Chapter Ninety-Five: A Leaf Falls to Know Autumn
When he woke up, he was already in the bamboo house, and his body was soft and was held in his arms by Mo Zi, and he said with concern: "You woke up, scared me to death." ”
Mo Ziwei let go of me, and there was worry hidden between Qingjun's eyebrows, "Qingqiang, what's wrong with you, how can you faint?" ”
I knew that I was poisoned, so I only smiled and comforted him: "I'm fine, I'm just a little dizzy, you don't have to worry." ”
Mo Ziwu seemed to be unconvinced, and said: "Really, Qingqiang, don't hide it from me, what happened, you tell me, I will help you." ”
I pulled out a wisp of a smile that was like smoke, "It's really fine." ”
"And what is this?" A piece of paper opened in front of my eyes, and it was the medicine that the doctor had prescribed for me at Tsukazaifu this morning.
Facing Mo Zi's questioning gaze, I was dumbfounded for a while.
Mo Zi looked at my face worriedly, and he immediately noticed that something was wrong, "Are you poisoned?" "He's so clever that he can just guess.
Mo Ziwei's eyes were as clear as snow, and I couldn't shake my head and say "no". In this situation, Mo Zi's body trembled and smiled bitterly, "I should have thought of it, how could a stubborn person like you be willing to stay in the palace." It must have been the fourth prince who controlled you with poison, and you had to stay in the palace as a last resort, right? ”
"I'm so damned, these days, I only care about my own happiness, and I don't even know that you are poisoned." Mo Zi blamed himself for a while.
I hurriedly said, "It's not your fault, you don't have to blame yourself." Although Yu Wenyong used poison to control me to do things for him, he said that he would give me the antidote within a year. You don't have to worry, I'll be fine. ”
Mo Zi frowned, "How can I not worry, it is common for emperors to turn their faces ruthlessly, what if you don't get the antidote in the end?" Your life is at stake, and you can't be negligent at all. ”
I leaned lightly on Mo Ziwei's shoulder and comforted: "He swore to me that he would definitely give me an antidote, and I would be fine." ”
"Anyway, I'm always uneasy, I can't watch you suffer from toxicity while I'm powerless." Mo Zi thought about it sadly, and said, "Qingqiang, I know a person who saved my life, and his medical skills are superb, I hope he can cure your poison." ”
I wondered, "Who is it?" ”
"He is a master and a well-hidden doctor. It's just that he travels far and wide, and it may take a while to bring him over to cure you. I knew where he was, and I would send him a message and ask him to come and visit. As he spoke, Mo Zi anxiously wanted to get a pen and paper.
I stopped him and said, "Can he really cure my poison?" ”
"I don't know, but I have to try." Mo Ziwu muttered to himself, more like convincing himself, "He has such good medical skills, he will definitely be able to cure you." ”
Seeing Mo Ziwei hurriedly getting a pen and paper to write a letter, I didn't have much hope in my heart, but seeing him anxiously picking up a pen to write a letter, I couldn't bear to break his hope, so I just let him go.
After returning to the palace, I reported what Yuwen Hu told me today to Yu Wenyong, Yuwen Yong looked at the prescription I handed over, and said: "He is just an expedient measure, there is no one in this world who can solve the poison of 'lovesickness without solution', except for the poison maker, and I have the only antidote refined by the drug maker in my hand." Yuwen Hu wants to use the antidote to lure you into continuing to work for him. ”
Hearing Yu Wen Yong say this, a deep disappointment hit my heart, but I kept calm and said: "Now Yu Wen Hu has some doubts about the relationship between His Majesty and Yu Gongzi, it is estimated that Du Cheng told him, Your Majesty must act cautiously in the future, and can no longer arouse his suspicions." ”
Yu Wenyong waved his hand and said, "It's not Du Quan, it's Zhao Tong." ”
I exclaimed: "Zhao Tong is also ......"
Yu Wenyong continued: "So you have to beware of Zhao Tong in the future, don't show your stuff in front of him." ”
I tried to calm the shock in my heart and responded, "Qingqiang knows." ”
"As for Yuwen Go, he just suspects, and there is no evidence." Yu Wenyong stroked the lines engraved with green pines and cypresses on the imperial case, and said, "I will think of ways to dispel his suspicions." ”
Soon it was the day of Ling'er's marriage, and Yuwen Yong remembered the sisterhood between me and Ling'er, so he took me to the Qiguo Mansion to congratulate him.
The purple gold felt of embroidered mandarin duck perched on the branch and moire pattern from the door of the house along the bluestone slab to the wedding hall, the lacquer pillar of the eaves of the corridor, the carved railing of the lintel, one by one draped silk and hanging satin, such as the waves, soft like light Luo.
The carved pine crane chasing the clouds and chasing the sun on one side of the square is long and long, and the case is full of cups, pots and plates, all kinds of exquisite food. Emerald exquisite cup, folded branch acacia pattern pot, emerald green sprinkled flower glazed plate, green and white lotus pattern cup, all placed together, wine and food are intoxicating, the food utensils are exquisite, and it makes people want to open their stomachs.
A line of drums and drums in the sky, the carriage and horses flowed, Ling Er Shanshan got down from the carriage, was pulled by the bride, and slowly entered the hall with a purple and red gold felt. Yu Wenxian saw the bride coming with a slender face, and immediately smiled and stretched out his hand to take Ling'er.
