Broken Moon of Tibetan Love
Chapter 7
knock knock!
"Ling Qing, are you inside?" Ruan Suxue's voice sounded outside the door.
Ling Qing got up to open the door, Ruan Suxue was standing outside with a letter in her hand, smiling.
"I asked you what you asked me about last time."
Ling Qing turned sideways slightly, letting Ruan Suxue into the room.
"My sister's ancestors practiced medicine for eight generations, and everyone in the Ruan family is proficient in Qihuang, but they don't have much research on Gu, so I wrote a letter to ask a sister in Miaojiang."
As Ruan Suxue said, she sat down on the chair, reached out and handed the letter in her hand to Ling Qing.
Ling Qing unfolded it after receiving it, and Ruan Suxue explained it for him.
"My sister said that "Jidi" is indeed a kind of Gu, but it is not a Gu of the Miao people. I also heard that Huo Xian used "Jidi" to control the officials in the court when I was in the capital. I always thought it was a kind of Gu. The chronic onset of poison, but unexpectedly it turned out to be Gu.
"It is said that the Gu resides in the human brain and likes to eat the brain. The person who has been planted with the Gu will have paroxysmal headaches at first. Eat up and die."
Ling Qing nodded, and turned over a piece of letterhead, "Madam Qi, what do you mean by using drugs to restrain you?"
"It is to take a special medicine, which can temporarily restrain the poisonous Gu from its activities, so that the person who is planted with the Gu will not die immediately. Huo Xian uses this method to control the person who has been infected."
"Then the person who was bewitched will not be saved?"
"No..." Ruan Suxue denied, "If you pull out the Gu, you can restore it to the original state, but whoever planted the Gu's characteristics must be pulled out by this person, otherwise there is a certain danger, and the solution of "Jiji" probably In the whole world, only Huo Xian knows."
Ling Qing read the letter back and forth several times, and the scene when he saw Yuan Bugui for the first time came to mind. Yuan Bugui asked him many questions while taking his pulse.
"Mr. Qin, do you usually have a headache? It's just like a needle prick in the forehead. It doesn't take long, and you can recover in a moment."
"It's true."
"How long?"
"For a while."
"How often does it happen?"
"It can be as long as a few months, or as short as a few days..."
"Have you taken any restraint medicine?"
"Have……"
Ling Qing withdrew her thoughts, and asked again: "Madam Qi, did your sister tell you how to tell if a person has been lowered?"
Ruan Suxue thought for a while, "It seems that there will be a red line at the root of the fingernail of the person who has been infected by the Gu, but you can't see it unless you look closely."
Ling Qing raised his hand to look at his fingernails, there was nothing unusual...
But Yuan Bugui's questioning at that time, his occasional headache symptoms in those years, and the medicine Dongli Muyun gave him, and Yan Yunlie's mention of Qin Lin's method of pulling out Gu, all these coincidences It seems to have explained everything——I have been "passed" by someone!
But he hasn't had a headache for a long time, and there is no red line on the root of his nails that proves that he has been poisoned... What's going on?
"Ling Qing." Ruan Suxue called him, as if thinking of something, "I remember you told me that you used to have headaches, and you would take medicine when you had headaches... Maybe?"
Ruan Suxue showed a worried expression, and her eyes fell on Ling Qing's hands.
Ling Qing shook her head, "I don't seem to have it, and I thought it was, and many places are consistent. But my headache symptoms haven't happened for a long time, and there are no nails..."
Speaking of the sudden silence here, an idea came into his mind, an extremely terrifying idea, so that when he thought of it, his back was soaked in cold sweat. He raised his head and was about to confirm it to Ruan Suxue, but he saw Ruan Suxue also frowning at him, as if Hesitating whether to speak up or not.
"That Gu..." Ling Qing slowly expressed his conjecture in his heart, his voice trembling, "On the baby?"
Ruan Suxue kept looking at him, frowning even tighter, then nodded with her lips pursed.
"I saw it on the baby's fingernails when I was bathing him, but I didn't pay attention to it at the time. I thought it was premature and it would fade away after a while..."
Hearing this, Ling Qing felt a tightness in his chest, and a burst of blood surged in his throat.
It was because he remembered something that Dongli Muyun told him──
The current Holy Majesty originally had three sons and one daughter, but they were all stillborn at birth.This matter was too strange and related to the blood of the royal family, so they secretly asked people to investigate. Only after this investigation did they find out that someone poisoned the tea of the concubine who was pregnant with the dragon species. The amount was very small, and it did no harm to the mother. The child was taken away, so the mother was fine until the full-term birth, but none of the children could be kept.
Today's little prince was also very weak when he was born, and his body was also poisoned. Fortunately, he was discovered early and treated in time to save his life.
Ling Qing clenched his fist unconsciously, the letter paper in his hand was crumpled into a ball, his mind was in a mess, and thousands of questions were turned around.
Who put a Gu on himself?
Huo Xian?Because this Gu is unique to Huo Xian!But the medicine to contain the poison was given by Dongli... No, Dongli treats him like a brother, and will never harm him.Who is that?
Tianjue Sect is good at Gu poison, and Yuan Bugui must have discovered it at that time... So Yan Yunlie also knew that he was planted with poison Gu, and he said he was going to get the method of removing Gu... and the only one in the world Huo Xian alone knows how to pull out Gu...
pat!
The crumpled letter in Ling Qing's hand fell to the ground, he stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, curled up his fingers, opened his mouth so that his trembling teeth could bite his fingers tightly, and shook his head in disbelief , with water in his eyes.
It's for Qin Lin...
He did this for Qin Lin, to pull Qin Lin's Gu, so...? !
How could this be?How could this be?
Ling Qing only felt a rumble in his head, and a fishy-sweet taste spread in his mouth.
Once again, the eyes were plunged into a blood-red veil, and there was a person standing in the blood, the white silk clothes were covered with blood lotuses, that person turned around slowly, but it was himself.He held a blue calico swaddle in his hand, and bit by bit... bit by bit let go...
