Chapter 38: Poison of Love
Looking at the wind photos that left step by step, the anger in Concubine Min's eyes gathered little by little, although she was not Jiang Li's queen, but in Jiang Li's **, she was the unyielding master, even Jiang Li's monarch Rong Yuan also had to give her some face, because her father was Jiang Li's famous third-generation prime minister and held heavy power.
The day before yesterday, she heard that the king of Ningjun of Yanlong was coming to Jiangli to celebrate the New Year, so she began to think about how to clean up this king of Ningjun of Yanlong, who didn't know what to do, in order to repay him for dismissing Jiang Li's proposal. The seventh princess is the only daughter of her and Rong Yuan, she has been well-behaved and filial since she was a child, as a mother, she always wants her daughter to live a happy life, she does not expect the seventh princess to marry the prince of Yanlong, I heard my father and brother say that the king of Ningjun of Yanlong is not inferior to His Royal Highness the prince of Yanlong in terms of temperament and talent, so she is good to say that Rong Yuan promised to send someone to Yanlong to propose, but unexpectedly the answer given by Yanlong is that the king of Ningjun is not disciplined and has privately made a marriage contract. She is jealous, narrow-minded, and vicious, and hates private marriage the most. Hearing such a reply, she couldn't wait to go to Yanlong to teach this King of Ningjun a lesson. Unexpectedly, he sent it to the door himself.
Today, he received a message from the crown prince Rong Jianghai, saying that he would invite Chang Yuening to the prince's mansion to eat and drink after the dispersal of the dynasty, so she took the seventh princess to Rong Jianghai's mansion, and the reason why she pulled the seventh princess was that she was confident that there was no one in the world who could compare to her daughter, and she wanted to make Chang Yuening, who was above the top, look at the appearance of the seventh princess and regret her madness. Unexpectedly, this Chang Yuening was so arrogant and uninhibited, not only did she not take her seriously, but even her proud daughter never looked at her.
She had to teach him a good lesson and make him pay the price for his actions. His fists were clenched, and his nails were deeply embedded in the flesh, but he didn't know the pain.
When Rong Yuan proposed the intention of severing diplomatic relations with Jiguo in the court, Jiang Li's courtiers were shocked, especially those corrupt princes and ministers mainly who were the prime ministers, and they were unwilling to change, and unanimously resisted Rong Yuan's construction, causing Fengzhao's Tiyì to be temporarily stranded.
Prince Rong Jianghai euphemistically told sΓΉ Fengzhao that all the focus is only on one person, that is, the old-fashioned prime minister, Jiang Li's prime minister, that is, Concubine Min's father Hou Mingrui, is Jiang Li's three generations of old ministers, and his sons also hold heavy power, and their relationship network is intertwined and deep. Three generations of Jiang Li monarchs fought with him, and in the end they were all compromises. If you want to break off diplomatic relations with the Ji Kingdom, you must get the consent of the Prime Minister, in fact, the cunning Prime Minister is also willing to break off diplomatic relations with the Ji Kingdom and belong to the Great Dragon Dynasty, but because of Concubine Min, he had to give Chang Yuening a dismissal.
Hearing this, Feng Zhao couldn't help but smile lightly and said lightly: "A small prime minister can control Jiang Li's government, how far can Jiang Li go in the future?"
Rong Jianghai persuaded Feng Zhao to beg Concubine Min, Feng Zhao shook his head and said: "A woman interferes in the government so much, I go to beg him, and the loss is not Yanlong's face but your Jiang Li's face." When this sentence reached Rong Yuan's ears, he couldn't help but sigh: "Yanlong has such a figure, and the country's strength is just around the corner." β
In the end, this sentence also reached the ears of Concubine Min and his father, and Hou Mingrui said to Concubine Min: "Because of this sentence, Min'er, you must be charged with interfering in the government and even cholera government, and I will also keep up with you by the people and civil and military officials." If you don't sever diplomatic relations with the country of Ji this time, there will be any changes in the country of Japan, and the prestige of my three generations of prime ministers will definitely be ruined by you. With that, he threw up his sleeves and left.
