"Is this her you are talking about?" As soon as King Ye Fanguo finished speaking, Tuo Jinglie stood up. He could not watch his beloved woman being chosen by another man.
Jian Xiao suddenly stood up, glanced at Tuo Jinglie, and told him not to be impulsive because the king had never looked at her from beginning to end. Even though the Yao Qin was now in front of her, the king was still facing away.
Jian Xiao followed the king's gaze from one side of her eyes. Your king stared at Concubine Yan intently, "Is this her you are talking about? She is the most beautiful woman here."
Everyone was stunned. No one expected such a result. Yan Fei was not in the mood for the banquet. She was just playing with the sachets she made. Suddenly she felt that everyone was focusing on her. She raised her head and looked at everyone at a loss.
Concubine Gong Xian smiled awkwardly, "King, please see clearly," she pointed at Jian Xiao, "This is our stunning beauty!"
The king glanced at Jian Xiao, his eyes full of disdain, "She is thin and small, not a beauty! What's the use of playing the piano? Everyone in Ye Fan country can sing, dance and play the piano, so it's useless to ask for these."
It was the first time that Jian Xiao was scolded like this, but she felt so happy to scold him. This was because beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Although in the eyes of Tuo Jinglie and Zhang Qin, she was a stunning beauty, in the eyes of this king, she was nothing.
It's not the case. Jian Xiao couldn't help but said with joy, "The king is talking about Concubine Yan?"
Only then did Concubine Yan know what had happened. She frowned with a bit of confusion and looked at the king and said, "You want me?"
The king nodded, "You and I look the same, with blue eyes and a high nose. Our bloodline is pure!"
Jian Xiao then remembered that Concubine Yan was originally a woman who came from the Western Region to get married, so she naturally looked similar to Ye Fanguo.
This is great. Concubine Yan once said that she wanted to go back to her hometown to see the moon there. In this way, not only would she be able to go home closer, but she would also be able to leave the palace. By the way, she would be saved from an urgent need. This is a great thing.
"Where are you from?" Yan Fei asked
"Ye Fanguo" the king replied
Concubine Yan looked at him, remained silent for a long time, sat down silently, lowered her head and stopped looking at him.
"My lord, do you mean what you say?" the king said, "The woman I like must be given to me!"
Gao Tianduo and Concubine Gong Xian looked at each other and smiled helplessly, "This is natural!"
The banquet broke up soon. Jian Xiao had no appetite at first. It wasn't until she realized that she had nothing to do that she hurriedly picked up some delicious dishes on the table and started eating them. The little maids had already started to clear the table. Jian Xiao stood there
When he got up and was about to leave, he found that Mei Hua gently tugged on his sleeve.
Jian Xiao looked up and found that Concubine Yan was sitting there alone, depressed and without her former spirituality.
"Sister Yan Fei, what's going on? Are you depressed?"
"Hmph, it seems that I can't escape the fate of getting married in this life!" Concubine Yan smiled bitterly, with a hint of melancholy on her fair face, "I was sent here by my family, and then picked away by others."
"Isn't Ye Fanguo very close to your home? Haven't you wanted to leave the palace for a long time?" Jian Xiao said
Yan Fei shook her head, her eyes full of confusion and loss. Although her lips were painted with a conspicuous red color, they still looked blue and her face became paler. Jian Xiao felt that something was wrong with her and hurriedly grabbed her wrist and took her pulse.
Although I am not good at studying, I still know that this pulse is rapid and stagnant, and it is extremely unstable. It is obvious that there is something strange in Yan Fei's body.
"What have you taken?" Jian Xiao asked anxiously
Concubine Yan looked at Jian Xiao with bewildered eyes, then slowly shook her head, and slowly said two words with her blue lips: "No!"
Jian Xiao found that Yan Fei's left hand was tightly clenched. She desperately opened Yan Fei's hand and found a paper bag in her palm. The paper bag had been wet. Jian Xiao opened the paper bag and saw the deep blue color inside.
It's not a color that only exists in nature. She has always known that Yan Fei likes to study strange medicines, insects, poisons and the like.
Jian Xiao's eyes widened: "Have you taken poison?"
Yan Fei's eyelids moved slowly at this time, closed them gently, her whole body swayed twice, bent down like a flower, and lay on the table
"Someone is coming!" Jian Xiao shouted hurriedly, "Someone is coming quickly! Meihua goes to see Dr. Gao."
Returning to Concubine Yan's palace, the two girls were shocked when they saw Concubine Yan like this, "Your Majesty, what's going on?"
Jian Xiao put the medicine she took from Concubine Yan on the table, "Do you know what kind of medicine this is?"
The two girls looked at each other, as if they had something to hide.
"You ladies just took this. If you can't find the antidote, what will be the consequences? You know better than us?" Jian Xiao said anxiously.
One of the girls sighed slightly and said, "This is my mother-in-law's new wife's Qi Chong San."
"Where's the antidote?"
The girl took out a small bottle from the medicine cabinet behind her, "This is it! Take it with ice water."
Jian Xiao followed the little girl's instructions to mix the antidote and asked Concubine Yan to take it quickly. Concubine Yan coughed twice, and suddenly her whole body started to tremble, foaming at the mouth, which was even worse than when Jian Xiao sent it.
Jian Xiao hurriedly shouted, "How could this happen? Is the medicine wrong?" She looked at Yan Fei's blackened nails.
"No, all the antidotes prepared by the empress are meant to cause death before rebirth, so the disease must be more serious first," the girl explained.
This Yan Fei, Jian Xiao looked at her intently. After burning the incense, the black and purple color on Yan Fei's body gradually faded away, and her face returned to its original appearance.
"Concubine Yan!" Jian Xiao gently called her name
Yan Fei opened her blue eyes and looked at Jian Xiao absentmindedly, "Why did you save me? You let me die a hundred times!"
"Why does sister say such unfavorable words?" Jian Xiao didn't know where Concubine Yan said this, "You are so unwilling to get married?"
A sad smile appeared on the corner of Yan Fei's mouth, "If you knew Ye Fanguo's rules, no one would be willing to go."
"Aren't you going to be the queen?" Jian Xiao asked
"Do you know that Ye Fanguo is short of girls and boys?" Concubine Yan asked.
Jian Xiao nodded, "I know, I've heard about it."
"Then you should know that marrying King Ye Fanguo is equivalent to marrying the entire palace! The entire country!"
"how do I say this?"
Concubine Yan sighed, "Hey, let me tell you that the princess of Ye Fanguo, that is, the women of the entire royal family, not only have to sleep with the king, but also accompany all the people. After you marry, you can only keep having children.
, until you are old and unable to have children, which is the time of your death."
Jian Xiao was shocked when she heard this. She had never known that Ye Fanguo had such strange and perverted rules. After Yan Fei married, not only Yan Fei, but also all the women who married her would live a life worse than death.
"Do you know why I would rather die than get married?" Concubine Yan said, "By saving me, you are simply pushing me into a pit of fire again!"
Jian Xiao stood up and said, "I will go find Concubine Gong Xian and Master Gao and ask them to cancel the marriage."
