87 Check the pregnant
The fire on the oil lamp was extinguished, Qiu Xiaobei sealed the small bottle, she helped Fan Shenxi to sit back in the wheelchair, and was about to report the situation, when she saw two upside-down corpses suddenly stood up.
Eleven Twelve immediately stood in front of Qiu Xiaobei and Fan Shenxi vigilantly, but the two dry corpses did not mean to attack them again, but walked towards the ditch, and when they reached the side of the ditch, they both fell down without hesitation.
Not only them, but the four dried corpses of the other two pieces of ground also jumped into the ditch, and they floated into the silver water, converged into the direct ditch, and then washed into the silver lake.
The ditch was three or four meters wide, which was a long distance for Qiu Xiaobei, but it was okay for the conscious eleven and twelve, and with her and Fan Shenxi, they jumped to the opposite land, and came to the silver water lake along the ditch of the direct current.
Really walk here, in order to feel the magnificence of this silver lake more, look down, at least ten zhang high, except for the platform they are standing on now, and another platform next to the DC ditch, there is no place to stay, a circle is full of towering and magnificent stone walls, the whole look, is a very big and very large well.
The six dried corpses washed into the lake and sank, and the surface of the silver lake looked very calm.
Qiu Xiaobei stared at Yinshui like that, and looked at it and found that Yinshui Lake actually began to smoke, one, two, three...... Countless streaks of green smoke rose up, and finally in mid-air, streaks of green smoke twisted and regrouped into armor soldiers, and at the forefront, it was the armor general, the empty helmet still nodded at her.
Qiu Xiaobei looked sideways at Fan Shenxi in surprise, and found that he was still frowning slightly and observing Yinshui Lake, eleven or twelve, and looked at the surrounding mountain walls by the way, and no one's eyes stayed on the armor soldiers in the air.
Fan Shenxi sensed her gaze and raised his head: "What? β
"No, nothing, I just don't understand whether this place is a natural phenomenon that already exists, or if the queen mother made it, hehe, if the queen mother made it, it would be really amazing, but I don't know, where is the thing that Gonggong Ke said left for you." She smiled a very well-behaved smile.
Fan Shen looked at her suspiciously a few times before saying, "Your mother-in-law's ability is naturally great. β
Qiu Xiaobei: "......"
"Let's see if it's silver water first, if not, we can go down and have a look." Fan Shenxi turned back to business, and asked Eleven Twelve to find a way to explore the silver water, the lake is too deep to reach, but there is a ditch next to it, and the silver water in it is easier to touch.
Eleven, who was carefully poking into the silver water in the ditch with his belongings, took the opportunity to focus on the armor soldiers that no one could see in the air.
Because of the psychedelic things before, her liking for these armorers had now diminished, and she glared at the general with exasperation, asking them what was going on with her eyes.
"I'm sorry to frighten you," said the armored general, "but we are also doing what we are told, and it is the marshal who tells us that if the prince gets the conditions to come here, he will have to pass a few tests." β
So that was just a test?
Qiu Xiaobei roared indignantly in her heart, her mother-in-law is too ruthless, if it weren't for her, God knows what would happen to them.
