Chapter 70: Agreed

Views:

Brother Shu Wuluan blinked his eyelashes, took a step forward, and replied in a deep voice: "I'm afraid I might taint your ears!"

She exchanged palms with the man and fought for a long time. Not only did she notice that his palms were cold to the bone, she couldn't even feel his breath at all. Looking back now, she realized that he was no different from a dead person.

Recalling his clothes, it was obvious that he was wearing the same shroud he wore when he was buried! In other words, that person is probably the dead iron plow.

She didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but such a shocking thing happened, so she couldn't help but not believe it.

Seeing that the day after tomorrow, Tieliang's spirit period would expire and his body could be cremated, but he didn't expect that he would crawl out of the coffin. He had committed a lot of sins in his life, and even in death, he disturbed people!

The woman's undoubted acquiescence made the monarch's face paler. A trace of panic filled his eyes, and even his arms were trembling.

On the other hand, the concubine on the side was slightly calm and held his hand tightly to comfort him, "Don't be afraid! Even if that person is really a dead iron plow, the king is the body of a real dragon and can suppress all evil and evil things! Besides, the theories about ghosts and gods in the world are all made up by ordinary people and are not trustworthy at all. I think that what happened tonight must be someone behind the scenes. I will send someone tomorrow to check the coffin parked in Iron Mansion to see if the body is still there. If you are not here, you can find out the situation and put your mind at ease. However, at present, this matter may cause everyone in the inner palace to panic, so it is better to first seal the mouths of the few palace guards who have seen the evil palace and suppress the rumors. .”

The monarch finally calmed down slightly and nodded.

Brother Shu Wuluan also had the same view on what the empress said. Someone was definitely deliberately manipulating this matter.

She pondered for a moment and then said: "Please rest assured, my lord, I have ordered the patrol battalion and the Royal Forest Army to strengthen the guard. The inner palace is on guard, so we are not afraid of him attacking again. And... his target is the humble minister."

Things happened suddenly tonight, which she didn't expect, but she could see one thing clearly, that is, he came for her. Otherwise, he wouldn't just pester her to kill her!

Her words made the monarch's face soften slightly, but his handsome eyebrows were still frowning solemnly. The concubine comforted her a few words, and then looked at her brother Shu Wuluan's pale and blood-stricken face and said in alarm: "Why do you look so bad?" , but you were injured?"

"It's a small injury. Don't worry, my dear." She was afraid that the concubine would be too worried about tonight, so she downplayed her injuries. However, her face showed something wrong at a glance. .

At this time, the monarch said slowly: "Since you are injured, you should not be careless. Tang Xi, go and ask for the imperial doctor quickly."

An order awakened Eunuch Tang, who was in a daze of fright, and he hurriedly left.

The concubine helped the monarch to sit in the nanmu carved dragon-painted chair, looked back at the woman, and suggested softly to the monarch: "If there is really someone behind the scenes who is manipulating Tieliu's body and is here for Luan'er, then Luan'er will We can no longer stay in the inner palace and wait for him to attack again. Firstly, to ensure the peace of the inner palace, and also to ensure Luan'er's safety, we need to arrange a safe place and choose a good guard to help Luan'er. Take down Tie Plow’s body and uncover the culprit behind the scenes.”

After hearing this, Brother Shu Wuluan's heart tightened, but he didn't say anything.

Although she was worried that once she left the inner palace, she would not be able to ensure the safety of the empress and the king, but if she stayed in the palace, she was even more afraid that the 'iron plow' would attack again and surprise the Holy Emperor. Therefore, the concubine’s suggestion is also a good idea.

Besides, there are many secret guards protecting the monarch, so there won't be any surprises after she leaves.

The monarch frowned slightly, with a little confusion in his handsome eyes. He looked at the concubine and said: "My concubine is right! But where to choose, does my concubine have any opinions?"

"Supervisor Camp."

When these three words came to Ge Shu Wuluan's ears, she immediately felt a tremor in her heart. She knew very well who lived in the supervisory camp.

The thought of being under the same roof with him, and possibly joining forces with him, made her feel dizzy.

Empress, empress! You couldn't have chosen a better place, but you chose the Supervisory Camp!

