Chapter 21

The bowl hit the ground and made a dull sound, and the black juice flowed all over the floor. The servant girl immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty. She was too scared to lift her head. The female official Xiang nanchun, who has just been in charge of the Qiyang palace from the palace, hears the sound and runs over. She was the first to see the shivering servant girl lying on the floor, spilling the soup all over the floor. Her eyes slowly moved up, and then she saw that Xie xuanchen was leaning on the bed half covered by the screen.

When Xiang nanchun saw this scene, she didn't understand anything. Without saying a word, she knelt on the ground with her skirt and bowed her head respectfully, saying: "the little servant girl worked as a servant for the first time. She was so clumsy that she disturbed the Lord. Please forgive me. "

Xie xuanchen had already sat up. His eyes swept over these strange women, and then he looked at the hall where there were many more people, with a smile of unknown meaning.

In the past, as long as Mu Mingtang heard the sound, he would run over immediately. Now there's so much noise. After so long, she hasn't appeared.

Most of the time, it will not appear.

The man at the door was still kneeling on the ground. He didn't speak. No one dared to get up. I don't know if it's Xie xuanchen's illusion. He always thinks that these women are afraid of him a little too much. Even though he is usually afraid of women, he should not panic like that just when he wakes up.

Xie xuanchen did not say anything, light way: "since it is the first time, then get up."

Xiang nanchun kowtowed to the ground: "thank you."

Then Xiang nanchun stealthily pinches the little servant girl and signals her to quit. Soon afterwards, a maid came to serve the hot soup, and another group of maids followed, quietly cleaning up the mess on the ground.

Xiang nanchun stopped for a while in front of Xie xuanchen's interview medicine, and then asked the servant girl to bring up the medicine bowl: "Wang Ye, please take the medicine."

Xie xuanchen eyes condescending underground move, stop on the medicine, half a day did not speak. The servant girl with the medicine began to tremble all over her body. The more she trembled, the more obvious it was. At last, even the water surface was shaking with tiny ripples.

Xiang nanchun waited calmly for a long time. Finally, he couldn't help but try to remind him: "Your Highness, it's time to drink medicine..."

Xie xuanchen's eyes swept over, and Xiang nanchun didn't dare to speak. Xie xuanchen ignored the reason and asked, "when is it now?"

"It's time to return to the Lord."

"And the days?"

"September fourteenth."

"September fourteenth." Xie xuanchen repeated it slowly, as if there was something special about this day. At the moment, there are many people standing in the bedroom, and I don't know how many ears are surrounded outside, but the needles can be heard all the time in the room, and people dare not even breathe out loud.

All of us are thinking about what's special about September 14, but Xie xuanchen is thinking that today, September 14, he has been in a coma for five days. Where is mu Mingtang these five days?

Mu Mingtang learned that he woke up, it is impossible not to appear, it seems that there is only one possibility.

Xie xuanchen didn't say anything. He told the servant girl, "bring me the medicine."

The servant girl trembles and sends medicine. Xie xuanchen sees something and sneers in his heart. Sherry is really tight against him. The bowls and spoons are made of wood. Is it made of porcelain or silver that will become a weapon in his hand?

It's too low to look at him. As long as he wants, what can't be his weapon?

Xie xuanchen suddenly burst up and snatched the wooden spoon from the maid's hand. As soon as he broke it, the spoon was broken into a sharp one. And at this time, the servant girl also Lengleng ground raises a hand, medicine bowl falls to the ground, still in gululu to revolve.

Xie xuanchen's sharp thorn in the hand has already resisted the servant girl's throat: "where is she?"

The servant girl finally responded, shaking like chaff: "slave I don't know who the Lord is asking. "

Xiang nanchun didn't expect this change. At the moment, she responded and knelt down and said, "I'm just here. I really don't know what your highness is asking. For your Majesty's sake, please wait for your life. "

The guard outside the door also silently clenched the scabbard, ready to draw the knife. Xie xuanchen sneered. His wrist suddenly forced him to throw the wooden thorn to the ground. He rubbed Xiang nanchun's sleeve and nailed it to the ground. Xiang nanchun only felt a flower in front of him, and his sleeve was nailed. The servant girls around him cried out, and Xiang nanchun's legs were soft.

