Dujie Patriarch is cannon fodder
Chapter 38 The Princess Is Up 12
After reprimanding Rong Qi and Xiao Changqing, Rong Yi's mood improved a lot.Therefore, he tirelessly reasoned with Rong Qibai, directly blackmailing the queen beyond recognition.In his eyes, the queen is a ruthless and cruel woman, her words and deeds are all tricks and conspiracies, and there is nothing worthy of recognition.
When Rong Yi had finished speaking, Rong Qi said unhurriedly: "Brother, I remember that the empress also prepared a birthday gift for you before, and you are not afraid of hurting her heart by smearing her so much. Is it?"
Rong Yi snorted and said with a smile: "This prince is not lucky enough to enjoy the generous gifts from the queen, lest he will not know when he will be poisoned to death by her. Just remember, after the guests leave, someone will take the gift from the queen carefully." Check it out and see if there is any conspiracy."
The corners of Rong Qi's mouth twitched slightly. According to the Queen's scheming, she would never use an overly obvious plot to plot against him.For example, the previous dyed red stone, the medicine used on the red stone alone will not cause any damage to the human body, and it will also have the effect of regulating blood gas when accompanied by the body for a long time.But once this medicine is mixed with its counteracting medicine, it will release highly poisonous.A highly poisonous poison that can permeate the blood vessels and corrode the internal organs of the human body.The horror of this poison is not that there is no cure, but that when the drug properties of the poisoned person are discovered, it has already penetrated into the bone marrow, and there is no cure for it. At the same time, the poison dissipates in the air, leaving no trace.
Rong Yi saw that Rong Qi seemed to be thinking about something, with an absent-minded look, he was helpless and annoyed at the same time, he really wanted to talk to Rong Qi about the filth in the harem, so that she would not be so careless all the time Without lungs, he treats everyone he sees as a good person.Without thinking about it carefully, the harem has always been intriguing and intriguing. Is that a place where good people can live?
The worry in Rong Yi's heart was directly expressed on his face, seeing his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, his lip line tighter and tighter, and the veins on his forehead were about to break free from the shackles of flesh and blood, Xiao Changqing finally couldn't help but say: "Grand... …Princesses are not unprepared."
Rong Yi gritted his teeth, and he blurted out: "In the past two years, the empress almost gave Changxi the blood seal."
Hearing this, Xiao Changqing and Rong Qi were startled.
Xiao Changqing didn't expect that the empress would be so bold that she would poison his favorite eldest princess under the eyes of the emperor. At the same time, he couldn't help feeling afraid, worried about Rong Qi's physical condition.
Rong Qi found it strange that in the memory of the original owner, he had used many things from the empress, but none of them were serious.He also inspected the body left behind by the original owner. Except for the residues of the medicine that the concubine Chen Huanggui asked him to take, the others were the residues of some common edible medicines, and there was no sign of poisoning.
Judging from Rong Yi's attitude towards the queen, there was only one reason why the original owner could remain healthy, and that was Rong Yi's way of exchanging the things the queen sent.And the poison that can be easily discovered by Rong Yi, a half-assed person, is probably nothing more than a trivial matter.In other words, it was a wake-up call for him.
After the birthday banquet was over, Rong Qi and Rong Yi saw off Emperor Wen of Zhou and the others and went directly to the storeroom of the princess mansion. Under the guidance of the steward in charge of the storeroom, they found the gift from the empress within a short time.
Rong Yi knew a little bit about the art of distorting yellow, but he was helpless against the unobvious medicine trap sent by the queen. He waited and watched for a long time, and then pointed at a bright golden light with his chin and said: "Anyway, the princess mansion is also If you don’t lack these things, you might as well send them away.”
After the exhausting calculations of the last reincarnation, Rong Qi now just wants to enjoy life with little ups and downs, but the so-called courtesy is not coming, it is inappropriate, and coming and not going is also inappropriate.Since the queen has a big gift to send, he has to return a gift or two.
Rong Qi picked out an unremarkable blood-colored gemstone among the many gifts, and said, "Brother, please help me deal with the rest."
Rong Yi nodded quickly, asked someone to move all the things out, and repeatedly told Rong Qi that as long as the things were sent by the queen, they had to be checked thoroughly before they could be used.
After Rong Yi and Xiao Changqing left, the Princess Mansion was completely quiet, and it was already dead of night.Rong Qi stood in front of the window sill in a snow-colored jacket, looking up at the night that seemed to be blurred by thick ink. There were a few or two stars dotted in the night, which were not very conspicuous, but added a bit of brilliance to the overly quiet night .The lamps in the Princess Mansion were on all night, and the dim lights inside and outside reflected Rong Qi's gentle face on and off, adding a bit of gloom to him.
Rong Qi slowly caressed the red gemstone he got before, and the gemstone under the light became more and more radiant and dazzling. He looked down at the gemstone, and then casually put it on the window sill, ignoring it.
The next day, Rong Qi got up as usual when the sun was high, and after having a late breakfast, he called the hidden guards that Emperor Zhou Wen had given to the original owner, and ordered them to do some things.
Two days later, Rong Qi personally brought people into the palace to give gifts to the queen. There were a total of nine large wooden boxes, all of which were tightly sealed, so that people could not see what was inside.
Dongshuang sat anxiously opposite Rong Qi, observing Rong Qi's expression carefully, she didn't know what the princess wanted to do with some boxes of poison into the palace, what would she do if she was misunderstood that the princess wanted to assassinate the empress?
Dong Shuang was sweating profusely, looking at Rong Qi again, he was flipping through the yellowed books with a calm face, and from time to time he even raised the corners of his lips to show that he was in a good mood.
When they arrived at the imperial palace, Rong Qi asked someone to send several large wooden boxes to the central palace where the empress was. All the eunuchs in the central palace knew Rong Qi, and saw that he was here to give gifts as usual, without blocking or checking, they were respectful and polite He led Rong Qi and others to meet the queen.
When Rong Qi saw the empress, the empress was discussing Mid-Autumn Festival with several concubines. The empress was sitting on the main seat, holding a beautiful porcelain cup in her hand. She listened to the suggestions of the next concubines with a smile on her face, One or two just-right pointers, which successfully attracted the praise and shame of the concubines.
Rong Qi is the most beloved eldest princess of Emperor Wen of Zhou, and there is no one else in the palace who can surpass him in status except the emperor.For the queen and the prince, Rong Qi only needs to maintain a superficial respect.As for concubines of average status, they are not qualified enough to be respected by Rong Qi.
After meeting with the queen, Rong Qi explained the purpose of this trip.
The empress laughed and blamed: "There is nothing in this palace, why do you need to send it all the way in, could it be that Changxi is still worried that your father will treat your mother badly?"
Rong Qi took the wooden box containing the red gem from Dongshuang, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, this is the first gift from Chang Xi, please accept it with a smile."
The queen nodded to Gong'e, who was waiting by her side, and Gong'e immediately stepped forward, took the wooden box from Rong Qi's hand, walked up to the queen, and carefully opened the wooden box.
The red gemstones in the wooden box were exquisite and dazzling, but the queen frowned and changed her expression the moment she saw the gemstones.
Those who can serve in front of the queen are those who can read words and demeanor. Seeing that the queen looked unhappy, Gong'e immediately put away the wooden box and stood back to her original position with her arms in her arms.
The purpose of Rong Qi's trip has been half achieved, and after a few words of hypocritical politeness with the empress, he got up to leave, but the empress did not keep him, and sent him out of the middle palace.
After Rong Qi left, the Empress didn't have the heart to discuss matters anymore, she said a few words absent-mindedly, and then sent everyone away.
When there were no outsiders in the huge hall, the queen finally showed a gloomy and cold expression. Her whole body exuded a gloomy and majestic aura, which made the already dignified atmosphere in the hall even more depressing, making people almost breathless.
After a long time, the queen slowly said, "Bring in the things Chang Xi sent."
The eunuchs in Gong'e guessed that the things Rong Qi sent might not be very good, but they never expected that Rong Qi would be so bold as to send poisonous things into the palace, colorful poisonous snakes, poisonous spiders crawling around , scorpions with teeth and claws, densely packed ants...
For a while, the screams and vomiting in the hall were endless.
The queen hid in the corner with a pale face, and the two maids in thin clothes tremblingly protected the queen behind them. They stared at the poison that was getting closer to them with earthy faces, and couldn't help screaming.
