The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 465 The painting is poisonous (2)
Xiao Jue didn't hide anything, and said to the emperor: "My brother is well informed, because I met Master Li yesterday in a newly opened antique shop in the west district of the capital. My brother was a step late, and he bought the painting first. Presented to the emperor, in order to have a look at this painting, I specially invited several friends to poetry clubs."

They had been talking just now, and Qingchen couldn't get in, so he stood up and blessed him at this moment and said: "The concubine has seen His Royal Highness."

Xiao Jue had seen her a long time ago, but he didn't know how to speak because he was in the way of the emperor. He bowed slightly to support her with both hands, and said with a smile, "Your concubine Rong doesn't need to be too polite. The emperor said that I am a rare guest in the imperial study, but compared to Concubine Rong, I feel like I'm a regular."

Qingchen pursed her lips, and said softly: "The concubine didn't come because he was afraid of disturbing the emperor, and the prince didn't come because he was too busy with things, right?"

"What serious business can he have, isn't it just fun? Thinking back then, I was as unrestrained and carefree as him, and he followed me like a shadow wherever I went. Back then, life was easy and carefree. How can it be like now, when state affairs are heavy, I am so stressed all day long that I can't breathe, but he can still be so leisurely, which makes me envious."

Xiao Jun stretched out her hand to signal Qingchen to hand him the "Hold Forest and Heavy Ting", she hurriedly held the scroll and passed it across the table. For a drop of blood, Qingchen didn't want to disturb their enjoyment of painting, and it was only a small injury, so he secretly wrapped it up with a handkerchief.

Xiao Jue took the painting and said: "Brother Huang is the lord of all peoples, and he carries the world on his shoulders. Not everyone can take on this burden. The world is peaceful and the world is happy. Only with the blessing of Brother Huang can I be a king." Lazy and idle, although Brother Huang is tired, he must be relieved in his heart."

Xiao Jun turned around and picked up a piece of pastry, put it in her mouth and chewed slowly, "You are the only one who can talk."

Xiao Jue took the painting, looked at it a few times, and then praised: "It is worthy of being the 'No. [-] in the world' Dong's painting, and it is really incomparable to those fakes."

Xiao Jun said lightly: "Dong Yuan's ink and wash landscapes had a great influence at that time. Later generations called him "Dong Ju" together with Ju Ran. Together with Jing Hao, Ju Ran, and Guan Tong, they are also known as the "Four Great Landscape Painters of the Five Dynasties and the Northern Song Dynasty". It is not for nothing that they are so famous. How can anyone copy the charm of the painting?"

Xiao Jue also nodded and said: "Brother Huang said that most of the works copied by later generations are in vain. In Dong Yuan's landscape works, even if the first purpose is to express landscapes, he still can't help but want to draw the pictures of people. The picture of life, and the vitality revealed in it infects the silent mountains and rivers.

He likes to paint with mochi and ink rendering. When drawing the shape of the mountain, he first outlines the outline, and then uses the long mochi technique, and uses the center pen to brush from top to bottom. The lines are roughly parallel, but they overlap and meet from time to time. .The alum heads on the mountain are hollow and dotted, showing the state of luxuriant vegetation.On the basis of cracked dyeing, the painter applied a heavy crimson color to the mountains and rocks, and at the same time dyed the tops of the mountains into green.In this way, Li Sixun's proficiency in color design and Wang Wei's proficiency in ink painting are skillfully combined.Therefore, later generations called him the high praise of "the character of God is incomparable", and he is well deserved. "

Qingchen listened to the words of the two of them quietly, and saw that one of them had a dignified posture and a dignified appearance;Somewhat similar looks, both of them are of noble origin with the blood of the royal family, the same jade tree facing the wind, elegant and suave, no wonder the world gave the nickname "Second Young Master Lianbi", it is not difficult to imagine how the two of them will behave when they appear in the crowd Dazzling like a pearl, it makes many men feel ashamed.

Xiao Jun saw her staring at him in rapt attention, her eyes were all too familiar to her, full of admiration and admiration, he was in a good mood immediately, leaned over and asked with a gentle smile: "I am more attractive than the painting in Xiao Jue's hand." You? Looking at me like this, what do you think of?"

Qingchen's face became hot, and he was a little embarrassed. Just as he was about to speak, he felt that his throat was suddenly choked by life, and a sweet smell rushed up in an instant. With a mouthful of blood, a eye-catching flower of blood bloomed on the silver-white gold-threaded Beaulieu Dragon Robe.

The emperor was startled, and then he hugged her and ordered loudly: "Quick, hurry up and tell the imperial doctor!"

Xiao Jue was concentrating on looking at the painting, but was taken aback by the emperor's yell. When she raised her eyes, she saw her face turning blue, her lips purplish and pointing at the painting in her hand, as if she wanted to say something, but she opened her mouth, He vomited out another mouthful of black blood.

He threw away the things in his hand, hurried over to take a look, and saw that her right hand finger was swollen badly, and there was a black blood spot on the fingertip, which was obviously poisoned.

Xiao Jue saw that her eyes were starting to lose focus, and she was about to faint, so she didn't care about avoiding suspicion, so she directly bit her finger and helped her take drugs.

Qingchen's consciousness has begun to be a little fuzzy, but she can still see Xiao Jun's face that is getting more and more serious. She tries to withdraw her hand, but Xiao Jue holds her wrist tightly, not allowing her to have any any struggle.

When Gu Yunfeng stepped in hastily, Qingchen had already passed out, thanks to Xiao Jue sucking the poison out of her body in time, there was no serious problem anyway, and because of the timely rescue, Xiao Jue didn't have to worry about his life.

The emperor sent someone to send the prince back to rest first, and examined the painting carefully, only to find that there was a very inconspicuous protrusion on the edge of the scroll, the tiny protrusion was as sharp as a knife blade, It was at this place that Qingchen's hand was stabbed, and the poison took the opportunity to enter her body and nearly killed her when the blood sealed her throat.

Gu Yunfeng took the painting from the emperor's hand, checked it again carefully, and then replied: "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with the painting itself, except that the protruding part of the scroll was smeared with poison. It seems to be premeditated. Arrest Master Li and torture him?"

Sitting next to Qingchen, Xiao Jun saw that she was falling asleep, her lips were still a little purple, and she frowned and said, "Li Chongguang is not so stupid, it is likely that he was used by others, and he sent an order to investigate. Check the history of that antique shop."

Fu Quan hurriedly went out to deliver the decree, Liu An came in and said, "Your Majesty, Mrs. Mu is here and is waiting outside. The imperial chariot is ready, is the Emperor sending Concubine Rong back to the palace first?"

Xiao Jun glanced at the sleeping person on the dragon couch, seemingly hesitant, Gu Yunfeng hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Concubine Rong is fine, and it will take a few hours for the poison in her body to be completely detoxified." Time, the emperor need not worry."

"Let Mu Jingzhi wait for a while, I will send Concubine Rong back first."

Xiao Jun picked up Qingchen, came out and ran into Mu Jingzhi's E crown belt, waiting outside with her clothes in perfect order.

Seeing the emperor holding a woman on the dragon chariot, Mu Jingzhi asked the little eunuch who was on duty, "Which palace is that woman from?"

Xiao Kaizi replied: "If you go back to your lord, it is the concubine Rong who the emperor likes very much."

Mu Jingzhi looked at the direction where Long Nian was going away, narrowed his eyes slightly as if thinking about something, "So she is Concubine Rong."
