Chapter Seventy-Nine: Inextricable Threads (3)
Jiao Changqing was stunned, but he didn't speak.
Meng Xilan didn't expect his answer, turned her eyes to look out the window, and said lightly: "It's raining outside, I'll let Zhulu bring an umbrella for the adult." ”
When Jiao Changqing heard this, his beautiful black and white eyes were full of puzzlement, is this an eviction order? What do you mean by that? Her tone didn't look like she was joking, so why did she suddenly change when she said it?
Seeing the umbrella that Zhulu took out, Jiao Changqing frowned with some dissatisfaction, got up and left.
Zhulu came to Meng Xilan: "Master, although Lord Jiao is a little arrogant, you are still loyal to your master. ”
Meng Xilan tilted her head, glanced at her red face, and said, "He is not loyal to me, but kind." ”
Jiao Changqing seems to be indifferent, but he is also a little kind-hearted, and he is thoughtful and thoughtful.
The days to come are still long, and Meng Xilan needs a doctor who can be used by her to help her turn evil into good fortune, but Jiao Changqing's personality and temper give her a headache...... He is tall and a descendant of a medical family, so it is inevitable that he will be arrogant and stubborn, and it is not easy to get along. He has had no worries about food and clothing since he was a child, and he will definitely not be able to impress him by the flattery of material money alone.
What should I do? Meng Xilan lowered her eyes, fiddled with the jade bracelet on her wrist, and thought quietly. There will always be a way, no one is perfect, and he must have weaknesses.
……
A cold moon hung high in the night sky, pale and shining, shining on the empty road, cold and bleak.
Zhou Shixian didn't know why he appeared here, and the plaque in front of him was impressively written with the three big characters "Changqing Palace", which was very dazzling.
"Someone...... To the people of me! Zhou Shixian frowned, but no one stepped forward to respond. The surroundings were empty, except for the confined palace gates and the miserable white moonlight.
For some reason, Zhou Shixian reached out and opened the gate of Changqing Palace, it was pitch black, there was nothing, not even the moonlight in the sky.
"Why am I here? What about people? Where have all the people gone? Zhou Shixian's body trembled uncontrollably, his throat tightened, and even his voice trembled a little.
Next Second...... A figure suddenly appeared in the distance! It was male or female, disheveled, sluggish, and dressed in a shabby white robe with a torn hem and mottled stains.
"Who are you?" Zhou Shixian asked angrily.
But the man in white was silent, and in the blink of an eye he came to him, suddenly raised his face, and smiled at him.
It was the most terrible face in the world. Its pale skin was as blue as a dead man, its scarred face was faintly visible, its nose was collapsed, its eyes were scarlet, but not the whites of its eyes, and its thin lips were full of tears, and blood was constantly flowing......
Zhou Shixian screamed in fright, and was about to retreat, but found that his legs seemed to be frozen, no matter how hard he tried, it was in vain.
The man in white leaned forward slightly, leaned in front of his door, and said with a strange smile: "Your Majesty, it's a concubine......
This "concubine" made Zhou Shixian instantly break out in a cold sweat.
"Who the hell are you?"
"Your Majesty, it's a concubine...... The concubine has been waiting for the emperor here, why don't you come, Your Majesty? Why don't you come......" Her voice sounded strange and familiar, cold as ice in hell, and slowly, two lines of tears flowed from her scarlet eyes, which were actually red, red as blood.
"You are Concubine Xiao...... Impossible, impossible! Zhou Shixian was frightened, and he didn't know what to do.
"The concubine died so unjustly, and the concubine's son was even more wronged...... Your Majesty, you promised your concubine, the concubine's son will become the most honorable prince in Beiyan, and you promised your concubine to give him all the good things in this world......" As he spoke, the expression of the man in white instantly became hideous, and he reached out and clamped Zhou Shixian's throat, and said with hatred: "You deceived me so hard, deceived my son so hard, I want you to die, I want you to die!" ”
All this happened too suddenly? Zhou Shixian didn't have time to think about what was going on? I can only struggle with all my might, trying to escape from here!
The man in white just refused to let him go easily, and kept shouting hoarsely in his ear: "You owe me, you owe me, I want you to die, I want you to die now!" ”
Zhou Shixian's head was buzzing, and he felt a dizziness in front of him, only to see the man in white open his bloody mouth at him, as if he wanted to swallow him whole!
"No!" With a loud cry from the person next to him, Murong sat up skillfully, turned his head to look, and saw Zhou Shixian struggling with his eyes closed, stretching out a pair of hands to scratch in the air.
Murong Qiao was startled, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty...... What's wrong with you, Your Majesty? ”
Zhou Shixian was immersed in a nightmare, unable to extricate himself, frightened and uneasy.
When Murong Qiao saw this, he only felt that he must be in a nightmare.
Chang Hai heard the movement outside, and hurriedly brought someone in to check, but he was also frightened.
Murong Qiao grabbed his hand and shook it vigorously, barely waking him up from his nightmare.
"Your Majesty, open your eyes and see, it's a concubine."
Zhou Shixian opened his eyes coldly, looked at the figure in front of him in horror, and couldn't tell whether she was a human or a ghost for a while.