Do not!
There was a wild desire in Ling Qing's heart to drive out this illusion, but he couldn't make a sound, and his body was also pinned and unable to move.
Seeing that Ling Qing fell into a frenzy again, Ruan Suxue rushed to him and pulled out his bloody hand, "Ling Qing?! That's not your fault! That Gu is not your fault!"
Ruan Suxue thought that Ling Qing blamed himself for passing the poisonous Gu on his body to the child.At that time Ling Qing asked her if the baby seemed to be too quiet and if she was sick.But she didn't know much about Gu, so she couldn't see anything wrong, and said that the child was well-behaved because he was like him.
But she never expected that it would be like this. The poisonous Gu, which had been restrained by drugs, found a new host body, so the child was born with a disability... I'm afraid he won't live long.
Thinking of this, Ruan Suxue's heart felt sour, and she comforted Ling Qing, "Good boy, don't think about it, it's not your fault, just pretend that the child has nothing to do with you..."
Ling Qing seemed to have calmed down a bit, raised his head, his blood-stained lips trembled slightly, and there was unspeakable grief in his eyes, he didn't care about this...
Regardless of whether the child can survive or not, the death of the child is inextricably related to me...
Thinking of this, Ling Qing trembled uncontrollably.
Ruan Suxue kept comforting him, and after a long time, the expression on Ling Qing's face calmed down a little.He opened his mouth, but still swallowed what he was going to say, his eyes fell on the crumpled piece of paper on the ground, he looked at it for a while, and then he said, "Madam Qi, can you do me a favor? "
"Okay." Ruan Suxue put down the cinnabar eyebrow pencil.
Ling Qing withdrew her hands to look at it, but the maid beside her covered her mouth and snickered. Ruan Suxue knocked on the maid's forehead with a pen, and said seriously, "What are you laughing at?! If you laugh again, I will punish you to wash Zhao'er's diaper." !"
The servant girl stuck out her tongue, took the eyebrow pencil and the small dish filled with cinnabar, turned and walked out.
Ruan Suxue also leaned over to look at Ling Qing's fingers, "This vermilion is mixed with a special concoction, which cannot be washed off with just water."
Ling Qing asked Ruan Suxue to help him draw a thin red line on the root of his nails, making it look like he still has a "grade" on his body.
He didn't know who planted the Gu, the other party was in the dark, if it was found that the Gu on his body had been removed, maybe he would be killed again.But he can no longer be so defenseless, he needs to know who that person is and what is the purpose of laying a voodoo on him, so the best way is to still pretend that he doesn't know anything.
In fact, Ling Qing's head was already in a mess.The baby's death was originally thought to be Huo Xian's mastermind, and Yan Yunlie did it indirectly, but now that he suddenly learned that he was also one of the murderers, at that moment he even wanted to die.But soon he came to his senses, he couldn't die yet, he was going to find out the person who secretly killed him.
Those who owe debts pay their debts, and those who owe their lives...will pay with their lives.No one can escape.
"Ling Qing..."
Ling Qing regained her senses after being called out, and looked up at Ruan Suxue with pure eyes and a look of willingness to hear about it.
Seeing his expression like this, it seems that he has returned to the gentle, calm, and occasionally silly young man in his memory.
Ruan Suxue felt guilty all the time. For their mother and child, Ling Qing lost her own child. Although that little life was congenitally disabled, which parent in the world doesn't love their child?However, Ling Qing seldom mentioned it after waking up.
Ever since she met the young man in the desert, she has seen that he has always been so tolerant, hiding everything in his heart, feelings, or grief, as well as the utter hatred...
"I'm really sorry about the child, I don't know how to repay you..."
The corner of Ling Qing's mouth curled slightly, as if to reassure Ruan Suxue, "It has nothing to do with Madam Qi, Madam doesn't have to blame herself, everything is Ling Qing's voluntary."
"Stupid!" Ruan Suxue snorted, and then said: "You always call me Mrs. Qi, I want to hear you, sister."
Ling Qing was taken aback, not understanding why Ruan Suxue made such a request.
"Don't want to?"
"..."
"That's fine as a godmother."
"...Sister." She called out a little awkwardly.
"Good boy!" That tone was close to rewarding him with a candy, but the next moment, Ruan Suxue looked serious, "Since you call me sister, you will be my family from now on. Huo Xian is cunning and guarded by his side." Sen Yan, my sister is giving you a chance to kill him, as for how you use it, it depends on yourself."
Ling Qing looked at her and nodded.
Ruan Suxue said slowly, "It is said that when Emperor Yan was alive in the previous dynasty, a sorcerer predicted that Da Lu would not last three generations, so Emperor Yan wanted the descendants of the Lu family to rule the world forever, and wantonly plundered the world's treasures. It took 33 years to build the imperial mausoleum with [-] laborers working day and night, and it was finally completed.
"But the fate has been fixed, Dalu will not escape the day of subjugation after all, the first emperor led the people to revolt, and as if blessed by God, he overthrew the old system and established himself as king. The legend of the world-renowned treasures in the mausoleum of Emperor Yan was once circulated, and many people couldn't find it. After returning from success, it seems that such a huge project has never existed, and it seems to have disappeared out of thin air."
Ling Qing thought for a while, and said: "Maybe someone has already found it, and then released fake news, so that other people who want to look for it will run around like headless chickens, leave full of hope, and return full of disappointment. No one wants to believe it anymore."
Ruan Suxue looked at Ling Qing with somewhat approving eyes, and nodded, "Yongzhou is barren, and the Liao Kingdom has repeatedly invaded, but the Great Zhao has never shown weakness. It has been fighting for several years, consuming a lot of manpower and financial resources. Nian quarreled in the court hall. But since the first emperor, every time he chooses to send troops to guard, his will is so strong that no one can shake it... Ling Qing, what do you think of this?"
Ling Qing pondered for a moment, then smiled slightly, "Perhaps the emperor sent troops to guard the territory on the surface, but in fact he was guarding some other ulterior secret."
