Chapter Eighty-Five: The Secret Passage Captures People

Besides, on the side of the Guanwa Palace, after Yiguang danced, the husband was about to enter with her hand, and a palace person hurriedly came and said with a panicked expression: "Queen Qiyu, the Queen Mother is critically ill!" ”

"What did you say?" The husband was shocked and hurriedly said: "When the wedding ceremony was held during the day, wasn't my grandmother still good and dignified, how could she be critically ill all of a sudden?" ”

"The villain doesn't know, but this is news from Baining Palace, and there shouldn't be any fake." Before the palace people could speak, the husband had already left quickly, and Yiguang hurriedly followed, "The concubine knows medical skills, maybe she can help." ”

"It's fine." The husband nodded disapprovingly.

The two hurried all the way, and soon arrived at the Baining Palace, the main hall was brightly lit, and all the imperial doctors were there, kneeling on the ground with dead faces.

Seeing the Queen Mother lying on the bed and dying, her husband had a sour nose, stepped forward, held her thin hand tightly, and choked up: "Grandmother, my grandson is here!" ”

Hearing her husband's voice, the Queen Mother slowly opened her eyes, and her cloudy eyes were filled with the same love for her husband as always, "The mourning family wanted to survive today, but it's a pity that ...... I can't hold it out. ”

"No, Grandmother will be fine." Fucha said eagerly, and cast his gaze at Yiguang, who was holding the pulse of the Queen Mother's other hand, but unfortunately, it was Yiguang's shaking of his head that waited.

Fu Cha said bitterly: "How can it be so fast? Obviously he was still very energetic during the day. ”

Yiguang picked up the porcelain vase that fell on the ground, which was supposed to contain the life-sustaining pill she made for the Queen Mother, but now it was empty, "The Queen Mother should have eaten the remaining life-sustaining pills in one go, stimulating the remaining essence in her body, and she looked full of energy in a short period of time, as if she had recovered from her illness, but once the essence was exhausted, she would have no way to return to heaven." ”

The Queen Mother pulled out a weak smile, "The grandson of the mourning family is married, so naturally he can't be absent." ”

"Grandmother ......" thought that her grandmother, who had loved her for more than 20 years, was about to leave, and her husband couldn't help but cry.

The Queen Mother stroked her husband's twitching shoulders with difficulty, "Don't cry; Birth, old age, sickness and death, no one can escape, to be able to see you married, the mourning family is already satisfied. ”

Hearing this, the husband became more and more sad, and choked up: "The grandson is reluctant to grandmother. ”

The Queen Mother said pityingly: "The mourning family can no longer accompany you in the future, you must be careful, don't be confused by the villain, and ruin the country that your father has worked so hard to build." As she spoke, she said earnestly: "You have to be forgiving and forgiving, you have to remember." ”

"My grandson remembered." The husband nodded vigorously, and tears fell uncontrollably.

The Queen Mother nodded tiredly and said, "The mourning family wants to say a few words alone with Yiguang, so you all step down." ”

After everyone withdrew from the main hall, the Queen Mother looked at Yiguang who was wearing the queen's wedding dress and said, "Rong'er is dead, isn't it?" ”

Yiguang was shocked, she and her husband were afraid that the Queen Mother would not be able to withstand this blow due to her serious illness, so Wu Rong's affairs had been firmly concealed, and she was not allowed to advance anything in front of the Queen Mother, how could she know?

The Queen Mother saw the doubts in Yiguang's heart, and said weakly: "So many people come in and out, and there is always a leak of half a word. ”

Yiguang said helplessly: "When the granddaughter-in-law rushed over, the county lord had already committed suicide by hanging from the beam. As she spoke, she bowed down and kowtowed, "My granddaughter-in-law has been entrusted by my grandmother, so I ask my grandmother to punish her." ”

The Queen Mother sighed, her cloudy eyes mixed with regret and relief, "The mourning family doesn't know the specific situation, but the mourning family knows that you have done your best, get up." After Yiguang sat down on the edge of the bed, she sighed with emotion: "Maybe this is Rong'er's life, her heart is higher than the sky, and her life is thinner than paper." ”

Yiguang said softly and comfortingly: "In the next life, Miss Wu will definitely vote for a good family, be safe and secure, and live a long life." ”

"I hope so." The Queen Mother sighed, looked at Yiguang and said: "You are a good girl, and the mourning family can also see that the poor child really likes you, but you have to remember that the king is always the king, and the king is like a tiger, don't follow in the footsteps of the soldiers and Wu Rong." ”

Yiguang could see that the Queen Mother really regarded her as her granddaughter-in-law, and for his sake, she said tearfully: "Thank you grandmother, granddaughter-in-law remember your teachings." ”

"Just remember...... Queen Mother bowed her head, and the next moment, her eyes suddenly widened, and she stretched out to the void with excitement, and murmured: "Zhu Fan, Zhu Fan......"

