Chapter Eighty-Eight: Alchemy
Enguo Gong took a person dressed as a Taoist priest and met Princess Shun and his party at the palace gate. After taking people to salute King Shun and his wife, Enguo Gong said, "It really happened that I met King Shun and Princess Shun here. When outsiders are brought in the palace, they have to hand over cards. Now King Shun will bring this person in to do it, so that your mother can be at peace. ”
King Shun looked at the Taoist priest who was dressed in a cyan robe, with his hair tied in a bun, wearing a flat mixed yuan hat, holding a compass in his hand, and was skinny and skinny, and thought to himself: Is this hungry, or is it practiced by Bigu?
King Shun brought people into the palace, and Enguo Gong turned around and walked back.
The news that King Shun brought a famous Taoist priest into the palace spread throughout the palace after a while. When Concubine Shu heard this, she immediately rushed to Kunning Palace with a group of palace people in a rage.
When the concubine heard that the Taoist priest had entered the queen's bedroom, Concubine Shu was angry and rushed to Kunning Palace, she was worried that her sister would suffer a loss when she went to Kunning Palace. She asked someone to report to His Majesty, and she held her big belly, ignoring the obstruction of the eunuch in charge Xiao Linzi, and insisted on taking a group of people to Kunning Palace.
His Majesty was afraid that someone would do something to the concubine, so he has been sending shadow guards to secretly guard outside the Zhaoyang Palace. As soon as the shadow guard saw that the concubine had a big belly and led the group out of the palace gate regardless of the danger, he secretly said that it was not good, so he quickly reported to His Majesty.
His Majesty was anxious when he heard the news, and he ignored the ministers who were discussing the matter, and hurriedly set up the Kunning Palace.
Feng Ling also heard the news, she was worried about the concubine who was about to give birth, and hurriedly took the group to Kunning Palace.
King Shun entered Kunning Palace, left the Taoist priest outside the Kunning Palace, and he took Princess Shun into the main hall to appease his mother. He saw his mother lying in a daze, and from time to time he shouted: There are ghosts.
King Shun took the hand of the queen mother and whispered in her ear: "Don't be afraid, the queen mother, my son brought a Taoist priest to collect ghosts, and he will not come to you in the future." ”
The queen listened to what her son said and quieted down. King Shun continued to say softly: "Queen Mother, you have to get better quickly, if you are sick, you will be in power, our success will be affected, and your night pearl will not be available for a while." ”
Hearing the three words of Night Pearl, the queen seemed to have been splashed with a bowl of dog blood, and immediately came to her senses. She immediately sat up and shouted, "Bengong wants to drink porridge." Everyone was stunned, is this still the queen who was about to die just now?
The queen drank some of the porridge handed to her by Chen Yu, and then took a sip of the water handed by Princess Shun. She asked, "What about the Taoist priest?"
"Waiting outside the hall. The son will go and tell him to do it now. After speaking, King Shun turned around and walked away from the main hall.
King Shun said to the Taoist priest who was waiting outside: "You can collect ......" Before he finished speaking, Concubine Shu rushed into Kunning Palace while crying, followed by a group of palace people who followed her.
"The emperor of this palace died so resentfully, and now he will be treated as a ghost, and he will never be able to turn over. The palace is no longer alive, so go with the emperor......"
King Shun was annoyed and helpless and saluted Concubine Shu: "The son-in-law ...... to give the concubine a salute." ”
Concubine Shu ignored him, pointed to the Taoist priest and said to her palace people, "Beat this person out of the palace." ”
"Who dares. The queen stepped out and roared angrily.
"Concubine Shu, you are so bold that you dare to come to Kunning Palace to make trouble. What crime should you be guilty of according to the palace rules?"
Concubine Shu sneered: "Dare to ask the queen mother, what is the crime of murdering the prince?"
"What evidence do you have that this palace plotted to kill the prince?"
"If not, what are you afraid of, Niangniang, why do you want to call a Taoist priest to enter the palace when you are scared?"
"You...... You're crazy enough to talk to Hongu like that. Someone came, and took the concubine off the palm mouth fifty. ”
Several eunuchs hesitated and slowly stepped forward.
"Sister...... Whoever dares to hit the sister of the main palace, let's hit the main palace first. The concubine arrived with a big belly, and when she heard that the queen was going to enforce the palace rules on her sister, she stood in front of the concubine to protect her.
