Chapter 177: Dead on the Mountain
The expression on the face of the fourth imperial concubine was quite innocent, and it seemed that she really didn't know that Sheng Qingyuan didn't know about this matter.
The Fourth Imperial Concubine also seemed to react, with a deep embarrassment on her face, and hurriedly said, "I, I, I don't know that you really don't know about this."
As if feeling that the more she said, the more wrong she became, the fourth imperial concubine could only hurriedly find a way to remedy it, and comforted her: "Princess, don't worry so much, I believe that King Jing Jiren has his own natural appearance, and he will definitely be able to come back safe and sound."
These words fell on Sheng Qingyuan's ears, and it felt like if Shen Zhao wanted to come back alive, he could only rely on God's mercy and miracles.
Smooth cliffs.
Taken together, these two words can basically be equated with death.
Sheng Qingyuan took a sip of tea, took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and looked at the four imperial concubines with cold eyes: "Thank you to the four imperial concubines for coming to tell me about this."
Looking at Sheng Qingyuan's gloomy face, the fourth imperial concubine knew that what she said had successfully affected Sheng Qingyuan, and she couldn't help but feel a little proud in her heart.
Although she was a little proud, but when she met Sheng Qingyuan's eyes, the fourth imperial concubine felt that her limbs seemed to become cold all of a sudden, so that she didn't dare to look at Sheng Qingyuan's eyes anymore, and she casually found an excuse and left the side hall.
Sheng Qingyuan stayed alone in the side hall, constantly taking deep breaths, trying to calm his mood.
What the four imperial concubines said is not necessarily true, it is very likely that this is just a calculation of hers, and she can't be led by the nose by the four imperial concubines.
But no matter how hard she tried to convince herself in her heart, deep down she couldn't help but feel a lot of worry and nervousness.
In the end, Sheng Qingyuan couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, and his eyes turned black for a while.
Fortunately, Bai Lao arrived in time, so he hurriedly helped Sheng Qingyuan and gave her a quick needle.
Sheng Qingyuan felt that his physical strength had recovered a little, and his eyes were no longer black, but his heart was still very cold.
Bai Lao looked at Sheng Qingyuan's pale face, frowned and asked her, "Don't you let you have a good rest, don't think nonsense, what kind of mess are you thinking about?"
Sheng Qingyuan's eyes were full of worry, and he asked him, "Can you tell me if it is dangerous for him to go picking ice lotus?"
Listening to Sheng Qingyuan's question, Bai Lao's heart suddenly chuckled.
During this time, they kept emphasizing that it was easy to pick ice lotus, but why was she so elegant?
Bai Lao stiffened his head, tried to maintain his composure and calmly replied, "Naturally, there will be no danger, if there is danger, then there will not be so many people willing to pick the ice lotus."
"Isn't it because so many people are willing to go because the pay is so good?" Sheng Qingyuan asked him rhetorically.
"This... Of course, there will be such a reason, after all, the royal family has a large demand for ice lotus, and if there are not enough people to go, I am afraid that there will not be enough ice lotus." Bai Lao continued to explain.
"But don't you think it's too much?" Sheng Qingyuan asked rhetorically with a bit of sarcasm.
Bai Lao struggled to explain, "Picking ice lotus is not a difficult task, if there is anything difficult, it is that the location where the ice lotus grows is very arbitrary. So, if someone who is unlucky goes, he may not be able to get out for a long time. On the other hand, if you are lucky, you may be able to get a full harvest in less than an hour or two."
"Ice Lotus grows in a very random location, so Ice Lotus also grows on smooth cliffs?" Sheng Qingyuan continued to ask rhetorically.
Listening to Sheng Qingyuan's words, it was impossible for Bai Lao to pretend that he didn't understand anything, and he knew that Sheng Qingyuan must have already known something.
"I don't know." Bai Lao said.
Seeing that Sheng Qingyuan had been looking at him, Bai Lao knew that this matter could no longer be hidden, so he sighed helplessly and said, "There is indeed a certain danger in picking ice lotus, but it is not as dangerous as you think, every time you can pick ice lotus smoothly and safely
There are not a few who have returned."
"This is not the time for the ice lotus to grow." Sheng Qingyuan said again.
Bai Lao opened his mouth, and after meeting Sheng Qingyuan's eyes, he had to return to his stomach with all the words of defense, sighed very helplessly, and said, "Your Majesty has arranged for him a guide who is most familiar with the situation on the mountain, and it will be fine."
"It's the third day now." Sheng Qingyuan's lips trembled slightly.
Bai Lao still wanted to continue to appease, but looking at her reddish eyes, Bai Lao didn't know how to appease.
Because, even he was not sure if Shen Zhao would come back alive.
"That's the apprentice I trained myself, he will definitely come back smoothly and safely, you don't have to worry." Meng Kun's voice suddenly rang out.
Sheng Qingyuan saw Meng Kun's appearance, and he suddenly couldn't hold back his tears.
Meng Kun cried when he saw Sheng Qingyuan, and subconsciously looked at Bai Lao at a loss.
What to do, he never knew how to deal with such a thing.
Bai Lao had no choice but to spread his hands.
How does he know what to do?
If there is any way to appease Sheng Qingyuan's current situation, the best way, and the only useful way, is to let Shen Zhao immediately appear in front of Sheng Qingyuan.
