My father's concubine probably doesn't have a great reputation in the underworld, but my mother told me that Concubine Feng Qing's family is a distant branch of the Miao and Li tribes. The Miao and Li are experts in using Gu and poison. Over time, the Gu techniques have been lost, but some of the poison techniques have been passed down."
King Rui glanced at him and said, "That's a bit tricky."
He took something out of his bosom and put it on the pillow. "Chu'er, your lips are purple. I guess you have a heart disease. The kick from your ninth brother was not light. If you feel pain in your heart, take this medicine. Don't worry about your maid. I will do my best to treat her."
When Qiaochu looked over, he saw the small jade bottle he had given her in the garden under the pillow. But he noticed that Bishui's expression changed slightly and her lips were half open. Jingping glanced at her quickly and she regained her composure.
"Take a break. If you want to eat something, just tell Bishui to do anything."
Warmth suddenly came from the top, Qiaochu was startled, it turned out to be King Rui who touched her.
He then walked to the side of the bed, where there was a square table with paper and ink on it. He quickly wrote something on the paper and walked to Bishui, "Fry according to this prescription. You watch the fire yourself and ask the kitchen to prepare some food. When the medicine is ready, bring it to the girl."
Bishui pursed her lips and lowered her head in response.
Prince Rui lifted his clothes and went out with Jingping.
Qiaochu was worried about the beauty, so she couldn't sleep. She propped herself up and sat up, but saw Bishui suddenly turn around and stare at her gently, so she said softly, "Thank you, Miss Bishui."
Bishui appeared for her, bowed, and said lightly: "I don't deserve it. Miss, please take a rest. Bishui will be back to serve you later."
After Bishui walked away, Qiaochu slowly got down from the bed with the help of the bedwei, walked to the window and opened it. He glanced around and saw that there was no one around, then threw the medicine bottle in his hand out fiercely.
The honest young man Jingqing in the garden and Bishui just now seemed to care about the medicine in the bottle. However, no matter how precious the medicine was or anything else, she didn't want to touch it.
Bishui is not simple. If I am not mistaken, this woman is most likely the maid of King Rui.
King Rui is even more extraordinary!
From the moment King Rui sprinkled the water on the flowers in the garden, she had been thinking about one thing, something that was almost overlooked.
Text 045 Who will feel the most distressed (5)
It seemed that no one except the emperor and Prince Rui knew that Prince Rui had disguised himself as Lao Tie and visited each room to observe the candidate women under the guise of replacing sandalwood. Therefore, when Prince Rui came out and hugged her and took off his Lao Tie disguise, Prince Xia was surprised.
However, Lao Tie did exist, because when Lao Tie came in, King Xia quickly recognized him and called him by his name.
Before Prince Xia and Prince Rui developed a rift because of her today, she dared to bet that Xia and Rui must have had a certain friendship, and Prince Xia must have been a frequent visitor to Prince Rui's mansion.
Why
According to the Dongling Palace rules, the princes were raised by their mothers or the empresses appointed by the emperor before the age of twelve, and they had to move out of the palace and live in a new residence after the age of twelve. This was done to prevent the princes from having affairs with the empresses, as there were three thousand beauties in the harem and the young princes were full of vigor.
Of the more than 30 sons of Emperor Rongrui, about 15 moved out of the harem when they were 12 years old. Dongling men came of age at the age of 18, and nine of the 15 had already performed the ceremony of coming of age. The princes who had not yet come of age were raised by eunuchs and high-ranking female officials sent from the palace, and the eunuchs were in charge of the affairs of the palace; while those who had come of age were given titles according to the status of their mothers' concubines, and in addition to handling various affairs assigned by the emperor, they also dominated the power of the palace.
Although all the princes who came of age were given titles, the titles were very particular. In the Dongling harem, the most noble were the imperial concubines, below the empress, and there were only two or three of them. The sons of the empress and the imperial concubines were given the title of "Prince"; the sons of the concubines below the imperial concubine, such as the virtuous, virtuous, and virtuous, were given the title of "Shuwang"; and the princes born to concubines whose rank was below that of a concubine were given the title of "Chuwang".
