Fang didn't look like a child in her dream.
This matter is really incomprehensible, it rests in her heart like a pimple, and every time she thinks about it, she finds it hard to explain.
"What are you doing here?" She changed the subject.
Xian Yu said with a smile: "Didn't you say it, because His Highness gave me an extra look at the banquet, I was thinking about it, so I came."
Li Qingning knew that this person was surly and erratic, with no seriousness in his body, and somehow he was the same person as the ignorant and ignorant child before.
After thinking about it, she frowned and asked, "What did you do to act like a child before?"
Xian Yu got used to the flickering candlelight, and then turned her body slightly, wanting to cast a sideways glance at Li Qingning behind her.
There was candlelight in her eyes, and when the candlelight moved slightly, there seemed to be light flowing in her eyes, as expected, like autumn water.
"Your Highness thought I was pretending when I was a child, why don't you guess that my appearance is fake." She said slowly.
Li Qingning frowned, "There are bone shrinking techniques to follow from growing up to being young, but I haven't heard of it on the contrary."
Besides, before she went to the Ceasefire Palace, the man in red had already entered her dream. According to the first-come-first-served basis, the man in red should have disguised himself as a child.
Although she thought so, everything was still hard to say.
Xian Yu raised the corners of her lips, the gauze bead curtain on her face was still covering her face, her expression was heavy under the shadowy light, "Your Highness is really icy and smart, and revealed my secret with one word."
Hearing her relaxed tone, Li Qingning seemed to answer casually, and couldn't help questioning the authenticity of her words.
Xian Yu didn't say any more, and didn't make fun of it, but stopped there, which was really not her style.
She really didn't want to go on, ordinary people don't know about Aoxian Mountain and Bishenghua, those who know Bishenghua naturally know how difficult those seven days were.
You can't seek death but you can survive. For thousands of years, there are only a handful of people who have survived the pain of rebirth from cracked bones and reunion of broken tendons.
Why to avoid Li Qingning feeling sorry for her in the future, it's better not to talk about it.
Li Qingning walked around in front of her, reaching out to untie the red silk tied around the white jade's arms, but the bound person shrank back, as if unwilling to let go.
I don't know what this cunning person is up to, she frowned and said: "You have also seen Bengong, and you have asked questions, why are you still hanging on?"
Xian Yu sat on the yellow pear wood drum stool, leaned back a little lazily, and said, "I don't want to leave, Your Highness just tore my clothes, and I haven't said how to take responsibility."
Her collar was still slightly open, and her outer and inner clothes were in a mess, the clothes were red, and the white jade snow skin was hidden underneath.
Li Qingning turned her eyes away, withdrew her hand to her side, and said coldly: "I haven't pursued your crime of trespassing yet, not only that, but also being rude and offensive."
Hearing this, Xian Yu chuckled, "Senior Sister, don't punish Yu'er, Yu'er's hand hurts, so I want to blow it off."
Li Qingning choked for a moment, and couldn't help looking down at the lazily sitting person in front of her, her expression very indescribable.
"Untie the red silk by yourself, and walk out of the room by yourself, don't let me drive you away." She suppressed the throbbing in her heart, and said slowly.
Seeing her flickering eyes, Xian Yu said triumphantly: "I saw His Highness glanced at me at the banquet. There were so many people and it was hard to talk, so I thought His Highness wanted to invite me here."
She paused, and then said: "Thinking about it, doing this kind of thing secretly is really not good for my girl's reputation, but I really want to know why Your Highness is looking at me so much, so I sneaked into this place with uneasiness. Unexpectedly, when His Highness opened his eyes, he wanted to belittle me and drive me away."
Li Qingning: ...
"Turn right and wrong." She said in a stern voice.
Xian Yu blinked her eyes, "In short, if His Highness doesn't give an explanation, I won't leave."
"What do you want to say." Li Qingning asked.
Xian Yu raised his jaw slightly, and paused every word, "Just now, what did Your Highness dream about?"
Li Qingning pursed her lips, "This matter has nothing to do with you."
Xian Yu said "Oh", the tone was twisted and twisted a thousand times, it was really yin and yang.
She watched Li Qingning's dark expression, pursing her lips to avoid talking, and thought about Li Qingning's every move when she opened her eyes just now, she immediately understood.
Oh, being prudish, you must be tearing her clothes in your dream again!
It seems that it would be great to take a sip of Mengpo soup before being reborn. Although I can't recognize her, the dream is still lingering. This kind of feeling of being revived is very...
Very exciting.
Xian Yu didn't want to leave, she really wanted to know what would happen if she stayed in this room overnight.
Li Qingning drank another glass of water, one after another, but the feeling of dry mouth still did not ease.
In this candle-lit room, the man in red was dressed in red, and his jade-white neck was slightly exposed between his black hair.
The man in red was still tied with his hands, and he neither broke free by himself nor let her untie them.
The two stood in a stalemate for a long time.
After a long while, Li Qingning said: "Forget it, I'm exhausted, so I won't pursue your matter any more."
There was a chuckle in the room.
Xian Yu turned her head, she knew that Li Qingning was really tired, and she didn't want to torment her anymore, so she said, "Then I have to thank Your Highness."
Li Qingning didn't dare to say anything, she was afraid that this matter would never end.
But even if she didn't say a word, the beauty in red is not so easy to dismiss.
Xian Yu immediately said: "We haven't seen each other for a long time. Today is a good day. It is better to hit the sun than to choose a day. I wonder if His Highness would like to let me stay here overnight, so that we can catch up with each other."
Li Qingning's forehead twitched, she was really tired, the stamina of the unloading pill was not so easy to bear, now she was tired, and she didn't even want to talk anymore.
"That's all, you can take care of yourself." She said lightly.
Xian Yu raised her eyebrows, stood up and turned to Li Qingning.
She raised her bound hands, opened her mouth slightly to reveal her white teeth, stared at the hypocritical eldest princess with her eyes for a moment, lowered her head slowly, and bit the red silk that bound her hands.
The teeth are white and the tongue is pink.
The lips and tongue were very sharp, biting off the tight red ribbon in one go.
Li Qingning's heart skipped a beat when she was stared at. She felt her breath getting chaotic, and her whole body seemed to be on fire. She almost fell into a magic barrier, and wanted to capture the man in red who was pretending to be in front of her.
Xian Yu was not polite, and when she got the consent, she walked to the side of the beauty's couch, and lay down on it without taking off her outer shirt. She said with a smile, "It's been a long night, senior sister, let's rest earlier."
Li Qingning suddenly didn't know whose residence this bedroom belonged to, somehow she seemed to be the guest.
It was very quiet at night, and there was not even the slightest sound inside or outside the house.
Li Qingning's tiredness was swept away, and she couldn't fall asleep for some reason.
Turning her eyes, she suddenly saw the figure on the narrow couch in the distance.
The beauty is lying on her side, her long hair is winding down to the ground, and the veil-like veil slipped to her shoulders.Her legs were slightly curled up, Yubai's feet were bare, the insteps were slightly hooked, she didn't know if it was cold.
This idea just popped up and then disappeared, how can a monk in this realm be afraid of the cold.
The last time they slept in the same room, this Xian Yu was still a child, she wanted to catch the fox's tail at that time, but she didn't dare to take it lightly, lest the other party suddenly kill him at night.
Now that they are in the same room again, their mood is very different, and they have no time to think about what this person will do at night.
She really couldn't sleep, she was so tired.
This Feng Xianyu was clearly here to torture her.
In the early morning of the next day, Xian Yu left Yangning Palace very early, before going through the gate, she climbed out from the wall of the backyard, lest someone with ulterior motives would see her coming out of Li Qingning's bedroom.
She is a member of the Ceasefire Palace and also a counselor of King Fengxian, if she is seen, it will be difficult to explain.
Speaking of which, the emperor also expressed his favor to the Ceasefire Palace, intending to recruit the Demon Palace under his command, but Feng Ceasefire didn't express it.
Now if the emperor knew that the people in the Ceasefire Palace followed King Feng Xian, he would be pissed to death.
After returning, I saw two court ladies falling asleep on the stone table in the inner courtyard, and there was a porcelain bottle on the table, which was probably filled with the medicine for bloating.
She approached quietly, picked up the porcelain bottle, poured out a brown pill, and crushed it in her palm.
The corners of his lips curled up, and he entered the room lightly, and then pretended to just wake up, and pushed the door open from the inside.
