Drunken Exquisiteness

Chapter 149: Strange Flower Coagulation Bai Lingzhi

Views:

The war in the East China Sea lasted from the sixth year of Emperor Yao to the spring of the seventh year. After being expelled from the land, the Japanese pirates became extremely cunning.

The navy of the Celestial Dynasty dealt with it, and there were often fierce battles, with mixed victories and defeats. At the beginning of May of the seventh year, scouts found the warship hidden by the Japanese army on Liuchuan Island. King Zhan ordered to mobilize all the main force of the navy to prepare for a decisive battle with it.

Several battle reports were delivered to the imperial capital, which happened to be Princess Lanyang's first birthday. Emperor Hao never ignored this matter even in his busy schedule, and specially gave a banquet in the palace to show his congratulations.

The maid helped Qing Chen tidy up the flowing ribbons on Luan's clothes. When Qing Chen turned around, a slender shadow was reflected in the bronze mirror. A thousand feet of crimson weaving brocade spread out like flowing clouds, the bright red background was so bright that it made the face a little pale.

She smiled slightly, raised her hand to smear cinnabar, and added rouge to her cheeks, bringing out a charming beauty in that grace and paleness.

The queen of the people in the world should always be luxurious and beautiful, just like the emperor in the eyes of the people in the world, there is only the majesty of unsmiling, and the calmness of advancing and retreating.

Life is like a play, a mask with thousands of colors, sorrows and joys are all behind the scenes, hidden from outsiders.

"Is the emperor still in Wutai Palace?"

"Go back to your mother, the emperor is in the Wutai Palace."

After nearly a year of recuperation, Qing Chen's health has improved quite a bit. Remembering that it has been almost a year since he stepped into the Hall of Martial Arts, he suddenly wanted to surprise Ye Tianling and decided to invite him to a banquet together.

When Luan Yu fell to the front of the hall, it was just the twilight. Looking up, under the vast sky, the golden light of the setting sun outlined the majestic outline of Wutai Hall, majestic and magnificent, overlooking all directions.

Mobei in southern Xinjiang, the Western Regions of the East China Sea, and 1,588 counties in the thirty-six prefectures of the Central Plains. Every day, how many state and military affairs gather here, and how many decision-making edicts are issued from here, taking care of the people's livelihood in this world. Qing Chen slowly stepped up the steps of the palace, stopped at the place where he turned his head, and the whole Yige City could be seen faintly. At this time, the huge city could only be covered by a palm in his eyes, and it was far away into the twilight world of mortals.

She turned around with a smile, but saw several doctors and attendants in front of the corridor coming towards the hall, holding jade boxes and golden lamps in their hands, walking in a bit of a hurry, when they came close, they suddenly saw her and hurriedly bowed and retreated to the side.

"What did you take?" Qing Chen asked.

"Qi Niang Niang, it is the Jade Lingzhi that Nanzhao paid tribute to." A medical attendant bowed his head and replied.

"Who is it for?"

The medicines brought from the Royal Hospital to Wutai Hall are naturally used by no one but the emperor, Qing Chen is nothing more than affirmative. The doctor and attendant had already received the order that the Empress must not be disturbed by the affairs of Wutai Hall, so he hesitated to speak at this time.

Qing Chen frowned, the medical attendant didn't answer, and he didn't answer, he stood there in a panic, when he raised his eyes, he saw Yan Xi coming out of the inner hall, and hurriedly called out: "Eunuch Yan!"

Yan Xi originally came out to urge the medicine, but he didn't expect the queen to be here, so he hastily leaned down: "Your Majesty, Wanan."

Qing Chen asked: "What's wrong with the emperor, why did you come here for the medicine?"

Seeing this situation, Yan Xi knew that he couldn't hide it, so he had to answer truthfully: "The emperor has been feeling a little unwell these days. The imperial doctors said that it was due to overwork that caused the old injury, so he took medicine..."

Before he finished speaking, the phoenix robe fluttered in front of his eyes, and the queen had already walked quickly into the hall, he hurriedly took the medicine from the doctor's hand and followed.

Qing Chen walked outside the Xuanyu screen, heard a low cough from inside, and turned into the screen. Ye Tianling heard the footsteps but did not raise his head. He just pointed to the memorials before the case: "Send these to the Ministry of Education immediately. It is said that Si Weiyun and Nangong came to see me."

Looking down, a hand suddenly stretched out in front of the memorial, and closed the memorial involuntarily. Ye Tianling frowned in displeasure, looked up but was stunned: "Qing'er, why are you here?"

Qing Chen said: "If I don't come, when will you go without telling me?"

