Chapter 351 Approaching the Truth
Jing Chongyi shook her head with a wry smile: "You don't have to comfort me. If you can say it, you have already said it."
Mo Ziyao understands that Jing Chongyi is not a fool and should understand the difficulties. Therefore, she would rather not say anything and force herself to embark on this desperate road.
Even if she died with Xuefei, she would not hesitate.
He still wanted to open his mouth, but Jing Chongyi said first, "Don't interfere in this matter. Don't interfere. Anyway, I won't live long."
Her words shocked Mo Ziyao and said urgently, "What did Sister Jing say?" The emperor hasn't been convicted yet. What does it mean that he has not lived long? Thinking about it, I became nervous for no reason.
Jing Chongyi shook her head: "Your concubine just said that my nails are beautiful. Does this color look good? However, after washing this layer of pink, there is a frightening paleness underneath. I just said that because of the poor resistance of the abortion, I was depressed and accidentally infected with wind chills. After a long time of treatment, it turned into tuberculosis. That's why I can't help coughing. Look at it."
With that, she took out a veil from her sleeve, slowly spread it in the palm of her hand, and stretched out in front of Mo Ziyao.
What pattern was embroidered on the light pink veil? Mo Ziyao didn't see it clearly, but was stunned by the dark red blood stains on it. He looked up at her and said in shock, "How could this happen?"
I don't know when dense sweat oozed out on Jing Chongyi's forehead. She smiled palely: "I'm terminally ill. I am very satisfied to avenge my child in my lifetime. When she said this, her tone was full of relief.
Mo Ziyao felt a pain in her heart and couldn't help saying, "How could it be... that imperial doctor..." Every once in a while, there would be a imperial doctor to ask for a safe pulse. How could no one know that she had been ill for a long time?
Jing Chongyi looked up at Mo Ziyao and gasped and laughed, "The Noble Concubine hasn't been in this deep palace for a day or two. Why are you confused today? How can my concubine dare to stretch out if she has this disease? I just said that this matter should not be spread outside. I'm afraid that the imperial doctor will be happy to avoid being pointed out by the emperor or the empress dowager to see a doctor, that's wrong.
When she fell ill, Mo Ziyao stood up and wanted to call people in, but Jing Chongyi grabbed her wrist and shook her head gently with a pleading face, "Your concubine, don't call anyone. Even if a doctor is willing to come to see me, it is useless. Don't worry, I can still live for a while.
Mo Ziyao was silent, and people who had been suffering from tuberculosis were isolated and allowed to die. Just because this disease is contagious, and the imperial doctors are helpless about it. In the palace, it is even more unlucky. If it is known, it will be locked in a place and no one will be allowed to approach until death, and the house will be burned to prevent it from spreading.
And Jing Chongyi has this disease, which means that her life has entered the countdown. If she is known by the emperor or the empress dowager, I'm afraid she can only wait to die quietly.
Mo Ziyao couldn't help but suddenly. No wonder, when she came out of the cold palace to see her every three months, she felt as if she had entered the cold palace once, not herself, but like Jing Chongyi.
However, people with this disease have symptoms of coughing in the early stage due to internal organ damage, which is similar to wind chill, but in the later stage, they will not only cough, but also hemoptysis and even dyspnea.
Some people say that people have strong endurance and can resist everything, but a small cough can't be suppressed. But why didn't Jing Chongyi cough beforehand? It can be seen that she has bleed. It should not be pretending. Besides, it doesn't make sense to pretend.
was wondering, but when she saw Jing Chongyi pulling up the sleeve of her left hand tremblingly, Mo Ziyao looked down. The scar scratched by the saw had been scabbed, and obviously it was not what she wanted to show herself. The sleeves continued to pull up, and three brues suddenly appeared on the slender arm, at the bend of the arm. Looking carefully, I found that it was actually three needle eyes, and on it, three silver needles were stuck in the meridians, only half an inch long. If you don't look carefully, you really can't see it. It seems that the needle has been stuck there for a long time.
Mo Ziyao was stunned and didn't understand why there was a silver needle in her arm.
Looking at Jing Chongyi, but saw an unnatural flush suddenly appeared on her face, as if she was about to lift her breath. She gasped violently and clenched her teeth and said in a hateful voice, "Cough, I... won't die... because... I haven't seen Xuefei die yet."
Then, I suddenly saw her reach out and pull out the silver needle on her arm. After putting down her sleeves, she opened her clothes, ** her upper body in front of Mo Ziyao, and then lowered her head to look at her chest.
Mo Ziyao saw that her skin was very white and her body was well-proportioned, but there was also an obvious bruise on her chest that destroyed this beauty. Looking closely, you can see that there are actually many dense small needle holes on the bruises.
At this time, Jing Chongyi trembled all over and sweated on her forehead, but she didn't care about this, but picked up a silver needle and stroked her chest in Mo Ziyao's surprised eyes, as if she was going to plunge into it. She paused for a moment and suddenly looked up to Mo Ziyao and said, "Your concubine wants to...please, can you help me bring the oil lamp on the table?"
