The black bird fluttered its wings and flew over, and the feathers fell in front of Mu Ying's eyes, making her unable to see what was in front of her clearly, but in the next second, the beast that was still fierce before instantly lay down in front of her like a big cat and licked its paws.

Mu Ying was stunned, and saw a familiar face appear in front of her.

"I helped you, why did you want to kill my pet?" Sha Mu snorted lightly, and then glanced at Bailuo Bird, who was happily eating snakes: "Come back when you have eaten enough." ”

As if the bird could understand human speech, it chirped and flew back to her shoulder, and then she looked at Wei Ruyi.

Qing'er was already frightened, Wei Ruyi looked at the scars scratched by the bird's claws, took out the medicine powder from his sleeve and sprinkled it evenly to stop the bleeding, and then thanked Sha Mu, Chen Yansleeve also hurriedly ran over, and saw Sha Mu who was obviously coming towards Ruyi, and was a little more wary.

Shamu only smiled: "You're welcome, it's just that my birds just happen to be hungry." After speaking, he looked at the Yun clan with a gloomy face behind him: "Who is that, it seems to be very angry?" ”

Wei Ruyi: "Former stepmother." ”

"Oh......" Sha Mu looked like he understood, and said with a smile: "I also have a stepmother, who is better looking than her, and her heart is more poisonous." After speaking, he greeted his big white tiger: "Let you stay in the forest, how did you run out, what should you do if someone hurts you." ”

Mu Ying scratched her head in embarrassment, Old Lady Chen and Chen Ding had already rushed over.

"It's okay."

"It's okay, it's just that Qing'er fainted." After Wei Ruyi finished speaking, the head of the Yun family smiled and said, "There are so many poisons in the wild, you must be careful next time." ”

Wei Ruyi's eyes were cold, and he smiled coldly: "Thank you Yunxiang for reminding me." ”

"You're welcome, you and my daughter were also a family, and the family should support each other." Yun Xiang looked at her young age and was still so calm, and only felt that what her daughter said was really right, although this Wei Ruyi was young, her scheming was by no means simple.

If she was really behind these things, then he would definitely make her die ugly!

Old lady Chen saw Yuntao's unkindness, and stood up to Wei Ruyi, glaring at him coldly: "Qing'er is also frightened today, so let's leave first." By the way, the Chen family has not congratulated Yun Xiang on his return to the position of prime minister, and he will definitely prepare a big gift to send to the mansion when he returns. ”

Everyone knows that the reason why Yuntao came out was because his son, who was the prime minister, died, and now his grandson is also dead. Mrs. Chen also said that she wanted to congratulate him, that is, to expose his scars in person.

But that's what Old Man Chen thinks.

He turned his head and asked Chen Ding to escort a few people to the carriage, and then glanced at the Yun clan again: "Woman, woman, together it is a good word, back then, you were deceived by lust and ended up being suspended, and now I hope you will be more respectful, don't let your children and grandchildren be ashamed of you!" After speaking, he snorted coldly and turned his head away.

It's not the first time that the Yun family has been scolded by Old Man Chen, but this time it's in public.

She took a deep breath, suppressed the embarrassment that everyone cast at her, and gently glanced sideways at Sha Mu, who looked like a play, and smiled lightly: "I don't know if the girl is ......"

"He knows me." Sha Mu glanced at the head of the Yun family, touched his Bailuo bird with a smile, and then walked away.

She followed the trail of Wei Ruyi and Lou Yan today, but she didn't expect to be able to sell such a favor.

She was not afraid at all that the Yun family and Yun Tao stared at her and left, and the other people here didn't stay long, they got up and left, and after a while, there were only people from the Yun family left.

Yun straightened his back, only looked at the back of Wei Ruyi leaving, and said coldly: "Father saw it, she is so calm, it can be seen that her scheming is deep." Today's poisonous snake is just a small temptation, but it is a test of the Chen family's intentions to treat her, as well as the Sha Mu ...... just now."

"Sha Mu doesn't have to worry, she is from Fusang, and she will not have any contact with Wei Ruyi, but the Chen family. Wei Ruyi calculates my son, the Chen family must be a helper, since they don't let my Yun family have a good time, then don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless! Yun Tao snorted coldly, and immediately someone came over: "Xiangye, the Yu family has already begged the imperial doctor to go, what should Qiu Shi do?" ”

"Who invited the Imperial Doctor?"

