Chapter 40: Entering the palace to detoxify
Early in the morning, Jiang Li's crown prince Rong Jianghai hurriedly came to find Fengzhao, he brought a shocking news to Fengzhao, Concubine Min Niangniang had a strange disease the next day after the banquet Fengzhao, at first she didn't want to eat and fall asleep, but when she got up today, she found that her hair had fallen out, her eyebrows had fallen out, and her eyes, nose and mouth had all begun to fester. Now the royal backyard is in chaos.
Hearing this, Feng Zhao's eyebrows raised slightly, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching to the sides, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Rong Jianghai's searching gaze, he hurriedly smiled, pretended to be silent for a while, and said, "How can this be?"
"The key now is that Concubine Min insists that you have secretly done something to force your father to punish you. Rong Jianghai said with a fiery look on his face.
Feng Zhao was stunned: this woman is vicious enough, and she doesn't let go of framing him like this. Thinking of this, he made a surprised expression: "Then His Majesty the monarch can believe her words?"
Rong Jianghai stomped his feet: "My father doesn't believe it, but that woman is crying and making noise, and there is really no way to do it." ”
Feng Zhao was silent for a while, and said lightly: "Even so, it is useless for me to explain, let her make trouble, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to tell the monarch, be sure to ask him to investigate this matter, this matter is related to Yanlong's reputation." ”
At this time, he moved out of Yanlong, and Rong Jianghai knew the stakes. The three small countries in the south of the Yangtze River are dominated by Yanlong, and Jiang Li and Xiwu do not want to offend Yanlong.
At this time, Yueming stepped into the door, Rong Jianghai had never seen Yueming, so he naturally didn't know that he was the prince of Yanlong, looking at Yueming, who was dressed in white and had an outstanding demeanor, he was slightly stunned. After Yueming and Yaoling finished their affairs in Xiwu, they sent Chaohe's team back to the country first, and the two of them came over in a carriage, so Jiang Li didn't know that the prince of Yanlong had also arrived in Jiangli.
Looking at Rong Jianghai, who was slightly stunned, Feng Zhao hurriedly got up and deliberately saluted Yueming: "Yuening greets the prince and brother." And Yueming also pretended to say: "Brother Wang is exempt." Seeing the two of them like this, Rong Jianghai on the side suddenly stood up from the chair and pointed at Yueming and stammered for a long time before he said: "You are the prince of Yanlong, Chang Yueming." Yueming smiled faintly and said, "Is Prince Rong good?"
looked at Yue Mingrong Jianghai with a puzzled face. Feng Zhao smiled indifferently and said, "The crown prince and brother made a special trip to wait for the king to return to the country after forming an alliance with Xiwu. Rong Jianghai was stunned for a moment and asked, "Yanlong has already formed an alliance with Xiwu?" Yueming next to him hummed expressionlessly.
Rong Jianghai's face changed uncertainly, and after a while, he got up and said goodbye and left.
Looking at his back in a hurry, a shallow smile appeared on the corners of Fengzhao and Yueming's mouths: An alliance with Jiang Li is just around the corner.
A burst of brisk footsteps accompanied by a small tune came over, Feng Zhao couldn't stop laughing, and the more he laughed, the more he couldn't help but cover his stomach and laugh loudly, Yueming on the side looked at him, his usual light and indifferent face showed a contemptuous look, and he shook his head helplessly.
"Why are you laughing like this?" Yao Ling's startled and crisp voice sounded. She has never seen Fengzhao smile like this since she was a child. Then her clear eyes looked at Yueming on the side, and under her gaze, a smile appeared on the corner of Yueming's mouth. Looking at the two of them like this, her delicate face revealed great doubts.
"What did you do to that Concubine Min?" Feng Zhao finally stopped laughing, and Feng Zhao asked her.
Hearing Feng Zhao ask this, Yao Ling was stunned for a moment and hurriedly asked, "How do you know what I did to that?" Feng Zhao and Yue Ming looked at each other and smiled, and then said, "As soon as you went out that night, we found out and followed you all the time." ”
Yaoling was a little angry: these two people, their kung fu is too good, she didn't even notice it when they followed her.
Looking at the two pairs of bright eyes staring at her in front of her, she pouted lightly and then said proudly: "Isn't she able to spray poison, I will let her see what real poison is." ”
"What kind of poison did you give her?" asked Feng Zhao. It doesn't matter if Concubine Min dies, the important thing is that it will affect the alliance between the two countries.
