Don't help me, I can sit up by myself

Chapter 60 Miko
The eunuchs and maids in the Taihe Palace also noticed that the air pressure was wrong.

So they all shrank their heads, not daring to take a step closer to the emperor, for fear that if they behaved inappropriately, they would violate the emperor's taboo, or that Shangguan Yun'er would be displeased by entering the Supreme Harmony Palace with his left foot and be assigned to Lord Yelang.

"Are we just going to send Du Jiyan and Shi Jing? Is there too few people? I heard that Mr. Yelang currently has 178 wives and concubines, so I might as well make up a team of 22 people. Adding those 178, there will be exactly 200 people." The emperor held up the writing brush and thought: "The queen is idle when she is idle. There is no serious use in keeping it. It is better to send the queen to her together."

a bolt from the blue.

The queen was standing outside the Taihe Palace with ginseng chicken soup.

I heard that the emperor had been in a state of madness recently, and her sister Wei Zhaoning was always worried about the emperor's health. She had prepared ginseng and black-bone chicken soup early, and asked her to bring the chicken soup to the emperor.

I knew I shouldn't have come.

In the past, I didn't want to panic at all when I didn't see the emperor for ten days and a half. More importantly, I didn't get angry when I didn't see the emperor.

Now I heard that the emperor said that he would send her to Yelang.

The first blow made the queen almost drop her bowl, and a white light in her head made her a little dizzy.

I regret that I should have come to Taihe Palace.

Why would I go to Taihe Palace to endure such a thing when I was eating and drinking in Jingren Palace and being served by eunuchs and maids?

Stop loss in time.

The queen decisively turned around and strode back to Jingren Palace.

I drank the ginseng chicken soup in the bowl while it was hot. It warmed my stomach and made me feel better.

Shangguan Yun'er laughed loudly: "It's better to forget the queen's beauty. But if Du and Shi go to Yelang, the emperor must accompany them with some dowry, right?"

The emperor hesitated.

Is there something wrong?
He gave away his concubine and paid a dowry?

Shangguan Yun'er hugged the emperor's neck: "According to Yelang's custom, a woman must bring her own dowry when she marries to her husband's family. If the emperor is willing to prepare a generous dowry for them, then Yelang Jun will definitely be happy. When the time comes, Du The situation of the two of them will be better."

"Then... what kind of dowry is appropriate?"

When a woman from the Chen State gets married, the man gives a betrothal gift and the woman gives a dowry. The dowry list includes a bed, a complete set of tables and chairs, a cabinet with treasures, a 24-frame carved wardrobe, a gold-painted flower box, a coral screen couch, and a double bed. Luanling flower bronze mirrors, white jade flower combs, tea cups and dishes, enamel vases and other utensils, some more rigorous families even prepared the coffin for the woman after her death.

After hearing the emperor say that there were so many dowries, Shangguan Yun'er just leaned on the desk and smiled: "These things are too trivial. It is not cost-effective to transport them thousands of miles, and it is also very dangerous."

"You mean, convert it into gold and silver?"

"It doesn't have to be."

"That is?"

"In my opinion, the emperor can give two of the cities in the northwest of the Chen Kingdom to Yelang as dowries for Du and Shi. Although the northwest cities are poorer, Lord Yelang is generous, so he probably won't mind."

"This is a very good idea." The Emperor took Shangguan Yun'er's hand and said, "After thinking about it, I will give the two cities of Yongxing City and Luoli City in the northwest to Lord Yelang."

The emperor was writing and drawing on the brocade, while Shangguan Yun'er lay there and stared at it meticulously.

Until the emperor finished writing, he drew two more cities.

Shangguan Yun'er quickly picked up the imperial seal.

The Chuanguo Jade Seal, also known as the Chuanguo Seal, is four inches in diameter and is handed over to the five dragons. On the front are engraved the words "Ordered by Heaven, and you will live forever" to show that "the imperial power is granted by heaven, orthodox and legal."

After writing the imperial edict, the emperor said smoothly: "Call the imperial master to see if it is appropriate."

The necks of the eunuchs and maids shortened even further.

The emperor slapped his head and said, yes, the emperor's master is Shi Yu.The emperor's decree is to marry Shi Yu's daughter Shi Jing to Yelang.

When Shi Yu found out about this letter, he was so angry that he sat up in the middle of the night and cursed for half an hour.

How dare you bring him over to discuss plans.

It’s very tiring after writing an imperial edict.

Shangguan Yun'er personally brought honey water to serve the emperor, and then helped the emperor lie down. The bracelet on his hand dangled in front of the emperor's eyes: "Your Majesty. Is Your Majesty dozing off?"

"Drowsy"

"Then your Majesty, have a good sleep."

After a while, seeing the emperor squinting his eyes, Shangguan Yun'er waved the gold bracelet in front of the emperor again. Seeing that the emperor squinted his eyes and didn't respond, she asked all the eunuchs and maids serving him to leave.

The makeup between her eyebrows was heavy and sparkling under the light.

At some point, a nighthawk circled in the sky above the Palace of Supreme Harmony. The sound of flapping its wings was soft and soft. Following the light, it quietly and familiarly landed on the long table of the Palace of Supreme Harmony.

At Nighthawk's feet, there was a small black bamboo tube with a note in it.

Using nighthawks to send messages is faster than the [-]-mile express, and the target is small, flexible, and difficult to be discovered. It is a very safe method.

Since entering the palace, Shangguan Yun'er has used this well-trained nighthawk to communicate with Yelang.

Now there is a reply from Yelang.

Shangguan Yun'er read the letter carefully, then took it to the candle and lit it.

"Take these cities one by one. There are so many cities in the Chen Kingdom. When will we get them? Since he has been poisoned by my poison, and I am the most talented witch in Yelang, won't it be easy to control him? Why don't I just do it directly? If we kill him, once the Emperor of Chen is dead, why worry that Chen is not ours." Shangguan Yun'er looked at the pile of ashes with disdain.

"If Emperor Chen died suddenly and suddenly, he might attract criticism from other countries. If he really takes over Chen and Yelang becomes stronger, who would dare to criticize him? After all, Lord Yelang is old. If the prince ascends the throne, he will never be so merciful. , it seems it’s time to tell the prince that Mr. Yelang shouldn’t live for long.”

The emperor fell into a deep sleep.

A gust of wind blew the gauze curtain, making it look like a human figure.

Nightjars come and go quietly.

Shangguan Yun'er came to the bed vigilantly, stared at the emperor carefully for a while, and sneered: "I won't let you die for the time being, but the pain of Gu will be inevitable every day. When will all the Chen Kingdoms return to Yelang? My prince has ascended the throne, and you, the emperor, are useless."

Shangguan Yun'er pressed her hand on the emperor's abdomen, and then, like luck, moved it along the abdomen to the emperor's chest and then to his shoulders.

The emperor's eyebrows suddenly wrinkled: "It hurts."

After a while, the emperor was so painful that he was sweating all over.

At the beginning, Shangguan Yun'er took advantage of the emperor's unpreparedness and fed a wasp into the emperor's stomach.

That wasp came from Yelang. She had kept it for more than three years and was extremely obedient.

This is not the first time that a wasp has been used as a poison.

A person who has been poisoned will suffer unbearable pain and will obey the arrangements like a puppet on strings.

Only after drinking honey water will the pain become lighter.

The person who boiled the honey water was Shangguan Yun'er's own maid. The maid was dressed in purple and raised the bowl above her head: "Sir Shangguan is a master of witchcraft. How can this Emperor Chen be your opponent?"

　Queen: What a sin, why did I come to deliver chicken soup?
