Resourceful beauty

Chapter 150

"My lord, are you awake? What's wrong?"

Concubine Shen's alarm awakened Fang Ruxuan, who was crouching by the table, and Fang Zhengjun, who was dozing in the armchair.

Looking up, King Qi had already sat up at some point, with his hands on the edge of the bed, as if he wanted to stand up, seeing Concubine Shen and a pair of children looking at him, Concubine Shen's eyes were reddened and she was about to cry in an instant , King Qi smiled, stretched out his right hand and beckoned at her, "Come here and help me up, I've been lying down for a few days, my bones are all stiff."

Concubine Shen raised her sleeves to wipe away the tears that hadn't fallen, and stepped forward to support King Qi. On one side, Fang Ruxuan hurriedly went to support the other side. King Qi stood up and walked around the table twice before he got rid of the support of the two. , It took him another cup of tea before he breathed out and said, "This feeling of the living dead is really uncomfortable."

"Father, do you know what happened these days?"

Fang Zhengjun followed behind and asked.

King Qi sneered and said, "How could I be so obtuse and unaware of being plotted against? These days, although I'm unconscious, my ears are still working, so I know exactly what happened. However, the inside of my body is sometimes hot and cold, it seems to be frozen and roasted by fire, every part of my body is stiff, and I can't even move my mouth, it's really cruel."

"Dad is the trick in the main hall?"

Su Yuan had always been suspicious, Fang Ruxuan asked for proof.

A look of pain flashed in King Qi's eyes, and after a while, he nodded and said, "I came back from Qiutang Club, and I couldn't eat anything, so I drank a bowl of hangover soup, went to bed and drank a bowl of tea, and then stayed overnight. It was so itchy and unbearable that there were tens of thousands of insects crawling in his body, but he couldn’t speak a word until dawn, and then he began to sweat profusely, and then passed out. Thinking about it, it was not the problem of hangover soup, but the bowl Because of the tea."

Until now, King Qi couldn't figure out why Su Yuan would harm him.

She is Qi Wang's successor concubine who has been granted the imperial edict, and she is also the mother of three children, but now, she will join forces with outsiders to play tricks on herself.

Although there is no confirmation of who that person is, King Qi has already thought through it during the past few days and nights in a coma, and he probably has something to do with King Lu. If this is the case, then Su Yuan could escape Jiangbei smoothly when he was framed as treason and collaborating with the enemy that year. Qi Wangfu, I'm afraid it's not that simple.

One by one, one by one, thinking back now, King Qi realized that he, the princess who took care of the housework for her children, didn't know anything about him.

I thought she was a gentle and docile sheep, but now it seemed that she was a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, waiting until the most critical moment to pounce on him and give him a fatal blow.

If Fang Ruxuan hadn't decisively moved him to the Nuanxiang Palace, and then tried his best to find someone to save her, perhaps, the self lying in the Yixin Palace would be a cold corpse now.

It was the first time that he felt so close to the enemy. In King Qi's heart, there was no worry or fear, only endless disappointment and resentment.

On the side, Concubine Shen paid close attention to King Qi's expression. Seeing his painful face, she was afraid that his recovering body would not be able to bear it. Today, the prince is also hungry, right? The concubine ordered the small kitchen to cook some rice porridge, and the prince should eat a few mouthfuls and sleep well."

Looking at Concubine Shen with relief, King Qi nodded and told Concubine Shen, "Don't reveal anything."

With just one thought, Concubine Shen understood King Qi's meaning, and Fang Zhengjun and Fang Ruxuan also nodded.

Separately, Concubine Shen went to the small kitchen and ordered them to prepare porridge and order side dishes. Fang Zhengjun and Fang Ruxuan went to thank the people who were still waiting in the main hall. Among them, Daoist Jiang sat cross-legged in a chair and meditated. They all looked sleepy, but he seemed to have had a good night's sleep and was indescribably refreshed.

Hearing that King Qi had woken up, Daoist Jiang got up and went to the inner hall, checked King Qi's pulse, and prescribed a prescription, which he said was gentle and tonic. Fang Zhengjun also carefully put it away and ordered people to take the medicine.

After the fuss was over, the sky outside was gradually getting brighter. Fang Ruxuan went to Longxue Palace to bring Ruan Niang's son. Together with Fang Zhengjun, they thanked Ye Changfeng and others.

Jiang Daochang stayed at King Qi's request.

When the first twilight appeared in the sky, Fang Zhengjun went out to be on duty. Fang Ruxuan had breakfast with King Qi, and told him what he had said a few days ago when a servant came to visit him. He smiled and said: "I knew that the job in Northwest Daying would not last long, but I didn't expect that it would be missed so quickly. If so, I might as well hand it over earlier. I'm worried every day."

When he said this, King Qi's eyes kept falling on Concubine Shen and Fang Ruxuan.

Concubine Shen smiled and lowered her head. To her, it was more important than anything else that King Qi could wake up and be safe.

Fang Ruxuan looked at her father and asked: "Who is the person who harmed you, you probably know it well, now, what do you think we should do?"

King Qi put down the bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth and said, "I have already asked Daoist Jiang, the Gu worm is kept in the potion, and it is no different from when it was in my body, so I begged him, these few days, he I will do some work on that Gu worm, when the time comes, you all find a way to catch the person who played the Gu, and then, let's think about it in the long run."

