Millennium drunk

Not only Lan Zui, but other people also began to slump around the place.There was an endless stream of gurgling sounds, and the people who fell close piled up in a pile, looking at each other with puzzled and surprised expressions.

"There is something wrong with the fragrance in the fire!"

Someone in the crowd said this sentence, and the rest of them were immediately enlightened.Wuxiang Ruanjinsan and Mixiang have only been seen in martial arts novels and TV dramas, so no one thought about it when they first smelled the fragrance. Now it is a good proof that novels come from life. But this is no longer the focus of attention.

"I didn't expect to come prepared this time, but I still fell!" Yu Chen lay on the ground, annoyed.

For two or three minutes, only Jun Yihuang was left standing.Looking at the expressions of everyone lying on the ground, Jun Yihuang vaguely guessed what happened.But she can block the invisible fire with Yin power, but she has nothing to do with this invisible fragrance.

"Lan Zui? Can't you stand up at all?" Jun Yihuang squatted beside Lan Zui worriedly and asked.

Lan Zui shook his head in pain.Now she felt that even a simple movement like shaking her head required her whole body to do it, let alone stand up and walk around.

"Little girl, the fragrance is useless to you? Then you go up and ask the guys above to save us!"

Seeing that only Jun Yihuang was not affected by the fragrance, Wang Fugui didn't care about Jun Yihuang's weirdness, so he hurriedly asked her for help.

"Junjun can't go!"

"No."

Unanimously, Lan Zui and Jun Yihuang refused at the same time.

"Why?! Everyone is like this, Lan Zui, if you don't let her go up, do you want us all to live here waiting to die?"

Yuchen, Wang Fugui and Montaigne and the others saw Jun Yihuang Lanzui's refusal, and immediately yelled and questioned.

Jun Yihuang turned her head to the side and did not answer, Lan Zui snorted: "If you can't, you can't, there is no reason."

"Damn it!" Seeing this, Yu Chen cursed and turned to ask the others: "Who else can hold on? Go up and ask for help!"

Everyone expressed that they were powerless and could only climb one or two steps at most. Even if they managed to climb across the rope bridge to the other end, it was impossible to drag the rope up the steep robbery hole.

Moreover, the burglary hole is not completely vertical, and there are several folds in the middle. No matter whether you use signal flares or light for help, it is completely impossible to send out the distress signal.

After talking about it, everyone's heart was ashamed, and they all fell on the ground dejectedly, without saying a word.

"Maybe the function of this fragrance is only to make people unable to move, so they can only stay in place and be burned alive by the fire. But now that the source of the fire has been sealed in the copper door by us, then this danger is gone. If the fragrance contains Poisonous, it’s been so long, how can we still talk and still move a little bit? There are ventilation holes in the burrows dug by Mr. Mu. You can see that we didn’t smell any scent at all when we came in, but old man Chen obviously came in before. , that means that the smell will dissipate in a short time, and the effect of the medicine on our bodies will dissipate in a short time, and nothing will happen." Seeing that everyone has no fighting spirit, Uncle Zhong thought about it and comforted him .There is some truth in what he said, although none of the people present were fools, and felt that the tomb repairers spent a lot of time mixing poison in the fire just to immobilize the tomb robbers, so they could only reluctantly agree, let's talk .

Time passed by every minute and every second, and it was indeed calm.During this period of time, Lan Zui didn't have a good rest, coupled with the hard work of climbing up and down and mental fatigue, just lying on the ground like this, Lan Zui vaguely felt that he was starting to feel sleepy.

Regarding Uncle Zhong's argument, Lan Zui neither agreed nor objected.She vaguely guessed the ingredients in the fragrance: Xuan Gexiang and Junyingcao.Looking at it now, the source of Zhu Yuan's and Mu Ye's poisoning was not only a small amount of smell mixed in the sand, but also the fact that the medicine in the liquid evaporated after the fire broke out and was inhaled by people.

If this is the case, Lan Zui roughly guessed what will happen next.Both Zhu Yuan and Mu Ye had severe hallucinations after being poisoned, and the same future is waiting for them.I only hope that the medicine brought by Yuchen this time can really resist the influence of Xuan Gexiang and Junyingcao, and wait until the dilution of the medicine in the air dissipates, and they will slowly recover their ability to move.

