Yuan's name is Cui, the concubine born to Yuan Kui, who has been killed by Dong Zhuo, and is the youngest of her peers in the family. www.biquge.info Yuan Kui is shrewd and resourceful, with a prominent official position, a family of Yuan, four generations and three dukes, famous all over the world. And his wife is the daughter of Ma Rong, a famous man in the world, and she is also a talented woman in the world, so her mansion is also cleaned up by him and his virtuous wife, and there is no wives and concubines often in wealthy families, but a harmonious family, which is not even comparable to Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao's family.

When Yuan Cui was born, the brothers and sisters in the family were older and took good care of her, and her parents regarded this young girl as a pearl in their palms. Yuan Cui has been good at female celebrity since childhood, and she also knows calligraphy and painting, in such an environment, Yuan Cui does not understand the sinister nature of people outside the house. Since she was married by Dong Zhuona, because she was too shy and didn't like Dong Zhuo, who was born in the army, she was gradually dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo, and the Jia family often instigated in the middle, Dong Zhuo became more and more cold to her. After Yuan Kui was killed by Zhu Lian because of the troops of his nephews Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Yuan Yi and others, although Dong Zhuo did not kill Yuan Cui, he was even more disgusted with her, and he wanted to be wary of her, so he simply did not go to see her.

Most of the maids around Yuan Cui were originally trained by the Jia family, and Yuan Cui didn't understand the world and didn't buy people's hearts at all, so during her unknowing, the maids around her had no credible person except for the jade beads that had accompanied her since she was a child from Yuan's mansion.

It's a pity that she doesn't know, and she still frowns all day long, only sighing for what happened to her. After the death of Yuan Kui's family, she washed her face with tears day after day, although she took into account the pregnancy in her arms, and was also a little wary of Jia and others, but she didn't know that the people around her had long been untrustworthy.

Jia Shi successfully angered Dong Zhuo, so that Dong Zhuo never stepped into Yuan Cui's courtyard again, since Jia Shi knew that Yuan Cui was pregnant, he made up his mind to get rid of this person, so he asked the maid to put a small amount of medicine in Yuan Cui's daily meals, so that her body gradually became weaker and weaker, and then finally bedridden, after that, the medicine was simpler, only need to poison directly in the medicinal soup that Yuan Cui takes every day. Jia's personality is cautious, since the childless soup was seen through by Bai Ji, the amount of medicine used by other people has also been reduced, so Yuan Cui's body is only getting thinner and thinner, but there is no danger to life for the time being, and the fetus in the womb is still intact.

The layout of the inner garden of Bi Guiyuan is generally that Dong Zhuo's military and political hall and study are located in the north courtyard, the princess Liu Yao and the Li family of Wan'an live in the west courtyard, the Jia family, the Cai family, the Yuan family and others live in the south courtyard, and the east courtyard is given to Bai Ji. Although Dong Zhuo didn't take the royal family surnamed Liu seriously, he didn't neglect Liu Yao either, Princess Wan'an lived in the largest courtyard in the west courtyard, and the courtyards of the other concubines were much smaller. Because the Yuan family and the Cai family are not favored, the place where they live is even worse than that of the Jia family and the Li family.

On this day, Yuan Cui was awakened from a nightmare again, and she would see her parents, brothers and sisters lying in a pool of blood one by one in her dreams almost every night, looking at her with terrible eyes...... She has been loved by her family since she was a child, but now she is committed to the enemy, how can she feel at ease?

Yuan Cui was covered in cold sweat, and suddenly opened his eyes suddenly, this is Bi Guiyuan and not Yuan Mansion...... She sobbed silently, she didn't know how long it had been like this, and she couldn't control her feelings, even though she knew that excessive sentimentality was not good for the child in her womb.

"Ma'am, are you awake?" Yuzhu hurriedly brought a basin of water from outside the bedroom to clean her body, although there are several subordinates in Yuan Cui's courtyard who can be served, but Yuzhu has grown up with Yuan Cui since childhood, and the feelings between each other have long exceeded that of master and servant, Yuzhu is afraid that other subordinates will not take care of Yuan Cui, and is worried that there will be subordinates who will be bought by other concubines, and harm Yuan Cui when she is away, so she will not leave Yuan Cui's left and right. She didn't expect that this would give people an opportunity to poison, Yuzhu was simple-minded, and she never expected that these people would dare to do anything in Madame's food and medicine.

