Chapter 042: Catching Cicadas
After Lu finished drinking the medicine, Tong Xue hurriedly handed over a plate of candied fruit.
After using up the medicine, Tong Xue and Lu went to visit Tong Shuang in the home remedies.
Tong Shuang's breath was gentle, but there was no sign of waking up.
Lu looked at He Yongchan with a worried expression and said, "I don't know when Xiuxiu will wake up?" ”
"Xiuxiu's pulse is stable, although there are still some weak diseases, as long as you take medicine to recuperate, you will definitely recover, as for when you wake up" He Yongchan said this, paused slightly, according to Tong Shuang's pulse, she should have woken up, but she was obviously in a coma.
She is also a little unclear about this phenomenon.
"I'm not sure. Why don't you invite the imperial doctor in the palace or Doctor Mo from the Rejuvenation Hall to take a look. ”
Lu nodded, and the two sat with Tong Shuang for more than an hour, because the eldest princess of Yuanjiang planned to recruit a son-in-law after her eighteenth birthday, and set the location at Lu's racecourse, so General Weiyuan's wife has been quite busy in recent days.
General Weiyuan's wife learned that Tong Shuang's life was fine, but she didn't know when she would wake up, and she let go of most of her heart, so she asked her henchman to go back to her house, moved all the precious medicinal materials used in the warehouse, and comforted Lu again, and then left to leave.
"If you need help, although my sister sent a girl to report a letter, although my legs and feet are a little inconvenient, it is not a problem to prescribe a prescription to boil medicine." Before leaving, He Yongchan took Lu's hand and said.
"Well, Sister He should also pay attention to her body and get better sooner."
The Lu family sent General Weiyuan's wife to the gate of the Hou Mansion, and then returned with Tong Xue.
"Does Ah Jin have something to say to his mother?" On the way back to the Rising Sun Hall, Lu looked down at Tong Xuedao.
Tong Xue nodded, helped Lu Shi to sit down in a pavilion in the garden outside the second gate, and ordered Cai Lan to take out the handkerchief hidden in his sleeve, unfold it, and spread it in front of Lu.
Lu's face was surprised, "This is?" ”
Tong Xue motioned to Cai Lan to briefly describe the matter.
After Cai Lan finished speaking, she continued: "The mother's fetus is extremely important, so the child became more and more careful, let Cai Lan take out part of the out, went out of the house to find a few Lang Zhong, identify the ingredients in the medicine, and the three Lang Zhong who were looking for all decided that there was an extra morning glory in this fetal medicine." ”
When Lu Shi heard this, his expression became solemn.
Although she didn't know what morning glory was, it was obviously not a good thing that there was an inexplicable extra herb in the fetal pill.
And its intentions are self-evident.
Lu's right hand couldn't help but caress his lower abdomen, and his left hand touched Tong Xue's cheek and said, "Ah Jin has really grown up, thanks to your alertness this morning, I poured out the bowl of medicine." ”
Tong Xue did not show a smug look because of the praise, but told the two girls who chewed their tongues in the morning, and Jade appeared halfway to punish the two girls instead of pearls.
Lu Shi never expected that the two most powerful girls around her were involved in this matter.
Regardless of whether it is a pearl or a jade with different intentions, their goal is probably to focus on Tong Jingxuan's aunt position.
If she really miscarried, it is very likely that her whole body will be severely damaged, and she will not be able to get pregnant in the future, so these two girls, no matter which one they are, may be arranged by her to make a room for Tong Jingxuan in the name of the Hou Mansion.
"Ah Jin suspects that there is something wrong with the jade and pearl?" Lu looked at Tong Xue and asked.
At the beginning, Tong Xue was indeed suspicious of pearls, because she understood medical science, and her mind was delicate and exquisite, this kind of secretly adding a medicine to the medicine, causing the illusion of an unstable fetal position and slippery fetus, no matter how you look at it, it is very similar to what pearls do, on the other hand, jade, is also a big girl next to Lu's side, no matter her appearance or talent, she is much inferior to pearls, and it is not eye-catching.
However, the deliberate rumors that were unfavorable to the pearl in the house, and the clear face in the dream, because all the spearheads were pointed at the same person, made her feel unreal.
This qiē is like a misfortune. 、
As for who hid behind the tree, being the cicada catcher, fantasizing about taking advantage of the fisherman, Tong Xue had a vague conjecture in his heart, but he had not yet found a trace of evidence.
"I don't know." She bowed her head obediently.
"You've done a good enough job." Lu took Tong Xue's hand and got up, and the mother and daughter returned to the Rising Sun Hall together.
Lu Shi opened the warehouse first and asked Pearl to check the medicine bag he bought yesterday, and there was anything abnormal.
When sending off the guests just now, Lu did not bring two big girls with him, so he was a little puzzled by the pearl face, and he suddenly had to check the medicine bag for some reason.
However, she didn't say anything, so she opened the medicine bag and looked at it.
Immediately after, her complexion changed suddenly.
"Madam, morning glory has been added to this medicine! Morning glory is a cold thing, pregnant women should not use it! Pearl's voice was unusually sharp, which showed the eagerness of her expression.
Lu nodded and asked her, "Can you detect anyone suspicious?" ”
"How does Madame feel? Do you feel unwell? Pearl stared at Lu's stomach nervously.
Lu shook his head, "Fortunately, Ah Jin happened early, and I didn't drink the herbs with morning glory seeds. ”
Hearing this, Pearl hurriedly stroked her chest, and her heart seemed to be in place.
Like Tong Xue, she mentioned that she accidentally bumped into two girls chewing on the root of their tongues in the morning.
"Jade, what do you think?" Lu suddenly opened his mouth and asked Jade, who had been hanging his head and was silent.
"Mrs. Hui, the slave maid thinks that she should find out first who has entered the warehouse and has the opportunity to come into contact with the fetal pills, and use their hands and feet in them."
The two of them answered very reasonably, and they couldn't tell who had the problem for a while.
And the people who entered the warehouse yesterday, except for a second-class girl who was in charge of boiling medicine this morning, and the girl who sent her mother to take care of Tong Shuang, etc., if they really check one by one, they will be implicated in a wide range of cases, and no one will see it, no one will admit it, it is really a big move, it will inevitably cause panic in the house, and rumors are spreading.
The Lu family decided to investigate the rumors spread by the two girls first.
So he ordered the girl to go and bring the two spilling girls there to him.
"The sin of the slave and the maid, the slave and the maid should not chew the root of the tongue when sprinkling and sweeping, please punish the lady!" After the two girls were brought in, they knelt down very neatly and asked the Lu family for their guilt.
"If you make it clear about the rumors, you can take it lightly." Lu sat on the circle chair with a relaxed demeanor and looked at the two of them.
"It was made up by the slave maid to scare Yingmei!" Among them, the eldest girl kowtowed a few times on the ground, and said with a resolute face.
