Chapter 044: The Thief's Trick (Part II)
A miserable "grooming punishment" scraped off the flesh and skin on the two thighs, revealing white bones in some places, but it still failed to make Yu Jiulu's cronies reveal where the letters were hidden. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Yuwen looked at his cronies who had fainted, he lifted the bucket, and wanted to splash water to extract a confession.
The house slave on the side persuaded: "If you continue to fight, I'm afraid you will lose your breath!" ā
Yuwen was unwilling: "It's really a stone in the pit!" If I don't breathe, I won't be able to ask anything, so I'll stop here today! You guys are so watching, don't let him choke! ā
Throwing down the scoop, Yuwen Hu walked towards the outside of the cell.
Xiao Shahua opened the cold cell door and pleaded complainingly: "My lord, my lord! Save my mother! My mother is dying, please save my mother! ā
Yuwen outside the door stayed slightly, glanced at Mrs. Guo, who was angry, and threw down a sentence like a three-foot ice edge in the cold winter of Sanjiu, which stung Xiao Shahua's heart: "If you die, pull it out and bury it!" ā
"My lord, please, my lord!" Xiao Shahua's hands stretched out of the prison door and grabbed the corner of Yuwen Hu's clothes.
"Get out of here!" Yuwen Hu wanted to kick away Sha Hua's little hands, but those little hands were like nails, nailed to Yuwen Hu's clothes: "Looking for death, Lao Tzu is upset enough, see you are tired and crooked!" ā
As he spoke, Yuwen Hu picked up the short knife and was about to slash at Xiao Shahua's hand.
"Kid!" Fortunately, Mrs. Cui reacted in time and hugged Xiao Shahua back, and when the knife fell, it cut off Yuwen Hu's clothes, and Sha Hua's little hand was only injured outside the skin, and blood drippeds stained Yu Wenhu's boots.
Mrs. Cui couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat in her heart, seeing that when the knife cut clothes, she was at ease, it must be a sharp knife, if she hurt Xiao Shahua, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Save my mother, please!"
In the corridor behind Yuwen Hu's back, Xiao Shahua's grief echoed, and the rest of the female prisoners who were imprisoned also wept when they heard it.
Mrs. Cui was heartbroken and wanted to bandage Xiao Shahua's injured hand: "Child, you are too bold!" ā
"Go away, it's not you who is sick, I don't want you to cry!" Xiao Shahua broke free from Mrs. Cui's embrace, crawled to Mrs. Guo's side, held Mrs. Guo's weak arm, put her cheek against her mother's hand, and wept gloomily.
Yuwen Hu, who found nothing, came to Yuwentai's study to report. Yu Wentai is studying chess games, playing the role of black and white chess players back and forth.
"Uncle!"
Yuwen Hu hurriedly stepped through the door, and Yuwen Tai motioned for him to remain silent from a distance. Yu Wentai looked at the chessboard and muttered for a long time, and then dropped a black piece in his hand and picked up four white pieces.
Yuwentai, who had been keeping his head down, noticed that a small piece was missing from the corner of Yuwenhu's clothes: "What's the matter with your clothes?" Met an Assassin? ā
Yuwen Hu told the dungeon how Mrs. Guo was sick and how Xiao Shahua pleaded.
Yuwentai threw Baizi into the jar: "It's really difficult, so filial, go back and let the imperial doctor take a look, if you can treat the doctor, if you can't be treated, it is also the destiny of heaven." What happened to that Rouran man, I didn't ask what the result was, did I? ā
"Yes, uncle!" Yuwen Hu was a little discouraged: "The bones of the Rouran people are really hard enough, and they don't eat the soft and hard!" ā
"You know how terrible the Rouran people are, right?" Yuwentai turned around and saw Yuwenhu hanging his head and patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, look at your disgraced virtue!" Since you can't make him speak, find someone who can make him open his mouth! ā
"Uncle, I've exhausted all kinds of torture, and our Yuwen family's treasures have been used! Who has the power to make this soft man speak? Yuwen Wu was puzzled.