The mother of King Xian was Queen Lang. Except for Concubine Chang, the mother of King Rui, who had passed away, the other two concubines, the mothers of King Xia and King Ning, were still alive.
The prince's life story was the most bizarre. Legend has it that his biological mother was a commoner woman, but she was the most beloved woman of Emperor Rongrui. This queen had never entered the palace in her life and died of dystocia when giving birth to the prince. Her relationship with the emperor lasted only a few years, but the emperor remembered her all his life and named her son the prince.
Therefore, among these nine princes, except the Crown Prince, King Xian, King Xia, King Ning and King Rui were promoted to princes. The Crown Prince enjoyed a special-grade house and monthly salary, while the princes enjoyed a first-grade house and monthly salary.
Although Prince Rui was not favored before he went on the Western Expedition, according to the history of the Dongling Kingdom, the son is noble because of the mother, and the palace accessories (slaves, land, etc.) of this prince's mansion were of great importance.
Just now, when Prince Rui was carrying her through the courtyard, there were many servants along the way, at least fifty or sixty of them, including several extremely beautiful maids. This number did not include all the servants in the palace. If all were counted, there would probably be no less than several hundred people in Prince Rui's palace.
With so many slaves, including many beautiful maids, if a distinguished guest like King Xia came to the palace, would King Rui let his ugly and disabled friend come out to serve tea or other things
The answer is absolutely no!
And at this time, the first key came.

Thank you for your gifts and messages, and for always being with me.
In ancient times, the coming-of-age ceremony was the hairpin ceremony for girls and the cap ceremony for boys. Common girls reached the hairpin age of 15, and boys reached the cap at 20. Because the timing of the coming-of-age ceremony was slightly different in the royal family considering hereditary rule, it is difficult to generalize.

Judging from the disguise of King Rui, "Lao Tie" is more like an ordinary servant. King Xia has very few opportunities to see servants. Moreover, there must be more than one Lao Tie like this servant with some defects, because King Xia once said that Bage likes to use people like you. However, King Xia mentioned Lao Tie's name at the first opportunity.
That only means that before Prince Rui went to war, Prince Xia must have come to Prince Rui's mansion many times, so he knew Lao Tie.
Everyone can do something to add icing on the cake, but King Rui is not favored, and there must not be many brothers who can visit him often, but King Xia came. Such a friendship cannot be too shallow.
In this case, why would Shangguan Jinghong risk the life and death of her brother to report him to the emperor? Is it worth it for her? The words "Ninth brother, do you need to clean your boots? I will do it for you" are still ringing in my ears.
She didn't know if there was anyone in the world who could love someone at first sight, but if he really loved her, why would he rather let her get hurt? Before King Xia kicked the four, when the situation was tense, "Lao Tie" had always stood behind King Xia! He could have stopped it, so why did he wait for the emperor to come before leaving
Everything has a cause and an effect. She was injured first, and he impeached King Xia later, or was this cause and effect that everyone saw reversed? He wanted to impeach King Xia first, so he wanted her to be injured.
But Qiaochu stared at the flower garden outside the window. If he was trying to gain power, wouldn't he be losing the big picture for the small
If he wanted to follow the prince, he should marry Wang Yuzhi or Qiaorong; if he wanted to be with Prince Qin, he should marry Lang Linling; if he wanted to be on good terms with Prince Ning, he should have stopped Qin Qiuyu in the first round, because the Qin family has always followed Prince Ning's lead.
The King of Xia seemed not to like to use marriage ties to form alliances, and did not send his followers to send his daughter to the competition. If he was willing to help the King of Xia succeed, he would never offend the King of Xia in this way.
If he wanted to form his own faction, he should still marry one of these women and try to separate the family power behind them from his brothers and use it for his own benefit, without offending King Xia.
Why did he choose her? She couldn't guess what this man was thinking, even a little bit.
But he did watch her get hurt so calmly and let King Ning do that.
The sky outside was bright blue and clear, but she felt as if a net was locking her throat, choking her and dragging her into the unknown and gloomy world of power and desire of the Dongling royal family.
There was a sudden noise outside the door.