This is exactly what Fang Ruxuan meant, she nodded, looked back at the sky and said: "In half an hour, the princess will come to see you, father, go back to bed quickly, lest she see any clues .”

King Qi's hand loosened and then tightened, and in the end, without saying anything, he got up and lay back on the bed.

Concubine Shen called someone in to collect the dishes, and just as she sat down, the voices of maids greeting Su Yuan came from the yard. Fang Ruxuan and Concubine Shen looked at each other, and each went about its own business.

When Su Yuan arrived at the inner hall, the situation in the inner hall was no different from the past.

King Qi was sweating profusely and his face was bloodless, Concubine Shen wiped his sweat with a handkerchief and applied it to his forehead with a tired face, while Fang Ruxuan, sitting motionless by the bed and watching like a clay sculpture, seemed to have even entered the hall. Do not know at all.

"Is the prince better?"

Su Yuan asked softly.

Leaning over to greet Su Yuan, Concubine Shen shook her head with embarrassment, "It burned all night, and it got better at dawn, but I still couldn't feed the medicine. The son came to see it, and said he would go to the palace again." Invite some imperial physicians to come over."

Concubine Shen, who was frowning, had a very bad complexion at the moment because of the non-stop service for days. In addition, she simply washed up but did not make up, which made Su Yuan seem a few years younger, with an overpowering aura.

Satisfied with the comparison, Su Yuan took a few steps towards the bed, as if she wanted to express her concern for the prince.

But when she thought of the Gu worm, Su Yuan seemed a little scared, after all, she just stood in front of the bed and looked at it, and told Concubine Shen about everything, before turning around and leaving the Nuanxiang Hall.

After Su Yuan left, Concubine Wu, Concubine Yun, and Concubine Zhu all came to see King Qi. Concubine Wu sat by the bed and wept unceasingly, Concubine Zhu persuaded in a low voice. He hugged Brother Ping who was playing with biting his fingers in his arms, let him lie beside King Qi, and begged him to wake up earlier.

The attitudes of the concubines and concubines in the palace can be clearly seen at this moment.

Said that King Qi would notify everyone immediately if there was any movement, and let them go back to have a good rest. Concubine Shen and Fang Ruxuan sent everyone away.

After waking up again, King Qi hesitated for a long time, but finally couldn't hold back, looked at Fang Ruxuan and asked, "Xuan'er, tell me, your mother...would..."

King Qi's conjecture is exactly what Su Yuan has done, but there is no real evidence, and if it is involved, it will not do anything to Su Yuan. At that time, it will only reveal too much that he has already seen this matter, making Su Yuan even more Guard against this.

Fang Ruxuan shook her head, "I haven't got the evidence yet."

King Qi was just guessing suddenly, but he didn't expect that Fang Ruxuan had already suspected this matter, and immediately, there were mixed feelings in his heart.

Su Xin's death was the most painful pain in King Qi's heart. Seeing her haggard little by little until the oil ran out and the lamp dried up, she dragged away like that, whether she herself or the people watching around her were full of heart. Heaviness and grief.

Now, such a suspicion suddenly appeared, King Qi only felt pain and hatred in his heart, and the hands beside him couldn't help clenching into fists.

Su Yuan...

Thinking of this name in his heart, King Qi's face was full of pain. After a while, his frowning brows relaxed a little bit, and King Qi turned to Fang Ruxuan, "Can you make arrangements for what you just said?"

Fang Ruxuan nodded, "Dad, don't worry, Daoist Jiang said, this is the simplest Gu poison, and the person who casts the Gu must not be too far away if he wants to control the Gu worms perfectly. Now, within a radius of a hundred feet, we have already arranged Daoist Jiang also went there personally, and by the time of the moonlight, we will be able to find out where that person is."

First, he stole away the tiger jade pendant that could dispatch troops from King Qi, and then used the trick of being seriously ill to deprive him of the control of the Northwest Camp. Step by step, it seemed to be carefully arranged. At this moment, King Qi and Fang Ruxuan were secretly guessing what King Lu would do next.

"Perhaps King Lu's actions are what the Holy Majesty likes to see, otherwise, he would not have seized power so quickly. Therefore, whether the Holy Majesty knows or doesn't know what King Lu did, it is all in accordance with his own preferences. To express his loyalty again, you said, what is he asking for when he returns to Beijing this year?"

Fang Ruxuan asked thoughtfully.

King Qi fell into deep thought, and after a while, he said in a deep voice, "Military power."

Since ancient times, for those who seize power, both military strength and financial resources are indispensable.

Ningbei is bitterly cold. For so many years, the king of Lu has been crying for poverty every year. The court's taxes on Ningbei have been reduced again and again, but what King Qi learned is that the taxes paid by King Lu to his jurisdiction have not decreased at all.

It can be seen that for so many years, the financial resources accumulated by King Lu must be amazing.

Since King Lu has the intention of replacing him, the most important thing for him now is to recruit troops.

It is not known how many soldiers King Qi trained in the secret camp established by Ningbei, but if he were him, what he would do would be to ask for more troops from the Holy One, right?
Even if it is only [-] million, it can reduce the strength of the holy master by one point, and one will change. Today's King Lu is far from what he used to be.
