Chapter 8: Be Blind or Not Blind
"Liangyuan, you have shed a lot of blood, and your clothes have been stained a lot, let's change your clothes, right?" Silk Tong was so frightened that she covered her mouth and was at a loss.
Wen Rao shook her head, and just asked, "I just asked you to find someone to talk to Gao Lu's father-in-law, did you go?" ”
"I went, and the man said he would bring it." Silk hurriedly assured.
"Well, that's good ......" Wen Rao leaned on the head of the bed, her eyes darkened.
"Liangyuan, what should I do if the imperial doctor can't help it, if you continue to flow like this, you will die." Silk Tong's eyes were red.
Wen Rao heard her cry, but she didn't have the strength to answer her, the blood in her hands kept flowing, and she even felt a little cold.
Wen Rao's consciousness gradually sank into darkness.
She didn't regret doing this, the people of the Wen family never took her seriously, and it was because of this that they gave her such an opportunity.
She could have forced them to return their things, but that was not her intention, she wanted the Wen family to disperse, and they had to pay the price.
Dingle –
Wen Rao seemed to hear a crisp crashing sound, which was the sound made when the two small moon beads she liked to play with most when she was a child collided with each other, and the dingding was very crisp.
But it wasn't hers again, because she had given it away a long time ago.
There was a sudden pain in her hand, and Wen Rao opened her eyes suddenly, and saw that a pair of hands were pierced with silver needles.
"Liangyuan, don't be reckless." This man's voice was very good, clear and clear, like the flow of a small stream.
"Who are you?" Wen Rao asked.
"Xie Heng is a doctor." The man replied.
A trace of astonishment flashed in Wen Rao's eyes, and she didn't speak again.
"Liangyuan is not a physique that bleeds endlessly." He said suddenly.
"Maybe you got something on your hands." Wen Rao replied.
He was stunned and stopped talking, but waited a little longer and put away the silver needle.
"The bleeding has stopped, I just need to eat something to replenish the blood." As he spoke, he raised his eyes and glanced at Wen Rao, his eyes were clear, and he said, "Liangyuan take care." ”
Wen Rao only felt that the glance was very familiar, and she was still stunned.
Sitong walked in with a basin of water, and saw that Wen Rao had woken up, and looked at her a little timidly.
"What's wrong?" Wen Rao wanted to touch her face, but found that her fingers were wrapped in bandages and were a little bloated.
"Liangyuan, are you okay?" Silk Tong snorted.
"It's okay, by the way, why don't you see the emperor?" Wen Rao was immediately disappointed when she thought of this.
Sitong suddenly trembled and said, "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, he has just been here. ”
"Could it be that he just glanced at it and left?" Wen Rao asked.
"Yes, but the slave and maid can't say it, in short, the emperor really only glanced at it, and that glance was so infiltrating that the slave and maid didn't dare to breathe." Silk Tong is difficult.
"How can there be such exaggerated eyes." Wen Rao said angrily.
Seeing that she didn't believe it, Sitong just pouted, "Liangyuan, you see that the clothes on your body have been changed by the slaves." ”
Wen Rao lowered her head, and she was really ......, "Didn't you say it, you don't have to change it?" ”
"But the emperor said that the clothes were stained with blood, which was unlucky, and the slaves and maids should be burned." Silk said.
"He's afraid of blood?" Wen Rao understands it this way.
Sitong seemed to be stunned when she heard her say this: "Oh, no wonder the emperor froze when he saw you, that face was as if he had been frozen, and his eyes were like two ice picks, and after being stiff for a long time, he just asked the slave maid to take off your clothes and burn them, scared, the feeling is afraid of blood?" ”
She laughed to herself again, as if she knew some terrible secret.
"Shut up, the emperor's affairs are up to you and me to discuss." Wen Rao reprimanded.
Sitong stuck out her tongue when she heard this, and stopped talking.
"Your Majesty, he really doesn't have anything else to say?" Wen Rao was a little unwilling, which was too far from what she thought.
"No, the emperor was standing at the door, so far away from you, probably scared away by the blood on your body." Silk Tong muttered.
Although Wen Rao was disappointed, she was helpless, if it was really the emperor's heart was unpredictable, didn't she really do too much?
