Chapter 38: The Way to Live
In the afternoon, news suddenly came from outside.
Yao Xiang's mouth was sharp, and he said quickly: "I heard that His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes suffered an arrow wound in Mobei, and the arrows of the Tartars were poisonous, and His Royal Highness really couldn't find a doctor who could detoxify the poison, so he went back to the capital and wanted the imperial doctor to take a look." ”
Poisoning? Arrows of the Tartars?
Lu Ruoqing was eating a piece of mung bean crisp and almost choked.
Unexpectedly, she poisoned Xiao Shaoxuan, but gave him a reason to return to Beijing publicly, which is simply a blessing in disguise!
If King Huan knew the truth, let alone let her be a side concubine, he would have the heart to strangle her.
Yaoxiang said again: "It is said that the imperial doctors can't detoxify, and His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes also went to the heavenly prison and asked the divine doctor Xue Wen, but the result was still in vain." ”
"Then what did the emperor say?"
"Your Majesty? I don't know? Yao Xiang swallowed her saliva and pondered: "But the slave pondered, even if the prince was angry because of the prince's rebellion, then he couldn't watch His Royal Highness the Nine Emperors die, right?" I should be soft-hearted and let His Highness stay in Beijing. ”
Lu Ruoqing didn't believe it.
Back then, the prince made a big case of rebellion, Queen Huo was deposed and killed, and all the henchmen of the Huo family were killed! In the end, it was because General Huo Da guarded the border that the young Xiao Shaoxuan was saved.
But he also agreed, Xiao Shaoxuan was not allowed to return to Beijing without an edict in this life.
Not to mention the most ruthless emperor's family, even if the emperor has a father-son relationship at this time, King Huan and the other princes are not happy.
The emperor just let Xiao Shaoxuan stay, for the sake of a son who was contaminated with a rebellion case, offended all the other princes? Not to mention, the emperor has always been partial to King Huan, is leaving Xiao Shaoxuan intentionally to add to the blockage?
The emperor is not so stupid, he must be ......, and there are other reasons.
Lu Mubai suddenly hurried in.
"Brother? Is something wrong? Lu Ruoqing saw that he had a serious look on his face and was slightly worried.
"Stand down." Lu Mubai wanted to wait for someone to get rid of him, and then said: "The Tartars are rampant, Mobei is going to fight again, and General Huo sent an urgent report from the border pass!" ”
Lu Ruoqing couldn't help but smile when she heard this.
----I see.
"You're still laughing? If there is a war at the border, the common people will suffer. Lu Mubai was a little unhappy.
"I'm not laughing at this." Lu Ruoqing shook her head and explained: "I just heard Yaoxiang say that His Royal Highness the Ninth Emperor Prince was left behind by the emperor, and I thought ......it was strange, and it happened that my brother came to explain the reason. ”
"I explain why?" Lu Mubai was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashed slightly, and he quickly understood, "It turns out that ......, the emperor is in an emergency at the border gate, so he temporarily left His Royal Highness the Ninth Emperor Prince." ”
"For the time being?" Lu Ruoqing raised her eyebrows.
"Well, for now." Lu Mubai explained, "The emperor allowed His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes to seek medical advice in the capital, but he also said that the war situation at the border pass was urgent, so he set off for Mobei in a month." ”
"A month? It's really just a month! Lu Ruoqing was overjoyed.
"yes, that's what I'm here to tell you."
"Great." Lu Ruoqing suddenly relaxed, and said with a smile: "Then I will stay at home honestly for a month, and after waiting for His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes to leave, I will ......" Her smile slowly retracted, and the words stopped.
Because she thought that if Xiao Shaoxuan left the capital, it would be inconvenient to get the antidote once a month.
So, will Xiao Shaoxuan ask her to hand over the prescription?
Then, kill her again.
"What's wrong?" Lu Mubai said worriedly.
"Oh, nothing." Lu Ruoqing didn't dare to say the real reason, so she could only talk nonsense, "I just thought that in a few days it will be the birthday banquet of His Royal Highness King Huan, and I am afraid that I will meet His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes again." ”
"This ......," Lu Mubai groaned.
"But that's okay." Lu Ruoqing didn't want her brother to worry, so she comforted: "There are so many people present, how can His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes notice me?" Besides, even if you see it, it's not good to make trouble in front of everyone. ”
"Well, you'd better be careful." Lu Mubai admonished.
"Okay, I understand." sent her brother away, but Lu Ruoqing had a headache when she returned to the room.
Actually, she really didn't want to pull with Xiao Shaoxuan, and she really didn't mind completely detoxifying him.
But what about after that?
Who knows if Xiao Shao-hyun will kill her?
She didn't think that in her previous life, she was taken advantage of by Xiao Shaoxuan and gave birth to a son, and the two of them had feelings.
In fact, judging from Xiao Shaoxuan's previous scolding of her for being a "cheap seed, water-based poplar", you know that she must be disgusted with her!
After all, she was Princess Huan before, and then * to him, and finally died for Nian Xi, which can be regarded as entangled with three men.
In this life, she poisoned Xiao Shaoxuan again.
It's normal for Xiao Shaoxuan to dislike her, but it's ridiculous not to dislike .......
Lu Ruoqing's heart went up and down, and she called Ti Ying in, "His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes will leave Beijing in a month, do you know?" ”
Ti Ying replied, "Yes." ”
"Does Your Highness have any other orders?"