The queen was already trembling with anger from the concubine, and the concubine she hadn't seen for many days, even if she was pregnant with Liujia, was as beautiful as a flower. She was so jealous that she lost her mind in an instant, and she shouted at the guards standing outside the courtyard: "Pull these two down to the staff fifty." ”
Everyone was stunned. The queen asked the concubine to enforce the palace rules, and everyone was terrified. What's more, the concubine Niangniang is still pregnant with the prince and is the emperor's favorite concubine. None of the guards dared to step forward. King Shun hurriedly stepped forward to persuade the queen: "The queen mother is calm, please calm down." ”
"If you don't teach them a lesson, no one will dare to come here to spread wild. The majesty of the main shrine ......"
"The queen is so big, so magnificent, so majestic. The emperor walked into the courtyard and said coldly to the queen.
Seeing the emperor coming, everyone knelt down and saluted, but the emperor ignored him. The emperor helped the concubine to prevent her from kneeling: "You better go back, there is me here." ”
The concubine cried and said, "Your Majesty, don't blame my sister, she lost the emperor." Today, there is still a Taoist priest who wants to collect the soul of the prince and let him not be born, so that her sister has lost her mind and offended the queen. ”
The emperor agreed distressedly: "Her emperor is also my son, and I will not let people collect the soul of the prince and let him not be born." ”
The emperor glared at the palace people who looked at the concubine and said, "Hurry up and help your master back to Zhaoyang Palace, there is a little mistake, I want your dog's life." ”
The palace people of the concubine hurriedly got up from the ground, and Xiao Zhao stepped forward to help the concubine and persuaded: "Niangniang, Your Majesty will be fine here, so you can go back to the palace." ”
Feng Ling was holding the kitten, and when she was about to arrive at Kunning Palace, she saw Xiao Zhao holding the concubine and slowly walking out of Kunning Palace. The concubine walked and turned back. Feng Ling stepped forward and whispered to the concubine after greeting her: "Niangniang don't worry about going back, there is me here." ”
The concubine took Feng Ling's hand and said eagerly, "Ling'er, you have to find a way to protect Concubine Shu's safety." ”
Feng Ling nodded at her: "I will definitely bring her to Zhaoyang Palace safely." ”
The concubine left with someone at ease.
Feng Ling carried the kitten into Kunning Palace, and the emperor glanced at her and told the kneeling people to get up. The emperor asked Feng Ling lightly: "What are you looking to see for the excitement?"
Feng Ling saluted His Majesty and said: "Back to my father, the presiding officer of Linyun Temple has an old relationship with his son, so it is better for his son to invite him to come and spend time for the prince." ”
The emperor nodded: "Very good." ”
King Shun hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "The son has sent someone to invite the host." ”
The emperor pointed to the Taoist priest and asked, "Why did you bring this person into the palace?"
King Shun replied: "It was brought by the prince of Enguo." ”
The emperor snorted coldly, and the hand of the Enguo Mansion was too long, and he actually stretched out to the harem.
The Taoist priest was still calm in the face of the emperor and queen before, but after he saw Feng Ling and the kitten, his face changed greatly, and cold sweat broke out from his head.
Taoist priests have the ability to refine pills and cultivate immortals, draw talismans and chant spells, exorcise ghosts and demons, pray for blessings and disasters, and can also find out the magic level of ghosts and gods.
The person in front of him is a cat, and his spell is so strong that he doesn't know where it is sacred. His legs involuntarily knelt down.
Feng Ling glanced at the Taoist priest and said to His Majesty: "The Taoist alchemy is okay, and the others are bluffing." ”
The Taoist priest took the opportunity to kneel on the ground, and he said to the emperor: "Poor Dao thought that he was invited to alchemy, and he didn't want to be asked to exorcise ghosts and demons, and Poor Dao did not have this spell. ”
The emperor asked, "What kind of pill did you refine?"
The Taoist priest glanced up at Feng Ling, who was standing behind the emperor, Feng Ling's mouth moved slightly, and the Taoist priest replied: "Immortal Pill." ”
The emperor became interested: "Oh, really?"
The Taoist priest glanced at Feng Ling again, Feng Ling blinked, and the Taoist priest replied: "Poor Dao guarantees his life." ”
The emperor called a eunuch: "Take him out of the harem and find another place to settle down first." ”
The Taoist priest wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, got up from the ground, dragged a pair of disobedient feet, and walked out of Kunning Palace with the eunuch step by step.
The emperor looked at the angry queen with a cold eye, and he spoke: "Spread the holy decree, posthumously crown the four princes as the king of Xiaoyao, and the fief Luoyang will be taken care of by the concubine for the time being." ”
Concubine Shu knelt down and kowtowed to thank you: "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen." ”
King Shun's face turned pale, and the queen shouted angrily: "Your Majesty, a dead man also wants a fief?"
The emperor sneered: "He is my son, and it is up to me whether he is sealed or not." ”
With that, he turned and left with a group of people. The queen spurted out a mouthful of blood and fainted into King Shun's arms.
