Chapter Eighty-Eight: Marriage for Me
Xiao Yuyan roared fiercely, "Qianqian, do you know that you will kill Jing Cong by doing this!" ”
"What nonsense are you talking about? I just want that woman to die, and Brother Jingcong is a relative of the emperor, how can something happen? Murong Qianqian asked with an unconvinced expression.
"If you expose this matter to the queen's mother, then what Xiao Jingcong said just now is a lie, this is a crime of deception, and it will be beheaded all over the house, and the nine clans will be killed! Do you want to kill your brother Jingcong's family? ”
"I ...... I didn't have ......"
When Murong Qianqian heard Xiao Jingcong say this, she immediately shook her head and denied it.
"I don't want anything to happen to Brother Jingcong, I ...... I don't want to ......"
"But if you do this, you will kill your brother Jingcong, if you don't care, you can go now." Saying that, Xiao Yuyan let go of his hand.
Murong Qianqian froze in place, and it took a long time to recover.
Leaned over and looked into the main hall, only to see that Yan Zixi had already entered the curtain with Xiao Jingcong, talking to the emperor, so angry that Murong Qianqian gritted her teeth and stomped her feet fiercely.
"Yan Zixi, you wait! I'm not going to let you have a good time! ”
Murong Qianqian spit out a sentence coldly, and the coolness emanating from her body made even Xiao Yuyan behind her feel a chill.
"When did Qianqian become so terrifying?"
Xiao Yuyan looked at the eldest cousin in front of her, who was gentle and understanding on weekdays, but she would have such a terrible side!
……
Inside the curtain, Xiao Jingcong knelt in front of the dragon couch and talked to the emperor, while Yan Zixi took the opportunity to check the emperor's condition.
Yan Zixi noticed that there were traces of skin erosion on the emperor's neck, and there was pus flowing on it, which seemed to be indeed not an ordinary disease.
"Jingcong, I need to give the emperor an injection, you can help me cover it up."
"Cover-up? How can I hide it? I won't ......"
Unexpectedly, Xiao Jingcong, who has always been calm and calm, couldn't help but panic.
"You just pretend to be crying, yes, just follow the example of the second prince just now, and cry like him......"
"This ......"
"Oh, don't do this, that, people's lives are at stake, and if you don't heal the emperor, you will die! When the time comes, you will be a sinner for the ages! ”
Hearing Yan Zixi say this, Xiao Jingcong gritted his teeth violently, and followed the appearance of the second prince Xiao Yuxian just now, and fell on the dragon couch and wailed.
"Your Majesty, the ministers are incompetent! Ahhh The minister has not yet laid down the Northern Liang Kingdom for you...... Emperor...... Woo ah ah ah ah ......"
Outside the tent, everyone heard Xiao Jingcong suddenly crying, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what happened.
The queen's face showed a hint of joy, especially when she saw that Xiao Jingcong was so loyal and filial, and the river of the Great Xiao Dynasty would also rely on her in the future.
The only person in the hall who was dissatisfied was the second prince Xiao Yuxian.
Originally, one of his good shows was robbed of the limelight by Xiao Jingcong later, and he was so angry that he trembled.
"Xiao Jingcong, what kind of tricks are you playing?"
Xiao Yuxian muttered to himself, not knowing what Xiao Jingcong was crying for like that.
The third prince, Xiao Yuchen, also frowned slightly, he didn't say anything, but there was a hint of suspicion on his face.
With this colleague, Yan Zixi secretly praised Xiao Jingcong in her heart, she really didn't expect his acting skills to be so realistic, just like the second prince.
It's all royal blood, and sure enough, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps.
Thinking about it, the movements in Yan Zixi's hands did not stop.
She quietly took out the silver needle hidden in her sleeve pocket, and her fingers lightly pierced several large holes on the emperor's body.
With each needle, you can see the thick water flowing out of it.
Every time the needle is pricked, the emperor has to snort, fortunately, Xiao Jingcong's cry is loud and miserable enough, otherwise, it will really be discovered by people outside.
Thirteen silver needles pierced, except for the continuous flow of thick water from the pinholes, the emperor's condition did not seem to improve, and even Yan Zixi frowned.
"This disease is really strange!"
Yan Zixi took a deep breath, adjusted her breathing, and continued to stay focused, every time she prick a needle, it was likely that the emperor would die.
This is the emperor! Don't be sloppy, Yan Zixi can only be careful and careful.
And here, Xiao Jingcong's voice was a little hoarse, he raised his head and stared at Yan Zixi with a sad face, and those resentful eyes seemed to say, "Yan Zixi, why are you not okay?!" ”
Yan Zixi didn't dare to look at Xiao Jingcong at this time, his attention was all on the emperor's body.
She gritted her teeth violently, and took out three thicker silver needles again, which pierced several acupuncture points on the emperor's chest in turn.
The emperor's pupils suddenly dilated, his breathing became rapid, and there were bursts of low roars from his mouth, and even Xiao Jingcong couldn't hide it at this moment.
The sound reached the outside of the curtain, and everyone was taken aback and stepped forward.
When the queen heard the sound, she lifted the curtain and was about to ask what happened, but she saw Yan Zixi holding a big silver needle on the emperor's chest.
