Naturally, Su Xian would not eat food that was poisoned.
But it cannot be returned intact.
Since the Emperor of Chu was secretly playing dirty tricks, Su Xian took advantage of his plan and turned the sumptuous table of breakfast into leftovers and asked the people in the imperial kitchen to take it away.
When the Emperor of Chu wanted to play, Su Xian accompanied him through two moves.
If time permits, Su Xian also wants to send Yang Zhilan to replace the poisoned food with Emperor Chu.
Isn't he going to slowly cripple other people's legs?
Then let him always have that feeling.
However, Su Xian thought about it carefully and finally gave up on this method because it was time-consuming and labor-intensive and the effect was slow. They were now in the palace, which was a dangerous place after all, so they should save their time and energy for business.
"We haven't had any rest since last night, so we should eat something to fill our stomachs."
Su Xian watched the people in the imperial kitchen go away, and then ordered Zhou Wei to close the door of Yaowang Temple, then looked sideways at Yang Zhilan and said.
"I'm not hungry yet." Yang Zhilan blurted out. Her real thought was that she didn't want to cause trouble to Su Xian.
"Senior brother, I..." Zhou Wei originally wanted to say, "I'm so hungry," but Yang Zhilan already said he wasn't hungry. He hesitated for a moment, touched his stomach, and finally changed his words: "I'm not hungry either!"
"Aren't you hungry?" Su Xian was slightly surprised.
"No, I'm not hungry." Zhou Wei forced a smile.
However, as soon as he finished saying this, his stomach began to growl unsatisfactorily, as if it was beating a drum.
Zhou Wei was startled and hurriedly covered his stomach with both hands and patted it gently, as if he was blaming his stomach for being disobedient. What are you yelling for?
However, how can this sound be stopped?
In the end, Zhou Wei could only scratch his head and look at Su Xian with a naive smile.
Su Xian held his forehead, looked at Yang Zhilan, and ordered:
"But I'm already hungry. As the saying goes, people are like iron rice and steel. If you don't eat one meal, you will feel hungry. Only when you are full can you seize the fleeting opportunity."
"Zhilan, please go there yourself, bring back some food, and be careful to avoid the crowd."
Yang Zhilan didn't have any objections or expression. After saying "yes", she lightly jumped up to the eaves and disappeared.
Not long after, Yang Zhilan returned safely.
Bring back enough food for three people.
After eating and drinking, the sky gradually became brighter.
A red sun rises from the east, and the sun shines on the earth, shining warmly on people. Su Xian and three people are sitting in the empty courtyard to bask in the sun.
Winter winter winter!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the closed door.
"What's the matter?" Zhou Wei asked in a loud voice.
"Mr. Su, please open the door first. This is the eunuch of the Empress Dowager's side, Liu Fuquan." A high-pitched voice came from outside the door.
The eunuch beside the Queen Mother?
Su Xian, Yang Zhilan and Zhou Wei looked at each other.
The Emperor of Chu "invited" them to the palace for the apparent reason of treating the Queen Mother's illness.
This morning, Emperor Chu secretly poked at the poisoning, which made Su Xian understand that Emperor Chu's real purpose was actually his Nine Needles to Return Yang.
But I didn't expect that someone from the Queen Mother's side would actually come.
Could it be that the consequences of being too much are really sick?
"It turns out to be Eunuch Liu, please come in."
Su Xian ordered Zhou Wei to open the door, and saw an old eunuch in his fifties or sixties standing there, smiling and holding a huge whisk in his arms.
"Mr. Su." Liu Fuquan saluted politely and declined with a smile:
"Time is pressing, so the Ye family won't go in. I also ask Mr. Su to clean up quickly and follow the Ye family into the palace to diagnose the Queen Mother's pulse."
Su Xian thought that the Queen Mother was indeed ill.