With a creak, the two maids woke up immediately.
One of them turned back with sleepy eyes open, was stunned for a moment when he saw Xian Yu, and asked in surprise, "When did the fairy come back last night?"
"I talked to the prince about some things, and I came back when I was ugly." Xian Yu said softly.
The other person stood up immediately after hearing the words: "This servant is here to help the fairy wash up."
Xian Yu's eyes curved slightly: "No need, I've already taken the medicine for abdominal distention, and I'm much better now."
The two maids showed shame on their faces, and one of them lowered his head and said falteringly: "The prince must blame the servants for not taking good care of them."
"How could it be?" Xian Yu smiled, looking very friendly.
Later, the person sent by King Fengxian arrived again, and led her to see King Fengxian, and then together with King Fengxian, they had an audience with the emperor.
On the way to see King Feng Xian, he never expected to meet Li Qingning's step, and that step stopped suddenly, Xian Yu couldn't help but also paused.
The maid who was leading the way hurriedly bowed her body and saluted without daring to raise her head.
Xian Yu raised his head slightly, and looked at the eldest princess who was sitting on the seat in a black dress.
Li Qingning looked down at her, his eyes were as quiet as water, although they were still indifferent, they were less alienated.
The person in the seat raised his hand slightly, and the four of them carried the flower on their backs and continued on their way.
After walking far away, Master Li who was following Bu Huo said, "Your Highness, is that fairy familiar?"
"Fair." Li Qingning said calmly.
Master Li asked again: "I don't know if that fairy has a good match?"
Li Qingning frowned, his face suddenly turned cold, "I don't know."
Master Li sighed: "I heard that the eldest disciple of Xu Zong is about to choose a partner. I think that the fairy looks pretty good with that first disciple. I wonder if your highness can..."
"No." Li Qingning paused for a moment. Seeing that Mr. Li was full of doubts, she said coldly: "She is just young and mature, but she is still young."
"...how young?" Master Li took a deep breath.
"It's hard to say." Li Qingning said lightly.
She said so on her lips, but she said in her heart——
Very young, it's really hard to say, maybe only seven years old.
Chapter 42

"That, that's really a pity." Mr. Li said.
"When did the imperial physician become so familiar with people from Xu Zong?" Li Qingning said without much fluctuation.
"Then and Xu Zong..." Master Li glanced around, then looked up at Li Qingning, and stopped for a long time before saying: "When we arrive at the Imperial Medical Office, I will talk to His Highness in detail."
Li Qingning frowned slightly, she remembered that Mr. Li was not such a cautious and suspicious character, it seemed that this matter was deeply involved.
Mr. Li is in the Imperial Medical Office, if it is not an intractable disease, he usually does not need to take action.
After yesterday's banquet, she called Mr. Li to Yangning Palace, but she didn't want to see a doctor, she just wanted to ask Mr. Li about someone under the guise of being ill, but unexpectedly fell asleep from exhaustion, and was stalked by someone when she woke up. up.
Li Qingning rubbed between her brows, thinking of what happened last night, she felt it was ridiculous.
Lord Li followed the steps in a regular manner, and after a while he said: "Your Highness looks much better this time, and his complexion is rosy and radiant. I think the water and soil of the fairy island are quite nourishing."
Li Qingning didn't say a word, but said in her heart, her complexion is ruddy?It must have been angry last night.
Master Li thought for a while and then said: "I heard that His Highness has been feeling tired for the past few days. I just checked His Highness's pulse and found nothing unusual. I think it's because I was tired from walking and I haven't recovered yet."
Li Qingning nodded: "Maybe so."
Even people from the two major sects can rarely obtain Xie Yuan Pill's extraordinary medicine, after all, the medicinal materials for refining this Pill are quite difficult to find.
Besides, Master Li is just a mortal, and there is no one in the palace who specializes in the pills used by monks, so he must not know that her current symptoms are actually caused by Xieyuan pills.
When they arrived at the Imperial Medical Office, Fang Xin and a group of maids waited outside the door, while Li Qingning and Master Li, who was carrying a wooden box, stepped into the gate with a red plaque and gold letters.
The medicine boy and maid in the room stopped their movements and bowed to Li Qingning together.
Lord Li handed over the wooden box containing the medicine bottle and silver needles to the welcoming maid, raised his hand and said, "Your Highness, come with me."
Li Qingning nodded slightly, and followed.
Mr. Li walked into the inner courtyard, glanced back, and then walked cautiously along the long corridor to a side room with a coarse cloth covering the door.
A short, stocky drug boy stood by the door, holding a tray with both hands, and inside the tray was a white cloth to cover his face.
Master Li pointed at the tray with his palm facing upwards, and said in a low voice, "Please, Your Highness."
Li Qingning picked up a piece of white cloth and covered her face.
After Master Li covered his mouth and nose, he raised the curtain and walked into the room.
I saw a woman in Tsing Yi with a sallow complexion lying on the bamboo mat. The woman was so thin that she was skinny, as if she had become an unconscious skeleton, making it impossible to see her original face.
Master Li let out a long sigh, and suddenly knelt down on the ground, "I am helpless, I have failed His Highness's expectations."
Li Qingning pursed her lips, stared at the person lying on the bamboo mat with her eyes for a moment, and said after a long time: "Mr. Li, please, I have no hope at all. Your lord's ability to save her life is already a good way to rejuvenate." .”
Master Li just got up from the ground and said with a sigh: "In the past month, the girl has been given needles and medicine, and the girl can finally wake up, but she can't eat, so she can only be fed liquid food, but she eats very little every day. He often coughs up blood and vomits, I really have no way to recover."
Li Qingning nodded slightly, "My lord has done his best."
She observed that the eyes of the people on the bamboo mat were tightly closed, they could not move, their breathing was almost non-existent, as if they had already passed away, and after a long time, she asked again: "Can she wake up now?"
"Can it be possible..." Mr. Li hesitated to speak.
"What?" Li Qingning frowned.
Master Li frowned tightly: "It's just an injection. After the injection, you can only be conscious for a moment, and then you will pass out again."
Li Qingning pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Then give the needle."
"Yes." Master Li sighed, "The waiter will fetch the silver needle."
After finishing speaking, he lifted the curtain and walked out, calling away the little boy standing at the door.
In the bright wing room, the breath of the people on the bamboo mat was faint, and Li Qingning was looking down at her.
Li Qingning closed and opened her eyes, stepped a little closer, and saw it more clearly.
The woman on the bamboo mat was wearing a luxurious brocade suit. Just by looking at her attire, one could tell that she was not a maid in the palace.
Indeed not, this woman is the assistant of the imperial teacher of the current dynasty, she was picked up and raised by the imperial teacher since she was a child, and she has known Li Qingning well since she was a child.
But even so, if the people in the palace saw her again, they would no longer recognize her.
Not to mention that she is so thin that she is completely out of shape, moreover, everyone in the palace thinks that she is dead.
Li Qingning frowned, her heart sank slightly, she rescued the person who was mistaken for having a cold.
But after a while, Master Li took a needle bag, opened it, carefully selected it, and pierced several silver needles into the woman's head and shoulders one by one.
"Your Highness, wait for a moment." Master Li was sweating profusely. He seemed a little nervous, but his hand that was just doing the needle was still very steady.
After a while, the eyes of the woman lying on the bamboo mat trembled, and she saw the eyelids slowly lifted up, and a pair of eyes that were already cloudy and diffuse opened.
The woman's already weak breath became more rapid, and her eyes were wide open, as if she hadn't recovered yet.
Li Qingning looked at her quietly and said, "Cui Ling."
Cui Ling was stunned for a moment, staring at the sound with her sunken eyes, she turned her head with difficulty, as if she couldn't see the person beside the bed clearly, she squinted her eyes hard, and after a long time, she spoke in a hoarse voice. : "Your Highness."
"I'm coming back late." Li Qingning said calmly.
Tears flowed from Cui Ling's haggard eyes, she turned sideways suddenly, and fell weakly on the bamboo mat, the muscles and bones of her hands clutched at the edge of the mat protruding.
Li Qingning's pupils shrank suddenly, her breath became a little chaotic, and a trace of panic appeared on her originally calm face.
"Don't move." She said coldly.
Cui Ling's face was full of tears, and he said in a hoarse voice: "His Royal Highness has finally returned, Cui Ling's time is short, some things can only be said to His Highness."
