Looking up, Du Weiniang explained: "This drug is contact-based and does not need to be taken."
Wen Qingzhu's expression was slightly condensed. This kind of drug was extremely rare.
But it’s not like I haven’t seen it before.
"Did Xia Feiyuan bring you this pastry?" Wen Qingzhu's expression became solemn.
Du Weiniang nodded and said while recalling: "In the early years, I also traveled to many places. Apart from the inhaled drugs, there were only inhaled drugs. Such contact drugs were only seen in books. , it seems to be found only in a certain tribe of the Xiongnu."
"Yes, it was a drug that originated in the northern Huns two or three hundred years ago. Because of the high cost of consumables, it is currently only available to the Hun royal family."
Wen Qingzhu finished the rest of Du Weiniang's words and understood in his heart.
It turns out that the people behind Xia Feiyuan's ability to dance for such a long time and remain resilient were the Huns.
"Then Xia Feiyuan is on his way to the northwest now?" Du Weiniang understood and was shocked.
How could the Huns intervene in the capital? And can he bribe Xia Feiyuan
Inside the room, Jiang Yuanan walked out and looked at Wen Qingzhu quietly.
Looking at his appearance, Wen Qingzhu only said: "Your Highness, Yi Jia died in your hands."
These words were like a sharp knife, piercing directly into Prince Ning's heart.
He took a breath, turned around and left without speaking.
Du Weiniang was about to catch up, but Wen Qingzhu held her back and warned, "For the emperor's sake, as long as he no longer goes to the fiefdom quietly, the prince will not embarrass him."
"I know, I will give my second brother some advice." Du Weiniang nodded, and then hurriedly chased after him.
Leaving Chengming Palace, the number of Imperial Guards visible to the naked eye increased.
When he arrived at the entrance of Qianyuan Palace, Wen Qingzhu met his eldest grandson Linlang who came out in a hurry.
Seeing her appear, the eldest grandson Linlang immediately slowed down and bowed: "I've met Madam."
Wen Qingzhu stepped across the threshold, nodded at her, and continued walking forward.
After just a few steps, Wen Qingzhu stopped suddenly, turned around and called to the eldest grandson Linlang who had just left the palace: "Stop!"
Changsun Linlang slowly turned her head and asked in a low voice: "Do you have any orders, madam?"
Wen Qingzhu narrowed his eyes: "Where are you going? Aren't you supposed to be taking care of the emperor at this time?"
"There is a small problem with the soup and medicine at the Imperial Hospital. I will go over and have a look." Changsun Linlang answered unhurriedly.
Wen Qingzhu thought for a moment and realized there was no problem, so he let her go.
Turning around and continuing to walk towards the dormitory, she whispered to Lu Tao: "Go find Jasmine and ask her to investigate the recent whereabouts of your eldest grandson Linlang."
"Yes." Lu Tao took the order and took advantage of the corner to go in another direction.
When they arrived at Jiang Yue's dormitory, they were all closely guarded.
Fuqin and Bai Haqi were standing at the door. It seemed that Luo Chan and Wei Guifei were both inside.
Wen Qingzhu left Xi'er outside and went in.
Turning to the inner room, what surprised Wen Qingzhu was that Mo Feizi was also here.
At this time, Concubine Wei was still wearing court clothes, with an eight-tailed phoenix hairpin on her head, standing side by side with Mo Feizi.
"Empress!"
Wen Qingzhu stepped forward, and Luo Chan immediately retreated and stayed outside the curtain.
Concubine Wei turned around with a tired look in her eyes: "You're here."
"Well, why are Mr. Mo here?" Wen Qingzhu looked at Mo Feizi. His expression was as usual, but there was joy hidden deep in his eyes.
When he looked at Jiang Yue, his eyes were staring at Mo Feizi, full of hatred.
Concubine Wei walked forward, sat beside the bed, reached out and pulled out the eight-tailed phoenix hairpin on her head, and placed it in Jiang Yue's hand.
