Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master

Chapter 245 Winning the Change of the Empress Dowager

Because the matter of bestowing the side concubine fell through, the queen mother sent everyone away, leaving only Baili Jiuge, Mo Li and Li Yuheng.

The entire Yannian Hall immediately became quiet.Baili Jiuge massaged, Mo Li talked with the queen mother, while Li Yuheng was by the side, wiping the jade wares in the Yannian Palace with family heirloom tools.

As time passed, the Empress Dowager only felt an indescribable refreshment in her mind. She had not experienced this clear and comfortable feeling for at least ten years. The joy in her heart at this moment was uncontrollable. The wave is rising.

Baili Jiuge saw that his efforts were very effective, and felt joyful in his heart. He exchanged glances with Mo Li, and saw strong encouragement from his eyes.

Not long after, Yuying found Baili Jiuge's notes.Mo Li flipped through the notes and found the part about the treatment of migraine. Most of the herbs needed are in stock in the palace, but there are still a few herbs that are not available in the Imperial Medical Office. You have to buy them now and look for them.

Mo Li said with a smile: "I'm going to find all the herbs for the empress dowager's grandmother. It's good for Jiuge to stay here. Miss Li, please take care of Jiuge too."

"No problem." Li Yuheng was carefully cleaning the jade.

For Li Yuheng, although Mo Li had speculations, but after all, he had met many times in the past, so he knew the basics.In addition, Li Yuheng has always been very protective of them. In Mo Li's heart, he still trusts Li Yuheng more than guarding against them.But just in case, he hinted at Yuying in the dark with his eyes, and ordered Yuying to stay in the Yannian Palace to protect the safety of Baili Jiuge.

At this moment, Li Yuheng polished a piece of jade glaze, stood up and admired the crystal clear work, Baili Jiuge called her: "Yuheng, put out the agarwood."

The Empress Dowager opened her eyes, a little puzzled: "What do you do after destroying the agarwood? Aijia likes the fragrance of agarwood."

Baili Jiuge answered: "Agarwood is not good for migraines. The queen mother, for the sake of your health, you should order galangal in the future. Galangal from the Northern Wei Dynasty has an analgesic effect. Although agarwood is calming, the aroma is too strong. suitable for you."

The queen mother said "oh" thoughtfully, and said, "Yuheng, then you should destroy the agarwood first." Another nun was recruited, and she relayed the meaning of Baili Jiuge to buy galangal up.

Li Yuheng turned off the incense burner, found a chair and sat down, drinking tea.

The Queen Mother asked: "Nine Songs ever saved your life?"

Hearing that the queen mother called "Jiuge" instead of "Baili Jiuge" this time, Baili Jiuge was overjoyed and full of confidence.

Li Yuheng replied: "I went to Phoenix Mountain to dig jade. I was chased by three wolves. Suddenly, the concubine Shizi appeared and shot three feathers from the sky, forcing the wolves away. It’s a pity to see it with my own eyes.”

"Oh?" The queen mother squinted her eyes, unknowingly, she became more interested in Baili Jiuge.

Li Yuheng smiled and asked again: "I heard that you broke into the Tower of Nine Deaths in order to undo the Yin-Yang curse for His Royal Highness. When the market talked about this, I was stunned. The Tower of Nine Deaths has always been accessible but cannot come out." , what happened to you inside, that you narrowly escaped death?"

The Empress Dowager had never heard of such a thing, she opened her pupils, and hurriedly said: "When did this happen, Jiu Ge, please tell the Ai family quickly."

Baili Jiuge never thought that Li Yuheng would bring up the topic here. When she mentioned the Tower of Nine Deaths, she was filled with emotions, as if everything was like a dream from yesterday, changing rapidly, full of indomitable belief and final desperate struggle.

I wanted to ask Li Yuheng how she knew about the Tower of Nine Deaths, but after thinking about it, the businessman was well-informed after all, not to mention that the Tower of Nine Deaths has collapsed, so such a big news must have spread... The end of Baili Jiuge He was not in the mood to pursue this, so he recalled what happened in the Tower of Nine Deaths at that time, and spoke out.

"I broke into the Tower of Nine Deaths to meet a person named Si Long. She is the Necromancer of the Yin-Yang Family. She was the one who cast the Yin-Yang Curse on Mo Li..."

Bit by bit, Baili Jiuge narrated it. In the process of recollection, I often saw the Queen Mother's face turning blue and white. Baili Jiuge was afraid that he would cause the Queen Mother another headache, so he wanted to say it lightly.But Li Yuheng kept asking, Baili Jiuge had no choice but to tell everything in the Tower of Nine Deaths, including that she gave Ziqi the antidote and fell into the endless abyss by herself...

At the end, Baili Jiuge didn't realize that his voice was covered with deep pain, "I thought that with the antidote, Mo Li would no longer be tortured by the Yin-Yang Curse, but, but this turned out to be Si Long's poisonous scheme! Mo Li managed to find the Nine Colors Ganoderma lucidum, but because I negligently lured Liao Xiying into the house, the Nine Colors Ganoderma was also destroyed in the end!"

The Queen Mother was shocked.It has never been thought that Baili Jiuge's affection for Mo Li is so deep that he can throw away his life without caring about it.She originally thought that Baili Jiuge was only given to Mo Li by Emperor Zhaoyi, and no matter how much affection she had, she had experienced some humiliating days together, but she didn't expect...

"Shizifei." Li Yuheng called out.

Baili Jiuge raised his hand and stubbornly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. When he met Li Yuheng's gaze, he inexplicably felt a tremor in his heart, wondering if he had read it wrong.Why did she feel that Li Yuheng's gaze was so cold?It's like quenching the unmelted ice and snow...

"Concubine Shizi, did you just say that Liao Xiying was responsible for the destruction of the Nine Colors Ganoderma lucidum?"

Baili Jiuge was surprised again: "Yuheng, you... know Liao Xiying?"

"I've heard of it." Li Yuheng sneered, avoiding the matter and not mentioning it, and said to the Queen Mother with a smile: "At the beginning when His Royal Highness was imprisoned on the execution ground in the imperial capital, the Queen Mother knew the story of the concubine being killed alone on the execution platform." ?"

The Empress Dowager showed a look of shock: "This story... Aijia is not unheard of." It's just that when she heard it from people in the past, she smiled disapprovingly, and didn't take it seriously at all.Could it be that, as the rumors said, Baili Jiuge threw out the gold medal for avoiding death and voluntarily died for him?
Li Yuheng said: "One of my friends in the business field happened to be in the imperial capital that day and saw the situation with his own eyes. Empress Dowager, do you know what Shi Zifei said on the execution platform that day?"

"Yuheng, you..." Baili Jiuge was moved and warm in his heart.

Li Yuheng said: "At that time, the imperial concubine threw out the gold medal for avoiding death, and said to Emperor Zhaoyi, 'This token is for Moli's life! I am singing a hundred miles and nine songs, and I am asking for my own death. I have no complaints or favors!' She also asked His Royal Highness to promise her to live on and not to die at the hands of anyone. She asked His Royal Highness to promise her that nothing else could kill him in this life except time. Empress Dowager, this is not a story with embellishments. It's really true!"

The Empress Dowager was stunned, took a deep breath, and felt the sour wind spread into every vein, with mixed feelings in her heart, and unconsciously felt a hot and humid feeling from the corners of her eyes.

She wiped away her tears in shock, and suddenly felt guilty, were the things she did before really right?At this moment, I feel that it is a big mistake.What I did was not only unreasonable, but also almost ungrateful...

The queen mother was stunned and lost her mind for a long time.