Li Qingning's heart skipped a beat, and she turned her head and said to Mr. Li, "My lord."
Master Li immediately understood, he hesitated for a moment, seeing that Cui Ling was already looking back, he sighed, put his hands in front of him, and slowly backed away.
In the room, Cui Ling breathed heavily and said: "Your Highness, the national teacher is no longer..."
"What is it?" Li Qingning bent down, unable to hear clearly, she said again: "Don't worry, calm down first, and speak slowly."
Cui Ling opened her mouth wide, exuding a deadly air all over her body, she shook her head violently and said, "I can't wait..."
Li Qingning raised her hand, and just when she was about to use spiritual energy to regulate her, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by the hand that looked as thin as a withered tree.
Cui Ling grasped it tightly, as if trying to use up all her strength, "Scorpion tail vine..."
"Cui Ling, stop talking, calm down!" Li Qingning's lips trembled, she didn't expect her to speak so recklessly.
Cui Ling seemed to be exhausting all her energy, she paused every word, almost breaking her white teeth, "Your Majesty...Scorpiontail Vine..."
"National, national teacher harmed me..." The hoarse voice like grinding iron came to an abrupt end.
The strength in Li Qingning's hand immediately loosened, and she swayed down with the thick cloth covering her face. Her breathing was stagnant, and she only felt the force around her wrist suddenly lighten.
The hand holding her landed on the bamboo mat with a thud.
Cui Ling's eyes were still staring, but she was gone.
"Doctor Li!" Li Qingning said in a loud voice.
Master Li came in in a hurry, seeing the people on the bamboo mat staring and not moving, he didn't look forward and knelt down, "Your Highness, Miss Cui Ling has gone."
Li Qingning pointed to the people on the bamboo mat and said to Master Li: "Come here."
The people on the ground got up again, went to feel Cui Ling's breath and pulse, and shook their heads again and again: "Miss Cui Ling hangs her breath just to wait for His Highness to come back."
Li Qingning pursed her lips without saying a word, stretched out her hand to close Cui Ling's eyes, her back was already half chilled.
There was no sound in the house for a moment.
Master Li was silent for a long time before saying: "Your Highness has been in the Imperial Medical Office for a long time, it's time to go back."
Li Qingning nodded slightly, she closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, there was only indifference, and then she said: "Please trouble your lord to settle Cui Ling for now, I will order someone to take her out of the palace."
"Yes." Master Li said with red eyes.
Staying here for too long would indeed arouse suspicion, so she stayed for a while before leaving the Imperial Medical Office.
After returning to Yangning Palace, Li Qingning said to Fangxin with a tired face: "You go and arrange a few people to bring Cui Ling out of the palace."
Fang Xin nodded: "Yes."
"I want..." Li Qingning paused for a moment: "I want a decent burial."
Fang's heart sank, and she quickly responded.
Li Qingning raised her hand and rubbed the center of her eyebrows, and said, "Wait a minute, there is one more thing."
"Please speak, Your Highness," Fang Xin said softly.
"I was careless before, so I sent a few shadows to sneak into the National Teacher's Mansion to investigate, be careful, and don't startle the snake." Li Qingning spoke slowly, "The tea that Cui Ling gave to the National Teacher may not have been given by someone else. The move was done by the national teacher himself, and he wanted to use this to get rid of Cui Ling."
The four words Cui Ling said when he left appeared in her mind, "the national teacher harmed me", and she thought of Cui Ling's unfinished sentence before, and felt that there were many doubts about this matter.
"Why did the national teacher harm Cui Ling?" Li Qingning closed her eyes, bent her index finger and tapped on the table a few times, "could it be that Cui Ling broke something?"
Fang Xin asked cautiously: "Your Highness, what else do you want to order?"
Li Qingning thought for a while and said, "Go and check again, what is the scorpion vine."
"Yes." Fang Xin replied.
Li Qingning's face was heavy, and she murmured, "I saved her, but I couldn't save her life. I went to Weifeng Island before I had time to look at her."
Fang Xin glanced at her worriedly, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness has done his best."
"Go down." Li Qingning waved her hand.
Only then did Fang Xin retreat.
After Fangxin left, Li Qingning suddenly remembered that she forgot to ask Imperial Physician Li what she and Xu Zong had done recently, and she got so close to him.
On the other side, in the magnificent hall.
Li Zaiyu raised his hand and said, "Uncle Emperor, please sit down."
King Feng Xian sat down at the table with a smile on his face, and Xian Yu also took his seat.
Although Li Zaiyu's complexion was as pale as onyx, his imposing manner was still there, "I was busy with affairs at the court, so I didn't have time to meet with you yesterday, and it was inconvenient to chat in detail at the banquet, so I had to neglect Uncle Huang, I hope Uncle Huang will forgive me."
"Your Majesty takes care of all kinds of opportunities every day, and the most important thing is to take care of state affairs." King Fengxian said with a smile.
Li Zaiyu nodded slightly: "This time the emperor's uncle really has a heart, I never thought that the emperor's uncle would travel thousands of miles to come here."
"How can I not attend the grand ceremony of the Thousand Autumn Festival?" King Fengxian said.
"In recent years, the frontier fortress has been stable, the commercial roads have been unimpeded, and the people in Fengxian City are peaceful. The emperor's uncle has really made a contribution. The emperor's uncle was able to come here in his busy schedule. I and the queen are very touched." Li Zaiyu picked up the tea cup and took a sip. .
"Your Majesty, you are being polite. This is what this king should do." King Feng Xian laughed at Yan Yan.
On the side, Xian Yu lowered her eyes, and from the corner of her eyes, she saw Li Zaiyu lowered her head to drink tea, so she raised her eyes and looked over.
I saw two monks sitting beside Li Zaiyu. I don't know which sect they belonged to, but their cultivation was quite high, so I couldn't tell the depth at the moment.
I didn't take a closer look at the banquet last time, but after looking at it this time, I only felt that Li Zaiyu's complexion was pale and blue, and his lips seemed to have a touch of purple, which was really weird.
Xian Yu frowned slightly, thinking that Li Zaiyu was not as simple as being ill.
In her previous life, she had never seen Li Zaiyu a few times, but when she saw him a few times, Li Zaiyu was half buried in the ground.
At that time, she didn't think much about it, and she didn't want to spend too much time on this person, so she missed it.
Looking closely at Li Zaiyu's complexion, there were faint signs of poisoning, but if he was poisoned, how could the imperial physician in the palace fail to diagnose him?
The monk next to Li Zaiyu suddenly looked at her, she calmly looked away, lowered her eyes and took a sip of hot tea.
Feng Xianwang and Li Zaiyu chatted a lot, Xian Yu listened, but most of them were in one ear and out in the other. After all, they were all insignificant things that were not easy to remember.
She secretly thought about what could make people gradually show signs of illness without being diagnosed by the imperial physician.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard Li Mingxian say: "The peace of Fengxian City depends on this fairy's advice and suggestions."
"I don't know which sect the fairy came from and what the fairy's name is." Li Zaiyu looked towards her.
Xian Yu put down the teacup in his hand, got up and saluted, restrained the glare in his eyes, and said slowly, "I'm a loose cultivator, whose surname is Yu and whose name is Yang."
When she sat down again, she noticed that the two monks beside Li Zaiyu looked puzzled, perhaps questioning her status as a casual cultivator.
Xian Yu didn't take it seriously, at worst, he would drag King Fengxian into the water, so he could be dealt with earlier.
In the empty hall, Li Zaiyu and King Feng Xian had a very happy conversation, and they didn't know whether it was real joy or fake joy, as soon as they chatted, they talked about the end of time.
After leaving the main hall, King Fengxian said that he wanted to leave the palace to do something. Xian Yu didn't want to go with him at first, but he wanted to know what King Fengxian was going to do.
On the carriage, King Fengxian asked: "The fairy can see what cultivation level the two people beside His Majesty just now are?"
Xian Yu said in a low voice: "As the top of the golden core, the palace didn't dare to take a closer look, but I only know that the cultivation of those two people is not low."
King Fengxian nodded slightly, "The clothes look like those of Xuzong or Lanrizong."
Xian Yu frowned, the two sects were so close to the second prince, even the ministers of the court could see it, and the emperor dared to use the two sects, it seemed that he had great trust in them.
