Zhong Lan is the holy girl of their Xi tribe, and the supreme treasure of the Xi tribe, the Buddha Gu, recognizes her as its master. Although the Buddha Gu cannot bring the dead back to life, it can hang the lives of dying people and extend their lives for a month.
.
Zhong Lan is also the niece of the old man Zhong Hongmeng. In addition to Zhong Lan, he also has another niece, Zhong Zi. Zhong Zi and Zhong Lan are twins. However, during the selection when they were young, Zhong Lan was recognized by the Buddha and his appearance became more and more complex.
Li Zhongzi's appearance was disfigured because she was bitten by a poisonous insect. Over the years, the Xi people thought she had a good appearance, so it was a pity that she was disfigured like this. They found a lot of medicinal materials for her. Unfortunately, they racked their brains and tried every means.
None of them could restore her original appearance. Because of her abominable face, Zhong Zi rarely appeared in front of people and was gradually forgotten by everyone.
Zhong Hongmeng and the others had not originally thought of sacrificing Zhong Lan. After all, Zhong Lan was also a saint of the clan, and she also possessed Buddha Gu. The clansmen worshiped her very much. But seeing the Daxia people down the mountain, life was getting better and better. Not only did they wear
They had new clothes, could afford to eat meat during the holidays, and built new houses. The Xi people suddenly couldn't sit still.
In order to exchange salt with Daxia, they had to pick a lot of medicinal materials. As an elder, his treatment was naturally better than that of ordinary Xi people, but compared with the wealthy Daxia people, he fell behind.
Zhong Hongmeng returned to his room and picked up a transparent cup, his eyes showing a bit of obsession.
Such cups can be bought by the wealthy people in Daxia. It is said that the powerful people in the capital can even install such glass on their windows. Because he has never seen it with his own eyes, he simply cannot imagine such a luxurious life. He
I just know that I can't sit still and wait for death. Otherwise, as a dignified elder of the Xi tribe, his life is not as good as that of ordinary rich people in Daxia, so what's the point of it?
He said: "Go and ask the saint to come over."
Soon, the stunningly beautiful girl Pingping Tingting came over. She even had a vague fragrance on her body.
"Uncle." Her voice was as touching as an oriole.
Zhong Hongmeng came back to his senses and suppressed the surprise in his eyes, "Lan'er, with your appearance, it can be said that you are being wronged by staying in our Xi tribe."
Zhong Lan couldn't help but feel uneasy, and said with a forced smile: "I'm not wronged, everyone treats me very well." As a saint, the Xi people have never treated her badly.
Zhong Hongmeng said: "That's because you haven't seen real life. Compared with the people in Daxia, the life we live is worse than a pig."
"Can you bear the thought of our tribe continuing to waste time and lead a miserable life?"
Zhong Lan fell silent and asked, "What can I do?"
Zhong Hongmeng said: "You are a natural medicine guide, and with such an appearance, you will definitely be able to marry the nobles of Daxia." Originally, they were thinking that if something happened to their elders in the future, Lan'er might need to be a medicine guide.
, so I kept it hidden. But now the elders like Zhong Hongmeng have changed their minds. The glory and wealth in front of them is still the most important.
Zhong Lan said: "I know."
Zhong Hongmeng showed a satisfied expression, "I knew you were a good boy. You have always been very sensible."
When Zhong Lan left his uncle's side, his face turned pale.
She sat on a chair in her room and told the maid, "Go and ask your sister to come over."
Soon, a girl wearing a black robe and a black gauze arrived. Her cold hand held her twin sister's hand and asked: "What happened?"
Zhong Lan said softly: "Sister, I may not stay in the Xi clan in the future. When the time comes, you can leave the Xi clan with my convoy, no matter where you go."
My sister is not only good at poisoning, but also has good medical skills. Without her being a drag, she can survive anywhere.
If she is gone, the people in the clan may not be able to tolerate her sister. If she is not saved, she will be sacrificed as an abandoned child. As a so-called saint, she can be sacrificed easily, not to mention that she has no use value in their eyes.
Where's my sister?
She had felt sorry for her sister before, but this time she had to do anything to let her sister gain true freedom. Her sister had stayed in the Xi tribe just because of her.
Zhong Zi's eyes darkened and she said, "If you want to leave, let's go together."
She couldn't leave her sister alone.
I originally thought that after giving away the white snow toad, Lan'er's status in the clan would become more stable, but unexpectedly the elders continued to have Lan'er's ideas.
Zhong Zi thought of that handsome man. Even if he knew the existence of the Snow Toad, he was not greedy. If she brought out more poisons and poisons to make a deal with him, I wonder if he would be willing to protect his sister.
With his demeanor and appearance, and carrying a weapon that can cut iron like clay, he must have an unusual identity.
…
Every year at the New Year's banquet, the royal family would entertain officials of fourth rank or above in the capital.
Su Yueling's identity was there, and she would not miss such an occasion every year. This year, Baoshu did not attend the banquet in the name of keeping filial piety for Shen Jinlan. Su Yueling just brought Yuan Baoyi and Yang Chunxi into the palace. Yang Chunxi came to the palace in December
She gave birth to her eldest son and is now in her confinement period. She has taken good care of herself during confinement, and now she looks a little plumper than before, with a good complexion. Yang Chunxi and Bao Yi have a lot in common because they both run shops.
topic.
As for the female relatives of the harem, only concubines and above will attend.
Su Yueling did not see Hui's concubine Zhu Ya'er. She only knew that she had been in frail health since her miscarriage and rarely appeared in front of others. Empress Gu even skipped greeting her.
As for De Fei, she looks a bit older. It's obvious that it's been more than half a year and she hasn't fully adjusted yet. Even with layers of powder on her face, she can still vaguely look haggard. This shows that the medicine really hurts the mother's body.
.Concubine De was like this, and the other Luo Cai who had taken this medicine was probably not much better.
Xie Yunzi's hand is really poisonous.
However, there were no reports of pregnancy in the palace during this period. The emperor should have brought the matter under control.
Su Yueling's eyes unconsciously fell on Xie Yunzi. Compared with other concubines who were dressed gracefully and gorgeously, Xie Yunzi looked much more elegant. She was wearing a cyan skirt with some bamboo embroidery on it, and there was no too complicated embroidery.
Wen. She sits there quietly, with a very low sense of presence, which is different from other concubines.
This New Year's Eve banquet passed peacefully without any drama about the concubine's pregnancy as before.
The emperor gave special grace. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the ladies in charge in the palace could summon their natal families.
When Xie Yunzi's stepmother entered the palace, she brought a girl with extraordinary beauty and exotic style.