The armored general seemed to hear her heart, and hurriedly defended their marshal: "This is a test of Your Highness's will and observation, although everything they see is fake, but because of the fake, there are mistakes in many details, if you can observe carefully, you can find out, of course, the more important thing is to see if Your Highness really has affection for you." β
[Is this last point important?] How is it the same as the bloody drama Mary Sue? γ
The armor general didn't understand the last two words, but he "listened" to the first sentence: "Of course it's important, since you and Your Highness are already husband and wife and have given birth to an heir, you should understand what kind of character Your Highness has, the marshal has high hopes for him, and he is afraid that His Highness will become a cruel and disobedient king if no one controls him in the future, so you should be able to understand, which is why, the condition for him to enter here is that he must have an heir." β
It seems that there is a lot of stuff to be handed over to Fan Shenxi...... But: [You haven't thought about it, what if you really hurt me and cause me to move the tire just now?] If Your Highness hadn't recognized me and protected me without taking care of himself, I might have been killed by that dry corpse, and by then, the grandson that your marshal had so hard to have would be gone. γ
The armored general sweated for a moment: "Since you have said it, if that shadow guard really hurts you, it means that you have not been really hurt, you are so smart, you still can't figure it out?" How could the marshal really let ...... Your own daughter-in-law and grandson are affected, and as for the matter of the corpse doing to you, if Your Highness does not arrive in the end, the corpse will not really hurt you. β
[But it hurt Fan Shenxi, that stick can be beaten down, and the dry corpse must be very heavy. γ
"The marshal has accumulated countless feats on the battlefield and has been injured countless times, as the son of the marshal, the new lord we are about to support, this injury should not be considered ......"
Qiu Xiaobei glared at them resentfully, indicating that he didn't want Fan Shenxi to be injured, and it was wrong to let him get hurt, and the rest of the armor general's words couldn't be said.
Qiu Xiaobei snorted in his heart and asked silently: Then what test will you have next?
"Not for the time being, the rest of the tests are in the future, it depends on whether you can go that far."
[Then, what about the things to give His Highness? γ
The armor general told her to step back, and she stepped back, and one foot suddenly sank down, startling her, and when she saw that it was a square stone, she had stepped on.
A rumbling sound sounded, and Fan Shenxi, who was studying the silver water, looked over at the same time, and saw that beside Qiu Xiaobei, a stone was rising little by little, and it only stopped when it rose to a stone pillar more than one meter high.
The three of them came around, and Qiu Xiaobei smiled awkwardly: "I, I'll just walk around and take a look, I don't know how to step on this." β
Fan Shenxi stared at her, but said to Eleven Twelve: "Check it." β
Later, Eleven and Twelve found a small mechanism in the stone pillar, a small stone mezzanine, in which lay a token with the same symbol as the one on the armor of the Armored General, and a map made of sheepskin.
Fan Shen looked at it and his brows shrank: "This place seems to be the location where the strange army disappeared in the first place." β
"Is that what you mean by going to find that strange army?" Qiu Xiaobei asked Fan Shenxi, but his eyes secretly aimed at the armor general, but the armor general did not answer her question, but pointed to the flat land on the right across the ditch.
Qiu Xiaobei saw it, and hurriedly said to Fan Shenxi: "Let's go over there and have a look, there is an organ here, maybe there is one over there." β
Fan Shenxi obeyed the man who married and followed his wife, and naturally listened to his wife, so they shifted their position to the other side, Qiu Xiaobei stepped on a mechanism according to the guidance of the armor general, and "unintentionally" stepped on a mechanism, this time there was no stone pillar rising, but there was a gossip arc in the middle of the flat ground with two doors open left and right, and there was a small stone cave at the bottom, where many boxes covered with ash were placed, and Eleven carefully opened one of them, and it was a box full of jewels.
Don't look at Fan Shenxi's wealth now, but you must know that what is needed most for fighting a war is silver, and he is now diverting the secret arsenal under the farm where Tong Shupei is being held for his own use, and rebuilding a new arsenal, which requires a lot of expenses, as well as materials for Tong Shupei's research, and the silver flows out like water.
Moreover, the queen has been dead for many years, and the country that was pacified by her in the early years is now ready to move again, like the Dacheng country that stirred up the inner six divisions, and the Bauhinia country, the hometown of Concubine Li, has also moved a lot recently, once the war starts, he, the prince, is estimated to have no way to stay out of the matter, not to mention that he may not be able to fight with his father or brother in the future, once there is a fight, grain, grass, weapons, protective gear, etc., etc., etc., as the so-called, raising an army and then arming it will eat down several rich businessmen.
These jewels were obviously prepared by the queen for Fan Shenxi.