"Your Majesty, for so many years, I have tried to forget the past and fall in love with you. But then it was such a pity that Sister Zhou died, and Sister Zheng also died unjustly, so I gave up and thought about waiting for Dejia to get married and find the right one. When I had the opportunity, I left the palace to take care of myself, but I didn’t expect that my senior brother would still be waiting for me.”
She spoke slowly, as if she was still reminiscing, and her voice was gentle but without too much regret.
"Originally, everything was planned, but the plan always failed to keep up with the changes. I could only plan silently. All I wanted was for Dejia to marry someone she liked. Now everything is finally fine. Dejia is married. Yuanhan My position has also been stabilized, so I decided to leave His Majesty."
Concubine Wei slowly stood up, took off her gorgeous court clothes, and placed them in front of her.
Turning around and holding Mo Feizi's hand, her eyes became gentle and touching.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
Mo Feizi shook his head: "It's okay, it's just your body. Do you really not want Master Xue Gu to take good care of you?"
The only thing he worried about was Wei Hui. He never cared about glory and wealth.
Suddenly, Jiang Yue coughed violently.
Wen Qingzhu looked over and found that his eyes were scarlet and his entire face was purple.
It seemed that Jiang Yue was a little angry.
Thinking of what happened in Chengming Palace, Wen Qingzhu asked Concubine Wei: "Have you told Your Majesty about Yi Jia?"
"Not yet." Concubine Wei turned around and explained, "I originally wanted to stay for a while, but I'm worried that my health will deteriorate and it won't be good if I can't leave by then."
Wen Qingzhu quickly walked up and grabbed Concubine Wei's wrist.
After checking it out, I was shocked: "Why did your body suddenly-"
Concubine Wei held her hand and said, "It's not sudden. I have been in poor health since that injury. The situation in the palace was complicated at that time. I didn't dare to show any signs of it, for fear that Concubine Li and Concubine Wan would take advantage of the loophole and be implicated." Dejia and Yuanhan are not doing well, now that things have been settled, I feel relieved."
"Does Dejia know?" Wen Qingzhu suddenly remembered something.
After Ning Xiu and Jiang Dejia got married, Jiang Yuanhan immediately transferred them out of the capital.
Although it is best to send one's own confidants there, it does not necessarily require Ning Xiu and his wife to go there.
Could it be—
Concubine Wei said at this moment: "It's what you think. I asked Yuan Han to transfer Dejia and the others away. It's not that it's bad for the consort to interfere in government affairs, but that I was afraid that Dejia would worry about me, so I kept it secret from her these days. Come, Dejia often writes back, she is doing well, I feel relieved."
"Then when do you plan to leave?"
"the day after tomorrow."
Wen Qingzhu was surprised again: "Why don't you wait until Dejia comes back to see you off?"
"No wait, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave then. I hid it from her from the beginning, so I might as well hide it until the end. Speaking of which, Dejia doesn't like senior brother very much. If I leave by myself, she can guess it, so I might as well just hide it from her until the end." Just leave."
Wen Qingzhu was silent for a long time before saying: "The situation has not yet completely stabilized. I can stay longer, and my grandpa is still here, so he can help you take care of your health."
"Qingzhu." Concubine Wei sighed and looked at her faintly, "Do you really not understand?"
Wen Qingzhu avoided her eyes and said nothing.
Seeing her like this, Concubine Wei had no choice but to spread the matter and said, "I left in such a hurry this time to make room for you. Without me sitting on top, you can just let go and do some things."
She looked at Luo Chan outside again: "Leave the phoenix seal to her temporarily. When Yuanhan gets married, the phoenix seal will be returned. I know she is yours."
The last excuse was blocked, and Wen Qingzhu could only nod.
Concubine Wei gave a few more instructions and left through the secret door with Mo Feizi.
As soon as they left, Luo Chan came in.
She knelt in front of Wen Qingzhu and thanked her sincerely: "Thank you madam for the advice. Valley Master Xue showed me and said there is still a way. I am currently taking medicine to treat it."
