Chapter 119: The Game
The hall of Duanwang's Mansion is magnificent, but the atmosphere inside is not good.
"Come on, show tea to the guests, and bring a few new dim sum." Princess Duan Su Yingxue looked approachable, with an elegant and decent smile on her face.
If more than ten years ago she was still a little girl who was angry and sad because of Jun Qinglan, then now she is the hostess of the palace with a square demeanor and long sleeves and good dancing, whether this change is good or bad, I can't say.
"Princess, we'd better get straight to the point." I said, "You only need to answer me two questions, first, how did you and Duan Wang Ye know that Chen Yi had obtained the Blood Lingzhi; Second, what do you want this blood reishi to do? ”
Su Yingxue's smile did not change in the slightest: "Coincidentally, when the British prince and the prince went to exterminate the remnants of Tongtianmen, they secretly informed the official family, and the prince of my family happened to be the one who answered this again." ”
"At that time, Gu Shizi was injured and his consciousness was not very clear, but he protected this blood lingzhi very tightly, and the prince also happened to notice it."
Coincidentally, this word is really good, and I smiled faintly: "Thank you, can the princess solve the second question for Bingran?" ”
"I don't have to hide this from you, this princess met the Xiliang assassin when she was pregnant with Xiyue, so she was hit by the strange poison Baili Poison Frost, and although she was detoxified later, Xiyue was affected by this and has been weak and sick." Su Yingxue sighed slightly, "Over the years, the prince and I have asked famous doctors to regulate her body, and even worked for most of the imperial doctors in the Tai Hospital, and the only way to get in the end is to make the antidote of the Baili Poison Cream again and give it to Xiyue." ”
“…… Blood Lingzhi is not only available in Tongtianmen. ”
"But Tongtianmen is currently the only place where you can get a hundred-year-old blood reishi." Su Yingxue's eyes were full of distress and worry, "The root of Xiyue's illness fell from childhood, and it must be a hundred-year-old blood lingzhi!" ”
"It has to be a hundred years of blood lingzhi, dare to ask the princess what is the basis?" I said, "As far as I know, after the princess detoxified back then, most of the toxicity of the Baili Poison Cream had disappeared, and even if the county lord was affected, it was not enough to suppress it with a hundred-year-old blood lingzhi. ”
Su Yingxue still smiled: "Miss Shen is still young, don't talk about it." ”
"I don't talk nonsense about healing." I said calmly, "If the princess doesn't believe it, you can have Gu Xiubei's seniors from the Tai Hospital give the county lord a try first." ”
"But what my Xiyue needs is more than just Blood Lingzhi." Su Yingxue sighed again, "It's my blessing, Xiyue took her to an autumn hunt when she was twelve years old, but she fell in love with Gu Chenyi at first sight." ”
"But in the past six years, the official family has not given them marriage, and the British government has never come to the Duanwang Mansion to propose marriage."
"I understand what they're taboo about, but Xiyue doesn't understand, and she doesn't need to." Su Yingxue said, "Therefore, asking His Majesty for marriage on this ground can be the best of both worlds for Xiyue." ”
"The princess's love for her daughter is touching, and this method is indeed clever, but the princess never expected me to appear." I smiled indifferently.
"Yes, but it doesn't matter, because in real power, a civilian girl will never be able to compete for the county lord of the saint." Su Yingxue's smile made me feel a little sick to my stomach.
"Princess, I think you know the evaluation of the British government by the court and the people." I said.
"Yes, the generals are noble, and they have been loyal for generations, what's wrong?"
"Then Gu Chenyi, who is in the heart of the Xiyue County Lord, is he a gentleman who enjoys the shadow of his ancestors, or a loyal minister and good general who fights on the battlefield to protect his family and defend the country?"
"That's interesting, the deeds of the British Mansion, I'm afraid that this princess knows more than you."
"As a courtier, Gu Chenyi is not at fault, as a soldier, he has done his best, for his own selfish interests, he forced him to marry the county lord, and even threatened with his life, is it appropriate?"
