Chapter 65: The Use of Poison
At the moment when the wanderers were everywhere and people's hearts were uncertain, the Wei Mansion held two happy events in a row. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info first Xiao Cui next to Aunt Qin married Wei Dongkang's personal servant Sixi. A month later, Ruyue, who was next to Wei Yan, married one of Yu Wenrui's guards. Wei Yan personally purchased the dowry and bid farewell to Ruyue, who had been with her for eight years.
After Ruyue and the guard saluted in a small mansion in the capital, they were sent to a boat bound for Liuzhou, saying that they were serving their elderly parents in a distant country on behalf of their newlywed husband.
Ruyue sat on the boat, tears streaming down her face.
She didn't know if Dr. Qin could accept her, and she didn't know how Miss would live without her. Huang Ying has only been in the house for a short time, and she can't even find Miss's clothes and accessories, what should Miss do? What about her?
On the day of farewell, Wei Yan did not go. She hid herself in the room, holding the pillow embroidered by Ruyue herself, and cried until her liver and intestines were broken.
It was the last time she cried before the storm hit.
……
It has already entered autumn, because of the riots of the surrounding people, the imperial court has suppressed it several times, and the people in Beijing are panicking. As soon as everyone fell asleep that night, they received news from the palace that the emperor, who had been in a coma for several months, had woken up and urgently summoned Wei Dongkang to the palace for deliberations.
For three days, Wei Dongkang never returned. Cui's heart was uneasy, and he sent someone to the palace gate to investigate.
Sixi came back to tell that the other courtiers were also left in the palace.
Cui's mood was a little settled, and he sent someone to inform the old lady, and as usual, he was at home and presided over the feed.
In the afternoon, Lian'er hurriedly ran over and shouted: "Madam, Aunt Cai woke up in the afternoon, and she didn't even recognize the slave maid and the second lady, begging Mrs., send someone to invite Dr. Zhang to come!" ”
Cui Shi was taken aback, how could a good person suddenly become so sick?
Cui's immediately sent someone to ask for a doctor, and he took someone with him to visit Biyun Pavilion in person.
There were many people outside the small building, and when they saw her coming, they retreated in a sneering manner. Cui Shi walked into the small building and saw Wei Yan standing in the hall, on the couch in the room, sitting Aunt Cai with a cloak, Wei Jiang knelt at her feet, crying into tears.
"What's going on? The medicine that Dr. Zhang prescribed last time, did it not improve after taking it? Choi asked. Aunt Cai's eyes were blank, and there were words in her mouth, but people couldn't understand what she was saying.
"Mother!" Wei Jiang cried, "I don't know what kind of medicine Dr. Zhang prescribed, my aunt not only didn't get better after taking it, but on the contrary, she became more and more sick!" Ask my mother to find another doctor! ”
Cui Shi said: "Jiang Niang, don't worry, the illness comes like a mountain, the illness goes like a thread, there is always a process." This doctor was introduced by Mrs. Pei, a famous saint in the capital, and he can't be wrong. Don't worry, when he comes, there will be a way to cure your aunt. ”
Hearing the words "Mrs. Pei", Wei Jiang was disgusted for a while, and he was a little more suspicious of that doctor.
Wei Yan looked at Aunt Cai on the couch, her godless eyes, dull demeanor, and weak limbs were clearly distinguished, no different from when her mother was seriously ill.
At that time, Wei Jiang did not have much contact with his mother, and the Cui family had not yet married, and the only people who knew about his mother's illness were a few old slaves with Wei Dongkang and Mrs. Wei. Old Madam Wei was busy taking care of the Qin family, and Wei Dongkang was not in the mansion...... Even if they are there, she is not worried about anyone being suspicious, not afraid of someone being suspicious! She just made those who had hurt their mothers taste the same pain.
It's not her who is wrong, and it's not her who should be weak-hearted!
Therefore, she stepped forward to hold Wei Jiang's hand, conveyed her concern very sincerely, and stayed by her side, waiting for Dr. Zhang's arrival, waiting for Dr. Zhang to announce the cruel fact that Aunt Cai was no longer curable.
