Chapter 43: Conspiracy
Summer will come in a blink of an eye, calculate the time, if the prince of Chenguo has a smooth journey, he should arrive in Qidu.
When he arrived in Qidu, all the plans were about to begin, and Gu Xiaonuan was faintly uneasy in his heart. Although the plan is seamless, it will encounter many difficulties and even changes in its implementation, and if she loses this battle, I am afraid that her life will also end.
If you want to survive in this era, then this battle must be won, and there is no way back. If Qi Du's side starts to act, then it will not be difficult for his side to slack off.
The summer climate is stuffy and panicked, Gu Xiaonuan has to sleep for a while every afternoon, otherwise he will have no strength all day, just in response to that sentence, if he doesn't sleep at noon, he will die in the afternoon.
As before, Gu Xiaonuan went to sleep after lunch, but when he stretched out his hand to pull the quilt, he felt a cold, and before he could pull up the quilt, he saw that a small snake had crawled up along his arm, Gu Xiaonuan screamed in fright and took a step back.
Tingyin heard the shouting and hurriedly ran in, only to see five or six small snakes suddenly sprang out from under the quilt, one of which had already climbed up Gu Xiaonuan's arm, panicked, and Tingyin suddenly shouted in a hurry, not knowing what to do.
Gu Xiaonuan touched the short sword on her waist in a panic, the short sword that Chen Zichen gave her, hurriedly pulled out the short sword, and the moment she swung it, it cut off the little snake that had climbed to her shoulder.
The little snake suddenly broke into two and fell to the ground, still churning and jumping to crawl to the ground. Gu Xiaonuan was most afraid of snakes, this fright, the frightened soul was scattered, and now she was trembling all over, looking at the little snakes crawling out one after another under the quilt, she couldn't say a word.
Fortunately, Pei An, who was outside the house, heard the movement, rushed in, and watched the little snakes crawling in the queen's bedroom swing their knives and cut them one by one, and those little snakes were immediately broken into several pieces. It's just that the snake's vitality is too strong, and even if it is cut off, it still jumps on the ground.
Gu Xiaonuan's face was pale with fright, and it was summer again, and he was sweating all over his body at this time, but he was in a cold sweat.
Looking at the small snakes that were broken into several pieces and jumping everywhere on the ground, Gu Xiaonuan only felt sick to his stomach, and his face turned even paler.
"...... Queen?" Pei An looked at her with some concern, "Is the queen injured?" ”
"How...... How can there be so many snakes, this, there must be dozens of them, right? Listening to the sound also frightened the snake pointing to the ground trembled.
Gu Xiaonuan was speechless, she was really frightened. She has two fears in her life, one is afraid of mice, the other is afraid of snakes, and she is afraid of seeing it, not to mention that the snake is directly afraid of her arm today, this is the first time she knows that the body of the snake is cold.
"Princess......?" Listening to the sound, she reacted at this moment to come to see Gu Xiaonuan, and looking at Gu Xiaonuan who was looking at her stupidly, she hurriedly stepped forward to check if Gu Xiaonuan was injured.
Gu Xiaonuan lowered his head slightly, stopped listening, and then looked at Pei An with some godless eyes, and said in a slow tone, "It's okay, summer is coming, and it's ......normal to have snakes." Then he turned back to Tingyin and said, "Ayin, go get some realgar wine and pour it around the house." ”
Then he slowly turned around and walked out of the room. Pei An had never seen the queen look so discolored, and there was no trace of blood on her face, just a big cold sweat.
Gu Xiaonuan now felt that there were snakes everywhere here, and it was not safe anywhere, and his whole body was terrified.
Tingyin looked at Gu Xiaonuan, who slowly walked out of the room with a somewhat unsteady footing, and hurriedly arranged for someone to come in to clean the room, put on the quilt for Gu Xiaonuan again, and ordered someone to get realgar wine. After some arrangements, she went to see Gu Xiaonuan, who was sitting alone in the courtyard in a daze.
Gu Xiaonuan seemed to be pondering, and she seemed to be frightened, and she sat on the stone steps alone in a daze, without speaking or making a sound.