Looking at this scene, Jun Yihuang could only stand and worry, unable to do anything.She couldn't stay away from Lan Zui, nor could she undo the effects of the drug, so she could only stay by Lan Zui's side and wait for everything to happen.

Lan Zui didn't know when she fell asleep.

Everything in the dream is sometimes blurred and sometimes clear.She knew that she dreamed of Su Lingyu again.

Su Lingyu was caught among the many beauties, and was attracted by the palace people. Just like at the time of the draft, she entered a palace one by one, knelt down, bowed, greeted her, and listened to the words of the people who had just entered the palace to serve the emperor. Newcomers are taught strictly.

The content of the teaching was long and boring, Su Lingyu listened with her head down, and sang in unison with other women at the end: "I would like to follow the teaching." women around her.

There are beauties of all colors, thin and fat, or gorgeous, or soft, or the ladylike demeanor, the clothes with flowers and flowers, or the feelings of Xiaojiabiyu, simple and soft dress.

There is only one thing in common, this Nantang harem is the end of their future lives.

The words of instruction were still coming from the front without haste, Su Lingyu sighed slightly in her heart.She knew that the queen's phoenix body was against harmony, and the person who replaced the queen to teach and reprimand the newcomers to the palace today was the master of Yufeng Palace who was rumored to be full of wind and rain, and the concubine Shu who assisted the queen in managing the affairs of the sixth palace, her maiden name was Jun, The name is Yihuang.

The voice is not as graceful as I imagined, nor is it full of charm. It is calm, calm, graceful, and stern, with a bit of the imposing manner of the palace.

After Su Lingyu arrived, she was really curious. She thought that there were so many participants in today's court ceremony, so they probably wouldn't pay attention to her who was hidden among the people.After all, she was only a teenage girl, she endured and endured, and finally raised her head slightly, and secretly looked at the legendary woman sitting in front of her.

Sitting in the middle is the empress of the current Nanzhao Emperor. The empress is sitting upright, her face is delicately made up, and she is trying her best to maintain the demeanor and expression that an empress should have.But Su Lingyu could still see the haggardness behind that dignified smile.

On the left side of the queen's seat, there is another seat diagonally.The seat was the woman she was curious about.Today, the woman is wearing a rose-red concubine court dress, her hair is combed in a shocking bun, and her head is full of emerald beads, showing her noble status.But even the exquisitely crafted and colorful ornaments on her head can't compare to her gorgeous face like a flower.With sculpted eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a well-groomed nose and jade cheeks, there was a slight smile on the delicate and charming face at this moment, but his eyes were like knives, with a domineering momentum, and he went straight to the boring teaching content.

At first glance, this Concubine Shu, who is in the concubine position, is almost superior to the Empress of the Central Palace next to her in terms of momentum.

It has nothing to do with the gorgeous face, just the soul-killing sternness of Concubine Shu has a kind of dazzling beauty, making it hard for people to move their eyes away when they see it.

Qin Caifeng once said that Emperor Nanzhao liked soft and obedient women, so in Su Lingyu's guess, this Concubine Shu, who can rank first in a quarter, should also be slender and weak, so that Emperor Nanzhao's eyes can be favored. Plus, I never thought it would be so gorgeous, so I couldn't help being dazed for a moment.

The woman sitting upright seemed to be aware of Su Lingyu's peeping gaze, she lowered her eyes and glanced around, meeting Su Lingyu's slightly raised eyebrows.Su Lingyu was startled, it was too late to dodge.She is only a lady of the seventh rank, so looking directly at a concubine of the highest rank is a violation of the rules, let alone being inattentive when listening to the teachings at the court meeting, any one of them is enough to send her into the Qingping Pavilion to think about her mistakes, and even demote her as a maid.Although she didn't intend to compete for favor in the harem, she also didn't want to be humiliated if she entered the harem, Rurui felt in her heart, but she saw that fierce woman just frowned, squinted at her, and then withdrew her gaze as if nothing had happened.

Su Lingyu escaped, and quickly lowered her head.She was sure Concubine Shu must have noticed her peeping, but she didn't understand why she let her offend go.At this moment, Su Lingyu only felt that the heart in her chest was beating wildly, as if it was not her own, but she became more and more curious about this seemingly stern concubine Shu.

