Langya's dream

Chapter 160 [Promotion to Concubine Jing]

"Miss Mei? Miss Mei?"

Jingyan held me in his arms, and I tugged on his collar tightly. Due to too much force, my knuckles gradually turned white; but this still couldn't break down the backflow of blood and toxins in my body, that feeling It's like thousands of ants eating blood and bones, life is worse than death.

I slowly pulled off the wine jug hanging from my waist, but I couldn't uncork the wine several times. Seeing this, Jingyan snatched it and pulled out the cork, then handed it to me.

Without the slightest hesitation, I took the jug and drank it; the poison of this dove wine is so strong that I can feel the tearing pain as soon as I drink it.

"Jingyan, Dao, hurry up!" My voice was so low that I could barely hear it, but he did.

He was taken aback for a moment before realizing that I was asking for a knife, and quickly shouted to the door: "Zhanying, come in with a knife, hurry up!"

When Lie Zhanying heard this, he quickly pushed the door open and entered. He was shocked to see such a scene, and hurriedly handed the dagger on his waist to Jingyan.

Before Jingyan reached out to grab it, I snatched it up. Without a word, I rolled up my sleeves and stabbed my arm. This continuous movement made them have no time to react; and I felt that if I didn't bleed, I would explode.

A few drops of bright red blood splashed onto the lily-of-the-valley, and the white stamens were instantly dyed red and withered; and the original frost-colored sleeves were also rendered red.

"Are you crazy?" Jingyan said angrily, grabbed the knife from my hand and threw it to Lie Zhanying.

And I completely ignored his surprise and anger at the moment, I slowly closed my eyes and felt the blood flow out, my body gradually stopped being hot and cold.

Seeing that I didn't respond, Jingyan picked me up and hurried back to the study, opened a secret passage and sent me to Su's house.

Mei Changsu heard the knock on the door, got up and took the candle holder, walked forward to open the door, saw Jingyan hugging me, and my appearance made Mei Changsu's heart sink.

"Fei Liu, hurry up and call Dr. Yan over; Your Highness, please."

I heard Brother Su's voice, and opened my eyes slightly. At this moment, I am still conscious, although it feels like my soul and body have been separated.

Jingyan put me on the bed, and asked Mei Changsu puzzled, "Mr. Su, why is your sister suddenly like this?"

Mei Changsu took out the heart-protecting pill from his sleeve and put it in my mouth, I swallowed it silently, Mei Changsu raised his hand and replied without changing his expression, "Don't worry, Your Highness, this is Qing'er's." old disease."

"Old disease?"

As soon as Jingyan finished speaking, he heard the voices of Fei Liu and Doctor Yan outside.

"Quick, sister Qing, blood."

"I see, oh, shoes, oh, don't push them."

"quick!"

Dr. Yan was almost called over by Fei Liu who pushed and pulled him.

Seeing that Dr. Yan was coming, Mei Changsu took the initiative to make way for the vacant seat; Dr. Yan glared at Mei Changsu, opened the medicine box, took out silver needles and medicinal powder, and began to treat.

"Thank you Your Highness for sending the little girl back, and trouble Your Highness to take this trip. The little girl will be fine. Don't worry, Your Highness. It's getting late. Your Highness just returned to Beijing today, so it's time to go back and rest." Mei Chang In and out of Su dialect, it feels like seeing off guests.

Jingyan didn't think it was wrong, after all, the girl's home was undergoing treatment, and Yu Li said that it was really inconvenient for him to be here. After thinking about it, Jingyan nodded, and returned to Prince Jing's mansion with a little thought.

"Your Highness, how is Miss Mei?" Lie Zhanying waited at the entrance of the secret passage in the study, and when she saw Jingyan come out, she stepped forward and asked.

Jingyan sat down at the table, pondered and said, "I always feel that I can't tell, this Mei Changsu, I feel more and more that he knows Brother Qi, but whenever I ask him, the answer he gives is He is always so reasonable; he said that he has a cough, which is an old disease, but you have seen Mei Yuanqing's condition today, it is not like an ordinary illness; since both of them have old diseases, why did they come to Jinling The city seeks power? Is money, status and power more important than life?"

He said so much, Lie Zhanying naturally didn't understand all of it.

"Zhanying, tomorrow you go to find the best doctor in the city, and you must do so quietly."

"My subordinates know."

(second day)

The bright sunlight came in through the windows, warming the room. To be honest, this toxic attack was not as uncomfortable as the previous two.