The turmoil in the middle palace did not last long. After the poison was released, Habayashi guards immediately started to clean it up. However, the type and quantity of the poison were not sure, and the middle palace would be unoccupied for a while.
The reason why Rong Qi sent poison to the central palace was just to warn the queen that he had no intention of harming anyone.Therefore, the poisons sent to the middle palace are processed, and the people who are touched by the poisons may be slightly injured or frightened, but they will not die.
Dongshuang followed Rong Qi step by step, covering her ears with her hands, as if trying to block out the shrill shouts from the middle palace.But she couldn't help but think about the current situation in the middle palace, with so many people and so many poisons, whether the current middle palace is already full of corpses.And the empress, if she died too, what method should the princess use to get out?Your majesty loves the princess, but the power behind the empress is not small, just in case... Dong Shuang's worried brows are almost knotted.
At this moment, a thin woman in court dress ran over from a distance, she didn't salute Rong Qi, she just bumped into Rong Qi and ran away again covering her face.
Rong Qi's eyes froze slightly, and he reached out his hand to the place where Gong'e bumped into him before, and found a small crumpled paper ball from it.Rong Qi raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked in the direction where Gong'e was escaping in surprise. After a while, he spread out the paper ball and carefully looked at the contents on it.
There are only a few handwritings on the paper ball, but what it carries is an earth-shattering secret.
Rong Qi's eyelids drooped slightly, his mind was racing with thoughts, he was filtering out those who might know the secret.There are many people in the palace, but there are only a few people who are qualified to know the queen's biggest secret. Among these people, there is only one person who can risk his life to reveal it to him.
That... the nanny in charge who disobeyed the queen in front of the queen.
After leaving the central palace, Rong Qi led Dongshuang to the Qianling Palace. Even though it was the time for Emperor Wen of Zhou to deal with state affairs, the news from the central palace might have already reached his ears.No matter what Emperor Zhou Wen thought about the poison entering the palace, Rong Qi had to go and plead guilty to Emperor Zhou Wen himself.
When they arrived at the Qianling Palace, Rong Qi explained his intention to the eunuch Hou Men, and the eunuch quickly entered the Qianling Palace to report, not long after, the eunuch came out of the palace, and said with a smile: "Princess, Your Majesty welcomes you."
Rong Qi nodded and said: "I'm sorry to bother you, Eunuch. There is one more thing, I would like to ask Eunuch for a little favor. Dongshuang, my maidservant, has been traveling here and there with me for a long time. During this period, I didn't even drink saliva. Please Eunuch send someone to take her down and let her rest for a while. I have seen Father Emperor, so I will personally pick her up."
The eunuch Houmen said: "Princess, don't worry, Miss Dongshuang will be safe and wait until the princess goes to meet you."
Dongshuang immediately understood Rong Qi's plan, she shook her head with red eyes and said: "Princess, this servant will go with you to meet His Majesty, this servant is not tired, not thirsty, and I don't even want to leave the princess."
Hou Men's eunuch said: "Miss Dongshuang, Your Majesty loves the princess and misses her all the time. Miss, please don't disturb the princess and His Majesty's reunion."
After Dong Shuang was taken away by the eunuch Hou Men, Rong Qi let out a sigh of relief, turned around and entered the Qianling Hall.The huge Qianling Palace was exceptionally quiet, as if all sounds had been silenced. There was no one else in the palace except Zhou Wendi who was buried in government affairs and the eunuch Sanle who bowed his head to study ink.Seeing Rong Qi approaching slowly, the eunuch San Le kept moving his hands, but his eyes did not stop, and gave Rong Qi a series of winks.
The corners of Rong Qi's lips were slightly pursed, but he still decided to follow the eunuch Sanle's instructions. He quietly went to the tea room next door and made a cup of fragrant hot tea for Emperor Zhou Wen himself.
Rong Qi breathed out a bit of turbid air, walked slowly to Emperor Wen of Zhou, held the tea in both hands, and said respectfully: "Father, you have worked hard, drink some tea to rest your breath."
Emperor Wen of Zhou glanced at Rong Qi indifferently, changed the memorial in his hand, and continued to give instructions, ignoring Rong Qi.
The eunuch San Le wanted to persuade Zhou Wendi a few words, but seeing that His Majesty, who usually protects the princess like an eyeball, deliberately ignored the princess, he knew that His Majesty wanted to teach the princess a little lesson.Knowing this, Eunuch San Le stopped trying to persuade him.Among other things, the princess' actions today are really too big. If the queen really cares about it, the princess will have to suffer a lot.
After half an hour, the tea in Rong Qi's hand was completely cold, and the memorial on Zhou Wendi's desk was almost finished, so he put down the pen in his hand, stared at Rong Qi silently for a while, and said slowly: " After all, I will give you a chance to explain."
Rong Qi lowered his eyelids, and said in a low voice: "Recently, when the government put the congratulatory gifts into storage, it was discovered that the birthday presents given by the Empress Empress to my ministers were contaminated with toxins."
Emperor Zhou Wen's eyes turned cold in an instant, and his elegant and refined face showed a bit of obscurity. Just when he was about to ask some more questions, the eunuch of the Hou family came to report, saying that it was the empress who asked to see him.
Emperor Wen of Zhou tightened his hands slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Xuan."
When eunuch Hou Men went to see Empress Xuan, eunuch San Le led Rong Qi into the side hall.Eunuch San Le settled Rong Qi, and then turned around to serve Emperor Zhou Wen in the Qianling Hall. Rong Qi could only vaguely hear some sharp words in the side hall, which were the quarrel between Emperor Zhou Wen and the empress.
After the queen left, Rong Qi made another cup of tea and brought it out.
Emperor Zhou Wen sat behind the desk with a tired expression, while the eunuch Sanle massaged his temples with a worried face. When he saw Rong Qi, Emperor Zhou Wen waved slightly towards San Le, and the eunuch San Le immediately stopped his movements, He took the whisk again and stood quietly behind Zhou Wendi.
Rong Qi handed the tea to Emperor Zhou Wen and said, "Father, drink some water."
Emperor Wen of Zhou subsided all his exhaustion in an instant. He took the warm tea from Rong Qi's hand with a smile, took two sips, and said, "Qi'er's tea making skills have improved a lot, very good."
Emperor Wen of Zhou drank the tea, and said again: "Qi'er, it was not the queen who was poisoned in the queen's gift, you are wrong to blame her. But the father has already made an agreement with the queen, since you are still young, this matter I won’t make any fuss about it. However, please remember that this is not an example.”
Rong Qi Qingjun's face was apologetic, and he said: "I acted impulsively, I will go and apologize to the Empress, and ask her to punish me."
Emperor Wen of Zhou frowned, and said in a hoarse voice: "The empress has already said that she doesn't care about this matter, so there is no need to apologize. I still have some things to do. If you miss your mother and concubine, go visit her and go back home. "
Rong Qi naturally answered 'yes' softly.
After leaving Qianling Hall, Rong Qi went to pick up Dongshuang, and took her to Huaqing Hall.The noble concubine Chenhuang had already been waiting in the Huaqing Palace, as soon as Rong Qi arrived, she immediately sent the eunuch Gong'e away and took him into the inner hall.
"Rong Qi, are you crazy? Do you know what your actions today mean?" The Imperial Concubine Chen roared tearfully, "Do you not want to live anymore? You are so brave enough to send poison into the middle palace, empress You can use this to sue you for plotting to rebel, and no matter how much your father loves you, he will not be able to save you."
Rong Qi looked at the woman in front of him, she seemed to be made of water, she always had endless tears.In the memory of the original owner, the imperial concubine's eyes were always red and swollen, she cried when she was happy, she cried when she was unhappy, she cried when encountering big things, and also cried when encountering trivial things.She was born in a scholarly family, and she was surrounded by an elegant book fragrance, but she did not inherit the strong and brave women of the scholarly family.
Rong Qi thought, the most daring thing she did in her life was to conceal the gender of the original owner, and keep her by her side and teach her for more than ten years.According to her temperament, in the past ten years or so, she probably didn't have a day of peace.
Afraid of being betrayed, afraid of being found out about Rong Qi's gender, afraid of the death of the mother and son, and afraid of involving others.
