yanxi Palace that night, so you naturally have an alibi." It's just that the pearl was discovered, but I'm afraid that Wei Yan wants to start with this, either let you quit the game, or expose what the pearl did. ”
Concubine Ning's hand holding the paper tightened, and asked, "So, pulling me into the water is just by the way, what Fang Ce really wants to do is the pearl!" Or is it the emperor who let the pearl do things? ”
"So can you be sure that the pearl is an NPC?"
"Sure."
Wei Yan tapped the armchair with his finger and said, "I can also be sure that General Geng is an NPC, and he has been a royalist for so many years, and he has never stood on Fang Ce's side. ”
Concubine Ning said: "But Mrs. Geng and Geng Chongrong, I'm afraid they are both players." ”
"Even if he is influenced by the people closest to him, General Geng has no reason to do such a life-threatening thing, unless he ......"
Seeing Concubine Ning's puzzled face, Wei Yan added, "Unless Fang Ce is an NPC with full favorability." ”
"NPC Opinion is at full level?"
Concubine Ning thought about it, and her NPC favorability had been barely maintained above the passing grade, and she couldn't understand what the NPC favorability level had to do.
"My NPC opinion is 91, but with the queen and Yan Gonggong, my NPC opinion is at full level. Therefore, the queen is not only close to me, but also thinks about me everywhere, so that the matter of cleaning up the harem some time ago will be so smooth, and Gonggong Yan bears the hatred value of most of the NPCs, so my overall favorability has not decreased. ”
"You mean, General Geng's favorability for Fang Ce is also at the full level? It doesn't make sense, before we entered the game, Fang Ce was obviously designed by you and Mrs. Wang to go to Mobei, where did he have time to brush General Geng's favorability? ”
"Therefore, it can only be a worse situation, Fang Ce passed the battle of Mobei, not only did not the NPC favorability not be greatly reduced as I and Lao Wang expected, but because of the exodus invasion, it was greatly sought after by the people of Mobei, and the NPC favorability directly reached the full level, not the full level for a certain person!"
Concubine Ning smacked her tongue secretly, she never thought that NPC favorability was so important, although she has always been polite to NPCs, but the eldest lady has been tempered for many years, and it is impossible to avoid it everywhere, there are always times when she doesn't know whether she feels guilty.
Fortunately, she has been buying mall items to reduce the negative impact of the decline in NPC favorability, otherwise I'm afraid that NPCs will make her die and come back to life.
Concubine Ning immediately clicked on the mall and continued to buy props in front of Wei Yan.
"No, this item can only reduce the negative impact, and it can't make your NPC favorability higher, so it's meaningless."
Concubine Ning's hand paused, she thought of something, and suddenly raised her head and asked, "So you want to push me out as a scapegoat?" Also, it's better to do less damage than exposing the pearls. ”
Wei Yan shook his head and sighed, "Who are you treating me for?" In my lifetime, I would never trade my own people for a brief victory. Not to mention that Geng Chongrong's death has nothing to do with you, even if you expose what the pearl did, there is no big problem, if you use it well, maybe there will be unexpected effects. ”
Concubine Ning didn't listen to the second half of Wei Yan's words at all, and all her thoughts stayed on his sentence "never".
Perhaps, Wei Yan didn't have no feelings for her, but because of the two families, he rejected her like this?
Otherwise, she will be pushed directly to blame, and everything will be solved. It can not only prevent the pearl from being exposed, but also completely get rid of the self that pesters him every day.
Perhaps, An Ruo is right, Wei Yan will only turn away such an excellent self because he can't do it.
Concubine Ning touched the box in her sleeve, her eyes became more determined, and she said: "It's not early, and the emperor's birthday banquet today didn't have good food, why don't you come to the concubine's Yanxi Palace and eat together?" ”
Concubine Ning's fermented color switched too quickly, Wei Yan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled: "You and I don't have to pretend like this, I still have to go to Kunning Palace to see the queen, if you have nothing to do, you might as well take inventory of the ornaments in Yanxi Palace, and try to see if anyone has access to your earrings, I'm afraid that the last time the harem was not cleaned up thoroughly, which made so many mistakes in Yanxi Palace." ”
Concubine Ning was a little disappointed, but she didn't continue to entangle, and immediately retired, planning to come back tomorrow.
The queen is popular today, even if it is for the queen's full-level NPC favorability, Wei Yan must go, not to mention that the queen still has NPC babies assigned by the system in her belly.
If you see it, you will accept it, and tomorrow you can just leave Wei Yan rightfully.
Wei Yan felt that Concubine Ning's state was a little strange, but there were really a lot of things going on today, and Concubine Ning might be in a hurry to clean up Yanxi Palace, so she didn't entangle as usual, but it was better than continuing to entangle here.
In fact, Wei Yan sometimes hopes that Concubine Ning will quit the game, and if some feelings can't be responded, at least they will clearly refuse, leaving no hope for the other party.