The person seemed to be in a hurry. It was not until he broke in that she heard a low, hoarse male voice scolding, "Jingqing, how dare you! How can I allow you to barge into my room? Do you think you can handle the consequences of scaring the girl?"
Qiaochu looked and saw two men, one in front and one behind. They were the palace steward Fang Ming and the honest young man Jing Qing.
At this moment, the young man's face flushed, his eyes anxious, staring at her strangely, spreading his hands and asking, "Where is my medicine?"

Jingqing's eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Jingping's, and their names are similar, so they seem to be brothers. However, Jingping looks handsome and elegant, and his words and deeds are deep and steady; Jingqing still has a bit of youthful immaturity, and although his face is honest, his emotions are clearly visible, which is completely different from Jingping's secretive and bookish air.
Although Jing Qing did not specify what medicine he mentioned, Qiao Chu knew that he was talking about the jade bottle that King Rui gave her and that she had thrown away.
She looked directly at Fang Ming.
Fang Ming stepped forward, bowed slightly and said, "Young lady, I have always had a foot disease, so I have to stay indoors. Today I rode a good horse that can travel a thousand miles a day to rush back to Chaoge. I don't know why my old disease has recurred. When I was treating the beautiful lady, I suddenly fell down. My foot is in great pain."
Qiaochu was startled, and suddenly remembered the bumpy ride he had just experienced while being carried, so he walked very fast.
"Usually one lotus pill is enough. I heard that the medicine master gave it to the young lady, so I came to ask the young lady for one."
"Lian Dan?"
"That is a pill made from lotus flowers grown in cold and harsh lands. This flower has a very long flowering period, blooming only once every thousand years. It is a raw material for treating rare diseases in the world, and is the best for various heart diseases and severe pain—"
"Uncle Fang, why are you talking so much to her?" Jing Qing interrupted Fang Ming anxiously, "That's my master's precious medicine. He usually doesn't want to take more than he should, but today he gave her two pills at once, and now he gave her the whole bottle."
"Why don't you give it back to me?" The young man suddenly changed his tone and stared at her aggressively.
Qiaochu was caught off guard and took several steps back. Only then did he understand why Jingqing and Bishui's faces changed just now. He never expected that the medicine was so precious.
"Jingqing, are you rebelling?" Fang Ming pulled Xiang Jingqing over, his brows and eyes showing anger, "The girl is the one I value most, do you want to make me unhappy?"
Jing Qing was stunned, like a deflated ball, he walked up to Qiaochu and whispered, "Girl, please give me the medicine."
Qiaochu was also a little confused at this time. After thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "Look at my forgetful temper. I don't know where I put the medicine that Master Ba just gave me. Now I am in a hurry and I even forgot to put it aside. Why don't you two go back and take care of Master Ba first, and I will send the medicine over as soon as I find it."
Jing Qing said angrily, "How come you even forgot this? Did you forget to eat?"
Jing Qing looked like he was going to beat her up. Qiaochu was anxious, but now she was angry and amused. She glanced at Fang Ming, who seemed to have seen something. Although he looked anxious, he remained calm and respectful, "Then I'll have to trouble you, young lady."
Outside the window was a large flower garden. After the two men said goodbye and left, Qiaochu cursed under his breath and began to look for the damn jade bottle.
The two maids guarding the door saw Qiaochu touching her chest and half of her body went into the flower garden. They asked curiously: "Miss, what are you looking for? Let us help you find it."
Qiaochu tried to force out a smile, "No need to trouble you two sisters, I'm just playing with planting flowers."

After a long while, he finally dug out the bottle from the mud, but saw a pair of shoes dropped in front of him.
She grumbled inwardly, brushed off the dirt on her body, and stood up.
The person who came was Jingping.
He glanced at the bottle in Qiaochu's hand and said, "My lady, please forgive me. It's not that I'm urging you on purpose, but you're in so much pain that I have to come and bother you."
"Qiaochu was reckless. I don't know how the bottle rolled here." Qiaochu knew that Jingping would definitely see through the problem, so he decided to play dumb and handed the jade bottle to Jingping.
"Thank you, girl."
