Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master

Chapter 154 Zhou Shizi and Shizi Concubine Are Outside the Palace

Yin Liehuo's words were too harsh, and turned the woman's face into ashes and haggard. She trembled in despair, "Fifth Emperor...Your Highness..."

Seeing that she was already stupid, Yin Liehuo murmured coldly: "You only have these two choices. I have a lot of time and I will wait for you to make a decision. Besides..." He held four gold needles between his fingers again, "If you choose the former , don't think that I will let you die happily..."

Everyone was chilled, and now they all lowered their heads, not daring to breathe.

And that woman, knowing that everything was over for her, took out a small bottle from the skirt of her shirt tremblingly with a pale face, and poured out a pill in her hand. Because of the violent trembling, the pill rolled on the ground several times, and she picked it up tremblingly. He got up and stuffed it into his mouth.

A mouthful of black blood escaped from the corner of her lips, and the woman's eyes froze, dead.

In the deadly silence of the bedroom, Yin Liehuo's cold broken voice was creepy: "So the poison was prepared... After all, I was greedy for life and afraid of death, and I was unwilling to swallow it right away. Before he died, he betrayed his master..."

Talking contemptuously, Yin Liehuo took out a black ceramic bottle from his pocket, poured the liquid inside gently on the woman, and any parts touched by the potion instantly turned into pus and evaporated.

This made everyone almost cry out in horror, covering their eyes and not daring to look at the person who was being melted away.Until the man disappeared completely, everyone kept their heads down and remained silent.

"Everyone... what's going on here..." The cold, yet soft, broken voice was full of echoes, piercing everyone's heart like an ice pick.

Everyone sobbed in horror and knelt on the ground.

Yin Liehuo smiled coldly.What she wants is this kind of effect, so that everyone around her can see clearly that even if she is a newcomer, she will never be easily bullied.Today's round is just the first step she has taken. Right now, she will thoroughly investigate the origins of these people one by one.

"Get up, I'll scare you all." Yin Liehuo called out, "Guan Shilang."

"Your Highness, please order." Guan Shilang showed no fear on his face.

Yin Liehuo murmured: "I believe that everyone present has a clear conscience, Guan Shilang, you go and give each of you two coins and silver taels... Everyone, as long as you can do your duty in the future, I will naturally be more respectful than other masters." Treat you favorably."

Everyone kowtowed to express their gratitude as if they were being amnesty, and went out one by one.After receiving the order, Guan Shilang immediately went to prepare silver taels for these people.

Suddenly, in the quiet bedroom, all the coldness on Yin Liehuo's face gradually dissipated, turning into a feeble grayness like a stump, as if all the vitality of life had been lost.

She lay tiredly on the table, lamenting faintly, thinking of the warm days with her adoptive father and adoptive mother, but now she is alone and struggling in this dangerous foreign land...

Suddenly, a familiar figure seemed to sway outside the window, it seemed to be a ray of dark brown, because it was too similar to that person, Yin Liehuo raised his head in surprise and looked out the window.

At this glance, she was shocked and almost thought it was a dream.And that person appeared in her dream, standing outside the window, as gentle and elegant as the moonlight that filled the sky.

This is a dream, it's a dream... Yin Liehuo's heart kept gushing out this thought.She didn't believe that he would really come to Heluo, this was just a dream born of her loneliness and helplessness.

But even if it was just a dream, that person was so real, the epiphyllum on the crane cloak blossomed into soft snow under the moonlight.The picturesque eyebrows looked up gently, passing through thousands of feet of soft red, rippling warm ripples in Yin Liehuo's heart, in a trance, it seemed that time was stranded.

It wasn't until someone opened another window and landed briskly beside Yin Liehuo that she woke up from this dream, but it was as if she had fallen into another dream.

"You are..." Yin Liehuo stared blankly at the woman in red who appeared in front of her. The gorgeous red dress looked like a phoenix flower, just like the person in her memory.And the woman's face is so beautiful, she has never seen this face before, it is on the execution ground...

"Ganghuo, it's me, I'm Jiuge." Baili Jiuge smiled first, his eyes were bright, as if infinite light dispelled the darkness of the night.

Yin Liehuo was stunned, and murmured in disbelief: "Jiu Ge...is it really you?"

