Chapter 219: Antidote
The afterglow of the sunset was about to come to an end, and when Kamisato received the news that Floating Leaf had arrived in Drifting Snow City, he realized that he had underestimated Floating Leaf.
The Great Priest said to the gray-clothed waiter on the side: "Because our stupidity will eventually turn a person who should be a friend into an enemy, and the sky in the snowy region will change. β
The gray-clothed waiter knelt on the ground and said, "It's all Anu who has neglected to overlook, please punish him!" I'm going to kill the floating leaves right now and snatch back the sword of the young master's life. β
Da Si Ming waved his hand and said: "The one who controls the sword of Shao Si Ming is the pillar of the country, and he is beaten to make him correct his position, not to destroy him." If the rafters of a house are not suitable, they can be replaced, and if the beams are decaying, it is time to consider changing the house. β
The gray-clothed waiter said, "Then what should we do next?" β
The great priest said: "Wait and see what happens, and do nothing!" β
Floating Leaf caused an attack of old diseases due to the forced control of the mysterious aura, his nose kept bleeding, his blood was hot, and he didn't rest after coming to Drifting Snow City, and now he is even weaker than Han Xiye, more like a patient.
His Qi and Blood Pills were running out, only seven left, and he had been doing medicine reduction training, but the effect was minimal.
The crown princess wanted to enter the palace and face the saint, naturally no one dared to stop her. Meng Fanye took the floating leaves and smoothly entered the palace of the Red Gold Khan.
The entire palace was walled with large stones, like an impregnable fortress. Fushengye felt very depressed when he walked in such a high-walled compound.
His head was groggy, like the feeling of lack of oxygen in his brain after suffocation.
Meng Fanye gently took her hand from the side.
At this time, the hands of the floating leaves were cold, while the small hands of the dream were as warm as jade.
Meng Fanye said to Fushengye: "Don't be nervous, Khan is just an ordinary person!" Besides, we're not going to look for him now! β
Fushengye stared at the dream on the side, and felt that he couldn't fathom this sister at all. Although Meng Fanye and Qi Lanye look exactly the same, their temperaments are completely different.
Lan Ye is a naΓ―ve and honest girl, and a little thing on her mind will be written on her face for people to see at a glance. And Meng Fanye is very urban, her thin body can withstand the pressure like a mountain and still has no change in her face.
Of course, Fushengye hopes that his sister can live a happy and carefree life. He also felt very sorry for Meng Fanye, and didn't want her to bury everything in his heart.
Meng Fanye felt that the eldest brother was holding his palm, and his strength suddenly increased a little, and her hand also increased a certain amount of strength to respond to the floating leaves.
The brother and sister walked side by side under the palace walls, tacitly understanding each other's hearts.
Seeing the dream, the floating leaf took him to a courtyard called Yiyao Palace.
Meng Fanye whispered: "This is the residence of Queen Zuo, you should talk as little as possible when you see Queen Zuo later." β
When Fushengye heard Meng Fanye say this, a bad premonition rose in his heart.
In Yiyao Palace, Queen Zuo is performing moxibustion under the service of the palace maid. She is already an old woman in her fifties, and even if she is well maintained, she will inevitably suffer from illness. In particular, the rheumatic pain around her shoulder tormented her every day.
After she designed to frame the right queen a few months ago, for a while she became the supreme queen in Drifting Snow City. He fantasized that after Lei Zhe ascended the throne, she would be able to tilt the power of the government and the opposition as the queen mother.
But she didn't expect that the day the right queen fell, it would be the pinnacle of her life. Since then, bad news has followed, first his own youngest son has suddenly disappeared, and then he was announced dead. The loss of her son almost cost her half her life. Since then, Queen Zuo has become grumpy and punishes her subordinates at every turn. Every day, several maids who are not long-sighted are punished for not following her heart, and under her perverted punishment, every three or five times a maid chooses to commit suicide because of the humiliation.
When Queen Zuo heard that the crown princess had come to ask for peace, she smoothly met with Meng Fanye.
Because the queen did not summon the floating leaves, he waited at the door.
However, Fushengye has the ear power of a spirit beast, so he can naturally hear clearly what Meng Fanye and Queen Zuo said.
"Son-in-law, please give peace to the queen mother!"
- "Flat! Is there any news from Zhe'er? β
"He is stationed at Liming Pass, and the army needs to pass through the Wujiang Gorge of the Tianqian to return for reinforcements, and Linchi Town has been occupied by the generals who support Mo Kemo, fortunately, the defenders of the Tianmen Pass Post Station are still loyal to the Khan, but it is not easy for the 30,000 army to strengthen the Wujiang Gorge."
- "I'm sure Te'er will come to our rescue." β
"Erchen has one more thing to ask for this time!"
- "We are a family, and it doesn't hurt to say anything!" β
Seeing that the time had come, Meng Fanye briefly told Queen Zuo about the poison of the witch Gu in Hanxi Ye.
After hearing this, Queen Zuo said: "I see, there is indeed an antidote to the poison of witchcraft in the treasury of the palace, but no one has the right to open the treasury without the order of the Khan. β
Meng Fanye said: "I heard that there are two keys to the treasure house, which are kept by the father-in-law in charge and the father-in-law in front of the emperor, but they all have to obey the orders of the father-in-law, and the father-in-law in charge is the descendant of the queen mother and obeys you, can't you let him open the door of the treasure house to find an insignificant antidote?" β
Queen Zuo's face changed suddenly when she heard this, she sat up and opened the curtain despite the moxibustion needles on her back, "Do you want you to teach me how to do things?" Someone, give me a slap-"
A palace maid walked up to Meng Fanye and couldn't help but break up, "Pa-pa-pa--" and slapped Meng Fanye three times in a row.
