45. Chapter 45
After returning home, Jiao Wanwan didn't dare to delay, and quickly asked someone to bring hot water over, and went to take a hot bath first. But even if you are in good health, it is not good to soak in cold water for nearly half an hour, and you will already have a headache at this time.
While he was still a little sober, he called Zhao Defang again and told Zhao Defang everything that happened in the palace.
Hearing that Jiao Wanwan was lifted into the pool, Zhao Defang's face changed a little, and he reached out and grabbed Jiao Wanwan's arm, with some anger and worry on his face, Jiao Wanwan hurriedly patted the back of his hand: "Don't worry, I'm fine?" I'm just a little worried, I don't know who this murderer is, I didn't succeed the first time, maybe there will be two or three in the future, we can't just guard against it all the time, right? We still have to find out who the murderer is. ”
Zhao Defang said with a calm face: "It shouldn't be the palace maid, you said that you will be brought into the water in just one moment, and you didn't even give a little time to struggle, and you didn't even let you see the figure behind you or something, first of all, you have to move quickly and powerfully, women generally don't have this strength." ”
Although Jiao Wanwan is not fat, she has no meat at all, there are still places where she should be, and her weight is also in the triple digits. Unless, that woman is born with divine power, otherwise, it can't be so fast.
"It can't be a guard, otherwise, just go down with a knife, why bother so much, and send people to the water, this method is laborious and unsafe, what if you shout halfway? Or is it holding on to the railing and struggling? Like this, what if you know how to swim? ”
As he spoke, he looked at Jiao Wanwan with some doubts: "Weren't you lying on the railing at the time?" There was no reaction at all? ”
The person was suddenly lifted up, and he didn't even shout out?
Jiao Wanwan blinked: "At that time, I thought, I have to hold my breath quickly, otherwise I will choke on a mouthful of water if I fall into the water, and I don't know how dirty this pond is, what if I am unlucky enough to swallow a fish?" ”
As for the hands, I can't really remember what they were doing at that time. It's really stupid, if you can react quickly at that time, wouldn't it be okay to pull the murderer's clothes with your backhand? Or is it holding on to the railing and not letting go......
"It's good you didn't hold on to the railing and didn't let go." Zhao Defang said suddenly, Jiao Wanwan was a little puzzled, Zhao Defang nodded her forehead: "If you hold on and don't let go, that person is in a hurry, maybe he should use the murder weapon." Speaking of which, what I said before was a bit too absolute, and it may be that the guards or something, the reason why they didn't use the murder weapon was probably to create a scene of accidentally falling into the water. ”
There was a murder case in the palace, and this matter must be thoroughly investigated. However, accidentally falling into the water and being murdered are two different things. If Jiao Wanwan was not careful, at most she would have killed the person who served Jiao Wanwan that night. But if someone is murdered, the official family is thinking about their own safety, and they have to investigate this matter thoroughly.
In addition to the eunuchs, there are two kinds of men in the palace, one is the guard, and the other is like Zhao Guangyi, who was invited in. The guards on duty are all limited by time and place, which time point should appear in which place, and who is traveling with them, all of which must be recorded. Zhao Guangyi is like this, and he is followed by the little eunuch, and there are so many people present, who disappear for a while during the time period, they can all be easily found out.
Therefore, if you want not to alarm too many people, you can only create an unexpected scene. Then, the murder weapon cannot be used, either it falls into the water, or it falls from the rockery. Jiao Wanwan just happened to be at the water's edge, if she was on the rockery, she would have died long ago. Even if he survives, he may be disfigured.
"So, either a guard, a eunuch, or a guest?" Jiao Wanwan raised her eyebrows and asked, her head hurt more and more, and her face was a little not good, like a fire, ** it was hot, and Jiao Wanwan couldn't wait to take some ice cubes and stick it on it.
"You don't have to worry about this matter first, take care of your body first, I remember that my mother said before, girls are not good to get cold, you go back to the room to lie down first, I just asked people to ask for a doctor, and I should come over now." Zhao Defang didn't discuss it, stretched out his big hand, took Jiao Wanwan out of the bathtub, wiped her body with a cloth towel in person, and wrapped people in a cloak and went back to the room.
The imperial doctor came quickly, he had just changed Jiao Wanwan into obscene clothes here, and Jin Mei asked at the door. Zhao Defang hurriedly invited people in, the imperial doctor was old, a little trembling, stretched out his hand to check the pulse, and shook his head: "The cold is a little strict, it has already burned up at this time, I will prescribe a prescription first, drink a bowl for a while, and see if the burning is bad at night, if it is powerful, let me come over again, if it is not powerful, don't pay attention to it, or this recipe, drink it early in the morning, and use it before meals in the future......"
The imperial doctor explained a bit, and wanted to leave with his medicine box, Zhao Defang hurriedly stayed: "If Neiko burns badly at night, I will invite you to come over again, you will still have to suffer this way, it is better to stay first, Ming'er will look at the situation, if Neiko's condition is stable, you will go back again, so as not to run back and forth, don't you say?" ”
The imperial doctor thought about it, and didn't shirk it, so he followed Jin Mei to a courtyard outside Lingwai to rest.
