Chunman Palace

Chapter 91

In the early morning light, when Lin Qingyu stood up and looked up, he saw that Zeyu had already put on his little undergarment, and he was staring at the clothes on the shelf in a daze.

The body was no longer wet, after a night of warmth, the whole body was as hot and dry as the clothes hung on the charcoal basin, this kind of temperature filled the cheeks with the body, and it was red.

Lin Qingyu's voice sounded faintly: "Are you awake? Sir, do you still remember what happened?" She was full of joy in her heart, and this was the beginning of her revenge on that cold-hearted person.

From now on, she can no longer live according to her own will, but wants to be reckless in this short period of time.

Facing the annoyance and speechlessness on Zezu's face, she covered his body and hugged his back tightly, spitting out her warmth: "This is the end, why should my lord escape?"

Zeyu's body became extremely stiff the moment she touched her, and all the muscles in his body suddenly twisted into a ball. He asked with confusion and a touch of sadness: "Why?"

Her voice was brisk: "It's just following your heart. My lord didn't reject Qingyu last night, didn't you?" She lowered her eyes slightly, the light in her pupils gradually dimmed, like pearls with their shells removed, and her tone became heavy: "Qing Yu has long had enough of such a restrained and orderly life."

Zeyu turned over and jumped down silently, put his hands stiffly on the clothes hanger, and said in a hoarse voice, "If this matter is discovered, you and I...how should we deal with ourselves?"

"The lake is already frozen, and I'm afraid I won't be able to go back." She looked at his figure with longing eyes. The depression and loneliness of these days can only be dispelled when she is with him.

Everyone in the harem is ruthless, she finally found a sincere emotion, and she is unwilling to let go no matter what, even if it is only a few months.

She said sincerely: "My lord, stay here, there are still a few houses in this vanity state to live in."

"Ridiculous!" Ze Zuo suppressed his anger and snorted. He closed his eyes and shook his hands angrily. He grabbed the clothes on the shelf and went out.

Seeing this, she also got up, put on her clothes and followed out.

The wind and snow had stopped outside, so she walked very quickly, and was hidden among the white snow. She hurriedly walked towards the water bank. After an unknown amount of time, she finally saw the lonesome black man under the whiteness. figure.

The surface of the lake has really frozen over, like a mirror, reflecting Zezuo's almost collapsed expression.

He couldn't believe that he did such a disdainful thing to Lin Qingyu, complicated emotions surged in his heart, and finally there was a sound of a sword being drawn like a crane, and he sent the sword to his chest without hesitation.

At this moment, Lin Qingyu firmly grasped the blade of the sword, and the tip of the sword was less than half an inch embedded in the flesh of his chest.The strange touch spread to the palm of his hand along with the blade, and he looked up in astonishment, only to see Lin Qingyu still clutching the blood-stained sword tightly, his voice trembling: "My lord just kept warm with me last night, and didn't do anything out of the ordinary. Act of…"

Zeyu was stunned, quickly dropped his sword, took out a handkerchief and wrapped it in Lin Qingyu's palm, and said in a low voice, "But the skin-to-skin relationship between a man and a woman is already very out of line."

"My lord kept his own rules, but what did he get? Didn't the emperor still want to take your flesh and blood as an offering?" Her voice was calm, and she grasped the veil tightly: "Now the emperor can't break the ice to come. , this vanity state is still safe, adults might as well experience the life here?"

"It's not polite!" Zeyu's voice was decisive.

"But my lord can't paddle back to Xuanming city, right?" She smiled slightly, "Qingyu and your lord are already so close, what could be more impolite?"

Then he turned his back, his cheeks were as red as persimmons.

She looked at the knotted palms, rubbed her thumbs on the knuckles that were stung by the cold wind, and said, "Since it has come, it will be safe. My lord, go back to the house and apply medicine earlier. Although the wound is shallow, if it is not cleaned, it will be fine." It will get worse." She took a few steps forward, and her voice was calm: "The house on the west side is not inhabited yet, I will let Mo'er take care of it, and then adults can live there temporarily."

Zezu didn't reply, just nodded as if in compromise.

She smiled slightly, turned around and looked at the sky covered with hoarfrost, looking far away.

The heart that had been dusty for a long time was completely awakened in this icy world at this moment.

When Mo'er went to clean up the house in the morning, the shock and fear on her face were indescribable. On the bed, the man's jade pendant and Lin Qingyu's sachet were in the same place, as if they were entwined, extremely intimate and ambiguous.