Rong Qi sighed inexplicably, and he explained: "Mother, the queen's gift to the son was poisoned, and what the son did today was just to remind the queen to be careful of the people around her. You have to be counted."
When Imperial Concubine Chen heard that the congratulatory gift was poisoned, her face turned pale with fright, and she hurriedly asked, "What's the matter with you?"
Rong Qi briefly explained the process of discovering the poisonous gift. The concubine Chenhuang didn't experience it personally, so she believed it easily.After learning that the poison gift had been disposed of, she was still worried, and told Rong Qi to check again and again.After all, she is a woman who has survived in the palace for more than twenty years. The concubine Chenhuang is no less scheming than other concubines, but she has a fatal weakness, and she is bound to be restrained in her actions.
Rong Qi did not stay in Huaqing Palace for dinner at the request of Imperial Concubine Chen, he and Imperial Concubine Chen got on the carriage after a few words, and left the palace without hindrance.
It wasn't until the noisy sounds on the street kept irritating her ears that Dongshuang believed that she and the princess had really left the palace completely, and she couldn't help but lifted the curtain of the car and looked outside , there are restaurants and teahouses lined up on both sides of the street, and the eaves are sparkling and uneven.Both sides of the street are crowded with pedestrians, they are talking and laughing, or walking in a hurry.
Dongshuang carefully put down the car curtain, she raised her eyes to look at Rong Qi, but saw that he had closed his eyes and fell asleep at some point, his flowing face was extraordinarily soft and delicate.
The carriage moved forward unhurriedly, and it didn't take long before it arrived outside the princess mansion. Rong Qi was woken up by a sharp and mournful cry. His eyes opened for a moment, so indifferent that he had no emotion at all.
As the speed of the carriage slowed down, the piercing screams became more and more clear, Rong Qi frowned slightly, and asked: "Who is crying here?"
Dongshuang's face turned pale, and she hurriedly replied, "It's Mrs. Ye."
Rong Qi thought for a long time before he dug out the old Mrs. Ye from Dongshuang's mouth from his memory.The so-called Mrs. Ye is Ye Chenghao's mother Ye Zhushi, a domineering and ignorant country woman.It's also ridiculous to say that this Ye Zhu family relied on the original owner's liking for Ye Chenghao, and was quite tolerant towards her. He put on the airs of an old lady and asked the original owner to serve her in-laws and husbands like a country wife.Not only did the original owner hand over the power of the princess mansion, but also let the original owner decide to take a concubine for Ye Chenghao.The original owner was rich and precious, so he refused to accept it, so Ye Zhu cried and made trouble and hanged himself three times, making the princess's mansion turn into a miasma. In the end, Emperor Wen of Zhou couldn't stand it anymore and kicked people out.
When the carriage stopped, the distance between Ye Zhushi and the carriage was less than two feet. When she saw the guards pointing at her with cold swords, she shrank her neck in fear, but immediately shouted: "I am the princess' mother-in-law. If any of you dare to hurt me, I will let the princess kill you."
Rong Qi got off the carriage with a blank expression, passed Ye Zhushi without looking sideways, and walked towards the princess mansion.
When Ye Zhu saw Rong Qi, she hurriedly said loudly: "Changxi, you vicious and unfilial woman, I am your mother-in-law, I want you now..."
Ye Zhushi's half-spoken words stopped abruptly, her cheeks were pale, and she didn't dare to meet Rong Qi who suddenly looked at her.Ye Zhushi has never read a book, and she doesn't know how to describe the pair of lifeless eyes she saw just now.All she knew was that she was covered in cold sweat just now.She also believed that if she continued talking, she might really die.
Rong Qi turned around, walked slowly towards Ye Zhushi, and stopped three steps away from her: "Mrs. Ye is looking for Ben Gong, why?"
Rong Qi got closer, and Ye Zhushi really knew what terror is. Seeing Rong Qi's gentle and gentle face, she didn't feel relaxed. Her legs trembled uncontrollably, and she couldn't help but want to kneel on the ground.She wanted to put on the posture of being a mother-in-law as before, and let Rong Qi be filial to her, but in the end, she couldn't speak when she was about to speak.
Seeing Ye Zhushi's cloudy eyes filled with panic, Rong Qi curled up his lips in satisfaction.
Ye Zhushi is one of the most shrews in the village, and she is also known as a bully. The original owner respects her, and she relies on this to do whatever she wants in the princess mansion, and even wants to bury the eldest princess.However, after leaving the gate of the Princess's mansion, Ye Zhushi is just a country woman who can't stand on the stage. She behaves timidly, and she doesn't even dare to confront people in silk and satin.
In Rong Qi's view, Ye Zhu's family is a typical Wo Liheng.
Ye Zhushi was so frightened by Rong Qi that she couldn't raise her aura anymore. With a pale face, she looked at the long sword that was getting closer and closer to her in a panic, and cried: "Princess, Da Zhuang is in a very bad situation now. , for the sake of husband and wife, please help him."
Rong Qi took a long sword from the guard's hand, he held it in his hand for a while, and suddenly pointed the long sword at Ye Zhushi, Ye Zhushi was unsteady on his legs, and rushed forward, the sharp blade came from her cheek A few strands of gray hair were scratched, and a faint bloodstain was left on her face.Ye Zhushi slumped on the ground, exchanging breaths rapidly, staring at Rong Qi in panic.
Rong Qi took two steps forward, threw the long sword with a few inconspicuous traces of blood beside Ye Zhu, and said coldly: "I have already said that it is all right for me to summon the imperial physician to treat Ye Chenghao. The premise is that I want to hear the news of Xie Jingshu's death."
Ye Zhushi turned her head stiffly, and looked at the long sword that was thrown on the ground by Rong Qi and was less than two feet away from her. The cold light and slight blood on the long sword seemed to be a warning to her. I felt a tightness in my lower abdomen, and something was out of control.
Rong Qi's eyes narrowed slightly, he glanced at Ye Zhushi lightly, and brought Dongshuang into the princess mansion.
Ye Zhu's squabbling did not cause any disturbance to Rong Qi, but Rong Yi and Xiao Changqing, as if they were afraid that he would soften their hearts towards Ye Chenghao's family, always thought of ways to look at him.
In the evening of this day, just as Rong Qi sent Rong Yi and Xiao Changqing away, an unexpected visitor broke into the Princess Mansion.Rong Qi looked at the evildoer in red who was leisurely approaching him as if taking a walk, his expression was unclear.
I saw that the man was extremely handsome, and the outline of the facial features like engravings was elegant and picturesque.A pair of Danfeng eyes that seem to be smiling but not smiling are always full of unruly and unruly.He wore a blood-colored robe with black-patterned cloud sleeves, and he was graceful and elegant.Compared with Rong Qi's gentleness and gentleness, this man's whole body is full of contempt and contempt.
In Rong Qi's impression, there is only one person who can wear the red robe so magnificently.
"Lu Heng." Rong Qi said calmly, with a firm tone.
Lu Heng folded his arms around his chest, with a teasing arc on his lips, leaning against a tree, and said with a smile: "It's been known for a long time that Princess Changxi is infatuated with Ye Chenghao, her son-in-law. The news that the princess and the son-in-law have reconciled, my son was curious, and I came to find out. I didn't expect the princess to be so inconsistent. She just separated from the son-in-law, and now she is accompanied by the general of the God of War. It really makes people sigh .”
Rong Qi sat silently at the stone table, tea was still warm on the stone table in front of him, Rong Qi personally poured two cups of hot tea and put them in two places respectively, then turned to Lu Heng who was leaning on the tree trunk Said: "Come and sit."
Lu Heng stared at Rong Qi vigilantly, hesitated for a while, and then set off to walk to the position opposite Rong Qi.After sitting down, Lu Heng did not dare to drink the tea made by Rong Qi, because Rong Qi always used to add some supplements to the tea when making tea, and the effect of the supplements depends entirely on his mood.Lu Heng didn't think that, according to Rong Qi's penny-pinching temperament, he would be able to ignore him a lot after being ridiculed by him. The memory of the painful experience told him all the time that Rong Qi was far worse than he acted. Like the scenery Jiyue.
When old friends met, Lu Heng wanted to say a lot to Rong Qi, but after hesitating for a while, he didn't know where to start.
