Concubine's true colors

Chapter 401 Yanqing Palace is in Danger

Because of the Lovesickness Gu incident last time, Xiao Jinxuan specially found books about Gu art explanations, and carefully studied and read them for a few days.

Therefore, she still has a clear understanding of the superficial characteristics and techniques of Gu Art and Gu Poison.

And one of the biggest characteristics of Gu worms is that those who fall into the voodoo are mostly unknowingly and silently.

Then, according to the different poisons, the bewitched person will show different reactions, and then die quietly.If it wasn't for the expert medical skills, the cause of death would not even be found out.

Concubine Liang is the highest-ranking concubine in the current harem, second only to Empress Xue.

Now that even Emperor Ming has been recruited, Xiao Jinxuan is really worried, because she has always had power over Empress Xue who has a strong desire for control.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, it is very possible to quietly get rid of Concubine Liang.

So pulling old man Ding up with one hand, Xiao Jinxuan dragged him and walked quickly in the direction of Yanqing Palace, and said anxiously:

"Old Ding, since Your Majesty has already fallen asleep, it doesn't matter if you leave for a while. Now follow me to a place and help me see if there are people there who have the same Gu skills."

If others treated Ding Yizhen like this, the old man would have been annoyed long ago.

But because they hit it off so well with Xiao Jinxuan, they even became old man Ding who planned to take the other party as his apprentice.It was very good-tempered to let the other party go, and directly dragged him to the gate of Yanqing Palace.

But just when Xiao Jinxuan was about to go in anxiously, the imperial guards guarding both sides suddenly pulled out their sabers and stopped her.

"Princess Zhaoyang, please go back. The concubine Liang has offended the queen because of her words and deeds. Now she has been confined in Yanqing Palace. The queen has issued a decree, unless she personally orders it. Otherwise, the people inside are not allowed to come out. , people from outside are absolutely not allowed to enter.”

In fact, before coming here, Xiao Jinxuan thought of Concubine Liang's side. I'm afraid the situation must be not optimistic.

Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan, who had anticipated the obstruction of the forbidden army, immediately raised the Golden Dragon Sword with a sneer.

"You should recognize that this is the imperial sword given by His Royal Highness Prince Rui. No matter how great the queen's will is, I have the imperial sword in my hand now. Could it be that you only want to respect the will of the phoenix and not offend the dragon? If so, In my opinion, the people who should be punished and imprisoned most should be you, the imperial guards who don't know how to live or die."

Seeing the group of more than a dozen imperial guards in front of him, with hesitation and difficulty flashing across his eyes, Xiao Jinxuan immediately continued to speak while the iron was hot:
"Since the Golden Dragon Sword is in my hands, it means that Prince Rui has returned to the capital. You were ordered to ground the other party's mother and concubine. Maybe you really can't help it. But now that I hold the imperial gift in my hand, you still don't allow it from this county. The Lord goes in. Let His Highness Prince Rui know about this, do you think he will spare your dog's life?"

Seeing the fear in the eyes of several forbidden soldiers, Xiao Jinxuan knew that the time was ripe.

Immediately, she raised the golden dragon sword, directly pulled out the saber that was blocking her way, and pushed it to both sides.

Then Xiao Jinxuan calmly led Ding Yizhen, passed over a dozen imperial guards, and walked directly into Yanqing Palace in a stately manner.

When he was far away from the gate of the courtyard, after he couldn't see the figures of the forbidden soldiers, old man Ding who walked behind immediately laughed and said:
"Girl Jinxuan, I really didn't expect to meet such a strange girl like you when I came to your Great Zhou capital for a while. The old man couldn't help but look at the dozen or so bright swords of the forbidden army just now. I was terrified. But you are so good, you actually walked in like this, and now I really can't accept you."

For Old Man Ding's cheerful yelling, Xiao Jinxuan, who was concerned about Concubine Liang and others, only dealt with the other party a few words, but walked quickly.

And when Xiao Jinxuan didn't see any maids and eunuchs all the way, she felt that something was wrong and came to the door of Concubine Liang's bedroom.

The little cobwebs and the low weeping in the hall made Xiao Jinxuan push the door of the bedroom open without caring about anything else.

And almost as soon as they walked in, Xiao Jinxuan saw Xiangping, Zhou Xianchen, and her younger brother Xiao Wenyao, and they all looked towards the gate of the palace nervously.

It seems that he did not expect that the person who opened the door and came in would be Xiao Jinxuan.

Therefore, after a few people were stunned for a moment, Xiangping was the first to run over crying.

"Jinxuan, why are you here, but this is great. Come and see my concubine mother, she may really be dying. I want to find an imperial doctor for concubine mother, but the imperial guards outside don't allow it at all." I'm going out, Jinxuan, you must find a way to save my concubine mother."

Xiao Jinxuan, who had already walked to Concubine Liang's bed, first signaled Xiangping to calm down, and then she hurriedly said to old man Ding:

"It seems that my premonition is right. It is indeed a wise move to bring you here. Jinxuan will not say anything unnecessary. I also ask Mr. Ding to take human life as the most important thing, and get a diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible."

Although old man Ding was a little out of tune at ordinary times, but when it was about human life, he immediately became a lot more serious, and immediately began to diagnose and treat Concubine Liang.

