Chapter 230: Everybody's Counting!
Many people ask about the ending, and the specific time depends on the progress of the writing, which is now two-thirds of the way through.
When Dongyuan chooses a horse, the plot will jump quickly.
(If it's a change, it will be before 10:30 every day, and if you don't change it after that time, everyone will wait for the next day.) So as not to be refreshed all the time, thank you. Bobobo...... )
Get a vaccination first to avoid being scolded. Haha,Familiar girls all know,Erjin has been a naked digger who has not saved the manuscript since the opening of the pit.,If you can't guarantee the update in the past three days.,Please forgive me.。
Little daughters-in-law, Lu Yuan arranged social practice activities, and set off for Henan this afternoon, with a total of three days and then returned to Beijing.
------Off topic------
At the beginning of the summer, Qi's mouth should be, as if there was a yin wind blowing above his head.
"When I returned to Beijing this time, the mourning family will prepare." The Empress Dowager paused, suddenly rolled her eyes, and said with a smile, "This kid Yuanyou has been very idle recently, and the mourning family will hand it over to him to supervise this matter when he turns around." If it is done, the mourning family will point him to a room like a flower. If it can't be done, see if the mourners don't take him and ask. ”
Xia Chuqi smiled lightly and said respectfully: "The Empress Dowager's phoenix body has not healed, and everyone in the court is worried about it, not me." Without further ado, the Empress Dowager has to hurry up about the alchemy pill. ”
"That's good, you, a filial child."
The Empress Dowager stared at her and nodded.
Xia Chuqi thought like this, but he didn't notice what she meant at all, casually snorted a haha, and laughed dryly, "It stands to reason that I should treat the Empress Dowager, and I shouldn't be rewarded." But you guessed it right, I still pretend to be him in my heart, so I'll sell him a favor and wait to receive the reward of the Empress Dowager, right? ”
Terrible!
The "some face" she said sounded fine. But after arguing carefully, it was easy to hear that what she meant was that if something happened to her, Cui Yingda would not spare her and Zhao Shijiu.
Talking to this old woman, Xia Chuqi was very entangled.
"It's for you, but it's also for mourning your family." The Empress Dowager will always have a gentle and smiling face, "No matter how bad the old nineteen is, after all, he was raised by a mourning family." How can the mourners watch and stand idly by? Don't worry, Cui Yingda's there, the mourning family still has some face. ”
"Since he is a man of thin nature, what do you keep him for?" At the beginning of the summer, Qiqiang suppressed the scorn in his heart and smiled softly.
Her sycophants were not thick or light, and she just hit the queen mother's fate, only to hear a "heh", she smiled, "You little girl's eyes, where can you hide your heart?" You, still reading the old nineteen...... It's a pity that the old nineteen him, alas! Most men are thin, and you don't have to take it to heart. ”
"The Empress Dowager has such shrewd eyes."
She knew that what she expected was true, so she couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at the Empress Dowager, was silent for a moment, handed the ointment on the table to Aunt Yu, and motioned for her to apply the bruised wound under the shoulder for the Empress Dowager.
A sentence that is not light or heavy, I heard Xia Chuqi's heart "chuckle", and his hands and feet were cold.
"You know. With it, there would be no Zhao Nineteen. ”
The Empress Dowager glanced at her and snorted as if she were nothing.
"The Empress Dowager laughed, since it is a holy decree for His Royal Highness the King of Jin, how can it be given to others?"
She understood, but pretended not to understand.
At this time, the old woman said that she would give her the holy decree, naturally not just to joke with her, or really to reward her. Obviously, there is enough in this holy decree to threaten Zhao Shijiu, and the old woman wants to use it to blackmail her into treating her wholeheartedly. Otherwise, the will would be unfavorable to Zhao Shijiu.
Looking at the smile on her face, Xia Chuqi's heart was cold.
