Chapter Twenty-Three: Tiger Poison Eats Seeds
"There's weirdness." Xinyue stood in front of the urn altar and paced back and forth: "I didn't expect the rumors to be true, and I didn't expect that the queen's heart would be so vicious." ”
Tang Ao listened to Xinyue's words and asked confusedly, "Do you know what's going on?" Something to do with the queen? Tang Ao's mind came up with memories from a few years ago, and the most impressive thing was a pair of jade feet, followed by that peerless face.
Xinyue looked at the floating bones, pinched her fingers with both hands like orchids, and her fingertips burst out with red and blue brilliance, falling on the urn altar like raindrops.
Tang Ao immediately saw a frightened scene, two vague figures emerged from the bones, their heads scattered like ghosts.
Xinyue sighed, there were words in her mouth, the red and blue shimmer continued to fall on the ghostly phantom, a quarter of an hour later, the two terrifying phantoms slowly dissipated, the bones were shattered into powder, and then Xinyue's face was even paler, her expression was tired, and her body trembled slightly.
Xinyue looked at Tang Ao with a questioning face, and explained: "I'm afraid you would never think of the identities of these two people, one is Queen Wang, and the other is Concubine Xiao Shu, legend has it that these two people were sent to the cold palace because they failed to compete for favor with the queen, and were later made into human beings by the queen." ”
"What is a human being?"
"He chops off the limbs of a man, gouges out his eyes, pours copper juice into his ears, and plucks out his tongue and dips it in a jar of wine......
Tang Ao listened to Xinyue's explanation, and couldn't help but shudder, what a cruel torture this is! And it was the Empress Wu Zetian who did all this, Tang Ao couldn't connect that beautiful woman with the torture in front of him.
Xinyue entered the palace a little later, but by chance I heard the old palace maid say this in private, and today it was confirmed that it came true, and the fear was even worse than Tang Ao, compared with the few things she had done for Wu Zetian, it was less than one percent in front of her, Xinyue knew that Wu Zetian was powerful, and she never thought that her heart was really so vicious.
"Xinyue, those two women locked up here are the prince's sisters, the prince was very angry just now, he will definitely go to the queen to theorize, maybe he will stab the emperor, how is this good?"
"Let's sneak over and have a look." Xinyue always felt that something was wrong, just now she resolved the two unjust souls in the urn, Xinyue could clearly feel that the two unjust souls were manipulated before their deaths, and the souls could be imprisoned in the urn, which is not an ordinary person's means.
Tang Ao and Xinyue were late, and there was just a fierce quarrel in Wu Zetian's dormitory, and the two hid behind a tree and saw Li Hong walk out of the dormitory with a pale face, and turned around to say something, and the sound of a broken teacup came from the dormitory.
Tang Ao saw that Li Hong did not return to the East Palace, but went straight to the Taiji Palace, guessing that Li Hong might not have asked for an explanation from the queen, so he went to the emperor instead.
Through today's two events, Tang Ao's good impression of Li Hong has increased greatly, seeing that Li Hong didn't even have a guard by his side, he coughed while walking, and wanted to follow, but was unexpectedly held down by Xinyue.
Xinyue sighed, stretched out her hand and pointed at the dormitory, and said in a low voice: "There are still people inside, let's go above." ”
Tang Ao's ear power is outstanding, but he can't compare with Xinyue, who has cultivated the Taishang Seven Star Method, seeing Xinyue pulling himself like a thief, Tang Ao asked in a low voice, "Aren't you always serving by the queen's side?" ”
"The queen's behavior in the past two years has been very strange, if it weren't for the queen's lack of dragon energy, I would have suspected that the treasure mirror was on the queen!"
This time, Xinyue took Tang Ao and landed on the glazed tiles of the dormitory, uncovering a few glazed tiles and peeking inside.
In the candlelight, Wu Zetian, who was dressed in a gorgeous costume, was full of anger, there were porcelain pieces scattered in front of him, his body trembled involuntarily, obviously he had not recovered from the anger, and he muttered vigorously: "Rebel ......"
Tang Ao glanced at it and subconsciously moved his head away, because the clothes on Wu Zetian's body were very thin, and the bandeau of the palace dress was almost loosened, exhaling and breathing, trembling slightly in the ups and downs.
The eyes were rude, but Tang Ao's ears were moving, listening to the movement in the dormitory, except for Wu Zetian's breathing, he didn't hear anyone else.
Wu Zetian opened his mouth to speak, but Tang Ao was almost called out in surprise: "Does your dragon san have any effect?" It won't hurt Hong'er, right? ”
"Niangniang, although rest assured, the poor dragon is scattered, but it only regulates the dragon qi on the prince's body, and it will never harm the prince's dragon body."
Tang Ao looked into the palace in astonishment, I don't know when, a middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest appeared next to Wu Zetian, and the first time he saw the Taoist priest, Tang Ao had an intuition that this Taoist priest and Master Xuyan, and even Xinyue around him, were all the same kind of people.
Xinyue glanced at Tang Ao as if she had a heart, and her eyes were even more shocked, she had been by Wu Zetian's side for a few years, but she didn't find that Wu Zetian had such a powerful person by her side, it seems that Wu Zetian's trust in her is very limited!
Wu Zetian's anger rested for a while: "Although Hong'er contradicted me and spoke for those two sluts, after all, it is my own flesh and blood, and my body is getting worse and worse, it may not be the effect of the dragon san , stop it first!" ”
"Poor Dao obeys Niangniang's orders, and there is one more thing, Poor Dao doesn't know whether to say it or not."
