Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master

Chapter 75: Charming Soul (15)
Mo Li didn't answer, but turned to Duan Yao, "Madam Yao thinks what? Do you believe Jiu Ge?"

"I believe it." She asked sternly, "If I have just experienced shock and pain, and was coerced into being powerless, but I can still smile and express my determination, do you believe me?"

The three were shocked.

Yufeng's face changed, and he said disdainfully: "How can Jiuge of Baili be compared with Mrs. Yao!"

"That's not what I said." Duan Yao said, "At least when I was at her age, I couldn't be as strong and determined as her..."

For some reason, there was a hint of sadness in this tone, which made Mo Li frown slightly, and opened his lips to say something, but Duan Yao chuckled meaningfully: "Besides, your Royal Highness is so cold, if any girl likes you If you go to him, you will definitely end up with bruises all over your body."

The three of Mikage listened and looked at each other.

Yu Lei suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Mrs. Yao, don't you mean... Shizi Concubine, she..." Is she in love with His Highness Shizi?
The last half of the sentence was not said, anyone could understand it, for a while the three of them could only look up at Mo Li, waiting for him to say something.

The dim light of the setting sun is reflected in the moon-like pupils, covering the moistness at the bottom of the pupils, turning them into bottomless two pools of water, shallow and shallow.

Seemingly without any emotion, she said: "Since Madam Yao also trusts Jiuge, Yuying, from now on, the three of you don't doubt her anymore, and protect Jiuge well."

The words ended with a faint sigh at the end of the sentence, Mo Li turned around, and walked away slowly, the evening wind blew the crane's feathers, and a few Tangli petals fell, staining the white clothes...

After staring fixedly at the far away figure for a long time, Duan Yao said with a bitter smile: "This chess idiot, obviously he is also tempted, but he is still so clear in his words and deeds, he really is a decisive person!"

The three of Yuying looked at each other, and even Yu Lei didn't know what to say for a while.

Mo Li went all the way back to the bedroom, and the moment he pushed the door open, he smelled the pungent medicinal fragrance, filling the room.

Baili Jiuge was sitting on the couch, and it took a lot of effort with his right hand to take off the clothes on his left shoulder, exposing the glaring wound on his snow-white shoulder.Most of the blood had solidified, but there were still drops of blood dripping down at the feet drop by drop, winding into dazzling patterns.

Then she picked up the white porcelain bottle containing the wound medicine with her right hand, bit off the cork with her teeth, and poured it down toward the wound——

"Ugh—" The pain was excruciating!
As if it wasn't the powder that seeped into the wound but a thousand poisonous snakes!

The five fingers of the left hand curled up fiercely, pinching the mattress as if to pierce the mattress, so stubbornly supporting the body, the right hand continued to pick up the porcelain bottle and pour the medicine.

"Nine Songs..."

Next to the smoke cage and cold water screen by the door, there was a whisper of ink.

Baili Jiuge seemed to hear the deep pity in his tone, but he didn't dare to think it was true.

She just thought she was being overwhelmed, and suppressed the sharp pain and laughed: "Didn't I tell you all about it? Just wait for me outside, why do you insist on seeing blood!"

Mo Li remained silent, approached slowly, sat next to Baili Jiuge, took the porcelain bottle in her hand, and seemed to blame: "Why do you always hurt yourself..." He gently embraced her body, " You lean on me, I will give you medicine, bite me when it hurts, don't bear it."

Baili Jiuge was stunned, and hurriedly said: "This is not good, how could I bite you! I said that a little injury is fine, you don't have to take it so seriously!"

As he said so, he became more serious, "Mo Li, thank you for caring about me so much, I am really touched. Also, I was too out of control just now, and now thinking about it, I feel that such a person is not me at all Well! You said that I am also true, this period of time has become more and more abnormal, and I always feel that I can no longer act as recklessly as before."

"why?"

"Ah?" What why?
"Why, you have such a change?" He asked softly, and carefully administered the medicine to her.

