Chapter Eighty-Eight: Enough Trouble
Weakly lowered his hand that stopped in mid-air, and with Murong Zetao leaving, there seemed to be a piece missing somewhere in his heart. She just wants to help resolve the misunderstanding between him and Uncle Bian, after all, it is already an indescribable happiness to have relatives by her side, and this happiness should not be buried by misunderstanding, let alone become pain!
The white horse passed, Uncle Bian was no longer young, and Murong Zetao didn't have much time to spend with him, she didn't want to see him regret his mistakes, she didn't want him to be like herself until he lost it, and he didn't know to cherish it until he lost it, until he couldn't see it again, so he could only rely on memories to remember the past, but he became more and more sad.
But just now, in Murong Zetao's eyes when he looked at her, at that moment, all she felt was strangeness, only a thousand-year-old ice. Maybe he felt guilty about her, maybe he didn't want her to know that he was just a stand-in from beginning to end, or maybe he didn't want his inner secrets to be spied on, so he quickly ran away.
What Xia Xue'er cares about most is not that he treats her as Murong Zerou, but that he only treats her as Murong Zerou. That "I'm sorry" hurt her the most, is there only a false brother-sister relationship between her and him? Can't they really be brother and sister?
A burst of sadness spread in my heart, and I couldn't help but laugh at myself, after all, it was just a stand-in, or was it because of this body, this skin, not because of your soul......
Hahahahahaha~~~
Suddenly, he looked up and laughed, laughing and laughing, tears flowed down his cheeks silently, and he realized how bitter it was to miss him after being separated from his family for thousands of years, and only to know that only blood relatives know him best......
Cuizhu just walked into the garden, and heard a burst of laughter from the sky at a distance of 100 meters from the Qinglian Pond, and listened carefully to suddenly realize that although the voice was empty, it was very similar to that of his own lady, and a sense of unease rose in his heart for no reason, and he lifted the corner of his skirt and ran towards the Qinglian Pond.
As expected, as soon as I arrived at the Qinglian Pond, I saw several maids and maids gathered together, pointing and whispering, and looking up, the person in the pavilion was not Xia Xue'er, but who was it!
I couldn't care much, so I put aside the maids and maids who were watching and ran towards the Bishui Pavilion.
Xia Xue'er laughed hoarsely, but tears galloped wantonly on her little face, and her eyes were full of sadness.
"Miss? Miss! ”
Cuizhu screamed twice and didn't see Xia Xue'er reacting, but there was a tendency to cry more and more fiercely, and she couldn't care about it anymore, so she rushed up directly and hugged her slender body, she was already a few years older than Xia Xue'er, and she was half a head taller than her, and she was holding Xia Xue'er like a sister at this time.
I don't know what kind of suffering she has in her heart, and I don't know what she has experienced during this period, so she can only gently pat Xia Xue'er on the back, while comforting softly, "It will pass, it will be okay, it will be fine......
Suddenly, the person in her arms stopped crying, and after breaking free from the restraints, she looked at Cuizhu with red eyes, the unpredictable strangeness and indifference in her eyes, Cuizhu was in a trance for a moment, blinked her eyes violently, and looked at Xia Xue'er again, but she didn't look at herself anymore, her slender body stood unusually straight, her head was tilted to one place, and there were no tears on her face, the whole pavilion was quiet as if time and space had stood still, as if nothing had happened, Cuizhu couldn't help but wonder if she was hallucinating?
"She took it?"
Just when Cuizhu was stunned, Xia Xue'er suddenly asked. The tone is calm and natural, and his voice is slightly hoarse.
"Huh?" The Cuizhu man was back, but his thoughts were still in shock, and after he reacted, he stammered and replied, "Oh, take it...... Took it. But then he corrected: "No! Nope, no! ”
Xia Xue'er turned her head to look at her with some confusion, did she take it or not?
Cuizhu hurriedly explained: "The second lady just looked at it, and then returned it to the slave maid. ”
Xia Xue'er nodded after hearing this, in this dynasty, it seems that everyone's memory is very strong, and it is estimated that Xia Qiaoyun is no exception, she will never forget it, for her, she really only needs to watch it once.
"The prescription was given to Madame?"
"Here in the slave maid, the lady said that she could rest assured that she would leave it to the young lady to take care of."
"Okay, take it back and put it with the other prescription."
"Yes."
