Chapter 551 Cannon Fodder Between Factory Flower and Empress Dowager 6
Otherwise, when the time comes, even if except for Chen Sinian and Bai Rongbo, a mentally unstable emperor will be difficult to be accepted by civil and military officials.
I have to say that the two of them are meticulous in their minds and vicious in their methods, which is breathtaking, Chen Sinian and Bai Rongbo will never allow any accidents to appear under their noses.
Even the little emperor who had planned to get rid of them didn't let go, and with such two people as enemies, one can imagine how difficult it was in front of Gu Xiaoxiao.
Previously, when Gu Xiaoxiao first entered the mission, the act of smashing the cup was very different from the original owner's personality, and there was a slight deterrence to the palace people. But it is still difficult to completely make them obedient, she has been alone for less than half an hour, and there are already palace people outside the curtain to ask and serve.
Gu Xiaoxiao glanced coldly at the pink-clothed palace maid through the curtain, she was not a face-to-face person, her name was Shui Zhu who she brought from the Wu Mansion, but now she should have taken refuge in Bai Rongbo.
"Bring a cup of Tianxiang Dew to the main palace, and prepare some light pastries."
Gu Xiaoxiao commanded lightly, trying her best to imitate Wu Baozhu's mood, as soon as she entered the task, she always had to be cautious so as not to show her feet.
Shui Zhu bowed his head and retreated slowly, and then there were two palace maids standing next to the bead curtain, Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't even spend time alone at will, which brought inconvenience to her in the future.
It was still early, and before it was time to hold the lamp, Gu Xiaoxiao asked the palace people to bring a few books over.
In less than half an hour, the book was presented, Gu Xiaoxiao only glanced at it, and there were some cramps in the corners of his eyes, what "Words Between Flowers", "Yulou Anthology", "Words of Eternal Life", "Collection of Words of Chu State".
It's all poetry and songs, this is really the original owner's preference, Gu Xiaoxiao pressed her hand on her eyebrows, and said lazily: "These mourners are tired of watching, change some history books and travelogues." ”
The palace man who knelt on the ground hung his head and said respectfully: "Empress Dowager Qiyu, in the Luming study of Kunning Palace, only the poems and songs of the past dynasties are collected. ”
A little palace maid with no grade was so neat in front of the Queen Mother, and she said a string of words, which couldn't help but arouse Gu Xiaoxiao's interest.
Whether she said this to be lazy or to invite credit, she showed her face in front of her.
"Raise your head, this palace listens to your voice a little tender."
The palace maid raised her head according to her words, with light eyebrows and a pair of smart eyes: "The Queen Mother Shengming, the slave and maid Sequoia have just been transferred to Kunning Palace, and I hope the Queen Mother will send it." ”
is a newcomer, Gu Xiaoxiao kept her face in her heart, and planned to observe for a while to see if she was a spy sent by Chen Sinian or Bai Rongbo.
"Well, it's not bad to be born, go to Taiqing Building to get more books, and come back to Aunt Ping to receive the reward."
Sequoia was overjoyed when she heard this, and thanked the Queen Mother again, she only entered Kunning Palace to get this grace, and her heart was very happy.
Aunt Ping is a female official of the palace order, and the Queen Mother of the Ping era is in charge of the affairs of Kunning Palace.
That's all Sequoia knows, she is from a civilian background, and her eyelids are shallow, although everyone privately says that the Queen Mother is a mud Bodhisattva, as long as she doesn't offend her there, she really wants to please the Queen Mother, and that's the real Buddha.
Sequoia, who can barely read a few words and can settle accounts, doesn't think so, the queen mother hugs back and forth, and it is difficult to get her blue eyes like the sky, so it is better to please the queen mother.
I heard that before the queen mother entered the palace, everyone was beautiful, and the dowry was not covered for ten miles, as long as the queen mother leaked a little from her hands, her life would be better.
Sequoia does not seek to be rich and rich, but only to be able to settle down, and when she is in her twenties, she asks for a grace in front of the queen mother, and she goes out of the palace to marry early.
The reason why she left her hometown and entered the palace was because she didn't want to marry a rich man of her age as a concubine.
Taiqing Building is located in the northwest of the Chongzheng Hall of the Imperial Palace, in the back garden of Yingyang Gate, there is a distance from Kunning Palace, it is the largest hiding place in the harem, there are four libraries of books stored in it, scriptures, history, children, sets, astronomy, pictures, etc.
Shui Zhu brought up the dim sum and Tianxiang dew, and waited quietly aside, no one looked up, but Gu Xiaoxiao could feel that there was definitely someone in the dark watching her whereabouts.
Who will it be?
Gu Xiaoxiao refused the palace serving, sat on the low couch, stretched out her hand to taste the rose-colored pastry that melted in her mouth, and on the other hand, she did not forget to observe the heavenly fragrance dew in the cup.
