Return after the poison of rebirth

Chapter 217

The color of the cardamom on the fingertips faded a little, the queen stretched out her plump fingers and placed them by the tub, and two maids stepped forward to re-dye them for her.

One of the maids with a charming and dexterous face looked at the traces on the queen's body, and couldn't help but chuckled, "Your Majesty, how about the priest serving you?"

The queen smiled lazily, "Not bad, much better than those fat and useless ministers!"

"Your maidservant is also looking at it. When the priest left just now, he was still walking in a hurry! And there are so many marks on the empress, other ministers can't get them out!" The maid covered her red lips and smiled coquettishly.

The flirtatious beauty in the bathtub raised the corners of her mouth coldly, "I won't forget Princess Yu'er even after I got Ben Gong's body! Such an infatuated and single-minded man really makes people love and hate at the same time."

The maid couldn't help being surprised, "How did your empress see it?"

The queen opened her charming and natural peach blossom eyes, and brushed the wound on her neck with her fingertips, "He and Princess Yu'er are childhood sweethearts, and I want to send her to get married, how can he be at ease! You go to Yuhua Palace to watch later, Look at what Zhaoyue said to her. If Zhaoyue is soft-hearted and ruins Bengong's plan, Yu'er will not be able to keep this girl. If she keeps her, Zhaoyue will not be able to willingly submit to Bengong's body. Listen to what I say. What I need is not a soft-hearted man with strong opinions, what I want is a puppet who can satisfy me and be obedient."

The maid who was holding the queen's catkin just paused for a while, and then said seriously and respectfully: "This servant will definitely keep an eye on it..."

He Lianyu's anger on that side subsided a little, and when he heard that the priest came to Yuhua Palace to look for her again, he quickly asked the maid to let him in.The priest has a noble status and must keep the precepts all his life so that he cannot be emotional, so he can move freely in the harem.

After a while, the court lady led Zhaoyue in a white robe into the inner hall.After seeing him, He Lianyu pouted, feeling wronged and sad, and called out to him coquettishly, "Brother Zhaoyue..."

After so many years, only Princess Yu'er made mistakes when she was young, and she would call him "Brother Zhaoyue" in a tender and pitiful voice when she asked him for something.

The sound of "Brother Zhaoyue" was like the April spring breeze blowing over his heart, and it was also like a cold dagger cutting the soft flesh at the tip of his heart.

The years have passed, the years have passed, and things have changed for a long time.

He rolled his eyes to ease the astringency in his eyes.

Seeing Zhaoyue, He Lianyu's reaction was a bit strange. In the past, when he called him that, he would show a subtle but happy expression, while the person in front of him had a numb face, and even suspicious bloodshot flushes in his eyes.

Seeing Zhaoyue's reaction, He Lianyu thought he was angry with herself, "Brother Zhaoyue, what's wrong with you? I didn't mean to contradict the queen. I really don't want to be sent to get married. Brother Zhaoyue You don't want me to be sent, do you?"

He Lianyu stretched out his hand to pull Zhaoyue's arm, but he didn't want to be dodged by him.On Zhaoyue's face, a pair of brows were deeply furrowed, he felt that he was dirty, too dirty to be touched by He Lianyu again.

He betrayed everything, betrayed the moon god, betrayed the king, and betrayed his little princess.

I can't go back, I can't go back to everything!Now he can only follow the queen's words, otherwise, he will be ruined and die without a place to bury him.

He Lianyu's hand froze in the air, and after being shocked, she slowly retracted it, and a line of tears slowly fell, soaking the veil on her face, "Zhaoyue, are you going to send me to be married too? Why don't you even You also listen to the queen! Before, you broke off a hand for me and your willingness... Zhaoyue, you have changed!"

The current Zhaoyue is like a shell that has been hollowed out by someone. When looking at her, there is no burning light in her eyes anymore.He Lianyu felt terrified, her father was ill, and Zhaoyue refused to help her anymore, could she just be sent to get married, spend the rest of her life with the emperor of Dongling, and never return to her hometown!

Do not!She doesn't want to!

From nowhere, He Lianyu took out a dagger and put it across her neck, with a sad and hopeless smile on her face, "If you want to send me to be married, send my dead body!"

Zhaoyue's numb face was finally moved, the blood in her eyes deepened, and she said hoarsely, "Princess, you don't have to!"

"I don't want to serve the emperor of Dongling!" He Lianyu screamed in a shrill voice, "I am the princess of Nanzhao, the treasure in the hands of the emperor. I am not a tool for you to exchange! I would rather fight the flames of the world and I would not sacrifice my own happiness."

This mournful cry sounded like a sharp knife cutting through his heart and lungs.

Zhaoyue took out a strangely shaped wooden box from her sleeve and handed it to He Lianyu, "Leave Nanzhao! Nanzhao is about to change, it may not be safe for you to stay here. Princess, if you still believe me, I will do my best to make your wish come true.”

He Lianyu looked at him with tears in her eyes, and took the wooden box.After opening the wooden box, she couldn't help showing a look of surprise.This is the treasure of the Great Hall of Worship.

"Zhaoyue, you..." She gripped the wooden box tightly, not knowing what to say.