At this moment, Baili Jiuge seemed to have forgotten the pain of the medicine powder, because Mo Li's words pierced his mind, his heart beat violently.

In the end, he smiled eloquently and replied: "Because I care about you!"

Mo Li trembled slightly, and poured the powder as before.

"Mo Li, if you care, you will be chaotic. I care about you and care about you. The reason is very simple, that's it, isn't it?"

The smile on the corners of her lips was once again as unrestrained as before, as bright as a rosy glow, but with a touch of cuteness, and even her hearty voice was unknowingly a little sweeter.

"Okay, okay, I'm really fine, the medicine is ready, the gauze is there, I bandaged it myself, please tie the knot for me. I won't make dinner tonight, I'll supply you tomorrow!"

Mo Li remained silent, but when Baili Jiuge reached for the gauze, he took the gauze in his hand first, pressed her body, and bandaged her wound.

His movements were slow and gentle, but Baili Jiuge couldn't resist, so he had to obediently allow Moli to bandage her wound, the slender and beautiful ten fingers finally tied the gauze knot, and then wrapped Baili Jiuge considerately clothes.

He said softly: "Don't go back to your room in the future, just sleep here with me."

Baili Jiuge was surprised, "Then where do you sleep?"

"It's also here." He said plainly, affirmatively, and logically, "Since you are my wife, it's only natural for you to sleep with me."

Baili Jiuge couldn't help being surprised, how could Mo Li say such a thing?
"Then... alright!" Anyway, it doesn't matter where you sleep, and it's convenient to sleep here to take care of him.

He agreed so readily, but he didn't notice that Mo Li's eyes were as warm as the morning sun and as gentle as water at this moment...

So this night, the three of Yufeng hurriedly moved all the things in Baili Jiuge's room to Moli's room.And Baili Jiuge, originally sat at the table and wanted to watch Yufeng and others working hard for a while, but because he was too tired during the day, he finally fell asleep in Mo Li's arms. He hugged it to bed.

What's even more helpless is that on the second day, she couldn't help getting up late.

When he woke up, there was no one around, Baili Jiuge got up dragging his injured and numb arm, dressed properly, and happened to meet Yu Lei when he went out.

With a smiling face on his face, Yu Lei joked: "It's so hot in the sun! How can you sleep like this, Shi Zifei?"

Baili Jiuge glared at him, and sneered: "Slick tongue, ask questions knowingly! I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, tell Mo Li for me, I'm going to the street to contact some good brothers I met in the Beggar Gang, and ask them to help you My eldest sister and Er Niang moved away, and then ask them to find out which bastard created the Yin-Yang curse on Mo Li's body! One day I will find that bastard out and force him to break the curse for Mo Li!"

Yu Lei's unremarkable eyes changed slightly, and he deliberately lowered his voice to tease: "The concubine Shizi really cares about His Royal Highness's affairs, concubine Shizi, please tell the truth, do you like our highness Shizi?"

Being told that he was on his mind, Baili Jiuge blushed, and said angrily: "So what, I like it as much as I like it, I dare to do it!" Waving Yu Lei's big smiling face like a tiger, "Okay, don't block it!" By the way, you can play by yourself, I will go out to find the brothers of the Beggar Gang, remember to tell Mo Li for me!"

"Oh, let's go." Yu Lei smiled eccentrically, watching the bright red figure gradually go away.

But what Ling Baili Jiuge didn't expect was that he had just stepped out of the gate of the Shizi Mansion, and before he had walked a few steps, he saw a group of eunuchs from the palace gathered in front of him.The one in the lead, Baili Jiuge has met many times, and he is the one who comes to preach the oracle almost every time.

Seeing each other for the first time, the eunuch didn't have a good face, and explained the purpose of coming sneeringly - Emperor Zhaoyi was going to hold a banquet in Mingse Palace at noon, and the prince and concubine were invited to attend.