Ruan Suxue did not speak immediately, but raised her hand and rolled up her sleeves, revealing a gold bracelet on her wrist.
"The Qi family has guarded Yongzhou for the Zhao family since the first emperor ascended the throne. Since then, the Qi family has also had a dark secret."
Ruan Suxue took off the bracelet on her wrist as she spoke, "I don't know where Huo Xian heard that he framed Qi's family, tortured him to extract a confession, and finally got what he wanted. No one else will know this secret.
"Huo Xian thought that he could sit back and enjoy this secret, but he didn't expect that my husband had already told me this secret. To punish the nine clans, but not to kill the female relatives, as long as I go to any place where I am assigned, there will be internal responses to rescue me Send me to a safe place. But Huo Xian saw through this trick, so he wanted to kill me."
Everyone thought that Huo Xian wanted to kill Ruan Suxue because Ruan Suxue was pregnant with the Qi family's flesh and blood.In fact, when Ruan Suxue was on the way to be sent to the frontier, Huo Xian suddenly figured out that the reason why Qi Jingyue was charged with unnecessary crimes was to protect Ruan Suxue from being persecuted by him.
Ruan Suxue handed the gold bracelet in her hand to Ling Qing, "The secret that Qi's family has guarded for generations is the secret of Emperor Yan's Mausoleum. Huo Xian only knows half of it, and the other half is in this gold bracelet."
Ling Qing looked down at the gold bracelet in his hand, the patterns on the bracelet were made very ordinary, it looked no different from other bracelets.The only difference is that there are two hidden clasps on the inside, Ling Qing opened the hidden clasps, and the gold bracelet was divided into two, but the middle was empty, and there seemed to be something hidden in one section.
Ling Qing pulled out the jade hairpin from the bun, and used the thin pointed end to hook it in, and actually pulled out a piece of silk from the gold bracelet.
The silk handkerchief is made of high-quality ice silk, as thin as a cicada's wing, almost transparent, with a picture carefully outlined on it.
"This is……?"
"The map that was searched by Huo Xian was the map of Emperor Yan's Mausoleum. After the late emperor found it, he ordered skilled craftsmen to set up many traps in it. If there is no such map, the people who enter may die, and even if they are not dead, they may not be able to find it out. The road, trapped in it alive."
Ling Qing looked at the mechanism map in his hand, then carefully folded it back into the gold bracelet, restored the gold bracelet to its original shape, and wanted to return it to Ruan Suxue, "Madam Qi, you can't just give me such an important thing."
Ruan Suxue pushed his hand back, "Silly boy, the current emperor is fatuous and immoral, and the prince under his knee is still young, several princes are eyeing the throne covetously, some people can't help it anymore, but they are standing still at this moment.
"The reason why the first emperor let the Qi family guard this thing is to use it to overthrow the faint emperor and then establish the Ming emperor. Unfortunately, now that the Qi family is dead, my sister does not intend to let Zhao'er get involved in the affairs of the court, so this secret is no longer available. Keeping it up is nothing more than accompanying me into the grave, and the more than 100 people in the Qi family paid their lives for this secret, and I didn't let me spoil it like this..."
Ling Qing didn't make a sound, just looked at Ruan Suxue and blinked.
Seeing him like this, Ruan Suxue patted his head like an elder, "But you can use it, not just for that innocent child."
Ling Qing thought for a while, and decided to accept the bracelet. After putting it into his arms, he suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Madam Qi, you are clear about the affairs of the court. What do you think... how is King Anyang?"
Ruan Suxue lowered her eyes, thought carefully, and raised her head after a long while, "King Anyang and the current emperor have the same mother, but he likes to play, and he is not in the palace all the year round. The few times we meet, I just think...he is not what you imagined. It's as simple as it sounds, but maybe not as dangerous as you see it."
Ling Qing seemed to understand what he said.
I don't know when, there are rumors in the rivers and lakes that Emperor Yan's Mausoleum does exist, the map is in Huo Xian's hands, and there is a map of the mechanism besides the map, but it is nowhere to be found.
This rumor became more and more true and wider, and the people who said it seemed to have seen it with their own eyes. It didn't take long before it spread to the palace.
The night is as dark as ink, and the starry sky is as clean as washing. The Huo Mansion, which is as luxurious and gorgeous as any prince's residence, is quiet and eerie.
In the study, Huo Xian took a sip of the tea offered by the servant, and was about to pick up the letterhead on the table, when a clear whistle flashed across the cold night.
Huo Xian's expression tightened, and he recovered quickly, took a sip of the good tea in the cup, put down the cup and sent the servants away.
When the servants closed the door, Huo Xian touched a Shoushan stone ornament on the table, turned it lightly, and then there was the sound of the reels of the water mill, and the bookshelf on the other side of the room moved slowly, revealing a gap that was as wide as one person. It is a secret road.
Huo Xian took the candlestick and walked to the back of the bookshelf. There was a round stone decoration on the wall at the entrance. He held it and twisted it, and the bookshelf slowly moved back to its original place.
Huo Xian walked down the secret path, and the exit suddenly opened up, as if he had arrived at the main hall of a certain palace.There are a few luminous pearls on the surrounding walls, and there is a curtain hanging on the hall, and there is a person sitting behind the curtain, hidden in the shadow, unable to see his face.
"Are you here?" The voice of the person behind the curtain was low and cold.
Huo Xian straightened up his clothes and knelt respectfully, "This slave sees the master, I wonder if the master has anything important to tell the slave?"
"My lord?" The person behind the curtain sneered in a low voice, "I'm afraid it's time for me to call you my lord in two days, right?"
Huo Xian knelt on the ground and shook his head, "I don't know what the Lord means."
Snapped!There was a sound, and it was the palm of the man in the hall that fell on the armrest of the seat.
"Now you can pretend to be foolish, and you know how to use your wrists... The group of dead soldiers raised by the mansion really don't eat for nothing, and the eunuchs and maids in the palace have all become your people without knowing it. Mr. Huo's power is getting bigger and bigger, do you think the seat of the chief executive is not comfortable enough, so you are going to try changing the dragon chair?"
