418 Reception Banquet (1)
"Hmph, do you think I'll believe what you're saying now? Langhua, let me ask you, what kind of ** soup did that vixen pour you, do you have to marry her into the door? How many ladies in the capital like you, but you just don't like it, and you fall in love with such a cheap vixen. Langhua, ask yourself, is your mother not as good to you as the vixen for so many years? The more Lord Yingxiu thought about it, the more angry he became, Langhua had never told lies and deceived people before, but now, he just talked nonsense casually.
If it weren't for the sudden whim to visit Langhua's yard tonight, I wouldn't know that he would have come back in the middle of the night for several days in a row. The housekeepers don't take her one by one in their eyes now, who made her not the emperor's favored cousin, but the common people.
"Mother, I'm tired, let's go back to the house and rest." Langhua didn't want to say more to Lord Yingxiu, he had been busy and tired recently, and the whole person couldn't support it, so he had to fall into bed and sleep comfortably to have his energy. Seeing his ignorant appearance, Lord Yingxiu was itching with anger, and raised his hand to throw a teacup at Lang Hua, "You stop me, I haven't let you go yet, Lang Hua, you are too much." ”
smashed it so lightly, Lang Hua fell to the ground instantly, so frightened that the county lord of Yingxiu couldn't sit still, rushed over with an arrow step, hugged the unconscious Lang Hua and cried, or the housekeeper who heard the sound sent someone to call the doctor to come over to Lang Hua for treatment. Knowing that Langhua was tired these days, the heart of the county lord Yingxiu hanging in the air slowly landed, and the doctor said that Langhua needed to recuperate for a few days and would slowly recover.
Lord Yingxiu clasped his hands together at the moment, and there were words in his mouth, not knowing what he was talking about. As soon as Zhou Mingmu returned home, he went to Lin Dongxian's yard without any scruples, and the foot he stepped out of it was withdrawn, it was so late, Lin Dongxian must have slept a long time ago, so let's wait for tomorrow! He stood quietly outside the door for a long time before turning to leave. When he arrived in the study, Zhou Mingmu glanced at Zhou Min, "Okay, don't take off your mask quickly." ”
It was not Zhou Min himself at all, but Zhou Mingmu looking for someone to fake. It just so happened that on that day, Zhou Mingmu came to the door disguised as a man and clamored to see Lin Dongxian, just so that Zhou Mingmu caught the opportunity, so he found the guards around him to pretend to be Zhou Min.
The real Zhou Min will still be locked in the secret room by him, and the guard who tore off the human skin mask knelt on his knees in front of Zhou Mingmu, "You go to the secret room now, no matter what you do, you have to pry out the whereabouts of the other half of the antidote from her mouth." With an expressionless face, he commanded the guard, and the guard respectfully retired when he heard the words.
Zhou Mingmu bent her fingers and kept tapping on the table, this Zhou Min is now unconcerned in the world, I don't know if I can pry her mouth open and get the antidote to the other half of the drunkenness. He Qun has no news for a long time, I'm afraid that even he can't prepare the antidote to drunkenness, He Qun is a miracle doctor, even he can't prepare the antidote, I'm afraid he can only rely on the guards to pry open Zhou Min's mouth. In fact, if Zhou Mingmu hadn't been afraid that Zhou Min might have Lin Dongxian's antidote in his hands, he would have killed her with a sword a long time ago to relieve the hatred in his heart.
Lin Dongxian couldn't hold on until the second half of the night, and was helped to bed by Cuiyu to rest, and the sun was three poles, and she hadn't woken up yet. Lin Dongxian fell asleep very late last night, and Cuiyu hadn't woken her up until now, asking her to rest more. In the past few days, Cuiyu feels that Lin Dongxian's spirit is not as good as before, and she doesn't know what's going on, she can only hold what she wants to say in her heart many times, and can't say it, this feeling is not good at all.
What happened in the palace last night did not spread, and the emperor had already ordered that anyone who leaked the slightest rumor would have his head, and he would also be connected with the nine clans. After all, Zhou Qingshu is his biological son, and it is not good to spread that he is the emperor. The emperor appeared in the court unharmed, and also announced that Qin Su's deceased little prince had come back from the dead, which made many ministers look at each other, the emperor was not joking with them, he didn't die young, and he could come back from the dead, what was going on?
Only Chang Mingsheng, who was in the know, stroked his beard calmly, but fortunately he was not persuaded by Mu Xuanzhang to unite against the emperor. After so many years of keen sense of smell in the court, he told him that there must be something greasy in this, and the emperor could not be poisoned and unconscious for no reason, and the palace was heavily guarded. In addition, the little prince is favored by the emperor, and it is absolutely impossible for the emperor to relax his protection of him, and there must be many secret guards who secretly protect the little prince.