It was dusk, and the Princess Mansion had already lit the lamps. Rong Qi sipped his tea, and looked up at Lu Heng. Lu Heng's eyes were flickering, and the expression on his face was complicated.
After a long time, Lu Heng sighed, "I thought you were dead."
Rong Qi gently placed the teacup he was holding on the stone table, his eyelids drooped slightly, and he looked at the hands placed beside the teacup. These hands were beautiful and slender, with well-defined joints, but were so white that they were almost transparent, not like the hands of living people.
Rong Qi moved his fingers a little funny, this is not the hand of a living person!
He is just a borrower of this body, and the outsider who borrows this body to recuperate his soul is already a walking dead, so how can there be the breath of a living person?
Rong Qi picked up the teacup again, stroked it with his fingertips and said: "At that time, the mysterious thunder hit the top, and my body was annihilated. I also thought that I would be destroyed in this way. It's hard to recuperate, so I went to reincarnation in the small world." Then, he asked a little strangely: "Why did you come to the small world?"
Lu Heng stared at Rong Qi for a long time before saying in astonishment: "The birth of the Huansheng Pill is unacceptable, and you really made it!" A bit of luck, Rong Qi's luck has never been bad.
In the original world, although Rong Qi's talent for refining medicine is unique, there are also alchemists who are higher than him. However, no one except Rong Qi has successfully refined the legendary Huansheng Pill.Lu Heng stared at Rong Qi curiously. Could it be that that person had such a profound influence on him that the alchemy that made him sleepless, forgetting to eat, and practice was only to revive him?
As for why he went to the small world, Lu Heng said in disbelief: "The disobedient kitten at home ran away, why don't you catch it back?"
Rong Qi knew about the disobedient kitten in Lu Heng's words. His real name was Xiao Mu, and he was Lu Heng's fellow apprentice.Lu Heng's master mainly focuses on refining weapons, but Xiao Mu likes to play with medicinal materials. When he was still young, he really liked to learn how to refine medicine from Rong Qi, but after a great battle between righteousness and evil, Xiao Mu never went to Rong Qi again. I gathered around.
Rong Qi himself was also seriously injured in that battle, and most of his memories of past events are blurred.
The past is over in a few words.
Lu Heng saw that it was getting late, and the things that should be confirmed had been confirmed, so he talked about the business: "I have two things to do when I come to the princess mansion today. First, to determine whether the eldest princess Changxi has been taken away, Now it has been confirmed. The second is to inform the princess who has been robbed that a reward has been officially offered in Jianghu, and the head of Princess Changxi is 10 taels of gold. At present, several sects have taken over the task and are ready to move."
Rong Qi's eyelids drooped slightly, and he tapped on the table casually, as if he didn't care about the news brought by Lu Heng, but also seemed to know everything in his chest.
For Lu Heng, who can use force to solve the problem but never use his brain, Rong Qi's appearance of strategizing is the most annoying to him. He couldn't help but interrupt Rong Qi and said, "How about it? Are you encountering a problem? , do you want me to help you deal with it?"
Rong Qi said: "No, those people are nothing to worry about, I have my own solution. If you are in a hurry, you can do another thing for me."
Lu Heng's eyelids twitched in displeasure, what does it mean to be idle?
He is also a big shot in the Jianghu now, okay?
There are countless things waiting for him to deal with every day, okay?
Where did he look so restless?
Rong Qi understood Lu Heng's personality and didn't care about it. He just told the plan he had just completed and repaired. Rong Qi's voice was deep and steady, and the plan was meticulously planned. Hearing that, Lu Heng felt chills down his spine.If he guessed correctly, this plan should have been conceived by Rong Qi after listening to his words, because he himself also occupied a part of it.
Lu Heng didn't stay in the Princess Mansion for too long. Before leaving, he asked Rong Qi how he could tell that he was Lu Heng. After all, his current description is far from the original world, so it should be difficult to identify.
Asked about this, Rong Qi only smiled lightly and said: "There are many people who wear red robes, but only a few who can embody its elegance."
After Lu Heng left, Rong Qi didn't get up to leave either. He played with the dried teacup, thinking about the feasibility of the plan.Rong Qi was very relieved of Lu Heng. Although that person was lazy and unruly, he acted like the wind and fire, pursuing perfection.
When the lights were bright and the shadows of the trees were dancing, Rong Qi got up and walked into the house. At that time, Dong Shuang had been staring at Rong Qi for a long time. When she saw Rong Qi, Dong Shuang rushed to greet her anxiously: "Princess, can you please?" It is considered to be back, and the servant immediately asked someone to set up a banquet."
Rong Qi nodded, and asked again: "The Mid-Autumn Festival will be in three days, is the gift ready?"
Dongshuang said: "The congratulatory gift has been prepared, as in previous years, the gift list will be presented to you later."
The maids in charge of the Princess Mansion are all carefully selected, they are prudent and shrewd, not only the original owner can rest assured, Rong Qi is impeccable after taking over.
In addition, Dongshuang also took out two postcards from her sleeves, one from Guihe Princess Mansion and one from the first, both of which invited Rong Qi to enter the palace with them on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Rong Qi didn't understand what he meant, but it didn't prevent him from directly refusing, he said calmly: "I've rejected them all, I have already made an appointment with my elder brother, and we will enter the palace together at that time."
Dongshuang hurriedly retracted the post with a happy smile. These days, the Princess Mansion received a lot of posts, and she declined all the posts she could refuse. Now these two are out of her control, so she has to let the princess decide.Dongshuang was clear about the plans of the two governments. She didn't want to see the princess meeting the wolf after leaving the jackal.
There are a lot of hands in the Mid-Autumn Festival, in order not to be pushed into the trap by the extra hands, Rong Qi has made full preparations before entering the palace, ready to let people steal chickens and lose nothing.
On the day of Mid-Autumn Festival, the time for Rong Qi and Rong Yi to enter the palace was neither too early nor too late, and when they visited Emperor Zhou Wen and the imperial concubine, it was almost time for the dinner to start.
As Emperor Zhou Wen's most beloved eldest princess, Rong Qi's position is just below Emperor Zhou Wen's, and he can be expected.The queen sat dignifiedly and gracefully beside Emperor Wen of Zhou, and together with Emperor Wen of Zhou accepted the kneeling worship of all officials and their families.
When all the officials returned to their thrones, the empress waved to Rong Qi with a gentle expression: "Changxi, come quickly and sit with the empress."
The imperial concubine Chenhuang's complexion turned pale in an instant, she shook her head with red eyes, and asked Zhou Wendi for help with her eyes.
Emperor Zhou Wen's demeanor was not good-looking either. He glanced at the queen coldly and said, "Changxi is a junior, and it is against the rules to sit with us."
Zhou Wendi's words made the queen's eyes flicker with sarcasm.
Rules, does Rong Qi still have rules?
The unhappiness between the emperor and empress has become clear.
In the imperial palace, hundreds of banquets are held every year, and it is inevitable that they will be clichéd every time.During the banquet, there were silk and bamboo around the ears, there were singing and dancing, and there were also hundreds of officials drinking and laughing.However, all the excitement is just superficial pleasantries.Palace banquets are rare for ordinary family members, but they are not uncommon for the people at the banquet, and it is hard to be very interested.
After the perfunctory greetings, what remains is the boredom and chatter of the banquet.
Rong Qi swept around the hall, and most of the people in the hall were talking and laughing at Yan Yan, but the smiles on their faces were a bit hypocritical, and the words between you and me were vague.
Rong Qi's eyes slowly swept across Xiao Changqing and Rong Yi, Xiao Changqing was keenly aware of his gaze, his brows furrowed slightly impatiently, and he showed a light smile to Rong Qi.Rong Yi held his wine glass with great interest, and looked at the graceful steps and dances of the dancers in the palace. He sometimes nodded in approval, sometimes frowned in displeasure, and his facial expressions were wonderful and changeable.
Rong Qi is not very interested in singing and dancing, and has no obsession with drinks and food. Since the location is too conspicuous, it is difficult to leave the banquet early, so he has to wait for the banquet to end like most people.
