After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Chapter 466: Phoenix Girl Returns
When Meng Qianqian was treating His Majesty's headache, Gongsun Liuying hoped more than once that she would fail in her mission. But when her mission was interrupted, Gongsun Liuying wished she had finished acupuncture for His Majesty.

Under the cover of her wide sleeves, her right hand began to tremble slightly.

In the past, she would never be so nervous, but now, now——

What’s more, the other party is none other than His Majesty the King of Liang.

"No!"

Concubine Hu tried to stop her.

Concubine Jiang Hui said sarcastically, "Why not? An unknown disciple of Qianji Pavilion can give acupuncture to Your Majesty. She is the eldest daughter of Qianji Pavilion and the successor of the Thirteen Ghost Needles. Is she not as good as my junior sister? Besides, the first forty-eight needles have been given, and there is only the last needle left. It should not be difficult for Miss Gongsun, who has unparalleled medical skills, right?"

It was precisely because there was only one needle left that Concubine Hu did not dare to let Gongsun Liuying take the risk.

The fact that all the injections before worked fine shows that the girl’s medical skills are very strong. If something really happens, the blame cannot be put on the girl.

Lu Zhaoyan said: "Mother Hui, I think the Imperial Concubine is also thinking about the Emperor's father, after all..."

When he said this, he looked at Nie'er outside the palace with a complicated expression, "I made a mistake just now, and I am still a little scared now."

Concubine Jiang Hui sneered and said, "It was just a small mistake, but Your Majesty is willing to give Miss Gongsun a chance. But the Imperial Concubine doesn't trust Miss Gongsun's medical skills? Or did the Imperial Concubine know that her daughter-in-law is just a name for nothing?"

Concubine Hu was furious and slapped the table: "Jiang Wanqing!"

The two concubines were at loggerheads with each other, the princes looked at each other, and the palace servants dared not even breathe.

The queen said sternly, "You two should stop arguing. At least behave like elders in front of the child."

The princes are no longer considered children, but they have grandsons Lu Yuan and Lu Qi.

Two little ones playing in the mud were also at the door.

Concubine Jiang Hui picked up the teacup and said slowly, "I don't want to argue with her, Miss Gongsun, didn't you hear the emperor's order?"

Imperial Concubine Hu gritted her teeth and said, "Concubine Hui! Do you want to kill His Majesty? You knew that Liuying was being blamed and was suffering, but you still asked her to give His Majesty acupuncture. Isn't this harming His Majesty?"

Concubine Jiang Hui said sarcastically: "You can lose your composure over a small mistake. How can you call yourself the daughter of destiny?"

Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "The girl of destiny is to bring luck to Daliang. She will never harm the Lord of Daliang, unless she is fake."

Concubine Jiang Hui glanced at Lu Yuan and thought to herself that you are not real either.

Be it Qilin or Phoenix Girl, she doesn't believe in it.

However, she and Concubine Hu had a feud, so she would rather the Prince's Mansion win than let the Prince of Jin and his son succeed.

"Yuan'er is right. Phoenix girl is your majesty's lucky star. She can't hurt your majesty even with her eyes closed."

Anyway, Your Majesty has not deposed the Crown Prince. If he is stabbed to death and the Crown Prince ascends the throne, the Prince of Jin's Mansion will be left in despair.

Meng Qianqian walked out of the screen, handed the tray of silver needles to Gongsun Liuying, and said softly: "Senior sister, the silver needles are ready for you, hurry up and give the acupuncture to His Majesty, otherwise it will affect the efficacy."

Everyone's eyes fell on Gongsun Liuying.

Gongsun Liuying pinched her fingers, and a thin layer of sweat oozed out of her back.

Her heart was pounding as if something bad was about to happen.

If it were a few days ago, she would have had no such worries, but the medical skills that failed from time to time made her feel unprecedented panic.

She raised her eyes and looked into Meng Qianqian's calm eyes.

Somehow, that uneasy feeling got even stronger.

