In the past few days, because Huang Chenling was clamoring to lose weight, Dr. Li prescribed a series of vegetarian meals to adjust her body shape.
Yan Ruocheng took the time to come over at noon, and happened to be eating while he was eating. He stared at him and kept eating only vegetables, and couldn't help but said: "You have been eating vegetarian dishes for a few days, so you should eat some meat to replenish your strength."
"If I don't lose this annoying belly for a day, I will always eat vegetarian food. Don't you always eat vegetarian food? Why do you keep talking when it's my turn to eat vegetarian food?" Huang Chenling said in annoyance.
"How are these the same? I am a habitual vegetarian, but you suddenly changed to vegetarian for the sake of losing weight. Anyway, there is a saying that things will turn to their extremes. I think the more eager you are to eat, the less likely you will achieve any big results.
." Yan Ruocheng said.
"Then wait until you are at your peak before saying this to me. After I finish eating, you can accompany me to pay homage to my mother. Today is her birthday." Huang Chenling said as she ate.
.
When Yan Ruozhen heard his invitation, he was suddenly stunned and didn't say a word.
"What's wrong? Don't you want to?" Huang Chenling saw her straight eyes and asked.
Yan Ruozhen took the liberty to hold his hand and said softly and tenderly: "This is the first time in so many years that you are willing to take me to worship your queen mother."
Huang Chenling said speechlessly: "You have forgotten that I wanted to take you with me before, but something happened that hindered us. It was only now that we had the opportunity to be together. You should cherish it."
Yan Ruozhen said with a smile: "Shouldn't you cherish it?"
"Hmph, are you too proud of your status? It seems that I, the emperor, have been looked down upon by you." Huang Chenling took the chopsticks, put a piece of radish in front of her mouth.
Yan Ruocheng took a bite of the radish and said, "Well, the radish brought by the emperor is particularly fresh and sweet."
"You have such a mouth. It seems that Xiaoling has learned a lot from you, and sometimes she talks awkwardly." Huang Chenling said.
"A raised mouth? Didn't I learn it from you? I was so angry with him just the day before yesterday that I couldn't swallow my food," Yan Ruocheng said.
"What made you angry?" Huang Chenling asked.
"It's nothing, it's just a trivial matter. Anyway, he attacks people very quickly. It's just like when you were young." Yan Ruocheng said.
"Hey, am I very old now? I can't even eat when you say that." Huang Chenling said boringly.
"Let me use a metaphor. Have you ever felt that Xiao Ling seems to have some secrets recently?" Yan Ruocheng said suspiciously.
"Secretly, I also think he is a little weird. It seems that last time after you and the emperor left the palace, the mysterious woman came to my bedroom again, and I almost saw her appearance. After that, Xiao Ling was missing
Come to me. I also want to ask you if you are busy with anything." Huang Chenling thought for a moment and said.
"Do you think it has something to do with that mysterious woman?" Yan Ruocheng said.
"It's possible." Huang Chenling nodded.
Yan Ruozhen and Huang Chenling looked at each other in tacit understanding and had already thought of the same thing. They wanted to follow Xiao Ling together another day.
After lunch, Huang Chenling and Yan Ruocheng set off in a carriage, heading towards the back mountain of the North Hall.
Yan Ruocheng was curious and wanted to take a look, but was stopped by Huang Chenling.
He said: "Sit tight and don't poke your head out."
"Why? Can't you take a look at the scenery? I have never been to the back mountain here, and I don't know that the North Hall is so close to the back mountain." Yan Ruocheng asked doubtfully.
"Strictly speaking, this back mountain is not outside the palace. It is also surrounded and guarded by soldiers. It's not surprising that you, a coward, have never been here. This back mountain is also called the Mountain of the Dead, and it is surrounded by
Plants with deadly poisons are planted, so we don't let the probe go out for fear of being hit by those poisonous trees." Huang Chenling slowly explained.
"I've never heard you say that before?" Yan Ruocheng said.
"Of course I won't tell you. If I told you, wouldn't you just go and collect herbs secretly? Isn't it your interest to collect poisonous plants?" Huang Chenling said.
"Didn't you tell me now?" Yan Ruocheng said in a vomiting voice. She felt that it was unnecessary.
"Now that you have Xiaoling, you won't wander around. It doesn't hurt to tell you." Huang Chenling said with a smile.
The carriage came to a long stone staircase and they got off the carriage.
The surrounding plants are not green, but purple and black with thorns, spreading on the fences on both sides of the stone staircase. They also emit a strong sour smell.
"What kind of plant is this? It doesn't look like the purple-leafed barberry." Yan Ruocheng became curious and couldn't help but want to lean over to take a closer look.
Huang Chenling quickly grabbed her and said: "What I said on the carriage just now, did you ignore it? They said they are highly poisonous plants, don't get close to them. No matter what they are called. Go, don't look at them. Follow them.
Behind me."
The stone staircase was very long, but not too narrow, but two people could not walk side by side. Huang Chenling walked in front, Yan Ruocheng walked in the back, and followed by a line of guards who took the sacrifices.
The mountain is quite high, and it took me a full stick of incense to reach a flat spot on the mountain.