She sighed slightly, looked at her hands, and her mind was turning.
It was night, and the wound on my hand began to hurt.
Wen Rao endured and endured, and always refused to call people, for the same reason, just because she was to blame.
It was she herself who had used medicine on her hands to make her bleed.
This powder seeped into the blood, and the pain penetrated into the flesh.
"Hmm......" Wen Rao bit her lower lip, a little unbearable, she was most afraid of pain, at this moment her fingers were like a splint, and the pain made her eyes moist.
She endured and endured, and finally couldn't help but want to bite the bandage open with her teeth, she handed her hand to her lips to look for it, and finally found a knotted place and pulled it hard, but the tighter and tighter it became, it seemed to strangle the wound, and Wen Rao smelled a faint fishy smell again, which was much more comfortable.
She held the strip of cloth in her mouth and continued to pull, and the more blood flowed, the more comfortable she became.
But a cold voice suddenly sounded in the darkness, so frightened that she almost bit her tongue.
"Open your mouth."
Wen Rao paused, calmed down and listened, there was not even a sound of breathing around, and the sound seemed to be an illusion.
But she was so frightened that she didn't dare to move.
When she tried to move again, a hand suddenly grabbed her chin, and with such force that she opened her mouth, and the saliva bandage was taken away.
"I told you to open your mouth, are you deaf?"
The voice was the same as just now, only with a little more anger.
Wen Rao was so frightened that she stammered: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why are you, why are you here?" ”
"Why am I here? Are you weird? If I'm not here, do you want to die tonight? Qi Yao's tone was calm.
When Wen Rao heard this, she suddenly became aggrieved: "The concubine doesn't want to die." ”
When she saw that the figure beside the bed did not move, she moved her buttocks and leaned towards the bed, crying while hugging his narrow waist.
"Your Majesty, the concubine didn't make it bad."
Qi Yao suddenly sighed, raised his hand to lift her, hugged her horizontally, and asked, "You were bullied?" ”
Wen Rao felt that there was a drama when she heard his tone, so she hurriedly rubbed in his arms and said, "Why don't you light the lamp?" ”
"No, they all say that you see beauties under the lamp, the more you look at them, the more beautiful they become, I don't want to be confused by you." He snorted.
Wen Rao froze when she heard this, and she didn't know how to answer.
Qi Yao suddenly stood up with her in his arms, walked straight to the window, opened the window, and sat her on the windowsill, "The moonlight is very bright tonight, what do you think?" ”
The moonlight poured out like water, Wen Rao stretched out her hand, and the moonlight immediately plated her hand with a layer of shining light.
"Your Majesty is wrong, looking at the beauty under the moon is the more you look at it, the more beautiful it becomes." Wen Rao smiled.
Qi Yao suddenly grabbed her hand, "Don't move." ”
Wen Rao was stunned, but saw him take out a porcelain bottle, gently pour it in his palm, knead the ointment, and then rub her fingers together with both hands like kneading noodles.
"It hurts......" Wen Rao whispered.
"Well deserved." Qi Yao didn't raise her head, she rubbed both of her hands in a daze, and then wrapped them in bandages again, and Wen Rao strangely found that her hands didn't hurt anymore.
"Is this Dr. Xie's medicine, it's really wondering." Wen Rao praised.
Qi Yao was noncommittal, and without saying a word, he just wanted to take her down and put her back on the bed.
Wen Rao wanted to please him, so she hugged his neck and didn't let go, wanting to kiss him, but she didn't want her to kiss a hand, which also pressed her head heavily on the pillow, making her suddenly stunned.
"Who hit you in the face?" Qi Yao rubbed lightly on the side of her face.
Wen Rao was finally discouraged, and many of the disguises and cries originally prepared were omitted, and the concise and clear registration words: "Ning's." ”
"Why provoke them?" Qi Yao paused, and asked like this, obviously having already investigated.
Wen Rao was silent, and said for a while: "How are Wen Wan's eyes?" ”
"I heard that I still can't open my eyes." Qi Yao said.
"Do you know why?" Wen Rao asked.
Qi Yao didn't speak, as if he was waiting for her to follow.