Yao Ling looked at the two of them and blinked her big beautiful eyes and said, "Guess." ”
The two tacitly glanced at each other, and then Feng Zhao took a sip of tea and said, "I guess you gave her a medicine that can make her look ugly, her hair fall out, and her whole body rotten." ”
Hearing Feng Zhao say this, Yaoling's pretty face suddenly had an expression of admiration, she kept nodding her little head, and said vigorously: "How did you guess so accurately." Doesn't she want you to be discredited, I will make her the ugliest woman in the world, and let her daughter and the king of Jiang Li and everyone in the world hate her. ”
When it came to Jiang Li's king, Feng Zhao and Yue Ming suddenly looked at each other, and their eyes flashed with complicated and indescribable love, and the two of them had been following Yao Ling all the time, including her and Rong Yuan's words together, they could hear them clearly. Looking at the simple and kind Yaoling in front of them, the two were silent for a while. Then Feng Zhao gently asked Yaoling: "You went to the palace these two nights, did you see anyone?"
Looking at the wind and moon with a changed face, Yaoling knew that she couldn't deceive them, thinking that the two of them must be worried that they were in danger, so they would follow behind, so she told the truth: "Well, I saw the prince's teacher." Then she paused and hurriedly added: "The prince's teacher is really good, and he misses a woman named Yu'er in that pavilion."
Yueming next to "Yu'er" repeated gently, and he also remembered the man who was unconscious in the inn in Xiwu, and the name was also in his mouth.
Looking at Yao Ling with an innocent face, Feng Zhao gestured to Yueming slightly, and the two of them didn't say anything.
After a while, Feng Zhao asked Yao Ling as if he remembered something: "Can the poison in Concubine Min be cured?"
At noon, someone from Jiang Li's palace said that Jiang Li summoned the wind and the moon. In Jiang Li's Showa Palace, Rong Yuan looked at the two of the two extemporaries in front of him who were radiant and had excellent temperament, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the descendants of the Yanlong royal family were outstanding. In addition to the three of him in the Showa Palace, there is one more person, that is, Prime Minister Hou Mingrui. Rong Yuan did not mention Concubine Min's illness, but only talked to Yueming about the alliance between Xiwu and Yanlong, and then signaled the two to leave.
After waiting for the moon and the wind to leave, Rong Yuan looked coldly at the prime minister who was standing on one side with an uncertain face, and asked in a deep voice: "If you don't reach an alliance with Yanlong, what other good way can the old minister make Jiang Li protect her life in the future." After saying that, he shook his hand away, and when he went out, he said coldly: "Yanlong has such an excellent rising star, what kind of pattern the world will be in the future, the old prime minister of the three dynasties, I don't know if there is a good way to ensure that my Jiang Li is safe and prosperous." ”
Hearing this, Hou Mingrui's heart trembled and trembled, because this sentence was the heaviest sentence that Rong Yuan had said to him since he ascended the throne, and he knew in his heart that Rong Yuan no longer tolerated him. Although he is the prime minister of the three dynasties, he has secretly competed with the royal family all his life, but he still has not grasped the royal family. Although his two sons are far away in the border pass, although they have the power of the army, but the surrounding deputy generals have all been replaced by Rong Yuan, it can be said that there is any turmoil in the border pass, his two sons do not know as much as Rong Yuan, and the only daughter does not know the situation and does whatever she wants in the palace, and now she has a strange disease, it is difficult to say whether she can keep the concubine position in the future. Thinking of Fang Cai Rong Yuan's words, he knew that it was time to lose his hand, and he couldn't retreat with his whole body no matter how late he was. I couldn't help but feel a little desolate in my heart, and after a long time, I bent down and withdrew from the Showa Hall and returned depressed.
Two days later, Feng Zhao and Yueming were playing chess in the post house, and the Yao Ling on one side was tinkering with a bunch of bells, jingling, and the two shook their heads while playing chess. At this moment, the guards came in and reported that the seventh princess of Jiang Li asked to see her, and the three of them immediately stopped what they were doing and looked at each other for a moment, Yaoling quickly put away her bell, and Fengzhao signaled for the seventh princess to come in.
Looking at the seventh princess in a pale yellow brocade shirt and hiring Tingting to stand in the center of the house, Yaoling's little face was a little unsightly, and she had to admit in her heart that the seventh princess was beautiful.
Today, Fengzhao no longer has the indifference he had when he saw the Seventh Princess the day before, and his attitude is a little kinder: "I don't know what happened to the princess here?" he asked lightly. The seventh princess gave a slight salute to Fengzhao, but she moved her skirt lightly and came to Yaoling, and gave a big gift when she bowed. Yaoling hurriedly jumped up from the chair and flashed to the side, and asked nervously, "What are you doing with me?"
