Volume 1 Affection is Shallow Chapter 2 First Encounter When I Was a Child
"Yu'er, you take Sister Yuyao out to play first, grandmother has something to discuss with Lord Lian and Mrs. Lian."
After a while, the Queen Mother thoughtfully put Lian Yuyao down and ordered the palace maid beside her to bring Lian Yuyao to Song Moyu.
"Grandson obeys!" Song Moyu obediently took Lian Yuyao's fleshy little hand, and the two ran out of the Queen Mother's bedroom happily holding hands.
Song Moyu took Lian Yuyao to play in the imperial garden, and when the two stood still, his eyes were suddenly attracted by the beautiful jade pendant she was wearing around her neck.
He slowly approached her, reached out and picked up the jade pendant around her neck, looked at it carefully for a while, touched it lovingly, and praised it again and again: "Sister Yuyao, your jade pendant is so beautiful." ”
"This is a gift from my mother to Yao'er, it is Yao'er's talisman, and Yao'er's brother also has a piece!" When Lian Yuyao heard Song Moyu's appreciation, she was very happy in her heart, and she showed off endlessly.
"That sister should be kept properly, don't lose it, what your mother gave you is the most precious treasure in the world, do you know?" Song Moyu gently put back the jade pendant and enthusiastically admonished.
"Yao'er will definitely protect this jade pendant, Brother Xie Moyu reminds!" Lian Yuyao replied ignorantly, although she didn't know what it meant to be precious, she only knew that the things given by her mother should be well protected and not lost.
Under the care of the palace people, the two children frolicked and played in the spring garden, and when the two of them had fun, Song Moyu suddenly asked Lian Yuyao with a slight sadness: "Sister Yuyao, will you still come to the palace to play in the future?" ”
As the only prince of the Holy Heaven today, Song Moyu has been lonely since he was a child, and although his brothers respect him on the surface, they have never been willing to play with him sincerely.
The little girl in front of him was the first to be willing to play with him so carelessly, which made him unconsciously feel some warmth in his heart, and her innocence gradually reflected in his heart invisibly.
"Yao'er can beg her father to often bring Yao'er to the palace to play with Brother Moyu." Lian Yuyao nodded innocently in response.
"It's a deal!" Song Moyu said, stretched out his little thumb to her, and pulled the agreed hook with her.
Then, the two children continued to play, laughing carefree, and even the palace people were deeply affected by the picture, and they couldn't help but sigh at the beauty of innocence.
......
Inside the main hall of Yuanhua Palace
Empress Xiao sat on the phoenix chair in the middle of the hall, posing high, staring arrogantly at the witch mother invited by Mo Chun.
The witch mother is the royal goddess of the palace, responsible for all the sacrifices in the palace, she has some unusual witchcraft and divine power, so she has to be used by the royal family, but her own power is not high.
"This palace wants to order you to do something...... Empress Xiao raised her eyebrows slightly, a gloomy smile appeared on her face, and she looked at the witch mother with contempt and ordered.
"As long as it is something that the slave family can do, the slave family will do their best to serve the queen." The witch mother clasped her hands in front of her waist, and replied faithfully with her head bowed.
"If this is done...... This palace will be rewarded! Empress Xiao gently stroked the flowers in her hand and said meaningfully.
"Niangniang, please speak..."The witch mother calmly waited for Empress Xiao's speech.
Empress Xiao pondered for a while, waved her hand and ordered Mo Chun to confirm whether there were any idle people around to eavesdrop, and then said slowly: "This palace wants to order you to use magic to make the emperor suddenly fall asleep when Concubine Lian is sleeping." ”
When the witch mother heard this, her face changed greatly, and she persuaded in horror: "Niangniang! This is absolutely unacceptable! I'm afraid that this witchcraft will hurt His Majesty's dragon body! ”
"This palace is going to hurt the emperor's dragon body! In this way, we can better govern that slut! A layer of gloom appeared on Empress Xiao's face, she gritted her teeth and said, and tightened the flowers in her hand.
"Forgive the incompetence of the slave family! This matter can't work for the mother! The witch mother refused with a trembling voice, and knelt down again and again and begged for mercy.
"Presumptuous! Can you disobey the orders of this palace? Queen Xiao was instantly furious, slapped the chair hard, and yelled at the witch mother.
"Niangniang, it is impossible for the slave family to do such a hurtful thing! What's more, this matter hurt His Majesty's dragon body! The Witch Mother struggled to muster her courage and assert herself, her voice getting deeper and deeper.
Empress Xiao didn't answer immediately, but continued to play with the flowers in her hand, slowly tore out the petals one by one, threw them all over the ground, and said unhurriedly: "If this palace is not mistaken, there are three people in your family, right?" Your husband is in business, and his business in the capital is booming, and you have a young son under your knees. ”
The witch mother instantly took a few steps back in fear, looked at Queen Xiao with a panicked expression, her whole heart was raised, her body trembled, but she didn't dare to say a word.
"If you obediently listen to the words of this palace and do a good job for this palace, after the matter is completed, this palace will reward your family with glory and wealth, and a peaceful life, if you don't obey, then your husband's business will plummet, and your eight-year-old child can just enter the palace as a little eunuch, and this age is very good to cultivate!"
"..... Let the slave family think about it again. "The witch mother is powerless, and the defense line in her heart is gradually disintegrating, and she is really in a dilemma.
