Chapter 433: Going to the Banquet
April 15, the Queen's birthday.
Over the years, due to the difficulties of state affairs, in fact, the queen's birthday is His Majesty's birthday, and everything is simple, and he has never done anything big.
However, this year is always different.
Now the matter of joint discussion, leading the Quartet to gather in the capital, coinciding with the queen's birthday, whether it is true or false, can not turn a blind eye, prepare a congratulatory gift, congratulations, it is naturally necessary.
Since all the heroes have this plan, it is impossible for the country to lose its demeanor, so a big banquet is naturally indispensable.
Of course, this is only a superficial reason.
In fact, even if there is no reason for the queen's birthday banquet, the time has come for the dynasty and the heads of all parties to make official contacts.
After all, it is impossible for the negotiations to remain deadlocked, and it is necessary to find an opportunity to push the negotiations to the next stage, so as to pave the way for the official opening of the summit.
The name of the Queen's birthday naturally coincided with the meeting, providing the best reason for the heads of state of all parties to have official contacts.
Regardless of whether others are sincere or false, this time the queen's birthday is important to Mo Bai.
Early in the morning, before dawn, Mo Bai was already dressed neatly, waiting for Lin Suyin to pack up and go out.
In fact, Lin Suyin got up much earlier than Mo Bai.
It's just that there is no way, as long as Mo Bai as a man wears the clothes he should wear, ties his hair, and washes up, he can go out, and it is not necessarily any different from usual.
But Lin Suyin is different as a woman, on such occasions, from clothing, to headdress, to makeup, it can be said that everything cannot tolerate the slightest sloppiness, and if something is wrong, it will not be embarrassing.
It's not just a shame on her alone, it can't be said that it has to include the two families of the Ming Wangfu and the Lin family.
There is no way, it is always unfair to women in feudal times.
……
The drizzle began to fall from the sky in the early hours of the morning.
It just happened to bring a bit of coolness to this hot season.
Mo Bai stood in the courtyard with his hands in his hands, looking at Lin Suyin's room through the rain curtain.
The lights in the room are dim, and through the window, you can vaguely see the image of Lin Suyin sitting in front of the dressing mirror and putting on makeup.
From time to time, there would be the sound of Ning'er running around.
It seemed that it would take a while, Mo Bai turned around and went out.
He didn't have an umbrella, but in the drizzle, there was a faint layer of light on his body, and the rain curtain fell, but it diverged from the top of his head and fell around.
Seeing Ah Jiu holding an umbrella from afar, he was walking towards him from afar, and when he saw his figure, he quickened his pace.
Mo Bai turned around and entered a nearby gazebo.
Before he sat down, Ah Jiu arrived, took the umbrella and saluted: "Sixth master!" ”
"Hmm." Mo Bai nodded, looking at a small wooden box ten centimeters square in his hand.
Ah Jiu hurriedly put the wooden box on the table and opened it, only to see that there were three small jade bottles inside.
Ah Jiu Yi Yi took it out and opened the cap.
Then stepped aside, Mo Bai reached out and took a jade bottle, lowered his head and sniffed, and suddenly felt a strange fragrance, which was refreshing.
Ah Jiu said on the side: "The device in this bottle is a hemp boiling powder according to the original recipe, which has a powerful effect, and can relieve pain by smelling it, but any wise doctor will definitely be able to identify its hallucinogenic and addictive hidden dangers." ”
Hearing this, Mo Bai nodded, but did not make a sound.
I just casually put it aside and took another bottle.
In this bottle, there is still a trace of strange fragrance coming out, but it is already a small thing compared to Fang Cai, and it is difficult to smell it if it is not a person with a keen sense of smell.
After Mo Bai sniffed it, he poured out some pale yellow powder from it, and then took it, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Ah Jiu spoke again: "This is according to the original basis of the increase and decrease, on the basis of ensuring its basic efficacy, as much as possible to reduce its toxicity, the effect is still good, I have given the broken finger to the external application of internal use, the pain is immediately reduced, but the effect of the drug can only last for three hours, after the effect, the patient only feels more pain!" ”
Mo Bai groaned slightly when he heard this, just sniffed lightly, and then closed the bottle cap.
