Chunman Palace

Chapter 101 Moon Gu
In the Shuxiang Courtyard of the Imperial Garden, Xuan Yin was strolling in it admiring the new and exotic flowers. The summer wind was as soft as fluff, caressing his face lightly, feeling indescribably comfortable.Doctor Li followed behind people attentively, fanning the wind, pointing to the newly grown exotic flowers and weeds and chatting enthusiastically.

A quiet konghou sound suddenly came, Xuan Yin stopped and stopped, stretched out his hand to signal Li Qiao to be quiet, and followed the strange konghou music to find the past, and pushed aside the luxuriant branches and leaves, only to see a man dressed in sky blue jade. The woman in the dress was sitting among the flowers, fiddled with the jasper harp half a person's height.

The woman has a dignified appearance, with a cold feeling between her eyebrows and eyes like the sound of music, and two traces of sadness at the end of her eyebrows, just like a fairy in the cold moon palace descending to the mortal world. It's like spring rain pouring water on my heart.

Xuan Yin wondered, "Who is playing here?"

The woman played the last note unhurriedly, and then calmly saluted: "I have seen you, sir."

Li Qiao said anxiously: "Young master? What are you talking about!" He raised his voice as a reminder: "This is the emperor! Hurry up and greet the emperor."

"The concubine sees the emperor! All blessings, the emperor!" A voice of greetings came, but it was not from the woman playing the harp, but from Chang Xiuru who was recovering from a long illness.

After Chang Xiuru's toxicity stabilized, she went to find Lin Qingyu, and when they met again, the two agreed to form an alliance. For the sake of the common enemy and the common benefit, she decided to use her current identity to reveal herself. I recommend Qiu Jinyu face to face.

Xuan Yin said: "Concubine Chang, you are not in Guanju Palace to take care of yourself, why did you come here?"

Chang Xiuru smiled lightly, and said: "Your Majesty, my concubine has been well nursed by the imperial physicians, and she is almost recovered. Now I like to go out for a walk and listen to some music." She pointed and hugged the konghou The woman said, "Her name is Qiu Jinjin. She used to perform in the Jiangnan Orchestra, but because she played konghou well, she was brought back to the palace by the master of the Lingyin Pavilion. Jinyu, why don't you meet the emperor soon?"

Qiu Jinyu nodded, stepped forward to salute, and said, "The daughter of the people sees the emperor, long live my emperor! The daughter of the people called me by mistake just now, and I ask the emperor to forgive me." After finishing speaking, she knelt down towards Xuan Yin.

Xuan Yin waved his hand and said: "Excuse me! Those who don't know are not guilty. This is the first time I have heard such a good konghou sound. Would you like to play another song?"

"Ministers take orders." Qiu Jinyu saluted again, picked up the jasper harp and lightly plucked the strings, the strings sounded like water waves flowing, light and ethereal, and like ice rain falling on the eaves in cold weather, it fell densely and quickly, in a cold and lonely The Qi deeply suppressed the surrounding Great Summer Flame, making people feel a sense of desolation and sadness, like duckweed without roots, and I don't know where to rely.

At the end of the song, Xuan Yin asked Qiu Jinyu: "What is the name of this song?"

"Back to the emperor, this song is called "Bright Moon"."

"Mingyue...Mingyue..." Xuan Yin seemed to be lost in thought, murmured these two words for a long time, then clapped his hands and laughed, "Okay! Good name, nice person, and the song is quite fairy-like, it can be used as a spiritual word."

Qiu Jinyu lowered her head even more: "Thank you for your praise, your majesty is nothing more than trivial skills."

But Chang Xiuru understood the meaning, stepped forward with a smile on her face and said, "What does the emperor mean, but do you want to give Miss Qiu a place?" She turned around and said to Qiu Jinyu: "Ling promised, please thank the emperor soon. !"

Xuan Yin shook his head and said: "It's a pity to agree to this position to match such a spiritual woman!"

Chang Xiuru still had a smile on her face: "Then what does the emperor mean?"

"For such a rare woman, the position of nobleman is not a disappointment!" Xuan Yin looked at Li Qiao, and said, "Let's be named Lingguiren, and give him the residence of Shu Jingtang. Send someone to take good care of Lingguiren's residence."

Li Qiao's head was pounding like garlic: "Your servant will send someone to prepare."

Chang Xiuru also hurriedly followed the words: "Yes, Miss Qiu's harp skills are so superb, it's worthy of a nobleman."

Qiu Jinyu didn't react for a while, and said a little stupidly: "Min... no, my concubine thanks the emperor."

Xuan Yin nodded, and sat down on a stone pier beside the rockery: "Well, I like the song "Bright Moon" that Linggui just played, so let me play it again."