"This palace only allows you to think about it for a few days, if you delay for too long, don't blame this palace for being polite!" Empress Xiao threatened with a sinister smile.
……
The night was silent, the sky was shrouded in a cloud of blue smoke, a full moon hung desolate in the air, and sparse stars twinkled lonely around the full moon.
Even the concubine bathed and changed her clothes, made herself full of fragrance, and then was taken by the palace people to the Jinming Hall to sleep for the emperor.
Even the concubine ordered the palace people to bring a table of wine and food, and Song Jingyu drank and had fun, and the palace was filled with a strong honey for a while.
Concubine Lian lay shyly in Song Jingyu's arms, flattering him with wine and food, which made Song Jingyu love the beauty in his arms more and more, his fingertips kept rubbing her delicate and smooth face, and then gradually moved down, provoking her deeply.
Concubine Lian looked at Song Jingyu with a soft gaze, and whispered: "Your Majesty, you are in a good mood today, let the concubine dance for Your Majesty!" ”
"The dancing of the concubine is very pleasing to me, so the concubine will cheer me up!" Song Jingyu happily looked at the beauty in his arms.
Concubine Lian got up from Song Jingyu's arms lightly, paced in front of Song Jingyu, and danced with a graceful posture.
Song Jingyu watched the dancing Concubine Lian seriously with a fascinated gaze, and was full of fluttering immortals.
After a while, he suddenly felt a blackness in front of him, his consciousness became more and more depressed, and his body fell to the ground completely unobeyed, and then he lost consciousness.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why are you ......" Concubine Lian's panicked voice sounded faintly in Song Jingyu's ears, and he wanted to answer, but found that he couldn't make a sound no matter what.
Gradually, he lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep......
The Jinming Hall instantly fell into a panic, and the fact that the emperor was in a coma for no reason frightened the palace people into confusion, but the eunuch Deyuan's father-in-law was relatively calm, and hurriedly ordered someone to call the imperial doctor.
Concubine Lian sat on the ground paralyzed, her hands and feet were weak, her pitiful eyes were full of fear, she stared intently at Song Jingyu who was unconscious on the bed, and waited for the results of the imperial doctor's pulse diagnosis in a panic.
She was like a frightened little white rabbit, at a loss, after all, Song Jingyu had such an incident during her bedtime, and she would definitely not be able to get out at the moment.
Empress Xiao already regarded her as a thorn in her side, and she suffered this disaster this night, and Empress Xiao would definitely make a big fuss about her and punish her......
The more Concubine Lian thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she didn't dare to think about it further, at this time, she completely lost her usual arrogance, and now that she has lost the protection of Song Jingyu, she is afraid that it will be difficult to protect herself.
The imperial doctor was still carefully checking the pulse, and Queen Xiao and her party hurried over.
As soon as she stepped into the dormitory, she went straight to Song Jingyu's bed to inspect, directly ignoring Concubine Lian who was paralyzed on the ground, she looked at the imperial doctor anxiously and asked, "Imperial Doctor Zhao, how is the emperor's situation?" ”
Imperial Physician Zhao checked the pulse with a solemn face for a while, then slowly stood up and bowed to the queen and said: "Back to the queen's mother, Your Majesty's situation is not optimistic, it seems that he has been poisoned, his life and breath are disordered, and he is delirious, as if he has been summoned to ......."
"How so? What is the disease of Gu poison? When Empress Xiao heard this, Feng's eyes showed some panic, she almost didn't stand firm, but fortunately, Mo Chun behind her quickly helped her.
"Gu poison is a kind of healing spell that combines curse and poisoning, and the poisoned person can wake up after being in a coma for many days, or sleep forever."
Imperial Physician Zhao said, and added: "Although the old minister is a imperial doctor, he has a little exploration of the art of Gu poison, and His Majesty's situation at this time is very similar to that of a Gu victim who has been harmed by Gu poison. In this way, he increased his persuasiveness in the inference of the emperor's illness.
When Empress Xiao heard this, she immediately cast her fierce gaze on Concubine Lian who was sitting on the ground, pointed at her and asked loudly, "Are you...... What the hell have you done to Your Majesty, slut? ”
"My sister is wronged! My sister didn't do anything......" Lian Guifei's eyes were full of panic, and her voice trembled in defense, tears kept rolling in her eyes.
"Don't even worry about it, think about what you and Your Majesty just did in the palace?" The eunuch, who was standing silently on the side, suddenly turned his gaze to Concubine Lian and said calmly.
"I just had some food and drink with Your Majesty, and then I thought of cheering up Your Majesty, so I danced a dance for him, who knew that before the song was finished, His Majesty collapsed......" Concubine Lian carefully recalled everything that happened tonight, and her voice trembled a little.
Listening to Concubine Lian's narration, Imperial Physician Zhao pondered for a while, nodded and deduced: "That's the crux of the matter, the Gu giver needs to make the Gu recipient eat the Gu poison powder, and then he needs to dance a soul dance, and the Gu recipient will gradually become delirious and depressed when he sees it......
"Quick! Check the food and drink to see if this slut has poisoned it! Empress Xiao hurriedly pointed to the table of wine and food and shouted anxiously.
The imperial physician immediately took out the silver needle from the medicine box and tested the table of wine and food one by one, but the utensils used by the emperor and the table full of wine and food were not poisonous.
Empress Xiao instantly frowned suspiciously, thinking that this was impossible, the wine and food on that table were obviously poisoned, why couldn't it be tested?
