Chapter 160: The Dungeon
Shangguan Wenci avoided Chu Lianruo's too innocent gaze, such eyes would make her feel worthless, and it would make her think back to the past and be ashamed. ()
At that time, why did she find Chu Lianruo without investigation? "Concubine Xi doesn't want to be presumptuous."
"Huh?"
"You're not a persimmon." Shangguan Wenci was playing word games with Chu Lianruo, and Chu Lianruo really paused.
Shangguan Wenci accepted it when he saw it, and the two of them seemed to be friends, not enemies. "Su Rong......" she called out.
Su Rong came in quickly, and after getting her orders, he found a few eunuchs, moved the soft couch, and now the two of them got closer and closer, and put a wooden table in the middle, and put the chessboard on it, and after everything was ready, they all withdrew.
Chu Lian Ruo Heizi went first, and landed in the center.
Shangguan Wenci raised his eyebrows, did not get close, but dropped one in the corner.
"Let's talk about the past, you must have been to a lot of places in the rivers and lakes as the daughter of a martial arts family, haven't you?" These are what her father General Qin said in her previous life, her father was most envious of the rivers and lakes, but he didn't want to be entangled in fame and be captured by the royal family, and since then he has guarded the whole country, but he has not been able to keep his home.
Probably didn't expect that the first emperor would give birth to such a wolf-hearted son, she still vaguely remembered that her old father came to ask her on the eve of her wedding, whether she would not marry Xu Rong.
She blushed that day and said timidly, yes.
At that time, her father obviously sighed deeply, and she didn't even notice.
Maybe at that time, he had already thought of such an ending, so when Xu Rong made her the queen, he asked him to say in person that as long as the queen did not make a big mistake, she would definitely not abolish the queen.
Her father tried his best to protect her, but in the end, she died in the cold palace and ended up in a bleak end.
The chess pieces in her hand did not fall for a long time, and her hands were trembling slightly.
"Concubine Xi, what's wrong with you? Obviously let me talk about the past, why did you sigh first? Shangguan Wenci said softly.
"It's okay, it's just that I think of the fact that I haven't seen this great river and mountain for so many years, and I'm a little disappointed." Chu Lianruo provoked the topic by herself, but she didn't expect that she recalled the past. She dropped the child in her hand like a nobody.
"At this moment, deep in the palace, I'm afraid it's hard to have a chance, but it doesn't hurt for me to talk to you." Shangguan Wenci seemed to feel the loss in Chu Lianruo's words, and he didn't feel that anything was wrong, so he opened up the topic.
"Speaking of which, I haven't been to many places, but there are a lot of interesting things in this martial arts, why don't I tell you a few, and you have the right to listen to interesting jokes."
"You can say whatever you want, and I will listen to it casually, it's much better than my two women in the boudoir who don't hear anything outside the window." Chu Lianruo was originally just a casual topic, but now she really has a few interests.
"If you want to say that in this martial arts, there is such a saying, a dark pavilion can't be provoked, a bright pavilion can't be seen, and the three pavilions embroidered clouds will collect the wealth. Of course, this is the first sentence in that ballad, and there are many more to come, but I can't remember it clearly, so I'll pick it up for you and say what I remember. ”
If Chu Lian continued to fall, she raised her hand and motioned for Shangguan Wenci to continue. Then he said, "You said that this dark pavilion can't provoke the embroidery cloud pavilion to collect money, I can still understand it, but what does this Ming Pavilion mean?" ”
"You asked the point, I also couldn't understand this, and then I met ......" Shangguan Wenci's hand paused, and said, "Later, I met a person, and he told me that this Ming Pavilion has been continued since a hundred years ago, and he wanted to destroy it when the first emperor was still there, but I don't know when it happened later, this Ming Pavilion disappeared overnight, and was never found by others again." ”
"Oh? So amazing? Chu Lianruo asked curiously as if she hadn't noticed Shangguan Wenci's inadvertent pause just now.
Shangguan Wenci shook his head, "Whether it's magical or not, everything is just a disguise made by people, but I don't want the rivers and lakes that I have worked so hard to build disappear like this, after all, this Ming Pavilion is just mentioning the name, and those who know it naturally dare not be hostile to it, and those who don't know are just some reckless people in the rivers and lakes." ”
"So, do you think Ming Pavilion is still there, but it's hidden!" Chu Lianruo's words were actually equivalent to affirmation.
Shangguan Wenci nodded in agreement with Chu Lianruo's statement, "It must have been hidden, hey, don't talk about this, let's talk about the Xiuyun Pavilion that everyone in the capital knows about!" ”
She quickly took the topic away, Chu Lianruo had no opinion, she was just a storyteller, as long as it was a story, any story could be, and there was no need to stare at one to get to the bottom of it.
