Chapter 47: A tooth for a tooth
Xiao Jiu was extremely helpless, and he was really speechless. He lowered his eyes and tugged hard at the strap around his waist. Chu Yinghan was annoyed in his heart, but he was unwilling to let go. Ponder for a moment. "Good news for you!"
Xiao Jiu was not interested. Pouted, "What other good news?"
Chu Yinghan pulled her over and sat down at the round table. "I sent someone to buy alkali stone from Nanshang, and it has been buried in the village in recent days. Each household was given a porcelain jar, and there was something to store water. There are no hidden dangers for the time being.
"So you're busy with this these days!"
"Well, why don't you go over with me tomorrow to have a look, so you can relax. Wait until you get back to the house. I'll accompany you around. You may be familiar with Jiangdu, there are many royal places around it that can only be entered, and it is very beautiful. ”
Xiao Jiu's originally bright eyes dimmed again. "It's okay if you don't go, with you to govern, the people of Pingyao Town can rest assured. ”
"Well, I promised you!"
Xiao Jiu didn't want to listen anymore, she kept forcing herself to think about her mother's sad life, her identity could not be a concubine, she didn't want to be a concubine or share it with others. Besides, now it's nothing, and it's already been poisoned.
Fortunately, she is accustomed to poison, otherwise even if she recruits a doctor at this moment, it would be useless to prescribe medicine. His eyes flashed, and he tried to suppress his reluctance. He smiled faintly and said, "Lord Wang, if you can, can you help me inquire about Tuoba Gu's location, and ask him to pick me up?"
"Why?" Chu Yinghan's face was gloomy, and his tone was cold.
Xiao Jiu raised his eyes. "I have an agreement with him, and it is a very important matter for me, if you hadn't forcibly kidnapped me here, maybe I would have learned the truth by now. ”
"What can you do if you get the truth? Xiao Jiu, you really don't want to stay with me?"
Xiao Jiu bit his lip. "I don't want to!"
Chu Yinghan's face was completely cold, and he lowered his hand and clenched his fists slightly. looked at Xiao Jiu in a daze, half loud, without saying a word. Lift your feet and go.
The eldest father-in-law waiting outside the door had been standing for a long time. A meal was arranged, and it was about to be sent to the temple. When I heard the conversation inside, I didn't dare to disturb it, so I had to stand all the time.
I never expected that the prince would come out with a black face and not say a word. But I could feel the raging fire on him. Raising her eyes and glancing at Miss Ling, she also looked lost and melancholy, and it was better to be better for a while.
The door was open, and Xiao Jiu naturally saw a row of people waiting outside the door. I don't want to bother them. Squeezed a smile. "Bring it in, just let Xiao Yuzi and Chunhua come in and wait. “
The eldest father-in-law sighed, set up the meal, and fled as if he had to leave this place of right and wrong.
When the prince went out, Chunhua and Xiao Yuzi could also see clearly that today's events were all strange. The two of them were worried, and their faces were not good.
Xiao Jiu sat at the round table, and for a while, he missed Muzi very much. When people have something, they will rely on their loved ones. The wooden people are also counted as his relatives.
Raise your eyes again. The two giggling people on weekdays also have gloomy faces at the moment. Thinking that the punishment of the prince was also because of her, I didn't feel sorry.
hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to let the prince punish you for the moon." In the future, I will double the money I will pay back to you!"
Chunhua raised her head and opened her big round eyes and said, "Girl, what are you talking about?" It is a great sin not to serve you well. Now that the prince only punishes the moon, it is already a blessing, and it is too late for us to be happy. “
Xiao Jiu was stunned, "Seeing that you are preoccupied, don't hide it from me." I kind of know the importance of silver!" I was annoyed in my heart, how could the two packets of silver that Muzi had brought with him throw away so easily.
Xiao Yuzi raised her head and said, "We are doing it for the moon to be uncomfortable." ”
"Why is that?"
Xiao Yuzi and Chunhua glanced at each other, as if they had made some major decisions, and then said lightly: "Girl, you have been talking nonsense when you fell off the horse today, and when Chunhua went to help you, you still beat and scolded." ”
After saying that, he stopped, and didn't seem to know how to say it. Chunhua was anxious, and her eyes turned red again. "Girl, you don't know, there are countless people who are worried about our prince. There are many methods in the palace, and my aunt mentioned them when I came. For example, some people engrave your birthday on wooden figures, but it doesn't take long for good people to go crazy. “
"We didn't believe it either, but you and the prince were originally good, but today they are angry. Isn't this just a trap? Not to mention the others, you have to find a ghost exorcist to see for you, so as not to hurt yourself. ”
Xiao Yuzi also nodded fiercely. "Yes, girl, it turns out that many nobles have died mysteriously like this. ”
Xiao Jiu was funny and very moved. She had only been with them for a few months, and the two of them had considered themselves their own. Look at them worried. An idea flashed through his mind, and he unconsciously learned that Chu Yinghan knocked on the table.
"It's not as amazing as you say, I'm poisoned!"
Chunhua was shocked and quickly covered her mouth. After calming down, he shouted, "Poisoning?"
"Yes!"
"How is that good? This matter must be reported to the prince. ”
"No, don't worry. I'm sure that if I don't say it immediately, I will be able to slowly remove the toxicity in a few more days. Now think about it, who is the most suspicious in this garden?"
Chunhua has always been straightforward, and her mind immediately flashed with the eyes of Chunhong that night. Lips twitched. "Is that her?"