"Yes." Qiu Jinyu picked up the harp, sat down beside Xuan Yin naturally, and plucked the strings again.

Xuan Yin looked at Chang Xiuru who was standing beside him, and said, "Concubine Chang, if you have nothing to do, go back first."

Chang Xiuru was startled, and gave a little salute unwillingly: "Yes, the concubine will leave first." Before leaving, she told Qiu Jinyu: "Your Ling, then you should stay and accompany the emperor well." .”

Just after she walked out of Shuxiangyuan, she suddenly felt flustered in her heart, a fishy-sweet smell rushed up from her abdomen, she hurriedly covered her chest and squatted down to spit out the bloody red, and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief.

The maid next to her panicked: "Your Majesty! Didn't Concubine Concubine say that you will be fine after taking those pills? Why are you vomiting blood again?"

Chang Xiuru's face was pale and she couldn't speak, she just pushed the maid with all her strength and said: "Go to my palace to get the medicine, go quickly!"

"Yes Yes…"

The maid nodded repeatedly and ran out.

Chang Xiuru leaned on the wall with her arms, breathing heavily, trying to calm down the flustered emotions, but there was always a fire burning in her heart, which kept making her heart beat faster and faster, even faintly itchy Generally, the skin and flesh will be broken.

The familiar feeling in the body struck again, densely lurking in the blood like ten thousand insects gnawed, and spread throughout the body with the flow, trembling teeth unconsciously, trembling, almost losing consciousness and passing out, but the severe pain came again Always keep yourself awake.

Chang Xiuru wished she could slam her head against the wall. She pinched her head with her fingers, tried her best to restrain the desire to die, and then kept struggling and shouting: "Isn't it already healed! How did it happen, why did it happen again !"

The great pain almost engulfed her, she patted the wall hard and gritted her teeth to inhale, finally, with a gust of cool wind passing by, the maid brought the medicine over.

She snatched the medicine bottle, poured two pills from it and swallowed it. The pain and discomfort in her body gradually improved, and her breathing gradually returned to a normal state.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Concubine told you that you would be cured after taking it for a period of time, why are you inseparable from this medicine now... Could it be that Concubine Concubine is...in..." The maid swallowed her words suddenly go back.

Chang Xiuru took a few breaths, stared at her bloodshot eyeballs and said, "It's not unreasonable what you said, we used to be mortal enemies, it's not impossible for her to pretend to be a cure but actually want to harm me...!" She slowly got up , Luobu walked forward: "Go to Yanxi Palace!"

In the Palace of Yanxi Palace, Lin Qingyu was feeding the parrot cornstarch with a spoon with a curved mouth. The emerald green parrot jumped up and down happily, and a few lake-blue feathers shone softly in the sun. He tilted his head and licked the millet jade, eating with relish.

Seeing this, Lin Qingyu couldn't help but feel joy in his heart, and stretched out his fingers to hook the parrot's little head a few times.

Just at this moment, Chang Xiuru Lei came over fiercely, and said to Lin Qingyu, "Lin Qingyu, why are you going back on what you promised!"

The palace people of Yanxi Palace widened their eyes when they heard Chang Xiuru call Lin Qingyu by her name like this, even Lin Qingyu, who had clearly warned before that it doesn’t matter what you call her in private, but you still have to call her concubine concubine in front of outsiders .Now that Chang Xiuru is like this, she really refuses to give any face.

She signaled the palace servants to withdraw, and hung the spoon on the birdcage, "Sister, what do you mean by this? Didn't you say it before..."

Chang Xiuru interrupted excitedly: "You did tell me before that I only need to take this medicine for a period of time and I will be cured, but why is my illness still not diminished at all, and I can't do without this medicine more and more? What do you think, did this medicine save me or hurt me?"

Lin Qingyu teased the parrot with her fingers, and said, "How many days did my sister take the medicine? How can it be effective so quickly... As the saying goes, illnesses come like a mountain, and go away like silkworms. My sister has at least one food poisoning." For two months, it took more than double the time to use the antidote pills. Otherwise, how can we completely eliminate the residual poison?"

She plucked a parrot's feather, which caused the parrot to fly around, "Isn't it a good thing that my sister is becoming more and more inseparable from this medicine? It also shows that this medicine is right for my sister's illness. The antidote Wouldn’t it be great if poisons could counteract each other?”

Chang Xiuru pulled her hand down, snatched the feather and threw it on the ground, saying: "What's the matter...! Why do I still get poisoned now, feel flustered and uncomfortable, and sometimes feel scratched?" My liver hurts, and I feel like I've been bitten by ants!"

Lin Qingyu frowned and said: "As I said just now, my sister's previous poisoning has accumulated to a depth of two months. If you want to recover completely, you should adjust slowly, from severe to light, and the effect of the medicine is slow, but it is indeed happening. Effective."