"His Royal Highness King Rong."

"King Rong......" Yun Tao's face turned cold, he really didn't guess wrong, it was Qiu Shi who was instructed by King Rong to kill Hao'er.

When the Yun clan heard this, he followed: "Now if even King Rong is so ruthless and doesn't take my Yun family in his eyes, then who else can he rely on?" ”

Yun Tao's face was gloomy, he only glanced into the distance, and smiled coldly without making a sound.

The person he is looking for is the one who has the best hope of getting the throne!

After this false alarm, Wei Ruyi immediately went to Laifulou to find Xiaoyao.

Xiao Yao immediately said the news he had found: "After Yun Hao's death, the Yun family directly found out to Qiu Shi, but Qiu Shi didn't know what had happened in the past few days, he was very peaceful, and he didn't go out of the door, if he didn't go to the Yu family early this morning, he was afraid that he wouldn't go out." ”

"It was Qiu Shi who killed Yun Hao. But what does this have to do with us? "Erchun didn't understand why the head of the Yun family went directly to Wei Ruyi this morning.

"Yes, it stands to reason that King Rong behind Qiu Shi should be found." Xiao Yao also said.

Wei Ruyi thought carefully: "Xu is Yuntao knows that he can't deal with King Rong for the time being, or he doesn't want to set up such an enemy for himself for the time being, it should be that he plans to use it against me to divert King Rong's attention, and moreover, he really has murderous intentions towards me and the Chen family." ”

Xiao Yao listened and looked at her worriedly: "That young lady still doesn't want to go out recently." ”

"I know, I'll be careful. You made people watch the movements of the Yun Mansion carefully, especially the Yun Clan's. Yun Tao came to deal with me so hard, I am afraid that she was instigating behind her back. ”

Wei Ruyi commanded, Xiao Yao nodded, and said the news of Da Chun's back and forth early in the morning: "The two beggar brothers who were with Da Chun saw it, Princess Narui entered King Zhao's Mansion early in the morning, but she didn't come out after His Royal Highness King Zhao came out, but came out after a while, and then followed King Rui away." ”

Wei Ruyi frowned when he heard this, Fang Qiaoqiao was not a stupid person, could he just go to ease relations with the Meng family?

No, she just heard that Meng was grounded the day before yesterday, Fang Qiaoqiao wouldn't know, so what was she going to do? And King Rui is so cautious, he still comes along, I'm afraid it's not a trivial matter.

"Keep watching, and when Xue Wuxian returns, let him go and find out the news." Wei Ruyi said.

"Yes."

Xiao Yao responded, Wei Ruyi saw that it was not early, and then went to the private room of the Wisteria Garden.

The Chen family was settled, and after Chen Ding talked to Mrs. Chen for a while, he left alone. When Qing'er woke up, when she saw the dishes carefully prepared by Uncle Fang, and then looked at Wei Ruyi and the old lady who were accompanying her, her frightened heart also settled down, and after a while, she became ordinary and lively again.

After dinner, Laifu Building was very lively, and the street outside was brightly lit, and there were river lanterns everywhere ready to be put out.

Wei Ruyi wanted to look outside, but Old Lady Chen saw her thoughts, and only said, "Your uncle will come back and go out with you later." ”

Wei Ruyi's mind was guessed, and her little face turned red.

Chen Yansleeve couldn't laugh, and when he heard the excitement outside, it seemed that there were literati and scholars talking about poetry, and his mood slowly relaxed, playing with the teacup.

Old Lady Chen looked at them like this, smiled with satisfaction, and didn't say anything, just looked at the scenery.

But wait until the hustle and bustle outside becomes sparsely populated.

"It's not too early, let's go back first." Old Lady Chen put her arms around the sleepy Qing'er and proposed.

Wei Ruyi saw that Lou Yan didn't come to break his promise, first, he was worried, and secondly, he had some small emotions, so he only followed the carriage in a dull manner.

It was only when she got into the carriage that Chen Yansleeve glanced at Old Lady Chen, and raised her hand to knock her unconscious.

Seeing this, Qing'er sobered up: "Sister, she ......"