"It's me." Baili Jiuge laughed loudly, walked up, took Yin Liehuo's hands, the familiar bright temperature made Yin Liehuo froze in astonishment.

"Jiuge..." The next moment, Yin Liehuo's eyes were filled with tears, and tears burst out of his eyes.

Baili Jiuge was startled, "Why are you crying, Liehuo? Did the people from Heluo bully you?" As he spoke, his left and right hands started working at the same time, wiping Yin Liehuo's tears, and because he was anxious, he wiped Yin Liehuo's face It looks like a cat.

"Agni, you should be happy that we met here, so don't cry, if someone bullies you, tell me, I'll kick it away for you!"

"Jiuge..." Yin Liehuo couldn't stop crying, he thought he was alone, no matter how bitter and lonely he was, he had to fight to the end on this bloody and ruthless road.Unexpectedly, Jiu Ge came here, at least he would never be lonely again...

"Okay, okay, don't cry." Baili Jiuge patted Yin Liehuo's shoulder consolingly, seeing that Yin Liehuo was only wearing a middle coat, he couldn't help saying: "You don't wear much, let me help you add a piece of clothing first " After saying that, he went to Yin Liehuo's closet to rummage through his clothes, quickly found a jacket, and brought it over.

Yin Liehuo settled down now, "Jiuge..." Staring at Baili Jiuge's face, "So I'm really not dreaming..."

"Of course not!" Baili Jiuge draped the jacket on Yin Liehuo's shoulders, carefully tied the belt for her, and said with a smile: "Mo Li is here too, look there!"

In response to Baili Jiuge's words, a white shadow flashed, and Mo Li appeared in front of the two of them, and said with a faint smile, "Miss Raging Fire."

The tip of Yin Liehuo's nose was a little sore, she stood up because she was moved, walked towards Mo Li, and murmured: "Thank you, thank you..."

Seeing that Yin Liehuo could stand up, Baili Jiuge was surprised: "Lenghuo, your legs!" Not only can he stand up, but he can also walk!
Yin Liehuo said embarrassingly: "I'm sorry, Jiuge...Actually, my leg was basically healed before I came to Heluo...but I kept pressing it down..."

It was said that Baili Jiuge didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Yin Liehuo's concealment, but was only happy for Yin Liehuo.

"Great!" said with an excited smile, "Senior Ghost Doctor's prescription is really powerful, Li Huo, you finally don't have to use a wheelchair and can walk like us. This is really a great thing!"

After thinking about it, my heart was full of hope, Baili Jiuge said: "Next, I have to pay attention to how to cure your voice! I believe your original voice must be very pleasant, I must find a way to listen to it. to your original voice!"

Yin Liehuo nodded movedly, another tear fell from the corner of his eye, and was wiped away by Baili Jiuge with a smile. I won’t let you be harmed by the Heluo people. Both of us were suppressed for too long in Dashang, and now we just happen to accompany you to do a big fight! I don’t understand those open and dark arrows, so I leave it to you and Mo Li, as for me, I will do my best to help you beat someone up, and you must not dismiss us, don't you think so?"

"Okay, okay..." Yin Liehuo was so moved beyond words, tears rolled down his cheeks, warmly soaking Baili Jiuge's little hands.

At this time, Mo Li whispered: "In the future, the empress will hold a big banquet in the palace to celebrate the reunification of the fire girl's ancestors. Jiu Ge and I are planning to visit at the banquet that day."

Yin Liehuo thought for a while, and said: "On that day, Heluo's royal family will be present. Heluo has nothing to do with Zhou Guo. If you come, nothing will happen. We can also take this opportunity to send people from the royal family See you all."

"Hmm..." Mo Li's thoughts were almost the same as Yin Liehuo's.

Seeing this, Baili Jiuge reckoned that it was getting late, so she asked Yin Liehuo to rest earlier, and advised her to recuperate her legs more, so as not to let the toxin rebound.In the end, he and Mo Li confirmed that there was no more murderous intent in the courtyard, and then they both left quietly...

But the next day, when he got up early in the morning, Baili Jiuge ran out from the window of the inn to visit Yin Liehuo in the courtyard.Mo Li saw her acting so flamboyantly and casually, so he just smiled, let her go, and settled last night's bill by himself first, and then headed towards the courtyard.