Lin Qingyu pushed open the door, walked straight to the cabinet next to the bed, took out a box of medicine used to treat wounds from sword cuts, and wiped it on herself carefully.

"Sister, you and Zeyou guard him, he..." Mo'er stammered and couldn't speak, she tried her best to calm down, and turned to look at Lin Qingyu's injured palm, "Why is sister injured!"

She didn't answer, but quietly took the medicine, and then handed the medicine box to Mo'er: "Later, you go to the house on the west side to clean up, and give this medicine to Zeyu as well."

Mo'er's mind went blank for an instant, and she asked tremblingly, "Zei's guards didn't go back?"

She said it lightly and casually: "The lake has frozen, so you can only leave when spring begins."

"But this is not polite. There are no outsiders in Huahua State. If you let the guards stay here, the news will spread..."

"It's not polite, but even if you don't follow the rules, it's still a dead end!" She frowned and looked at Mo'er, her tone solemn: "Do you know why the emperor wants me to return to the palace? It is to use my flesh and blood to cure Mu Pingting! It's just because my birth date matches what Linxian Palace said! He was afraid of the world's criticism and dared not take blood rashly, so he used this method to deceive me."

Mo'er dejectedly said: "How could this be..."

"If it were before, I would never believe it. It's just that the emperor is so cold. He even took blood from his personal guards. If it wasn't for the severe cold and freezing of the lake, I'm afraid he would take me back immediately. The palace is a medicine primer!" Her voice no longer had the slightest warmth, only the bone-piercing coldness and freezing like ice and snow remained.

Mo'er didn't even think about it, she said firmly, "I will do whatever my sister wants."

She nodded with relief, and sighed: "Before the beginning of spring, we must make preparations. If not, we will be meat on the felt board after returning to the palace, and we can only be slaughtered."

"What about the guard? Do we... want to cooperate with him?"

She stroked the soft and thick snow-white window paper with her fingers, smiled faintly like snowflakes in the wind, and said: "Loyal minister, it's hard to turn back. Let him go, and maybe he will wake up when he really sees the emperor clearly."

In order to avoid suspicion, she asked Mo'er to instruct Shun Xian and De Ji to move to the small courtyard in Taolin, Dongtou, and Mo'er made three meals and asked Zeyi to share them with them.

Above the dining table, except for the sound of eating, nothing else can be heard, and Zeyu is always in a state of depression, and he uses it slowly and rarely.

After dinner, Zezu and the two remained silent.

Seeing this, Lin Qingyu felt regretful.

Why does she insist on dragging people into the water if she doesn't do what she wants?Could it be that his selfishness is too heavy, the two of them are just "friends", but they are going to be in such an embarrassing situation.

Thinking of this, Lin Qingyu tossed and turned completely unable to fall asleep.She stood up abruptly, looked at the dark night where she could not see her fingers, grabbed the wall with her hands, and sighed sadly.

She opened the quilt, lit the oil lamp and sat on the stool, took out the pile of medicinal herbs under it, dumped them all on the table, and carefully flipped through the medicinal books.

She remembered that there was a kind of spider poison combined with poisonous weeds, which could make people radiant for a short time, but the inside was corroded, and it would be difficult to know the traces of poisoning in the body unless a poison expert carefully examined it.

And this kind of poison, dormant in the body on weekdays, can still make the skin look good and rosy day by day, but after accumulating for a certain period of time, it will completely collapse from the inside to the outside, and the death is extremely ugly.

Before the poison occurs, the blood and five internal organs in the body will show signs of being intact, even full of vitality.

She also found that specific poisonous spider in Vanity Fair.

At that time, she went to Vanity State to collect firewood as usual, and found that the bushes were densely covered with poisonous insects, such as scorpions, centipedes, and green snakes. Fierce and dexterous, he swallowed many kinds of poisonous insects in a row.

She once heard that poisonous insects devour each other, they use poison to supplement poison, and they practice poisonous gu.And this poisonous spider is the most poisonous "king". She also happened to know how to catch this poisonous insect, so she caught it directly, and then went to catch some insects to feed this spider every half a month.

Opening the brocade box now, the spider inside is getting rounder and rounder, and next to the huge and bright abdomen is the corpse of the insect.

Extracting spider venom cannot be as intense as extracting snake venom. Spiders are too small to collect drops of venom, so they can only use a medium to extract the poison, and then crush the poisoned medium together with the poisonous weeds before using it.

