Chapter Forty-Eight: Phoenix Nirvana
The emperor also whispered to Concubine Ning and Concubine De beside him: "The phoenix is a fire-related myth of the Lan clan. In the legendary Heavenly Kingdom, there is a pair of sacred birds, the male is the phoenix and the female is the phoenix. After reaching the age of 500, Jixiangmu set himself on fire and regained from the ashes, and since then it has been delicious and abnormal, and he will not die again. Back then, I saw a display of the phoenix bathing in fire, the full-color laser light of the entire person who performed the Gu technique reflected a time tunnel of several kilometers and clouds in the sky, the flames up to ten meters high erupted from the top of the mountain, the lake water burst out, and then flew straight down, in the fusion of water and fire, the phoenix was singing, and the phoenix was in the chords, deducing a 'medicine of nirvana', eating this medicine can prevent all poisons. ”
Under the emperor's explanation, Concubine De's eyes widened, indicating that it was very rare, and she said with surprise: "The Lan clan has such a good thing, why don't you pay tribute earlier, and the emperor can also prolong his life." ”
Oh, at this time, I didn't forget to put the Duo sister, and the Lan people were in an unkind and unjust situation, Concubine Ning glanced at Concubine De: "I don't know if today's Princess Yu can interpret this 'Phoenix' in the fire, after all, she is still in Xiaoyue." ”
"Yo ho, what does Concubine Ning mean by this, are you indirectly saying that the emperor is a strong man, do you want the world to criticize Your Majesty for not being reasonable?" De Concubine's apricot eyes were picked, and she said crisply.
Concubine Ning bowed her head slightly: "This palace didn't say it, whoever said it was who wanted to do it." ”
The emperor didn't care about the bickering of these two concubines, and he didn't let them stop, but everyone's eyes were on Duo Meizi.
Obviously, there is no flint on the girl's body, but there is a raging flame in her hand, gradually, the flame rises higher and higher, and a sound like a heavenly sound seems to come from the sky, it is a woman's shallow singing, I can't hear what is singing, I only know that the melody is very long, very euphemistic......
As the flame rose, Duo Meizi also soaked the bamboo tube in her hand in the sky, and Xi Nu prayed silently on the side, don't make any mistakes, this is the first time that the princess has used the fire phoenix to refine Gu.
Just when the flame in the bamboo tube dissolved, Duo Meizi slowly flew into the air, and the lake also flew up in an instant, surrounding Duo Meizi, forming a huge water ball, and the flame in Duo Meizi's hand became bigger and bigger, becoming a big fireball.
The fireball was in the middle of the water balloon, and it didn't seem to be extinguished at all, everyone was dumbfounded, and the flame in the hand of the girl became bigger and bigger, and gradually annihilated her, and it actually formed a huge phoenix, and the girl is the embodiment of this phoenix. At this time, the firelight actually showed seven colors, and I saw a girl waving her sleeves lightly, a phoenix accompanied by firelight, and the water light was connected into a rainbow leading to the ground from mid-air.
Duo Meizi slowly landed on the rainbow formed by the fusion of water and fire, and then, a larger flame illuminated Duo Meizi's face, and in an instant, Duo Meizi's bloody fingers dripped into the Gu, and a magical blue flame gushed out, and in an instant, twelve different colors of fire surrounded Duo Meizi, and slowly walked down along the rainbow bridge.
Just when the tips of the girl touched the ground, all the fire, fire, and blood were all poured into the bamboo tube in her hand, and when the flame and water disappeared, the girl spit out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.
Everyone was in an uproar, everything just now, everyone present sighed, it was a miracle, like a fairy descending to earth, especially the rainbow bridge, it was really amazing.
Xi Nu quickly stepped forward to support Sister Duo and fed a medicine to Sister Duo's mouth: "Princess, are you okay?" ”
Duo Meizi wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth: "It's okay, let's go, hand over this 'Fire Phoenix' Gu to the emperor." ”
With the support of Duo Meizi and the big girl, Xi Nu slowly came to the emperor: "Father, the 'Fire Phoenix' Gu has been refined, please take it as soon as possible, after a long time, it will disappear." ”
Concubine De was surprised, and even ignored the etiquette of the court, and stepped forward to look at the medicine in the bamboo tube: "Your Majesty, this thing is so strange, it will disappear if you don't take it for a long time?" ”
The emperor nodded, with a smile in his eyes, back then, the 'Fire Phoenix' Gu had been given to the Queen Mother, and now, finally there was another one, and he happily picked up the bamboo tube: "There is Princess Lao Yu." ”
While speaking, he happily took out the small flame in the bamboo tube, and was about to send it to his mouth, but Concubine De said: "Your Majesty, no, this is fire, how can your dragon body eat fire, Princess Yu, you dare to frame the emperor?" ”
Duo Meizi's face was pale, at that moment just now, she had exhausted all her physical strength, but she didn't expect that the 'Fire Phoenix' in this memory would consume her physical strength so much, so she didn't want to talk to anyone.
