Chapter 216: Under the Gu

When she heard the news that Concubine Chen was beaten to death by the Queen Mother, Chu Nian was sitting in the house drinking tea indifferently, and in winter, Mother Zhu not only made a good soup for Chu Nian, but also burned a few extra pots of charcoal, although the house was choked a little, but it was warm after all.

Mei Xiang simply nestled on the edge of the charcoal basin, put her hands on the charcoal fire to roast her hands, Chu Nian sat aside and drank tea indifferently, seeing her grinning teeth and still refusing to give up when she was burned near the fire, she couldn't help but chuckle.

"You've been poisoned by carbon."

Mei Xiang pouted and said, "It's really too cold in winter, lady, you say, how much charcoal did the old lady send to Xiao Chen's this year?" ”

Last year, Xiao Chen's nested in that small and deserted house, and the old lady didn't care about her, I heard that that winter, Xiao Chen's was so cold that he shivered in the house.

Chu Nianqian laughed: "You still have the heart to care about others." ”

"Yes." Mei Xiang snorted coldly: "Now her fate is all self-inflicted, self-inflicted, she can't live." ”

"Who taught you that?" Chu Nian looked at Mei Xiang with great interest.

"Of course it's the third brother!" Mei Xiang said angrily: "The third brother understands everything, but it's amazing!" ”

Seeing Mei Xiang's adoring appearance, Chu Nian couldn't help but think of Dark San's unreliable appearance, smiled, and shook his head helplessly: "That stinky boy, you can be a baby with her." ”

At this stall, Dark San was walking in from outside the door, and when he heard the conversation between the master and servant, he couldn't help but blush, and then he walked in and said, "Lady, that's because you know too much, so I didn't play a big knife in front of Guan Gong." ”

Mei Xiang stepped forward, "Third brother! You're back! ”

Seeing Mei Xiang, Dark San accepted the appearance of the hippie smile, and scratched his head shyly, um.

Mei Xiang turned around and went out diligently: "I'll go and ask you for a soup woman to warm your hands." ”

Chu Nian looked at Mei Xiang's back helplessly, and glanced at Dark San with disgust: "What kind of means did you use to break this girl away from the side of the charcoal basin?" No matter how much I tried to persuade her, she refused to leave the charcoal basin. ”

Dark San smiled, rubbed his hands embarrassedly, and saw Chu Nian push the unused tea cup in front of him: "Pour some warm tea yourself to warm up." ”

Hearing this, Dark San was not polite, sat down beside Chu Nian with a big thorn, then took the teacup and drank it all, his body warmed up a little, and then said, "Lady, there is movement over there." ”

As soon as he mentioned the matter, Chu Niancai frowned sideways and looked at Dark San: "What movement?" ”

Dark San rubbed his slightly warmed hands, this cold and snowy, he could stand on the beam of the Shen family all night.

"Shen Du asked Wu Liang to help and give the Queen Mother a trick."

Chu Nian raised his eyebrows and gave the Queen Mother a Gu? Shen Dui can think of it.

"Hey, lady, don't underestimate Wu Liang, I've seen Wu Liang give Gu to a dog in Shen Dusk's yard, and the dog is obedient, saying that he can do whatever he wants, and even Wu Liang tells it to go into the oil pot, and it can do it."

Speaking of Xing, Dark San wiped his mouth: "That pot of fried dog meat, that smell ......"

Chu Nian glared at him, and said curiously: "Shen Duan wants to use this method to control the Queen Mother?" ”

The dark three fingers rubbed the stubble on the chin for a while before saying, "It seems that this is indeed the case, but Wu Liang said that if you want him to do it, you will have to wait at least seventy-seven and forty-nine days before you can develop a Gu that can control people's thoughts." ”

Hearing this, Chu Nian frowned, turned his gaze to the charcoal fire, picked up the teacup in his hand, and took a sip.

After a while, she got up and turned her eyes to Dark Three: "Go and send a letter to Dark Rin, and tell him about Shen Dui's plan one by one, and don't leave a single detail behind." ”

Dark San looked at Chu Nian with some curiosity: "Why did you send him a letter?" He's tried to frame you again and again. ”

Chu Nian's eyes flashed slightly, "I don't care if Wu Liang really helps Shen Dui, but if the Queen Mother is really controlled by Shen Dui, it will be too late......"

Because of her feelings, she can't do anything to Wu Liang, but what if Wu Liang really gets it, she will help Shen Dui? This is not impossible, after all, when they met for the first time, Wu Liang had always had the intention of destroying the Great Liang Imperial Court, if Shen Duan really gave him this opportunity to control the entire imperial court with Gu poison, Chu Nian did not dare to guarantee that Wu Liang would not seize this opportunity to take revenge.

"I don't think so," Li Le's voice came from the door, Chu Nian and Dark San looked up together, and saw Mei Xiang pushing Li Le's wheelchair with a reluctant face.

"My junior brother is not that kind of person, he has other plans."

Before Chu Nian could speak, the dark three on the side couldn't hold back a smile: "Medicine...... Yaoxian, do you still need to heat up this winter? ”

Li Le glared at the dark three who were demolishing the stage fiercely, angrily put away the folding fan in his hand, raised his head, and looked at Chu Nian quite arrogantly: "Don't say that the rules of our Medicine King Mountain are to ask my junior brother to really help Shen Duan do something that hurts the heavens and reason, and my junior brother can't let go of that dignity to listen to Shen Dui's orders." ”

Chu Nian looked at Li Le with flickering eyes: "What do you mean by this?" Wu Liang won't help Shen Dui? Then why did he promise to raise Gu for the Queen Mother? ”

Hearing this, Li Le smiled and said, "Didn't you just give that poison to my junior brother?" ”

After coming back last time, Chu Nian had a long talk with Li Le all night, explaining the cause and effect before and after, and Li Le had already made it clear about the details of Wu Liang's cooperation with Shen Duan.

