Chapter Eighty-Five: Prescriptions for Beauty
After the next morning, Mu Feiyang had an unpleasant quarrel with the emperor over the matter of ascending the immortal tower.
"What did you say?!"
A majestic voice came from above the main hall, and it was even more thunderous in the spacious hall, as if it was about to shatter Mu Feiyang, who was standing with his head bowed below.
Under the pressure from above, Mu Feiyang stubbornly repeated Fang Cai's words: "After many visits and investigations by Erchen, it was found that Dengxian Tower was a legal business and did not participate in the murder of the emperor's eldest brother fifteen years ago. ”
"But you swore to me before that the Dengxian Tower was inconsistent with the outside, and there was collusion with many sects in the rivers and lakes, could it be that you couldn't fool me!"
"Erchen doesn't dare!" Mu Feiyang hurriedly bowed down and saluted again, before explaining: "It was really the recklessness of the sons and daughters before, and before the matter was thoroughly investigated, it alarmed my father, Emperor Qing'an. It's just that you know the emperor, and it is difficult for the ministers to deal with everything involving the emperor's eldest brother calmly! ”
The emperor sitting on the dragon chair was originally very angry, but when he heard the words of the sixth son, all his anger gradually subsided. The sixth son is right, the death of the eldest son is an eternal wound in the hearts of both their father and son, no matter who among them, as long as they encounter something related to them, they can not deal with it calmly, although fifteen years have passed, it is still difficult to forget after all.
After a moment of silence, with a heavy sigh, the Emperor waved his hand and said, "That's it, let this matter pass!" ”
Mu Feiyang bowed down again and asked, "Can the shopkeeper of Dengxian Tower be released?" "It's not that he does it too much, the main thing is that the seizure of Dengxian Tower and the detention of Boss Rong are the will of his father, and if he wants to be released, his father must speak in person.
As for this matter, the emperor did not think much about it, but waved his hand a little impatiently and ordered: "Although he has nothing to do with the murder case fifteen years ago, it is true that he has caught many criminals, all of whom are extremely vicious people, and I don't know how many ugly things he has participated in, so let's deal with them together!" "Stand up and leave, this matter made him upset, he just wanted to take a break in the apse, and then he had to summon a few people from the military department, and after the spring, the north was restless!
But before he could take a few steps, the voice of the sixth son came again: "Father! ”
Slightly annoyed, so he didn't look back, only frowned and asked with annoyance, "What's the matter?" ”
Mu Feiyang was silent for a few seconds, and then he still spoke: "The person arrested before is not from the rivers and lakes, and it has nothing to do with Dengxian Tower. ”
"What!" Hearing this, the emperor turned his head abruptly and looked at the sixth son with an incredulous expression, unable to believe that even the person suspected of committing the rebellion was fake!
In order to meet Xia Xue'er's request, Mu Feiyang knew that he would definitely offend Long Yan after saying everything, but he had to continue: "That was just a ploy by Erchen, in order to lure the snake out of the hole, and the prisoners arrested were not from the rivers and lakes, but death row prisoners who violated the law......"
"Ridiculous!" The emperor waved his sleeves and swept away the incense burner and fruit plate on the case, the incense ash and fruit were sprinkled on the ground, and the maids and eunuchs in the hall hurriedly knelt down, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out, Mu Feiyang also knelt down, did not distinguish, just lowered his head, and quietly waited for a storm to come.
"You, you! What do you want me to say about you? Why can't you learn the good of your eldest brother at all! You can do this ridiculous thing! ”
If the emperor's mood at this moment is anger, it is better to say that he is helpless, and he hates iron but not steel! The eldest prince and the sixth prince are obviously from the same mother, one can be his right-hand man and solve problems for himself, while the other can only break his heart!
If it is really a dragon giving birth to nine sons, the sons are different!
Mu Feiyang only knelt honestly and quietly in the center of the hall, for his father's words that iron is not steel, although he did not show too many changes on his face, in fact, his heart still hurt violently as if he had been pricked by a needle.
In the end, it is still father and son......
It's not that he doesn't know that his father has always disliked him, and it's not that he doesn't know that his father is careful about himself, he just habitually ignores it, and he just doesn't want others to laugh at his existence is pathetic. Since the accidental death of the eldest brother, the relationship between him and his father is destined to be in such an embarrassing state, and it is also destined to become each other's scars and even fish bones stuck in the throat, and as time goes by, the card will get stronger and stronger, and the thorns will get deeper and deeper!