"Who are you anyway?"

She asked with cold eyes and a low voice.

Meng Qianqian smiled slightly and replied softly: "I am your junior sister, Senior Sister."

Gongsun Liuying glanced towards Madam Yan who was not far away.

Madam Yan frowned, and her eyes clearly showed nervousness and anxiety.

"Sister?"

Meng Qianqian moved the tray a few inches towards her.

Gongsun Liuying clenched her fists.

There are only two choices before us.

Or, admit that her medical skills are not as good as Yan Xiaojiu's, but for a proud person like her, being inferior to others is more painful than killing her with a knife.

Or, confess that there is something wrong with your hand and you cannot use the Thirteen Ghost Needles.

But in this case, Concubine Hui would definitely ask, if your hands are shaking, why do you want to take the risk of taking my nephew's life? Doesn't my nephew's life matter?
It's unfair to say, because her hand shaking mostly happened at night, and she rarely made mistakes during the day.

Plus, it's an extremely simple acupuncture point. Who would have thought that -

She suddenly felt a little regretful that she didn't bring Zi Yu into the palace.

Wuyou is a man after all, and he has to wait to be summoned by the Queen before he can enter the harem, and all this should have happened after Lu Yuan's identity was confirmed.

Right now, Wuyou was still sitting in her father's Imperial Master's Hall, and there was no one who could convey the message for her, asking her father to come and rescue her.

and many more.

Perhaps the Imperial Concubine and the Queen have a way to contact my father.

Her eyes swept over the Queen and Concubine Hu.

The queen lowered her eyes and drank her tea.

Concubine Hu wanted to help her, but this was Concubine Jiang Hui's bedroom.

Concubine Jiang Hui blocked the door and no one could get help.

Lu Yuan said dissatisfiedly: "Miss Gongsun, my grandfather has forty-eight needles stuck in his body. How long do you want my grandfather to be stabbed?"

Concubine Jiang Hui said nonchalantly, "It's no big deal if someone is stabbed to death. You'll just be buried with the Qianji Pavilion. You're a phoenix girl, not a disaster star. You're not so unlucky that your whole family will be killed, right?"

Lu Yuan turned to look at Lu Zhaoyan: "She won."

He still didn't dare to curse Emperor Liang to death.

Gongsun Liuying stretched out her hand and slowly picked up the silver needle.

Lu Yuan said to Meng Qianqian, "Miss Yan, you must protect your sister well. Don't let her fall, bump, or get hurt. Don't let her hurt her hands and be unable to give acupuncture."

Meng Qianqian said: "Master Linyuan reminded me that I will protect Senior Sister's hands."

Gongsun Liuying's last retreat was also blocked.

She walked around the screen and stood in front of Emperor Liang.

Eunuch Yu held his breath.

Emperor Liang looked at her deeply, without a trace of fear in his eyes.

Gongsun Liuying forced herself to calm down and stretched out her hand as usual.

But just as she was about to insert the needle, her mind suddenly went blank.

Where to tie it...

Beads of sweat the size of beans trickled down his forehead.

Outside the screen, everyone was waiting anxiously, except Concubine Jiang Hui and Lu Zhaoyan and his son.

Concubine Jiang Hui didn't mind Emperor Liang being stabbed to death, but Lu Zhaoyan and Lu Yuan believed that in a critical moment, Meng Qianqian could turn the tide.

Lu Yuan urged: "Why don't you give me the needles? Miss Gongsun, are you capable of doing this? If not, let your junior sister do it! She gave me forty-eight needles, but I didn't think I was as fussy as you are when giving me one needle!"

"Qi Hai acupoint."

Meng Qianqian said.

"I know, you don't need to remind me."

Gongsun Liuying replied coldly.

She pinched the silver needle with her fingertips and aimed it at Emperor Liang's Qi Hai acupoint under his sharp eagle-like gaze.

"Ouch--"

Eunuch Yu let out a scream.

Everyone stood up quickly.

The Queen was shocked: "Your Majesty!"

