Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master

Chapter 87

This morning, both Yin Liehuo and Huo's were extremely nervous. Yin Liehuo sent many smart people to the palace to inquire about the news, for fear that something might happen to his father.

But he didn't want that when he went to court at noon, Yin Zuoxiang came back intact, without any abnormalities.

The two breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly welcomed Yin Zuoxiang in, asked about his health, and the lunch after that was also spent in this atmosphere of worrying about gains and losses.

During the banquet, Baili Jiuge wanted to toast Yin Zuoxiang, but found that the family of three became more and more strange, and finally couldn't help laughing: "Agni, what are you and Mrs. Yin doing? It’s as if you’re talking about it at this meal, why are you so nervous?”

Yin Liehuo sighed softly, and knew that Baili Jiuge was an idiot, so he could only laugh and say, "It's nothing, my mother and I just want to talk."

"Oh, okay, but I still want to bother you." Baili Jiuge didn't care, smiled brightly, held the yellow orange wine in front of Yin Zuoxiang, his eyes were clear and innocent, full of brilliance, bright as if Can dispel all the haze in the world.

She smiled and said: "Thank you for your hospitality these two days, Yin Zuoxiang, I respect you for this glass of wine. By the way, I would like to say something for Lie Huo and Mrs. Yin, you must pay attention to your health, and don't worry your family too much!"

After finishing speaking, he drank it up in one gulp, then turned the wine cup over, and there was not a single drop of wine left at the bottom of the cup.

Yin Zuoxiang praised: "The imperial concubine is really straightforward. In this imperial capital, people with true temperament are even rarer!"

Isn't it?It's just that what other people do is their business, but she is used to being free and easy, even if she has to wrong herself sometimes, she will not change her nature, she still wants to be straightforward and be the most authentic The willful nine songs!

She replied in a loud voice: "What Yin Zuoxiang said is that if you praise me so much, I will serve you another glass of wine. Come on, let's do it!"

"Okay!" Yin Zuoxiang was infected by this whimsical and bright breath, and at this moment he seemed to be back when he was young, he got up and clinked glasses with Baili Jiuge, and the two drank it down in one gulp.

However, at this moment in the imperial palace, it is a scene where the mountain rain is about to come and the building is full of wind.

Inside Yihua Palace, there was a dead air, all the servants kept silent and bowed their heads, not daring to let out a breath, and secretly glanced at Baili Qingping on the Feixue couch from the corner of her eye.

Baili Qingping suddenly shouted, this angry scream scared the whole palace to fall to the ground, kneeling crookedly, trembling uncontrollably.

But Baili Qingping stood up with her growing belly, her face was as white as snow, and she was panting because of extreme anger, but at this moment, a voice came from outside the hall, "The emperor is here-"

Hearing this sound, Baili Qingping froze. At this moment, she made up her mind and fell towards the ground. The moment Yin Haoyi stepped into the hall, she fell to the ground.

"My concubine!" Yin Haoyi gasped, and hurried over, shouting, "Call to the imperial doctor, quickly pass on to the imperial doctor!"

The surrounding maidservants were in a mess, trying to help Baili Qingping up, but Yin Haoyi kicked her away.

"Useless things, kill them! Kill them all!"

Everyone's face turned ashen, and when they were about to faint, Baili Qingping suddenly grabbed Yin Haoyi's sleeve, gasped in pain, and cried out in tears: "Don't, don't kill them, they are not wrong, everything is my fault. My concubine's fault..."

Yin Haoyi's complexion was very bad, and he carried Baili Qingping to the Feixue couch, half lying down with his arms around her, glared at the maids in disgust, ignored her, and asked Baili Qingping worriedly : "Why did my concubine say this? Is she seriously pregnant? Why did she suddenly faint on the ground?"

"Your majesty, it's my concubine's own fault..." Baili Qingping cried until the pear blossoms rained on her face, "Isn't it the concubine's fault? The concubine is a coquettish, a disaster that interfered with the emperor's handling of the government. Now the concubine's old illness Attack, life is not long, this is all retribution..."

Yin Haoyi was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "You said you have an old disease?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, this concubine wanted to tell you, but she couldn't bear to distract you, so she wanted to rot this matter in her stomach..."

