Chapter Ninety-Seven: To Each His Own Need
"Eighteen years ago, when there was a civil strife, you also knew that this civil strife was caused by a brother who failed to seize the throne of the first emperor and Beirong, but who would have thought that at this time, Xiliang would actually take the opportunity to send assassins to get a piece of the pie?" Chen Shu looked disgusted, "Qingmei has no blood relationship with the royal family of Xiliang, she was selected from the palace maids and sent to Huaguo with a false name, so the people of Xiliang don't care about the life or death of their sisters at all." ”
Yiwang Li Jing has also left Qingmei to go to his fiefdom after the age of ten, it can be said that Qingmei is isolated in the harem, but at that time, no one from the official family to the courtiers in Huaguo thought about how to deal with Qingmei and Jun Qinglan, because Su Yingxue, the princess who was in the palace at that time, blocked the poisoned knife fed by the Xiliang assassin for Duanwang Li Su, and her life was in danger.
Just when Li Su was so angry that he vomited blood twice and fainted once, and everyone in the Tai Hospital felt that the head on his neck was in danger, the Queen Mother Gu Qian suddenly thought of the Qing Mei, who was already living like an invisible person in the palace, and her sister Jun Qinglan, who was good at poison.
As a result, the Qingwu Palace of Qingmei ushered in the most lively day after the death of the first emperor, and Jun Qinglan, who was still taking a nap, was forcibly woken up and taken to Duanwang's Mansion.
Chen Shu and Chen Xian also went with him that day, Su Yingxue's courtyard was full of doctors and maids, and even Gu Xiubei, the chief physician of the Tai Hospital, was sent and sighed sadly.
The three of them walked through the busy crowd into Su Yingxue's bedroom, and the sisters of the Su family who rushed to hear the news were all wiping their tears, and Duanwang Li Su took the unconscious Su Yingxue's hand and squatted in front of the bed like a stone sculpture, and there were still rare undried blood stains on his pale lips.
Jun Qinglan walked to the bed of this dying "rival in love", pulled Li Su aside, took a pulse for Su Yingxue and looked at his pupils, and said calmly: "It's a hundred miles of poisonous frost." ”
"The colorless and tasteless Xiliang strange poison can spread all over the water source within half an hour of a hundred miles of water, and it is also the favorite poison used by assassins."
"The ancient imperial doctor said that this poison is very rare in Xiliang, I don't know if there is a way to save it?" This may be the first time Li Su has taken the initiative to talk to Jun Qinglan.
"Baili poisonous cream is rare in Xiliang, because there are two flavors of medicine in it that grow at the junction of Huaguo and Xiliang, which is more difficult to pick." Jun Qinglan said, "As for the method of detoxification, Yu Tai Hospital is more difficult, but for me, it is quite easy." ”
Li Su's bloodshot eyes immediately sparkled, and he knelt down to Jun Qinglan as if grasping a life-saving straw.
"Please save her."
"Okay, but I have the conditions."
Jun Qinglan's condition was to let Li Su accompany her for one night.
I almost laughed out loud: "Mrs. Qinglan's hand is taking advantage of people's danger, and it is inevitable that it will ...... Isn't it too smart? ”
Chen Shu also smiled: "Yes, in fact, I saw that she promised so happily, and I already guessed seven or eight points in my heart." ”
"Then did Li Su promise her?"
"After vomiting blood again, I agreed."
Li Su nodded, Jun Qinglan immediately took out the antidote, and even gave the method of treating the knife wound and the follow-up conditioning of the body, but she also told Li Su that an antidote could not eradicate the toxins of the Baili Poison Cream, and she had to take another antidote after four years.
The meaning of these words is very clear, if Li Su thinks that it is impossible to pretend to agree first and then turn his face and deny it. Moreover, if he was perfunctory because he was resentful, Jun Qinglan might do something with the antidote, so he could only bend his mind to flatter.
