Chapter 209
This prescription, this herb, is not simple. Mu Qingge was even more sure in his heart, this Chen girl really couldn't be an ordinary person.
was about to put it away, but Mu Qingge found something strange again. In this medicine bag, there is a very strange taste of medicinal herbs.
This kind of medicinal material, called "Qian Xuan", in the land of Dajin, there are still very few such medicinal materials growing. It mainly grows in the north, Mu Qingge knows this kind of thing, and the last time he went to Jincheng, he heard Doctor Ji mention it. Doctor Ji said that this kind of "Qianyu" and another herb called "Qianyu" can be easily confused. Because the two are not only similar in name, but also in length. But their efficacy is far from the same. "Qianyu" is a good medicine for repelling insects, while "Qianyu" is the favorite of poisonous snakes. This is also the biggest difference between the two herbs, that is, the fragrance is different. Mu Qingge put "Qian" in his hand, and many thoughts turned in his heart. According to common sense, those who can know this prescription cannot be ordinary people. Then she should be clear about the difference between these two herbs, so as not to confuse them. However, in the medicine bag given by Miss Chen, it is obvious that "Qianyu" is put into "Qianyu".
If Miss Chen was careless, or she didn't know it at all, then she had been using this medicine bag for so many years, didn't anything unexpected happen? But if it's not careless, if it's not unknowing, what is it? That can only be done on purpose. The question is, what is the purpose of Miss Chen's deliberate replacement of "Qianyu" with "Qianyu"? "Akane" can attract poisonous snakes, so does she want her own life? It seems that Miss Chen has no reason to do this. First of all, she has no grievances with her, and looking at the situation during the day, she is also quite enthusiastic about herself, and there is no reason to hurt herself so much. But, at the same time, this is a fatal doubt, why should Miss Chen be enthusiastic about herself? It's entirely possible that you just want to lower your guard.
Mu Qingge held the medicine bag, unable to make up his mind, unable to guess Miss Chen's thoughts. Could it be that it's just because I've been in this cold palace for a long time, although it looks quite normal on the surface. It's actually crazy. You don't need a reason to kill people at all?
"Miss, is there something wrong with this medicine bag?" After Dongyu and Dongxue eased up, they saw Mu Qingge holding the medicine bag there in a daze, and asked puzzledly. "I want the slave to say. That Miss Chen and her girl. It's weird, maybe it's not a good person, and. There's something strange in this yard too...... Miss, don't use this medicine bag, right? ”
When Mu Qingge heard the voices of the two, he came back to his senses and said with a smile: "It's okay, this is really just a deworming medicine bag, don't think about it." ”
Dong Yu and Dong Xue also knew Mu Qingge's medical skills, and they didn't doubt her words. Hearing Mu Qingge say that it was okay, he didn't say more.
Mu Qingge didn't say anything about those medicinal herbs to Dong Yu and Dong Xue, and they didn't understand it anyway. Taking advantage of the time when the two girls went to boil hot water, Mu Qingge picked out all the "Qianjian" in the medicine bag and burned it on the fire. Although this kind of thing is poisonous, it is afraid of fire, and after it has been burned, it loses its medicinal effect.
The three of them had nothing to do, so they rested early, and the medicine bag given by Miss Chen was placed at the door by Mu Qingge. In the dead of night, Mu Qingge couldn't sleep, she was brought to the cold palace like this, and she didn't know what the situation was like for Princess Rou'an, and I didn't know what the situation was for Shang Qirui. I don't know how long I have to stay in this cold palace, and I don't know if I have a chance to go out. I don't know who Miss Chen is, why she wants to harm herself, and whether Emperor Shang Jing has ulterior motives...... Everything is unknown, and Mu Qingge naturally can't sleep, but when he first saw that the two little girls were very scared, Mu Qingge asked the two of them to build a bed in their own room, and the three of them slept in one room. Take care of each other and strengthen each other's courage. Therefore, for fear of making noise with the two girls, Mu Qingge never turned over, did not make a sound, just lay quietly, as if he was asleep.
In the middle of the night, Mu Qingge was drowsy a little, but suddenly heard a strange bird call. In such a situation, Mu Qingge's heart was naturally extremely vigilant, and his sleepiness immediately disappeared. Maybe it's because the cold palace really has its own murderous aura, so in this cold palace, it's actually difficult to see living creatures, birds or something, and it's almost impossible to see it. What's more, this time should not be the time for birds to chirp. Suddenly screamed twice, which seemed very abnormal.
Mu Qingge was hesitating to get up and see if there was any movement outside. But when he heard the winter rain and winter snow on the other bed in the house, he also woke up and got up quickly.
"Miss?" Dongyu called Mu Qingge very softly, not like he was calling someone, but as if he was testing whether Mu Qingge was asleep.
Mu Qingge's heart moved, he didn't agree, and adjusted his breathing, trying to look as long as possible, as if he was asleep.
"Let's go, Miss must have fallen asleep early......" Dongxue said to Dongyu in a low voice.