Yiguang knows this name, it is Fucha's grandfather, the husband of the Queen Mother, who passed away many years ago.

The Queen Mother's hand was halfway outstretched, fell down, and hung motionless on the edge of the bed, never lifted again......

This night, the palace people's sharp report of the funeral spread throughout the palace, "The Queen Mother." ”

The queen mother passed away, the saddest thing is the husband, personally for the queen mother's soul, on the day of the funeral, he all the way to help the soul cry; and ordered the whole country to mourn together, and forbade pleasure and marriage for one year.

In order to avoid seeing things and thinking about people, at the suggestion of Bo Yao, he simply moved to Guanwa Palace, and the government also moved to Guanwa Palace.

Fucha's move, so that Wen Chong was overjoyed, you must know that this palace was built by him, there are many secret passages inside, it just so happens that the dormitory where Fucha lives is in a secret passage, as long as he sneaks into the secret passage, you can hear Fucha's every move, word and deed.

Since then, Wen Chong has come to the palace through the secret passage every day, eavesdropping on the affairs of the court, and after many days, he really heard a very important thing.

Since being snubbed by her husband, Bo Ya has been trying her best to regain the holy family, and every time she sees her husband, she sings praises and pleases in every possible way; It's a pity that his husband has always treated him lightly, far less than Fan Li.

Bo Yao was jealous and hateful, remembering that Gongsun Li had passed Fan Li, and it was very likely that it was Zipi, so he immediately sent someone to Yue Guo to investigate, and I don't know what method he used, but he really found out the details of Fan Li.

Bo Yao was overjoyed, and he thought that this time he could completely get rid of Fan Li, but he was not angry, first, only based on Bo Yao's words, he could not be sure that Fan Li was Zipi; Second, Fan Li is indeed a rare talent, both civil and military, even if he is really Zipi, the first thing that Fucha thinks of is not to get rid of him, but to let him sincerely take refuge in Wu Guo.

Fucha's attention to Fan Li made Bo Yao more and more uneasy, and after thinking about it for a while, he came up with a poisonous plan, and said with a smile: "The king wants to know if Fan Li is Zipi, and whether he really takes refuge in our Wu country, and there is a way for the ministers." ”

Fucha said with interest: "What way? ”

Bo Yao smiled and said two words, "Fa Yue!" ”

The husband was stunned and said, "Attack Yueguo?" ”

"Exactly." Bo Yao said with a smile: "If Fan Lixin is here with the king, then he will definitely help the king completely eliminate the Yue Kingdom; Otherwise, he will stop it in every possible way. ”

Fucha hesitated: "In the past few years, the more defeated Qi has lost a lot of national strength. ”

Bo Yao hurriedly said: "I have a lot of people in Wu Guodi, and the loss is nothing at all; Coupled with the wise leadership of the king in the past few years, today's national strength has long been strong in the past, but it is a hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is not a problem to destroy a single Yue country. As he spoke, he added: "The minister is willing to lead the troops to go out to open up the territory for the king, and then die." ”

"This matter is very important, and let this king think again." Although Bo Ya blew the sky wildly, the husband was always worried.

When their monarchs and ministers spoke, Wen Chong was in the secret passage, eavesdropping, and heard that the villain Bo Yao was angry in order to deal with Fan Li's instigation of King Wu to fight Yue, but he was afraid of being heard by his husband, so he didn't dare to speak, so he only scolded in his heart.

After waiting for a while, after making sure that Fucha and Bo Yao had left, Fang scolded a few words angrily, and then left the secret passage.

Wen Chong never imagined that those few angry scoldings were already a big disaster.

After the husband left the dormitory, he wanted to visit Yiguang, but after walking a few steps, he remembered that he forgot to take the things he wanted to give to Yiguang, so he turned back, but as soon as he entered the hall, he heard someone who seemed to be talking, but in the hall except for him, there was only Wang Shen who followed behind, and neither of them spoke, this voice ...... Where did it come from?

Fucha was a very suspicious man, and immediately ordered someone to search for him, although to no avail, but since then, he has kept his mind.

Two days later, he heard the faint sound of footsteps again, and this time, he ordered the guards to thoroughly inspect the dormitory, brick by brick, and under such a meticulous search, it was found that there was a secret passage hidden in the hall, and the entrance was under his couch.

The thought of sleeping soundly under the eyes of the enemy every day, like a long knife hanging from his neck from time to time, almost made him sweat.

The husband was furious, but he didn't say anything about it, and the wind and waves in the palace were calm, as if nothing had happened.

The next day, as usual, Wen Chong came to the couch of the husband through the secret passage, and before he could stand firmly, he was captured by the guards who had been ambushed here in advance and escorted to the husband.

Seeing the Wen Chong, where would the husband not understand that the reason why the Wen Chong offered his family wealth to build the Guanwa Palace was for today.