The carriage rolled along, and after leaving the palace gate, it turned for a long time in the streets and alleys before stopping.
I can only hear that the surroundings are very noisy, as if in a busy city, in the air, there are many scents mixed together, either strong or light, sweet or sour.
Xian Yu frowned slightly, she only knew one place in the capital with such a strong fragrance.
After getting off the carriage, she looked up, and she really saw the words "Pinxiangfang" written on the plaque.
Half of the recipes in Pinxiangfang were created by Li Qingning, and this time King Feng Xian's visit must have something to do with Li Qingning.
"The concubine asked the king to bring back the spices from the Pinxiangfang, but the king has never been familiar with these things from his daughter's house, so he asked the fairy to help choose." King Fengxian said with an unchanged expression.
Under the tulle covering Xian Yu's face, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, wondering if King Feng Xian had questioned her relationship with Li Qingning, so he did everything possible to test her.
She smiled, knowing that King Fengxian wanted to use her, but she was on guard.
"I wonder what fragrance the princess prefers?" she asked.
"Osmanthus orchid fragrance, just sweet but not greasy." King Feng Xian said again.
Xian Yu walked into the incense tasting workshop, picked out a few pieces at random, including balm, sachet and incense, and handed them over to King Fengxian after choosing them.
"I don't know what kind of spice this product is from Xiangfang Town Store." King Fengxian asked suddenly.
Xian Yu shook his head, he just said that he didn't know when he first arrived in the capital.
King Feng Xian asked a lot more, but Xian Yu answered lightly and evasively. There was really nothing to ask, so the matter was left alone.
An hour later, in Yangning Palace.
Li Qingning was holding up her jade chopsticks when she suddenly saw a slender figure standing against the door.
The people outside the door restrained their breath, and even came with very light steps, so she didn't notice it for a while.
"Who?" She frowned, but she already had an answer in her heart.
Sure enough, someone outside the door pushed the door open without authorization.The vermilion brocade shoes stepped on the threshold, and the red dress was as hot as fire, as if burning to the bottom of her heart.
Under the trespasser's red dress was a fat white anklebone, thin and thin, making one want to tie something brightly colored on it.
Xian Yu walked in, closed the door behind his back, and said with a smile: "I wonder if Your Highness slept well last night."
Li Qingning put down her jade chopsticks, "Very good."
In fact, it was not the case. Although she closed her eyes last night, she was awake all night.
She was upset, and seeing the sly and proud face of the man in red, she glanced sideways and said calmly: "If the fish-goat fairy wants to see me, she needs to report it in advance."
Xian Yu paused, what kind of fish or sheep?
It was only then that she remembered the name she made up casually in the hall.
Fairy Yuyang took a deep breath, and she didn't know who told Li Qingning about it.She had forgotten it herself, but Li Qingning, who was narrow-minded, was thinking about it.
Chapter 43
43
"You sent someone to watch me?"
The man in red leaned against the door, his pair of star pupils narrowed slightly, and a teasing light flashed in his eyes.
She saw that Li Qingning retracted the unsalty eyes that fell on her, and picked up the jade chopsticks again in her lowered eyes, she became more and more sure that this person had something in her heart.
If not, how would Li Qingning know what happened in the hall.
She smiled inwardly, Li Qingning seemed to be indifferent to her, but she never thought that she was so worried about her, and even sent someone to watch her every move.
Want to come to that dream is extremely unforgettable, but it's a pity that she didn't see it even in the dream.
Just as Xian Yu was thinking hard, he arranged what Li Qingning did to her in the dream, but the man in Xuanyi who was sitting not far away said two words in a nonchalant way.
Li Qingning said lightly: "No."
Xian Yu choked up.
"It's just that the maids in the hall happened to hear it and passed it on, so I naturally knew about it." Li Qingning said.
Xian Yu sneered, "Your Highness is quite ambitious, and you even have people in the hall."
"You can't talk nonsense, slandering the royal family is a felony." Li Qingning said slowly.
Hearing this, the person leaning against the door walked over, sat on the drum stool by the table, propped his chin and said unhurriedly: "This is also a felony, and that is also a felony. Anyway, my whole body is full of sins, how about If you really do something to offend His Highness, then you won't be too wronged or suffer too much."
Xian Yu's slender five fingers rested lightly on the face, the face under the tulle was vague, and the diamond lips were slightly raised, as if they were stained with some lip balm.
She said outrageous words, but she had a very calm expression on her face, that haughty look was like a hook, trying to hang people's hearts forcibly.
"Your Highness, what do you think?" Seeing that she didn't answer, Xian Yu said slowly.
These words are obviously as soft as silk, but they seem to be forcing people to speak.
It was indeed like a hook, Li Qingning had been hoisted, her heart was hanging high, the tip of her heart was almost reaching her throat, and it was so itchy.
Li Qingning didn't turn her head to look, but her eyes moved slightly. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that the man in red beside him looked lazy and not in the slightest shape.
She slightly parted her red lips, and after a while she said without looking sideways: "Talk about how you want to offend Bengong."
Xian Yu's black hair hanging in front of her was winding on the table. She fixed her eyes on Li Qingning for a while, trying to find the slightest flaw in her face, but she never thought that this man's heart is like a rock, and he would not move at all. one time.
"How does Your Highness want me to offend you?" She asked back word by word.
Li Qingning really doesn't want to talk about this matter anymore. If it was in the past, she would never have thought of some embarrassing things, but the man in the dream "offended" her everywhere, and even seduced her to do some unsightly things in her dreams many times. things come.
"You don't even think about the consequences of offending Ben Gong?" Li Qing said coldly.
Xian Yu was indeed not afraid, not only was she not afraid, she even smiled, "At worst, I will be punished by His Highness."
Li Qingning was really afraid of her, when she mentioned punishment, she thought of red silk, and when she mentioned red silk, she thought of a ruler, which made her seem to have some unspeakable preference.
She didn't dare to turn her eyes, for fear that she would meet the pretendingly confused eyes of the person beside her in a blink of an eye.
The person beside her is a little less dignified, and her thoughts and actions are not serious, so she must not be in the same boat.
"I won't punish you." She heard these slightly hoarse words squeezed out between her lips and teeth.
Xian Yu sat at the side, simply leaned on the table, smiled and turned his eyes to look at the eldest princess who was sitting with her back straight.
She thought to herself, Mingming's eyes trembled a little, and she just pretended to look at the dishes in front of her, what's so good about the dishes on this table.
"Tell me, what do you want to say when you come here this time?" Li Qingning thought that this person did not come here for no reason.
Only then did Xian Yu restrain himself a little, "Your Highness has noticed that His Majesty may not be ill for no reason."
Li Qingning frowned, although she had thought about it, she was still not sure.
Hearing this, she turned her head to look at Chao Yu.
Just now he was scratching his head and posing, but the person who came out of the waves sat upright, "I followed King Feng Xian to meet His Majesty, and I saw that his complexion was strange, and he didn't seem to be caused by an ordinary serious illness."
Xian Yu thought about it carefully, and then said: "His complexion is pale and blue, but his lips are pale and purple, as if he has been poisoned."
"I also think it's a bit weird." Li Qingning frowned slightly.
Xian Yu nodded, and suddenly said bitterly: "He was followed by two monks, and he looked like he should belong to two sects, and his cultivation base should be quite deep. I couldn't tell the depth at the moment. I wonder if His Highness has seen it before. Those two?"
Li Qingning thought back carefully, she had only seen Li Zaiyu twice in the past few days since she came back, and he was indeed accompanied by two monks.
"The two sects can't stay idle, I'm afraid they have already interfered." She said lightly.
The more Xian Yu thought about it, the angrier she became. With her cultivation in her previous life, she would never fail to see the depth of these two people. If the Danyin remnants were in hand, she would have recovered her previous cultivation.
Who is to blame for this matter, not the sham princess.
"This is the first thing I want to talk about this time." Xian Yu's eyes gradually became sharper.
Li Qingning didn't understand why, she didn't know how this person changed his face, changed the subject, and even changed his name.
"If it wasn't for the fact that I can't break through the realm, it wouldn't be impossible to see what realm those two people are in for a moment." Xian Yu gritted his teeth.
"It's none of my business." Li Qingning's breathing was slightly stagnant.
"Are the remnants of Danyin on Weifeng Island or on you?" Xian Yu looked at her sideways.
Li Qingning frowned slightly, "What do you want the Danyin fragments to do?"