"Slave dare not..."
"Don't dare?" The man said with great anger, "I think you are very brave! You can do it yourself! When did I let you deal with Qijia?"
"Reporting to the lord, it is the emperor's personal will to pray that Jingyue betrayed the humiliation and begged for glory..."
"To shut up!"
Huo Xian knelt on the ground and didn't make a sound.
The person behind the curtain restrained his anger slightly, but his tone of voice remained undiminished, "Huo Xian, don't think I don't know why you deal with Qi Jingyue, and don't think that I'll just watch if you hide your thoughts deeply." not come out!
"Don't forget..." the person in the seat said: "How did you get your status and power today. The reason why I tolerated you so many times is because you still have value in existence. If one day you even That point of value is gone, I want to deal with you, it is easier than crushing a grasshopper!"
"Yes, yes, yes! The slave will never forget! The slave will not dare to forget!" Huo Xian knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
The person behind the tent stopped talking, got up and walked away.
Huo Xian knelt on the ground and sent him away, and when he was sure that the other party had left completely, Huo Xian's expression changed, and the frightened servant's face immediately retracted, and his expression turned a bit gloomy.
No matter how high he climbed, he was still a slave, and he still groveled.
But he no longer wants to be a slave, he wants to sit in the seat of supremacy and make the world submit to him.
Huo Xian stood up from the ground, and unhurriedly brushed the dust off his clothes. For that day, he had to ask for more wealth. The ones he found were not enough, he wanted more, more, more. Enough to buy certain feudal lords, enough to recruit troops.
So he inadvertently learned about the rumors of Emperor Yan's Mausoleum and kept investigating secretly, and then got the map from Qi Jingyue regardless of everything, but he never expected that the first emperor would have another trick, to set up a trap inside, so he must get it That organ map.
Because his time is running out, not only because "that person" is about to give up on him, but another reason is that in today's world, which has been soaked in alcohol and sex for many years, there is not much time left...
The rumors of Emperor Yan's Mausoleum not only reached Huo Xian's ears, but naturally also spread to the flower street and willow alley, which is the most informative place in the world. Of course, it also included Chenxiang Pavilion, the sub-rudder of Tianjue Sect in the capital.
"Master, do you think it looks like this?" Hua Niang put down a silk handkerchief. The material of the handkerchief seemed to be very exquisite, with thin lines and circles drawn on it, forming a complex picture.
Yan Yunlie took it over and looked at it, then nodded with satisfaction, "Five images are enough, I don't want to convince Huo Xian that this is true, what I want is just a chance to hold him hostage..."
boom!The door was pushed open forcefully.
"Oh...it's so hot! It's so hot! What can I do to find my subordinates?" Yuan Bugui didn't even knock on the door, and just walked in with a loud voice, shaking the folding fan in his hand.
When Yan Yunlie saw him, he frowned first, then raised one eyebrow, looked at him with interest, and pointed his chin with a hook, "What are you dressed up for? Are you going to perform on stage?"
It was heard that the folding fan in Yuan Bugui's hand that was fanning like a stove stopped, turned to shake it calmly, and even slightly propped up his arms and spun around on the spot.
Yuan Bugui's perennial kudzu shirt was replaced by a white brocade arrow-sleeved shirt, covered with a gauze cloak of the same color, a light and fluffy one.Her hair, which is usually disheveled and disheveled, has also been taken care of carefully, and her temples are straight down, soft and shiny, and she is tied up with a white jade hairpin at the back.
He is not ugly at all, but he is usually neglected to take care of him, so he really looks a little handsome.
While shaking his fan, Yuan Bugui was complacent, "Is this subordinate acting suave and unrestrained? Don't fall in love with me, my lord. It's not a good thing to be liked by you."
Hua Niang burst out laughing, Yan Yunlie's face darkened, and scolded: "What are you crazy about? Going out to scare people dressed up like a ghost?"
Yuan Bugui didn't care about the evaluation given by their leader, "Master, you must have said that because you were afraid that your subordinates would be too handsome to steal your limelight."
He pretended to brush off the non-existent dust on his sleeves, "This subordinate is going to watch the lanterns with sister Pingting from Fanghua Juyan Building tonight. After watching the lanterns, we have to have a drink before the flowers go under the moon."
After finishing speaking, he shook his folding fan, and his expression seemed to say, such a beautiful blessing, you, the leader, cannot envy you.
The corners of Yan Yunlie's mouth twitched twice, and he threw the painting silk in his hand into Yuan Bugui's arms, "Using poison on it will have the fastest onset, and it will make life worse than death."
Yuan Bugui looked at the thing in his hand, closed the fan and saluted in a gentlemanly way, "I obey the orders, and I will definitely live up to the leader's entrustment." Then the corner of his mouth curved, revealing a slightly incongruous outfit that did not match his attire. The childish and playful smile immediately failed, "The leader has no other orders, so the subordinates will go to dispense the medicine first."
Yan Yunlie nodded, stretched out his hand to press the aching temple, hoping that he would not use his newly developed poison or medicine to show off when the beauties had an appointment at night... But Yan Yunlie felt that Yuan Bugui would probably do this .
Out of the corner of his eye, Yuan Bugui was about to open the door, and a figure suddenly flashed in Yan Yunlie's mind.
"No return, you come back."
"What other orders does the Master have?"
"Turn around."
Yuan Bugui obediently obeyed, Yan Yunlie looked at his back for a while, "Go down..." He added, "Remember to give me the antidote after poisoning!"
Yuan Bugui nodded, and then walked out with a puzzled expression on his face.
Yan Yunlie looked at the door and asked, "Huai Die, how many people in this world look alike?"
"Master Hui, there are not only people with similar backs, there are many. But... there is always one who will never be mistaken." Huai Die said with a smile.
Yan Yunlie lowered his head to look at the mask at hand, picked it up and stroked it gently with his fingers, and murmured, "There is always one who will never admit it wrong...?"
