Chapter 162: Smallpox Pollen
Rong Xi's steps paused slightly, the two lanterns at the entrance of the Red Sleeve Garden fluttered in the wind, the warmth in her eyes flashed, and then a trace of imperceptible pain and ridicule flashed.
Family? For myself, it has always been a luxury, and it will be better in the future, just a "title" and an ideal place.
Xiao'er hung her head and pushed open the door, Rong Xi walked in, the people in the small kitchen saw two people coming back, and an old mother hurriedly trotted out, and asked Xiao'er in a low voice: "Miss Xiao'er, do you want to set the meal now?" ”
"Well, get ready, I'll wait for the princess to wash up, and I'll call you later." Xiao'er looked at the hour and said.
"Yes."
Xiao'er waited for Rong Xi to wash her hands with rose juice, wiped her face again, changed into a set of regular clothes, and the mother-in-law had already set up the meal outside, and the master and servant sat at the table looking at the dishes tonight.
The meals cooked in the small kitchen are very exquisite, and Rongxi requires that there is not much to eat, so the mothers-in-law work the dishes and taste.
"Miss, this soup looks good, you can taste it." Xiao'er gave Rong Xi a bowl of soup, carefully served it, and when she was about to put it on Rong Xi's noodles, she sniffled gently.
"What's wrong?" Rong Xi looked at her and asked.
Xiao'er retreated the soup again, and said to the other maids, "You all go down first." ”
Those maid rings went down in an instant, Rong Xi's eyes fell on the bowl of fresh and thick soup, and he couldn't help but collect his eyes, the bowl of soup was milky white and fragrant, and it could be seen that the person who boiled the soup had put some effort into it.
It's just that...... Something doesn't taste right.
"Miss," Xiao'er pursed her lips and said with some uncertainty, "The slave has something to say, if it is not right, don't blame it." ”
"Say it." Rong Xi looked at her cautious appearance and nodded.
"The slave maid thinks that there seems to be something wrong with this soup." Xiao'er stirred the bowl of soup with a soup spoon, and the aroma suddenly became more intense, and there was no trace on the silver spoon.
Xiao'er's expression became more firm, and her voice was low, "Miss, the slave suspects that someone has been drugged in this soup." ”
Rong Xi smelled the clear aroma in her nose, as well as other smells mixed with the aroma, she nodded, "Don't doubt it, it's true." ”
"Ahh Although Xiao'er was already mentally prepared, she screamed.
Since the last time there was a food conflict, Xiao'er has also deliberately learned a lot of herbal knowledge by Rong Xi's side, and she is also very familiar with some simple medical theories, and she can also distinguish some medicinal materials with a special smell.
For example, the smallpox pollen that is now placed in this soup.
However, smallpox pollen is used for abortion, so what does it mean that the person who drugged it put this medicine in Miss's soup? Xiao'er thought suspiciously, and suddenly a flash of lightning flashed in her mind, and then her eyes widened, and she raised her hand to cover her mouth.
She is Rong Xi's personal maid, she must know some private things about Rong Xi, too many things have happened during this time, Xiao'er is also too busy to faint, she only remembered when she saw this day's flower soup, Miss's letter period seems to have been postponed! Could it be ......
"Miss, you ......" Xiao'er felt that her heart was about to jump out, and she couldn't even finish her words.
"Yes," Rong Xi knew what she was referring to, and readily admitted.
"That'...... This ......" Xiao'er's face turned a little pale, who did this? How can it be so vicious?! How can you do such a hand!
Rong Xi raised her hand and stroked her temples, her head hurt a little, she closed her eyes slightly, and tried her best to calm her mind, she was disappointed in Leng Yixiu, but she never thought of not wanting this child.
But...... Who exactly? Want to do this to yourself? In this mansion, only Mama Wei saw that she was pregnant, and Mama Wei should not do this, she was very loyal to Leng Yixiu, and it was impossible for her to do such a poisonous hand to his sister-in-law.
She was thinking about it, when there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and the footsteps were urgent, panicked, knocking on people's hearts, and there was a dull pain.
A crisp aroma spread in the air, and Leng Yixiu broke in like a bolt of lightning, he looked at Rong Xi, and there was a painful light in his eyes, like two candle flames, burning hot.
His gaze moved from Rong Xi's face to the bowl of soup with difficulty, he seemed to take a deep breath, the pain in his eyes was thicker, like a mist that could not be dissolved, gradually fogging, covering the original candle-like hot light.
He walked over slowly, holding the heavy sword and commanding thousands of troops and horses without trembling, at this moment he trembled slightly, as if the small and thin jade bowl weighed a thousand catties, he took the bowl in his hand, put it under the tip of his nose and sniffed it carefully.
That's right, it's smallpox.