This matter is really incomprehensible, it rests in her heart like a pimple, and every time she thinks about it, she finds it hard to explain.
"What are you doing here?" She changed the subject.
Xian Yu said with a smile: "Didn't you say it, because His Highness gave me an extra look at the banquet, I was thinking about it, so I came."
Li Qingning knew that this person was surly and erratic, with no seriousness in his body, and somehow he was the same person as the ignorant and ignorant child before.
After thinking about it, she frowned and asked, "What did you do to act like a child before?"
Xian Yu got used to the flickering candlelight, and then turned her body slightly, wanting to cast a sideways glance at Li Qingning behind her.
There was candlelight in her eyes, and when the candlelight moved slightly, there seemed to be light flowing in her eyes, as expected, like autumn water.
"Your Highness thought I was pretending when I was a child, why don't you guess that my appearance is fake." She said slowly.
Li Qingning frowned, "There are bone shrinking techniques to follow from growing up to being young, but I haven't heard of it on the contrary."
Besides, before she went to the Ceasefire Palace, the man in red had already entered her dream. According to the first-come-first-served basis, the man in red should have disguised himself as a child.
Although she thought so, everything was still hard to say.
Xian Yu raised the corners of her lips, the gauze bead curtain on her face was still covering her face, her expression was heavy under the shadowy light, "Your Highness is really icy and smart, and revealed my secret with one word."
Hearing her relaxed tone, Li Qingning seemed to answer casually, and couldn't help questioning the authenticity of her words.
Xian Yu didn't say any more, and didn't make fun of it, but stopped there, which was really not her style.
She really didn't want to go on, ordinary people don't know about Aoxian Mountain and Bishenghua, those who know Bishenghua naturally know how difficult those seven days were.
You can't seek death but you can survive. For thousands of years, there are only a handful of people who have survived the pain of rebirth from cracked bones and reunion of broken tendons.
Why to avoid Li Qingning feeling sorry for her in the future, it's better not to talk about it.
Li Qingning walked around in front of her, reaching out to untie the red silk tied around the white jade's arms, but the bound person shrank back, as if unwilling to let go.
I don't know what this cunning person is up to, she frowned and said: "You have also seen Bengong, and you have asked questions, why are you still hanging on?"
Xian Yu sat on the yellow pear wood drum stool, leaned back a little lazily, and said, "I don't want to leave, Your Highness just tore my clothes, and I haven't said how to take responsibility."
Her collar was still slightly open, and her outer and inner clothes were in a mess, the clothes were red, and the white jade snow skin was hidden underneath.
Li Qingning turned her eyes away, withdrew her hand to her side, and said coldly: "I haven't pursued your crime of trespassing yet, not only that, but also being rude and offensive."
Hearing this, Xian Yu chuckled, "Senior Sister, don't punish Yu'er, Yu'er's hand hurts, so I want to blow it off."
Li Qingning choked for a moment, and couldn't help looking down at the lazily sitting person in front of her, her expression very indescribable.
"Untie the red silk by yourself, and walk out of the room by yourself, don't let me drive you away." She suppressed the throbbing in her heart, and said slowly.
Seeing her flickering eyes, Xian Yu said triumphantly: "I saw His Highness glanced at me at the banquet. There were so many people and it was hard to talk, so I thought His Highness wanted to invite me here."
She paused, and then said: "Thinking about it, doing this kind of thing secretly is really not good for my girl's reputation, but I really want to know why Your Highness is looking at me so much, so I sneaked into this place with uneasiness. Unexpectedly, when His Highness opened his eyes, he wanted to belittle me and drive me away."
Li Qingning: ...
"Turn right and wrong." She said in a stern voice.
Xian Yu blinked her eyes, "In short, if His Highness doesn't give an explanation, I won't leave."
"What do you want to say." Li Qingning asked.
Xian Yu raised his jaw slightly, and paused every word, "Just now, what did Your Highness dream about?"
Li Qingning pursed her lips, "This matter has nothing to do with you."
Xian Yu said "Oh", the tone was twisted and twisted a thousand times, it was really yin and yang.
She watched Li Qingning's dark expression, pursing her lips to avoid talking, and thought about Li Qingning's every move when she opened her eyes just now, she immediately understood.
Oh, being prudish, you must be tearing her clothes in your dream again!
It seems that it would be great to take a sip of Mengpo soup before being reborn. Although I can't recognize her, the dream is still lingering. This kind of feeling of being revived is very...
Very exciting.
Xian Yu didn't want to leave, she really wanted to know what would happen if she stayed in this room overnight.
Li Qingning drank another glass of water, one after another, but the feeling of dry mouth still did not ease.
In this candle-lit room, the man in red was dressed in red, and his jade-white neck was slightly exposed between his black hair.
The man in red was still tied with his hands, and he neither broke free by himself nor let her untie them.
The two stood in a stalemate for a long time.
After a long while, Li Qingning said: "Forget it, I'm exhausted, so I won't pursue your matter any more."
There was a chuckle in the room.
Xian Yu turned her head, she knew that Li Qingning was really tired, and she didn't want to torment her anymore, so she said, "Then I have to thank Your Highness."
Li Qingning didn't dare to say anything, she was afraid that this matter would never end.
But even if she didn't say a word, the beauty in red is not so easy to dismiss.
Xian Yu immediately said: "We haven't seen each other for a long time. Today is a good day. It is better to hit the sun than to choose a day. I wonder if His Highness would like to let me stay here overnight, so that we can catch up with each other."
Li Qingning's forehead twitched, she was really tired, the stamina of the unloading pill was not so easy to bear, now she was tired, and she didn't even want to talk anymore.
"That's all, you can take care of yourself." She said lightly.
Xian Yu raised her eyebrows, stood up and turned to Li Qingning.
She raised her bound hands, opened her mouth slightly to reveal her white teeth, stared at the hypocritical eldest princess with her eyes for a moment, lowered her head slowly, and bit the red silk that bound her hands.
The teeth are white and the tongue is pink.
The lips and tongue were very sharp, biting off the tight red ribbon in one go.
Li Qingning's heart skipped a beat when she was stared at. She felt her breath getting chaotic, and her whole body seemed to be on fire. She almost fell into a magic barrier, and wanted to capture the man in red who was pretending to be in front of her.
Xian Yu was not polite, and when she got the consent, she walked to the side of the beauty's couch, and lay down on it without taking off her outer shirt. She said with a smile, "It's been a long night, senior sister, let's rest earlier."
Li Qingning suddenly didn't know whose residence this bedroom belonged to, somehow she seemed to be the guest.
It was very quiet at night, and there was not even the slightest sound inside or outside the house.
Li Qingning's tiredness was swept away, and she couldn't fall asleep for some reason.
Turning her eyes, she suddenly saw the figure on the narrow couch in the distance.
The beauty is lying on her side, her long hair is winding down to the ground, and the veil-like veil slipped to her shoulders.Her legs were slightly curled up, Yubai's feet were bare, the insteps were slightly hooked, she didn't know if it was cold.
This idea just popped up and then disappeared, how can a monk in this realm be afraid of the cold.
The last time they slept in the same room, this Xian Yu was still a child, she wanted to catch the fox's tail at that time, but she didn't dare to take it lightly, lest the other party suddenly kill him at night.
Now that they are in the same room again, their mood is very different, and they have no time to think about what this person will do at night.
She really couldn't sleep, she was so tired.
This Feng Xianyu was clearly here to torture her.
In the early morning of the next day, Xian Yu left Yangning Palace very early, before going through the gate, she climbed out from the wall of the backyard, lest someone with ulterior motives would see her coming out of Li Qingning's bedroom.
She is a member of the Ceasefire Palace and also a counselor of King Fengxian, if she is seen, it will be difficult to explain.
Speaking of which, the emperor also expressed his favor to the Ceasefire Palace, intending to recruit the Demon Palace under his command, but Feng Ceasefire didn't express it.
Now if the emperor knew that the people in the Ceasefire Palace followed King Feng Xian, he would be pissed to death.
After returning, I saw two court ladies falling asleep on the stone table in the inner courtyard, and there was a porcelain bottle on the table, which was probably filled with the medicine for bloating.
She approached quietly, picked up the porcelain bottle, poured out a brown pill, and crushed it in her palm.
The corners of his lips curled up, and he entered the room lightly, and then pretended to just wake up, and pushed the door open from the inside.