Baili Jiuge was extremely speechless, Emperor Zhaoyi, is it possible that he has calculated the right time to prevent her from doing things?Time is too tight, there is no other way, so I have to go to the brothers of the Beggar Gang tomorrow... I just hope that there will be no more accidents at the palace banquet!
At about a quarter of the time, Baili Jiuge helped Mo Li into the snow-white brocade carriage painted with epiphyllum, and the faint fragrance of epiphyllum in the carriage was elegant and pleasant.

The driver was still Yufeng, after the two sat down, he waved his whip and rode his horse forward, while winking at Duan Yao who was standing by the gate of the mansion, telling her not to worry too much.

Going to Mingser Hall this time, the layout of the hall is different from last time.

Last time, the night was thick and the surroundings were dark, only the hall was brightly lit, and the backlight formed by the bright candles obstructed the line of sight.

But this time, under the bright sun at noon, Baili Jiuge could clearly see the whole picture of Ming Se Hall——

Carved beams and painted buildings, beaded curtains and jade, the beams and purlins are painted with Hexi color paintings, which are complicated and complicated.One hundred and eight green dragons are carved and circled on the algae well above the head, and the twelve lotus lanterns surrounded by the dragon chair in front are all burning at the moment, and the sandalwood incense added to the lamp oil fills the room with smoke.

Baili Jiuge couldn't help sneering.Dashang, it really is a luxury and a luxury that cannot be saved!
She pulled Mo Li to sit down, ignoring the contemptuous and mocking eyes of the people around her, and only talked about the places she had been to with Mo Li, hoping that Mo Li would not listen to the whispers around her.

After chatting for a while, the surroundings suddenly became quiet. It turned out that Emperor Zhaoyi came with Empress Yuan and Concubine Ping. Presumably, after Concubine Ping was thrown into the cold palace, Emperor Zhaoyi ordered her to be picked up.

Everyone knelt down and bowed, and Baili Jiuge had no choice but to bow silently. As soon as he raised his face, he met Baili Qingping's charming and evil eyes. Baili Ziru and Baili Yue looked at each other.

It's really a narrow road.

A group of mediocrity!
He simply lowered his head to look at the red carpet with complicated patterns that he couldn't look directly at.

After a while, I heard Emperor Zhaoyi sighing slowly.

"Such a beautiful day, if 'he' is still there, how wonderful it would be..."

The people in the hall were suddenly silent. This strange and quiet situation caught Baili Jiuge's attention, and he raised his eyes to Emperor Zhaoyi.

At this moment, the sandalwood incense in the incense burner was burning fiercely, and Emperor Zhaoyi's figure seemed unreal in the thick smoke.But the voice is clear and clear, word by word.

"It's been almost 18 years. To this day, I still can't forget what happened on that day. If it wasn't for Baili Xiao, how could I have survived to this day! But Baili Xiao..." He sighed deeply, as if in grief to the extreme.

The officials also seemed to cooperate with Emperor Zhaoyi, they lamented and lamented one after another, each of them looked melancholy, some even burst into tears, looking at the past like this, the whole hall was full of grief, but they didn't know which ones were sincere and which ones were fake.

On the contrary, someone sighed sadly: "Back then, General Baili broke into the army of Yan and rescued His Majesty with one shot at a time. He was extremely heroic. However, God was jealous of the talents. After all, he was outnumbered and sacrificed after saving His Majesty in blood. Thinking about the events of that day, the veterans of the Taijiao have passed their fingers."

Baili Jiuge looked at the speaker, and it turned out to be Yin Zuoxiang.She doesn't doubt this person's sincerity, but who is that Bai Lixiao who makes Yin Zuoxiang admire and love him so much?

Wait a minute... Baili Xiao is also named Baili?
But why did I never hear anyone mention this person when I was in Fengguo General's Mansion?
Suddenly there was a cry from the opposite seat, and he wished he could dig out his intestines in grief, only to see Bailiyue snot and tears, crying so hard that he burst into tears.