Xiao Yuzi hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"
Xiao Jiu seemed to have sensed it, and was ready to wait for Chunhua's exit. Chunhua was a little scared, and she didn't want to believe that her friend for many years was so bold.
She has an interest in the prince, and anyone can see it. Once there is something to do for the prince, she is very attentive, although it is not out of line. I eat and sleep with her, and I won't know it.
Especially that day in the peach forest. She obviously wanted to attract the attention of the prince. Xiao Jiu saw her hesitate. simply said, "Is it Chunhong?"
Chunhua's eyes were red. "I, I don't know. But that day in the kitchen, she did say something disrespectful to the girl. ”
Xiao Jiu pondered in a low voice, that was her. "This person is unusual, such a medicine is not easy for ordinary people to get. ”
Xiao Yuzi's eyes drooped, but she was alert. "Isn't someone buying you?"
Xiao Jiu thought about it. "It's possible, one way or another. Now that we have clues, we can secretly probe them. However, this matter cannot be said to the prince again. ”
Tamako was worried. "Girl, you have just arrived at the palace, and you are not doing enough. Don't ask the prince to escort you at this moment, I'm afraid that after that"
Xiao Jiu said lightly: "This matter is only because of me, and you also know the prince's temperament." If she's willing to change, I'll give her a chance. After I leave the palace, there will be no more such things. ”
The two stopped talking, and they stayed in the house for a long time. I've been through too many deceitful things. Among these so-called nobles, there are always people who eat people and do not spit out bones. Miss Ling is still kind-hearted, but there is always something wrong with them in their hearts.
Xiao Jiuyi tried the food one by one, and said firmly: "There is no problem with the food, think about it, what is the difference between me and the garden?"
Chunhua thought for a moment. "Miss Ling doesn't like to burn incense, but this time when she returned to the garden, she was afraid of mosquitoes and insects, so she changed to a candle with mosquito repellent effect."
Xiao Yuzi was so smart that she hurriedly took a candle and came over. Xiao Jiu cut it open with a dagger and checked that there was no suspicion. He asked Xiao Yuzi to fetch the candle they used, but there was still nothing suspicious.
Xiao Jiu looked around the room and felt weird. Chunhua seems to be determined. "Why don't I go and find out?"
Xiao Jiu didn't hold back, and laughed: "You, you didn't have to sell yourself without words." ”
Chunhua glanced at him. "I'm burning my eyebrows, girl, you're still making trouble. You don't know how awesome, just in case, just in case!"
Xiao Yuzi hurriedly interrupted. "Our girl is blessed with a great fate, there is no case!"
Xiao Jiu laughed. The original sour state of mind is completely gone. I checked the furnishings of the house one by one. Only then did I see a pot of Guanyin Spring in the corner of the hall.
Then pinch out the candle powder and smell it. I immediately understood, but I still felt strange, how could a little maid understand such a method. If you are bought by a master. And who will it be.
decided to test Chunhong first, so he whispered a few words to Xiao Yuzi and Chunhua. and sealed a few acupuncture veins for Chunhua. Food. And he sent them away.
Although the prince left in a bad mood, he couldn't rest assured, so he asked the eldest father-in-law to guard it. It wasn't until the lights went out in the small nine houses that the eldest father-in-law went to report it.
"Lord Wang, Miss Ling has a very good appetite, Chunhua and Xiao Yuzi have been waiting, and they stayed inside for a few hours before they came out. He also touched the candle and Guanyin Spring that Miss Ling appreciated.
Chu Yinghan frowned. Which one is this girl going to sing again?
Chunhua listened to Xiao Jiu's arrangement, and happily hugged Guanyin Spring and put it in a conspicuous position in her and Chunhong's bedroom. Deliberately freshen up on the side.
Chunhong seemed to be in a good mood, and when she stepped into the room and saw Guanyin Spring, her face immediately changed. Chunhua saw it in her eyes and hurriedly pulled her over happily.
"Chunhong, you're back. You see this is the Guanyin Spring appreciated by Miss Ling, this flower is precious, we rarely see it. ”
Chunhong's body was a little stiff, but she still smiled. "I heard that the prince has punished you. Why did she reward such a precious flower?"
Chunhua deliberately pulled closer. "Miss Ling is good, we can't be blamed for being shocked today. So I took the flowers as a consolation!"
Chunhong really hit the trick. "You said it was a horse today. Didn't she go crazy?"
Chunhua's heart was dark. After all, they have been friends for so many years, but they never thought that she could do this. Fortunately, Miss Ling has the heart to forgive. I had to persuade her again.
"Why is Miss Ling crazy?Chunhong, have you been tired lately, if you are tired, ask Miss Ling for leave, she is kind-hearted and always considerate of us. ”
Chunhong struggled to cope with the past, took the futon and lay down with his head down. Chunhua saw that she was unmoved, and walked to the door to expand the candle flame. "Miss Ling is worried that we are also being bitten by mosquitoes. Rewarded us with candles to repel mosquitoes. I'll be on duty tonight, so you can go to sleep. ”
"What?" Chunhong jumped up from the bed as if she had been bitten by a wasp, and flipped over the lit candle flame. Slam on it. Hurriedly open the window again.
Panting and terrified. Suddenly I thought that Chunhua was here. I don't know what to say. Just take the eyes and look at her.
Chunhua's heart was slightly cold at the moment. But I don't feel like it's cut. Step on the door and go out. I feel unwilling. Turned his head and said sharply: "When the rabbit is in a hurry, there is still time to bite! Chunhong, Aunt Jiao Xi said that people like us can only be safe if we keep to ourselves!"