Yuan Cui's originally delicate and plump cheeks have lost a lot of weight because of the grief and illness for most of the month, her face is as pale as paper, and her lips are even more blue, like a person who has been sick all year round. She felt that her hands and feet were getting more and more prostrated and weak these days, and she needed Yuzhu's help to get up from the bed in the past two days.

Seeing that Yuan Cui's body had collapsed, Yuzhu felt very sad, she wrung out the fluffy towel, and then carefully took off her clothes for Yuan Cui, and gently wiped the sweat beads and stains on the jade body with a towel. then changed a set of underwear for Yuan Cui and asked her to lie down slowly.

"Sister Yuzhu, this is Mrs. Yuan's decoction, it has been cooked, let Mrs. drink it while it's hot."

A maid walked up to Yuzhu with a medicine bowl in both hands, and the soup in the medicine bowl was steaming.

Yuzhu took the medicine bowl, walked to Yuan Cui's bed softly, held the medicine bowl with one hand, picked up the spoon with the other, gently scooped up a spoonful, put it to his mouth and blew, and then handed it to Yuan Cui's mouth: "Madam, it won't be very hot, come, open your mouth and drink it." ”

Yuan Cui obediently opened her pale little mouth, just took a sip, and did not drink all the spoonful of medicine in the spoon. She furrowed her eyebrows: "This medicine...... It's getting more and more bitter. ”

"Madam, the medicine is bitter." Yuzhu looked at Yuan Cui's furrowed brows, she also looked sour, but when she thought that her wife's condition was getting worse and worse now, she was very anxious. She turned her head sideways with an angry expression, and asked in a low voice to the maid who brought the medicine, "Didn't you let you let go of the honey?" Why is it still so bitter? ”

The maid said with a look of grievance: "Sister Yuzhu, I have already let go of the honey water, the imperial doctor said that any more honey water will affect the efficacy of the medicine." ”

Another maid beside her also agreed: "Yes, Sister Yuzhu, don't blame her, this medicine is already quite bitter." Madame's condition is getting worse and worse, and we are also looking at it in our eyes and anxious in our hearts. ”

When Yuzhu heard this, she also felt that she shouldn't be angry with others, so she put away her anger, nodded slightly, turned her face again, turned to Yuan Cui, and said softly: "Madam, only after drinking the medicine, the condition will slowly improve, come." ”

As he spoke, he handed the spoon to Yuan Cui again, and Yuan Cui seemed to have mustered up enough courage, opened his mouth and took a sip again, then closed his lips, and still didn't finish drinking: "It's really bitter......"

"Alas......" Yuzhu sighed, she felt empathy just by looking at Yuan Cui's expression, and her heart was bitter, but she still squeezed out a smile: "Madam is really afraid of hardship, but how can she get better if she doesn't drink this disease?" ”

Yuan Cui looked at Yuzhu's expression that seemed to be crying but not smiling, knowing that she was really worried about herself, and couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart: Now the world can treat her sincerely, but I'm afraid that only Yuzhu is the maid. She shook her head: "What do I think, this disease...... I'm afraid it won't get better, Yuzhu, you have to take good care of yourself in the future......"

"No!" Yuzhu couldn't help crying, she put the medicine bowl aside, and wrapped her hands around to protect Yuan Cui: "Madame, don't say this, Madame is still so young, and her body has always been healthy, such a minor illness is nothing, lie down for a few days, you will definitely be fine...... So, Madame, don't say these frustrating words. ”

The two maids in the back were so nervous that they couldn't help but look at each other, although the Yuan family occasionally complained a few bitter words in the past, but they had never been able to drink even a spoonful like today, and today ...... It was also in accordance with Jia's instructions that they put a lot of dosage in the medicine they brought over, as long as they drank this bowl, not to mention the fetus in the womb that was less than three months old, even adults might not be able to escape death. Although these two people had already been bought by the Jia family, after all, this was a matter of killing the master, and they were naturally very nervous.

"Yuzhu, I don't want to drink medicine......"