The incident happened near the end of the banquet, and it was already close to midnight. Both the officials and the guards were extremely tired.The dancing girl in the palace dances in a whirling posture, her skirts are floating, and her frowns and smiles are soft and charming.The bright lights in the hall perfectly reflect the dancer's incomparably agile posture and dynamics.Just when everyone was intoxicated, the purple-clothed dancer in the lead had a frown, and pulled out a soft sword as thin as a cicada's wing from the belt around her waist while dancing.The dancer took advantage of everyone's stunned
When Rong Yi had finished speaking, Rong Qi said unhurriedly: "Brother, I remember that the empress also prepared a birthday gift for you before, and you are not afraid of hurting her heart by smearing her so much. Is it?"
Rong Yi snorted and said with a smile: "This prince is not lucky enough to enjoy the generous gifts from the queen, lest he will not know when he will be poisoned to death by her. Just remember, after the guests leave, someone will take the gift from the queen carefully." Check it out and see if there is any conspiracy."
The corners of Rong Qi's mouth twitched slightly. According to the Queen's scheming, she would never use an overly obvious plot to plot against him.For example, the previous dyed red stone, the medicine used on the red stone alone will not cause any damage to the human body, and it will also have the effect of regulating blood gas when accompanied by the body for a long time.But once this medicine is mixed with its counteracting medicine, it will release highly poisonous.A highly poisonous poison that can permeate the blood vessels and corrode the internal organs of the human body.The horror of this poison is not that there is no cure, but that when the drug properties of the poisoned person are discovered, it has already penetrated into the bone marrow, and there is no cure for it. At the same time, the poison dissipates in the air, leaving no trace.
Rong Yi saw that Rong Qi seemed to be thinking about something, with an absent-minded look, he was helpless and annoyed at the same time, he really wanted to talk to Rong Qi about the filth in the harem, so that she would not be so careless all the time Without lungs, he treats everyone he sees as a good person.Without thinking about it carefully, the harem has always been intriguing and intriguing. Is that a place where good people can live?
The worry in Rong Yi's heart was directly expressed on his face, seeing his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, his lip line tighter and tighter, and the veins on his forehead were about to break free from the shackles of flesh and blood, Xiao Changqing finally couldn't help but say: "Grand... …Princesses are not unprepared."
Rong Yi gritted his teeth, and he blurted out: "In the past two years, the empress almost gave Changxi the blood seal."
Hearing this, Xiao Changqing and Rong Qi were startled.
Xiao Changqing didn't expect that the empress would be so bold that she would poison his favorite eldest princess under the eyes of the emperor. At the same time, he couldn't help feeling afraid, worried about Rong Qi's physical condition.
Rong Qi found it strange that in the memory of the original owner, he had used many things from the empress, but none of them were serious.He also inspected the body left behind by the original owner. Except for the residues of the medicine that the concubine Chen Huanggui asked him to take, the others were the residues of some common edible medicines, and there was no sign of poisoning.
Judging from Rong Yi's attitude towards the queen, there was only one reason why the original owner could remain healthy, and that was Rong Yi's way of exchanging the things the queen sent.And the poison that can be easily discovered by Rong Yi, a half-assed person, is probably nothing more than a trivial matter.In other words, it was a wake-up call for him.
After the birthday banquet was over, Rong Qi and Rong Yi saw off Emperor Wen of Zhou and the others and went directly to the storeroom of the princess mansion. Under the guidance of the steward in charge of the storeroom, they found the gift from the empress within a short time.
Rong Yi knew a little bit about the art of distorting yellow, but he was helpless against the unobvious medicine trap sent by the queen. He waited and watched for a long time, and then pointed at a bright golden light with his chin and said: "Anyway, the princess mansion is also If you don’t lack these things, you might as well send them away.”
After the exhausting calculations of the last reincarnation, Rong Qi now just wants to enjoy life with little ups and downs, but the so-called courtesy is not coming, it is inappropriate, and coming and not going is also inappropriate.Since the queen has a big gift to send, he has to return a gift or two.
Rong Qi picked out an unremarkable blood-colored gemstone among the many gifts, and said, "Brother, please help me deal with the rest."
Rong Yi nodded quickly, asked someone to move all the things out, and repeatedly told Rong Qi that as long as the things were sent by the queen, they had to be checked thoroughly before they could be used.
After Rong Yi and Xiao Changqing left, the Princess Mansion was completely quiet, and it was already dead of night.Rong Qi stood in front of the window sill in a snow-colored jacket, looking up at the night that seemed to be blurred by thick ink. There were a few or two stars dotted in the night, which were not very conspicuous, but added a bit of brilliance to the overly quiet night .The lamps in the Princess Mansion were on all night, and the dim lights inside and outside reflected Rong Qi's gentle face on and off, adding a bit of gloom to him.
Rong Qi slowly caressed the red gemstone he got before, and the gemstone under the light became more and more radiant and dazzling. He looked down at the gemstone, and then casually put it on the window sill, ignoring it.
The next day, Rong Qi got up as usual when the sun was high, and after having a late breakfast, he called the hidden guards that Emperor Zhou Wen had given to the original owner, and ordered them to do some things.
Two days later, Rong Qi personally brought people into the palace to give gifts to the queen. There were a total of nine large wooden boxes, all of which were tightly sealed, so that people could not see what was inside.
Dongshuang sat anxiously opposite Rong Qi, observing Rong Qi's expression carefully, she didn't know what the princess wanted to do with some boxes of poison into the palace, what would she do if she was misunderstood that the princess wanted to assassinate the empress?
Dong Shuang was sweating profusely, looking at Rong Qi again, he was flipping through the yellowed books with a calm face, and from time to time he even raised the corners of his lips to show that he was in a good mood.
When they arrived at the imperial palace, Rong Qi asked someone to send several large wooden boxes to the central palace where the empress was. All the eunuchs in the central palace knew Rong Qi, and saw that he was here to give gifts as usual, without blocking or checking, they were respectful and polite He led Rong Qi and others to meet the queen.
When Rong Qi saw the empress, the empress was discussing Mid-Autumn Festival with several concubines. The empress was sitting on the main seat, holding a beautiful porcelain cup in her hand. She listened to the suggestions of the next concubines with a smile on her face, One or two just-right pointers, which successfully attracted the praise and shame of the concubines.
Rong Qi is the most beloved eldest princess of Emperor Wen of Zhou, and there is no one else in the palace who can surpass him in status except the emperor.For the queen and the prince, Rong Qi only needs to maintain a superficial respect.As for concubines of average status, they are not qualified enough to be respected by Rong Qi.
After meeting with the queen, Rong Qi explained the purpose of this trip.
The empress laughed and blamed: "There is nothing in this palace, why do you need to send it all the way in, could it be that Changxi is still worried that your father will treat your mother badly?"
Rong Qi took the wooden box containing the red gem from Dongshuang, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, this is the first gift from Chang Xi, please accept it with a smile."
The queen nodded to Gong'e, who was waiting by her side, and Gong'e immediately stepped forward, took the wooden box from Rong Qi's hand, walked up to the queen, and carefully opened the wooden box.
The red gemstones in the wooden box were exquisite and dazzling, but the queen frowned and changed her expression the moment she saw the gemstones.
Those who can serve in front of the queen are those who can read words and demeanor. Seeing that the queen looked unhappy, Gong'e immediately put away the wooden box and stood back to her original position with her arms in her arms.
The purpose of Rong Qi's trip has been half achieved, and after a few words of hypocritical politeness with the empress, he got up to leave, but the empress did not keep him, and sent him out of the middle palace.
After Rong Qi left, the Empress didn't have the heart to discuss matters anymore, she said a few words absent-mindedly, and then sent everyone away.
When there were no outsiders in the huge hall, the queen finally showed a gloomy and cold expression. Her whole body exuded a gloomy and majestic aura, which made the already dignified atmosphere in the hall even more depressing, making people almost breathless.
After a long time, the queen slowly said, "Bring in the things Chang Xi sent."
The eunuchs in Gong'e guessed that the things Rong Qi sent might not be very good, but they never expected that Rong Qi would be so bold as to send poisonous things into the palace, colorful poisonous snakes, poisonous spiders crawling around , scorpions with teeth and claws, densely packed ants...
For a while, the screams and vomiting in the hall were endless.
The queen hid in the corner with a pale face, and the two maids in thin clothes tremblingly protected the queen behind them. They stared at the poison that was getting closer to them with earthy faces, and couldn't help screaming.
The turmoil in the middle palace did not last long. After the poison was released, Habayashi guards immediately started to clean it up. However, the type and quantity of the poison were not sure, and the middle palace would be unoccupied for a while.