Including that she did not persuade Wu Liang to return to the Chu family, but just handed over the poison powder prepared by Li Le to Wu Liang, and left it all up to Wu Liang to choose.

Li Le expressed his appreciation for Chu Nian's style, saying that if he changed him, he would do the same.

But it seems that he is more convinced that his junior brother is not that kind of person.

"It's true to raise Gu for the Queen Mother, but what kind of Gu can you raise for the Queen Mother......" Li Le smiled meaningfully: "I don't know." ”

Chu Nian raised his eyebrows, and then listened to Li Le continue: "There are three kinds of Gu, poison Gu, love Gu, and there are puppet Gu that can call people, poisonous Gu can cause death, love Gu can control people's emotions, as for puppet Gu, I don't need to say it." ”

Seeing that Chu Nian's face was slightly gloomy and uncertain, Shen Duan chuckled again: "You say, if my junior brother simply gives the Queen Mother and Shen Dui a love trick...... It's easy, right? ”

Chu Nian suddenly realized, now the Queen Mother always summons the guards into Cining Palace, and the matter of staying overnight has already spread in the harem, which is the sequelae left by Concubine Chen who has to die with the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother's reputation is stinky, but she really takes people to catch it, and she can't catch the person who has an adultery with the Queen Mother, in contrast, if the person who has an adultery with the Queen Mother is Shen Duan, the ending will be very different......

Chu Nian smiled slightly: "This is a good idea, although it is not a decent practice, but it ...... Soldiers don't get tired of deceit. ”

Li Le raised his head and looked at Chu Nian with a pair of clear and watery eyes, a trace of appreciation flashed in his eyes, and between the two eyes, everything was silent.

"Do you still need to talk to Darkrin then?" Li Le opened the folding fan again and fanned the wind on his chest, and the heat of the charcoal fire was fanned away by him, which was quite a bit of a charm that required grace rather than temperature.

Chu Nian glanced sideways at Dark San; "Then there is no need, just inform His Royal Highness the Prince, but if your junior brother really does something for Shen Dui, what should you do?"

"No, we grew up together, and I know him best ...... person."

"You haven't seen each other for three years, and when we meet again, he didn't listen to you and almost poisoned me." Chu Nian raised his eyebrows, looked at Li Le with suspicion, and saw Li Le's disdainful expression.

"Is that done? Have you been poisoned? ”

Chu Nian frowned, did not speak, but there was a faint uneasiness in her heart, she looked up, but there was already snow outside the window.

I heard Mei Xiang say a little excitedly: "Wow, it's finally snowing!" ”

Chu Nian turned his eyes to look at Li Le: "I believe you can, but ......"

Her eyes darkened slightly: "If he really aids in the abuse, I won't leave you any more affection." ”

Hearing this, Li Le also had a serious face: "I am willing to vouch for it with my head, my junior brother is definitely not a person who does such a thing." ”

……

The next day, in the palace, Cining Palace.

The snow drifted all night, and the entire palace was covered in silver, and a few palace people outside swept the floor with ice and snow, and saw Shen Du hurriedly enter the courtyard of Cining Palace through the back door.

A little boy in a Taoist robe not far away saw it, and hurriedly stepped on the snowflakes and turned away.

Entering Cining Palace, Shen Du was introduced into the inner hall by Mama Bai, and in the inner hall, the Queen Mother was sitting on a chair and drinking tea indifferently.

Shen Du looked at the Queen Mother, her face was gloomy for a moment, and she carefully lifted the food box in her hand: "Queen Mother, this is the nourishing and nourishing thing that Weichen brought to you, although there is everything in the palace, but this is what Weichen collected from Jiangnan, and now it is nine cold days, and the skin is easy to dry and tight, this thing is said to have a good hydration effect, and it can make people's skin moist......"

"Don't be poor." The Queen Mother glanced at Shen Dui, "Take it to the mourning family to see, the mourning family wants to know if there is anything else that can nourish my old face that has long been full of wrinkles." ”

A flash of brilliance flashed in Shen Dui's eyes, and she saw Mama Bai take a few steps forward and take out the food box in Shen Dui's hand.

At this stall, the Queen Mother had already taken the food box, carefully opened the lid, and suddenly turned pale with fright, covered her chest and said, "Shen Dui, what is this?" Is this a bug? ”

Mama Bai saw that the Queen Mother was out of shape, and immediately stepped forward to support the Queen Mother, and glanced at the food box by the way, this glance didn't matter, Mama Bai was also startled, she pulled the Queen Mother's stumbling figure and took a step back: "Bold Shen Dusk, you dare to murder the Queen Mother?" ”

In the food box, there was a porcelain bowl, and in the porcelain bowl, it was full of liquid, and in the liquid, there was a chubby bug.

The worm was the length of a thumb, black, with a pair of small eyes looking around, its tentacles exposed to the air, and quickly withdrawing it, as if it was testing the world.

Beneath it was an innumerable number of legs, wriggling in the water at the moment, as if trying to crawl out, and the two narrow whiskers on its head looked like mouths, from which bubbles were spitting from time to time.

Facing Mama Bai's accusation, Shen Du smiled and said, "Queen Mother, Mama Bai, this is not an ordinary worm, this is a worm that can be refined by the dignified Medicine King himself, and it can nourish the skin." ”

The Queen Mother looked at the strange-shaped insect in disbelief: "Beauty? I think you're trying to kill the mourners! ”
