Scarlet Fang of the Pearl

"Dead man's blood?" He Shen repeated it lightly, frowning in confusion at the name.Brother Jiu is saying that the red color in this snow lotus is the blood of dead people?Is that stuff poisonous?He Shen raised his head and saw Qianlong's stunned expression. Could it be that this thing is really poisonous?

"No, this stench should be mixed with a bit of dog blood." Sorant approached the snow lotus and sniffed it, then pushed it away with disgust, as if it was something dirty.Returning to Qianlong's arms again, buried his face in Qianlong's arms and sniffed vigorously, shaking his head, left and right cheeks attached to Qianlong's chest, and wrapped his arms around Qianlong's waist.

Looking at the puzzled He Shen, he squinted his eyes and said something softly on Qianlong's shoulder. Qianlong raised his head and looked at He Shen.He Shen lowered his head alertly.

"Heshen, you go down first. Wait in the court room, I will choose you later." Although Heshen felt strange, he still respectfully withdrew.In the corridor outside the corner of Qianqing Palace, a few imperial guards were waiting there. When Xu Lin saw He Shen coming out, he rushed over, "Head, what's the matter, what does the emperor say?"

He Shen tilted his head, kept on stepping, and several people followed knowingly, and stopped when he was a little far away from the Qianqing Palace, "The emperor didn't say anything, Brother Jiu woke up, the emperor is busy right now. Look at Brother Nine. But it seems that the problem is really the snow lotus. Brother Jiu looked at the snow lotus and said "private blood" after waking up, and the emperor's expression turned dark when he heard that the thing inside the snow lotus was blood. It's ugly. Why, dead blood is poisonous?"

Xu Lin and the others were also confused, "Dead man's blood? Maybe there is some kind of corpse poison, we don't know about it. But, it should be all right now. It seems that the emperor has his own ideas. , head, you have made a great contribution this time! Let's congratulate first!"

Thinking of this, He Shen inevitably had some joy on his young face.But soon it came down, thinking of what I saw and heard in Qianqing Palace before, a trace of worry appeared on my face.

"You haven't eaten for the past three days?" He Shen left, and there were only the two of them left in the Qianqing Palace. Sorante looked at the man in front of him worriedly and dissatisfied.

It seemed that with Solante waking up, the breath of his lover became more and more obvious. Qianlong buried his head in Solante's hair, panting heavily, his eyes flashed red from time to time, as if he was pressing on something.

Solan pulled Qianlong's head, turned his neck sideways, revealing pale blood vessels, "Come on, feed you, it's one of my responsibilities." He raised the corners of his mouth, and heard the breathing in his ears panting.

Qianlong's eyes darkened for a moment. In the state of hunger, the flow of blood was very clear in his ears, and the fragrance of the little man's blood was extremely attractive to him.He closed his eyes and stopped breathing. These few days were the first time he really faced the vampire's hunger for blood. He was worried about the villain before, so he had no time to take care of it.Now that I know that the little man is fine, my heart is relieved, and my hunger is even more obvious.

Blood really has an irresistible temptation for the vampires. After receiving the hint from his lover, the delicate neck is sent to his own mouth.Qianlong already felt that his canine teeth had protruded from his lips.He pulled his body back violently, "Not now, your body is still very weak." He straightened Solante's clothes with his hands and covered his delicate neck again, "Both of us need mending. " He picked up Solante, stood up, took two steps outside, and gave instructions to Gao Wuyong who was guarding the door, "No one is allowed to come in without my permission, and let the imperial doctor stay Wait outside."

Gao Wuyong was guarding the front door, and answered, thank God, Brother Jiu woke up, and now he doesn't have to worry about it every day.

Qianlong held Solante in his arms, his eyes flickered, his figure flickered, and then he looked again, where there were still their figures in the Qianqing Palace.