The reason why Rong Qi sent poison to the central palace was just to warn the queen that he had no intention of harming anyone.Therefore, the poisons sent to the middle palace are processed, and the people who are touched by the poisons may be slightly injured or frightened, but they will not die.
Dongshuang followed Rong Qi step by step, covering her ears with her hands, as if trying to block out the shrill shouts from the middle palace.But she couldn't help but think about the current situation in the middle palace, with so many people and so many poisons, whether the current middle palace is already full of corpses.And the empress, if she died too, what method should the princess use to get out?Your majesty loves the princess, but the power behind the empress is not small, just in case... Dong Shuang's worried brows are almost knotted.
At this moment, a thin woman in court dress ran over from a distance, she didn't salute Rong Qi, she just bumped into Rong Qi and ran away again covering her face.
Rong Qi's eyes froze slightly, and he reached out his hand to the place where Gong'e bumped into him before, and found a small crumpled paper ball from it.Rong Qi raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked in the direction where Gong'e was escaping in surprise. After a while, he spread out the paper ball and carefully looked at the contents on it.
There are only a few handwritings on the paper ball, but what it carries is an earth-shattering secret.
Rong Qi's eyelids drooped slightly, his mind was racing with thoughts, he was filtering out those who might know the secret.There are many people in the palace, but there are only a few people who are qualified to know the queen's biggest secret. Among these people, there is only one person who can risk his life to reveal it to him.
That... the nanny in charge who disobeyed the queen in front of the queen.
After leaving the central palace, Rong Qi led Dongshuang to the Qianling Palace. Even though it was the time for Emperor Wen of Zhou to deal with state affairs, the news from the central palace might have already reached his ears.No matter what Emperor Zhou Wen thought about the poison entering the palace, Rong Qi had to go and plead guilty to Emperor Zhou Wen himself.
When they arrived at the Qianling Palace, Rong Qi explained his intention to the eunuch Hou Men, and the eunuch quickly entered the Qianling Palace to report, not long after, the eunuch came out of the palace, and said with a smile: "Princess, Your Majesty welcomes you."
Rong Qi nodded and said: "I'm sorry to bother you, Eunuch. There is one more thing, I would like to ask Eunuch for a little favor. Dongshuang, my maidservant, has been traveling here and there with me for a long time. During this period, I didn't even drink saliva. Please Eunuch send someone to take her down and let her rest for a while. I have seen Father Emperor, so I will personally pick her up."
The eunuch Houmen said: "Princess, don't worry, Miss Dongshuang will be safe and wait until the princess goes to meet you."
Dongshuang immediately understood Rong Qi's plan, she shook her head with red eyes and said: "Princess, this servant will go with you to meet His Majesty, this servant is not tired, not thirsty, and I don't even want to leave the princess."
Hou Men's eunuch said: "Miss Dongshuang, Your Majesty loves the princess and misses her all the time. Miss, please don't disturb the princess and His Majesty's reunion."
After Dong Shuang was taken away by the eunuch Hou Men, Rong Qi let out a sigh of relief, turned around and entered the Qianling Hall.The huge Qianling Palace was exceptionally quiet, as if all sounds had been silenced. There was no one else in the palace except Zhou Wendi who was buried in government affairs and the eunuch Sanle who bowed his head to study ink.Seeing Rong Qi approaching slowly, the eunuch San Le kept moving his hands, but his eyes did not stop, and gave Rong Qi a series of winks.
The corners of Rong Qi's lips were slightly pursed, but he still decided to follow the eunuch Sanle's instructions. He quietly went to the tea room next door and made a cup of fragrant hot tea for Emperor Zhou Wen himself.
Rong Qi breathed out a bit of turbid air, walked slowly to Emperor Wen of Zhou, held the tea in both hands, and said respectfully: "Father, you have worked hard, drink some tea to rest your breath."
Emperor Wen of Zhou glanced at Rong Qi indifferently, changed the memorial in his hand, and continued to give instructions, ignoring Rong Qi.
The eunuch San Le wanted to persuade Zhou Wendi a few words, but seeing that His Majesty, who usually protects the princess like an eyeball, deliberately ignored the princess, he knew that His Majesty wanted to teach the princess a little lesson.Knowing this, Eunuch San Le stopped trying to persuade him.Among other things, the princess' actions today are really too big. If the queen really cares about it, the princess will have to suffer a lot.
After half an hour, the tea in Rong Qi's hand was completely cold, and the memorial on Zhou Wendi's desk was almost finished, so he put down the pen in his hand, stared at Rong Qi silently for a while, and said slowly: " After all, I will give you a chance to explain."
Rong Qi lowered his eyelids, and said in a low voice: "Recently, when the government put the congratulatory gifts into storage, it was discovered that the birthday presents given by the Empress Empress to my ministers were contaminated with toxins."
Emperor Zhou Wen's eyes turned cold in an instant, and his elegant and refined face showed a bit of obscurity. Just when he was about to ask some more questions, the eunuch of the Hou family came to report, saying that it was the empress who asked to see him.
Emperor Wen of Zhou tightened his hands slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Xuan."
When eunuch Hou Men went to see Empress Xuan, eunuch San Le led Rong Qi into the side hall.Eunuch San Le settled Rong Qi, and then turned around to serve Emperor Zhou Wen in the Qianling Hall. Rong Qi could only vaguely hear some sharp words in the side hall, which were the quarrel between Emperor Zhou Wen and the empress.
After the queen left, Rong Qi made another cup of tea and brought it out.
Emperor Zhou Wen sat behind the desk with a tired expression, while the eunuch Sanle massaged his temples with a worried face. When he saw Rong Qi, Emperor Zhou Wen waved slightly towards San Le, and the eunuch San Le immediately stopped his movements, He took the whisk again and stood quietly behind Zhou Wendi.
Rong Qi handed the tea to Emperor Zhou Wen and said, "Father, drink some water."
Emperor Wen of Zhou subsided all his exhaustion in an instant. He took the warm tea from Rong Qi's hand with a smile, took two sips, and said, "Qi'er's tea making skills have improved a lot, very good."
Emperor Wen of Zhou drank the tea, and said again: "Qi'er, it was not the queen who was poisoned in the queen's gift, you are wrong to blame her. But the father has already made an agreement with the queen, since you are still young, this matter I won’t make any fuss about it. However, please remember that this is not an example.”
Rong Qi Qingjun's face was apologetic, and he said: "I acted impulsively, I will go and apologize to the Empress, and ask her to punish me."
Emperor Wen of Zhou frowned, and said in a hoarse voice: "The empress has already said that she doesn't care about this matter, so there is no need to apologize. I still have some things to do. If you miss your mother and concubine, go visit her and go back home. "
Rong Qi naturally answered 'yes' softly.
After leaving Qianling Hall, Rong Qi went to pick up Dongshuang, and took her to Huaqing Hall.The noble concubine Chenhuang had already been waiting in the Huaqing Palace, as soon as Rong Qi arrived, she immediately sent the eunuch Gong'e away and took him into the inner hall.
"Rong Qi, are you crazy? Do you know what your actions today mean?" The Imperial Concubine Chen roared tearfully, "Do you not want to live anymore? You are so brave enough to send poison into the middle palace, empress You can use this to sue you for plotting to rebel, and no matter how much your father loves you, he will not be able to save you."
Rong Qi looked at the woman in front of him, she seemed to be made of water, she always had endless tears.In the memory of the original owner, the imperial concubine's eyes were always red and swollen, she cried when she was happy, she cried when she was unhappy, she cried when encountering big things, and also cried when encountering trivial things.She was born in a scholarly family, and she was surrounded by an elegant book fragrance, but she did not inherit the strong and brave women of the scholarly family.
Rong Qi thought, the most daring thing she did in her life was to conceal the gender of the original owner, and keep her by her side and teach her for more than ten years.According to her temperament, in the past ten years or so, she probably didn't have a day of peace.
Afraid of being betrayed, afraid of being found out about Rong Qi's gender, afraid of the death of the mother and son, and afraid of involving others.
Rong Qi sighed inexplicably, and he explained: "Mother, the queen's gift to the son was poisoned, and what the son did today was just to remind the queen to be careful of the people around her. You have to be counted."
