The color of the Imperial Qi Pill in the box was red, and it looked good, but Xue Chongxun knew that this color might be caused by some heavy metal elements, and eating it was equivalent to eating chronic poison. But he had something important to say to Princess Taiping today, and he really didn't want to make her angry with her without starting. I think that Princess Taiping and Yuqing have also eaten this kind of elixir, and they are not so bad that they want to die, and Bai Qimei was dragged by Yuqing when she was in Luoyang, and it is estimated that she has eaten a lot, and she is still alive. Xue Chongxun smoked in his previous life, knowing that it was poisonous, he was not afraid, so he reached out and picked up the "elixir". Seeing this, Yuqing accepted the box and brought a glass of water, Xue Chongxun put the pill into his mouth, and the cup was happily poured into it.

Seeing this, Princess Taiping showed a smile on her face, and said indifferently: "Wait a while, let Yuqing point luck for you, and first cultivate with the help of the effect of the Outer Dan, and then you will know the trick." ”

Xue Chongxun replied speechlessly, he really couldn't think of anything wonderful, so he just swallowed a piece of ore.

At this time, I heard Yuqing say: "Your Highness, Poor Dao has never assisted men in cultivation, and I am afraid that I will go crazy if I don't specialize in it." ”

Princess Taiping said: "We have been cultivating for a long time, and we have never heard of anything that has gone mad, don't shirk, do what I say." You and Chongxun have already had a skin-to-skin relationship, what else can you avoid? ”

Yuqing's face was embarrassed for a while, and he hurriedly turned his gaze away, not daring to look at Xue Chongxun.

At this time, Xue Chongxun had a drug reaction, I don't know what it was, and gradually he felt that there was a qi in his body running around, which made him uneasy, and he felt a kind of restlessness, he said: "I am ...... this thing Allergies, feeling very uncomfortable. ”

Princess Taiping said: "Yuqing, you can be lucky for him now." ”

What kind of luck? Xue Chongxun was stunned and said: If you still have internal strength, I don't believe it if you kill me. He said, "I think it's better to be free, I guess it will be fine in a while." My son has come to see my mother today, and I have something to say to you......"

"We'll talk about that later." Princess Taiping interrupted him and ordered, "You go and sit down on the futon, meditate and let Yuqing help you cultivate." ”

The reaction of this medicine was even worse at this time, Xue Chongxun only felt that his brain was a mess, so he had to put down his mind for the time being, and came to kneel on a futon resting on the blanket and sat down. At this time, Dao Gu Yuqing also sat down cross-legged in front of him, put her hands in front of her abdomen, and said, "Sit like Poor Dao." ”

Xue Chongxun sat down cross-legged in her appearance, and let go of his palm, at this time he only felt like a mud bodhisattva, which was really funny and absurd. Yuqing said: "Throw away the distracting thoughts and sink the dantian." Xue Chongxun said in his heart: I don't know how to do internal strength, I don't even have qi in the meridians, I know how to sink the dantian? He didn't say anything, anyway, he just sat and loved it, and waited for the medicine to pass and his mind cleared up so that he could get down to business. remembered that once Bai Qimei was poured pills by Yuqing, and it would be fine after a while.

At this time, he felt Yuqing's hand in his chest, and her hand seemed to be a little unstable and trembling slightly. Xue Chongxun said in his heart: You are used to touching my mother's soft breasts, come and try the feeling of hard bangbang. When he was thinking wildly, Yuqing's hand suddenly pressed hard, and he only felt a feeling of tightness in his chest, and a feeling of suffocation was about to come up. Yuqing skillfully pressed some acupoints again, Xue Chongxun didn't understand the location of the acupoints at all, and was very uncomfortable at first, only feeling difficult to breathe. But after a while, he felt that his body was light and fluttering, and there was a white mist in front of him, as if he was in the clouds. Then where Yuqing's palm brushed, it was really like a hot air flowing through, indescribably comfortable.

I don't know how long it took, but he finally woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Princess Taiping looking at him with a smile: "How is it?" ”

"It seems to rise among the clouds." Xue Chongxun replied truthfully.