Ye Tianling saw Yan Xi behind him standing with his head down holding the medicine box, and guessed eight or nine points. Over the past year, Qing Chen gave birth to a child, luckily the mother and child were safe, even if they were convalescing, there was fear of something wrong, so there was a ban in the palace, no matter what happens inside or outside the six palaces, the queen must not be disturbed. The maids in the palace strictly abide by the order, and no one dares to talk too much. Apart from good news, the middle palace can hear good news. Just like the battle in the East China Sea, there were many twists and turns, but when it came to the queen, it was just smooth sailing. The emperor's dragon body is not in good condition, and only a few servants in Wutai Hall know about it, so naturally it will not spread to the central palace.

Ye Tianling smiled and said, "It's worth making such a fuss about such a big deal."

Qing Chen sat down and stretched out his hand, but Ye Tianling cooperated, so he lowered his hand to feel her pulse. Qing Chen tested his pulse, his brows gradually frowned, and after a pause, Ye Tianling asked, "Relax?"

Qing Chen asked him back: "Compare your heart to your heart, if it were you, are you in a hurry?"

Ye Tianling didn't want her to learn those words, so he shook his head helplessly, pursed his thin lips slightly, and suppressed the cough that rushed to his mouth. Qing Chen tested that his pulse was floating and weak, and the pulse position was shallow, but it was due to poor Yang Qi and deep loss. He couldn't help being very surprised, and motioned Yan Xi to bring the medicine first, and said: "In this way, you also keep it from me. The injury is serious, and you don't take it to heart at all, so how can you reassure others?"

Ye Tianling smiled lightly and said, "I'll tell you the truth, thinking about the injuries I've suffered in half my life, the arrow wounds are worth it the most."

Qing Chen lowered his head, only raised his eyes to cast a glance at him, and opened the jade box containing the medicine in his hand. The white jade creamy ointment, with a touch of blood red faintly entangled in it, is both beautiful and glamorous. Nanzhao Jade Lingzhi is condensed from the essence of eight kinds of exotic flowers. It has miraculous effects in healing wounds and relieving pain, and is also a good nourishing medicine.

Qing Chen melted the medicine with clear dew, and the medicinal fat melted in the jade cup, bringing out a faint fragrance. She stirred slowly with the golden spoon, suddenly her hands stopped, and a strange look flashed across her eyes, and then she took a little medicine and tasted it herself, after careful identification, she was horrified and shocked, and she suddenly stood up in front of the case. Get up: "Where did this medicine come from?"

Yan Xi was taken aback by the side, and hurriedly replied: "Go back to your mother, all the medicines used by the emperor come from the imperial pharmacy."

"Who made the prescription?"

"The Imperial Physician Order Huang Wenshang."

"How long has the Emperor been using this medicine?"

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty used it last year, but only three or two times. That is to say, I started to use it every day after working hard due to the war in the East China Sea in the past few months."

The queen was always calm and gentle, and it was rare for her to be so stern, which really scared Yan Xi a lot. Ye Tianling saw Qing Chen questioning Yan Xi sentence by sentence, his face changed, and he knew something was wrong, but he just shook her hand and asked her to sit down, "What's wrong?"

Qing Chen's palms were covered with cold sweat, he turned his head and said, "This medicine is not Jade Lingzhi."

The jade shadow floats in front of the Taiye Pool, the Qiong Pavilion shines on the water, and the Yushu streams light.

At night, thousands of exquisite palace lanterns have already been hung in the imperial garden, dotted with stars, meandering and winding, connecting along the turns of the Linshui Palace Pavilion, the sound of silk and bamboo sings softly, and the green grass and Lanzhi are fragrant everywhere, floating around the nine-curved corridor , intoxicating.

Laughter is full of flowers, and fine wine is poured over the crystal cup. Because it was a family banquet, the hall was full of royal relatives, princes and grandchildren, and the atmosphere was relaxed and lively.

After the imperial case, the emperor and the queen sat side by side. The little princess is watched by her nurse and sits next to her. She is dressed in embroidered purple, with pearls on her neck. She is like an ice-snow little person, who looks like a jade carving. When she smiles, her eyebrows and eyes are curved, and the jade bell in her hand is jingling. She is very cute. , Only those who came forward to toast and celebrate were full of praise.

If it was normal, Qing Chen must be very happy, but today he was just distracted, although holding the cup and smiling as usual, he looked at Ye Tianling from time to time. Under the shadow of the bright lights, he thinned the corners of his lips and smiled faintly. He was drinking and talking with everyone, and there was no difference in his expression. I don't know if it was because of that smile or a bit of alcohol, but his face was more handsome and charming. It was eye-catching, but the more so, the more confused she was.

Nanzhao Yulingzhi, the medicine he took for several months is clearly not a good medicine for healing injuries.

If you say no, it is true, if you say yes, it is no longer true. Just because the dose of one of the eight exotic flowers has been increased—a hibiscus.

A hibiscus, with bright red flowers and a thousand clusters of leaves, charming and beautiful, rich and beautiful without diminishing Danko. The "Ben Jing" contains its medicine, which has the miraculous effect of analgesia, can suddenly increase the spirit, relieve fatigue, and is worth a thousand gold. However, although its merits in curing diseases were urgent, it caused serious disasters.

