Chapter 115: Xiao Niangniang is critically ill (second update, 10,000 words for subscription)
"Ah, this ......"
Li Xuan thought that Bai Niangniang was just going to tell him some of the little secrets of the harem Niangniang.
For example, which lady will have her menstrual affairs twice a month, which lady does not like to wear obscene clothes, or which lady actually likes women, etc.
These days.
Every time Li Xuan comes, he can hear some gossip from the mouth of the white lady, and he doesn't know whether it's true or not, so it's a pastime.
I never thought that this time the White Lady would confide in such exciting news.
The emperor Lao'er can't do that?
Is there a mistake?!
If that aspect really doesn't work, why do you have to pay a concubine every year?
Is it for the sake of being able to get by on your own face?!
Or is it that this white lady is just hearsay, and she doesn't know if this news is true or not.
Seeing Li Xuan's suspicious look, Bai Niangniang was a little unhappy.
What she hates the most is when she gossips, and others question her.
"Hmph, I'm not groundless, take me as an example, I entered the palace five years ago, but until I was demoted to the cold palace, I haven't seen the emperor." The White Lady snorted lightly.
This coquettish hum reveals a bit of mature charm.
So, are you still in perfect shape...... Li Xuan looked at Bai Niangniang quietly, sighed in his heart, and said with some curiosity:
"If Your Majesty really can't do that, then why does Your Majesty admit you into the harem?"
"Who said that the emperor accepted it, since the death of the queen mother in the sixth year of Tianyuan, the emperor seems to have begun to indulge in cultivation, and rarely asks about court matters, and many things in the harem are also presided over by the queen with full powers, including concubines for the emperor." Bai Niangniang said, "The queen saw that I drew a good talisman at that time, so she said that she would ask the emperor to make me a concubine Ning, and I have never seen the emperor from beginning to end." ”
Tian Yuan refers to the name of the current Emperor Qian.
The current Emperor Qian is the sixth emperor of the Great Qian.
As for Concubine Ning, it can be regarded as a kind of position for concubines, from top to bottom, they are imperial concubine, noble concubine, virtuous concubine, lady concubine, Hui concubine, Kang concubine, and Ning concubine.
Bai Niangniang was named Concubine Ning, which is enough to see that her own status is not high.
For example, Luo Niangniang is the daughter of Luo Wenzhong, the former cabinet minister, and she started as an imperial concubine.
There are also Duanmu Niangniang and Xiao Niangniang, both of whom are also concubines.
Li Xuan's eyes flashed slightly: "In other words, Your Majesty hasn't been in the harem for twenty years?" ”
He only knew that the current emperor was obsessed with monasticism and rarely asked about court affairs, but he didn't know when it started.
Now listening to Bai Niangniang say this, it seems that it has started in the sixth year of Tianyuan.
And now, it's twenty-six years since Tianyuan.
"I don't know about this, anyway, after I entered the palace, I haven't seen any concubines who have been lucky." The White Lady shook her head.
Li Xuan listened to Bai Niangniang's words, and his eyes lit up slightly.
According to what you say, aren't the concubines who have entered the palace in recent years, Duanmu Niangniang and other concubines still in perfect shape? !
Thinking of this, a trace of excitement rose out of thin air in Li Xuan's heart.
It's just that this throbbing was quickly suppressed by him.
What's more, whether they have been fortunate by the emperor or not, it's my business.
Lao Tzu is useless now, so I'm excited!
Bai Niangniang held up her glasses and tilted her head to look at Li Xuan: "Do you have a problem?" ”
"What's wrong with the small one." Li Xuan was stunned.
"I see excitement in your eyes, but what are you excited about?" Bai Niangniang sighed, "The emperor can't do that, can you do it?" ”
"......" Li Xuan was powerless to complain.
White lady, you really have no taboos, you were demoted to the cold palace, and you are really not wronged.
Li Xuan directly changed the topic: "In other words, I heard a lot of interesting news when I went out this time, do you want to hear it?" ”
"Say it quickly!"
The white lady looked impatient.
She is naturally fond of gossip, saying that gossip can increase her inspiration for drawing talismans.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have collected so many little secrets of the harem maiden.
However, since she was demoted to the palace, she could only learn a little gossip from some palace maids and eunuchs, which was too enjoyable.
Every time Li Xuan chatted about the news, it was interesting, which could satisfy her increasingly explosive thirst for knowledge.
Therefore, she is also willing to discuss some gossip with Li Xuan.
"Niangniang, you don't know, this time out, how dangerous the little experience is......"
Li Xuan chatted with Bai Niangniang.
He knew that this way was the best way to get closer to the White Lady.
It was with this method that Li Xuan made Bai Niangniang's favorability towards him increase to 90.
After satisfying the white lady's gossip thoughts.
Li Xuan left the palace and went to the area under the jurisdiction of his father-in-law, Gonggong Chen, wanting to meet Duanmu Niangniang and other concubines.
According to Shiyu, it should not be long before Duanmu Niangniang will leave the palace and return to Simon.