The moment the lid was opened, the spider hadn't reacted until Lin Qingyu threw a worm in, and it pounced on the worm, injected its venom, and devoured it greedily.

After it ingested it, Lin Qingyu pulled out the black worm carcass, crushed it, added a lot of poisonous weeds, and finally collected the powder.

Although it was the first time for her to do such a thing, she seemed to be at ease. She carefully put away the medicine powder, and immediately felt a lot of peace of mind.

If she hadn't been pushed to the extreme, she would not have used this poison on anyone, but Mu Pingting was really deceiving people too much.Since she wanted to take her flesh and blood, she had no choice but to retaliate with this poison.

Originally, she studied medicine just to protect herself and save others.Now, they have begun to delve into the pharmacology of these harms, and how to murder others to poison people.

In the deep palace, the use of poison and medicine is decided by oneself, but those people choose the poison that harms others, and no one chooses the medicine that heals.

Each of them thought they had medicine to cure their diseases, but each of them was terminally ill and could not heal themselves.

This is really a great irony.

The night is like a venomous poison, which pulls the human soul into the dreamland to soak and wash it, and finally throws it back into the body.As if the world had never experienced anything, they opened their eyes to welcome the morning sun again.

Lin Qingyu got up and picked up the red garnet bracelet, which was given to her by the queen mother back then. The garnets were distinct and bright red like fire, and each was polished exquisitely and gorgeously, delicate and simple, because of her love, she wore it. Even the connecting gold chains are somewhat smooth after being stroked by hands.

Garnet nourishes blood and skin care, she has been wearing it all the time, and now her plain clothes and face are the only ones that are bright and bright.

Looking at the bracelet, she somehow remembered the lotus jade bracelet that Xuan Yin had given her.

After she threw the water lotus hairpin into the Fuqu pool, she left the bracelet on the way to Huahua state.

Her expression was as mournful as a weeping willow, and she said earnestly: "Scholar's procrastination, you can still say it. Women's procrastination, you can't say it. I used to memorize this song "Mang" the most familiar, but now the time has passed and the situation has changed." Think again..."

Mo'er was filling up the washing water and came in. Seeing that Lin Qingyu was in love with the scene, she stepped forward to comfort her and said, "Sister, the past has already happened, and we must look forward from now on."

Lin Qingyu sneered angrily: "I'm just not worth it for myself. The person who trusted me in the past really pushed me into the abyss with his own hands. How can I not forget it?"

Mo'er said: "People in the harem are sinister. After all, Concubine Jin has a friendship with her sister since she was a child, so there will be a distance, but if everyone in the harem holds their distance like this, they will never get their sincerity, and they will never get it." Allies forever."

Lin Qingyu said indifferently: "In this harem, only the word "benefit" is extremely important. You see, Yu Chang came to me in the wind and snow in order to send a sachet that day... Who wouldn't feel pity for such a sincere heart? But such sincerity, I'm afraid it's all done for profit."

Mo'er shook her head and said, "I think Yu Changzai may not be looking for her sister for profit, after all, Concubine Chang and Concubine Jin were favored that day, so why did she want to find her sister?"

"I don't want to tell whether it's true or not." She sighed, looked at the bright garnet bracelet in her hand, and said, "When I return to the palace this time, I must first find a good ally."

"That's right, it's really not worthwhile to fight alone in the harem." Mo'er paused for a moment, then asked in confusion, "But who does my sister want to cooperate with? Concubine Lan, Concubine Jin and Concubine Chang are all together now, In addition to Concubine Min, there are some low-ranking Changzai promises, and Fu promises to have an enmity with her sister, and Yu Changzai is also afraid that she already has an ally."

She shook her hands and said with a light smile: "In this harem, only status and rights are everything. Favor is only temporary, and only real rights will never be shaken." Her eyes lit up, and she said Tai Ran: "The Empress has always hoped that all flowers will bloom, rather than a single flower. If it is a harem, there is nothing wrong with surrendering to the Empress first."

"But sister, how can I guarantee that the Empress and Concubine Jin are not on good terms? What if..." Mo'er stopped her voice, and whispered, "Why don't you try to find someone new?"

She immediately refused: "The foundation of the newcomers is unstable. If I want to form an alliance, I need to spend time helping them. Now, the only way out is to surrender to the queen."

"But will the Empress help us deal with Concubine Jin and the others?"

"Of course, because she is the empress, and also because she is the emperor's first wife."