His eyes are deep and thoughtful.
"Ling Qing, are you inside?" Ruan Suxue's voice sounded outside the door.
Ling Qing got up to open the door, Ruan Suxue was standing outside with a letter in her hand, smiling.
"I asked you what you asked me about last time."
Ling Qing turned sideways slightly, letting Ruan Suxue into the room.
"My sister's ancestors practiced medicine for eight generations, and everyone in the Ruan family is proficient in Qihuang, but they don't have much research on Gu, so I wrote a letter to ask a sister in Miaojiang."
As Ruan Suxue said, she sat down on the chair, reached out and handed the letter in her hand to Ling Qing.
Ling Qing unfolded it after receiving it, and Ruan Suxue explained it for him.
"My sister said that "Jidi" is indeed a kind of Gu, but it is not a Gu of the Miao people. I also heard that Huo Xian used "Jidi" to control the officials in the court when I was in the capital. I always thought it was a kind of Gu. The chronic onset of poison, but unexpectedly it turned out to be Gu.
"It is said that the Gu resides in the human brain and likes to eat the brain. The person who has been planted with the Gu will have paroxysmal headaches at first. Eat up and die."
Ling Qing nodded, and turned over a piece of letterhead, "Madam Qi, what do you mean by using drugs to restrain you?"
"It is to take a special medicine, which can temporarily restrain the poisonous Gu from its activities, so that the person who is planted with the Gu will not die immediately. Huo Xian uses this method to control the person who has been infected."
"Then the person who was bewitched will not be saved?"
"No..." Ruan Suxue denied, "If you pull out the Gu, you can restore it to the original state, but whoever planted the Gu's characteristics must be pulled out by this person, otherwise there is a certain danger, and the solution of "Jiji" probably In the whole world, only Huo Xian knows."
Ling Qing read the letter back and forth several times, and the scene when he saw Yuan Bugui for the first time came to mind. Yuan Bugui asked him many questions while taking his pulse.
"Mr. Qin, do you usually have a headache? It's just like a needle prick in the forehead. It doesn't take long, and you can recover in a moment."
"It's true."
"How long?"
"For a while."
"How often does it happen?"
"It can be as long as a few months, or as short as a few days..."
"Have you taken any restraint medicine?"
"Have……"
Ling Qing withdrew her thoughts, and asked again: "Madam Qi, did your sister tell you how to tell if a person has been lowered?"
Ruan Suxue thought for a while, "It seems that there will be a red line at the root of the fingernail of the person who has been infected by the Gu, but you can't see it unless you look closely."
Ling Qing raised his hand to look at his fingernails, there was nothing unusual...
But Yuan Bugui's questioning at that time, his occasional headache symptoms in those years, and the medicine Dongli Muyun gave him, and Yan Yunlie's mention of Qin Lin's method of pulling out Gu, all these coincidences It seems to have explained everything——I have been "passed" by someone!
But he hasn't had a headache for a long time, and there is no red line on the root of his nails that proves that he has been poisoned... What's going on?
"Ling Qing." Ruan Suxue called him, as if thinking of something, "I remember you told me that you used to have headaches, and you would take medicine when you had headaches... Maybe?"
Ruan Suxue showed a worried expression, and her eyes fell on Ling Qing's hands.
Ling Qing shook her head, "I don't seem to have it, and I thought it was, and many places are consistent. But my headache symptoms haven't happened for a long time, and there are no nails..."
Speaking of the sudden silence here, an idea came into his mind, an extremely terrifying idea, so that when he thought of it, his back was soaked in cold sweat. He raised his head and was about to confirm it to Ruan Suxue, but he saw Ruan Suxue also frowning at him, as if Hesitating whether to speak up or not.
"That Gu..." Ling Qing slowly expressed his conjecture in his heart, his voice trembling, "On the baby?"
Ruan Suxue kept looking at him, frowning even tighter, then nodded with her lips pursed.
"I saw it on the baby's fingernails when I was bathing him, but I didn't pay attention to it at the time. I thought it was premature and it would fade away after a while..."
Hearing this, Ling Qing felt a tightness in his chest, and a burst of blood surged in his throat.
It was because he remembered something that Dongli Muyun told him──
The current Holy Majesty originally had three sons and one daughter, but they were all stillborn at birth.This matter was too strange and related to the blood of the royal family, so they secretly asked people to investigate. Only after this investigation did they find out that someone poisoned the tea of the concubine who was pregnant with the dragon species. The amount was very small, and it did no harm to the mother. The child was taken away, so the mother was fine until the full-term birth, but none of the children could be kept.
Today's little prince was also very weak when he was born, and his body was also poisoned. Fortunately, he was discovered early and treated in time to save his life.
Ling Qing clenched his fist unconsciously, the letter paper in his hand was crumpled into a ball, his mind was in a mess, and thousands of questions were turned around.
Who put a Gu on himself?
Huo Xian?Because this Gu is unique to Huo Xian!But the medicine to contain the poison was given by Dongli... No, Dongli treats him like a brother, and will never harm him.Who is that?
Tianjue Sect is good at Gu poison, and Yuan Bugui must have discovered it at that time... So Yan Yunlie also knew that he was planted with poison Gu, and he said he was going to get the method of removing Gu... and the only one in the world Huo Xian alone knows how to pull out Gu...
pat!
The crumpled letter in Ling Qing's hand fell to the ground, he stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, curled up his fingers, opened his mouth so that his trembling teeth could bite his fingers tightly, and shook his head in disbelief , with water in his eyes.
It's for Qin Lin...
He did this for Qin Lin, to pull Qin Lin's Gu, so...? !
How could this be?How could this be?
Ling Qing only felt a rumble in his head, and a fishy-sweet taste spread in his mouth.
Once again, the eyes were plunged into a blood-red veil, and there was a person standing in the blood, the white silk clothes were covered with blood lotuses, that person turned around slowly, but it was himself.He held a blue calico swaddle in his hand, and bit by bit... bit by bit let go...
Do not!