Picked up the last medicine bottle, this time there was no strange fragrance, only the medicinal fragrance came out, Ah Jiu shook his head slightly and said: "This is according to your improved Dan recipe refining, even if the Tai Hospital believes it, it will not dare to use it as a poison prescription again." However, although this powder is the least harmful to the human body, and the effect is very powerful, the shortcomings are obvious, and it is necessary to cooperate with the Taoist Dan Qi and the assistance of the doctor's golden needle to promote the medicinal properties, otherwise it is difficult to achieve the effect of suppressing severe pain. ”
Obviously, these medicinal powders were prepared by Mo Bai for Emperor Dingwu.
Moreover, until this moment, Mo Bai has not been able to make up his mind which one to use.
There are pros and cons to these medicines, and if it is the intention of the Mobai doctor, of course he is willing to use this last bottle.
He didn't intend to let His Majesty die in his illness, and he always wanted to do his best to save him.
But he also understands that if His Majesty does not know the truth of his condition, I am afraid that even if he is willing to inject him now, His Majesty will not rest assured that he will do it.
He couldn't predict how His Majesty would react when he learned of his illness.
Is it able to be calm, or in this last time, vent the grievances of this life.
This kind of risk, before the curtain of the joint anti-barbarism comes to an end, Mo Bai can't afford to gamble.
But if you don't use this last bottle, the second bottle of weakened version of hemp boiling can barely pass the level of the Tai Hospital.
But the effect is not enough, the pain of the severed finger is intense, but it still can't compare to the torturous feeling of continuous neuropathic pain.
Then only the first bottle of the original configuration of hemp boiling powder is left, and the effect is enough, but once it is taken for a long time, it is also harvesting people's lives while relieving pain, even if you don't talk about this, you can't pass the level of the hospital.
Mo Bai has been paying attention to His Majesty's situation all the time, His Majesty's illness has increased significantly recently, and he is close to Concubine Lan's situation, and Mo Bai also knows.
However, Concubine Lan's methods Mo Bai is already clear, not to mention that Mo Bai has already killed Liu Danshi.
Even if she hadn't killed her, the trick she and Liu Danshi had had not worked at all after His Majesty's condition deteriorated.
Recently, the effect of her "massage technique" has been obviously not good, since she was targeted by Mo Bai, she is secretly aggravating the illusion of incense, and Mo Bai is clear.
Concubine Lan didn't know that even if she had a thousand means, she could even hide it from the palace, but she didn't want to hide it, and she had already laid out the Ming Palace.
Mo Bai didn't wear it because of her practice, which is currently a way to help His Majesty relieve pain.
But now, with her little means, I am afraid that it will be difficult to relieve His Majesty's pain.
That's why Mo Bai had to intervene and had to offer medicine to His Majesty.
There was a sound of footsteps, Mo Bai came back to his senses, and finally took two of the bottles, put them in the wooden box, and handed the original configuration to Ah Jiu.
Seeing that he made a choice, Ah Jiu didn't say much, put away the Dan bottle, and put it in his arms.
The two looked up, only to see that it was Lu Xunyi who was coming in the rain, Mo Bai nodded to Ah Jiu and said, "Go and see if the princess is ready?" ”
"Yes!" Ah Jiu responded, said hello to Lu Xunyi, and retreated.
Lu Xunyi watched Ah Jiu's back leave, his eyes flashed, he suddenly discovered recently that His Royal Highness seemed to have stopped Ah Jiu from intervening in the business of the Ming Palace.
Now when talking about business, it is rare to see Ah Jiu.
Most of the time, Ah Jiu is either refining medicine and studying medicine, or he helps with some housework.