"The embroidery workers of the Embroidery Cloud Pavilion are unique in the world, so there are rumors in the market that thousands of silk threads dance in the sky and embroider the clouds covering the floor."
"So powerful?" Although Chu Lianruo knew about such a place as Xiuyun Pavilion, she had never been there by herself, when she was the queen, her clothes were all made by special people, and every time it was complicated embroidery, she was tired of reading it. Now as Chu Lianruo, she didn't have the opportunity to go to the Embroidery Cloud Pavilion to take a look.
"You don't know?" Now it was Shangguan Wenci's turn to be surprised.
Chu Lianruo shook her head, and the Zi'er in her hand directly wiped out all the chess pieces in her small world.
"The concubines in this palace are probably the only ones who have such a duty as you." After that, Shangguan Wenci didn't know what he meant and sighed.
After that, he still explained to Chu Lianruo slowly, "This embroidered cloud pavilion is also doing business in our palace, every banquet, there will be a lot of embroidered cloud pavilion clothes, each one is not the same, and it can be tailored and embroidered according to your requirements, and there are many clothes produced by the embroidered cloud pavilion there in the jade concubine." ”
"I told you a little bit of interest, I don't know if I can borrow two clothes from Yu Guifei to see the embroidery on them." Chu Lianruo bent the corners of her lips and said half-jokingly.
The clothes that Shi Yuyin used to wear were indeed different every time, and they used to think that they were clothes lined by people, but they were simply carefully dressed up, and the clothes were lined by people.
"Why do you need to borrow it from Concubine Yu."
"What do you mean by that?" Chu Lianruo looked at her and raised her eyebrows and asked.
"Naturally, I didn't, it's still early to enter the palace, and I haven't had time to prepare the corresponding clothes." Shangguan Wenci shook his head with a smile. "Just let the palace people go on a trip and buy two clothes and come back."
Although Chu Lianruo was curious, she would not send her people out because of curiosity in order to go to the Embroidery Cloud Pavilion to buy two clothes.
"I'm just curious, I'll definitely be able to see it at the Qiu Ju banquet." When Chu Lianruo said this, she seemed quite sure that they would definitely be able to unravel the poison of the Seven Days.
Shangguan Wenci stared at Chu Lianruo, but inadvertently, the chessboard was already full of losses. "Concubine Wen, you need to concentrate when playing chess." Chu Lianruo's words were meaningful.
She believed that she was as smart as Shangguan Wenci must understand, and sure enough, seeing a smile on the corner of her mouth, she slowly nodded towards Chu Lianruo.
The atmosphere here is just right, but there is chaos in the palace of the concubine.
Originally, Concubine Shu was already awake, but because of that trouble, it increased the burden on her body, and although she re-took the medicine that night, she was actually depressed and did not eliminate it at all.
"How long has Concubine Shu been like this?" When Chu Jingxuan reached out to buy it, he found that the beating of several veins on her body was so terrifying that he was frightened.
"I woke up once the day before yesterday, and my mother got up for a trip, and then fainted again." Of course, Cuixuan won't tell the truth, but just pick and choose what he can say, and it won't be a lie.
Chu Jingxuan took a deep look at Cuixuan Cuiluo, she turned out the Yanyu needle, and inserted it on several acupoints of Concubine Shu through her dress, but with a cup of tea, the jade needle began to gradually turn transparent, and Concubine Shu's face gradually became ruddy.
When he took them off one by one, he re-examined the pulse, and the frequency of the veins beating in Shufei had returned to normal.
"Don't irritate her." Chu Jingxuan prescribed a prescription to ask Cuixuan to go to the Tai Hospital to get medicine, and said to Cuiluo. "Her pulse is very confused, it is clearly a state of fainting in anger after being stimulated, although I don't know what is going on, but as a healer, I need to warn her."
Cui Luo immediately thanked, "Thank you Imperial Doctor Chu for your warning, we don't care what's going on!" ”
Chu Jingxuan is just conscientious, although Concubine Shu is seriously injured, but she can't die, there are so many good medicines to support, and recovery is only a matter of time, he just warned this, but he was thinking about whether he could get something out of this Cuiluo's mouth, and he didn't want this Cuiluo to be vigilant, and nothing was revealed.
"In that case, I'll go back first, and the emperor will go there again." Chu Jingxuan felt that he was also very busy, just now Gonggong Li came to him and said that there was something wrong, but now, this hospital is like a fictitious one, and he is worried about Chu Lianruo, and he wants to come to consult this concubine, and then he was dragged away by Gonggong Li, and he was really tired.
Gonggong Li stood in the corridor waiting for him, and as soon as he saw him come out at this moment, he immediately opened his umbrella.
"Gonggong Li, I'm waiting here in such a hurry, but the emperor has something?" He didn't refuse, but went directly under the umbrella and into the rain.