Dr. Yan withdrew his hand to check the pulse, and said solemnly: "Fortunately, you drank dove wine this time, and you are fighting poison with poison. Although the toxicity will increase, if you do bloodletting once a month, you should do it twice. It's time to go back to the west; well, you should rest more."

I smiled respectfully at Dr. Yan, thanked him, and asked Shi You to send him out. Yesterday, the poison broke out and tossed the people in the Su residence until midnight, and then moved from Brother Su’s room to mine. I'm really sorry for making everyone worry.

If it weren't for my carelessness, how could someone steal the pills, alas.

I leaned against the bed and straightened my sleeves. I wanted to read a book, but my mind and heart were in a mess and I couldn't read it. I simply got up and took out my pen and ink, and wrote a letter to my eldest brother.

The matter of the Nanchu leather goods dealer has been settled here, and the mission will arrive before Jingrui's birthday, but I don't know when the eldest brother will come; as for Jingrui, he is the one person I feel sorry for the most , To open this wound, I am also extremely reluctant in my heart, but there is no way, after all, Xie Yu has so many lives in his hands, he must pay back.

After the letter was tied up, I let go of the pigeons. The weather at the end of March in the lunar calendar is the most comfortable weather, with a sunny day; I looked at the green grass and trees outside, and remembered what happened at Prince Jing’s mansion last night, although it was poisonous The suddenness is beyond my control, but it is not irreversible, and the reasons are prepared.

(Third day of April, Jinling City, Imperial Palace, Zhiluo Palace)

"I pay my respects to Concubine Mother." Jingyan stood at the gate of Zhiluo Palace and said to Concubine Jing.

Concubine Jing smiled tenderly, and said hastily, "Xiaoxin, hurry up and get the hazelnut crispy horseshoe cake and the golden silk honey soup."

"The servants came to pay their respects to the concubine mother, so that the concubine mother has worked hard; since the concubine was promoted to the imperial concubine, is everything okay?" Jingyan asked.

Concubine Jing sat down leisurely, picked up a silver spoon and filled a bowl of gold silk honey soup, handed it to Jingyan, and replied flatly: "It's not that I just entered the palace, I just got promoted to the concubine's position, there are some things I can handle Come; it's just that you can't enter the palace often, and the mother cooks more food for the child, so there is no such thing as hard work."

Jingyan smiled and nodded, took a sip of the soup, the fragrance of kumquats mixed with the sweetness of honey, it was really delicious, but his eyes stopped on a pastry.

Jingyan put down the bowl, took a bite of the pastry, and said with a slightly lost expression, "I remember that this horseshoe crispy paste cake is one of Brother Qi's favorite pastries. Every time I go to Prince Qi's mansion, Brother Qi always It's just nagging, when I go to the palace to pay my respects, I will bring him with me, he will come to eat the concubine's pastry."

As he said that, Jingyan's eyes gradually turned red; Concubine Jing sighed softly, "It's been so many years, everything in the world has changed, the only thing that remains the same is this horseshoe cake; Jingyan, you have to learn to move forward Look." Concubine Jing taught, in fact, she herself felt uncomfortable, since Concubine Chen left, she was alone in the deep palace, and these cakes and herbs were what accompanied her every day.

Jingyan came back to his senses and responded, seeming to have remembered something, and asked Concubine Jing, "Concubine Mother, I have something unclear and would like to ask Mother."

"You said."

"Mr. Su's younger sister came to my residence some time ago, but when she was talking, she suddenly turned pale and cut her own arm with a knife. Afterwards, I found many doctors, and they all said it was poisoning, but I didn't know what kind of poison it was. But I know, I don't know why a sister of a quack counselor is poisoned, so why did she come to Beijing to seek advice? I think that my mother and concubine have been studying medicine all the year round, so I should know a thing or two." After finishing speaking, Jingyan held it in his arms. Take out an orchid of the valley and give it to Concubine Jing.

He continued: "When her blood splashed on the flower that day, the flower withered instantly. I wonder what kind of poison caused this?"

Concubine Jing took the lily-of-the-valley flower, showed that she had smelled it, and ordered the maidservant to bring a bowl of clear water, and put the bloody petals into the clear water. After a stick of incense, the dry blood melted into the water.

Concubine Jing took the silver needle, and the silver needle immediately turned black, which shows that the toxicity is not small.

"This poisonous mother is not sure yet, but you can't doubt Mr. Su's loyalty to you because of Mr. Su's sister. Since he chose you, he must have his own ideas."

"Yes, Erchen knows."

Concubine Jing nodded slightly, handed the bowl of blood to the maid, and turned to Jingyan and said, "Mother needs to study carefully before she can be sure, so don't worry, Mother will let you know the answer."