He did not refuse, bowed his hand to Liu Fuquan, and said:
"There's no need to deal with it. The Queen Mother is in critical condition. Let's go there now. Please lead the way, Eunuch Liu."
"Thank you, Mr. Su." Liu Fuquan was very grateful, but he turned to look at Yang Zhilan and Zhou Wei, frowned and said, "It's just these two..."
"has a problem?"
Su Xian frowned. If he was the only one entering the harem to treat the Queen Mother, he would honestly not feel safe.
Besides, what if this was a plan devised by the Emperor of Chu to "drove the tiger away from the mountain", wouldn't it mean that he had been tricked?
Although Su Xian has learned the "Flying Needle" skill, he can still deal with ordinary people. Once he encounters a master in the palace, he will definitely not be able to defeat him.
"Master Su, please don't misunderstand me."
Liu Fuquan smiled, waved his hand, and said politely: "Young master, you should know that the Queen Mother lives in the harem, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter the harem."
As he said that, he looked sideways at Yang Zhilan: "This girl can go with the young master."
Then he looked at Zhou Wei, shook his head and said, "As for this strong man, please stay in the Medicine King Hall for a while."
Su Xian was quite satisfied with this arrangement. At least Yang Zhilan was by his side. After admonishing Zhou Wei, he nodded and agreed: "No problem. Please lead the way, Eunuch Liu."
Liu Fu, who is the queen mother's eunuch Zhang Yin, still has great power in the palace.
With him leading the way, Su Xian, a grown man, entered the harem without any hindrance.
The Forbidden Army soldiers stationed at the harem gate didn't even look at him...
Is this the harem of Emperor Chu?
After entering the harem, Su Xian walked around and looked around secretly.
The environment is really good, with red walls, green tiles, and painted beams, and even the palace maids passing by are extremely beautiful beauties.
The most important thing is that Su Xian smelled a faint scent of powder in the air.
"Master Su was probably still in the Yang Mansion yesterday, right?"
Liu Fuquan, who was walking in front, suddenly spoke up.
But the voice was very low, equivalent to a "whisper" between the two.
Su Xian's heart moved and he lowered his voice: "Yes, it's okay not to mention what happened last night, but I don't know what happened to the Yang family in the end?"
Liu Fuquan replied:
"Young master Su, you don't know. There was a big chaos in Tanzhou City last night. After dawn this morning, the situation improved. Those thieves who took the opportunity to cause trouble were suppressed by the imperial army."
"As for the Yang Mansion, Mr. Su, please rest assured. Although there were some misunderstandings between His Majesty and the Yang Mansion last night, with the mediation of the Queen Mother and the Empress, the two families have eliminated the misunderstanding and reconciled."
"Resolved the misunderstanding?"
Su Xian's brows jumped. Could it be that the long-planned plan failed?
If it really failed and Emperor Chu had not confiscated the Yang family's five hundred thousand taels, then it would have been a waste of time.
"Having said that, the five hundred thousand taels of silver secretly raised by the Yang family have been confiscated by His Majesty and sent to the national treasury." Liu Fuquan added.
"I see."
Su Xian was disapproving on the surface, but he was happy in his heart.
It seems that the plan did not fail, but succeeded. This trip to Nanchu was not in vain and helped Chen Keyan solve a big trouble.
After chatting for a few more irrelevant nonsense, Liu Fuquan finally took Su Xian and Yang Zhilan to a palace called the "Eternal Life Palace".
This is the residence of the Queen Mother.
"Master Su, we are here." Liu Fuquan shook the whisk in his hand and led the way.
"good."
Su Xian nodded and followed closely with Yang Zhilan.
Halfway there, Su Xian couldn't help but sniff, the scent of powder became even stronger.
The powder used in the palace is naturally high-end. Even if the smell is stronger, it does not feel overpowering, but makes people feel happy.
It's just a little strange. The Queen Mother must be very old, and she is still ill. She shouldn't apply makeup. So what about the fragrance in the air?
