Chapter 206 Xiao Luan and Lu Lingxuan informed her of the cause of death
Yeting’s life was very hard. There was endless laundry and other dirty work every day, and she was surrounded by tattered clothes and dirty smells. woman.
Like her, most of these women were the family members of the offenders who were punished and confiscated from Yeting because their fathers, brothers or husbands were convicted of crimes. Some of them were even still in their infancy, so they were sent here to work for the rest of their lives. Slave, you will never be able to stand up again.
She was pregnant when she was sent in. This child, which was completely unexpected by her, tortured her all the time. She thought that such heavy labor in Ye Ting would definitely make this child He couldn't survive, but he didn't expect that he would persevere until the last moment of his birth.
She was very weak after just giving birth, but the fat woman in Ye Ting, Mrs. Liu, did not sympathize with her because of this, and pulled her up to continue working, and her body also fell. The root of the disease.
It was such a miserable and undignified life that she stayed there for seven or eight years, thinking about how to get out of this palace wall all the time. Finally one day, she suffered an illness. At that time, I met a very gentle and amiable woman, she was Xiao Luan.
Seeing that she was pale and almost falling to the ground due to the pain, Xiao Luan rushed forward, took her pulse, then gave her acupuncture, prescribed some medicine, and had her boiled. Give her a drink.
The people in Yeting respected her very much and did not dare to say anything.
And that bowl of soup was also the first warmth she got besides her mother.
She also grasped this piece of warmth as if grasping a life-saving straw, and asked her to come and see her when she had time!
Later, she noticed a touch of love and sadness in Xiao Luan's eyes when he looked at her son. That unspoken feeling was probably the only weakness in her heart, and she caught this weakness just right, and she Her son pulled her in front of her and told her tragic life story with tears in her eyes. As expected, her half-life misfortune earned Xiao Luan's sympathy.
After that, Xiao Luan would often come to Yeting to see their mother and son. At first, she wondered why Xiao Luan could come and go in the palace unimpeded. Later, she found out that she was a doctor. , and with her talents and medical skills, she was valued by Gao Yangzhi, the Lord of Qi who had proclaimed himself emperor on Wei's behalf. Many people in the palace wanted to curry favor with her.
Of course she was one of them, but she didn't do the disgusting flattery like those stupid women. Instead, she liked her, chatted with her sincerely, and even occasionally showed her love. Intelligence, showing a kindred spirit with her.
Although Xiao Luan did not tell her about her life experience, her feelings were very keen, and she could feel her sadness from her occasionally downcast eyes.
She could see that she was a very tough woman with a bodhisattva heart, especially she felt pity for her who was also a woman.
After getting along several times, Xiao Luan trusted her more and more, and even developed a feeling of sympathy for each other. The two even talked about their ideals.
I didn’t expect that the wishes of the two of them coincided with each other. I hope that one day, women like them can freely control their own destiny, without having to become a victim of the family or a vassal of a man. You can live freely between heaven and earth according to your own abilities, and create your own world.
This ideal is very unrealistic, but it makes people excited and looks forward to the future infinitely.
Later, Xiao Luan persuaded Gao Yang to grant amnesty to the world on the grounds that the celestial phenomena warned of disaster, and she was among the people pardoned.
She finally walked out of that dirty place where the labor was overwhelming. The moment she walked out of Yeting, she burst into tears and couldn't help laughing. Then, she saw her again. The sun was shining brightly one day, and the woman bathing in the sunlight and walking towards her step by step was like a god.
She knew she was the one who saved her!
But Xiao Luan also told her that because she was the widow of the judge after all, she could not be completely free and could only be a slave. She chose to enter the Changguang Prince's Mansion to give birth to Gao, who had just been born. Wei is a wet nurse.
In Prince Changguang's Mansion, she also showed her special talents and tried her best to cater to the preferences of Gao Zhan and Prince Hu of Changguang. She soon gained the trust of these two people, and Mrs. Hu even regarded her as As a sister, she was allowed free rein and could come in and out of the mansion at will, and even bought her a house in Yecheng.
After she was freed, she first found Xiao Luan. At that time, Gao Yang had already given her a large mansion. She also started a business in Yecheng. In addition to opening a medical clinic, There is also one specially designed to take in those poor and homeless women, so that they can be self-reliant and have the ability to support themselves.
