181 Chapter 179
Jin Kingdom, Fuxi Palace.
Mu Junning leaned on the beauty couch, and stole half a day of leisure.
"Ahem, ahem. Covering his mouth and coughing a few times, the person lost a lot of weight, and his face, which was originally quite round, was also reduced, but he looked weak and couldn't help but get up. Since she came back from the ghost gate five years ago, her body is not as good as before, she has a headache and fever at every turn, and now she also has a fever, but she still goes to work sick.
There was a bowl of hot medicine in front of the couch, steaming hot, black and thick, and the whole room smelled like this, but Mu Junning had no intention of drinking it. This is what Liang Chengwen ordered the small kitchen to boil for her, and now Imperial Doctor Liang is a big celebrity in the palace, and I don't know when the concubines in the palace discovered his superb medical skills and always liked to call him for treatment. I don't know if it was deliberate or unintentional, it was rumored in the palace that Liu Zong had an intestinal carbuncle a few years ago, and he was almost rescued by Liang Chengwen when he was about to die, which can be called a resurrection. This is many years ago, and it is naturally more credible, which does not want a famous doctor to consult, the body is guaranteed, and it is natural that the market is like a market, but it is a pity that Liang Chengwen does not do midwifery, otherwise it will be more lively.
Thinking of this, Mu Junning rarely overflowed a smile.
She prefers to believe that this kind of rumor is spread by someone with a heart, in order to let Liang Chengwen go to the next level, how can there be so many coincidences in the palace?
He left the capital with more than a dozen doctors from the Tai Hospital half a month ago, and the epidemic situation in the western and northern states is getting worse day by day, and the emperor is also eating the divine pill more and more frequently, as if he can live a long life of a hundred years.
I don't know whose order she gets, as long as she is a little sick Liang Chengwen will come spontaneously, and she is on the same front as the ink painting, so she has to be drugged. Who else in this world cares about her but her children? Perhaps, there is another ...... He?
But, how is that possible?
Looking at the colorful falling flowers outside the window, the sun is shining on the ground, and the breeze is rolling a few wisps of autumn coolness, but my thoughts are gradually drifting away.
Since Emperor Jin Cheng discovered that many eunuchs and palace maids were meticulous five years ago, the palace affairs in this palace have never been handed over to any concubine at will, and almost all of them have fallen on Mu Junning's head. If you want to talk about the queen, although the second prince has been released from confinement, Yu Qi's concubine's fornication is a thorn in the heart of Emperor Jin Cheng, and he will never give palace affairs to the queen again.
After the queen had a pregnancy, she was detained in the palace to recuperate, and only came out during important celebrations.
But is she really so peaceful? Mu Junning looked at the bottles and cans in the room, especially a kiln azure glazed plate that had just been given from the inner library, but there were a lot of "things" on it, and long-term inhalation would cause delirium, of course, now this is just what she asked Xue Rui to imitate, and when needed, she will replace the queen's "grace".
And Mei Jue is even more exciting, β‘β‘ of the ten have problems, and they will naturally become infertile after a few years, and they will be replaced by the same method.
The things given by the queen, who dares to check if there is a problem inside, she is also smart, and she uses the name of the Internal Affairs Office to send it, if it weren't for Liu Zong's extra heart, they would also be on the road.
She was holding a bamboo tube in her hand, which was the painted nail piece that had been placed many years ago, if it weren't for this gadget, she wouldn't have survived at that time, and her sharp gaze softened slightly.
"Why don't you drink the medicine well?"
There was a reprimand outside the door, and when I looked up, it was Mei Jue, she was even more beautiful, if five years ago she was still a budding daisy, now it is a delicate peony, the emperor always can't leave her, but she has almost no good face, the emperor is too, three thousand beauties just love this and ignore him.
Mu Junning put the nail piece into the bamboo tube and sat up slowly.
"Even if you drink the medicine well, it won't take long for the wind to blow, to walk, even if it is to water the flowers, you may do it again, so why bother? If I continue to drink like this, I feel that my whole body smells like this. Frowning slightly, she has not loved this taste since she was a child, but no one likes to drink medicine.
"You, don't make a fuss, it's not for your good. Mei Jue was a little helpless, but this kind of Mu Junning also made her feel very fresh, and she was afraid of drinking medicine.
"I said again, I know, I know. Mu Junning waved her hand impatiently, this Mei Jue is an old mother.
