The delicate huanghuali wood warping table, the drunk red lychee, accompanied by a few peeled blue lotus pods, are neatly placed in a small glass plate, and it seems that there is still dew in it. The breath of nourishing lake water is fresh and pleasant. In the summer with luxuriant flowers and plants, the more the day comes to an end, the hotter the heat and the scorching sun. After passing the corridor, it is half sprinkled into the water pavilion. A little bit of coolness.
Qing Chen leaned on the couch with his eyes closed and fell asleep, Xue Ying was so bored, he grabbed the belt hanging by her side one by one, saw that she was still ignoring her, turned his head and jumped on the small case, stomping here and there, One turned around and knocked over the glazed plate. With a soft sound of "Kang Dang", the lychees rolled all over the ground, and the little lotus pods fell everywhere, so scared that Xueying jumped up and ran away quickly.
Qing Chen was awakened by the sound, opened his eyes lazily, and sighed with a smile on his forehead. Just wondering why the maid outside didn't move, Bi Yao had already walked in lightly, seeing Qing Chen woke up, looking at the fruit all over the floor, turned around and looked for Xue Ying, "It's you making trouble again, just a few days ago I fell into the lake and choked enough, and I still don’t know how to restrain myself!”
Knowing that she was in trouble, Xue Ying jumped up and down around Biguio to hide, looked at Qing Chen with a half-smile that was not very protective, turned her head and ran towards the corridor. Qing Chen and Baguio only heard a whimper, and the little beast that was trying to escape was brought back to the scene. Ye Tianling frowned slightly and glanced at the ground, the snow shadow was hanging pitifully in the air.
This is really bullying, Qing Chen laughed, Xue Zhan, who was watching the excitement, cast a sympathetic glance at Xue Ying, raised his tail, and rubbed it into Qing Chen's arms, so as to avoid the disaster. Unexpectedly, before she could get on her knees, she stretched out a hand, her body rose into the air, and before she could struggle, she was thrown into Bi Yao's arms. Ye Tianling sat down in front of the case, with cold eyes, the two little beasts shrank back, and were immediately taken away by Biguio obediently.
Qing Chen propped himself up and smiled, "I haven't seen you for a long time, did you go out of the house?"
Ye Tianling nodded and said, "Well, I just came back."
Qing Chen looked at his expression carefully: "What happened?"
Ye Tianling raised his eyes and smiled brightly: "It's okay."
Qing Chen smiled lightly, and didn't ask any more questions. She could entrust everything to him with peace of mind, including Mingyi Building, which should be completely under her orders.
The sound of footsteps entered the water pavilion from far and near, followed by a faint fragrance, a little maid came in with two thin porcelain cups, lowered her eyebrows and bent over the table, "His Royal Highness, please use it."
"What is this?" Ye Tianling asked casually when he saw the blue color in the cup and the faint fragrance.
The little maid was about to leave with the lacquer tray in her arms, when she suddenly heard him ask a question, she was startled, and timidly didn't know how to answer. The maids in Prince Ling's mansion have always been a little afraid of Ye Tianling. Seeing that she was still young, Qing Chen asked with a gentle smile, "Is it He Yelu?"
The little maid hurriedly nodded and replied in a soft voice: "Back to the princess, it's lotus seed and lotus leaf dew, Mrs. Bai... asked the slave to deliver it."
Qing Chen said: "Understood, you go to work."
The little maid didn't dare to raise her eyes to look at Ye Tianling: "Yes, this servant will leave." After saying that, she walked out in a hurry.
Qing Chen joked: "You are serious in the mansion all day, anyone who sees you will be afraid."
Ye Tianling raised his hand to take the porcelain cup, and stirred it leisurely: "Then why don't I see you afraid?"
Qing Chen supported his chin with his hands, leaned on the brocade mat, closed his eyes and rested his mind: "The number of the heavens, one thing falls one thing, if you are afraid that you will pay it back?"