It's a floor tile. A piece of wood that can be easily broken and thrown across the air can pierce the floor tile.

"Don't know who I'm asking?" Xie xuanchen completely restrained a smile, his face is not very good now, the tear mole reflects on his pale and thin face, gloomy and aggressive, "now know?"

This time, not only the female official's legs are soft, but also the guards outside are cool. When they prepared the tableware, they thought of this scene and deliberately removed the porcelain bowl, silver bowl and other dangerous goods, even the spoon was deliberately blunt. Unexpectedly, in Xie xuanchen's hands, the spoon only needs to be broken at will. Only by the power of bare hands, it is the weapon that can smash the floor tiles and kill people.

What's more, it's just his weakness.

Xiang nanchun was almost scared to death, and now he was soft all over. He quickly said, "I'm only in charge of internal affairs. I really don't know the whereabouts of the princess. Five days ago, sun Daizhao of the internal servant Bureau called the princess away. Since then, the princess and sun Daizhao have been living in Jingzhai, and the maidservant and Jingzhai have never been in touch with each otherThe people in the internal servant bureau are the people who are waiting for the imperial edict, that is, the people who serve the Empress Dowager. Xie xuanchen sneered, supported the bed, just stood up and walked out.

When Xie xuanchen walked, no one dared to help them. They all knelt on the ground and waited without raising their heads. After Xie xuanchen came out of the door, the servant girl asked Xiang nanchun quietly: "to aunt, Wang Ye has gone to Jingzhai. Sun Daizhao is there. Shall we send someone to inform him?"

Xiang nanchun twisted his eyebrows for a long time and finally shook his head slowly: "it's too late. Just do what you do, don't do anything superfluous. We can't afford to get involved in the affairs of the people above. "

Xie xuanchen almost forgot that there is such a place in his mansion. In fact, Jingzhai is not far from Yulin hall. The eaves room in front of Yulin hall is connected with two zhaixuan, risi Zhai on the left and Yunrui Zhai on the right. Go through yunruizhai, and then go on to Jingzhai.

It's just as quiet and gloomy as its name. When he came near, the shadow outside Jingzhai was dancing and the bamboo leaves were rustling. The bamboo is dark inside, and only one room has light.

Many bodyguards and servant girls followed him. Suddenly, someone wanted to deliver the news, but Xie xuanchen stood in front of him, and no one dared to remind him. Xie xuanchen is silent and close. The people inside are still talking.

Xie xuanchen vaguely heard what he was choosing. What did Mu Mingtang say? Another woman's voice seemed to be a pity. She asked, "Princess mu, do you really choose like this? You look so beautiful and your skin looks delicate. If you stick a needle into it, I'm afraid you'll suffer a lot. "

What's going in there? Xie xuanchen outside to hear, immediately picked eyebrows, slammed the door: "you let her choose what?"

Sun Daizhao was pulling out the thinnest one from the needle bag. Everything in the palace had rules and regulations, and so did the upper needle. From the thin to the thick, from the short to the long, we should not disorder the order.

She was about to say something when she heard a bang behind her. Sun Daizhao was startled, and his hand trembled, almost to his fingertips. She looked back angrily and saw a man standing in the night. He followed a group of attendants behind him. Seeing sun Daizhao's sight, the servant girl lowered her eyes one by one. No one dared to step forward.

Sun Daizhao was stunned and suddenly understood. The king of Qiyang didn't know when he woke up. These people outside didn't watch him, so he didn't say anything. Why didn't they send someone to tell him?

Sun Daizhao immediately led a group of female officials to kneel down. He could not take care of the needle bag: "I see King Qiyang, Lord Jin'an."

Mu Mingtang also suddenly stood up. She wanted to meet her, but Xie xuanchen was surrounded by many attendants. It seemed that the stars were flying in the sky. Mu Mingtang stopped for some reason.

Sun Daizhao and others knelt down. Mu Mingtang looked around and bowed his head without saying a word.

