Chapter 537 She Wants to See (4000 Words)
Kunning Palace.
Chen Man stood in front of the window, looking up at the sky outside through the open window, listening intently to the tsunami-like shouts of killing from the mountains.
It was the most beautiful voice she'd heard in all these years.
Someone really reversed.
It turned out that the "chaos" that Emperor Qingming said was even more serious than he imagined.
No matter who that person is, after all, he is here to do the right thing for heaven. Emperor Qingming has no way, and it is finally time for him to be retributed.
Mai Dong came in with a plate of freshly made snacks and put them on the low table on the couch, "Queen Mother, you can taste the freshly made peach blossom cake." ”
Chen Man didn't look back, still looking outside, and said softly, "Mai Dong, have you ever thought about what the days outside this world are like?" ”
Mai Dong was stunned, "The slave didn't think about it. ”
Her parents are in the hands of the emperor, and she has long dared not think about the days outside. She just wants to be able to accompany the queen in this world to live her life safely, and to protect the safety of her relatives outside the palace in this life.
Chen Man sighed, "It's me who has caused you." ”
Mai Dong shook his head, "The slave doesn't dare." Being able to serve the queen is a blessing for slaves. ”
"Blessing?" Chen Man smiled, raised his hand in front of Mai Dong, and patted her shoulder gently, "Silly girl, who wants this kind of blessing?" ”
Mai Dong only felt a burst of fragrance in front of her, like a hundred flowers blooming in front of her, more and more, more and more, so much that it covered her eyes.
"Mother, you ......"
When Mai Dong noticed that something was wrong, her body had fallen to the ground softly, and Chen Man helped her and slowly put her on the ground.
Chen Man has no extra strength.
Chen Man picked up a white porcelain jar, took a silver spoon and dug up the incense powder and put it into the incense burner, and unhurriedly beat the incense seal and lit the incense.
In the same way, she lit five incense burners and placed them in several halls.
The incense in the hall is curling, and the aroma is strong.
Chen Man calmly looked at the light smoke that spread beautifully, waiting for them to smoke the entire palace with a pleasant aroma.
The Invincible Daoist once said that she was quite talented in using poison, and he had the intention of taking her as a disciple. In fact, she just liked all kinds of spices and herbs, which in her hands were wonderfully transformed into all kinds of aromas, and had different wonderful uses.
Almost.
Chen Man slowly got up and walked out of the main hall with his feet raised, the shouting outside seemed to be louder, and the dark sky was shaking.
She really wanted to see what the outside of this world looked like.
She also wanted to see if the Dingguo Mansion was still as empty as before, and it didn't have the grandeur of the Guogong Mansion at all. Even if she has endless silver in her hand, she doesn't dare to add things to the house, lest her mother-in-law say that she is extravagant and wasteful. She is a businesswoman and has always been looked down upon.
She still wants to see Grandpa Guo, but she doesn't know if he has married a stepfamily. She must be married, right? I don't know which lady the woman is, I think she must have been born in a family, quite virtuous and gentle. The young lady of the family in the capital has been well-educated since she was a child, and she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she will not be looked down upon because of her family background, and even the grandfather of the country will be angry.
She also wanted to see her son Sixing, but she didn't know if he had a wife. He is already in the age of weak crowns, and his stepmother is the wife he chooses?
She also wanted to see her daughter, Youning. Youning is the most reassuring for her, Youning has never seen her mother in her life, and she is the most pitiful.
Chen Man walked to the gate of the palace step by step.
She opened the heavy deadbolt and opened with her own hands the door that had held her for seventeen years.
The guards outside the door looked at her, and when they saw that it was the queen who came out, surprise flashed in their eyes, and they bowed, "Queen Mother." It's chaotic outside, so you'd better go back to the palace. ”
The guards didn't know who was rebelling, but listening to the posture, there were a lot of soldiers and horses. I don't know if there will be a change of dynasty in the end. Subconsciously, they want the other person to win.
But Emperor Qingming's prestige is too heavy, even at this time, the guards still meticulously carry out Emperor Qingming's orders.
"Mai Dong is fainting." Chen Man said, "Come in and see what's going on." ”
The two guards hesitated, where was the Kunning Palace where they could enter.
"Miss Mai Dong is not feeling well? Otherwise, send someone to ask a doctor to come and take a look. ”
Chen Man looked in the direction of Qianqing Palace and said lightly, "At this time, do you think you still have the ability to invite the imperial doctor over?" ”
At this time, the palace must have been full of soldiers and horses, and if it was an ordinary guard, it might not be able to walk to the hospital.
The guards were silent for a moment, and one of them said, "Send a few more people over, and there will always be a way to invite the imperial doctor over." ”
Chen Man secretly sighed, in order to carry out the emperor's order, they really did not hesitate to pay the price of human lives.
"The palace was resting in the dormitory, and when I heard movement in the outer hall, I came out and saw Mai Dong lying on the ground, and the palace was worried that someone had sneaked into the Kunning Palace."
