Slave to Queen: One Night Bride

Chapter 223 The Witch Doctor
The ladies were very happy, thinking that no matter how capable Wang Junhua was, he was inferior to others and mistook the perch for a sturgeon.Concubine Pan Xian laughed: "I just said, there are only three in the imperial palace, how could you have dozens of them? It turned out to be a mistake, hahaha..."

In the laughter of the concubines, Wang Junhua quickly laughed at himself, secretly admiring her husband's strategy.Because of this, the ladies not only didn't hold her grudge against her, but because of this "joke" she made, they found this woman even more interesting.

On this day, as soon as Zhao Deji left his study, he heard the announcement from the little eunuch: "Officials, the Eldest Princess asks to see you."

Looking at the bright early summer sun outside, Zhao Deji was also very affectionate to the returned younger sister, so he said: "Set tea in the imperial garden, I want to drink tea with the eldest princess."

"Yes."

A jade table is placed under a huge ancient pagoda tree.It is the season of the fragrance of Sophora japonica, and it is cool and fragrant under the tree.There are eight-color refreshments on the table, which are very delicate.

Zhao Deji took a few glances at his sister who hadn't seen him this year, and sighed: "Tianwei, these are the pastries you liked before. When my mother came to see your mother and daughter, she always made some pastries to take with her. You should eat more."

Tears filled Tianwei's eyes: "Thank you Brother Jiu for remembering the past..." She casually picked up a piece of walnut cake, "This was my favorite in the past, I thought I would never eat it again in this life..."

Zhao Deji saw that she was like in the past, every time he saw dim sum, he always stretched out his hand to the walnut cake first, and his heart was very sad.

Tianwei ate a piece of pastry, and then slowly said: "When I fled back to the border, I saw Mrs. Yue..."

Zhao Deji asked, "How is Hua Rong doing now?"

She shook her head: "Very bad."

Zhao Deji looked a little sad: "Oh, Rong'er, I don't know if she can escape this disaster..."

Tianwei looked at him carefully and saw that his concerned expression did not seem to be fake, so she slowly said: "When Mrs. Yue was on an envoy to the Kingdom of Jin, she once showed her skills at the captives' "Shooting Willow Festival". I don’t know if she mentioned this to Brother Jiu? At that banquet, there were Qin Hui and his wife as guests..."

Zhao Deji smiled: "Oh? Rong'er wrote a letter saying that Qin Hui and his wife are the work of the fourth prince, and they want to mess up my country. Rong'er is overwhelmed..."

Tian Wei couldn't bear it any longer, and hurriedly said: "Ninth Brother doesn't know something, Mrs. Yue is loyal, and she definitely doesn't worry too much."

"I also know that Rong'er is only thinking about the country and society. Alas, I really hope that his illness will recover soon, and I still need his husband and wife to serve the court. Especially Yue Pengju..."

Tianwei heard that Ninth Brother still believed in Yue Pengju and wanted to use it again, and hope rose in her heart: "When I was a slave in the fourth prince's mansion, I saw Qin Hui and his wife coming in and out of the fourth prince's mansion. There is an affair, Qin Hui is his military adviser, Brother Jiu, you must beware of these two people, they are ambitious..."

"Tianwei, you just came back and are tired. Why worry about state affairs? How can a mere Qin Hui escape from my grasp?"

"Ninth brother, Qin Hui is definitely not as ethical as he is for fame and reputation. He also took bribes. Let's take the banquet last night as an example. The palace only had three sturgeons, but Wang Junhua actually said that her family had dozens. This What is bribery if it is not a magistrate?”

Zhao Deji laughed loudly: "What are you talking about? Miss Wu told me a joke when she brought me ginseng soup earlier. She said that Qin Hui's wife was vulgar and ignorant, and mistakenly took a cheap perch for a sturgeon. Li Gui became Li Kui, it wasn't Qin Hui's embezzlement, but Wang's eagerness to show off made a joke...hahaha..."