"Hong Taiye's order before the accident in Yujingyuan." The Empress Dowager explained, the smile on her lips remained unchanged, "At that time, there were two holy decrees, one was for Mianze, and he was appointed as the prince. And there is another one that is reserved for the old nineteen. These two holy decrees, Emperor Hong Tai put them in Cui Yingda. ”
"Divine decree?" Xia Chuqi was stunned, "What holy decree?" ”
The Empress Dowager smiled slightly, "A holy decree." ”
"And a big reward?" Xia Chuqi squinted slightly, deliberately revealing a greedy face, "Thank you Queen Mother, I will do my best." I just don't know...... I don't know what the Queen Mother wants to reward me? ”
"Get up and speak." The Empress Dowager didn't seem to have seen her kneeling on the ground before, so she remembered to raise her hand and let Aunt Yu take a seat for her, caressing the thin and soft silk quilt on her knees, and smiled slightly, "If this time, you can refine the golden pill for the mourning family and help the mourning family get rid of the pain. ”
Xia Chuqi was overjoyed, and kowtowed: "Empress Dowager Xie." ”
"The mourning family believes in you," the Empress Dowager interrupted her, her voice suddenly becoming much more solemn, "you are a benevolent healer. The life of the mourning family is thanks to you. ”
Xia Chuqi held his knees and sighed helplessly, "If I had the intention to deceive you, I would have deceived you two years ago." At that time, the imperial physicians in the palace asserted that there was no cure for your illness, if it weren't for me......"
It seems that her deeds of greed for money have spread far and wide.
Have it?
"Everyone knows that you have the best money, and you don't have mercy when it comes to attracting people."
Don't look at her injuries and weakness, but the words she said were as sharp as a needle.
The Empress Dowager looked at her and laughed suddenly.
"The Empress Dowager's current illness is already in a terminal state, and if it is a conventional treatment, I am afraid that time is running out. There is a saying that is a little ugly, but it is extremely true: a dead horse is a live horse doctor. It's better to try than not to try. ”
Kneeling on the ground, she endured the sin of her knees and spoke earnestly.
Xia Chuqi was startled, so nervous that he almost lost his soul. However, in an instant she came back to her senses, this old woman is not easy to fool, but she is not completely unconvinced, this is to infer the truth from her reaction. This kind of person never trusts other people's mouths, only their own eyes.
Hearing her say something serious, the Empress Dowager looked at her, pondered for a moment, and suddenly sighed, "Girl, why are you so deliberately coaxing the mourning family?" ”
"If not, how can it be called Jindan?"
"All red gold?"
"Empress Dowager, this Dan cannot be smelted with an ordinary furnace. Not only does the Dan furnace need to be built with red gold, but also the red financial medicine, the red gold ignites the fire, the red gold burns the calcine, and the red gold burns for 49 days. And it needs a sincere person to refine it. ”
"That's right, then it's called Jindan." Xia Chuqi said a word to Amitabha Buddha in his heart, and first comforted her family's ancestors, grandparents, and grandparents, and then straightened her face, looking more serious than ever.
"Golden Fire Tempering, Jin Dan?"
The Empress Dowager was stunned by those spring, summer, autumn and winter medicine primers, but she was distracted by her last words.
At the end of this quotation, she added her own purpose, "It is contained in the golden altar, and then after 7749 days of tempering with golden fire, you can obtain the golden pill of healing." ”
"Empress Dowager Xie." At the beginning of the summer, the beads of the seven eyes were turning, thinking of Xue Baochai's cold incense pill, he cleared his throat and said, "This party wants twelve taels of white peony stamens that bloom in spring, twelve taels of white lotus stamens that bloom in summer, twelve taels of white hibiscus stamens in autumn, and twelve taels of white plum stamens in winter." The four stamens are dried at the spring equinox of the following year, and they are ground together with the end of the medicine. Twelve coins of rain for rain, twelve denins of dew for white dew, twelve denins of frost for frost, twelve denins of snow for light snow. Mix the four kinds of water thoroughly, mix the medicine, add 12 coins of honey, 12 coins of sugar, and pill the balls the size of longan, and put them in ......"
"Say! The mourners will not repounce you. ”
Xia Chuqi frowned and said softly, "Returning to the Empress Dowager, it's not that I don't want to say it, it's really that the medicine is too difficult to extract, and there will be a suspicion of making things difficult." ”
"Say, what kind of medicine do you want?"
With a stiff face, the Empress Dowager's originally unstable qi and blood surged up again, coughed a few times, and sighed helplessly.
She said all this, if she was not "kind-hearted" and insisted on blaming this matter, wouldn't it be true?
The Empress Dowager glanced at Aunt Yu.
Aunt Yu's words made Xia Chuqi's heart happy. Unexpectedly, Qinglan's gold did not have white flowers, and she sent a bunch of useless things to her that night, which also had a little effect. In the end, although Aunt Yu can't play a big role, at a critical time, some innocuous words are also very "colorful" for her.
