Entering the Ruyi Palace, the queen sat on the throne, and the Ruyi concubine sat with her. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info The queen asked Yu Linglong and Feng Shanyue to sit again.
"What did the Phoenix Witch see just now?" asked the queen eagerly as soon as she sat down.
Feng Shanyue nodded, "Tell the queen that the maiden did find something on the lord of the country. ”
"What's that?"
"In the meridians of the lord of the country, there seems to be something swimming, and it is almost close to the heart vein. It's just that I'm not sure what it is. ”
Yu Linglong looked at Feng Shanyue's eyes with some surprise, she didn't know how Feng Shanyue saw it, because she had also looked carefully just now and found nothing.
"Master Jade, what have you discovered?"
"Tell the queen that Linglong didn't find anything. "But Sugizuki is a very sharp child, and she is also very talented in witchcraft, and it is possible that she has really discovered something that I didn't notice." ”
"Oh?" the queen looked at Feng Shanyue approvingly, "I didn't expect Feng Wuwu's witchcraft to be so strong, it's really a famous teacher and a high apprentice!"
Yu Linglong and Feng Shanyue stood up, saluted and thanked the queen together, and then sat down again.
"Master Jade, Phoenix Witch Maiden, what exactly is the thing that swims in the body of the Lord of the Kingdom?"
Concubine Ruyi's face was frightened, "Shanyue said that this thing is swimming to the heart of the lord, does that mean that when it enters the heart, the lord of the country will ......" She covered her mouth, not daring to think about what would happen later.
The queen also frowned, "Two witches, is there a solution?"
"We have to figure out what it is before we can solve it!"
"Is that a monster?" said Yu Linglong, "Haven't there been a lot of monster incidents in the city recently?"
Feng Shanyue neither nodded nor shook her head, if it was a monster, there must be a demonic aura, but she didn't feel the demonic aura at all just now. What is it exactly?
Everyone was pondering, and suddenly there was an exclamation from the nurse in the inner room, and the eldest concubine Ruyi reacted the fastest, she stood up, bowed to the queen, and then walked quickly into the inner room, "What's wrong?"
I saw that the nurse and Jingyu were surrounding the little prince's bassinet, looking anxious, and when they saw the concubine Ruyi coming in, the two quickly knelt down and said, "Yu Niangniang, the little prince's face has a red envelope, I don't know if he was bitten by something." ”
"What?" Concubine Ruyi immediately rushed over, looked at the red envelope carefully, and then said with an angry face: "What do you think of the child, a nurse? Didn't I tell you to take a good look at the little prince and never leave an inch?"
The nurse lay on the ground and kept kowtowing, "Niangniang forgives! Niangniang forgives! I have never left the little prince, I really don't know how the little prince was bitten." ”
At this time, the queen also came, "What's the matter?"
With tears in her eyes, Concubine Ruyi hugged the little prince, "Queen Niangniang, the little prince didn't know what he was bitten by, and he had a red envelope." ”
After taking a closer look, the queen smiled and said, "It's okay. The little prince has just been born, and his skin and flesh are delicate, which is just a bite from a small flying insect, and there is no big problem. She turned her head and ordered: "Xie Yun, you go back to the palace immediately, let the net bottle find out the lark ointment for you, bring it over and let the little prince wipe it, and it will be fine!"
Concubine Ruyi immediately knelt down, kowtowed, and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother!"
The queen hurriedly helped her up, "Oh, my own sister, you don't need so much courtesy! You, you just gave birth to a child, and your mind is full of children, and you have no experience, so you are scared! Don't worry, the little prince will be fine." ”
Concubine Ruyi handed over the child to the nurse, asked her to take care of it, and accompanied the queen back to the main hall, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, the queen is here today, otherwise I would be scared to death!"
The queen smiled: "Don't be so trembling when raising children, otherwise the children will be squeamish by you!"
"Yes!"
Everyone still sat down, but Feng Shanyue thought of a piece of information she had read from what happened just now, and her eyes lit up, "Queen Niangniang, I know what that thing in the body of the lord of the country is!"
"What is it?" the other three hurriedly asked.
"It's poison. ”
"Gu poison?" None of the three had ever heard of such a thing, and the queen thought for a moment, "You mean the lord of the country has been poisoned?"
"It can be said that this poison is different from ordinary poisons, it is alive, it is a kind of insect poison. ”
"Is it a living insect venom, so it can swim in its body?" asked Master Jade curiously.
Feng Shanyue nodded, "Actually, this is a secret technique, and I guess Master hasn't heard of it either." Because this is the poison used by the barbarians in remote places. They put some poisonous insects in the box and let them bite each other, and all that was left was the Gu King. Kill this Gu King again, dry and grind the powder, and seal it together with other poisons. Then on the seventh day of each month, it was sacrificed with blood, and after three years, it became a Gu poison. ”
"This person who raises Gu is the Gu Master. As long as he makes people eat a little bit of Gu poison, the Gu poison enters the human body, and it will come back to life and become a poisonous insect. Gu Zhu can control Gu poison and make him swim or stand still in the person's meridians. Different Gu poisons will have different reactions, but the final result is the same, the Gu worm enters the heart vein, and the person dies. ”
When the three queens heard this, they were all shocked, "There is such a terrible poison!"
"Just now I was about to take a closer look at what kind of poison it was, but I was blocked by the high priest, so I'm sure he is the one who poisoned him. ”
The queen frowned, "Why did the high priest do this?"
Concubine Ruyi said: "Linglong said that my uncle speculated that he was in collusion with King Yiyang and wanted to usurp the throne. ”
The queen shook her head, "It stands to reason that no, because apart from the lord of the country, the high priest is the most powerful person in this country." Even if he helped King Yiyang ascend to the throne of the lord of the country, all King Yiyang could give him was the position of the high priest. Why should he do more of these things?"
Concubine Ruyi nodded, Feng Shanyue thought of the eyes of the high priest looking at her just now, it was not looking at the eyes of a stranger who met for the first time, but like seeing an acquaintance. She suddenly had an idea in her head, could it be that this high priest was fake, but she didn't bring it up to her face, after all, there was no evidence.
"Although we have discovered the Gu poison, we can't act rashly," the queen stood up and said, "King Yiyang is now waiting for an opportunity to move, if the matter of the lord of the country being poisoned is announced, it may cause unnecessary panic." It's better to ask Master Yu to go back and report this matter to Yu Shuai, and ask Yu Shuai to discuss with the ministers how to deal with it. ”
Yu Linglong nodded, stood up and said goodbye to the queen and the Ruyi concubine, and Feng Shanyue also saluted and left the Ruyi Palace.
After the queen returned, Xie Yun sent the lark ointment. Concubine Ruyi smiled and asked Jingyu to take the medicine bottle, thanked the queen, and sent Xie Yun back.
Jingyu held the medicine bottle and asked, "Niangniang, ...... this ointment?"
Concubine Ruyi glanced at the medicine bottle and showed a smile like a flower, "The precious ointment rewarded by the queen mother is naturally to be enshrined high, you change the ointment to a bottle, and use this bottle to fill the flower ointment with a hundred flowers to wipe the face of the little prince!"
"Yes!"
