The vast night came again, and I don't know that it was the cold of the autumn night that suppressed the fire poison on the human body; Or is it because the darkness hides the restless poisonous fire in the hearts of the restless people. In short, seeing that this day was about to pass, both the emperor and the lowly Li people breathed a sigh of relief. In the imperial city, the yamen of various ministries are still brightly lit and busy. We counted the news from all sides on this day and compiled the results of the survey from the surrounding counties. It should not be said that it is lucky or unfortunate, but this epidemic only appeared in the capital. Even in villages and towns half a day away from the city, there has been no one who has become ill.

In the Weiguo Mansion, Hongfu was also slightly pouting, listening to the news that the servants had inquired about. Whenever there is a natural or man-made disaster, there will be demons running away. This evil does not refer to the fierce beast Yonghe who caused all this. It's a group of gods and demons dressed in human skin.

"Guiyi Fang is a small Taoist temple that is not well known, and the Taoist is called Guiyi True Immortal. With four or five apprentices under his command, he rushed thirteen Dharma events in a row today! This righteous immortal was so tired that he fainted, and his disciples went around preaching his master's sneaky fighting method with the wind evil to save the common people, so that he could not bear it, and then he was tired. For a while, it became famous, and it is said that the profit from inviting them to do things has increased nearly tenfold! Aunt Fang sighed with emotion as she spoke.

However, what Aunt Fang didn't know was that just after the night fell, the "Guiyi Immortal" had already suffered a fire poison attack, and Wunei was burned to death in his Guiyi concept. And his disciples did not flee with the money in fear, but elected their senior brother to "inherit" their master's legacy. They were excitedly discussing how to preach the "Returning to the Righteous Immortals" to get rid of the evil plague after dawn, which eventually led to the entanglement of evil demons, and the all-night fighting method finally failed......

No one realized that the death of the Guiyi Immortal meant that the fire poison had begun to erode the human being.

"What works?" Hongfu didn't bother to pay attention to these small people who took advantage of the chaos to bewitch the people to make money.

"I guess it's useful. It is said that the head of the Changqing Daoist in the Mansion of the Kingdom of China went on to perform several rituals to exorcise evil spirits in several surrounding mansions. I don't know if it's the role of jade, or if the law is useful, but the children of these families haven't heard of any more accidents. After Aunt Fang finished speaking, she asked Hongfu: "Madam, will we also invite a Taoist master back tomorrow?" ”

Hongfu pondered for a while and shook his head: "Don't rush for the time being. There are no children in the house......"

The red clothes standing on the side heard a hint of gloom in the lady's tone, and couldn't help but raise their eyes and look at it with concern. The face was red, but there was no discoloration. "Zhiwen, are the two children of Zhiwu okay at the farm?"

Aunt Fang bowed her head, and couldn't help but show a pleased smile on her face: "Those two children have been practicing martial arts with their father since they were children, and they are physically strong, and they have nothing to do. The other children in Zhuangzi were all right. ”

"That's good, pack up, and we'll all move to Zhuangzi tomorrow. The house is closed, so don't leave anyone behind. I don't know how this epidemic will develop, and the emperor can't take care of Yun'er at the moment, and the situation in the capital is uncertain, so let's go out of the city to avoid it first. Speaking of Li Luoyun, who was trapped in the palace, Hongfu couldn't help but sigh, the Li family was anxious, and she also wanted to bring Luoyun back as soon as possible. But who would have thought that this wind evil would come so suddenly.

Aunt Fang wrinkled her eyebrows and thought for a while, then said hesitantly, "Madam, it's afternoon today." There were suddenly some rumors about the palace. ”

"About the palace? I heard that the queen mother is sick, what other gossip can be spread in the palace at this time? Red Whisk asked in surprise. When she first heard that the queen was ill, she also felt that Li Luoyun's efforts to enter Beijing to toss were all in vain.

"It is about the queen's illness, there are a lot of rumors, all of them are strange theories, but they are spreading."

"What's the matter? Let's hear it. "Gossip is the nature of every woman, and it just so happened that Jenier and Langxian came in with tea and soup, and several women sat together and listened to the story.

"There are a lot of rumors, all about Niangniang and His Royal Highnesses. There are several theories. There was nothing to do left and right for the time being, and Aunt Fang was also interested, sorted out her thoughts and began to gossip.

"It is said that the epidemic first came out of the palace, and several princes and daughters were infected with the disease. Even the newborn princess was infected. The imperial doctors in the palace can't cure this epidemic, and the little princess is young and weak, and she can't bear the fire poison. ”

Red Whisk thinks of the toddler who endured the pain and suffering in the swaddling clothes, and she also feels sad. "Can the little princess be saved?"

