Chapter Forty-Six: Who Is So Bold!
In the dimly lit room, the Queen Mother saw that Xu Buling was speechless, and her eyes were slightly cold:
"Hmph—you have a good idea, Hongu is drunk and can't remember, it's not just a few times you say it...... You want to be beautiful, this palace is counted five times, and if you can't cure the poison, you will die together......"
As she spoke, the Queen Mother picked up the gold-inlaid carving knife and prepared to write.
Xu Buling thought for a moment and raised his hand slightly:
"Hmm...... It's really once, when the Queen Mother was tired, she couldn't get up on me, let me read a poem to you, and bite me if you don't read it......"
“??”
The Queen Mother's face collapsed again, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there was such a thing......
“…… At that time, it was almost dawn, and I was afraid that Aunt Lu would wake up and find that she could only get up, and the Queen Mother complained at that time, "Why did you leave, and it hasn't been solved yet......"
"Shut up!"
The Queen Mother took a deep breath, her clothes bulged, and she stared at Xu Buling for a moment, then lowered her head and carved it seriously on the small mahogany plaque: Zhengzheng Zhengyi.
"Why did it take so long to ...... sixteen times?"
After carving, the Queen Mother was a little annoyed, and wanted to smash the mahogany card on Xu Buling's body to vent, just raised her hand, and thought about it.
"You...... Anyway, if you can't do it tonight, you just sit honestly and dare to move, and this palace will commit suicide. ”
Xu Buling nodded, now he is not in a hurry to detoxify, it is not bad to be alone and chat, leaning back in the chair at the moment, and said with a smile:
"I heard that the Xiao family is coming to Chang'an?"
Speaking of this, the Queen Mother's face showed a little displeasure, and with fear, she snorted lightly:
"It's none of your business...... Just come and visit relatives...... She has been strict since she was a child, and she can't see a prodigal like you, remember how far to hide after coming to Chang'an......"
Xu Buling nodded and chuckled: "I've heard it a long time ago, so won't the Queen Mother want to return to the palace at that time?" ”
The Queen Mother pursed her lips and said softly: "Naturally, I want to go back to the palace, and she knows that I, as the Queen Mother, run out all day long, and I must not be nagged to death...... You can also go back to Chang'an in a few days, it is convenient...... Phew—......"
Xu Buling couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, and nodded seriously.
In the dead of night, lonely men and widows, it is not easy to chat calmly.
The Queen Mother felt a little restless after sitting for a while, thought about it for a while, took out a small purse from her arms, and threw it to Xu Buling:
"What you wanted, it was made for you, according to what you said, it was boiled in boiling water when you came up and 'disinfected', how do you use it to detoxify?"
As she spoke, the Queen Mother sat quietly closer, with a little curiosity in her eyes - she has been interested in these things since she was a child, and she feels that it is amazing when she makes them, and she has been studying how to use them these days, but it seems to be of no use at all except for fun, so she naturally wants to see how Xu Buling uses it to detoxify.
Xu Buling caught the purse, took out the golden quail eggs from it, raised his hand and pulled the red rope a few times, and then began to 'buzz'.
The Queen Mother sat a little closer, holding the armrest with her hand and probing slightly, looking carefully.
Xu Buling raised his eyes and glanced at the curious baby, and pondered the wording slightly:
"This detoxification...... I still have to cooperate with the Queen Mother. ”
The Queen Mother frowned slightly, glanced at Xu Buling, and then looked at his palm:
"How can Hongu cooperate?"
Xu Buling coughed lightly and stood up: "The Queen Mother lies down ......"
“……”
The Queen Mother's eyes flickered, thinking of 'Zhengzhengyi', hesitated, and then made an 'impatient' appearance, and lay on the carved soft couch in a proper manner.
"Keep your eyes closed."
“……”
The Queen Mother closed her eyes hesitantly.
After a while......
"Woo-Brother Ling~ I was wrong, woo-"
The mouth was covered by the hand.
----
The night is quiet, empty and quiet.
In the hut between the bamboo and the sea, Ning Yu was dressed in a black robe, with a wooden hairpin on his head, and sat quietly on the Pu Tuan.
The main point of meditation is to empty the mind and not think about anything, but these days I always can't calm down, including the thoughts of being separated from Ning Qingye, who has been with me for many years, and the reason why I am about to go to the Dragon Boat Festival.
It is futile to be unable to meditate quietly, Ning Yuhe opened his eyes, probably feeling bored, got up and walked to the mountain path of Furong Temple to relax, looking at the majestic Chang'an in the distance, and a little bit of the past came to his mind again.
Cui Xiaowan died at the time of the Dragon Boat Festival, when she heard the news, she was succumbing to the fate of quiet cultivation in the Evergreen Temple, and the feeling in her heart was mixed after learning about it, but she didn't know how to describe that feeling.