Xie xuanchen came in, and the people on both sides quickly moved the seats and spread the brocade mats for him. Xie xuanchen didn't say anything, and the people on the ground couldn't get up. Sun Daizhao felt that someone was walking up and down on her head, but she wanted to stick to the ground tightly, and her heart was filled with embarrassment.

She is the Empress Dowager's fourth grade imperial edict. When people in the palace see her, they should not call her "aunt sun" respectfully, that is, the favorite concubines should be careful to flatter her. When did sun Daizhao suffer such a slight insult?

But this is the king of Qiyang in front of him. No matter how much he hates him, he can only bear it and wait for him to speak.

After Xie xuanchen sat down, he said slowly, "let's get up."

Sun Daizhao was relieved that he didn't let her wait too long. After all, she was in front of the Empress Dowager.

Sun Daizhao was about to pick up his skirt when Xie xuanchen suddenly said, "kneel down, I didn't say you."

Sun Daizhao was stunned, and several other female officials looked at each other. They didn't know whether to get up or to keep kneeling.

Mumingtang is a princess, salute and they are not the same level, she just half squat line Wanfu, Xie xuanchen a word, she has stood up. Mu Mingtang is a little embarrassed. Is she acting too fast? Just now Xie xuanchen that "rises", after all said to her?

Now sun Daizhao and several female officials did not move, and Mu Mingtang was embarrassed to move, so he could only continue to stand in the same place. She stood, sun Daizhao and others knelt, especially humiliating.

Xie xuanchen pointed to a female official at this time and said, "you, bring up the things in your hand."

This is the sixth grade in Chang Shi. Because of her eloquence and charming appearance, she is very popular with the Empress Dowager. It is said that her future is far more than that of a female official. She can't tell when she will become a master.

Because of this respectability, Yu Chang Shi has always been a good choice. This time, he came to work for the Empress Dowager. He was enthusiastic outside of Chang Shi's office and made great efforts to make contributions. Just now I asked Mu Mingtang. Yu Changshi didn't spare no effort. She even put on the needle. She was ready to move and snatched it from her companion.

Now Leng buting is pointed out by Xie xuanchen, and Yu Changshi's head is big. She regretted that she shouldn't have helped her companion with things just now. Yu Changshi secretly went to see sun Daizhao. However, sun Daizhao knelt in the front and could not see anything at the moment. Yu Changshi didn't know what to do, so he had to put the wooden plate on.

Yu Changshi kneels on the edge of the chair and raises the wooden plate over his eyebrows and presents it to Xie xuanchen. Xie xuanchen droops Mou to see, after a while, suddenly picked out a long and thin needle.His fingers were long and slender, and because of his long illness, he became thinner and thinner. At the moment, the slender needle in both hands, could not say which one was more frightening.

Xie xuanchen took a good look at it in front of him for a while. He compared it with Chang Shi and asked, "how to use it?"

Yu Changshi's body began to shake: "I don't know."

"You don't know." Xie xuanchen's fingers slowly turned the slender needle and said in a joking tone, "when I woke up, I asked where the princess was. The maid kneeling in front of the bed said that she didn't know. Now I'll see what you and the princess do. You don't know? "

Xie xuanchen is smiling, suddenly intonation a change: "you guess that say don't know of servant girl, still alive now?"

Yu Chang's shaking became more and more severe, and his words were not sharp: "slave, maidservant..."

At this time, sun Daizhao suddenly said: "report back to the prince, maidservants and others come to the palace to share their worries for Princess Mu under the order of the Empress Dowager. All slaves are kind-hearted. If there is any misunderstanding, please let King Qiyang listen to me and explain it before making a decision. "

Xie xuanchen didn't care what sun Daizhao said. He laughed and said with regret: "you don't say it. If you don't, I'll have to ask someone else. "

Xie xuanchen said, looking at Xiang Mu Mingtang: "Mingtang, how can I use this needle?"

Mu Mingtang is called by surprise. She looks up and looks at Xie xuanchen in surprise, which confirms that he is really talking to her. Mu Mingtang swept the people on the ground and found that he was supported by others now. His tail suddenly shook up: "aunt Sun said that the short one is used to prick the fingertips, the medium one is used to prick the waist and legs, and the longest needle is suitable for horizontal pricking after taking off clothes."