It's money, it's a token that can summon soldiers and horses, and it's a map that can find strange soldiers, and even the money is ready, her mother-in-law is ...... Naked support for his son's rebellion?
Fan Shenxi stared at those jewels, and he didn't know what he was thinking under his heavy face, eleven or twelve went to the neighborhood to try if he could find anything, and Qiu Xiaobei, who didn't get the "hint" again, knew that most of them couldn't find anything else, and it was also determined that the Yinshui people couldn't touch it, she silently stayed by Fan Shenxi's side, who was obviously in a bad mood, while secretly communicating with the armor generals with her eyes.
[Is that all?] γ
"Of course...... No, as I just said, the rest of the rest will have to come back one day to get the rest. β
Qiu Xiaobei pursed his lips, making it so mysterious and so troublesome, that is, one day in the future, they will come back here again?
[General, can I ask you a question? γ
"Princess, excuse me."
[I've heard a lot about my mother-in-law...... cough, the legend of the queen's mother, she is a very powerful character, needless to say, but because of this, I have always wondered, why would she marry the emperor when she is as idealistic and ambitious as she is a marshal? γ
Qiu Xiaobei noticed that when she asked this question, the general who had also restrained his yin qi with his harmonious qi suddenly couldn't restrain it, and the yin wind blew, and the calm silver water paste followed the waves.
Not only the general, but also the soldiers behind him.
[Yes, I'm sorry, if I asked what I shouldn't have asked, just because I didn't say, can you not be angry, don't be angry! ] A ghost of the general's level, she may not be able to control it, and if she makes any movement, it will definitely make Fan Shenxi suspicious.
The armor general hurriedly restrained his anger, and even forced the soldiers behind him to retreat, so that they were sober and sober, and the amazing yin wind just now dissipated instantly, and the armor general apologized: "Please forgive me, I didn't hurt you, right?" β
[No, it's okay. γ
The armored general sighed: "There is nothing that can't be said about this, we just thought that the marshal entered the palace in such a humiliating way at the beginning, and finally ...... I can't help it. In fact, it's good to say it so that you know, it can give you a wake-up call. β
He was silent for a moment, not knowing whether he was sorting out his emotions or what he wanted to say, but when he opened his mouth, he said something else: "Back then, before the marshal married the emperor, there was a saying. β
[What? γ
"Whoever wins today's song wins the world."
Qiu Xiaobei is stunned, very, very clichΓ© sentence, she has seen this kind of language countless times on TV.
Hearing Qiu Xiaobei's heart, the armor general also said: "Yes, this is like a word in the play, but just such a sentence ruined the marshal's body." β
"We all know that this sentence is not true, but there are countless people in the world who are willing to believe it, especially those who want to be kings and overlords, and they will not let go of any possibility, even if they don't believe it themselves, just in case they won't let the marshal marry someone else, the best way is to get it yourself."
"And at that time, the marshal swept away all countries, and her ability was seen by everyone, which further verified that sentence."
[So, what means did our saint use to force my mother-in-law to marry him? Qiu Xiaobei was very angry, it was her husband's mother, her mother-in-law, how could such a powerful woman be easily deceived by a little trick, it can be seen that the damage to Ling Jinge at that time must have been not small, so she would be compromised.
Regarding this, the armored general did not say it explicitly, probably to maintain a little dignity of the marshal, he only said: "The rumor is powerful, when everyone thinks that this thing is true, then it becomes true even if it is false, especially when the rumor starts to spread is a person of high moral standing and convincing." β
Qiu Xiaobei understood as soon as he heard it: [Who is it, 'The one who wins the song of today wins the world', who said this sentence? γ
"In our Dafan Dynasty, there was an emperor who had an incomparably noble status when he was alive, and now after the saint boarded the plane, he relied on it very much, the national teacher!"