"Rong Xi ......" After a long time, Leng Yixiu spoke, and his voice was surging with pain, "You...... Pregnant? ”
"Yes." Rong Xi took a breath and replied.
"Lord Wang...... It's not like that! Not what you think! Xiao'er looked at Leng Yixiu's expression, she suddenly thought of something, and screamed in a sharp voice.
"The prince and his sister are talking here, what are you talking about as a slave?!" A clear female voice rang out sternly, and with that voice, a woman's figure flashed in through the door.
Rong Qiu looked at Xiao'er angrily, and said with a displeased face: "Unruly girl! Don't slap your mouth yet! Do you have a part in speaking here? ”
"Then why are you standing here?" Rong Xi sneered and said, "Are you so impatient to pick up the shelf of the mistress of the palace?" ”
"Sister......" When Rong Qiu heard this, her face couldn't help but change, and her eyes were suddenly filled with water, she glanced at Leng Yixiu timidly, "Xiu, I really didn't mean that, it's just ...... It's so sad for my sister's approach. ”
Rong Xi raised his eyebrows, originally thinking about who would attack the child in his belly, but now he doesn't have to think about it, the other party jumped out by himself.
The smallpox powder in this soup has just smelled it, and Leng Yixiu actually arrived immediately, and Rong Qiu also knew the situation in this soup, so is there any other explanation besides that she is an insider?
When Leng Yixiu heard Rong Qiu's words, the pain in his eyes became clearer, like two sharp knives that provoked the blades, stabbing his eyes painfully, "Rong Xi...... You don't care so much about our children? Why do you hate me? He refused to let him disappear from this world even if he knew it? ”
His voice was like the wind blowing through the tips of a dry tree in winter, whimpering and desolate, with a bone-oozing chill, instantly repelling the summer heat and reaching the depths of Rong Xi's heart.
She smiled bitterly, he really didn't believe her, he didn't trust her at all.
With just a bowl of soup, just listening to Rong Qiu's one-sided words, and a few provocative words, he decided that this was the result, and he didn't even give himself a chance to speak.
Rong Xi was sad but also glad in his heart, fortunately, he had decided to leave, and he did not fall deeper and deeper, and it was still too late to withdraw at this moment.
Thinking of this, she raised her face and smiled at him, the summer evening wind hit her face hotly, blowing the broken hair on her cheeks, but she couldn't help but shiver slightly, "What you say, what you say." ”
The room was silent, and the hustle and bustle of Qiē was roaring away at this time.
Leng Yixiu looked at her flat gaze, and suddenly there were layers of chill on his back, and a drop of cold and sticky sweat rolled down from the skin of his back, like his heart at the moment, suddenly sank and fell into the abyss.
"Sister! How can you do that? Rong Qiu's voice was extremely sharp, breaking the tranquility at this time, her chest fell together, as if she was very angry, her face also became red, and her eyes were shining with tears, "Yixiu is so good to you!" You're actually ...... ......"
She gasped sharply, and her voice was sharp and trembling: "Even if you don't love him, but the child is innocent, how to say it, it is also your own flesh and blood, the baby in your body, is your bone in the bone, blood in the blood...... Oh, my God! How can you do it?! How can you be so ruthless! ”
"Second Miss!" Xiao'er really couldn't listen to it anymore, she stepped forward and blocked in front of Rong Qiu, her raised face was angry, "How can you talk nonsense like this!" That's not the way it is......"
"Really? So what do you say it is? The soup is all here! What else is there to say? Rong Qiu was not convinced, and pointed to the bowl of soup and said confidently.
"That soup is just ......" Xiao'er gritted her teeth in anger and reached out to smash the bowl of soup.
"Get out!" Leng Yixiu suddenly spoke, his voice was low, but with a murderous aura, two words, rolled down from between his lips and teeth, without a trace of heat.
Rong Qiu was stunned, and Xiao'er also pouted and stopped talking.
"Get out!" Leng Yixiu said again, turned his head to look at the two people, his eyes were as cold as ice, like two cold knives flying out.
Xiao'er lowered her eyes, glanced at Rong Xi uneasily, turned around and slowly retreated, Rong Qiu was also stunned, a little aggrieved look appeared on her face, a pair of eyes flashed with water, she pressed the line of water under her eyes, a reluctant smile appeared on her face, smiled at Leng Yixiu, and retreated.
The room was quiet again, even the wind had stopped, and the tree outside the window seemed to hold its breath, and the branches and leaves of the tree stood there motionless.
A cloud floated over slowly, gently blocking the moonlight in the sky, the candle flame in the room jumped, and Rong Xi and Leng Yixiu's expressions were hidden in the flickering candlelight, blurred.
Leng Fifteen and Leng Fifteen held their breath outside the window, the expression on their faces was stern, there was no relief in the past, they were a little nervous in their hearts, but they all clearly realized that perhaps, this time, the princess and the prince were real...... Fell out.