With a creak, the two maids woke up immediately.
One of them turned back with sleepy eyes open, was stunned for a moment when he saw Xian Yu, and asked in surprise, "When did the fairy come back last night?"
"I talked to the prince about some things, and I came back when I was ugly." Xian Yu said softly.
The other person stood up immediately after hearing the words: "This servant is here to help the fairy wash up."
Xian Yu's eyes curved slightly: "No need, I've already taken the medicine for abdominal distention, and I'm much better now."
The two maids showed shame on their faces, and one of them lowered his head and said falteringly: "The prince must blame the servants for not taking good care of them."
"How could it be?" Xian Yu smiled, looking very friendly.
Later, the person sent by King Fengxian arrived again, and led her to see King Fengxian, and then together with King Fengxian, they had an audience with the emperor.
On the way to see King Feng Xian, he never expected to meet Li Qingning's step, and that step stopped suddenly, Xian Yu couldn't help but also paused.
The maid who was leading the way hurriedly bowed her body and saluted without daring to raise her head.
Xian Yu raised his head slightly, and looked at the eldest princess who was sitting on the seat in a black dress.
Li Qingning looked down at her, his eyes were as quiet as water, although they were still indifferent, they were less alienated.
The person in the seat raised his hand slightly, and the four of them carried the flower on their backs and continued on their way.
After walking far away, Master Li who was following Bu Huo said, "Your Highness, is that fairy familiar?"
"Fair." Li Qingning said calmly.
Master Li asked again: "I don't know if that fairy has a good match?"
Li Qingning frowned, his face suddenly turned cold, "I don't know."
Master Li sighed: "I heard that the eldest disciple of Xu Zong is about to choose a partner. I think that the fairy looks pretty good with that first disciple. I wonder if your highness can..."
"No." Li Qingning paused for a moment. Seeing that Mr. Li was full of doubts, she said coldly: "She is just young and mature, but she is still young."
"...how young?" Master Li took a deep breath.
"It's hard to say." Li Qingning said lightly.
She said so on her lips, but she said in her heart——
Very young, it's really hard to say, maybe only seven years old.
Chapter 42
42
"That, that's really a pity." Mr. Li said.
"When did the imperial physician become so familiar with people from Xu Zong?" Li Qingning said without much fluctuation.
"Then and Xu Zong..." Master Li glanced around, then looked up at Li Qingning, and stopped for a long time before saying: "When we arrive at the Imperial Medical Office, I will talk to His Highness in detail."
Li Qingning frowned slightly, she remembered that Mr. Li was not such a cautious and suspicious character, it seemed that this matter was deeply involved.
Mr. Li is in the Imperial Medical Office, if it is not an intractable disease, he usually does not need to take action.
After yesterday's banquet, she called Mr. Li to Yangning Palace, but she didn't want to see a doctor, she just wanted to ask Mr. Li about someone under the guise of being ill, but unexpectedly fell asleep from exhaustion, and was stalked by someone when she woke up. up.
Li Qingning rubbed between her brows, thinking of what happened last night, she felt it was ridiculous.
Lord Li followed the steps in a regular manner, and after a while he said: "Your Highness looks much better this time, and his complexion is rosy and radiant. I think the water and soil of the fairy island are quite nourishing."
Li Qingning didn't say a word, but said in her heart, her complexion is ruddy?It must have been angry last night.
Master Li thought for a while and then said: "I heard that His Highness has been feeling tired for the past few days. I just checked His Highness's pulse and found nothing unusual. I think it's because I was tired from walking and I haven't recovered yet."
Li Qingning nodded: "Maybe so."
Even people from the two major sects can rarely obtain Xie Yuan Pill's extraordinary medicine, after all, the medicinal materials for refining this Pill are quite difficult to find.
Besides, Master Li is just a mortal, and there is no one in the palace who specializes in the pills used by monks, so he must not know that her current symptoms are actually caused by Xieyuan pills.
When they arrived at the Imperial Medical Office, Fang Xin and a group of maids waited outside the door, while Li Qingning and Master Li, who was carrying a wooden box, stepped into the gate with a red plaque and gold letters.
The medicine boy and maid in the room stopped their movements and bowed to Li Qingning together.
Lord Li handed over the wooden box containing the medicine bottle and silver needles to the welcoming maid, raised his hand and said, "Your Highness, come with me."
Li Qingning nodded slightly, and followed.
Mr. Li walked into the inner courtyard, glanced back, and then walked cautiously along the long corridor to a side room with a coarse cloth covering the door.
A short, stocky drug boy stood by the door, holding a tray with both hands, and inside the tray was a white cloth to cover his face.
Master Li pointed at the tray with his palm facing upwards, and said in a low voice, "Please, Your Highness."
Li Qingning picked up a piece of white cloth and covered her face.
After Master Li covered his mouth and nose, he raised the curtain and walked into the room.
I saw a woman in Tsing Yi with a sallow complexion lying on the bamboo mat. The woman was so thin that she was skinny, as if she had become an unconscious skeleton, making it impossible to see her original face.
Master Li let out a long sigh, and suddenly knelt down on the ground, "I am helpless, I have failed His Highness's expectations."
Li Qingning pursed her lips, stared at the person lying on the bamboo mat with her eyes for a moment, and said after a long time: "Mr. Li, please, I have no hope at all. Your lord's ability to save her life is already a good way to rejuvenate." .”
Master Li just got up from the ground and said with a sigh: "In the past month, the girl has been given needles and medicine, and the girl can finally wake up, but she can't eat, so she can only be fed liquid food, but she eats very little every day. He often coughs up blood and vomits, I really have no way to recover."
Li Qingning nodded slightly, "My lord has done his best."
She observed that the eyes of the people on the bamboo mat were tightly closed, they could not move, their breathing was almost non-existent, as if they had already passed away, and after a long time, she asked again: "Can she wake up now?"
"Can it be possible..." Mr. Li hesitated to speak.
"What?" Li Qingning frowned.
Master Li frowned tightly: "It's just an injection. After the injection, you can only be conscious for a moment, and then you will pass out again."
Li Qingning pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Then give the needle."
"Yes." Master Li sighed, "The waiter will fetch the silver needle."
After finishing speaking, he lifted the curtain and walked out, calling away the little boy standing at the door.
In the bright wing room, the breath of the people on the bamboo mat was faint, and Li Qingning was looking down at her.
Li Qingning closed and opened her eyes, stepped a little closer, and saw it more clearly.
The woman on the bamboo mat was wearing a luxurious brocade suit. Just by looking at her attire, one could tell that she was not a maid in the palace.
Indeed not, this woman is the assistant of the imperial teacher of the current dynasty, she was picked up and raised by the imperial teacher since she was a child, and she has known Li Qingning well since she was a child.
But even so, if the people in the palace saw her again, they would no longer recognize her.
Not to mention that she is so thin that she is completely out of shape, moreover, everyone in the palace thinks that she is dead.
Li Qingning frowned, her heart sank slightly, she rescued the person who was mistaken for having a cold.
But after a while, Master Li took a needle bag, opened it, carefully selected it, and pierced several silver needles into the woman's head and shoulders one by one.
"Your Highness, wait for a moment." Master Li was sweating profusely. He seemed a little nervous, but his hand that was just doing the needle was still very steady.
After a while, the eyes of the woman lying on the bamboo mat trembled, and she saw the eyelids slowly lifted up, and a pair of eyes that were already cloudy and diffuse opened.
The woman's already weak breath became more rapid, and her eyes were wide open, as if she hadn't recovered yet.
Li Qingning looked at her quietly and said, "Cui Ling."
Cui Ling was stunned for a moment, staring at the sound with her sunken eyes, she turned her head with difficulty, as if she couldn't see the person beside the bed clearly, she squinted her eyes hard, and after a long time, she spoke in a hoarse voice. : "Your Highness."
"I'm coming back late." Li Qingning said calmly.
Tears flowed from Cui Ling's haggard eyes, she turned sideways suddenly, and fell weakly on the bamboo mat, the muscles and bones of her hands clutched at the edge of the mat protruding.
Li Qingning's pupils shrank suddenly, her breath became a little chaotic, and a trace of panic appeared on her originally calm face.
"Don't move." She said coldly.
Cui Ling's face was full of tears, and he said in a hoarse voice: "His Royal Highness has finally returned, Cui Ling's time is short, some things can only be said to His Highness."
