Chapter 3: The Snake Cave
Everyone gasped, the snake cave, the place that makes people creepy when they think about it.
That place, dark and bloody.
Thousands of venomous snakes are left unfed all day long, spitting out letters every day in anticipation of the arrival of raw meat, and the venom on their fangs can cause ulcers even if they touch the skin, and even if they are bitten, they can kill people for half their lives.
No matter how helplessly Lu Lingxi cried out for injustice, the man standing in the high position did not look at her, knowing that he flicked his sleeves in disgust, and the faint voice gradually disappeared in the main hall.
It's been three days, and it's been three days since the Queen Mother's death.
Lu Lingxi was thrown into the snake cave for three days since that day, and the palace people locked it and no one was allowed to visit.
Xiao Shunzi cautiously questioned the king in front of the desk, and his cold handsome face could not resist a little. "Your Majesty, the slave is brave, the queen mother is ......"
It's time to collect her body!
Gu Linyuan's hand that was reviewing the music suddenly paused, and the cinnabar pen drew a superfluous trace on the music fold.
The heroic eyebrows frowned slightly, Gu Linyuan waved his big hand, and lifted the dragon robe on his body, "Go!" Let's see if the poisonous woman is dead! ”
"Yes! Swing the Riot Room! Xiao Shunzi frowned, saying so, but the flesh and blood were thrown into the snake cave, where is there any possibility of survival?
Not to mention three days, it is three hours, and the stunning woman in the city is afraid that she will turn into white bones.
In front of the basin, the guards stood aside, and at the command of the saint, stepped forward to unlock the door.
The sound of rattling chains sounded in his ears, and Gu Linyuan's hands stood upright, but his body was already lying tightly into a fist. For some reason, when he thought of the woman's white appearance, he couldn't bear it.
The fishy stench gradually disappeared into his mouth and nose, and the harsh sunlight gradually illuminated the entire riot room as the door opened.
Seeing the scene in front of him, he was only stunned, but gradually, this consternation gradually turned into ...... Surprise?
In the two-zhang deep pit, there should have been hundreds of poisons gnawing on a pile of white bones, but at this moment, in the pit, all the corpses of those poisonous insects were lying on top of each other.
And Lu Lingxi, who was covered in blood, was really oozing blood from the corners of her mouth, and she was actually gnawing on the flesh of a poisonous snake.
The blood stained covered the woman's peerless little face, and only those bright eyes remained, and she looked at the man on the stage, her blood-stained lips were particularly dazzling.
"The queen mother, she ......" Xiao Shunzi was stunned for a long time and was speechless.
The queen mother is not dead, this is ...... How is this possible?
Gu Linyuan's clenched fists gradually loosened, and his cold eyes lit up, "Lu Lingxi, can you plead guilty?" ”
Lu Lingxi threw away the corpse of the poisoned snake in his hand, and slowly stood up, "Concubine......"
Before he finished speaking, he fell weakly, and his thin body fell down gently like a withered leaf.
I saw that the bright yellow figure was on tiptoe, jumped up, and the emperor still flew forward, falling into the basin, his hands caught Lu Lingxi's body in time, and he flew up again, and his feet fell to the ground steadily.
"Xuan Imperial Doctor!" The man picked up Lu Lingxi, who was covered in blood, and strode out of the violent room.
"Yes!"
Su Ruolian, who came immediately, saw the scene in front of her, staggered back two steps, her face was full of disbelief, and her hand dyed with bright red Kodan almost fell into the palm of her hand.
"How is that possible! Lu Lingxi, so you don't die, let's see! ”
Gu Linyuan ran wildly all the way and took Lu Lingxi to his bedroom. A group of imperial doctors knelt on the ground and checked the pulse of Lu Lingxi, who was lying on the dragon's collapse.
Gu Linyuan hovered aside, looking at the weak woman on the dragon collapse from time to time, revealing complex emotions between her eyebrows, the most unfathomable of the sacred heart.
Didn't he want to see her die, why did he still have a trace of happiness in his heart now.
