Chapter 574: The True Face of the Divine Stone
Looking at Rong Xi's smiling eyes, as bright as the stars in the sky, Sun Chengqiang held himself up from being angry, he laughed dryly twice and said: "Princess, since you said that sentence to Xia Guan in Xiang Zhanglin today, Xia Guan expressed his sincerity, and he was also anxious, so he made a covenant with the princess and princess tonight, and asked the princess to give advice." ”
Rong Xi listened to what he said so clearly and clearly, knowing that this guy was really a little anxious, no wonder, begging for a son for so many years, finally now that the three concubines are pregnant, he was about to go crazy with joy, and suddenly asked him, "Lord Sun, are you sure that your three children are all yours?" ”
This sentence was like a stone entering the water, stirring up circles of ripples, and making Sun Chengqiang's heart feel hugely uneasy.
Rong Xi smiled shallowly, the breeze passed, the smile on her face was like petals spreading in the wind, her long eyebrows were slightly raised, and there seemed to be a faint sarcasm in her tone, "Lord Sun, your family affairs, what do you want this princess to teach?" ”
Sun Chengqiang's chest rose and fell for a while, and his face became like a green eggplant skin, "Princess, since it is a family affair of the lower officials, I don't know what the princess said, what does it mean?" ”
"Oh," Rong Xi raised his hand to comb the hair around his ear, and said casually, "I'm just talking about things." ”
Leng Yixiu was silent on the side, but he was about to laugh in his heart, looking at Sun Chengqiang's appearance that he was so angry that he was about to vomit blood but couldn't bear it, he felt relieved, this guy's words in the court caused Rong Xi to have to prepare so much, it should really be a lesson.
Sun Chengqiang had already realized that Rong Xi was playing with him, but Rong Xi's words were like a thorn in his heart, making him have to be patient, and in desperation, he set his eyes on Leng Yixiu and wanted to ask for help from him.
"Oh, that's right," Rong Xi turned his gaze when he saw him, and suddenly said as if he remembered something: "Master Sun, have you written your excerpt?" If not, you have to hurry up, otherwise tomorrow you will go to the court, and the prince will probably face the emperor's punishment? This time, Ning Wangfu was able to survive and resolve the crisis, speaking of which, I still have to thank you Lord Sun. ”
Sun Chengqiang's face turned pale, and a little embarrassment flashed in his eyes, he naturally understood that what Rong Xi was talking about was a rhetorical question, and it was also said that the book he was above the court was tantamount to participating in Leng Yixiu, which was tantamount to standing on the opposite side of King Ning's mansion, and at this moment, he asked for help from King Ning and his wife, how could he open his mouth?
He gritted his teeth and saluted again: "His Royal Highness King Ning, Princess Ning, the lower official has been written, and it will be presented to the emperor when he goes to court tomorrow, and then King Ning will definitely be exempted from the emperor's rebuke and punishment, what are the consequences, the lower official will bear it, and the lower official will not notice it for a while, so he will speculate that it will be played on the saint, so it has affected the Ning Wangfu, and I also ask King Ning and the princess to see the change of the lower official......"
Rong Xi and Leng Yixiu glanced at each other, and felt that it was almost the same, Sun Chengqiang was able to bend and stretch, and he was also a speech official, although the official position was not high, but it was a very sensitive position, just knock and knock, not too desperate.
Rong Xi nodded and said: "Lord Sun, it's good to be able to return the innocence of my Ning Wangfu, in the future, as a speech official, you will shoulder the heavy responsibility of speaking for your father, it is better to polish your eyes a little." ”
Sun Chengqiang took a breath and said, "Yes, keep in mind the lower officials." ”
Rong Xi slowly walked in front of the divine stone, the shallow carving pattern on the stone, sure enough, it was Guanyin, Guanyin's eyebrows were kind, and the corners of his mouth were smiling, but at this time, no matter how he looked at it, it seemed to be with three points of ridicule.
Rong Xi slowly raised his hand, his fingers slowly slid over the pattern, and then he looked down at his fingers, and there was a faint imperceptible green powder with a faint light on his fingertips.
And so it was.
Sun Chengqiang stood behind her, watching her movements with wide eyes, he wanted to stop her, how could he be so disrespectful to the Divine Stone? He usually doesn't talk about touching it, he doesn't even dare to get close, at most he has to stop one meter away, and the other people in the house don't dare to step forward, and those inferior family Ding Yahuan can't even enter this courtyard.
However, Rong Xi slowly turned around, blocking back the sound that he was almost rushing out, she stretched out her finger and said to Sun Chengqiang: "Lord Sun, do you recognize what this is?" ”
Sun Chengqiang swallowed the words back in his mouth again, and he felt at that moment that fortunately he didn't see this Princess Ning often, otherwise, he would be suffocated to death in a few days.
He looked at Rong Xi's thin white fingers, and didn't have the heart to think about anything else, and rubbed his eyes, as if there was a little green light on the tips of her white fingers, but it was very faint, and if he didn't look carefully, he couldn't see it at all.