The palace maid hurriedly helped her around the screen.

Concubine Hu and Concubine Jiang Hui also came forward one after another.

Prince of Jin, Lu Qi, Prince of Qi, Prince of Rui, and Prince of Fu could no longer sit still, and they took two steps at a time and came behind the screen.

Emperor Liang was fine, but Eunuch Yu was stabbed.

Eunuch Yu smiled awkwardly: "My legs were weak for a moment and I couldn't stand steadily."

How come he didn't stand firmly?

He doesn't dare to gamble with Your Majesty's life!

Gongsun Liuying's fingertip was also pierced, and a bright red blood bead oozed out: "Your Majesty, it was Liuying's fault. Please punish me."

Eunuch Yu hurriedly said, "It's all my fault!" Concubine Hu stared at Gongsun Liuying's fingers and said, "Oh, Liuying's hand is injured. I can't give you acupuncture, can I?"

Gongsun Liuying said calmly: "It's okay, I will continue to give acupuncture to Your Majesty."

Elder Yan, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke: "Xiao Jiu, you give His Majesty acupuncture."

Meng Qianqian looked straight at Gongsun Liuying: "Yes, Master."

Gongsun Liuying held her injured finger and looked away arrogantly.

Concubine Hu and Prince Jin breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved.

Concubine Jiang Huifei looked disappointed.

The cooked duck has flown away. I don’t know if there will be another chance to make Concubine Hu and Qianji Pavilion pay the price next time.

Lu Zhaoyan patted his son's shoulder.

Although he was also quite regretful, Gongsun Liuying had clearly revealed so many flaws, and it would have only taken a little more to make her lose face, but unfortunately, there were some unexpected things.

But today’s harvest is actually not small.

At least his father gave Yuan'er the status of the eldest grandson of the emperor, and from now on, no one would be allowed to question him.

It is no longer possible for Qianji Pavilion to slander him as Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan didn't say anything.

After Meng Qianqian finished giving acupuncture to Emperor Liang, she returned to Elder Yan.

When passing by Gongsun Liuying, Gongsun Liuying said in a low voice: "Junior sister, I don't care who you are or what you are planning. I advise you not to overestimate your own abilities."

Meng Qianqian said calmly: "Really? Senior Sister, do you really think you have escaped danger?"

Gongsun Liuying frowned: "What do you mean?"

Meng Qianqian curled the corners of her lips.

Gongsun Liuying was about to ask a few more questions when she heard hurried footsteps outside the palace, followed by a young eunuch's extremely excited announcement: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! The witch lady from Wushan has come, saying she is an envoy from Wushan! She has a gift for your majesty!"

"The Wushan messenger?"

Emperor Liang's eyes moved, "Please go quickly..."

Just as he was about to invite the person to the imperial study, he felt a black screen in front of his eyes and fell back into the rattan chair.

Concubine Hu hurriedly supported him: "Your Majesty!"

Meng Qianqian said: "Your Majesty, I just finished the acupuncture. Please rest for a while."

Although Emperor Liang was not on good terms with Miaojiang, Wushan not only had an outstanding status in Miaojiang, but was also like a god even in the southwest.

Emperor Liang did not want to neglect the envoy, so he asked Eunuch Yu to personally invite the envoy to Concubine Hui's bedroom.

The two messengers were both priestesses from a temple in Zamuduo.

Zamuduo bowed to Emperor Liang and Empress Liang: "Greetings to His Majesty, and to Empress Liang."

Emperor Liang raised his hand and said, "Stand up!"

Zamuduo didn't look away, and didn't make any eye contact with Lu Yuan and Meng Qianqian. She just said to Emperor Liang: "We are here on the orders of the goddess to congratulate the prince of the Crown Prince's Mansion and Miss Qianji Pavilion on their wedding."

Lu Qi cleared his throat.

King Jin said in a gentle voice: "To be honest with you, this divine messenger, there is something wrong with Qi'er's life experience. He is actually my son."