When Imperial Concubine Chen heard that the congratulatory gift was poisoned, her face turned pale with fright, and she hurriedly asked, "What's the matter with you?"
Rong Qi briefly explained the process of discovering the poisonous gift. The concubine Chenhuang didn't experience it personally, so she believed it easily.After learning that the poison gift had been disposed of, she was still worried, and told Rong Qi to check again and again.After all, she is a woman who has survived in the palace for more than twenty years. The concubine Chenhuang is no less scheming than other concubines, but she has a fatal weakness, and she is bound to be restrained in her actions.
Rong Qi did not stay in Huaqing Palace for dinner at the request of Imperial Concubine Chen, he and Imperial Concubine Chen got on the carriage after a few words, and left the palace without hindrance.
It wasn't until the noisy sounds on the street kept irritating her ears that Dongshuang believed that she and the princess had really left the palace completely, and she couldn't help but lifted the curtain of the car and looked outside , there are restaurants and teahouses lined up on both sides of the street, and the eaves are sparkling and uneven.Both sides of the street are crowded with pedestrians, they are talking and laughing, or walking in a hurry.
Dongshuang carefully put down the car curtain, she raised her eyes to look at Rong Qi, but saw that he had closed his eyes and fell asleep at some point, his flowing face was extraordinarily soft and delicate.
The carriage moved forward unhurriedly, and it didn't take long before it arrived outside the princess mansion. Rong Qi was woken up by a sharp and mournful cry. His eyes opened for a moment, so indifferent that he had no emotion at all.
As the speed of the carriage slowed down, the piercing screams became more and more clear, Rong Qi frowned slightly, and asked: "Who is crying here?"
Dongshuang's face turned pale, and she hurriedly replied, "It's Mrs. Ye."
Rong Qi thought for a long time before he dug out the old Mrs. Ye from Dongshuang's mouth from his memory.The so-called Mrs. Ye is Ye Chenghao's mother Ye Zhushi, a domineering and ignorant country woman.It's also ridiculous to say that this Ye Zhu family relied on the original owner's liking for Ye Chenghao, and was quite tolerant towards her. He put on the airs of an old lady and asked the original owner to serve her in-laws and husbands like a country wife.Not only did the original owner hand over the power of the princess mansion, but also let the original owner decide to take a concubine for Ye Chenghao.The original owner was rich and precious, so he refused to accept it, so Ye Zhu cried and made trouble and hanged himself three times, making the princess's mansion turn into a miasma. In the end, Emperor Wen of Zhou couldn't stand it anymore and kicked people out.
When the carriage stopped, the distance between Ye Zhushi and the carriage was less than two feet. When she saw the guards pointing at her with cold swords, she shrank her neck in fear, but immediately shouted: "I am the princess' mother-in-law. If any of you dare to hurt me, I will let the princess kill you."
Rong Qi got off the carriage with a blank expression, passed Ye Zhushi without looking sideways, and walked towards the princess mansion.
When Ye Zhu saw Rong Qi, she hurriedly said loudly: "Changxi, you vicious and unfilial woman, I am your mother-in-law, I want you now..."
Ye Zhushi's half-spoken words stopped abruptly, her cheeks were pale, and she didn't dare to meet Rong Qi who suddenly looked at her.Ye Zhushi has never read a book, and she doesn't know how to describe the pair of lifeless eyes she saw just now.All she knew was that she was covered in cold sweat just now.She also believed that if she continued talking, she might really die.
Rong Qi turned around, walked slowly towards Ye Zhushi, and stopped three steps away from her: "Mrs. Ye is looking for Ben Gong, why?"
Rong Qi got closer, and Ye Zhushi really knew what terror is. Seeing Rong Qi's gentle and gentle face, she didn't feel relaxed. Her legs trembled uncontrollably, and she couldn't help but want to kneel on the ground.She wanted to put on the posture of being a mother-in-law as before, and let Rong Qi be filial to her, but in the end, she couldn't speak when she was about to speak.
Seeing Ye Zhushi's cloudy eyes filled with panic, Rong Qi curled up his lips in satisfaction.
Ye Zhushi is one of the most shrews in the village, and she is also known as a bully. The original owner respects her, and she relies on this to do whatever she wants in the princess mansion, and even wants to bury the eldest princess.However, after leaving the gate of the Princess's mansion, Ye Zhushi is just a country woman who can't stand on the stage. She behaves timidly, and she doesn't even dare to confront people in silk and satin.
In Rong Qi's view, Ye Zhu's family is a typical Wo Liheng.
Ye Zhushi was so frightened by Rong Qi that she couldn't raise her aura anymore. With a pale face, she looked at the long sword that was getting closer and closer to her in a panic, and cried: "Princess, Da Zhuang is in a very bad situation now. , for the sake of husband and wife, please help him."
Rong Qi took a long sword from the guard's hand, he held it in his hand for a while, and suddenly pointed the long sword at Ye Zhushi, Ye Zhushi was unsteady on his legs, and rushed forward, the sharp blade came from her cheek A few strands of gray hair were scratched, and a faint bloodstain was left on her face.Ye Zhushi slumped on the ground, exchanging breaths rapidly, staring at Rong Qi in panic.
Rong Qi took two steps forward, threw the long sword with a few inconspicuous traces of blood beside Ye Zhu, and said coldly: "I have already said that it is all right for me to summon the imperial physician to treat Ye Chenghao. The premise is that I want to hear the news of Xie Jingshu's death."
Ye Zhushi turned her head stiffly, and looked at the long sword that was thrown on the ground by Rong Qi and was less than two feet away from her. The cold light and slight blood on the long sword seemed to be a warning to her. I felt a tightness in my lower abdomen, and something was out of control.
Rong Qi's eyes narrowed slightly, he glanced at Ye Zhushi lightly, and brought Dongshuang into the princess mansion.
Ye Zhu's squabbling did not cause any disturbance to Rong Qi, but Rong Yi and Xiao Changqing, as if they were afraid that he would soften their hearts towards Ye Chenghao's family, always thought of ways to look at him.
In the evening of this day, just as Rong Qi sent Rong Yi and Xiao Changqing away, an unexpected visitor broke into the Princess Mansion.Rong Qi looked at the evildoer in red who was leisurely approaching him as if taking a walk, his expression was unclear.
I saw that the man was extremely handsome, and the outline of the facial features like engravings was elegant and picturesque.A pair of Danfeng eyes that seem to be smiling but not smiling are always full of unruly and unruly.He wore a blood-colored robe with black-patterned cloud sleeves, and he was graceful and elegant.Compared with Rong Qi's gentleness and gentleness, this man's whole body is full of contempt and contempt.
In Rong Qi's impression, there is only one person who can wear the red robe so magnificently.
"Lu Heng." Rong Qi said calmly, with a firm tone.
Lu Heng folded his arms around his chest, with a teasing arc on his lips, leaning against a tree, and said with a smile: "It's been known for a long time that Princess Changxi is infatuated with Ye Chenghao, her son-in-law. The news that the princess and the son-in-law have reconciled, my son was curious, and I came to find out. I didn't expect the princess to be so inconsistent. She just separated from the son-in-law, and now she is accompanied by the general of the God of War. It really makes people sigh .”
Rong Qi sat silently at the stone table, tea was still warm on the stone table in front of him, Rong Qi personally poured two cups of hot tea and put them in two places respectively, then turned to Lu Heng who was leaning on the tree trunk Said: "Come and sit."
Lu Heng stared at Rong Qi vigilantly, hesitated for a while, and then set off to walk to the position opposite Rong Qi.After sitting down, Lu Heng did not dare to drink the tea made by Rong Qi, because Rong Qi always used to add some supplements to the tea when making tea, and the effect of the supplements depends entirely on his mood.Lu Heng didn't think that, according to Rong Qi's penny-pinching temperament, he would be able to ignore him a lot after being ridiculed by him. The memory of the painful experience told him all the time that Rong Qi was far worse than he acted. Like the scenery Jiyue.
When old friends met, Lu Heng wanted to say a lot to Rong Qi, but after hesitating for a while, he didn't know where to start.
It was dusk, and the Princess Mansion had already lit the lamps. Rong Qi sipped his tea, and looked up at Lu Heng. Lu Heng's eyes were flickering, and the expression on his face was complicated.
After a long time, Lu Heng sighed, "I thought you were dead."