The tomb is here. The guards went over to clean it and put the offerings in place. Then they avoided it first.
Huang Chenling took Yan Ruocheng over and knelt down.
"Mother, I brought someone to see you." Huang Chenling said to the tombstone.
"Hello, Concubine Cong." Yan Ruocheng said awkwardly, but nothing more continued.
Huang Chenling turned to her and asked, "Why don't you introduce yourself? Just say hello."
Yan Ruozhen pulled Huang Chenling's ear and said, "How should I introduce myself? Do I have to tell her that I am Feng Mo's wife and I am here to visit her with you, my brother-in-law?"
"Just say it. Just keep it a secret. I'll tell you." Huang Chenling knocked her on the head.
"Mother, don't be offended. She is not my wife yet, but she will be sooner or later. Her name is Ruocheng. She is good at medicine and quarreling. She is bad, selfish, arrogant, and behaves randomly. As an emperor, I will be criticized sometimes.
She is the bully. Although she has many shortcomings, too many to count, she is kind-hearted and I like her very much. Please protect her well."
Yan Ruocheng felt funny and angry when she heard him talking about her like this.
A small purple snake slowly and unnoticedly approached Huang Chenling.
A gust of strange wind caused Yan Ruocheng to duck his head and directly saw this little purple snake.
Her intuition told her that this was a small venomous snake, and a highly venomous one.
The poisonous snake was very close to Huang Chenling's feet. If he acted rashly, the little poisonous snake would wrap around his legs. What should he do?
I didn't have any medicine on me, and there were no tools around, so I just had to grab it with my bare hands.
She took out her long hairpin, aimed at the little snake's tail, and threw it at it. Then she quickly tore off Huang Chenling's feet. The little snake panicked, but crawled towards them.
Yan Ruocheng was so frightened that she quickly pushed Huang Chenling away with her palm. Huang Chenling was pushed inexplicably by her, and she didn't know what happened.
There was a danger, and the little snake crawled back into the grass. Yan Ruocheng patted her heart, almost frightened her to death. It was so thrilling just now.
"What the hell are you doing? Look what you did?" Huang Chenling pointed angrily at the knocked over offerings on the ground and said. Just now, even the offerings were kicked over by her random pulling.
.
"There was a poisonous snake just now, couldn't you see it?" Yan Ruocheng explained.
"I didn't see it. Are you okay?" Huang Chenling went over to see if she was injured.
"It's okay. Are you okay too? Let me take a look." Yan Ruocheng also checked his hands and feet.
I saw a slight scratch on his hand, and he said nervously: "Oh no, your hand is scratched, maybe it was scratched by the leaves of these poisonous plants."
It was just a very small scratch, and Huang Chenling didn't think it was a big problem. However, Yan Ruocheng was extremely nervous.
Before he could say a word, she hurriedly called the guards over and carried him away immediately. She had to rush back to the Imperial Physician's Hall as fast as possible.
Before leaving, Huang Chenling silently looked at her mother's tomb again, as if what she had just prayed for had come true. Maybe her mother had given her a helping hand in heaven.
He just prayed: Queen mother, please protect me. I hope Ruozhen can be more nervous about me. Even if it is a small injury, she must be particularly considerate. I want to occupy the largest position in her heart.
In the Imperial Physician's Hall, Yan Ruocheng anxiously asked the guards to rush in with Huang Chenling on their backs.
"Li Yuyi, something serious has happened! Your Majesty, his hands are poisoned. I don't know what kind of plant poison it is?" She hurriedly asked Doctor Li to come over and take a look.
"Your Majesty, let me see the injury quickly." Dr. Li was frightened by her and came over in a panic and said.
Huang Chenling slowly opened her palm and showed him the small scratch.
"Eh? This injury is not poisonous." Dr. Li said relaxedly.
"Li Imperial Physician, please take a closer look. We were on the mountain behind the North Hall, and someone was scratched by a poisonous plant. Maybe the poison had already entered his body without being discovered." Yan Ruocheng used his powers.
imagination said.
"Although the plants in the back hill of the North Hall are poisonous, they are not very poisonous. Who told you?" Dr. Li asked doubtfully.
Yan Ruocheng was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Huang Chenling, who was already snickering.
"Hahahahaha, it's so funny. I haven't teased you like this for a long time. Hahaha, you actually believe it." Huang Chenling couldn't stop laughing.
Yan Ruocheng was so angry that she was worried for nothing.
"It's so funny, just take your time and laugh enough. I'm going back to the palace first." She said angrily, then turned and left.
"Hey, don't go. It's just that I haven't made a joke in a long time. I want to play with you. However, I was really bitten by something just now." Huang Chenling said in a different tone.
"Scared? Where are you? Just now I saw that your hands and feet had no wounds." Yan Ruocheng became nervous again.
Huang Chenling opened the collar, and there was indeed a small wound. It looked like it had been bitten by something, and it was blue and black.
"Your Majesty, let me take a look. Oops! This wound is poisonous." Dr. Li quickly helped him treat the small wound. Since he was not sure what had bitten him, he gave him the Ten Thousand Poison Antidote Pill, and then
Had some acupuncture.
After that, Yan Ruocheng was worried, so he stayed by Huang Chenling's side all day long.