Su Xian had more and more doubts in his heart.
After walking forward for a while, Liu Fuquan suddenly stopped, turned around, looked at Su Xian and said with a smile: "Master Su, please stay here for a while. I'll come back when I go home."
"Eunuch Liu, please." Su Xian nodded.
There were many doors in front of him. Soon after Liu Fuquan opened the door and entered, Su Xian heard many women's chirping voices coming from inside.
During this period, he heard several keywords, such as "fei", "sister", "visit" and so on.
So it turned out that Su Xian suddenly realized that all the concubines in the harem were here to visit the sick Queen Mother. In order to avoid suspicion, Liu Fuquan asked him to wait here.
No wonder, the palace where the Queen Mother lives has such a strong fragrance of powder.
"Young Master Su has been waiting for a long time."
Soon, Liu Fuquan returned and invited Su Xian in with a smile: "The Queen Mother is inside. Please invite Mr. Su to come in and diagnose the Queen Mother's pulse."
"good."
Su Xian took Yang Zhilan through three or five doors and finally arrived at the Queen Mother's bedroom.
The fragrance of the remaining powder here is even stronger.
Because the concubines in the harem just left.
Su Xian walked into the Queen Mother's bed and took a look around. He saw that the Queen Mother was a middle-aged woman, pale and in a coma. Her facial features were somewhat similar to Yang Ruoxian.
After all, they are all members of the Yang family.
"Has the imperial doctor checked the Queen Mother's pulse?" Su Xian looked at Liu Fuquan and asked.
"I've been diagnosed, but the imperial doctors can't do anything. They said that only Mr. Su's nine Huiyang needles can save the Queen Mother's life." Liu Fuquan sighed.
Su Xian nodded, sat down on the stool in front of the hospital bed, placed his fingers on the Queen Mother's pulse, and began to diagnose it.
He had not been studying medicine with Li Qingniu for a long time, but he was very talented, and he had received personal guidance from Li Qingniu, so he made rapid progress.
Furthermore, even if he couldn't diagnose the Queen Mother's illness, he could still use Huiyang Nine Needles to give it a try.
This set of acupuncture is very magical and can be used even if you are not sick. It is a broad-spectrum acupuncture method.
After a while, the pulse diagnosis is over.
Liu Fuquan hurriedly came closer, with a nervous look on his face: "Mr. Su, what's the result?"
Su Xian looked calm on the surface, looked at the closed door of the dormitory, and asked, "I wonder if His Majesty will come over?"
"Your Majesty is busy with official duties and cannot come away. However, His Majesty has a word: Mr. Su, please do your best to diagnose and treat the Queen Mother. Don't worry about anything else. When the Queen Mother recovers, Your Majesty will definitely give you a generous reward!"
After hearing this, Su Xian sneered secretly.
There must be a big reward? Do you want to reward him with disabled legs?
Su Xian remained calm on the surface, and took out the silver needle specially designed for Huiyang Nine Needles, and said: "The imperial doctors are right, now I can only try using Huiyang Nine Needles, I hope it works."
"Thank you Mr. Su!" Liu Fuquan was overjoyed.
"..."
After the injection, Su Xian wrote another prescription.
Finally, he warned: "When decoction, be sure to follow the method noted on the prescription! I will check your pulse again in the evening to determine whether acupuncture is effective."
In fact, if he were at Li Qingniu's level, he would be able to determine whether the acupuncture was effective after applying the acupuncture, but after all, he was not...
"Thank you, Mr. Su..." Liu Fuquan made arrangements for the decoction and asked Su Xian with a smile: "Mr. Su, please come here. The Ye family will escort the young master out of the palace."
"good."
The group of people slowly walked out of the Queen Mother's chamber.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the palace and came to a corridor, Su Xian heard the chattering of many women not far away from the room over there.
Turning his head to look, he saw a group of young women in bright and colorful clothes, about fifty or sixty of them, all dressed up, with their backs turned to them, their figures slim and beautiful.