The mellow color of Tianxiang Dew is a bit like wine, with a sweet taste, and you can't smell anything when you smell it carefully.
What was added to it, Gu Xiaoxiao's first suspicion was poppy, followed by five stone scatter, but these things, if they were put into the heavenly fragrance dew, they would definitely be revealed.
The mandala also has the effect of making people delirious, Gu Xiaoxiao has studied Chinese and Western medicine in the mission world, and she also has a certain understanding of the toxicity of various plants and drugs, as long as she can find out the hallucinogenic ingredients in the heavenly fragrance dew, she can find a solution.
But in the absence of a variety of test-tube tools, it can be difficult to figure out what's in it.
After eating another bite of the soft and glutinous snack, Gu Xiaoxiao rinsed her mouth with water to make sure that there was no odor in her mouth.
Then, she reached out and picked up the transparent glass cup, the orange-red liquid rippled slightly, Gu Xiaoxiao closed her eyes slightly, as if she was enjoying it very much, and took a small sip gently.
Tianxiang dew is not irritating to drink at all, the entrance is first faintly sweet, and then a warm feeling rolls on the tip of the tongue, all the taste buds seem to open at the same time, and the cool sweetness slides all the way down into the heart.
Gu Xiaoxiao carefully tasted the aftertaste between her lips and teeth, not missing every trace of feeling, in addition to the sweetness, there was also a little bit of milk fragrance, very weak, weak Gu Xiaoxiao almost thought it was her own hallucination.
After tasting for about half an hour, she finally took a second sip, this time Gu Xiaoxiao was more focused, and after careful identification, she was seven points sure that there were oleander leaves or flowers in the Tianxiang Dew.
In addition, there may be other poisonous plants, but as long as you grasp the main contradiction, everything will be solved.
Gu Xiaoxiao calmed down, her eyelids sank, and she pretended to be sleepy and said, "Take the things down, the mourning family wants to take a nap." ”
Shuizhu removed the tray, and Huali laid a bed for Gu Xiaoxiao, covered with green feathers and silk, shrouded in brocade tents, flat and meticulous.
Although it is a small rest, it can't be sloppy, Su Hexiang also lit up, and the palace people walked slowly, for fear of disturbing the queen mother's sleep.
After Gu Xiaoxiao lay down, the curtain was lowered, the bed was big enough, the palace people retreated a few meters away, she had enough space to think about how to solve the poison of the heavenly fragrance dew here.
The prescription was easy to prescribe, but the original owner didn't know medical theory at all before, so she suddenly prescribed a prescription, as long as Chen Sinian and Bai Rongbo were not stupid, they would take her house over and study it carefully.
Although she thinks her medical skills are good, she has not prescribed a prescription to be independent, and no one can see the extent of its effectiveness.
The person who brewed the heavenly fragrance dew, after reading this recipe, must be able to see some clues.
In addition, it is impossible for her to boil the medicine herself, and if there is an accident in the process of decoction, the antidote will turn into poison.
Gu Xiaoxiao pressed the soft silk quilt, and her mood became heavy for no reason, so the top priority was to get in touch with the outside world to get some help.
She pinched her fingers and counted all the people she could see in the harem, and only found one person who might be usable - Feng Yuzhu, the current director of the Yiluan Division.
This name sounds a little uninhibited, but Feng Yuzhu is a loyal person, otherwise he would not have hindered Chen Sinian's eyes, and he was framed by him, and he was directly thrown to Xihua Gate to guard the city gate.
The director of the dignified Yiluan Division, flew directly down to 3,000 feet, which was unbearable, Feng Yu stopped indignantly and hung up his crown.
It's a pity that the Feng family's concession did not change Chen Sinian's hand, because of the Feng family's influence in Yiluan's division that cannot be ignored, Chen Sinian still made a move against the Feng family.
There is a very important reason why Gu Xiaoxiao chose to cooperate with Fengyu, that is, Yiluan Si is subordinate to the emperor, and he is one of the few foreign men who can go straight to the palace except for the inner guards.
The difficulty of meeting with Feng Yu is far less than that of Min Ze, and after gaining Feng Yu's trust, Gu Xiaoxiao can contact more people through him, and he is not trapped in the Kunning Palace in the harem like now, and he has no power to resist in the face of the frost sword and snow sword.
When Sequoia came back with a large stack of books in Taiqing Building with the waist card of Kunning Palace, she heard that the Queen Mother was taking a nap, and with a feeling of loss, she put the books she received in the study.
After Gu Xiaoxiao took a break, she went to the study to read the books sent by Sequoia, and it was nearly two hours, and her body was a little unbearable, so she went back to the dormitory to rest.
