Chapter 130: Skin and bones Since the last time the Queen Mother forced Jiang He to have a child and broke up unhappy, the interactions between them have been pitiful.
It was really sudden to come here suddenly today, and to ask about her health in a circumstantial way, and to hear that there is a sweet spring for birthing children in Jiuyi Mountain.
To go to Mount Jiuwei, you need to leave the palace. There is no safety outside the palace.
No matter what happens, it will make people think that someone around the Queen Mother is dishonest.
If the old people are all good, it's probably because there's a new person.
"No," Li Wenzhou thought carefully, shook his head and said, "This group of slaves were all replaced after the incident with Lord Chang'an. From then on, there were only those who were punished and put to death, and there were no new ones."
That is the old man.
Jiang He couldn't help but become more vigilant.
After Lord Chang'an was executed for treason, Zhao Zheng bloodbathed the palace and killed all those who had colluded with Lord Chang' people who served the Queen Mother at that time were almost completely replaced, so that the Queen Mother was dissatisfied for a long time.
But they ignored one thing: at that time, Wei Xiangguo was being praised for his role in rescuing the driver, and the power of the Wei family was at its peak.
So taking advantage of the change of slaves in the palace, it was easy to squeeze in a few people around the Queen Mother.
Later, the Wei family was destroyed, Wei Zhangde died, and Wei Nanxu somehow escaped to there anyone around the Queen Mother who has been dormant for several years for the Wei family? If it was Wei Nanxu's signal, it meant she was coming.
If she comes, will she bring the antidote? Jiang He suddenly tightened his grip on the hem of his concubine-colored skirt, and his whole heart lifted.
No matter how dangerous Wei Nanxu is, Jiang He is looking forward to her coming.
No matter how insane and devastating the antidote was, she still wanted it.
As long as she could save Zhao Zheng's life, she would go to hell.
"Ah Weng," Jiang He raised his head and looked at Li Wenzhou with a flash of thought, a smile appeared on the corners of his pursed lips, "Maybe I have overthought it. Since there is no newcomer, you can rest assured."
Li Wenzhou nodded when he heard this and said respectfully: "There are many things to do before the wedding. I will do my best to do my job well and take care of them so as not to disturb His Highness."
"Then please worry about it, Aweng." Jiang He nodded, his usual relaxed expression returning to his face.
Wei Nanxu, if you are on your way here, please hurry up.
Faster.
Last time we competed on chess skills and tactics.
This time, let's compete to see who is more ruthless.
"Too low."
"Too thin."
"ugly."
"The shoulders are too slanted."
"The legs are not straight enough."
……
One by one, the maids stood in front of Wei Nanxu, raising their heads excitedly or timidly.
Wei Nanxu looked at them, and even asked them to turn around and look at their backs, waists and hips, then waved his hands and shook his head with a look of disgust on his face.
There was a painting spread out in front of her, and in the painting was a woman in plain clothes.
The woman's expression was a little cold, but she had a face that was extremely beautiful in the has an oval face, a smooth forehead, bright eyes, a small and straight nose bridge, red lips and white teeth, which makes people forget about her.
That is Princess Anguo of Qi State, Jiang He.
Although Wei Nanxu was very familiar with Jiang He's face, she had not seen him for such a long time. Because she was worried about her memory problems, she went through all kinds of troubles to get this painting.
The painter participated in the memorial ceremony on the day when Zheng Guo Canal was built, and never forgot to draw this picture after returning he has also been "invited" to the Chu Kingdom by Wei Nanxu. His hands are tied and he is selecting palace maids with Wei Nanxu.
"This one looks a bit similar." Wei Nanxu pointed at a palace maid.
Her face was indeed [-]% similar to Jiang He's.
"I've just lost some weight, and I need to keep it up."
After Wei Nanxu finished speaking, he stood up, stood beside the palace maid with some joy, and asked the painter: "Who is more beautiful, me or Jiang He?"
The painter's mouth trembled, and he thought about it very tangledly, but he still said against his will: "Miss Wei is more beautiful."
"Which one of us is taller?"
Speaking of which, she and Jiang He are still growing.
The doctor didn't know what to say for a Nanxu must hope that he is better than Jiang He in everything, so in this case...
"Miss Wei is taller."
Wei Nanxu smiled so hard that his teeth showed.
"Okay, it will be great to select the embryo first and then modify it. I have been searching for doctors from Chu in the past two years. Those who know how to remove skin and bones can be used."
Really, let them eat food for so long in vain.
In Shouchun, the capital of Chu State, in a house not far from the palace, Wei Nanxu was sitting in the front hall and couldn't help but laugh when he heard the screams in the backyard.
