Invite the red-haired man to a seat, and the left and right must be entertained with good wine and meat.

Zuo Pi held the wine jug and asked respectfully: "This brother, dare to ask the name?" ”

The red-haired man replied, "Chang Yu." ”

"Huh?" Zuo Pi gave him chopsticks, "It's not common, Brother Tai is not from the Qin State, right?" ”

"From Bashu."

"Bashu." Zuo Pi set an almost, "Bashu is a good place, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the people are outstanding." ”

Chang Yu said: "There is no one to brilliant. ”

Zuo Pi felt that he was a bit of a shaft, and laughed twice, "Then there is no one to brilliant, but there is a family?" ”

Chang Yu pulled a chicken leg, opened his big mouth and swallowed the dates, not even spitting out the bones, "Yes, dead." After a long time, the bones are gone, and you don't want to know. ”

Right whisker: "? ”

What do you mean, don't you just ask casually, what bones are not bones, is it possible that we still want to dig them up.

Zuo Piben, who was on the side, chuckled when he heard it, but now he heard the second half at first glance, and said with a smile: "Brother Chang, brother Chang, you are really good at laughing." ”

As long as there is none, it doesn't matter if he has it before.

Right Su didn't beat around the bush like his brother, and said directly: "Now there is a fat difference in Xianyang Palace, who is a guy waiting for women, do you want it?" ”

Chang Yu didn't answer.

He added, "You are a foreigner, and you have come all the way to Xianyang City. I guess you want to get ahead, let me tell you, some things, a lonely brave is called a young man, what about you, I think you still take a shortcut, this shortcut is good, you can avoid decades of detours. ”

Mortals always like to be opportunistic.

The tail of Chang Yu's slender eyes was pulled, and she didn't look depressed.

Zuo Pi continued to add to the fire: "Think about it, who is not relying on? On oneself, on others, on old men, on women, that's all the same. ”

He continued to pour wine for Chang Yu, "This work is much better than doing dirty work outside, adding bricks and tiles, and not getting a few dollars and more work." ”

"As for you, just do it."

Right Pi took the words and bit the word "do", "If you do it well, you will ascend to the sky in one step, and the pleasure will be endless, our brothers are looking at you as suitable, if you are a man, don't be afraid." ”

In the eyes of the two brothers' red needles, Chang Yu swallowed the whole chicken three times and divided five by two, "Snort, don't you just be a duck, why are you afraid."

"Good! Brother Chang is really a real man! ”

The left and right sides served him wine and smiled at each other.

Chang Yu is indeed suitable.

Xiangguo wants to find a talented man, just because of the difficult gap of Empress Dowager Zhao.

But you can't send it to the palace openly, the only thing is to pretend to be a eunuch.

This eunuch is too burly and not good, easy to see, and his jaw is smooth and hairless, which saves the trouble of pulling out the trouble.

The main thing is to be sure that there is no difference.

The two brothers hurried and hurried, and they didn't dare to delay, and immediately sent him to Xiangguo.

In the Xiaoxiao bamboo forest, Lu Buwei, who was dressed in white, was wearing the piano.

Lu Buwei's fingers were wrapped around the white silk strings, his eyes were lowered, and he was tightening, and there was a pot of wine sealed in mud next to him, as well as a broken string.

In the elegant tone of gin, the left and right Pi carried Chang Yu and knelt down, "Meet Xiangguo, the person has been found." ”

Lu Buwei didn't raise his head, as if he was disturbed, there was only one thing in his hand to change the strings, which was worth doing.

Chang Yu didn't kneel either, he was looking at the first minister of the powerful Qin State.

Zuo Pi found that Chang Yu did not kneel, so he hurriedly gave him a look, but unfortunately it was useless for his eyes to cramp, and Chang Yu was still unmoved.

It's still too much.

Zuo Pi thought to himself, if this person Empress Dowager Zhao didn't like it, she would directly pull it to transport the axle.

Lü Buwei wound the piano, plucked it twice, tried it slightly, and said: "The new strings are not always used for the old strings." ”

You Pi hurriedly said: "The new strings are good for the new strings, and the old strings are good for the old strings. ”

Zuo Pi poked his brother's waist socket and motioned for him to shut up and stop talking.

Right Pi was busy and said business: "Xiangguo, the person you want the little ones to look for is now found, are you going to send it to the Queen Mother now?" ”

"Zheng—"

The strings were broken, the wind rustled through the bamboo forest, and Lü Buwei's fingers pressed against the surface of the piano and there was still a tremor.

When he looked up, he looked at Chang Yu's eyes warmly, and the sunlight poured down from the place where the branches and leaves overlapped, but it seemed to split him in half, and he fell into an endless tug.

It was only a blink of an eye, and he slowly let go of his hand, "Go ahead, send him to the palace, and bring a new string to Benxiang." ”

Everything, as usual.