"It's fine." Chen Yansleeve glanced at Qing'er comfortingly, and then hugged Wei Ruyi, who had fainted, and frowned slightly.

She thought that Lou Yan loved Ruyi so much, and would never break her promise for no reason, but she was afraid that something had happened to the old lady.

At this time, in the other courtyard, King Ping and Jiang Yan hurried back from the imperial mausoleum, and when they came, they saw the emperor sitting by the old concubine's bed with a sad face, and the old concubine had fallen into a coma and had not woken up.

The old lady wiped her tears silently on the side, and after carefully checking the pulse on the side, her face darkened slightly.

Seeing him like this, the emperor was worried: "What's the matter? ”

Yuan Zheng knelt in front of him with a puff and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine has taken the wrong medicine and is poisoned!" ”

"Poisoned?" The emperor's face turned blue, and he immediately scolded: "Who is in charge of decocting the medicine and serving the medicine, bring it to me!" ”

After a while, Wuhui and Wukang were all brought up.

Wukang glanced at Yuanzheng, and had a spectrum in his heart, although he pretended to be panicked on his face, he was very stable in his heart.

Wuhui had never seen this battle, so he was brought up, and his legs trembled on his knees.

The emperor's face sank, and he looked at the two of them coldly: "Who poisoned the concubine?" ”

"Poisoned?" The two of them looked confused, and shook their heads one after another: "The poor nuns are all taking medicine and decoction according to the prescription prescribed by Princess Jinghe, don't dare to poison it!" ”

"That prescription Weichen has seen it, and there is indeed no problem, but ......" The courtyard was also embarrassed, and the emperor asked again: "There is no problem with the prescription, is there any problem with the daily medicine, have you checked it?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the daily medicine Weichen must have tasted it with his own mouth, and there is no problem." Yuan Zheng explained.

"That's the problem! If you can't say it, you all bury the old lady! The emperor was furious, everyone knelt down together, Wukang had a white face, as if he remembered something, and said: "A few days ago, Princess Jinghe came and quietly gave the poor nun some pills, saying that she wanted the poor nun to take them for the concubine in secret, I don't know if there is a problem with those pills." ”

"Pills?" The emperor's eyes narrowed coldly, and Yuan Zheng hurriedly said: "What pill, you quickly take it out and I'll take a look!" ”

Wukang glanced at Wuhui, who was trembling with fright, and with a cold sarcasm in his heart, he immediately took out a jade bottle from his sleeve.

When the old lady saw the jade bottle, her heart trembled, this jade bottle was indeed commonly used by Wei Ruyi, but how could she hide from everyone and let Wukang give the old lady medicine?

Just as she was thinking, the Imperial Doctor had already shouted, "Yes, there is something wrong with this pill!" ”

The emperor was furious: "Bastard, arrest Wei Ruyi immediately!" ”

"The emperor is angry." Lou Yan, who had never spoken out, finally came out at this time, but Zhuo Hua said: "Master Guoshi, is it time for you to protect her?" Now it is the concubine who suffers and suffers. ”

The emperor's face is not very good-looking, and if Lou Yan dares to intercede for Wei Ruyi, he will never let him go.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan also walked out: "Father, what kind of person Ruyi is is very clear, she will never harm the old lady, otherwise she would not have taken such a big risk to save the old lady from the mountain." ”

If it hadn't been for that, how would she have gotten to where she is now? Brother Seven Emperors, you have seen few people and things, and you don't know the sinister nature of this world. King Rong lowered his eyes.

Jiang Yan's face turned slightly pale: "Ruyi, she is by no means a person who is so famous!" ”

"But the poor nun has heard the princess mention it with her own ears, and she wants both fame and fortune, for the name of this princess." Wukang followed.

Jiang Yan clenched his fists tightly, Zhuo Hua took a step forward and said to the emperor: "Father, don't be angry, the national teacher and the Seventh Emperor Brother are also deceived by others, now as long as you send someone to take down Wei Ruyi, the matter will come to light." ”

The emperor had a cold face and wanted to send someone out, but he saw Lou Yan raise his head lightly and said to the old lady: "And ask the grandmother to take a look at the pill, if I am not mistaken, the pill should be the fragrant sandan that the old lady often eats, which nourishes the spleen and stomach, and does not conflict with the medicine prescribed by Ruyi." ”

The old lady came to her senses, and immediately went to get a few, smelled them, and put them in her mouth to taste them, and then said to the emperor: "Return to the emperor, this ......"