Even if they couldn't see it, they seemed to feel the pain. Xie xuanchen nodded and asked Mu Mingtang, "which needle do you like to use?"

"What the Lord has is just right."

"Well." Xie xuanchen nodded and handed the needle to Yu Changshi in front of him. "Just follow what the princess said. You can show me. You don't have to go far. Your leader seems to be sun, just her. "

Yu Chang shivered and almost fainted. She suddenly bent over and kowtowed to the ground: "King Qiyang, please forgive me, I dare not! Lord, spare your life

Xie xuanchen gave a cold smile. The corner of his eye seemed to be crooked but not crooked. He said with a smile: "now I know I'm afraid? Why don't you remember to be afraid of the person who moved me just now? "

Xie xuanchen's fingertip flicked and nailed the needle directly into the gap between Chang Shi's fingers: "do you come by yourself or me?"

Sun could not listen to the imperial edict any more. He raised his head and said, "King Qiyang, I came to help you at the Empress Dowager's command. The LORD sent out the maidservant. The maidservant did not dare to complain. But if the emperor and the Empress Dowager asked later, the LORD would not be able to explain. "

"Empress Dowager?" Xie xuanchen said with a smile, did not hide his disdain at all, "Lu Shi has been putting up music in front of you for a long time, really forgot his identity? She doesn't dare to be arrogant in front of me, but her servants, one by one, set the score of Empress Dowager with me? "

Mu Mingtang didn't quite understand. It sounds that the Empress Dowager seems to have any grudge with Xie xuanchen? She quietly looked around and found that everyone was quietly lowering their heads. Even sun Daizhao didn't dare to explain. Mu Mingtang knew his interest and didn't speak.

There was only the sob of Chang Shi, who couldn't help it. Xie xuanchen nailed the needle directly into her fingers. Yu Changshi was so scared that he didn't dare to move. Seeing no one talking at the moment, Yu Changshi pulled out the needle in despair.

I don't know if I was scared to take off the force or if the needle was too deep. After several times of using the force, I finally pulled out the slender needle. She knelt and walked to sun Daizhao. She whispered no, then she shook her hands and stabbed the needle at sun Daizhao.

Yu Changshi had tried his best to make light of his strength, but at the moment when the tip of the needle came into the flesh, sun Daizhao cried out in pain. Mu Mingtang is very happy. Just now, when Chang Shi was holding the needle bag, he was extremely arrogant and proud. Now, when he applies her special skills to his boss, he makes the best use of everything. I hope that when I return to the palace, I can still laugh.

Xie xuanchen didn't speak, and Yu Changshi didn't dare to stop. At last, sun Daizhao's face became worse and worse, and Yu Chang's servant did not dare. He kowtowed a few heads in a hurry and put needles on himself: "it's the slave's fault. Please forgive me, my Lord and my princess!"

In order to make it better to go back to the palace, Yu Changshi didn't leave any strength when he stabbed himself. Mu Mingtang was in pain when he saw it. After more than 30 stabs, small blood beads oozed from his clothes. Xie xuanchen was satisfied: "yes, I like this set of things. Stay. "

Yu Changshi felt relieved and knelt unsteadily, trying to kowtow to Xie xuanchen. People inside and outside were relieved to think that the matter was finally over, even Mu Mingtang thought so. Did not expect Xie xuanchen tone a turn, suddenly asked: "that bowl of soup is to do what?"

The air was so fierce that sun's face turned white this time. Mu Mingtang swept his eyes around and said, "the female officials said that it's for recuperation. If you are afraid of pain when giving birth to a child and drink a bowl of this medicine, you will not be able to conceive any more children and it will not hurt naturally. "

At the beginning, Mu Mingtang said to take care of his body. Xie xuanchen really thought in this direction. Unexpectedly, when he heard that, his face became colder and colder, and the murderous look in his eyes almost turned into substance.Xie xuanchen didn't even have a sneer this time: "who ordered?"