But Ye Tianling chuckled lightly, he didn't refute her, but acquiesced to the words that one thing falls one thing. Qing Chen's black ink-like eyeliner was lightly raised, his smile was flowing, and suddenly the fragrance wafted into his nostrils. When he opened his eyes, Ye Tianling handed the lotus leaf dew that he had stirred up in front of her: "Why don't you try it?"
Qing Chen lazily shook his head, Ye Tianling saw that she had eaten very little these days, so he couldn't help worrying: "Eat a little even if you don't have an appetite, two people eat less than one, how can this work? "
But seeing the lotus leaf dewy jelly in a white porcelain cup, with a few lotus seeds that have been cored removed adorning it is pleasing to the eye, so Qing Chen stretched out his hand to take it: "This looks refreshing."
Ye Tianling took her bowl casually, stirred it a few times, and tasted it: "It tastes good."
Qing Chen slowly ate half of it and then put it down. He heard whispers and laughter from far away on the lake, but it was the maids rowing boats to pick lotus. The light boat broke through the water, and the flowers and leaves were blooming all over the sky. It made her heart itch to see it, she turned her head and said softly: "Fourth brother..."
Ye Tianling stood up with a smile, and raised his voice to order: "Yan Xi, get someone to prepare a boat for a tour of the lake!"
Yan Xi, who was waiting outside, responded quickly and went to do it immediately. Ye Tianling helped Qing Chen to stand up: "It won't be long."
Qing Chen replied with a smile: "Just a moment." As soon as he stood up, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart, and then the world spun, and the fishy sweet smell rushed to his throat, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood unconsciously.
Ye Tianling turned pale with shock, and hastily supported her precarious body: "Qing'er!"
Qing Chen felt as if there were thousands of sharp knives stirring in his heart, and the blood in his chest was surging, and he couldn't suppress it, and couldn't help but vomited another mouthful of blood. Looking down, I saw a bloody red line faintly appearing on the wrist, winding upwards. Red dust tribulation! She tried her best to grab Ye Tianling's hand, wanting to remind him that the lotus leaf dew was poisonous, but she just kept coughing up blood, her body was limp without a trace of strength, and her eyes gradually blurred, as if the sun was too strong, trying to burn everything into ashes.
She tried her best to look at him with the last sliver of sobriety, and his voice of shock and anger came from her ear. He should be fine, his embrace is still warm and firm, and he can rely on it with confidence. A ghastly red blood flooded over, getting thicker and thicker, and suddenly turned into darkness.
The world of mortal calamity originated from the Western Regions, a series of strange poisons. Absolute consciousness, broken pulse and breath, reverse blood all over the body, there is a hidden red thread like a bracelet three inches above the Guanmai, the bracelet is wrapped around nine fingers, there is no solution.
Under Zhang Dingshui's skinny fingers, a shocking red line was gradually deepening, slowly winding around Qing Chen's pale skin again.
Compared with the panicked crowd inside and outside, Ye Tianling's expression was still calm. As soon as Zhang Dingshui raised his head, he immediately asked, "How?"
Zhang Dingshui slowly withdrew his hand: "It can be solved."
When he was supposed to be relieved, Ye Tianling still frowned, and Zhang Dingshui's expression showed no signs of relaxation, "The poison can be cured, but His Highness has to be willing to give up the fetus in the womb of the princess..."
Ye Tianling's eyes trembled suddenly, and he intercepted the words behind him: "I only want her to be safe!"
Zhang Dingshui nodded and said: "According to what I said just now, the person who poisoned was actually targeting His Highness. If the poison really entered His Highness's body, I would be helpless. Now the original poison of Hongchen Jie can be dissolved by blood soul beads. The soul bead has the effect of returning blood to the meridian, but it is also highly poisonous. The reason why Hongchen Jie is listed as a rare poison in the world is because the poison is entangled in the poison, and detoxification is also a kind of poison. It is endless and never-ending. There is a solution, but there is no solution. But right now, there is a receptor in the princess’s body, and I can guide it with a golden needle, and use the opportunity of blood circulation to force the blood soul orb into the fetus, and the fetus will leave the mother’s body, and the poison will go away.”