"The palace where the Queen Mother lives is just different. Even the maids are as beautiful as heavenly beings."
Su Xian smiled.
These words frightened Liu Fuquan half to death. He blocked Su Xian with exaggerated movements, raised his index finger in front of his lips to make a silencing gesture, lowered his voice, and looked extremely solemn:
"Master Su, be careful, those are His Majesty's concubines, not palace maids!"
"I see……"
Su Xian understood and sighed in his heart:
"The Emperor of Chu is quite blessed. The fifty or sixty concubines are all extremely beautiful...well, it just feels a bit wasteful. Can he take care of the frail Emperor of Chu?"
Liu Fuquan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and continued to lead the way, smiling and saying: "Master Su, please come this way."
"Thank you."
Su Xian nodded and followed behind with Yang Zhilan.
Unexpectedly, when they turned a corner in the corridor, a group of people came towards them from the opposite side.
The first person is a woman.
Bright and majestic, charming and gorgeous, her facial features, her makeup and hair accessories, her clothes and skirts, and her unique charming temperament, and even every move, give people a strong impact.
Coming like a huge wave, sweeping everything!
Su Xian can be regarded as someone who has seen countless beauties, but after seeing this girl, he couldn't wait to put his eyes on her.
This woman's face is stern, and her eyes seem to be filled with sword light, but her charming and charming temperament is fully displayed when she walks... Keep away from strangers, and her charming and charming temperament is blended together, which is very eye-catching.
There is an indescribable allure.
Su Xian's heart was beating violently, as if he had been poisoned. His eyes were fixed on this woman. If someone stood in front of him, they would notice that the light in his eyes was abnormal!
For some reason, a strong primitive desire arose in his heart——
Catch this woman, and then... do whatever you want!
How long has it been since this primitive seasonal movement occurred?
He remembered that it was when he was in Leshou County, Yingzhou, before he established a relationship with Liu Huixiang, that he felt like his blood was about to boil.
But this time, just looking at the woman from a distance, the tremors in his body were stronger than ever before!
Suddenly, Su Xian felt a slight pain in his shoulder.
This slight pain made him wake up instantly.
This feeling is like breaking through the shackles of some kind of dream.
Looking sideways, it turned out to be Yang Zhilan from behind, gently squeezing his shoulder.
Su Xian breathed a sigh of relief. He had woken up. The situation just now was very wrong, otherwise it would not have attracted the attention of Yang Zhilan behind him.
He raised his head again and looked to the opposite side.
The woman was only two feet away from them.
Even though he was mentally prepared, Su Xian's heart still beat heavily when he saw the woman again.
He always felt that this woman was very special and had an inexplicable charm. The feeling was indescribable, so that the absurd thought of "stealing this woman away and retreating to the mountains and forests" repeatedly came to his mind.
The biggest absurdity is that owning this woman means owning everything. You don’t want anything anymore. Everything is satisfied. You just want to keep this woman and retreat into the mountains and forests until the end of the world...
He was keenly aware that this feeling was abnormal.
There is even a sense of separation that is beyond one's control.
Su Xian pinched himself secretly. The pain made him tremble, and at the same time he felt quite awake.
"What are you looking at?!"
The two sides were finally close, and the woman suddenly stopped, staring coldly at Su Xian with a pair of sword-like eyes, with a condescending expression, and angrily said:
"Where did this little eunuch come from? Haven't you been castrated yet? How dare you look directly at me, you are looking for death!"
Liu Fuquan looked back and realized that Su Xian had been staring at the woman. He was so frightened that he pulled Su Xian to the side of the road and reminded:
"Mr. Su, this is Concubine Tang, please don't blaspheme her!"
Is she Tang Guifei? !
Su Xian was shocked. No wonder Wang Mo said that Concubine Tang Guifei was a "witch". It was indeed a bit weird!
