Chapter 27: The Obstacle
Returning to Shoukang Palace, Emperor Yongjia walked into the dormitory alone, while Feng Xiuyun and Diexi were left outside the palace.
Feng Xiuyun wanted to ask Diexi more, but she saw her little hands clenched into fists, and the whole person was extremely depressed, as if she was about to break at a touch, and her heart softened again, and she just gently opened her mouth to comfort her, "It's going to be fine, don't worry." ”
Diexi lowered her head, kept snorting, held back her tears and didn't want to let herself cry in front of others, hearing his words, she buried her head lower, and bowed her head slightly, which was a response.
If it weren't for his lack of anger, how could he have delayed the return for so many days, if he could have come back earlier, the Queen Mother's condition would have been discovered earlier, and it would not have added so many days of pain, blaming himself, he was useless......
She kept cursing herself in her heart, and finally she couldn't hold back her tears, and the dripping tears fell to the ground, scattering rippled tears, telling her self-blame.
Feng Xiuyun looked distressed, but because of the palace rules, she could only clench her fist tightly, wanting to give her some strength.
After a while, Miao followed the inner attendant to the outside of Shoukang Palace, and the inner attendant invited the maid to pass the word and retreated first, leaving only Miao and the two of them in the palace.
Miao, who was summoned in a hurry, was just puzzled, and only had one contact with the princess on the way out, but she was confused. However, now looking at this weak woman who was weeping and crying, the doubts in her heart were even heavier.
The maid who entered the house to deliver the message quickly retreated, saluted the three of them, and said softly: "The emperor invites the three people to enter, please come with the slave and maid." ”
Miao didn't say a word and raised her feet to follow, Diexi paused, and was just about to leave, but her little face was held up by Feng Xiuyun. He frowned and gently wiped away the tears for her, and then turned to follow, Diexi was stunned, and walked forward silently.
The atmosphere in the dormitory was not much better, and the emperor frowned and turned his back to the three of them. After the three people who entered the house knelt down and saluted, the emperor called Miao, "You come and see the symptoms of the Queen Mother." ”
Miao replied respectfully "yes", knelt beside the bed without hesitation and carefully diagnosed the Queen Mother, and then stepped aside again.
"Are you sure?" The emperor turned around to look at Miao and looked at Miao solemnly.
Miao knelt in front of him and replied calmly: "What the Queen Mother is in should be the Gu poison of the black unicorn ant." ”
"Is there a pharmacist?"
Miao muttered in her heart, how do you feel like a trap? couldn't help but look sideways at Diexi, Diexi was sobbing behind her, not noticing Miao's gaze at all, she was even more strange, so she had to reply truthfully: "As far as the lowly knows, if this kind of Gu poison is not removed by the Gu person, it can only be solved by the poison of the dragon horn python, but the dragon horn python is not common in Daning." ”
"Where?" The emperor leaned down slightly, his elbows propped up his knees, and he squinted and stared at Miao.
"As far as the humble knows, there is a rain forest west of Liuzhou, and there should be traces of dragon horn pythons."
Miao didn't say it wrong, but the same words from the previous life came out of her mouth again, but now it sounds a little weird.
"Okay, you take two teams of light guards at once, do you know how to prepare the antidote?" The emperor waved his wings and stood up.
Miao replied cautiously to the "meeting", and after bowing down again, he bowed and retreated.
The emperor looked at the Queen Mother, saw that she nodded at him, turned his head to the remaining two and said, "You two should also step down." ”
Feng Xiuyun stood up after bowing, but saw that Diexi was still reluctant to get up, and it was when she was puzzled, Diexi leaned over the ground and asked the emperor with tears in her eyes, "Please allow the emperor to allow the concubines to serve the queen mother." ”
Both of them were stunned, and then the emperor waved his hand, which was considered to be allowed to her, and turned to leave, Feng Xiuyun gave her a look and told her to be careful, and then also withdrew from the dormitory.
Walking outside, the emperor finally let out a long sigh, turned his head and looked inside, and then said to Feng Xiuyun while walking: "A few days ago, the criminal army Chen Shu said that there were flower thieves rampant in the Beijing Division, and he singled out the women of cardamom to start, and he has not been caught. Now that I think about it, if it's really like what this kid said, it's to take the blood of those virgins to refine Gu poison, I'm afraid there is a ...... behind this."
The emperor sighed heavily again, and Feng Xiuyun also understood what he was referring to, although a civil case is a big case, if it involves the royal family, the essence is very different.
"Father is too worried."
The emperor shook his head, when he won the throne, the former harem was the same as it is now, and I don't know if it is the reincarnation of heaven, I am afraid that it is now a beginning. Thinking about it, his face became more and more gloomy, and finally snorted coldly, and said to Feng Xiuyun on the side: "You go and close Fang Cai's case first, you can't help here, let's go back today." ”
The matter is serious, and there is Diexi waiting here, Feng Xiuyun nodded yes, respectfully bowed and sent the emperor away, and then left the palace and returned home.
Diexi has been staying in this Shoukang Palace for two days, of course she knows that this dragon horn python haunted ghost is not so easy to catch, but the anxiety in her heart is getting longer and longer. After serving the Queen Mother's meal, she endured the uneasiness in her heart and brought the Queen Mother's treasured guzheng to stroke the song "Water Lotus" for her.
"Xiaoxi's piano is not as good as before, but the empress dowager's grandmother still hears it." The Queen Mother has changed some detoxifying medicine in the past few days, and her spirit has improved slightly, leaning on the bed and looking at Diexi, she couldn't help but "hey", and beckoned to her, "You come." ”
Diexi took off the prosthetic armor in her hand, Yingying walked to the bedside, leaned down to listen to the Queen Mother.
"The first time the mourning family saw you, they felt that you and the first queen were the same when they were young. You don't know, the emperor was high-spirited when he was young, and Jin Ge Iron Horse was arrogant, although he was not favored, he was a bloody man. The mourning family thought that if he found a lady, it must be a vulgar thing in his eyes, so he just stuffed the first queen to him. ”
Diexi didn't know what to do, and pulled the corners of her mouth in response, while tucking the quilt for her and listening to her continue.
"The first queen was not lucky to go early, and then the emperor had a virtuous concubine, and the sorrow in his heart was reduced. The mourning family watched Xiuyun's child grow up, and he was really the same as the emperor, you see, this is fate. ”
"That's what the Queen Mother said." Diexi is a little perfunctory, thinking that it may be that she is declining, so she will always recall the past.
The Queen Mother still looked at her with a kind face, and nodded thoughtfully.
At this time, the grandmother outside the door came in and reported, "Queen Mother, His Royal Highness the King of Jin has come to visit you." ”
"It's Xiuang's boy, let him in." The Queen Mother patted Diexi's hand and said to her, "Xiaoxi, let's retreat and rest first." ”
Diexi blessed her body, and when she exited the door, she met King Jin who was about to enter the door, and she immediately lowered her head slightly and respectfully asked for peace, "The concubine asks His Royal Highness King Jin for peace." ”
"Get up." King Jin looked Diexi up and down, grinned at the corners of his mouth, and snorted coldly with disdain in his heart, it was this stinky girl who ruined her good deeds.
