Yan Lingxiao was like being struck by lightning, and the thin moisture in his eyes quickly condensed, and fell on the back of his hand with a click. She looked up in shock and looked at Yan Hong in front of her, and the whole person fell into a stupor.

Seeing her like this, Yan Hong showed a struggling look on his face, and said helplessly: "Second sister, you must also know that after the death of my grandfather, the Yan family has fallen to the bottom, and if we don't do anything, we will have no way out." The second and third rooms are already planning to separate, aren't they? Our Yan family's century-old foundation will be dissolved in one day. ”

Yan Lingxiao reluctantly spoke: "I...... I know ......"

Yan Hong sighed and said, "Even if there is another way, the eldest brother will not exchange your family affairs." But right now, the eldest brother really has no other way. ”

Yan Lingxiao's fingers trembled slightly, grabbed his neckline tightly, forcibly suppressed the choking in his throat, and said: "However, our Yan family is no longer favored by the emperor, if we marry the king again, I am afraid it will be ...... I will be hostile to the emperor......"

Yan Hong didn't expect that Yan Lingxiao was a weak girl, but she also knew something about the court, and the Yan family deserved to be a big family with a hundred years of accumulation. But if even Yan Lingxiao can't be convinced, he won't be Yan Hong. "Marrying the king of the crossing is not necessarily to walk with the king of the crossing. Back then, the Queen Mother supported a pair of sisters of the Song family, one of whom wanted to enter the palace as the queen, and the other who wanted to become the princess of Du to contain the king. But then things went wrong, and it didn't work out. ”

Yan Lingxiao looked at Yan Hong, who was as rich as jade in front of him, in surprise, and hesitated: "Grandfather and eldest brother back then...... No, and Yan Xuan, if they want to fight for Yan Lingtian for the position of the princess, the idea is to destroy the Empress Dowager Song's move and weaken her control of power in the court, half of it is to win the emperor's trust, and half is to fish in troubled waters, is it true that the eldest brother also wants to do this? ”

Yan Hong shook his head and said, "This time is different from the past, the emperor and the queen mother are now evenly matched, and we no longer need to do this." ”

"What does big brother mean ......"

"I did this to win the trust of the Queen Mother." Yan Hong saw Yan Ling's puzzled expression, and patiently explained: "The contradiction in the palace now is just that the emperor doesn't want the queen mother to take power again, and the queen mother is unwilling to give up the power in her hands. However, the emperor and the queen mother's mother and son are not separated, no matter what, in the end they will be unanimous to the outside world. Therefore, the eldest brother chose to contribute to the queen mother, not only not to disobey the emperor, but also to give the Yan family a chance. ”

"This ......" Yan Ling was a little stunned: "The Queen Mother, will you accept the kindness of the eldest brother?" ”

Yan Lingxiao actually wanted to ask, why did the Queen Mother believe in the Yan family for no reason? But she spoke tactfully, saving Yan Hong enough face.

"You don't have to worry about this, the eldest brother has his own way, but ......" Yan Hong's face showed guilt, and he said after a long while: "Xiao'er is so understanding, intelligent and enlightened, if she can become the princess of Du, she will definitely be able to help my Yan family survive the disaster." It's just that this matter is dangerous, and the outcome of the future cannot be predicted by the eldest brother......"

Yan Lingxiao heard him call himself "Xiao'er", and his brain went blank for a moment, and then it was replaced by sadness. Once upon a time, although she could see the dazzling of Du Wangye, she never dared to move half of her thoughts, because Du Wang Ye was favored by Yan Lingtian. Even if it's not Yan Lingtian, it's Song Yaoxian's. Her heart has always maintained peace, never thought that she would fall in love with someone one day, and only patiently waited for the family marriage to set a lifetime for her.

When her mother heard about the "Hong Yan" in the capital, and then talked to her, her heart moved fiercely. I don't know how many times I peeked at him, and I don't know how many times I cared for her, so that she couldn't remove him from her heart in her dreams day and night. Even if she learned her sister Yan Linghan's intentions, she didn't plan to back down, and for the first time in her life, she had the idea of never giving in.

However, providence makes people. This man who fell like a jade mountain and fell into his arms like a bright moon turned out to be her eldest brother!

"Xiao'er, if you don't want to, the eldest brother will never force you."

"No......" Yan Lingxiao raised his watery eyes and slowly spoke: "I am willing...... If Xiao'er can do anything for her eldest brother in this life, Xiao'er is willing. ”

Seeing Yan Lingxiao away, Yan Hong showed a satisfied smile. He stepped forward and said: "The prince is very scheming, so that in front of the emperor and the queen mother, you can attack and retreat and defend." ”

"Well, you're right." Just like what he said in the conversation with Yan Lingxiao. Yan Lingxiao thought at first that he wanted to win the emperor's trust, but he told the other party that he wanted to win the trust of the queen mother. In fact, no matter which one it is, isn't it all up to him? "From today on, my son must be a competent 'wall grass'."

