At dusk the next day, Mu Yu held the embroidery of Princess Yuling and went to the Chengtian Palace where the emperor lived.

Seeing Ah Suo's extremely unfamiliar face, the little eunuch of Chengtian Hall was a little arrogant, and shouted impatiently: "Which palace, is there a holy will?" ”

"Back to my father-in-law, the slave is the lock of Lingshui Palace, and I was ordered by my master to send embroidery to the emperor, and I hope that the two fathers-in-law will report it!" Mu Yu greeted him with a smile on his face, and stuffed silver into the hands of the two of them as he saluted. This trick was taught by Iris yesterday, and it is said to be very effective.

"Lingshui Palace? Which master does it live in? The two of them asked suspiciously, as they weighed the weight of the silver.

"Back to my father-in-law, the Lingshui Palace lives in Princess Yuling!" Seeing that the two of them were still a little dazed, Mu Yu added: "The queen's biological daughter!" "Sure enough, almost no one in this palace knows about Yuling, so she has to play the name of the queen.

When the two of them heard the queen's mother, they immediately became much more enthusiastic, and one of them nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, I remember that there is such a princess!" ”

The other person also hurriedly said: "The girl will hand over the things to us, and we should present them to the emperor!"

When the pastoral rumor heard it, he retracted his hand, and was a little embarrassed: "But the princess has two words for the slave to say to the emperor herself!" ”

"This ......" The two didn't know that things were so troublesome, and said with some hesitation: "But the queen mother has orders, the holy dragon is not in good health, and needs to recuperate, and no one is allowed to disturb without permission." ”

Mu Yu smiled and said: "The two fathers-in-law are really loyal!" It is precisely because of the lack of health in the holy dragon that the princess wants to do her filial piety, after all, she is the daughter of the queen's mother, even if the mother knows, she will not be angry! The princess's heart has been expressed, and naturally she will not forget to praise the two in front of the mother! ”

Both of them are people who want to climb the power and attach to the nobles, hearing her say this, their hearts are a little itchy, they give each other a look, hesitate for a moment, and finally luck prevails, and said to the herdsman: "You wait here first, and wait for my father-in-law to go in first to report!" ”

"Wait, please present this jade pendant when your father-in-law sees the emperor!" Seeing that the matter was half successful, Mu Yu was very happy.

Seeing that this thing was extraordinary, the eunuch did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly held it with both hands.

A moment later, he appeared on the steps of the temple gate and shouted at the pastoral rumor: "The Holy One has agreed, please come in with our house!" ”

"Thank you father-in-law for leading the way!" Mu Yu hurriedly followed him into the temple gate.

Originally, the Chengtian Hall was just a room for the saints to sleep, and later after the expansion of the emperors, it became a courtyard, with a study, a council hall, a garden, and a small pond.

To the surprise of the herdsman, although from the gate inside, there are guards standing guard every dozens of steps, but this courtyard is not as magnificent as imagined, and the scenery inside is also different from the stiff and heavy imperial style, but a small bridge and flowing water of exquisite grace, it seems that the owner here is a pleasant landscape character.

At this moment, Emperor Shuntian was sitting in the garden resting, holding the squirrel jade pendant presented by the pastoral rumor in his hand and carefully examining it. The strange thing is that there is no one around him except for the eunuch who just led the way, and there are several palace maids and guards standing in the garden, but they are all quite far away.

After seeing the ceremony, I didn't see him speak, so I had to wait patiently.

She peeked out of the corner of her eye, and saw a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table in front of him, and it seemed that he was painting just now, because he couldn't see what he was painting from a distance.

Emperor Shuntian had seen enough, thought enough, and finally asked, "How is the princess recently?" ”

"I don't know if the Holy One wants to hear the truth or a lie!" Mu Yu replied with lowered eyes.

Emperor Shuntian glanced at her and said unhappily: "Bold! You slave and maid are so unruly, do you have such a reply to the master's words? For Ling'er's sake, I will spare you once! Why don't you tell me carefully about the princess's recent situation, if there is half a lie, I will ask for your head!"

"Holy Lord, please stop your anger! The saint dragon is sick, if the slave tells the truth, she is afraid that she will worry the saint, and the queen will definitely blame it. But if you tell a lie, the slave and maid don't dare to bear the sin of bullying the king, so they ask this question. Since the Holy Divine ordered the slave and maid to tell the truth, the slave and maid naturally did not dare to hide anything. ”

She sighed slightly, her tone a little sad, "The princess has been sick for many years at a young age, and her body is weak, and she only suffered from the wind and cold a few days ago, and she has to endure the pain of month after month. But these are not as bitter as in her heart, when the other princes and princesses are under the knees of the Holy Mother, the princess can only stay alone in the house and look forward to the joy that cannot be touched. ”

Seeing that Emperor Shuntian was already a little moved, she said even more emotionally: "The princess often looks at this squirrel jade pendant in a daze, and often weeps alone, the slave doesn't know what she is thinking, but she is also distressed when she looks at it. It wasn't until two days ago that the princess embroidered this cushion without sleep, and ordered the slave to send it to the saint with great caution, that the slave and maid understood that Her Royal Highness the princess was thinking about the saint, and if the saint was willing to go to see the princess, she would be overjoyed! With that, she presented the picture of Xia He with both hands.

While the eunuch took the embroidery and turned around, Mu Yu got up slightly, and quickly glanced at the content of the painting, which turned out to be a flourishing Qionghua. She looked around and saw that there were many trees in the garden, but the flowers were all withered. It's not like the Qionghua painted by Emperor Shuntian is in full bloom, but I didn't expect this emperor to be a person who cherishes flowers in spring.

