Chapter 144: Assassination

Probably because my falling water made the chickens and dogs in the palace jump for a while, the queen mother didn't announce my appointment in the past two days, and only sent a large number of medicinal supplements from the palace. Wei Xiang knew about the affairs in the palace, and he also sent someone to send tonics, which made me more sure that the overboard incident was planned by Concubine De alone, but now, I'm afraid that Wei Xiang will also be suspicious of my identity again, right? Yun Zheng forced me to drink the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor to repel cold, but I refused, and then it was Mr. Fu who changed the prescription a little and assured me that it was no major harm to the fetus, so I was willing to take it.

Yun Zheng didn't say anything about my overboard, nor did he let me know what he did, but in the past two days, I could faintly feel some fluctuations in his emotions. He has been spending a lot of time in his study lately, and his face has been getting worse and worse lately, and I forced him to rest, but he only smiled gently at me with a pale face. He would lie down on the couch in front of me, and as soon as I turned around, he got up, which made me angry repeatedly.

Seeing that Yun Zheng was asleep on the couch, I sat for a long time to make sure that he was not pretending to be asleep, so I stood up and walked out of the study lightly. went to the kitchen to look at the medicine boiled for Yun Zheng, and instructed the maid who decocted the medicine to watch the fire carefully, and raised her eyes to see that the cook had made a plate of almond cake and put it on the desk, and said angrily: "Jin Sha wants to eat this sweet thing again?" ”

The cook smiled and said, "Young lady, Miss Jinsha said that it was for Fusheng to eat." ”

"You can help her coax me too." I smiled and shook my head, "I don't know about her girl yet, she has been changing her teeth recently, and if she eats this thing again, she will have a better toothache." ”

The cook smiled "hehe", I picked up the plate of almond crisp, and said with a smile: "I'll take it, and by the way, see if those two little ghosts have a good life." ”

Stepping into the small courtyard where Jin Sha lived, I saw two children listening to Song Fuzi's poems: "...... This song is sad and resentful, and the sound of the flute breaks people's intestines......"

But when he heard Jin Sha say in surprise: "How can people's intestines be broken?" ”

Mr. Song's face turned green, and he couldn't help but explain: "This poem is about hearing this mournful sound of the flute, feeling sad and painful......"

"No matter how painful it is, the intestines won't break...... "Fusheng followed to help, "It's not common sense at all." ”

I couldn't help laughing, Mr. Song's head was full of black lines, he was so angry that he slammed the book, and said angrily: "You two children, why are you so messing around?" ”

I saw that Jin Sha was unconvinced and was about to speak again, so I hurriedly stepped forward with a smile: "Mr. Song." ”

When he saw me walking in, he quickly stood up and saluted: "Young lady." ”

"Sir, it's hard work, let's give them a day off today." I laughed. The two children cheered, and Mr. Song said helplessly: "Yes, young lady, retire below." ”

Seeing that Mr. Song was leaving, Jin Sha ran to me, staring at the almond crisp in my hand with shining eyes: "Sister Hua, did you send me the almond crisp to eat?" ”

"I'm not going to give you this little naughty guy to eat." I sat down with a straight face, "Why are you two deliberately angry sir?" ”

The two little ghosts stuck out their tongues, and Jin Sha stuck to me and coquettishly said: "Sister Hua, Mr. Song's lecture is not interesting at all, it's not as good as the story my sister told me, why don't my sister tell us a story." ”

"If you don't study hard, don't talk about listening to stories in the future, you won't even have to eat almond crisp." I kept my face calm and feigned anger. The two little ghosts were frightened by me, and Jin Sha snorted: "Sister, don't be angry, Jin Sha won't dare to make Mr. angry in the future." ”

"I don't dare." Fusheng lowered his head and quickly admitted his mistake. Fusheng is now studying with Jin Sha in the Hou Mansion. It was said that Aunt Zhou bumped into Wei Xiang in the Hou Mansion, and led Fusheng to the Hou Mansion the next day, but she changed her mind and agreed that Fusheng would come to the Hou Mansion to study. I don't know if it was the shock brought to her by seeing Wei Xiang that made her seriously think about the future of Fusheng. After that, I sent someone to Jeju to inquire about Wei Xiang's life experience, and asked people to keep an eye on Aunt Zhou, and sure enough, I found that Aunt Zhou has often lingered outside the Xiangfu recently, presumably to confirm the suspicion in my heart. I hinted at her surname and reminded her that that person was Wei Xiang, not the lover she had in mind, and that she should not have any hope for him. But he can't make it too clear, after all, Wei Xiang's fake identity can't be exposed now, treat him as "Wei Jinlan", at least when he has an accident, Aunt Zhou's mother and son will not be implicated by him. It seems that Aunt Zhou didn't understand my hints, if she insisted on confirming the identity of Wei Xiang, I was afraid that now he would kill their mother and son, Chen Shimei abandoned Qin Xianglian's mother and son for the sake of wealth, and Aunt Zhou's handle on Wei Xiang was more threatening than Qin Xianglian.

"It's better if you really don't dare." I smiled and handed them the almond crisp, and the two children happily grabbed it, I looked at the two monkeys in a hurry, and couldn't help but smile: "Eat slowly, and no one will rob you, Jinsha, you are changing your teeth, you can't eat too much." ”

"Hmm......" Jin Sha wrapped almond crisp in her mouth and nodded again and again. Fusheng ate a few pieces of almond crisp, and then he remembered something, took out a crumpled piece of paper from his arms, handed it to me, and said, "Sister Ye, this is what my mother asked me to hand over to you!" ”

"What is it?" I'll take it. Fusheng blushed: "I don't know, when I go out today, my mother asked me to hand it over to you after class." ”

I unfolded the paper, and there were a few lines of crooked words written on the paper, presumably written by Aunt Zhou, not many ordinary women in ancient times could read and write, and Aunt Zhou could write a few words, probably taught by the old lover who pretended to be. When I saw those lines clearly, my face changed: "Fusheng, Aunt Zhou gave you this piece of paper, what else did you say?" ”

Fusheng bit the almond crisp and said inarticulately: "My mother told me to listen to Sister Ye in the future, to be well-behaved in the Hou Mansion, and not to be naughty......"