At this time, Jiao Wanwan was already a little unconscious, she felt that her brain was groggy, the breath exhaled from her nose was also burning, and her eyes were a little dry, but her eyelids were very heavy and she couldn't lift them. In a blur, I heard Zhao Defang's voice again: "Sleep well, just wake up tomorrow." ”
Only then did she feel at ease, and as soon as her mind relaxed, it was almost instantly dark in front of her, and she couldn't think of anything else.
Jiao Wanwan is in good health, and the original owner was a playful person before the crossing, and she followed her brother to make trouble at home every day. After Jiao Wanwan crossed, she was afraid that she would gain weight if she didn't move every day, so she actively exercised, and her body was even better.
Fortunately, the doctor was there, and he gave two injections and applied ice for an hour, and in the morning, his body temperature dropped, his head was a little lighter, and his face was not so hot.
The doctor prescribed another prescription, instructed him to drink it for three days, and then changed the warm prescription, and then took the consultation money and left.
After sending the imperial doctor away, Zhao Defang turned around and came back, reached out and tucked Jiao Wanwan's quilt: "How do you feel?" ”
"It's okay, it's not as uncomfortable as last night, why are you still at home now? Don't you need to go to court today? Jiao Wanwan hurriedly asked, Zhao Defang smiled: "It's okay to take a leave occasionally, are you hungry?" There's porridge in the kitchen, why don't you drink it first? The doctor said that you should drink porridge for two days first. ”
Jiao Wanwan made a slightly bitter face, this is not rice porridge, millet porridge, vegetable porridge, meat porridge, fruit porridge, you can drink whatever porridge you want, but what the doctor specially said, it is all white rice porridge, and there is not even a little salt.
One day is enough to lose the taste, and I have to drink it for two days in a row.
But Zhao Defang was very persistent, and Jiao Wanwan had no choice, so she had to nod her head and agree. It's boring to lie in bed, and I can't read a book when my head hurts at this time, so I simply dragged Zhao Defang and didn't let me go: "Talk to me, I've slept all night, and if I go back to sleep, I won't be able to sleep at night." “
Zhao Defang touched her forehead: "Don't you have to sleep all night when you're not sick?" Since you are sick, you should sleep a little longer, sleep at noon, and maybe in the afternoon. ”
"What do you do when you take a nap at noon?" Jiao Wanwan said with a smile, anyway, she didn't let Zhao Defang go: "Let's talk about last night's incident?" The murderer who wanted to kill me, this first time didn't succeed, maybe there will be a second and third time, it doesn't matter if we don't have a clue now, as long as you are careful in the future, you can always catch the handle, let's talk about the two people behind. ”
After a pause, he said: "I always feel that something is not right, the first person to go, the clothes he wears, how can he be the same as you, far away, I almost saw it wrong, fortunately it was too cold at the time, I felt that I didn't have the strength to shout, so I wanted to wait for you to get closer." ”
Zhao Defang also frowned: "Wearing something similar to mine?" ”
"Yes, the color of the clothes is the same, the style is the same, even the crown is almost the same, as for the pattern, at night, it is carrying a lantern, and it is not clear in the distance, only when you get closer, you can see it clearly." Jiao Wanwan frowned as she spoke: "You say, is this person trying to frame you?" Misleading people into thinking you're in league with them? ”
As he spoke, his eyes lit up again: "Since I was planning to frame you, maybe this sentence is not true?" Is it just a suspicious ploy? ”
"In this palace, if you can misunderstand you, except for the official family, it is the prince, who is he wearing like that?" Jiao Wanwan said again, Zhao Defang's brows furrowed even tighter, she told her father about the second uncle a few days ago, and this kind of thing happened today, and Wanniang was killed in front of her, could it be that the second uncle was manipulating in the back?
But just like I said at night, Mrs. Hua Rui can be killed, at that time in the hunting ground, and there was only Wan Niang alone, it was very simple to have an accident, right? Why do you have to wait until now?
Were these two events last night separate or together? Why did you want to kill Wan Niang? What are you trying to frame yourself for? Is it a coincidence or a deliberate effort to wear clothes like that?
"Don't think about these things yourself." Jiao Wanwan was only in good spirits for a short while, Zhao Defang saw that she began to hum and chirp again, and slapped her forehead twice, knowing that she was still not very comfortable, so she pinched her cheek: "You are still sick, take care of your body first, and leave this matter to me." ”
"Sleep?" Zhao Defang asked, Jiao Wanwan was really weak, her eyes were a little flowery, she nodded quickly and closed her eyes. Zhao Defang stood guard for a while, and saw that she was sleeping deeply, so she got up and went to the study.
He sat down for a while, called a guard in, and gave a few orders. Then he took the pen, wrote a few words, and called another guard in, and stuffed the paper in an envelope and gave it to the guard.
In the past, he was reluctant to care, because there was a father and a brother above, and he only needed to be an idle king, and then he would go to Guizhou to become a vassal. But Wanniang is in danger, so she can't bear it. Wanniang is his mother, moving Wanniang is equivalent to moving him, if he still doesn't make a sound, I'm afraid he will be treated as a clay man.