Meng Fanye's cheeks immediately flushed and swollen, and she held back her tears and smiled: "Erchen knows that he is wrong!" β
When Queen Zuo saw the pitiful appearance of Meng Fanye after being beaten, she pretended to say: "Oops! I just casually said that the damn man would dare to hit my child. Come on, put the blind man in a sack and throw him into the river. β
The palace maid in charge is already a female official from the sixth grade, and Pingli is powerful in front of the low-level palace maids in Yiyao Palace, which has long caused the anger of the heavens and people. Queen Zuo gave an order, and the six palace maids rushed up, raised their palms, and the palace maids left the palace and walked towards a lotus pond.
Fushengye saw that Queen Zuo was as sunny as a June day, and the slap she slapped in the face made Fushengye feel sad, and in a blink of an eye, she drowned a palace maid in the pool.
The man-eating tiger is not as vicious as this woman.
Fushengye thought of a way to help Meng Fanye resolve the crisis, otherwise when he left here, Mengfanye would not be tortured to death by this evil Queen Zuo.
Queen Zuo said: "Someone! Go and make a cup of herbal tea to suppress the crown princess. β
When Meng Fanye heard that the queen was going to make herbal tea for herself, although she was puzzled, she didn't ask.
Mayday, the head of Snow City is in full swing, and the weather is indeed very. Drinking herbal tea is a good product to relieve the heat and cool down. However, herbal tea is very troublesome to make, it needs to be boiled in boiling water, and then cooled with stored ice, which is expensive and can not be enjoyed by ordinary people.
Because Meng Fanye has a request for others, no matter what the ghost idea Queen Zuo has, she has no intention of retreating.
A quarter of an hour later, a sixth-grade Zhaoxun palace maid came to Meng Fanye with a cup of herbal tea in both hands.
The herbal tea is served in a beautiful luminous cup, and the glow-in-the-dark cup in broad daylight is nothing unusual from the outside.
Meng Fanye took the luminous cup and said, "The son respects his mother first and then a cup!" β
Queen Zuo smiled and said, "Eh! This cup of herbal tea is specially prepared for you, and if you drink it, I will give you the antidote to the poison of the witchcraft. β
Meng Fanye said happily: "Okay then! Erchen do it first for respect! β
Queen Zuo saw that Meng Fanye drank most of the herbal tea in one go, and she danced happily.
Meng Fanye thought to herself, Queen Zuo, Mo is really crazy.
Queen Zuo said to the palace maid of Zhaoxun: "Give the antidote to the poison of the witch Gu to the crown princess!" β
Meng Fanye took a three-legged toad-shaped wooden box handed over by the palace maid of Zhaoxun, and she opened the wooden box to see that it contained a silver pill the size of a thumbnail.
"This is really the antidote to the poison of the witch Gu!" Meng Fanye asked excitedly.
Zhaoxun Palace Maid said with a faceless face: "Aunt Neiting said that it should not be wrong." β
Like a child who has just gotten a heart doll, Meng Fanye has forgotten the pain of being slapped in the face before. She hurriedly thanked Queen Zuo, and then walked out of Yiyao Palace with cheerful steps.
As soon as she came out of Yiyao Palace, she hurriedly pulled the floating leaves, wanting to detoxify Han Xiye as soon as possible.
Fushengye was heavy-footed, as if he didn't want to leave Yiyao Palace so easily.
Meng Fanye pulled the floating leaf and said excitedly: "Let's go!" Big brother, are you taking a fancy to a handsome palace maid with such heavy steps? I can't help you, because all the women in this palace belong to the Khan of Red Gold. However, there are also many young women in the East Palace, and when I go back, I will be the director, and you will choose, presumably Lei Zhe will not embarrass me because of this. β
Fusheng Ye was a little blushing and heartbeat by what Meng Fanye said. He looked at Meng Fanye's swollen cheeks, and thought to himself, maybe it wasn't that simple.
The reason why he slowed down was to hear what Queen Zuo was up to.
Sure enough, not long after Meng Fanye left Yiyao Palace, Queen Zuo couldn't help but laugh.
She said to herself: "Others think that the poison of the witch Gu is a royal treasure, so they take it for granted that the poison of the witch Gu must be in the hands of the eunuch of the light, but they don't know that the poison of the witch Gu is specially customized by me to the great wizard of the sacrificial house." I was the only one in the palace who knew how to use it. Now I want to see if the crown princess will obediently cooperate with me after she knows that she has been poisoned by witchcraft. β
Floating Sheng Ye was furious when she heard this, it turned out that the herbal tea that Queen Zuo gave to Meng Fan Ye just now was the poison of witch Gu, and the antidote she gave to Meng Fan Ye could only save one person.
Why did Queen Zuo do this?
From the conversation between Queen Zuo and the female official of the Imperial Palace, Fushengye learned that they had already known that they had entered the palace with Han Xiye.
Queen Zuo has killed many palace maids by mistake because of the pain of losing her son, and she heard a letter from the third prince Lei Zhe saying that the death of Prince Huayan is the most suspicious.
Therefore, Queen Zuo had long hated Fushengye to death, and if it weren't for the fact that Fushengye entered the city this time because she was invited by the Khan, she would have designed to besiege and kill Fushengye.
After Fushengye knew what was going on, he knew in his heart that Queen Zuo had not wronged him. But his dislike for Queen Zuo and Zeng Shi couldn't be easily let go.