As soon as the queen said this, the two guards showed different colors, could it be that a master sneaked into Kunning Palace?
Although the queen is fine now, there is no reason for the thief to only attack a servant girl, but they still dare not take it lightly.
Especially now is the time for the palace change, in case the traitor has another plan and wants to use the queen to hold the emperor hostage.
At this time, the Qianqing Palace was already fighting, and they couldn't go to ask the emperor, if the queen had an accident......
After weighing the two, they finally decided to send one of them into the Kunning Palace to check it out.
Entering the main hall, Mai Dong was in the west room, Chen Man turned the screen and pointed to Mai Dong on the ground, "Look at it, there is no response to how the palace calls her." ”
From the moment the guards entered the main hall, they felt that the fragrance in the hall was strong and exceptionally pleasant.
The queen is good at incense, which is known to everyone in the harem. The incense on Mai Dong's body has never been broken, and it will change differently every once in a while. I didn't expect the incense in the queen's palace to smell even better.
The guard gathered his thoughts, bowed to the queen, and squatted down to check.
Mai Dong was fine, there were no signs of fighting, no external injuries, normal breathing, normal heartbeat, it looked like he was sleepy and fell asleep.
The guard's first thought was the sweat medicine, but although Mai Dong had kung fu, he was not too strong, so why did that person act so tortuously?
Doubts appeared in the guard's eyes.
"Is there anything wrong with Mai Dong?" Chen Man asked.
"Back to Niangniang, Miss Mai Dong is fine, but ......"
Chen Man said, "Could that person still be hiding in the palace?" ”
There is also this possibility, since the queen has proposed it, for the sake of safety, the guards still plan to search the palace.
He checked the five halls one by one, and although the aroma in the hall smelled good, it was really too sweet and greasy, and people couldn't help but feel sleepy......
The guard thought so, and when he was alert, he had no power to resist, and his consciousness began to drift.
In a dim light, he saw the queen crouching in front of him.
"It seems that the effect of the medicine is still a little weaker...... Gotta increase the amount......"
……
Chen Man increased the amount of the drug in the smoker.
She went out of Kunning Palace again, and this time there was uneasiness in her expression, "When he searched the palace, he also fell. There was no one in the main palace. ”
The guard guarding outside the door flashed with surprise in his eyes, those who could guard at the gate of Kunning Palace were all first-class in the guards of the Imperial Forest Army, but they could be quietly attacked?
Is the other party going to lead them in one by one, and then break them down individually?
After thinking about it, he finally looked at Sang Yuan who was standing aside, "Guard Sang, look...... Why don't you go in and have a look with the lowly office? ”
Sang Yuan is the emperor's close guard, quite trusted by the emperor, and has been sent by the emperor to protect the queen these days. If he is allowed to go in together, first, he will have a good martial arts position, and second, if something happens, Sang Yuan's grade will be higher than him, and he should bear the brunt of the blame.
Sang Yuan held his sword, his face cold, "What, you want to find a scapegoat?" ”
The guards sneered, why didn't they think Sang Yuan had such a ability to see through people's hearts before?
Also, I always feel that Sang Yuan's glance at him is quite unkind......
"The Sang guard laughed, and he didn't dare to ...... his duties."
Sang Yuan snorted coldly, "Let's go!" ”
The two followed Chen Man into Kunning Palace.
Sang Yuan-Su Bai looked at the queen's plain white clothes and couldn't help frowning.
It seems that she is about to act.
When Chen Man went out of the palace, he smelled the aroma on her body, her ability to make drugs was indeed passed on by the old Taoist, and even the magic and medicine could be made, and it smelled so good.
No wonder the old Taoist priest always disliked him, shook his head and said, "Your talent is mediocre." ”
It means that compared to Chen Man, his talent is mediocre.
Entering the main hall, the guards checked the two people who fell to the ground in turn, and before they could speak, their faces changed drastically, and they suddenly got up.
But it was too late, his consciousness had begun to blur, Rao was trying to hold on, and finally fell to the ground and passed out.
Chen Man didn't feel happy after he succeeded.
She looked at Sang Yuan in shock.
He had come in about the same time as the guard, but he was conscious and looking at her with his arms around his chest and a smile.
Su Bai said with a smile, "Niangniang is wondering, why didn't I faint, right?" ”
"You...... Do you know about drugs? ”
"Yes. Understand that. ”
Chen Man was desperate in his heart, and after all, he fell short.
She was confident, even if the imperial doctor came, even if she noticed that there was something wrong with this incense, she would not have time to react and detoxify.
Her rigpa was infallible.
But she did a lot of calculations, but she didn't realize that this guard who was temporarily sent over knew poison techniques, and his level of poison seemed to be even higher than hers, so she easily evaded her calculations.
She sat weakly on a chair beside her and said softly, "Go and tell your master." ”
"There's no hurry."
Su Bai paced over to the two guards and slashed a knife at each of their necks to let them sleep a little longer.