Xi Nu looked at Concubine De with disdain, and there was no trace of fear in her eyes: "Concubine De, you are really ignorant, the 'Phoenix on Fire' is what many emperors dream of, in the aristocratic system of my Lan clan, only women can refine the 'Phoenix on Fire', and ninety-nine will be one, and only one can be refined within eighty-one years, Your Majesty, if you don't take it, the next one, you will have to wait for another eighty-one years." ”
When the emperor heard this, he put the 'fire phoenix' with flames into his mouth, and there was a hint of coolness, and there was a fragrance of petals in the middle, and there was actually a trace of sweetness. Just as I was about to taste it, I immediately entered my stomach, and I suddenly felt a burst of refreshment in my internal organs, as if I had been taken out and washed.
"Okay, Princess Yu has a meritorious contribution to the medicine, if you can't take care of my eldest grandson, I won't be held accountable, so let's go back and rest." The emperor is happy, perhaps, this is the best gift for his birthday.
Duo Meizi disdainful, what is not pursued, it is high-sounding, the emperor is like this, although the people below have been wronged, they still have to be grateful to him, even if the emperor wants to kill you, you still have to be grateful.
"Thank you for your father's grace." Duo Meizi sighed, who called her already crossed, she had to abide by the rules of the game of this era, or she would be passed out.
Duo Meizi returned to her position and sat down, drank a cup of hot water, her body still couldn't slow down, her hands and feet were cold, and it was difficult to even breathe, so she could only rely on Xi Nu to hold her hand tightly and give herself a little warmth.
The emperor was happy, drank several glasses of wine in a row, refreshed, and the concubine looked at the emperor rarely: "Your Majesty, after taking Princess Yu's medicine, can you really be poisonous?" ”
"That's natural, the old queen mother is now eighty years old, and she is not recuperating in the royal cloud mountain, just because she took the 'Fire Phoenix' back then." The emperor was happy today, laughed so much that wrinkles came out, and said these words to Concubine De.
Concubine De coquettishly: "Your Majesty, it's better to let the Lan clan make a few more, let the concubines also taste fresh, and the concubines also want to live with you." The more Concubine De spoke, the happier she became, completely forgetting that her niece was sent to the Northern Regions just now.
The emperor didn't think much about it, drank a glass of wine, and watched the song and dance with great interest: "Concubine Ai doesn't know, only the women of the Lan clan can refine the 'Fire Phoenix' in the patriarch's lineage, and it can only be refined once in eighty-one years, and the medicine that is refined must be taken within the time of half a pillar of incense, otherwise, there is no need for me to wait so many years." ”
As soon as the emperor finished explaining, Concubine Ning said: "Concubine De has to be careful to speak, the people present today are all important ministers of the court, and you dare to live with the emperor and the sky, if this sentence is heard by the imperial historian, I don't know how to record it in the history book." ”
When the emperor heard Concubine Ning say this, he remembered what Concubine De said just now, and there was deep doubt in his eyes, and he said lightly: "Concubine De, after many years in the palace, don't you know what prudence is in words and deeds?" ”
Concubine De lowered her head, as if realizing her mistake, the emperor felt that the time was almost up, so he drove back to the palace to rest, everyone saw that the emperor was also gone, and after playing for a while, they all went back one after another.
On the way back, Aunt Shen and Sister Duo were still in the same carriage, "Princess, why didn't the concubine know that you still had such a stunt?" ”
The big girl sneered: "Is it possible, when our princess goes to the toilet, she has to report to your aunt?" ”
The big girl has always been disdainful of arguing before, but now she dares to say this about Aunt Shen, the implication is, is it possible that a princess has to tell your aunt everything, and you don't care about going to the toilet?
Aunt Shen glanced at the big girl, looked at the weak Duo girl who was resting on the carriage, and said, "What's wrong with the princess, is she sick, do you want to find a doctor to come and take a look?" "It's good to die of illness, but I'm relieved to be sick and dead. Shen Jie's heart kept shouting, and he was so happy.
Xi Nu knew that Sister Duo was reluctant to speak at this time, and said coldly: "Don't worry about Aunt Shen, the princess has me, you have that leisure, or are you ready to help your cousin prepare a dowry, but the slave maid heard that the prince of the Northern Regions is a merry boy." ”
Facing the ridicule of a slave, Aunt Shen was angry, but she couldn't scold the eighteenth generation of Xinu's ancestors, so she had to smile: "Xinu, you shouldn't be jealous, hehe, after my cousin married to the Northern Regions, she will be the queen more than ten years later, and this honor is something that your Lan clan can't ask for." ”
Xi Nu smiled disdainfully: "I heard that the prince not only likes beautiful women, but also likes prostitution, since Aunt Shen is so rare as the prince of the Northern Regions, it is better to give your mother's younger brother to the prince of the Northern Regions, perhaps, the prince will ascend the throne in the future, and he will give your brother a big official, and when the time comes, your Lin family and Shen family will be famous for a while, and the power will be overwhelming." ”
"You...... Xi slave, you slave dare to slander your master, don't you want to die? "Aunt Shen is twelve points angry, even her makeup is spent, like a phantom in the night, her mother's brother is the hope of the Shen family, and she is also her most beloved brother.
Xi Nu's eyebrows raised: "Aunt Shen, is it difficult, who else do you want to punish an aunt?" You are in Yuwangfu, and you are just a servant, not a master. ”