When I recalled the complicated emotions I had when facing Yan Qisha that day, I felt uncomfortable all over. Although she is full of embarrassment, she cannot ignore the overall situation for her own sake!

Then he nodded leisurely and obeyed the concubine's arrangement.

The monarch swept away the gloom, held the concubine's hand and said, "Okay, just follow the concubine's words. I will later order people to spread the news about Luan'er leaving the palace and temporarily staying in the governor's camp, so as to lure that person into a trap. However, it’s too late tonight, so Wu Luan will leave the palace tomorrow morning and pass the message to Yan Qisha, telling her to help you catch the thief.”

She knew that she had to join forces with him after all.

That’s it! Since the empress is now proposing Yan Qisha, there must be a hidden meaning in it. The empress wants to use this matter to let her find out the background of Yan Qisha.

As soon as the matter was agreed upon, Eunuch Tang walked in from outside the palace, followed by an older and unfamiliar imperial doctor. His face was wrinkled and his eyes were cloudy. He walked up to the monarch and the concubine and saluted slowly. .

The monarch raised his hand and motioned for him to stand up, "Hurry and give Marquis Jinyi a good look."

Then he ordered Tang Xi to bring a chair. Brother Shu Wuluan sat down leisurely. As soon as he sat down, he felt a pulling pain all over his body. She gritted her teeth secretly in pain. It seemed that her internal injuries were really serious.

The old imperial doctor opened his cloudy eyeballs and glanced at Shu Wuluan. He took out a square scarf from the medicine box and placed it on her wrist. He stretched out his dry twig-like fingers to touch her veins.

After consulting for a while, Brother Shu Wuluan looked at the imperial doctor with a solemn look on his face. His eyes turned cold at the right time. The imperial doctor received her look and turned around to report to the monarch: "Master Jin Yihou's body is not seriously injured, it's just his internal strength." If there is some damage, you can return to normal after adjusting your breath and meditating a few times.”

The imperial doctor's comforting words made the concubine put away her worried look, "That's good."

Seeing that the empress was relieved, Brother Shu Wuluan closed his eyes for a moment and said to the imperial doctor: "I have something unclear. Can you please ask the imperial doctor to clear up my confusion?"

Although she had never seen this imperial doctor before, and she never believed in the words of strangers, since he was personally invited by the monarch, he must be a safe and cautious person.

"My lord, please tell me."

"Tonight, when I was fighting with the assassin, I suddenly smelled a strong aroma. After that, I felt dizzy. I wonder why?" If the aroma hadn't made her lose consciousness for a moment, she wouldn't have almost died. The hand of the 'iron plow' would not have accidentally owed the life of the man in black robes. Now she wanted to know why an unknown fragrance came out of nowhere and disturbed her mind.

The imperial doctor thought for a moment, took out a fine silver needle, and said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry! Please endure the pain."

After saying that, she inserted the silver needle into the Hegu point at the tiger's mouth of her jade palm. A slight numbness spread from her hand to the bottom of her heart, making her frown slightly.

The imperial doctor gently turned the silver needle for a moment, and finally pulled it out to check. The lights in the palace were so bright that the color on the silver needle appeared clearly in his eyes.

Purple! If the aroma she smelled was poisonous, the color of the silver needle should be green or black, but right now it was purple!

Ge Shu Wuluan asked doubtfully: "What's the explanation?"

The imperial doctor was stunned for a moment, and finally said with a calm expression: "I am also puzzled for a moment, but please rest assured, sir, that aroma is not poisonous, and will not endanger your health. When I go back, I will read ancient medical books and learn deeply. Do some research and report back to your Excellency."

Ge Shu Wuluan nodded, and the imperial doctor bowed to the monarch and concubine, then slowly withdrew.

The concubine stared at the woman for a moment, as if she had thought about what she had asked the imperial doctor before, and then whispered softly: "You look so bad, please go back to the palace and adjust your breathing."

Brother Shu Wuluan responded softly: "Yes. I am leaving." Just as he was about to bow and leave, he suddenly remembered that he had grounded the eldest prince, and said: "I have one more thing to report to the king, your highness the eldest prince... "

However, she was interrupted by the Great Lord angrily, "You don't have to say anything. I already know the ins and outs of the matter. You did the right thing. As for that evil beast, don't mention it! Just let him calm down." Calm down and stay in Qingxin Palace for a few days to think about it."

