Chapter 272: Who do you choose

"Three Thousand Transformation Needles" is actually an ancient acupuncture method that Rourou discovered from ancient books. wWw!QunabEn!COmThis kind of acupuncture method has very high requirements on doctors. First, the gold needle used must be twelve inches long. Secondly, the technique must be fast, and one hundred and eight golden needles must be inserted within ten breaths.

Twelve-inch golden needles are generally very soft and difficult to use without considerable internal strength and control. Most doctors use eight-inch silver needles. The second point is even more demanding. For an ordinary doctor, the next injection would take half a day, let alone one hundred and eight injections, which must be done within ten breaths, which is nothing short of a fantasy.

At home, the only ones who can perform this kind of acupuncture are Xiao Yueye and Rourou. Although Yansha and the others have sufficient skills, they know very little about medicine.

At this moment, Murong Xiu already knew the whole story. Although he was a little dissatisfied with what Xiao Yueye had done, his joy outweighed everything else. She was now holding Murong Yufeng's hand tightly and staring at Xiao Yueye's movements.

After untying Su Jing's clothes, Xiao Yueye calmed down and slowly brushed his left hand over Su Jing's chest, rising and falling like a wave. Strangely, Su Jing's body actually followed Xiao Yueye's movements, rising and falling, slowly making corresponding movements.

Xiao Yueyue shouted loudly, and placed her right hand on Su Jing's chest and abdomen, making a pressing gesture. Immediately, Su Jing's area dented as if he had been hit by something. In the eyes of others, it was very strange. Xiao Yueye didn't care whether it was strange or not, her expression was solemn, and her left hand slowly pulled up. Su Jing's body and Xiao Yueye's hand seemed to be connected by an invisible thread. Following Xiao Yueye's movements, his body slowly rose upwards.

It's now!

Xiao Yueye's eyes flashed, and her idle right hand danced gently, seemingly very slowly, but in that moment, it brought out endless phantoms. These phantoms appeared on Su Jing's entire body, constantly changing. And among these phantoms, a golden light shines from time to time, and finally disappears into nothingness.

Exhaling a breath, Xiao Yueye took back her right hand. At this time, it was discovered that Su Jing had one hundred and eight golden needles inserted crookedly on his body.

It was not the time to relax yet, Xiao Yueye's left hand was more cautious than before, and he slowly pressed down to restore Su Jing's body to its original position.

Although this action took only ten breaths, Xiao Yueye felt emotionally and mentally exhausted, and the sweat on his head flowed down his face. Although he was very confident, the name of his brother also made him very stressed.

Yansha went over to support Xiao Yueye, and a strong inner energy was transmitted from his vest, flowing through Xiao Yueye's eight extraordinary meridians. Xiao Yueyue smiled gently at Yansha, all kinds of tenderness, all without words.

Murong Xiu's eyes widened and she walked carefully to Su Jing's side. She wanted to hold his hand, but was afraid of affecting the treatment. Xiao Yueye smiled: "Xiu'er, wait a little longer and I can take away the golden needle."

"Then, is he okay?"

Xiao Yueye shook her head: "To be precise, Su Jing is still wandering between life and death."

"What?" Murong Xiu trembled violently and looked at Xiao Yueye in disbelief. The tears that disappeared in his eyes began to gather again.

Xiao Yueye hurriedly explained: "I didn't make it clear. In the eyes of outsiders, Su Jing is wandering between life and death. This is to deceive others, and also for the future of both of you. In fact, I can only say that I will not die. What are the details? , you have to ask Rourou.”

Giving Xiao Yueye an angry look, Rourou raised a smile, held Murong Xiu's cold hand and said, "Don't worry, Su Jing will be fine. But he will have to nurse himself back to health for at least ten days before he can fully recover. Snake Venom Although he was forced out, Su Jing's meridians and internal organs were damaged to varying degrees. You will have to take care of him for the next ten days. "

Murong Xiu's face turned red, she glanced at Su Jing who was breathing evenly, and said in a mosquito-like voice: "As long as he is fine, it doesn't matter what I do."

