Chapter XXVI: Three Events
Lu Qianmo got up early in the morning today, and she has slept fairly regularly in recent days, and she doesn't need to make up for sleep at this moment. When I opened the window of my room, I saw that there were already sparse pedestrians on the street, some selling breakfast and some buying breakfast; Some people came out of the inn with their bags on their backs and ready to continue their journey; Some people are in a hurry with their burdens, rushing to deliver goods for buyers.
Just as Lu Qianmo was intently observing the pedestrians on the street, a blue bird suddenly crashed into her sight. Lu Qianmo stretched out his hand to let it land on his arm, then took off the letterhead on its body, and let it leave.
It turned out to be a message sent by Mo Yan, and Murong Ze asked Qing Xi to pass it on to him. Before Mo Yan left, she explained that because of her recent whereabouts, if he had news, she could temporarily pass it on to Murong Ze, so that she could not reveal her whereabouts and receive a message from him.
According to Mo Yan's letter, he had followed the group of pretending merchants into southern Xinjiang, and due to the humid and hot climate, dense jungles, and the infestation of snakes and insects, their journey was slow, and they were expected to reach the capital of southern Xinjiang in mid-July. According to his observation, these people also entered southern Xinjiang for the first time, so they were very unfamiliar with the terrain and climate of southern Xinjiang. Since the other party rarely talked about the purpose of their trip along the way, it is not yet known what secrets they have with the Holy Maiden of Southern Xinjiang.
In addition to Mo Yan's letter, there was also a message written by Murong Ze. It turned out that a large number of demon sects gathered in the west of the city yesterday in order to assassinate Yun Moxi, but they failed again. After reading the letter, Lu Qianmo set it on fire and let it turn into ashes. Regarding Yun Moxi and the Demon Sect, she has always wondered why, the Demon Sect wants to assassinate the prince of a country three times and twice. And why did Yun Moxi drop his iconic carriage and sneak into Shifang City secretly? At the Huazhou City Inn that day, what did he mean by forcibly giving himself a token? By the way, he threw this token to Mo Yan at that time, and now he has taken it to southern Xinjiang.
Things seem to be getting more and more simple, the pretending businessman and the saintess of Southern Xinjiang, the Demon Sect and Yun Moxi, Yun Moxi's deliberate approach, Yuwen Tuo's attempt, Yu Wenhan's ambition, and the relationship between Mo Qingyan and Pei Ke, the intention of the Western Tang Emperor to recall Mo Qingyan...... Is there a connection between all of this?
Is the world really going to be chaotic? Lu Qianmo knew that there had never been an eternal era of peace and prosperity, and even the Xia Dynasty, which had ruled the Xia Chuan Continent for more than a thousand years, had finally come to an end, not to mention the current era of the division of the Four Kingdoms.
……
Northern Desert Palace, Liuli Palace. Concubine Wen is personally peeling the grape skin for Yuwen Tianba.
"This year's grapes are better than last year's." Yuwen Tianba commented.
Concubine Wen smiled, "I heard that this is the latest improved variety, sweet and juicy. ”
"Oh? With such a good variety, growers can sell it at a good price. "Yuwen Tianba still wants to be a good emperor who is praised by everyone for the country and the people, and he can be regarded as doing his best in governing state affairs, but his ambition to unify the four countries is heavier.
Concubine Wen Fengyan inadvertently observed Xia Yuwen Tianba's emotions, thinking that this was a good time at this moment, as if unintentionally mentioning it, "Concubine Wen heard from Han'er that two years ago, he inadvertently heard that a grower in the north wanted to study a new variety of grapes, so he ordered someone to investigate. After listening to the farmer's introduction, he thought it was a good thing, so he gave some silver taels to the grower to support them in making improvements, hoping to help their crops sell at a better price and let them live a good life. Unexpectedly, this thing was really done. ”
"Is this the case?" Yuwen Tianba was a little surprised, but he appreciated Yuwen Han's move very much. "Han'er is a good prince for the people."
Hearing this, Concubine Wen was very proud in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, and said flatteringly: "Actually, there is another reason why Han'er did this. ”
"And another reason?" Yuwen Tianba asked.
"yes. This reason is that Han'er knew that his father's favorite fruit was grapes, and he wanted the emperor to eat the most delicious grapes in the world. ”
Hearing Concubine Wen say this, Yuwen Tianba was moved in his heart, "Han'er has a heart." ”
"It is only natural for a son to be interested in his father. Han'er always remembered that the emperor once taught him that filial piety comes first. At this time, Concubine Wen's heart was already happy.
Yuwen Tianba held Concubine Wen's hands and said affectionately: "It is my luck to have Concubine Ai and Han'er by my side. ”
"Being able to serve the emperor and accompany him for a lifetime is also the luck of the concubines." Concubine Wen looked at her man with affection.
For a long time, the two looked at each other and smiled, and each other's eyes were full of love that was enough for this life.
"Speaking of Han'er, I don't know how he is recuperating, I haven't seen him for many days, and the concubine has missed him."
Yuwen Tianba pulled Concubine Wen into his arms, fixed the other party with both hands, and said slowly: "I'm afraid you won't be able to see him for some days." ”
"Could it be that Han'er's condition is very serious? Not infected with wind chill? Concubine Wen's face was melancholy, showing a mother's love and worry for her son.