There is Yan Ruyu in the book, there is a golden house in the book, the ancients are honest and do not deceive me, Gu Xiaoxiao really found an interesting thing from the history books.
She only knew from Wu Baozhu's memory that the imperial palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty had been renovated, expanded and rebuilt several times, and had been used for nearly a thousand years, but she saw a very interesting thing from the wild history.
It is said that in the state of Chu five hundred years ago, for 20 consecutive years, the world was peaceful and the five grains were abundant, and Emperor Wen of Chu at that time had built a large number of buildings to expand the entire palace, and at the same time built a treasure secret in the palace, which was full of all kinds of rare treasures offered by the four directions.
Emperor Wen of Chu buried this treasure in the palace, so that when the state of Chu encountered a disaster year in the future, he could take it out to solve the urgent need.
However, the corruption of a country is actually rotten from the root first, and the treasure that Emperor Wen Chu painstakingly buried for his descendants did not come in handy. In order to compete for the throne, the last emperor of Chu State did such an intolerable thing as killing his father, and also slaughtered his brothers on a large scale, and the location and opening method of the secret treasure naturally failed to reach him.
Later, the dynasty changed, and the later emperors had the intention to hunt for treasures, but the inner garden of the palace was splendid, the country was newly established, and if he wanted to find out the treasure, he must completely renovate the palace, so the founding emperor at that time had to give up.
Further back, the change of dynasties, the imperial power continued to change hands, the palace continued to repair, the treasures left by the Chu State became a mystery, and the ups and downs can only be glimpsed from the history books to see its mysterious corner.
Treasures can always arouse people's interest, Gu Xiaoxiao specially wrote down the content on this page, and planned to borrow the architectural drawings of the Great Zhou Palace from the general as a prison when he has time, and use it for research.
If the secret treasure that has been buried for nearly five hundred years is found, it will also be an unexpected joy, Gu Xiaoxiao is now short of people and money.
Naturally, the news of Gu Xiaoxiao's borrowing of books was sent to Chen Sinian and Bai Rongbo's ears. The two didn't doubt this, Wu Baozhu originally loved to read, and his interest was that he was tired of reading poetry and songs, so he turned to look at the subset of scriptures and history.
She threw herself into the book, which was a good thing for Bai Rongbo, it was better than making some outrageous moves, which caused Chen Sinian to think about her.
On the second day, not long after getting up, Gu Xiaoxiao summoned Sequoia and asked her to go to Taiqing Tower to find some books and drawings about the palace architecture.
The prison is located outside the palace, Gu Xiaoxiao thought of her situation, and could only sigh empty, her waist card can be handed out of Kunning Palace, it is a fool's dream.
Sequoia is familiar with the road again this time, although she doesn't know much about the classification of books, and in the vast bookshelves, she can only be stunned.
But she has a sweet mouth and can talk, the person in charge of the classics, in Taiqing Lou is only accompanied by one book every day, and she has to tidy up from time to time to avoid all kinds of fires.
Moreover, Taiqing Lou can't get into Bai Rongbo's eyes, and Chen Sinian doesn't take it seriously, and it is also an honor for them to be able to climb the Queen Mother.
After the book was sent back, Gu Xiaoxiao took the jade bracelet from her wrist and gave it to Sequoia as a reward, she was only happy and smiled and kowtowed several times in succession, and the eyes of Shuizhu and other palace people inevitably showed envy.
Although they were secretly ordered by the Empress Dowager, no one knew that the Empress Dowager was not a good person, and she was very nitpicky and noble, and if she didn't get it right, she would lose half her life, and if she did it well, it would be an errand in her job.
When it comes to rewards, the Empress Dowager is not as generous as the four-year-old little emperor, and Chen Sinian is even more of a master who only enters but does not leave, and his biggest hobby is to collect all kinds of treasures.
Gu Xiaoxiao noticed the envious eyes of the rest of the palace people, her eyes flashed slightly, and her heart was moving, but what she was afraid of was that she would not eat soft and hard.
However, the book was sent back, and Gu Xiaoxiao was forced to stop after reading it for long, but she was happy to stop.
Because the little emperor came, he didn't go to study before he went to the court, so he ran to Kunning Palace first, and he wanted to listen to Gu Xiaoxiao's story.
This made Gu Xiaoxiao angry and funny, but looking at his pitiful big eyes, he couldn't bear to refuse, so he could only say that he would not take an example at the same time, and at the same time asked someone to bring news to the emperor, saying that the little emperor would not go to study until an hour later.
The little emperor was most tired of the master's rambling, so he could go back an hour later, and happily sat on Gu Xiaoxiao's lap.
Gu Xiaoxiao held him in her arms, and while telling a story, she took the opportunity to play a game and pinched his little arms and legs. (To be continued.) )