Who could ask for the life of the little prince in this heavy encirclement, and Zhou Min and Mu Xuanzhang and others appeared in the capital, which made Chang Ming even more suspicious, could it be Zhou Qingshu's ghost behind this, the praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches, the emperor is indeed worthy of being the king of a country, Jiang is still old and spicy, and Zhou Qingshu still can't fight the emperor.
Next, the emperor ordered Langhua to go to the city gate to greet the regent Yeluhu and his party at the gate of Yueli, and set up a banquet in the palace in the evening to catch the wind and wash the dust. After dispersing, Lin Xiangqi suddenly stopped Chang Mingsheng, "Chang Shoufu, what's going on?" ”
Approaching him, he lowered his voice and asked, Chang Mingsheng's gaze fell on him, and he spoke after a while: "Lin Xiang is afraid that he asked the wrong person, how can the old man know?" As he spoke, he was about to leave, Lin Xiangqi quickened his pace to keep up, "Chang Shoufu, if you don't know, no one in the world will know, and please ask Chang Shoufu to give advice." After thinking about it, he was afraid that only Chang Mingsheng would know the inside story.
Obviously, the emperor was still poisoned and unconscious yesterday, and the government affairs above the court fell into the hands of him and Chang Mingsheng, and today the wind has changed, and the emperor is not only fine, but also more energetic. In addition, the little prince also came back from the dead, and the emperor also canonized him as Prince Rong, and the little prince enjoyed such honors, which shows the emperor's love for him.
In fact, the emperor did not come up with Qin Su, there was no sign at all, when Qin Su received the holy decree, his hands couldn't help but tremble, the emperor didn't put her son on the fire to roast, just such a small villain was canonized as Prince Rong, I'm afraid it's not good. However, the emperor didn't come over until noon, and before Qin Su could speak, the emperor told her that someone in the capital had seen the divine doctor He Qun, and Qin Su immediately pulled his throat and said: "Holy Lord, what you said is true, is there really anyone who has seen the divine doctor He Qun in the capital?" ”
It seemed that he still couldn't believe it, but after receiving the emperor's repeated nods and affirmations, Qin Sucai folded his hands excitedly, and kept chanting in his mouth: "Bodhisattva bless, the sky has eyes, and Dongxian is saved." Holy Lord, you must find a miracle doctor and let him detoxify Dong Xian! "I have long forgotten to mention to the emperor the canonization of Zhou Kang as Prince Rong, a smile flashed in the emperor's eyes, it seems that in Qin Su's heart, Lin Dongxian's status is more important than that of his son.
Zhou Mingmu stood outside the door for a long time, but he didn't knock on Lin Dongxian's door, and Cuiyu walked over in surprise, "Young master." Leaned over to him and said goodbye, "Young master, the young lady didn't sleep well last night, and the slave maid wanted to let her sleep more, so she didn't wake her up." If you have something important, the slave and maid will go in and wake up the young lady. Cuiyu opened her mouth tentatively, of course she didn't really want to enter to disturb Lin Dongxian's rest.
Zhou Mingmu stopped her and said calmly: "You don't have to go in, you go and do your thing!" As long as he stood outside the door and felt Lin Dongxian's breath, he felt at ease. When Cuiyu heard him say this, she turned around and left immediately, and finally let Lin Dongxian have a good rest, so that she would not go in and disturb her. Zhou Mingmu stood for a long time before leaving silently, if he had known earlier that the situation would develop like this, after he found Lin Dongxian, he would have taken her out of the capital and returned to Qingping Town desperately.
In the capital, Lin Dongxian is alone, no other relatives, of course this is not good, this is all his fault, Lin Dongxian resents him for a reason, and Qinglian, I am afraid that it will never be clear, especially Qinglian is pregnant, he doesn't even have a chance to explain, he doesn't resent anyone, this is the consequence of his cause, he must swallow it himself and taste the bitter fruit.
Leaving the mansion and getting on the horse quickly, he drove quickly to an inconspicuous mansion, got off the carriage with an arrow step, and walked in quickly. The mansion is occupied by the divine doctor He Qun, who the emperor is now vigorously sending people to look for, He Qun didn't raise his head, he knew who was coming, Zhou Mingmu walked over in three steps and two steps, and said anxiously: "How is it, has the other half of the antidote been prepared?" ”
He Qun raised his head and glared at him, "If it were so easy, you wouldn't have invited me back to the capital, young man, don't worry, wait a few more days, and I will definitely be able to prepare the antidote to drunkenness." If it weren't for the relationship between him and Cheng Guogong in the past, he wouldn't have rushed back to the capital as soon as he received Zhou Mingmu's letter for help.