Qingxin Palace.

The entire hall is empty and cold, with no extra furnishings. There is only a palace lantern and a long table. On the long table is an incense burner. A few thin incense sticks are quietly inserted in the burner, and little sparks are hidden under the green smoke. The confused smoke drifted around, and finally slowly dissipated.

Looking around the walls with the help of dim candlelight, I saw that the blue wall was covered with Sanskrit Surangama Sutras, and on a futon under the wall, a man was sitting impetuously against the wall.

She was covered in a silk aqua-blue brocade dress with a wide open skirt, revealing her firm and tight chest muscles. She was wearing milky white trousers that were held loosely between her hips.

He leaned against the wall, looking unruly and carefree.

Tonight, he used the female palace maid as a target, just to vent his hatred for his brother Shu Sheng, but he didn't expect that instead of venting his anger, he actually aroused more anger, damn it! His Royal Highness, the eldest prince, is really aggrieved!

Several noisy and complicated footsteps came to his ears again, and Wang Zilang shouted angrily: "You bastard! Why are you so noisy? How can I ask Your Highness to calm down?"

This voice broke through the door, and the palace door opened. The first palace guard cupped his fists and bowed, "Damn it, I disturbed His Highness!"

"What's going on outside?" Wang Zilang glanced at the palace guards rushing past the palace gate one after another and asked.

"Back to Your Highness, Lord Geshu was attacked tonight..."

Before the palace guard could finish speaking, the man sneered and took it, "That dead woman was assassinated? That's great!"

As soon as the words blurted out, the man seemed to have just digested the palace guard's words. He jumped up from the futon in horror and asked urgently: "What did you say? Brother Shu Wuluan was attacked? Is she injured? How is she now? Yes? Has the assassin been caught?"

The man's sudden change in expression and the series of questions made the palace guard confused. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he just stood there blankly, with question marks floating on his forehead. What's wrong with His Highness

When he came to his senses, the man had already walked quickly to the door, "Your Highness, where are you going?"

"Get away!" Wang Zilang shouted angrily and brushed aside the palace guard who came to stop him.

"Your Highness, you can't go out. Have you forgotten that you are still under lockdown?"

A reminder immediately stopped the man in his tracks.

yes! He had forgotten that the dead woman had imprisoned him! Now that I think about it, my teeth itch with hatred, damn it!

But then I thought about the possibility that she might be injured, so why should I care about it? All he could think about was going to see if she was okay

He didn't know why he was so upset now. He just told himself that nothing could happen to her until he lost interest in her!

Seeing that the palace guards were blocking the door responsibly again, he couldn't help but shouted impatiently: "My Highness wants to see my father."

"The monarch has decreed that His Highness should rest here and meditate. If Your Highness does not comply with the decree, this grounding... will be extended indefinitely." The palace guard glanced at the man timidly and said.

"What?!" Upon hearing this, Wang Zilang suddenly became furious. He grabbed the palace guard's clothes and punched him in the chest. He hit the palace guard and rolled to the ground. "Your Highness, calm down..."

The man gritted his teeth and stared coldly at the shivering palace guard. After a moment, the anger on his face slowly dissipated like smoke.

His father has always been strict with him. If he breaks out of the house regardless of his will, I am afraid that the grounding order will definitely be extended.

That’s it! Let's just endure it for the next three days.

Thinking of this, Wang Zilang gradually calmed down, "Let me ask you, is Brother Shu Wuluan injured?"

"Master Geshu only lost some of his internal strength, and there is no serious problem. The assassin was not caught. I heard from the people in front of the emperor that the assassin came for you. It is inevitable that the assassin will attack again and disturb the peace of the inner palace. The monarch has decided to let Mr. Geshu leave the palace tomorrow and go to the governor's camp, in order to lure the thief into the urn and capture him in one fell swoop."

After listening to the palace guard's words, the man relaxed a little.

He frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly bent down, narrowed his eyes at the palace guard and said, "Your Highness, I have something for you to handle."