Taking advantage of this moment, Xiao Jinxuan immediately walked to Xiao Wenyao's side first, and then said worriedly:
"I originally asked you to stay by Xianchen's side from time to time. That's because some time ago, my sister really didn't care about you, and she was afraid that someone in the commander's mansion would make things difficult for you. But now there is a change in the palace, and Brother Yao is still trapped in it. My sister is not good, let Yao brother scare you."

Hearing this, Xiao Wenyao, who is now 11 years old, immediately straightened up and said fearlessly:

"Sister, don't blame yourself. In fact, Wen Yao is very glad that I stayed this time, otherwise I wouldn't be able to protect Xianchen personally. Besides, sister these days, those guards are so fierce, and they deduct our food. Anyway, brother After this incident, I have decided to abandon literature and pursue martial arts in the future. As long as I am good at martial arts, let's see who dares to bully Xianchen, and Wen Yao can also protect my sister."

Because Xiao Wenyao is the same age as Zhou Xianchen, they have always played well, and their relationship is extremely good.

Although Xiao Wenyao was nominally the schoolboy accompanying the Ninth Prince, Zhou Xianchen, they always referred to each other by first name and got along like brothers.

And after hearing about Xiao Wenyao's ambitions, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help shaking her head and smiling, sighing secretly that her younger brother was indeed the real queen of the handsome mansion.

This attitude of advocating force and respecting force does have the demeanor of a general.

Gently patted Xiao Wenyao's shoulder as a sign of encouragement, Xiao Jinxuan saw that her younger brother was fine, and immediately looked at Zhou Xianchen again.

And almost as soon as his eyes met hers, Zhou Xianchen's mouth shrugged, and he immediately threw himself into Xiao Jinxuan's arms.

Then the body trembled slightly, and the voice was very scared and said:

"Sister Jinxuan, it's great that you're here. Chen'er is so scared, and I'm also worried about my concubine mother. Sister, please don't leave, Chen'er will feel at ease when you are here."

Seeing Zhou Xianchen crying, Xiao Wenyao, who was the same age as him, immediately curled his lips and showed an extremely contemptuous look.

Then I saw Xiao Wenyao reached out to grab Zhou Xianchen unceremoniously, and pulled Zhou Xianchen to his side, and then he taught Zhou Xianchen a lesson.

"I said Xianchen, we are two men, how can you let a woman like my sister protect you? Isn't it just grounded, you are a prince and they dare not do anything to you, so don't cry, It's too embarrassing to look at."

When Xiao Wenyao said this, Zhou Xianchen blushed immediately with embarrassment.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help taking out the brocade handkerchief, and wiped away all the tears for Zhou Xianchen whose face was flushed with shame.

"Xianchen, you have to remember that what Wen Yao said is right. You are a manly man, and you must learn to protect your concubine and sister. But since sister Jinxuan is here, she will definitely take you out. Go and have a quiet time with Wen Yao first." Just wait by the side, and leave the rest of the matter to my sister, okay?"

Looking at Xiao Jinxuan who was smiling at him gently, Zhou Xianchen even had a moment of effort, and was a little crazy.

At his age, he still doesn't have any feelings for men and women.

However, it was Xiao Jinxuan's calm demeanor that unconsciously made Zhou Xianchen feel yearning and admiration in his young heart.

And when Xiao Jinxuan returned to the bed for the first time, old man Ding had almost finished his diagnosis and treatment, and immediately said to her with a chuckle:

"It seems that the little beetle that was just given to you, girl Jinxuan has to take it out and use it for this empress first. What she is poisoned is also a kind of Gu poison, but the time is short, so it is easy to heal."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan quickly handed the silver beads to old man Ding.But after the other party took the things, he immediately said:
"I came here in a hurry, and I didn't bring the medicine box. If I want to be cured, I need to cut both of this lady's wrists. Hurry up and find a knife."

Although it is very dangerous to cut the wrist, Xiao Jinxuan, who still trusts old man Ding's medical skills, immediately removed the worry-free hairpin from her head.

Then Xiao Jinxuan's expression remained unchanged, and with Xiangping's two exclamations, she slashed Concubine Liang's wrist cleanly.

Xiao Jinxuan's decisiveness and ruthlessness, even ordinary men may not be able to do it.Therefore, old man Ding couldn't help but stare blankly, and swallowed with a chill on his back.

After Xiao Jinxuan urged her, some old man Ding who was frightened by the other party hurriedly began to expel the poison from Concubine Liang's body.

After two streams of black blood, mixed with a few blood-red flesh worms, writhed out from Concubine Liang's scratched wrist in a panic.

Old man Ding immediately took out a few silver needles from nowhere, and quickly pierced these bugs with the needles and fixed them on the bed.

And after Xiao Jinxuan put away the silver beads again, Concubine Liang suddenly woke up slowly.

After Concubine Liang slowed down for a while, the other party looked at Xiao Jinxuan with strength, and then said anxiously and weakly
"Jinxuan, quickly take Xiangping, Xianchen, and your younger brother out of the palace. Once Queen Xue kills me, she will never let them go. Don't waste any more time on me. I am His Majesty's good concubine. Even if I die, I will stay with the emperor in the palace to advance and retreat. You guys hurry up, as long as you are safe and sound, I will die with peace in my eyes."
