Chapter 217: Poisoned Wine
Seeing that the Queen Mother didn't believe in herself, Shen Du hurriedly waved her hand and said: "No, there is nothing, Weichen's loyalty to the Queen Mother can be learned, the Queen Mother, this should really be a gift from the King of Medicine, as long as Mama Bai puts this Gu worm in the steamer and steam it for an hour, this Gu worm will die, and then the Queen Mother will take it with red dates, and the medicinal effect will naturally be there." ”
Probably because Shen Duan's serious expression deceived the Queen Mother, or maybe the Queen Mother really wanted to maintain her beauty, she glanced at the disgusting insects that were still swimming in the water bowl suspiciously, swallowed her saliva, and said in disbelief: "Really? ”
Shen Du hurriedly knelt in front of the Queen Mother: "If Weichen dares to deceive the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother can correct Weichen on the spot, this is really the prescription passed by the King of Medicine, there is an apprentice of the King of Medicine living in the Weichen Mansion, if the Queen Mother doesn't believe it, next time I will bring someone over to the Queen Mother to take a look." ”
"Besides, if the Queen Mother is young, Weichen is also happy, but if something happens to the Queen Mother, what benefit can Weichen get?"
Saying that, Shen Du turned his eyes to look at Mama Bai: "Mama Bai watched Weichen bring this worm, if something happens to the Queen Mother, will Weichen still be able to escape?" ”
seemed to agree with Shen Dui's words, Mama Bai glanced at the insect with some suspicion, and then turned her eyes to the Queen Mother and said, "Or, Queen Mother, you try?" ”
The Queen Mother has always trusted Mama Bai, who grew up with her since she was a child, and when she saw Mama Bai open her mouth at this moment, she swallowed her saliva and said: "Then try it, you go and kill this worm first, if something really happened to the mourning family......"
She glanced sideways at Shen Dui: "If something really happens to the mourning family, you won't be able to live." ”
Shen Du smiled absently and said, "Yes, what the Queen Mother said is that the Queen Mother can only taste one bite first, and if there is anything unusual, stop immediately." ”
"Oh yes." Shen Du lowered his eyes slightly, "This prescription was originally to be eaten for seven seven hundred and forty-nine days in a row, Wei Chen made one more, this can also be rewarded to Bai Mama first, if Bai Mama is fine, the Queen Mother can eat seven hundred and forty-nine days in a row, it is said that it can rejuvenate and rejuvenate." ”
As soon as she heard about the rejuvenation, the Queen Mother frowned and glanced at the old face reflected on the water bowl, thinking about the Zhuqing medicine I don't know what's going on, the effect of the medicine gradually faded, a few days ago the young appearance can still be maintained for a day or two, but today I just drank the medicine, but in an hour, it has returned to such an old state.
The Queen Mother suspected that Chu Nian said something, so Zhu Qing began to make medicine well, and now if the worm sent by Shen Duan is really useful......
Then there is no need for Zhuqing's elixir, and at that time, there is no need to be restrained by Chu Nian......
In an instant, the Queen Mother divided the front and back, but the bug was still a little scary, the Queen Mother pretended to be calm and sat down on the Taishi chair, and turned her eyes to look at Mama Bai: "Mama Bai, you have been with me for most of your life, and you have ...... for your hard work."
Seeing the Queen Mother's natural appearance, Mama Bai looked at the insects in the box without tears for a long time, then picked up the bowl and said tremblingly: "Then, thank you for the Queen Mother's grace." ”
After speaking, she trembled while carrying the tea bowl down, along the way, because of the restless insect that always wanted to crawl out of the bowl, Bai Mama's body staggered more and more, and almost knocked over the bowl several times.