She was just a concubine when she was a child, and she had no status at all in the thriving Tang family in Youzhou, and even the housekeeper couldn't compare, the Tang family sword was passed on to men and not to women, and it was useless for women to have good martial arts talents, she still had some temper when she was a child, and after secretly learning a few styles of Tang family swords, she ran away from home and traveled around the rivers and lakes.
If there is no accident, she may also become a heroine when she grows up, wandering all over the world, doing chivalrous deeds, and then meeting a well-behaved Jianghu guest, and the two wandered the world together until they were old and lived in seclusion to raise a pair of children.
But God often doesn't arrange according to people's ideas, just when she was wandering around, the people of the Tang family suddenly found her, no longer arrogant and indifferent in the past, but kind and kind, and spoiled her with everything.
I have to say that at that time, she really realized what 'home' is, and even the mother who was not of high status was also rising, and she could sit and talk with the lady in the main house.
Because of this, what the Tang family taught her, she learned, and later the emperor wanted to marry her as the queen, and she naturally agreed, after all, this kind of thing, she is a little girl who can't call the shots, and her parents order the matchmaker......
At that time, she also thought about what it would look like to enter the palace, and heard that the imperial city was very large, what should she do if she got lost......
Thinking of this, Ning Yuhe hooked the corners of his mouth, but soon, a little mourning appeared in his eyes.
The next thing can be said to have made the ignorant little girl become what she is now.
Hunting, misunderstanding, life and death of mothers, hiding in Tibet, and becoming a monk......
To this day, when I think back to that time, I still can't hide my resentment and worry in my heart.
once suspected that Cui Xiaowan wanted to be the queen and deliberately framed her. But after hearing the news that Cui Xiaowan died depressed in the palace, she understood that Cui Xiaowan was a poor person like her.
If she had successfully entered the palace at that time, what would have happened later, her mother would not have died, Cui Xiaowan would not have died, and she would not have fallen to the end of being a monk and dying alone in the mountains.
But these things, she has no choice at all, and Cui Xiaowan has no choice, in the eyes of the family, women are just a tool used to fight for the power of etiquette, where to choose, you can only blame the Cui family, blame the Tang family's viciousness and incompetence. But she doesn't even have the qualifications to take revenge, these families are too big......
Ning Yuhe thought about it, and looked at a small courtyard in the Furong Temple below - even the Huainan Xiao family, isn't it the same, using their daughter as a tool to fight for power and profit, Fanghua Zhengmao married an old man who ran out of oil and lamps, and he didn't even do it for a day, so he was locked in the deep palace and lonely...... Hey?
Ning Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked carefully at the courtyard - the palace maid was walking outside the courtyard wall, and the guards and secret sentinels were wandering nearby, very calm.
But she seemed to see a dark shadow climb through the courtyard wall and enter the house......
Not a delusion.
Ning Qingye's martial arts are strong, and she will never have this illusion when she is distracted, and when she sees it, she sees it, although she is far away from the mountainside in the courtyard at the top of the mountain, there must be someone who has entered the queen mother's room.
With the degree of defense around the Queen Mother, it is a bit appalling to be able to sneak into the courtyard without alarming the light and dark sentinels.
Could it be that someone assassinated the Queen Mother?
Ning Yuhe's eyes condensed slightly, and he was about to shout to remind the guards below, but just opened his mouth and paused again.
The Queen Mother recently went up the mountain every few days and locked herself in the house, with the doors and windows closed......
The complexion is getting better and better......
!!
Ning Yuhe's eyes widened suddenly, a little incredulous.
When the queen mother of the dynasty and the emperor's mother-in-law, she actually had a private meeting with a man here?!
After having this thought, Ning Yuhe hurriedly squatted down to avoid being discovered by someone with a heart, after all, who basically knows who will die in this matter. No matter how generous the Son of Heaven is, it is impossible to leave those who know this kind of news in the world.
But who is so bold that he dares to be the queen mother of the dynasty......
Ning Yuhe frowned slightly, judging from Fang Cai's skills, there are not many people with such skills on Yufeng Mountain, could it be ......
Thinking of this, Ning Yuhe shook his head, it is impossible for the Xiao family to do such a thing that will harm the interests of the main family, so ......
Ning Yuhe thought of something, turned his eyes to look at the house in the depths of the bamboo forest, and hurriedly shook his head - Ling Er is knowledgeable and polite, and has a cold personality, how can he meditate and recuperate in the house tonight, how can he do such a thing, I'm afraid he came from down the mountain......
Ning Yuhe hesitated, she didn't dare to get involved in this kind of thing, even if she knew, it was useless, she calmly forgot about it at the moment, and hurried down the top of the mountain.
After just a few steps, Ning Yuhe glanced at the lighted house in the depths of the bamboo forest......
