Wind and Rain Empire

Wang Ma's room

Lan Xueyi pushed open the door of the room where Wang Yuhe lived, looked around, and checked every corner

After rummaging through boxes and cabinets for a while, she found nothing, her inner monologue

"If it was a golden man who came to kill our family and someone was ordered to protect it, it would be suspicious to leave me alive. Why did he specifically mention protecting Wang Ma? This is too strange. Could it be that Wang Ma is a golden man?"

When Lan Xueyi was about to turn around and leave, her gaze stayed on the calligraphy and paintings on the wall

"Wang Ma is a country woman who has never been interested in calligraphy and painting. Why is there a picture here?"

So she picked up the calligraphy and painting, and saw a hidden compartment in the wall, and there was a locked box inside.

Lan Xueyi took out the box, studied the lock for a while, and found that it was made of wood, so she stretched out her hand and pulled hard, and the lock was broken

"Damn it, it's so strong, it hurts so much!"

Lan Xueyi blew air on his hand and then shook it vigorously

After opening the box, I found that it contained a gold medal bestowed by the emperor.

Lan Xueyi muttered

"Isn't this a reward from my adoptive father? How could it be locked here?"

When she picked up the gold medal, she found that there was still a broken note at the bottom of the box, which read:

Yuhe, the matter of snow clothes is entrusted to Qing, and Wang Qing will not take it up. If you take on this heavy responsibility, you may not be able to take it off for life. I am always moved by Qing's great virtue, and I am a father

The note has since been torn

"As a father? Is this written by my father? Could it be that my father already knew that he would be doomed, so he entrusted me to Wang Ma?" The two of us survived (continue to think) that’s why we prepared guards? Now that guards are prepared, why can’t we protect the whole family? No matter how you say it, it doesn’t make sense!”

Lan Xueyi took away the gold medal, put the note back into the box, and put the box back to its original place, her inner monologue

"Looks like I'll have to go out and find a lock to lock it again"

Lan Xueyi walked out of the gate to buy a lock, when she saw Wanyanyue waiting outside the gate, she turned her head impatiently and ignored her

She walked by Wan Yanyue

"Girl, I don't care about you because you are a little girl, but if you pester me every day, don't blame me for being rude to you."

Wan Yanyue laughed

"Hahaha, are you being rude to me? How can you be rude to me? I'm just waiting!"

Unexpectedly, Hu San jumped out from behind Lan Xueyi, and touched Lan Xueyi's acupoints.

Lan Xueyi was surprised

"you!"

Wanyanyue smiled proudly at Lan Xueyi

"How about it? You didn't expect this girl to have such a hand, did you? You're welcome!"

"Today, the Japanese general was negligent and fell into your hands. If this is fate, I will admit (close my eyes) that I will be killed or cut, and I will do as you please. Anyway, I know you have wanted to kill me for a long time."

Wan Yanyue said while pacing in front of Lan Xueyi

"To be honest, I used to think that you were particularly difficult to deal with. I lost to you every time I fought. I didn't expect that you would fall into my hands today."

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and do it"

Wan Yanyue raised her voice

"You figured out the situation, you, you dare to order me, you tell me to do it, I will not! What can you do to me? This girl is not here to kill you (to Hu San) and take him away. This girl should enjoy it This hard-won time is a shame."

Hu San jumped away with Lan Xueyi, Wan Yanyue took out a letter from her arms, threw it casually, and threw it under the gate of General Lan's mansion

Wan Yanyue lamented

"I want to know how the Song people will react if a general is lost here? It's really interesting."

Then she left with a smile

After a while, Wang Yuhe returned to the General's Mansion, saw a letter at the door, felt strange, bent down to pick it up, opened it and read it

"General Lan is in my hands. If there are no accidents, he will die tonight. If he can't be rescued, it can be said that there is no one left in Song court. Come on Wanyanyue."

Wang Yuhe didn't take it seriously at all, smiled, and thought about it indifferently

"Wanyanyue? Who is it?"

After not thinking for a long time, I suddenly remembered, and my face changed drastically.

"Could it be that female assassin? Oops!"

In a daze, the letter fell to the ground

Imperial Palace Study Room

The emperor was looking at the memorial leisurely while drinking tea

Eunuch Wu ran into the imperial study in a panic, saw the emperor standing aside after drinking tea, and called softly

"official"

"what happened?"