While crying, he said in pain: "Brother, you made many military exploits at that time, and you were at the best age, but you didn't expect good luck to trick others, so you just go! Leave me, my younger brother who has not yet reached the age of weak crown, and leave me alone. I lost my sister-in-law and the full-term child in my belly!"

Baili Jiuge's heart trembled when he heard it.

I didn't expect Da Shang to have such an old incident. It sounds like he must have not been born at that time. Was Da Shang still at war with Yan at that time?That Bai Lixiao turned out to be his uncle who had passed away long ago, and his wife who was about to give birth, what happened in the end?

On the opposite side, Baili cried so much that he was about to faint. Under the comfort of Baili Ziru, he sobbed and said: "Brother, do you know that within ten months after your sacrifice, my sister-in-law will have a dystocia. I saw it with my own eyes." Their mother and child are dead! Brother, you abandoned them so cruelly, without you, they can't survive!"

It is said that Baili Jiuge is very unpleasant, but I don't want someone to say at this time: "Mrs. General, your saying that mother and child are dead, is it true death, or is it intended to deceive people's eyes and ears."

Everyone couldn't help gasping, who is so bold?
Taking a closer look, it turned out to be an old prince. This person has been seen for a long time, and he should be Emperor Zhaoyi's uncle.

The old prince coughed a few times, and said with a sneer: "Back when the two countries were fighting, the late emperor marched in person, and His Majesty also joined the army. I still can't figure out why the people of Yan Kingdom will be killed overnight without anyone noticing. His Majesty took you away. Think carefully, maybe there are spies in the merchant army, and the only ones who knew which tent your Majesty lived in at that time were Baili Xiao and Mrs. Yuyue, so naturally Mrs. Yuyue was the most suspicious .”

Everyone was quiet for a while, and then someone echoed in a low voice: "These words are very reasonable. Mrs. Yueyue was originally brought back by General Baili in a battle with Zhou Guo. Even General Baili didn't know that she was born Where did she come from? She always wears a veil, and no one has seen her true face. Isn't such a woman suspicious? The more vulnerable a person looks, the more dangerous she is!"

Emperor Zhaoyi stopped the topic with his words: "Quiet gentlemen, don't talk about it anymore." With a haggard look and sad wish, he sighed in pain: "The past is the past, so don't talk about the reasons. When I think of Baili Xiao, I will My heartfelt condolences, I am overwhelmed with pain.”

He sighed heavily, and suddenly looked at Mo Li, showing a weird smile.

"Zhou Shizi, Master Liu just said that the more vulnerable a person is, the more dangerous he is. Do you agree with that?"

A burst of sharp and malicious coldness instantly flooded the hall, and everyone understood it, and cast their eyes watching the show.

Baili Jiuge inadvertently tightened the corner of her skirt, and looked at Mo Li worriedly, but saw him stand up expressionlessly, salute unhurriedly, and said in a slow voice: "If Your Majesty agrees, I naturally have no objection."

Emperor Zhaoyi didn't expect Mo Li to push the words back, he frowned, and sneered: "You Zhou Kingdom is a subsidiary of my Great Shang, why does your son call himself 'under'? Rong You, tell your son, how should you call yourself?" .”

Right Prime Minister Rong got up immediately, cupped his hands, and said with a sneer in line with Emperor Zhaoyi: "Your Majesty, you should call yourself a 'subject'."

At this moment, Baili Jiuge was about to get up angrily, but when he saw Rong Weijun winking at her by Rong Youxiang's side, he forcibly endured it.

She looked up at Mo Li, and he was standing beside her, still so elegant and gentle, incompatible with this luxurious palace.

The bell-like voice sounded softly, the clouds were light and the wind was clear, he saluted again, and said: "What the Right Chancellor said is very true..." As if his body couldn't hold on anymore, he covered his mouth and coughed lightly twice, and said: " Your Majesty also knows that this body of yours is on the verge of death, please forgive me for the crime of being unable to stand any longer."

