Chapter 99: The Tragic Hunting
Outsiders only say that Concubine Yan and Concubine Wan have a deep sisterhood, but they don't know that they are actually the queen's people.
If there were no concubines and concubines, Concubine Xiao would dominate the emperor's favor, and the queen and Concubine Xiao would now be on equal footing.
The queen may even be at a disadvantage.
Concubine Xiao's bitter trick is really ingenious, not only removing the queen's left and right hands in the harem, but also making the emperor's love for her increase day by day, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.
Concubine Yan has never liked to fight on the surface, and there is a reason why she suddenly made a move this time.
Due to the perennial war on the border between Wei and Wu, the border people lived miserably, and the two emperors finally reached an agreement to negotiate peace, and the daughter of Concubine Yan was about to be married to Wu and his relatives.
The emperor has three daughters, and by chance he chose Concubine Yan's daughter, she thought that Concubine Xiao was the obstruction, and she was angry that she poisoned Concubine Xiao on Puyang Yu's adult birthday.
Until she died, Concubine Yan didn't know that it was actually the empress who proposed it to the emperor, in order to borrow her hand to get rid of Concubine Xiao.
If this can be done, the queen can not only get rid of Concubine Xiao, Pu Yangyu will lose his mother on his adult birthday, and he will be in a state of collapse for a long time, and the queen can use this time to win over the courtiers and then win the crown prince.
But the fact is that Concubine Xiao was unscathed, and the queen even lost Concubine Wan, an extremely useful chess piece!
Concubine Wan has no heirs, and now she has been beaten into the cold palace and is not dead, if Concubine Wan finally shakes out the evil she has made her do over the years, her position as the queen may be in crisis.
Thinking of this, the queen's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and she was about to give an order to the palace maid beside her, but the palace people outside the palace passed on King Yan to ask to see her.
The queen bowed and retreated from the others, and Pu Yangxuan quickly rushed to the front of the palace and saluted her respectfully before sitting on the seat on the side.
Before Pu Yangxuan could speak, the queen said first: "What?" Are you here to ask for medicine again? ”
was said by the queen to think about it, Pu Yangxuan just smiled a little crampedly: "Where is the concubine, the son is looking at so many things in the palace recently, and he specially came to visit the concubine." ”
In a sense, Puyang Xuan really cares about the changes in the queen and the power in the palace, which are inseparable from whether he can win the crown prince smoothly.
When it came to the affairs in the palace, the queen Yan Zòng flashed her cruelty, and quickly returned to normal: "The affairs in the palace are free to be planned by the queen mother, and you are now concentrating on dealing with things outside the palace." ”
After a pause, he continued: "Xuan'er, you have been an adult for four years, and it is time to establish a concubine. ”
"Queen Mother······ Pu Yangxuan wanted to speak and stopped, the candidate for the concubine in his previous mind had always been Xing Ruoyou, whether it was her appearance or life experience, she deserved to be her concubine.
But the queen insisted on marrying Pu Yangche to be an undercover agent, although Pu Yangxuan had a grudge in his heart, he didn't dare to show it.
Sometimes Pu Yangxuan really can't figure it out, Xing Ruoyou is the daughter of the right minister, although it is rumored that she is not favored by the right minister, but if he marries her, the right minister will at least not stand on his opposite side in the matter of seizing the heir.
Moreover, although Xing Ruoyou's biological mother is deceased, her maiden Ao Jiajun has been guarding the northwest border pass.
Even if he marries Xing Ruoyou, he can't completely let Ao Jiajun take refuge in him, at least it will make it easier for him to win over Ao Jiajun.
What Puyang Xuan can see, the queen can naturally think of.
The queen naturally has her reasons for doing this.
Since ancient times, the queen felt that as a qualified emperor, she couldn't have true feelings for the women around her in the first place, they were just the emperor's traction to control the courtiers and stabilize the forces of all parties.
The queen herself has deeply experienced this.
And she could see that Pu Yangxuan was really sincere to Xing Ruoyou, so she would rather give up the great opportunity to recover Ao and win over the Ao family's army, and also separate them.
Now that the queen saw that Puyang Xuan wanted to speak and stopped, she knew what he was thinking, so she took his words and continued: "Xuan'er, the eldest daughter of Wang Shangshu, the second daughter of the right minister, and the fourth daughter of Liu Taishou, these women all have both ability and political integrity, no matter which one you marry, the forces behind them are beneficial to you competing for the position of prince." Especially the second daughter of the right prime minister, Xing Ruoming, her maiden family is Wei Taiwei, and her strength should not be underestimated. ”
"Erchen doesn't want to marry her!" Pu Yang Xuan knew that Xing Ruoyou married Pu Yang Che with the "merit" of the Wei family, and his resentment had not disappeared, so of course he was unwilling to marry Xing Ruoming.
The queen also understood the reason and changed the topic: "Although the three women mentioned by the queen mother are all selected, they are not as good as Nangong Yi, the youngest daughter of the Nangong family of the left prime minister. ”
After being reminded by the queen, Puyang Xuan suddenly realized.
The left and right phases are the pillars of the Chinese courtiers, but the two sons of the right phase are still young, and both are from the text, and have not yet become a climate.
And Zuo Xiang's second son is already a well-known general guarding the southwest, and has made countless military achievements.
If you can marry Nangong Yi, the benefits to Puyang Xuan are the most.