Emperor Wen of Zhou, the Taizu Emperor, had passed away, and the mother of the Duke of Qi, Daganbu, had lived in the palace for a long time and did not come out, so Yu Wenxian invited his respected cousin Yuwen Hu and his wife Yuan to host the wedding as elders.
Today's Yu Wenxian is dressed in white embroidered satin, crystal ruby inlaid in the jade belt to tie the hair, embroidered mandarin duck curly grass pattern delicately outlined on the sleeves, skirt, gorgeous and joyful, lined with jade handsome face is even more, the sleeves are fluttering, more elegant.
Ling'er covers her face with a fan of red peony, the pink and soft acacia flowers are picturesquely embroidered on the white skirt, the agate red pearl hairpin is obliquely inserted in the sideburns, and the hairpin on the cloud bun is a double jade butterfly bead hairpin, and a brilliant golden step is inserted in the middle, which is gorgeous and charming.
These two people standing together are indeed a pair of beautiful people, if you ignore Ling'er's eyes are not so cold.
The room was full of 3,000 guests, the banquet was noisy, and all the visitors were smiling and toasting the groom, and the bride had been sent into the room. Yu Wenyong only came to say hello as an ordinary guest this time, and did not publicize it, Yu Wenyong in the crowd looked at me in a trance, and said, "What, I can't bear your sister?" ”
I was in a complicated mood, and I didn't want people to see my thoughts, so I said: "No, Qi Guogong treats Ling'er sincerely, and it is a good destination for Ling'er to marry him." ”
His hand was gently held, and Yu Wenyong's starry eyes were unusually soft, and he said, "One day, you will have a better home than her." ”
I couldn't bear the soft gaze of a pool of spring water, so I hurriedly shifted my gaze, broke away and said, "Your Majesty, Qingqiang wants to go to the new house to see Ling'er." ”
Yu Wenyong's face was disappointed for a moment, and then he returned to normal and said, "Go ahead." ”
With Yu Wenyong's permission, I went to the new house under the leadership of my subordinates. As soon as Ling'er heard that I was coming, she ignored any etiquette, came out happily, and took me in to whisper.
Ling'er thought I was worried about her safety and came to see her, and specially told me that she had prepared incense, cartilage, and even a dagger to deal with Yu Wenxian to ensure that nothing went wrong.
Seeing her triumphant appearance, I couldn't help laughing, "You girl has a lot of ghost ideas, Qi Guogong has already promised me that he will never touch you in the slightest, you can rest assured." If you can do this, he is really sincere to you. ”
Ling Er bowed her head slightly, grabbed the white wedding dress embroidered with vines and said, "Is it possible that my sister said this to make me accept him?" ”
I gently persuaded, "That's not it, I want you to be nice to him." Even if you can't give him anything, you can't be so cold to others and don't give him any face, after all, he helped you, and we owe him. ”
Ling'er had no choice but to respond: "I understand." I will definitely be good to him in the future, pretend to be a good wife and mother in front of outsiders, and give him enough face. Sister, it's time to rest assured. ”
"Sister." The agate red pearl hairpin on Ling'er's hair bun flickered, and the red light flowed, "Next time you go out of the palace to see that person, can you take me?" ”
I froze for a moment, "Who?" ”
Ling'er had a smile as thin as snow on her lips, "Sister, don't hide it from me, I know everything." On that day, I went to the tailor shop to cut wedding dresses as Miss Feng, and I was on the street and saw you hugging someone. I said how my sister has become different recently, it turns out that she has a crush. Who is it that can move my hard-hearted sister, I want to see it. ”
was exposed by Ling'er, my face was slightly hot, and I said softly: "This doesn't seem to be good." ”
"What's wrong with that? As a younger sister, I went to take a look at my sister, to find out his character, to see if he was qualified to be my future brother-in-law. The golden steps on Ling'er's head shook like a willow, and she said a little sadly, "Unless, my sister doesn't treat me as a sister in her heart." ”
Hearing her say this, I hurriedly said, "Of course you are my sister." If you really want to see him, I'll take you there, but I'll have to tell him beforehand, lest I'm too presumptuous. ”
Ling Er suddenly smiled, "I know that my sister is the best." ”
After coming out of the Qi State Mansion, Yu Wenyong took the group to Liuxue Fang. The difference this time is that he didn't visit Yu Gongzi alone, but took me into the private room on the third floor together.
When I entered the room, I saw Dugu Jialuo, who was dressed as a man, sitting at the mahogany desk, and Ying Ying said with a smile: "Brother Yong, why did Brother Yong bring Master Xiao too?" ”
After Yu Wenyong and I sat down at the desks on both sides, he said, "Don't be surprised, everything is business as usual." ”
Dugu Jialuo has a hosta with her hair tied and a blue shirt and belt, but she also has a bit of a heroic taste, only to hear her laugh with a little ridicule: "Since Brother Yong is willing to bring you, he will not treat you as an outsider." Lord Xiao, Brother Yong is very different to you. ”
"Your Majesty treats you very differently." I cleared my throat and said, "The reason why Your Majesty brought me here today is because Yuwen Hu has become suspicious, and he wants me to inquire about His Majesty's meeting with Yu Gongzi, what he said and did. We're just putting on a show for Yuwen to show him that I'm doing the job he's sent to me. ”
Dugu Jialuo was quite disappointed, "I see. ”
Yu Wenyong reminded Dugu Jialuo, "Don't talk about it, what have you heard recently." ”