Left Pi Right Sue breathed a sigh of relief.

They were finally about to finish this chore, so they blinked four painful needle eyes, and took Chang Yu to live in the guest house first, and then thought about finding an opportunity to send them to the palace quickly.

If you don't hurry up, then Empress Dowager Zhao is afraid that she will go crazy first.

*

Inside the palace of the Empress Dowager Zhao.

The flame of the candles flickered and the burning spices in the stove were smoking.

Zhao Ji is dressing up.

As the saying goes, a woman is the one who pleases herself, and she is extremely concerned about her years.

But even though she was full of beads and gorgeous clothes at this time, she was the most noble woman in Daqin, she was still extremely dissatisfied.

"Mama Sun."

Zhao Ji's voice was like a warbler's cry.

Mama Sun stepped forward: "Niangniang, here." ”

"Don't you like my outfit?"

Mama Sun said: "There are thousands of mothers and thousands of phoenixes, no one can compare." ”

Zhao Ji was not satisfied with her wording, all she wanted was her sweetheart's liking.

What about the thousands of phoenixes? Staying in this deep palace, is it for the blind to see?

She took off the hairpin ring on her head, put it in the carved box, touched the scattered patterns on it, and her heart was like a tide, "You say, when will Wei marry me, he said that when Chengjiao's affairs are done, he will marry me in a beautiful manner, and he asked me to be his wife Xiangguo, or his wife." ”

Mama Sun is from Xiangguo's Mansion, so Zhao Ji has no taboos.

Then she said: "Cheng Jiao is dead, and no one can shake his position now, and there is no obstacle between us." ”

Mama Sun bowed her head: "Xiangguo is about to marry his mother." ”

"Poof." Zhao Ji pulled the tail of her eyes and smiled.

She stood up, and walked with a tinkling ring, and the fragrance was delicate.

Zhao Ji handed the box in his hand to Mama Sun, "I, there are so many things in the palace that I can't do it, I don't want any good things, but he loves to send me these, now I'm going to marry him, and this thing has to be my dowry, he is really a slippery businessman, but he can't do anything to lose money." ”

Mama Sun raised her hands and respectfully took the box.

Zhao Ji said again: "Grandma Sun, have you asked people to count my gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin?" ”

"If it really comes to the day of marriage, it will save you a hurry." Her voice was as gentle as water, like a virtuous wife, "It's almost half a life, but I haven't been married once, and at the end of the day, I really seem to be back in the twenty-eighth year." ”

Mama Sun said: "Rest assured, Xiangguo is properly and thoughtful, and it will be able to be arranged without leakage." ”

"He can stand up when the sky falls, he does things, I don't worry."

Grandma Sun: "Alas. ”

Zhao Ji patted the back of her hand and said, "To be a woman, any power and wealth are fleeting, these are not important, the most important thing is to be able to find someone who can truly love you, love you, and two people support each other to finish this life." ”

Mama Sun was silent for a long time, with a thin layer of pity in her eyes, and at the same time she felt deep sorrow for this woman, "Niangniang."

Zhao Ji gently bowed her head and let go of her hand.

Grandma Sun clasped the pill in her sleeve with her fingers, buttoned it tightly, and said, "Niangniang, when the time comes, it's time to take medicine." ”

The following Fang Shi is giving Zhao Ji a kind of elixir for eternal youth in the palace every day, saying that this medicine can rejuvenate and prolong life.

Zhao Ji was also taking it every day and said, "Take it." ”

The jade bottle was unscrewed, and the elixir mixed with water rolled into his mouth.

Zhao Ji closed her eyes slightly, swallowed, and frowned after swallowing: "Mama, why does this medicine smell strange?" ”

Mama Sun clenched her palms: "This is Danshi's new prescription, which can detoxify." ”

"This monk is talking all day long, if the medicine is not prescribed well, I will have his head."

Zhao Ji said casually, and then she covered her mouth, "No, no, no, Wei Ding doesn't like me like this, he should like to be gentle." ”

Mama Sun: "What about the mother, Xiangguo will be distressed." ”

Zhao Ji dispelled her doubts, but after swallowing it, she still felt that the taste was a little flushing, so she hurriedly took the tea handed by Grandma Sun, opened her lips, and drank it.

Suddenly.

A sharp pain arose in her lower abdomen, and the pain of grinding flesh made the tea cup in Zhao Ji's hand fall off and fall to the ground.

"Bang."

The porcelain tiles are in tatters.

"It hurts!" She sat down uncontrollably holding her stomach, and the cold sweat on her forehead instantly hurt, "It hurts, ah, it hurts, it hurts, what is this, grandma Sun, what did you give me?!" ”

Blood gradually gushed out from her lower body, and the blood flowed more and more, and the bright red blood stung her eyes.

