CHAPTER XLII

When the king of Chu came out, Yan Yin looked at an acacia tree over the wall by the side of the road. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"There is little wind and frost in the wall, but the flowers are delicate, and a flower waist is out of the wall and laughs." He chanted Chen Guo's folk slang, smiled self-deprecatingly, turned his head to see the King of Chu, and his eyebrows were even more smiling: "Weichen should only wait here for half the night." ”
"Get out." The king of Chu seemed to be in a good mood, and patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go." ”
"Just let my wife stay alone in the empty room, tsk......"
"Hey, it's not over." King Chu slapped Yan Yin directly on the back of the head.
Yan Yin was caught off guard, and was slapped firmly, first stunned, and then fried, regardless of his hands, the two of them died silently, and their faces were colored to varying degrees when they came out of the Yongdao.
The guards were already waiting here, the King of Chu stepped forward, Yan Yin was respectful behind, his face was cold, and only an inaudible voice overflowed from the throat of the King of Chu: "Okay, what are you doing in the face?" Can you look like a man. ”
Yan Yin tried hard to control the corners of his eyes twitching because of the pain~ "If it weren't for ......" If you hadn't hit me in the eye, would I have been able to catch your face?
"Or what?" The voice was low and dissatisfied
"If it weren't for the dark night and the high wind, I wouldn't have missed."
As he spoke, all the heavily armed guards stepped forward, not wearing armor, but soft armor that was easy to move, and all of them covered their faces and tied their hands, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.
"What's going on now?"
"Don't worry, the king can't fly out."
As he spoke, a large mosquito with flowery feet buzzed over, and the corner of the guard's eye jumped.
The king of Chu slapped the mosquito to death on Yan Yin's neck with a snap, and a blood flower bloomed from his swollen belly ~ with his backhand: "That's good." ”
In the backyard of Kunhe Palace, the silence was full of strange struggles at the moment, and more than a dozen trembling and pale Gong'e were trembling and trembling together, their hands and feet were tied by ropes, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and some people's lips had begun to glow slightly purple.
Several agile guards hid in the shadows, all armed with spears.
In the front yard, the military doctor was already holding a silver needle in his hand and was examining the palace people one by one.
These military doctors also need to carry knives into battle on weekdays, and naturally they are different from those courteous doctors in the Tai Hospital, they are described as natural and rough, and there is no difference between the severity of the attack.
Looking at the past one by one, the people inside are divided into two groups, one group is weak but not yet sick, the other group is strong, Peony is naturally divided into the first group, after she woke up in a daze, she fell into a state of infatuation, and did not speak, just sat there gloomily, and asked her to answer two sentences slowly.
Xiao Gong'e, who cut Yuanqi's hair, followed her tremblingly, but was pushed away by her slap.
Meiya took another medicine in the afternoon, and the fever had subsided at this moment, but she was still asleep and was placed next to Peony, while Yuan Qi knelt beside her and didn't speak.
The speed of the military doctor was very fast, and after the division, he checked again, and it seemed that there was something wrong with the number on the list, so he said something to a female officer next to him, the female officer had never seen her, but at this moment she seemed to be the master of Kunhe Palace, and the military doctor answered like a stream.
Xiao Gong'e followed her instinct and clinged to Peony's side, but she also felt that this situation didn't seem right: "Sister Peony, what do you say they are going to do?" ”
Peony doesn't speak. Xiao Gong'e looked left and right, seeing that there were some old, weak, sick and disabled people around her, and suddenly she wanted to change to another team of healthy people.
was crotched by the guard: "Go back." ”
Xiao Gong'e saw the knife light, her feet were weak, and she immediately retreated.
The palace was as quiet as a ghost coffin, only the sound of the fire candle bursting, Xiao Gong'e was originally a person who relied on his mouth and cleverness, and was blocked by the guards, and then looked at the posture of the military doctor and a silver needle beside him, and he vaguely understood that this seemed to be related to the strange epidemic in the palace.