"From now on, I must strictly abide by the palace rules, serve His Majesty with all my heart, and follow the teachings of the Empress and Empress, and dare not forget. I wish the Empress good health, a thousand years of life, and my Empress good luck."

Singing in unison again, kneeling down, getting up, Su Lingyu inadvertently made eye contact with the superior concubine Shu again when she left sideways, and for a fleeting moment, what Su Lingyu saw in those phoenix eyes was not arrogant and calculating , but as calm as an ancient well without waves and humps, and there is a little loneliness hidden in it.

"Hmm." The chill in the morning penetrated into the soles of his feet through the quilt covering his body, Su Lingyu woke up from the cold wind, opened his eyes uncomfortably, and couldn't help coughing lightly twice.

"Miss, you're awake. The servant has boiled ginger soup. While it's still hot, why don't you drink some to warm your body before going to sleep?"

Qingxiao heard the movement, and hurried around the screen, helped Su Lingyu up, and took a soft pillow for her to put on her waist.

"Cough, are the windows open? Why is it so cold." Su Lingyu leaned on the soft pillow, still sleepy.She has been ill for a long time, and has been coughing for a long time.Sickness hurts the body the most, and now the oval face that was slightly round when entering the palace now shows a sharp chin, a small face with miserable protein, it makes people feel distressed just looking at it.

"It's closed. It's just that it's been cold in the past few days, and it's so cold. I think the servant girl brought ginger soup in and brought in the cold wind, which froze the lady. Please forgive me."

"It's just you and me here, so there's no need to talk about these nonsense." Su Lingyu closed her eyes. It has been more than half a year since the court ceremony.Today, I don't know why, but I dreamed about the scene and people at that time again, everything is vivid in my mind, as if it was yesterday.

Qingxiao didn't know that Su Lingyu had a dream, and seeing that Su Lingyu was coughing uncomfortably, she quickly blew a spoonful of ginger soup and brought it to her mouth: "My lady, drink a few sips to warm up while it's hot, I can't bear to freeze your body any more."

"You boiled it yourself?" Su Lingyu didn't open her mouth, looking at the steaming brown soup in front of her, she couldn't tell if she was happy or angry.

"Yes."

"Oh." Su Lingyu opened her lips and drank the ginger soup into her throat.

The warm ginger soup had a hint of pungentness, which made her cough again.On the contrary, the pungentness flowed down the throat, and the whole body was immediately warmed up, and the chill that had just been woken up from the cold seemed to fade away.

"Where's cute?"

"Keren and Xuan Rong invited the imperial physician for my wife."

Xuan Rong is Fu Liuying's personal maidservant who lives in the Xinuan Pavilion. In the past, after the court meeting, she gave gifts to the favored concubine Jinggui. Now she has been favored by the Nanzhao Emperor several times, and has been named a nobleman of the sixth rank.

On the other hand, Su Lingyu has neither the feeling of accepting the ceremony nor the act of flattering the emperor. There are so many family members and daughter-in-laws who have recently entered the palace, so they are naturally buried in the dust.She has not been summoned by the emperor for a few months after entering the palace, the palace is used to respecting the high and trampling the low, so the Inner Supervisor's Office will no longer treat her favorably.First, Su Lingyu's aunt Qinxin was dismissed due to too many new concubines and insufficient manpower. Gradually, the daily supplies were also neglected, leaving only a little maid, Keren, and Qingxiao, who accompanied Su Lingyu into the palace, to clean up the mess. things.During the past few days when Su Lingyu was ill, he sent people to the imperial hospital several times to ask for the imperial physician, but all he said was that the imperial physician was busy and came as soon as possible.It was obvious that Fu Liuying couldn't see it anymore, so she asked Xuan Rong, the personal servant, to accompany Keren to invite her again.

Speaking of which, if it weren't for Fu Liuying's constant help, Su Lingyu's life would have been even more difficult.

"By the way, lady, the master has a letter for you, and it was sent from Yanfang just now."

After feeding Su Lingyu and drinking half a bowl of ginger soup, Qingxiao remembered the letter in her sleeve, and quickly took it out and handed it to Su Lingyu.