Sun Daizhao's face was astonishing. Seeing that no one admitted it, Xie xuanchen snorted coldly and said, "you are very good to send this kind of thing to the Qiyang palace. If you don't tell me, I'll ask sherry. "

Several female officials spoke at the same time. At last, sun Daizhao took the lead and said, "it's a slave."

Xie xuanchen coldly pointed to the completely cold medicine juice and said, "drink it."

"Yes." Sun Daizhao kowtowed, then took the bowl from another female official and drank it all in front of the crowd. The medicine with this function doesn't taste good. Mu Mingtang is disgusted just by smelling it. Sun Daizhao is almost nauseous when he drinks it, but he still doesn't dare to leave a drop.

They didn't expect Xie xuanchen to wake up so quickly. What's more, they didn't expect Xie xuanchen to come in person at night. Isn't that to say that the king of Qiyang is so ill that he has only one breath to go to see the king of hell at any time?

Sun Daizhao had another task. They only watched Jingzhai all day and didn't go to Yulin hall to wait on him, so they didn't know much about Xie xuanchen. When the reaction comes, it's all late.

The emperor really didn't want children born in the Qiyang palace. Xie xuanchen was in great trouble. The Emperor didn't want to see a baby born with Xie xuanchen's blood at all. Although Xie xuanchen doesn't seem to be able to make people pregnant now, what if?

The Emperor didn't want to gamble, and he didn't dare. However, it's hard to say these subtle troubles. Seeing the emperor's mind, Empress Dowager Lu ordered her female officials to go out of the palace to solve his hidden trouble for the emperor.

According to the Taiyi, Xie xuanchen has at least three or four days to wake up, so sun Daizhao confidently brings Juezi decoction, hoping to solve Mu Mingtang's problem in these days. As soon as the row of bright and shining needles is put out, which woman can carry it is better than a bowl of Juezi soup. After all, with Xie xuanchen's body, she couldn't have children in her life.

Anyway, the result is the same. Why fight against the emperor and the Empress Dowager? And save skin and flesh. However, Mu Mingtang chose the needle. Sun Daizhao was surprised and regretted, but he was not disappointed. It seems that the young princess of Qiyang will not be enlightened without some lessons.

Mu Mingtang's own cooperation, everything is easy to say, she does not cooperate, but also suffered some flesh and blood, and then was perfused. This is the result that the emperor wants. No matter what he does, the result will not change.

No one expected that Xie xuanchen would wake up. Originally, it was a clever plan to share the emperor's worries, but now it has become the sewage poured on the emperor. No matter what the emperor thinks, the reputation of murdering King Qiyang's descendants must not be taken seriously. If they don't clean it up, let alone make contributions, it's extravagant to leave a whole corpse.

Each of them understood this, so when King Qiyang asked, so many people rushed to answer. In the end, it was sun Daizhao who was superior to the others. She had the highest status and the highest status. Only when she came to suffer, could the king of Qiyang be relieved.

When sun waited for Zhao to drink, many people inside and outside the house did not look at him. When the last drop was finished, sun Daizhao fell down on the ground and couldn't help retching. Soon, her stomach began to cramp.

Sun Daizhao shrank into shrimps on the ground and kept rolling. Xie xuanchen watched coldly. He stood up slowly. He didn't know whether he was going to tell sun Daizhao on the ground or someone else: "I don't want to dirty my hands today and leave your dog's life for now. In the future, put your hands clean, and then dare to do it to my people. I'll let you spit out what you eat. "

When Xie xuanchen spoke, he had no blood on his face, and his lips were pale. White face, cold eyes, now point a tear mole, the whole person is like a ghost in the water, cold, and unspeakable coquettish.

After he finished, he raised his eyelids to Mu Mingtang, still in a cold and world weary manner, and stretched out his hand to Mu Mingtang: "let's go, I'll take you home."

It's a cold tone, but in Mu Mingtang's ears, it's like the spring breeze in March, the ice disappears and the snow melts. Mu Mingtang's eyes suddenly brightened, and immediately ran over the crowd to his side, holding his hand.

"Well, let's go home."