Seeing her look like this, all the women present smiled knowingly. Xiao Yueye estimated that the time was up, and slowly brushed her right hand over Su Jing's chest, and all the golden needles disappeared.

Rourou had already prepared a knife. When Xiao Yueye lifted Su Jing upside down, she quickly made a cut in Su Jing's palm. All the toxins in her body flowed into the copper basin below along with the black blood. inside.

After the detoxification was completed, the fried medicine was brought out from the kitchen. The remaining time was naturally given to Su Jing and Murong Xiu.

. . . . . .

After Hu Long secretly spread the news, Su Jing's deeds of fighting three levels for the princess and almost returning to the underworld soon spread throughout the capital. Whether in restaurants, teahouses, or other public places, you can hear the exaggerated arguments of storytellers. For a time, Su Jing became the representative of infatuated men and the popular lover in the hearts of women in the capital. The women standing at the door of Xiao Mansion and the pile of gifts every day gave Xiao Yueye's family a headache. This also directly led to the fact that every day when the Xiao family's servants went out to buy groceries, they had to make a big circle through the back door and change their appearance, otherwise they would definitely be surrounded by people asking how Su Jing was doing now.

The news that Su Jing was currently undergoing emergency treatment naturally led to him taking a walk. There were many officials coming to visit every day, so naturally Xiao Yueye was in the process of treatment and could not be harassed or blocked. He also knew at that time that if you don't show something to everyone, how can you block your ulterior motives

Therefore, when the eldest prince Murong Gong came according to the order, Xiao Yueye let him see the scene of several mysterious people trying their best to rescue Su Jing. The strong smell of medicine, the skinny and black Su Jing lying on the bed, the sad and depressing atmosphere in the whole room, plus Murong Xiu who was already a little sluggish, all these together became the most powerful... evidence.

That is, Su Jing is indeed still wandering between life and death.

Murong Gong was unpredictable. As the prince of a country, he naturally had to believe his words. Therefore, Zhang Dehai, Zhang Dehai and others who were still doubtful at first breathed a sigh of relief and sent someone to deliver some medicinal materials. But no one knows what they are thinking.

Xiao Yueye made so many arrangements, from persuading Murong Liuyun to let Murong Xiu "pursue her husband thousands of miles away" a long time ago, to arranging for Su Jing and Murong Xiu to cook raw rice, to the sudden marriage proposal in the main hall, to the three passes The test can be said to be one step after another, calculated step by step.

Although he had some bad intentions, which did not rule out the reason of watching a good show and making pranks, more importantly, he wanted to promote the marriage of his good brother and sister.

The royal family is different from ordinary people. In the marriage of a princess, the first thing to consider is not love, but interests. If it weren't for Xiao Yueye, if Murong Liuyun didn't like his son so much, if it wasn't for Xiao Yueye's complete confidence, Murong Xiu would never be with Su Jing.

Because of profit!

Although Su Jing is a newcomer who has developed very quickly in recent years, he has no foundation. Even if he and Murong Xiu were in love again, with Murong Liuyun's temperament, he would still choose Mo Hangyu or Zhang Tao who had enough benefits.

But Xiao Yueye's action broke the old routine. It can't be said that it was intentional, but at least Xiao Yueye slowly promoted the current process invisibly. He has the greatest strength, which is the identity of the guardian dragon and his prince.

Murong Liuyun's bottom line is not to break the current balance, and Xiao Yueye finds a way out for the love between Su Jing and Murong Xiu on this bottom line. He did indeed do it. Now, even if the unpredictable Zhang Dehai is dissatisfied, they have all suffered from this, or in other words, they have acquiesced to this fact.

If Su Jing can survive by chance, then he will be the consort.

Xiao Yueye has made the last move, which is to make up a love story that is seven parts real and three parts fictional, and spread it out, making it widely talked about for a while. Even the children on the roadside know the great and touching love between Su Jing and the princess.

