After all, the wooden thing could not withstand the sharp weapon, and finally a gap was pried out under my repeated attacks, and I motioned for Pei'er on the side to take another knife, insert it into the gap that I had finally pried out, and continue to break it down.

But this kind of lock is far from as simple as I imagined, and before the blade is inserted, I smell a pungent and unpleasant smell coming from inside, and my body reacts far faster than my own brain, and I quickly threw the wooden block in my hand to the ground.

Pell was startled by my series of movements, and before she could recover from my unusual movements, the wooden block I had thrown on the ground began to emit white smoke, and then a puff of brown liquid flowed out.

The wood had melted like ice, and even the carpet underneath had burned a hole, and Pei'er and I looked at each other, the panic and fear on our faces that could not be concealed no matter how much we tried to pretend to be calm.

"Queen Mother, Princess Bunraku has arrived." The little palace maid outside lowered her head and came in to pass the word, although she didn't see anything still smoking on the ground, but she also seemed to smell something concerning, and moved her head slightly left and right with a little curiosity.

"Got it, you can step back first." Pei'er reacted faster than I did, and asked the little maid to step back and take the teacups and trays on the table to clean up the remaining dregs.

It was placed on the tray and covered with a handkerchief that came out of the cuff, and Bunraku came in.

"What does it smell so bad?" As soon as Wenle came in, he first raised his own questions, covered his nose and looked around, and the things in his hand were a little suspicious in the hands of Pei'er, who was standing on the side and had not had time to exit.

"What's this?" Bunraku curiously reached out and lifted the corner of the handkerchief, and the contents were so easily revealed in front of her eyes.

"This is ......" Pei Er couldn't answer, although to tell the truth there is nothing wrong, but it was difficult to find the right words to avoid the important and light like Bunraku, after all, things have become like this now.

"This is one of the gifts that everyone gave me yesterday, I was a little curious about what it was, and I found that I couldn't open it, so I fell a little, I don't know what's going on, there seems to be something flowing out of it, it's quite scary, don't look at it." I feigned a panic and motioned for Pell to take it out and dispose of it.

Wen Le smiled disapprerovingly, and said: "This must have been sent by Brother Jingwang, he liked to fiddle with these things in the entire palace back then, but seeing that this wooden box was corroded by the liquid inside, Brother Jingwang is too much, and he is not afraid of hurting people, I must tell Brother Jing, let him punish Brother Jingwang well, and take care of his stubborn temperament?" ”

Although Bunraku was pretending to be a joke on the surface, she was angry with me, but the woman knew women too well, and she was forcibly suppressing her anger.

But what I'm more curious about is Bunraku's evaluation of His Royal Highness King Jing, although it was just a quick glance that day, I also saw the undisguised sharpness and flamboyance on the young prince's face, how could it be just as Bunraku said stubborn?

"King Jing, is it ......?" I pretended not to know, logically speaking, I really shouldn't know, if Zhao Fei hadn't sat next to me that day and told me, I wouldn't have noticed the existence of King Jing.

"It's one of my elder brothers, his mother died of a serious illness when he was very young, and he was raised by the current Concubine Xi, the brothers are all about the same age, but they have their own characteristics, although King Jing's brother loves to play and make trouble, but he is very good to us, as long as I like and want, basically I don't need to speak, he will find a way to send it to me." Bunraku seemed to have thought of something, and there was a moment of lightness on his originally tightly knit brow, "But he also loves to bully people the most, no matter who he has been teased by." ”

Hearing this, the image of His Royal Highness King Jing instantly became gloomy from another aspect, but that was from the perspective of Bunraku, and to some extent, it actually did not have reference value.

But the feeling that King Jing gave me and the person in Wenle's mouth is inevitably a little different, so big that it is difficult for me to connect the two images with these few words alone.

"Even if the things sent by Brother Jingwang are opened, they are nothing, they are all some tricks, don't worry too much." I wasn't curious about what was in it, but it was boring to pass the time.

"Well, why are you here, is there something wrong with me?" Jiang Yao said that I was not allowed to contact Wenraku in private, but he didn't say that Wenle was not allowed to find me, and even if Wenraku was not allowed to find me, he should have said to Wenraku, in short, Wenraku appeared with me today, and it has nothing to do with me at all.

