The first wind and smoke rise Chapter 84
Ning Yanxi's mood was not very good, and the words he said were intermittent, but I still understood it.
Bai Shulan has always had an inner defense against Ning Yanxi, so Ning Yanxi didn't dare to get too close to Bai Shulan. When Ning Yanxi saw Qiyan, who was exactly the same as Bai Shulan, he transferred all his guilt and love for Bai Shulan to Qiyan. So Qiyan, who had an average background, became a noble concubine and became the most noble person in the harem except for the queen mother, and the food and clothing in her palace were naturally excellent.
Qi Ran is a jealous person by nature, but she hides herself too well. My earliest guess was not wrong, the coriander pollen in those dishes was secretly sprinkled by Qiran. And Qiyan poisoning is also caused by Qi Infection. These life-threatening medicinal powders were all privately taught by Qi Ran and a small medicine doctor in the imperial doctor's workshop.
As I listened to this, my hairs stood on end. "I've heard my mother say that this harem is a place to eat people, and it's hard for people like me to gain a foothold. Now it seems that my mother's idea is right. ”
Ning Yanxi propped his head and was silent, it seemed that alcohol was working. I ignored the grounding orders and went out to make a cup of sobering tea. The tea was ready, but he was still motionless. I couldn't open my mouth to call him, so I simply kept silent.
I pulled a stool and sat down, but he suddenly asked, "If I hadn't brought Shulan back to the palace, if I hadn't used Qiyan as Shulan, wouldn't all this have happened?"
I didn't answer, poured him a cup of hot tea, and pushed it in front of him. "Some things are already a foregone conclusion, and regretting them will only increase the worries. It's better to go on well. ”
"I often think of Shulan, so I will go to visit Qiyan, and when I see Qiyan, I feel a little sorry, so I will talk to Qiran."
I interrupted him and said, "So she misunderstood, she simply thought that if she got rid of Qiyan, you would help her to the throne?"
Ning Yanxi nodded a little unnaturally. I was about to speak, when I heard his voice choke a little. "Do you even blame me now?"
I hurriedly waved my hand. He continued, "Qi Ran has been asking Lu Lu to also give Shulan the medicine in her meal, but Lu Lu has not disagreed. Wan'er, everyone in the harem knows how important you are to me and the Queen Mother, and many people think that Qiyan is sitting on the throne of the queen because she has a good relationship with you. That day, when Qiran saw Shulan coming to you, I was afraid that he was worried that Shulan would stay in the harem, so Qiran ventured to find Lu Lu. Maybe some conversation between the two sisters was overheard by Shulan, and they would attack Shulan. ”
I put down the teacup that I took a sip of, "Although Bai Shulan can't see it, she still has a foundation in martial arts, how can she be so easy to be attacked?" Can you fake a suicide scene?"
"Shulan's heart is too soft, she drank the tea given by Lu Lu, and there are sleeping pills in the tea!"
After Ning Yanxi explained to me, he fell asleep on the table. The cup of tea he just drank also had sleeping pills in it, but I would never harm him. I've been tossing and turning lately to get the medicine that Shu Ran gave me, but I haven't used it, but this time it came in handy.
I got up and took the quilt off the bed and gently covered Ning Yanxi. The light was dim and I couldn't make out his face, but I knew he must not have had a good night's rest.
I whispered goodnight to him and blew out the candles. I also drank some medicated tea, and when I lay back in bed, I finally felt sleepy, and slowly fell asleep, but it was a nightmare.
Even if it is a nightmare, it is unwilling to wake up and face the nightmare of reality. I woke up covered with a quilt. Shu Ran brought me good news, the Empress Dowager has lifted my lockdown. The reason is that my move of putting everyone in the Jiaofang Palace in prison has lured the real murderer to appear, and it can be regarded as atonement.
Stepping out of Guangyang Palace, I felt that everything was extraordinarily unfamiliar. I felt depressed in my heart, and asked Ning Yanxi for a chance to leave the palace. Ning Yanxi readily agreed, but there was an additional condition, that is, he would follow me out of the palace together.
I originally wanted to go out of the palace to relieve stress, but I didn't want to be followed by a big Buddha, how do I feel a little depressed. Ning Yanxi, who was dressed in white, raised his eyebrows at me and said, "What? An expression that wants to throw me out!"
I rubbed to Qiyan's side and grabbed her arm, "It's good for me and my sister-in-law to go out of the palace and go around, what are you doing with a big man?"
Ning Yanxi didn't say anything, just looked at Qiyan with a smile in his eyes. Qiyan patted my hand comfortingly, "With the emperor, we are much safer." ”
"Eh, Qiyan, you should call me husband now!"
He answered the call really fast this time! This sentence made Qiyan's face red. I let go of Qiyan's arm, pursed my mouth, and moved into the corner. "Now it seems that I am a little redundant to come out!!"
Qiyan's face turned a little redder. I know Ning Yanxi's bitterness when he came out with Qiyan, after all, it will be very uncomfortable to be betrayed by someone who believes so much. Qiyan suddenly said: "It's the year of the broken melon now, and the husband should also find a good family for the girl." I don't know which man will be blessed with this!"
Qiyan's unintentional words happened to pierce my sadness. Ning Yanxi glanced at me worriedly and said, "I only hope that my maid can be safe, and I only hope that my maid can be like the daughter of an ordinary family." ”
Qiyan naturally couldn't understand the dumbness between the two of us. But I had to smile bitterly and find my beloved, which was just a luxury for me.
My heart was sour, but I heard the coachman outside: "Childe, Miss, it's time to be in the city!"
I smiled and said, "My sister-in-law has always been a deep boudoir woman, so she rarely comes to this kind of place. When you come out today, you can leave the etiquette behind for the time being!"
Ning Yanxi helped Qiyan get out of the carriage and said with a smile, "It's okay for my cousin to see the nature of your woman." ”
I raised my eyebrows, "Then my cousin will be able to see a long time today." ”
We happened to have a lively opening today, and the market was really lively. I looked at the bustling people on the street and couldn't help grinning, this kind of place is where my merchant belongs.
I was bouncing in front, and Ning Yanxi and Qiyan were slowly following behind. As soon as I turned around, I could see them looking at me with a light smile from behind. I shook my head helplessly, these people who grew up in the rules are really difficult to adapt to.
My eyes were drawn to a street stall. A green cloth was laid on the stall, and several wooden combs were placed on it. A little girl sat on the side, saw me leaning over, got up and asked, "Sister, do you want a comb?"
I bent down to look at each comb and picked the one I liked. After paying, I turned around and shoved the comb to Qiyan. "I wish you all gray hair and eyebrows!"
Qiyan was stunned for a moment and then pursed her lips and smiled, "It's hard for you to think about it." Qiyan's eyelashes were crooked when she laughed, and there were two shallow dimples on her lips, which was very good-looking. and Ning Yanxi behind him looks really matched. I inexplicably thought of Bai Shulan, and I couldn't say what it felt like for a while.
After giving her the comb, I walked ahead again, but luckily they didn't notice my mood change. In the corner of the market, I saw a group of people around. I got up, pulled the smoke behind me, and drilled into the crowd. The red and black roosters in the crowd were fighting happily, and it turned out to be cockfighting.
Qiyan tugged at my sleeve and whispered, "Girl, let's go!"
The shouts around her almost drowned out her voice, and I reassured her, "It's okay! I'm by your side!"
But I saw a man in cloth come up to us and said, "The two young ladies can also bet?"
I looked at the battle situation in the center of the field, and said loudly: "I bet on Xiaohong!" It wasn't a joke, and I didn't forget to take the silver out of my purse as a bet.