Yuan Cui closed her eyes weakly and lay her head flat, unwilling to take another sip. Yuzhu looked at the bowl of soup and medicine placed on several cases, and her heart was entangled: should she let Mrs. drink the bowl of medicine or not? Indeed, if it is really just a minor illness, it is okay not to drink this medicine. But now Mrs. is still pregnant, and this is lying down for more than half a month, and her body is getting thinner and thinner, which shows that she must have an illness that is difficult to treat, and it is not appropriate to stop taking medicine.

Yuzhu thought hard, she even wanted to ask Dong Xiangguo to send the imperial doctor to come over for diagnosis and treatment, although it seems that Dong Zhuo doesn't care about Mrs. Yuan's life or death at all, but she can risk her life for Mrs. Yuan. Moreover, if she tells Xiangguo that his wife is pregnant, maybe Xiangguo will definitely do his best to save his wife's life for the sake of the child.

Yuzhu made up her mind, and planned to get up and run out, but the two maids saw that Yuzhu no longer fed Yuan's medicine, and became more and more nervous:

"Sister Yuzhu, where are you going? I haven't finished feeding the medicine yet. ”

Yuzhu glanced at them: "Don't drink it, let's get it." Anyway, after drinking it for so long, it didn't work, and I plan to go and ask Lord Xiangguo again to ask him to find a doctor for his wife. ”

The two maids have been instructed by the Jia family to watch Yuan Cui finish drinking the bowl of medicine, and now that the matter is imminent, naturally they can't let Yuzhu pour the medicine, and they immediately spoke together: "Xiangguo is not in Bi Guiyuan today, you can't find him, Madame's illness can't be delayed any longer, you still have to drink the medicine quickly!" ”

When Yuzhu heard this, she looked at the two of them again, and her heart became suspicious: the nervous expressions of these two people were very strange, not like they were concerned about Madame, but seemed to only care about whether Madame had finished drinking the bowl of medicine...... In her mind, she connected everything that had happened these days: medicine was never something she had watched...... After the lady drank the medicine, she was always very uncomfortable...... Madame's body is getting weaker and weaker these days...... Moham!

Yuzhu's eyes widened and she asked in an unbelievable tone, "You tell me honestly...... Is there something wrong with this medicine? ”

The two maids didn't expect that Yuzhu would suddenly "wake up" at this time, and they looked embarrassed for a while, just the panicked expressions on their faces had already been revealed, Yuzhu was not a stupid person, and she understood five or six points in her heart at the moment, and she suddenly screamed: "You guys...... It was you who did the tricks in the medicine and hurt the lady, right!? ”

Seeing Yuzhu's eyes widening angrily, the two of them thought for a while, thinking that since their affairs had been revealed, it was better to simply stop doing nothing, subdue this Yuzhu, and pour the medicine into Yuan's mouth! In fact, the Jia family had already made arrangements, and just when Yuzhu roared, several maids guarding outside the bedroom also rushed in, and they were all poisoned together with the two maids.

"Since Sister Yuzhu refuses to give medicine to Madame, then she can only let us come!"

Although Yuzhu tried her best to rush over and smash the medicine bowl, her fists were invincible to her four hands, and a few maids with a stronger physique had already walked over and held Yuzhu's hands and feet, so that she could not move. In order to prevent Yuzhu from screaming, they immediately took out a towel and stuffed it into her mouth.

A maid walked over, looked at Yuan Cui, who was terrified on the bed, but was powerless to struggle, smiled coldly, and then picked up the medicine bowl next to the bed: "Let the slave maid feed the medicine to the lady." ”

"You ...... Why do you want to ...... Hurt me? ”

Yuan Cui gasped and looked at this group of maids in her courtyard in disbelief.

"The slaves and maids are just following orders, and Mrs. Wanwang should not blame the slaves and maids."

The maid said coldly, then picked up the spoon, and was about to forcibly pry Yuan's mouth open and pour medicine into her.

"Woo! Woo! Yuzhu finally whimpered, she understood that the medicine in that bowl must be highly poisonous! She regretted that if she could see it as soon as possible, Madame would not have been so sick so badly, it was her own incompetence that harmed Madame.

At this time, a pretty and petite girl broke in with a group of people:

"In broad daylight, the courtyard gate was locked, and there was not even a single guard...... Is this still the courtyard of Xiangguo's concubine's room? ”

That voice was cold and strange, it was Bai Ji! (To be continued.) )
