Chapter Thirty-Nine: My Father Sold Me

"Master, people miss you. For more up-to-date chapters, visit: ะจะฉะฉ.(7)(9)XS.ัะžะœ. โ€

The master smiled so warmly at me, I felt that the water in the hot springs in the Qiwang Mansion was not as comfortable as the master's smile.

"Silly girl, the master naturally misses you too. As soon as I entered Beijing, I went to the Qiwang Mansion to look for you, and I happened to meet the Qiwang at the entrance of the 'gate'. โ€

Liang Ci has returned home? I thought that when I returned home, I heard that I was announced to the palace, so I hurriedly came to rescue me with my master.

"Thanks to the master for coming in time, otherwise you wouldn't have seen the apprentice." I pouted and said aggrievedly.

The master patted me on the back as a comfort, then turned his head and smiled at the Queen Mother and the Emperor.

"Shioyue, it turns out that it's really you." The Queen Mother said calmly, not surprised at all, obviously knew that the master was still in the world.

The master nodded: "After more than 20 years, my sister is okay?" โ€

"Okay? What's so bad, glory and wealth, supreme power, who else in the world can be better than me? The Queen Mother's face was arrogant, but it was obviously a little disobedient.

The master didn't say anything, turned his head to look at the emperor, and made a gesture of 'wanting' to worship. The emperor hurriedly stepped forward and helped the master up, his eyes steaming, obviously showing his true feelings.

"Auntie, you are so bitter that you hide it from Chang'an."

The master still smiled warmly, did not speak, only raised his hand to 'touch' and 'touch' the emperor's shoulder, just like a loving mother gazing at her beloved child: "I often hear the people in the market praise the emperor for his wisdom and benevolence, diligence and proximity to the people, and my aunt is very pleased and honored." โ€

"Auntie, you have always called me Chang'an, have you forgotten?" The emperor stubbornly corrected.

The aunt smiled with great satisfaction: "You will always be my aunt's Chang'an, how can you forget?" โ€

The eyes are also 'waves' and tears.

Seeing that the aunt and the emperor looked at each other silently, so harmonious, the queen mother stood quietly on one side. There was obviously some loneliness on his face. I suddenly felt inexplicably that the Queen Mother was actually not happy at all, and I had never seen the emperor and Liang Ci be so intimate when facing her. They have always been separated by an invisible barrier, just like the two ends of Cishi, the two sides are repulsed and cannot get close, the emperor is like this, and the cold words are even more so.

The emperor held his aunt's hand, and it could be seen that it was very 'excited', and even the bone joints were a little pale. The aunt patted the back of his hand: "It's not too late for us to catch up later, I'll go and see her body first." โ€

Qingqing obviously shrank for a moment, as if she was a little jealous of the master, and glanced at the queen mother as if she asked for help.

The Queen Mother did not stop her this time, but instead comforted Qingqing in a low voice: "Aunt Xiyue, she has superb medical skills, and the whole Chang'an is second to none, let her show you." โ€

After saying that, the master walked over, squatted down, put his fingertips on Qingqing's 'jade' wrist, frowned slightly, and was silent for a long time.

"Xiyue, what happened to Zijin? Will the child still be saved? The Queen Mother asked with concern.

The master let go of Qingqing's wrist and smiled kindly at her: "Your name is Qingqing, right?" Is it Qingwu's sister? โ€

Qingqing nodded, her eyes were still full of tears, and she looked ignorant, innocent and innocent.

"This is your dormitory, right?"

Qingqing said softly: "The emperor took pity on me for being pregnant, and specially gave me to live here." โ€

"Do you like chrysanthemum flowers?" The master suddenly asked, and I was puzzled.

Qingqing shook her head in a panic and nodded: "I, I heard that the emperor likes Tao Yuanming's poems, so I ordered my subordinates to put these chrysanthemum 'flowers' in the palace." โ€

Is there really something wrong with these chrysanthemum 'flowers'? I remembered the abnormal reaction of the Gu worm in my arms when I first entered here, and carefully looked at the chrysanthemum 'flowers' in the courtyard again, and I really couldn't guess the mystery.

"Concubine Jinniang really has a heart, but it is the culprit that caused your miscarriage." The master said indifferently, but with undoubted certainty.

"How so?" Qingqing said aggrievedly: "I specially asked the imperial doctor, and I know that oleander, grass musk, and nightshade are all 'flowers' and 'women' that can't be smelled, so I pay attention to the palace people, and they are all cleaned up." The imperial doctor said that this chrysanthemum 'flower' can clear the liver and eyes, and there is no harm to pregnant women. โ€

"Qingwu, pick the chrysanthemum 'flower' of the red 'color' and 'flower' stamen, peel off the 'flower' stamen, and see if there is anything inside." The master told me, "Be careful, don't get bitten by it." โ€

I walked to the chrysanthemum 'flowers' in confusion, although these chrysanthemum 'flowers' were in season, blooming unbridled and enchanting, but the 'flower' petals did not bloom all, layer upon layer, tightly wrapped the 'flower' stamens. Carefully selected, through the golden or snow-white 'flower' petals, sure enough, I saw that some of the chrysanthemum 'flowers' and 'flowers' in them were showing abnormal blood red 'color'. Squatting down and peeling it off with my fingertips, a blood-red 'colored' flying insect suddenly flew out of the 'flower' stamen, startling me and almost falling to the ground.