That's where the rumors arise. It is said that not only the little princess is fine, but even the other princes and princesses are fine. It is rumored that the queen mother was worried, and she danced barefoot at night to pray to God, and the ancestors of the Li family felt their love for their sons, took pity on their children and grandchildren, and gave them magic medicine to save the emperors and grandchildren. But the magic medicine can't be obtained in vain, so the eldest grandson queen sacrificed her own body yang longevity, in exchange for the magic medicine, and cured the little princess, but the queen ...... "unfinished words, everyone knows in their hearts, for the venerable, even if they are in a private house, some words are not easy to say."

"If the ancestor of the Li family really has a spirit, why don't you help Your Majesty get rid of all the epidemics in the capital." Red Whisk is very disdainful of such rumors, the ancestors, the destiny of heaven, are all left over from the time they fought for domination.

The girls laughed, and Aunt Fang also laughed a few times before she continued: "That's how it was passed on at first, and then many people naturally didn't believe it. Therefore, it is said that the Tao is what the queen is asking for, not the ancestor of the Li family. It's an immortal master who lives in the palace, and the back is almost the same. However, it is said that rumors from people in the palace confirmed that it is said that the queen mother was wearing a cloak, running barefoot in the palace, exhausting her efforts. Only then did he move the senior, give the elixir, and save the little princess. ”

"That's right...... Some can't imagine. Hongfu twisted his eyebrows and thought about it, it was hard to imagine that the dignified and elegant Empress Eldest Sun could do such an outrageous thing. Empress Changsun has always given people the feeling of calm and calm, and Mount Tai collapsed in front of her and her color remained unchanged. That kind of city government and bearing have always been admired by the red whisk.

"It's hard to imagine. But it is rumored that he has a nose and eyes, and it is said that General Qin led troops to guard Niangniang. ”

"Qin Qiong was also involved?"

"Yes, it is said that the queen fell unconscious after asking for the elixir. It was General Qin who obtained the elixir and distributed it to the princes. ”

"Could it be that there is any miracle medicine that can cure this epidemic?"

"I think there is, right? Regarding the identity of this immortal master, there are different opinions. There are many rumors that Sun Simiao and Sun Daochang's medical skills have been superb, and they are about to fly away, and they were begged by the queen mother, leaving a life-saving elixir. It is also said that the real person of the first emperor who enshrined the cultivation of Dacheng, has been living in seclusion in the Dan room in the west inner garden of Taiji Palace, refining the elixir, coinciding with this catastrophe, using the blood of the queen mother and the phoenix as a guide, this Dancheng was baked and saved the lives of the princes. ”

"Nishinaien?" Hongfu's sensitive nerves couldn't help but touch. To those who really know about it, these rumors are nothing more than absurd rumors. There has never been a lack of delusions and speculations about the Son of Heaven and the royal nobles in the common people's families, and no matter how absurd and bizarre the rumors are. But at this very time, such rumors cannot be easily ignored, especially when the rumors are all aimed at the queen and the "divine pill". "The inner garden of the palace is just a wall away from the market. But this palace wall is also like a moat, and ordinary people can only look up at the high wall for the rest of their lives, but cannot see the scene inside the wall. As he said to himself, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and he gradually felt the root of these rumors in his heart, "The West Inner Garden of Taiji Palace was built for the Emperor Taishang to maintain his residence back then. For the common people, it is not easy for them to know what the inner garden of the palace looks like, but they can also distinguish the difference between the inner garden and the west inner garden? ”

All the women are not stupid people, and when they heard the strangeness in Hongfu's words, they all put away their laughter and quietly listened to Hongfu's analysis. Aunt Fang thought for a while and said: "What Madame said is good, no matter which rumor it is, either the queen mother went to the West Inner Garden, or the master who refines the 'Divine Pill' lives in the West Inner Garden." ”

He said thoughtfully: "The rumors are true or false, if they are dispelled and spread rumors, what they want to say is nothing more than one thing: the queen mother got a medicine that can cure the epidemic in the West Inner Garden, and cured all the princes. ”

Red-clothed asked puzzled, "So what?" Wouldn't it be good if there was medicine that could cure the disease? ”

Hongfu chuckled when he heard this: "It's a good thing, but it's not easy to ask for this good thing." Didn't you see that the queen mother was sick? ”

"Maybe it's too precious?"