"As long as there is a way, get up." Wen Qingzhu turned to look at Jiang Yue, who had already closed his eyes.
Now Jiang Yue couldn't move his whole body and depended on rare medicinal materials to survive.
She sat on the chair next to the bed and saw that Jiang Yue's eyelids were still trembling slightly. It was obvious that he was not asleep yet.
Luo Chan behind him also retreated wisely.
Wen Qingzhu then said slowly: "Your Majesty, look at how you gained everything and lost everything. Do you really have no regrets at all?"
Suddenly, Jiang Yue opened his eyes and stared at her angrily.
After watching for a moment, Wen Qingzhu understood what he meant and laughed out loud: "No wonder Jiang Yuancheng endures the humiliation and bears the burden so much. It turns out that he has obtained His Majesty's true message and will not give up until he reaches the Yellow River. It's a pity that he will die in my hands eventually."
Jiang Yue's eyes kept moving up and down, and bloodshot eyes burst out, as if he could sit up in the next moment.
"Your Majesty is wrong. I am not determined to kill him. As long as he does not return to the capital and does not hinder Yuan Han, I will definitely let him go. But does your Majesty think he will give up?"
Wen Qingzhu asked back word for word, and Jiang Yue suddenly became quiet.
"Hey, I also know that Your Majesty is also a father, but to be honest, you are really not a good father, not even as good as my father."
Jiang Yue opened his eyes wide again, his sparse eyelashes trembling uncontrollably.
Seeing him like this, a hint of ridicule appeared on Wen Qingzhu's face: "Your Majesty, do you really want me to tell the truth?"
Jiang Yue moved his eyes up and down twice.
Wen Qingzhu sneered and began to count one by one: "Let's start with Jiang Yuansheng. He was originally the prince. Although his qualifications were average, but with the guidance of Empress Zheng, he did not make any big mistakes after all. But when Empress Zheng left, the harem was in chaos. Even if he gets up, Your Majesty doesn't care about it, just let him do whatever he wants, and now he has become a commoner. Isn't it His Majesty's fault?"
Jiang Yue showed dissatisfaction, but Wen Qingzhu pointed out the hidden dangers of Jiang Yuanan's heavy troops and the shortcomings of Jiang Yuancheng's win over courtiers, and allowed Jiang Yuanhan to grow stronger, and in the end he was not even able to save Jiang Yuanhuai's life.
At the end, Wen Qingzhu's tone completely cooled down: "Prince Jing was born after Empress Zheng fought to the death, but you treat him like this. Speaking of which, you just usurped the throne. You are just an ordinary person and have no ability.
I have learned from King Huan's iron-bloodedness, but I cannot learn from his decisiveness and agility. I have learned from Prince Mingde's kindness and obedience, but I cannot learn from his uprightness and righteousness. Even if you do what the former King Huan and Prince Mingde did, in the end you are just copying the gourd and not understanding the essence at all. "
Jiang became more and more excited, and even his face began to tremble.
But Wen Qingzhu ignored it and continued to think about himself: "I am the same as you, but different from you. I only want to protect the people around me in my whole life, but you are just for power, and are suspicious and selfish by nature." , I have killed so many loyal ministers, but is it possible to govern the country only by killing people?"
"No!" Wen Qingzhu stopped looking at Jiang Yue and became more and more excited, "If I guessed correctly, the reason why King Huan died was just because he believed in you wrongly. The reason why Prince Mingde died was by your own hands. Send that woman to him, and when the prince dies, kill the woman who caused trouble to the prince without even leaving any evidence."
She raised her eyes to look at Jiang Yue, his eyes were filled with fear.
Wen Qingzhu twitched his lips: "You think no one can know, but when something is done, evidence can be left. Smart people can deduce the truth from clues. Otherwise, why would Teacher Ji Shang refuse to surrender? Mr. Cui would rather study The Mechanics are not willing to retaliate, they just hate you, a king who talks about benevolence and morality, but is actually ruthless!"
Jiang Yue's fear gradually deepened, and finally he couldn't control it anymore and fainted.