Mei Jue hid her indebted eyes, her apologies were not made by saying them, where could the friendship between her and Mu Junning be revealed in a few words. If it weren't for saving her, Mu Junning wouldn't have ended up with the sick man she is now.
Even if she is allowed to use it for the rest of her life, I am afraid she will not be able to repay Mu Junning's kindness.
She couldn't understand how such a petite woman could have so much courage at that time, like the power to explode with her life.
With a sigh, Mei Jue closed the window first, making sure that there was no one around.
Looking at this posture, I know that there is something to say.
Both of them were quiet, and sure enough, Mei Jue took out a bamboo tube from his sleeve that was almost exactly the same as Mu Junning's injury before, "Qing Ran gave it to me, let me also hand it over to you." β
Mu Junning's heart tugged, and she opened the bamboo tube with a slight tremble, and there was only one line of words on it.
I dismantled those words and looked at them, and after reading them again, I was sure that I was not wrong.
His eyes turned red, and Mu Junning trembled more and more as he pinched the paper, "You still know...... It's been five years and eight months......"
The fist slammed into the beauty couch, and there was a dull thump of thump, and she thought she couldn't wait any longer.
"That bastard, bastard...... Hmm......" scolded for a while, realized that he had lost his temper again, took a quick breath, and swallowed the rest of the choking.
Speechlessly, he glanced at Mei Jue, who was full of narrow eyes, "What are you laughing at!"
"I'm happy, of course, why, I can't laugh yet. Mei Jue was also very excited when she first received the news, but when she saw Mu Junning's current performance, she felt that she was really calm at that moment, and sure enough, whether she was ashamed or not was compared.
The two laughed for a while, Mu Junning ran to the wardrobe and began to choose clothes, there was no good choice, her figure changed greatly, many clothes were worn big, and she was not interested in dressing up, and the fabrics sent every year according to the routine were either given to the next person or sent to Mei Jue and Rong Zhaoyi.
Only now did I realize that I didn't have any clothes that would fit me.
"What are you anxious about, he won't come back today, it's still early, and the journey will be at least a month. Mei Jue looked at the tangled Mu Junning with tears and laughter.
This woman, only when she talks about that person, is like a little girl.
Mu Jun's hand for choosing clothes was stunned before he put it down, too, it was still too late.
"Isn't it despised that I'm doing this? She seemed to be deflated and sat back in her chair, looking particularly fragile about the loneliness between her eyebrows.
"What do you say, you say that there are so many people coming back and forth in this world every day, how many of them can we see every day? When I was an aunt before, I dreamed of being able to go out for a walk, at least I am not trapped in this place, we can see or be looked at, only that one, but do you think that person has a heart for this thing? It may be a miracle to be able to meet a person who you like, even if it is a thought, there is always a hope, you look at me, I ...... in this life" I don't even have hope, all my dreams and the people I care about have been ruined by the one who is on high!
Before he finished speaking, he was covered by Mu Junning, this is not something that can be said casually, it is too taboo.
was told by Mei Jue like this, Mu Junning was also relieved.
After being a hairpin, although she is a concubine, she also understands that she can play around, but she can't be serious, the world doesn't allow it, her identity is not allowed, and even her children can't allow her Xiao to think about something else, that is a thought that doesn't know etiquette, righteousness and shame. But someone who has died once, it seems that those who originally cared about it don't matter anymore, what else is she afraid of.
"So, shouldn't you drink the medicine? Mei Jue picked up the bowl that had been warmed again.
Do you want to see him when you are sick?
As if he understood Mei Jue's meaning, Mu Junning looked at the medicine, picked up the medicine suddenly, closed his eyes and drank it.
Stuffed a piece of candied fruit to combine the terrible taste, and the facial features were almost wrinkled together.
At this time, the ink painting hurriedly came to report that the Queen Mother was not good.
What a bad way, that is, it may be the time to die, as soon as they heard this, the two of them hurriedly got up and rushed to the Yanshou Palace.
The Queen Mother takes A Hibiscus all year round, this emperor has long banned the spread of things, a few years ago, he fell again, suffered a stroke and lay in bed, all relying on Liang Chengwen's superb medical skills to hang his life, but it is difficult to say how long he can live, he has been sick several times in the past few months, and the palace has been almost ruined, and he kept shouting the name of the seventh prince Shao Huachi, but the seventh prince has already received an errand and is busy, where can he come back.
Speaking of people, they all say that the filial piety of the Seven Princes is commendable, and they are a model among the princes.