The red bracelet is enchanting, wrapped around Qing Chen's white wrist like snow, but like a poisonous snake biting his heart, Ye Tianling suppressed his turbulent emotions, "Where can I find the Blood Soul Orb?"
Zhang Dingshui said: "Although there are not many blood soul beads, there is no shortage of them in Muyuan Hall. There is just one thing I must let Your Highness know, the fetus in the womb of the princess has been more than seven months, the essence has been gathered, the body has been formed, and It is very likely that it is a male baby. If the mother's body is born at this time, I am sure to keep it safe. Does Your Highness need to reconsider?"
Ye Tianling pursed her thin lips: "No need!"
Zhang Dingshui sighed slightly: "Since Your Highness has made up his mind, I won't say any more, and I will definitely keep the princess safe."
The extremely deep seabed, the surroundings are very quiet, there is no light, no sound, and there is a deep silence.
When Qing Chen regained the first trace of consciousness, it was a sharp stabbing pain. It was as if there was a force pushing the frozen sea water slowly, one after another swirled, and the liquid mixed with ice gradually rushed through the blood, and the pain was everywhere, entangled overwhelmingly. She couldn't help moaning softly, and immediately heard a voice in her ears: "Qing'er, Qing'er!"
Qing'er... who is calling her? Is it father? Just like when I was bedridden when I was a child, my father didn't have time to be serious with her, and it passed after a while. She thought drowsily, she just wanted to sink into the bottom of the sea again, so that she could avoid the pain that followed her everywhere.
However, that voice persisted in urging her, and she struggled for a while. Something attracted her, but a kind of pressure came back. In the two-phase confrontation, the voice persistently and domineeringly pulled her to the surface of the water, and finally her body rose higher and higher. Quickly, a floating light gradually approached, as if suddenly breaking through the pressure of the roof, the light in front of her eyes was shining brightly, a pair of deep and anxious eyes filled with ecstasy and pain, she saw him clearly, "Fourth Brother..."
Ye Tianling kept holding Qing Chen's hand tightly, seeing the circles of life-threatening red lines slowly fading away, his fingertips couldn't help trembling slightly, "I'm here!" He said softly.
Seeing him beside him unharmed, Qing Chen showed a weak smile, and said with difficulty: "Fortunately...you didn't drink that bowl of lotus leaf dew..."
Ye Tianling couldn't tell whether it was pain or hatred in his heart, thousands of words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter a single word, like spears and swords sprung up, and the pierced flesh was dripping with blood, he could only hold her hand tightly, It seemed that he wanted to share her pain with this.
Qing Chen's consciousness gradually became a little clearer, and he felt the golden needle entering the acupuncture point in a trance, but it was not clear under the pain all over his body.
Zhang Dingshui's needle hand is extremely steady, calm, focused and decisive.
Tiantu... Huashan... Shanzhong... Juque... Jianli... Shenque... Qihai... Qing Chen was shocked, and immediately realized Zhang Dingshui's intention of using the needle. …”
Ye Tianling's eyes were full of pain, and he held down her hand that wanted to protect her abdomen, and said in a hoarse voice, "Qing'er, don't move."
Qing Chen was powerless to struggle, and could only look at him sadly, "Fourth brother... this... this is your flesh and blood... you can't..." Her eyes were begging and helpless like he had never seen before, and tears rolled down from her eyes, It's like pouring oil into the heart, and it burns all internal organs.
Ye Tianling gritted his teeth hard, and Qing Chen's words pierced his heart, forcing him not to look into those pleading eyes anymore. He coldly pursed his lips and turned his head. He was as firm and resolute as iron. He would never regret this choice. He could give up everything, including his flesh and blood, as long as she was safe. If possible, he is willing to exchange his life for it, even if it makes her feel less pain.
Zhang Dingshui finally raised his head, sighed secretly, took out two golden needles again, raised and lowered the needles with his hand, and pierced into the key point next to Qingchen's ear. Qing Chen's mind was blurred for an instant, and he fell into a coma again.