When we first met, this place similar to a house was not big and had no name. It was her sudden idea that she suggested to Xiao Luan that the house should be turned into a restaurant so that each of these women could learn something. He learned this skill and made a living in this restaurant.
Xiao Luan listened to her suggestion and named the restaurant Luan Xuan Pavilion, which was the first step towards their ideal.
What was surprising later was that the business in the restaurant actually grew bigger and bigger, attracting countless dignitaries in Beijing.
They used the money they earned to open many wine shops and tea houses in Yecheng, and also gave more and more lowly women the opportunity to be self-reliant.
But Xiao Luan did not have much time to manage these wine shops and teahouses. She would often be urgently ordered to enter the palace by His Majesty, sometimes staying for an hour or two, and occasionally she would not come back in the middle of the night.
And Xiao Luan also has a habit, that is, no matter how late she comes out of the palace, she always goes to a place. She is not allowed to have anyone follow her in that place. It is her secret.
Later she found out that she entered the palace to treat Emperor Wenxuan Gao Yang. After being the heroic emperor for several years and implementing a large number of reform policies, the founding emperor of Qi became very bloodthirsty and crazy. He kills people at every turn, and even the ministers around him are not spared.
The courtiers were very frightened, and the imperial doctors in the palace were helpless. They said that this was an incurable inner demon disease. Some even said that it was caused by evil spirits.
Xiao Luan responded to the imperial edict and entered the palace just to cure the emperor's madness. What is surprising is that as long as this medical woman is by his side, His Majesty no longer kills people crazily, and His Majesty has great respect for this doctor. The woman treated her very politely, and later he named her Doctor Guanglu.
Xiao Luan's official position is getting bigger and bigger, and he exists like a proud son of heaven. While he is enviable and desirable, he is also particularly dazzling.
She found that she had received less and less attention from her. She was even too busy to answer her words or drink a cup of tea with her.
More importantly, she hides a secret in her heart, a secret that even she is guarding against.
She asked Xiao Luan, what kind of disease is His Majesty’s disease? Is there any way to cure it?
Xiao Luan shook his head and said that the most difficult disease to be cured in the world is a disease in the heart or a mental injury. People suffering from this disease are most incapable of mental stimulation or mental injury. Under extremely stressful circumstances, self-awareness may be split, and the worst thoughts may become uncontrollable, leading to mania or maniacal killing.
She could only use medicinal fragrance to temporarily relieve His Majesty's illness and let him have a good dream every day.
But she made a lot of observations, notes and analyzes on His Majesty’s illness, and read many medical books, hoping to find a radical cure.
Lu Lingxuan also read those notes and analyses, and kept them in mind.
Since then, she has been thinking that if she can also cure His Majesty, then whether she can be like Xiao Luan and become someone respected by the powerful and even His Majesty, and can she be like her Generally, she holds a high position and becomes a female official in Qi State.
Later, she also quietly learned medical skills, learning how to recognize and prepare medicines.
When Xiao Luan wanted to go to the palace again to treat Gao Yang, she secretly changed the medicine she had dispensed and replaced it with her own.
She thought she would be fine if she followed the medicine she prepared every step of the way, but she didn't expect that that day, His Majesty would go crazy again, even more bloodthirsty and crazy than before.
Even Xiao Luan seemed to have been poisoned by him. That night, she saw her returning to the house in a trance and lost her soul, and she fell into deep self-blame.
She was very scared, afraid that Xiao Luan would be harmed, and even more afraid that her dressing change would be discovered.
Fortunately, Xiao Luan did not mention the medicine after she woke up. She continued to think of ways to cure the emperor's illness.
And she continued to secretly learn her medical skills.
Later, she had a sudden thought. Although the medicine she prepared could not cure people's diseases, it seemed to make people even more crazy. This was another achievement. At least she had developed the best medicine in the world. A poison like no other.
After that, another edict came from the palace for Xiao Luan to enter the palace. She changed Xiao Luan's medicine again, wanting to verify her results, but this time she was discovered by Xiao Luan.
After seeing her dressing process with his own eyes, Xiao Luan looked at her with very disappointed eyes.
She said: "I thought you would change it after you made a mistake, but I didn't expect... Since you want to learn medicine, just tell me. Why do you do this sneaky way of changing medicine?" Something happened!”
She apologized desperately and promised not to do it again.
But since then, Xiao Luan has alienated her, and even the restaurants and teahouses he ran in Yecheng are no longer allowed to be managed by her.