"Could it be that you want to lie to me?"

"Sister, what joke are you talking about? Now you and I are on the same front. Why should I deceive you? What good is it for me to deceive you?" Lin Qingyu felt unbelievable. She chuckled and looked at humanity mockingly: "If I If I want to deceive you, I won’t tell you about Lan Fei’s poisoning, and I won’t make you a detoxification pill. Just tell me, the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital is as effective as me... ..."

When Chang Xiuru heard her words, she gradually calmed down and thought about it. The imperial physicians in the imperial hospital struggled for a long time, but they failed to concoct an antidote with immediate effect, and Lin Qingyu only let her take the pill for half a month. Although the symptoms did not decrease each time the attack occurred, the effect was immediate every time.

Lin Qingyu looked at the restless Chang Xiuru, and said, "Sister, do you understand? My sister won't harm you. Everything that happened in the past is just a mirror image. We've settled our suspicions long ago, haven't we?"

Only then did Chang Xiuru come back to her senses: "I misunderstood my sister..."

Lin Qingyu smiled gently: "It's okay, it's good for my sister to talk to me! In fact, my sister didn't talk too much before, which caused a lot of misunderstandings. Now my sister is willing to talk to me so plainly. It's really good, sister What’s in my heart can be said more clearly.”

Chang Xiuru laughed and said: "My sister doesn't mind my sister being straightforward."

Lin Qingyu took a sip of tea and said, "Why, it's not the first time I've seen my sister's frankness? It's just like this, not like those people who pretended to cater to me after I returned to the palace as a concubine."

Chang Xiuru nodded, "Yes, I don't like those pretentious people either. My sister is acting openly and honestly now. It's because I have misunderstood my sister before. I won't do it anymore." She paused, then continued: " By the way, my sister, I'm almost finished taking these medicines, I wonder if my sister can give me some more?"

"Naturally, I have already prepared my sister's medicine." Lin Qingyu smiled, and called out the door: "Mo'er, come in, and bring the medicine I prepared for sister Chang."

"Yes." Mo'er responded softly, then walked into the palace gate very briskly, took out a porcelain bottle from the box and handed it to Chang Xiuru.

Lin Qingyu said: "This time the medicine has been prepared for two months, one pill at a time, sister, don't overdo it, or it will backfire."

"Understood, then thank my sister." Chang Xiuru put the medicine bottle away, and said with a smile: "The emperor has already taken a fancy to that person, and now he has been named a nobleman, and the title is Ling."

Lin Qingyu opened her eyes slightly, and said in surprise, "Your nobleman? You didn't just enter the palace through draft selection, and you weren't the daughter of a powerful family. Just because of your konghou skills, you became a nobleman?" She shook gently. The lotus flower thin fan shook his head: "The emperor is so confident in his preference, I'm afraid this noble man will cause dissatisfaction."

Chang Xiuru didn't take it seriously: "So what if you are dissatisfied? There are only a few people in this palace who can be called pleasing to the eye, and there are many people who have made mistakes and were severely punished, and those who died were sentenced to death. Now there is such a wonderful person, The emperor is tempted." She patted him on the shoulder: "You still don't understand, just get used to it."

Lin Qingyu shook her fan with a smile: "Then it won't be possible to push her younger sister out. If the two sisters are bright for a while and fight, wouldn't it be that we have hurt others."

Chang Xiuru lowered her eyes, and said coldly: "Sisters have turned against each other for many years, let alone those who are like duckweed? For the sake of glory and wealth, what else can't they do?"

Lin Qingyu smiled pleasantly: "Biological sisters, it shouldn't be like this, right?"

"It's hard to say." Chang Xiuru yawned, and saluted slightly: "Suddenly I feel a little sleepy, so I'll leave first, and come to talk to my sister another day."

Lin Qingyu waved the small fan and smiled: "Sister, go slowly, Mo'er, go and see off Sister Chang."

Chang Xiuru said lightly: "No need to send it off, come back another day." Then she put her hand on the hand of the accompanying maid and went slowly.

Lin Qingyu looked at Chang Xiuru's figure thoughtfully.

Mo'er suddenly reached into the ice jar, and took out a box from it. After opening, it contained several unknown herbs.

"Your Majesty, the people from the freezer helped to bring it here. I don't know how long these doses will last?"

Lin Qingyu glanced down and continued to use the fan to dispel the heat, "One month. Let them look for it carefully, but let them know that this poppy is not easy to find, so don't be tempted to look for it. The wind spread to other people's ears..."

"Your maidservant understands, you can rest assured to give the medicine to Concubine Chang, Your Majesty."
