Chapter 150: Three Days of Dreaming
The hour was almost up, the emperor brought a few palace concubines over, and everyone hurriedly got up and saluted, fortunately, the Great Qin Dynasty was not very fashionable to bow down, otherwise Xiao Ruyu's knees would be wronged.
The emperor is a thin old man with strong spirits, despite his age, his eyes are sharp and shrewd, and when he looks at people, he feels quite pressured, and he can't help but be afraid. This may be the aura of a king who has been in the top position for a long time.
The emperor walks steadily and powerfully, his back is straight, his voice is calm, his breath is calm, and he looks like he should be in good health. At least I didn't take the fairy drunk.
The emperor sat down under the service of Concubine Jin, and waved his hand to let the ladies and dependents sit down. He held a banquet in another garden to entertain the important ministers of the court and the imperial family, and at this time he just came to go through the motions.
After greeting with a few concubines, the emperor raised his feet and wanted to leave, but he was just halfway to the banquet and suddenly turned around and asked, "Is the daughter of the general of Zhenbei here?" As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes shot like arrows.
Although Xiao Ruyu is low-key enough, what are these people doing, as soon as she entered the palace, the news of her was clearly picked up by them, although many people did not greet her, but everyone knew her location.
Concubine Jin and several other palace concubines were stunned for a moment, not knowing what the emperor meant by suddenly mentioning the goddaughter of a great general, Xiao Ruyu couldn't continue to keep a low profile at this time, so she had to come out and say, "The people's daughter Xiao Siyu has seen the emperor." "Because she is a goddaughter, she can't call herself a courtier.
The emperor frowned slightly when he saw her wearing a veil, "What's going on?" "I wasn't scratched in the palace.
"The emperor's atonement is rude to the people's daughters, some people are not accustomed to the water and soil, and they have rashes on their faces, so they are afraid that it will hinder the view, so they are veiled, please forgive the emperor." Xiao Ruyu saluted again, and complained in her heart: What the hell, what does the emperor want to do when he suddenly pays attention to her? She didn't believe that the emperor suddenly let her enter the palace on a whim.
"Oh, I see. It's okay. The emperor stared at her veiled face a few times, his expression was slightly depressed, and finally waved his hand and walked away, Xiao Ruyu got up and returned to his seat, ignoring the inquiring eyes around him, and continued to eat and drink calmly.
"Miss Xiao, our young lady asked the slave maid to give you this snack to eat, this is the emperor's reward to Concubine Jin, you don't have it here." A purple-clothed girl smiled and showed Xiao Ruyu a plate of dim sum, and Xiao Ruyu recognized her as Xia Chuqing's girl. She looked up in the direction of Xia Chuqing, she was looking at this side with a smile, and saw Xiao Ruyu looking at her, smiling and picking up her snack plate and pointing to the girl.
Xiao Ruyu nodded at her, reached out and took the plate of dim sum, the dim sum was indeed very delicate and smelled delicious, but unfortunately it was tickled and powdered inside. I don't know if Xia Chuqing did this to test her or make her ugly.
Raised a piece of dim sum and gestured to Xia Chuqing, lifted the veil and put it in his mouth, and nodded gently, it tasted good.
The girl saw that she had eaten a snack and retreated satisfied. Xiao Ruyu sneered wordlessly, this Xia Chuqing really thought she was a bully, dare to calculate her, it seems that she should know why the flowers are so red.
She dreamed about that girl's clothes for three days just now, as long as she went back to contact Xia Chuqing, she would definitely be able to pass it on to Xia Chuqing. This three-day dream is not a poison, but a tricky medicine powder that stimulates the nerves in the brain to make people dream.
The so-called three days, one day nightmares, one day spring dreams, one day enuresis, this era does not know much about neurological drugs, and will not notice it at all, only when they collide with something dirty. The best thing is that the toxicity of this thing disappears after three days of attack, and when you notice the abnormality, you won't find anything at all.
And the more absolute thing is that this thing will not attack that night, but three or five days later. At that time, even if Xia Chuqing knew in her heart, she would not be able to buckle the basin on her head.
Nightmares dig out the deepest fears in people's hearts, and if no outsiders wake her up from outside, it will be over in four hours. The same is true of Chunmeng, who rolls the sheets with his beloved one night, is highly excited, and the next day he has no strength like a dead fish. As the name suggests, enuresis will make people wet the bed, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl can wet the bed, that scene is unbearable to look at, after three nights like this, if it is not for the determination of the mind, it will definitely go crazy.
Xiao Ruyu didn't like Xia Chuqing's approach very much, no matter what she did, she would fall into passivity. If she is fine, it means that she understands medical skills and can easily dissolve her itchy powder, if she is itchy all over, she will definitely make a fool of herself later, and she will be openly ugly at the palace banquet, and she will want to mix in the aristocratic circle in the future.
Seeing the mung bean cake in the distance, Xiao Ruyu squinted and smiled, she asked the palace maid next to her to bring the plate of mung bean cake, she wanted to eat a little. Mung beans are detoxifying, and she didn't eat much itchy powder just now, and a few pieces of mung bean cake should be almost relieved.