Rong Qi gently placed the teacup he was holding on the stone table, his eyelids drooped slightly, and he looked at the hands placed beside the teacup. These hands were beautiful and slender, with well-defined joints, but were so white that they were almost transparent, not like the hands of living people.
Rong Qi moved his fingers a little funny, this is not the hand of a living person!
He is just a borrower of this body, and the outsider who borrows this body to recuperate his soul is already a walking dead, so how can there be the breath of a living person?
Rong Qi picked up the teacup again, stroked it with his fingertips and said: "At that time, the mysterious thunder hit the top, and my body was annihilated. I also thought that I would be destroyed in this way. It's hard to recuperate, so I went to reincarnation in the small world." Then, he asked a little strangely: "Why did you come to the small world?"
Lu Heng stared at Rong Qi for a long time before saying in astonishment: "The birth of the Huansheng Pill is unacceptable, and you really made it!" A bit of luck, Rong Qi's luck has never been bad.
In the original world, although Rong Qi's talent for refining medicine is unique, there are also alchemists who are higher than him. However, no one except Rong Qi has successfully refined the legendary Huansheng Pill.Lu Heng stared at Rong Qi curiously. Could it be that that person had such a profound influence on him that the alchemy that made him sleepless, forgetting to eat, and practice was only to revive him?
As for why he went to the small world, Lu Heng said in disbelief: "The disobedient kitten at home ran away, why don't you catch it back?"
Rong Qi knew about the disobedient kitten in Lu Heng's words. His real name was Xiao Mu, and he was Lu Heng's fellow apprentice.Lu Heng's master mainly focuses on refining weapons, but Xiao Mu likes to play with medicinal materials. When he was still young, he really liked to learn how to refine medicine from Rong Qi, but after a great battle between righteousness and evil, Xiao Mu never went to Rong Qi again. I gathered around.
Rong Qi himself was also seriously injured in that battle, and most of his memories of past events are blurred.
The past is over in a few words.
Lu Heng saw that it was getting late, and the things that should be confirmed had been confirmed, so he talked about the business: "I have two things to do when I come to the princess mansion today. First, to determine whether the eldest princess Changxi has been taken away, Now it has been confirmed. The second is to inform the princess who has been robbed that a reward has been officially offered in Jianghu, and the head of Princess Changxi is 10 taels of gold. At present, several sects have taken over the task and are ready to move."
Rong Qi's eyelids drooped slightly, and he tapped on the table casually, as if he didn't care about the news brought by Lu Heng, but also seemed to know everything in his chest.
For Lu Heng, who can use force to solve the problem but never use his brain, Rong Qi's appearance of strategizing is the most annoying to him. He couldn't help but interrupt Rong Qi and said, "How about it? Are you encountering a problem? , do you want me to help you deal with it?"
Rong Qi said: "No, those people are nothing to worry about, I have my own solution. If you are in a hurry, you can do another thing for me."
Lu Heng's eyelids twitched in displeasure, what does it mean to be idle?
He is also a big shot in the Jianghu now, okay?
There are countless things waiting for him to deal with every day, okay?
Where did he look so restless?
Rong Qi understood Lu Heng's personality and didn't care about it. He just told the plan he had just completed and repaired. Rong Qi's voice was deep and steady, and the plan was meticulously planned. Hearing that, Lu Heng felt chills down his spine.If he guessed correctly, this plan should have been conceived by Rong Qi after listening to his words, because he himself also occupied a part of it.
Lu Heng didn't stay in the Princess Mansion for too long. Before leaving, he asked Rong Qi how he could tell that he was Lu Heng. After all, his current description is far from the original world, so it should be difficult to identify.
Asked about this, Rong Qi only smiled lightly and said: "There are many people who wear red robes, but only a few who can embody its elegance."
After Lu Heng left, Rong Qi didn't get up to leave either. He played with the dried teacup, thinking about the feasibility of the plan.Rong Qi was very relieved of Lu Heng. Although that person was lazy and unruly, he acted like the wind and fire, pursuing perfection.
When the lights were bright and the shadows of the trees were dancing, Rong Qi got up and walked into the house. At that time, Dong Shuang had been staring at Rong Qi for a long time. When she saw Rong Qi, Dong Shuang rushed to greet her anxiously: "Princess, can you please?" It is considered to be back, and the servant immediately asked someone to set up a banquet."
Rong Qi nodded, and asked again: "The Mid-Autumn Festival will be in three days, is the gift ready?"
Dongshuang said: "The congratulatory gift has been prepared, as in previous years, the gift list will be presented to you later."
The maids in charge of the Princess Mansion are all carefully selected, they are prudent and shrewd, not only the original owner can rest assured, Rong Qi is impeccable after taking over.
In addition, Dongshuang also took out two postcards from her sleeves, one from Guihe Princess Mansion and one from the first, both of which invited Rong Qi to enter the palace with them on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Rong Qi didn't understand what he meant, but it didn't prevent him from directly refusing, he said calmly: "I've rejected them all, I have already made an appointment with my elder brother, and we will enter the palace together at that time."
Dongshuang hurriedly retracted the post with a happy smile. These days, the Princess Mansion received a lot of posts, and she declined all the posts she could refuse. Now these two are out of her control, so she has to let the princess decide.Dongshuang was clear about the plans of the two governments. She didn't want to see the princess meeting the wolf after leaving the jackal.
There are a lot of hands in the Mid-Autumn Festival, in order not to be pushed into the trap by the extra hands, Rong Qi has made full preparations before entering the palace, ready to let people steal chickens and lose nothing.
On the day of Mid-Autumn Festival, the time for Rong Qi and Rong Yi to enter the palace was neither too early nor too late, and when they visited Emperor Zhou Wen and the imperial concubine, it was almost time for the dinner to start.
As Emperor Zhou Wen's most beloved eldest princess, Rong Qi's position is just below Emperor Zhou Wen's, and he can be expected.The queen sat dignifiedly and gracefully beside Emperor Wen of Zhou, and together with Emperor Wen of Zhou accepted the kneeling worship of all officials and their families.
When all the officials returned to their thrones, the empress waved to Rong Qi with a gentle expression: "Changxi, come quickly and sit with the empress."
The imperial concubine Chenhuang's complexion turned pale in an instant, she shook her head with red eyes, and asked Zhou Wendi for help with her eyes.
Emperor Zhou Wen's demeanor was not good-looking either. He glanced at the queen coldly and said, "Changxi is a junior, and it is against the rules to sit with us."
Zhou Wendi's words made the queen's eyes flicker with sarcasm.
Rules, does Rong Qi still have rules?
The unhappiness between the emperor and empress has become clear.
In the imperial palace, hundreds of banquets are held every year, and it is inevitable that they will be clichéd every time.During the banquet, there were silk and bamboo around the ears, there were singing and dancing, and there were also hundreds of officials drinking and laughing.However, all the excitement is just superficial pleasantries.Palace banquets are rare for ordinary family members, but they are not uncommon for the people at the banquet, and it is hard to be very interested.
After the perfunctory greetings, what remains is the boredom and chatter of the banquet.
Rong Qi swept around the hall, and most of the people in the hall were talking and laughing at Yan Yan, but the smiles on their faces were a bit hypocritical, and the words between you and me were vague.
Rong Qi's eyes slowly swept across Xiao Changqing and Rong Yi, Xiao Changqing was keenly aware of his gaze, his brows furrowed slightly impatiently, and he showed a light smile to Rong Qi.Rong Yi held his wine glass with great interest, and looked at the graceful steps and dances of the dancers in the palace. He sometimes nodded in approval, sometimes frowned in displeasure, and his facial expressions were wonderful and changeable.
Rong Qi is not very interested in singing and dancing, and has no obsession with drinks and food. Since the location is too conspicuous, it is difficult to leave the banquet early, so he has to wait for the banquet to end like most people.
The incident happened near the end of the banquet, and it was already close to midnight. Both the officials and the guards were extremely tired.The dancing girl in the palace dances in a whirling posture, her skirts are floating, and her frowns and smiles are soft and charming.The bright lights in the hall perfectly reflect the dancer's incomparably agile posture and dynamics.Just when everyone was intoxicated, the purple-clothed dancer in the lead had a frown, and pulled out a soft sword as thin as a cicada's wing from the belt around her waist while dancing.The dancer took advantage of everyone's stunned