"Someone from General Lan's mansion came to ask for an interview, saying that something serious happened."

The emperor felt a little surprised and laughed.

"General Lan's Mansion? Who's here?"

"That person is General Lan's wet nurse, Wang Yuhe"

emperor put down tea

"Oh, it's Mama Wang, she wants to see me (thinking for a while, then ask) what kind of troubles can happen in this General Lan's mansion? Does she even need to see me?"

"She is waiting at the outer door now, official, if you don't see me, the servant will drive her away"

the emperor waved

"Hey, this Wang Ma is a veteran, you can't just drive her away, you invite her in"

"Yes, official"

Eunuch Wu approached the door and shouted loudly

"Prince Xuan Yuhe has an audience"

Wang Yuhe ran over with small steps, stepped through the door, and bowed his head to salute

"Grassman Wang Yuhe kowtowed to the government, long live (interrupted)"

"Get up and talk to me quickly"

Wang Yuhe hurriedly stood up straight

"Report to the official family, my general, she, she was kidnapped"

The emperor was drinking tea and was so shocked that he sprayed on the ground

"What? (looks up at Wang Yuhe) What did you say?"

Eunuch Wu stepped forward to wipe the emperor's clothes, and asked with concern

"Officer, are you alright?"

The emperor motioned for Eunuch Wu to leave and waved his hand, pointing at Wang Yuhe

"Did I hear wrong? Kidnapping?"

"Official, you heard me right, your adopted daughter, Lan Xueyi, has been kidnapped"

The emperor was furious, stood up and pointed at Wang Yuhe

"Wang Yuhe, you are so bold, you dare to tease me!"

Wang Yuhe trembled and knelt on the ground

"Even if you give the grassroots ten courage, the officials, the grassroots will not dare to deceive the officials!"

The emperor walks in front of Wang Yuhe

"Then tell me, Xue Yi has such high martial arts skills and is a general of the imperial court. How could he be kidnapped? If it gets out, won't Jin Guo laugh at me and say that there is no one in Song Dynasty?"

Wang Yuhe had a bitter face and was about to cry

"That's exactly what happened (handed over the letter) This is what the kidnapper wrote"

The emperor grabbed the letter, glanced at it and threw it on the ground, and asked Wang Yuhe

"What kind of role is the signer Wan Yanyue? Can he kidnap Xue Yi?"

Wang Yuhe replied sincerely

"Cao Min didn't know, but one day she sprained her ankle, and Cao Min took her to the General's Mansion. Later, she assassinated General Lan several times, but she never succeeded."

"What? An assassin? You actually brought her back to the General's Mansion? And if she didn't succeed, then Xue Yi won. Why didn't you send the official to deal with it if you won? What kind of brains are you two?"

Wang Yuhe is speechless

Eunuch Wu hastened to smooth things over at this time

"Officials, now is not the time to blame. After all, General Lan is the adopted daughter of the official family. There must be a reason for her being kidnapped."

emperor nod

"What I said is, (to Eunuch Wu) you take my password and send out five squadrons of the Imperial Army to search the city, and don't come back if you don't find any one!"

Eunuch Wu bowed his head

"Yes, the servant will do it now"

The emperor looked at Wang Yuhe and asked impatiently

"What are you still kneeling here for? Go back!"

Wang Yuhe got up, shouted "The grassroots resign" and ran away in small steps

The emperor paced up and down the room with his hands behind his back, sighing

"Oh, how did this happen?"

Chenxi Palace

Concubine Chen is sitting on the couch bored, looking at her fingers and looking at the mirror

Her personal maid, Tian Xing, ran in in a panic, Concubine Chen glanced at her

Tianxing ran in a hurry, panting for breath, and said intermittently

"Mother, empress, then, that purple beauty, cough, she... is here"

Concubine Chen held a teacup and drank tea unhurriedly, with a sneer

"Okay, it's just in time, let's get ready for the banquet"

Tianxing looked embarrassed, hesitating, and didn't know whether to say it or not.

"But...she..."

Concubine Chen looked at Tianxing with disdain

"But what?"

Tianxing hesitated for a long time, but finally he dared to say

"Princess Yongping is here too."