Mo Ziyao was stunned for a moment. Although she was shocked that Jing Chongyi knew how to practice medicine to save herself, she did not dare to delay and hesitated to turn around to help her bring the oil lamp. Then she quickly put the silver needle on the core and burned it, then gritted her teeth, tried to take a breath, wait for her breathing to be a little more stable, and then prick the long needle in her hand tightly. The silver needle penetrated deeply, with only an inch of length left. She took the other two with her backhand and plunged into it skillfully and accurately. Until, all three silver needles are inserted. On her chest, her breathing slowly subsided.
At this time, she was already sweating on the ground and didn't even have the strength to wear clothes. Mo Ziyao helped her pull up her clothes and handed her a veil, but she shook her head and declined.
Maybe she was too tired. Jing Chongyi had closed her eyes. Mo Ziyao sighed and raised her handkerchief to help wipe the sweat on her forehead.
Jing Chongyi has never opened her eyes. He just said weakly, "I use this method to temporarily relieve the pain and paralyze the nerves. When time passes, I have to apply the needle again. However, there should be no next time..."
Mo Ziyao looked at her, grasped her hand tightly, and said complicatedly, "Thank you this time."
She understood that Jing Chongyi didn't have to stand up at all, and there was no need to cover up the earrings for herself, but she did it.
Jing Chongyi seemed to see Mo Ziyao's mind and said lightly, "You don't have to feel guilty. If I don't get sick, maybe I won't stand up and speak for you this time. You also know, what can be said right or wrong in the harem? Only win or lose."
In this way, although I lost my warmth, I don't know why it made Mo Ziyao's heart cheerful.
There is no right or wrong, only winning or losing. That's a good sentence. Gongdou, isn't that what it is?
"Xuefei will die this time, right?" Jing Chongyi suddenly opened her eyes and asked.
Mo Ziyao was stunned for a moment. This was the second time she asked herself. Although Xuefei made a big mistake this time, the empress dowager also wanted to let her die, the person who finally decided her life and death was not the empress dowager, but Ruan Lingzheng.
And Ruan Lingzheng is deeply affectionate with her. Even if he sees through what she is now, it is difficult to make up his mind to kill her.
Seeing that Mo Ziyao did not answer, Jing Chongyi smiled sadly and suddenly said strangely, "Oh, it doesn't matter. Even if she can't die this time, she can't survive after all. At that time, the whole Ruan Nanguo will be gone. How can she live?
Mo Ziyao frowned and looked at the woman in front of her. Suddenly, she felt like a different person for a moment. I can't help thinking of the scene where I saw her and Fu Mo Zheyu, the emperor of the mud, in Meilin, and the incident of sending cakes to emperors of various countries and Ruan Lingheng.
Listening to her amazing words that Ruan Nanguo would be gone, I felt more and more that her identity was suspicious.
Sure enough, seeing her meditate for a while, she said in a low voice, "Now, maybe something should be said."
Mo Ziyao knew that Jing Chongyi might know some secrets, and she always felt that her next words would definitely surprise her.
Seeing her crossing her fingers and looking at those beautiful nails, she seemed to fall into memories. Mo Ziyao did not choose to urge. Although she was eager to know what she would tell herself, she just waited patiently.
For a long time, Jing Chongyi sighed slightly and said, "Actually, I'm not the daughter of Zhu Tingwei, but just dropped my bag and sneaked into the palace of Ruan Nanguo. As for why I sneak in, on the one hand, I have to avoid the pursuit of my enemies and have no choice but to do it. On the other hand, he was ordered to enter the palace to approach the emperor, inquire about the national conditions of Ruan Nanguo, and monitor a person.
As she spoke, she suddenly looked directly at Mo Ziyao, smiled on her lips, and said slowly, "Actually, I come from the Northern Song Dynasty, which is what you call the Celestial Empire. On New Year's Eve, a messenger was sent to the Heavenly Dynasty, and this messenger was the 18th prince of the Northern Song Dynasty. And this eighteenth prince is also the person I want to monitor.
Mo Ziyao's heart seemed to reveal half a beat. For some reason, when she heard Jing Chongyi talk about the eighteenth prince of the Northern Song Dynasty, she suddenly thought of Ruan Lingheng.
She has been guessing his true identity before. Until now, after listening to Jing Chongyi's words, she seems to be more and more sure. Ruan Lingheng or Gu Moli is actually the 18th prince of the Northern Song Dynasty. Otherwise, she couldn't figure out why the late emperor suddenly changed the edict, and the reason why Ruan Lingzheng and the Empress Dowager were so taboo on him should be because of his identity.
They should just guess and are not sure, but they don't dare to provoke. Otherwise, why do they just forbear whatever Ruan Lingheng did to Ruan Nanguo? After all, the prosperous Northern Song Dynasty is no different from heaven for Ruanna, a small country.
So, their attitude towards Ruan Lingheng is both hate and fearful, right?