Light "Oh? With a sound, the Empress Dowager looked gloomy, coughed, and did not speak. Aunt Yu glanced at her, but her nervous face relaxed, and she said with a smile, "Miss Seven, you are really, today, what other precious medicine is there that the Queen Mother can't afford?" Look at you, two years ago you said there was no way, and now you say there is a way. This is the Empress Dowager's kindness and kindness, if you change someone else, you will be questioned for deceiving and concealing it like this. ”
Xia Chuqi was silent, raised his head to look at her, and said seriously, "The disease of tumor is extremely dangerous, and it is a terminal disease. But in my family's medical book, there is an ancestor's prescription. It's just that the medicine is very rare, and it is not easy to refine......"
Sure enough, no one believes the truth, and it is easier to coax people with falsehoods.
"You! It's so hard to hide from the mourning family, why don't you hurry up? ”
People like the Empress Dowager are extremely conceited. If Xia Chuqi directly told her that she "hid her selfishness", she would definitely not believe it, and thought that she was going to play some conspiracy again, but now she saw it herself, but she was relieved and believed it.
Xia Chuqi supported the ground with both hands, leaned forward, protected his stomach, and lowered his chin and said, "The Empress Dowager's tumor, I said at the beginning that it was because of the poison of meteorite radiation, there is no cure, and it can only be regulated, in fact, ...... I have a way. ”
The Empress Dowager's face sank, "What are you guilty of?" ”
As if thinking about it for a while, she bit her lower lip fiercely, put down her perfunctory suddenly, slowly knelt down, and silently mourned for her knees for a moment before she panicked: "The Empress Dowager forgives her sins-"
Xia Chuqi smiled in his heart. How could she die? To cure nature is to be cured. However, it is necessary to cure not only the body, but also the mind.
"If not, why don't you want to treat the mourning family again?"
Still, it's a little bit worse. She raised her eyebrows, "Why did the Empress Dowager say this?" ”
I have to say that the empress dowager was seriously injured, and she became the pitiful old grandmother who was sick in bed at the beginning, so that Xia Chuqi, who has always regarded herself as a medical virtue, almost committed pity again.
When people are not sick, they do not show such a vulnerable side.
"Girl, do you blame me?"
Normal people are eager to show credit for themselves, but she is humble. So, the more modest she was, the more she refused to admit it, and the more the Empress Dowager felt that she had kept a hand, but she refused to treat herself anymore. Moreover, the irony in her sentence "Concentrate on the Buddha and do good deeds and accumulate virtue" is enough for her to wonder why she is sick.
Xia Chuqi snorted coldly in his heart, but his face did not show contempt, his expression was solemn, and he looked at her carefully for a moment before saying, "More than two years ago, I clearly told the Empress Dowager that this 'poison' has spread into the lungs and formed tumors on the lungs, and there is no specific medicine to treat, so you have to rely on your own fate and fight against the poison." I think it is because you have devoted yourself to the Buddha in the past two years, cultivated yourself, done good deeds and accumulated virtues, and received the blessing of the Bodhisattva, which scared off the disease, and it really has nothing to do with my prescription. ”
A golden cure? Employing people forward, not facing backwards?
"Hurt as he said?" With a light snort, the Empress Dowager smiled, her eyes were deeply wrinkled, and she narrowed even harder, but she didn't ask anymore, but changed the topic, "I won't tell you, even if I don't get kicked by the horse this time, the mourning family is estimated to be alive soon." In recent days, the cough has intensified, and the pain has become more and more unbearable. I don't know if there is a cure for my disease? ”
"None." She shook her head and continued to tinker with the dressing, "The injury is indeed as Doctor Zhang said......
"What happened to the mourning family?"
She is like this, and she has aroused the interest of the Queen Mother.
People are curious.
Xia Chuqi silently sneered, his eyebrows drooped, his eyelashes trembled, and he secretly glanced at her with an expression that looked "very complicated and unfathomable", and quickly withdrew it, biting his lower lip again and again, but he didn't speak.
It turns out that she also knows that she saved her?
"Really?" The Empress Dowager suddenly said in a heavy voice, "More than two years ago, everyone said that the mourning family was 'recovering from the evil wind and becoming a carbuncle for a long time', and you alone diagnosed the mourning family as poisoning. If it weren't for your prescription, how could the mourning family live for two more years? What they say, the mourners don't believe it, but only you. ”
"Nope." Xia Chuqi shook his head, he couldn't help but lift it, and his head drooped even more, "Didn't Imperial Doctor Zhang say it before, this time the injury is not serious, and it will be good to recuperate slowly......"
Seeing that her mood was wrong, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but raise her eyebrows in confusion, "Do you have something to hide from me?" ”
Xia Chuqi was lowering her head to tinker with the dressing, gently brushing the messy hair on her forehead, she didn't look up, pretending to be very dedicated, and said in her mouth, "Frightened horses go crazy, shock the internal organs, at this moment and a half, where can get better, it will take some time." ”
"Girl, why is there still blood?" Her complexion changed.