Concubine Chen was so excited that she almost spilled the tea, and hurriedly handed the tea bowl to Tianxing

"What? Princess Yongping? Why did she come?"

Tianxing took the tea and put it down

"I don't know, I don't know. According to the palace people, the two of them met outside the palace. After only a few words, Princess Yongping followed."

Concubine Chen frowned

"She's a little girl here to join in the fun, don't spoil the good things of this palace, she has to be kicked out... No way (after thinking about it), it's all right, come as soon as she comes, she is a princess after all, and she can't be kicked out ( To Tianxing) You go and ask the servants to set up another case and eat food."

"Yes, servant girl, let's go now"

under the stars

Concubine Chen walked up and down in the inner hall, talking to herself

"I came here on my own, and I still have to bring someone to eat and drink. Whoever doesn't understand etiquette at all. Such a person can still enter the palace. The officials are really confused."

then out of the inner hall

At the banquet, Concubine Chen, Princess Yongping and Zi Linglong sat down

Concubine Chen put on a very good-natured smile, but people with a discerning eye could still see how fake her smile was.

"My sister set up this banquet today to welcome my beautiful sister. I wonder if my sister likes it?"

Zi Linglong smiled slightly, bowed her head

"My sister's layout here is much more exquisite than my sister's. The food and wine are even more delicious. My sister likes it very much. Thank you for your kindness and inviting me over here."

Chen Feidao

"My sister is so beautiful, I feel pity for her, and I heard that my sister plays and sings well, it is really rare, I am afraid that I will not find the second place in the harem, I can imagine that this official family loves my sister."

Zi Linglong had no extra words to say, because Concubine Chen was telling the truth, so she answered modestly

"No, it's just that my sister is lucky"

Tianxing pour wine one by one

Princess Yongping asked while eating

"Concubine Chen, you don't call me Princess for having such delicious food, what should you do?"

Concubine Chen smiled at Yongping

"Oh, Your Royal Highness laughed at me. The food in this palace is too embarrassing to ask the princess to come to eat. On weekdays, the princess is dressed in fine clothes and fine food. How can she look at these simple and unpretentious food in this palace (inner monologue) Damn girl, come here! Make trouble for me (raise glass) princess, beautiful sister, let's drink this bar together"

At this time, the white powder from Zi Linglong's fingernails was thrown into the wine glass, quietly and lightly, and the movements were so subtle that no one noticed.

Three people toast and drink

Concubine Chen looked at Zi Linglong with a smile all over her face after drinking, her inner monologue

"Huh, this wine contains an exclusive secret laxative. If you don't kill yourself, you can torture you for three days. Let's see how you can seduce the officials."

Zi Linglong put down the wine glass after drinking, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and asked

"Sister, why is there some bitterness in this wine?"

Concubine Chen knew that Zi Linglong would ask such a question, so she replied:

"This kind of wine is a bit bitter at the beginning, but it will be fine when you get used to it. This is called bitterness before sweetness."

Princess Yongping looked at Concubine Chen with her wine glass and asked

"Then why is this princess' cup not bitter?"

Concubine Chen's complexion changed and she looked at Yongping, adapting to the situation and smiling.

"I said it's because the princess is used to drinking."

Princess Yongping sniffed the wine glass again, "No, this is the first time this princess drinks this kind of wine."

Concubine Chen rolled her eyes, she didn't bother to pay attention to Princess Yongping, she only looked at Zi Linglong

Zi Linglong looked at Concubine Chen, with a pained expression gradually showing on her face, she covered her throat, and pointed at Concubine Chen

"It's so spicy, you, are you poisoning the wine?"

After speaking, the Zi Linglong wine glass was thrown away, and a mouthful of blood was sprayed on the table

Concubine Chen was frightened by this, and anxiously looked at Tianxing, pointing at Zi Linglong

"Hey, what's going on here? Why is she vomiting blood?"

Tianxing was so frightened that he knelt on the ground

"She... she vomits blood... I don't know this servant!"

Concubine Chen scolded fiercely

"You don't know the one on the left and the one on the right, what use does this palace want you for?" She stood up anxiously, kicked Tian Xing, and paced back and forth anxiously

"This is how to do ah!"

Seeing this, Princess Yongping hurried to support Zi Linglong, and shouted anxiously

"Sister Linglong, are you okay? (To the maid with the scar on her face) Hurry up and call the imperial physician."