I said, "However, I can understand why Li Su gritted his teeth at the mention of his hatred for Mrs. Qinglan. ”
In short, Jun Qinglan relied on her ability to once with her sweetheart Li Suchunfeng, who had never taken her seriously, which was a good proof of the meaning of the phrase "more skills do not pressure the body".
However, for Li Su, this incident has become a great shame for him, and Su Yingxue was deeply affected by this incident after she got better, and she hid for more than half a year and did not want to see him, and even proposed that the two reconcile and leave, so that Li Su could marry Jun Qinglan as a concubine, and the hatred in Li Su's heart for Jun Qinglan has far overwhelmed gratitude.
Jun Qinglan is an interesting person, and at this time, due to civil strife, it is not safe to live in the palace, so he found a reason, took Chen Shu, moved out of the palace with Qingmei, and lived with Chen Xian's family. The tense situation and the Chen Shu sisters' already successful martial arts skills have not hindered them much. Li Su also wished that they could disappear in front of his eyes, so the domestic chaos was a mess, and the entanglement between the two came to an end temporarily.
"What about Yiwang? What happened to him at that time? ”
"So this Li Jing, although he is a little clever, is quite good at the conspiracy and calculation of the court's harem, but he lacks the responsibility and courage of some people who have achieved great things." Chen Shu said, "His fiefdom at that time was in the west, not big, but it was better to be safe and easy to defend, it is said that when the civil strife occurred, this kind of place with a slight foundation and easy to hold is the capital to be properly managed, who knew that he was timid, the rebels had not yet come to the city, and the people were gearing up to defend their homes. ”
"When I saw him in Dingyan City before, I felt that although he was ruthless, he was a paper-paste tiger in key matters, and it was true that it was true." I smiled, "After all, Mama, you also said that Li Jing's training is not good, and it is not incomprehensible to ask a person who obviously takes the path of a rich and noble idler to fight against the rebels." ”
"Rich idlers? If he really just wants to be a rich idler, his mother Jun Qinglian doesn't have to die for him. Chen Shu sneered, "I don't have many outstanding political achievements, and I don't have much to win the hearts of the people, and I also left some tails to take advantage of the civil strife to form a party so that Li Jian noticed that he, the king of Yi, was afraid that he didn't have a brain." ”
In short, when Li Jing did nothing reliable when she was in a national disaster, someone finally began to talk about the Xiliang bloodline of the Qing beauty, and Yiwang was also involved in several books on the charges of "forming a party" and "cowardice" because of half of the Xiliang bloodline.
Li Jian can be regarded as the kind of benevolence and humanity among the emperors, and he has always been good to his princes and brothers, and his brothers and brothers are happy and happy, but Li Jing and his brotherhood can only be said to be superficial, and they can only get along with each other on face.
However, being a superficial brother does not mean that he wants to kill his brother, and the situation in Huaguo at that time also made him have little energy to think about the ethical and emotional distress caused by killing King Yi, and everything must be focused on the overall situation. Therefore, with Li Jing's reputation among ministers and the people, even if Li Jian really attacked King Yi, he was afraid that he would not leave any infamy.
And just when Li Jing was guarded in King Yi's mansion and couldn't get out, and maybe his imperial brother would investigate it again, and his crime could be given to death, the Qingmei who had disappeared for a long time returned to the Huaguo Palace.
Just when everyone thought that this woman who did not die in the civil strife must be reluctant to return to her son, but her identity and power could not be changed by any means, what happened later really shocked those ministers who demanded severe punishment for the "remnants of Western Liang".
First of all, Li Jian quietly stopped pursuing Li Jing's culpability, and the main investigation officials kept silent and threw the case out as a hot potato;
Secondly, there are a lot of rumors among the people that there is more Mrs. Qinglan in the mansion of Duanwang Li Su, and this lady also has a three-year-old daughter, and the two Chen female officials who were originally with Qingmei were also witnessed entering and leaving Duanwang's mansion.
The people all said that in the past, when King Duan married the concubine, he swore in public that he would be a couple with the princess for the rest of his life, this move could be described as shaking the world at that time, and for a time Princess Duan Su Yingxue became the object of envy of the women in the boudoir.