"Huh?" Qiu Xiaobei was a little surprised, she had heard of the national teacher, but this national teacher was very low-key, it was said that he would calculate red and white things for the royal family, or watch the stars at night, and report blessings and misfortunes to remind everyone, just like when the prince got married, it was this national teacher who set the day for him and Wei Qing, except for that, I had never heard of him doing anything, discussing state affairs and the like, and I had never seen the national teacher follow the emperor.
It can be said that it is very high-minded and does not get involved in any national politics at all.
Anyway, no matter how you look at it, it's not the same as the national teacher with a lot of power described by the armor general.
"How?"
Qiu Xiaobei's inadvertent tone attracted Fan Shenxi's attention.
"No, no." Qiu Xiaobei smirked, "Ah, have you found anything?" She asked Eleven Twelve, who had just come back.
Eleven and Twelve shook their heads, Qiu Xiaobei looked at them, and listened to the words of the armored general in his ears: "Okay, you should go, I hope to see you again, at that time, I should be able to see the cute little highness." β
Qiu Xiaobei couldn't help but turn his head to look at it, and suddenly seemed to see a face appear in the general's helmet, smiling and nodding at her, and then, they turned into green smoke again and burrowed into the silver water lake.
Then, she heard Eleven's shout: "Your Highness, this silver water seems to be rising?" β
Qiu Xiaobei probed and found that the water level of Yinshui Lake had indeed risen a lot, and it was still rising, Fan Shen looked at Yinshui calmly, and said, "It seems that the queen mother only allows us to bring these things, which is to drive us away." β
Qiu Xiaobei: "......"
She genuinely doubted that Fan Shenxi had heard her and the armor general's words, otherwise how could she judge so accurately?
"Let's go, take as many of these boxes as you want." He did not hesitate to order a retreat, nor did he force that he could take all the jewels with him.
Eleven and Twelve first sent Fan Shenxi and Qiu Xiaobei out of the small arch, then took the boxes out back and forth, and finally closed the small arch when the silver water rose to the ground and spread to the small arch.
As Fan Shen Xi guessed, the small arch completely sealed the silver water inside.
It will be remembered that they were really lucky, if it had been flooded with silver water at that time, and they would have all died here if they had opened the little arch, and Eleven Twelve had tried, and had just put a stick into the water, and it had not melted or anything, but it had been frozen with a layer of lime.
If the dignitaries are sealed up by "lime", they will suffocate to death.
Back in the courtyard, after Qiu Xiaobei washed, she fell asleep, she was really tired.
Fan Shenxi received a secret letter from the East Palace, he smiled coldly after reading it, burned the letter casually, and said to Li Gonggong: "The painting of the palace maid should also be sent back to the East Palace, right?" β
"No, the painting is so good, it should be shown to the crown princess." Gonggong Li said in understanding, and immediately went down to deal with it.
Fan Shenxi retreated from others, returned to the bed, and hugged the sleeping Qiu Xiaobei into his arms, which made Qiu Xiaobei twist when he was moved, and he couldn't twist his strong arms, so he found a more comfortable one, and stopped moving.
I'm really tired.
Fan Shenxi smiled slightly, stared at her for a long time before closing his eyes.
What's more beautiful than having a good night's sleep with your wife?
β¦β¦
The East Palace will not be very calm.
Wei Qing called a trustworthy imperial doctor, called the women in the East Palace to her dormitory two or three, two or three, and asked the imperial doctor to take their pulses one by one, under the pretext that it was for their good and to check their bodies, because before the Black Wind Plague, Fan Shenxi had said that he would do an examination for the palace people in the entire East Palace, and Wei Qing would borrow it, which is a good thing, who can refuse, no matter how unfavored the crown princess is, it is also the crown princess.
Although the palace maids were nervous and didn't know what to do with the pulse, they were afraid that the princess would find out what to do to them, and they saw the princess sitting on it and drinking tea slowly, and the smile on her mouth was particularly penetrating, as if she was going to eat them.
Fortunately, after taking the pulse, the imperial doctor shook his head at Wei Qing, and Wei Qing waved them to leave, and then the next wave of people came in.
