Chapter 31: Moths to the Fire
"Queen Mother, were you joking with the grass people just now?" Su Chen asked in astonishment. Pen, fun, pavilion www.biquge.info beautiful woman is confused? actually asked me to drive the king of Huainan out of Luoyang City within three days. Lao Tzu doesn't dare to walk out of the palace now, what do I want like me, why can I fight the King of Huainan who is full of five stars of combat power?
"Do you dare to disobey the orders of the mourning family?" The Queen Mother slowly opened her starry eyes, and her eyes became more and more indifferent.
said that if you change your face, you will change your face, and there is no chance of easing at all, isn't this clearly sending Lao Tzu to death? I have no right, no reliance, no martial arts, and no wisdom, if I really confront the king of Huainan head-on, Lao Tzu is really a moth to the fire. Su Chen was so anxious that he almost stomped his feet, his heart was in a mess, there was no way to complete the task of a beautiful woman. Even if Lao Tzu mustered up the courage to fight to the death with the king of Huainan, the final outcome would definitely be dead without a place to be buried.
"There is one thing that the grass people don't understand, King Huainan is just a courtier, why don't you just take him down?" Su Chen said the doubts in his heart.
"King Huainan is one of the five feudal kings of the first emperor, with countless fierce generals under his command and 200,000 soldiers and horses. His strength has already exceeded the current strength of the imperial court, and if the mourning family takes him down, I am afraid that the Eastern Han Empire will change the sky. The Queen Mother shook her head helplessly and said.
"Since King Huainan's strength is so profound, how can the grass people be able to fight him?" Su Chen said with a sad face. With such a tough opponent, the beautiful woman actually let Lao Tzu take the lead? My biggest weakness is greed for life and fear of death, and my biggest advantage is making up nonsense. If the real gun is launched, Lao Tzu will definitely be scared to wet his pants. Su Chen was very remorseful in his heart, why did he go to Zhangjiajie to play in the first place? If you haven't been in a bungee jumping accident, you should be in school at this time.
At this moment, Su Chen misses the days of playing games in Internet cafes, the fox friends and dogs in the dormitory, the lingering shadows of his girlfriends, the spicy pot at the school gate, and the sweat on the basketball court. But since I came here inexplicably, I am worried every day. The carefree nature of the past has become an unattainable luxury.
"Really? If you're afraid, the mourners will drag you down and behead you right now. The Queen Mother threatened in a cold voice.
"You can't do that, we've just signed a contract. The grass people need to make the emperor recover within two years, and if you behead the grass people, wouldn't it be a violation of the agreement? If it spreads, how should the people of the world evaluate it? Su Chen said in shock. Beautiful woman, you are really not interesting, Lao Tzu's heart pulls out the cold drops.
"The mourning family has not had time to sign the pledge, and the agreement between us has not yet taken effect." The Queen Mother said as she played with the ruby on her armor.
"Are you forcing the grass people to die?" Su Chen looked at the Queen Mother pitifully and said. How can this be reasonable, Lao Tzu was really careless at that time.
"This is an opportunity, if you can grasp it, the mourning family will definitely not treat you badly." The Queen Mother said coquettishly.
Of course, Lao Tzu knows that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but Lao Tzu doesn't have any hole cards at all. Shangguan Ruxue's martial arts are not bad, but now that she has been seriously injured, even if her injuries are stabilized, it is estimated that she will not be able to defeat many of the guards of King Huainan. Do I need to rely on the forces behind Shangguan Ruxue? Do they dare to compete with the King of Huainan? I'm afraid it's enough to choke. If I don't agree to the beautiful woman, I have to go back to heaven now. If I promise a beautiful woman, I will be able to survive for at least three days. This deal is not kind, the grass and mud horse in Lao Tzu's heart have begun to gallop and shout. That's it, I agreed first, and then I found a way.
"The grass people will do their best to drive the King of Huainan out of Luoyang City within three days, and they will definitely not disappoint your expectations." Su Chen said in a resolute voice. My heart was pounding, this time the was blowing so hard that I almost flashed my tongue.
"Good, good, good!" The Empress Dowager clapped her hands at the corners of her mouth, and then she instructed the palace maid next to her, "Ling'er, you take Su Chen to Yuxuan Pavilion for dinner." ”
Su Chen hurriedly nodded happily in thanks, for fear that the Queen Mother would suddenly regret it. I can't help it, I'm really hungry. From the morning to now, I haven't eaten a drop of water, and after another toss, I am about to collapse at this time.
Ling'er walked lightly in front, Su Chen followed behind with her cooing belly, her eyes staring at Ling'er's round and slightly upturned pink buttocks, eager to swallow it as a steamed bun. has a colored heart but no color guts, and starves to death the second child.
It's really unaccustomed to the palace, Lao Tzu has to walk hungry for half an hour to eat lunch, Su Chen kept complaining in his heart. I don't know if I can survive for three days, eat a few rich court dishes, or die without regrets.
After arriving at Yuxuan Pavilion, the palace maids successively put dishes and pastries on the table. Simmered deer tendon in a casserole, crab roe tofu, salted crispy chicken, delicate jade bean cake, red dates and blood bird's nest to nourish the kidneys, creamy pine nut rolls, and many other specialties. Su Chen was dazzled and kept wiping his saliva.
"Sister Ling'er, you can also sit down and eat together." Su Chen picked up the chopsticks and stuffed a large piece of salted crispy chicken into his mouth, and then said vaguely.