"Because the concubine splashed her face with tea, the tea tasted weird, and the concubine didn't dare to drink it, so she forced the concubine to drink it, and the concubine splashed it on her face." Wen Rao narrated it so simply.
Qi Yao suddenly smiled, "So she did it herself?" ”
"The concubine doesn't know." Wen Rao said in a sullen voice, "Your Majesty is not going to give the concubine the master?" ”
Qi Yao paused and said, "Let's talk about it." ”
Wen Rao's heart was cold when she heard this, in her eyes, it was indefinite.
She turned over in disappointment, her eyes closed, and when she opened them again, it was already three poles old, and there was no one around her.
Sitong pinched the time just right, and came in with washing water, and Wen Rao had just woken up.
"Sitong, where is the emperor?" Wen Rao asked.
Sitong put down the basin and said: "Why did Liangyuan suddenly ask this, the slave maid hasn't made a special trip to inquire, maybe the emperor is still in Qianxin Palace." ”
"But......" Wen Rao was about to ask, and suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Silk Tong was puzzled.
Wen Rao shook her head: "It's nothing, it's that I'm thinking too much." ”
In Wen Rao's eyes, this matter is an introduction, and in the eyes of the Wen family, it has become a tricky matter at the moment.
Mrs. Ning and Wen Wan were at Wen Ru's place, with tears and snot, and they were sad.
"What kind of evil do you say our Wen family has done, there is a daughter like her, the maid is only fifteen years old, it is the age of Ruhua, the doctor said that the eyes are not cured, what should I do in the second half of my life?" Mrs. Ning was really sad, and when Wen Wan entered the palace at the moment, she also covered her eyes with white silk.
"Sister, I don't want to apologize to Wen Rao, she hurt me like this, I want to find the emperor to seek justice." Wen Wan hid her face, wanting to cry but not daring to cry.
Wen Ru heard this, her face was sad, and she said, "She didn't mean it. ”
Mrs. Ning's eyes widened angrily: "Ru'er, do you still have a conscience, look at her, she is your sister, she is going blind now!" ”
Wen Wan was pushed forward by Mrs. Ning, and Wen Wan threw herself into Wen Ru's arms and cried: "Sister, you are Concubine Mei, and she is just a little good lady now, sister, I don't want to apologize to her, she is not worthy!" ”
Wen Ru looked at Wen Wan in her arms, then at Mrs. Ning, and sighed helplessly.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Mei of Junchen Palace asks to see you."
Qi Yao was reviewing the twists and turns, and when he heard the words, he pushed the twists and turns again, and said, "Xuan." ”
Wen Ruben came with the idea of giving it a try, just because when Qi Yao was handling official business in Chengde Palace, he was rarely willing to see the concubine.
At this time, Gao Lu invited her in, and she was somewhat flattered.
"There is Father-in-law Lao."
Wen Ru was polite and followed Gao Lu into the hall.
In the hall, Qi Yao was leaning on a chair, kneading his eyebrows.
Wen Ru wanted to salute him, but when she saw him like this, her mind changed, so she stepped forward, pressed her hand on his forehead, and gently kneaded it for him.
Qi Yao was not alarmed, but just let her rub it for herself.
"Is there any better?" Wen Ru asked.
Qi Yao stretched out his hand to hold her wrist, made her movements pause, and said, "I'm not good, but the place that was touched by your little hand suddenly became comfortable, you say, have you made a great contribution?" ”
Wen Ru's fingers were held by him and couldn't be pulled out, and she couldn't help blushing.
"It's good if you like it." Her voice grew lower.
Qi Yao suddenly approached and hooked the corners of his lips: "My waist is also a little sore, I'm afraid I'm going to bother my concubine." ”
Mrs. Ning in the other place waited left and right and didn't come to Wen Ru, and looked at Wen Wan, a little anxious.
"Mother, why hasn't my sister come back yet?" Wen Wan asked.
Mrs. Ning was also depressed, "Why don't we go back first, and wait until your sister delivers the letter home?" ”
"That's good, it's noon, and I'm hungry." Wen Wan complained.
Mrs. Ning took her by the hand and was about to go out, but the person at the door suddenly stopped them.
