Chapter 400: Breaking the Identity
After formulating these two extremely heavy decrees for Emperor Ming.
The physical strength that was supported by Old Man Ding's pill was completely exhausted after all.
Seeing that Emperor Ming slowly fell into a coma again, Xiao Jinxuan and Zhou Xianrui withdrew from the dormitory.
After all, there is still King Yongchang here, and there will not be any big problems in a short period of time.
And when Zhou Xianrui looked at the marriage decree in his hand a few times, and then looked at Xiao Jinxuan beside him, he said in a low voice:
"Jinxuan, don't worry, although this marriage contract is known to the king, it is just a scene played by you and me. But this king will definitely prepare for you to be treated as a concubine, even if it is only ten days in a hurry, I will definitely ask you to marry into the Rui Palace. ”
This man can have three wives and four concubines, but for a woman, the marriage can almost be said to be only once in a lifetime.
Who doesn't look forward to their husband's rich dowry, red silk all over the streets, and a beautiful ceremony to marry themselves.
But now Zhou Xianrui has put everything that women are looking forward to in front of Xiao Jinxuan.
But for Xiao Jinxuan, without Zhou Xianyu's wedding, there is no color joy at all in the scenery.
Therefore, after shaking her head slightly, Xiao Jinxuan didn't even have a trace of emotional fluctuations, but just replied very coldly:
"Your Highness should not bother preparing for the big wedding, it is better to contact the important ministers in the past few days to stabilize the strength against the Prime Minister's Mansion, this is the most important thing you should do now. After all, it's just an acting, and on the day of the wedding, you and I just need to play our respective roles. Then let everyone know that from now on, behind your Royal Highness King Rui, there will be the support of my Shuai Mansion Xiao family, then this will achieve the goal we want. ”
Xiao Jinxuan, who was just talking with a slight bow, didn't even glance at Zhou Xianrui after being silent for a while, and then continued with a hint of sadness:
On the day of the wedding, Jinxuan hoped that all the cumbersome steps that could be saved, such as making trouble with the groom and kicking the sedan chair, would be removed. As long as the main wedding regulations are completed, I hope that His Highness will grant my request. ”
If Zhou Xianyu hadn't gone on the expedition, the wedding in mid-July, the groom that Xiao Jinxuan was looking forward to should be the other party.
But now that the younger brother has become the elder brother, everything is not what Xiao Jinxuan is looking forward to.
Therefore, the wedding time is more than a moment, for her, it is tantamount to a kind of torment and torture.
Hearing Xiao Jinxuan's request, Zhou Xianrui's handsome face couldn't help but flash a trace of obvious pity and loss.
When marrying Shen Qing and the side concubine Xue Yuyan, because these two daughters were actually not Zhou Xianrui's favorite, but because of the political marriage.
Therefore, when the big wedding was held, he had always been concentrating on the affairs of the imperial court, and he didn't even ask about the preparations for the big wedding, and it was all handled by Yu An, the chief housekeeper of the Rui Wangfu.
But now Zhou Xianrui wants to arrange a grand wedding for the woman he likes.
Even if he knew that it was just a play, he still wanted to put the best and prepare all for Xiao Jinxuan.
But I didn't expect that such a small expectation in my heart was now rejected by Xiao Jinxuan in person.
If he is not disappointed at all, even if he is as calm and calm as Zhou Xianrui, he is actually a little uncomfortable in his heart.
However, Zhou Xianrui, who has always been happy, angry and sad, will not be written on his face.
It's hard to hurt him, he would rather be **** alone, and he really can't bear to refuse any of Xiao Jinxuan's requests to him.
Therefore, he showed a smile that seemed to be indifferent, and Zhou Xianrui said accommodatingly:
"Since Jinxuan, you don't want to come to the marriage with great fanfare, then this king will naturally do everything according to your wishes. Now that the palace is not safe, this king will send you back to the Shuaifu. Then I will immediately return to the palace and take matters with the many ministers waiting there. ”
But as soon as she heard this, Xiao Jinxuan immediately refused again, and said with a hint of worry:
"Your Highness, I know that you still have a lot of things to do, so don't worry about me. And Jinxuan now wants to go to Yanqing Palace, Empress Xue has been in charge of the palace for so long, I am really a little worried about Concubine Liangniang, as well as the recent situation of Xiangping people. ”
In fact, not only Xiao Jinxuan is worried, but Zhou Xianrui is not worried about his biological mother, as well as his younger brothers and sisters who are compatriots of the same mother.
It's just that the situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty is turbulent, and Zhou Xianrui has always taken the overall situation into account, and even did his best for the sake of the Zhou family's world.
So he didn't mention Concubine Liang, and he didn't go to Yanqing Palace, not because he was cold and cold, but because he really couldn't take care of it.
And when he heard that Xiao Jinxuan was going to visit his mother, although Zhou Xianrui was worried, he also wanted to know the latest situation of Concubine Liang, so he finally said without stopping him:
"Jinxuan, if you can visit the concubine for this king, it will naturally be great. But you must be a thorn in Empress Xue's eyes now, and this king is in a hurry to leave the palace and really can't take care of you. Take my golden dragon sword with you, after all, it was given by my father and emperor, and if you walk in the palace, others will be a little afraid when they see it. ”
knew that this golden dragon sword was something that Zhou Xianrui would not leave for a long time, Xiao Jinxuan didn't want it, but the other party forcibly stuffed it into her hands.