The Queen Mother, who looked like she was in good spirits a few years ago, is now like an ordinary old man, although she is covered with a quilt, her body can hardly be seen, and she is skinny.
She dismissed the others, including Emperor Jin Cheng, who rushed over.
When Mei Jue, who was worried and almost about to cry, arrived, Emperor Jin Cheng was very distressed, and he couldn't accommodate other concubines in his eyes, so he helped Mei Jue, who was about to salute, and comforted a few words, Mei Jue also answered one by one, but it looked like he was affectionate.
"Why are you here, you should recuperate well in the palace. Only then did the emperor see Mu Junning on the side, and he was also worried.
"This is what the concubine should be, the queen mother ...... him" while saying, Mu Junning noticed the queen who was quiet on the side, looking so non-existent, it was precisely because she had such a good reputation many years ago that her low profile was even more vigilant now.
Emperor Jin Cheng shook his head with a sad expression.
It's hard to say how sad this is, the queen mother is not the biological mother of Emperor Jin Cheng, and she only has a face-to-face relationship on weekdays, but the Jin Kingdom adheres to the idea of putting filial piety first, even the emperor can't be poured into a reputation of "unfilial piety". If the Queen Mother's illness came suddenly, then he would inevitably ask this group of quacks to lose their heads, but there are so many doctors in the Tai Hospital, when the Queen Mother had a stroke a few years ago, they said that her time was short, and now she can live a few more years, which is already Liang Chengwen's ability.
The Queen Mother only left the most powerful old lady by her side, formerly known as Gui Amu, who was a personal maid who had followed her since she was a young lady, and she was the only person she believed in now, and the others had long been uprooted by Shao Huachi one by one.
"Mother, the mourning family is dying. The Queen Mother said such a sentence, and it seemed very difficult.
Aunt Gui held tears in her eyes, "Queen Mother, you will get better, you will." β
The Queen Mother knows her body, she can survive until now, and she has to rely on the kid's calculations, "Okay, why did the evil obstacle leave now, he just waited for this moment! It was already calculated! Hahahahaha, the mourning family is unwilling, the last few years have been controlled by such a wolf-hearted beast, although the mourning family is sorry for his mother, why is he so tormented!?"
Shao Huachi's mother, Concubine Li, who was full of glory in the capital back then, was jointly designed by her and the queen and branded as the "demon concubine of the country", but they are the harem examples, the emperor does not go to court early for a few days, for a concubine who forgets to sleep and eat, how can he sit idly by!?
Of course, the rise and fall of every country will always be blamed on women.
Even those who are fellow women are no different.
Maybe it's back to the light, when talking about Shao Huachi, the Queen Mother's eyes suddenly became hideous.
Aunt Gui naturally understands that this is talking about the Seven Princes, after the Queen Mother took A Furong and became addicted to it a few years ago, the Seven Princes treated the Queen Mother on the surface of filial piety on behalf of the emperor, but behind the scenes, they continued to give A Furong intermittently "kindly", in his opinion, the Queen Mother had to do it, but it was not what he wanted to give.
Now that the more complicated forces in the palace have been handed over to Shao Huachi, not to mention, the queen mother's life is in the hands of that person.
"The mourning family is his grandmother, how can he be so ruthless?" What makes the Queen Mother feel the most chilling is that even if those palace maids at the door are now Shao Huachi's people, she can't leave any message to tell others the truth, even if she says it, who will believe it?
In the eyes of the emperor, this old seven is the biggest filial son in the world.
King Rui, what is Rui? The prince who brought auspiciousness to this country, which prince has this honor, and there are only a few who have been named princes, and only this old seven is worthy of the title of Rui!
Thinking of this, the Queen Mother felt that the sky was making people.
In the end, this old seven is the one who plays tricks the most.
For so many years, she has been immersed in Fleur's happiness, but every time she is awake, she has to face the humiliation of that wolf-hearted thing on her, "Listen, Auntie, I have a secret message here, you take it, I hope it won't be used." β
"It's ......," Gui's mother carefully took the box.
"That evil obstacle wants the throne, but the mourning family doesn't give it to him. The Queen Mother laughed evilly.
Aunt Gui was shocked, "This ...... How is it possible, it is impossible for him to succeed to the throne with the Seventh Highness!"
If nothing else, his mother has such a reputation, he himself is disfigured and counted as disabled, these two points alone doom him to be impossible to succeed to the throne, and Emperor Jin Cheng, who cherishes his reputation, is even more unlikely to give him this throne.
