Chapter 33: Musk
Inside the king's tent, Xi Ze finally slowly opened his eyes in the long-awaited gaze of everyone.
The lights and shadows overlapped vaguely, and Xi Ze tried to open his eyes wider, hoping that his vision would become clearer.
After getting used to it, I saw Qing Qiye standing in front of the bed with his back slightly hunched, and by the bedside, Wang Ningxuan whispered with infinite joy: "Your Majesty, you have finally woken up......"
Xi Ze turned his head to look at Wang Ningxuan and asked eagerly, "Yun Lean...... How is Cloud Tilt now? ”
Wang Ningxuan hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Concubine Rong is fine, and she is resting in the tent!" ”
Xi Ze was a little relieved, and through the screen standing next to the bed, he saw that the tent seemed to be full of people, and Xi Ze couldn't help asking, "Who is standing there?" ”
"The ministers and concubines are very worried about the emperor, so they all stand in the tent and wait for the emperor to wake up!" Wang Ningxuan explained.
"Oh......" Xi Ze looked a little dizzy, and said, "Is Wan Feng here?" ”
When Xia Wanfeng heard this, she hurriedly stepped out and replied: "The minister is here!" ”
Xi Ze instructed: "Today's bee disaster, I will hand it over to you to investigate, you must do your best to stop this monarch killer without delay!" ”
"Yes, I obey!"
When Xi Ze heard this, he relaxed a little, and said: "Wanfeng, now that I have woken up, you can go back with the ministers first!" ”
"Yes!" After speaking, he said politely to the ministers, "Ladies and gentlemen, please go back!" ”
After the ministers withdrew one after another, Xi Ze asked Wang Ningxuan again: "Queen, are all the concubines here?" ”
Wang Ningxuan didn't know what Xi Ze meant by this question, so he only replied truthfully: "If you go back to the emperor, except for Concubine Rong, only Concubine Jing is not there!" ”
Xi Ze replied like this, his face gradually turned cold, and he said coldly: "Remove the screen!" ”
Wang Ningxuan was shocked when he heard this, and shouted: "Your Majesty ......"
Xi Ze accentuated his tone and shouted, "I said to remove the screen, didn't the queen hear it?!" ”
Wang Ningxuan was frightened, and quickly got up and bent down to say "yes". Immediately afterwards, he ordered the chamberlain to remove the screen in front of the bed.
All the concubines knew what the emperor looked like now, and they all lowered their heads and didn't dare to look directly at Long Yan, Xi Ze propped up his upper body slightly, and coldly swept every concubine below. Looking at them one by one, a pair of dragon eyes seemed to burst out with a creepy glow, containing several killing intents, which made the concubines shudder.
Time was silent, dripping like ice. After a long time, Xi Zefang spoke: "I know that Concubine Rong's murder today is not an accident, the murderer is among you, I don't know who it is now, but I will investigate it to the end!" It's good that I favor Concubine Rong, but I haven't ruthlessly cut off my favor to you, so you can't tolerate Concubine Rong like this? Are you so jealous of Concubine Rong? Do you have to hurt Concubine Rong like this, and even put her to death? You're going to work against me, aren't you?! You think I'm too kind, don't you?! The Yao family framed Concubine Rong, and I only demoted her status. You all think that such a treatment is too light, so you dare to hurt Concubine Rong so wantonly, right? Well, then I will tell you, today's matter, as long as I find out, I want the murderer to take his life to pay, and all those who hurt Concubine Rong in the future will want him to take his life! Do you all remember clearly?! ”
Now the concubine couldn't stand anymore, and knelt on the ground one after another: "I remember it all!" ”
Xi Ze held back his anger and shouted, "If you remember clearly, get out!" ”
The concubine didn't dare to slack off. Stand back in unison.
At this moment, Xi Ze suddenly said again: "The queen stays!" ”
Wang Ningxuan was ordered to return to Xi Ze's bedside to standby.
Xi Ze saw that all the concubines had retreated and lay down, he took a long breath and said, "I'm thirsty." The queen pours a glass of water! ”
Wang Ningxuan didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and hurriedly poured water and served it to the bed, Xi Ze drank it all, eased his face, and said to Wang Ningxuan: "None of what I said just now was for you. Does the queen understand what I mean? ”
Wang Ningxuan's eyes couldn't help but heat when she heard this, the meaning of these words was very clear, that is, Xi Ze decided that today's matter had nothing to do with her, and she could finally put her hanging heart back to its original place, so she sat down on the stool in front of the bed and said with a smile: "Thank you concubine for the emperor's trust!" ”
Xi Ze showed a pleased smile and said to Wang Ningxuan gently: "You are the first person to follow me, if I don't even believe you, who else can I trust?" You don't have to be so careful in front of me! ”
"Yes!" Wang Ningxuan nodded.
Xi Ze seemed to want to say something to Wang Ningxuan, but when he turned his head and saw that Qi Ye was still standing aside, he asked, "Qi Ye, what medicine do I need to drink?" ”
Looking at Xi Ze at night, Mu Ran replied, "You have already taken medicine just now, and you will have to wait two hours to take medicine again!" ”
Since this is the case, Xi Ze said: "Thanks to you, then you can go and rest for a while!" I'll send the medicine later! ”
However, Qi Ye didn't seem to have the slightest intention of retreating, he replied motionlessly: "I'm too lazy to move as soon as I come and go, I'll just stand here and watch the effect of the medicine, you just treat me as air, and I won't be silent, I won't get in the way of your business!" ”
When Xi Ze heard this, he knew that he had something important to report to him in the night, he couldn't help but sink his heart, and turned to Wang Ningxuan and said: "Queen, I am a little hungry now, you go and arrange meals for me, you know my taste, get more of what I like, you look at it, I can rest assured!" ”
"Yes!" After Wang Ningxuan finished speaking, he got up and retreated.
Xi Ze saw that Wang Ningxuan had gone away, and seeing that there were only him and Qi Ye in the tent, Fang frowned and asked, "What is so important?" Even the queen can't listen to it! ”
There is a rare compassion on the face of the night, and there is a faint self-blame and unbearability in the compassion, he folded his hands in front of his chest, and said slowly to Xi Ze: "The bee venom you have in this time is something I have never seen before, the process of detoxification is very difficult, I was not completely sure at that time, someone needs to test the medicine before you can take it, and if there is a slight difference, you will have to worry about your life, the servants on the errand in front of the emperor are all human spirits, I don't need to say more, they all know the danger of testing the medicine, everyone has the instinct of greed, at that time, no one was willing to test the medicine for the king, The concubines and ministers were all present, and everyone was silent, only Concubine Jing...... Only Concubine Jing is willing to test the medicine! But there is a very heavy musk in the antidote medicine, which can only be drunk by men, and women will be sterilized when they drink it, when she wants to test the medicine, I immediately reminded her, and the queen also stopped, but she saw that everyone was unwilling to test the medicine, and insisted on testing the medicine for you, putting life and death out of the way, and finally pushed the queen to drink all the bee venom and the medicine I prepared, this time you can get out of danger safely, it all depends on Concubine Jing to test the medicine, but ...... But Concubine Jing may never have children again in this life, although I heard that you have neglected her for a long time, I don't know why, but I know that you still care about her, I can't stop her, it's my fault, please condemn you!