And when Zhou Xianrui really had no time to delay and left first, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but glance at the golden dragon sword in her hand, and then she was ready to rush in the direction of Yanqing Palace.
But before she could walk out of the courtyard wall of Emperor Ming's bedroom, she suddenly saw Old Man Ding, who jumped out of a daze and blocked her way.
Slightly frowning, Xiao Jinxuan's tone brought a trace of dissatisfaction, and said very coldly:
"What do you mean by this, Old Ding, as soon as His Royal Highness King Rui left, you came out immediately. It seems that you must be hiding nearby, so presumably you have eavesdropped on everything I and Your Highness said. Jinxuan really didn't expect that the dignified ghost doctor would have this special habit of eavesdropping on other people's conversations. ”
After all, he was given a big wedding decree that he didn't want to accept at all, so Xiao Jinxuan's temper was indeed not very good.
And when he heard that he was counted down by the other party, Old Man Ding was not angry, but said with a smile:
"You girl, I only thought that your tone of voice was temperate with me. I didn't think that I was also an idiot, old man Ding, I also had an experience of dying my beloved when I was young. Seeing you trapped by love now, I thought of myself that would be. So I couldn't help but be curious, so I came out and listened to what you all said. Miss Jinxuan counts me as wrong, Old Man Ding, I'll give you something as compensation. ”
Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan's face was still very ugly, she was obviously really annoyed.
Immediately, Old Man Ding hurriedly took out a silver hollow longan-sized bead from his arms and hurriedly handed it to Xiao Jinxuan.
Reaching out and taking the silver bead, he saw that there were small diamond-shaped holes on it, and the middle was not solid, and there was a living creature that was writhing in the silver bead.
Wait until Xiao Jinxuan handed the silver bead to her eyes, and looked carefully inside through the hole above.
Only then did she see that the one that was constantly moving in the beads was actually a black beetle.
It's also a shame that Xiao Jinxuan is not one of those daughters of the family who will scream in surprise when she sees a little fly and insect.
As early as in Meizhuang, Xiao Jinxuan, who didn't know how many times she had been bitten by mosquitoes when she went into the mountains to chop wood, didn't feel scared, but asked in surprise:
"What is the mystery of this black beetle you gave me, Ding Lao. Jinxuan doesn't know how to heal, and she doesn't know much about these strange insects, so she really doesn't understand what you mean. ”
Originally, he was waiting to see Xiao Jinxuan, the daughter of the family, and was frightened by the insects in the silver beads.
Seeing that the show was good, he was quite satisfied, and said with great surprise:
"Jinxuan girl, you are indeed too fond of the old man, and now you are not afraid of insects, if you don't be my apprentice, it will be a pity."
Although he was nagging so much, Old Man Ding also knew very well that with Xiao Jinxuan's current identity, it was impossible for him to let go of everything and concentrate on learning medical skills.
Therefore, it is not entangled in this issue of accepting disciples. Old man Ding pointed directly to the silver bead, and then instructed with a rare serious face:
"Everything in the world has life and restraint. And the black beetle in the silver bead is the nemesis of all Gu worms. As long as you wear it on your body and feed it with salt bile water every day, then you will not be afraid of any Gu worms. ”
I didn't expect that this inconspicuous little beetle in my hand would have such a magical effect.
And Xiao Jinxuan, who was almost hit by the Acacia Gu at the beginning, has seen the power of the Gu worm. Therefore, this thing that Ding Yizhi gave her is indeed a rare and precious life-saving thing.
As for salt bile water, Xiao Jinxuan, who is now well-read, knows what it is.
The so-called salt bile water is actually also called brine. It is a kind of black juice formed and flowing down in the salt tank when boiling salt, and this thing is the so-called salt bile water.
Although the salt bile water has a bitter taste, it can be used to order tofu, so this kind of water is actually very common, and it can be found in all folk tofu workshops.
After telling Xiao Jinxuan about the habits of the black beetle and the feeding method, Old Man Ding finally reminded him and said:
"Girl Jinxuan, you remember to stay away from the elderly palace maid next to the queen. Your emperor fell into the Gu this time, and it should be this person's hand. I could smell the stench of Gu on her body from a long distance, I really didn't expect that there was still a master of Miao Jiang Gu Technique hidden in your Great Zhou Palace. ”
Before looking at the black beetle in her hand, Xiao Jinxuan raised her head violently. Because she could hear that the palace maid that Ding Yizhen was referring to must be talking about Zuo Wen.
Because Xiao Jinxuan's memory has always been good, at that time in front of the palace gate, the only one who was a little older than Empress Xue was Zuo Wen, and the others were just ordinary young palace maids.
Immediately frowned in surprise, Xiao Jinxuan even asked in disbelief:
"Elder Ding, you are saying that Zuo Wen's true identity is a person from Miao Jiang who is good at Gu art. If that's the case, my previous Acacia Gu and the Gu techniques that the Holy Lord is using now will all make sense. I just said how could Empress Xue be so good at using Gu techniques, it turned out that there was always a master by her side who was secretly attacking. If that's the case, Yanqing Palace will be in danger, and it seems that I have to find a way to rescue Concubine Liangxiang and others. ”