Unlike ordinary people, no matter how painful it is, none of them will make up their minds to pull out this fish bone until they have to do so!
But at the same time, they all knew that this day would come sooner or later......
After a long time, the emperor reluctantly restrained his feelings, glanced deeply at his son kneeling below, and sighed deeply before he spoke again: "The matter has come to this, exile!"
Hearing this, Mu Feiyang raised his head and looked at his father, with an unpredictable meaning in his eyes. It's not because of his father's unclear right and wrong, he knows his ruthlessness, but he is unwilling to lose like this after paying so much!
It is not a pity that the prisoners who were caught as bait died, they were people who had broken the law, and exile was already considered an extrajudicial favor to them, but Boss Narong ...... The person was named by Xia Xue'er to save, and as long as his charges were cleared, it would be equivalent to saving Dengxian Lou's life, so that his future plans would definitely be like a tiger with wings!
It's just that this matter has already involved the royal face that my father values the most, but I'm afraid it's not easy to handle......
After frowning slightly, he spoke: "Father, this matter is probably inappropriate. Erchen's investigation found that the boss behind the Dengxian Tower involved was the Zhao family. ”
The emperor didn't react for a while, he didn't want to think about it more, but when he heard his son's words, he seemed to be quite taboo about him, and he couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Zhao family? Which Zhao family? ”
Mu Feiyang could only explain directly: "Jiangnan Zhao family, old lady Zhao."
"Old lady Zhao?!"
The Emperor's voice immediately rose an octave higher! His face was first surprised, then angry, and finally he was a little overwhelmed! A pair of eyes were fixed on the kneeling man of His Royal Highness, his chest was rolling and churning, and he had no mind to guess the intention of the sixth son, and only focused on how to save the situation before it got out of control!
Mu Feiyang didn't look up, after all, the person he provoked was not only his father, but also the most face-seeking person in the world! Feeling the terrifying gaze condensed on him from above, he was still a little scared in his heart, and his back began to sweat, as if he was being executed by Ling Chi.
A raging storm is coming......
In the summer mansion, on the green lotus pond, Xia Xue'er sat alone in the pavilion, only feeling that the spring breeze was warm, and the fragrance of flowers was all over the face, but it was a pity that this good spring light could enter her eyes but could not enter her heart......
Suddenly, I heard a laughter like a silver bell, raised my eyes and looked away, a line of wonderful people in colorful clothes and brocade clothes in the poolside garden were strolling to enjoy the flowers, laughing in the sky, and the wind was laughing, led by Zhao Wanqing and ...... Xia Qiaoyun?
Although there were many doubts in my heart, I didn't dwell too much on it. Since Xia Qiaoyun returned home, she has not made any noise, although she has shown favor to herself before, but she can't trust her again. After all, she didn't believe that there would be permanent hatred between people, but she also didn't believe that the two people who had been feuding for a long time would turn into a rivalry after just a few months of exile.
It's just that now she is no longer the stupid Xia Xue'er she used to be, no matter what big move the other party makes, she has the courage to face it and the confidence to resolve it!
A few people on the opposite side also seemed to have discovered Xia Xue'er in the Bishui Pavilion, the conversation and laughter stopped abruptly, standing on the shore of the lake and looking at the center of the lake, Xia Xue'er nodded slightly to the two of them, and did not speak.
But looking at the appearance of the two of them, they didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, and after a few whispers that Xia Xue'er couldn't hear, they walked towards the Bishui Pavilion where Xia Xue'er was.
Seeing this scene, Xia Xue'er turned her head and beckoned to the cuizhu waiting on the carved stone corridor outside the pavilion.
"Miss." Cuizhu stepped forward, bowed down and was flush with Xia Xue'er, who was sitting on the beauty's lean, Xia Xue'er turned her head slightly, looked at Zhao Wanqing and Xia Qiaoyun, who were only dozens of steps away from her, and lowered her voice and asked Cuizhu: "Can you take the prescription sent by Xiaolian with you?" ”
"Miss Hui, take it with you as you order."
Xia Xue'er smiled slightly in her heart after hearing this, but there was no expression on her face, she just commanded in the tone and tone of her usual speech: "Cuizhu, quickly pour a cup of hot tea for Cousin Wan and Second Miss." Then he stood up, looked at the two people who happened to step into the pavilion with a warm smile like a spring breeze, and said, "The sun is just right today, you should be thirsty after walking for a long time, right?" ”
Zhao Wanqing smiled softly, without too many words, walked straight to the stone bench in the pavilion, took the tea offered by Cuizhu, and took a sip of it, making the Jiangnan woman's graceful expression to the fullest, just watching her drink tea is already enjoying an incomparable beauty!
