Chapter 63: Finding the Funeral Flowers
On the second day, when Jiang Heng came to see Zhou Sheng Cuobai, it was Xu Zhaohua who opened the door for him, Jiang Heng's first reaction at the moment when he saw Xu Zhaohua was to run away, he couldn't believe it, he thought it was his hallucination, and it wasn't until Xu Zhaohua and Zhou Sheng Cuobai jointly explained to him that he reacted.
Xu Zhaohua did not die is a happy thing for him, but seeing some differences in the atmosphere between Xu Zhaohua and Zhou Shengcuobai, he felt a little depressed in his heart for no reason.
Next, it's time to get down to business.
said before that Zhou Shengcuo came to congratulate him not only for his success, but also for disturbing the big end. In fact, the most favorite son of King Daduan was not Sui Chen at all, but the second son Sui Yue, and his trip was to win over Sui Yue. And Xu Zhaohua's purpose is the same.
Although Sui Chen now knows that his biggest hidden danger in Daduan is Sui Yue, he still has no reason to execute Sui Yue, so he can only keep him, which also gives Zhou Sheng Cuobai their opportunity, they found Sui Yue and proposed that they help Sui Yue regain the throne, Sui Yue gave them a deal to give Xue Yanhua, Sui Yue wanted the throne most at the moment, so he naturally agreed.
At the same time, Xu Zhaohua also told them that when they were in Eastern Qi, Sui Chen's spy was Xianyue, Xu Qingshan's former concubine, and Xianyue had been helping Zhou Shengchenmo and connecting Sui Chen and Zhou Shengchenmo.
And Xianyue, a person who is greedy for power, and uses power to plot against Xianyue, will make things smoother.
So, Zhou Sheng Cuobai let Xu Zhaohua rest, he walked around in this big palace, and really ran into Xianyue, at this time Xianyue did not live the life of her dreams, although Jinyi and Jade did not worry about eating and drinking, but she was not satisfied, what she wanted was power, and she wanted to trample all the people who once despised her under her feet.
Zhou Shengcuobai looked at Xianyue and thought: Sure enough, it was exactly what his wife guessed.
After that, Zhou Sheng Cuobai used this as bait to lure Xianyue into the trap step by step, and in this way, he rebelled against Xianyue.
Xianyue told them everything Sui Chen had done, and where the true inheritance would be hidden. Sui Yue and the party of the two princes who supported him made a plan, and with the true will they found, they pulled Sui Chen off the throne in one fell swoop.
Sui Chen's minority party was annihilated by Sui Yue in one fell swoop, but only Sui Chen was nowhere to be seen.
"Congratulations to the second prince." Jiang Heng congratulated Sui Yue, and then euphemistically proposed Xue Yanhua.
But Sui Yue said as if he didn't understand: "This prince still has to prepare for the enthronement ceremony, so I won't entertain you, you must come when the enthronement ceremony comes." And then it slipped away.
"He's ......" Jiang Heng looked at Sui Yue who ran away incredulously, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say.
"He wants to break the contract." Xu Zhaohua said lightly.
"What then?" Jiang Heng also knew that the most important thing for detoxification was Xue Yanhua, but now that Sui Yue was unwilling to give it, he was a little anxious and uneasy.
However, fortunately, Xu Zhaohua had to be on guard and had already found out the location of Xue Yanhua, and Jiang Heng volunteered to get it.
Next, Sui Yue was busy with the enthronement ceremony, and put Xue Yanhua in a place he thought was safe and didn't care anymore, so Jiang Heng took Xue Yanhua unknowingly.
After Zhou Sheng Cuobai attended the banquet after the enthronement ceremony, he hurried back to the Eastern Qi Kingdom overnight, in case Sui Yue woke up and found that Xue Yanhua was gone.
After returning to the Eastern Qi Kingdom, the first thing Xu Zhaohua did was to visit his mother Su Chengbi.
When everyone in Su Mansion saw Xu Zhaohua, their reaction was no less than Jiang Heng's, they all thought she was a ghost, and they were so frightened that they wanted to run.
"Crispy, you're not dead." Su Chengbi came back to her senses and was the joy of returning the pearl to Hepu.
Xu Zhaohua hadn't seen her mother for five years, she rushed up and hugged Su Chengbi tightly, and Su Chengbi also hugged her and came down with tears in her eyes.
Hearing that Xu Zhaohua was back, Qin Lu also hurried to Su Mansion, Qin Lu, who had heard that Xu Zhaohua had died, was also extremely sad, and now that he saw the complete Xu Zhaohua, he was only happy and happy.