When Chu Jingxuan first saw him, he thought that Xu Rong had called him over, but he saw that he did not lead him to the path of the imperial study or Longxiang Palace.
"Imperial Doctor Chu, there is nothing to do with the emperor, you just need to make this Xiyan Palace and Concubine Shufei Palace safe now." Gonggong Li said with a smile, and there was no anxiety in his eyes.
"The Concubine Hall is fine, just a few patches of medicine are enough, but I really can't do anything in Xiyan Palace, just waiting for someone to unveil the emperor's list." Chu Jingxuan squinted, listened to the sound of rain constantly hitting the oil-paper umbrella, and sighed.
"Hey, Imperial Doctor Chu, who did you say poisoned?" Gonggong Li also sighed a little on the side, he felt very sorry for the master in Xiyan Palace, he had been in the palace for so many years, and he had never seen anyone, but he really hadn't seen someone like Chu Lianruo, so he could easily get the love of the Queen Mother, Xu Rong's like, and at the same time arouse the jealousy of so many people.
Openly and secretly, as an old man in this palace, he had long known that something would happen, but he didn't expect it to come so suddenly, so unprepared, and the movement caused so much, this is simply going to wipe out the four concubines.
Gonggong Li's eyes flickered, although he was sure that such a thing must be done by someone in the harem who was unwilling to be lonely, or some people who worked together, but he couldn't find any clues.
It was as shrewd as Xiao Feng Shizi who wandered around for a whole day yesterday, and he went to check all the places in the palace, and even specially led Qin Sang, the maid of the Jade Guifei, to walk around the outside of each palace, probably to use her to find out something, but in the end he put people back.
Therefore, this long-planned conspiracy must have been planned by Zhou Xiang, and this plan was to make sure that the investigators could not see any traces.
"Gonggong Li, naturally I don't know, I don't even have some conjectures, but can you tell me where the end of this road is?" Chu Jingxuan only felt that this road was more and more wrong, if he remembered correctly, if he continued like this, he should be out of the palace, so who did this Gonggong Li let him treat?
"Well, look at my memory, you should have heard about an uninvited guest in Xiyan Palace last night, right?"
"Huh?" Chu Jingxuan looked at Gonggong Li suspiciously. "An uninvited guest at the Xiyan Palace? How did such a thing happen? He really didn't know this, the matter about Shangguan Wenjing was ordered by Xu Rong not to say it, so it was originally something that very few people knew, and naturally these very few people didn't open their mouths to spread it.
"Oh, by the way, I forgot that this matter has been ordered by the emperor, and it is not allowed to mention more, you don't have to ask again, in short, this uninvited guest is an old acquaintance with the emperor, but he dared to break in, this punishment still has to be there, isn't it going to be imprisoned in the dungeon!"
Gonggong Li only came to his senses at this time, not so many people can know about this, that is, he has been with Xu Rong for so many years and can't find out who Shangguan Wenjing is? What kind of things are you doing for Xu Rong in the dark?
"Now that you're in a dungeon, what do you want me to do?" Chu Jingxuan knew that this matter must not be simple, but he also knew that even if Gonggong Li, as a person close to the emperor, knew something, he would not reveal it to him, so he didn't dwell on it, and asked a more normal question.
"Last night, that person was injured, even if the dungeon was instructed, but it was difficult to rely on his body's self-healing ability, besides, the emperor only gave him a small punishment, but he didn't think about putting him to death!" Gonggong Li thought about it, such a question can still be answered.
"You said that person and the emperor actually knew each other, why did you break into Xiyan Palace, presumably going directly to the imperial study probably wouldn't make the emperor angry, right?" Chu Jingxuan asked without a trace.
Gonggong Li was silent for a while and did not answer.
Chu Jingxuan immediately said: "Gonggong Li doesn't have to be embarrassed, I just asked casually, if it's a secret matter, I still don't know." He arched his hand while looking at Gonggong Li's expression.
"It's not that I can't say it, Imperial Doctor Chu is so trusted by the emperor now, it doesn't matter if you tell you about this, after all, you can't tell what else you can see when you go to the cell."
After listening to Chu Jingxuan's words, Gonggong Li's initial silence dissipated instantly, and he smiled, "That person is Concubine Wen's elder brother, it is estimated that he saw the emperor's list, and he also learned the news of Concubine Wen's poisoning through some channels, so he will break into Xiyan Palace at night, but he doesn't want to be the emperor's Praetorian Guard after all, and he was discovered before he could successfully see Concubine Wen......" After that, he picked it up and said something.
"That's how this wound came about." What they didn't know was that Shangguan Wenjing was already injured, and that injury had already been suffered before entering the palace, which was also the reason why Qingqing and the Praetorian Guards were able to capture him so easily, although there was also a deliberate element in it.