"Shut up! Shen Bingran, you are so bold! Su Yingxue's soft voice suddenly sharpened, "Do you believe it or not, this princess can keep you out of this palace!" ”
"Princess, you didn't tell the whole truth to the official family and King Duan." I smiled clearly, "I have already handed over the recipe and antidote of the Hundred Miles Poison Cream to Mama Chen Shu for safekeeping, and I think you have also counted, it is not difficult for her to bring these things into the palace." ”
"Of course, telling the official family and King Duan about this matter will not shake your position, but a good courtier was imprisoned because of your selfishness, and the rare medicinal materials were also embezzled by you, I don't know how the two of them will feel, in addition to the reputation of the county lord of Xiyue......
"Say no more!" I looked at Su Yingxue trying her best to hide the panic in her eyes.
In Mama's narration, the "Xue'er" in the eyes of King Duan is sensible, kind, innocent and pure, and is the embodiment of truth, goodness and beauty; And Jun Qinglan, whom he hates, is scheming and selfish, which Su Yingxue knows very well, so when the "evil" she shows coincides with the "Mrs. Qinglan" back then, it will undoubtedly have an impact on Li Su.
This is not a perfect inference, but for Su Yingxue, Li Su's thoughts are a big deal, so she is afraid.
"The princess doesn't have to think about what to do to me, if things are too ugly, the easier it will be to show her stuff. Besides, my medical skills are still worthy of the official family to save my life. I laughed.
"So what do you want!" Su Yingxue's face now reminds me of a word, the color is very inward.
"You can't have both fish and bear's paws, does the princess want the reputation of you and the county lord or does she want Gu Chenyi to be the county horse?"
"Mother, don't listen to her!" The county lord of Xiyue rushed in coldly, with a fierce momentum, "She is here to rob my brother Yi with me, don't listen to her alarmist, if you want me to say, just beat that to death with a stick, save you a lot of dreams at night!" ”
"County Lord, many times, alarmism can also become a fact." I looked at her coldly, "Besides, don't forget, your brother Yi is still suffering in the prison!" ”
She didn't listen at all, just pointed at me and scolded: "That's Brother Yi who is fascinated by you vixen!" ”
"Really? But when I didn't have a vixen, I didn't see Chenyi's care for the county lord. I sneered and said to Su Yingxue, "Princess, I also have a false position in my body, and in the case that I have never offended, if such a fanfare of the county lord of Xiyue is heard by any mouthy subordinate, I am afraid that the people will question the tutor of Duanwangfu." ”
"Yue'er, don't be rude." Su Yingxue finally stopped the Xiyue County Lord, and said coldly to me, "Shen Bingran, tell me about your conditions, but you have also seen that my daughter will never give in to Gu Chenyi's matter, and this princess advises you to think more about the people around you." ”
"Mother!" The county lord of Xiyue still wanted to sprinkle, but was glared back by Su Yingxue.
"The princess laughed, not every woman ties all her heart to a man." I smiled, "My conditions are very simple, Chen Yi is cleared of charges and sent out of prison, I will present the blood lingzhi, and this matter will be revealed, and I will not have any more intersections with anyone in Duanwang's Mansion from now on." ”
Su Yingxue looked at me suspiciously: "You didn't mention the marriage at all?" ”
"It is the will of the official family to give marriage, and I have a low status, so I will not be stupid enough to drag a group of people to accompany the funeral." I said indifferently, "As for Gu Chenyi, the Xiyue County Lord wants to take it away with his ability, of course, maybe power is also part of his ability." ”
Su Yingxue hesitated and didn't answer, as if she didn't expect my request to be so simple, it was like smashing a pie in the sky, and the county lord of Xiyue shouted at me impatiently: "A word is decided, this is what you said, hand over the blood Lingzhi, let Brother Yi marry me, you will disappear for the county lord, and never appear in front of the county lord!" ”
I looked at her, and the corners of my mouth hooked up a cool arc: "Okay, a word is a certainty." ”