A few days ago, he didn't feel anything, but this time, Mo Bai opened Ah Jiu again, he reacted, he was a little suspicious in his heart, his eyes swept over the Dan bottle in the wooden box on the table, and he couldn't help but think in his heart, Could it be that His Royal Highness has decided to pass on the mantle of medicine to Ah Jiu?
If this is the case, Lu Xunyi is very happy for Ah Jiu.
"Sit down!" Mo Bai's voice came, interrupting Lu Xunyi's thoughts.
Lu Xunyi reacted at this time, hurriedly saluted, and then sat down opposite Mo Bai, there are rules in the Ming Palace, but they are not so harsh and strict.
Lu Xunyi and the others have long been accustomed to sitting with Mo Bai to discuss matters, and they don't talk nonsense, and go straight to the topic: "From the Daomen to talk about us, we have given them three days, which is enough for them to understand the key, but so far, they have not taken the initiative to come to the door, it seems that they will not shed tears when they see the coffin." ”
In the past three days, Mo Bai did not go directly to the Dao Gate to force them to make a choice, as the outside world thought.
Instead, they were given three days, wanting them to come over by themselves, after all, they knocked on the door and forced them to bow their heads, and their faces were always not so good-looking, if they understood that the situation was irreparable, then they might take the initiative to come to the door, and everyone's faces looked good.
However, after three days, after those few people reacted, they continued to get closer to the Lin clan and other forces, and their attitude suddenly became intimate with them.
The purpose is very simple, knowing that he has made a mistake, he still wants to continue to struggle, and use this posture to counter the Ming Palace, so that the Ming Palace's Mansion will not dare to act rashly.
Mo Bai smiled when he heard this, his eyes swept Lu Xunyi, and said softly: "You mean, let's make trouble today?" ”
"Today, all parties will celebrate the birthday of the queen's mother, and the number of Daomen will also be present, it is indeed a good time, after all, this matter should not be delayed for too long, otherwise those people are afraid that they will really think that we have been bluffed by their means!" Lu Xunyi nodded.
Mo Bai lowered his head slightly, he knew that what Lu Xunyi said made sense, but today was his mother's birthday, and he also knew that for others, this was just a reason.
But he ...... It's really going to celebrate the birthday of the queen mother!
Hearing this, he groaned slightly, but said softly: "I will meet today, so let's see their attitude." ”
"Your Highness......" Lu Xunyi wanted to say something.
But suddenly he heard footsteps behind him, Mo Bai turned around, and saw Ning Er holding an umbrella and walking towards him with Lin Suyin.
Mo Bai stood up, Lu Xunyi had to shut up and get up, Mo Bai turned around and said, "I know it in my heart, go and prepare, let's go!" ”
"Yes!" Lu Xunyi glanced at him and responded.
Mo Bai walked up, came to Lin Suyin's side, and looked at her, his eyes paused slightly.
Lin Suyin's appearance doesn't need to be mentioned, after today's careful dressing, Mo Bai is already familiar with her appearance, and he still can't help but look at it twice.
Seeing his appearance, Lin Suyin withdrew his gaze and looked at the rain curtain!
"Ahem!" Mo Bai coughed lightly, took the umbrella in Ning Er's hand, and said, "Let's go!" ”
Lin Suyin was a little unaccustomed to being so close to him under his umbrella, but she still nodded and took Ning'er towards the outside of the mansion together.
On the way, the two were silent, but Lin Suyin suddenly asked: "I...... Will others see it? ”
When Mo Bai heard this, he didn't understand what he meant, turned his head to look, and saw that her eyes were slightly lowered, and he looked at her eyes, only to see that her lower abdomen was flat, and suddenly smiled: "Don't worry, not for the time being!" ”
"That's good!" Lin Suyin seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Actually, I'm not afraid anymore, I can see that in today's situation, as long as I don't die, who dares to touch you for half a point?" Ink white, but very natural.
Lin Suyin glanced at him sideways and didn't speak again.