At this time, Zi Linglong had been poisoned and passed out.

Princess Yongping shouted, pointing at Concubine Chen

"Come here! Arrest this bitch for this princess, how dare you poison him!"

Enter the two eunuchs, one on the left and one on the right to subdue Concubine Chen

Concubine Chen was escorted by the eunuch and shouted

"Let go of me, let go of me!"

She was eager to clarify to Princess Yongping

"Princess! Princess! I didn't do it! I really didn't do it!"

Princess Yongping pointed at Concubine Chen and scolded

"You still dare to howl! You are so brave, who else but you? Do you think this princess is blind? Drag it on!"

Concubine Chen howled while being dragged

"Wronged! This palace is wronged! Wronged!"

The eunuch dragged Concubine Chen out of the palace, and the imperial physician was led in by a maid

During Zi Linglong's coma, the scene of that day appeared in her mind

After the queen finished talking to her that day, she took out a small paper bag from her sleeve and gave it to her quietly, without saying anything, just saying something to her.

"You can use it yourself"

Zi Linglong knew that this was the queen's will for her, and she could not refuse it, nor could she tell the emperor, because no one would believe her

"Forget it... Who else can eat this besides me... Anyway..."

She lowered her eyes, took this bag of things, and even forgot how she got out of the Hall of Renming. To Zi Linglong, she didn't belong to the palace at all, so it's nothing to disappear in this palace, but she still has concerns. people

After a long while, the imperial physician walked out of the gauze tent and bowed his hands to the emperor.

the emperor asked

"Prince doctor, how is Zimei doing now?"

"Your Majesty, Zimei's pulse has calmed down, it may be that the toxin has been discharged from the blood, and there is no serious problem."

The emperor looked at Zi Linglong behind the gauze curtain, and continued to ask the imperial physician

"What kind of poison is in her?"

"Hedinghong, there is some residue in the wine glass she drank, and there is also some in the blood she spit out."

The emperor seemed to understand something, his expression was solemn, and his inner monologue

"With Concubine Chen's personality, it's not possible to use such a strong □□ (waves to the imperial doctor) You go down first."

The Imperial Physician

"The servants leave"

The emperor walked into the gauze tent, looked at the awakened Zi Linglong and Princess Yongping sitting beside her

He embraced Zi Linglong

"Beauty, I have wronged you, how do you feel?"

Zi Linglong's lips turned white, and said weakly

"Thanks to the officials for their concern, the concubine feels much better"

"I really didn't expect Concubine Chen to be such a vicious woman. You have only been in the palace for a few days, and she is going to harm you."

Princess Yongping tugged the emperor's sleeve

"Father, Concubine Chen is indeed vicious and arrogant, she actually poisoned Aunt Linglong in front of her son and minister"

The emperor couldn't believe it and asked

"Oh? Did you see it? Tell me quickly."

"In the beginning, Aunt Linglong ran into Erchen when she was going, and when she told Erchen that Concubine Chen was having a family banquet, Erchen wondered why the concubine Chen didn't call Erchen. She drank wine during the meal, and Auntie asked why the wine was so bad. Bitter, but Erchen's wine is not bitter at all, Erchen still asked, Chen Fei's face was full of displeasure, Erchen only said a few words, Chen Fei turned away and ignored I'm a son"

The emperor looked at Zi Linglong

"Is this true?"

Zi Linglong nodded weakly

"When the concubine first drank the fruit wine, she was wondering why it was so different from what the officials said. Not only was it not sweet, but it was also bitter, but she didn't care about the emperor. Concubine, how dare she poison the concubine in front of the princess?"

Princess Yongping shook her head

"Aunt Linglong, think about it, if I hadn't gone to Yongping, wouldn't I have poisoned him in front of Yongping? Then even if you died in her palace, if she detains your palace maid, don't say It's my son, I'm afraid even my father doesn't know about it, so I'm not happy when I went to her and it was revealed!"

"What Yongping said makes sense"

Zi Linglong shakes her head

"No, officials, the concubine still thinks that concubine Chen will not harm the concubine like this (cough)"

"Linglong, you just need to rest well, and you don't have to worry about Concubine Chen's affairs, I will investigate clearly."

The emperor slowly placed Zi Linglong on the couch and told her to lie down