"I know that you have superb medical skills, and I want to invite you into the palace to see my mother. The sobs in his tone could already be heard when he said this.
Yaoling and Feng Zhao Yueming suddenly had a faint surprise on their faces. After a moment of silence, Yaoling looked at the Seventh Princess, her eyes flashing with a hint of vigilance and a faint cat-and-mouse brilliance. "How do you know that I am highly skilled in medicine?" she asked her coldly.
The Seventh Princess didn't see the danger at all at this time, and her beautiful and soft eyes were filled with deep sadness: "That day, you said that you had cured the poison of His Royal Highness the King of Ningjun, and the mother concubine told me that you must be a woman with superb medical skills, because the love poison she gave to His Royal Highness the King of the County has never been heard of in the world, let alone be able to cure this poison." Hearing this, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Yao Ling withdrew her sharp gaze, and her beautiful and alert eyes kept looking at the face of the seventh princess. After thinking for a while, she said coldly: "Your mother concubine used such a sinister poison, I happened to return to the county king that day, and it happened that I would cure this poison, if not, now it is up to me to beg your mother to let Xiaofeng go." "
Fengzhao and Yueming on the side heard this, and their hearts moved slightly, and Fengzhao's heart couldn't help but warm and warm, and love was filled with wholeheartedness.
When the seventh princess heard this, she hurriedly gave Yao Ling a salute and said sadly: "I know that my mother has acted excessively, but as a daughter, I have nothing to do, and now that my mother is suffering from a strange disease, it must be God's punishment for her, as a daughter, I will do my best to redeem her, even if I exchange my life." After speaking, his face was full of tears.
Hearing this, Yaoling's heart seemed to be scratched by something, and it hurt gently. If her mother was like that, she thought she would do the same. At this time, she had forgotten Concubine Min's viciousness, and fell into a deep longing for her mother, whom she had never met. And Fengzhao was also led to his mother by the words of the seventh princess, and remembered his mother in the distant imperial capital. At this time, there was an oppressive atmosphere of sadness in the room. Yueming's indifferent eyes swept over everyone's faces, and finally landed on Yaoling's delicate face, looking at the melancholy in her eyes, a faint pain crossed the bottom of Yueming's eyes. He took a gentle step to Yaoling's side and stood in front of her, Yaoling in contemplation suddenly felt a white shadow blocked in front of him, and immediately retracted his distant thoughts, and Fengzhao also retracted his heart because of the movement of the moonlight, so the three of them focused their eyes on the body of the seventh princess.
At this time, the tearful Seventh Princess looked at Yaoling tightly with pleading eyes. Yaoling's beautiful eyes looked at the moonlight, and finally looked at the wind light.
Fengzhao and Yueming looked at Yaoling's gaze and nodded slightly, so Yaoling said to the seventh princess who was silently weeping: "Okay, I'll go with you to see." ”
Hearing that Yaoling agreed to her request, the seventh princess suddenly had a look of joy on her face, and said busily: "Thank you, girl"
After Yaoling and the Seventh Princess left, Yueming came to the window and said softly: "You don't think that the Seventh Princess and Yaoling are somewhat similar in some places. The wind on one side immediately turned his head to the moonlight. Yueming also turned her head and looked at him deeply. Yaoling's nose, eyes, mouth, and figure were sifted one by one, yes, the eyebrows and eyes of the two were very similar, but Yaoling's eyes were glowing with happiness, agility and intelligence, while the eyes of the seventh princess revealed a gentle and tranquil luster.
The eyes of the seven princesses are most similar to Rong Yuan, and the two of them can't help but think of the prince's teacher who talked to Yao Ling in the pavilion, in fact, it is Rong Yuan, but the two of them have always been unable to bear to expose Rong Yuan's true identity in front of Yao Ling, the two of them followed behind Yao Ling and listened to the conversation between Rong Yuan and Yao Ling clearly, at first they just thought that it was the emperor's usual trick to see the beautiful woman, and now they carefully recalled Rong Yuan's words, faintly as if there was something hidden in those words. The two of them stared at each other for a long time, their eyes glittering with uncertain light.
After a long time, Yueming said lightly: "Do you know, that magnolia hairpin is the thing of Jiang Li's royal family" Fengzhao's eyes suddenly had a look of surprise. "Are you sure?" he asked Yueming. Yueming nodded lightly: "That jade hairpin is from the hand of Wu Xiang, the jade carver of the Jiang Li royal family, but the Wu Xiang family suffered a fire thirteen years ago, and it is said that no one survived." After hearing this, Feng Zhao sat on the chair next to him in a daze. After a while, he stood up and walked out of the house quickly, calling for the carriage and heading straight to the palace of Jiang Li.