Emperor Zhaoyi's face darkened, knowing that if he continued to make things difficult at this moment, he would lose his greatness, so he could only say: "Your Majesty's words are serious, your body is important, sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Mo Li cupped his hands and slowly sat down.

Baili Jiuge breathed a sigh of relief, and poured a cup of tea for Mo Li, but he didn't know that Yin Haochen, who was sitting on the royal seat, saw his actions, and his cold eyes suddenly sank, as if he was very dissatisfied. agree.

The people who watched the excitement felt that it was boring. They thought they could see how Mo Li would be ridiculed, but they didn't expect him to be watertight.For a moment, everyone couldn't see whether he was bearing the burden of humiliation, or whether he was going to be too happy to leave.

The atmosphere became weird and dignified amidst such suspicions, which did not fit the atmosphere of the palace banquet.

Emperor Zhaoyi was embarrassed, so he had to change the subject and said: "Since it is a banquet, it is better to have some new programs. Do you have any good suggestions?"

After hearing the words, everyone quickly followed suit and changed the topic, quickly discussing it.Some said it was right, some said it was a song and dance performance, and some urged the female relatives present to show off their talents.

On the contrary, Baili Qingping pointed to a tree in full bloom that was thirty feet away from the hall, and said: "Your Majesty, I think it's a good idea to have a show and invite all the female relatives to participate. Who can come here?" Whoever passes here in the shortest time and picks three flowers without touching the ground is the winner."

This suggestion sounded fresh and aroused everyone's interest, but "keeping your feet on the ground" seemed to be quite difficult, and most of the female relatives did not speak out.

Baili Ziru was the first to get up, she was curled up, her pupils were condensed, and she said gently: "My daughter is willing to participate in the competition." While speaking, she secretly looked at Yin Haochen, blushing.

Then someone shouted: "This princess wants to participate too!"

I saw Yin Ruyi standing up triumphantly, the twelve tassel bead flowers on her nine-ring fairy bun almost covered her head, and she gouged out her eyes provocatively, and said: "It's so fun! If the Crown Princess does not participate in the competition, this princess will be the first to disagree!"

Baili Jiuge was speechless.Yin Ruyi, is it over yet?Do you just want to see her make a fool of herself?
Sorry, she won't let her wish.Isn't it just picking flowers without touching the ground?It's pediatrics at all!
Then he stood up and said, "Yes, then I will participate."

Yin Ruyi didn't expect Baili Jiuge to agree so readily, and was taken aback for a moment.

Baili Qingping suddenly said: "Sister Hongxiao, you see that our two ladies from Fengguo General's Mansion have participated. As the eldest daughter, you must not be left behind."

Baili Hongxiao's face turned pale suddenly, she turned her eyes and did not dare to look directly at Baili Qingping, Qiqi Ai Ai murmured: "I... Your concubine, Hongxiao is not feeling well today, I really... really can't participate."

"Since you are unwell, dear concubine, don't force yourself to be red." Emperor Zhaoyi patted Baili Qingping's hand, but she gave her dissatisfied glances.

All these were seen by Baili Jiuge, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and then he thought about what happened yesterday... subconsciously looked at Baili Hongxiao, who was sitting on the mat at the moment, curled up slightly.

Baili Jiuge was stunned suddenly, wondering, why does it feel like Hongxiao has become fatter?I was in a hurry yesterday and didn't pay attention, but now I found that her dress is much looser than before...

Gradually he came back to his senses, and saw that two other daughters of the official family also signed up for the competition, and then the whole hall got up, surrounded by Zhaoyi Emperor Ping, the noble concubine Yuan, and went out of the Mingse Hall together, standing in front of the hall, waiting to see how many The ladies showed their skills.

Baili Jiuge supported Mo Li and looked towards the tree of flowers in the distance. At this moment, her body couldn't help shaking.

"Jiu Ge, what's the matter?" The people around her noticed her strangeness.