"Concubine Ai, don't worry, Han'er is fine." Yuwen Tianba couldn't bear the beauty to worry and told the truth. "I sent Han'er to Shifang City on an errand, and recuperation is just an excuse for the outside world. You should keep this matter a secret. ”
"It's okay if Han'er is fine, the concubine should have never heard of it." Of course, Concubine Wen knew that Yuwen Han had gone to Shifang City, but if Yuwen Tianba didn't say it, she couldn't know. "If the concubine remembers correctly, the eldest prince also went to Shifang City to participate in the birthday of the owner of the Wind Howling Sword Village. Why didn't the emperor send it directly to the eldest prince, but he still wanted Han'er to go to Shifang City? ”
"Aifei, you have overpassed. Just now you said that Quan Dang had never heard of this, and he forgot about it so quickly. ”
"It's the concubine's gaffe, and the concubine deserves to die." Although the emperor was not angry, he also reminded himself that it was better for him to be more restrained. After all, the emperor is very taboo about interfering in politics in the harem.
Yuwen Tianba took Concubine Wen's jade hand, kissed it lightly, and then said, "This time I believe that you are unintentional, don't do it again next time." ”
"The concubines must remember the emperor's teachings."
……
In the Yuxiao Courtyard of the Wind Howling Sword Village, everyone's face was heavy, and they waited for the doctor's diagnosis and treatment results without saying a word. Gu Wei stared at his wife with a ruddy face and no trace of sickness, but he couldn't wake up. Although Xiao'er is not in good health on weekdays, she has never fainted, how could she become like this without warning this time?
Finally, the doctor finished taking the pulse, stroked his gray beard with his hand, and said after consideration: "Master Guzhuang, Madame's illness is really strange. ”
"How so?" Gu Wei asked eagerly.
"The old man has been seeing his wife for many years and knows his wife's physical condition very well. In the process of taking the pulse just now, I felt that Madame's body had not changed much, but there was a strange aura, and I think it was this vein that caused Madame to fall asleep. The doctor stroked his gray beard, paused, and continued: "The old man thinks that Madame has been poisoned. ”
Gu Wei was shocked, "What? Poisoned! ”
"Don't worry, according to the old man's judgment, the poison in the lady will not endanger life, it will only make the lady sleep for a while. If you want to know how long its medicinal effect will last, the old man needs to observe for a few more days to see how the strength of the pulse breath changes every day. ”
What the doctor said meant was that although Xiao'er was not in danger of life, he also had no antidote. But he can't just do nothing and just wait. "I don't know if you know any way to cure this poison, doctor?"
The doctor shook his head slightly, "Without a poison formula, it is difficult to match the antidote." But ......"
"But what?"
"It is said that Doctor Hao has a pill that can cure all kinds of poisons, and maybe it can be used to detoxify. However, it is not easy to obtain this pill from Doctor Hao, but the owner can also give it a try. After all, it is a three-part poison, although this poison will not harm Mrs. 's life, if it stays in Mrs. for a long time, it will have some impact on Mrs. Madame's body. ”
Gu Wei frowned slightly, "I don't know which Doctor Hao is talking about?" "If it's Hao Ren, it's fine, but if it's Hao Poison, it's even trickier. Although the two divine doctors were both eccentric, both good and evil, Hao Ren was better to ask for something. Moreover, Hao Ren is in the Nine Medicine Valley of Dongyue Yan City, although the distance is far away, it is still an opportunity to find it, and Hao Ren's whereabouts are uncertain, so it is really difficult for him.
"It is said that this pill was developed by the two of them when they were young, so both of them have it."
"In that case, I will immediately send someone to the Nine Medicine Valley to ask for medicine. Xiao'er's side also asked the doctor to come to her every day for diagnosis and treatment. ”
"Please rest assured, owner."
Afterwards, after several deliberations, Gu Wei finally sent his second disciple Jian Liu to the Nine Medicine Valley with a lot of money to ask for medicine. Originally, he thought that it would be more appropriate to send his eldest disciple Jiansu there, but seeing that his big birthday was just around the corner, the people in the rivers and lakes had already arrived in Shifang City. Judging from the current situation, Xiao'er can't appear on the day of her birthday, and if Jian Su is no longer there, I'm afraid it will cause people to speculate, and many things in Jianzhuang need to be taken care of by Jian Su.
After arranging the matter of seeking medicine, Gu Wei called Yang Xiao's personal maid Baicao to inquire about the poisoning. According to Baicao's recollection, at that time, Mrs. ordered her to go to the treasury to get some fabrics, saying that she wanted to sew some sachets for her master, young lady and a few disciples. She didn't find anything unusual about Madame before leaving, and when she came back from the storeroom about half an hour later, she found Madame lying on the table as soon as she entered the door, and she thought that Madame was just too tired to fall asleep, so she wanted to wake her up and let her rest in bed, but no matter how much she screamed, she couldn't wake up the other party, and she knew that something was wrong. Since Madame likes to be quiet, she usually has only one maid to serve Yuxiaoyuan, so no one knows what happened during her visit to the warehouse.
He didn't get any useful information from Baicao's side, so Gu Wei let the other party go down. Xiao'er rarely goes out on weekdays, and she doesn't have bad relations with others, who poisoned her? But judging from the nature of this poison, the other party doesn't seem to want to kill Xiao'er, but just hopes that Xiao'er can sleep for some time. From this point of view, the other party did not poison for revenge. Could it be that Xiao'er knows some secrets of the other party? But this secret will not lead to Xiao'er's death, the other party just hopes that Xiao'er can sleep temporarily and not reveal this secret. Or is there something else? This is a strange matter, where do you start? However, fortunately, Xiao'er's life is not in danger, which is a great luck in misfortune.