Aunt Gui was surprised that in the expectation of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother also concealed this matter from her personal grandmother, because in her opinion, it was also incredible, but she would not be wrong about the desire for power in the eyes of the evil obstacles, and the behavior could deceive people, but those eyes, that action, could not deceive, and it was paving the way for himself at all.
"He hid it too well, don't talk about you, who can see it from top to bottom? Even Lao Jiu, who is known as a prodigy, is not he also hidden it in the dark? According to the mourning family, the prodigy is nothing more than that. "It's ridiculous and lamentable, it's ridiculous that a few of them are not as good as a seventh, no wonder there are so many fine works in this palace.
It's really funny, the emperor has so many children, and the most brilliant one is actually a child they have given up a long time ago.
"I hope this thing doesn't work out one day. But if he really wants to take the throne, you will tell the world this metaphor. β
Shao Huachi, mourning is death, and you will not be called the emperor by your evil obstacles.
Aunt Gui is still thinking about the secret edict in her hand, and this secret decree also represents the Queen Mother's last means of dealing with Shao Huachi, which is extremely important. If it is really as the Queen Mother expected, then the Seventh Prince is really a hidden careerist.
Thinking about the behavior of the Seven Princes over the years, he came back to his senses, but found that the Queen Mother was motionless with her eyes open, and she had already passed away after that sentence.
"Queen Mother!!"
The mourning was so loud that a group of people knelt down.
Emperor Jin Cheng and the others outside the door turned pale and ordered the attendants to open the door.
ββJin Jiang Du Jia, only one positive versionββ
When the capital is mourning, it will take a few days to get the news here in the northwest.
The utility room of a farmhouse at the end of the village in Zhaoxi Village, Yuzhou was slammed, Fu Yue's nose and face were swollen, and there were not a few pieces of good meat on her body, she shivered and hid inside, looking at the door that was about to shatter in horror, she knew that the thin door would not last long.
She looked at the scissors in her hand, did she cut it off or went out and was killed?
When he took the scissors, but at the moment of stabbing into his body, he thought of what his father and mother said a few years ago when he came to the village to get him back, and thought of his mother saying that in order to prevent the second brother from entering the palace in order to redeem her, the younger brother volunteered to enter the cannibalistic place.
The courage she mentioned several times was dissipated, as well as the family who faintly looked forward to her coming home, and the little brother who didn't know when he would lose his life in the palace.
"I didn't cry, it takes tears to cry. "That's what my little brother said.
When grandma was killed by the soil, the younger brother didn't shed a single tear, obviously he loved grandma so much, but so calmly took out the soil out of his grandmother's stomach, the soil was full of blood and internal organs, but the little brother's hands were strangely so gentle, this is not like a child at all.
What they have always known is that the little brother is not like their child at all, no matter what family this child is born in, it is better than coming here, maybe they are dragging down the little brother's road to the bird.
Obviously, the hand was also trembling, but he sewed up his grandmother's stomach again.
She seemed to understand what her little brother was thinking at that time, she touched the corners of her eyes, and sure enough, there were no tears.
Bang bang, bang, there was an endless sound, but Fu Yue seemed to have some courage, her eyes were full of determination, and she hid the scissors behind her.
Outside, a middle-aged one-eyed man surnamed was banging on the door outside, but the surrounding neighbors were used to this scene, and glanced at it, some scolded and said a few words, some watched the show, and some went back to their own houses to cook, and hung up high. Now is the time to eat, since Shangshan Village collapsed a few years ago, they no longer have to pay extra silver, and they are much richer.
Smallpox was rampant in Huzhou next door, but they didn't receive any information, and they still lived a life of sunset, even if they knew, it was impossible for them to move their nests for a long time, and they would not suffer any disasters in Zhaoxi Village, which was many years of experience.
This cripple is fifty-five years old today, and his early experience in the army made him bigger than ordinary even if he was lame, and his fierce style is the characteristic of the entire Zhaoxi Village. To say that he was only lame, but his eyes were blinded.
Who was blind, this was also said many years ago. After marrying a girl from the poor countryside of Gaozhou, she had an accident, the lame man's family was poor, and he was old when he came back from the army, the wife in front of him was killed, and the originally pregnant child was also lost together, many of these soldiers who came down from the battlefield had this situation, and they could not alleviate the violent emotions, and they got used to it over time.