In Wei Jiang's desperate crying, another three days and nights passed, and Wei Dongkang still did not return. One after another, courtiers came out of the palace and returned to their homes, only Wei Dongkang, like a stone sinking into the sea, without a trace.
Old Madam Wei couldn't sit still, she asked Wei Yan to enter the palace with the Yuwenrui gold medal to find out the situation.
At this moment, she has forgotten that her granddaughter is still the daughter-in-law of the Xu Mansion in name.
Wei Yan was not surprised, she had long understood that her grandmother had never cared about her reputation at all.
Wei Yan rode in a carriage and drove to the palace gate.
Because of the rampant party, she hasn't gone out for a long time, and Yu Wenrui hasn't come to look for her recently. She didn't go into detail, whether he was still angry with her, or was busy with political affairs and didn't have time to leave the palace, he didn't show up, but she was happy.
In front of the palace gate, she helped Huang Ying's men get out of the car, holding the gold medal, and only glanced in the direction of the palace gate, and then froze in place.
Her gaze crossed over the heavy figures and landed on a thin and tall figure.
The man turned around and saw her at the end of the crowd.
The hustle and bustle of the crowd and the chaotic carriages and horses could not stop them from staring at each other.
In the crowd, they recognized each other at a glance. Eyes are connected, entangled, and inseparable.
He walked towards her, step by step, still as he had been yesterday, stepping on her heart, startling a violent heartbeat.
"Miss Wei." He called.
"Xu Gongzi." She said.
He caught a glimpse of the gold medal in her hand, smiled bitterly, and said softly, "Please come with me." ”
And she followed him.
Huang Ying didn't recognize him, and called out loudly in the back, "Miss, where are you going?" ”
She looked back and smiled: "Huang Ying, wait for me in the car, don't worry, this is Xu Gongzi......"
Turning into an alley, he turned around, and before he could speak, she had already thrown herself into his arms, calling out, "Xu Lang, Xu Lang......"
His whole body stiffened, and after a long time, Fang sighed, hugged her back, and persuaded softly, "Let people see it, it will damage your reputation......"
As he said this, he reluctantly let go of his hands, resting his chin on her head, and sniffing the fragrance in her hair greedily.
"Xu Lang, it's good to meet you!" She smiled like a child.
"Sister Yan......" he sighed, sighed again, the lovesickness in his heart was indescribable. He had already said goodbye to her, so why bother to provoke her and make her sad again?
At this time, there was a cough around the corner, and Wei Yan could hear that it was Gai Lingwei. He was reminding her that Yu Wenrui would not allow her behavior at this moment.
Xu Yuqin let go of her arms, held her hands, and asked softly and in a low voice, "Sister Yan, how are you doing?" ”
"I'm fine. What about you? Xu Lang, you have lost a lot of weight. She raised her eyes and looked at him carefully. His cheeks were sunken, his eye sockets were sunken, and his court clothes looked a little loose when he wore them on his body. made Wei Yan can't help but think of the sentence "Shen waist Pan sideburns to wear......
Although he did not see the white head, the brilliance in his eyes had long been dimmed......
He smiled: "Sister Yan, I'm busy with chores and I don't eat well, you don't need to worry." ”
She nodded, "Xu Lang has his own measure, and he doesn't need me to say much." She looked at him, and she knew what she couldn't say, and he understood. Between them, a look is worth a thousand words.
"Sister Yan, are you here to find Master Wei?"
"Yes, does Xu Lang have news of his father?"
"Sister Yan......" He wanted to speak and stopped, but she didn't urge, just waited for him to continue.
"The emperor has recovered from his illness." He said, "It turns out that there are a large number of hallucinogenic drugs in the immortal medicine of Danyuan Zhenren, and if you take it for a long time, people are easy to fall asleep and become confused......
Wei Yan's heart shrank suddenly, and he was easy to fall asleep...... Sleepy again......