A tall figure suddenly appeared in a corner of the cold palace, holding a frail and beautiful young boy in his arms.Gently put Solante under a tree, the soft lawn and the breeze could not dissipate the desire for blood.I saw that Qianlong disappeared in place for a while, and when he came back, he had already grabbed two women who had been knocked out. Judging by their clothes, they were slightly better than the palace maids, but they didn't have hair ornaments on their heads. They should be demoted in the cold palace. concubine.That's right, even though the concubine was relegated to the cold palace, she was still more delicate than ordinary court ladies.Although she is not a virgin, well, she can make up for it now, she is used to drinking Qianlong's blood, even if it is a virgin's blood, she might not be able to drink it well.

Qianlong threw the two women on the ground casually, picked one of them up to Solante, strangled his neck, and exposed the blood vessels.Unceremoniously, Solante bit the woman's neck open, and sucked in the warm blood.The vampire really has abnormal resilience. After taking a few sips, his hands were already strong, and he grabbed the woman's neck by himself.

Seeing that Suorante had gained strength, Qianlong took a rough breath, and turned his head to pick up another woman on the ground.Bite the neck roughly, the sharp canine teeth pierced the blood vessels, and the blood filled the stomach through the hollow canine teeth.

After both of them stopped, the woman who was discarded like garbage was already paler than them, and her breathing disappeared.Qianlong frowned and looked at the two shriveled corpses on the ground, and threw them directly into a nearby dry well.

Taking out a sweat towel from his pocket, he gently wiped away the remaining blood around his mouth for Solante.The lips that had just sucked blood looked extraordinarily crimson, and the thumb gently rubbed the delicate lips, curling up the corners of the mouth and couldn't help but kiss it fiercely.Strong arms tightly wrapped around the little man's waist, embracing him in his arms.

"How do you feel now? Are you still feeling uncomfortable or want to sleep?"

"It's okay. Although dead people's blood is poison to the blood race, such a little dilution in the medicated diet will only make me sleepy for a few days at most. The vitality of the blood race is very tenacious, although dead people's blood will make us unable to move. , but it can't be fatal at all. But..." Solante lowered his face seriously.

It was only at this moment that Qianlong really relaxed. In the past few days, he really realized what it means to regain what is lost.

"However, how did she know about the dead man's blood, right?" Qianlong continued, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

Later, when He Shen was summoned by Qianlong again, Qianlong had already taken people directly to Yanxi Palace, and He Shen was also directly announced there.

At this moment in Yanxi Palace, not only the Emperor Ninth Brother is here, but also the Empress Dowager and Empress.

Concubine Ling was visibly surprised when she saw Solante standing in front of her safe and sound, and then quickly put on a congratulatory smile, "Congratulations to Brother Nine for being safe and well, and recovering from illness, now the emperor can rest assured."

Solante cast a glance at her, and sneered, "My brother is safe and sound, which must be a disappointment to my concubine."

Concubine Ling's smile stiffened, a little unnaturally, "Brother Jiu was joking, it's a happy event for Brother Jiu to recover, so how could this servant be unhappy?"

"Really?" Sorant ignored this pretentious woman, and it was meaningless to argue with her.

Qianlong and his entourage directly passed Ling Fei and walked inside, Ling Fei followed behind with her head down and nervously holding her handkerchief.

"Heshen, what did you find out, bring someone in to search it yourself, whoever dares to stop it will be punished as a protest."

"Yes!" He Shen waved to the guards around him, and led them directly to search the inner hall of Yanxi Palace.

Concubine Ling saw He Shen and the others go in, her heart was beating fast, she saw the nanny standing in the corner with a nervous expression, she smiled stiffly, and stood up, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?" ? Do you suspect that it was the concubine who murdered brother Jiu? The concubine did not!"

Qianlong took a sip of tea, looked up at her, "What is Ling Fei so anxious about? You did it, you can find out after a search."

Concubine Ling opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything to refute.If it was someone else, she would be confident enough to stop the empress, concubine, elder brother, etc., but all her excuses were useless in front of Qianlong.Concubine Ling could only keep a stiff smile, but unfortunately even the queen could feel something was wrong with her face.

"Concubine Ling, is it hot? You are sweating a lot." Sorante looked at Concubine Ling innocently and strangely.

"No... Ah, yes, it's a little hot." Ling Fei raised her hand to wipe off her sweat, while smiling at Solante.