I stood up suddenly, and pulled Fusheng up: "Let's go, go home and have a look." ”

Seeing that my face changed greatly, Fusheng said in a daze: "Sister Ye, what's wrong?" ”

I pinched the piece of paper, my fingertips were a little white, and the paper read: Mrs. Yun, the concubine is blessed, and the fate of Fusheng's mother and son has ended, please Mrs. Yun will take good care of Fusheng for me in the future, and the concubine will be born in the future to repay Mrs. for her great kindness. ”

The carriage galloped all the way, I pulled Fusheng and ran quickly into the alley where the Zhou family lived, pushed open the courtyard door, the courtyard was quiet, and I raised my voice: "Aunt Zhou? Aunt Zhou? No one answered, Fusheng called "mother" twice, and no one answered, I took Fusheng and pushed open the door of the hall, and there was no one in the house. Walking to Aunt Zhou's bedroom, I just pushed open the door, and suddenly saw a pair of feet hanging in front of my eyes, I screamed, and quickly covered Fusheng's eyes, but Fusheng had already seen it, broke my hand hard, and screamed: "Mother......"

Tie Wei rushed in, seeing this, he was slightly stunned, and quickly put down Aunt Zhou, who was hanging on the beam, Yun Qian probed her snort, and said in a deep voice: "It's been a long time." ”

"Mother......" Fusheng pounced, hugged Aunt Zhou, and cried loudly, "Mother, why did you leave Fusheng ......, Mother ......, why did you ......"

I covered my chest, feeling a little breathless, my body shook a little, Yun Qian hurriedly supported me: "Young lady......"

"What about Yun Xun? Let him come to me! I felt cold in my body, walked up to Fusheng, squatted down, "Fusheng......"

"Mother......, mother......" He didn't seem to hear me call him, only hugged Aunt Zhou's body and cried bitterly, Yun Xun walked in, I stood up, walked out of Aunt Zhou's bedroom, stepped into the yard, I whispered angrily: "Didn't I tell you to let people stare at her?" How could it be ...... her?"

"Young lady, the people who are staring at him can only stare outside, and they can't know what is going on in the house." Yun Xun Road. I said in a deep voice, "Has anyone ever been to Zhou's house?" ”

"Nope." Yun Xun said, "But she went to the Xiangfu last night, stayed in the Xiangfu for a long time, and never went out again after coming back." I didn't go to set up a stall this morning, and after sending Fusheng out of the door, I went back to the house and never came out again. ”

"She went to the Prime Minister's Mansion last night?" I bit my lip. Okay, what did you do to Aunt Zhou to make her commit suicide? Such a clever Wei Xiang, I thought that he would kill her after seeing her, but I didn't expect him to be so clever that he actually made her commit suicide!

"Young lady, do you want to report to the official?" Yun Gandao.

"Yes. Let the government come and see if Aunt Zhou really committed suicide. I bit my lip. Yun Xun said: "Young lady, the people from the government are here, I'm afraid it's inconvenient for you to be here, Yun Xun will send you back!" ”

Yes, if Wei Xiang knows that I am involved in Aunt Zhou's case, I am afraid that he will think that I already know his secret, and I really should not stay here, and Aunt Zhou will have to go back to make some preparations after her death. I turned around and went into the bedroom, Fusheng was crying so much that his voice was hoarse, and I hugged him distressedly: "Fusheng, go back to the Hou Mansion with Sister Ye, my sister asked someone to prepare for the funeral of the aunt......"

He shook his head, but he just wouldn't let go of his hand. I sighed: "Yun Qian, you stay here with him, Yun Xun, ask someone to inform the government." Turning my head to look at Fusheng, and seeing that there were no more tears in his eyes, just holding my mother's corpse in a daze, I stood up sadly, walked out of the room, and got into the carriage.

Sitting in the car, thinking of the scene of Fusheng hugging Aunt Zhou and crying bitterly, I clenched my fists, Wei Xiang! Celestial Phase! What did you use to force Aunt Zhou to commit suicide? Is it taking advantage of the love of this infatuated woman, or is it something else? You actually treat a woman who loves you like this, do you still have a surname?

My thoughts were chaotic and my head ached with anger. The carriage shook violently suddenly, and then I heard the sound of the sword struck and the panicked screams of pedestrians outside the carriage, I lifted the curtain, and saw that the four Mai masked people were working together to besiege Yun Xun, the street was chaotic, the pedestrians dodged without a trace in an instant, and the empty street had to Yun Xun and the four Mai masked men fought fiercely, surrounded by a cold sword light and sword shadow, the martial arts of the four people were obviously extremely high, Yun Xun was obviously unable to do it with one block and four, and suddenly, The flickering circle of light opened like a river of stars, shattering into countless fragments and spreading out in all directions. Yun Xun was covered in blood to block those scattered fragments of light and shadow, and said sharply while turning around: "Young lady, drive away!" ”

I snapped back to my senses, climbed out of the carriage, grabbed the reins, and drove the frightened horses to run. Between the lightning and flint, one of the four people had already flashed out, and the long sword in his hand stabbed at me with a fierce sword aura. I felt the sword qi shake open the hair on my forehead, and a strong pressure came to my head, and my whole body was suddenly weak and unable to move. That sword seemed to contain the power to destroy all things, and it stabbed straight into my throat!
