Chapter 51: Revenge
Liangyi Palace is magnificent, the palace people cleaned and arranged for three days to look more luxurious, Xia Man was led by the ceremonial aunt to worship the emperor, paid tribute to the Taimiao, only dragged the tired body into the main hall, only to remove the dress, hairpin ring, Xia Man on the pillow.
"Niangniang, this is a fetal medicine specially ordered by the emperor, you can take it quickly." Xin'er put the medicine bowl next to the couch, gently helped Xia Man up, and pinched her shoulder.
Xia Man reluctantly picked up the medicine bowl, it was difficult to swallow just smelling the taste, but after Qianying checked the pulse, he said that his fetal gas was unstable, and he had to take fetal medicine from time to time, but he couldn't resist Xiao Mo's majesty, so he gave a strict order and had to drink, so he pinched his nose, gritted his teeth, and drank all the medicine in three or two sips, almost choking.
"Niangniang, slow down and eat a candied fruit." Seeing this, Xin'er hurriedly smoothed Xia Man, and took the candied fruit for Xia Man, which eliminated some bitterness.
"How long will I have to drink this medicine?" Xia Man was miserable, Rao was holding candied fruit in his mouth, and he was not comfortable.
Xin'er covered her mouth and chuckled, and just as she was about to speak, she raised her eyes and saw a touch of bright yellow, so she consciously retreated.
"When the emperor lands, you don't have to drink."
Hearing the voice, he knew that it was Xiao Mo, Xia Man was lazy, and he didn't get up, and said, "I suspect that you are taking the opportunity to fix me." ”
Xiao Mo shook his head, and said a little helplessly: "I'm going to be a mother, why are you still childish, this decoction is specially made for you by Qianying, not only can it stabilize the fetal gas, but it will also relieve your pain when he gives birth every day." ”
"Oh." Xia Man pouted, rubbed his waist, changed his posture and reclined, and said: "The etiquette of entering the seal is so cumbersome, it's really a toss." ”
"It's already as minimalist as possible, if you change your usual times, I'm afraid you're still transcribing patriarchal rituals at the moment." Xiao Mo approached, sat on the couch, and covered Xia Man with a thin blanket.
Because of his anger in his heart, Xia Man drove Xiao Mo out of the dormitory for three consecutive nights, and now it was dusk, and he began to pick up people again, "I'm tired, I'm going to sleep, the emperor should go somewhere else." ”
"Is this still not out of gas?" Xiao Mo picked up a bunch of green silk on Xia Man's forehead and rubbed it on his fingertips.
Xia Man deliberately turned his head to the side and muttered, "That's nature." ”
"I confessed my mistakes to you, and still refuse to forgive me?" Xiao Mo took advantage of the situation to bury his head in Xia Man's neck, and his voice became soft, "If you still drive me out today, tomorrow, the entire Southern Dynasty will laugh at me." ”
Xia Man was a little surprised, this voice and tone were the same as when he made a mistake and his mother was coquettish, and his heart softened, and said, "Then you can stay tonight." ”
So, with tonight, there will be tomorrow night, the night after tomorrow, so, it is no longer possible to drive people away, fortunately, Xiao Mo also changed the law to please Xia Man, today to send a letter of confession, tomorrow to send a concentric knot, the day after tomorrow to send a white head yin, slowly dissolving the depression in Xia Man's heart.
It has been more than half a month since he moved into Liangyi Palace, Xiao Mo made a strict order in order to let Xia Man recuperate, and he did not allow everyone in the Sixth Palace to disturb him, and he also avoided asking Weiyang Palace for peace.
"Sister, why does the emperor treat the concubine so well." Ye Wanli has been sour since she invited An out of the Yang Palace.
Feng Ruoqing saw through her thoughts at a glance, and comforted: "The emperor treats you well, don't think about it, the concubine is pregnant now, so naturally she has to take care of her more." ”
Ye Wanli smiled, without saying a word, took Feng Ruoqing's hand and walked slowly.
The two of them walked away, and Liu Wuwu excused himself to drop something, took Ling'er away, and avoided people all the way to the cold palace and saw the former queen Liu Jin.
"Auntie."
Hearing the voice, Liu Jin saw the person from the crack in the peeling window, and sneered: "How noble is Concubine Xian, why did she come to this gloomy place." ”
Liu Wuwu couldn't see the inner room clearly through the window, only felt dark and damp, and said with self-mockery: "I have been demoted to Concubine Liu." ”
"Self-inflicted." Liu Jin didn't have many good words, and he was very disappointed in this niece.
"My niece knows that she is wrong, and she begs my aunt to help me for the sake of her father." Liu Wuwu put her hands on the dusty window eaves, trying to see the people inside.
Liu Jin was silent for a long time before he spoke: "How do you want me to help you?"
Liu Wuwu ignited hope and said urgently: "I want the emperor's favor." ”
Liu Jin sneered in a low voice, and then changed to a gentle voice, "Take this thing to Qiuyun, she will help you." With that, a black porcelain vase was handed out from the dark window.
Liu Wuwu hurriedly took it, and after thanking him for his kindness, he took the secret path and went to the northwest abandoned hall and saw Qiuyun.
After Qiuyun saw this black porcelain vase, he knew Liu Jin's intentions, took out a box of incense powder and handed it to Liu Wuwu, and instructed: "This is a fascination incense, you use the rootless water in the porcelain vase to soak it, apply it to your body, and approach the emperor every day, so that you can get what you want." ”
"Thank you, sister." Liu Wuwu hid the incense powder and porcelain bottle, and returned to the palace satisfied.