Li Qingning's heart skipped a beat, and she turned her head and said to Mr. Li, "My lord."
Master Li immediately understood, he hesitated for a moment, seeing that Cui Ling was already looking back, he sighed, put his hands in front of him, and slowly backed away.
In the room, Cui Ling breathed heavily and said: "Your Highness, the national teacher is no longer..."
"What is it?" Li Qingning bent down, unable to hear clearly, she said again: "Don't worry, calm down first, and speak slowly."
Cui Ling opened her mouth wide, exuding a deadly air all over her body, she shook her head violently and said, "I can't wait..."
Li Qingning raised her hand, and just when she was about to use spiritual energy to regulate her, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by the hand that looked as thin as a withered tree.
Cui Ling grasped it tightly, as if trying to use up all her strength, "Scorpion tail vine..."
"Cui Ling, stop talking, calm down!" Li Qingning's lips trembled, she didn't expect her to speak so recklessly.
Cui Ling seemed to be exhausting all her energy, she paused every word, almost breaking her white teeth, "Your Majesty...Scorpiontail Vine..."
"National, national teacher harmed me..." The hoarse voice like grinding iron came to an abrupt end.
The strength in Li Qingning's hand immediately loosened, and she swayed down with the thick cloth covering her face. Her breathing was stagnant, and she only felt the force around her wrist suddenly lighten.
The hand holding her landed on the bamboo mat with a thud.
Cui Ling's eyes were still staring, but she was gone.
"Doctor Li!" Li Qingning said in a loud voice.
Master Li came in in a hurry, seeing the people on the bamboo mat staring and not moving, he didn't look forward and knelt down, "Your Highness, Miss Cui Ling has gone."
Li Qingning pointed to the people on the bamboo mat and said to Master Li: "Come here."
The people on the ground got up again, went to feel Cui Ling's breath and pulse, and shook their heads again and again: "Miss Cui Ling hangs her breath just to wait for His Highness to come back."
Li Qingning pursed her lips without saying a word, stretched out her hand to close Cui Ling's eyes, her back was already half chilled.
There was no sound in the house for a moment.
Master Li was silent for a long time before saying: "Your Highness has been in the Imperial Medical Office for a long time, it's time to go back."
Li Qingning nodded slightly, she closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, there was only indifference, and then she said: "Please trouble your lord to settle Cui Ling for now, I will order someone to take her out of the palace."
"Yes." Master Li said with red eyes.
Staying here for too long would indeed arouse suspicion, so she stayed for a while before leaving the Imperial Medical Office.
After returning to Yangning Palace, Li Qingning said to Fangxin with a tired face: "You go and arrange a few people to bring Cui Ling out of the palace."
Fang Xin nodded: "Yes."
"I want..." Li Qingning paused for a moment: "I want a decent burial."
Fang's heart sank, and she quickly responded.
Li Qingning raised her hand and rubbed the center of her eyebrows, and said, "Wait a minute, there is one more thing."
"Please speak, Your Highness," Fang Xin said softly.
"I was careless before, so I sent a few shadows to sneak into the National Teacher's Mansion to investigate, be careful, and don't startle the snake." Li Qingning spoke slowly, "The tea that Cui Ling gave to the National Teacher may not have been given by someone else. The move was done by the national teacher himself, and he wanted to use this to get rid of Cui Ling."
The four words Cui Ling said when he left appeared in her mind, "the national teacher harmed me", and she thought of Cui Ling's unfinished sentence before, and felt that there were many doubts about this matter.
"Why did the national teacher harm Cui Ling?" Li Qingning closed her eyes, bent her index finger and tapped on the table a few times, "could it be that Cui Ling broke something?"
Fang Xin asked cautiously: "Your Highness, what else do you want to order?"
Li Qingning thought for a while and said, "Go and check again, what is the scorpion vine."
"Yes." Fang Xin replied.
Li Qingning's face was heavy, and she murmured, "I saved her, but I couldn't save her life. I went to Weifeng Island before I had time to look at her."
Fang Xin glanced at her worriedly, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness has done his best."
"Go down." Li Qingning waved her hand.
Only then did Fang Xin retreat.
After Fangxin left, Li Qingning suddenly remembered that she forgot to ask Imperial Physician Li what she and Xu Zong had done recently, and she got so close to him.
On the other side, in the magnificent hall.
Li Zaiyu raised his hand and said, "Uncle Emperor, please sit down."
King Feng Xian sat down at the table with a smile on his face, and Xian Yu also took his seat.
Although Li Zaiyu's complexion was as pale as onyx, his imposing manner was still there, "I was busy with affairs at the court, so I didn't have time to meet with you yesterday, and it was inconvenient to chat in detail at the banquet, so I had to neglect Uncle Huang, I hope Uncle Huang will forgive me."
"Your Majesty takes care of all kinds of opportunities every day, and the most important thing is to take care of state affairs." King Fengxian said with a smile.
Li Zaiyu nodded slightly: "This time the emperor's uncle really has a heart, I never thought that the emperor's uncle would travel thousands of miles to come here."
"How can I not attend the grand ceremony of the Thousand Autumn Festival?" King Fengxian said.
"In recent years, the frontier fortress has been stable, the commercial roads have been unimpeded, and the people in Fengxian City are peaceful. The emperor's uncle has really made a contribution. The emperor's uncle was able to come here in his busy schedule. I and the queen are very touched." Li Zaiyu picked up the tea cup and took a sip. .
"Your Majesty, you are being polite. This is what this king should do." King Feng Xian laughed at Yan Yan.
On the side, Xian Yu lowered her eyes, and from the corner of her eyes, she saw Li Zaiyu lowered her head to drink tea, so she raised her eyes and looked over.
I saw two monks sitting beside Li Zaiyu. I don't know which sect they belonged to, but their cultivation was quite high, so I couldn't tell the depth at the moment.
I didn't take a closer look at the banquet last time, but after looking at it this time, I only felt that Li Zaiyu's complexion was pale and blue, and his lips seemed to have a touch of purple, which was really weird.
Xian Yu frowned slightly, thinking that Li Zaiyu was not as simple as being ill.
In her previous life, she had never seen Li Zaiyu a few times, but when she saw him a few times, Li Zaiyu was half buried in the ground.
At that time, she didn't think much about it, and she didn't want to spend too much time on this person, so she missed it.
Looking closely at Li Zaiyu's complexion, there were faint signs of poisoning, but if he was poisoned, how could the imperial physician in the palace fail to diagnose him?
The monk next to Li Zaiyu suddenly looked at her, she calmly looked away, lowered her eyes and took a sip of hot tea.
Feng Xianwang and Li Zaiyu chatted a lot, Xian Yu listened, but most of them were in one ear and out in the other. After all, they were all insignificant things that were not easy to remember.
She secretly thought about what could make people gradually show signs of illness without being diagnosed by the imperial physician.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard Li Mingxian say: "The peace of Fengxian City depends on this fairy's advice and suggestions."
"I don't know which sect the fairy came from and what the fairy's name is." Li Zaiyu looked towards her.
Xian Yu put down the teacup in his hand, got up and saluted, restrained the glare in his eyes, and said slowly, "I'm a loose cultivator, whose surname is Yu and whose name is Yang."
When she sat down again, she noticed that the two monks beside Li Zaiyu looked puzzled, perhaps questioning her status as a casual cultivator.
Xian Yu didn't take it seriously, at worst, he would drag King Fengxian into the water, so he could be dealt with earlier.
In the empty hall, Li Zaiyu and King Feng Xian had a very happy conversation, and they didn't know whether it was real joy or fake joy, as soon as they chatted, they talked about the end of time.
After leaving the main hall, King Fengxian said that he wanted to leave the palace to do something. Xian Yu didn't want to go with him at first, but he wanted to know what King Fengxian was going to do.
On the carriage, King Fengxian asked: "The fairy can see what cultivation level the two people beside His Majesty just now are?"
Xian Yu said in a low voice: "As the top of the golden core, the palace didn't dare to take a closer look, but I only know that the cultivation of those two people is not low."
King Fengxian nodded slightly, "The clothes look like those of Xuzong or Lanrizong."
Xian Yu frowned, the two sects were so close to the second prince, even the ministers of the court could see it, and the emperor dared to use the two sects, it seemed that he had great trust in them.