Baili Qingping cried and said: "Chenqie's mother was born with angina pectoris, this disease... also spread to Chenqie and younger sister Ziru. Several times, angina pectoris came suddenly, and Chenqie almost died Died of heartache, just because of thinking of the emperor's favor, finally survived... But this time, the concubine felt that her heart was so painful that it was about to burst... This is God's punishment for the concubine, the punishment The concubine is a disaster..." Weeping sadly: "The emperor, I am sorry, I am afraid that the concubine will not be able to give birth to the emperor's heir smoothly... The emperor's kindness to the concubine, the concubine will have to repay it in the next life—"

"My dear concubine, hold on, don't die!" Yin Haoyi's face twisted, and he eagerly shouted at the palace servants: "Where's the medicine? Bring the heartache medicine that your mother usually takes!"

The palace maids lay even lower, trembling and not daring to move.They only know that the empress got very angry today, and then she suddenly became like this. As for the medicine, they never mentioned it to the empress!
Seeing the helpless look of the palace maids, Yin Haoyi was so angry that he said, "Trash! They are all a bunch of trash!"

Just at this moment, the old imperial doctor from the Imperial Hospital came running out of breath. Seeing everyone trembling on the ground, he shivered in fright. Then Yin Haoyi yelled and called him in, and hurried over like walking on eggshells.Just as she was about to feel Baili Qingping's pulse, she saw that Baili Qingping's eyes were fixed, as if she couldn't breathe anymore.

She cried out desperately: "I can't do it! This concubine can't hold on anymore... Your Majesty, this concubine doesn't want to die, and this concubine still wants to be by the emperor's side... But there is only one thing that can cure this concubine's angina. A concubine can't take it selfishly... I would rather die and show my ambition!"

Yin Haoyi hurriedly said: "Tell me, what can cure your angina pectoris! No matter how much I spend, I will find it!"

Baili Qingping cried and refused: "No...the concubine can't do this, no..."

Yin Haoyi was bubbling with anxiety, and kept shouting: "My concubine, tell me quickly, your life is more important than anything else, tell me quickly!"

"Your Majesty, your concubine..."

"Speak quickly!"

"Okay, okay, my concubine said... When I was young, I once heard a wise person say that only... a man who was born during the time of Ding Chou in the Guiyou month of the Yimao year, who boiled medicine with his heart, could ...There is no other way to eradicate the angina of the concubine. But...the concubine can't do this kind of thing, how can I change my heart!"

"Don't talk about my concubine, I'm going to do it!" Yin Haoyi gritted his teeth fiercely, and yelled at the eunuchs who followed him: "Didn't you hear what the concubine concubine said just now? Go and do it! Go check, I Find someone for me within the time limit of a stick of incense, he must be a man born during the time of Ding Chou in the Guiyou month of the Yimao year, hurry up!"

The eunuchs were so frightened that they had no choice but to bite the bullet and go.

As for the old doctor standing next to him, he was sweating all over his body. He felt that the man in the dragon robe in front of him was terrifying like a beast, and he made such a decision without even thinking about it.It's so senseless!Too brutal!

The time of a stick of incense passed extremely slowly, and the sound of dripping knocked on the hearts of the palace people, they just felt that they were being tortured by Ling Chi.

The eunuchs crawled back, kneeling on the ground, trembling violently, taking advantage of the time when the incense would go out.

The Chief Ouchi said: "Report, Your Majesty, the servants have read the records of the household department and found, found..."

"Find what?!" growled.

The head of the Ouchi was heartbroken, and he went all out: "The servants found out... Mr. Zuoxiang, he is the only person in the capital who meets the conditions!"

The sound fell, and there was a dead silence in Yihua Palace, everyone did not dare to breathe, just waiting for Yin Haoyi to speak.

I saw his jaw tense, and a coldness flashed in his eyes, he waved his sleeves, and said ruthlessly: "Xuan Yin Zuo Xiang entered the palace!"

When the imperial decree was delivered to Zuo Xiangfu, it was almost the end of the day, and the sun was setting towards the west.

At that time, Baili Jiuge was chatting with Yin Zuoxiang's family in the garden, and when he received the imperial edict, he still felt a little strange.Isn't it just Xuan Yin Zuo Xiang entering the palace? Why are there so many people here, even the boring chief executive?

Yin Zuoxiang was speechless for a while, and suddenly smiled at Huo Shi and Yin Liehuo, stroked their shoulders, and said kindly: "I'll come when I go." After all, he didn't look at his wife and daughter again, and just followed Then he took the manager of Ouchi to go by car.

As soon as he turned around, his eyes became loose, and his heart sank heavily.

He has been an official in the court for a long time, but repeated bitter remonstrances are ineffective. How could Yin Zuoxiang not know that Emperor Zhaoyi is hopeless.But I have the blood of the great merchant royal family flowing in my body, and I am even a minister of the great merchant, so I should do my best, and death is not a pity!

