Chapter 148: The Queen's Beating (Second Update, Asking for Subscription)
Luo Niangniang's palace is decorated with jewels, and the floor is covered with colorful and ornate carpets.
The carpet is swept to a non-stained layer.
Compared to other palaces, this palace is noticeably brighter.
Moreover, it has a distinctly exotic style, as if you have come to an oil painting.
This is Li Xuan according to Luo Niangniang's needs, spending money to arrange people.
Because Luo Niangniang is the reincarnation of a peacock demon beast, she naturally likes bright colors.
Li Xuan naturally wanted to do what he liked.
Because of this.
Luo Niangniang's favorability towards Li Xuan also reached 80 points.
Although it is not as good as Xiao Niangniang and others, it can be regarded as a relatively high favorability among the newly acquainted girls.
Now.
Luo Niangniang was in the hall, holding a needle in her hand, and was doing embroidery.
Embroidered with flowers, surrounded by a peacock soaring with its wings!
This peacock embroidery is lifelike, as if it is about to come to life.
"Niangniang, your embroidery skills are becoming more and more exquisite." Li Xuan walked up to Luo Niangniang's side and spoke.
"Yikes."
Luo Niangniang suddenly heard Li Xuan's words, her jade hand trembled, and the needles in her hand were a little off.
She glanced at Li Xuan: "You walk, why don't you make any sound at all, it scares me." ”
You're cowardly, aren't you...... Li Xuan looked at Luo Niangniang, who was wearing a colorful gauze skirt in front of him, and couldn't help but bow down and say:
"Well, I didn't mean to disturb Niangniang, but I asked someone to buy some Yunqing silk and wanted to give it to you."
He took out a few strips of silk that were as white as clouds from his hand and handed them to Luo Niangniang.
Luo Niangniang's eyes lit up suddenly, and she immediately took it and rubbed it carefully:
"Wow, this is a specialty of Gyeongju, I'm worried about the next embroidery, I don't know what silk to use, now I have an idea, thank you so much."
The voice fell.
Li Xuan saw lines of text flash in front of him.
【Luo Qingyu Favorability +5】
[Current Alchemy Experience Points Bonus: 17 points/hour]
It seems that this Luo Niangniang really likes embroidery, just a few strips of silk have increased Luo Niangniang's favorability. Li Xuan's eyes lit up.
In fact.
A small part of the gifts from the lady in the cold palace were bought by him.
Most of them were bought by him according to the needs of the ladies and asked He Yuzhu to go to various commercial houses in the capital.
With He Yuzhu's prudence, there will be no clues.
"If you like it, mother." Li Xuan smiled.
Luo Niangniang's beautiful eyes blinked, looked at Li Xuan and said:
"Are you done, I see that your complexion is very good, I think your soul must have grown."
This Luo Niangniang is worthy of being a fairy, but she does have eyesight...... Li Xuan opened his mouth and said:
"Thanks to Niangniang's blessing, the matter has been dealt with, and I have also gained some benefits from it, and the spirit is indeed a little more condensed than before."
Luo Niangniang tilted her head and looked at Li Xuan curiously: "I didn't help you anything, what blessing did you entrust me?" However, if you need my help with anything, you can tell me that when I help you, it's not too late for you to say that you can thank me, but now that my soul is banned, I'm afraid there is nothing I can help you. ”
She is the reincarnation of a demon fairy, although she has been reincarnated as a human, but in her temperament, she still retains the innocence of a demon beast!
Say whatever comes to mind, and there is no taboo at all.
Li Xuan said: "Actually, I have a few questions I want to ask Niangniang, and I hope Niangniang will give me advice." ”
He knew that this demon fairy lady used to live in the country of ten thousand demons.
After accidentally eating a heavenly and earthly treasure, the physical body cannot bear the power of the divine soul, and can only be reincarnated.
The reincarnation of the demon fairy is the Luo family of the four major families in Gyeongju.
At the age of eight, he awakened the memories of his previous life and began to practice the Dao of his previous life.
When he was fifteen years old, he wanted to learn more alchemy, so he married into the palace and became a concubine.
But.
Two years after she married into the palace, the Luo family was discovered by the Marquis of Zhenbei for secretly selling pills to the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.
The entire Locke family was arrested and confiscated, and some of them were more serious, and they were even killed directly!
Luo Niangniang was also impeached.
The cabinet ministers unanimously agreed that she was the reincarnation of the demon fairy, and the Luo family's sale of pills to the demon clan had nothing to do with her.
Therefore, Luo Niangniang was also relegated to the cold palace.
Luo Niangniang said, "What do you want to ask?" ”
Li Xuan said: "I want to ask, has Niangniang ever heard of the Nine Transformations Creation Pill?" ”
"Of course, this Nine Transformations Creation Pill is a local quality pill, which can only be refined by the Creation Gate in ancient times, but with the disappearance of the Creation Gate in the long river of history, this Pill is lost, but even if there is a Pill Formula, I am afraid that many medicinal materials cannot be found now." Luo Niangniang said.