Just as Xiao Yueye thought, Su Jing and Murong Xiu already had the advantage in public opinion among the people, and it was impossible to change the fact that they were together.

Over the past few days, the entire Xiao Mansion has created a sad and serious atmosphere. Su Jing also acted as if he was about to die in front of others. Three or four days passed like this before Xiao Yueye let people spread some happy news. : After several days and nights of treatment by strangers in the world, I finally found a way to detoxify him.

Xiao Yueye no longer needs to worry about the rest.

In the stone room where the dragon was protected, Xiao Yueye was waiting for Murong Liuyun's arrival. He glanced at the people standing next to him and asked strangely: "Where are Lord Tian and Lord Earth?"

"They all have something to do. They left the capital a few days ago." Mr. Ren, a big man, also replied with some doubts. The brothers have been here for decades and rarely separated. This time Master Tian and Master Earth actually said one after another that they would leave the capital to inspect the conditions of the people below, which really puzzled him.

You know, of the two of them, one is in charge of the royal family and the other is in charge of the officials. Even if they conduct inspections, they are still responsible for it, right? !

Xiao Yueye raised her eyebrows, obviously also confused. But no matter how smart he was, he couldn't figure out that these two people were afraid that they would "settle the score later" and fled in advance.

"Ye'er, are you already here?" When Xiao Yueye was thinking about it, Murong Liuyun had already walked in with a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty." Xiao Yue held her hands in front of her.

He sighed in his heart. In fact, Murong Liuyun wanted Xiao Yueye to call him "Father", but unfortunately, he also knew that it was not possible yet.

"I came to you this time. You should have guessed what's going on, right?" Murong Liuyun sat down, poured two cups of tea, and then handed one to Xiao Yueye. The latter was slightly stunned, and there seemed to be some unspeakable changes in his heart.

"Well, Su Jing is actually fine. Xiu'er is living in my house now." Xiao Yueye did not drink tea, but explained the matter clearly first.

Murong Liuyun smiled, without a trace of surprise in his eyes: "I guess so, you are taking every step, how could you let something happen to Su Jing? What's more, you are still Liu'er's apprentice! In fact, what I mainly want to ask is Xiu'er. Hey , Although you left Mo Zhiqi and Zhang Dehai speechless this time, the people in the harem were still having fun! If I hadn't suppressed them, I'm afraid Xiu'er would have been sent back to the palace. "

A trace of disdain flashed through his eyes, and Xiao Yueye said calmly: "After Xiu'er marries Su Jing, you don't have to worry about this."

Murong Liuyun nodded, and then said seriously: "I came today because I actually have some important things to ask you. Ye'er, tell me honestly, which camp is Su Jing from?"

Xiao Yueyue took a sip of tea and said playfully: "Your Majesty, which camp do you think Su Jing belongs to?"

"He was able to become famous in the capital for a while, although it was because of his talent and academic skills, but it was also the driving force behind Song Chuan. Later he served in the Ministry of Rites, and he was on an unpredictable side. But during the negotiations with the Mongolian Yuan Kingdom, he seemed to have another relationship with Zhang Dehai. It's a bit involved. Ye'er, Su Jingneng's appointment as governor of Shuiyun Province is not as simple as you think. His ability and communication skills are indeed good, coupled with his relationship with the Yangtze Gang, so he took the position of Shuiyun. The position of provincial governor is okay. But the real reason is that Song Chuan, Mu Zhiqi, and Zhang Dehai all wanted to win over Su Jing, so they unanimously appointed this second-rank official. The position was given to him, hoping to train Su Jing to become a general under his command. However, for more than a year, Su Jing still had no specific loyalties to these three people, but he couldn't help it.