The queen mother said in a low voice: "You slow down, be careful that bug escapes!" ”
These words made Mama Bai's body shake again, and she was able to stabilize her figure, and then she responded in a low voice: "Yes...... Thank you for the grace of the Empress Dowager! ”
Shen Dui sat on the spot and looked at the funny appearance of the master and servant calmly, and saw Mama Bai leaving with her things, so Shen Dui got up and said, "Then Weichen will not disturb the Queen Mother's rest......"
"Wait." The Queen Mother suddenly raised her head and looked at Shen Dui: "The mourning family still has something to discuss with you, how did you discuss this march on the barbarian side?" Why hasn't the town been defeated for so long? Isn't he without food and grass? ”
Shen Du frowned: "The person Weichen contacted is the barbarian general, and the general himself is also from the Central Plains, but he fled because he had fled in addition to some things before, and he was still good at talking, and he was proficient in military law, no matter how brave and good the town was, it should not be impossible to defeat him." ”
As he spoke, he paced back and forth in the hall, and after a while, he raised his head and said, "Queen Mother, could it be that we have given too little benefit to the barbarians?" ”
The queen mother at the top suddenly threw the table, completely forgetting the horror in her eyes when she saw the worm: "How much more do he want?" Even if it's to weaken the prince's strength, it's still our Da Liang's elite soldiers! ”
Shen Du hurriedly got up and bent over, and his movements were done in one go: "The Queen Mother is angry, and Weichen will negotiate again." ”
Seeing this, the Queen Mother snorted coldly before she stopped, and turned her eyes to look at the teacup in her hand, "By the way, the mourning family hasn't settled accounts with you yet, about the Wang family...... Do you know that after you reconciled with the Wang family, the Wang family washed his face with tears all day long? I see that you Shen Du think that the daughter of our Wang family is easy to bully? ”
Speaking of the Wang family, Shen Dui's face suddenly froze, and after a while, he showed a look of annoyance, lowered his head and said: "It's Weichen who is confused, but later Weichen went to Wang's house to ask his beloved wife to come back, and his father-in-law didn't let Weichen enter the house." ”
Seeing that Shen Duan's eyes were annoyed and didn't seem to be fake, the Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction: "If you marry the Wang family back again, will you treat it well?" The mourning family watched the child grow up, and the child's heart mourning family knew that if she suffered any more grievances from you, the mourning family would never make you feel better. ”
Shen Du nodded and said, "At that time, Weichen was blinded by lard, so he ...... If she can forgive Weichen, Weichen will be treated as a good student. ”
For the Shen family, the current state of loneliness and dust has lasted too long, if they can't get the help of the Wang family and the queen mother, I'm afraid that the Shen family will soon be unable to support it, if the Gu worm is down now, the queen mother is already in their pocket, if they can marry back to the Wang family, then the thigh of the Wang family, the Shen family will naturally be able to climb again......
Shen Dui's eyes flashed slightly, and the abacus in his heart crackled, but he didn't want to, the Queen Mother also had her own purpose to help like this...... This is still a matter for the time being.
At this point, it seemed that she was very pleased with Shen Dui's sincerity, and the Queen Mother nodded slowly: "However, if you want to marry Chu Nian back, it's not impossible to ......."
The Queen Mother looked at Shen Dui meaningfully, Shen Dui was stunned by the Queen Mother's words, and then saw the Queen Mother and said: "Isn't it just raw rice cooked and matured, the mourning family doesn't believe it, so what kind of storm can Chu Nian set off." ”
Hearing this, Shen Du's face suddenly turned happy: "The Queen Mother means ......"
"Later, if Mama Bai is okay, you can enter the palace again tomorrow." The Queen Mother waved her hand slowly: "And look at the means of the mourning family, a little Chu Nian, really think that the mourning family can't cure you?" ”
Seeing this, Shen Du hurriedly stepped forward and knelt in front of the Queen Mother: "Thank you Queen Mother!" ”
The Queen Mother smiled, but she had other thoughts in her heart, if Chu Nian married Shen Dui, then in the future, she and Prince Ming Xiu, I am afraid that there will be no alliance at all, if you want to blame, you will blame it, and you will not do ordinary cooperation with these young people...... Can a strategy mixed with emotions still be called a successful strategy?
