Chapter 41: The Death of Balsam
"What is a fateful technique?" Yun Yao couldn't help but ask!
"It is a kind of divination, each ball of light represents a person's life qi, and there are thousands of balls of light large and small in the sky, representing all the people in this palace. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
This thing is amazing, and the shiny ones are also very good-looking, Yun Yao raised her head and looked at those balls of light, and Brother Qiao applied medicine to herself, "Is there me?" β
"Yes!" Brother Qiao put the lid on the bottle and continued: "These medicines include detoxification and dehumidification, scar removal, anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving, and these are all panaceas for removing all kinds of demon poisons. Yao'er, you take it, no matter what you encounter next time, you must notify me quickly, and you can't make claims to delay your illness. β
"That's it! Yao'er wrote it down, Brother Qiao still loves to nag like he did when he was a child, hehe" Yun Yao teased him, looking at him like a little girl, and laughed happily.
"You little girl, okay, it's time to tell me what's going on with this demon poison, right?" Brother Qiao held Yun Yao's shoulder and asked solemnly.
You must know that Yao'er is the woman he cares about the most, and he has suffered such a grievance under his nose, and he will never ignore it.
"It's a weasel spirit, some of the ways are good, I offended it a few days ago, and it found an opportunity to take revenge on me." That's all Yun Yao can tell Brother Qiao, after all, Brother Qiao is now the emperor's person, and Concubine Shu is still the emperor's favorite concubine.
This is a matter that affects the whole body, and Yun Yao naturally has to be cautious.
"There are such evil animals in this harem, and I will take them tonight." Brother Qiao's eyes flashed fiercely, he was no longer the little boy he was back then.
Yes, after so many years, Brother Qiao has experienced so many things of life and death, and he is often the enemy of demons and monsters, and he is not allowed to have the slightest pity.
Yun Yao smiled and said, "No need, if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, not to mention that I also injured her, and it won't come back to find fault for a while." "How could Yun Yao let Brother Qiao accept it, it is now Kemeng, it is a concubine, and it is a stunner that General Abra gave to the emperor.
Brother Qiao misunderstood Yun Yao a little, and hung his head in frustration.
"Brother Qiao, didn't you say that there is my ball of light? Which one is? Yun Yao saw his strange appearance and quickly changed the topic, and sure enough, Brother Qiao liked this topic very much, and happily introduced it.
chatting happily, before I knew it, it was almost time.
Yun Yao saw that Brother Qiao was still talking about those anecdotes about catching ghosts and sealing demons, so she followed his words and asked, "Brother Qiao, I heard that demons and monsters are afraid of the emperor's anger, right?" β
"Yes, but not all! Generally, only those who ascend the throne as kings are accompanied by the emperor's breath, before ascending the throne, there is a true dragon in the life grid, and it will also show the emperor's breath at special times, but usually like ordinary people, there are some high-minded people, and they will not be afraid of the emperor's anger, unless the emperor is furious, the true qi in the body and the power of the life grid will be fused together, and the thousand-year-level demons and monsters will be afraid of three points. β
It turns out that this is the case, no wonder Concubine Shu can accompany the king for a long time, so that she is not aware of its existence. Yun Yao remembered what the little ghost said that day, and wanted to take the opportunity to ask Brother Qiao for help.
"Brother Qiao, Yao'er wants to be transferred to the emperor's side as an errand!"
"Why? If you're afraid to go back to Shuyuan Palace, I can ask you to stay in the Star Moon Palace!" "Brother Qiao knows that the emperor is a person with a fickle personality, and he has the power of life and death, and one of the errands beside the emperor accidentally angered him, that is, no matter how much he can ask for rain and alchemy, it will be difficult to rescue Yun Yao.
"Yao'er knows, Yao'er is not afraid!"
Seeing that Yun Yao was so firm in his thoughts, Brother Qiao didn't know what to do, after all, he was going to the astrological platform to pray for the emperor in a few days, and when he left, she was the only one in the huge Star and Moon Palace, and it was difficult to ensure that the animal would not come to make trouble. Maybe Yao'er's safety is the most important thing.