Murong Qiao was shocked, he didn't have time to think about it at all, and hurriedly instructed Chang Haidao: "Go and ask the imperial doctor, hurry up!" ”
Chang Hai almost fell down in fright, but he didn't dare to delay for a moment, so he went to the Tai Hospital to ask for someone.
After Zhou Shixian vomited blood, he lay on the side of the bed, sweating all over his head, and muttered to himself in pain: "It's her soul, she came to find me......"
Murong Qiao heard it sincerely, and asked with red eyes: "Your Majesty, what are you talking about?" ”
Zhou Shixian's eyes widened, and he pointed to the southeast direction with his finger, which was the direction of Changqing Palace. "It's her, my orb, she's back."
Orb?! This name was like a thunderbolt, blasting on Murong Qiao's heart.
She subconsciously shook her head: "You said Concubine Xiao?" Your Majesty, Concubine Xiao has been dead for thirteen years......"
Zhou Shixian struggled to get up and sit up, looked into her eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "It's her, she still remembers my promise back then!" After saying this, his eyes suddenly went black, and he fainted completely.
However, after a cup of tea, the news reached Cining Palace.
The Queen Mother was shocked and almost fainted with her.
As soon as something happened to the emperor, the entire palace was in chaos, and many people were so frightened that their souls were gone, especially those who saw the emperor vomit blood with their own eyes, and they were most afraid that the emperor would really have something wrong, and they would be difficult to live.
Meng Xilan has always slept late, but now because of Jiao Changqing's matter, she was upset, and then she didn't fall asleep for a long time.
The sound of panicked footsteps outside made her think. Zhu Lu went out and asked Mama Kong, only to know that something had happened to the emperor.
"What?" Meng Xilan was surprised when she heard this, and thought for a while: "Is it an assassin, or what?" ”
Zhulu shook her head, "The slave doesn't know...... Mama Kong has already gone to the Queen Mother to serve at this time. Why don't I let Lizi go out and inquire? ”
Meng Xilan raised her hand and signaled not to. "I'll go to the Queen Mother and ask in person."
When something like this happens, she can't sit still, even if she limps.
The Queen Mother was so shocked that she had a headache again, lying on the couch, stroking her forehead, and couldn't get up when she thought about it.
Gonggong Lu and Mama Kong both stood in front of him and served, and softly comforted: "Niangniang is relieved, her body is important." ”
"Yes, long live Ye Shou and Tianqi, it will be fine."
Meng Xilan listened attentively and stepped forward slowly: "The queen mother ......"
When the Queen Mother heard this, she hurriedly raised her eyes to look at her: "Why are you here?" ”
Meng Xilan's voice was soft, with a hint of weak worry: "I'm worried about the queen mother, and I'm also worried about the emperor." ”
The Queen Mother frowned and sighed, held her hand, and was speechless for a while.
Meng Xilan pondered for a moment, and felt that she should not talk much for the time being, and ask more carefully.
The Queen Mother asked Gonggong Lu to go on a trip to see if the emperor was in trouble.
Meng Xilan quietly accompanied the Queen Mother, and also wanted to know what happened to the emperor?
If they weren't assassins, who else could there be? Who else can get close to the emperor's body, hurt him, and harm him?
Father-in-law Lu went for half an hour before hurrying back. He walked in a hurry, his head was full of sweat, and his face turned pale: "Niangniang, the emperor just had a nightmare, he was too frightened, and he hurt his heart...... I vomited a mouthful of blood before, and this hospital is trying to figure out a way. ”
Incubus...... Haematemesis...... Meng Xilan's heart trembled when she heard this. How is this possible! What kind of dream can actually scare the empty-eyed emperor into vomiting blood?
When the Queen Mother heard this, she couldn't sit still any longer, propped up her head like a thousand pounds, got up and said, "Prepare a sedan chair!" ”
Meng Xilan held her hand and barely stood firmly: "I'll accompany the queen mother." ”
Last time the prince had an accident, she didn't shy away from it, and now with her identity, it is understandable that she wants to go over.
The Queen Mother held her soft little hand, and finally regained a little sense. "Okay, you go with the mourning family."
After Zhou Shixian fell into a coma, Murong Qiao was taken out of the inner hall by the palace people, she was wearing a cloak and a tulle nightdress, and there was a little blood stain on the skirt, which was the emperor's blood.
Empress Su was the first to arrive, and when she saw Murong Qiao sitting there, she was furious, and went straight forward and slapped her.
Her hand was poisonous, and she slapped it down, not loud, but full of strength.
Murong Qiao was caught off guard and was almost hit to the ground by her, she was still a little confused, but after receiving this slap, she immediately came to her senses.
She stood up and was about to fight back, but was persuaded by Chang Hai beside her: "Two mothers, don't do it, you have something to say." ”
Murong Qiao coldly shook off his hand: "It was the palace that was beaten, what are you doing to stop the palace!" ”
Chang Hai was obviously pulling the shelf, Queen Su gritted her teeth and looked at Murong Qiao, and said angrily: "It's all you, a fox, who hurt the emperor." ”
"This palace has never done anything, it is the emperor himself who has a nightmare!" Murong Qiao argued with reason.
She herself was scared enough, why should she be reprimanded by the queen.
If it was usual, Queen Su would definitely not dare to touch a single hair of Murong Qiao, but now it is different, the emperor is in her palace, and something happens to her side, no matter what, she will not escape the blame!