……
In the early morning of the next day, Chu Nian was recruited into the palace by the Queen Mother, and when he entered the palace, seeing the Queen Mother's kind and smiling face, Chu Nian once thought that he had a delusion.
I saw a huge table in the Cining Palace, and a table of wine and food was set up on the table, and between the wine and food, the Queen Mother was sitting on the main seat, smiling and cute.
"Nian'er, you finally know that you are here to visit the mourning family."
Looking at the Queen Mother's smiling appearance, Chu Nian half-lowered her eyes: "Why is the Queen Mother so expensive?" Could it be that Zhen Yuanhou won the battle? ”
This is a blatant mockery, of course the Queen Mother can hear Chu Nian's words, you and I both know things, who will you show this sanctimonious look?
Seeing the meaningful smile on the corner of Chu Nian's mouth, the Queen Mother was so angry that the roots of her teeth itched, but she still put on a kind posture and said: "You girl, you are just here to accompany the imperial grandmother to have wine, as for the affairs of the court?" Listen to the persuasion of the mourning family, those political affairs of the previous dynasty will be handed over to their men, and we women will take care of the pleasure, come, taste this braised pork, specially prepared by the mourning family's imperial dining room, you look at your thin girl. ”
The Queen Mother pulled Chu Nian's wrist and clenched it, pulling Chu Nian's body to her side, and when Mama Bai filled in the dishes and chopsticks, the Queen Mother put the fat meat flowing with chopsticks into Chu Nian's bowl: "Come, taste, in winter, if there is too little meat on your body, you can't keep out the cold." ”
Chu Nian raised his eyebrows, the meaning of the Queen Mother's words was also obvious, so many confrontations, Chu Nian also knew the Queen Mother very well, and the Queen Mother's words were obviously warning that their wings were not full enough.
is to smile lightly and send the braised pork with chopsticks to his mouth: "Thank you to the Queen Mother for preparing such a sumptuous table of dishes for the courtiers, but unfortunately, the courtiers have already eaten enough, I am afraid that the Queen Mother will waste all her hard work." ”
I took all the meat you fed me, and I was already full...... Chu Nian smiled lightly and couldn't reach the bottom of his eyes, but it made the Queen Mother suddenly cold, and after a while, the Queen Mother smiled and said: "Then you have to eat more, it is better to be a dead ghost than a starving ghost." ”
Saying this, she turned her head to look at Mama Bai again: "Mama Bai, go and bring up the cold winter brewed by the mourning family herself." ”
Chu Nian raised his eyebrows, then saw the Queen Mother turn around, held Chu Nian's hand, and enthusiastically explained: "Nian'er, this is the wine made by the mourning family in the spring, there is just such a pot, this has been spared for two whole seasons, and it is just right to drink it at this time." ”
Hearing this, Chu Nian half-lowered his eyes and said with gratitude: "It is really a blessing for the courtiers to be able to drink the wine brewed by the Queen Mother's own hands. ”
The Queen Mother glanced at her and didn't speak, at this time, Mama Bai had already brought up a jade wine jug, and carefully placed it between the Queen Mother and Chu Nian, turned around and poured a glass for the Queen Mother, and immediately looked at Chu Nian.
"Lord Wushuang, the old slave pours wine for you......"
Chu Nian's eyes widened as he watched Mama Bai's subordinates gently turn on the lid of the wine jug for a moment, then pretended not to see it and said, "Thank you Mama Bai." ”
It was the first time for Mama Bai to smile so flatteringly, and she diligently poured Chu Nian a good wine, and then she stepped back.
I saw the Queen Mother lift the wine glass and said: "Come, Nian'er, the mourning family does not deliberately oppose you and Ming Xiu on weekdays, but the queen's last wish......"