Meng Kun glanced at Bai Lao, and he knew that with such a bad old man, what could he do? It's good not to mess around.
Looking at the disgust in Meng Kun's eyes, Bai Lao rolled his eyes angrily.
"What you need to do now is not think so much, take care of your own body first, if you break down your own body before that kid comes back, then won't all his hard work and efforts be in vain?" Meng Kun said to Sheng Qingyuan.
Sheng Qingyuan pursed her lips, there was no objection, but she could also see that she was already trying to adjust her emotions.
Meng Kun said again, "You go out for a good walk and relax."
Facing the disapproving eyes of Shang Bai Lao, Meng Kun waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "If you only know how to stay in the room every day, how can you not think nonsense? If you continue like this, you will get sicker."
These words made Bai Lao unable to refute, and looked at Sheng Qingyuan: "This bad old man has a little truth, why don't you go out for a walk first?" It also takes care of your body."
"Okay." Sheng Qingyuan took a deep breath and said.
Although she was still very panicked in her heart, she couldn't help but worry about Shen Zhao's situation all the time.
But she knew that Meng Kun was right, Shen Zhao risked her life to pick ice lotus for her, if she didn't take good care of her body, then she would be sorry for him.
Seeing that Sheng Qingyuan was willing to go out for a walk, Bai Lao's heart was slightly relieved.
After Sheng Qingyuan went out for a stroll accompanied by the palace people, Meng Kun said, "You take care of Sheng girl, I'll go to that kid and bring it back."
Bai Lao immediately looked disapproving, "How can you go there? You don't want to die? Have you forgotten what happened more than ten years ago?"
Rao is as calm and calm as Meng Kun, and when he mentioned the incident more than ten years ago, his face changed uncontrollably.
"I'm just such an apprentice, if he hangs in that place, once it spreads, do I still want to be a human being? I can't afford to lose this person anyway." After Meng Kun finished speaking, he prepared to go up the mountain.
Bai Lao hurriedly called out to him and stuffed more than ten or twenty bottles of medicine into his arms.
Meng Kun looked at the medicine in his arms, and the corners of his mouth twitched and said, "What do you mean by this?"
"Don't die on it." Bai Lao only said this, and then simply threw up his sleeves and left.
Meng Kun looked at these medicines, although he was very disgusted that it would be troublesome, but his heart was still warm after all, "Don't worry, I will definitely bring that kid back alive."
When Sheng Qingyuan went to relax, he kept trying to tell himself that he should stop thinking about this matter, he must believe in Shen Zhao, believe that he can, and believe that he will definitely come back alive.
But if he doesn't show up for a day, she won't be able to completely let go of her heart for a day.
Suddenly, an external force hit her fiercely, and the palace people hurriedly supported Sheng Qingyuan.
Sheng Qingyuan's eyes turned white for a while, and the palace people stood for a while before he came to his senses, and only then did he see what was going on in front of him.
What just hit her was a little girl who looked five or six years old, the little girl was dressed very well, and combined with the dress of the woman next to her, it was about the palace maid of which concubine.
"Who are you? Why didn't I know how to salute when I saw the concubine and the seventh princess?" The concubine's personal palace maid questioned Sheng Qingyuan.
The seventh princess was still holding a short small leather whip in her hand, and when she raised her hand, she was about to wave it towards Sheng Qingyuan.
Sheng Qingyuan's eyes lit up, and he easily grasped the small whip in the hand of the seventh princess.
A little girl a few years old, the force of the swing is not much.
The seventh princess wanted to get her little whip back, but Sheng Qingyuan kept holding it, and at such a young age, there was no way for her to get her little whip back from Sheng Qingyuan's hand.
The seventh princess exerted her strength to breastfeed, and finally Sheng Qingyuan's hand was loosened, and the seventh princess sat directly on the ground, and then began to cry.
The concubine helped the seventh princess up for the first time, and then hurriedly comforted.
The seventh princess pointed at Sheng Qingyuan while crying and said, "Woo woo woo Woo Woo Mother This bad woman bullied me, you help me kill her, kill her."
Listening to the age of the seventh princess, she wanted to kill someone as soon as she opened her mouth.
The education of this concubine was also a real success.
"Wantonly kill innocents, and when they die, they will go to hell." Sheng Qingyuan said to the Seventh Princess in a cold voice.
was such a simple sentence, but the seventh princess, who was arrogant just now, was immediately so frightened that she hid behind the concubine.
Concubine Xi asked Sheng Qingyuan with a cold face, "She's just a child, why did the princess curse her like this?"
"I'm just stating a fact to her, that's all." Sheng Qingyuan said in a cold voice.
"You're presumptuous!!" Concubine Xi said angrily, "Come on, bring her down for me!!"
However, after the concubine's words were finished, no one wanted to step forward.
How long has it been since the incident with Concubine Shu happened? Look at the book
They haven't forgotten what happened to the people who helped Concubine Shu kill Princess Jing last time.
They were even asked to go to the execution ground to watch their execution, in order to warn everyone in the palace not to try to harm Sheng Qingyuan.
"This palace can't call you now, can you?!" When the concubine heard this, she said angrily, and then she circled everyone and said, "What are you afraid of, her prince has already died on the mountain, what else is there to be afraid of!"
"What did you say?!" Sheng Qingyuan finally came to his senses, and after listening to the words of the concubine, he felt that there was a burst of blackness in front of him.