When he went to the palace, he already knew that there were bad luck and bad luck, but he still begged the heaven to bless Da Shang so that Emperor Zhaoyi would know how to return from his lost way.Yin Zuoxiang always believed that no matter how much Emperor Zhaoyi listened to the words of the evil concubine, he would not go too far.

Therefore, Yin Zuoxiang never looked back at his wife and daughter until he drove away, just for fear that they would be worried...

Yin Liehuo in the wheelchair looked back, her long eyelashes covered the dark light in her eyes, she was silent for a moment, and whispered softly: "Mother, let's go into the house... Jiuge, please help my mother."

"That's natural." Baili Jiuge didn't realize anything, just smiled and helped Huo Shi, and said as he walked: "Mrs. Yin, slow down, I'll make dinner tonight. I just happened to see if I can make it now." Learn to sell now and make your craft!"

Huo Shi originally cared about Yin Zuoxiang in his heart, but now seeing Baili Jiuge laughing freely, he kindly replied: "Well, I really trouble the concubine."

"No trouble, no trouble, I'm never tired of cooking! Anyway, let's help you in and rest for a while. I'll go to the kitchen to familiarize myself with the environment, and pick out ingredients by the way!"

In this way, Baili Jiuge sent Huo Shi to the main hall, poured tea for both Yin Liehuo and Huo Shi, and then strode across the threshold and headed for the kitchen.

The kitchen of Zuo Xiangfu is very small and simple, so it is kind. Baili Jiuge stays here focused on studying Huo’s craftsmanship, ingredients, and seasoning ratios. Little did they know that an earth-shattering event had happened outside.

And when she knew it, it was already a bolt from the blue.

Baili Jiuge was awakened by the miserable cries from outside. She raised her head from the many seasoning boxes, and then heard Zuo Xiang's mansion wailing, and occasional sounds of cursing.

She was surprised, what happened?So he put down what he was doing and headed towards the front hall.

When he came to the front hall, he saw that Zuo Xiangfu was immersed in an extremely oppressive atmosphere. The sound of sobbing and choking densely filled the front hall. It sounded sad but he dared not speak out.

The eerie atmosphere was like a pervasive silk thread, choking Baili Jiuge's neck. She saw a blanket on the ground in the middle at a glance, and something was lying on the blanket, covered by a white cloth full of blood. Then, the blanket was already soaked in blood unsightly.

"This... what is this?" There was an ominous premonition in my heart.

She raised her eyes and met Yin Liehuo's gaze. At this moment, the grief and indignation in Yin Liehuo's eyes surged like a huge wave, drowning Baili Jiuge from head to toe.

The ominous premonition in his heart jumped to his mouth, and Baili Jiuge roared uncontrollably: "Impossible! This can't be! It can't be..."

"Pick off the cloth!" Yin Liehuo's broken voice suddenly sounded sharply, and she shouted hoarsely: "Don't cry anymore, go and lift up the cloth!"

A servant who was close to him finally chose to fight. He was crying at this moment, not daring to look directly at the scene on the ground. He gritted his teeth, and the moment he threw his face away, he suddenly lifted the white cloth!

In an instant, countless chaotic voices resounded in the hall. Some of the people who fell at this moment knocked over the cabinet, and some smashed the vase.The sound of the vase being smashed was piercing and sharp, mixed with the sudden burst of crying and wailing, tearing Baili Jiuge's ears.

She stared at Yin Zuoxiang who was lying on the blanket as if petrified, her mind was in a mess, she even forgot to help Yin Liehuo fell off the wheelchair.

Yin Zuoxiang was lying on the blanket, his long disheveled hair was covered with blood, his forehead was cracked, and blood still came out between the bruises!But this is not the most frightening thing. The most frightening thing is his chest. His clothes are opened wide, and half of the flesh has been dug out. One piece is exactly the heart!And the rest of the viscera were faintly visible between the fuzzy flesh and blood clothes!

Baili Jiuge was so shocked that she couldn't speak, she just felt that there was a cruel hand in her mind, tearing her meridians.

She wanted to tell herself that the person in front of her was not Yin Zuoxiang, but the cruel fact pierced through her last fantasy.She exclaimed sadly: "Impossible! It's impossible!" She was clinking glasses with her kindly a few hours ago, why now...

Yin Liehuo suddenly raised his face, the bottom of his dark eyes turned red like blood at this moment.She held back her tears and shouted hoarsely: "Go and stop Mother, don't let her come over, go quickly..."

No one went forward, they all fell to the ground, weeping bitterly.

"Go!" Yin Liehuo roared almost madly.

Finally someone got up from the ground, and managed to run a few steps, but it was already too late.