Zhaoyue looked at her deeply, her eyes moved, "If you get rid of the poison on his body, he may treat you wholeheartedly. Regarding the marriage, I will find a way to ask the Queen Mother to marry you to the King of Nanling."

"Zhaoyue..." The change from despair to hope was just a sentence, He Lianyu wanted to laugh, but the tears on her face became more intense.If it is said that people who treat her wholeheartedly, apart from her father, Zhaoyue is the only one left.

It's a pity that Zhaoyue has a special status, and the person she likes is not Zhaoyue.All she can give Zhaoyue is gratitude.

After Zhaoyue left from Yuhua Palace, a figure outside also disappeared.

In the queen's palace, the charming maid knelt on the ground obediently and reported: "I don't know what the priest said to the princess. The slaves are both happy and sad when they see the princess."

The queen looked at her newly dyed nails lightly, and said: "Are you agreeing to her and not letting her go to marry? Do you think that this palace favors him, so he can really make decisions for this palace?"

The maid shook her head, recalled it before continuing: "No. I just asked you to send Princess Yu'er to marry the King of Nanling."

The finger dyed with apricot-colored cardamom rested, and the queen shrugged her shoulders with a smile, "I said that Yu'er refused to go for a kiss even after she died, so she has someone in her heart. Who is the King of Nanling? Hehe, he is like a fairy in a painting." The man has good looks and wrists. I also want to have a one-night relationship with him! It's just that this kind of man has too high a vision, not ordinary flowers and plants can be seen, I'm afraid I will disappoint Yu'er girl."

The maid had never met the King of Nanling, so she didn't know how special the "immortal-like man in the painting" was in the Queen's mouth, so she just asked curiously: "Princess Yu'er looks not bad, so why can't she catch that man's eyes?"

He Lianyu's appearance is not bad, otherwise she wouldn't be called "beautiful jade and pearl".

The queen raised her red lips and smiled mischievously, "Although Yu'er's appearance is extremely beautiful, he is not overwhelming. If he was only attracted by beauty, he would not have been single for more than 20 years. There is no concubine. Anyone in a high position must be ruthless, without any weaknesses, either clean and self-sufficient, or playing with flowers. He belongs to the former, and this palace belongs to the latter, and this palace must have a man beside its pillow..."

"As long as you don't mind, marry or not, marry or not, it's just a play on the occasion, calculating gains and losses. Poor Yu'er in my palace, she is so innocent, thinking that marrying the man she likes will bring happiness." The queen's lips were soft. With a slight smile, a slight arc of sneer was drawn.

The maid looked at their queen and master, and asked, "What is your plan? I have fulfilled the princess' wish and sent her to Dongling to marry the King of Nanling?"

The queen didn't care at all and said: "It doesn't matter who you marry, the important thing is to let her leave Nanzhao, in exchange for a truce, and don't appear in front of this palace again. This palace will not be so kind. If Emperor Dongling likes her, he will We can only give her to Emperor Yuxuan. Of course, it is also a good choice to give her to the King of Nanling, who made that man a hero with great achievements. If he can change the dynasty in the future, it will be a good deal!"

"Let the artist draw two portraits, one for Emperor Yuxuan and one for King Nanling. Whoever likes it will prepare to marry Princess Yu'er to her."

After the maid kneeling at the queen's feet got the order, she left the palace and handed it over to the people below to hurry up.

……

Who dares to neglect the Queen's order? Within a few days, the portrait has been painted. The woman in the painting has beautiful and pure eyebrows, delicate and thin eyebrows like distant mountains, bright eyes like autumn moon, and snow-white powder. With a tender complexion and a well-proportioned and delicate face, she is really like a magnolia flower in bud.

After the portrait was sent to the Dongling Palace, there was no rumor about it, even Emperor Yuxuan didn't know about it.

This portrait was directly sent to Fengyi Palace in secret all the way through the hands of the Queen Mother's cronies.

In Fengyi Palace, the Empress Dowager practiced calligraphy when she had nothing to do, and she didn't dare to disturb the portrait when it was delivered, so she just put it on the pineapple table outside the study.

On the snow-white rice paper, there are four imposing characters "Haiyan Heqing" written in thick ink.

The Empress Dowager Changde was quite satisfied with it, so she put down the Langhao brush in her hand for a while, and asked Nanny Chang to hold it aside to dry.

Holding the ink ingot with her fingers upturned in the armor, she paused slightly, "How is Qingluo these days? Did you still go crazy and kill the servants?"

After Mammy Chang spread out the rice paper, she sighed softly.

Ever since Princess Qingluo was insulted by the refugees, she has been insane, and no man can get close to her. Once she gets close to the princess, she will scream and use her sharp weapons to hurt others.Even if it is a woman, the princess looks a little more beautiful, and the princess seems to be stimulated to ruin her face, and the maids serving her do not know how many times her appearance was ruined when the princess fell ill.

Nanny Chang replied: "The princess has been groggy after taking the calming medicine brewed by the imperial hospital for the past few days, but she is quiet and did not hurt anyone."

The queen mother put down the ink ingot in her hand, "It can make her sleepy and quiet for a while, but it can't make her sleepy and quiet for a lifetime."
