Chapter 57: Clues
Today's phoenix, like a panicked deer, is in endless panic. The fear of blindness, coupled with the fear of the future, made him anxious every day. During this time, he developed a strong sense of dependence on me. As soon as I left, he lost his sense of security and became angry with the people around him. The king of Qin decreed throughout the country that if anyone could cure the eyes of the king of Pingyang, he would be rewarded. However, after treating Phoenix, famous doctors from all walks of life declared failure. The poison of poinsettia can no one solve it, and whether the phoenix's eyes can regain their light can only depend on the will of heaven.
I know that the person who murdered the phoenix was not the crown princess, and the real murderer is still at large. This person's purpose is not just to deal with Phoenix, but to blame the crown princess is her ultimate goal. The queen's pursuit of the imperial doctor surnamed Wang has never stopped, and I will not let go of any clues, vowing to find the real murderer of Phoenix. We are in the open, the enemy is in the dark, and it is not easy to find conclusive evidence. What worries me is that since this person dares to murder the phoenix once, he will dare to murder the phoenix a second time. If there is another time, the consequences will be really unimaginable.
I went to the cold palace and asked the crown princess Shan Li in detail about the ins and outs of poinsettia. She said that her mother, the wife of General Shan Xiong, was particularly fond of poinsettias. Every festival, Liluo will use countless poinsettias to dress up the mansion in a fiery red, meaning prosperous. It's a pity that Liluo was so blushing that he left the young Shan Li at a young age and passed away. In order to commemorate his mother, Shan Li planted a lot of poinsettia in the palace to express his grief for his deceased mother.
She didn't know much about poinsettias, until one day Concubine Yu sent someone to beg her to give her some poinsettias, saying that the juice in the rhizomes of poinsettias could cure her leg wounds. Because Concubine Yu asked for too much, all the people who came couldn't move back, so she sent someone to send her dozens of pots.
It turned out that it was not the crown princess who took the initiative to give it to Concubine Yu, but Concubine Yu asked for it herself.
"Apart from Concubine Yu, has anyone ever asked you for this magenta?" I asked.
"Concubine Shu, Concubine Ning and others also want to pass a few plants, but the amount is not much."
"Thank you, Niangniang, the slave has retired!" I said.
"Wait!"
"What's the matter, mother?"
"Queen, how are her eyes!"
"The queen mother's eyes have been blinded, and the imperial doctor said that because of the large amount of venom dripping, the possibility of recovery is extremely low."
"Oh...... Hasn't Brother Hong come back yet? The crown princess then asked.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still guarding the border and has not yet returned." I replied.
"Good ......"
I was about to step down.
"Can you not go?" The crown princess grabbed me.
"Niangniang has something else to do, just ask me to do it."
"There was not even a person to speak to in this cold palace, and at night it was empty, and even the sound of rats walking could be heard clearly. I wish I had someone with me, even if it's just to talk. She said.
"Niangniang, the slave will come over as long as there is time, the queen mother asked the slave to tell you, don't be discouraged, everything will pass!"
"Okay."
When I returned to the Wutong Palace, I saw Murong Xue living in the main hall, and Qiao'er and the others were kneeling on the ground and begging her for mercy.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"This girl is getting more and more unruly, don't you take me in your eyes now? I came here to see my own brother, and a girl dared to stop me! It's the other way around! It's ridiculous that I am a princess of a country and still under the control of a subordinate! Murong Xue said angrily.
"Pretty boy, get up!" I say.
A few of them looked up and saw that I didn't dare to get up.
"Your master is Murong Chong, the king of Pingyang, but he is not Concubine Yu, so he can't get up yet!"
A few of them stood up tremblingly.
"What did you say?" Murong Xue seemed to have heard it wrong, "Okay, wow, today I want to teach you a good lesson as Concubine Yu, so that you can know what is the difference between respect and inferiority!" ”
"You used to be the princess of Qinghe in Dayan, but now you are no longer the princess of a country who wants wind and rain, you are now the woman of the king of Qin and the concubine of the Qin country! Please also keep to yourself, everything is based on the preferences of King Qin! After all, our son's blindness has not yet been investigated, and it is unknown whether it may be poisoned by you. At this juncture, if it is because of your intrusion that you disturb Gongzi, or cause his eye disease to be serious, do you think King Qin will protect Gongzi or favor you? I said without hurrying.
"You!" Murong Xue was speechless for a while.
After thinking for a long time, she said viciously to the subordinates: "Don't leave quickly." ”
When she left, I asked Qiao'er carefully. It turned out that as soon as I left, Murong Xue brought someone and said that she wanted to visit Phoenix. Qiao'er remembered that I told her that I resolutely couldn't let Murong Xue contact Murong Chong again, so I stopped Murong Xue from letting her in. Who knew that Murong Xue actually took out the posture of the master of the first palace to break into the palace, but Qiao'er desperately stopped her, so she didn't let her in. But because of this incident, Murong Xue was angered, so she ordered someone to punish a few Qiao'er. Thankfully, I came back in time, otherwise they would have suffered a little bit of flesh and skin!
When I went to Phoenix's dormitory, Phoenix was sitting by the window, dressed in plain clothes, his long hair fluttering in the wind, and a red ribbon covering his blind eyes.
"Childe ......"
"You're back!"
"Why are you sitting by the window, don't catch a cold!" I came to him and put a cloak on him.
"It's okay, it's nice to be blown by the wind. There was a lot of noise outside, what was the noise? Phoenix asked.
"It's nothing, a few subordinates are disobedient and have been punished."
"Really? Qing'er, after a while, shall we go to Pingyang City? Just me and you, the two of us. ”
"Pingyang City?"
"yes." He turned around and put his hands on my shoulders.
"Childe, when your eyes are better, you can go anywhere."
"Good!"
Yes, one day, I will take revenge on my indulgence, and the world is so big that it is the same everywhere for me, isn't it? I thought to myself.
If it weren't for revenge, there might have been no Zang Qing'er in this world.