Then, when Xu Zhaohua explained everything that happened to the two, Zhou Shengcuobai came.
"The emperor has arrived."
Several people hurriedly saluted to greet them, and as soon as Zhou Sheng Cuobai came in, he saw this scene, and he hurriedly stepped forward to help Su Chengbi up and said, "Get up." and then went to help Xu Zhaohua up.
Qin Lu keenly noticed that the atmosphere between Zhou Sheng Cuobai and Xu Zhaohua was different from before, she thought of what Xu Zhaohua had said that the person she liked was the emperor, and she also saw Zhou Shengcuobai's depression during the period after Xu Zhaohua's death, and now there is finally a lover who will finally become a family.
Taking advantage of the opportunity that Xu Zhaohua was going out to find medicine, they confessed everything to Su Chengbi and obtained Su Chengbi's consent.
After listening to everything, Qin Lu smiled slyly at Xu Zhaohua, and then, Qin Lu took Su Chengbi away with the reason that the emperor came to find Zhaohua's sister and didn't want to disturb the two, and Su Chengbi had no choice but to follow her.
"The Queen Mother is dead, and Zhou Shengchenmo is gone." Zhou Shengcuo said straight to the point.
Xu Zhaohua thought for a while and said, "It must be Sui Chen, it was he who rescued Zhou Shengchenmo."
"My fetal poison does have something to do with the Queen Mother, but she is dead now." Zhou Shengcuobai frowned and said, he hasn't taken revenge with his own hands, why did she die, it's too cheap for her. Xu Zhaohua felt the same way.
"The top priority now is to get rid of your fetal poison." Xu Zhaohua had a hunch that Zhou Shengchenmo must know about Zhou Shengcuobai's fetal poison, and he would definitely do something during Zhou Shengcuobai's poisoning, so they had to detoxify the fetus as soon as possible.
The next medicine is also not so easy to pick, it is a unique burial flower in Miao Jiang. So the two of them still need to rush to Miaojiang.
Now, Xu Zhaohua showed up, letting Su Chengbi know that she was not dead, and let those who were worried about her feel relieved. She followed Zhou Sheng Cuobai and left.
The court is still maintained by the prime minister, Taifu, and Jiang Heng.
Zhou Shengcuobai rushed to Miaojiang with Xu Zhaohua. When they first entered Miao Jiang, the two of them were brought to the Lord of Miao Jiang, Miao Jiang, non-people are not allowed to trespass.
"Who are you?" The Lord of Miao Jiang asked lazily.
"Passers-by." Zhou Sheng Cuobai did not reveal his true identity.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect the dignified Emperor of the Eastern Qi Kingdom to disguise himself as a passer-by in front of the master." The Lord of Miao Jiang did not hesitate to point out Zhou Shengcuobai's identity.
This made the people of Miao Jiang surprised, how could the emperor of the Eastern Qi Kingdom come here, this person can't be provoked.
With this sentence, Zhou Shengcuobai knew that the lord of Miao Jiang was probably related to Sui Chen and Zhou Shengchenmo.
"Take our guests to their rooms to rest." The lord of Miao Jiang ordered his subordinates to take Zhou Sheng Cuobai and Xu Zhaohua to the room.
Miao Rui, the lord of Miao Jiang, instructed two sturdy young men and took them to a wooden house.
"Two distinguished guests, don't walk around in this Miao Jiang, otherwise we will not be able to explain if we are poisoned." One of the youths reminded.
"Thank you." Xu Zhaohua nodded in thanks.
The two young men glanced at Xu Zhaohua a few more times when they left, Zhou Shengcuo glanced at them with cold eyes, and they suddenly felt a piercing chill rise behind them, and they were so frightened that they quickly ran away.
Xu Zhaohua didn't notice the little thing that happened behind him, looked at the wooden house and said, "This wooden house has just been built. ”
"Not bad." Zhou Shengcuobai replied. Then, be the first to push open the door and enter.
It was very basic, with a bed, a table, a teapot, a few cups, and a few chairs.
"I've really wronged you." After Zhou Shengcuobai saw his full appearance, he sighed and said to Xu Zhaohua.
Xu Zhaohua said in a slightly relaxed tone: "This is already very good, at least you don't have to sleep in the open." ”
Xu Zhaohua went to put up the closed window on the side, and when he looked out of the window, he could see the fields planted by the Miao Jiang people not far away.
As soon as she turned her head, she saw that Zhou Shengcuobai had poured water and was about to drink it, but she immediately opened her mouth to stop it: "Wait a minute." ”
Zhou Shengcuobai stopped and looked at her suspiciously.