"I'm not sick." She turned her head and grabbed the stupid Peony, "Sister Peony, you tell them that I'm not sick." Peony suddenly smiled and grinned, and Xiao Gong'e had goosebumps.
One by one, the medic probed with silver needles, but it was limited to those who looked healthy, and for three people in a row, the medic shook his head, then stood up and pushed behind him.
The guards drew ~ their knives and drove the healthy to carry all the sick and weak to the backyard.
The two gong'e went to move the beautiful teeth, but were stopped by Yuan Qi: "I'll come." ”
Her thin body tried hard to move her beautiful teeth, but she could only move a little, and the waiting guard was impatient, and kicked over, seeing that her foot was about to reach Yuan Qi's back, she was pulled by another guard, and then said a few words in the ear of the kicking guard, his face changed slightly, and he snorted, unwilling to withdraw his foot.
The guard's placket was embroidered with dark moire, which was exactly the same as the moire on the female officer's body. This is the Yan family's family crest case.
There was no candle flame in the entire backyard, only the faint glow of the night pearl, and it was always easy to step on greasy liquids as far as your feet could reach.
Yuan Qi clinged to Meiya's side, and at this time, she suddenly understood what the guards were going to do.
"What do you want to do?" Her voice was clear enough for everyone to hear, "Tung oil is rolling on the ground, is it trying to burn us?" ”
There was panic in the backyard, and immediately there were frightened cries.
"We want to see the Queen!" Yuan Qi continued, Xiao Gong'e, who was timid to look at people on weekdays, seemed to be full of strength at this moment, and looked at Xueliang's long knife fearlessly.
"Right...... Right! We are Chen Guoren, you have no right to deal with us like this! A palace ejected in a trembling voice.
"You are all hiding from the epidemic now, if you want to continue to live, it is better to stay here obediently - there is a tung oil passage on the inside of the backyard wall, and there is a sulfur fire hidden underground in the courtyard - naturally if you stay here in a proper manner, there will be no danger, and there will be military doctors to continue to treat you, but-"
The female official's sharp voice raised, "If someone dares to challenge the safety of the Chu State and wants to bring the epidemic beyond the palace walls, then I can't complain about my aunt's cruelty." The fire was lit, revealing her withered wrists and face, and this woman, from the time they entered the palace, had lived in the apse, and had never interfered with any of their words and deeds, and even if she sometimes did something whimsical in the palace, the female officer had never fulfilled her right to advise.
After a little time, everyone naturally only regarded her as an ornament, who would have thought that once she made a move, even those strong and arrogant guards would also take the lead.
All the women trembled, their eyes were firmly fixed on her collection, and the female officer's hand was as steady as a rock: "If you are going to be executed, why bother with such fanfare, wouldn't it be cleaner to just cover your mouth and throw it into the dry well." ”
The girls were stunned for a while, and suddenly heard a cough, but it was Mama Liu who was also slowly brought in from the door. Several handmaidens immediately got the backbone of the main heart, and ran towards her in unison, Mama Liu waved her hand to signal them to be quiet, and then without saying much, she walked into the crowd and sat down.
"Mama......" someone cried in a low voice.
"Crying for what?" Mama Liu glanced at her, "The queen is safe, and the king is also Kangtai." ”
Then he turned his head, held back the itch in his throat, and looked at the female officer: "Hard work female officer." ”
The female official looked at her fixedly, and her orange-peeled face showed a strange shadow on the open fire extinguisher.
The guards retreated, and soon there was no sound of swords in the backyard, only the terrifying black and pungent smell of tung oil.
The taste was extremely sweet, at first only some people were dizzy and nauseous, and gradually some people began to vomit, and the weak palace people almost didn't even have the strength to vomit, the violent vomiting was contagious, and some people began to panic and wanted to leave, but as soon as they reached the edge, they were forced back by the hidden guards.
"They, they're going to poison us......" The little Gong'e, who was timid and fat at the beginning, had shrunk to Yuan Qi's side at the moment, and in the entire backyard, she was the only one who looked like a normal person.