Two hours later, the palace received an urgent report from Ling Wang's mansion that Ling Wang concubine unexpectedly gave birth prematurely, and a nearly seven-month-old baby boy died just after birth.
As the night fell, Ye Tianling walked out of the palace's dormitory wearily, with the thin moon hanging obliquely in the blue sky.
The lights are brightly lit in front of the eyes, going up one by one, illuminating the outline of the dormitory that has been completely suppressed in the night, in the vast vestibule, on one side are the subordinates of Mingyilou in black clothes and black scarves, and on the other are soldiers of the Xuanjia Army in Xuanjia and Xuanpao. When he came out, thousands of warriors knelt on one knee at the same time. Throughout the dark night, only the sound of Qi Shushu's skirt flapping, the bright sword, and the dazzling murderous aura were heard.
Ye Tianling slowly raised his head to look at the blade-like Leng Yue, and hurled down words like ice, "Tamp down the Lvyifang, those who stand in the way, kill without mercy!"
After Princess Ling was poisoned, the little maid who sent lotus leaves to the pavilion was immediately found out. The girl cried out for her innocence at first, but Mingyilou's method can even pry open the iron plate, let alone a weak little girl.
After a while, the little maid confessed to the main messenger of the poisoning—King Ling's concubine, Mrs. Qian Jie.
Madam Bai hated her so much that she ordered the maid in charge of the palace to take Qian Mi out of the Zisi Garden for interrogation, but Qian Mi was terrified and never admitted that the purpose of buying the little maid was to poison King Ling and the princess.
Finally, under the stern questioning of the female officer in charge, Qian Ye revealed that the lotus leaf dew was just a drug that can make people feel confused.
Qianye is in love with the palace but has no hope of being favored by King Ling. He is depressed all day long. A few days ago, he was invited by Shuyun to go out of the palace to relax. On the way back, he happened to meet a woman named Sanniang who claimed to be a family of officials in the city. concubine.
The two seemed to hit it off right away. Sanniang burst into tears when she talked about being bullied by her regular wife at home. Thinking of her own situation, Qian Ye couldn't help but tell her all her sorrows. Sanniang's tears came and went quickly, and in a blink of an eye she gave her an idea, only saying that the princess is pregnant now, and it is not impossible to let Ling Wang come to Siyuan.
Even though Qian Mi knew that King Ling would never be able to love her, she only held on to a trace of remnants in her heart, took the medicine given by Sanniang, and only thought that if she could have a son by luck overnight, she would be content.
She is only obsessed with weaving this fantasy, but she doesn't know that this meager idea has become a vicious knife in the hands of others. The blade is quenched with snake-like poison and pierces through her heart, pushing her into the abyss of destruction.
Madam Bai used to take pity on Qianye and always cared for her, but now even though she pities her misfortune, she hates her indisputableness even more, and she no longer shows any mercy in her words, "How can you mess up His Highness's mind by using such a shameless method? According to His Highness's temperament, if he doesn't want to do something, even if the sky falls, it's useless! Even if His Highness really can't hold on, and the princess brought her back to life with her medical skills, can't she still be helpless with this kind of cheap medicine? You are too underestimating Your Highness and Princess! How can you be worthy of His Highness for doing such a foolish thing? I can't protect you right now! If you still have the face to see Your Highness, go and beg him to spare your life!"
As if struck by five thunderbolts, Qian Mi fell limply to the ground as the two female officials in charge dropped their hands.
Madam Bai's words almost cruelly destroyed all the beauty in her fantasy, and the light shone at the end of the horizon. She felt the thrill of falling at a high speed when she jumped away. Never even had those wings.
There have always been only two semi-dark hanging lanterns in front of the gate of King Xi's Mansion. Compared with the bright and brilliant King Ming's Mansion that was only two streets away, it always looks a bit shabby. But now that all the lanterns in King Ming's Mansion have fallen to nothing, Prince Xi's Mansion still has these two hanging lights, which look dispensable under the bright moonlight.