However, when Baili Jiuge came to the Xiangyuan for a meeting and was led to the main hall by the maid, he happened to see a different scene.

I saw seven or eight young men standing neatly in front of the main hall, all dressed in the same brocade long gown, each with a certain image.And the person in the head, with eyebrows like a scimitar, was handsome and solemn, and said to Yin Liehuo: "Your Highness Fifth Emperor, this is the group of servants assigned by the palace that I told you yesterday. In the future, I will do my best Serve His Highness, let His Highness conceive an heir as soon as possible, stretching across Heluo Sheji."

Listening to these words, Baili Jiuge always felt strange to a certain extent, and there were colorful expressions on his face. It took a long time to realize it, oh yes!Heluo Kingdom is a female queen!These ministers are equivalent to concubines of big businessmen.Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Huo came back, the empress would bestow so many male pets on her. Is this considered a blessing?
After thinking about it, what Yanfu, I clearly know who Agni likes... Baili Jiuge couldn't help but feel sour.

Yin Liehuo waved his hand calmly, signaling Guan Shilang to take these men down, give each of them some money, and settle them down first.

After everyone retreated, Baili Jiuge trotted over, took Yin Liehuo's hand, and went to talk to her, chatting while waiting for Mo Li to come over.

This day passed very quickly, and the next day was the day when Yin Liehuo was going to pay a formal visit to Luo Xia and the imperial sisters.

The next day, Empress Luo Xia held a grand banquet in the palace to celebrate the return of Fifth Emperor Luo Xiangsi to Heluo.The whole city of Luoyi was also decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the whole country celebrated with joy.

In Chengguang Hall, the finely textured brocade red carpet is spread from the entrance of the hall to the front of the dragon chair.Exquisite table cases and cushions have been placed one by one, and the royal relatives, civil and military officials arrived one after another and sat down one by one.

The women of the royal family and the female officials have fragrant and misty hairpins on their temples, and they are full of beauty, and every woman wears all kinds of scarves.

Xiapei was originally a decorative garment used by the Liang Kingdom to distinguish the ranks of women, but the Heluo Kingdom used it on royal women and female officials.

Royal women wear red, imperial concubine, cherry, and akane red scarves, while female officials wear blue scarves such as cyan, ultramarine, flower green, and pansy.And according to their respective ranks, the patterns on the Xiapei are also different.The first and second ranks use gold embroidered Yunxia and Zhai patterns, the third and fourth ranks use gold embroidered clouds and peacock patterns, the fifth rank uses embroidered clouds and mandarin duck patterns, the sixth and seventh ranks use embroidered clouds and magpie patterns, and the eighth and ninth ranks use embroidered twining patterns.

As for Yin Liehuo, since he hadn't been conferred yet, he didn't wear the Xiapei, but came here dressed in fine clothes and sat in his seat.

Heluo's banquets usually start with the so-called family routine, and the princesses begin to exchange greetings with Yin Liehuo, occasionally probing.

Yin Liehuo complied impeccably, only when he was talking to the Fourth Imperial Daughter Luo Bingshuang, his eyes became more thoughtful.The person Luo Bingshuang sent to assassinate her the day before yesterday had been silenced by her, but the news might have reached Luo Bingshuang's ears.

Yin Liehuo sneered.The first person he wanted to bring down was Luo Bingshuang.

At this time, someone came in from outside the palace, it was Jin Zhi.She said to Luo Xia: "Your Majesty, there are distinguished guests outside the palace asking to see you."

The audience's attention was attracted.

Luo Xia asked, "Did they report their names and identities?"

Jin Zhi cupped his hands, "Reporting to Your Majesty, it is the Prince of Zhou and the Concubine of the Crown Prince who came here. The minister just brought them into the palace, and they are outside the palace at this moment."