Tianwei couldn't make a sound.

Seeing Brother Jiu smiling so happily, she didn't understand what was so funny about it.As soon as the vest cooled down, he only vaguely realized that today's Ninth Brother is really not the former Ninth Brother.

As for Qin Hui and his wife's methods, they are becoming more and more sophisticated.

She didn't say anything anymore, and even the walnut cake on the table lost its original deliciousness.She only watched the Sophora japonica flowers being blown down by the wind, covering the walnut petal by petal.

When she returned to the princess mansion, Wanwan was still waiting.

Because of Wanwan's bad temper, she would say in front of Ninth Brother that she doesn't want to see Wang Junhua from time to time, so Ninth Brother gradually didn't want to see her, and she hasn't been summoned for a long time.

Seeing Tianwei's return, Wanwan hurriedly asked, "How's the situation? Does Ninth Brother believe it?"

Tian Wei silently shook her head.After drinking a cup of tea, she told Wanwan about today's situation.

Wanwan was so angry that she almost jumped up: "I really don't know what kind of monsters that couple are, they made me so mad."

Tianwei put down the teacup slowly, lost her mind for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Madam Yue is still blessed, I just hope they never come back, never come back!"

Twilight falls.

A spring evening carries the fragrance of flowers.

This is a secluded cottage filled with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants.The flowers and herbs are mostly red and yellow, but the surrounding flowers are mostly green, blue and even black.Rao King Qin was always bold and didn't dare to get too close, Ma Su said quietly: "In addition to flowers and plants, there are many strange insects in every witch doctor's house. If you don't like it, you will die..."

Carrying a big knife, Qin Dawang carefully pushed aside the flowers and plants blocking the way, for fear of getting a little bit of it.

This witch doctor is very unknown, and it was Ma Su who inquired about it by chance.The witch doctor has been in seclusion for a long time, and it took a long time for everyone to inquire before they got the chance to meet.

Finally passing through the layers of "flower and grass barriers", King Qin stood in front of the black gate, holding a big knife, and stood there for a while.I don't know what it's like in my heart. In the blink of an eye, it's two early summers, from the sea to the Kingdom of Jin. I didn't expect that one day I would stand in front of the witch doctor's door.

Ma Su whispered: "My lord, after we get the things, we can go back."

He didn't make a sound.Holding only the back of the knife, he knocked three times on the black door.

The door opened, and Ma Su couldn't help taking a step back.I saw an old man as thin as a bird's claw, with a face like a skeleton covered in skin.

King Qin didn't take it seriously, and just bowed: "Please give me medicine, sir."

The witch doctor rolled his eyes a few times: "You have been here eighteen times."

Every time the two came, they didn't see anyone, but they were even more surprised when they heard that what he said was exactly the same.

He stared at King Qin, and King Qin couldn't help feeling chilly.

"It's not difficult to get medicine, but you have to do one thing for me."

"whats the matter?"

"Don't ask more, I will tell you when the time comes."

Ma Su felt that this place was too weird, and was about to remind King Qin to be careful, but King Qin laughed loudly: "Okay, no matter what, I promise you. It can't be more powerful, but I just want my head."

The witch doctor nodded, took out something from his bosom, King Qin took it, looked at it twice, put it in his bosom, bowed, turned and left.

The wind blows from the forest. Although it is midsummer, it doesn't feel much heat.Two or three kilometers in front of the wooden house, there is a small stream full of mountain flowers, and there are wild ducks wandering in it from time to time.

It was the first time that Yue Pengju took his wife to travel such a "long distance" to play, and she couldn't do it herself.For him, this is great news.

There was a huge bearskin spread on the grass, Hua Rong sat on it, surrounded by some fresh wild fruits, and Yue Pengju hunted two wild ducks with arrows, and set up a fire to roast them. At that time, the wild duck was already half-cooked, emitting a sizzling aroma, and the rolling fat dripped on the fire, and even the fire became fragrant.