Li Xuan twisted his eyebrows, and couldn't help but say, "Niangniang, don't you know how to refine the Nine Transformation Creation Pill?" ”
Luo Niangniang put her fingers on her chin: "I don't know, but I heard that Lord Tianhu has the Nine Transformations Creation Pill and the Dan Fang in his hands, I don't know if it's true or not." ”
'Sky Fox ......' Li Xuan sighed in his heart.
This Heavenly Fox is the Demon Saint who established the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, and his strength is even stronger than some Martial Saints.
Even if this Tianhu really had the Nine Transformations Creation Pill, it would be impossible for him to get it from her.
Li Xuan didn't get too entangled, anyway, even if he had the Nine Transformation Creation Pill Pill now, with his alchemy level, he couldn't refine it.
Let's improve our alchemy skills first.
Next.
Li Xuan asked Luo Niangniang about some of the situation of the Ten Thousand Demon Country, such as what tribes, mountains, and how many demon clans there are.
If you really have a chance to enter the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom in the future, you won't be blinded.
Besides.
Li Xuan also asked Luo Niangniang for alchemy skills, which inspired Li Xuan.
He felt that with the Yin and Yang Mixed Hole True Fire that had smelted the Taiyin True Fire, maybe he could try to refine the second-grade pill.
But.
To refine the second-grade elixir, you must also make sufficient preparations, such as arranging the magic circle.
Because some second-grade pills will have visions.
Even when it comes out of the oven, the diffuse danxiang can float out ten miles away.
After leaving Luo Niangniang's palace.
Li Xuan came to Zhao Niangniang's palace again.
Now.
Zhao Niangniang still looked like a sweet girl, sitting quietly at the door, looking at the sky in a daze.
She is not like Xiao Niangniang and Duanmu Niangniang, who can rely on their own abilities to get out of the cold palace.
is not like Luo Niangniang and Luo Niangniang, who have their own hobbies and can embroider and plant flowers to pass the time.
She is like a butterfly with its wings cut off, no longer capable of flying into the sky.
She could only occasionally look up at the blue sky where she had once soared freely.
"Xiao Xuanzi, you're back!"
When Zhao Niangniang saw Li Xuan, her eyes were a little confused, and she gradually regained her vigor and became a little brighter.
"I've seen the mother." Li Xuan bowed and said.
Zhao Niangniang's voice was sweet: "Come in and sit down, and tell me about your outing this time." ”
"Hmm."
Li Xuan followed Zhao Niangniang into the main hall.
Zhao Niangniang poured Li Xuan a cup of tea and said, "Is it going well this outing?" ”
She moves skillfully, like a little woman waiting for her husband to return from his expedition.
"Well, everything is going well, everything is in order." Li Xuan was silent for a while before he said in a low voice, "I also met your father's friend this time, Wang Qinghou, Marquis of Huai'an. ”
Zhao Niangniang's beautiful eyes glared suddenly: "Uncle Wang, how is he?" ”
"The Marquis of Huai'an is amazing, he has become a great master, and this time he also led the Tianhai Sea Army to annihilate the pirates formed by the remnants of the previous dynasty in one fell swoop, the imperial court is afraid that he will be rewarded greatly this time, maybe the Marquis of Huai'an can be crowned Emperor Qian, the first duke may not be." Li Xuan said.
Zhao Niangniang pursed her red lips: "Uncle Wang has never cared about fame and fortune, he exterminated these pirates, it must be for the surrounding people and past merchants." ”
Li Xuan thought about it, and still spoke: "Actually, I still heard a piece of news, but I don't know if it's true or not. ”
"You say."
"I've heard that this Huai'an Hou is colluding with the demons, and I don't know what he's planning." Li Xuan said in a low voice.
He had killed the remnants of the former dynasty Lei Guang on Penglai Island before, and this Lei Guang wanted to let him help take care of Shen Xin Shen Niangniang, so he confided this information.
It's just that this thunder light is only a one-sided statement, and there is no evidence to prove that Huai'an Hou colluded with the demons.
Li Xuan naturally didn't dare to believe it all.
But.
Since this Lei Guang deliberately mentioned this matter, Li Xuan felt that it might not be groundless.
Behind the treason case of Zhao Niangniang's father Zhao Feilong, there are strange things everywhere, involving many forces, so Li Xuan can't help but think about it too much.
"Uncle Wang colluded with the demons? How can it be?! Zhao Niangniang looked incredulous.
Li Xuan opened his mouth and said: "I have only heard about this matter, and there is no evidence that this Huai'an Hou is really colluding with the demons, after all, the Huai'an Hou is high and powerful, and he can get anything at his fingertips, so he has no reason to cooperate with the demons." ”
There was a pause.
He continued: "It's just that, since it is to investigate the case of your father, then anything, no matter how abnormal it is, needs to be considered, so, I want to ask you, did you think that Huai'an Hou suddenly went abnormal one day, or rather, did he do something that made you a little confused?" ”
Zhao Niangniang thought for a moment, shook her head and said: "No, but I'm not very sure, because after Uncle Wang served as the emperor's personal guard, he rarely came to my house, I saw him once or twice a year at most, and I didn't find anything abnormal." ”
"When did the Marquis of Huai'an serve as the emperor's personal bodyguard?" Li Xuan couldn't help asking.