The time had passed, and the Empress Dowager took the medicine, leaning on the head of the bed weakly, occasionally coughing twice, sometimes heavy and sometimes slow, and never stopped. But when she spread out the handkerchief covering her mouth, she found two dark plum-like reds on it.
Outside the Shoto Temple, a small pine forest was planted. Under the breeze, although there is no "pine wave", there is also a "rustle" sound.
~
"It's clearly him, forcing me to have no way out-"
Amr shook off her hand, and his eyes were colder than the night.
"The Queen Mother ......" the little palace maid carefully helped her.
Behind a wisteria trellis in the corner of the wall, a slender figure shook slightly, as if she couldn't stand, and I don't know how long she had been standing there, clutching the silk scarf in her hand, and her long nails almost got into the flesh.
He stood there for a long time, and finally left.
After that, Zhao Bottle no longer gave him a chance to speak, and was already in the faint fragrance of wisteria flowers, brushing his sleeves and disappearing. From beginning to end, both of them were smiling and polite, and they didn't sound like gunpowder. But only Dongfang Qingxuan himself knew that all his internal organs were about to be scorched by this person's "viciousness".
Zhao Tsuru snorted and patted him on the shoulder, "You'd better pray that my Ah Qi is well." Otherwise, you will not be blessed with my family. ”
Dongfang Qingxuan's eyebrows were closed, and he smiled enchantingly, "Then let's try it?" ”
"People don't feel bad for themselves, but they are bad for themselves. Dongfang Qingxuan, I warn you again, if you don't want to do it, I will do it myself. Zhao Zhu's cold voice fell, and he threw his words back, "Don't you regret it then?" ”
Dongfang Qingxuan was stunned for a moment, seeing that he was really infected by Chu Qi's "disease", he couldn't help crying and laughing. But after thinking about it, Zhao Zhu planned to kill the Quartet, and now he should be proud. And the mess that Amur left him, he didn't know how to end it, and he couldn't help but sigh a little, "Didn't you deliberately spoil people?" After a pause, the corners of his lips slowly opened an arc, as if he was smiling, "However, Your Royal Highness King Jin, since you refuse to help, if I can't help but do something drastic, don't regret it at that time?" ”
Zhao Zhu remained silent and flirted seriously, "If you don't change, I won't change." ”
Dongfang Qingxuan also smiled, and Ying Ying showed a romantic attitude, "I hope you can keep this heart forever." ”
Zhao Jun squinted, and the corners of his lips seemed to be hooked, "This king is not ruthless to you?" ”
Dongfang Qingxuan's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, staring at Zhao Zhu's face fixedly, bringing out a touch of coolness, "Tianlu, you are really a ruthless person." ”
Zhao Zhu glanced at him coldly, and said lightly again: "In this world, there are many women who have a deep affection for this king, if according to the will of the Dongfang Lord, this king is responsible for everything, then he must not be exhausted to death?" ”
Dongfang Qingxuan was silent for a long time, and a pair of starry eyes that were always smiling floated with a thin layer of haze.
In other words, Dongfang Qingxuan explained so many words before, and it had nothing to do with him Zhao Shijiu. In other words, the people and things he said never reached his ears or his heart.
In addition, without it, it sounds very simple literally, but it has a lot of connotations.
"Nothing else." In the end, he reiterated four more words.
"This king will never provoke others for no reason. If you want to make a move, it's just to protect the people you want to protect. ”
Zhao Bottle held his hand, his long figure was more graceful under the shadow of the lamp, and when he squinted at Dongfang Qingxuan, his eyes flew like a scraping blade.
With a light sigh, Dongfang Qingxuan's eyes were slightly cold, "What does that have to do with it?" ”
Zhao Zhu seemed to be impatient to listen to it, and interrupted Dongfang Qingxuan's words. But a misunderstanding, he said it ambiguously. Dongfang Qing Xuanfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, thinking that he was going to say that he really didn't design this serial plan, but he didn't expect that he just explained lukewarmly, "No matter what this king does, it has nothing to do with others." ”
"Lord Dongfang has misunderstood."
"Tianlu!" Dongfang Qingxuan's eyebrows sank, and he finally sighed. His expression was slightly tired, as if a traveler who had traveled thousands of miles had returned home and seen his relatives, and he said with deep affection, "Amur is so affectionate to you, and you are so ruthless?" I know you've always held a grudge against what happened back then. But when she married into the East Palace, she was not voluntary, and she had no intention of betraying you, so under such circumstances, what should you do if you let him be a weak woman? Now, she has indeed gone astray, but she is also being blinded......"