Is it pleasant to have skin peeled off?
In order to be more like Jiang He, I'm afraid you have to suffer this.
Besides that...she had a lot of spices in front of Nanxu picked up the spices with a small silver spoon, moved it under his nose and smelled it, then poured it into the bamboo container little by little.
What does Jiang He smell like?
Different from the smell of the precious spices mixed with hers and Chang'an Jun's, she is elegant and simple, like the bamboo forest after the rain, or the green grass breaking through the ground, and...
Wei Nan Xu frowned and thought hard, then suddenly raised his head and said: "Zaponia, it's the soapberry used for laundry!"
That stuff is so low-grade that it can't even be called a spice.
There is no soapberry here.
But in order to make the gift she gave Zhao Zheng exactly the same as Jiang He, Wei Nanxu couldn't be careless at all.
The scent of soap locust and the flavor of steamed bamboo leaves are combined to make it almost the same.
The exact same Jiang He was her gift to Zhao Zheng.
Speaking of which, isn't the wedding day his birthday? He has never celebrated his birthday and never seems to care about Queen Mother had never celebrated her son's birthday, and she seemed to have forgotten it.
Happy birthday, you will love it.
Besides that.
In the small sandalwood box next to the spices, there is a pill.
It was not easy to make this elixir. People who died one after another filled the graves outside the city.
The person who brought the elixir was kneeling opposite Wei Nanxu, with a dull expression on his face, as if he had already lost hope.
"It's finally done, just in time before I go to Yong Kingdom."
Wei Nanxu smiled at the doctor, but the doctor only felt creepy.
If he still looked human at all, it was because he was still afraid of death.
"Have the poison been released?" Wei Nanxu couldn't help but asked as he looked at the pill, not daring to touch it.
"The voodoos were not released by villains," the doctor lowered his head and said, "The people sent by His Majesty put them in and sealed them. In order to raise the voodoos, blood must be dripped on the elixir every night."
"It's easy," Wei Nanxu nodded, "Whoever's blood it eats can just come with me. But I still have some doubts. Is the effect of this Gu really that powerful?"
This pill is not only Zhao Zheng's antidote, but also contains a poison that can control him.
Wei Nanxu didn't let anything else be released, only the lover's poison.
Lover Gu can make Zhao Zheng fall in love with her and listen to her words.
Thinking of this, Wei Nanxu couldn't help but was good enough to this man. She took the risk to develop an antidote for him, and made him an identical wife. She would still love him for the next hundred years.
"Okay." Wei Nanxu carefully closed the sandalwood box, stood up and said, "We can set off tomorrow."
From Qi State to the capital of Yong State, it is inevitable to pass through Wei State.
Although he had obtained the customs clearance document stamped with the seal of Wei State in advance, Jiang Ben still felt that he was not reassured enough.
The people of Wei are greedy, and it would be bad if they robbed him of the dowry he brought to his sister.
Sure enough, after finally crossing the Yellow River and about to leave the territory of Yong Kingdom, they suddenly saw a group of people on the official road.
They were burying pots and cooking on the spot. Although each of them was wearing the clothes of a guard, if you look carefully at the way these people were cooking, you should know that they came from the military camp.
Don't be aggressive when going out.
Jiang Ben asked his subordinates to explore the way.
The subordinate came back soon and said that the master of those people had said that they would stay here for the night.
The road will not get out of the way.
"That's unreasonable!" Jiang Ben pressed the sword on his waist and moved forward.
As soon as they entered their sphere of influence, these people stood up one by one and stared at Jiang of them have already picked up their crossbows. Judging from the style of the crossbows, they are definitely heavy crossbows commonly used in the army.
It seems...a bit reckless.
"Junior wants to visit your master, may I ask if you can be accommodating."
Jiang Ben bowed his hands and took a step back.
The expressions of those people softened, and an older man came out and led Jiang Ben forward.
Under the willow tree not far ahead, a little girl was sitting on a tree branch, holding a roll of bamboo slips in her hand and muttering something in her mouth.
"Although the country is big, if it is warlike, it will perish. Although the world is peaceful, it will be peaceful..."
The words on the back of the bamboo slips were a little blurry due to the tide. The little girl read them carefully and gradually became angry.
Suddenly, a man's voice came.
"Although the world is peaceful, if you forget to fight, you will be in danger."
The little girl suddenly turned her head when she heard the voice, and her long hair flew away, revealing a pair of bright eyes.
"Jiang Ben!"
"What bad luck," Jiang Ben said, "Wei Zipei, a good dog doesn't block the road!"