But Pu Yangxuan suddenly remembered another thing, and his eyebrows frowned slightly: "Queen Mother, since Zuo Xiang's eldest daughter was killed by Pu Yangche, he swore that he would never let a woman marry into the royal family again." ”
The queen also understood Zuo Xiang's temper, but she didn't want to stop there: "That was three years ago, if his daughter insisted on marrying, Zuo Xiang couldn't let her marry." ”
Pu Yangxuan smiled knowingly: "Erchen understands. ”
The queen was very satisfied with Pu Yangxuan's emotional sanity, and took out the antidote and put it on the table: "Isn't Huang Ying already mixed into the palace of the king?" Why is there no intelligence at all these days? ”
"After returning to my mother, Erchen inquired a few days ago that the only maid in the Dao Wangfu died violently, and she is afraid that she is more than lucky."
Huang Ying is a powerful workman on Pu Yangxuan's side, but he didn't expect to be discovered by Pu Yangche so soon, which made Pu Yangxuan realize that something seemed to be wrong.
He suspected that Xing Ruoyou had been recognized by Pu Yang Che earlier, and the reason why Pu Yang Che did not kill her was to use her to confuse their vision.
The queen also thought so, after all, when Concubine Xiao was poisoned last time, Pu Yangche kept preventing her from meeting Xing Ruoyou.
Moreover, most of the information sent back by Xing Ruoyou was information that they had already heard on their own, and it was not of much value at all.
Thinking of this, the queen suddenly withdrew the antidote on the table: "This time, we won't send her the antidote, wait for her to take the initiative to ask for us." ”
"Mother concubine, if you are controlled by Puyang Che, you can't leave the house freely at all, in case you ······"
"If Pu Yangche knew her identity a long time ago, there was no need for her to stay any longer!" The queen said to death, and did not wait for Pu Yangxuan to intercede again, and waved her hand, "Okay, you don't have to say more, the palace is tired, retreat." ”
Puyang Xuan was anxious, but he didn't dare to disobey the queen, so he got up and withdrew from the palace.
······
In the palace of the king of Xuan, Xing Ruoyou didn't know that his antidote for next month was gone, and he was finally developing a way to make the body immune to aphrodisiacs, and was preparing to find someone to do it.
She originally wanted Pu Yang Che to help her, how could Pu Yang Che agree and let her choose someone at will among his guards,
As a result, the task of "guinea pig" finally fell to Shadow Hunter.
Hunting Shadow is called a sad and indignant, didn't he let his lord know about the princess pretending to be a man and bathing King Jing last time, the princess This is definitely a personal vendetta of the communiqué!
But his own father-in-law has spoken, even if he wears intestinal poison, he has to drink it!
"Hey! Hunter, you haven't taken off your face towel, how can you test the medicine? "Xing Ruoyou has been thinking about this hunting shadow for a long time, and now he has finally got what he wants, and he can't hide the evil smile on the corner of his mouth.
Hunter is very angry, very sad, and very helpless, how can his own lord sell himself like this, sure enough, men are all heavy on sex and light on friends!!
Moreover, is it necessary for the princess's sinister smile to be so obvious, it is too much!
Despite the dissatisfaction, Hunter ripped off the face towel and smothered the black liquid in the bottle in one go.
As soon as he entered his mouth, the Hunter had an unusually strange expression on his face, indicating that this was definitely the most unpleasant thing he had drunk!
Xing Ruoyou saw the true face of the hunter for the first time, and was first surprised that this cool person actually had a cute baby face, and then he was thundered by his expression of "life is better than death", changed his previous banter, and cared: "Is it hard to drink?" ”
Hunter pointed to his mouth, bent down and wanted to vomit, but he couldn't, and his heart trembled in discomfort.
Who knew that Xing Ruoyou said in the next sentence: "It's hard to drink, this is the first step!" ”
Before Hunter could understand the meaning of Xing Ruoyou's words, she had already pulled him towards the bathtub that had been placed in the courtyard earlier, and actually asked him to go in and soak.
Hunting Shadow was already dizzy just by smelling that strange smell, where would he be willing to soak.
But Xing Ruoyou pushed him inside, and he was not good at doing anything to her, his round eyes looked pitifully at Pu Yangche not far away, and the meaning of asking for help could not be more obvious.
Unexpectedly, Xing Ruoyou but the wicked person sued first: "Lord, the shadow hunter is unwilling to cooperate with the concubine, and he still wants to do something to the concubine!" ”
"Hmm······" Hunter's mouth is now numb, and he can't say a word at all, and he is worried that his lord really thinks that he is going to do something to the princess, so he panicked for a while, and his defense was low, so he was pushed into the bath bucket by Xing Ruoyou so gorgeously.
"Huh? I warn you, if you come out now, all the medicine you took before will be in vain, and you will have to do it again! Xing Ruoyou saw that Hunter was about to jump out of the bathtub and froze, and was very satisfied, "Just hold on for an hour." ”
After that, Xing Ruoyou turned around and sat down beside Pu Yangche, and began to eat snacks very unscrupulously.
An hour later, Hunter came out of the tub with a vomit, and there were wolves everywhere in his body, where he was a little cool and handsome, and stood still waiting for the demonic princess in his mind to continue.
Xing Ruoyou suddenly said to Pu Yangche at this time: "Lord, there are no female dependents in our house, why don't you get two from the Qinglou first." ”
Pu Yangche didn't answer, Xing Ruoyou continued to take care of himself: "The concubine's medicine can theoretically resist any aphrodisiac, but in case the hunter has a special physique and can't be immune, you can't let him suffocate to death." ”
"What?!" Hunter is directly stupid, he is still a boy, how can he be with a Qinglou woman for the first time!
Absolutely not!
Thinking of this, Hunter Shadow shouted before Pu Yangche opened his mouth: "Lord, my subordinates don't want women!" ”
But the next sentence made Hunter suddenly regret why he yelled just now······