Brother Qiao put away his jealousy and seriously agreed to Yun Yao's begging.
"The emperor likes poetry and songs, I have a few books here, you can take a good look, on an errand beside the emperor, only those who know literature and ink are popular!" Brother Qiao said as he led Yun Yao into the inner hall and took the books.
"Huh! Who is the person in this painting? Yun Yao pointed to an unfinished work on the bookcase, "Brother Qiao, when did you also like Wenmo?" β
Brother Qiao hurriedly picked up the remnants of the paintings, and said nervously: "Those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, and I often see the emperor's paintings, so on a whim!" β
"Oh! However, I think the woman in this painting looks a bit like a balsam girl! Yun Yao looked at Brother Qiao, this was the first time she had seen his face be so red, like a sunset, and a little like a red sun!
"Nonsense! How can I draw a dead person? Brother Qiao suddenly had a cold face and said angrily.
He's dead? Why did the Jinhua Palace, which accompanied Concubine Shu to go yesterday, die? That night, Concubine Shu returned to the palace very late, and she didn't see the balsam, and when she came back, she lost her temper and smashed things, and broke into her bedroom to kill herself, is it related to the death of the balsam?
Yun Yao had to figure out the truth of the matter, so she hurriedly walked over, grabbed Brother Qiao's arm and asked, "How did Balsam die?" Who executed her, is it the emperor? β
Obviously, Brother Qiao was annoyed that he was bald for a while, this kind of thing about the emperor can't tell everything. If he hadn't discovered that the ball of light was sick that day, he wouldn't have seen such a thing. At this time, she was forced to ask by Yun Yao, and after thinking about it, maybe let her know the emperor's temperament, and she would dispel the matter of going to Jinhua Palace.
Brother Qiao avoided Yun Yao's gaze and said: "That night, Concubine Shu went to Jinhua Hall with balsam to ask to see the saint, but as soon as she entered the house, Concubine Shu cried, saying how wronged she was, and asked the saint to be the master, and the emperor rewarded her with three thousand taels of gold for her to repair the palace, but the concubine was still not satisfied, and she was not relenting, the emperor was a little annoyed, and it happened that the balsam, an ignorant palace maid who did not know how to be respectful, arranged a lot of others, and the emperor was angry because Concubine Shu was a woman offered by General Abra, and did not blame Concubine Shu, In a fit of rage, he took balm. β
"Did you do it? He's dead? "This emperor's killing power is really not covered, this quick temper is very similar to Lan Yu. At every turn, he has to demonstrate to others, defend his rights everywhere, as if he is afraid of being ignored.
Yun Yao looked up and saw that the hour was not early, so she bowed and left the Star and Moon Palace.
β¦β¦
It's strange to say, Bai Yingying, no, you should continue to call her Shufei Kemeng, these days she locks herself in the palace, she doesn't eat or drink, and she is very quiet. The lady who has always been favored by the harem has not gone to Jinhua Hall to ask for peace for many days, and the emperor has not sent anyone to Shuyuan Hall to see. Is it really ruthless?
Bai Zhi'er will take advantage of the weakness! Day and night, she found all kinds of reasons to please the emperor, mentioning Bai Zhi'er, Yun Yao began to wonder again, before Bai Zhi'er entered the palace, she had never heard that Bai Cheng had a daughter, wasn't Bai Yingying an only daughter? This Prime Minister Bai is a human being, and now Bai Yingying is a demon body, I think Prime Minister Bai knows about it, and deliberately arranged for his two daughters to enter the palace together, why? Bai Zhi'er didn't seem to know Concubine Shu at the Hundred Flowers Banquet that day, what the hell is going on?
Yun Yao shook her head and sighed secretly: "What a mess! "If you want to figure this out, you must go to Jinhua Hall as soon as possible.
