The prince is very fierce

Chapter 22: Exquisite Craftsmanship

In the streets of Chang'an City, all eyes were on Zhu Liu, who had just appeared out of nowhere. Compared with Qing Kui, who appeared last month, the heat had been completely suppressed.

However, no matter how big the affairs of the martial arts world were, they were trivial matters for the kings, princes, generals and ministers.

As the night fell quietly, the peach blossom forest in the Imperial College gradually withered, and the petals fell in the courtyard, and were blown by the gradually warm night wind and piled up under the courtyard wall.

Song Yu sat alone in the teahouse, and the original teapot was replaced with a wine pot. He tilted his head to look at the sky, and his expression was slightly gloomy.

Squeak

The courtyard door opened, and Liu Yunlin, who was in disguise, entered the courtyard carrying a bamboo basket. He put down two baskets of rice paper outside the teahouse and stepped forward to pay a respectful salute:

"Your Majesty, things seem to have taken a turn for the better. Today, the spies in Furong Temple saw Xu Buling coming out from the back mountain where he was recuperating. Although he was leaning on a cane, his complexion and demeanor were relatively good. His injuries should have recovered a lot..."

Song Yu put down the wine pot, shook his head and smiled softly: "Buling was originally a person favored by heaven, how could he become a useless person so easily... It's good that he has recovered, and the plan has finally been successful."

Liu Yunlin frowned and thought: "According to the imperial physician, the dragon-locking poison has already taken effect. Although it has not entered the heart and lungs, it is difficult for him to stand up. It's very difficult...Xu Buling can actually recover to walk in just over 20 days. His physique is too strong..."

Song Yu frowned and thought for a moment: "It's useless to just recover physically. I don't know how much martial arts have recovered... Let's find a way to test the depth."

"Yes!"

Liu Yunlin thought for a while: "Even if his martial arts have recovered a little, it's impossible to be as strong as before the Taiji Palace. It will take at least half a year to recover from the broken bones. Should we continue to walk according to the prince's plan?"

Song Yu took a sip of the wine pot and thought for a while: "Over time, there will inevitably be complications...Give him some time to recover, get ready first, and start immediately after he is sure to recover."

Liu Yunlin nodded, said no more, and retreated silently... ——

Under the same full moon, at the foot of Yufeng Mountain ten years away, the Summer Resort lit palace lanterns, and the maids and guards sent from Chang'an City walked around in the resort. Although there were many people serving the empress dowager's food and daily life, the huge Summer Resort also seemed sparse.

The silver moon was reflected in the lake, and a few lotus flowers were blooming under the terrace. A little light was on in the window near the lake. The window was half open, revealing the beautiful side face of a woman. The golden hairpin flashed a few points of light under the dim light and moonlight.

In the large bedroom facing the lake, there were screens, soft couches, teapots, chessboards, piano tables, etc., which made the room look simple and elegant.

The queen mother was wearing a red dress. Because she had just bathed, her clothes were half open and not closed, revealing the red lotus carp hidden inside. Her face was chubby, and her long eyelashes trembled with her blinks. From time to time, she muttered to herself:

"This thing is so weird..."

On the table against the wall, a piece of rice paper was pressed down by a paperweight, and on it was painted with a brush a planed "egg"-shaped object. It was actually not much different from the architectural and mechanical drawings of this world, but the shape was very weird. There were gears, springs, etc. inside, which looked a bit complicated.

Next to the rice paper were files, gold wires, twisters, etc., as well as pure gold eggshells and gear embryos cast by the palace jewelers. Next to the candle lamp stood a wooden figure, who had long finished eating the candied haws in his hand, and now replaced them with the empress dowager's earrings, bracelets and other items, hanging on it, and looked a little funny with all the jewels.

The empress dowager took a small file and carefully polished the small pure gold gear in her hand, looking at the drawings from time to time, and then continued to work.

The Huainan Xiao family has been famous for its diverse learning since ancient times, and has been involved in Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism, Legalism, etc., and is unique in its research on various exquisite objects. Many of the famous buildings, dams, bridges, and even the eight-ox crossbow, siege vehicles, armor, etc. in the Central Plains are the work of the ancestors of the Xiao family.

