A Poisonous Woman from a Good Story

Besides, Marquis Shen, when his son was demoted and his daughter suffered misfortune, because it was their own fault, so even though they were sad in their hearts, they could barely restrain themselves.

Now that Mrs. Shen passed away, he was hit even more. Now that a person has passed away, right and wrong are no longer important. He only knows that the biological mother who gave birth to him has passed away, and he can no longer enjoy it. I felt the pain of my mother, and when I thought of my mother's departure, my heart was full of regret and remorse, and I became more and more sad.

So Shen Hou completely indulged himself into being sad, so as to escape the fact that in reality, because of his improper handling of things, the fate of several children was twisted and twisted, so when the old lady Shen passed away, he only grieved heartily in front of her soul. Crying, and leaving all the affairs to his son Shen Zhaoning and the steward.

Marquis Shen is always an old man, and after a few days, his bones will be broken. Seeing her husband like this, Mrs. Shen couldn't help feeling anxious and hurt.In addition, Mrs. Shen's health is not very good at this time, but for the sake of the eyes of the world and for her husband to feel better, no matter how poor her health is, she still has to struggle to abide by her duty as a daughter-in-law.

In this way, after Mrs. Shen was buried, both Marquis Shen and his wife fell ill.

As a daughter, when Shen Qiujun saw the eyes, she couldn't help but worry, so she sent the best imperial physician to treat her parents, and she also sent people to visit and consult several times a day.

Illnesses come and go like a mountain, and the illnesses go like spinning silk. Moreover, Shen Hou and his wife are old and depressed, so the illness is slow to go. After more than ten days, there is no improvement at all. .Shen Qiujun was extremely frightened, and hurriedly sent people to the south to ask Xin Xuehou to come to Beijing as soon as possible, and asked Zhuang Chengrong to put up a list and offer rewards for seeking medical treatment.

It turned out that as early as half a year ago, because Mr. Xin was getting old, he thought that his time might be running out, so he thought about returning to his roots, and he had already settled his enemies back then with the help of Zhuang Chengrong, so at this time No more fear of returning home.So he took his grandson's family back to the south.

Shen Qiujun saw that his parents' illness had not been relieved for many days, so he had to send someone to ask Xin Xuehou to go to Beijing quickly, but she no longer bound by the rules, and went to Yongning Hou Mansion to visit her parents from time to time. Even during the day, I waited in front of my parents.

At this time, Shen Qiujun was completely distracted by his parents, so he stopped paying attention to other things.So at this time, when Zhuang Chengrong proposed to go to the Jingya Villa and wear plain clothes to keep his filial piety for the Supreme Emperor, Shen Qiujun didn't fully take it to heart, but just told him to take good care of his body there, and then turned his attention to Shen's residence.

In fact, although most people in the world have to observe filial piety for their parents for three years, as an emperor, most of them don't have to stick to it.Because the country cannot be without a king for a day, for the sake of the state and society.There are also quite a few who have to endure grief and devote their energy to major national affairs. Therefore, some people only stay for one month because the state affairs cannot be abolished. .

And Zhuang Chengrong is obviously not in this list.Although the relationship between him and the Supreme Emperor seems acceptable on the surface, most of the ministers in the court are human beings.Just watching his father and son fight a few times, one can see that their father-son relationship is nothing more than that, and now that the Supreme Emperor has passed away for three or four months, there is really no need to pretend to be that dutiful son, and Zhuang Chengrong has never been too concerned about reputation People, now that the Supreme Emperor is gone, he is the only one in the world, and he doesn't have to play tricks on others anymore.

So if something goes wrong, there must be a demon. It's a pity that Shen Qiujun's heart is drawn by his parents' illness at this time, and he has always been extremely convinced of Zhuang Chengrong. He just thinks that he has his own plans, and Zhuang Chengrong only wants to block the world. Mouth.

Besides, before Zhuang Chengrong left, he handled all affairs in the court properly, saying that if there is no important matter, all matters can be discussed and decided by the crown prince and several important officials, if there is no very important and difficult matter, don't bother him Keep filial piety for the first emperor.

Shen Qiujun didn't think much about it, but Zhuang Chengrong was really relieved to see that his excuse did not make Shen Qiujun suspicious, and even had a faint joy of anticipation in his heart.

In fact, on that day, the Supreme Emperor passed away first, and then the Prince Xianwang's family lost their lives. In addition, the death of Mrs. Shen not long ago had a great impact on Zhuang Chengrong.

Because at this time he discovered that life is so short and impermanent. Even a high-ranking monarch, who was once called long live by others, has the same lifespan as ordinary people. Fifth watch, no matter how strong it is, it will never make money.

Zhuang Chengrong couldn't help thinking that he and Shen Qiujun had walked along the way, full of ups and downs and fears, and now that the overlord is gone, and those who should take revenge have also taken revenge. From now on, their husband and wife can finally live a peaceful and happy life. But suddenly found that half of their lives have passed, and the time they spend together is only 30 to [-] years. Zhuang Chengrong is very unwilling. How can this time be enough? He still wants to love Shen Qiujun for a hundred years and a thousand years Woolen cloth.