The carriage rolled along, and after leaving the palace gate, it turned for a long time in the streets and alleys before stopping.
I can only hear that the surroundings are very noisy, as if in a busy city, in the air, there are many scents mixed together, either strong or light, sweet or sour.
Xian Yu frowned slightly, she only knew one place in the capital with such a strong fragrance.
After getting off the carriage, she looked up, and she really saw the words "Pinxiangfang" written on the plaque.
Half of the recipes in Pinxiangfang were created by Li Qingning, and this time King Feng Xian's visit must have something to do with Li Qingning.
"The concubine asked the king to bring back the spices from the Pinxiangfang, but the king has never been familiar with these things from his daughter's house, so he asked the fairy to help choose." King Fengxian said with an unchanged expression.
Under the tulle covering Xian Yu's face, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, wondering if King Feng Xian had questioned her relationship with Li Qingning, so he did everything possible to test her.
She smiled, knowing that King Fengxian wanted to use her, but she was on guard.
"I wonder what fragrance the princess prefers?" she asked.
"Osmanthus orchid fragrance, just sweet but not greasy." King Feng Xian said again.
Xian Yu walked into the incense tasting workshop, picked out a few pieces at random, including balm, sachet and incense, and handed them over to King Fengxian after choosing them.
"I don't know what kind of spice this product is from Xiangfang Town Store." King Fengxian asked suddenly.
Xian Yu shook his head, he just said that he didn't know when he first arrived in the capital.
King Feng Xian asked a lot more, but Xian Yu answered lightly and evasively. There was really nothing to ask, so the matter was left alone.
An hour later, in Yangning Palace.
Li Qingning was holding up her jade chopsticks when she suddenly saw a slender figure standing against the door.
The people outside the door restrained their breath, and even came with very light steps, so she didn't notice it for a while.
"Who?" She frowned, but she already had an answer in her heart.
Sure enough, someone outside the door pushed the door open without authorization.The vermilion brocade shoes stepped on the threshold, and the red dress was as hot as fire, as if burning to the bottom of her heart.
Under the trespasser's red dress was a fat white anklebone, thin and thin, making one want to tie something brightly colored on it.
Xian Yu walked in, closed the door behind his back, and said with a smile: "I wonder if Your Highness slept well last night."
Li Qingning put down her jade chopsticks, "Very good."
In fact, it was not the case. Although she closed her eyes last night, she was awake all night.
She was upset, and seeing the sly and proud face of the man in red, she glanced sideways and said calmly: "If the fish-goat fairy wants to see me, she needs to report it in advance."
Xian Yu paused, what kind of fish or sheep?
It was only then that she remembered the name she made up casually in the hall.
Fairy Yuyang took a deep breath, and she didn't know who told Li Qingning about it.She had forgotten it herself, but Li Qingning, who was narrow-minded, was thinking about it.

"You sent someone to watch me?"
The man in red leaned against the door, his pair of star pupils narrowed slightly, and a teasing light flashed in his eyes.
She saw that Li Qingning retracted the unsalty eyes that fell on her, and picked up the jade chopsticks again in her lowered eyes, she became more and more sure that this person had something in her heart.
If not, how would Li Qingning know what happened in the hall.
She smiled inwardly, Li Qingning seemed to be indifferent to her, but she never thought that she was so worried about her, and even sent someone to watch her every move.
Want to come to that dream is extremely unforgettable, but it's a pity that she didn't see it even in the dream.
Just as Xian Yu was thinking hard, he arranged what Li Qingning did to her in the dream, but the man in Xuanyi who was sitting not far away said two words in a nonchalant way.
Li Qingning said lightly: "No."
Xian Yu choked up.
"It's just that the maids in the hall happened to hear it and passed it on, so I naturally knew about it." Li Qingning said.
Xian Yu sneered, "Your Highness is quite ambitious, and you even have people in the hall."
"You can't talk nonsense, slandering the royal family is a felony." Li Qingning said slowly.
Hearing this, the person leaning against the door walked over, sat on the drum stool by the table, propped his chin and said unhurriedly: "This is also a felony, and that is also a felony. Anyway, my whole body is full of sins, how about If you really do something to offend His Highness, then you won't be too wronged or suffer too much."
Xian Yu's slender five fingers rested lightly on the face, the face under the tulle was vague, and the diamond lips were slightly raised, as if they were stained with some lip balm.
She said outrageous words, but she had a very calm expression on her face, that haughty look was like a hook, trying to hang people's hearts forcibly.
"Your Highness, what do you think?" Seeing that she didn't answer, Xian Yu said slowly.
These words are obviously as soft as silk, but they seem to be forcing people to speak.
It was indeed like a hook, Li Qingning had been hoisted, her heart was hanging high, the tip of her heart was almost reaching her throat, and it was so itchy.
Li Qingning didn't turn her head to look, but her eyes moved slightly. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that the man in red beside him looked lazy and not in the slightest shape.
She slightly parted her red lips, and after a while she said without looking sideways: "Talk about how you want to offend Bengong."
Xian Yu's black hair hanging in front of her was winding on the table. She fixed her eyes on Li Qingning for a while, trying to find the slightest flaw in her face, but she never thought that this man's heart is like a rock, and he would not move at all. one time.
"How does Your Highness want me to offend you?" She asked back word by word.
Li Qingning really doesn't want to talk about this matter anymore. If it was in the past, she would never have thought of some embarrassing things, but the man in the dream "offended" her everywhere, and even seduced her to do some unsightly things in her dreams many times. things come.
"You don't even think about the consequences of offending Ben Gong?" Li Qing said coldly.
Xian Yu was indeed not afraid, not only was she not afraid, she even smiled, "At worst, I will be punished by His Highness."
Li Qingning was really afraid of her, when she mentioned punishment, she thought of red silk, and when she mentioned red silk, she thought of a ruler, which made her seem to have some unspeakable preference.
She didn't dare to turn her eyes, for fear that she would meet the pretendingly confused eyes of the person beside her in a blink of an eye.
The person beside her is a little less dignified, and her thoughts and actions are not serious, so she must not be in the same boat.
"I won't punish you." She heard these slightly hoarse words squeezed out between her lips and teeth.
Xian Yu sat at the side, simply leaned on the table, smiled and turned his eyes to look at the eldest princess who was sitting with her back straight.
She thought to herself, Mingming's eyes trembled a little, and she just pretended to look at the dishes in front of her, what's so good about the dishes on this table.
"Tell me, what do you want to say when you come here this time?" Li Qingning thought that this person did not come here for no reason.
Only then did Xian Yu restrain himself a little, "Your Highness has noticed that His Majesty may not be ill for no reason."
Li Qingning frowned, although she had thought about it, she was still not sure.
Hearing this, she turned her head to look at Chao Yu.
Just now he was scratching his head and posing, but the person who came out of the waves sat upright, "I followed King Feng Xian to meet His Majesty, and I saw that his complexion was strange, and he didn't seem to be caused by an ordinary serious illness."
Xian Yu thought about it carefully, and then said: "His complexion is pale and blue, but his lips are pale and purple, as if he has been poisoned."
"I also think it's a bit weird." Li Qingning frowned slightly.
Xian Yu nodded, and suddenly said bitterly: "He was followed by two monks, and he looked like he should belong to two sects, and his cultivation base should be quite deep. I couldn't tell the depth at the moment. I wonder if His Highness has seen it before. Those two?"
Li Qingning thought back carefully, she had only seen Li Zaiyu twice in the past few days since she came back, and he was indeed accompanied by two monks.
"The two sects can't stay idle, I'm afraid they have already interfered." She said lightly.
The more Xian Yu thought about it, the angrier she became. With her cultivation in her previous life, she would never fail to see the depth of these two people. If the Danyin remnants were in hand, she would have recovered her previous cultivation.
Who is to blame for this matter, not the sham princess.
"This is the first thing I want to talk about this time." Xian Yu's eyes gradually became sharper.
Li Qingning didn't understand why, she didn't know how this person changed his face, changed the subject, and even changed his name.
"If it wasn't for the fact that I can't break through the realm, it wouldn't be impossible to see what realm those two people are in for a moment." Xian Yu gritted his teeth.
"It's none of my business." Li Qingning's breathing was slightly stagnant.
"Are the remnants of Danyin on Weifeng Island or on you?" Xian Yu looked at her sideways.
Li Qingning frowned slightly, "What do you want the Danyin fragments to do?"