Li Xuan desperately hoped that Duanmu Niangniang's favorability towards him would quickly break through 100.
This way, he will be able to get special rewards.
This reward should not be worse than the mastery of divine skills.
Speaking of which, if Gonggong Chen knew that I had robbed him of the position of manager, I am afraid that he would be angry, hey, I don't want to. ’
Li Xuan sighed in his heart.
Previously, Gonggong Chen came to him twice, and he was secretly warning him not to grab the position of head this time.
Li Xuan really hadn't thought about this before.
However, with the unquestionable tone of the queen mother just now, if he dared to refuse, he was afraid that he would not even have to do anything.
"Forget it, Gonggong Chen just took a fancy to the money for the position of the manager, and the left and right are only one hundred taels of money, and the big deal is to give it to him when the time comes, anyway, I am not short of this money, and it can be regarded as a complete father-son relationship, but if he still doesn't know each other and dares to secretly make trouble with the wind and rain, then don't blame me for being ruthless!" ’
Li Xuan's martial arts strength has now reached the innate realm, and the divine soul realm has even reached the manifest realm.
In terms of mentality, there has been a great change from before.
In dealing with problems, there is no need to be cautious and trembling as in the past.
Not much.
Li Xuan came to the area under the jurisdiction of Gonggong Chen.
Before he could go to find Grandpa Chen, Grandpa Chen took the initiative to find him.
"Steward Li, what kind of wind blew you here?"
Gonggong Chen walked over slowly, with a bit of coldness in his tone.
Li Xuan saw that there was no one around, so he arched his hand and said, "I've seen my father-in-law." ”
Gonggong Chen narrowed his eyes: "It's rare that you still recognize our family's father-in-law, but in a few days, my family may have to call you Mr. Li." ”
It seems that this Chen Gonggong has already learned from Mr. Zhang that I am about to become the head manager...... Li Xuan knew it in his heart and sighed:
"Hey, father-in-law, I can't help myself, the tone of the queen mother at that time can't allow me to refuse at all."
"However, although I can't shirk the position of the general manager, this money can be given to your father-in-law for retirement, which is also the only way I can think of a two-way solution."
When Gonggong Chen heard Li Xuan's words, he was stunned: "You have thought clearly, this is a hundred taels of silver!" ”
"Without my father-in-law, how can I be where I am today, these hundred taels should have belonged to my father-in-law." Li Xuan said solemnly.
This operation made Gonggong Chen a little embarrassed.
He thought he had raised a white-eyed wolf, but he didn't expect Li Xuan to be so generous.
A hundred taels of silver a month, and if you say you don't want it, don't want it.
You must know that one tael of silver is enough for a family of three to eat for a month, let alone one hundred taels.
As long as he gets enough for this year, it will be enough for him to live without worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life.
Gonggong Chen looked at Li Xuan carefully for a while before he spoke:
"Xiao Xuanzi, a bold little eunuch like you, our family has really never seen it, you will definitely shine in the future and become a person like Wei Gong who is very important to Daqian."
He really hadn't seen a eunuch like Li Xuan, who was rich and noble at his fingertips, so he gave it away like this, which is not something ordinary people can do.
"My father-in-law has won the award, and I just do what I think is right." Li Xuan said.
The reason why he gave the manager's money to Gonggong Chen was because he didn't want to get into trouble, and secondly, he wanted to have an idea.
Only by doing everything according to one's own will can the cultivation of the divine soul be faster.
He clearly felt just now that when he said that he wanted to give Gonggong Chen his own money, the Dharma buds in the sea of qi had grown a little stronger.
Got the matter of Grandpa Chen.
Li Xuan was unencumbered, and soon came to Duanmu Niangniang's palace.
Duanmu Niangniang was holding her forehead with one hand, she didn't know what she was thinking, but when she saw Li Xuan coming in, her beautiful eyes couldn't help but light up:
"I heard some palace maids and eunuchs talk about the demon tide in Taihu Province, and I'm really worried that you will have an accident, so it's okay if you're okay."
With this sad face, is it worried about me...... Li Xuan felt that Duanmu Niangniang was like a girl who was waiting for her husband to come back from the expedition at the moment, and couldn't help but smile:
"This time the bandits are indeed nine deaths, and the little one is lucky to pick up a life."
Present.
He told Duanmu Niangniang about the process of suppressing bandits again.
At last.
He spoke: "The little one has also seen Miss Shiyu, and she said that she is already trying to rescue you, and I believe that there will be results soon." ”
Duanmu Niangniang's expression was calm, and she suddenly said:
"Xiao Xuanzi, if I ask you to go back to Simon with me, would you be willing?"
"Huh?" Li Xuan was a little embarrassed, "This ......"
Naturally, it was impossible for him to leave with Duanmu Niangniang.
It's just that refusing directly, won't it hurt Duanmu Niangniang's heart too much?
Duanmu Niangniang looked at Li Xuan's embarrassed expression, and she already knew the answer, and smiled:
"Don't worry, it's just a question, even if you really want to go back with me, I won't take you with me, I don't know what kind of danger I will face when I go back to Simon this time, how can I take you?"