"What are you doing here?" Mrs. Ning said angrily.
"Father-in-law Gao Lu has instructed that Mrs. Ning and Miss Wen must meet Wen Liangyuan before leaving." One of the guards said.
"Heh, ridiculous, why should we listen to a father-in-law's words, let me come quickly, otherwise when my daughter Concubine Mei comes back, I won't be able to spare you!"
The guard was unmoved, standing there as if he were a stone sculpture.
Mrs. Ning stepped out of the door with one foot, only to see a white light flash in front of her eyes, and when she looked again, it was actually a sword across her chest, which frightened her into taking a few steps back, and fell to the ground with an invisible Wen Wan.
"Mrs. Ning, if you want to leave, you must first meet Wen Liangyuan." The guard repeated the words again, and the bright sword light reflected Mrs. Ning's face pale.
At noon, Sitong and the palace people had a meal for Wen Rao, Wen Rao moved her hands, felt unwell, and then gave up.
Sitong picked up the dishes for her, "Liangyuan, I'm afraid your hands can't move now, let the slave serve you." ”
"Hmm." Wen Rao is not entangled, Sitong is a greedy girl, and she can always pick delicious dishes to feed her.
"Liangyuan." Lin'er hurriedly came in, and when she saw that Wen Rao was about to eat, she hesitated a little and said, "Mrs. Ning took Miss Wen and said that she wanted to see you." ”
"Now?" Wen Rao twisted her eyebrows.
"They're waiting outside the door." Lin'er said.
"It's really hateful, Liangyuan don't see them, I frightened the slaves and maids yesterday, you don't know how hideous Mrs. Naning's expression was at that time." Silk Tong said hatefully.
Wen Rao patted the back of her hand and said with a smile: "I didn't see it yesterday, it's a pity." ”
Seeing that she was still in the mood to laugh, Sitong couldn't help pouting, but she said again: "It's boring and tight at the moment, and it's okay to see you again." After that, she turned her eyes to look at Lin'er, and Lin'er understood and invited the two in.
"Concubine Ning's family visits Wen Liangyuan." Mrs. Ning's face is three points darker than the bottom of the pot, no matter how bad she is, she is also the wife of the prime minister, even if Murong Ju saw her in the previous dynasty, she had to give three points, and the humiliation she suffered today made her arrogant almost explode.
Sitong took a green vegetable and handed it to Wen Rao's lips and fed Wen Rao to eat.
Wen Rao chewed slowly, not in a hurry.
Mrs. Ning knelt on the ground, her eyes almost bursting into flames.
No one spoke in the room, and there was silence for a while, but fortunately, Wen Rao's meal was small, so she didn't let them wait too long.
Sitong fetched water to rinse her mouth, and Fang ended the meal.
"Liangyuan, Mrs. Ning is here." Lin'er prompted aloud.
Wen Rao lowered her eyes, as if she had just seen the two of them, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Ning, get up." ”
Mrs. Ning tightened the corners of her lips and helped Wen Wan to get up.
"Wait." Sitong beside Wen Rao suddenly spoke.
Mrs. Ning paused.
"Mrs. Ning, what our master said was 'Mrs. Ning get up', but he didn't call Miss Wen to get up." If it is said that it is difficult to get up people, Sitong is not very old, but she has also been made difficult to gain experience.
"What do you mean?" Mrs. Ning raised her eyebrows and looked at Wen Rao.
"Mrs. Ning, the slave maid knows that you are a member of the Ning family in Shangzhou, and your cultivation is obvious to all, but Miss Wen seems to be a little ignorant when she first arrives, and it is understandable that she is young and does not understand the rules, so the slave maid thinks that she should learn the rules." Sitong said, "Only Mrs. Ning asked Liangyuan for peace, and the slave maid suddenly thought of the situation under which the daughter did not have to ask for peace when this woman brought her daughter into the palace, and there was only one situation when I thought about it." With that, a wicked smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Mrs. Ning glanced at her, only to hear her say: "The slave maid thinks that when a woman enters the palace with her daughter who can't take care of herself with feces and urine, naturally only one person will salute." ”
Wen Rao choked in her throat and didn't make a sound.