Xia Xue'er glanced up at the sun and commanded softly, "Go back." Then he raised his feet and walked towards the outside of the Blue Water Pavilion. Seeing this, the maids who had just gathered by the Qinglian Pond dispersed one after another, for fear of being caught by Xia Xue'er, although the third young lady of the Xia family was kind-hearted, but after going through so many things, who could be sure that she still had the same temperament as before? After all, nothing like this has happened in more than a decade!
Cuizhu's eyes moved with Xia Xue'er's movements, looking at her back as if nothing had happened, she hesitated at her feet, she was very puzzled in her heart, and couldn't help but shout: "Miss! ”
Xia Xue'er turned her head, looked at Cuizhu who was still in the pavilion with a calm face and asked, "What else is the matter?" ”
Cuizhu hesitated and asked cautiously, "Just now, ...... Are you okay? ”
Xia Xue'er frowned slightly, as if she didn't know what Cuizhu was asking, and replied indifferently after a few seconds: "I'm fine." ”
Cuizhu was still not at ease, so she asked tentatively, "Do you want to ...... Dr. Zhang enters the house? ”
Xia Xue'er didn't have too many expressions, only said, "No." Then he turned his head and continued to walk towards the edge of the pool, as if he was nothing.
"Oh."
Cuizhu shook her head violently, and walked up to follow Xia Xue'er, but she was still puzzled in her heart.
Could it be that Fang Cai is really his own hallucination?
Raising her eyes to look at Xia Xue'er walking in front, her steps are not as solid as before, her body seems to be a little shaky, she has lost her former self-confidence, she has lost her former liveliness, she only feels very lonely, very lonely, like a girl who is alone in the world, helpless, but she has to face this real world, this cannibalistic society......
Suddenly, his pupils contracted, his mouth opened wide, his whole face was full of horror, and he watched as the wonderful figure at the corner of the carved stone corridor lost its support and staggered to the ground, but there was no time to do anything.
"Miss!"
Exclaimed and rushed forward, only to see Xia Xue'er paralyzed on the ground like a push of mud, facing the sky, her eyes slightly open, but there was no trace of brilliance, her eyes were empty, more like an old man on the verge of death, who had already looked down on the warmth and coldness of the world and was only waiting for the final liberation. The blood quickly flowed out of the thick hair, flowing down the left side of her face, Cuizhu trembled and stretched out her hand, but she never dared to touch the bright red blood, she could only watch it stain half of her face red......
"Come on, come on! Help me! ”
A crying cry echoed above the Blue Lotus Pond.
Cuizhu has lost the ability to think, and can only keep calling for help. The smell of blood in her nose was all over her mouth, as if she had returned to the winter night when the north wind was howling, Xia Xue'er was sitting in the study covered in blood, and her eyes were so empty and unfocused......
"Sister Cuizhu, Miss's medicine is ready."
A strong medicinal fragrance awakened Cuizhu's consciousness, how did she listen to Yuxuan anymore, the last memory was that Su Qi descended like a god and took Xia Xue'er away. Her eyes stared at the pale and haggard Xia Xue'er on the bed, and she couldn't help but be afraid for a while.
Turning around, he took the medicine from Dongmei's hand and asked, "Is Young Master Su Qi still in the mansion?" ”
"Young Master Su Qi?" However, Dongmei didn't know what she was asking, and replied, "He hasn't been here!" ”
Cuizhu frowned slightly, she clearly remembered that it was Su Qi who took Xia Xue'er away, and now the young lady was lying in Tingyuxuan, but how could Dongmei not know that he had entered the mansion?
"How did Miss come back?"
"Oh, Miss was carried back by Sister Xianglan, don't you remember?"
"Pandan?" Cuizhu muttered in a low voice, but then looked at Dongmei with a casual face, and smiled weakly and said, "It's okay, you go down and get busy first, just leave it to me here." ”
"Wait!" As soon as Dongmei walked away, Cuizhu suddenly asked, "Has Dr. Zhang entered the mansion?" ”
"I have already sent Xiao Wu to invite, he said that the door of Rende Medical Center is closed, and I heard from the neighbors that Dr. Zhang went home to visit relatives, and he was not in the city for a few days."
Cuizhu frowned after hearing this, since it is not a prescription prescribed by Dr. Zhang, then this medicine cannot be drunk casually, in case someone takes advantage of the situation, it will be troublesome, after all, Xia Qiaoyun has just received Bai Yining's prescription for Zhuyan, and this is the case with Miss here, if she really plans to use that prescription to deal with Miss, then this is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity! So he raised the bowl in his hand and asked, "What is the medicine?" ”
Dongmei doesn't know what's at stake, she just thinks that Sister Cuizhu's words seem to be very much today, and even a bowl of medicine has to be investigated, will anyone use this medicine to harm Miss? But after thinking about it, I feel that Sister Cuizhu's suspicions seem to have some truth, since falling into the water, Miss has been sick several times, and now she is taking medicine every day, but she is not getting better! It stands to reason that people who practice martial arts are physically strong, if it weren't for someone making trouble, how could they be where they are today?