He immediately put Wen Chong in the dungeon, and sent someone to interrogate him day and night, and issued a death order, he must pry Wen Chong's mouth open.

All this was done in secret, except for Wang Shen and a few cronies, no one knew, and even Yiguang was kept in the dark, but Fan Li sent news that Wen Chong had been missing for several days, and no one was found.

On this day, the weather was just right, Yiguang took the herbs to the courtyard to dry, and suddenly, a pair of hands wrapped around her waist from back to front, startling her, and only after seeing the comer clearly, she breathed a sigh of relief and sneered: "Why did the king become so naughty?" ”

"Scaring you?" The husband walked around to her and gently caressed her face, which was a little red from the sun.

Yiguang couldn't help but laugh and said deliberately: "Yes, how is the king going to compensate his concubines?" ”

The husband thought about it in embarrassment, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, this king brought something today, otherwise it would really stump you." As he spoke, he glanced at Wang Shen, who was holding the brocade box, who stepped forward knowingly, opened the brocade box, and inside were two puppets, a man and a woman, about the height of only one palm, but extremely delicate, eyes, ears, mouth, nose, hands and feet, even the clothes, were layered, the embroidery was exquisite, everything was the same as a real person, but it was shrunk several times.

Yiguang carefully looked at the two puppets, and found that the facial features and eyebrows were very similar to her and her husband's errand, and even the clothes were the same as the ones they wore when they got married, the woman's long sleeves were flying, as if dancing, and the man's hand was holding a sword, as if he was dancing.

The voice of the husband like a spring sounded in Yiguang's ears: "This is carved by this king to let the skilled craftsmen dance together on the night of your wedding, do you like it?" ”

Looking at the pair of puppets, Yiguang's heart was filled with endless soft affection, and he said with a smile: "The king is so attentive, how can the concubine not like it." ”

"That's good." Fucha's eyes were full of pampering when he looked at Yiguang, "Look at their feet." ”

Yiguang turned the two puppets upside down, only to see that the sole of the man's foot was engraved with the word "one", the sole of the woman's foot was engraved with "Shengshi", and the other foot was engraved with "double".

"One, one, life, two?" Yiguang muttered these words that seemed to have no connection at all, and said suspiciously, "What does this mean?" ”

Seeing Yiguang's puzzled look, Fucha grinned and showed a bright smile, "The queen has always been smart and wise, so you might as well think about it." “

"The king is selling the pass." Yi Guangjiao sneered, and then focused on those words, and after combining them a few times, she finally guessed the mystery, and said with a quiet smile: "One life and one couple." ”

"Exactly!" The husband clenched her hand and said solemnly: "In this life, no one wants this king, as long as you, the queen of this king." ”

"Concubine...... It was originally the king's. The latter words Yiguang said as lightly as a mosquito, but he was still heard by the husband, who was suddenly in a good mood and laughed loudly, but Yiguang laughed embarrassedly, and turned away with a red face, "Ignore you!" ”

"Okay, okay, this king doesn't laugh, he doesn't laugh." Having said that, Fucha couldn't help but laugh out loud, which made Yiguang shy.

When this laughter came, the husband said, "Do you know why there are only two ones on the feet of this king?" ”

"The concubine doesn't know."

Fu Cha Zhengse said: "Two ones, both on behalf of you and me, but also on behalf of the king alone is not complete, only when I meet you, this king's life will be complete and complete!" ”

Yiguang was moved, but he deliberately said: "It's really nice to say, it seems that the king coaxes those beauties and nobles on weekdays, and practices a mouthful of good words." ”

Fucha thought that she really didn't believe in herself, and couldn't help but be a little anxious, "This king swears that he has never spoken to others. If you don't believe me, you can ask Wang Shen, who is best known by his side all day long. ”

Fucha is not a person who is good at talking about love, and he is the king of a country, and women all over the world are flocking to him, so he doesn't need to say love words at all. In this world, there is only one Yiguang who can make him think about it and please him everywhere.

Seeing the serious and anxious appearance of the husband, Yiguang couldn't hold back any longer, and laughed out loud, "The concubine is joking with you, you are still serious." ”

The husband reacted, angry and funny, flicked her smooth forehead with his fingers, and scolded with a smile: "Okay, you girl, even this king is cheating, it's really getting more and more unruly." ”

Yiguang stroked his forehead, and was about to speak, when he accidentally saw the year, month and day engraved at the feet of the puppet, those words were extremely small, and if you didn't look closely, you couldn't find it at all, and the day of the payment was seven days ago, which means that it was already done at that time.

She said casually: "Since it was made five days ago, why did the king only bring it today?" ”

"I was supposed to bring it seven days ago, but I didn't expect it to ......" In the middle of the words, the husband suddenly stopped, and Yiguang said suspiciously: "What did you expect?" ”