Princess Taiping said: "Just like this? If you don't cultivate enough when you first enter the Dao Method, you will definitely be able to realize the bliss of the Immortal Dao in time. At the same time, the mind has not yet entered the Tao, and it still needs to be understood. ”

Xue Chongxun blurted out in surprise: "How do you comprehend?" Princess Taiping frowned and pondered for a moment: "I can only understand...... You have to think of some imagery, like the pose of a crane. ”

Xue Chongxun wondered what the crane looked like, but because he had never thought about that ethereal thing, and last night Li Yan'er stewed another chicken soup, and a fluttering hen suddenly appeared in his mind...... He smiled bitterly and said, "Erchen is afraid that his qualifications are not enough. ”

Princess Taiping sighed and asked, "At first, you said that there was something serious, but now let's talk about it." ”

Xue Chongxun's heart suddenly sank, and he thought for a long time before he said: "This time, the armies of all ethnic groups in the alliance are crusading against the Turks, and the staff members are making statements, wanting me to be called the 'alliance leader', does my mother think it's okay?" ”

Unexpectedly, after a while, Princess Taiping changed her self-proclaimed Taoist indifference, and directly became furious: "Who entered the slander!" If he makes you call 'Lord' in a bright and open manner, where is it now? Immediately send this rebel to prison for questioning! ”

Xue Chongxun said quietly: "Mother, my lord is angry, this staff member has no second thoughts about me, how can I send him to prison?" I beg your forgiveness. ”

At this time, Princess Taiping quickly felt that this matter was not just as simple as him exposing his own staff, her anger gradually eased, and the expression on her face gradually calmed down a lot, but it was more frightening than when she was angry, and the attendants next to her, including Yuqing, were shocked by her aura and their expressions changed suddenly. Only Xue Chongxun was the most courageous, and he calmly faced her without changing his face.

Xue Chongxun also felt the danger, at this moment in this palace, Princess Taiping stayed here almost all the time, it can be said that no one did not listen to her will, if she simply took Xue Chongxun down directly, it would be easy. Of course, this is just a possibility, Xue Chongxun dared to stand here, thinking that his mother would not do that.

He said indifferently: "Last time, my mother joked that she wanted to take back her son's minister, now you can give the order." "Of course, this is just a gesture, it is not easy to eradicate Xue Chongxun's forces for a while, unless he is locked up first and then creates a bloody storm with lightning speed, power is really a very strict game.

Perhaps it was his demeanor that angered Princess Taiping again, and she immediately scolded angrily: "Unfilial rebel, dare to disobey the orders of his parents, go back to me immediately!" ”

"Yes, the retainers are retired." So far, there is only a happy parting.

After he withdrew from the Star Tower, he didn't stay for a moment, came to the door of the Chengxiang Palace, took the horse, greeted Sanniang and left. Today's situation is obviously a falling out at the beginning, and Princess Taiping may have two reasons for him to come out: first, she is not ready to compete with Xue Chongxun; Second, she didn't think clearly about whether to support Xue Chongxun.

Xue Chongxun had already thought too much last night, if his mother would not support him at all, the corresponding strategy was to sacrifice Su Jin in exchange for a compromise, and then attach the condition of giving up military power in the north; Of course, it would be better if it was the latter. In short, he has no intention of turning against Princess Taiping now. The two of them had compromised with each other many times before, and Xue Chongxun had been trying to get his mother's support for a long time, but he never mentioned the core. This time there is a big opportunity to succeed in front of us, and Xue Chongxun believes that at least this opportunity should be used to achieve a role: or can seize the opportunity; or can test Princess Taiping's position and bottom line.

Today, he has repeatedly deliberated and arranged this matter in advance, and the current development is still expected. Xue Chongxun could only think about this, and he really couldn't think about things farther. For example, the path to resolving this matter is to compromise again and restore a delicate balance...... Then he also tested Princess Taiping's position: she would not change hands on the Li family. This means that he doesn't want to give up his goal of seizing the world, and sooner or later he will have to fight with the protagonist of Taiping Gong.

The world is full of contradictions, thinking that he tried his best to protect Princess Taiping, but in the end he was an opponent. However, if the past is repeated, Xue Chongxun will follow the same path, and he has no way to calculate Princess Taiping as a hidden danger in advance.

Xue Chongxun's guard of honor traveled south along Danfeng Street, and then turned to Anyifang North Street, and when he arrived at the gate of the Jin Palace, Xue Chongxun knocked on the wooden plank of the carriage and said, "Pang Er, let's go to the kingdom again." ”

"Yes, Lang Jun." Pang Er replied as usual, he didn't feel the wind and waves at all.