"Anything else?" Ti Ying was stunned for a moment, and then she understood what she wanted to ask, "Miss is worried, after His Highness goes to Mobei, it is inconvenient to take the antidote once a month." ”
Lu Ruoqing said: "Yes, this round trip will take two or three months." ”
"I understand what Mademoiselle means." Ti Ying shook her head, "However, His Royal Highness just asked me to come to Miss's side to be a girl, responsible for getting medicine every month, and I didn't say anything about the future." ”
Lu Ruoqing asked again: "Then what do you think Your Highness will do?" ”
Ti Ying replied seriously: "Your Highness's thoughts, slaves and maids don't dare to speculate. ”
Get! It's like not asking.
Lu Ruoqing waved her hand, "Okay, you go down." ”
Ti Ying was about to quit, and suddenly said: "Since it is inconvenient for Miss Lu to stay in the capital to get medicine, then ......, Miss Lu can go to Mobei, isn't it convenient." ”
"Pounce!" Lu Ruoqing squirted out a mouthful of tea, choking, "cough, cough......, cough cough ......!" ”
Ti Ying hurriedly said: "Miss, I'm talking nonsense. "I quit in a hurry.
It took Lu Ruoqing half a day to pant evenly.
Going to Mobei? Let her follow Xiao Shaoxuan to Mobei? Then you might as well kill her.
Her heart was a little irritable.
One month, one month!
No wonder Xiao Shaoxuan said that he asked the master to dispense the antidote in a month! It turned out that he was leaving in a month.
She wished that Xiao Shaoxuan would leave, but ......, how to solve the problem of antidote?
If the antidote is not given, Xiao Shaoxuan will definitely not agree.
Give the antidote, and her little life may be over again.
As for going to Mobei with Xiao Shaoxuan, don't even think about it, you won't go if you kill her!
So what to do?
Lu Ruoqing thought about it, but she didn't come up with a good solution.
In the end, I decided to cover my head and sleep for a long time, maybe there was inspiration in my dreams? As a result, I slept until dark, and had a nightmare.
In the dream, Xiao Shaoxuan came to talk to her, "I'm going to leave for Mobei tomorrow, leave you, my life is in danger, you must go to Mobei with me." ”
Of course Lu Ruoqing didn't agree, "Nonsense! I'm an innocent girl, follow you, what's going on? ”
"Are you innocent?" Xiao Shaoxuan's eyes were extremely sarcastic, and he sneered: "When you see a handsome man, you love one, and you are innocent?" If you are innocent, the girls in the flower building are all women from good families. ”
"Shut up!"
Xiao Shaoxuan smiled, "You are such a woman who doesn't know how to check, come with me, serve me well in the future, maybe there will be a good life." ”
"No matter what you say, I'm not going!" Lu Ruoqing covered her ears and retreated.
"Not going? That's death! Xiao Shaoxuan's eyes suddenly showed a hideous and fierce light, the cold light flashed, and a sharp sword pierced her chest, and suddenly blood burst out, dyed red and dazzling!
"Ahh Lu Ruoqing woke up suddenly.
She raised her hand and touched it, and a fine layer of cold sweat was on her forehead.
"Miss, is it a nightmare?" Hearing the news, Yao Xiang came in with her clothes on, took the lamp to the bed, and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, everything in the dream is reversed, I will pour a cup of hot tea for the young lady slowly." ”
Lu Ruoqing held the hot tea, felt the temperature of the tea in her hand, and slowly came back to her senses.
---- was okay and it was just a dream.
But, what if a month later, Xiao Shaoxuan really wants to take her away? King Huan can also be hypocritical, and Xiao Shaoxuan ......, holding Xiao Shaoxuan, who is seriously ill, and Xiao Shaoxuan, who makes the emperor jealous, will not listen to her nonsense at all.
It seems that she can only incense the Bodhisattva, pray for blessings, and go back to Xiao Shaoxuan to get out of the medicine.
Lu Ruoqing was really annoyed.
"Miss, it's been five watches, are you still sleeping?" Yao Xiang asked.
"I don't sleep." Lu Ruoqing didn't want to continue to have nightmares.
Besides, she is not sleepy now, and all she is thinking about is how to get rid of Xiao Shaoxuan and how to fight it? In the midst of lightning, she suddenly thought of a way to quench her thirst.
If she can be the concubine of King Huan within a month, Xiao Shaoxuan will not be able to take her away.
When the time comes, she will hand over the prescription to Xiao Shaoxuan, and she may be able to clear both.
However, let her serve the hypocritical and vicious King Huan, she was disgusting and wanted to vomit!
So is it the choice of nausea and vomiting? Or do you choose to die with incense?
Lu Ruoqing fell into a difficult choice.
Lu Ruoqing never expected that because of Xiao Shaoxuan's rebirth, not only could she not take revenge smoothly, but even self-preservation was a problem. So much so that after thinking about it, there was only one way to live, the concubine of King Huan.
----But she didn't want to choose.
"Miss, are you hungry? Do you want to let the kitchen cook early? Yao Xiang asked.
"Don't toss people." Lu Ruoqing waved her hand, took a few big sips of hot tea, and then put on her clothes and got out of bed. didn't ask Yaoxiang to comb her hair, she pulled a seal at will, and began to study ink and write in front of the desk.
She needs to be calm, and writing is the best way to calm her.
Yao Xiang thought she was frightened, so she wanted to find something to distract herself, so she asked, "By the way, Miss, what gift are you going to give for His Royal Highness King Huan's banquet in a few days?" ”
"Gifts?" The pen in Lu Ruoqing's hand paused.
At first, because Xiao Shaoxuan was reborn, she also thought that it would be good for Xiao Shaoxuan to kill King Huan. And now, in order to survive, he may ask to help King Huan, and he may be his side concubine.
Well, it's time to prepare a gift.