"Can't I look for you if there's nothing to do?" Bunraku sat next to me and said, "I'll see how the frostbite on your knee is, and I'll bring you something by the way." ”

As he spoke, Bunraku took out a very small white jade bottle from his arms, which seemed to contain medicine or something.

"This is what I got outside the uterus, although the redness and swelling on your legs have disappeared, but the cold is accumulated on the bones, this medicine is specially used to treat the cold inside, although it is not much, but it is enough for you to use it for a period of time, you only need a drop on your knees every day to faint."

I picked it up with some curiosity and played with it, a little strange, and said, "It's even better than the medicine of the imperial doctor in the palace, why didn't such a god come to the palace?" ”

"In fact, there are two worlds in this world, one belongs to us and the other belongs to the rivers and lakes." Bunraku's words are very reasonable and very interesting.

Bunraku said, winking at me, "But don't ask me how I met someone outside the palace, this is a secret that even the imperial brother doesn't know." ”

"Okay, I'm not going to tell anyone." I don't have much to say, and I don't want to be pushed to the forefront when I talk about the much-loved Princess Bunraku in private.

"Okay, the business to be done is done, and I won't disturb your purity." With that, Bunraku got up and was about to leave.

I won't do much to keep it, and let Pei'er send it out. The little white jade vase left behind by Bunraku always gave me a very familiar feeling, but I couldn't remember where this familiarity came from.

When I went to bed at night, I asked Pei to apply some to me, and the medicine was surprisingly fragrant, rich but not pungent, and smelled warm, as if it had melted into the sun's rays.

At first, I didn't feel anything, but after a while, the place where the liquid was applied was like a spark, and it went straight into the bones with hot air, and the locked knees suddenly relaxed.

Although I heard Wenle say that it should be a medicine prescribed by a miracle doctor, but this is too magical, and I don't know how much this bottle is worth, so I gave it to me so lightly.

I thought in my heart, but I still use peace of mind, after all, the time is still long, if I accept the favor of others now, I am too angry, it is not a bad thing, it is better to accept those who take the initiative to come to the goodwill, after all, the people who want to help you do not necessarily want to get something from you, and I have nothing to let others calculate.

I slept very well that night, and I usually didn't feel sleepy until a long time after everyone had withdrawn, but that day I felt tired after applying the medicine, and I was almost dead asleep before the lights went out.

The tiredness and fatigue on the body dissipated together the next day, and it was rare to have such a refreshing morning, Zhao Fei and Wang Yin came again, followed by a palace maid, and I didn't have to guess to know that I must have come to Changyun to discuss things, but I have to sit with me with nothing to do.

Two days later, it was time for the envoys of various countries to enter the palace to meet and give congratulatory gifts, and I saw people from small border countries coming in one by one in strange costumes, not only a little curious, but also stood on their road from time to time to take a look at it from a distance.

"What is Xuan looking at?"

Su Ko's figure suddenly sounded behind me, I turned around, she was looking on tiptoe in the direction I was looking, and didn't seem to find anything worth noting, so she simply asked me directly.

"When I was in the government before, I only heard my father occasionally talk about how people in Fanbang were like, and today is the first time I have seen them." I didn't hide it, and answered Su Ko's question directly and truthfully.

Su Ko patted me on the shoulder and said, "Isn't it me the first Fanbang person you saw?" Our southern Xinjiang is the largest vassal state of this dynasty, although it is not as strong as yours and has a vast territory, but it is also a place of prosperity and wealth, and the scenery, culture, and customs of our side have been imitated by many people in the Central Plains. ”

"I know this, there is another one in the capital called Zhiyin Pavilion, which specializes in special music."

"I know, Ah Yao has taken me there a few times, but I don't know what he's been busy with lately, I haven't seen him in a few days." Su Ko's expression was a little lost, and it could be seen that she really liked Jiang Yao.

Su Ko did not participate in the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, all the people who could attend were concubines, although she was favored, but in the end she was only a beauty, and she was not qualified to show her head on this occasion, so the previous hunting and Mid-Autumn Festival night banquet did not participate.

In fact, wanting to improve Su Ko's status is just Jiang Yao's words, but Su Ko has been just a beauty for so many years, and there are many reasons why Jiang Yao deliberately did it, after all, a high rank is not necessarily a good thing, but for a person with Su Ko's character, it does more harm than good, and she doesn't care about these so-called false names.
