Chapter 575: Anger
I heard that I could go in to see Your Majesty, but the queen couldn't care so much anymore, so she walked in first. Behind her, Fang Du and Cong Miao glanced at each other, both of them knew that there were many variables in this way, not only had to face Cong Yu, who was unconscious, but also had to deal with the difficulties that Concubine De might make at any time, and they also had to protect the somewhat reckless queen, the two of them thought of this, they sighed in unison, and walked in side by side.
Unlike the singing and dancing that night, the hall was quiet at the moment, and even the palace people who were waiting for it had been reduced by half. Xue Hui walked in front and invited the three of them into the dormitory behind. The originally bright windows were covered by thick curtains, and the heavy smell of ambergris mixed with the bitter smell of the decoction made people a little breathless.
The bright yellow bed curtain embroidered with orchids was halfway down, covering Cong Yu's face, and Concubine De was holding a white silk handkerchief in her hand, and was sitting on the edge of the bed wiping her red and swollen eyes, but Fang Du saw that there was not a single tear in her eyes, but she was afraid that the red and swollen appearance was also deliberately made to confuse everyone.
"Niangniang, Queen Niang, the prince and General Fang are all here!" Xue Hui reminded Li Qingxue softly, she seemed to be half shocked, and hurriedly got up to salute, sobbing and said, "The queen mother is here, the concubine is young and ignorant, she has never experienced such a big event, and she has long been scared of the six gods!"
The three of them couldn't help but sneer in their hearts, her words were just a countermeasure to the wrong words after being threatened by Fang Dui. According to the queen's temperament, she must show her identity as the queen and question her well, but seeing Fang Dui shaking her head lightly at herself, even if the queen has a lot of anger and grievances in her heart, she has to hold back for the time being.
"How did Your Majesty get sick, please tell me clearly. Cong Miao did not find out the cause of Cong Yu's illness from the imperial doctor, although he knew in his heart that Concubine De would definitely not tell the truth, he still had a glimmer of hope.
Concubine De invited them to sit down and served fragrant tea one by one, and then continued to wipe the corners of her eyes and said, "When I got up early today, Your Majesty felt energetic, and even I ate more breakfast than usual." The concubine looked happy, and cooked a few dishes at lunchtime. His Majesty rested after lunch, but unexpectedly, after a while, His Majesty said that he was dizzy. The concubine panicked, thinking of the magic of the elixir, she fed His Majesty and ate one, but unexpectedly, His Majesty never woke up again!"
Fang Duan couldn't help but glance at Cong Miao, what she said was almost exactly the same as what Ma Gonggong said, I don't know if it was arranged by Concubine De Guifei a long time ago and deceived Ma Gonggong, or from the beginning, she didn't intend to tell a lie.
"Dare to ask the concubine, what is the elixir for?" Cong Miao couldn't help but ask this question, and at the same time, he was also with a little emotion. Fang Du glanced at him, feeling that he seemed to be a little anxious when he asked at this moment.
Concubine De rolled her eyes, and immediately lowered her head and said, "That elixir is naturally a good thing to help Your Majesty live longer." Cong Miao didn't believe it, and said to her, "This king suspects that His Majesty's illness is related to the elixir!"
"What?" Concubine De's body shook violently, and she looked at Cong Miao in horror, "Lord Wang, you can't talk nonsense about this! That elixir is given by the Emperor of Heaven, aren't you questioning the heavens when you say that? There is a god three feet above his head, even if it is for the sake of His Majesty, please ask the prince to retract what he just said!"
"What's the matter, Concubine De believes in ghosts and gods very much?" Fang Duan suddenly spoke, and Concubine De said to him with a straight face, "Senior brother, although you and I are from the same family, this palace also has to remind you that the words of ghosts and gods are not believed or not, otherwise, how can you explain the origin of this elixir? There were many people who saw it with their own eyes that day!"
The queen suddenly said at this time, "I see it, but whether it's the palace or the prince, what we see is that from beginning to end, it is Concubine De who is pretending to be a god and a ghost, whether it is the emperor or the gods, but I haven't even seen a shadow!
Although these words were said by the other party, the queen's eyes kept glancing at Concubine De, and the meaning was self-evident. Cong Miao said, "Since the concubine said that there is no problem with the elixir, please also ask the concubine to cut her love, give one to the king, and take it to the imperial doctor to see, so you can rest assured!"
Unexpectedly, Concubine De's pink face turned red, and she slapped the table and stood up and said, "What does the prince mean, is he suspicious of the palace?" Cong Miao had a faint smile on his face, noncommittal, "The imperial doctors took turns to diagnose His Majesty's pulse, and they all said that they couldn't see the clues, and the king had to think about it more." ”
"What if it weren't for the elixir?" For a while, the expression on Concubine De's face made Fang Duan a little incomprehensible, but his intuition told him that there must be something wrong here. Fang Duan hurriedly stretched out his hand, signaling the two of them not to make loud noises, "Concubine De, we are here today for the sake of Your Majesty's condition. Why don't you go and see Your Majesty first?"
Concubine De snorted, turned her head away from Cong Miao, and reluctantly nodded at Fang Dui. Fang Du walked to the side of the bed, and saw Cong Yu lying in his clothes, his eyes were closed, his face was sallow, and there was a dark purple cloud on his lips, and then he looked at his eyebrows, there was a faint black qi swimming away, Fang Du couldn't help but gasp.
When she first entered the palace, Li Qingxue could temporarily control her body, but soon, she was occupied by Dingshen. Cong Yu stays with her every day, and it is inevitable that he will be invaded by the evil spirit of Ding Shen. Even if there is no problem with those elixirs, over time, Cong Yu's body will have problems. What worries Fang Duan even more is that Ding Shen's control of Li Qingxue is only the first step, and his real target may be Cong Yu, who is falling asleep. Because only then can the Ding God force himself to hand over the Nine Dragon Ding.
This thought made Fang Duan shudder, Cong Miao whispered behind him, "How is it, do you see anything?" Fang Duan shook his head slightly, but his hand quickly pulled between Cong Yu's hair, and suddenly a few black strands of hair were held in the palm of his hand.
"What, what can the junior brother see, what kind of illness does Your Majesty have?" Concubine De was hypocritical, but Fang Duan had to accompany her to play the show, "For a while, I can't see anything." However, the minister remembered that in the past, Concubine De was the most proficient in medical skills, and now there are many medicinal powders and plasters and pills configured by the concubine, I don't know what disease Your Majesty has?"
Concubine De was speechless, but the queen took the opportunity to say, "Since this is the case, then please ask Concubine De to take a good look for Your Majesty, maybe there will be a different opinion from the imperial doctors!"