So he patiently replied: "This is fried according to the recipe that Miss drank before, and Miss Wanqing said that she could drink it after checking the pulse, but a few new healing herbs were added to it." ”
"Okay, I got it." Cuizhu nodded thoughtfully, Miss Wanqing's father is a generation of famous doctors, the tiger father has no dogs, and Miss Wanqing is estimated to be not far behind. It's just that the relationship between Miss Wanqing and Miss Second seems to be quite close, and Miss Wanqing is alone with Miss Wanqing. ”
As soon as the words fell, before Dongmei could speak, a voice came in, although it was soft, but it was obviously angry:
"You can't trust me? Do you think I'm going to do my tricks in the medicine?! ”
Dongmei and Cuizhu instantly felt their backs stiffen, and this voice was ...... Zhao Wanqing! Turning around, I really saw Zhao Wanqing leading the maid to rush in angrily, changing her gentle and virtuous appearance in the past, a handsome and fair little face rose slightly, and two beautiful eyes with big copper bells stared at Cuizhu tightly, only telling her not to dodge.
Cuizhu was not in a hurry, first bowed down respectfully, and then said: "Miss Zhao, you are too worried, the slave maid has no other meaning, but Miss's prescription has always been kept as a backup." ”
"You asked Dongmei so much, isn't it because you're worried that I will secretly murder your young lady! I'm cousins to her, so how could I want her to die? ”
"Miss Zhao is too worried, the slave maid has no such intention!"
Cuizhu didn't believe Zhao Wanqing, originally just to save a bottom, and wait for Dr. Zhang to take a look at him after returning to the city, so as to change his peace of mind. But now that she is so sensitive and excited, how can she be completely free of suspicion? Besides, Miss Zhao has only been to the Xia Mansion twice, either at an age when she doesn't know anything or when the young lady is not often in the Mansion.
Let's just say this time, although she lives in Tingyuxuan, Miss is the deputy valley owner of the Netherworld Valley, and she doesn't have more leisure time than ordinary people, either going out early and returning late or going for a few days, while Miss Zhao and Miss II are basically together every day, making appointments to enjoy flowers, listen to music, play the piano, paint, and become a female celebrity...... If it is true, the friendship between her and Miss is not as deep as that with Miss Er!
And as far as she knows, Miss Zhao has been in love with the second young master for three years, and she has not been pitied by the second young master, and it is well known that the second young master is better to the young lady than the old lady to the young lady, and it is difficult to guarantee that she will not be resentful because of jealousy!
I don't blame myself for thinking about her like this, it's really a bit of a self-confessing look.
Zhao Wanqing saw that Cuizhu only said that she was too worried, but there was no sincerity on her face and in her heart, and her heart was even more angry! Three or two steps stepped forward and overturned the medicine bowl in Cuizhu's hand, "Since you are suspicious, then don't drink it!" ”
Because of the excessive force, the wide sleeved robe shook Cuizhu a big ear scraper, and the medicine bowl in her hand also flew out, and it happened to hit Xia Xue'er on the bed, only to hear a muffled sound, the medicine was all spilled, Xia Xue'er fell into a coma, and did not cry out in pain.
And this scene happened to be bumped into by Xia Xing, who came in a hurry, and he was angry in his heart, and regardless of the identity of the other party, he directly yelled: "What are you doing!" ”
Everyone in the room was frightened by Zhao Wanqing's actions, and after hearing Xia Xing's voice, they were even more surprised, and knelt down one after another, Zhao Wanqing was already three souls who scared away the seven spirits, and she also realized that her actions had hurt Xia Xue'er, but she was proud but she refused to admit her mistake.
Xia Xing had already taken three steps and made two steps to Xia Xue'er's bed, and hurriedly wiped the decoction on Xia Xue'er's face with his sleeve, fortunately, the medicine was only warm, otherwise this little face would definitely be burned! Even so, he was still very angry, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhao Wanqing slapping Cuizhu and spilling the medicine on his sister's face!
picked up the small glass bowl from the bed, turned around and fell in front of Zhao Wanqing!
"Have you made enough trouble?"