The side hall in the deepest part of the palace was lit differently than usual, but the originally bright room was cloudy and cloudy because of the expressions of the two people. An imperceptible tension spread quietly, and the occasional flicker of the candle flame shook people's hearts.
Dark silver tight-fitting warrior uniform, slender eyes, like the seductiveness of thousands of lights, but Zhuang Sanliu's voice was somber that he could squeeze out water, "Not only is King Ling safe and sound, but he is scaring the snakes, success is not enough, failure is more than failure! I've warned you not to touch that woman, do you think I'm joking?"
Ye Tianxi's heart was on fire. Recently, things went wrong in his hands, and everything went wrong. First, several courtiers under him were impeached and dismissed, and then Ding concubine was expelled from the palace, Feng's family and Yin's court struggled, and for no reason, the fire burned to the Gyeonggi Division. Today, the Ministry of Zhongshu urgently issued an order to reorganize all parts of the army. The Gyeonggi Guards were the first to bear the brunt and were ordered to lay off nearly 3,000 soldiers. The Jade Blood Pavilion, which was originally the most powerful, just lost its soldiers and generals and lost Nightmare, and now this kind of thing happened again, how could he not be annoyed? Therefore, he snorted coldly, and the words he said were particularly unpleasant: "What's so great? It's nothing more than a woman. Let alone a person who is not dead, so what if she is dead? It's worth such a fuss!"
The cold light in Zhuang San's willow eyes flashed, and he spoke coldly: "It's just a woman? If she dies, you will have to bury her with her tonight! Who do you think you are? This woman's life is worth more than yours!"
The extremely arrogant attitude made Ye Tianxi's face livid and furious: "What do you think you are, dare to talk to this king like this! This king has tolerated you again and again, don't want to toast and not eat fine wine!"
Zhuang Sanliu seemed to be intentionally trying to make things difficult for him today, and he said in a strange way: "It turns out that His Highness knows very well that with his own strength, there is no other way out but forbearance? Then it's better to continue to endure, lest all previous efforts be wasted and it will be too late to regret!"
A murderous intent flashed clearly in Ye Tianxi's eyes, he couldn't bear it anymore, and said fiercely: "This king wants to see how capable you are today!" Face off.
Zhuang Sanliu folded his body flutteringly back, avoiding the mask on his face, and struck out with a horizontal palm, the palm wind was sharp. The two palms met in mid-air, and both of them shook, a cold light flashed in Ye Tianxi's hand, the sword was already in hand, and the murderous aura was intense, Zhuang Sanliu's toes flew up, and the cases in front of him slammed into Ye Tianxi.
In that instant, Zhuang Sanliu flew back. Now that Ye Tianxi has murderous intentions, how can he stop there? The sword was approaching continuously, soul-stirring, Zhuang Sanliu retreated three steps and turned from defense to attack, facing the enemy empty-handed without losing the wind, a sneer floated in his eyes, like a knife like a blade.
The silver shadows and yellow shirts rose and fell one after another, and the two figures flashed out of the hall, and quickly wrestled together.
The sound immediately alarmed Hu Sanniang and the others outside, and the palace guards surrounded them, making it difficult to intervene for a while. Hu Sanniang scolded sharply, and struck Zhuang Sanliu's back with a short knife.
But when she heard the sound of water and dragons chanting under the moon, Hu Sanniang's eyes blurred, and she was shocked to find that Zhuang Sanliu's figure flashed past her like a ghost, and her short knife stabbed Ye Tianxi's chest head-on. Shocked, she suddenly dropped the knife and pulled away, covered in cold sweat. She looked intently, Ye Tianxi stood motionless in the courtyard, a soft sword overflowing with water lightly rested on the back of his neck, along the sword, A pair of evil and charming eyes, with different lights and shadows, and a long silver gown that moved slightly in the wind.
The sword shadow shone with the moonlight, I don't know when it came from, I don't know where it came from, it seems that as long as there is a slight breeze, the moonlight will disappear with the waves, and the eyes of the person holding the sword turned slightly with a half-smile, but The guards around him with horizontal swords and knives took a step back in unison.