"Impossible, Princess Jinghe didn't give me any fragrant sand pills." Seeing this, Wukang immediately spoke out in a hurry.

The old grandmother's words stopped, raised her eyes to look at her, and the courtyard also furrowed her brows fiercely, this idiot, before the old grandmother finished speaking, she was in a hurry to defend something!

King Rong raised his eyes to look at the emperor's changing expression, and said, "Since the courtyard has personally examined this medicine, if it is Xiangshadan, how can he not recognize it?" ”

Wukang came to his senses, his face turned pale, and he sat back with a weak heart, and then said, "It's me who is too anxious." ”

Lou Yan looked at her lightly: "It's too anxious, anxious to prove that Princess Jinghe harmed the old lady." ”

"I don't have ......"

"Yes, then do you know what pill Princess Jinghe gave you?" Lou Yan asked her.

"No, I don't know, if I knew, how could I give the old lady a ......"

The emperor's eagle eyes were fierce: "Then how can you be sure that this is not Xiangshadan, you can recognize the pill again now?" ”

The emperor's murderous aura poured out, Wukang had never seen much of the world, and he was so frightened that his hands and feet were soft and his mouth trembled: "I, I ......"

She was speechless, and the emperor looked at the courtyard: "Then tell me, what kind of pill is this!" ”

"Back to the emperor, this is ......" Yuan Zheng hesitated, because this was not the pill he had asked Wukang to replace before, but some sugar pills made of Chuanbei Luo Han Guo and so on, which were harmless but could relieve cough and phlegm.

Lou Yan saw that he didn't speak, and glanced at the people around him: "It just so happened that when the minister came, he met Imperial Doctor Hu, so he asked him to come over. ”

The front of the courtyard was slightly white, and then looked at Wukang, who was already completely frightened, and looked at King Rong who was asking for help, King Rong only showed a faint smile, and then there was a commotion outside, and someone could vaguely hear someone shouting that there was an assassin.

There was a mess outside, and the eyes of the people inside were also diverted, and the courtyard seized the opportunity to immediately exchange the medicine in his hand for the medicine hidden in his sleeve, but found that Lou Yan was staring at him lightly.

He made a movement in his hand, Jiang Yan also came back to his senses, stepped forward and kicked him to the ground.

"What's the next thing, what do you change!" Jiang Yan scolded angrily, the emperor came back to his senses, looked at the pills scattered all over the place, and immediately reacted: "Come on, take them all down for me!" ”

When the words fell, Wukang immediately wailed: "Your Majesty, it's not about the poor nun, he forced me!" ”

Yuan Zheng scolded this fool in her heart, and she recruited herself before she could make a decision.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has been wronged!"

"Wait until you have passed the eighty torture tools of the Criminal Department, and then you will open your mouth to shout injustice!" Jiang Yan was furious and kicked him again, and King Rong only lowered his eyes lightly.

Unexpectedly, Lou Yan was one step ahead of himself and folded another chess piece.

Anyway, as soon as the old lady died, not only Wei Ruyi, but also Lou Yan had nothing to rely on.

There was a lot of noise in the room, and the old concubine, who had been sleeping all the time, finally opened her eyes.

Seeing this, the emperor immediately ordered someone to drive them all out, and then ordered: "Go and find Wei Ruyi!" ”

The people in the mansion went out immediately, Lou Yan and all the princes were standing in the courtyard, Jiang Yan looked at the people who left in a hurry, and said to Lou Yan with some concern: "Xiao Yan, if Ruyi comes, it can't be cured, will my father be angry with her?" ”

"Yes." Lou Yan understands the emperor, and seems to be open-minded and generous, but in fact he is narrow-minded and ruthless. If the old lady leaves, after a fuss, whether she did it or not, the emperor will count this account on her head.

"What then!" Jiang Yan said hurriedly, Lou Yan didn't speak, and now he can only comply with the will of heaven.

King Ping glanced at them and only asked Lou Yan: "If my father wants to punish her for the funeral today, what should you do?" ”

Lou Yan looked at King Ping, looking at his indifferent gaze that was even mixed with a little sarcasm, and his expression was faint: "No." ”

"Are you sure?"

