Chapter 120
Five days have passed in the blink of an eye, and there is still no movement on the queen's side.
Xu Guifei couldn't wait, thinking that Chu Luan had miscalculated, so she called someone to punish her again.
Xu Guifei has been targeting Chu Luan more and more frequently recently, and even Ziluo can't stand it, "I think that Xu Guifei is deliberately making things difficult for Miss Xu on this plan!"
Who's to say it isn't.
But Chu Luan didn't care, "It's okay, when I finish this matter, she won't be able to make things difficult for me anymore." ”
It's not that it won't, it's that it can't.
However, she was as witty as Chu Luan, and she didn't expect that the first person to find her was not the queen, but the former princess Xiu - Liu Suyuan.
"Why did my sister remember me today?" Chu Luan beckoned Liu Suyuan to take a seat, "Ziluo, look at the tea." ”
Liu Suyuan took a sip of tea, her brows furrowed slightly and quickly stretched, she didn't expect that this Yue Changqing was really not welcomed, even the queen's personal palace maid didn't drink this kind of tea, and she was embarrassed to take it out to entertain guests.
Chu Luan keenly took the other party's reaction into his eyes, and pretended to ask unintentionally, "This tea is not to my sister's taste?" said, ashamed again, "Although I am the crown princess, I can't take out a good thing, which really makes my sister laugh." ”
Liu Suyuan listened to her initiative to complain, and also pretended to care, "My sister is suffering in the palace?" ”
Chu Luan looked at her and wanted to speak, but seemed to be full of grievances and unable to speak.
Liu Suyuan took the opportunity to greet her sister and sister, and left some of the best silk she brought, "I don't need these left and right, let's give them to my sister, my sister is young and beautiful, if you can wear this good Shu brocade, you will be able to pull the heart of His Royal Highness the Prince back." ”
Chu Luan also showed great gratitude, and after the people left, he still talked about Liu Suyuan's kindness and thoughtfulness in front of people for a while.
At night, after everyone had fallen asleep, Zi Luo whispered to Chu Luan to discuss the next plan, "Miss, the queen has made it clear that she is sending Princess Xiu to test it, what should we do next?" ”
"Next, we just need to make one word, 'Wait'. When they show their fox tails, it's time for us to strike. "Responding to change with the same is the truth that the teacher taught her.
I really can't imagine that one day she will use the methods taught to her by her teacher in such a place. Chu Luan smiled bitterly in his heart.
For a long time, Liu Suyuan came to visit Chu Luan almost every day, complaining to each other every day for two days, and unknowingly thought that they had really become Jinlan sisters.
All these turning points were on that day because of Chu Luan's close relationship with Princess Xiu, so she casually found a reason to punish her severely.
When Liu Suyuan heard the wind coming, she saw Chu Luan kneeling in the courtyard and shedding tears.
Zhu'er next to her reminded her that Chu Luan had been kneeling here for two hours.
Liu Suyuan completely believed the news of the discord between Chu Luan and Xu Guifei, forcibly suppressed the happiness in her heart, squeezed out two tears, and rushed to ask Chu Luan for an explanation. Chu Luan naturally stopped the other party as if he was pretentious.
"Sister, it's useless! The mother concubine didn't like me to associate with you, and if you go to her this time, I will be punished even more. ”
"Then let's go to the Queen Mother! She is the master of the harem, and with her supporting you, Xu Guifei doesn't dare to come nonsense! Liu Suyuan proposed.
"The Queen Mother?" Chu Luan hesitated a little, "But the crown prince is not the queen's mother, will she make the decision for me?" Even if she makes the decision for me and lets the prince know, what should I do? As he spoke, the tears fell even more, and the whole person trembled slightly from emotion, "The prince doesn't like me in the first place, he knows that I am against my mother, and he will definitely not let me go!" ”
Liu Suyuan looked at Chu Luan's sad appearance with no way out, and she couldn't help but be emotional, her eyes were red, and she patiently comforted, "No, you believe me, I will definitely help you." ”
Every time Chu Luan saw the queen, he would think of the pain that she and Murong Xiu had put on him. She lied to Wei Li, and even after so many years, she still couldn't let go. She is not a saint, why should she let go.