In addition, Shen Qiujun has been worrying about her parents' illness day and night during this time. She is not in the state of a young girl after all. After a long time, her face that was originally well maintained has become tired, and even the corners of her eyes are faintly bruised. fine lines.

Zhuang Chengrong saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart, which made him think that when sister Zhen said unscrupulously, "Shen Qiujun is old and she is still young", it is precisely because of Shen Qiujun's old age that she dared to get up. Replace the heart.

Zhuang Chengrong has always believed that Shen Qiujun is the best and most beautiful in the world, and she should be respected by the people of the world, but Shen Qiujun is a human being after all, not a god, and as time goes by, she is bound to grow old day by day, Zhuang Chengrong doesn't care that she gets old, But he can't bear others looking at Shen Qiujun with that kind of beauty's belated eyes, even if there is a little bit of pity and contempt on Shen Qiujun, he can't bear it, but unfortunately he has no way to stop the passage of time.

At this moment, Kong Miao, who was locked in the prison, sent a message to Zhuang Chengrong: He really couldn't bear life in prison, and he was willing to use the alchemy skills he had learned in his life to refine the medicine of immortality for the emperor, only to ask the emperor to let him go. He is free.

If it was in the past, Zhuang Chengrong would have smiled mockingly, then ignored him, and let Kong Miao suffer in prison. He provoked so many things, how could Zhuang Chengrong make him feel better?

It has to be said that Kong Miao proposed the elixir of life at the best time. Zhuang Chengrong's heart was not at peace at this time. People who live forever can still have the effect of prolonging life.

So Zhuang Chengrong brought Kong Miao out, Kong Miao was a lot more honest at this time, he didn't dare to make a big deal in front of Zhuang Chengrong, saying that the medicine of immortality is indeed not easy to refine, but the elixir of longevity can still be refined .

Zhuang Chengrong asked again: "Is there any art of eternal youth in the world?"

Kong Miao rolled his eyes, and asked a few tentative questions. Knowing that Zhuang Chengrong wanted the queen to stay young forever, he said: "There are not a few people who practice Taoism, but the empress is a person of the world. That's right, so I can only take the elixir refined by Pindao."

Zhuang Chengrong was overjoyed, and said empty-handedly: "Alchemy requires a quiet place that is inaccessible to people, and since the emperor asked for the elixir of eternal youth for the empress, the emperor should be able to refine it together with the poor Taoist priest, so as to show your strength." Only with sincerity can this elixir be more sure of success, if it is sincere, it can be refined in three to five months."

"These are easy to handle," Zhuang Chengrong said, and sneered for a while: "When the two kinds of elixirs are refined, I will let people try them. If you dare to make troubles in them, I will let you live or die."

Kong Miao said with a wry smile: "Pindao has tasted that taste a long time ago, and I don't want to try it again. I only hope that I can realize my ideal of Taoism as the state religion in my lifetime. If the emperor and the empress take the elixir and see the effect , It would be even better if the poor Taoist can be made a national teacher, and the poor Taoist can enjoy a bit of glory, wealth and high prestige."

Zhuang Chengrong snorted coldly: "As long as you don't play any tricks and refine the elixir honestly, I will keep you handy for these worldly things, but if you dare to play tricks again, don't think about it this time." Your life is alive, even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu comes to intercede, he will not be able to save you."

Kong Miao hurriedly responded, while Zhuang Chengrong began to prepare for alchemy.

In fact, Zhuang Chengrong was considered smart all his life, but he was confused for a while because of greed. He has always been the most careful and untrustworthy person, but now he is obsessed with ghosts and wants to refine medicine, but he listens to empty words. Putting it aside, he actually wanted to move to Zhuangzi to practice alchemy.

Of course, Zhuang Chengrong is so conceited because he has become the lord of the world these years, which is relatively smooth, and after he became the throne, he neither accepted concubines and selected palace ladies to disturb the people, nor built palaces and squandered them to increase taxes for the people. Zhuang Chengrong is ruthless, and the officials below dare not take advantage of the common people at will. At the moment, he is politically sound and harmonious, and is admired by the common people and praised by hundreds of officials. Under the daily praise, no matter how calm Zhuang Chengrong is, he can't help feeling a little elated.

At the same time, Zhuang Chengrong believes that people have selfish desires. Although he can't deal with Kong Miao, since Kong Miao wants to get the national teacher and wealth, he can only curry favor with him now. He was very sure, so he let it go, and was afraid that Shen Qiujun would dissuade him, but he didn't say anything to Shen Qiujun.

And because Shen Qiujun's thoughts were all on the illness of the Shens and his wife, Zhuang Chengrong couldn't help him much, so he decided to quietly refine the elixir first, and when Xin Xuehou came to Beijing, healed the illness of the Shenhous and his wife, and got rid of Shen Qiujun's illness. Worrying about something, and after Xin Xuehou checked the elixir for others to taste, he gave Shen Qiujun a big surprise.

So Zhuang Chengrong threw state affairs to his son in the name of keeping filial piety, while he hid in Jingya Villa to practice alchemy, so that some misunderstandings occurred, and the tragedy of father and son husband and wife almost happened.