Wei Qing had a personal choice in her heart, so these palace maids all checked that they were not pregnant, and she was not in a hurry, she was just afraid of guessing wrong, and she was worried that Fan Shenxi would really hide people among ordinary palace maids, just in case she asked the imperial doctor to simply check them all.
Xiao Tao said: "Niangniang, most of the palace maids have been checked, and even our people have not been spared, and now there are only the three Jingning people who are guarding the prince's bedroom, and the four Jing'an who follow the prince to the other courtyard." β
"Wait for the other courtyard first, go and invite the three of Jingning over."
Jing Ning led the two sisters over soon and said goodbye to Wei Qing: "The crown princess and the princess called the slaves and maids to come over, do you have any orders?" β
"It's nothing, I just think that the black madness has passed for a while, and the palace is worried that there will be any residue, so let the imperial doctor check it for you, just in case."
"Oh?" Jing Ning is not as easy to fool as ordinary palace maids, "Only check women? β
"Check the women first, then check the eunuchs, what's the problem?"
"The slave thinks she's healthy and doesn't want to check it?"
Wei Qinghu looked at Jing Ning suspiciously: "It's just to ask for a peace pulse, why is Miss Jing Ning so nervous?" She raised her chin, "Whether you want it or not, you have to let the imperial doctor examine it, which is related to the health and tranquility of the entire East Palace." β
"Black madness is long gone."
"What if? Come on, this Jingning girl may not be convenient, you can help. β
Then two eunuchs came up and wanted to forcibly press Jing Ning, and Jing Ning opened them: "Why bother, the slave and maid let you check." β
As he spoke, he handed his hand out and asked the Imperial Physician to put his wrist on it, and after that, the Imperial Physician shook his head at Wei Qing again.
Wei Qing snorted: "Miss Jingning is physically strong, that's the best, after all, she is the one who serves the prince, and she can't be sloppy at all." β
"Yes, follow the teachings of the mother."
Wei Qing looked at her humble but not humble appearance, and suspected in her heart, if someone around Jing Ning was pregnant with a child, she would obviously know that she was going to take the pulse of all the palace maids now, but this Jing Ning didn't show any traces, did she really don't know, or was it hidden deeply?
If the pregnant person is Jing'an, and the prince is also serving by his side, one may rely on a child to soar in the future, and the other will be calm?
Isn't it Jing'an?
Wei Qing was secretly lucky, whether it was Jing'an or not, she couldn't rest assured if she hadn't checked her.
"Crown Princess," Jing Ning asked politely, "is there anything else?" Although the prince is not there, the slaves and maids also have a lot to do. β
Wei Qing rolled her eyes and waved her hand to let her go, Jing Ning blessed her body in a proper manner, and then retreated and left in a regular manner, but Wei Qing was still so angry that she slapped the table: ", sooner or later, one day, this palace will kill you alive." β
"Don't worry, let her be arrogant for a few days." Xiao Tao coaxed her, and at this time, a little eunuch asked to see her, and when he came in, he handed over a thick envelope.
"What is this?" Wei Qing glanced at the envelope that Xiao Tao had taken over.
The little eunuch smiled and said, "Niangniang, this is a gift from the master above." β
"The master above?" Wei Qing furrowed his brows, not knowing what he thought.
"The things have been handed over to the mother, and the slave has retired."
After the little eunuch left, Xiao Tao flipped through the envelope: "Niangniang, what is so thick in this?" "It's almost enough to write a letter or two when you have something to do, it's so thick, you can't write a story and send it over, right?
"Just open it and look at it."
"Yes." Xiao Tao opened the seal of the envelope and took out a thick pile of drawing paper from it, and when Xiao Tao opened it, he found that there were two people drawn on it, some were watching a play together, some were picking fruits together, and some were walking and fishing together...... The man inside was sitting in a wheelchair, and the shadow of the prince could be seen from his simple facial features, and the woman could see that she was very beautiful, but Xiao Tao had never seen it.