Wen Wan heard the words as if she was ashamed and humiliated, her eyes widened angrily, she was pampered at home, and no one had put and urine in front of her for fifteen years...... His face, which was originally flushed with anger, suddenly turned pale, and he couldn't even speak.
"You...... Bold, how can a slut like you break your mouth! Mrs. Ning wanted to teach her a lesson, but there was no one around, so she just wanted to catch up with her in person and reward her two mouths.
"That's it, Silk, you stand down." Wen Rao sighed slightly and commanded.
Sitong said it vigorously, and when she turned around and saw that there was no approval in Wen Rao's eyes, she couldn't help but stick out her tongue and retreat to the side.
"Mrs. Ning came to see me, why did you come to see me?" Wen Rao raised her eyebrows and looked at the two of them.
Mrs. Ning thought of her intentions at this time, and thought of the big knife blocking the road, and she only felt that the world was spinning for a while, but Wen Wan was still by her side, but she had to hold on: "If you return to Liangyuan, the woman is here to apologize to you......"
"Mother, don't apologize to her!" Wen Wan suddenly interrupted her words, and then turned her head to Wen Rao and said: "You are really a slut, you actually colluded with the eunuch, and you are not allowed to leave with your mother, I will sue the emperor!" ”
Wen Rao looked at Wen Wan funny, and she didn't stop it, but she saw that Mrs. Ning gave Wen Wan a backhand slap, and Wen Wan's white and tender face quickly turned red.
"Shut up!" Mrs. Ning suddenly realized that this was not the former court, and here, if someone grabbed half a word wrongly, she was afraid that she would cause trouble.
Wen Wan covered her face, she was wronged in her heart, and she couldn't help sobbing anymore, she should have been weak, but she was ruthless, just like Mrs. Ning's hideousness.
Wen Rao was a little tired of listening to the crying and making noise below, sat up straight, swept her eyes over the two of them, and said, "Mrs. Ning, this time, I just ask you, is Wen Wan's eyes harmed by me?" ”
Wen Wan's sobbing stopped.
Mrs. Ning thought of Wen Wan's eyes, and her heart ached: "Yes, it is precisely because of your cup of tea that Liangyuan's eyes are damaged." ”
Wen Rao got the answer, raised the corners of her lips, smiled triumphantly, and then her face turned cold in an instant, and she slapped the table suddenly, "Ning, this cup of tea was brewed by your Wen Mansion, and the tea was already cold when I splashed it, how could it hurt Wen Yan's eyes, this tea is so harmful if I don't drink it, if I drink it, wouldn't it be a life?" ”
"You're talking nonsense, I only put pepper and sand in that glass of water......" Wen Wan blurted out the words.
Mrs. Ning was startled, and hurriedly covered her mouth, but before she could speak, Wen Rao interrupted them again.
"Oh? Do you have any proof that that's what you're talking about? Wen Rao smiled.
"Liangyuan, have you forgotten jì? The tea was splashed on Miss Wen's face, and there is no evidence for a long time. Silk added.
"In this way, the evidence is Wen Wan's eyes, I heard Mrs. Ning say that Wen Wan's eyes have been diagnosed by a famous doctor, and they have been strict to the point of being blind?" Wen Rao asked.
"It's not ......" Mrs. Ning suddenly realized the severity of the matter, and hurriedly defended, but was interrupted by Wen Rao again.
"Mrs. Ning, but if Wen Wan's eyes are not blind, then it is the crime of bullying the king, so you have to think clearly." Wen Rao said quietly.
Mrs. Ning's legs weakened and she fell to her knees.
She is not stupid, think about the cause and then think about the consequences, no wonder Wen Rao constantly provokes people to her and confuses her thoughts...... It turned out that this was a trap set by Wen Rao from beginning to end!
If Wen Wan is blind at the moment, it means that there is a problem with the tea, then it is the crime of murdering the harem concubines, and even the prime minister may not be spared in the whole house, but if she is not blind, it is the crime of bullying the king, and the Wen family will also suffer. One step forward is a deep cliff, and one step back is a mountain of bloody blades.
Wen Rao, such a poisonous scheming!