Hu Sanniang shouted tremblingly: "Zhuang Sanliu! You... don't act recklessly!"
A sneer made the moonlight move slightly, and Ye Tianxi only felt the thin sword edge tremble slightly, moving slowly along his skin. The cold air on the sword made people's hairs stand on end, but there was a warm breath approaching from the back of his neck, and the faint smell of incense made him suddenly feel very familiar.
"Your Highness, I know you want me to die a long time ago, but killing me now won't do you any good. You might as well save your energy and think about how to deal with King Ling. After I get rid of him, I can play with Your Highness again." Not too late."
The arrogant and feminine voice was as low as a whisper, and it still made people's teeth itch with hatred, but Ye Tianxi was really extraordinary. The anger just now had disappeared. Now she completely ignored the sharp knife pressing her neck, turned around calmly, and slowly smiled and said: "Mr. Zhuang is very skillful, this king has learned the lesson." He turned his head and shouted to the guards: "I'm not going back! This king is exercising sword skills with Mr. Zhuang. Can you intervene?"
The guards moved back and forth, everyone was in shock. Zhuang Sanliu glanced nonchalantly at the shining swords that had not yet been scabbard, raised his hand, and the soft sword bounced with a "swish", wrapped around his waist like a spirit snake, and turned into a delicate belt.
Suddenly a shadow flashed across Ye Tianxi's heart like lightning, and he was startled.
Zhuang Sanliu flicked his skirt casually: "That's it for tonight, Mr. Zhuang is leaving. Your Highness, please be careful, lest I want to find someone to learn swordsmanship in another day, but I have no opponent."
Before Ye Tianxi could react, his figure flickered, and he jumped onto the high wall of the palace, and the silver-clothed phantom disappeared under the moonlight in an instant.
A gust of wind passed by, and there was still that scent of incense in the air, ambergris! Ye Tianxi suddenly remembered this smell. This kind of rare spice was only commonly used in Hanguang Palace in the dynasty. Recently, Empress Yin rewarded King Zhan with this to marry Princess Khotan. Besides, the only person in the royal family of the Celestial Dynasty who was allowed to use this incense was Empress Xiaozhen during her lifetime. The most beloved youngest son, Ninth Prince, Ye Tianming.
Unexpectedly, a chill passed over Ye Tianxi's body, and she shuddered. Hu Sanniang called out tentatively: "Your Highness?" Who is it!"
Hu Sanniang responded inexplicably, and Fang wanted to ask the reason in detail. A subordinate of the Jade Blood Pavilion rushed into the palace covered in blood, stumbled and threw himself at Ye Tianxi's feet, "The Mingyi Tower attacked Lvyifang at night! Xuanjia Army... Xuanjia Army ..." Before he could finish speaking, he fell to the ground and passed away.
Ye Tianxi kicked away the corpse that was grabbing the corner of his robe, and when he looked up, the Green Clothes Workshop was already full of flames, reflecting the breezy night sky of Yige City red.
On a high ridge, Zhuang Sanliu stopped for a while, turned his head to look at the burning sky not far away, his slender eyes were filled with enchanting blood, which turned into a gloomy sneer.
When he learned the real reason for Princess Ling's premature birth, he knew that King Ling would not let Jade Blood Pavilion survive tonight. However, he never mentioned anything about King Xi, and even entangled with him for a long time for no reason, leaving him no time to respond to King Ling's actions in time. Without the Jade Blood Pavilion, how could King Xi have the ability to take people's lives? What's more, it is still unknown whether he can win a living under King Ling.
The fire burned well, and King Lian Ji was involved in it. At the beginning, he secretly tried to help King Xi to win King Ji to help him, but he never wanted King Ji to come out of this muddy water cleanly.
Kill three birds with one stone! The fire in those eyes was charming and bright. Although things did not develop completely according to the track he expected, it did not prevent him from achieving his goal. The only thing he needs to know now is, when the huge waves in the imperial capital gradually boil to their peak, where will the person he wants be
