Chapter 85: Poison (1)
Mu Yun was puzzled: "Why should we help the Lan family?" If she gains power in the future. Don't we have another enemy? ”
"The Lan family is just a little clever, and compared to the Zhou family's scheming, the Lan family is not worried at all. However, as long as the Lan family is in the Li Mansion for a day, it is a piece of the Zhou family's heart. Li Weicheng loves the Lan family and son, there will always be a confrontation between them and the Zhou family, what's wrong with us taking advantage of the fisherman? ”
Mu Yun said: "Li Weicheng indirectly killed the queen, can he come back?" ”
"The reason is very simple, things in this world are not always static. If the superior says you are guilty, you are guilty. Say you don't have it, and you can do without. Li Shuci sneered: "If as expected, since my grandfather has already started planning for the Shen family, then will he still care about uniting with the Shen family." He would definitely go to the Shen family under the persuasion of the Shen family. And the Shen family must have already thought of countermeasures and waited for their grandfather to take the bait! ”
Mu Yun said: "It turns out that you already knew that it was impossible for Li Weicheng to take Li Weicheng's life in this matter......"
"The girl has spent so much time on Zhouzhang, in addition to making Li Weicheng lose power, there should be other purposes." The green pigeon pondered, "Could it be ...... The girl is trying to force Shen to come forward? ”
Li Shuci looked at Qingge in surprise, nodded and said, "You're right, if the Shen family keeps hiding, we can only punch on the cotton, and we will never be able to hit the opponent's vital point." Over the years, Aunt Shen and Grandma have been borrowing Zhou's hands to do things, if you want to disintegrate the layout of the big house, you must first start from Zhou's body, she is Aunt Shen's right-hand man, and Li Weicheng's wife! If you want to intensify the conflict between her and Li Weicheng, Lan is indispensable. ”
Qingge looked at Mu Yun and said, "Fortunately, Mu Yun is almost well, otherwise, I really don't worry about the girl's safety." “
Mu Yun smiled bitterly: "This is really thanks to my father, if he hadn't forced me to study hard in medicine, how could I get better so quickly." This muscle pill was developed by my father, and the prescription was memorized by rote. ”
The next day, Shen Hao made an excerpt, and together with Shen Yuan, he was summoned to the palace by Emperor Xuwen. Shen Yuan, who was only sixteen or seventeen years old, personally led the Shen family to go down to the prefectures and counties where the disaster was severe, personally supervised the porridge factory set up by the yamen, and pacified the refugees. Discipline people and discipline themselves, and ensure that all the donations raised by officials and businessmen and all the relief silver allocated by the imperial court are all implemented on the victims of the disaster.
However, after a few days, Shen Yuan's feelings of worrying about the country and the people not only spread all over the five capitals of Beijing, but even the people in various counties and counties knew about this handsome young man who was known as one of the four sons, which was different from Li Weicheng's hope for heaven, this was a real achievement, and was admired by all the people.
When Li Shuci heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "Shen Yuan, he is really calculating, no matter what the situation, he can make the judgment that is most beneficial to him." ”
The sound of the wind whistling outside the window was cold to the bone. Li Shuci suddenly felt sleepy, so he slowly lay down with a thick brocade quilt, and the silver and red peonies in the room that were carefully spread and smoked by the florist exuded a vague fragrance. In the haze, she seemed to return to the day of her grandmother's death, and the white silk carried the snow whistling in the wind, sometimes rolling up, sometimes falling. Bleak colors gripped her world mercilessly.
At this strange and empty moment, she saw the young man standing not far away, with white robes and black hair, and a dark expression. He looked at her with those silent eyes, which seemed to be palpable pity and sympathy. A faint smile slowly formed at the corner of his mouth, and he walked towards her, and from then on, this young man seemed to be engraved in her heart, burning her for eternity.
"Shen Yuan......" Li Shuci sat up from the couch suddenly, and subconsciously hugged his shoulders to avoid something. only to find that this is just a dream of inaction.
Xue Xin heard movement outside, pushed the door in and asked, "Girl, are you awake?" I didn't sleep for a while. ”
Li Shuci put his hand on his forehead, not knowing how he could have such a dream. She lay back in the quilt, but she felt that it was difficult to sleep, so she simply lifted the quilt, got dressed and walked out, the sky was completely dark. There were many shadows of trees in the Wind Garden, the wind lanterns hanging on the porch swayed back and forth, and there seemed to be some movement in the distance. "Xuexin, will you go with me to my grandmother?"
Lan Xinzheng walked over from the corridor and said, "Girl, and a girl named Ying'er in Huiyuan, I heard that Fang just had a conflict with the grandmother next to the eldest lady in the big kitchen, and the Lan family said that she was disrespectful and humble, and wanted to beat her to death to make amends to the eldest lady, and this meeting is already out of breath and out of breath......
"It seems that the Lan family already knows that Ying'er has been bought."
The soft snow under his feet creaked, and Li Shuci walked through one corridor after another, and the Mingshoutang was already lit with enough lights, but in such a gloomy weather, it became more and more radiant.