She didn’t expect that just because of one mistake, Xiao Luan would be so heartless towards her.
She took back all the kindness he had shown her, and even asked His Majesty to resign. Without saying goodbye to her, she quietly left Yecheng.
Not long after Xiao Luan left, Gao Yang died. To be precise, he died from the effect of the medicine she prepared.
The empress crown prince Gao Yin succeeded to the throne, but this cowardly prince did not sit on the dragon chair for long before Gao Yan and Gao Zhan jointly usurped the throne.
Gao Yan became the emperor, and he seemed to be a kind and good emperor. As soon as he succeeded to the throne, he freed the slaves, implemented the land equalization system, vigorously cultivated land, and built granaries. The Qi State gradually showed a prosperous situation.
She wanted to be reused by the new emperor Gao Yan, so she claimed that she had medical skills and intelligence that could rival Xiao Luan, but Gao Yan ignored her at all. Later, Gao Yan believed the rumors and thought that Jinan King Gao Yin wanted to restore his throne, so he asked Gao Guiyan to kill Gao Yin.
But from then on, he felt guilty and often had hallucinations in front of his eyes. He saw his brother Gao Yang, Prince Gao Yin, and the former prime minister Yang Min who were killed by him. Come to him.
Faced with Gao Yan's crazy words, Queen Yuanshi was helpless, so she thought of Xiao Luan and ordered her to enter the palace and ask her to take the palace guards to find Xiao Luan to treat His Majesty's illness.
She searched all over Yecheng, and later went to Jinyang and Luoyang, but she couldn't find her. But in order to give the queen an explanation, she could only lie to the queen and say that Xiao Luan didn't want to He entered the palace as an official again, but still gave her a prescription that could cure His Majesty's illness.
So, she temporarily replaced Xiao Luan's identity to treat Gao Yan, but her medical skills were definitely not as good as Xiao Luan's. In order to cover up others' eyes, she also asked the queen to invite a wizard to perform a ghost exorcism ritual. .
Naturally, none of these had any effect. Gao Yan's condition was still deteriorating extremely. At this time, Gao Zhan found her and gave her a great temptation, which was to help him After Gao Yan dies, he will become the master of the Qi country. After that, Gao Zhan will grant her the glory and wealth she wants.
The temptation was so great for her that she agreed without hesitation. Then she secretly gave Gao Yan the medicine she used to use to speed up the deterioration of his condition. Sure enough, Under the influence of her drug, Gao Yan became more depressed and crazy, and died of illness not long after falling off a horse.
Gao Zhan became the emperor as he wished, granted her the title of county monarch, and even granted her the privilege of participating in political affairs.
But there must be an explanation for Gao Yan's death, so she traced the reason for Gao Yan's worsening condition to the prescription given by Xiao Luan. The Queen Mother was furious, and Gao Zhan sent out the imperial guards again. Go find Xiao Luan.
The search this time was large-scale. After three months of searching, she found Xiao Luan who was living in seclusion in a small mountain village in Luoyang.
It was at this time that she learned that Xiao Luan had a daughter. It turned out that all the efforts she had made before were to protect her daughter, including the tribe around her. All her assets, including restaurants and tea shops, were left to her daughter.
And she, Lu Lingxuan, was just a pawn being used from beginning to end!
The most painful feeling is when you suddenly learn that you have been deceived by the person you cherish and appreciate the most.
Xiao Luan learned that the newly enthroned His Majesty Gao Zhan wanted her life, so he came to see her alone.
The first time he saw her, she smiled and said, "I know what you want, and I can give it to you. Ah Xuan, for the sake of saving you from Yeting, let me go." My daughter."
"Let her go back to Nanchen and meet her father!"
Her smile is very sad, but very contagious.
At that moment she was stunned.
Xiao Luan handed over all the assets left in Yecheng to her, and then drank a bottle of medicine.
At first she didn't even know it was poison, because she was so calm and talked about dying as if it was a long journey.
Then she looked at her and smiled calmly: "I will die in an hour. Please, don't let these guardsmen come in and disturb my last reunion with my daughter!"
"I also beg you, don't let my daughter fall into the hands of the Gao family!"
Her last look was pleading and decisive. She turned and left without even mentioning her feelings for her. go.
......
Hearing this, Xiao Jinyu's heart surged and she was filled with anger.