Concubine Min, who was building flower branches, looked at the back of her father who threw her sleeves away, and slammed a pot of good flowers to the ground and kept cursing Fengzhao in her mouth. The well-behaved Seventh Princess next to her hurriedly stood up and came to her and persuaded her lightly: "Mother, don't be angry, I think that King Ningjun of Yanlong is just an arrogant person, and it is a blessing for her daughter not to marry him, and I hope that you won't hurt your body because of this, and I hope that you won't hurt your body because of this." As for the affairs of the court, do it according to your father's wishes, don't ruin Jiang Li's future, ruin your father's reputation, ruin your grandfather's reputation, and ruin your image in the hearts of Jiang Li's people because of an arrogant person. Hearing this, Concubine Min pulled the seventh princess over, looked at the gentle and lovely daughter in front of her, and said hatefully: "It's not that his mother makes things difficult for him, but that he hasn't given his daughter a little face, so how can you gain a foothold among sisters in the future, how can I bear this tone?"
Hearing this, the seventh princess's eyes turned slightly red, and then she smiled miserably and said: "Mother, you are too worried, I am the favorite daughter of you and my father, sisters, who dares to laugh at me, and even if I am humiliated, I am to blame." Seeing her daughter like this, the hatred in Concubine Min's heart was even stronger, and suddenly she smiled extremely hideously: "I'm going to destroy him, I must destroy that proud Changyue Ning and make him a disgrace to Yanlong." β
The seventh princess on the side of "Mother Concubine" couldn't help but have a worried look on her face.
On this day, Fengzhao was reading a book in the post house, and the guards came to tell him that a woman asked to see her, and Fengzhao was slightly flustered, and then motioned for people to come in.
A woman with a veil and a crescent-colored dress entered the door, and after entering the door, the woman gave Feng Zhao a salute, and took out a letter from her sleeve cage and handed it to Feng Zhao, Feng Zhao's deep eyes glanced at the woman and then took the letter, and her slender fingers picked up the letter. A line of juan handwriting came into view: "He Rimin Concubine Niangniang invited His Royal Highness the King of Ningjun to a banquet, please be careful with His Royal Highness the King of the County." β
After reading the wind photos, he asked the woman lightly: "I don't know who the girl is, why did she report to me?"
The woman said softly: "I am the handmaid of the Seventh Princess, the letter was sent by the Seventh Princess, the princess asked me to tell His Royal Highness the King of the County, the fact of proposing marriage is the order of her parents, she has no intention of pestering His Royal Highness the King of the County, and she can't bear to see His Royal Highness the King of the County being hurt by this, so she reminds His Royal Highness the King of the County to be careful, and asks His Royal Highness the King of the County to forgive Concubine Min." With that, she turned away.
Looking at the back of the handmaiden, Feng Zhao's brows wrinkled slightly, and then he put the letter in the palms of his hands and rubbed it gently, and then stretched his palms, but it was already powder.
Two days later, someone from the palace said that it was Concubine Min Niangniang who invited His Royal Highness the King of Yanlongning County, and Feng Zhao got into the carriage with an expressionless face and went all the way to Jiang Li's palace. In the car, his good-looking face showed a hint of ridicule. He was eager to see what the woman would do against him.
Entering the palace, a maid led the way left and right, and came to a palace full of flowers and prosperity. The palace is not very majestic, but it is also a luxurious luxury with elaborate carvings and decorations. There was a palace maid who reported, and then she saw Rong Jianghai appear at the door of the hall in a blue brocade robe, and when she saw Feng Zhao, she smiled and said, "Just wait for the king of the county to come." After that, he stretched out his hand to pull Fengzhao enthusiastically, and Fengzhao silently avoided his outstretched hand and made a gesture of invitation: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is polite." The two of them slowly walked into the main hall, at this time the hall was dancing and musical, and there were many young talents sitting on both sides, all of them were Jiang Li's princes and nobles, young masters, and many princesses and young ladies who were gorgeously dressed and splendid. On the main seat above the main hall sat the graceful and gorgeous Concubine Min with a spring breeze. Seeing the wind shine into the palace door, a happy face, when the wind shines into the hall of laughter, all the people stopped the noise, those young ladies and princesses secretly admired the handsome temperament of the wind and light. And Fengzhao is still the cold and calm appearance of the past, he slowly walked in the center of the main hall, slightly hugged his fists and ran with wide sleeves to the high Concubine Min Niangniang and said: "Changyue Ning meets the princess Niangniang." Looking at the wind photos of His Royal Highness standing, Concubine Min secretly gritted her teeth, but there was a smile on her face: "King Ningjun can come to the banquet, it really makes the entire Min Rong Hall shine." β
The crown prince Rong Jianghai on the side pulled Fengzhao and sat next to him, and then turned his head to see the seventh princess sitting opposite him. Today's Seventh Princess was wearing a pale pink brocade dress embroidered with lotus patterns, thinking that she had sent someone to deliver a letter the day before yesterday, Fengzhao glanced at the Seventh Princess more, and her deep eyes swept over her quiet and soft face like stars in the distant sky. At this time, the seventh princess also watched the wind from afar, with a little worry in her eyes.
