Chapter 164: The Emperor's Concubine
As for the crazy girl who shouted that she wanted to be his princess, lock it up first, and when Xi'er was free, she would dispose of it.
Although he was a little curious about Qingyu, he was more bored, and he could feel that she was a very scheming person who would do anything to achieve her goals, so such a person could not be left by his side, and he would solve her after finding out where she came from and how he knew what was going on in the palace.
He arranged for a large number of people to purchase all the medicinal materials in Kyoto.
At this time, the emperor also learned that Bai Yuxi had made a medicine that could cure the plague, and there was no smile on his face, but Gonggong Song, who was serving beside him, obviously felt that he was in a much better mood.
Just after the emperor asked the two imperial doctors to go down, Ning Guifei came over with the porridge she had cooked by herself, nominally missing the emperor and caring about the emperor's body, but in fact it was to find out the news.
When Ning Guifei came in, she saw that there was no joy on the emperor's face, could it be that the news she got was unsatisfactory?
She held the skirt in one hand, walked in front of the emperor, and whispered softly: "The concubine has seen the emperor, and recently the concubine saw the emperor's hard work, and recently made five grain porridge with her own hands, although it is not a big tonic, but it is good for the body to drink." ”
The maid beside her was holding a square tray made of condensed jade, and a fine jade bowl as white as snow was placed on the tray, and the maid sent the tray in her hand forward when her words fell, just to the hand of Ning Guifei.
The emperor looked at the delicate and moving concubine in front of him, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Concubine Ai has a heart, come up." ”
He stretched out his hand to Concubine Ning, who was holding the porridge, and asked her to come into his arms.
Concubine Ning Guifei understood, chuckled, and said half-shyly: "This is the place where Your Majesty deals with political affairs, and the concubines don't dare to be presumptuous." She said this, but moved towards the Emperor's side.
"I forgive my concubine for her innocence. The Emperor laughed.
When Ning Guifei approached, he put one hand around Ning Guifei's waist, hugged the person in his arms with one turn, and stabilized the jade bowl in Ning Guifei's hand with the other hand, and the porridge in it was not spilled.
Ning Guifei sat on the emperor's lap, hooked his neck with one hand, and smiled on her face, like a hibiscus blooming, beautiful and moving, her eyes were rippling, "Your Majesty, there was a happy event just now? The concubine seemed to hear the emperor's heartbeat very happily." ”
"I will be happy when I see my concubine, so what more joy do I need. He took a sip of the porridge in the bowl, and then lowered his head and pressed it towards Ning Guifei's lips.
"The Emperor...... Hmm..."Unexpectedly, once it happens, she will not be able to control her voice and look, and a trace of panic flashed in the depths of Ning Guifei's eyes.
After a while, the emperor raised his head and said with a smile: "How does the porridge cooked by Concubine Ai taste by herself?"
Ning Guifei said with a delicate smile on her face: "The emperor has to use this method to feed the concubines, but it makes the concubines so shy." ”
Her smile is still there, but if you look closely, you can see that her smile is a little forced.
"Shy?" the emperor hugged her tighter, and the strength in his hands was much stronger, "The concubine is about to be forty, how can she be as shy as the little girl in the boudoir." ”
"Your Majesty, it hurts—" She wrinkled her eyebrows, looking pitiful.
"If I don't know the details of Concubine Ai, and suddenly look at this face, I probably wouldn't have imagined that Concubine Ai is almost forty, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a face that has just reached twenty, and it is difficult for the years to be so eccentric. He didn't hear the cry of pain from the person in his arms, and reached out and rubbed it against her face.
The panic in Ning Guifei's eyes suddenly appeared, and she shouted in a low voice: "Your Majesty." ”
"Concubine Ai is so beautiful, I was fascinated for a while. The Emperor loosened the strength of his hand and kissed her on the cheek as he spoke. "Tonight, Concubine Ai is waiting for me in the dormitory. ”
When Concubine Ning heard this, she immediately buried her head in his chest: "The concubine must carry a lamp to greet the holy driver at the gate of the palace." ”
She was worried in her heart, the emperor's actions just now were still what he said, could it be that she already knew what she was doing.
Originally, she wanted to find out about the plague, but now not only did she not ask anything, but she seemed to have revealed her flaws in front of the emperor, whether he knew it or not, she had to speed up her actions.
Shangguan Kongyue originally wanted to handle everything properly, so he went to the northern suburbs to find Xi'er, but this matter changed too quickly, and the plan always couldn't catch up with things that changed at any time.
As soon as he ordered people to buy medicinal herbs, he got the news that all the powerful and rich people in Kyoto did the same, and began to frantically sweep every pharmacy in Kyoto, they didn't know what medicinal herbs they needed to buy, so they bought all the medicines in the store without shortage of gold and silver, and some even bought all the pharmacies.
Although his people took the lead, they still couldn't resist the large number of those people, and in just half an hour, all the large and small pharmacies in Kyoto were empty, and those who arrived at the back also knew what they needed the most, so they mainly bought which kinds of medicinal materials.
Shangguan Kongyue received the news from his subordinates in the carriage, and sneered in his heart, it was either the Guogong Mansion or the Hou Ye who bought the medicinal materials, and the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee had the same example, and Ning Guifei's family bought the most.
They are all people who can't be offended easily, and I'm afraid that it won't help to go to these people's houses with a holy decree, unless my father and the emperor make another decree to let those people call out the medicinal herbs, but this is impossible.
He decided to kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys, and let those people obediently hand over the medicinal materials, since they want to solve it at once, then pick out a thorny chicken to slaughter, and the rest will always be obedient.
has been pretending to be sick for many years, and some are secret forces, but they have no military power and power on the surface, but from today onwards, you might as well let people see his hidden strength, so as not to be looked down upon by others.
The frame of the Yinwang Mansion slowly headed towards the Xue Mansion.
Xue Mansion is Ning Guifei's maiden family, Ning Guifei has a brother, who was named the uncle of the country, and has the idle position of a general of the Sanpin Loose Cavalry, and only receives a good position where Yu Lu does not have to do things.
Now Uncle Xue's sister is boundless and extremely wealthy, although Uncle Xue has no talent or ability, he has a sense of arrogance and often acts arrogantly. But it's not the kind of fool who will do bastard things, he can only say that he doesn't make big mistakes, and he is a rich idler with occasional small mistakes.
When King Yin's carriage arrived at the gate of Xue's mansion, the subordinates of Xue's mansion did not make much movement, as if they had not seen it, and none of them entered the mansion to report.
A cold voice came from inside the carriage: "What should the low-ranking people do when they see that the king does not kneel?"
"If you go back to the prince, you should be punished with death. The black moon beside the carriage had a sharp voice, the sword in his hand was half unsheathed, and the cold light flowed, and he walked up the stairs towards the gatekeeper.
The subordinate guarding the door heard what he said just now, and now he was so frightened that he immediately begged for mercy, "The prince spares his life, the little one didn't recognize it as King Yin's frame just now." ”