"It turns out that you have controlled the fate of two emperors in the Gao family, and yet you can still find excuses to shirk responsibility for yourself in such a high-sounding way."
At that moment, Xiao Luan gave him a gift in advance. His daughter celebrated her birthday and then asked Fenghuang to take Xiao Jinyu away.
“I gave her an hour, but I didn’t expect that even in the end, she would lie to me. Within this hour, she arranged an escape route for her daughter and sent out all the troops. "I don't know what she gave her daughter, but I think what she gave me must be far less than what her daughter gave her!" Eleven.”
Xiao Jinyu couldn't help but said angrily: "So, you broke your promise to her and immediately sent people to hunt down her daughter?"
Lu Lingxuan sneered, looked at Gao Changgong and said : "The Gao family has done more than me to break their promise. Gao Yan promised not to kill Gao Yang's son Gao Yin, but he ended up killing him. Gao Zhan also promised not to kill Gao Yan's son Gao Baibai, but then. Not long after she took over, she beat Gao Baibai to death.
But I just wanted to catch her daughter and get what I wanted!"
"And I also wanted to. Give her daughter a stick of incense to escape, otherwise, how could she escape from the villa surrounded by the imperial guards? "
At this time, even Xie Yuxuan said angrily: " You woman, you are so cruel and unintentional!”
“Yes, if I had the intention, how could I live till now?” After giggling for a while, she changed the subject sadly, “ But the only time I was really interested was with Xiao Luan. I never thought about killing her, I just wanted to bring her to Yecheng. Then I would plead with His Majesty and pardon her sins, or let her fake her death!
She can live with me forever!”
“But she doesn’t want to live because of her own guilt!”
“Because of her own guilt?”
Lu Lingxuan laughed again.
"Yes! There is a tiger in the mountains, should we save it or not?"
"As a doctor, Xiao Luan, with the belief of never giving up on every patient, chose to save Gao Yang, but it led to Many innocent people died tragically, and later she chose not to save Gao Yan, which led to Gao Yan's death. The country of Qi once again fell into a state of chaos and chaos, and the people were in dire straits."
"Because of Emperor Wenxuan's actions. Gao Yang's guilt, because of the guilt for the nobles of the Yuan family who were killed by Gao Yang, and even the guilt of turning a blind eye to Gao Yan's illness, she attributed the cause of the deaths of many people to herself, so in the end... She doesn't even want to live!"
Seeing the sadness and rolling glint in Xiao Jinyu's eyes, Gao Changgong couldn't help but shouted: "Nonsense, this is just your guess!"
Lu Lingxuan smiled and said: "These are also the last words she left for me!"
Gao Changgong clenched his hand tightly, but could not utter a word of rebuttal. He just stretched out his hand to hold Xiao Jinyu's tenderness. However, considering that Lu Lingxuan was here, he finally suppressed the impulse in his heart.
At this time, Lu Lingxuan looked at "Xie Zhen" thoughtfully, suddenly looked at Gao Changgong and said: "I have finished telling the story. I also told you the real reason for Xiao Luan's death. Now, please Xie Zhen and Princess Lanling go out first. I just want to say a few words to Prince Lanling. "
"You have something to say to me?" Gao Changgong said in surprise.
"Yes! And I can only tell you!"
Xiao Jinyu glanced at Gao Changgong, nodded, and walked out of the Dali Temple Prison together with Xie Yuxuan.
After the two of them disappeared at the end of the corridor, Lu Lingxuan looked at Gao Changgong and said with a smile: "Prince Lanling, is this Xie Zhen your princess, right?"
Gao Changgong immediately tensed up, his eyes were extremely sharp and sharp. He looked at Lu Lingxuan warily.
“Don’t worry, now that I’m in this situation, I can’t do anything to you anymore?”
“But, Gao Changgong, do you really think Xiao Jinyu can stay with you for a long time? "?"
"Are you taking the same path?"
"What you want to protect is your Gao family's world, and will she be willing to protect it?" The Gao dynasty with its many evil kings? "
"If one day, she wants to destroy your Gao family, what will you do?"
"Or, what should I say about her identity? Exposed, the civil and military swords of the whole court are pointed at her, asking you to make a choice, what should you do? "
"Do you know why she has not had an heir after being with you for so long?"
Yesterday, I was very grateful to Yanzhihu 1, Zizhuha, and Huohuohuoyi for their monthly tickets. Thank you for your support! Happy National Day