And Xia Qiaoyun was not so straightforward and decisive in the face of Xia Xue'er's invitation, she was stunned at first, and then the corners of her mouth rose to a standard smile, and said: "The third sister is thoughtful, and such a trivial matter is also very well arranged. I've been chatting with Miss Zhao for so long, and I'm really a little thirsty! ”
In this regard, Xia Xue'er just smiled slightly, sat down next to Zhao Wanqing, and took a sip of a cup of tea and said: "I should have gone to accompany my sister after returning to the yard yesterday, but I was delayed outside, and it was late when I went back, so I didn't bother when I saw that the lights in my sister's house were out, and I thought about going to ask for guilt at lunchtime!" ”
Zhao Wanqing hid her face and smiled, and said with some disgust in her tone: "I don't know where you have gone these days, fortunately, there is a second lady to accompany you to talk, otherwise you wouldn't be bored to death!" ”
Xia Xue'er explained: "I, my body has not been in good condition since I fell into the water, and a few days ago I was introduced by a friend to meet a miracle doctor, but that person didn't want to come into the house, so I didn't go to another hospital to live for a few days, I was afraid that you would be worried, so I didn't tell you." ”
"Divine Doctor?" As soon as Zhao Wanqing heard that her cousin had gone to see a miracle doctor, she immediately became interested, her father was a famous doctor, and the Zhao family also had a lot of medical business, so she would be more or less interested in treating diseases and saving people, and asked, "Is your body better now?" ”
"Well, I've been taking medicine for a few days according to the prescription, and now I feel much better."
"I've been with my father since I was a child, and I know a little bit about medicine, can you show me that recipe?"
"That's nature." Xia Xue'er turned her head and ordered the girl behind her, "Cuizhu, show the recipe to Cousin Wan." ”
Cuizhu untied a bag from his waist as instructed, took out a prescription from it and handed it to Zhao Wanqing. And Zhao Wanqing couldn't wait to open it, but the more she looked at it, the more solemn her expression became, and finally raised her eyes to Xia Xue'er, who had a calm face, and said, "Cousin, isn't it a mistake?" Although my medical skills are not good, I can also see that this is not a cure for diseases! I once read a prescription for rejuvenation in an ancient book, although it is different from this one, the efficacy of the drug is similar, in my opinion, your prescription is more like beauty and beauty! ”
"What?"
Xia Xue'er looked very puzzled, her brows furrowed, and she hurriedly took the prescription from Zhao Wanqing's hand, and only after glancing at it did she relax, she glanced at Cuizhu with a slight meaning, and then explained: "Oops, I took the wrong prescription, this is not my prescription!" ”
After saying that, he handed the recipe to Cuizhu, and after Cuizhu took it, he glanced at it and hurriedly bowed and apologized: "It's the slave who is careless, this was searched by the mother of the underworld from a girl a month ago, and it was originally intended for Mrs., but it happened that Mrs. was in a coma and let me forget it!" If it weren't for Miss Zhao to see Miss's prescription today, I'm afraid that the slave would have completely forgotten about it. Then he took out another prescription from the same bag and handed it to Zhao Wanqing, saying, "This is the prescription prescribed by the divine doctor to our young lady." ”
Zhao Wanqing sighed and looked at Cuizhu with a panicked face, and instructed: "Don't forget it, don't make a mistake!" ”
Xia Qiaoyun interjected: "Since it is a prescription for rejuvenation, it must be wrong and it doesn't matter, but you have to work hard to make a trip!" ”
Although it was a joking tone, it also made Zhao Wanqing nervous, and hurriedly explained: "Sister Qiaoyun, you don't know, although this recipe is for rejuvenation, it can't be used casually!" There are several medicinal materials in it, not to mention that they are extremely precious, even the medicinal properties are also extremely strong, and the key is that there is a lot of toxicity! Although long-term use will make people radiant and creamy, but in fact, the foundation is getting more and more empty, it can be said that this recipe is to sacrifice the health of the human body to achieve the purpose of beauty! ”
After hearing this, several people in the pavilion were terrified, only Xia Qiaoyun's mouth hooked up a smile that no one noticed.