Xu Zhaohua felt that he might be a little suspicious, but what should be done was still to be done.
She stepped forward and tested the water with a silver needle, and made sure that it was not poisonous before letting Zhou Shengcuo drink it in vain.
Zhou Sheng Cuobai looked at her movements with a smile, and his heart was unprecedentedly warm, except for his subordinates, no one cared about him so much.
Xu Zhaohua was a little embarrassed by him, and his face was slightly red and explained: "It's better to be cautious when you go out." ”
Zhou Shengcuobai put down the teacup, leaned lazily on Xu Zhaohua's shoulder and said, "For the husband, I know that the lady is for the good of the husband." ”
This coquettish tone made Xu Zhaohua a little helpless, since the two of them explained their hearts to each other that time, he changed his name without authorization, and hugged her at every turn, what a fresh and handsome son he was in his previous life.
And Zhou Shengcuobai can finally hug the woman she wants openly, and she will not refuse herself anymore, so she feels that she can't hug enough.
"Childe."
Just when Zhou Shengcuobai was still enjoying it, he was disturbed by Song, and Zhou Shengcuobai looked at Song standing at the window with displeasure.
Song knew that he had disturbed his son, so he didn't dare to look at Zhou Shengcuobai, and secretly scolded Cheng Lan and Qingbai in his heart.
When Xu Zhaohua heard Song's voice coming from behind, he immediately pushed Zhou Shengcuo Bai away, and his face instantly turned red.
"What's the matter?" Zhou Shengcuo, who was pushed away, was full of impatience in his tone.
"Back to Gongzi, most of the houses here are the same, it will take a while to find people, and Miao Rui has sent people to monitor in the dark." Song still didn't dare to look up.
"Keep looking, Miao Rui, don't worry about him." After Zhou Sheng Cuobai finished speaking, Song didn't need to say that he would disappear automatically.
"How many people did you bring with you this time?" Xu Zhaohua suppressed the blush on his face and pretended to ask nothing.
"Pine, bamboo, cypress, and orchid, there are too many people to act." Zhou Shengcuobai explained.
Xu Zhaohua nodded and said, "Looking at Miao Rui's appearance, Sui Chen and Zhou Shengchenmo are probably also here." ”
"Nothing." Zhou Shengcuobai knew what Xu Zhaohua was worried about, and comforted her and said, "With you, I'm not afraid." As he spoke, he unconsciously leaned towards Xu Zhaohua again.
Xu Zhaohua didn't want to, but he couldn't resist him, so he left it to him, and it was regarded as making up for his previous life.
Miao Rui.
"Here they are." Miao Rui said respectfully to the two people in front of him.
These two people are Sui Chen and Zhou Shengchenmo who fled.
"How many people did he bring?" Zhou Shengchenmo asked with a chuckle, but there was a hint of gloom in his eyes.
Miao Rui replied truthfully: "He brought a woman, and the relationship between the two is very unusual." ”
"Woman?" Sui Chen raised his eyebrows and was puzzled, and asked in his heart: "What does it look like?" ”
Miao Rui described Xu Zhaohua's voice and smile.
After hearing this, Sui Chen was so shocked that even the teacup in his hand fell to the ground, and he asked in disbelief, "She's not dead?" ”
Even Zhou Shengchen Mo couldn't believe it, after all, Xu Zhaohua jumped off the cliff back then, and Zhou Shengcuobai ordered someone to search for a long time and didn't see the bones.
The two glanced at each other, Zhou Shengcuobai was not easy to deal with, but now Xu Zhaohua has come out again, she has ruined many of their plans before, this time I am afraid that it will ......
"Master Miao, where are the burial flowers?" Zhou Shengchenmo finally asked straight to the point after hiding it for so long. Before she died, the Queen Mother told Zhou Shengchenmo everything, including the antidote to Zhou Shengcuo's white fetal poison, so he appeared in Miaojiang.
"This ......" Miao Rui looked embarrassed.
"Something to say." Sui Chen naturally saw his embarrassment, but after all, this was related to their plan, and he still had to ask.
For Sui Chen, Miao Rui was still relatively obedient, so he told them about Miao Jiang's current situation.
Miao Xinjiang is also divided into two factions, Northern Xinjiang and Southern Xinjiang, Northern Xinjiang is good at poisonous Gu, especially murderous Gu, and Southern Xinjiang is good at medical skills, specializing in solving Gu in Northern Xinjiang, originally the founder of Miao Jiang arranged this way in order to contain each other on both sides and advance and retreat together, but it is a pity that today's Northern Xinjiang has been continuously supported during Sui Chen's reign, and it has become a dominant family.
