Chapter 428: The Kingdom of Free and Easy Women 4
Ning Shu's scalp tingled when she thought of so many hot male concubines in the harem. In fact, Mu Nishang was a woman with strong desires.
As an empress, it was impossible for her to stay with so many handsome men.
Empress Feng Liu Changqing sent a tonic soup, and not long after, the Crown Princess Mu Xue sent someone to send something to the palace.
Ning Shu looked at the things sent by the Crown Princess. The box contained elixirs, which were the same as the mud pills. The color made her lose her appetite. Besides, elixirs were a mixture of cinnabar, sulfur, and alchemy stones. To be exaggerated, they added some young girls' aunt's blood and put them in the elixir furnace.
Can this thing cure all diseases and make people immortal?
The original owner had the habit of taking elixirs, because taking elixirs could make Mu Nishang twice as happy in bed, and over time, she couldn't live without this kind of thing.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Princess said that this time the elixir is more effective and gentler, and it can warm the body," the female official said to Ning Shu while holding the box.
Ning Shu glanced at the female official and felt that she was really talkative, as if she had been with Mu Nishang since she was a child, and was also loyal.
"Madam Qiu, please talk less in the future. It gives me a headache." Ning Shu said lightly.
Lady Qiu's face condensed, and she knelt on the ground in fear and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I will never talk too much again."
"Get up." Ning Shu said lightly, stretched out her hand and took a pill from the box, put it to the tip of her nose and smelled it. There was a smell of pine resin and sulfur. It was probably because the pine resin suppressed the smell of other things.
Thinking that there might be menstrual blood in it, Ning Shu felt a chill.
"Put the elixir in my bedroom."
Ning Shu held the cinnabar pen in his hand, staring at the memorial, and understood
a little in his heart. He was afraid that Mu Nishang did not abolish the Crown Princess just because she loved Mu Yao, but that the current Crown Princess was a little impatient and wanted to ascend the throne. How could a daughter give elixir to her mother? Anyone with a little common sense knows that this thing is not an elixir of immortality, but a life-threatening thing that drains people's energy and destroys their bodies, especially the Five Stone Powder, which is the ancient version of drugs.
It is a chronic poisoning.
Ning Shu frowned. Originally, he wanted to hand over the throne to the legitimate crown prince. Now it seems that handing the country to Mu Xue is not what the original owner wants, otherwise Mu Nishang would not take such a big risk to abolish the crown prince.
That is to say, she still has to abolish Mu Yao and re-establish the crown prince as in the plot?
Anyway, the fourth princess has no possibility of inheriting the throne, otherwise it will give the Yuan family the opportunity to control the government.
Excluding these two adult princesses, there are still two princesses in the middle, but they are not very noticeable.
Ning Shu felt a headache. She thought this task was simple before, but now it seems not simple at all.
Ning Shu closed the memorial and said to Lady Qiu: "Go and call the fourth princess to the palace. I have something to say to her."
"Yes." Lady Qiu did it immediately.
Not long after, Mu Yao hurried over, holding up her skirt and stepped over the threshold, walked into the palace, her forehead was sweaty, and it was obvious that she got off the carriage at the palace gate and ran over in a hurry.
Mu Yao saluted Ning Shu a little breathlessly, and then asked Ning Shu: "Mother, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Nothing, just someone to accompany you for dinner." Ning Shu said with a smile.
Mu Yao sighed, "Mother suddenly summoned me to the palace, and I thought something big happened."
"You are too anxious." Ning Shu said with a smile, no wonder Mu Nishang doted on Mu Yao, Mu Yao has a silly air, and she is very serious when encountering things. Everyone likes the feeling of being cared for.
From Mu Yao's actions just now, it can be seen that she cares about Mu Nishang in her heart, and she ran over as soon as she was called. Ning Shu had no ill will towards Mu Yao, and the original owner hoped that Mu Yao could be safe and happy, and Ning Shu would do his best to protect Mu Yao.
I don't know if the original owner Mu Nishang has realized that this Mu Yao is no longer her woman. The two have changed so much that it should be obvious that the original Mu Yao was irritable and cruel, lustful and lewd, and she is definitely not the Mu Yao now.
But he still protected Mu Yao openly and secretly, and even gave the country to Mu Yao, which shows that this Mu Yao has entered Mu Nishang's heart, even though he knew that this Mu Yao was suspicious.
As an emperor, Mu Nishang's heart is lonely.
Ning Shu asked Mu Yao to tell Lady Qiu what she likes and let the imperial kitchen prepare it.
Mu Yao was not polite, and ordered what she liked to eat, and also ordered what Ning Shu liked to eat.
Ning Shu watched from the side without saying anything. Mu Yao asked Ning Shu: "Mother, is this okay?"
Ning Shu nodded, "Yes."
Mu Yao immediately smiled and said to Lady Qiu: "Please trouble Lady Qiu."
"I don't dare to accept it, this is my duty." Lady Qiu said hurriedly.
Seeing that Ning Shu looked tired, Mu Yao got up from the chair, walked behind Ning Shu, stretched out her hand, put it on Ning Shu's temple and rubbed it slowly, saying: "Mother, you are too overworked. Mother, you support so many ministers. Let them do some things. You are the emperor, you should take it easy."
Ning Shu could only say that Mu Yao was silly. There are some things that only emperors can do. If ministers do it, it would be treason. Some rights must be held in one's hands.
"Mother, people should be happy. If you can enjoy happiness, then enjoy it. If you can be a parasite, then be a parasite. My son's wish is to be a parasite." Mu Yao said, her tone was sincere and cheerful. "People only have this life. Mother, you should do something that makes you happy. For example, I like to go shopping and buy things. Mother, you know there are many delicious foods in Xuancheng. The osmanthus wine of Zuixianlou is fragrant and sweet, and the sesame pancakes of Bingji are crispy and fragrant. There are also sugar figurines. Next time I go to the palace, I will bring one to you..."
Ning Shu: So sleepy...
Ning Shu listened to Mu Yao talking non-stop, like a lullaby.
During the meal, Mu Yao picked up the dishes for Ning Shu, and then ate them happily, as if these things were delicacies in the world. Mu Yao ate them very deliciously, and even Ning Shu felt that she had an appetite.
Since entering this body, Ning Shu felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, and was very weak all over. Ning Shu knew that this was because he had taken too many pills, and there was a lot of elixir poison in his body.
Moreover, Ning Shu wanted to take the elixir very much. The original owner took the elixir when she felt listless. After taking the elixir, she immediately felt cheerful and her physical strength increased. This was actually a short-term effect that confused people.
It was simply a vicious cycle.
Ning Shu did not plan to take the elixir anymore. Every time she felt upset, she would silently recite the Heart Clearing Mantra in her heart. With the effect of the calming aura, she did not feel so uncomfortable.
After dinner, Ning Shu asked Mu Yao to go back.
"Go and call the imperial physician. I am not feeling well." Ning Shu said to Lady Officer Qiu.
When Lady Officer Qiu heard that Ning Shu was not feeling well, she showed worry on her face and immediately asked someone to call the imperial physician.