"Master Su, you can enjoy it slowly, the slave and maid will retreat first." Ling'er said with a smile. Then he bowed and walked out gently.
There are so many delicacies, Lao Tzu can't eat them at all, and he doesn't even have a person to eat with him, Su Chen sighed secretly while gobbling it up. The flowing water is too urgent, and the deep palace is free. Thank you for the red leaves, so that you can go to the world.
"Sister Ling'er, can I pack it and take it back?" After eating and drinking, Su Chen called Ling'er in and asked.
"Packing? Mr. Su, what do you mean? The slave didn't quite understand. Ling'er bit her lip and replied in confusion. She had been serving in the palace for nearly two years, and it was the first time she had heard such a word.
"It's okay, it's okay, this package means to praise you for your beauty." Su Chen said with a sneer. Originally, he planned to pack some food for Shangguan Ruxue to take back, worried that this chick would be hungry when she woke up. After thinking about it, forget it, the palace maids should prepare lunch for her.
"Young Master Su, you speak so strangely." Ling'er said with a smile.
"Sister Ling'er, do you know where I stayed last night? I want to go back and rest for a while. As soon as Su Chen finished saying this, he couldn't help but yawn.
Ling'er saw Su Chen's sleepy appearance, and hurriedly said, "Slave take you back, you are indeed very tired." ”
The noon sun was extremely hot, and Su Chen followed Ling'er back to his residence listlessly. On the way, Su Chen asked Ling'er about the King of Huainan, and Ling'er only said something roughly. Although the King of Huainan is the vassal king of the Huainan region of the Eastern Han Empire, he has been active in Luoyang City recently, and he doesn't know what he is doing. King Huainan relied on his high position and power to hold elite soldiers, and often spoke disrespectfully in front of the queen mother, but the queen mother couldn't help him at all. The civil and military officials of the court were also very jealous of the king of Huainan, for fear that they would invite unprovoked disasters.
Through the conversation with Ling'er, Su Chen learned that he lived in Yaxin Yuan in Jingyang Palace, which was a place in the palace that specially entertained VIPs and rewarded ministers. I really didn't expect that Lao Tzu would have such a high salary, and he instantly felt that he was forced to rise in a straight line.
Su Chen gently pushed open the door and walked into the room, the strong smell of herbs came to his face, and he saw Shangguan Ruxue sitting on the soft collapse with her pillow leaning, holding a bowl of herbs in her hand, and was about to take it.
"Young Master Su, are you back?" Shangguan Ruxue put the small bowl in her hand on the stool next to her, looked at Su Chen happily and said. She hadn't seen Su Chen since she woke up, and she was faintly worried in her heart. At this time, seeing Su Chen come back safe and sound, she was also a lot more relieved. Although she gave Su Chen an antidote, Su Chen also saved her life. And when he was unconscious, he could vaguely feel that Su Chen carried himself all the way to the palace last night.
"Sister Ruxue, are you awake?" Su Chen walked quickly to the side of the bed and said with a smile of joy. The little beauty's body is really strong and abnormal, and Lao Tzu's hanging heart can finally land.
Ling'er smiled and bowed, then walked out lightly, closing the door by the way.
"I've been awake for an hour, thanks to Su Gongzi's rescue, otherwise I ......" Shangguan Ruxue didn't finish speaking, but was interrupted by Su Chen.
"Don't say that, you're my savior. From now on, as long as I am here, I will never let you be hurt in any way. Su Chen looked closely at Shangguan Ruxue's eyes and said sternly. He remembered what the old lady doctor had said last night, Shangguan Ruxue would never recover, and it was already good to be able to stabilize the injury.
"Master Su, I'm fine, you can rest assured." Shangguan Ruxue was embarrassed to look at him, she blushed and lowered her head and said. Hearing what Su Chen had just said, an indescribable ripple appeared in her heart.
Su Chen inadvertently saw the bloodstained gauze on the stool next to the bed, and asked with concern, "Sister Ruxue, did you remove the gauze on your body?" This is not good, it is easy to infect the wound. ”
"Before noon, the old lady came to deliver the medicine. He told me to tear off the gauze and put on a new one. Shangguan Ruxue said softly, and the roots of her ears oozed red glow.
"The old lady doctor is quite caring, with noble medical ethics to save lives and help the wounded, and I will send him a pennant tomorrow." Su Chen said with a smile, and then he saw a brand-new handkerchief and gauze next to the pillow, and asked suspiciously, "Have you put on a new one?" ”
Shangguan Ruxue's pretty face seemed to be coated with pink rouge, and she lowered her head and whispered: "The location of the wound is a little special, and I am a little inconvenient myself, and I haven't had time to apply new gauze yet." ”
Su Chen didn't watch the old lady apply the gauze last night, and he didn't know how to put it on. At this time, he noticed that there was a bandage at both ends of the gauze, and Su Chen suddenly realized. After the gauze is applied to the wound, it needs to be fixed with a bandage, and in the current situation, it can only be wrapped around Shangguan Ruxue's back and then tied with the bandage. No way! No wonder she couldn't do it herself.
"Ruxue, you must put on new gauze right now, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!" Su Chen said with a straight face, and then secretly swallowed his saliva, "You close your eyes and take off your clothes, and leave the rest to me!" "Don't be afraid, my heart is a drop of purity.
Shangguan Ruxue hesitated slightly, her cheeks were hot and flushed, and then she slowly unbuttoned her clothes.