"You're so daring! How dare you assassinate the emperor?! Come on, come on! ”
As soon as the queen gave an order, a pair of guards of the Royal Forest Army rushed in and immediately surrounded Xiao Jingcong and Yan Zixi.
Yan Zixi didn't dare to stop, she was worried that if she stopped the needle at this moment, she was afraid that her previous efforts would be wasted, and the emperor would definitely die at that time!
She gritted her teeth and continued to administer the silver needle.
"Quick! Put down the silver needle! What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and pull her away! ”
Seeing this, Xiao Jingcong suddenly stood up and blocked in front of Yan Zixi, "All retreat!" ”
Saying that, Xiao Jingcong hurriedly explained to the queen again.
"The queen mother, please listen to me, Zixi is a doctor, she said that she has a way to treat the emperor, but she has a low status, and she is worried that you will not do it, so she made this decision. Now that the healing is at a critical juncture, if she is pulled away at this moment and does not let her treat the emperor, I am afraid that the emperor will be more auspicious! Please also ask the queen to forgive her sins! ”
When the people heard this, their mouths began to talk about it.
Seeing this, Xiao Yuyan, the fourth prince, hurriedly knelt in front of the queen and begged Xiao Jingcong and Yan Zixi for invitation.
"The queen mother, the sons can testify! Yan Zixi is indeed a doctor, she has superb medical skills, she has cured the illnesses of her sons and concubines, and her sons and daughters have been cured, and her sons implore their mothers to temporarily forgive their sins, and wait until they are cured, and then make a decision! ”
As he was talking, Yan Zixi pricked it with another thick needle, and the emperor suddenly spit out a pool of dirty blood, which frightened the queen and the princes with a pale.
She ...... Is she healing? This is killing the king! ”
"Queen Mother, please take a closer look at the blood stains that your father vomited!"
When the queen heard this, she looked down, but saw that the blood that the emperor had just spit out was black and shiny, and it still emitted a fishy smell.
"This ...... Why is this blood black? The queen's eyes widened and she asked incredulously.
"Poisoned, the emperor is poisoned!"
After the last stitch, Yan Zixi finally breathed a sigh of relief and spoke.
"What do you say? Poisoning? You say that the emperor is not sick, but poisoned? ”
Yan Zixi turned around, knelt in front of the queen, lowered her head and replied: "Yes, the queen, the emperor is not sick, but poisoned!" ”
"This ...... That's impossible! ”
The second prince, Xiao Yuxian, shook his head, pointed at Yan Zixi and scolded: "What are you, you are actually here to confuse the public?" Someone, drag her down and behead her! ”
"Wait! His Royal Highness the Second Prince! ”
Xiao Jingcong hurriedly stopped those guards and retorted to the second prince: "Your Royal Highness the second prince, why are you so sure that the emperor is not poisoned? ”
The second prince snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "Father's imperial diet has a special eunuch father-in-law to try the dishes personally, if it is poisonous, why don't those fathers-in-law see anything?" Father poisoned? Hehe, it's a big joke! ”
Everyone nodded when they heard this, and many agreed with the second prince's point of view.
"yes, yes......"
Yan Zixi responded without humility or arrogance: "Dare to ask His Royal Highness the Second Prince, have you studied medicine?" ”
"Hmph, this prince is learning the art of governing the country, how can he learn such a ninth-rate technique?" The second prince put his hand in his sleeve pocket, looking high.
Yan Zixi didn't care, and asked again: "Then may I ask His Royal Highness the Second Prince, have you ever heard of a poison that is just a moon incense?" ”
"What kind of poison is that, this prince has never heard of it."
"The incense itself is just a colorless and odorless medicinal herb, but when it is mixed with an incense called Seven Star Begonia, it will produce a highly toxic substance." Yan Zixi explained.
After hearing this, the second prince was unimpressed, "So what? Do you want to say that the poison in my father is the poison of Miyuexiang? ”
"Definitely! Returning to His Royal Highness the Second Prince, the Minnu just wanted to prove that some poisons are not so easy to detect, and even if someone tries the dishes, it is likely to be poisoned. And the poison can not only be used in the imperial diet, maybe the tea you drink, the incense you order, the pastries you eat and the like may be poisoned, dare to ask His Royal Highness the Second Prince, have you checked them one by one? ”
When the second prince heard this, he immediately stopped, "This ......"
"Alright, don't make any noise!"
The queen, who had not spoken all this time, finally spoke again.
Everyone held their breath and waited aside.
The queen glanced at Yan Zixi, and asked again: "Miss Zixi, is the emperor really poisoned?" ”
"Back to the queen, the emperor is indeed poisoned, and these poisonous blood and concentrated water are the best evidence!"
"Is there a cure?" Hearing this, the queen hurriedly asked.
"Yes, yes, yes. But ......"
When the queen heard this, she immediately urged: "But what? But it doesn't matter, if you really have to be the emperor, this palace will not only exempt you from capital crimes, but also reward you heavily! ”
"Back to the queen, the people have only one request!"
"Say!"
"I implore the queen and the emperor to be the masters and give me a marriage!"