"You said Ling'er has something to say to me, come and listen!" Emperor Shuntian took the Xia Lotus pillow, and saw that the lotus leaf squatting on the corner of the pillow was not a frog, but a vivid little squirrel, and couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips.

"Back to the saint, the princess said that she wanted to be the carefree squirrel, I wonder if the saint is willing to be the big tree that shelters from the wind and rain?"

When Emperor Shuntian heard this, his face was slightly sad and fell into deep thought.

"Father, father, hug Ling'er!"

The crisp and immature children's voice brought his thoughts to that dusk many years ago, and the gorgeous sunset reflected half of the sky.

A little girl carved in pink and jade ran into his arms with pigtails.

"Ouch, my little Ling'er, you see you jumping up and down the ground all day long, like a princess, but like a squirrel that has to move!" He picked up the girl and pecked lightly on the little jade porcelain-like face, and the stubble in his mouth made the little girl beg for mercy again and again.

"Father, if Ling'er is a squirrel, his father is a big tree, Ling'er wants to make a warm nest in the hole of the big tree, stay with the big tree forever, and never separate!"

"Okay, my father will be Ling'er's big tree, give Ling'er wind and rain, and let Ling'er grow up happily in the nest!"

“……”

At this time, the sky was already a little dark, and the palace lights were lit up all around.

Emperor Shuntian's eyes were filled with tears, as if he saw the little squirrel on the rickety lotus leaf, looking at the cold lake around him in panic......

When did he abandon his most beloved little daughter, it was that woman, everything was that vicious woman!

Emperor Shuntian's eyes turned from sadness to anger, and the old hand clutched the pillow of the plain brocade lotus, and suddenly his face showed pain, knocking over the things on the table to the ground, and the person also leaned back.

"Ah, Your Majesty! The emperor is sick......" The eunuch was shocked and shouted.

Mu Yu's eyes were quick, and he held the fallen Emperor Shuntian with one hand, and the other hand took his pulse.

When the guards behind him heard the shouting, they immediately rushed over, but when they heard that they were sick, they retreated back to their original places. Their task is to protect the emperor's safety, but healing is not their specialty.

The eunuch held the other side of Emperor Shuntian's body and shouted to those palace maids: "What are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you call the Imperial Doctor, you go and fetch some water......"

Mu Yu only felt that his pulse was chaotic, sometimes weak and sometimes strong, she frowned, and suddenly brushed the ground and lifted his sleeves, only to see the blood vessels crawling all over his arm as thick and black as centipedes.

"Ah, you ......" the eunuch had never seen such a situation, and trembled with fright, "You, you are bold, you dare to desecrate the dragon's body, I, I ......"

Mu Yu thought he was noisy, and his eyes glared coldly, scaring his words into his stomach. She stretched out her hand and quickly clicked on several of Emperor Shuntian's big acupoints, stuffed a pill into his mouth, turned her head to the palace maid who brought the water, and said, "Take some Xuan Bing!" ”

When the eunuch saw that she not only touched the emperor's dragon body, but also fed him pills, he was even more frightened and paralyzed, pointing to the pastoral rumor for a long time and couldn't say a word, tears of remorse rolled down, and said in his heart: Today is planted, for a few taels of silver, the assassin was mistakenly regarded as a palace maid, and the emperor's life was harmed, but I am afraid that he will not survive......

The palace maid didn't see the movements of the herdsman, but she was a little flustered when she saw the emperor fainting, and she stammered: "Palace, there is no palace in the palace, there is no Xuan Bing." ”

No! Mu Yu frowned, Situ Yun raised snow toads, he had them there, but far water couldn't save the near fire, it seemed that he had to use a needle to force the poison to one place first. She took out a small cloth belt from her bosom, on which were densely lined with silver needles, which Frost had prepared for her, but fortunately she thought it well and came in handy at this moment.

She took the cloth belt in her hand, turned back to the palace maid behind her and said, "You all retreat, go farther, the emperor needs fresh air." ”

The palace maids glanced at the eunuch and saw that he did not refute, but as if this was also his order, they obediently retreated to the place where they had stood before,

In fact, the eunuch had already been frightened, and he sat on the ground, holding the body of Emperor Shuntian, staring at the pastoral rumor with his eyes stunned, and he couldn't say anything with his mouth open.

Seeing that everyone was far away, Mu Yu opened the cloth belt and began to apply needles, and after a while, Emperor Shuntian's face was much better, and after a while, the centipede on his arm began to gradually become smaller until it disappeared.

When the last needle was pricked, there was a sound at the gate, and a eunuch who looked shrewd led a few imperial doctors and palace maids to come quickly, and reprimanded in his mouth: "How did you serve, our family has only been away for a while, and there is chaos?" ”

Seeing that Emperor Shuntian had woken up, Mu Yu instantly put the silver needle into the cloth belt with a flick of his hand, and the remaining one was sandwiched between his fingers, making a movement of shooting a hidden weapon, and said angrily to the eunuch: "If you say a word that you just saw, I will immediately take your life!" ”

The stupid eunuch was stared at by her like this, and he came back to life, he exhaled heavily, and suddenly felt that the emperor in his arms was moving again, and he was surprised and happy in his heart, and shouted loudly: "The emperor, the emperor ......"

"What happened to the emperor?" The shrewd-looking eunuch had approached and asked with concern.

When he got closer, Mu Yu found that this eunuch was a little familiar, and suddenly remembered that day he and Rongguo Marquis Lin Zhong entered the palace to face the saint, that is, he was serving the emperor, and he thought that he was the person next to the emperor, probably just left for something.