I picked another one, and carefully picked it with a branch, and sure enough, there was one in it, and it was strangely grown, some like large mosquitoes, with a slender needle on the top of its head, and its body was long, and its wings were densely covered with strange curved lines, like human blood vessels, revealing weirdness.

"Master, what kind of bug is this, why is it so weird?" I threw away the branch in my hand, clapped my hands and asked.

When the people in the yard saw insects flying out of the 'flower' stamen, they all looked at the master with some curiosity.

With a slight hint of sarcasm and understanding on the corner of the master's lips, he turned his head to Qingqing and explained: "There is nothing wrong with this chrysanthemum 'flower' itself, but the insects in this chrysanthemum 'flower' are born by sucking human blood, and at the same time, sucking blood will also discharge a powerful toxin into the human body, which makes people panic 'chaotic', and in severe cases, it will cause human nervous insanity 'disorder', and it can affect the growth of the fetus in the womb." This is the real reason for the miscarriage of Concubine Jin. It's not that the young woman in vain didn't save her when she saw death, but even if Hua Tuo was alive, she was helpless. Concubine Niangniang, do you think what I said is right? โ€

Qingqing's body was shocked, obviously a little flustered, covered his face with his sleeve, lowered his eyes, and whispered 'sobbing' for a long time before saying: "I have indeed seen this kind of insect twice, and I have been bitten on my arm more than once, I originally thought it was a mosquito from where, but I didn't care, who knew it would be so serious." It's because I'm too ignorant and shallow, and I don't even know that I hurt the fetus in my womb. โ€

The Queen Mother was a little incredulous: "This is the courtyard of the deep palace, how can there be such insects?" Shioduke, it's just a coincidence, right? โ€

The master stood up: "I also feel a little strange, this kind of Gu worm is really rare in my Chang'an Dynasty, and I have only seen it in the past few months. As for why it appeared in the deep courtyard of the harem, I can't explain it. โ€

"What kind of minion is this who is so careless that he brings such a thing to the palace? Guo Gonggong, immediately 'handed' over to the next generation, and thoroughly investigate the matter. The emperor frowned, and ordered unhappily: "Since Aunt Xiyue has found out the specific reason, today's mess will be stopped." Come on, take Concubine Niangniang back to recuperate. โ€

The palace people who were waiting hurriedly did what they said, the queen mother was speechless, and Qingqing could only cry with regret and cry.

The master turned around and said coldly: "Lord Qi, please send your sister-in-law back to the house first, I still have something to say to the queen mother and the emperor." โ€

Coldly, without speaking, he took my hand and dragged me out of the palace without saying anything. I was reluctant, turned back after three steps, and finally got impatient, packed me, and threw me into the carriage at the entrance of the palace 'gate'.

"I want to wait for the master here." I stubbornly slammed the car door.

"Go back to the house and wait, don't stay here and distract your master." Liang Ci took me into his arms and instructed Mu Lin: "Go home." โ€

His palms were wet and sticky, a little abnormal.

"How can your palms be wet?" I was distracted from the wrist of the cool speech, and he laughed at it away.

"You're addicted to medical treatment, isn't it, fuss. I was just a little excited and nervous to see my aunt. Liang Ci's face was a little shy, which is really rare.

I looked at him strangely and asked puzzledly, "I naturally 'excited' when I saw the master, but what are you happy about?" โ€

Liang Ci smiled evilly: "I have always wanted your master to be our main marriage, and now I am looking forward to the stars and the moon, and I finally hope for her." Now that the main marriage is there, the matchmaker is there, and the deed of sale is also there, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, do you say I'm happy? โ€

"Phew, you haven't even asked for my opinion." I said shyly.

"Wait, what's the deed of sale?" I sensitively felt that something was wrong: "Whose deed of sale?" โ€

Liang Ci held back his smile and didn't speak, and his smile was 'insidious'.

I suddenly remembered that when I was in Yangzhou City, my father and eldest brother couldn't wait to sign the paperwork, and I suddenly had a bad premonition in my heart, turned over and rode Liangci under my body, and asked menacingly: "Could it be that my father sold me?" โ€

Liang Ci finally couldn't help laughing: "Actually, it's not a sale, because Master Su didn't collect money at all, he just gave it away for nothing." โ€

"Ahh I'll kill you! Gu Liangci! I screamed, shaking my shoulders desperately.

Liang Ci laughed breathlessly, struggling left and right: "Don't, spare your life!" โ€

"Ahem, Miss Eleven, it's broad daylight, on the street." Mu Lin outside the car said in a muffled voice: "Bear with me for the time being." โ€

"your!" I was so angry that I couldn't say anything.

"It's none of my business, but it's about my master's clean reputation." Mu Lin said leisurely: "Our carriage is a bit eye-catching. โ€

"Who dares to ......" I snorted and lifted the curtain, petrified instantly, and the scolding stopped abruptly.

The street was silent, and both pedestrians and vendors stopped their movements or shouted, turned their heads, and stared at our carriage with dumbfounded eyes, and saw that I lifted the curtain, and the things in my hands crackled and fell to the ground.

I lowered my head, I was still riding on Liang Ci, my hair was unkempt, and I maintained an extremely fierce posture.

Can there be a little more shame? This piece of wood is definitely intentional!

I lowered the curtain and yelled hatefully, "Hurry up and go home!" โ€