Li Xuan was stunned and couldn't help asking:
"Mother, Simon, does anyone want to be unfavorable to you?"
Duanmu Niangniang didn't answer this question, but asked, "Xiao Xuanzi, do you know why Simon betrayed the big guy?" ”
"This, the small one is not clear." Li Xuan shook his head.
Duanmu Niangniang said: "Because Simon is the sole owner of the Sanskrit Sect, and the sect leader Brahma Ji firmly controls the lifeblood of this country, if he is not willing to submit to the Great Qian, then the entire Simon will completely break with the Great Qian, I go back this time to change the pattern." ”
"You want to overthrow Sanskrit?!" Li Xuan looked surprised.
To be able to control the lifeblood of a country, how strong should this sect be?
I'm afraid even the imperial power is a puppet!
This is simply a replica of the Lunatic Cult of the Otherworld.
Duanmu Niangniang was a little stunned: "I haven't figured out what to do yet, but I have to go back to Simon, which is related to the future fate of Simon." ”
Li Xuan knew that Duanmu Niangniang was in such a hurry to go back, and nine times out of ten it was related to the Danshu Iron Coupon that carried the life seed.
He couldn't help asking:
"Niangniang, what is the state of cultivation in this Sanskrit?"
Duanmu Niangniang said: "Ten years ago, he was already a martial saint!" ”
"......" Li Xuan was silent.
Except for the three holy lands, those martial saints and ghosts who have cultivated both law and martial arts.
Martial Saint can be regarded as the most powerful combat power in this world.
If you want to overthrow the sect controlled by the Martial Saint, the difficulty can be imagined.
It's all a moth to a fire.
Duanmu Niangniang smiled: "Don't worry, I'm not stupid enough to clash head-on with a martial saint." ”
"Niangniang, you have a smart mind, so you will naturally think everything through." Li Xuan smiled and said.
He couldn't help much now, so naturally he didn't say much, so he chatted with Duanmu Niangniang for a while, and then turned around and left the palace.
Next.
He went to Luo Niangniang's courtyard and Zhao Niangniang's palace again.
The former naturally wanted to taunt him a few words, but the concern in his tone could not be hidden.
The latter told him to rest well, not to worry about her business for the time being, and to highlight an empathetic person.
After meeting these three mothers.
Li Xuan came to Xiao Niangniang's palace at this time.
Although he said that he had refined the life seed this time, there were still some places that he was not too familiar with, so he just asked for advice from this Daomen Holy Maiden.
It's just that what Li Xuan didn't expect was.
He had only been away for more than 20 days, and Xiao Niangniang was seriously ill and couldn't even get out of bed.
Accompanied by the palace maid, Li Xuan entered Xiao Niangniang's bedroom and found that Xiao Niangniang was lying on the bed, angry and pale, completely devoid of the charm and grace of the past.
"What's going on?" Li Xuan couldn't help asking.
The palace maid said in panic: "Back to Gonggong Li, Xiao Niangniang suddenly fainted a few days ago, and the slave maid asked the imperial doctor to check it as soon as possible, but the imperial doctor didn't find anything wrong, only said that Xiao Niangniang's body had inexplicable aging, and all organs were failing, and she prescribed a few doses of medicine for Xiao Niangniang to drink, but there was no improvement!" ”
Li Xuan frowned, and called in a low voice: "Niangniang, the little one is back." ”
Xiao Niangniang was sweating profusely on her forehead, and there seemed to be a few strands of white hair on her sideburns.
When she heard Li Xuan's voice, she barely opened her eyes and squeezed out a smile:
"Xiao Xuanzi, you are really blessed with a great fate, and you can be safe and sound when you encounter the demon tide, but it's a pity that I am not as lucky as you."
"Look, I can't even do it now if I want you to pinch my shoulder."
Li Xuan couldn't help asking, "Niangniang, why are you suddenly like this, have you encountered anything special?" ”
Xiao Niangniang, as the saintess of the Daomen in the past, even if she was abolished and cultivated, her body was not comparable to ordinary people.
How could it be so good that he suddenly became terminally ill.
This is completely counterintuitive.
Definitely what's going on!
Xiao Niangniang sighed: "Before you went to Taihu Province, I felt a little unwell, I thought it would pass slowly, but I didn't expect my body to get worse and worse, it seems that God is destined to take away my life." ”
Li Xuan rubbed his eyebrows and comforted: "Niangniang, there will always be a way, the little one has a healing pill here, I don't know if it will be useful to you." ”
"Don't bother, my illness can't be cured by ordinary medicine." Xiao Niangniang shook her head.
Li Xuan's eyes moved, and he looked at the palace maid on the side: "You go out first." ”
"Yes."
The palace maid knew Li Xuan's current status and didn't dare to hesitate, and after bowing, she retreated.
Wait for the palace maid to leave.
Li Xuan then looked at Xiao Niangniang who was lying on the bed: "When you say that, do you know where your illness is?" ”