He smiled and said: "The emperor has already set off from the palace, and he will return to the palace in a few days. ”

If you want to cross the king and have no chance to disobey, you can only take it by surprise and take the lead in asking the emperor for marriage before he notices it. When Yan Lingxiao married King Du, the emperor and the queen mother were provoked by him back and forth, and there would be chaos, and Ji Erlan also lost his last support. It's a good thing.

Yan Hong raised the corners of his lips and said, "That's nature." ”

……

"Niangniang, that Zhen Luo, did you do it?"

On the return car, Yun'er asked Song Yaoxian.

Before ......he could finish his words, he heard a woman's scream coming from the front. Song Yaoxian lifted the curtain of the car in surprise and looked forward, only to see that Song Yuheng's car had stopped, and the team behind him also slowly stopped. The master and servant glanced at each other, and Song Yaoxian said, "Let's go, let's go down and have a look." ”

The emperor should have also heard the movement, and at this time, an attendant trotted all the way over to report. Song Yaoxian couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she saw his frightened face.

Song Yuheng's voice came from a long distance, only to hear her scream: "What's it...... Take it off for Hongu! Yes! It hurts me to death! ”

Hanzhang had a miserable white face, retreated far away, and saw the insect landing on Song Yuheng's snow-white neck, and didn't dare to reach out and touch it: "Niangniang, don't move...... Don't move, wait for the Imperial Doctor to come...... It's like it's sucking blood......"

As soon as Song Yuheng heard this, the last trace of blood on his face also faded, faintly glowing with blue and gray, and he didn't know if he was scared, or the insects on the back of his neck were poisonous. "Where's the Imperial Doctor? Is the Imperial Doctor here? ”

Many people got out of the car, plus the palace people who followed them, and a large group of people gathered around Song Yuheng, wanting to see what happened to this holy woman. However, when everyone saw the thing on her neck, they immediately exclaimed in panic, and they all scattered far away from her, as if they had seen some demons and monsters.

Song Yaoxian walked through everyone suspiciously, looked forward, and saw Song Yuheng's neck, lying on his stomach with a palm long and two fingers wide and fleshy things, with blue and faint scales on his body, and he didn't know if it was a worm or a snake. The thing was lying on the back of her neck, and it seemed to be gnawing hard! She shuddered with fright, got countless goosebumps all over her body, and subconsciously stepped back.

Zhen Luo didn't know when he walked close and shouted, "My God! What the hell is this! Song beauty, don't you move, what if it climbs on your face?! ”

Song Yaoxian stiffly turned her head to look at her, and saw that her expression was full of mockery and pleasure, and she knew it in her heart. Holding Yun'er's hand, he quickly took a few steps back, and Zhen Luo, who was standing, was a little farther away, blending into the crowd and watching quietly.

And Song Yuheng, who heard this, couldn't bear the pain and fear anymore, and was ruthless, and grabbed the thing with a handkerchief, however, the blue insect with scales did not move at all, Song Yuheng pinched the slimy blue juice in one hand, she was so frightened that she trembled violently, shook off the juice-soaked handkerchief, and wiped her hand on the hem of her skirt, but the blue liquid seemed to have soaked into her skin, and she couldn't wipe it off.

"Can't wipe it off? How can it not be erased? "If she can't wipe off her hands, then can't she wipe the marks on her neck either? She suddenly remembered what Zhen Luo said, what if it crawled on her face, and she almost fainted. "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, save your concubines! Doctor, why hasn't the doctor come yet! ”

In Song Yuheng's urgent screams, the three accompanying imperial doctors finally squeezed over from the crowd with medicine boxes. The emperor also walked a few steps closer, he stared at Song Yuheng, and was shocked: "This ...... What is it! ”

The imperial doctors approached, and when they saw it, they all gasped. But two of them were frightened by the appearance of the bug, and only one recognized what it was. The soles of his feet were weak, and he rubbed in front of the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, this ...... It's a corpse worm......"

"Corpse worms? What is it? The emperor obviously hadn't heard of it, and his face was puzzled and frightened.

The Imperial Physician replied, "Corpse insects like to eat corpse oil the most. In the middle of summer, when the corpse is decomposed, the corpse will overflow with corpse oil, and the longevity of ordinary people is not good, which will attract these corpse insects to get into it. They are found at the hottest time of summer, and the corpse oil they eat will sustain them for a long time. When the minister was in his hometown, he had seen this kind of thing......"

Where had the emperor heard of such a creepy and disgusting thing, and he stepped back again and again.

"Your Majesty! You can't leave your concubines alone, Your Majesty! You save your concubine! Song Yuheng was so frightened by the words of the imperial doctor that he begged again and again.

The emperor opened his mouth and spoke for a long time: "Since it is a corpse worm, why is it on a living person!" What's the way, hurry! Get this thing away! ”

The imperial doctor said with a sad face: "I don't know why it appeared here...... However, the only way to kill such a thing is to burn it with fire...... In addition, the toxins of this insect will penetrate into the skin, and it will be blue in color, and it cannot be removed......"

The emperor's face turned pale, his eyes moved to Song Yuheng's face, and he turned to the imperial doctor and said angrily: "No matter what method you use, I order you to quickly find a way to deal with it now!" ”