The envelope was already crumpled, and I don't know how long it was pressed.Su Lingyu pursed her lips slightly, opened the envelope and unfolded the letter. It was the handwriting of Su's father whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

Letters between concubines and their families, unless they are amnesties, must be inspected by Yanfang to prevent the former court from colluding with each other to disrupt the court.Therefore, the content of the letter is nothing more than words to explain that the parents are in good health and the family life is smooth, asking Su Lingyu to abide by herself in the palace and serve the emperor well.In the last few pens, Su's father repeatedly told Su Lingyu to make friends with other concubines, but he thought too much of himself, and his words were harsh, reminiscent of old court training.

The corners of Su Lingyu's lips became tighter and tighter. She understood that what Su's father meant was to let her cling more to the favored concubines so that she could gain the emperor's favor as soon as possible.After all, Su's father took great pains when he sent her into the palace, and entrusted Qin Caifeng, who is the queen mother's close female official, to take care of her in the palace.Unexpectedly, the daughter with high expectations entered the palace for more than half a year, but there was no news and never was lucky enough to be visited by the Nanzhao Emperor. This was a huge blow to Su's father. He was afraid that he would lose face in front of other colleagues. I can't hold my head up at all.

"Miss..."

Qingxiao cautiously stood beside the bed to check Su Lingyu's expression, wanted to comfort her but was at a loss for words.

"Qingxiao, do you think I did something wrong?"

Su Lingyu carefully folded the letter paper and put it in the envelope, and said suddenly after being silent for a while.

"My lady, as long as she lives comfortably." Qingxiao replied in a low voice.

"If I continue like this, life will only become more and more difficult with me. Sister Fu is kind-hearted, but she can't take care of me for the rest of her life." Su Lingyu sighed for a while, and then said: "Qingxiao, I really don't want to be with them I just want to live my life in peace, why is it so difficult?"

The expression on Su Lingyu's face seemed to be a smile but not a smile, but it was more sad than crying.Qingxiao felt uncomfortable looking at it, ignoring the etiquette and rules in the palace, reached out to hold Su Lingyu's cold hands: "Miss, no matter what, Qinghao will always follow the lady to take care of the lady."

"Qingxiao..."

"If it wasn't for the lady, Qinghao's life would have been gone long ago. The lady can just live the life she wants in peace, and Qinghao will never let the lady be cold and hungry."

Qingxiao speaks faithfully, and her beautiful face is full of determination.Su Lingyu looked at her with a wry smile on his lips.

She believes that Qingxiao will do what she says.Having said that, even if she is a person of status, she has to look at everyone's faces, what can a little maidservant do in the palace?

Just in time, a pleasant voice sounded outside the door: "My lady, the imperial doctor is here."

What Su Lingyu suffers from is just the wind and cold, but it has been dragging on for a long time.The imperial doctor came and prescribed Guomai medicine, and Su Lingyu's cough stopped after ten days.It was a rare day when the sun was out outside the house, so Fu Liuying came to ask Su Lingyu to go out for a walk.

The early spring sunshine didn't give any obvious warmth to her body. Su Lingyu hadn't fully recovered yet, so she was extremely afraid of the cold, so she couldn't help tightening the cloak on her body.

"Sister, come out and move around more when you are well. Look, the winter is over, and the grass and flowers are fragrant outside, so don't stay in the house all the time. After being sick, your complexion is not good."

Su Lingyu answered with a smile, but didn't answer much.

Fu Liuying scrutinized Su Lingyu's expression, lingered on the tip of her tongue a few times, and said, "Sister, don't think I'm annoying either. Tell my sister the truth, do you really want to... serve the bed?"

Although after this period of time Su Lingyu and Fu Liuying got closer, and knew that Fu Liuying was a kind-hearted woman, but she couldn't answer her words.

So Su Lingyu just continued to laugh, Rou Rou looked at Fu Liuying.

Fu Liuying mistakenly thought that Su Lingyu's smile was shyness, so she smiled too, and said: "This is just a hurdle that every woman has to go through, so there is nothing to be afraid of. My concubine Jinggui is very kind, with a soft temper. Generally speaking, it is somewhat similar to you. If you want, I will take you to Jinggui Concubine tomorrow. Let's not ask for much favor, at least make our life easier and don't suffer from others in the palace .”

"Sister, let me think about it."