There was a wild desire in Ling Qing's heart to drive out this illusion, but he couldn't make a sound, and his body was also pinned and unable to move.
Seeing that Ling Qing fell into a frenzy again, Ruan Suxue rushed to him and pulled out his bloody hand, "Ling Qing?! That's not your fault! That Gu is not your fault!"
Ruan Suxue thought that Ling Qing blamed himself for passing the poisonous Gu on his body to the child.At that time Ling Qing asked her if the baby seemed to be too quiet and if she was sick.But she didn't know much about Gu, so she couldn't see anything wrong, and said that the child was well-behaved because he was like him.
But she never expected that it would be like this. The poisonous Gu, which had been restrained by drugs, found a new host body, so the child was born with a disability... I'm afraid he won't live long.
Thinking of this, Ruan Suxue's heart felt sour, and she comforted Ling Qing, "Good boy, don't think about it, it's not your fault, just pretend that the child has nothing to do with you..."
Ling Qing seemed to have calmed down a bit, raised his head, his blood-stained lips trembled slightly, and there was unspeakable grief in his eyes, he didn't care about this...
Regardless of whether the child can survive or not, the death of the child is inextricably related to me...
Thinking of this, Ling Qing trembled uncontrollably.
Ruan Suxue kept comforting him, and after a long time, the expression on Ling Qing's face calmed down a little.He opened his mouth, but still swallowed what he was going to say, his eyes fell on the crumpled piece of paper on the ground, he looked at it for a while, and then he said, "Madam Qi, can you do me a favor? "
"Okay." Ruan Suxue put down the cinnabar eyebrow pencil.
Ling Qing withdrew her hands to look at it, but the maid beside her covered her mouth and snickered. Ruan Suxue knocked on the maid's forehead with a pen, and said seriously, "What are you laughing at?! If you laugh again, I will punish you to wash Zhao'er's diaper." !"
The servant girl stuck out her tongue, took the eyebrow pencil and the small dish filled with cinnabar, turned and walked out.
Ruan Suxue also leaned over to look at Ling Qing's fingers, "This vermilion is mixed with a special concoction, which cannot be washed off with just water."
Ling Qing asked Ruan Suxue to help him draw a thin red line on the root of his nails, making it look like he still has a "grade" on his body.
He didn't know who planted the Gu, the other party was in the dark, if it was found that the Gu on his body had been removed, maybe he would be killed again.But he can no longer be so defenseless, he needs to know who that person is and what is the purpose of laying a voodoo on him, so the best way is to still pretend that he doesn't know anything.
In fact, Ling Qing's head was already in a mess.The baby's death was originally thought to be Huo Xian's mastermind, and Yan Yunlie did it indirectly, but now that he suddenly learned that he was also one of the murderers, at that moment he even wanted to die.But soon he came to his senses, he couldn't die yet, he was going to find out the person who secretly killed him.
Those who owe debts pay their debts, and those who owe their lives...will pay with their lives.No one can escape.
"Ling Qing..."
Ling Qing regained her senses after being called out, and looked up at Ruan Suxue with pure eyes and a look of willingness to hear about it.
Seeing his expression like this, it seems that he has returned to the gentle, calm, and occasionally silly young man in his memory.
Ruan Suxue felt guilty all the time. For their mother and child, Ling Qing lost her own child. Although that little life was congenitally disabled, which parent in the world doesn't love their child?However, Ling Qing seldom mentioned it after waking up.
Ever since she met the young man in the desert, she has seen that he has always been so tolerant, hiding everything in his heart, feelings, or grief, as well as the utter hatred...
"I'm really sorry about the child, I don't know how to repay you..."
The corner of Ling Qing's mouth curled slightly, as if to reassure Ruan Suxue, "It has nothing to do with Madam Qi, Madam doesn't have to blame herself, everything is Ling Qing's voluntary."
"Stupid!" Ruan Suxue snorted, and then said: "You always call me Mrs. Qi, I want to hear you, sister."
Ling Qing was taken aback, not understanding why Ruan Suxue made such a request.
"Don't want to?"
"..."
"That's fine as a godmother."
"...Sister." She called out a little awkwardly.
"Good boy!" That tone was close to rewarding him with a candy, but the next moment, Ruan Suxue looked serious, "Since you call me sister, you will be my family from now on. Huo Xian is cunning and guarded by his side." Sen Yan, my sister is giving you a chance to kill him, as for how you use it, it depends on yourself."
Ling Qing looked at her and nodded.
Ruan Suxue said slowly, "It is said that when Emperor Yan was alive in the previous dynasty, a sorcerer predicted that Da Lu would not last three generations, so Emperor Yan wanted the descendants of the Lu family to rule the world forever, and wantonly plundered the world's treasures. It took 33 years to build the imperial mausoleum with [-] laborers working day and night, and it was finally completed.
"But the fate has been fixed, Dalu will not escape the day of subjugation after all, the first emperor led the people to revolt, and as if blessed by God, he overthrew the old system and established himself as king. The legend of the world-renowned treasures in the mausoleum of Emperor Yan was once circulated, and many people couldn't find it. After returning from success, it seems that such a huge project has never existed, and it seems to have disappeared out of thin air."
Ling Qing thought for a while, and said: "Maybe someone has already found it, and then released fake news, so that other people who want to look for it will run around like headless chickens, leave full of hope, and return full of disappointment. No one wants to believe it anymore."
Ruan Suxue looked at Ling Qing with somewhat approving eyes, and nodded, "Yongzhou is barren, and the Liao Kingdom has repeatedly invaded, but the Great Zhao has never shown weakness. It has been fighting for several years, consuming a lot of manpower and financial resources. Nian quarreled in the court hall. But since the first emperor, every time he chooses to send troops to guard, his will is so strong that no one can shake it... Ling Qing, what do you think of this?"
Ling Qing pondered for a moment, then smiled slightly, "Perhaps the emperor sent troops to guard the territory on the surface, but in fact he was guarding some other ulterior secret."
