Chapter 40: A Strange Soup
I went home in a huff, and slammed the door in annoyance, until the master came back and knocked on the door of my room, but the anger was still not subsided, and he gave him a vicious look, and ignored him.
The master looked at me with some amusement: "What's the matter, who bullied you?" You can tie a little stubborn donkey to your mouth. ”
I pouted, sullen: "I want to stay and wait for the master." ”
The master smiled kindly and kindly, as before: "My sister has always been domineering, and her spleen is elusive and unpredictable, and the master is afraid that you will stay and cause trouble, so he asked Lord Qi to bring you back." Could it be that you still play with others to play a child's temper? There is no such thing as a lady at all. ”
I hung my master's neck and played tricks: "After entering Beijing, the first time others saw me, they all said that I was very similar to the master, so when you were young, you can imagine what it looked like, and you must not be a virtuous and gentle quiet daughter, you still make fun of me?" ”
"What do you mean by this, what kind of master there is, what kind of apprentice, I am fifty steps and a hundred steps." The master scratched my nose affectionately and teased with a smile.
I stretched my face over and rubbed it like a kitten: "Anyway, this time the master enters Beijing, I said that I won't let you go back to Yunwu Mountain, you have to stay with me." ”
"Could it be that you will marry someone in the future and the master will follow you to marry?" The master glanced at the silent cold words on the side, and said funny.
"If the master is willing to stay, he can't ask for it." Liang Ci saw the stitches 'inserted' the needle, and immediately replied, a little impatient.
"Don't be sentimental, okay? Who said they were going to marry you? "I flew over with a fierce eye knife, and my cheeks were red first.
The master pursed his lips and smiled: "I have heard a lot of legends about your deeds along the way, and the people have praised you a lot, and my sister-in-law has finally grown up." ”
I remembered the embarrassment in today's market, and I didn't know if there were rumors that reached the master's ears, so I quickly changed the topic: "Master, what is the name of the flying insect in the Duxiu Palace today, how can it cause people to have a miscarriage, and how can the disciples never hear of it?" ”
The master's face was a condensation, especially serious: "Qingqing's miscarriage is not the cause of that kind of flying insect at all. ”
"Huh?" Liang Ciji and I were both taken aback: "What's the reason for that?" ”
"If my expectations are correct, Qingqing should have taken some 'medicine' that caused miscarriage in advance and deliberately planted it for Qingqing. But we don't have any evidence at all, so we can't exonerate Qingwu. Thanks to Qing's lack of consultation with her, I was able to take the opportunity to expose her Gu worms, and in order to blackmail her, Qingqing had to admit that she was injured by the flying insects. ”
"Gu worms? No wonder as soon as I entered the Duxiu Palace, the Gu worm in my arms was stupid and 'wanted', and I was extremely restless. I once pretended to tidy up my clothes and leaned over to look at those chrysanthemums, but I didn't find any clues. "It dawned on me.
"Yes, that kind of Gu worm is called 'Poisonous Heart', firstly, because they like to suck 'flower' pollen, and most of them live alone in the poisonous 'flower' heart. The second reason is that this kind of Gu worm has the effect of 'confusing' and 'confusing' people's minds.
Chrysanthemum 'flowers' are tightly wrapped and good at concealing because the 'flowers' are tightly wrapped, so they are poisoned by Qingqing and used to breed Gu insects. Su Qingqing saw that I knew everything about this, and she was afraid that I would expose her in public, so she admitted that she was injured by flying insects against her will. The master patiently explained.
"But how?" I said in surprise: "Qingqing is pregnant with a dragon fetus, once she gives birth to a prince, her mother is precious by virtue of her son, and it can be said that she will rely on her for life." How could she destroy her future and kill her own flesh and blood with her own hands in order to frame me? ”
"There are only two reasons, one is that she hates you so much, and the other is that you have become a great threat to her, and there is a possibility that her 'life' will not be saved. That's why she didn't hesitate to kill a thousand enemies and self-destruct eight hundred. Liang Ci analyzed.
The master nodded: "Lord Qi is reasonable, if I didn't happen to enter Beijing today, according to my sister's nervousness about Su Qingqing, Qingwen is afraid that her life is in danger now." ”
"Humph! I think the Queen Mother was 'confused' and 'confused' by Su Qingqing, so she obeyed her words, looked at me horizontally and vertically, and tossed me again and again, endlessly. I grunted.
"It must be that you don't know how to write and don't read sages, so you are disgusted by your mother-in-law, right?" The master's face darkened, and then he smiled helplessly: "When my sister was young, she was rich in poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she was also a well-known elegant character. Your every move is definitely not as good as Su Qingqing's eyes. ”
In front of the cold words, I was belittled by the master like this, and I felt extremely faceless, I wrinkled my nose and muttered: "I am naturally not as likable as Qingqing, make a soup for the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is like a baby, gobbling up, Sven sweeping the floor." ”
The master was taken aback when he heard this, and grabbed my hand: "Sister-in-law, what did you say?" ”
I was a little puzzled by the master's reaction: "When I entered the palace for the first time, I saw Qingqing making soup for the Queen Mother. ”
The master seemed to be a little incredulous: "What does that soup taste like?" ”
I carefully recalled: "The aroma was very peculiar, different from the aroma of 'meat' that aroused people's appetite like the soup we usually drink, but, I don't know how to describe it, it was a little strange anyway." ”
The master looked solemn and patted my hand: "Don't worry, Qingwu, you tell me about how many times you met the Queen Mother, especially what changes have the Queen Mother had recently?" ”
I just remembered that I only cared about making love with the master, and hadn't served tea to the master, so I hurriedly pulled the master to sit down, and instructed Xia Chu and Xiaoxiang to serve tea to the master, fetch water, wash hands and clean face. The master is still a dusty servant, and he should follow Liang Ci into the palace non-stop as soon as he returns to Beijing, and he will have time to wash up in the future.