Xia Chuqing had been staring at her, and she didn't see her itchy powder attack until the end of the palace banquet, her expression became solemn, could it be that this Xiao Siyu really understands medical skills?
After a while, her maid came over and said a few words to her, she looked at Xiao Ruyu with an inexplicable strange gaze, a plate of mung bean cake easily dissolved the itchy powder, whether it was done intentionally or unintentionally, this Xiao Siyu is really not easy to deal with.
At the end of the palace banquet, Xiao Ruyu greeted Xia Chuqing politely, and by the way, she gave her the other half of the medicinal powder of the three-day dream, so that the medicine could be completely triggered, and her maid ring was only half contaminated and would not have a seizure. She thanked her loudly for giving her the snacks that Concubine Jin had given her. Sure enough, it was produced by the palace, and it tasted really good.
The people around looked at Xia Chuqing's eyes and were a little surprised, what does this Xia Chuqing mean, she actually gave away the things rewarded by Concubine Jin casually, she really didn't know how to lift it.
Xia Chuqing smiled dryly and dealt with Xiao Ruyu, and went straight to Concubine Jin's bedroom to ask for guilt. On the way, he kept scolding in his heart: This Xiao Ruyu, saying that she didn't mean it, she was really blind.
"Master, that Miss Xia seems to have bad intentions, you didn't trick her, did you?" Cai Wei didn't mean to worry about Xiao Ruyu at all, just now she saw Xiao Ruyu sprinkle medicinal powder on that girl's ring, and she also helped cover it.
I don't know what strange things the master got this time, that Xia Chuqing was blind to provoke the master, I really don't know whether to live or die.
"Go, go, how can you be a girl like you, don't worry about the master, I actually care about others, what, you want to try it too?" Xiao Ruyu squinted at her and snorted.
Cai Wei waved her hand again and again to forgive, she was not blessed to enjoy the master's medicinal powder. If the master doesn't make a move, it's enough, and when he does, he will put people to death.
Closed his eyes and rested on the carriage, and by the way, he recalled the situation in the palace, and he didn't see the queen tonight? Xiao Ruyu felt a little strange, it is said that the Mid-Autumn Festival is a day of family reunion, even if it is to block the eyes of civil and military officials, the queen should go through the motions. Why didn't she show up?
Xiao Ruyu didn't know that in the queen's bedroom at this time, the queen, dressed in obscene clothes and pants, was screaming in horror in front of a mirror. Her face and body were covered with patches like snake stripes. The patches filled her exposed skin, and the whole person looked horrible and ugly.
"How so? How so? "Standing in front of the delicate and gorgeous bronze mirror, the queen held her face, her eyes full of disbelief." Wasn't it good at the beginning? How did you become like this now? Yes! As she spoke, she tugged at her hair with both hands, and her body trembled.
"Queen Mother, there will be no problem with the Danfang on Huangmei's side, we have used it for almost three years, and it has been good, why is it suddenly not working now, there must be something wrong with the blood, by the way, maybe those girls themselves have a problem, that's why it's like this." The queen's henchman, Mama Zhong, forced her composure and hugged the queen and comforted, "After a while, the slave maid will find Imperial Doctor Ren to see what is going on." ”
"You go. Find someone to guard the palace gate and not let anyone in, and say that I am asleep. At this moment, the queen calmed down and commanded.
Mama Zhong agreed, helped the queen lie down, helped her put down the golden and gorgeous bed tent, and then walked out. She felt very lucky, and as soon as she found out that something was wrong with the queen, she sent the palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting, and even pushed away tonight's palace banquet, otherwise the queen would fall ill at the palace banquet, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
The queen has been using a beauty recipe for the past few years, which is said to have been handed down by a stunning beauty three hundred years ago. Although the things used hurt the heavens and made pills from virgin blood, the effect was very good, and the queen was much younger after using it, and people in their forties looked about the same as those in their twenties. The queen was satisfied.
But a month ago, the queen's body suddenly appeared abnormal, often itching, getting worse and worse, and then a large area of skin appeared like a patch. At first, I had to wear heavy makeup to cover up the markings on my face. Later, it became more and more powerful, and the heavy makeup couldn't cover it up, so the queen could only hide in the palace and didn't dare to go out. Fortunately, in the entire palace, except for the emperor, she is the biggest, and no one is looking for her fault when she is closed, otherwise she would have been exposed.
Doctor Ren, who found a confidant, read it and asked the woman who gave the secret recipe at the beginning, but it didn't solve the actual problem. The woman said that this is their family's ancestral secret recipe, there will be no problem, and besides, the queen has been using it for three years, and it has been very good, it shouldn't be that there is a problem with the recipe.
Imperial Doctor Ren couldn't find out anything wrong with his pulse, and the angry queen almost cut him.
Now the queen is almost crazy, so she can only find Doctor Ren to think of a way, at least prescribe some sedative medicine to the queen, if this continues, the queen may go crazy one day.
After Mama Zhong left, a black shadow flashed into the queen's bedroom, and he looked at the queen who was lying on the bed and sneered, Kou Yunzhu, there are some things, have you forgotten?