Before entering the house, Li Shuci heard Yao's exclamation, "Mother! ”
Li Shuci shook her head, lifted her skirt and ran into the house, and Xue Xin and Qingge followed her and quickly ran towards the house. In addition to the Yao family and the Wu family in the house, the Lan family, Li Shuqiao, and Li Shuwen were also there, and the girls were shouting around the group. Mama Lian and Mama Jiang were holding the old lady one by one, and one was pinching people, but the old lady closed her eyes tightly and did not respond.
As soon as Yao saw Li Shuci coming, he hurriedly said: "Ah Ci, your grandmother was talking to us a moment ago, and suddenly she collapsed, this ...... What's going on? ”
Wu Shi was already in tears: "Yes, Ah Ci, the old lady fainted without warning, how can this be good!" ”
Li Shuci rushed to him and looked at the old lady's face like gold paper. His eyes were gloomy and he said, "Qingluo, immediately call the housekeeper to invite the imperial doctor, go quickly!" The ninja in her heart was uncomfortable, desperately ignoring the dream just now, she ordered repeatedly: "Su Luo, grandfather should have returned from the palace at this time, hurry up and send someone to greet him." Xuexin, you go and find Doctor Hu in the house first, and then go and call Mu Yun over. ”
After a while, even the aunts and young masters and girls in the house arrived, plus their respective maids and sisters-in-law, and stood in the courtyard. Li Yu hurried back from outside, passing through the crowd, his face uncertain. "What the hell is going on!"
Dr. Hu is a doctor in the house, who has been in the Li family for many years, and is very familiar with the physical condition of the masters, and his medical skills are naturally passable. Dr. Hu has already checked it, shook his head and said: "I have to check the pulse of the old lady once in a few days, the old lady's body has been good, and there is no abnormality, I just checked, and there are no special symptoms, as for why I suddenly fainted, it is difficult to determine if the medical skills are not refined......
Li Shuci was shocked and angry in her heart, she was careful enough, and she still caught the way! "Mama Lian, what's wrong with grandmother these days?"
Mama Jiang is the most intimate grandmother beside the old lady. But before the daughter's marriage in the family, in time for the New Year's Festival, she got the grace of the old lady and took a leave of more than a month, and just returned to the house. Therefore, everyone looked at Mama Lian on the side. Even Mama is also a person who is used to taking care of the old lady, and hurriedly said: "It's nothing special, it's just that the queen has been mourning in the past few days, and the old lady has entered the palace to cry, maybe she is too tired, she is always a little dizzy these days, she eats less than before, and she sleeps a little heavily." ”
Yao's heart was already soft, and he had a good relationship with the old lady, but he couldn't hold it back at this time, and his voice choked up: "In the past few days of entering the palace, the queen mother remembered that the old ladies of each family were older, so she gave grace, you don't have to kneel all the time, you can often rest in the warm pavilion." The diet was also with everyone, and the old lady had always been cautious, and nothing special had happened. ”
Imperial Physician Wu was soon invited, and he repeatedly checked the old lady's symptoms and asked, "What is wrong today?" ”
Everyone shook their heads, and Li Yu frowned: "Neiko's body has always been healthy, so there shouldn't be any big problems, right?" I wonder when Uchiko will wake up? ”
Imperial Physician Wu shook his head thoughtfully, "It's not like the usual fainting, it's like being poisoned." ”
Li Shuci sighed in his heart, everyone's faces changed, Li Yu was surprised, his face was even more shocked, he subconsciously looked around at everyone, and said, "Poisoned? ”
Wu's legs are weak, and she is responsible for the food up and down the house, and when it comes to poisoning at this time, it is naturally related to eating, "How can you be poisoned?" Who's going to do it to the old lady? ”
Li Shuci's face was pale, she almost made people pay attention to the movements in the old lady's house all the time, and they also paid extra attention to eating, but her grandmother was still poisoned, she couldn't help clenching her fists, and looked at the people in the room with different expressions, "Imperial Doctor Wu, since you can see that it is poisoned, do you already have a way to save it?" ”
Imperial Physician Wu took out the silver needle, pricked it on the old lady's finger, sprinkled some powder into the blood droplets, observed for a moment, and said, "Preliminary judgment, the old lady looks like mercury poisoning." ”
"Mercury? How can it be? Wu was apprehensive, for fear that this matter would have something to do with eating, "Imperial Doctor Wu, are you mistaken?" The old lady can't touch such a thing as mercury anyway......"
When Imperial Physician Wu heard this, his face was a little unsightly, but because Li Yu was in a high position after all, he reluctantly explained: "Under normal circumstances, it is naturally impossible to come into contact with mercury, but there are exceptions, I wonder if the old lady has used cinnabar?" ”
Lian Mama's face changed greatly, and she suddenly pointed at Lan and said, "It's you!" Why do you want to hurt the old lady! You said! ”
Lan's heart was shocked, and when she heard the imperial doctor mention cinnabar, she secretly said that something was wrong. Everyone's eyes looked at her, Li Weicheng was not around at this time, no one would speak for her, she knelt on the ground with a thud, and instantly tears were like rolling beads: "Father Mingcha!" I didn't, how could I hurt the old lady! I...... I really don't know......"
Li Shuci was just about to speak, only to hear Li Shuqiao, who had been standing aside silently, suddenly sneered: "Aunt Lan, the matter has come to this, you still can't tell it honestly!" ”