The master was so anxious that he didn't care about it, so he just urged me to hurry up. I told the master carefully about the ins and outs, and I didn't miss a word.
The master was silent for a long time, and then raised his head and asked Liang Ci: "Has my sister's spleen changed recently?" ”
Liang Ci almost didn't think about it, and blurted out: "The queen mother is the queen mother of a country, and she is very dignified and dignified, and she is almost unhappy and angry." But in recent times, his temper has been capricious, sometimes good and sometimes bad, and he is extremely stubborn, and he can't listen to our words. Auntie, isn't there something wrong? ”
The master nodded: "I'm not sure yet, but I have some suspicions, and I need to enter the palace again tomorrow to verify." If my prediction is correct, my sister should have been poisoned by someone, and it was refined from the kind of Gu worm you saw today, plus mandala and other poisonous 'medicines'.
Its main poisonous 'sex' is that it can make people hallucinate, and then be hypnotized and psychologically suggested by the person who is under the trick, which can achieve the purpose of 'manipulating' people's mind. The Queen Mother often dreamed of butterflies during that time, which should be the reason. ”
I always thought that dancing and attracting butterflies at my imperial banquet, and the Queen Mother's initial dislike for me was all planned by Lan Ying'er, but now it seems that Lan Ying'er should have colluded with Su Qingqing a long time ago!
It turns out that Qingqing's calculations for me have never stopped! It's just the hand of someone else.
"Then can this Gu poison be cured?" Liang Ci asked with concern.
"If you want to '' and control a person's mind, you can achieve such an effect just by using poison, but this person has added Gu worms, I am afraid that there is a Gu mother who is '' and controlled by her, so it will be a little troublesome. If the mother Gu is not removed, it will be difficult to solve the troubles, and it will become worse. ”
"Then how can you tell if there is a female Gu?"
The master sighed: "Although I have benefited a lot in Miaojiang this time, after all, the time is still short and my knowledge is limited. Qingwu, has there been a 'girl' from Miao Jiang who has come to look for you? ”
"Isn't it a cute and cute, quaint 'fairy' girl, called a seedling worm." I asked.
The master was overjoyed when he heard this: "It turns out that she has already come, so it's easy to say." She is the 'daughter' of the first elder of Miao Jiang, and she has been passed down by the Gu King of Miao Jiang, she is the best candidate for the next Gu King of Miao Jiang, and she must have a way to use Gu magic in one hand. ”
Liang Ci and I looked at each other and said with some embarrassment: "It's a pity that we lost her and couldn't find her." ”
"Can't find it?" The master was a little surprised: "What the hell is going on?" ”
I didn't dare to hide it, and immediately explained how I met the insect by chance, how I became suspicious of her, and how she got in touch with the crazy stone, left in a huff, and told the master and the plate.
The master was a little surprised and 'excited' when he heard this: "Candle Dragon Order, Qing Wu, what you are talking about is that Miao Jiang can open the Candle Dragon Order of the Emperor of Ten Thousand Gu?" ”
I nodded, the master has been running in Miaojiang for a few months this time, and he must have heard of the Candle Dragon Order.
"It's just wonderful!" The master was quite excited: "I didn't expect that you have already found the Candle Dragon Order, so there is no need to worry about the poison of the tarsal bones of the Bodhi Sect." ”
Liang Ci and I were also overjoyed when they heard this: "What does the Candle Dragon Order have to do with this Gu poison?" ”
The master said excitedly: "I have trekked through mountains and rivers in Miaojiang this time, and I have searched everywhere, but I have not been able to find a cure for this Gu poison. I only heard that there is an Emperor of Ten Thousand Gu in Miao Jiang, and he is raised in the Ten Thousand Gu Pond, and he can call on all Gu worms in Miao Jiang. If there is it, not only will the poison of the tarsal bones be solved, but even the poison on the queen mother's body is not to be worried.
I had only heard that the Candle Dragon Order had disappeared for nearly twenty years, so I didn't have any hope. I only mentioned two sentences in the letter I brought to you, but I didn't expect to step on the iron shoes and find nowhere to go, and it didn't take much effort to get it. ”
"Is this why the seedlings deliberately damaged the letter you wrote to me? She didn't want me to know about the existence of the Candle Dragon Order. ”
The master groaned for a moment before he raised his head and said, "I don't know if she deliberately ruined the letter I wrote to you, and why she was so interested in the Candle Dragon Order, I only know that the insect's father has an old grudge against the Bodhi Sect, and the worm volunteered to come to Chang'an this time to help you eliminate the Bodhi Sect and avenge his father." ”