Even though the hatred in his heart was about to be hidden, Chu Luan still saluted respectfully, "Erchen has seen the queen mother." ”
The queen didn't go around the bend with Chu Luan, and went straight to the point to explain her intentions, "I heard about you, the crown princess is suffering in the palace." Hongu can help you. ”
Chu Luan's eyes dodged, as if he didn't dare to look at the queen's eyes, and glanced in the direction of the door several times.
The queen and Liu Suyuan glanced at each other, Liu Suyuan understood, and stepped forward to comfort Chu Luan, "Chang Qing, don't be afraid, the queen mother and I won't harm you, as long as you are on our side, we will help you." ”
Only then did Chu Luan settle down and asked, "I don't know what the queen mother wants her son to do?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the queen's personal maid presented a small medicine bottle.
The queen explained, "This is Jiusha pollen, if you put this in the daily food of Xu Guifei and the prince, ordinary people will not pay attention to it at all, as long as they take it, you will soon be free." ”
Nine brake pollen ...... Nine brake pollen!
Chu Luan was about to lose control of his emotions.
How could the queen have such a thing? ...... year The Gu poison in her body was also done by her?
Liu Suyuan thought that Chu Luan didn't dare, so she was frightened, and hurriedly coaxed, "Don't worry, this nine-brake pollen will not be fatal, it just makes them weak for a while." When they get sick, the entire East Palace will be up to you. ”
If she hadn't dealt with Jiusha Flower a long time ago, she might have believed it.
Nine brake flowers...... Something highly poisonous, the poison of the Nine Brake Flower will make people lose their sense of pain at first. After three days, the Nine Brakes will quickly wither, and the poisoned person will also feel the pain at the last moment of their lives. These are all things that Yunu told her.
She has also been plagued by this poison for many years, and she never thought that she would be able to see this thing again after the teacher passed away.
Chu Luan didn't say whether he believed it or not, he took the medicine bottle first, looked at the white medicine powder in the bottle, and chuckled, "Since it is the order of the queen mother, the son obeys the order." ”
The queen was very satisfied with Chu Luan's performance in knowing current affairs, and promised her that no matter what happened, she would keep Chu Luan.
"Then Chang Qing has thanked his mother first." Chu Luan made a big salute, his eyes shining with cold light.
Shen Yue didn't care much about Chu Luan's performance, after all, a dying person was not worth her care about at all.
Next, just wait for Chu Luan's news. If she succeeds, just push the matter to her; If she hadn't done it, she wouldn't have let her live again.
Even Zi Luo saw this truth, "This is obviously a dead end, Xu Guifei will definitely not help us, the queen has made up her mind to let us be substitutes for the dead." Why don't we tell His Highness the Crown Prince about this?"
In the past five years, Chu Luan has been wandering around alone, even if she is by Mr. Chang's side, she is still working every day, and there is no one around her who knows cold and hot, and now she and Zi Luo have only known each other for a few months, but the other party cares about her so much, whether it is true or false, Chu Luan has recorded her kindness.
She played with the medicine bottle in her hand, "Dead...... It's not that easy to want my life. ”
After Chu Luan finished speaking, he casually took out another identical bottle from his arms and threw it to Ziluo, "Tomorrow you want to find a way to put this in the meal, and be sure to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Xu Guifei eat it." After speaking, he instructed again, "Be careful and don't leave any clues." ”
"But don't you have to show it to the queen's people?"
"No, as long as they want to know, there is a way. You deliberately make people find out, but it will lead to suspicion. ”
Zi Luo said that he knew, but he was still afraid of the real poison, "Then do you want to destroy it......
Chu Luan didn't say anything, but asked Zi Luo to cover up for her in the room.
"Miss is going out of the palace?"
"Just looking for an old friend." Chu Luan changed into the clothes of a palace maid and slipped out when there was no one outside the palace.
The King's Mansion –
Murong Jin was practicing calligraphy in the study, Qin Yuan was serving on the side, and the two did not communicate with each other during the whole process. The atmosphere in the room was suffocating.
It wasn't until Nanshan came to knock on the door that Qin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Lord Wang, someone asks to see you."
The corners of Murong Jin's lips hooked slightly, and he said softly, "I'm back." ”
After Murong Jin left, Qin Yuan stepped forward curiously to see what he had written. I saw the word "Luan" written on the snow-white rice paper.
When Murong Jin came to the front hall, he saw a woman dressed as a palace person standing in the center of the main hall.
Although he only saw the back of the other party, Murong Jin knew that the person in front of him was the person who haunted him day and night.