"Really?" Sorant looked at Concubine Ling strangely, with a sinister arc at the corner of his mouth, "Mr. Gao, give Ling Concubine a bowl of the snow lotus porridge I usually eat. It just happens to clear away heat and detoxify, I think Ling Empress Concubine is suffering from heat stroke in this weather, it is better to let her clear the heat."

"Ah... no need, this is a minor problem for my concubine, just order herbal tea..." Ling Fei couldn't maintain her stiff smile when she heard the word Xuelian.

"You're welcome, Mr. Gao, hurry up and use the one I usually use."

The queen mother looked strange, and was about to speak in doubt, Qianlong suppressed the doubts of the queen mother first, "Gao Wuyong go quickly."

Gao Wuyong went out, and the hall was silent for a moment, only the sound of the collision of searches inside.After a while, before He Shen and the others came out, Gao Wuyong had already returned with a bowl of fragrant porridge.The snow-white porridge has a light pink color because it is cooked with medicinal materials.

Concubine Ling looked at the porridge placed in front of her, and swallowed, "I will eat this porridge after it cools down."

"It doesn't matter, this kind of porridge should be eaten while it's hot. It shouldn't be too hot. Concubine Ling, let's eat it while it's hot." Sorant smiled sweetly, and his voice suddenly dropped, " Concubine Ling, don't waste my elder brother's heart!"

The Empress Dowager looked at Concubine Ling thoughtfully, Qianlong put down the teacup in his hand, "Concubine Ling, eat quickly."

"Your Majesty, my concubine has nothing to do now..."

"I said, let you eat it now, right in front of me!" Qianlong interrupted Lingfei's excuse, and ordered directly with a blank face.

praying mantis and titmouse

Concubine Ling picked up the snow lotus porridge that night, tremblingly brought it close to her mouth, scooped the porridge several times with the spoon in her hand but failed to put the porridge into her mouth.Looking at that pink color is like seeing something scary.

"Why doesn't your concubine eat it? Could it be that this snow lotus porridge is poisonous? That's not right. The snow lotus petals used to make this porridge come from the snow lotus that your empress sent back last time, or..." Solante chuckled casual guesswork.

Seeing the empress dowager and the empress looking over suspiciously, Lingfei hurriedly interrupted Solante, "How could that be! How could this concubine poison the Ninth Prince? The person who poisoned the Ninth Prince and my child are clearly the same person! Am I going to kill my own child?!"

Solante tilted his head, his eyes flashed a red light with unknown meaning, and he stared at Lingfei interestingly, "Yes, it is indeed the same person!" Only the middle part of Solante's words was intercepted, and Lingfei saw the expression in his eyes. The non-human red light trembled in fright and nearly knocked over the bowl in his hand.She opened her mouth in astonishment and wanted to say something, but saw that Solante had sat beside Qianlong obediently again, allowing Qianlong to feed him pastries.

Concubine Ling is so wrong and other people can naturally see doubts, but it is obvious that the emperor and the ninth prince are confident in this matter, and the empress dowager did not say anything, and everyone else watched quietly.

"Is the imperial concubine going to resist the decree?" He cast her a cold look.

Shaking his head stiffly, he stood up hastily, "The concubine doesn't dare." She turned to get the porridge at hand, but around the corner of her clothes, the bowl of pink snow lotus porridge fell to the ground with a 'slap' sound. The pink porridge also flowed all over the floor.

"Damn the concubine, it's because the concubine was in a moment of impatience, damn the concubine!" Concubine Ling fell to her knees regardless of the debris and hot porridge on the ground, and kept saying that the concubine deserved to die.

Solante squinted his eyes, this woman really has various means, so I won't repeat it this time, "The concubine Ling is still really dissatisfied with Yongyan."

"The concubine dare not, the concubine dare not." Concubine Ling raised her face aggrievedly, and timidly looked at the fragments on the ground, "How dare the concubine be dissatisfied with brother Jiu."

"Since Concubine Ling knows that she has made a mistake, she should kneel down and reflect on herself." Qianlong glanced at her in disgust, turning a blind eye to her kneeling on the debris, and did not ask anyone to clean it up.