A large field of wildflowers and weeds bloomed in front of him, surrounded by lush greenery. Little Lu Wenlong had already changed into a single shirt, and was running around chasing flowers and butterflies in small tiger leather sandals.He was holding a net bag in his hand, which Yue Pengju woven for him out of tree bark.He netted a lot of butterflies and ran back, giggling to show his mother, and then opened the net bag, the butterflies flew away; he laughed and ran to pick wild flowers.

At this time, Hua Rong's head was already covered with colorful wild flowers. He leaned behind her, hugged her neck with a giggle, and kept shouting: "Mom, don't move, there are still many flowers!" Woolen cloth……"

Hua Rong just sat there, letting his little hands mess up her hair without moving.Hua Rong was wearing a moon-white shirt, which Yue Pengju bought dozens of tiger and leopard skins in the town.After eating Ganoderma lucidum for almost a whole year, all the money in the family was spent on Ganoderma lucidum, and Yue Pengju basically relied on hunting for the rest of the expenses.

Hua Rong looked at the simple shirt on her body and the Jing hairpin on her head in the water of Linxi, and was very satisfied with such a life.Thinking about it carefully, although I was injured, this year was the best and cleanest day in my life. I was carefree every day, relying on my husband, really "marrying a man, marrying a man, dressing and eating."

Yue Pengju turned the duck over a few more times, and Lu Wenlong couldn't hold it any longer. He squeaked and squeaked. He didn't care about the flowers on his mother's head, so he jumped over and kissed him: "Daddy, can I eat it?" ?”

"it is okay……"

These days, Yue Pengju likes to make many gadgets for him, catch flowers, birds, insects and fish, because of this, he is getting closer and closer to Yue Pengju, and even faintly surpasses his mother in intimacy with him.

When the child kissed, his face was full of saliva. Yue Pengju didn't care, took down a sizzling roast duck, wrapped it in a big lotus leaf collected next to him, tore off a big duck leg, and took out the prepared duck. The good wooden sticks were put on and handed to the son.Lu Wenlong giggled, but ran over first: "Mom, here you are..."

Hua Rong took the duck leg, Yue Pengju had already walked over, handed the other dressed duck leg to his son, sat down next to his wife, and ate the rest first.

The three of them ate with gusto, Yue Pengju looked at his wife's increasingly rosy face, and was very happy, Hua Rong saw her husband staring at her, reached out to wipe a piece of oily smoke from his face, and smiled sweetly: "Pengju, I think I'm much better now. "

After a long illness, he became a doctor. He has been with his wife for a long time, and he has almost become a doctor. He held his wife's hand, looked at her complexion, and nodded: "I will definitely recover."

In the distance, came the voice of a guard: "Mr. Yue..."

Yue Pengju stood up, and the guards brought Feng Yi, another personal eunuch of the emperor.Feng Yi and the two of them also knew each other, and they chatted from afar: "You two, it's been a long time, Mrs. Yue, how is your condition?"

"I have Lao Feng running around. Thank you for your hard work."

The three of them talked briefly, and Yue Peng held up the decree, which was originally some Ganoderma lucidum and a letter from the emperor.

Yue Pengju read it again and handed it to his wife.

Hua Rong saw that it was Zhao Deji's own handwriting. Apart from the usual greetings on her injury, it also said that the puppet regime of the Jin Kingdom and the puppet Qi Liu Yu's army had successively captured several counties and had a tendency to cross the Huaihe River to attack aggressively. .Although the letter did not mention that Yue Pengju should go back and return to his command immediately, but the meaning behind the words was fully revealed.After Hua Rong finished watching, she felt very uncomfortable. She took another look at Yue Pengju, and the husband and wife looked at each other. Then Yue Pengju said to Feng Yi: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, my wife is not recovering, and I can't repay the court's grace for the time being. I owe Your Majesty's grace." .”