"Go back, that Rouran person won't be tried again. Go get some good wine and meat to serve him, and ask the Shangguan Imperial Doctor to give him a good recovery! Remember, don't treat Mrs. Guo! ā
"Uncle, this is ......" Yuwen Hu didn't understand.
"Do what I tell you to do, I have my own arrangements!" Yu Wentai waved his hand and went to study the score seriously.
"Yes......" Yuwen Hu frowned, his doubts could not be solved, it was really uncomfortable, but he could only retreat and do it.
"Come out!" Yuwentai is slow and straightforward.
From behind the screen, the maid who was sent to follow Yu Jiulu came out, smiling: "Master! ā
"When you go back, the news spreads in the palace, just say that Dugu Xin's wife is seriously ill and will not recover, don't say which lady it is!"
"Slaves obey!" The maid took the order and went back.
As Yuwentai ordered, the news that Dugu Xin's wife was seriously ill and dying in the Otsuka Zaifu quickly spread throughout the palace, and the palace maids and eunuchs all exchanged heads and ears in private.
The news spread like the wind to Zhu'er's ears, and when she heard from the mouth of the palace maid next to her, "Dugu Xin's wife is seriously ill and dying", she grabbed the palace maid, and she didn't care about her words and demeanor: "You make it clear, who is seriously ill and dying, Mrs. Cui or Mrs. Guo?" Where did you hear that? ā
"Miss Julie, we have heard, but we don't know which lady it is. It's just that I know that your family wants to ask for an imperial doctor, but the people of Otsuka Zaifu won't let you! ā
Unconsciously, Ju'er noticed that her cheeks were moist, but tears couldn't help but gush out like two clear springs: "Follow me to Changxin Palace and visit Lu Niangniang!" ā
The eunuch who was carrying the chariot, his legs seemed to be clockwork, and he was running on the way to Changxin Palace, and the anxious Zhu'er urged: "Hurry up, hurry up!" ā
When she arrived at the gate of Changxin Palace, Zhu'er didn't wait for the news, broke in, shouted all the way, and forgot the etiquette in the palace: "Yu Jiulu, Yu Jiulu, you come out!" ā
Since entering Chang'an City, no one has ever called Yu Jiulu's name, and Yu Jiulu, who was resting, heard this familiar voice and hurriedly greeted him from inside. But I saw that the gentle and skillful and knowledgeable Zhu'er in the past, her angry face was like a big red date, and her eyes were like water grapes.
"Sister Ju'er, what's wrong with you? Who annoyed you so much? Yu Jiulu stepped forward to take Zhu'er's arm.
"How did you promise me? He said that he would take good care of my family, but now my mother is critically ill......" Julie hid her face and wept.
The corners of the maid's mouth on the side showed a hint of pride, if Yu Jiulu is not usually so careful and sensitive, but this time he inadvertently noticed the maid's smile, perhaps because he often put the maid away, it has become a habit, Yu Jiulu already knows it.
"Ling Tang is critically ill? How is it possible, when I went to visit a few days ago, Mrs. Cui was not sick, how could she be critically ill so quickly? Reprimanded the palace maids around: "Who is it that is out of nowhere, chewing the root of the tongue?" Don't you understand the rules in this palace? ā
The palace maids were intimidated by Yu Jiulu's majesty and bowed their heads and remained silent.
"Lu Niangniang, don't blame the palace maid, I am here to beg Lu Niangniang this time, no matter what, I have to ask the official imperial doctor to treat my mother!" Juer changed the tone of blame, thinking that it would not be possible to solve the problem if she wanted to hold her responsible.
"I'll send someone to ask for the Shangguan Imperial Doctor!"
"The concubine has the courage to implore Lu Niangniang to personally invite the official imperial doctor, Lu Niangniang's great kindness, and the concubine will repay it!" Ju'er pouted and knelt down to kowtow to Yu Jiulu.
Yu Jiulu helped Zhu'er up: "Sister, don't be like this, I promised my sister to invite her in person." As long as my sister still trusts me, I will do my best! ā