The Queen Mother is the legitimate daughter of the Xiao family. She used to be exposed to these strange things at home. When she came to the palace, she had nothing to do all day, so she put all her thoughts on these things. After ten years, she would definitely be a jeweler with her little skills.

The drawings given by Xu Buling were just rough ideas. The details were the attention of the Queen Mother to the staff. The general meaning was: there was a small spring inside the hollow egg, connected to the cam. The spring stored power to drive the cam to rotate. Because of the unstable center of gravity, the egg would jump. The principle is similar to the vibration of modern mobile phones.

The night was long, and the Queen Mother might have been thinking too long and her eyes were a little tired, so she stretched and tilted her head to look at the light on the mountain in the distance.

Calculating the days, it seems that I can go to Furong Temple tomorrow...

The Queen Mother stretched slightly stiff, and her legs softened involuntarily, and she was actually a little afraid.

It's not that I'm afraid of Xu Buling, but Xu Buling plows the field at night... like an ox...

The queen mother felt a little annoyed when she thought about it. Although she was helping Xu Buling to detoxify, and he committed suicide to apologize after the detoxification, she could barely suppress the hurdle in her heart. But she was a woman after all, and she didn't know martial arts, and her body couldn't withstand the torment of women who practiced martial arts since childhood. It was naturally a bit too much for her to be messed with by Xu Buling. Every time she came back from Furong Temple, she had to lie down for a day to recover. She was floating when she walked, and Qiao'e thought she was sick...

"This evil creature..."

The queen mother's eyes showed some anger and dissatisfaction. She always felt that Xu Buling was not simply detoxifying, but was still using her kindness to vent some unspeakable things. But she was in a weak position in this matter, and she couldn't kick Xu Buling out...

After a while of sulking, the Queen Mother took the mahogany sign from the little man on the table and looked at the words on it: Right and Right, her face showed a bit of worry.

It took so long to get only thirteen times, when will it get a hundred times...

But the sufferings of these thirteen times alone made her a little bit overwhelmed, and she couldn't urge Xu Buling to hurry up...

In a state of confusion, the Queen Mother sighed, folded her arms and walked back and forth in the room, her face as serious and upright as always, treating this as a serious matter of saving lives and healing the wounded, but she couldn't help thinking about going up the mountain tomorrow.

By then, I'm afraid I will suffer again, that evil creature...

The moonlight shone faintly in the villa.

Xu Buling silently climbed over the wall of the summer resort, without alarming the guards lurking everywhere, and quickly moved towards the lakeside where the Queen Mother slept.

At first, he approached the Queen Mother with the purpose of detoxification, but Xu Buling was not a ruthless person who was full of utilitarianism. Now that he had recovered 20% to 30%, he was no longer so anxious. The main thing was to cultivate feelings with the Queen Mother under the moonlight.

Tonight, I came here specially wearing the black embroidered gold-edged robe that Aunt Lu had just sewn by hand. I tied my hair up and pinned it with a jade hairpin. I dressed simply, elegantly and cleanly. I also bought a candied haws from the market at the foot of the mountain. I was quite well prepared.

Passing through the corridor by the lake, I gradually came to the outside of the lighted room.

Xu Buling listened attentively. Now that his martial arts had recovered 30%, his hearing perception naturally recovered at the same time. After confirming that there was only one breathing sound in the room, he climbed in through the half-open window.

In March, the room was neither cold nor hot. There was a small light on the table, but there was no figure in front of the table.

Xu Buling walked softly through the outer room and glanced. The things on the table had not been put away. They should have just been tossed halfway. Fearing that the Queen Mother's hard work would be ruined, Xu Buling did not touch the golden eggshell on the table. He just took a look and nodded with satisfaction. Then he turned around and walked to the soft couch following the sound of breathing, leaned over to take a look, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

On the carved soft couch next to the tea table for people to lie on their sides, the Queen Mother's skirt was half-undone, revealing the lotus carp that was a little tight, and the two carp were trembling slightly. Her hand was stuffed under the lotus carp, and the other hand was even more unruly. Her feet were slightly bent and tangled together, and the whole person rubbed against the soft couch like a caterpillar.

"Woo~..."

The breath was as sweet as orchid.

There were beads of sweat on her slightly red cheeks. Because she was born to sweat more, her body was also watery and shiny, and she looked a little delicious under the dim light...