After that, she walked to sit down opposite her under Chen Man's puzzled gaze, and he opened the lid of the purple gold incense burner on the side of the high table, "I didn't use foreign gold flowers, I didn't use grass black, but you can match such a good incense, no wonder the invincible Dao Master dislikes my mediocre qualifications." ”
Chen Man looked at Su Bai quietly, "This palace doesn't understand what you say, it's just that you, a guard, are really rude to sit down in front of this palace so blatantly." ”
She was shocked and feared that her true identity would be revealed.
She didn't want anyone to know that she was Chen Man, and she was Chen Man, the Duchess of Dingguo.
Su Bai put down the lid of the smoker, looked at Chen Man Zhengse and said, "Duke Dingguo has never remarried, he has been looking for you." Madame, you can't die. ”
Zhao Chengyuan sent him a letter that day, saying that Chen Man's final revenge would be to die with Emperor Qingming, and the timing she chose was very likely to be on the day of the palace change.
He was also slandered, how could Zhao Chengyuan be more divine than the old Taoist, how would people retaliate, and when they would retaliate, they could not know the prophet?
But today, when the palace changed, the queen began to act, and Zhao Chengyuan was right. No wonder the old Taoist priest and the master of Xuanzhi are scrambling to take Zhao Chengyuan into the door, this kid has talent for everything.
As soon as Su Bai's words came out, Chen Man's face changed suddenly, and his originally pale face became even paler.
Her lips trembled, and she muttered for a long time, but she could not speak.
Grandpa Guo knew that she was still alive and had been looking for her...... But she looks like a ghost now, how can she still be treated like this by Grandpa Guo!
Su Bai continued, "Madame's daughter is married to the King of Jin, and it is the Lord of Jin and the Duke of Dingguo who will raise the army tonight. Dingguo Gong defeated Emperor Qingming outside the city with 50,000 dragon guards, and was invincible. The prince and the Dingguo Guild win, and the lady will get out of here well. Dingguo Gong, Shizi, and Princess Jin, they are all waiting for their wife. ”
Su Bai was vague and did not say whether Duke Bai Dingguo knew that the queen was Chen Man, but created an atmosphere of Duke Dingguo being angry at the crown.
Sure enough, when these words were heard in Chen Man's ears, she took it for granted that Grandpa Guo already knew that the current queen was his wife. With the character of the grandfather of the country, it is reasonable for him to rebel.
But since Grandpa Guo knows that she has been with Emperor Qingming for more than ten years, he should know that she is no longer the Chen Man he was back then.
Chen Man trembled, she didn't dare to imagine Grandpa Guo's anger after knowing the truth, nor did she dare to imagine how Grandpa Guo would face her innocent wife after avenging his wife.
Chen Man's voice was hoarse, and he looked at Su Bai and said, "Although I don't know who you are, but since you can be sent to Kunning Palace by Emperor Qingming, you must have some ability." I want to go to Fenglou and watch Emperor Qingming's defeat there, you send me over, okay? ”
Su Bai frowned, "Fenglou? ”
He began to suspect that Zhao Chengyuan was cultivating immortals, and he had already learned something.
Zhao Chengyuan said that the queen is very likely to go to Fenglou.
The person who came to deliver the message didn't say whether to let her go, but Su Bai felt that Chen Man should leave Kunning Palace. This palace has trapped her for more than ten years, and it is probably the place she hates the most. If she is allowed to meet Dingguo Gong here, it will definitely be a matter of life and death for her.
Su Bai was not sure if Chen Man had dispelled the idea of burning the jade, although he took the risk, but after a short hesitation, he still agreed to her.
"Okay, I'll take you."
Chen Man was a little surprised, she thought that she would have to spend a lot of words to convince him.
The two did not delay, and soon left Kunning Palace.
Two guards of the Imperial Forest Army have been automatically replenished outside the gate of Kunning Palace, standing at the door and guarding.
Seeing that the guard did not come out, they looked uneasy.
Su Bai looked at them expressionlessly, "It's not safe in Kunning Palace, I'm afraid someone has mixed in." The emperor gave me a verbal message, if the situation was not good, he would quietly take the queen to Fenglou, where there was a safe hiding place. ”
The guards were suspicious of the situation in the Kunning Palace, and they were not clear about the situation in the Qianqing Palace, so they let them release them rashly, if the emperor pursued them afterwards, they could not afford this responsibility.
But if the decree is true, they cannot afford to resist it.
The guards were still hesitating, and then they saw Wu Jian coming from the shadows.
He glanced at the guards blocking the way, "Pass on the emperor's edict that the miscellaneous family and the Sang guards will escort the queen to Fenglou." ”
With the chief eunuch in front of the emperor coming forward, the guards no longer had any doubts and released them happily.
Wu Jian bowed to Chen Man, "Niangniang, please." ”
Ahh
I finally saved up a chapter, and finally I couldn't help but send it out!
These two chapters add up to nearly 9,000 words!