Especially Xu Cripple is disabled, and his inferiority complex and unvented anger are vented on his wife, plus he eats, drinks, prostitutes, and gambles, everything that can be sold in the family is sold, and he is already so poor that he naturally can't marry a girl from a good family, so he spent money to buy a girl from the poor county next door.
The girl's family is too, and then I don't know how to regret it, and I want to get the girl back.
But they can't come to Zhaoxi Village if others want to, especially the daughter who got married, this matter is ignored even if it goes to the official mansion, and the water splashed out by the married daughter, not to mention that the mother's family has no money and no ability, and wants to redeem it with some money, even if you are rich and powerful, you can't go back at will, the rules of the Jin Kingdom are clearly dangling, and the housework is ignored everywhere, Xu Cripple just beat her to death, and she can be released after a few days at most.
The family was very tough, saying that if they didn't give it to the girl, they would break in, and one of Xu Cripple's eyes was blinded by a little girl named Fu Liu, and this time it was a slap in the face of their Zhaoxi Village, and the people of the village drove the family back in anger, and since then Xu Cripple has become a shame in the village, a useless symbol, so the already irascible Xu Cripple has intensified his abuse of his young wife, and a beating every day has become commonplace.
Now Fu Yue is only in her twenties, but she looks like a middle-aged woman, bent on her waist, the old injuries are not healed, the new injuries are added, and the desperate life makes her almost hopeless.
Bang, the door shattered.
As soon as Xu Cripple opened it and came in, he saw Fu Yue, who was shrinking in the corner of the wall, but looking at him stubbornly.
What he hates the most is this mother-in-law's eyes, which are so bright that it seems that anyone who looks at her will be ashamed of themselves.
"Slut, I'll let you stare at, I'll let you ......" He panted and walked over, pulling Fu Yue's hair without saying a word, this has been the norm all these years.
Fu Yue quietly let him pull, and the scissors hidden behind him suddenly lifted up and stabbed at Xu Cripple's leg.
The little sheep on weekdays, in the years of oppression, broke out with a huge resistance force.
Xu Cripple screamed loudly, the majestic rope was about to turn around and kill this woman, when he was red-eyed, but unexpectedly, Fu Yue pulled out the scissors, blood splashed on her face, and then stabbed him in the neck, full of hatred and despair permeated her.
She knew that the movement here would soon attract the surrounding neighbors, and she saw that Xu Cripple struggled a bit, and finally collapsed in a pool of blood, but there was no remorse in her heart, and she would still do it if she was given another chance, even if it cost her life.
She was also covered in blood, but she rushed out of Xu Cripple's body.
Her mind went blank for a moment, and then she suddenly pulled out her legs and ran outside.
There were already people looking at the door, who heard the screams of the lame man just now, and screamed when they saw Fu Yue, who was stained with half of his blood.
In the blink of an eye, Fu Yue had already run away.
It's really a bad crime, this foreign woman is going to be cut by a thousand knives, and she actually did the murder of her husband, but she is a lowly woman, and she dares to do something to their village, even if she digs three feet into the ground, she will find her!
At night, Zhaoxi Village was particularly lively, full of villagers lighting torches looking for Fu Yue's whereabouts.
Finally, someone found the unkempt Fu Yue in the chicken pen, she was dragged out like a dead dog, she was hungry for several days, and then burst out with that kind of strength, now she didn't have much strength, she was dragged to the middle of the road at the head of the village, surrounded by villagers with torches, she looked at those faces one by one, and suddenly felt funny.
"Hahahaha, if you help the abuse, you won't end well. I, Fu Yue, have no ability, I can only kill that one, if I can, I would rather kill all of you!" and looked at the women who also dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, hidden in the crowd, and were also bought or robbed from other villages at a low price, "Do you still want to endure it? Do you want to do this for the rest of your life!?"
"Evil words confuse the public, she has been invaded by evil spirits, she needs to be purified, and she needs to be on fire!"
A group of people put Fu Yue on the shelf, lit the torches, and burned little by little, but Fu Yue looked up at the moonlight and hummed a song.
It was a song she used to put her younger siblings to sleep when she was a child, and it was a folk song in Gaozhou.
The women looked at the gradually burning wooden pile, and then saw Fu Yue's appearance, and somehow cried.
Da-da-da-da.
In the distance, the sound of horses' hooves was heard, and a group of men and horses galloped towards it. 166 Reading Network