Ruan Suxue did not speak immediately, but raised her hand and rolled up her sleeves, revealing a gold bracelet on her wrist.
"The Qi family has guarded Yongzhou for the Zhao family since the first emperor ascended the throne. Since then, the Qi family has also had a dark secret."
Ruan Suxue took off the bracelet on her wrist as she spoke, "I don't know where Huo Xian heard that he framed Qi's family, tortured him to extract a confession, and finally got what he wanted. No one else will know this secret.
"Huo Xian thought that he could sit back and enjoy this secret, but he didn't expect that my husband had already told me this secret. To punish the nine clans, but not to kill the female relatives, as long as I go to any place where I am assigned, there will be internal responses to rescue me Send me to a safe place. But Huo Xian saw through this trick, so he wanted to kill me."
Everyone thought that Huo Xian wanted to kill Ruan Suxue because Ruan Suxue was pregnant with the Qi family's flesh and blood.In fact, when Ruan Suxue was on the way to be sent to the frontier, Huo Xian suddenly figured out that the reason why Qi Jingyue was charged with unnecessary crimes was to protect Ruan Suxue from being persecuted by him.
Ruan Suxue handed the gold bracelet in her hand to Ling Qing, "The secret that Qi's family has guarded for generations is the secret of Emperor Yan's Mausoleum. Huo Xian only knows half of it, and the other half is in this gold bracelet."
Ling Qing looked down at the gold bracelet in his hand, the patterns on the bracelet were made very ordinary, it looked no different from other bracelets.The only difference is that there are two hidden clasps on the inside, Ling Qing opened the hidden clasps, and the gold bracelet was divided into two, but the middle was empty, and there seemed to be something hidden in one section.
Ling Qing pulled out the jade hairpin from the bun, and used the thin pointed end to hook it in, and actually pulled out a piece of silk from the gold bracelet.
The silk handkerchief is made of high-quality ice silk, as thin as a cicada's wing, almost transparent, with a picture carefully outlined on it.
"This is……?"
"The map that was searched by Huo Xian was the map of Emperor Yan's Mausoleum. After the late emperor found it, he ordered skilled craftsmen to set up many traps in it. If there is no such map, the people who enter may die, and even if they are not dead, they may not be able to find it out. The road, trapped in it alive."
Ling Qing looked at the mechanism map in his hand, then carefully folded it back into the gold bracelet, restored the gold bracelet to its original shape, and wanted to return it to Ruan Suxue, "Madam Qi, you can't just give me such an important thing."
Ruan Suxue pushed his hand back, "Silly boy, the current emperor is fatuous and immoral, and the prince under his knee is still young, several princes are eyeing the throne covetously, some people can't help it anymore, but they are standing still at this moment.
"The reason why the first emperor let the Qi family guard this thing is to use it to overthrow the faint emperor and then establish the Ming emperor. Unfortunately, now that the Qi family is dead, my sister does not intend to let Zhao'er get involved in the affairs of the court, so this secret is no longer available. Keeping it up is nothing more than accompanying me into the grave, and the more than 100 people in the Qi family paid their lives for this secret, and I didn't let me spoil it like this..."
Ling Qing didn't make a sound, just looked at Ruan Suxue and blinked.
Seeing him like this, Ruan Suxue patted his head like an elder, "But you can use it, not just for that innocent child."
Ling Qing thought for a while, and decided to accept the bracelet. After putting it into his arms, he suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Madam Qi, you are clear about the affairs of the court. What do you think... how is King Anyang?"
Ruan Suxue lowered her eyes, thought carefully, and raised her head after a long while, "King Anyang and the current emperor have the same mother, but he likes to play, and he is not in the palace all the year round. The few times we meet, I just think...he is not what you imagined. It's as simple as it sounds, but maybe not as dangerous as you see it."
Ling Qing seemed to understand what he said.
I don't know when, there are rumors in the rivers and lakes that Emperor Yan's Mausoleum does exist, the map is in Huo Xian's hands, and there is a map of the mechanism besides the map, but it is nowhere to be found.
This rumor became more and more true and wider, and the people who said it seemed to have seen it with their own eyes. It didn't take long before it spread to the palace.
The night is as dark as ink, and the starry sky is as clean as washing. The Huo Mansion, which is as luxurious and gorgeous as any prince's residence, is quiet and eerie.
In the study, Huo Xian took a sip of the tea offered by the servant, and was about to pick up the letterhead on the table, when a clear whistle flashed across the cold night.
Huo Xian's expression tightened, and he recovered quickly, took a sip of the good tea in the cup, put down the cup and sent the servants away.
When the servants closed the door, Huo Xian touched a Shoushan stone ornament on the table, turned it lightly, and then there was the sound of the reels of the water mill, and the bookshelf on the other side of the room moved slowly, revealing a gap that was as wide as one person. It is a secret road.
Huo Xian took the candlestick and walked to the back of the bookshelf. There was a round stone decoration on the wall at the entrance. He held it and twisted it, and the bookshelf slowly moved back to its original place.
Huo Xian walked down the secret path, and the exit suddenly opened up, as if he had arrived at the main hall of a certain palace.There are a few luminous pearls on the surrounding walls, and there is a curtain hanging on the hall, and there is a person sitting behind the curtain, hidden in the shadow, unable to see his face.
"Are you here?" The voice of the person behind the curtain was low and cold.
Huo Xian straightened up his clothes and knelt respectfully, "This slave sees the master, I wonder if the master has anything important to tell the slave?"
"My lord?" The person behind the curtain sneered in a low voice, "I'm afraid it's time for me to call you my lord in two days, right?"
Huo Xian knelt on the ground and shook his head, "I don't know what the Lord means."
Snapped!There was a sound, and it was the palm of the man in the hall that fell on the armrest of the seat.
"Now you can pretend to be foolish, and you know how to use your wrists... The group of dead soldiers raised by the mansion really don't eat for nothing, and the eunuchs and maids in the palace have all become your people without knowing it. Mr. Huo's power is getting bigger and bigger, do you think the seat of the chief executive is not comfortable enough, so you are going to try changing the dragon chair?"