Frowning, when Su Jing became the governor of Shuiyun Province, Xiao Yueye knew that it was not as simple as he thought, but he did not expect that there were so many secrets in it. Speaking of which, Su Jing was lucky enough to get this position. Writing the year like this, under the secret promotion of Murong Liuyun, the imperial court was in a three-legged status quo. Although Song Chuan's power was slightly weaker, it was clear that he was supported by Murong Liuyun, so he was not afraid of the other two forces at all. The snipe and the clam are fighting, and the fisherman benefits. What's more, there is a tall Murong Liuyun who is checking and balancing, so now, the three forces are in a very strange balance.

However, if given the opportunity, these three people would annex other forces without mercy.

Over the years, although many talents have emerged, they were all divided up by three people at the beginning.

Until Su Jing and Song Hu appeared. Among the three people, the one who attracts the most attention is naturally Song Chuan's son, Song Hu, who is ranked second in the martial arts rankings. He is 100% Song Chuan's faction. Then the remaining Su Jing is something to look forward to. Song Chuan made everyone in the capital see Su Jing's talent and ability, but they did not completely conquer Su Jing, so the other two forces were tempted.

At the beginning, Song Chuan didn't know whether he was smart or too confident. He actually placed Su Jing in the unpredictable camp, while Song Hu was sent to the military camp and Zhang Dehai's sphere of influence based on his own wishes.

Perhaps at the beginning, Song Chuan firmly believed that the two of them would definitely be on his side.

But the reality may not be what he thought. Song Hu went to the military camp, but he was convinced by Zhang Dehai. Su Jing, on the other hand, stayed with Mo Zhiqi and Song Chuan. After Xiao Yueye arrived, he moved out directly.

Later, by chance, the position of Governor of Shuiyun Province became vacant. Before that, Su Jing had made two great achievements in a row. Murong Liuyun also intended to cultivate him, and implicitly proposed that he be appointed governor of Shuiyun Province. But for such a position of a provincial official, many people are eyeing it. If it weren't for the unpredictable behavior of the three of them, it might not be Su Jing's turn.

After thinking about this rapidly in his mind, Xiao Yueye asked calmly: "Can't you control them?"

What he asked was a bit too presumptuous. If it were anyone else, Murong Liuyun would probably have someone pull him out and kill him.

Murong Liuyun smiled coldly, an imperial aura radiating out, boundless self-confidence, and boundless domineering: "If it were ten years ago, I might not be able to control them. But after all these years, they all understand in their hearts, Because it didn't touch my bottom line, I turned a blind eye. Their balance over the years has saved me a lot of trouble, so I don't want anyone to destroy this balance easily. They also know this in their hearts, so sometimes they will seek some benefits for themselves, but I just don't care about it. I can also destroy them."

Although he did not explain it directly, Xiao Yueye could understand what Murong Liuyun meant from his domineering words.

It’s not that I can’t, but that I don’t want to.

Murong Liuyun was a successful emperor, and he understood the true meaning of balance.

After taking a sip of tea, Murong Liuyun relaxed his tone and continued: "However, if they are not treasonous, I am not willing to destroy the current balance."

"Actually, it's Xiu'er's happiness?" Xiao Yueye said lightly, with an unspeakable sarcasm on her lips.

"That's right." Murong Liuyun said straightforwardly: "Compared to a country, Xiu'er is really insignificant, even if she is my daughter. Royal marriage has always been a combination of interests. If it weren't for you this time, If it weren't for your plan, it would be impossible for Xiu'er to be with Su Jing. To me, Su Jing's current foundation is too weak. "

Sighing, although it was very uncomfortable to hear, Xiao Yueye knew that Murong Liuyun was right.

"Now, what's the problem?"

"The problem lies with Su Jing himself." Murong Liuyun frowned: "Mo Zhiqi and others have no patience. Su Jing must choose a side to rely on now. They will not be stupid enough to train subordinates for their opponents. What's more, Su Jing is about to become the consort, which will play a big role in the fight for the throne between my two sons in the future. "

"I still don't understand. Even if they are impatient, with Su Jing's political achievements in Shuiyun Province, there is no way they can unseat him." Xiao Yueye raised his eyebrows.