"This ......" Sun Chengqiang hesitated, he really didn't know what this thing was, and finally shook his head, "Xia Guan doesn't know." ”
"That princess came to sue you," Rong Xi withdrew his finger and pointed to the divine stone, his finger was like a sword, "This green thing is cloud nitrate powder, this thing will have a green light in the wind, like a glowing firefly, it will have a sense of light in the dark night, but it will not be very long, in addition, if this cloud nitrate powder encounters wine, the person who smells it will not only see the green light, but also have hallucinations." ”
Rong Xi paused, looked at Sun Chengqiang's eyes that were getting wider and wider, and continued: "And on this so-called divine stone, it has been coated with cloud nitrate powder, and the powder remaining in the cracks of those carvings still has a faint moisture, which means that it has been mixed with wine, and now, you can understand what is going on with the Guanyin manifestation you saw that night, right?" ”
Sun Chengqiang stayed there, he had only digested Rong Xi's words for a long time, what did Princess Ning mean? Is the Guanyin apparition fake? Showing yourself the way is also fake? So...... Could it be assumed that even this sacred stone itself is fake?
The light in his eyes flickered non-stop, and this thought that suddenly broke into his mind, coupled with what Rong Xi said in the camphor forest before, made his mind suddenly empty, and his eyes were a little empty.
But in an instant, Sun Chengqiang regained his senses, Rong Xi clearly saw a few traces of despair and fierceness flashing in his eyes, her fingers pinched lightly, and a hidden weapon pinched on her fingertips.
Sun Chengqiang didn't do anything, just slowly focused his gaze on the divine stone, his voice was different from his eyes, it seemed unusually calm, "Princess, can you explain it more clearly?" Also, my three concubines......"
Leng Yixiu looked at Sun Chengqiang's appearance, and could see his forbearance, his eyebrows moved imperceptibly, this person, who knows how to judge the situation and forbearance, can be regarded as a character, if this matter can go smoothly, when he reaches his own camp, he will not be a usable person.
Rong Xi's thoughts are similar to Leng Yixiu's, she came today to let Sun Chengqiang understand, if she doesn't break or stand, she will always be blindfolded like this, when will it be?
The night breeze was slightly cool, and her voice was cooler than the wind, "Lord Sun, I won't tell you, this princess has always been interested in interesting things, you should know that the affairs of your house are also interesting things in Kyoto, so this princess pays more attention." ”
Sun Chengqiang pursed his lips, without saying a word, looking like he was listening, Rong Xi's gaze fell on the divine stone, "This stone is just an ordinary stone in your pond, and the reason why there are these carved patterns is just because someone has dived into the water in advance to make preparations, this qiē, just to wait for you to take the bait." ”
Sun Chengqiang's eyes flashed slightly, Rong Xi smiled faintly, and said: "You are a civil official, although there is also a nursing home in the house, but it is always too ordinary, how can you stop someone with a heart?" ”
"As for that Jianghu Langzhong, it's just a trick to make you believe more, this princess has seen the recipe he gave you, it's just some ordinary herbs, and the recipe is also a tonic that is beneficial to the body, but it's by no means a rare prescription, I believe you also took it privately and let the gentlemen in those pharmacies see it, the answer should be the same, then Jianghu Langzhong won't be afraid of you taking it for others to see, because he has never said how amazing his recipe is, and the magic is that the water used to cook soup and medicine, It's the water in the pond that came out of the magic. ”
Sun Chengqiang's shoulders trembled slightly, it was obvious that Rong Xi's words were not bad at all, he did take it for other doctors to see, of course the answer was the same, that Jianghu Langzhong also said that the magic was not the recipe, but the water for boiling medicine, but the ridiculous He later regarded the pond as a treasure in the house, and sent someone to guard it, usually not letting people approach.
His voice was dry and unpleasant, "In this way, the medicine that Xia Guan took is basically useless?" ”
Rong Xi nodded, "Lord Sun, in fact, for couples who don't have children, it is not necessarily caused by women, and it is too unfair to blame women for not having children." ”
Leng Yixiu's cheeks bulged suddenly, while Sun Chengqiang twitched the corners of his mouth, raised his head and looked at Rong Xi with shocked eyes.
Rong Xi's face did not change, she naturally understood how shocked the two men would be when she said this, but she couldn't help but say that the ancient people's thinking was too ignorant, thinking that not being able to have children was a woman's business, it was really ...... Unexplainable.
Sun Chengqiang's lips trembled for a long time, and then he controlled his trembling heart that was stimulated, and said, "Princess, you ...... What exactly do you want to say? ”
Rong Xi's eyes turned and said to Sun Chengqiang: "Lord Sun, if you pass this level, this princess can cure your illness and let you have your own children." ”
Sun Chengqiang's eyes jumped, and his heart almost jumped out of his cavity, he clenched his fists, almost gritted his teeth and said, "Princess, what do you mean?" ”
"That's what it means," Rong Xi said calmly.