Concubine Ling knelt on the porcelain shards, the sharp shards pierced through the flag dress and pierced into her knees and calves.Concubine Ling gritted her teeth and knelt on it, not daring to move, the blood slowly seeped out and mixed into the porridge on the ground, making it even redder.

"Emperor, it's not confirmed that the concubine Ling is guilty. Do you want to do this?" The queen mother hesitated, and gently discussed with Qianlong. The emperor seems to be very irritable today. Could it be that Yongyan discovered something after waking up?

"Emperor Niang, don't worry, your son has his own opinion, you will know in a while, what your son has done is definitely not excessive."

The Empress Dowager looked at Concubine Ling and nodded, "Well, the Ai Family believes in the Emperor. Is Yongyan okay? Has the Empress Dowager received a diagnosis and treatment? The Emperor is also true. He is not allowed to take a good rest at this time, and he is brought here with him. , if something dirty is found in a while, how can I scare Yongyan?!"

Solante 囧, we were so powerful just now, why did Mama Huang still treat me like a child!

"Emperor Mama (the resentful trembling voice), Yongyan is fine, he just slept for a few days. Also, Yongyan is no longer a child!" Holding the Queen Mother's hand and swinging it from side to side, a pair of blue eyes Looking at the queen mother watery, dissatisfied eyes like a puppy.

"Hehe, you said it's not a child. Well, okay, it's not a child, it's a puppy." The Queen Mother smiled and nodded Solante's forehead, and Solante fell into Qianlong's arms with his hands on his forehead.Then he buried his face in Qianlong's arms with a shameless face and refused to come out, "Hmph, Mama Huang is bullying Yongyan again!"

Ziwei, who was standing on the side with all the young masters in Yanxi Palace, seemed to be unable to bear it at this moment. She looked at the warmth of the emperor and empress dowager Jiu elder brother above, and at the weak and miserable concubine Ling below. Performance, a strong sense of justice occupied her mind.Jin Suola couldn't help but rushed out, knelt in front of Qianlong, and begged with tears in his eyes, "Huang Ama, the concubine and empress are all injured, it's just a bowl of porridge, how can you punish me like this indiscriminately? As for her, let her get up! Ziwei kowtows to you!" Ziwei kowtowed, and Concubine Ling was also a little moved, at least she looked at Ziwei very touched.

"Ziwei, go down, it's none of your business here." Even though he didn't like this cheap daughter, Qianlong always had a little tolerance for his children, but let her go down with a stern tone.Ziwei looked at him tearfully, which made him upset, pointed at the two maids, and pulled him down.

When Ziwei was pulled down, she still refused to leave, crying, "Huang Ama, your concubine is innocent, she is so gentle and kind, she won't harm anyone! Brother Nine, please persuade Huang Ama Ah, don't wrong the good man! Ninth elder brother!" Hearing Ziwei's cry, the two maids pulled her even harder, and they were about to drag her out.

"Innocent?" Solante glanced at Ziwei disdainfully, the face of the Holy Mother is the most annoying, "Wait a minute, let Ziwei Gege stay, innocent or not, just look at it. These two words are not With your mouth."

The court lady looked at Qianlong in embarrassment, Qianlong waved his hand, and the two let go of Ziwei.Ziwei was about to rush to Lingfei's side immediately, and just about to continue crying, Qianlong blocked her mouth with a sentence, "You can stay, but if you continue to make noise, I will let someone gag you. You are a girl, don't let yourself lose face."

Ziwei opened her mouth, her eyes shrank in fear, and finally she didn't dare to speak again, she knelt down silently, and Qianlong didn't ask her to get up.Ziwei looked at Jinsuo, Jinsuo shook his head at her, and knelt down behind her.All the little masters around looked at them as if they were watching a show, making Ziwei's face turn blue and white. She thought that she was just and worth flaunting, but she didn't expect that the people around her only thought she was a fool. The palace seemed to be completely different from what she had imagined.