Seeing that Huo rushed in desperately, she, who had already got the wind, was still praying that this was just a cruel joke, but when she saw the truth, she couldn't bear the blow and passed out.

"Mother!" Yin Liehuo rushed towards Huo Shi, but when she got up, her strength broke in her legs. She fell again, desperately crawling towards Huo Shi!
At this moment, Baili Jiuge finally came back to his senses, and hurried to help Mrs. Huo, but Mrs. Huo fell to the ground with too much momentum, and forced Baili Jiuge to sit on the ground.

There was wailing in the hall, blood red filled the field of vision, so painful, so fishy.

Yin Liehuo was still crawling, as if crawling over a swamp, his bloody five fingers scratched the ground with jagged bloodstains, which was shocking.

At this moment, the voice of the chief internal officer of the palace came from outside.

"The decree has arrived!"

The grief in the room was pierced by the shout, and in an instant, a breath of hatred and resentment spread in the hall.

However, the Chief Inspector stepped in with a group of servants in high spirits.

As soon as they entered the room, they seemed to be frightened by the tragedy in the room, and they all shivered, and the chief internal officer bit his lower lip guiltily.But in the blink of an eye, he showed a heartbroken expression, and said: "Mrs. Yin, Miss Yin, the deceased is dead, please express my condolences..."

Yin Lie raised his eyes eagerly, his eyes were full of hatred and death, and the chief executive slipped in shock, almost fell, coughed twice, and said in a drawn-out voice: "Madam Yin, Miss Yin , please kneel down to accept the order."

Seeing the chief executive's face change so quickly, Baili Jiuge sneered: "Didn't you see that Mrs. Yin has fainted from grief? The fire has already fallen to the ground! What are you talking about kneeling down to accept the order? These people have their consciences eaten by dogs?!"

The head steward paused, and could only say: "This is the imperial decree, our family is only following the emperor's order, and the princess should be careful when she speaks! Forget it, for the sake of Mrs. Yin and Miss Yin, our family also Don't talk nonsense, this is the decree!"

Unfold the imperial decree of the jade axis used by the first-rank officials, and read aloud: "By heaven, my emperor's decree said: My uncle, Zuo Chancellor Yin Xun, has worked hard for dozens of years, is highly respected, and loves the people like a son. He is a minister of the big business. Fortunately for Jiangshan Sheji. However, he worked hard and became sick from overwork. Once he became ill and was unable to return to heaven, he died in the temple on the third day of June in the fifth year of Zhaoyi. Thousands of precious jades, to comfort me with Zhao Zhen. Posthumously named Zuo Xiang Yin Xun the Duke of the Huguo, with the same salary as the Prince, hereditary forever. His wife Yin Huo's first-rank Lady Huo was registered as the first-rank lady of the country, and the salary was the same as the Prince and Concubine. The husband and wife have no children under their knees, so they specially adopted the daughter-in-law system, and granted the adopted daughter Yin Liehuo the title of Huguo Junjun, with the same salary as the county lord, and allowed her to inherit the Huguogong's family business as a woman, and the title of Guogong was passed down from generation to generation. The day of the zodiac will be chosen, and Yin Xun, the prime minister of the left, will be buried in the imperial mausoleum with the ceremony of national mourning. Order, the treasure of the third day of June in the fifth year of Zhaoyi, hereby!"

When the words fell, Yin Liehuo's shattered voice was so cold amidst the muffled choking that filled the room, it was as cold as snow could fly in this June.

"My daughter, Yin Liehuo...received the order on behalf of Zuoxiang's mansion, thank you, Your Majesty...Long En!"

At this moment, Baili Jiuge only felt his heart throbbing, and a feeling of being so cold that his whole body became stiff coiled up.She stared at Yin Liehuo, only thinking that she must have read it wrong.Such a depressed and gloomy person who is full of indifference to life, why is he so indifferent at this moment, like a reborn Shura after experiencing death!
Such Yin Liehuo made everyone hold their breath in shock.The big inner guard also felt uncomfortable, and hurriedly handed over the imperial decree to Yin Liehuo, said "Jun Jun, please forgive me", and hurried away with the inner guards.

After they left, a low laugh escaped from Yin Liehuo's lips, falling like pearls on the ice, arousing a lonely coldness, "Yin Haoyi, my father died so tragically, and you still said it was caused by an illness?" Death?"

She suddenly raised her finger to the sky, her eyes were bloodshot and her canthus were cracked, as if she had exhausted all her strength and shouted: "The revenge of killing your father is irreconcilable, Yin Haoyi, within three years, I will be without you!"