After Yun Yao packed up the books she brought back from Brother Qiao, she borrowed Concubine Shu's small kitchen and made a purple jade lotus soup, which was packed in a yellow porcelain cup with gold wires, and covered with silk handkerchiefs, and then brought it out.
Since Concubine Shu closed her door, this luxurious Shuyuan Palace has become lifeless, and those palace people and maids gathered in the shade to play cards, sleep, and chat in the shade on this hot day, even when they saw Yun Yao, they didn't care about anything, and gave some reward money to send away.
There are three layers of outer halls outside the Jinhua Palace, heavily guarded, if you want to enter so grandly in the daytime, unless there is a summoning or token or the like.
Yun Yao held Sanhua's token, looked at the guards not far in front of her, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, be prepared!" β
Sanhua's token is really good, not to mention the green light all the way, the guards are respectfully bowed, it is really stylish.
But when you get to Jinhua Palace, it's not a token that can open the way.
This time is when the emperor has just woken up from a nap, and according to Brother Qiao, the emperor will come out to bask in the sun and move his muscles and bones. Yun Yao just had to stand there and wait for the rabbit.
But today, for some reason, Yun Yao was sweating all over the sun, and she still didn't see the emperor come out. This purple jade lotus soup has been in place for a long time, and it is not cool and waxy, so Yun Yao has no choice but to leave.
"Cloud Girl!" Manager Wang Fu beckoned his hand and called out to Yun Yao.
"Mr. Wang is auspicious!"
"Oh, my old bones, what's so auspicious, but the girl is young, and the days of happiness are ahead!" Wang Fu half-squinted his eyes and looked at Yun Yao's silk handkerchief.
"Steward, you are really good at laughing, Yun Yao is an inferior palace maid, where did you come from to enjoy a happy life!"
Wang Fu only smiled but didn't speak!
"Manager Wang, I don't know if the emperor has woken up from a nap, Yao'er wants to see the emperor!"
Wang Fu put away half of his smile, but looked at the road Yun Yao had walked on when he came, and said, "It's really unfortunate that the emperor and the monk are out of the palace!" β
"Out of the palace?" Yun Yao stared at the vermilion lacquer gate of the Jinhua Hall with wide eyes. But Brother Qiao didn't tell me? Didn't you say how many more days it would take? Why did you leave all of a sudden?
Wang Fu seemed to see Yun Yao's doubts and explained, "It was decided by the emperor temporarily!" Yesterday, the northern starry sky crape myrtle flashed, which is a sign of a catastrophe that only occurs in a thousand years, so the emperor secretly left the palace! β
Secretly out of the palace? You can also tell yourself so easily, isn't it a contradiction? Yun Yao crossbowed her small mouth, it seems that today is not the right time.
"Miss Yun, the emperor instructed the old slave before leaving, if the girl needs anything, just speak!" Wang Fu glanced at the food covered by the silk handkerchief and smiled meaningfully.
It seems that he misunderstood. Yun Yao hurriedly blessed herself and said: "Yao'er thanks the emperor for his mercy, Mr. Wang takes care of it, Yao'er goes down first!" β
"Why are you in a hurry to go back?" Bai Zhi'er wore a blue-green woven lotus ice silk satin skirt, which was also refreshing in this hot afternoon.
"Concubine Xiang, Jin'an!" Yun Yao hurriedly blessed herself.
"Sister, why are you so polite? Mr. Wang, the emperor is available? β
"Hui Xiang Niangniang, the emperor's dictation, the state affairs have been busy recently, and you can't see it without a declaration!" Wang Fu was deeply blessed, and the smile on his face continued unabated.
"That's unfortunate, Sister Yun, you might as well go and sit in my room! We haven't seen each other since you went to Shuyuan Palace. β
Yun Yao wanted to refuse, but Bai Zhi'er pulled her arm.
had to let Concubine Xiang go.
Wang Fu's face suddenly became gloomy, turned around and entered the Jinhua Palace, and closed the palace door tightly.