"Of course they can." Yuan Qi's hand was tucked in his sleeve, and the tyrannical black snake was appeased with blood, her calm gaze scanned the surroundings lightly, and adapted to the forces of darkness keenly captured the light of the arrows in the hidden ~ spots of the outer wall, occasionally when the wind moved the blades and shook lightly, but saw a subtle reflection, it was a sharp and slender special silk, her gaze slowly swept back, almost all the palace women on the ground had begun to vomit, and the pungent smell permeated the backyard, and the tung oil circled the wall, blocking all the way of the smell.
Only she could smell it, and in that complex smell, there was a familiar and secret fishy smell, which slowly spread from the dry well in the courtyard, and then fell into the tung oil on the ground, tangled and entangled, and the corners of her eyes suddenly jumped.
Among these palace ladies, Peony vomited the most, and she was also the fattest, almost overwhelming when she vomited, and a few little maids around couldn't dodge, and she was vomited on her legs.
Then a series of weak voices exclaimed, "What did you vomit on me? ”
And in another deserted palace in the distance, a palace man just arrived in front of the door to spread the word.
"The people of Kunhe Palace have already rested, and the king instructed that in order not to affect the queen's rest, if there is any special situation, they will report again."
Xin Hui drank the ginseng tea, and had already dozed off with his upper and lower eyelids, and when he heard this, his heart was slightly relieved, and he lay down on the couch and fell asleep.
Xiao Gong'e, who passed the word, went out to tell the news, only to see that the guard was dressed neatly and with a murderous aura, he only felt that something was strange, and he couldn't think of it for a while, so he just shook his head.
This night, she slept until the next morning, the sun shone in through the window, and the sun burned on her face, like a fluffy feather, she opened her eyes, but instead of the comfort and comfort after a full sleep, she felt dizzy.
She stretched out her hand to prop it up, the bedding next to her was neat, the king of Chu did not come back last night, Xin Hui was secretly strange in her heart, the maid who carried the water seemed to expect, so she replied softly: "When the king got up, he saw that his wife was still sleeping, so he asked the slaves and maids to wait outside, so as not to disturb his wife's sleep." ”
The corners of Xin Hui's mouth raised slightly, and several palace people began to dress up themselves.
The clothes chosen are the ones left by the various ladies today, and they are really the most suitable to wear, making use of their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses, and setting off her abundance just right, but it will not look sharp, and there is a proper compromise between beauty and solemnity.
Several palace ladies secretly praised that they had also heard the insinuation noise of the Mu family sisters in the afternoon, and at this moment, looking at the faint figure in the bronze mirror, it was even more relieved than Xin Hui.
Because of the pomp and exquisiteness of the Qi people, there was a lot of unhappiness when entering the palace, the king of Chu assigned a ceremonial official in the palace who was about to return to the palace to coordinate, and was driven out by the prince of Qi, the king of Chu was not annoyed, and changed people one by one, until the famous prince Qian of Chu came out, Jiang Ci got the other party's address and liked many details, so he reluctantly accepted the rough "spoon dagger", the dry "deer burn bean pipe", and then walked up the ladder, and entered the Chu palace with his personal guard.
Chu Chen is full of anger, people are self-aware, Chu and Qi themselves do not deal with each other, Qi comes to Chu, Chu is already reluctant to receive face, he is so picky, described as hateful.
In the end~ he entered the palace and forcibly took more than several times the number of other guards, who were greedy and afraid of death, which became Chu Chen's fixed impression of Jiang Ci.
Due to the delay of Qi Guo, the banquet was postponed for two hours, and by the time it officially began, it was already sunset.
Add wine back to the lamp to reopen the banquet, poor Xin Hui waited for a long time with full interest, and in the morning the details of the various banquets on the side of the King of Chu suddenly got up and asked her to confirm all kinds of things, and she was so busy that her feet barely touched the ground, and she was tired for most of the day and just passed in a daze, so she was woken up again and prepared for the banquet.