The carriage entered the pro-kingdom, and after Xue Chongxun got off the car, he wanted to order his staff to come to see him, but he thought: This matter is not only a household matter but also involves some ulterior strategies, so it is better not to tell anyone. So he didn't make any move, but walked to the study in the front hall.

When she arrived at the stone steps, Sanniang, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke: "Did Lang Jun encounter a problem?" ”

Xue Chongxun glanced back at her in surprise, "I'm on my face?" ”

Sanniang shook her head and fell silent again. Xue Chongxun continued to walk for a while, and finally couldn't help but wonder: "How do you know?" Sanniang said coldly: "I have this idea in my heart, I don't know why." ”

At this time, I saw Bai Qimei walking out of the hall, and said coquettishly: "Xue Lang doesn't call me when he goes out to take Sanniang, it's your long-term follower, doesn't the long-term follower mean staying by your side all the time?" ”

Xue Chongxun joked with a calm expression: "You're not afraid of Yuqing Daogu's affectionate eyes? ”

"You're talking nonsense like this again, and people are angry!" Bai Qimei raised her mouth and said. Sanniang next to her just looked like she was watching coldly, and she didn't say a word.

Xue Chongxun laughed, reached out and touched his forehead and said, "By the way, you go and call Su Jin to the study to see me." With that, he went straight to the study in the front hall of the kingdom. After a long time, Bai Qimei came back and said, "Su Jin went home." ”

"Today is not a holiday, he is not worth it?" Xue Chongxun frowned. Bai Qimei said: "Said that he said hello to Uncle Wang, his wife has been infected with wind and heat and is lying on the bed in the past few days, he has been distracted in the official office all day long, he went home on leave before lunch, and it is estimated that he can come back in the afternoon, and Xue Lang can only see people in the afternoon." ”

"I see." Xue Chongxun's face showed a slight change in expression, and he thought for a while and said, "You go to Wang Shaobo again to talk about something, give Su Jin a few days off, and let him find a good man for his wife at home and take care of him for a few days." ”

Bai Qimei smiled: "Xue Lang is really good to people." ”

…… After Su Jin moved to a new house, he became rich and noble, and there were maids and slaves, and it was not that no one took care of the Lin family, and the two children also specially invited Mr. to teach and write, and they usually took it with him. It's just that Su Jin is always worried about the sick Lin family in his heart, and he can't help when he comes back, just to take a look. He rode into the house and let the servants help him dismount, and then limped to the bedroom.

Pushing open the door, there was a strong smell of medicine, and a slave maid with a bowl in her hand hurriedly curtsied, Su Jin walked up and took her bowl and said, "I'll come, you go out first to do something else." The slave replied, "Yes." ”

Lin frowned and said, "It's not yet noon, why did you come back?" ”

Su Jin said: "Today, the King of Jin went to the palace, and there is nothing too busy in the official office, so I said to Uncle Wang, come back to see you." Is it better? Lin said: "Lang Zhong has already checked the pulse, but occasionally feels the wind and heat, just raise it for a few days, and the husband doesn't have to worry too much." On the contrary, the husband must be cautious in official affairs, and the king of Jin will give our family such a big yard, but you have no intention of doing official business, how to do it? Again, be cautious in all your actions. ”

Su Jin scooped up a spoonful of decoction and tasted it himself before feeding it to his wife's mouth: "Don't worry, there is no difference right now." King Jin is very kind to people, so there is no problem if he just masters the rules in business. Last time, I recommended He Jizhen to do the armor thing, I was a little worried, but fortunately, Ji Zhenzhen is not a vain person, and he is very satisfied with the errand, and I can be regarded as a recommendation. ”

When he said the right thing, a trace of imperceptible gloom flashed between his eyebrows, and he remembered the "alliance leader" strategy that he said last time when he made meritorious contributions, and there were indeed troubles. He only thought afterwards that he might be used as a scapegoat! At that time, it was indeed too impulsive, perhaps because he had suffered too much white eyes, and there was a misstep in the operation of the moment, after all, the friendship with Xue Chongxun was not deep, and it was really a mistake to propose such a dangerous plan. If he could have the same qualifications as Wang Shaobo, maybe it would be much safer, because Xue Chongxun didn't dare to take a henchman lightly to scapego, otherwise it would make his subordinates feel cold; And he, Su Jin, a person who has no foundation in the Jin Palace, is two different things.