Especially when Lin Dongxian is still pregnant, this doll's mentality is very good, so He Qun will go to great lengths to prepare an antidote for Lin Dongxian. However, Zhou Mingmu in front of him was too anxious, he was called a miracle doctor by the world, but it didn't mean that he was a god, anything could be developed quickly, he needed time and energy, it was impossible to prepare it casually and give it to Lin Dongxian, it would take many tests, in case he accidentally injured Lin Dongxian and the child in his womb, he would not have the face to go underground to see Cheng Guogong in the future.
Zhou Mingmu knew that he was too anxious, and pleaded: "But Dong Xian can't wait, I see her so painful, it's really uncomfortable!" "Hmph, you are pretending to be affectionate now, so what's going on with the concubine in your house? She's also pregnant, why do you care so much, it's just a woman and a child, it's more! He Qun disdainfully turned white like Zhou Mingmu, and he was not worth it for Lin Dongxian in his heart!
Zhou Mingmu stretched out his hand helplessly, "Divine doctor, things are not what you think, Qinglian and I ......" "Stop, stop, I have no interest in the affair between you and your concubine, I don't want to know at all." Don't you want me to make an antidote as soon as possible? Then hurry up, don't bother me, when I'm ready, I'll naturally go to you, okay, stop there, don't bother me! He Qun quickly stretched out his hand to interrupt Zhou Mingmu, he had to hurry up and continue the development, he didn't have time to listen to Zhou Mingmu talking here.
When Zhou Mingmu heard this, he nodded silently, "Okay, divine doctor, then I will wait for your good news in the house." Seeing He Qun bowing his head and tinkering with the medicinal materials in his hand, he turned around and left, and he was afraid that he would not be able to bring Lin Dongxian into the palace at the reception banquet in the evening. Qinglian didn't know where she learned that there was a reception banquet at night, and she wanted to protect Yelu to catch the wind, so she had been waiting in the hall for a long time, Zhou Mingmu returned to the house to change her clothes and entered the palace, and saw her dressed up.
On the melon-seed-shaped white and tender jade-like face, a pair of pear vortices were slightly flushed between the cheeks, and the rouge was lightly smeared, so that the cheeks were polished like a newly opened Qiong flower, white and red. The long black eyebrows, not like a painting, a pair of eyes that are looking forward to life, those seductive eyes, black and white, rippling with intoxicating charm. The wide pearl-white ribbon was curled, and the long black flowing hair exuded a fairy-like temperament.
The long hair and waist hanging, the forehead and ears are tied with a white and pink intarsia hanging bead hair chain, and occasionally one or two disobedient beads hang down, which adds to the beauty of both reality and illusion. With a milky white jade bracelet on his wrist, the warm mutton fat white jade exudes an unspoken brilliance, which complements a simple outfit, and a thin silver necklace around his neck, faintly with a purple luster, and when he looks at it, it is just a purple spar.
Zhou Mingmu was stunned by her dress, and said lightly: "What are you doing?" "Don't look at her face, don't want to look at her bulging lower abdomen, not to let her not come out and walk around in the yard, in case Lin Dongxian sees and stimulates her. This is his sin again, why can't this Qinglian listen to him and settle down a little.
Qinglian hooked her lips and smiled: "The concubine body is specially preparing to accompany her husband into the palace, my sister is weak, I am afraid that she will not be able to accompany her husband, the concubine body does not want to share it for her sister, the husband does not have a straight face, the concubine has never entered the palace, unlike my sister, and Concubine Su is like a sister, and she can often enter the palace." The concubine was very curious, what the palace was like, so the husband took the concubine into the palace to take a look, and the concubine promised that she would never cause chaos to the husband and talk nonsense. "Hold up your hands and swear a promise.
Zhou Mingmu glanced down at her and shook his head firmly: "No!" "Husband, why not, have you forgotten ......" Qinglian immediately raised her voice, and was interrupted by Zhou Mingmu before she finished speaking, "Okay, I haven't forgotten that you are my savior, but this time I was exempted from entering the palace." Yueli's regent and his entourage are menacing, and the current situation is unclear, so you better not go into the palace to cause chaos, and stay in the palace well, unless you don't want to give birth to the child in your womb safely. ”
In case the tea is poisoned, Qinglian won't even have a chance to cry at that time, Zhou Mingmu is kindly reminding her, and if she doesn't listen, he won't be able to control it. "If you insist on going, you can, I'll take you there! You have to think about it, this is where you go, and I can't control what happens. I can protect you in the house, but it's different when I enter the palace, my duty is to protect the saint, as for you and the child in the womb, I'm afraid I can't take care of it. Zhou Mingmu said very clearly, it depends on Qinglian's choice.