"But it doesn't hurt to talk about it."
"Recently, the emperor has often summoned Mrs. Wei into the palace, and occasionally stayed overnight, and Poor Dao found that Mrs. Wei seemed to be pregnant."
Wu Zetian's anger, which had just calmed down, rose again, and he reprimanded: "Shameless fox, she is too bold, you go and get rid of her for me." ”
"It's easy to get rid of Mrs. Wei, but the emperor ...... there" The Taoist priest hesitated a little in his words, obviously caring about the emperor's favor for Mrs. Wei.
Wu Zetian closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, and finally said in a deep voice: "Get rid of her." ”
The Taoist priest said that he obeyed the order and disappeared out of thin air in front of Wu Zetian, and this scene was also clearly seen by Tang Ao and Xinyue.
"Who is that Taoist priest?" Tang Ao and Xinyue left the roof of Wu Zetian's dormitory, and Tang Ao asked curiously, "It seems to be the same as you." ”
Xinyue nodded: "I have some vague impressions, it seems to be called Ming Chongyan, could it be that Ming Chongyan also got a certain Dao method in the Taishang Seven Star Method?" Then why did he bow down to the queen again? ”
Tang Ao thought of Wu Zetian's words just now that he wanted to get rid of someone: "Who is Mrs. Wei?" Is the queen afraid that Mrs. Wei will give birth to a dragon species? ”
Xinyue sneered: "Mrs. Wei is Helan Minyue, Helan Minzhi's sister, and the niece of the queen's mother. ”
Tang Ao suddenly realized, and then his heart tightened, Wu Zetian lightly wanted to get rid of Helan Minyue, and listening to what he said just now, the prince Li Hong's health deteriorated, which was directly related to Wu Zetian.
"Xinyue, what is Austracy? Could it be the poison in Li Hong's body? Is there an antidote? ”
Xinyue rolled her eyes: "Do you think I'm an immortal?" Know everything? Then I would have left the world a long time ago and entered the world of mirror flowers, no, that stinky Taoist priest's purpose looks the same as mine, and he has won the trust of the queen, I will meet him to see if he has really obtained the other inheritances of the Taishang Seven Star Method. ”
Tang Ao didn't expect Xinyue to leave as soon as he said go, and hung him on the treetops, Xinyue looked frizzy, don't suffer in the hands of Ming Chongyan!
When Tang Ao returned to the East Palace, he found that Li Hong had returned, and was immediately greeted by Li Hong.
"Tang Ao, have a few drinks with the palace!" Li Hong ignored etiquette and raised his hand to pour Tang Ao a glass of wine.
"Your Highness, your health is not good, it is better to drink less so as not to hurt your body." Tang Ao saw Li Hong bring the wine glass to him, how could he excuse himself, so he could only frown and drink.
The alcohol entered his throat, Tang Ao almost jumped up, as the wine entered his abdomen, Tang Ao clearly felt a tingling pain, a slight spasm occurred in his internal organs, and a clear stream immediately appeared in his mind, dissolving this uncomfortable feeling, this wine is poisonous, it may be the dragon dragon.
After experiencing it himself, Tang Ao found that the toxicity of the dragon san was not strong, but the damage to the body was irreversible, if it wasn't for the fact that he had swallowed so many elixirs, this glass of wine, I was afraid that it would cut off his life span for two or three years.
Tiger poison does not eat children, but the queen uses this poison on her own flesh and bones, which makes Tang Ao can't help but feel a chill down his spine, and the impression left in his heart a few years ago has gradually collapsed.
Tang Ao suddenly remembered what Xuyan had said, and what he saw may not be true, and in one day, the impression of Li Hong and Wu Zetian had a shocking reversal in Tang Ao's heart.
"Your Highness, this wine can no longer be drunk." Tang Ao snatched the wine glass from Li Hong's hand, and his heart turned a thousand times, but he couldn't think of a way to detoxify Li Hong, and couldn't help but be annoyed, if he still had the ability to dream into the world of mirror flowers, even an ordinary elixir could make Li Hong alive!
Li Hong was already a little drunk, and his tongue was numb: "Tang Ao, this palace never thought that the queen mother would be such a person, and she would have imprisoned the two princesses for more than ten years, wearing tattered clothes and eating leftovers, so ...... Isn't that too much? ”
"Bengong went to intercede for the two sisters, but was reprimanded by the queen mother, the grievances of the previous generation, Bengong is not clear, but why should two innocent people be involved?"
"This palace went to find my father, Tang Ao, you would never have thought of it, this palace mentioned that the two sisters are nearly thirty years old and have not yet married, what do you guess my father said? They actually want to marry their two sisters to the guards in the palace, how can they marry my princess of the Tang Dynasty? ”
Li Hong's drunkenness became more and more obvious, he stood up slowly, and kicked over the table: "This palace, if you don't stay, the palace will leave here tomorrow, and if you can't see it, you won't feel so uncomfortable." ”
Tang Ao supported Li Hong and sent Li Hong back to the dormitory, but he didn't have the opportunity to meet the daughter of the Pei family who was frightened by him when he was a child.
The next day, when Tang Ao went to say goodbye to Li Hong and leave the palace, he learned that Li Hong had taken people out of Chang'an early in the morning and went to Luozhou Hebi Palace, claiming that it was hunting.
"I have to let Xinyue think of a way to detoxify the poison on Li Hong's body." Tang Ao was always worried about Li Hong's poisoning, but after searching all over the palace, he couldn't see Xinyue, and he was worried about Xinyue.