But there is not only one Miao master in Miaojiang, but also a Miaojiang saint with the same rights as him. This woman should not be underestimated, the funeral flower is the holy flower of Miaojiang, and it is naturally kept by the saint, but the saint is from southern Xinjiang, and now the two sides are fighting against each other, and it is impossible to come back.
"In this way, once Zhou Sheng Cuobai and they find the Holy Maiden, they will be able to get the funeral flowers." Zhou Shengchenmo was a little worried after hearing this.
But Miao Rui was not worried at all, and even laughed out loud and said: "Your Highness, please rest assured, they can't find the Holy Maiden, and when Your Highness came, the owner had already taken down the funeral flowers." ”
Zhou Shengchen Mo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's fine." ”
"Maybe we can design it this way." Sui Chen slowly showed a dangerous smile.
Zhou Shengchenmo immediately understood what he meant. The three of them discussed the plan in secret.
Soon, night came.
"Distinguished guest, Master Miao, please come to our party tonight." Miao Rui sent someone to invite Zhou Shengcuobai and Xu Zhaohua.
Zhou Sheng Cuobai and Xu Zhaohua glanced at each other, nodded and went with him.
When they arrived at the place, it turned out that they caught up with the Miao people's autumn festival, which is a festival for Miao youth to sing and dance to find a partner, and also a festival to celebrate the harvest.
In the huge meadow clearing, young men and women danced around the bonfire, and the atmosphere was very lively.
"Your Highness has arrived." Miao Rui's face was full of smiles and came over to say.
Zhou Shengcuo nodded lightly, and Xu Zhaohua kept looking at the group of men and women dancing happily. If it weren't for the funeral flowers this time, it would be good for her to experience this kind of terroir and nostalgia with Zhou Shengcuobai.
"Your Highness is free to do whatever you want, there is no need to be restrained here." As soon as Miao Rui's words fell, Zhou Shengcuobai ignored him and pulled Xu Zhaohua to the bonfire, she had been watching him just now, but she didn't ignore it, not only to take things, but also to play well.
Miao Rui looked at their backs and showed a sneer.
When Xu Zhaohua and the others walked over, it was already young men and women singing love songs to each other. They used the Miao language, Xu Zhaohua couldn't understand it, but the tunes were very lingering.
Zhou Shengcuobai bent down and said in Xu Zhaohua's ear: "This is a man proposing to a woman." "Zhou Shengcuobai can understand Miao language.
In the end, in the midst of the coaxing of the crowd, men and women hugged each other. Xu Zhaohua knew that this was a successful marriage proposal.
Suddenly, a clear and bright voice came from next to Xu Zhaohua singing Miao songs, and everyone's eyes were immediately attracted.
Xu Zhaohua turned his head in a daze, the person in front of him was starlight, only looking at her.
After Zhou Shengcuobai finished singing it with a clear and bright voice, he translated it in a deep and tactful voice, this is indeed a love song, but after it was sung by Zhou Shengcuobai, it was more like a low thought, lingering with ears and temples.
Xu Zhaohua blushed when she heard this, but she kept looking at Zhou Shengcuo. She felt that she shouldn't run away anymore, not only did Zhou Shengcuobai love her, she also loved Zhou Shengcuobai, and she loved it from the previous life.
"There are all kinds of stunning colors in this world, and you are my Zhaohua alone." After the song, Zhou Shengcuo Bai said.
"I crossed life and death, only for you." Xu Zhaohua also said.
After listening to her words, a huge smile suddenly appeared on Zhou Shengcuo's white face, pulled her back into his arms, and hugged her tightly. Maybe he was still suffering from gains and losses before, thinking that she didn't love her.
But now after listening to her words, he realized that he was not in love, and she had already answered.
Everyone didn't hear what the two of them said later, but when they saw the two hugging each other, they naturally succeeded, so the atmosphere became lively again.
As soon as Zhou Shengcuobai let go of Xu Zhaohua, an enthusiastic Miao woman came over and took Xu Zhaohua away to dance together.
Zhou Shengcuo Bai just wanted to stop him, but the Miao men also pulled him away to dance opposite the women.
Zhou Shengcuobai was a little worried about Xu Zhaohua, afraid that she would not be able to stand the enthusiasm of the Miao people, because in his heart, Xu Zhaohua has always been gentle and steady.
However, he saw the joy of Xu Zhaohua, who couldn't dance Miao dance, smiling and learning from the people next to him.