"Your Majesty, the queen mother has a poison hidden in her body, which is more powerful than those poisons in the snake cave, and after those poisons bite her mother again, not only will the mother not be in trouble, but she will poison all those poisons to death."
The imperial doctor's reply interrupted his thoughts, and Gu Linyuan was extremely shocked, "How could there be a poison hidden in her body?" ”
"Forgive the incompetence of the ministers, and the ministers have no way of knowing."
"Is she in danger now?"
"Your Majesty, Niangniang is not in danger of life except for her weakness and need supplementation."
Gu Linyuan waved his hand, "Let's all go down, just leave a few minions to serve." ”
He never knew that this woman who had slept beside him for five years was actually a poisonous body!
In the charcoal basin, there was a burst of chestnut sounds, Gu Linyuan sighed, helped her tuck the quilt, and went to the imperial study alone to spend the night looking at her unconscious.
As the night grew deeper, the maid added some wood to the stove.
It was rare for Lu Lingxi to sleep so deeply again, she dreamed of eight years ago, when she was not a country in Xishu, just an innocent girl.
On that day eight years ago, she was out playing, but was knocked unconscious by the gangsters, and when she became conscious, she found herself lying on the prince's dragon bed, her whole body was soft, she wanted to scream but couldn't scream, when she was about to despair, she found a man pushing the door in.
That man was not the crown prince, but Gu Linyuan, the fourth prince at that time. She tried to ask him for help, but found that the person who came was unconscious.
In the prince's mansion, Jiao Xuan wore a red tent and spent the Spring Festival hard, and finally she became his woman.
But when he came to his senses again, he was not as gentle as before.
In order to maintain royal decency, he married her. They were childhood sweethearts and had a deep relationship, but once the suspicion in their hearts was planted, they quietly sprouted in the bottom of their hearts, and it didn't take long for the prince to ascend the throne, but he was forced into exile.
"Boom" pulled Lu Lingxi back to reality from his sleep.
Crows flew by outside the window, Lu Lingxi woke up at the sound of the charcoal basin being kicked over, she opened her eyes with great difficulty, the sun hit the bed, and she had to raise her other arm to cover it.
Su Ruolian wore a phoenix crown on her head, standing in front of the bed with great dignity, she was wearing a red phoenix robe, and she was extremely rich.
She walked forward, and pointed her finger on Lu Lingxi's chin with bright red Kodan, "Sister slept well, the emperor has been by my sister's side, and I just left early, so my sister has time to thank my sister for cutting meat and making medicine, but unfortunately the imperial doctor said that this can only be postponed, and I will ask my sister not to be stingy in the future." ”
Lu Lingxi's body was sore, she tilted her head and hit Su Ruolian's fingers, and the fierce movements caused a pain all over her body.
If it weren't for the injuries on her body, she really wanted to choke Su Ruolian's neck.
"Su Ruolian, this palace asked itself if you have been treating you well since you were a child, why do you want to treat me like this!"
Su Ruolian looked at the angry expression of the woman in front of her and chuckled, "Treat me well?" Back then, you just treated me as a dog by your side, what do you call me betraying you? Why don't you want to think about the emperor's distress and forced exile to a wild place, you coveted wealth and stayed in the capital as a hostage, and ordered me to accompany the emperor to the land of snakes, insects and rats to suffer, Lu Lingxi, if you have self-knowledge, you should hang yourself on the day the emperor kills and returns to the capital, why disgust the emperor? You don't feel dirty, the emperor still thinks so. ”
Lu Lingxi trembled, and the woman in front of her was really difficult to associate with the pure and lovely little girl who sold herself into the Prime Minister's Mansion back then.
Su Ruolian continued to laugh, her expression was already a little distorted, she mocked, "Everyone says that you are an auspicious person, and you are the daughter of the Prime Minister's family, and you will definitely be able to ascend to the phoenix throne in the future, indeed, you have ascended the phoenix throne, but what? It's not that you're still under the palace, and you probably didn't expect that just three days ago, your brother Lin Yuan had given me the back position. ”
Her words poured like a basin of cold water on her heart.
"Lu Lingxi, the emperor has abolished your position as queen, and now I am the queen, and my canonization ceremony will be in ten days."