"With His Royal Highness King Ping as a guarantee, the emperor will not ignore it, and there is the invincible obsidian army that Princess Ping gave her." Lou Yan said lightly, and Jiang Yan was dumbfounded: "There is really an obsidian army, and it was given to Ruyi?" ”

Lou Yan didn't answer him, just looked at King Ping.

King Ping heard his threat, smiled coldly, and Gonggong Gao walked out and invited him in.

Jiang Yan glanced at King Rong who was standing alone on the side, and then at Zhuohua who was gathered with several princesses, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Yan, I heard it right just now, is there really an obsidian army?" ”

"Yes, but I don't know where, the rumored Obsidian Army has disappeared for decades." Lou Yan said lightly, looking at this Lang Lang starry sky, the old lady has been her heart all her life, and it is a good thing that she is gone now, otherwise it will only be more painful for her to see the descendants of the royal family killing each other.

It is good to leave before this mask of hypocrisy is revealed.

In the room, the old lady's complexion was much better, and her face was a little ruddy.

She sat on the edge of the bed, the light of the candle was shaking, the figures were building, the old lady brought the porridge and she drank a small half bowl, and then looked at King Ping with a smile and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, you are so old." ”

"Old lady." King Ping saluted deferentially.

The old lady beckoned to him, asked him to sit beside her, and said with a smile: "When you were young, you were raised in the palace, and you always liked to run around, but your father was worried. ”

"My grandson remembers, you still lead your grandson to read and learn calligraphy, and your grandson will never forget the kindness of the old lady for the rest of his life." King Ping was about to get up and salute again, but the old lady only pulled him and smiled: "Good boy, you are the smartest child I have ever seen, with you taking care of your father, I will be relieved, and I can also go underground to tell the first emperor with peace of mind." His sons and grandsons are all outstanding. ”

The emperor looked at the old concubine's silver hair, and her eyes were wet: "The concubine ......"

"Okay, what's there to be sad about, and I'm finally going to see the Emperor, I'm happy. Emperor, after I leave, don't go against my will, I am a concubine in my life, and I am also a concubine when I die, don't make any false names, let a few children keep filial piety, it's not worth it. ”

The old lady said with a smile.

The emperor gritted his teeth: "But ......"

"What's the matter, there is only one queen mother, that is your biological mother, she has been gone for many years, and only she can enjoy this title." As the old lady spoke, she felt tired, and it just so happened that the person sent by the emperor to Chen's mansion also returned: "Back to the emperor, Princess Jinghe suddenly fell ill tonight and has not woken up yet." ”

"Sick?"

"Yes, due to a sudden illness, the Chen family went crazy and invited more than a dozen doctors at home, but there was no sign of waking up." The person who came replied truthfully.

When King Ping heard this, he thought of the calm Lou Yan, and also said: "I have always heard that this Princess Jinghe and the old lady are like the granddaughters of their relatives, but now it seems that they have sensed it." ”

The old lady looked at the emperor's slightly green face and said: "Ruyi is my most distressed child, she is sick, so there is no need to call her, I know very well that my body bones are not for her half a year ago, I am afraid that my old bones would have gone into the soil long ago." ”

"Concubine......" The emperor couldn't bear it, and the old concubine only smiled and comforted him: "You too, why are you still sentimental now." Now, I'm thinking about the marriage of a few children in my heart, the seventh, Xiaoyan and Ruyi, don't let them keep filial piety, I want to be happy to see them get married in heaven, no one is too late......"

The more the old lady spoke, the quieter her voice became, and the old lady couldn't hold back the tears that kept flowing, and quietly turned her back and sobbed.

The old lady looked at her and smiled: "When I go, don't go to the imperial mausoleum, go to Ruyi, help me watch this crazy girl." ”

"Concubine, the old slave listens to you." The old lady couldn't hear it, she was worried that if she went, others would snub her, and only by going to Princess Jinghe would she not be wronged.

The emperor looked at the old concubine, who was gradually weakening, and stepped forward to reach out to grab her, but the old concubine just asked him to call everyone else in.

It's just that when Lou Yan walked in quickly, the old lady didn't have time to say a word, she closed her eyes tiredly and stopped breathing.

Wei Ruyi, who was trapped in the dream, seemed to feel something, and tears fell with it.