Concubine Min, who was sitting in the main hall, looked at the wind and sat down, and said with a smile on her face: "I heard that the king of Ningjun in Yanlong is the dragon and phoenix among the people, this time I came to Jiangli to congratulate, the princes and nobles in the court and the princes and princesses in the palace are all interested in getting acquainted. β
Everyone claimed that Concubine Xie Min was the mother, but Fengzhao's face was still as pale as water, and they did not react because of this.
Concubine Min signaled for the banquet to begin, and for a while the drums sang and danced in unison. Prince Rong Jianghai picked up a glass of wine and raised it to Feng Zhao and drank it in one gulp, Feng Zhao also politely took a glass of wine and saluted Rong Jianghai, then brought the wine to his lips, inhaled lightly, the wine was fragrant, and there was no peculiar smell, he took a sip elegantly, and then put the wine cup down lightly. At this moment, the eyes of all the young ladies and princesses on the other side were staring at him with envy, but he was blind to it.
Immediately afterwards, a few young boys came to toast Feng Zhao, and Feng Zhao politely replied one by one.
After half the wine, Concubine Min Niangniang on the main hall moved her skirt lightly and slowly walked down the main seat, walked slightly in the center of the main hall, and came to the front of Feng Zhao and chuckled: "I heard that the king of Ningjun married privately, I don't know if the woman I like is the young lady of the prince and noble family of Yanlong?" Hearing this, the lively hall suddenly fell into silence, and the cold eyes of the wind swept the face of the allergic concubine Niangniang, which revealed the shrewd power, and said coldly: "What Niangniang said is the private matter of this king, and this king has nothing to say." β
Concubine Min's face changed, thinking that she was about to have a seizure, but she held back, she took two steps forward and missed the wind and light, then turned around and looked at the other people in the hall and said, "Presumably that woman is not a lady." How can the daughter of the royal family, the daughter of a clan, or the daughter of an important minister of the court do anything to marry someone privately?"
Feng Zhao's pair of sword eyebrows suddenly twisted together, his cold eyes narrowed slightly, and his whole body exuded a cold aura. At this time, the prince on the side saw that the situation was not good, and immediately stood up and said, "Niangniang, son, you have a toast." β
At this time, the seventh princess on the opposite side also came to Concubine Min and whispered: "Mother, you are tired, I will help you go back to rest." β
Concubine Min looked at the gentle and well-behaved Seventh Princess, smiled lightly and said, "That's it, the mother concubine is a little tired." Then she turned her face to look at the wind sitting on the side and said softly, "Doesn't King Ningjun respect his concubine for a glass of wine?" β
Fengzhao's eyes swept lightly over the seventh princess on the side, a trace of hesitation flashed in her eyes, then she looked at the wine jug and thought slightly, and then slowly picked up a glass of wine on the table and stood up, with a faint cold air in her eyes: "This king should give a glass to Niangniang, in order to thank Niangniang for her hospitality to this king." After that, he picked up the wine and drank it slowly, and at the moment when the wine was in the mouth, he saw Concubine Min's fingers holding the wine glass flick slightly, and a wisp of strange fragrance rushed into his nose. At this time, I heard Concubine Min smirk: "Everyone drink well." After that, a pair of pretty eyes were full of ruthlessness and schadenfreude. Turn away.
Feng Zhao immediately closed his snort, and worked hard to seal the speed of blood flow. Even so, he already felt a faint impatience in the breath in his body. "It's so poisonous," he said to himself. watched Concubine Min leave step by step. Then he turned to the crown prince Rong Jianghai on the side and said, "His Royal Highness the prince drink slowly, this king has to retire in advance." Rong Jianghai wanted to stop him, but he threw his sleeves away.
