Xiao Chong: The Abandoned Concubine Shocks the World

Chapter 98 Portrait
"Ma'am, don't you like it? The prince agreed to come down, but it was actually because of you."

In the afternoon of this day, Aunt Shi personally made a medicinal meal for Yao Tong, seeing that she was not happy about the statue, she couldn't help but speak.

"Auntie, I understand."

He Zhenghan is not a person who likes to make great achievements. The reason why he accepted is to build a reputation for him.After all, on the wedding day, the bride was used as bait to kill the groom. Even though she and Zheng Wang Yao Dun had no father-daughter relationship, in the eyes of outsiders, she was still the daughter of the Yao family.

"Auntie, I heard that the south has passed on me as a beauty."

Aunt Shi shook her head, "Madam don't care about the words of foolish men and women."

"A beauty is a disaster." Yao Tong sighed, "Why am I angry, at least it's because I'm complimenting my good looks."

She is not a sharp-edged person, she is open-minded, Aunt Shi was relieved and handed over the porridge on the tray.

"Ma'am, I had no choice but to use that medicine back then. Now I want to make up for it, but the medicine is too strong, and I can't even take ginseng, donkey-hide gelatin and other tonics. I can only use ordinary grains, mixed according to the five elements, yin and yang, to nourish the body with food, Make it up slowly."

There is a lot of coarse grains in this porridge, it doesn't taste very good, Yao Tong is not picky, "Let my aunt worry about it."

After she finished eating the porridge, Aunt Shi saw a pimple on her temple, "Ma'am, do you feel sore in your lower abdomen?"

"Auntie, how do you know?"

Aunt Shi sighed, "Ma'am, if I remember correctly, the last time you had Guishui was two and a half months ago."

Yao Tong blinked, "Indeed, in the past two days, my lower abdomen is sore and my breasts are swollen and painful. It seems that Guishui is coming this time."

"Ma'am, your health was bad in the past, and you managed to get it back. This time, you took this strong medicine again, and your body will suffer again. You must take good care of it during this period of time."

"Auntie, I'll listen to you." Yao Tong responded with a smile.

Sure enough, the next afternoon, Guishui came.

Rao was prepared, Yao Tong still couldn't bear the pain accompanied by Guishui, and lay down on the bed.

"Don't let the prince know."

Yao Tong endured the cramping pain in his lower abdomen, and packed the things for He Zhenghan to go out.

This plague not only caused great losses to Liangzhou, but also ravaged the grassland to death. Now that Liangzhou has successfully eliminated the epidemic, it is still raging over the grassland.

The five major tribes of the Di people suffered heavy losses, and their herds and population died in batches, not to mention those weak tribes attached to Tuli Khan.

In desperation, they suddenly saw envoys from He Zhenghan, the overlord of the Northern Lands. These envoys came with doctors and medicinal materials, which gave them the hope of life.

One by one, for the sake of the tribe and survival, they abandoned Tuli Khan and turned to Jingbei County King as the main one.

In order to appease these newly defected tribes, He Zhenghan must personally accept the worship of these people.

The epidemic situation on the grassland was not cleared, so these people were definitely not allowed to come to Liangzhou City, and these people did not dare to come because the two places had been fighting all year round.

He Zhenghan chose the Surrendered City on the edge of the grassland to meet these tribes who offered their troops and loyalty.

Surrendered City - the most powerful city in the previous dynasty, which was built when it ruled the entire Western Region.After years of decline, it will finally usher in a new master, a new overlord.

"Grandpa is gone."

At night, after He Zhenghan finished his work, before he left, he came to the inner room. Under the candlelight, Yao Tong's face was bright, and he hugged her fiercely, wishing to embed her in his bones, before he turned and left.

As soon as he left, Yao Tong collapsed on the bed as if exhausted, rested for a while, and then removed the makeup on his face.

After lying in bed for two full days, the pain eased a bit.

"What happened these two days?"

Yao Tong was unwell, and Aunt Shi ordered her not to work hard, no matter what happened.As if following an imperial edict, Jinxia stopped all personnel outside.

It's just that she still has to make up her mind about one thing.

"Jinxia, ​​tell me."

Thinking about this matter is not a waste of mind, Jinxia said: "Madam, these days, the painters have presented many portraits, and the slaves dare not make up their minds."

Soon, two little maids came over with two stacks of tall scrolls.

I unfolded and looked at a few pictures, and they were very similar to her, "When did they draw it?"

Jinxia smiled, "In order to fight the epidemic earlier, madam, you followed the epidemic prevention team almost all over Liangzhou City. These painters have all seen madam, so they can paint madam's charm and appearance."

Yao Tong also smiled, "I see."

Unfolding one by one in her hand, she was not satisfied. She was a little heavy on appearance, full of beauty, but Yao Tong didn't like this kind of thing, she felt it was not dignified.Some focus on the charm, but because of the lack of writing power, they appear astringent.

"Will not work."

Jinxia asked someone to take the painting scroll out, met Tianquan who came to wait for a reply, and said distressedly: "None of these works, is there any more?"

Tian Quan thought for a while and said, "These were all submitted by the painters in Liangzhou City. Since they are not good enough, then let people let the wind out and agree to individual literati's contributions. I think we can find satisfactory ones."