"That's what I said, but the situation is different now. Su Jing is about to become the consort." Murong Liuyun said calmly.

"What is the problem?"

"The prince-in-law usually only holds a sinecure position."

Xiao Yueye laughed: "I have considered this before. This is just an unwritten rule. There is no such rule in ancestral rules and laws. They cannot use this as an excuse."

Murong Liuyun shook his head: "But you have overlooked one point. Now that Su Jing's life or death is uncertain, and he has to prepare for the wedding, he has no time to manage the affairs of Shuiyun Province."

The smile on Xiao Yueye's face suddenly disappeared and became a little gloomy. He habitually tapped the table with his index finger, his mind spinning rapidly.

He calculated everything, but forgot to calculate the time. Yes, Su Jing's "life or death is uncertain". Even if he survives, he still needs to calm down and nurse himself back to health. And he still had to prepare for the wedding, which would take at least two months.

However, as the governor of a province, is it possible for him to take a two-month break? Even if it were possible, who knows if others would be willing

Now, the facts are in front of him. Su Jing must choose a side and rely on one side, so that he can have the power to continue to be the governor of a province.

After sorting out the bad relationship, Xiao Yueye looked up at Murong Liuyun and said, "I'll go back and ask Su Jing and I'll give you an answer in two days."

Murong Liuyun nodded: "Okay. Also, when will your wedding be held?"

Xiao Yue was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, but a feeling of guilt grew in her heart. He actually forgot such an important thing. Originally, he went to find Yu Huai, partly for Yin Caiju's sake, and partly for his own marriage. Who would have thought that after returning to the capital, the love of Zhou Sui and Su Jing, who was in his heart, would occupy all of his attention.

If he forgets, will Yansha and others forget? But they didn't mention it because they didn't want to be distracted.

Hey, come to think of it, I really feel sorry for them!

Xiao Yueye shook her head and smiled bitterly: "I haven't thought about it yet. However, I shouldn't make a big deal about it."

When Murong Liuyun heard Xiao Yueye say that he didn't know how to do anything, he felt a knot in his heart and felt a little disappointed. For him, if he wanted to attend his son's wedding openly and honestly, unless Xiao Yueye held a grand banquet, he could attend as the emperor. But if Xiao Yueye only invited relatives and friends, what qualifications did she have to participate

Xiao Yueye did not see through Murong Liuyun's thoughts, or in other words, his thoughts were not in front of him at all. At this moment, Su Jing's choice and his marriage were all entangled together, giving him a headache.

If the identity of the prince could be revealed, it might be much easier. For the first time, Xiao Yueye hoped that she was an upright prince.

Back in the study, Xiao Yueye did not go to Su Jing directly, but thought about it over and over in his mind. How could he not understand Su Jing's temperament? How could Su Jing be willing to be attached to anyone? His target is the prime minister of a country!

But now, Su Jing has to choose! And his choice will not only have an impact on his life, but also have an impact on Xiao Yueye and Song Hu.

He walked into Su Jing's room with some heaviness. Murong Xiu was the only one inside, and the two were looking at each other lovingly. Xiao Yueye coughed lightly, and Murong Xiu immediately turned red like a frightened little rabbit when she saw Xiao Yueye.

Su Jing did not joke, but frowned and said, "Are you in trouble?"

He and Xiao Yueye had known each other since childhood and knew each other well. One look at Xiao Yueye's expression and he knew that something was going on, and it was something troublesome. Xiao Yueye didn't hide it from him, nodded, but glanced at Murong Xiu beside her.

"Xiu'er, please go out first." Su Jing said with a smile.

Murong Xiu was unwilling, but she obediently covered Su Jing with a quilt, walked out, and closed the door.

Xiao Yueye did not hide anything, she directly told him about her conversation with Murong Liuyun, then looked up at him and asked: "Who do you choose?" (Quanben Novel Network www.QuanBeN-XiaoShuo.com)