When it was raining in the valley, Xia Man's belly was rising day by day, Xiao Mo saw that there was no ancient tree shade near the Liangyi Palace, and he was afraid that Xia Man was afraid of heat, so he found a soft veil to hang in front of the hall, and chiseled ice cubes and piled them up at the four corners, so that the sun was shining outside the palace, and the inner hall was still cool.
"Listen to Xin'er, you've been very sleepy lately." Xiao Mo got off the court, and before he could change into his court clothes, he rushed to Liangyi Palace.
Xia Man was nesting in the corner of the couch at this time, napping, and when he saw Xiao Mo entering the hall, he barely dispelled some sleepiness, and said lazily: "The weather has been too suitable for sleeping recently." ”
"Hurry up, I'll take you out of the palace." Xiao Mo said and began to take off his court clothes and change into civilian clothes.
Hearing that he could leave the palace, Xia Man suddenly fell asleep, got up and changed into plain clothes, pulled his hair in a bun at will, and followed Xiao Mo from the southwest corner gate and sneaked out of the palace.
However, after a stick of incense, the two came to a valley on the outskirts of Yecheng, and as far as the eye could see, the trees on the mountain were lush and green, the mountainside was dotted with small red and pink flowers, and the sound of birds everywhere lingered in their ears, which was very happy.
Xiao Mo helped Xia Man, for fear that her feet would be unstable, "Follow this path, and within a quarter of an hour, you will see a pavilion, and it is best to look at this valley in the pavilion." ”
Xia Man simply relied on Xiao Mo, and saved a lot of effort when he walked, and said, "I heard that you punished the Zhang family?"
"Well, I sent her and Zhang Qi back to their hometown, and they will never be allowed to enter the city." As soon as Xiao Mo returned to the palace, he issued a decree to crown Zhang Qi as a concubine, and even the dress and title were prepared, which really made the Zhang family overjoyed, and when he wanted to thank him, Xiao Mo made another holy decree, degrading the two of them to concubines, exiled to their hometowns, and came and went, so angry that the Zhang family couldn't breathe for a long time, of course, Xiao Mo didn't plan to tell Xia Man about the process.
Xia Man sighed lightly, without saying a word, and walked towards the pavilion with Xiao Mo.
After a short time, the two arrived and sat down in the pavilion, which had an unobstructed view of the entire valley.
"It's not as deep as Shen Valley, but it's a good place." Xia Man stretched his head out of the pavilion and breathed hard into the fragrant air.
Xiao Mo heard her mention Shen Gu, and couldn't help asking, "By the way, I always wanted to ask you why you were in Shen Gu at that time and were injured. ”
"That...... Accident, accident. Xia Man obviously didn't expect Xiao Mo to suddenly ask like this, so he planned to prevaricate.
Xiao Mo looked at Xia Man with an inquiring gaze, Xia Man was weak in heart, and lied about stomach pain, so he fooled him.
With something in his heart, he was not interested in enjoying the beautiful scenery anymore, so he pestered Xiao Mo to leave here, but halfway through, he met a young woman, who was very weak and leaning on the side of the boulder, with ragged clothes and messy hair, very pitiful.
Seeing this, Xiao Mo was suspicious of deceit, so he protected Xia Man aside and looked at the woman in front of him vigilantly.
Xia Man looked at it curiously, and found that there were a few small red marks on the woman's neck, bruises on her wrists, and faint palm prints on her cheeks, and asked, "What's wrong?" Why are you here?"
The woman listened to the voice, raised her eyes and saw the two of them, her eyes were indifferent, her tone was flat, and she said, "This is the place where you have fallen." ”
Xia Man thought about it in his heart, took out Mu Handong's jade plate and put it next to the woman, and said: "This jade plate is owned by the royal family of the Northern Dynasty, and you can pass through all parts of the Northern Dynasty." ”
The woman couldn't hide her shock, picked up the jade card, looked at it front and back, put it in her arms, got up and saluted Xia Man, and said, "Thank you." ”
Xia Man smiled and was led away by Xiao Mo.
Out of the valley, it was noon, the two found a restaurant, ordered some food, waited for the break to serve, and began to chat.
"The jade plate of the Mu royal family, how can you have it?" Xiao Mo seemed to be careless, but the vinegar in his words was heard by Xia Man.
"Here." Xia Man smiled, picked up a rough process and told him to listen.
"You......" Xiao Mo doted on Xia Man's forehead.
Xia Man leaned into Xiao Mo's ear and said softly, "I think that woman will definitely do something to the Mu royal family." ”
"How so?" Xiao Mo took advantage of the situation to hug Xia Man and straighten the broken hair around her ears.
Xia Man said: "There is a symbol on her chest, don't you see it?"
Xiao Mo was a little embarrassed and said, "Don't look at indecent things." ”
Xia Man chuckled lightly and said, "I have seen this symbol in the secret room of Mu Hanchuan in Beichen Palace, it seems to be some kind of mysterious organization. ”
Xia Man saw Xiao Mo's confused look, and continued: "I guess Mu Hanchuan also has a force of his own, which is similar to the Illusion Pavilion, and that woman is the person inside, maybe she made a mistake or maybe she failed the mission and was discarded, if you have the opportunity to get close to Mu Hanchuan again, it must be very exciting." ”
Xiao Mo nodded and said, "I am not willing to take poison in such a situation, maybe there is really a hidden secret." ”
Not only the Illusion Pavilion, Rao is a large number of forces in the two dynasties, once there is a person who fails in the mission, it is nothing more than dealing with and being dealt with by himself, and those who can survive must not be ordinary people.