Zamuduo asked: "You are——"

Prince Jin bowed and said, "Prince Jin, Lu Zhaohua."

Zamuduo returned a Miao gift: "I see. When we set out, we didn't know about this. We were delayed for a few days on the road and worried that we would miss the wedding. By the way, the wedding date--"

King Jin said: "It has been postponed."

Zamuduo's expression relaxed when he heard this: "That's good, then our mission won't be ruined."

After she finished speaking, she took a long box from another witch and said to Emperor Liang, "Your Majesty, when the goddess learned that your grandson was getting married, she took out the Qingluan Sword from the temple. This sword is also known as the Phoenix Sword, and it is the treasure of the Wushan Temple. The goddess asked me to hand it over to the Phoenix in person."

"The goddess has a heart."

Emperor Liang nodded and said to Gongsun Liuying, "Liuying, go ahead."

Gongsun Liuying had just caused such a huge misunderstanding that she needed to save face. The Phoenix Girl Sword sent by Wushan was simply a timely relief.

She is indeed a Phoenix Girl, carrying the destiny of heaven.

She walked up to Zamuduo.

"please."

Zamuduo said.

Gongsun Liuying opened the box, and a long sword shining with cold light and exuding a heavy and ancient atmosphere came into view.

"What a fine sword."

There was deep amazement in her eyes.

Zamuduo said: "Please draw your sword, Phoenix girl, and acknowledge your master with a drop of blood."

Gongsun Liuying took out the Qingluan Sword. What a heavy sword!
She grasped the cold hilt of the sword and reached out to pull it out.

Something unexpected happened.

The hilt of the sword didn't move at all.

Everyone was stunned.

what's the situation?
Gongsun Liuying also frowned.

She had never used such a heavy sword before, so it must be that the force she used just now was too weak.

She pulled it out again.

This time I brought some internal strength.

However, the Qingluan Sword remained motionless.

She opened her mouth and said, "This sword..."

Zamuduo: "Please draw your sword, Phoenix girl."

Gongsun Liuying also wants to.

But no matter how many times she tried, she couldn't unsheathe the Qingluan Sword.

The King of Qi asked, "Is it broken?"

Prince Jin winked at a eunuch.

The eunuch was strong and muscular, and it was obvious at first glance that he was an expert in the palace.

He stepped forward and said to Gongsun Liuying, "Miss Gongsun, may I have a look?"

"Ah."

Gongsun Liuying handed him the Qingluan Sword.

The master of the Imperial Palace tried it and shook his head.

“Is it welded shut?”

The King of Qi muttered.

Emperor Liang frowned.

"The third child, the fourth child."

The King of Jin winked at the King of Qi and the King of Rui.

The two of them understood and went forward to try it.

The King of Qi said confidently: "It's fake! It's welded shut!"

King Jin looked at Zamuduo and said, "My Lady Witch, what is the purpose of Wushan sending us a sword that cannot be pulled out?"

Zamuduo said solemnly: "The goddess observed the stars at night and saw that the Tianfu star was moving. The catastrophe of Gou Chen can only be resolved by Qingluan. Please ask Phoenix to draw out this sword."

"How about you give it a try?"

Lu Zhaoyan said to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan's eyes gleamed: "You really don't want to be a father anymore, right?"

Lu Zhaoyan: It doesn’t matter whether I’m a father or not, what I mainly want is to be a husband to Xiaobai.

Meng Qianqian asked: "Can you let me try?"

Concubine Hu laughed sarcastically: "Little girl, you are just lucky enough to know a little bit of medical skills. Do you really think you can compete with Liuying for anything? Liuying is a phoenix girl, and she can't even pull out this sword. You are a lowly commoner, you are simply asking for trouble. You don't know your own limitations--"

Zheng!
Meng Qianqian drew out the Qingluan Sword.

A phoenix cry that seemed to come from ancient times rang in everyone's ears, like a phoenix that had broken free from its seal and finally flapped its wings and flew into the sky.