Suppressing the mania in his body, he hurried out of the palace, and his carriage was still outside the palace, and it was Liao Yunze, the new coachman in the county king's mansion, who was also a dead soldier. Looking at the sweaty Feng Zhao, Liao Yunze hurriedly asked, "Young Master, you" Before he could say anything, he was stopped by Feng Zhao's outstretched hand.
"Quick, go back to the post house" The wind flashed and the man had already entered the car.
The wind in the car tried to force the poison out, but to no avail. And as the movement increases the speed of blood flow, the rage in the body also runs rapidly, he is busy suppressing his breath and slowing down the flow of blood, Ren is like this, he feels more and more furious, the more he wants to suppress it, the more he can't suppress it, the temperature of his body rises rapidly, and he wants to find a breakthrough point. With what was left of his will, he persevered, his fingers digging deep into the wooden frame of the window.
The breath became heavier and heavier, his eyes became more and more misty, and Liao Yunze outside the car could hear his heavy breath, the whip was waving, and the carriage was galloping.
In a trance, he heard a neighing of a horse, and then the carriage braked sharply. He struggled hard to get out of the car, but as soon as he moved, it seemed as if there was a fire about to erupt, and at this moment, he heard Liao Yunze's anxious and surprised voice: "His Royal Highness the Prince, little master." Then he heard a crisp inquiry, "What's wrong with Xiaofeng?" and he didn't know anything.
When Fengzhao opened his eyes again, he saw a familiar and beautiful face in front of him, and a pair of beautiful eyes looked at him with concern and distress.
He wanted to laugh, but it hurt badly. Looking at him who woke up, Yaoling breathed a long sigh of relief.
Stretched out a pair of slender jade hands, gently helped him up, took the wet handkerchief next to him and wiped the sweat off his face, he saw a deep moonlight standing in the middle of the ground, looking at him with a pair of puzzled and thoughtful eyes, he smiled weakly.
Then he took his gaze back and looked at Yaoling. Yaoling carefully wiped the sweat on her face and neck for Fengzhao. While rubbing, he asked, "Are you better?"
Feng Zhao pulled Yao Ling's hand and wanted to say something, but found that Yao Ling had several deep scratches on his wrist, he looked at Yao Ling with some surprise and wanted to ask, but was covered by Yao Ling and said softly: "When I went out to play in Xiwu, I met two little thieves fighting and accidentally scratched them." β
Feng Zhao looked at Yue Ming on the side with a questioning look, Yue Ming nodded, Feng Zhao was a little annoyed: "How did you take care of her?" Yue Ming looked innocent, and then said: "She wants to fight, how can I stop her." Feng Zhao glared at Yueming fiercely.
At this moment, I heard the guards at the door: "Tell His Royal Highness the Prince, someone has asked to see the prince of the county." β
"Let him in," Yue Ming said lightly
The door opened and a veiled woman entered. Looking at the wind photos, I recognized that it was Jiang Li's seventh princess. The seventh princess, who had lifted her veil and had a delicate and demure face, looked anxious and uneasy, and couldn't help but be stunned when she saw Yaoling and Yueming in the house. Feng Zhao looked deeply at the eyes of the seventh princess, and asked in a deep voice, "The seventh princess is here to see how I am poisoned?"
Hearing Feng Zhao ask like this, the seventh princess showed a trace of grievance, she glanced at Yao Ling and Yue Ming, Feng Zhao knew what she meant, so she motioned for Yao Ling and Yue Ming to go out, Yao Ling muttered something, but was still pulled out by Yue Ming. After watching the two go out, the seventh princess hurriedly saluted Feng Zhao and said: "I came to send an antidote to His Royal Highness the King of the County, I'm sorry, I didn't know that the mother concubine poisoned you, I originally thought that she would poison the wine and food, but unexpectedly she hid the poison in her nails." β
Hearing her say this, Fengzhao's eyes flashed with some light. "She hid the poison in her nails, why didn't you get poisoned when you were there?"
