Chapter 021: Xu Da's Secret
"How so? How could it be! Su Xin shook her head painfully, and suddenly knelt down and crawled in front of Ah Xiu's bed, "Madam! You can figure it out! Don't let him die! The iron pillar is still small! Ah Xiu frowned tightly, but still couldn't hold back the tears that flowed wantonly;" Su Xin, what I can do for him, has already been done. If it weren't for the face and iron eggs, I wouldn't let them out, the prince knew, and he couldn't keep him! Now there are only you and me here, although I come from the next generation, I know a little bit about what others don't know, but it is the mud bodhisattva who crosses the river and is difficult to protect! ”
Just as she was about to say more, Ying'er at the door reported to the door: "Princess, Xu Xiangguo asks to see the princess." The two people in the room were startled, and Ah Xiu hurriedly pulled Su up, wiped away his tears, and then forced himself to calm down: "Please Xiangguo!" "Listen to it outside, let Xu Dalai in. Xu Da was already worried, and when he came in and saw Su Xin, he was stunned, and then saw that although Ah Xiu didn't apply makeup powder, he still had tears in his heart, so he was suspicious in his heart, but he just came in and saluted according to the rules.
Su Xin hurriedly stood aside and hid, Ah Xiu called into Ying'er, ordered her to prepare tea fruit, and asked Su Xin to move the chair for Xu Da for herself, Xu Da nodded and thanked Su Xin, so she sat down generously, and when Ying'er served the tea fruit, Ah Xiu still let her go out to serve. "Princess, Xu Da doesn't know if there is something to say." Xu Da glanced at Su Xin and said to Ah Xiu.
Ah Xiu saw Su Xin and smiled slightly: "Although Xiangguo said bluntly, this girl is okay." Xu Da hesitated again and again, and made up his mind to kneel down: "The princess atoned for her sins, because the prince took care of her every day, Xu Da never had the opportunity to ask for sin." This time the princess was assassinated, Xu Da has an unshirkable responsibility! Ah Xiu was stunned: "What does Xiangguo mean by this?" ”
"Madame must have heard that this time there were four assassins, but in fact there were three, and one of them was me." Xu Da's face flushed, "I thought I could protect the princess in time and wipe out all the thieves, but it was still slow, and my wife was stabbed twice, Xu Da should die!" Ah Xiu was surprised: "How come?" This confuses me, get up, I don't like kneeling around like this, you sit down and talk slowly! ”
Xu Da thanked him, but he still couldn't afford it: "The first time Mu Ying chased the assassin, I happened to see a thief running to the street in front of my house, so I caught it, only to know that it was the assassin, the thief saw that he was caught, and he was about to bite his tongue and commit suicide, so I plugged his mouth, and then Mrs. asked me to check, so I concealed the situation, asked the one in the yamen, thinking that I had figured out the reason for the assassination, so I killed him according to Mrs. will, and then sent a letter to Mrs. ”
"The more I thought about it, the more suspicious I became, and I tortured me again. After three days and three nights, he said that their master wanted to vote for Zhang Shicheng, and someone proposed to assassinate the prince, but the master thought about it again and again, temporarily changed the hexagram, asked them to assassinate the lady, and drew the figure in the house for them. I just thought that the one who killed the mouth in front of me was wronged to die, because they said that when it was time to do it, it was the one who killed the mouth who couldn't bear it temporarily, and it was only after knocking out the lady that he startled the snake. ”
Xu Da sighed when he said this: "It's a pity that I acted recklessly and mistakenly killed the one who saved Mrs. in front!" Ah Xiu was also very surprised, he didn't know that there were so many waves in it, listening to Xu Da's meaning, that Shuimen soldier was dedicated to protecting the master, which was equivalent to saving himself, but he died for his master. sighed in his heart for a while, felt that he still seemed to have doubts, and asked Xu Da to get up again and continue. Xu Da took the order, sat on the chair, but shook his head and sighed: "I know that I killed the wrong person, and I was busy promising the good future of the assassin in my house, so he said that he is not dead now, although he startled the snake, he will still come again, so I asked him where he met and what day he was assassinated." ”
"I secretly told Tang He, dispatched the guards in the house, told them, and when I met with the thief, he would come to arrest us, and asked him to keep it secret. When it was all right, I seduced the masked man and asked him to join the joints and bring out the rest of the men. He hesitated to go, as if the leader of it was very good, and only refused to teach me how to pretend to be him. I had no choice but to pretend to be him and cover my face, and let Tang and the people arranged for me to let me in and hide. When I was connected, they became suspicious, and left me and rushed straight to Madame's room, and when I rushed into the room at the first call, I had only time to unload the force of the second sword, but the princess had already fallen to the ground. ”
Speaking of this, Xu Da was ashamed, "The princess atoned for her sins, Xu Da was too light of the enemy!" "And you will make amends for your sins. Ah Xiu waved his hand again and again: "There is no need to be like this, you and I are both future people, there is no need to be so polite in private, besides, I am just a woman, and now I am not really dead, Xiangguo really doesn't have to be like this." After thinking about it for a while, seeing Su Xin's pale face, he said helplessly to Su Xin: "You also listened, do you still insist on continuing to follow him?" This kind of man, if he doesn't stab the prince, he probably thinks that the prince is his uncle, but he wants to use my head to make a deal with Zhang Shicheng! In his eyes, I am no longer her stepmother, just a woman who can be used as a bargaining chip! How could he ever take care of you and me?! ”
With a plop, Su Xin knelt down, and her last bit of hope was dashed. "Let's talk about how you came out, Xiangguo is not an outsider, you tell me your plans, we can only do our best to listen to the destiny of heaven and try to help you." Ah Xiu comforted: "In ancient times, all the people who were affectionate were men, no matter how wronged you are, it is just a mirror." The word power is much heavier than us! ”
Su Xin was already soft on the ground, and it took a long time to raise his head and say: "I just ask Mrs. to read that Su Xin has served Mrs. for many years, and read it for the sake of the iron pillar is still small, and finally forgive him this time!" Su Xin is willing to fight for his wife! With that, he suddenly stood up and slammed into the wall. Xu Da reached out to pull it, although he only pulled the clothes, but fortunately cushioned Su Xin's momentum, and only broke the flesh on his forehead.
