221 Defending and Attacking
Chapter 221: Defending and Attacking
The dark green medicinal juice was gently rubbed on the white dry hair, and the viscous juice dripped down the ends of the hair, and was quickly pulled up by a pair of plain hands and wrapped in lotus leaves.
Qiong Qi looked at the face of the person in the mirror, his expression was solemn, "Have you figured it out?"
"Aunt Joan, I've always done what I wanted, you know. ”
Qiong Qi snorted coldly, "I always knew that you were more stubborn than me, and you were happy to be cocooned." ”
You Xue was stunned, and said lightly: "People are born with a brand, and they can't be avoided or thrown away." I have no regrets, and I have no regrets. ”
"What's the matter with the wound on your shoulder?" Qiong Qi asked coldly.
You Xue looked at her in amazement: "How do you know?"
"You think no one will know if you throw your clothes away?"
It is estimated that it is Lan Ke's gossip ghost again, You Xue did not hide it from Qiongqi, knowing the existence of danger, he can take precautions, "Zhenxi Hou found out the whereabouts of Wu Huan, I almost killed him the night before yesterday, but unfortunately he was rescued." ”
Qiong Qi was silent for a long time before saying, "You are starting to be impatient, why?"
"Aunt Qiong, there is no time, if you continue to be so passive, the king will be in danger..."
Qiong Qi's face finally changed, walked up to her, squatted down to meet her eye level, stared into her eyes and asked, "What have you been checking these days, what is going on?"
You Xue saw that Qiong Qi rarely showed such a confused expression, and smiled slightly.
It seems that when the mind is bound, there will be weakness, and no one is an exception.
But she still slowly spit out word by word: "I suspect that the turmoil that broke out in several border areas this time is just to set up the royal capital." ”
Qiong Qi's eyes were close at hand, and she could clearly see that her pupils were constricted, bursting out with murderous intent, even under the surface of the frozen snow and cold for many years, she also had a red-blooded loyal bone, regardless of her status.
"Does the one in the palace know?"
"Yes. You Xue smiled: "That's why I told you that they are fighting in the front, and we have to defend the rear." ”
"What are you going to do?"
"First of all, we must solve the crisis in the palace, I will be arranged by Aunt Jinyang in two days, as an internal servant, to protect the king's side, because this half month is also the most critical moment for his double poison to recover, Aunt Qiong, you have to enter the palace every day to administer needles to the king, so as to exchange news with me. As for the city, someone will send a message to the South Star Tower. Aunt Qiong, these things can only be known by Ziyue, you, me and Lan Ke, no one can say," she stared at Qiong Qi's eyes, her gaze was solemn: "Including Li Yan." ”
It's not that he doesn't believe Li Yan, he has too many weaknesses and is easy to be taken advantage of.
There was a knock on the door, it was Yuan Ziyue.
After she entered the room, she saw that the two of them had calm faces, and raised her eyebrows, "Manshu juice will really turn black." ”
Qiong Qi subconsciously looked at his hands, and sure enough, the dark green medicinal juice attached to his palms turned black, and the dripping on the ground also turned black.
She walked up to You Xue and smiled: "You really don't think about changing to a beautiful face, since I saw Gongyi Lingfeng, my hands are itchy, and I made one, do you want to wear it?"
You Xue's face was expressionless, "It's not just Gongyi Lingfeng, Lan Ying's face is also made vividly by you, Ziyue, it's not that I'm troublesome, I don't ask if you have any grievances with the Lan family, but it's best not to act rashly at this moment." ”
Yuan Ziyue pouted, and said awkwardly: "You don't know, I heard the hidden guards say that Qingyang used to admire that person and regarded him as a goddess, I just wanted to find an opportunity to tease him..."
After she finished speaking, she saw Qiong Qi and You Xue looking at her with a smile, her face changed slightly, and she had to hurriedly open the topic and haha: "You demon girl face, it's really difficult to make exactly the same, you know, the disguise is not only the skin, you also know that your skin is no longer elastic and is wrinkled, the innate expression can't make up for it, it is inevitable that it will be stiff and unacceptable, and people who are familiar with you will soon be able to see through this face as a mask." ”
You Xue pointed to the plants hanging by the bed, the emerald green and full leaves were fleshy, sweet and fragrant.
"Didn't you say that you can't smell my smell anymore? ”
Yuan Ziyue held Lingdian grass and stared at You Xue speechless for a long time before she said, "Demon girl... Enchantress"
Two days later, when You Xue walked into the Xia Kite Palace, she saw a dark brown palace official standing in front of the screen in the outer hall, it was Aunt Jinyang, whose real name was Xia Fangcao, who was a palace maid who served the Queen Mother, and was very dependent on the wind.