Hearing him ask this, the seventh princess said lightly: "That's a kind of" She paused, her face flushed a little, and after a while, she tried to recover her feelings, and said softly: "It is a very powerful love poison, only when it is matched with wine will it stimulate the medicinal properties, the more wine you drink, the faster the medicinal properties will volatilize." I've never drunk alcohol, so it's okay to smell too much. β
Love poison, Feng Zhao was stunned in his heart, pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked in a deep voice: "What are the symptoms of this poison?"
Just when the seventh princess was struggling and didn't know what to say, Yao Ling suddenly walked in through the door.
"You can go, I've cured Xiaofeng's poison. Yaoling said angrily.
The seventh princess looked at the girl who came in and wanted to say something, her mouth opened slightly, and she turned around to go out.
"Slow" Fengzhao's tone behind him was slightly cold, and the seventh princess stopped but did not turn around.
"You haven't answered my question yet," Feng Zhao asked coldly, somewhat depressed. "Xiaofeng" Yaoling was a little anxious and wanted to stop her, but Fengzhao didn't give her a chance to speak at all.
"Say" is stern and revealing an indisputable domineering
The seventh princess was slightly stunned, her face turned even redder, and she whispered in a voice with some crying: "After listening to the mother concubine said that she was poisoned, she looked like **, and she didn't know anything about what she did after she woke up." With that, he threw up his sleeves and ran out.
After the seventh princess left, the room fell silent for a while, and after a while, Yao Ling came to the table and handed a glass of water, and Feng Zhao looked at his deep eyes and said: "I came with the Moon Prince in time, and your poison has not had time to attack, I will" Before he finished speaking, he saw Feng Zhao's mouth move slightly, and then Yueming walked in slowly.
Yaoling looked at Yueming who came in, and Yueming also looked at Yaoling and motioned for her to go out with her eyes, Yaoling somehow, a layer of tears appeared in her eyes. With her head down, she turned and ran out.
Looking at Feng Zhao's depressed face, Yue Ming said lightly: "If there is anything you can't figure out, just ask" It turned out that Feng Zhao called Yue Ming in with a sound transmission.
Looking at the eternally cold face in front of him, Feng Zhao said in a low voice: "I want to know what I did after being poisoned?"
It turned out that the three countries in the south of the Yangtze River belonged to the land of Xiwu with the smallest population, so Xiwu has always been dominated by Yanlong, so when Yaoling and Yueming handed over Yanlong Changruojin's credentials to the monarch of Xiwu in Xiwu, Xiwu agreed to break off diplomatic relations with Jiguo without any objection and obeyed Yanlong's arrangement. So the two of them rushed to Jiang Li without making any stops in Xiwu, and they never thought that as soon as they got off the carriage, they saw the carriage coming like a gust of wind.
Looking at the nervous face of Liao Yunze, who was driving the car, Yaoling and Yueming had a premonition that something might have happened to Fengzhao. Stopping the car, Liao Yunze saw that Yueming and Yaoling's nervous relationship was immediately relieved. As soon as they shouted, "His Royal Highness the Prince, little master," the two of them heard a bang in the car.
Yaoling got into the car with a leap, but when she got into the car, she found that Fengzhao's eyes were red and her long hair was messy, and she was tearing the clothes on her body, and when she saw Yaoling coming in, her red eyes showed a wicked smile. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he grabbed Yaoling who had entered the car in his arms, and at the same time his whole face pounced on Yaoling's face, Yaoling hurriedly snorted softly, wanting to avoid the past, but at this time, Fengzhao used all his strength, no matter how Yaoling struggled, he couldn't break free from his embrace. At this moment, a flute sound was graceful, cool and cool like water droplets, Fengzhao was stunned, Yaoling broke free from his chest, and when Fengzhao was about to catch it again, a white jade flute suddenly hit his sleeping hole, Fengzhao wanted to grab Yaoling's hand and paused to go down.
Looking at the fallen Feng Zhao, Yao Ling hurriedly reached out and grabbed the pulse wrist of his left hand. After a moment, he took out a bell from his arms, pinched it, and stuffed the pill inside into Fengzhao's mouth. Liao Yunze was ordered to carry Fengzhao into the guest room, and after more than half an hour, Yaoling said to Yueming: "You can unlock Xiaofeng's sleeping hole." β
The rest of the story is what happened after the wind woke up. After hearing this, there was a raging fire in Fengzhao's eyes. The hand was clenched tightly into a fist: "This slut, I will definitely not let her go." β