Chu Jingxuan nodded with his eyes narrowed, didn't ask anything anymore, and just followed Gonggong Li.
At this moment, there was also a turmoil outside the palace, Xiao Feng did not enter the palace this morning, and everyone wondered why this prince, who had received the emperor's investigation order, did not enter the palace so late When he was fighting with the people in his own medicine garden.
Fortunately, yesterday Xu Yang felt that there might be danger and asked Xieyang to follow him, otherwise he might not be able to set foot in this medicine garden today.
Xiao Feng's face at this time was as gloomy as the dark clouds in the sky, and the face of the slanting sun didn't have to be much better than him, the clothes on his left arm were torn, and there was a trace of blood oozing out, whether it was their robes or hair, they were all wet by the rain at this time, sticky and sticky wrapped around their bodies, and even dripping water, all of which proved that they had been here for a long time.
The two of them were back to back, protecting a pile of medicinal herbs beside them, which were the other medicinal herbs of Qirihong.
In front of them and behind them, there were more than a dozen corpses that had lost their lives, but even if the two of them had good strength, they couldn't withstand dozens or hundreds of people, and they didn't know what the people behind them were coming from, and they were able to bring out so many good hands?
Xiao Feng held a horizontal sword in his hand, stared at the leader, and asked coldly, "Who are you?" ”
"The one who wants your life." It's not the first time Xiao Feng has heard such words, but the people who can really kill him probably don't want him.
"What a big breath, you have lost so many people, do you think you can do whatever you want with the remaining dozens of people?"
"Hugh wants to talk nonsense." The leader seemed to see that Xiao Feng was deliberately delaying time, so the confrontation just now was only a moment, and the people around them attacked again.
Xieyang's eyes were calm, "Feng Shizi, you have already collected some of the herbs on your body yesterday night, haven't you?" This was Xiao Feng's idea on a whim last night, he was afraid that if they were negligent, the medicine garden here would be destroyed, so he collected some of it on his body first, and planned to bring it back first.
I don't understand what the slanting sun means, the people who came over again may be a little afraid because of their resistance, and they also know that they are not easy to provoke, so they cautiously probed over, after all, no one is not afraid of death, except for the dead, but these people are obviously not.
Therefore, Xiao Feng still had some time to look at the slanting sun suspiciously.
Xieyang lowered his voice, "Then you can implement the plan, you go first, and I will come to the back of the palace." ”
Xiao Feng's heart moved, plan? Turning to look at the slanting sun, a casual smile appeared on his face. He also laughed slowly, if he remembered correctly, Xiao Feng also collected some herbs last night, and then gave them directly to the person next to Feng Qing who suddenly entered the medicine garden, and it seemed that he heard Feng Qing call him Qingxu.
At that time, he was still thinking, this oblique yang is bold, so he is not afraid that the herbs will give Xu Yang's light enemy, which will make Xu Yang unhappy? He thought so, but he didn't stop the sunset's movements.
But he didn't think that this had been arranged a long time ago, but it was dark under the lights himself.
They had delayed for so long, and these people probably thought that they only had this part of the herbs here, and if they were destroyed, there would be no hope, so they didn't leave under pressure.
If you pretend to be incapable of the enemy, and then leave in embarrassment...... It's the most natural, but I'm afraid that the medicine garden here will be destroyed, and there will be no scum left.
However, there is nothing to be sad about, it's just a medicine garden, if it weren't for the Seven Days Red antidote herbs here, if it weren't for the fact that this antidote herb involved Chu Lianruo, or if it weren't for this Chu Lianruo is a woman recognized by Xu Yang, he wouldn't be too lazy to spend it with this group of people here?
Rolled his eyes, this idea is not bad, but what Xieyang means, did they expect that someone would come to destroy the medicine garden yesterday, so there was the arrival of Qingxu later?
But how could Xu Yang allow someone with a light wind to come and take the medicine away? He couldn't figure it out about this, but Xu Yang believed that he also had his own considerations for doing this, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, after all, Feng Qing was a third party, if he really used the power of the Dark Pavilion at this moment, he was afraid that he would show traces, wouldn't it be clear that Concubine Wen or Concubine Xi in the palace had a slight connection with their Dark Pavilion?
Now just that he Xiao Feng Shizi found this medicine garden and protected it, there is nothing wrong with saying it, after all, he is the concubine of the Dingguo Hou family, and there is nothing wrong with pretending to know this hidden medicine garden inadvertently.
After thinking about the things in between, Xiao Feng decisively agreed with Xieyang's opinion, "I'll withdraw first, but you asked the queen of the palace yourself, don't go to hell and say that I'm not righteous?" ”
The corners of Xieyang's mouth moved, and his eyes drifted to Xiao Feng, who was serious on his face, he wanted to ask, does the old man of Dingguohou know your appearance as a scoundrel?