Su Jin's subtle feelings for a moment were difficult for ordinary people to see, but he couldn't hide the wife he had known for many years, and Lin immediately asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

"It's fine." Su Jin had already recovered as usual, and said kindly, "I have tasted this medicine, it is a little bitter, but as long as you take it on time, you can get better quickly." Long suffering is better than short suffering. ”

Su Jin thought in his heart as he spoke: If he can be safe and sound this time, he can really see that Xue Chongxun is more sincere to people.

Lin smiled: "You still coax me like ten years ago." ”

While the two were talking, a slave came to the door and said, "Ah Lang, the government has sent someone to see you." ”

Lin said: "There must be something serious for you to do, you shouldn't have run back on duty, can my illness be cured immediately when I come back?" Look, everyone is coming to the door, you should go out and socialize. ”

"I'll come when I go." Su Jin put down the medicine bowl steadily, and explained a few words to the slave at the door, and then hurried to the living room.

The person who came was a small official of the pro-kingdom, and he knew Su Jin when he was also a small official before, and the little official respectfully arched at this time because of the change of identity: "Su Shilang...... No, Su Xueguan, look at my former name, don't blame Su Xueguan. ”

Su Jin said disapprerovingly: "It's okay, why are you here?" ”

The little official said: "When the prince came back from the palace, he was going to see you, but unfortunately you came home." As soon as the prince asked, he learned that Mrs. Su was sick, so he personally told you to take a few days off and let you take more care of Mrs. at home. What the prince said personally, how can we drag it out, don't you send me to report to the Su Academy. ”

"The prince is gracious, and the minister is very grateful."

The little official said: "That's it, Huang Gong, who is in charge of painting and painting, has also inscribed, you don't have to worry about it within three or five days." You know, I'll go back and talk back. ”

"Okay, let's see off someone." Su Jin nodded. Now that he is an official, and the person who comes is an official, naturally there is no need to be polite with him, otherwise it will not be good.

……

There was a quiet silence inside and outside the star tower of the Chengxiang Hall of Daming Palace, because Princess Taiping's face was not good today, everyone had to endure even coughing desperately, and they didn't dare to make a sound, otherwise they could only deserve to be unlucky if they bumped into Princess Taiping's anger. In fact, she didn't get angry with people, but she just had such an effect on weekdays.

In the palace, Yuqing asked fearlessly, "Does Your Highness still want to cultivate today?" ”

"How can I have the mind?" Princess Taiping said coldly, "You were here at first, don't understand what happened?" ”

Yuqing shook his head calmly: "Thinking too much will increase your troubles, which is contrary to the purpose of leisure." I only have one thing on my mind. Princess Taiping was looking down and pondering something, so she casually asked, "Who is the person you are missing?" Yuqing's face was a little flushed, but his expression remained the same: "Isn't it His Highness now?" ”

Princess Taiping raised her head and smiled slightly: "I just value your loyalty very much." ”

At this time, she thought carefully about the "alliance leader" proposed by Xue Chongxun, and soon found that if Xue Chongxun did have such ambitions, it was a very good time for the coalition army to attack the Turks. Why did he bring it up at this time to add to the incident?

A lot of past events slowly surfaced in front of her eyes at this time, and since the beginning of dealing with Li Longji, Da Lang has indeed left her with a lot of deep memories. Gradually, she fell into deep thought.

In fact, Princess Taiping has always been very wandering, if Li Dan's sons didn't want to put her to death before, it would be a more acceptable decision for her to hand over the power to someone close to the Li family in the end; But now it is different, the princes sitting on the throne and the princes everywhere are relatively distant relatives, and they can only be regarded as one family, not a family at all. If she helps Li Tanghui fù Jiangshan, in a sense, she will be psychologically stable, but what about her own family? Will the descendants of the Li family give her a good reputation behind her, and can her son Xue Chongxun be safe and sound?

Princess Taiping thought a lot, her mother Wu Zetian had actually experienced such a wandering, and finally chose to return the country to her sons, but she couldn't rest assured that the Wu family was at ease, so she called the children of the two families together and swore to live in harmony...... As a result, almost none of Wu Zetian's nephews' generation died well. G