"Slave dare not..."
"Don't dare?" The man said with great anger, "I think you are very brave! You can do it yourself! When did I let you deal with Qijia?"
"Reporting to the lord, it is the emperor's personal will to pray that Jingyue betrayed the humiliation and begged for glory..."
"To shut up!"
Huo Xian knelt on the ground and didn't make a sound.
The person behind the curtain restrained his anger slightly, but his tone of voice remained undiminished, "Huo Xian, don't think I don't know why you deal with Qi Jingyue, and don't think that I'll just watch if you hide your thoughts deeply." not come out!
"Don't forget..." the person in the seat said: "How did you get your status and power today. The reason why I tolerated you so many times is because you still have value in existence. If one day you even That point of value is gone, I want to deal with you, it is easier than crushing a grasshopper!"
"Yes, yes, yes! The slave will never forget! The slave will not dare to forget!" Huo Xian knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
The person behind the tent stopped talking, got up and walked away.
Huo Xian knelt on the ground and sent him away, and when he was sure that the other party had left completely, Huo Xian's expression changed, and the frightened servant's face immediately retracted, and his expression turned a bit gloomy.
No matter how high he climbed, he was still a slave, and he still groveled.
But he no longer wants to be a slave, he wants to sit in the seat of supremacy and make the world submit to him.
Huo Xian stood up from the ground, and unhurriedly brushed the dust off his clothes. For that day, he had to ask for more wealth. The ones he found were not enough, he wanted more, more, more. Enough to buy certain feudal lords, enough to recruit troops.
So he inadvertently learned about the rumors of Emperor Yan's Mausoleum and kept investigating secretly, and then got the map from Qi Jingyue regardless of everything, but he never expected that the first emperor would have another trick, to set up a trap inside, so he must get it That organ map.
Because his time is running out, not only because "that person" is about to give up on him, but another reason is that in today's world, which has been soaked in alcohol and sex for many years, there is not much time left...
The rumors of Emperor Yan's Mausoleum not only reached Huo Xian's ears, but naturally also spread to the flower street and willow alley, which is the most informative place in the world. Of course, it also included Chenxiang Pavilion, the sub-rudder of Tianjue Sect in the capital.
"Master, do you think it looks like this?" Hua Niang put down a silk handkerchief. The material of the handkerchief seemed to be very exquisite, with thin lines and circles drawn on it, forming a complex picture.
Yan Yunlie took it over and looked at it, then nodded with satisfaction, "Five images are enough, I don't want to convince Huo Xian that this is true, what I want is just a chance to hold him hostage..."
boom!The door was pushed open forcefully.
"Oh...it's so hot! It's so hot! What can I do to find my subordinates?" Yuan Bugui didn't even knock on the door, and just walked in with a loud voice, shaking the folding fan in his hand.
When Yan Yunlie saw him, he frowned first, then raised one eyebrow, looked at him with interest, and pointed his chin with a hook, "What are you dressed up for? Are you going to perform on stage?"
It was heard that the folding fan in Yuan Bugui's hand that was fanning like a stove stopped, turned to shake it calmly, and even slightly propped up his arms and spun around on the spot.
Yuan Bugui's perennial kudzu shirt was replaced by a white brocade arrow-sleeved shirt, covered with a gauze cloak of the same color, a light and fluffy one.Her hair, which is usually disheveled and disheveled, has also been taken care of carefully, and her temples are straight down, soft and shiny, and she is tied up with a white jade hairpin at the back.
He is not ugly at all, but he is usually neglected to take care of him, so he really looks a little handsome.
While shaking his fan, Yuan Bugui was complacent, "Is this subordinate acting suave and unrestrained? Don't fall in love with me, my lord. It's not a good thing to be liked by you."
Hua Niang burst out laughing, Yan Yunlie's face darkened, and scolded: "What are you crazy about? Going out to scare people dressed up like a ghost?"
Yuan Bugui didn't care about the evaluation given by their leader, "Master, you must have said that because you were afraid that your subordinates would be too handsome to steal your limelight."
He pretended to brush off the non-existent dust on his sleeves, "This subordinate is going to watch the lanterns with sister Pingting from Fanghua Juyan Building tonight. After watching the lanterns, we have to have a drink before the flowers go under the moon."
After finishing speaking, he shook his folding fan, and his expression seemed to say, such a beautiful blessing, you, the leader, cannot envy you.
The corners of Yan Yunlie's mouth twitched twice, and he threw the painting silk in his hand into Yuan Bugui's arms, "Using poison on it will have the fastest onset, and it will make life worse than death."
Yuan Bugui looked at the thing in his hand, closed the fan and saluted in a gentlemanly way, "I obey the orders, and I will definitely live up to the leader's entrustment." Then the corner of his mouth curved, revealing a slightly incongruous outfit that did not match his attire. The childish and playful smile immediately failed, "The leader has no other orders, so the subordinates will go to dispense the medicine first."
Yan Yunlie nodded, stretched out his hand to press the aching temple, hoping that he would not use his newly developed poison or medicine to show off when the beauties had an appointment at night... But Yan Yunlie felt that Yuan Bugui would probably do this .
Out of the corner of his eye, Yuan Bugui was about to open the door, and a figure suddenly flashed in Yan Yunlie's mind.
"No return, you come back."
"What other orders does the Master have?"
"Turn around."
Yuan Bugui obediently obeyed, Yan Yunlie looked at his back for a while, "Go down..." He added, "Remember to give me the antidote after poisoning!"
Yuan Bugui nodded, and then walked out with a puzzled expression on his face.
Yan Yunlie looked at the door and asked, "Huai Die, how many people in this world look alike?"
"Master Hui, there are not only people with similar backs, there are many. But... there is always one who will never be mistaken." Huai Die said with a smile.
Yan Yunlie lowered his head to look at the mask at hand, picked it up and stroked it gently with his fingers, and murmured, "There is always one who will never admit it wrong...?"
His eyes are deep and thoughtful.