On a dark night with a cold moon, a group of dark clouds covered the crescent moon with a layer of shadow. Lightning flashed across the ink-like sky. After a while, drizzle began to fall in the sky and fell pattering on the creek in the suburbs, accompanied by gurgling rain. The sound of water flowing made a soft sound.

It was extremely quiet, except for the soft chirping of crickets. At this time, a shallow breathing sound came from the wet grass.

A hooded shadow lay in the dense grass. The dark clothes had been soaked by the drizzle and clung to his slender frame.

He was motionless at this time. If it weren't for the sound of shallow breathing coming out frequently, people would have mistaken him for a dead person.

A cool breeze suddenly blew through, stirring the grass beside the man. Then, a pair of dry hands reached out to him, and then turned over his heavy body, "Why are you injured so badly?!"

The old voice, mixed with horror, seemed extremely abrupt in the silence.

The man moved his dry lips and said with an elegant smile in his deep voice, "Grandma Pi, you are out of seclusion."

As soon as he finished speaking, he spat out a mouthful of black blood.

The old woman called Granny Pi had a plain appearance, her face was wrinkled, and her eyes were cloudy, but her eyes could not hide the sharp light. She pulled away the man's big hand caressing her chest, looked at the wound with black blood, and frowned. Said: "Stop talking! You have been poisoned by corpse poison. Come on, take this pill."

After saying that, he put the taken out pill into his mouth.

A trace of bitterness passed through his throat, and the man's breath was slightly more stable than before.

The old woman looked at the man's whole body and began to scold: "Old lady, I have only been in seclusion for a few months. I didn't expect you to be in such a mess. It's really wasted all the years of martial arts I taught you. Fortunately, I had the foresight, no I ask you to call me master, otherwise you will be really embarrassed!"

The man adjusted his breathing, slowly raised his body and sat up, "Oh, my mother-in-law taught me a lesson! But I asked my mother-in-law not to reveal my injury today to the Lord, ahem..." A few light coughs stopped him. The words behind.

"There is such a big commotion in the palace tonight. Even I know about you. Even if I don't mention it, do you think the Lord is deaf?" The old woman sneered and looked at the man's shaking body, frowning. The wrinkles in the room can kill mosquitoes, "You too, the Lord only allowed you to get close to her, but didn't ask you to protect her. Why did you disregard your life? If I hadn't come out of seclusion in time, the consequences would have been disastrous... "

The man pulled his lips and smiled lightly, stopping the old woman's words at the right time. "Okay, mother-in-law, I finally saved my life, so please stop scolding me. You found her at such a late hour, but what is the Lord's order?"

The old woman's face darkened and she said, "Yes. Someone is losing his temper. Someone is behind what happened tonight. The Lord wants you to track down the whereabouts of the Demon Refining and Poison King as soon as possible."

The man thought for a moment and replied: "Okay. I'll note it down."

As soon as he finished speaking, he continued with a hint of doubt: "There is one more thing that I am a little confused about, and I asked my mother-in-law to explain it to me. Why did the 'Iron Plow' stop attacking Brother Shu Wuluan after he appeared? Attack, if as my mother-in-law said, he was controlled by someone, and it was impossible to escape immediately due to the situation at that time."

An imperceptible solemnity flashed through the old woman's turbid eyes, and her dry voice seemed extremely harsh in the quiet surroundings, "That's because you have a poisonous body, and the ice silkworm poison in your body can avoid that kind of behavior. The sense of smell of the corpse! The person behind the scenes controlled the corpse with smell, and his sense of smell was only the smell of the woman."

After saying that, she slowly stood up and glanced at the man on the ground, a few rays of worry appeared on her old face.

It seems that some things cannot be buried anymore. The Great Shang Dynasty maintained a peaceful scene on the surface, but in fact there was an undercurrent! Once those things are unearthed by interested people, I'm afraid...

The old woman's previous words made the man's long fingers hidden in his sleeves tremble slightly, and he said slowly: "I understand."

Grandma Pi hurriedly put away her thoughts, looked at the treacherous sky in the dark sky, took out a delicate porcelain bottle from her sleeve and threw it to the man's hand, "The corpse poison in you has not been completely resolved, take it back and apply it externally."

The rain gradually became thicker, and a flash of lightning flashed across the sky again. Looking at the grass, the two of them had long disappeared.