"You foolish boy! What does this do? His sin is his, and what has it to do with you! Doesn't you make me feel even more chilled like this?! Ah Xiu pounded the bed angrily and scolded, "Wenzheng is already so angry, what can you learn from such a father after you die?!" You fool! I'll forget if you're angry or dead! Su Xin also cried, outside Ying'er heard that there seemed to be a noise inside, let Xiaohong watch the door, the others retreated farther away, slowly pushed the door in, covered the door, entered the bedroom, saw two standing on the ground, the princess trembled and wept angrily, and hurriedly stepped forward to stroke Ah Xiu's back while frowning and said to the two:
"I'm also a slave, but I have to say something unruly: the princess is only getting better now, and the doctor doesn't allow the princess to go down to the ground to suffer the wind, how can she be so angry?! Xiangguo, Mrs. Governor! Even if you don't feel sorry for the minions, you can understand the princess's body, the blood she vomited is still here today, how can she provoke the princess to be so angry! Ah Xiu slightly fixed his body, not so shaking, and asked Ying'er: "You said a fair word, Xiangguo is okay, just this innocent hate!" Who's guarding the door now? Tell them not to come in! ”
"Don't worry, princess, only Xiaohong is guarding the door under the steps, and the rest of me rushed to the opposite corridor." Ying'er replied carefully, and seeing that Ah Xiu was not trembling very much, she got up and poured a glass of water for Ah Xiu, and then stood up and moved chairs for the two on the ground and said, "If you have anything to say, sit down and say, how can the princess lie down when she sees you standing?" Xu Da nodded and looked at Su Xin, who had no choice but to sit down. Xu Da sat down at this time.
"Ying'er, go to my cabinet and take the carved bamboo tube I often bring, and put the medicinal powder in it on Su Xin's forehead! It's heart-wrenching to watch. Ah Xiu shook his head and said. Ying'er was ordered to take the medicine powder, but because she was annoyed that Su Xin was angry with the princess, she only handed the medicine powder bottle to Su Xin and did not apply it to her. turned around and wanted to help Ah Xiu lie down, but Ah Xiu shook her head, and only let Ying'er take the soft pillow of Su embroidery pressed petal peony to cushion her back and lean on the bed.
Su Xin stared at the porcelain vase in his hand, and did not say a word, his eyes were scattered, Ah Xiu finally couldn't bear it, and said: "Don't worry, I and Xiangguo are as you want, if you think of our old relationship now, don't twist it, put it on." Ying'er, don't be annoyed by your plain sister, she is just confused, you go and help her comb her hair, it looks distressing. ”
When Ying'er saw Ah Xiu say this, she also obediently took the makeup of the small leaf rosewood gold thread with the colorful butterfly wearing the pattern. I opened the bride and took out the grate and shavings, and took out a special small oil lamp and a shavings jar. Su Xin didn't dare to let her serve, and wanted to come by herself, but Ying'er lightly pushed her hand away, lit a small oil lamp by herself, put the lamp stand and a small bowl on the oil lamp, and poured a little water into the small bowl. When the water is hot, Ying'er uses thin tweezers to take a piece of coagulation shavings, put it in a small bowl and soak it in hot water.
After the shavings oozed viscous liquid, they waited a little longer, turned off the lights, took a handkerchief and poured the liquid from the small bowl into the shavings vat to make shavings water. In the effort of drying the water, Ying'er took a suitable comb, re-combed Su Xin's hair, and then dipped it in shavings water with a small pick, put it on Su Xin's hair, and picked up the temples and the back. took the makeup and other things, and came back to beat Ah Xiu's legs.
Ah Xiu's mood was also slightly settled at this time, and when she saw that Su Xin had eaten Ying'er's soft nails, she sighed and said to Ying'er: "What are you angry about?" Su Xin is just confused, and she hasn't made any mistakes, so why give her a cold face. Ying'er lowered her eyebrows and agreed, but said with a light smile: "Princess, Ying'er is a fool and doesn't understand so much, I just can't see others making the princess angry." Ying'er is stubborn, but she is not like others, and she doesn't remember her master when she gets married! ”
Ying'er's words were soft and hard, and after listening to him, Su Xin's heart rose early, and Xu Da also coughed lightly in embarrassment. Ah Xiuyi frowned, and pointed at Ying'er's forehead: "It's nonsense again!" Is it true that everyone in my room is so eloquent?! Don't talk to death, I'll point you to any kid tomorrow! ”
"I'd rather cut my hair and get married than get married. Isn't it good to let Ying'er follow the princess for the rest of her life? Why let the bearded eyebrows be tainted, Ying'er doesn't like it! Ying'er explained anxiously.