However, after You Xue was promoted because of the incident, she had reservations about the practice of being too affectionate to the old servants around the Queen Mother, a woman who can be a big female official in the harem under Lan Ying's nose, and now controls the palace single-handedly, can not only be treated as a 'loyal old servant'.
In her fifties, she was slender and dignified, her face was elegant, her thick black hair was combed into a bun and the back of her head was high, and her fair melon seed face was only obvious with fine lines at the end of her eyes.
You Xue walked five steps away from her, and was slightly blessed, "Aunt Jinyang." ”
"The king has commanded that everything from now on will be at the behest of the girl. ”
You Xue raised her eyes and looked at her for a moment, and smiled slightly: "Then there is Aunt Lao, I don't know what Aunt will do with Mingyue Palace?"
Xia Fangcao's face did not change, "After all the chamberlains and palace maids in Mingyue Palace were put in the black prison, they all committed suicide by biting their tongues, this is a dereliction of duty by slaves and maids, but according to the king's intentions, now I have to maintain the illusion that the queen is sick in Mingyue Palace, I don't know what the girl means by this?"
"My aunt misunderstood, what the maid means is that the king has issued an order, and now my aunt is in charge of all matters in the harem, and she also supervises the trivial affairs of Tongwu Garden, since she has discovered the Yilan Hall where the secret passage of Mingyue Palace leads directly to Tongwu Garden, why has my aunt not acted for a long time?"
Xia Fangcao's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, it was the evil aura of being in power and killing all year round, "Girl's words, the slave doesn't understand." ”
You Xue crossed her and walked into the inner hall step by step, the child of the remnants who survived from the underground palace was lying quietly on the bed, breathing shallowly, obviously awake, but his eyes were closed, not knowing what he was afraid of?
Her voice was shallow, and she said slowly: "When the queen was in power, my aunt was already in charge of affairs, and she knew everything about the harem, so I asked:
How much does the queen know about the forbidden arts?
There were no bones in the pool of blood in the dungeon, how could those corpses disappear out of thin air?
Where did it come from, where did it go, and how much does my aunt know?
How many palace maids with unpredictable intentions and unknown origins are there in Tongwu Garden?
How many remnants of the harem are still involved?
Auntie, Princess Beichen has repeatedly stepped into the inner courtyard of the harem to come and go freely, what do you say?
Maintaining the illusion that the queen is still in the palace has nothing to do with my aunt's inaction, right?"
She turned around and tilted her head and smiled, from the sky light shining in from the hollow carved windows on all sides, her white hair was all black and thick, and her white and beautiful face seemed to be pure and flawless, beautiful as a fairy, but her eyes were as deep as the sea.
"The king is benevolent and righteous, takes care of the old feelings, gives my aunt supreme power, and also gives my aunt the opportunity to redeem her merits, my aunt is so smart, why should she deceive herself and live up to Wang En?"
Xia Fangcao actually oozed a trace of cold sweat in her aggressive and cold gaze, and her folded hands trembled slightly uncontrollably.
She wondered, the emperor's illness was obviously terminally ill, even if Qiongqi's medical skills were peerless, even if this amazing child on the throne tried his best to calculate, it was impossible to stand in the court so quickly, the Lan family had arranged the net for so many years in such a few months, full of holes, losses and generals, it turned out that there was not only King Rui, but also because of the girl in front of him, in addition, there may be more unknown existence of the royalist party.
If she is not mistaken, this girl's appearance is very similar to that of Qi An, is it really the remnant of the You clan?
Moreover, the girl's eyebrows are very similar to the black face in her memory, is it ......
Thinking of this, she tugged at the corners of her lips slightly: "The girl's words are serious, the slave and maid were already under the queen's minions at that time, how could they know this." ”
You Xue has already probed her thoughts, and she no longer embarrass her, "It's too late to start now, my aunt should know what to do, find out the clues as soon as possible and report them to me," she smiled and grabbed Xia Fangcao's slightly trembling fingertips, and said softly: "Everything is for the king's holy body and well-being." ”
The moment the two hands touched, Xia Fangcao only felt that the cold and silky terrifying power spread from her fingertips to her whole body, as long as she moved slightly, she would be pulled by this power and hurt the meridians of her whole body, and her face suddenly turned pale and her feet softened.
You Xue held her elbow to stabilize her figure, her eyes were smiling but cold as a knife: "That folk girl is waiting for news from my aunt." ”
"It's... The slave and maid go at once... Examine. Xia Fangcao was already trembling, and she just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.
You Xue looked at her hurried away footsteps, her eyes showed a look of doubt, if this person is not unfathomable, he really has no martial arts at all, could it be that he guessed wrong?
However, why is Jin Yang's eyes looking at him so familiar?