"Princess?" Tingyin walked up to her with some concern and looked at her.
"Ayin, what is the king doing?"
Tingyin originally thought that she would ask a series of questions such as whether the snakes in the house had been cleaned up, but she didn't expect to ask this sentence.
Listening to the sound was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted and said, "The king seems to be very busy these days, and he went to the council hall after the court, and even Concubine An rarely went there." ”
She has been busy with government affairs since she was close to the king, and she hasn't been here for a few days, and she doesn't know what Gu Xiaonuan is doing when she asks this, she has always disliked leaving the king to come to her.
"Ayin, go prepare a carriage, I'm going out of the palace."
Listening to the sound and stunned, could it be that Princess Yao was too frightened and wanted to go out for a walk, she was in a bad mood on weekdays, and she also liked to run outside the palace, so she didn't ask, nodded and went to arrange the carriage and horses.
Turning her eyes back slightly, Gu Xiaonuan looked at the palace people who were busy cleaning in the dormitory, she knew that she couldn't delay any longer.
Here, since someone can't tolerate him, he can't sit still, it's time to make a difference.
The snakes didn't climb into her bed for no reason, although the dormitory was surrounded by greenery, so it wasn't surprising that there were snakes. But one is reasonable, there are so many snakes, it is clear that those snakes are attracted by people, and there are so many, they are all highly poisonous snakes, clearly trying to let themselves die. Today, if you don't pull the quilt first, but lie down directly as in the past, then it is impossible to sit here at this time.
Pei An has been in Beijing these days, so he is almost guarding outside his dormitory, and he is about to become his personal attendant. With Pei An's protection, those who want to do it secretly have naturally never had the opportunity to think of such a way.
Thinking about it, they are also impatient, so why not give them a chance.
Thinking of this, Gu Xiaonuan stood up, slowly walked out of the dormitory, and walked in the direction of the king's ceremonial hall.
When Gu Xiaonuan went, he was just finished leaving Wang, and he was the only one in the meeting hall. He was sitting in front of the desk, flipping through a book in his hand, looking at Gu Xiaonuan who came in, he stood up with a slight smile.
"Ah Yao, why are you here?"
Gu Xiaonuan walked in front of King Li, curtsed slightly, "I wonder if Ayao has disturbed Brother Yi?" ”
It's been a long time since I've heard the queen call herself Brother Yi, but today I heard that the king suddenly remembered his days in Qidu, those riding horses with the queen through the jungle stream, and the whole jungle stream was the queen's cheerful and crisp laughter like a silver bell.
Thinking of those long-ago memories, Wang couldn't help but rise slightly recently, and looked at Gu Xiaonuan, "No, it's all over, Ayao is here, is there anything wrong?" ”
"I'm ......," Gu Xiaonuan paused and didn't know how to speak, and thought for a while before saying, "Ah Yao sees that the weather is very good today, and wants to ask Brother Yi to allow Ah Yao to go out." ”
What is the matter with Wang Dang, I didn't expect Gu Xiaonuan to say this, and said with a slight smile, "It turns out that it is such a trivial matter, if Ah Yao wants to go, go there." But having said that, seeing that the weather outside was sunny and he was flustered at noon, he seemed to be a little moved, mainly because after leaving Qidu, he never stepped on the green with the queen again.
Looking at Gu Xiaonuan with a slight smile, he left the royal road, "That, is Ayao willing to take your brother Yi with you?" ”
Gu Xiaonuan was slightly stunned, and said with some concern, "But, the king is busy with government affairs, will this delay the king?" ”
"No, it's done." Liwang shook his head, looked at Gu Xiaonuan still a little hesitant, and said, "What, Ayao is unwilling to take this king with you?" ”
Gu Xiaonuan shook her head when she heard this, "No, no, of course I want to, if Brother Yi can go with Ah Yao, Ah Yao will naturally be happy." ”
As soon as Wang Li heard that Gu Xiaonuan was willing to take him with him, he hurriedly ordered someone to change into light clothes for him.
