Chapter Forty-Six: Cannibalism
The second day is the sixteenth day of the first month, and the palace is quiet on this day, and the palace people come and go less, quietly.
Qingge served me early in the morning to freshen up, and I wondered to her, "Why is it not as usual in this palace?" ”
Qingge didn't care and said, "It's probably some kind of celebration here in the first month," he said, pretending to blame me, "It's all you, Chuxi, maybe you're delaying me to have fun." ”
I smiled softly and didn't contradict her.
After breakfast, Qi Qing hurried over, brought some medicine, and asked me about my injuries, which was very concerned.
I smiled and said to him, "Just right, come with me to say hello to the queen." ”
Qi Qing said indifferently: "You don't have to go." ”
I wondered, "Why is that?" ”
Qi Qing poured himself a cup of tea and said, "Sister Yu'er is getting married today, so naturally she went over there." ”
I suddenly realized: "No wonder, there are few people in the palace, it turns out that I was transferred to the Liang Mansion," I looked at Qi Qing and asked, "Then why are you still here?" Oh yes, I'll go too! ”
Qi Qing glanced at me and said, "Chu Xi, can you go like this?" My father has specifically instructed you not to go, and I am here to accompany you. ”
I refused, "That's not going to work, I still have to go and congratulate me." I looked at Qi Qing and sternly refused, so I thought about it and said, "That's it, don't go." ”
Qi Qing smiled and said, "Well, this is it." ”
I asked curiously, "Then again, who is your sister Yu'er marrying?" ”
As soon as Qi Qing opened his mouth to speak, he heard a terrible scream outside, and I was so frightened that I hurried out and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
In the courtyard outside, a palace maid fell to the ground, apparently falling while changing the candles for the palace lamp on the ladder, but she was lying on the ground, her shirt was covered with blood, and there was also blood around the ground, and there was blood gushing out.
I looked at the dazed palace maids outside, and some disdainful palace maids and eunuchs who seemed to know, so I scolded sharply: "What are you still doing!" It's important to save people! Immediately closed the door of Chenji Palace, and if you missed a word, you will be skinned! ”
A few eunuchs hurriedly went to close the door, I asked someone to carry the little palace maid to my bed, looking at the blood on the lower body, I seemed to know something, I called a few palace maids and said, "Go and ask the imperial doctor!" ”
Qingge stopped at this time: "Slow! Cannot! ”
I looked at Qingge and asked, "Weishenme can't?" ”
Qingge said: "Chu Xi, the imperial doctor just came yesterday, and your pulse is already known to the hospital, if you put down the curtain and pretend to be you, I'm afraid it's not easy to explain, besides, this girl is obviously ...... So, it's even more unclear. ”
I hurriedly said, "What then?" The men outside the palace can't get in again! ”
Qingge shook his head, and I said, "No matter, go and ask for a doctor!" ”
Qi Qing said loudly, "Slow," he said, looking at me, "I know a person who should be able to come and heal." ”
I looked at Qi Qing, and he called the palace maid and said, "Go and invite Sister Rui to come, she should be fine." Saying that, I took the waist card out of the palace to the little palace maid, and instructed: "Hurry, half an hour, be sure to rush back!" ”
Ask me to look at the palace maid on the bed, and comforted: "Just for a while, you hold on!" ”
The palace maid suddenly grabbed my collar and signaled that something was said to me, I hurriedly bent down, and she said softly: "Niangniang...... If...... The slave and maid died...... Please take me...... ...... to the front of the temple Li Shouwei...... With a word...... Just say...... xiexie he ......"
I was so anxious that I was sweating profusely, and said, "Stop talking," and then turned back and asked, "Why is it so slow?" ”
was in a hurry, not long after, the little palace maid led a woman in a green dress in, the woman hurriedly came in, saw the situation of the woman on the bed, hurriedly took the pulse, and commanded: "Cotton, boiling water......"
I watched the woman give orders in an orderly manner and put my heart at ease, and asked on the side, "Sister Rui, how is it?" ”
The woman frowned and looked at Qi Qing and said, "Ah Qing is out, why is the boy here?" ”
Qi Qing went out unhappily, and the woman looked at me and said, "It's okay, the princess, I'll prescribe a pair of medicines, and I'll take it on time for a while, but there may be some sequelae, but it's okay." ”
I nodded and smiled, "Thank you, girl." ”
I left a few palace maids to guard in the house, and I came out with this woman, and Qi Qing was also outside, and the three people outside sat on the stone benches in the courtyard, and I watched the palace people clean up the bloodstains.
I smiled and said to the woman, "There is Miss Lao, may I ask the girl's name?" ”
The woman smiled: "Little woman Liang Ruier." ”
I was stunned and said, "Who is Liang Yu'er?" ”
Liang Ruier smiled reluctantly: "It's the little girl's cousin." ”
My curiosity became heavier and heavier, and I was about to ask again, but Liang Ruier got up to say goodbye, and when she left, I asked Qi Qing: "My cousin is getting married, why is my cousin not there?" ”
Qi Qing said lightly: "The relationship is not good." ”
I looked at Qi Qing and waited for him to say the following, Qi Qing was impatient with me, and said in a rambling voice: "My grandfather's family has two sons, Sister Yu and Brother Pu belong to the eldest uncle's family, and Sister Rui belongs to the second uncle's family, and the relationship has always been very good, but later the eldest uncle killed the second uncle, so that's it." ”
When I heard this, I was so shocked that I couldn't close my mouth and asked, "Are you...... You...... What to say? ”
Qi Qing was still faint, and said in line with his age: "My grandfather's family has a title and military power, but the eldest son inherits the title, and the military power is inherited by the second son, so the eldest uncle poisoned the second uncle." ”
I was surprised and asked, "How can you be so sure?" Don't be a fool, Ah Qing, that's your uncle. ”
Qi Qing sighed: "It's because it's my uncle...... The second uncle died after drinking the wine given by the eldest uncle, and before he died, he wrote a suicide note saying that he did not blame the eldest uncle, and hoped that the eldest uncle would take good care of Sister Rui. ”
I couldn't believe it: "Is there some misunderstanding in such a clumsy poisoning method?" ”
Qi Qing smiled and said, "Human evidence, physical evidence, and also, the eldest uncle also admitted it, but so what?" ”
"That...... What is the meaning? ”
Qi Qing snorted coldly: "My grandfather's family is powerful, he holds military power, and he is a relative of the emperor, even his father and the emperor have to give face, my grandfather only has two sons, one has left, can I still bear to kill my relatives with righteousness and destroy the only one?" If the grandfather's family doesn't pursue it, who else dares? Besides, the second uncle's father only has one daughter, Sister Rui, no matter how long it takes, this ending is still the same, all the titles and military power will still go to Brother Pu, early or late, what's the difference? ”