Then, the two sides danced. Xu Zhaohua looked at it with joy and curiosity, and Zhou Shengcuobai's eyes kept looking at Xu Zhaohua.
When Xu Zhaohua was watching, he noticed a figure, she was mixed in the crowd, and it was not easy for people to notice.
She's leaving. Xu Zhaohua slowly detached from there and followed the woman. Zhou Sheng Cuobai, who had been watching her, also followed her.
Away from the fiery light, to a place where there was silence and only the soft moonlight, the woman stopped.
"I don't know what you mean by following me." She said.
"We're looking for you, Holy Maiden." Xu Zhaohua said straight to the point.
Zhou Shengcuo raised his eyebrows, his crispy family should not know what the holy woman looks like.
"This girl, I'm really embarrassed, I'm not the saint in your mouth, you are with the wrong person." She retorted.
"Huh." Xu Zhaohua chuckled and said: "You can not be a saint, but you are from southern Xinjiang, are you willing to watch the people of southern Xinjiang being driven to death little by little by the people of northern Xinjiang?" ”
In the darkness, the hand of the saint clenched tightly.
"Don't you want to save them?" Xu Zhaohua said softly. Such a light tone, as soon as the wind blew, it dispersed.
"Heh, how to save it? Now I can't even save myself. The saint laughed at herself.
Xu Zhaohua slowly stepped forward and said in a confident and affirmative tone: "We have a way, as long as you believe in us." ”
Now that she has lost the Holy Flower, the Holy Maiden who is still on the run is at the end of her rope, and tonight is just taking advantage of the Autumn Festival, after the defense of Northern Xinjiang is weak, she brought people over to steal some food to maintain the survival of the people of Southern Xinjiang who have not been captured.
She wanted to seize the chance, but she was also wary.
"You're not going to help me for no reason, what do you want?"
"Funeral flowers, I need it to save my life."
The saint was silent for a while, Xu Zhaohua's heart was hanging, in fact, she could take it by force, but that would inevitably offend people, in case the saint returned to power in the future, then it would be unfavorable for Zhou Shengcuobai, and if the saint cooperated with them, the benefits outweighed the disadvantages both now and in the future.
"Okay." The saint made a decision.
Miao Rui.
"How's it going?" Sui Chen is still the same as the handsome son, even after experiencing the escape.
"Childe, don't worry, everything is under control, my people deliberately relaxed and let the holy woman come in, at this moment, they should already be plotting." Miao Rui said with a treacherous smile.
Zhou Shengchenmo has been silent, the previous cooperation with Sui Chen was a thread drawn by Xianyue, and now that he has reached this point, he is actually unwilling to be crowned a traitor, but he has no way out.
Zhou Sheng Cuobai and Xu Zhaohua were born for a few days, and they went to play every day, looking at the scenery here, and having a meal at that house, it seemed that they came to understand the customs and customs, and they were very leisurely.
When Miao Rui, a happy Miao person, was really impatient to do it, Zhou Shengchenmo made him calm down, he knew Zhou Shengcuobai, this set must let Zhou Shengcuobai drill by himself, once he was exposed, then he was given a chance to escape.
After Miao Rui heard this, he frowned. These Central Plains people like to make calculations around the bush, but when they think about it, if it weren't for these calculations, he would not have sat in the position of the lord of the Miao Frontier.
Sui Chen is a suspicious character, although Zhou Shengcuo clearly brought Xu Zhaohua alone, but he is the emperor, and there may not be many people in the dark, and although Miao Rui is supported by him, he does not trust him very much.
Although Zhou Shengcuobai and Xu Zhaohua are playing these days, they are actually investigating and saving people.
Now that they have found the hiding place of the burial flowers, they have decided to act immediately and quickly evacuate.
Zhou Sheng Cuobai and Xu Zhaohua were both dressed in night clothes and marched in the dark, and only the Miao lord and the holy woman could enter the forbidden land of the Miao people. In the forbidden land, there are many poisonous snakes and centipedes, as well as deadly Gu, and sometimes some poisonous smoke or something.
Fortunately, there is Xu Zhaohua, although there are some troubles, but in the end it is solved.
Until finally, when the two of them approached the high platform under the ancient tree, one of them did not notice, stepped on the trap, and was caught in the net and hung high.
The three of them silently walked out from behind the tree.
Sui Chen kept looking at Xu Zhaohua for a long time before saying, "It turns out that you really didn't die." "He watched her jump with his own eyes, and the chances of surviving were slim to the slightest with such a high cliff.