After a while, He Shen came out with someone.The subordinates behind him were holding two small wooden figures in their hands. When Ling Fei saw them, her eyes were full of disbelief, but there was also a hint of happiness.

"Your Majesty, the servant found this in the concubine Ling's bedroom." He Shen put the things on the table and knelt down again.

The Empress Dowager and Qianlong each picked up one, and the silver needle and name on it made people startled.One has Yongyan's name written on it, while the other just uses a number—sixteen. The two villains are pierced with silver needles. They are tight, and the needles are a little bent. They should be used by someone. It was driven in like a piling.

"Hi, concubine Ling! You even harmed your own child!" The queen mother slapped the villain on the handle of the table and went in front of concubine Ling, "What else do you have to say now? No wonder the emperor punished you like this ! Sadly, it's still too light!"

"Your Majesty, Lafayette, my concubine has been wronged. Someone must have framed this concubine. It is impossible for this concubine to harm her own child!" Concubine Ling looked at the villain on the ground in disbelief, crying, " Now everyone in the palace knows that the emperor is investigating this matter, if it is really a concubine who is a concubine, how could he still keep these things in his bedroom? Please also ask the emperor to enlighten me, Lafayette enlightened me!" Lingfei's words were put aside Ziwei changed from shock to emotion again.

The Empress Dowager frowned and looked at Qianlong, and what Ling Fei said seemed to make sense.At this moment, another guard came out from the direction of Concubine Ling's bedroom, holding a sealed bottle in his hand, "Report to the emperor, I found a suspicious porcelain bottle in the cradle of the bedroom, it was filled with blood, and it had dried up."

Needless to say, when they first came in, Qianlong and Solante had already smelled the rancid smell, which was the blood of dead people.

"Concubine Ling, you said that someone framed you? That is someone bribed the maids around you to let them in quietly?" Solante held the wooden figure with his name written on it in his hand, and his tone was very relaxed.

"Yes, it is."

"As far as I know, the only ones around Lingfei who can often enter the dormitory to serve are the eldest palace maid Dongxue and the nanny by your side, right?"

Standing on the far side, Dongxue and Nanny's faces turned snow-white all of a sudden. They had obviously realized something, and they knelt down together, "Your Majesty, the servants definitely did not murder the little prince!"

Concubine Ling looked at them disbelievingly, "It's you? You murdered my sixteenth?!"

"Your Majesty?!" Compared to Concubine Ling, Dongxue and Nanny looked at Concubine Ling in disbelief.There was a red light in Solante's eyes.

Kneeling nurse and Dong Xue suddenly looked at Concubine Ling with hatred, "Mother, you are the one who asked Xiao Lizi to go to the Taoist temple to beg those two villains, and you are the one who wants to curse Brother Nine!"

The nanny followed Dong Xue's words and continued: "Yes, ma'am, you heard what the Taoist said, because you didn't know the birth date of the ninth elder brother, so you wanted to use your own blood to perform the spell, so you killed the sixteenth brother. Brother even let out his blood!..."

Concubine Ling's eyes widened, and the two of them kept talking about Concubine Ling's plan like pouring beans.The little Lizi beside him had already been brought over by the lock, and knelt on the side.

"Concubine Ling, what else do you have to say? I have already sent people to the Taoist temple to investigate, and the Taoist priest has explained everything clearly. Do you still want me to arrest him and confront him? I am not interested in watching you play tricks anymore. " Qianlong stared at her coldly.

"Ms. Lingfei, the blood in that bottle is the blood of Shiliu, right? It's so pitiful. With such a mother, Wu Zetian just killed his own child. You don't forget to use him even after he is dead. It really makes us Open your eyes!" Sorant threw the blood bottle on the table in front of Concubine Ling.

Concubine Ling seemed to be taken aback suddenly, and she sat down all over, "No, no! It's not me! I obviously put all those in Xianfu Palace, how could...how Will be here!"

"How could it be? Of course it will!" As soon as everyone raised their heads, Concubine Shu stood at the gate of Yanxi Palace. Concubine Ling stared wide-eyed as she slowly walked over, "It's about the innocence of this concubine. Forgive me, Queen Mother."