Zhao Zhu's amusing answer made Dongfang Qingxuan slightly stunned, and his brows furrowed. But after examining it for a long time, he didn't find the slightest murderous aura in Zhao Zhu's eyes, as if those things really had nothing to do with him.
"I don't understand."
"You know."
"Lord Dongfang's words, this king can't understand."
Dongfang Qingxuan asked playfully, Zhao Zhu was only puzzled, and the corners of his lips pursed slightly.
"Your Highness is so calculating!"
Dongfang Qingxuan walked behind Zhao Bottle, and the two of them walked out of the gate of Songtao Courtyard one after the other. But in the discussion of the ministers, they all tacitly slowed down. The two transcendent figures, one red and one black, under the silhouette of the swaying light in the breeze, look like a fairy tree and a jade tree, and the atmosphere is magnificent. It's just that one is cool, the other is smiling, and the emotions on his face are diametrically opposed.
The gentle smile on the corner of Zhao Mianze's lips was no different from usual, but there was a coolness in his voice. The princes and ministers present rarely saw such an impatient expression on his face, exchanged a look with each other, and exchanged a few polite words, and finally took their leave and left.
"Aiqing people are all tired today, so there is no need to be formal. Moreover, people are blocked here, which also disturbs the Empress Dowager's recuperation. ”
You must know that everyone knows that Wulan Mingzhu previously favored the harem, and the daughter of the Lu family, Lu Xiu, has followed Zhao Mianze since she was in the East Palace, not only has she not seen news for a long time, but Zhao Mianze rarely stepped into her palace, but his daughter is not a person who loves to compete for favor, which makes him heartbroken. When Xia Chuqi said congratulations, when he heard that Wulan Mingzhu was pregnant, he and those courtiers who had daughters and granddaughters entered the palace, their hearts were cold, but they said "festival mourning" again, but they fell to the ground.
That's right, it's joy.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is merciful and the most sympathetic. But her old man's gold and jade are damaged, so we should naturally stay and do our filial piety! Everyone expressed that they should "carry out filial piety to the end". The performance of Lu Huaming, the secretary of the ministry, especially has the style of filial piety and virtuous grandson. But on the corner of his lips, if he argues carefully, there is a faint hint of joy.
"Everyone, Aiqing!" Zhao Mianze, who had been walking around with his hands on his shoulders, glanced at the people who were sighing for a long time, and probably felt that there were too many people to suck the air thin and uncomfortable, and sighed, "The Empress Dowager has always been generous, and she can't bear to worry about her ministers." Since she has a will, she is sympathetic to you. In this case, you don't have to stay here, just go for yourself. ”
Some people are grateful for God's mercy, fortunately the Queen Mother is fine, and some people sigh that Miss Xia Qi turned out to be Hua Lun alive, and she didn't get a few hits on the school field before, and the Queen Mother stopped vomiting blood, but now the silver needle is cast, which actually makes the Queen Mother relieved. However, although Imperial Physician Zhang said that the old ancestor asked her to go back to rest, she still hasn't drunk the old man's medicine, no one has seen her, she hasn't been invited, and her loyalty has not yet been expressed, who would dare to go down and sleep like this?
The people in the outer room looked at each other and talked about it.
Dr. Zhang, who went with her to treat the Empress Dowager, came out, only saying that the Empress Dowager had injured her internal organs, and after Miss Seven administered the needle to her, the person had been relieved, and the bleeding from the internal organs had stopped, and he and Miss Seven discussed a treatment prescription inside, and he came out to prescribe the prescription and was responsible for decocting the medicine, and the Empress Dowager left Miss Seven alone to narrate, and said that His Majesty and the ministers should disperse and rest, and there was no need to wait outside.
At the beginning of the summer, I entered the inner room on the seventh day of the month, and I already had a cup of tea.
Except for the officials of the Ministry of Rites who went to place the envoys of Beidi, all the princes and ministers of Dayan did not go to bed, and gathered in the outer room of Songtao Courtyard, respectfully waiting for the news inside.
When such a thing happens, it is a big deal for the country and the people.
The night was late, the banquet was over, and the entire East Garden seemed to be shrouded in a melancholy and bitter rain.
The dismal departure of Wulan Mingzhu with a miscarriage and the serious injury of the Empress Dowager being trampled on the shoulder by a horse made the original joyful "Wucha Banquet" unable to eat it anymore.