Hongfu shook his head: "The value of medicine only lies in whether it can cure diseases!" As for the high and low, it is determined by man. And what the people care about is not whether this medicine is expensive or not, but whether it can be used to save their children! ”

Thinking through the strings, he immediately understood the meaning of Hongfu's words: "Madame is so sure, the emperor can't come up with this medicine to cure the epidemic?" ”

Hongfu smiled meaningfully, and said with a light look in his eyes: "I haven't been to the West Inner Garden, and I don't know if there are any immortals who can do alchemy. But I happen to know that there is an idler with medicinal wine in the West Inner Garden doing chores! ”

The red clothes moved their eyebrows slightly, and they lowered their eyes and said nothing. Aunt Fang answered: "Madam refers to Li Gongzi? It was Li Gongzi who cured the little princess and the princes? That's a lot of work! Maybe His Majesty will release Li Gongzi and reward him again! Madam, do you want to inform Li Jiazhai about this? ”

Lang Xian raised his eyes to look at Aunt Fang, stopped talking, and turned his head to look at the red writh.

Hongfu shook his head with a calm face: "It takes time to do good deeds." The first to rot first, in the current situation in the capital, it is reluctant to cure several princes and princesses with that small gourd wine. But what about the people of the capital? What about the children of the hundreds of officials in the court? Qin Qiong personally stationed in the imperial city, and the Taiji Palace can be described as an impregnable wall. However, the queen mother fell ill this morning, and rumors spread all over the streets. No one is behind this, who believes it? ”

"Madame mean...... Someone wants to target Li Luoyun? Hongyi's eyes were always calm, as if she was really talking about the gossip of unrelated people, but in the eyes of others, her attitude inevitably seemed deliberate.

Hongfu didn't know what he was thinking, he was a little absent-minded, and said casually when he heard the words: "It's not enough, Yun'er is not so faced, but she just carried it by the way." After speaking, he lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, and instructed Aunt Fang: "Tell the people to pay more attention to this rumor when they go out to buy tomorrow morning." You don't need to go into the source, just listen to if there is any new talk coming out. If anyone really wants to take advantage of the opportunity to stir up chaos, the rumors will not stop there! ”

Aunt Fang nodded in response, and then asked, "What about moving to the manor?" ”

"The plan remains the same! The husband is not in the capital, so don't get wet in the muddy waters of the capital. ”

Seeing that Hongyi didn't speak, Juanier wanted to ask but was too timid to speak, so she had to ask: "If someone really wants to target Li Gongzi......"

"Then I have to leave!" Hongfu didn't wait for the strings to finish, so he interrupted her categorically, looked at the third daughter and explained: "Yun'er is in the palace, the emperor and queen need him, with Qin Qiong in charge and heavily guarded, it is already the safest place." Even if we take him out of the palace, we can't stop the covetousness of people with ulterior motives. If you say that the pickled tricks in the palace are murderous, don't forget that there is still a little ghost around Yun'er! ”

Thinking of the black tiger with unpredictable power, everyone couldn't help but be nervous, but they were also a lot more relieved. Listening to Hongfu continue: "If someone really wants to get Yun'er's medicinal wine, it is the next step to murder Yun'er in the palace. It's our house......" Speaking of this, Hongfu was suddenly stunned. The women didn't see the following, and looked at the red whisk in surprise, but they couldn't help but be surprised when they saw the change in their faces. I only heard Hongfu muttering to himself: "Two birds with one stone...... No, and the emperor...... Killing four birds with one stone......"

"Ma'am?!"

Red Fu took a long breath, looked around at the girls and said leisurely, "I hope I think too much." But there are always a lot of bold and ambitious people in this world, and I have accompanied my husband to fight with them for half my life, and I can't be careless. ”

"Madam, but there will be danger in the house?"

Hongfu nodded: "These days, the disturbance between the Baxia Camp and our Patriotic Mansion is too big, and it has already attracted the attention of some people. Although we are simple-minded, we have never been afraid to speculate on our opponents with the greatest malice. Cheng Zhijie's caution is for a reason. Originally, the husband was leading the troops outside, and His Majesty the Emperor would never tolerate someone touching my Patriotic Mansion at this time. But the epidemic has sudden, and I am afraid that some people will want to take this opportunity to attack us. ”

He asked puzzledly: "As Madame said, General Li is leading the troops outside, not in the court." Madame is not going to court, how else can they deal with us? ”

"Although you have experienced the difficulties of breaking your family, you don't understand the methods of those people. Believe me, even if one day the Patriotic Mansion is dilapidated and falling, and among the people who rush into the gate to raid the house, you will definitely not find those people! Red Whisk said casually, but it hit the sore spot of the strings. String's face darkened, hiding his face in the shadow of the candle flame. Red-clothed looked at her good sister worriedly, and Fenier knelt behind her and slowly rubbed behind her.

Hongfu was preoccupied, ignoring the heartache of her youngest daughter, and continued in a growing voice: "Attack the Weiguo Mansion, control Yun'er's family, get medicine and wine, win people's hearts, and attack the emperor's prestige, count in one fell swoop!" All they had to do was sit back at home, drink tea, and watch the situation unfold. Even if you fail, you can't hurt them. This is the Maison! ”