"Wenjun, you're back."
The woman turned around, and it was Chu Luan's appearance, which was the same as five years ago. Time always favors beauties, even if Chu Luan has experienced five years of exile, he is still beautiful.
"Your Highness, don't come unharmed." Chu Luan saluted Murong Jin.
It turned out that it was not only Wei Li who recognized Chu Luan, but Murong Jin also recognized Chu Luan. was just afraid that Chu Luan's identity would be exposed, so he didn't dare to recognize him. can only wait for Chu Luan to take the initiative to come to him.
I haven't seen her for five years, and Murong Jin also has a lot of things to say to her, but it's a pity that Chu Luan's departure from the palace this time is urgent, and she finally got rid of those "tails" and can't stay in the palace for a long time.
Without further ado, Chu Luan hurriedly said the purpose of this trip, "Your Highness, I came here this time to find a way to bring down the queen and Xu Guifei, but I still need His Highness to help me." ”
Murong Jin didn't have the slightest doubt, and directly asked her what she needed to do.
"I need Qi Han to develop an antidote to the Nine Brakes Flower Poison for me." Chu Luan roughly described the ins and outs of the matter to Murong Jin.
Murong Jin didn't express much shock, but was worried about another thing, "Wen Jun plans to risk his life?" "Taking Nine Brake Pollen?
Chu Luan said that although the Nine Brakes Flower Poison was highly toxic, it was not enough to kill her within three days as rumored, but the antidote needed to be developed within two days, so as not to arouse suspicion on the day of the poison.
Murong Jin was relieved to hear that Chu Luan's life would not be in danger for the time being, and immediately sent Nanshan to urge Qi Han to develop an antidote.
Chu Luan came today, in addition to this matter, he also wanted to see the old people in the past, "Speaking of which, when His Royal Highness and Kite got married, Chu Luan didn't have time to congratulate him, I don't know how Kite has been doing all these years?" ”
Although Murong Jin didn't like Qin Kite, and she married her to take advantage of Qin Hai, she had indeed never treated the other party badly over the years, and she stood up for Qin Kite at the banquet several times, which can be regarded as fulfilling her duty as a husband.
Qin Yuan's heart is not with Murong Jin, and naturally she doesn't ask the other party to be single-minded about her or anything, the two can be regarded as respectful of each other.
After Chu Luan heard this, although he didn't like Qin Yuan to be so wronged by himself, this was indeed the best arrangement. and no more.
"I met Luoyin when I left the palace a few days ago, but I didn't expect her to grow so tall." When Chu Luan talked about Luoyin, his heart was inevitably filled with bitterness.
Regarding Luoyin's affairs, although Murong Jin is not meticulous, he does take good care of her, but it is a pity that he is often busy with political affairs, and Qin Yuan and Zhixia pity her for having no father and mother, so it is inevitable that she will be doted on. It was only then that Luoyin grew into the character she is today. Murong Jin was afraid that she would suffer a loss, so she also raised a small flower mink for her, which was a playmate and could protect her.
Luoyin has become like this, Chu Luan himself also has an unshirkable responsibility, and it is impossible to blame others.
"Wenjun, there is something I don't know how to tell you." Murong Jin looked at Chu Luan's face.
Chu Luan rarely joked with her, "I haven't seen you for five years, when did Your Highness also separate from Chu Luan?" ”
On the way back to the palace, Chu Luan was in a state of confusion, and his mind kept recalling what Murong Jin said.
"Back then, after you left the capital, everyone suspected that I planned the death of the imperial brother, and in order to get rid of the suspicion, I had to inform Wei Li of the hiding place of the old national teacher, and they ...... They were all executed by order of their father. The only ones I can save in the end are Zhixia and Ruyi. ”
"But in the past few years, I have heard from Kite that she often sees Ruyi going out alone, and I specially asked Nanshan to follow her for a period of time and found that she is now working for the Yong'an Palace. Ah Luan, after all, she is your person, and I can't handle it well, so I've turned a blind eye all these years, just waiting for you to come back and deal with this matter personally. ”
Now, she really doesn't know who to blame. Blame Murong Jin's situation, blame Weili's selflessness, or blame Ruyi's choice of another master?
Perhaps, the most blameworthy is herself, it is the kindness and self-righteousness of the woman she has always been, which finally led to the current situation.