After hearing this, there was a series of surprised sounds in the hall.A few days ago, such a big event happened in the court of the Shang Kingdom. It is said that the weak Zhou Shizi was actually a top expert. He carried the princess and fought all the way out of the court. , and didn’t go back to Zhou Kingdom... I didn’t expect that they would both appear in Heluo Kingdom today!
And that concubine of the Zhou Dynasty, who has a hundred miles and nine songs, is actually "Black Phoenix", one of the seven places in the Valley of Flowers, no wonder she is so powerful!
People whispered, and at this moment, some young princesses and county masters couldn't help but comment: "Are they really the ones who came outside the palace? I really want to see what kind of demeanor it is. I heard that Zhou Shizimo Li is like a painted person, gentle and elegant, but it is really hard to think of the head of 'Siming Gongzi'. And that Baili Jiuge, I heard that her real appearance is the best in the world, I don't know how beautiful it is. What does it look like, I really want to see it quickly."

Someone else said in a low voice: "But no one is perfect. No matter how shocking the prince of Zhou is, he is still a medicine jar; and the concubine of the prince of Zhou, she is beautiful and has high martial arts, but she is not self-cultivated and has a little bit of etiquette. I don't understand."

Then someone worried: "Those two people openly appeared in Heluo. If we entertained them, would it arouse Shang Guo's anger? That would be bad for the relationship between the two countries."

"What's so bad about this? Haven't you seen that Emperor Zhaoyi of the Shang Kingdom has given up hunting down Prince Zhou and his concubine? I'm afraid either he can't chase him, or he doesn't dare to chase him!"

The women chattered in unison, the voice was clear and clear, it sounded like pearls and jade pendants falling to the ground one after another.

Only Yin Liehuo drank tea silently, waiting for Luo Xia's order.

"Prime Minister Jin." Luo Xia finally said majesticly: "Go and invite distinguished guests into Chengguang Hall."

"Yes." Jin Zhi saluted.

Then, under the clear shout of the female officer, everyone's eyes were all focused on the gate of Chengguang Hall.

Against the sunlight, two parallel figures cast long shadows on the gorgeous red carpet, swaying slightly as they stepped in.

The first thing that catches the eye is the impact of red and white interlaced colors. The red, the red is positive, the red is brilliant, and the red is like a burning fire.That white, the white is clear, the white is elegant, and the white is like the bright moon among the clouds in the night sky.

Everyone couldn't help stretching their necks, and then they saw the faces of the two people. At this moment, gasps sounded without any surprise, and they felt that the rumors about the two people were indeed true, and even that sounded very Exaggerated rumors are not as good as what you see!
Can't help but sigh in my heart: these two people are indeed a match made in heaven.

Looking at the man and woman walking together, one is bright and charming, one is elegant and gentle, one is flamboyant and unrestrained, and the other is restrained and indifferent.A face so beautiful that all the women in the church can't match it; a face that is picturesque, but it makes people's heart beat and forget their words.

The red skirt and the white crane cloak, gently caressing each other as they walk, are as gentle and tacit as the hands of two people holding each other. On the way of walking together, they firmly become ten fingers intertwined.

It wasn't until he got to Luoxia's seat that Mo Li smiled faintly, his right hand was still clasped with Baili Jiuge's little hand, and said lightly: "I, Mo Li, and Baili Jiuge are here to pay respects to Empress Heluo. May the empress Your majesty, the dragon is in good health and has a long life."

Luo Xia pursed her lips and smiled. After all, she had sat on the throne for many years, and she still had excellent concentration. When she got up now, her smile still revealed majesty.

She said: "Zhou Shizi and Shizi Concubine don't need to be polite. I am very honored that you can come to the banquet today. Come here, I will give you two seats, please sit with Xiangsi."

"Of order." A palace maid hurriedly followed suit, and placed a wide table and two cushions on the vacant seat beside Yin Liehuo.

Mo Li said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Empress." Then he took Baili Jiuge's hand and took her to the seat.

At this moment, Baili Jiuge was sitting between the two of them. Seeing Yin Liehuo's charming and exquisite appearance after being dressed up, he couldn't help but praise: "Agni, you are so beautiful!" and broke a banana for Yin Liehuo.

But at this moment, someone on the princess's seat deliberately said in a tone that would make people think: "The concubine and Xiangsi look like close friends in a boudoir! Presumably when the prince of Zhou was in Shang Kingdom in the past, he and Xiangsi Let’s walk very close, I don’t know if it’s sneaky or aboveboard.”

These words are naturally very aggressive, Baili Jiuge frowned.Who is this, looking for kicks?