Sure enough, within a day after the news spread, the place dedicated to collecting paintings was full.

Yao Tong picked out one by one without saying a word, but Jinxia knew that she didn't like any of them.

After finishing the last picture, Yao Tong rubbed his forehead tiredly.

"Ma'am, there is another picture."

Jinxia hurried in, just got the little girl's report, she hurried out, it turned out that there was a brocade box in the yard, it seemed that someone threw it over the high courtyard wall.

When I opened it, I found a scroll inside, and when I opened it, all the maids were stunned.

Even if they don't know calligraphy and painting, when they saw this painting, their hearts seemed to be seized by a strong force.

"Sister Jinxia, ​​I want to cry." A little girl's eyes were already red.

"I want to kowtow."

This painting is compassionate, dignified and noble, making people want to get close and depend on, but dare not profane at all.

When the scroll slowly unfolded and the woman in the painting appeared in front of her eyes, Yao Tong couldn't help standing up.

In fact, the appearance of the woman in the painting is not [-]% similar to that of Yao Tong. The woman in the painting is not even as beautiful as Yao Tong. A little more graceful and strict.

However, Jinxia and other people who have seen this painting immediately thought of Yao Tong.

The charm and look are too similar.

The beauty of this painting is that the appearance is similar and not, and the spirit is exactly the same.

Yao Tong's eyes were fixed on the painting. This painting was drawn into her heart, but there was no title or seal on the painting, and the painter did not leave any information.

"Jinxia, ​​this is the one."

Jinxia was not surprised by this answer at all, but she was slightly worried when she thought of the unimaginable nature of this painting.

But time was running out, and besides, this painting was amazing, compared with it, others would not even look at it.

"Yes, servant girl, let someone arrange it."

Thinking that Madam was feeling unwell, Jinxia concealed the origin of the painting. She thought that it might be a reclusive expert who didn't want others to know, so she sent it in this way.

The craftsmen were extremely efficient, and within a few days, the golden body of the Fairy in the Hall of the Medicine King Bodhisattva was completed.

Because the lord of Liangzhou, King He Zhenghan of Jingbei County, has not yet returned to the city, even though the people in the city are looking forward to it, the gate of this newly built temple is still closed.

On this day, the sun was shining brightly. Dozens of ginkgo trees transplanted in the temple were lush and lush, and the leaves were sprinkled with gold-like spots.

Since the golden body was sculpted, even the craftsmen and monks were not allowed to order the Medicine King Bodhisattva Hall, but there stood a handsome young man.

Wearing a white jade crown, wearing a frosty white brocade robe, and a jade belt around the waist, the patterns outlined with silver threads are shining brightly in the sun, and they are noble and extraordinary, outstanding.

He stood in the bright place, and the sunlight dyed his fair and handsome face a thin red. Without realizing it, he walked up to the fairy aunt's statue, his sparkling peach blossom eyes seemed to be half-open, and he stared at him bewilderedly, misty and affectionate.

Ordinarily, he shouldn't look crazy, after all, this statue is shaped according to his painting, that painting, he made it in one go, because the person in the painting is almost engraved in his heart.

She still used her own painting after all, was it because she was not as indifferent to herself as she appeared to be.

"Master Jiu, someone is here."

The guards who were watching outside reminded in a low voice.

The man in brocade frowned slightly, took a deep look at the statue, called out his name in a low voice, turned around and walked out of the Hall of Medicine King, turned around a few densely branched ginkgo trees, and disappeared into the corner gate.

The days passed by like flowing water, Yao Tong was counting the days when He Zhenghan would return in addition to maintaining his health.

Until this day, a piece of news broke the calm.

"The city of Bianzhou was breached by refugees. Zheng Wang and his wife fled in a hurry with their two sons, but on the way they met a refugee general, Zheng Wang's second concubine Huang Shi. In order to protect her two sons, she committed herself to the refugee general in front of Zheng Wang. .”

"Before Mrs. Huang died, she viciously cursed Mrs."

Yao Tong listened to the report, her face was expressionless. She and Huang had a grudge against her mother, but she never thought of humiliating Huang in this way, "How does Huang curse?"

"Bianzhou was suddenly besieged by refugees, and the situation was strange. Zheng Wang and his wife slandered that the prince deliberately let so many refugees besiege the city to avenge his wife. The Huang family's words are vicious, and her heart is evil. If God is really clever, her words should also be true. body."

The visitor was dripping with cold sweat, and he never dared to learn what Huang said exactly.

"How about King Zheng? How about the second son?"

"They're all dead." But they didn't dare to say how they died. Being tortured and killed by refugees was extremely tragic.

In Jizhou Jiedushifu.

As soon as Yao Tan heard the news, he spat out a mouthful of blood and passed out.

The close servant girl pinched her with all her might, and finally woke her up from the severe pain.

"I had a nightmare just now."

Before the words were finished, the confidant maids were already crying.

"So it wasn't a dream." Yao Tan bit his lips to bleed blood, looking like a female ghost, "Mother, father, Dong'er, and Song'er are all gone. My relatives are gone."

"I want to avenge them, to avenge them."

"Yao Tong, wait, I want your life to be worse than death." She cried madly, like a ghost haunting her soul.