Zhao Ji kicked her legs and sat back uncontrollably holding on to the ground.

But another wave of pain hit, and she didn't even have the strength to sit, so she kept rolling and screaming, "Ahh

Grandma Sun hurriedly went to help her, "Niangniang, this is detoxification, detoxification, it will be fine immediately." ”

Zhao Ji was in pain and had spasms all over her body, this pain was no less than picking flesh in her stomach, she couldn't hear anything, she could only cry and cry out in pain, "Grandma Sun, what kind of pill is this!" I'm going to kill him, kill that warlock! Yes! ”

"Mother, it's going to be fine soon, it doesn't hurt."

Mama Sun calmly stuffed the silk cloth into her mouth to prevent her from biting her tongue, and the words she said were as calm as a scale, "Niangniang, don't shout, beware of ruining your throat." ”

Zhao Ji's palms were stained with blood, "Yes, you can't shout, if you shout in your throat, you won't like it." ”

She felt something drain from her body, pooling into a pool of blood, and she bit the silk cloth so hard that only two lines of tears were still rolling down her pale face.

The strange thing is that this pain comes and goes quickly.

After the pain passed, Zhao Ji's whole person seemed to be fished out of the water and lay on the ground with no strength.

Zhao Ji stretched out his palm to look at the blood in his hand, and said blankly: "Grandma Sun, what kind of elixir is this." ”

Mama Sun: "The detoxification pill, as this person gets older, the more toxins accumulate in the body, and it is better to discharge them." But don't worry, this pill only hurts once, and if you take it later, this meridian will be naturally unblocked. ”

Zhao Ji is now extremely sensitive, like a worm wrapped in a spider's web, catching the tremor of every silk thread, "This Fang Shi was found by Buwei, are you the person around Buwei?" ”

Grandma Sun: "Yes." ”

Her answer made Zhao Ji close her eyes weakly, and there was no reason to doubt it.

"If this elixir can make me stay forever, he can look at me more, and it is worth it and it is worth it."

Grandma Sun's throat seemed to be rusty, so that she couldn't even spit out half a deceitful word.

The woman lying on the ground was still laughing stupidly: "Grandma Sun, help me up, this body is too dirty, I have to go and freshen up." ”

Grandma Sun held her cold hand, "Be careful, mother." ”

A group of palace maids came in from outside, and they changed the carpet in the luxurious dormitory with broken steps, and carefully scrubbed it clean.

Zhao Ji was still shivering in the quilt after washing, "Grandma Sun, I'm so tired." ”

Grandma Sun looked at her pale face, and her mouth moved: "That lady will rest first." ”

Zhao Ji shook his head: "It's night, he will come when it's time to turn on the lights, it's been seven days, he will see me once a week, and he will definitely come to see me today." ”

"Niangniang rest first, if Xiangguo comes, the slave will be informed."

"What if he sees me resting and can't bear to disturb me, and leaves without saying a word?"

Zhao Ji grabbed the quilt, "I won't even have a chance to make trouble with him then." ”

Mama Sun is not easy to persuade again, "The slave maid puts on the makeup of the mother, and the mother only needs to sleep on the bed." ”

Zhao Ji smiled: "Okay, this is a good way." ”

Zhao Ji was decorated with a pair of skillful hands, and she gently touched her lower abdomen, flat and empty.

It seems that you can still feel the pain of being completely dissected before.

Her heart tightened suddenly, and she was pulled from side to side like an iron hook.

"Mother, mother."

In the confusion, a chubby boy stumbled out of the corner of the hall, he stretched out his little finger and pointed at her belly, and cracked his mouth and smiled, "Belly, belly hurts." ”

Zhao Ji touched her stomach, but her hands were sticky and smelly blood.

The child didn't know when to climb up her beard and wanted to drill into her stomach, "Mother, belly, it's cold outside, it's so cold, I want to go back to my belly." ”

"I'm not your mother." Zhao Ji held her stomach to dodge, "Get out!" I'm not your mother. ”

"Mother, don't you want me anymore." The child's eyes were full of tears, and a crisp cry came out of his throat, "Mother, mother, mother." ”

He stretched out his lotus root-like arms to hug her, Zhao Ji was stunned, this feeling of blood connection made her feel soft.

She stretched out her hand to hug him, "Are you really my son?" ”

Unexpectedly, her hand touched the air, and Xiao Tong's seven orifices bled out, and the blood seemed to be gushing back into Zhao Ji's ears, and she watched a bloody flesh ball of flesh fall out of her lower abdomen.

"Ahh

Zhao Ji screamed.

She opened her eyes, only to find that she had fallen asleep at some point, she raised her hand to look at her palm, there was no blood, and lifted the futon to look at her stomach.

Flat and flat, empty.

"My son."