Fu Liuying's words hit Su Lingyu's heart right.The family members who entered the palace were not allowed to be recruited for two years, so they would lose their status and be sent to Guiyuan Lane to participate in the study and selection of female officials in the palace.This was originally Su Lingyu's plan in the early days of entering the palace, but after she entered the palace, she observed secretly, and found that the concubines whose status had been degraded were extremely bullied in Guiyuan Lane, and few of them survived to be selected as female officials. Therefore, there are often news in Guiyuan Lane that the degraded concubine committed suicide due to the humiliation.She asked herself, if she were herself, would she really be able to endure those insults?What is the difference between the intrigue among concubines and the intrigue in Guiyuan Lane?

Her original persistence seemed meaningless in this harem.

If so, why continue to wrong yourself?

It was night, and Su Lingyu was sitting by the window, staring at the flickering candlelight, chewing over and over again the phrase Qin Caifeng left her, "The more water is like water, the most traceless".

According to her initial understanding, she only needs to be careful of people with water in her name, that is to say, avoid Concubine Shu, Yuan Xiurong and Concubine Xin.

But what Fu Liuying said today made her think differently.

Fu Liuying described Concubine Jing's temper as "soft as water, somewhat similar to herself".

Concubine Jinggui has no heirs, but she is able to remain in favor forever. This is not unrelated to Concubine Jinggui's family background, but it should be more of Concubine Jinggui's means.As for what kind of person he is, Su Lingyu is even more aware that although he doesn't want to fight, when he has to, he can definitely be more ruthless than most people in the palace.

It was that concubine Shu... It was rumored outside that she was determined not to give in to a man, but Su Lingyu felt that she might be more reliable than that concubine Jing Gui who was similar to him.

It's just that Concubine Shu and Concubine Jing each occupy a seat in the palace, if they pay gifts to Concubine Shu, they will have to distance themselves from Fu Liuying in the future.Su Lingyu wants to cherish this woman who has known her for more than half a year and does not treat her coldly just because she is not favored.

Suddenly there were two loud bangs outside the window, Su Lingyu was startled and hurriedly opened the window lattice, only to see Qingxiao sitting on the ground and rubbing her head, and the outer robe that was wrapped around her shoulders also fell to the ground.

Qingxiao smiled apologetically at Su Lingyu, her young face showing haggardness and sleepiness.Presumably she was too tired, she dozed off while making medicine for Su Lingyu and fell to the ground.

But even if he still stayed by Su Lingyu's side, his attitude was muddled. Qingxiao almost took over all the chores, busy like a spiral, without a moment's rest.

Su Lingyu's nasal cavity was slightly sour, and her fingertips tightened, she had already made a decision.

For myself, for the sake of youth, there are some things... I have to do.

The next day, Su Lingyu asked Qingxiao to search out all the things they brought into the palace and list them on the table.

Su's father hoped that Su Lingyu could gain a firm foothold in the palace, so he never treated her harshly.Pearls and precious jades, even though they were not top-notch, still brought her some for her to use to make connections.

Su Lingyu picked out the best of them and packed them in a brocade box, feeling uneasy.

I don't know if that person can look down on these things.

It's just that everything has to be tried.

"Qingxiao, take out my purple-red embroidered dress, and help me dress up properly."

Qingxiao followed her words, but looked at Su Lingyu with doubts.

Su Lingyu didn't explain much, but carefully painted his eyebrows and eyes.After a while, a soft and graceful beauty appeared in the mirror.

"Qingxiao, accompany me to see Concubine Shu." Putting on the last plum blossom hairpin, Su Lingyu looked around in the mirror, thinking she was well dressed, so she said to Qingxiao.

"Ah? What is the lady doing at Concubine Shu's place?"

"Congratulations." Su Lingyu smiled faintly, locking all her emotions in her heart.

"But...Didn't Aunt Qin say..."

"I'm afraid that what Aunt Qin refers to is not the person with water in the name, but something else." Su Lingyu paused and said: "If you want to compare the scheming person and the sharp-edged two In the world, I would rather choose the dagger with a shining edge than the needle that will poke me at some point."

Qingxiao is also a smart person, she immediately understood when she heard the words, she nodded and said: "What the lady said is true, but in this way, Fu Guiren..."

"Let's take one step at a time." Su Lingyu weighed the brocade box in his hand and said, "This gift has been delayed for a long time, and it's unknown whether others will accept it or not."