Zhao Niangniang said: "It seems to be the end of the fifth year of Tianyuan." ”
"At the end of the fifth year of Tianyuan...... Li Xuan's eyes flickered.
He remembered that Bai Feifei and Bai Niangniang said that six years after Tianyuan, the Queen Mother died, and the emperor has been obsessed with cultivation ever since.
At this point in time, are you too close?!
Could it be that there is no relationship between the two?
"Xiao Xuanzi, what are you thinking, Uncle Wang shouldn't really collude with the demons, right?!" Seeing Li Xuan's contemplative expression, Zhao Niangniang couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
She couldn't believe that her father's best friend, who regarded money, fame and fortune as dung, would collude with the demons.
Li Xuan shook his head: "I don't know, I have to continue to check, Niangniang, you wait patiently for my news." ”
The things he was doing at the moment were all from what he had heard, or some of his guesses.
There is a lack of information to support his hypothesis.
Perhaps, in terms of information, you can start from Zhao Hao.
Dongchang has its own database, which contains all kinds of things big and small since Emperor Qian's accession to the throne.
as well as some action reports of the East Plant, etc.
Perhaps we can focus on the period of the sixth year of Tian Yuan.
However, you still have to do some cover-up, otherwise the intention is too obvious, and it is easy to make Zhao Hao suspicious.
"Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Xuanzi, it's a pity that I can't help you." Zhao Niangniang sighed.
After Li Xuan helped her, she could only sit here and wait quietly, which made her feel a sense of guilt and powerlessness.
Li Xuan said with a smile: "Where is Niangniang, I said that I would help you, I will definitely help you, you can relax, wait patiently, sooner or later the truth will be revealed." ”
There was a pause.
He continued: "During this time, you can recall the past events and see if there are any omissions or anomalies, and maybe you can find some clues from them. ”
"Well, I'm already doing it." Zhao Niangniang nodded.
Li Xuan still wanted to chat with Zhao Niangniang, but suddenly stopped talking and turned his head to look at the door of the hall.
Stomp and tread.
With the sound of footsteps.
Manager Zhang appeared in Li Xuan's field of vision.
When he saw Li Xuan, he couldn't help but say, "Manager Li, it turns out that you are here, so that our family can be easy to find for a while." ”
"Manager Zhang, is there something wrong?" Li Xuan asked.
Mr. Zhang said: "It was the queen mother who sent someone to find you and let you go to Kunning Palace." ”
"The queen is looking for me?" Li Xuan twisted his eyebrows.
It seems that the news of his return to the cold palace has reached the ears of the queen.
However, even if the queen mother does not come to find her, she has to visit the queen mother to explain the reason for this outing.
"Okay, I'll go over here." Li Xuan nodded.
Zhao Niangniang glanced at Li Xuan with some concern, but Manager Zhang was here, so she didn't have much to say.
After saying goodbye to Zhao Niangniang and Manager Zhang.
Li Xuan went straight to Kunning Palace.
After a stick of incense.
Li Xuan came to Kunning Palace.
Led by a small eunuch, he walked around the cloisters and finally came to a palace in the center.
The aroma of ambergris in the palace wafted over, which was intoxicating.
However.
Li Xuan had completely ignored the aroma of ambergris at the moment, and his eyes were attracted by a figure in the corner.
This figure was covered in blood, with open skin and flesh, lying on the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
Looking at the official uniform of this figure, it seems to be the eunuch of the celebrant eunuch.
The celebrant is the highest-ranking department among the twelve eunuchs.
Wei Jingzhong is the eunuch of the palm print of the celebrant eunuch!
However.
Now Wei Jingzhong's people are lying in the palace of the queen mother and have been tortured!
This couldn't help but make Li Xuan's scalp tingle.
He hurriedly withdrew his gaze and greeted the queen mother who was practicing calligraphy in the center of the main hall:
"The little one has seen the queen mother."
The queen mother stopped her pen and said lightly: "Flatten." ”
"Xie Niangniang." Li Xuan stood up.
The queen mother looked outside the main hall again and ordered: "Come on, carry this little mortal out, it really dirties the eyes of the palace." ”
The voice fell.
A few little eunuchs came in and carried the figure in the corner of the hall away.
The queen mother said: "This little mortal is also a hand-picked up by the palace, but unfortunately it is a thing that eats inside and out, not only deceived and perfunctory the palace, but also tried to escape from the palace with the gold, silver and jewelry rewarded by the palace, which really broke the heart of the palace." ”
There was a pause.
She looked at Li Xuan: "Xiao Xuanzi, this palace trusts you a lot, you shouldn't live up to this palace, right?!" ”
Li Xuan reacted in an instant.
Damn, dare to deliberately let yourself see the fate of this little mortal, you are beating yourself.
Could it be that he left the palace this time, and it took too long, which caused the queen's dissatisfaction? !
Or is there something this queen wants to let herself do, and she is worried that she will not be satisfied, so warn herself in advance?!