It can be used to treat people as medicine, and it can be used to kill people as poison. It's a poison that won't kill people immediately, but people become addicted to taking it, and eventually become weak and depressed.

No one knows the horror of this medicine better than Qing Chen. She has seen people who are in pain because of it, and the pain is unimaginable for ordinary people. As long as he thinks that such poison has settled in Ye Tianling's body, he will feel bottomless fear.

Did the imperial doctor use the wrong medicine, or did someone have other plans? If someone did it on purpose, who was it? Kan Kanxuan used such an insidious and undetectable method when she was convalescing from illness

It was discovered in Wutai Hall just now, nothing was announced, but the imperial doctor ordered Huang Wenshang and several doctors who usually provided medicines in the imperial pharmacy were called into the palace and were immediately detained in secret.

Although Ye Tianling was unwell, the little princess's birthday celebration was held as usual, and it was still full of joy and joy.

After thinking about it, he was not completely sure that he could detoxify the poison of the drug. At this moment, Qing Chen's heart was burning like fire, and he didn't have any thoughts on the feast, and even the hostess reported to the little princess to perform Zhou's rituals. No voice was heard. Ye Tianling raised his eyebrows slightly, then reached out to shake her hand, and said in a low voice, "My daughter is waiting for us."

Qing Chen came back to his senses and found that Yuan Yu had been carried away, Ye Tianling got up and took her down the jade steps.

She held his hand between the bottom of her sleeve, and felt that the fingertips were as cold as snow, but the smile on his face was warmer than ever before, and the deep black eyes were full of reassuring composure. Asked: "What do you want your daughter to catch?"

The brocade table and jade table have already been set up in the hall, on which there are toys of gold, silver and seven treasures, study books, rouge and gouache, colorful satin flowers, official coins, female workers' needlework, and various treasures and treasures. Everyone is waiting to see if the little princess will take it first. Either way, I thought it was a good prophecy. Qing Chen had no time to think about it, he just said: "Anything is fine, whatever she likes is that."

Ye Tianling smiled, and the little princess was carried onto the brocade mat. She looked around with a pair of clear and bright eyes, scanning all the things in front of the case, but she didn't seem to be interested in anything. After a while, she stood up unsteadily from the brocade mat, turned around and opened her small hands and called out clearly to Ye Tianling: "Father!" Then she staggered and threw herself on him.

This "Father Emperor" suddenly grabbed Qing Chen's heart, Yuan Yu was one year old, and the words "Father Emperor" and "Mother Empress" were taught to her more than once or twice, but she refused to learn a single word no matter what. , Could it be that father and daughter are united today

The daughter flung herself into her arms, but Ye Tianling, who was normally calm, was a little at a loss. He hurriedly caught her, and the child's silver-like laughter came from his ears. Yuan Yu had already pulled a piece of Xuanlong jade pendant from his waist Hold on.

Li Wang smiled and said: "This is a strange thing. She doesn't want so many things in front of her eyes, but she just likes the dragon pendant of the emperor's brother. Could it be that she doesn't love rouge and loves heaven and earth?"

The female officer in charge of the ceremonies also said: "The little princess looks like a dragon and a phoenix, she doesn't like these vulgar things!"

Everyone was amazed, Ye Tianling hugged Yuan Yu vigorously, and immediately rewarded her with the dragon pendant that symbolized the status of the emperor, and said with a loud smile: "My daughter, so what if I want this world? I will give it to you as well." Her." After finishing speaking, he looked at Qing Chen and raised his sword eyebrows lightly.

How could Qing Chen not understand what he meant? He was telling her honestly that he didn't care if the prince was a princess, as long as it was their child, he could use the world to pamper her.

But at this moment, the whole world is not worth a single cent of him to her.

As the crown prince was involved, no one in the palace dared to accept the emperor's words, so many people had different expressions on their faces, and it was wonderful. As soon as Feng Yan, who was in the honored seat, looked up, he fell on Yuanxiu, the son of Prince Zhan who was beside the queen.

The child was only eight years old, but he was born with handsome eyebrows and bright eyes, and his talents were very different. Standing beside the queen, he was dressed in a brocade robe and beaded crown. Now that the queen has given birth to a princess, the imperial doctor has already asserted that the queen should not have any more children, and the son of King Zhan has been enshrined as a king, and has been ordered to enter the palace to be educated. The meaning behind this is quite self-evident.

If Prince Zhan's son is established in the future, then the Feng family is destined to come to a dead end. Feng Yan looked at the stern and cold emperor in the palace, and Li Wang who had an unruly smile, and then thought about the outstanding military exploits of Zhan Wang, and secretly snorted, with a gloomy look in his eyes. The Feng family has been prominent for a hundred years, how can they wait to be slaughtered, even if they are the royal family