"Hmm." Winter Rain let out a yes from his nose, and the two of them quickly walked to the window and jumped out of the open window. The movement was like a smooth flow, without the slightest sound. Mu Qingge felt that if he hadn't been awake, he would have never found them out. What are these two going out to do so late? And he went out without himself. Obviously, the bird call just now is not a real bird call, just a kind of code, right?
The two girls went out as soon as they heard the bird's call, obviously familiar to them. Then, most likely, it is cold. However, what is the situation of Qing Leng to explain the winter rain and winter snow, just come and tell them directly? Why do you have to sneak up on them at night?
Mu Qingge didn't know martial arts, and she didn't even bother to get up to take a peek. Because Mu Qingge knew very well in his heart that it was impossible to be so imprudent when doing things coldly, even if he wanted to peek, he couldn't see anything. However, this night, the winter rain and winter snow went out for a long time, and it took about an hour or so to return.
After the two came back, they first went to Mu Qingge's bed to observe, and found that there was nothing abnormal. Back in their own beds. Mu Qingge could hear that neither girl was asleep, although probably because she was in this room, she didn't dare to talk. But Mu Qingge could hear that they were turning over and moving all the time, obviously not asleep. Before, because of that haunted legend, two people who were scared like that could still fall asleep, but now they can't sleep because they come back from a trip, which can't but be said to be a very strange thing. Obviously, Qing Leng gave them a task that made it difficult for them, and that task. Probably it's related to yourself, right? Mu Qingge smiled bitterly. I haven't done anything terrible, why can't I live a peaceful life?
The next day, Mu Qingge woke up very early, or he didn't sleep much at all that night. The two girls, Dongyu and Dongxue, got up when they heard Mu Qingge. also hurriedly got up. Mu Qingge looked at the obvious tiredness on the faces of the two of them. Smiled and asked, "What?" Didn't sleep well last night? ”
"Nope. There is no ......" The two of them lowered their heads, not daring to look at Mu Qingge's eyes, but they didn't mention the matter of going out last night.
"Don't be really scared by the legendary ghost, right?" Mu Qingge continued to ask.
"Something that doesn't have ...... Maybe it's just that I'm not used to it......" Dongyu finally glanced up at Mu Qingge. I smiled too, but still didn't mention going out last night.
"That's good." Mu Qingge didn't ask anymore, the reason why she asked was to give the two of them a chance. After all, the three of them said yesterday that they should trust each other and rely on each other for their lives. Of course, Mu Qingge also understands that the two of them promised themselves yesterday that if they can say it, they will never hide it. But now, they don't want to say it, so it means that they can't say it. If I ask again, it will be boring. Anyway, here, there are enough dangers, don't care about anything more. Just be careful, these two people are people who serve you closely, and if you really want to do something, you probably won't be able to escape.
"The slave went out to see if the food had been delivered...... "Dongxue will not hide her feelings more than Dongyu, and she rushed out. Mu Qingge couldn't help but feel a slight sour in his heart, if there was nothing to do, Dongyu would not be like this. She looked so ashamed, and she clearly felt that she couldn't help herself, so it was not difficult to imagine that the orders given to them by Qing Leng were obviously not good for herself. Mu Qingge didn't say anything in his mouth, but he had secretly left a little more in his heart.
The food delivered in the morning was still good, and it hadn't changed in any way because of the cold arrival last night, so it seemed that their plan was probably in secret.
"Set the table in the yard, I still like to face the sun." Mu Qingge motioned to Dongyu and Dongxue to get the dining table into the yard, in the early morning, the sun was not yet strong, even if it was sunburned, it didn't matter.
As soon as the table and meals were set, Miss Chen came over with a small amount and swagger, looking very invisible, and said with a smile to Mu Qingge: "It's still Miss Mu who is smart, eating like this, how tasteful, it's a pity that I haven't known it for ten years...... Miss Mu doesn't mind if I sit down and eat together, right? ”
"Of course I don't mind, Miss Chen, please." Mu Qingge ignored Dong Yu and Dong Xue's expressions of wanting to stop them, and smiled and asked Miss Chen to sit down. On the other hand, Xiaoxiao's attitude also seemed a little nervous, and it was obvious that Xiaoxiao was also distrustful of himself. Mu Qingge couldn't help but feel funny, these girls were all vigilant people.
"I really trust Miss Mu's Hongfu ......" Miss Chen was obviously not impressed by the politeness of "sleeping without eating and drinking", and said to Mu Qing while eating, "I haven't eaten such a hearty breakfast in ten years......
Mu Qingge's heart was slightly sour, and he changed the topic: "Miss Chen's words are serious, speaking of which, I should thank Miss Chen, if the girl hadn't given me that medicine bag last night, I would definitely be harassed by those bugs......"
Mu Qingge paused deliberately, Miss Chen raised her head and quickly glanced at Mu Qingge, and said with a smile: "That's not a big deal, it's just a gesture." ”
"Miss Chen, has she used that kind of medicine bag to repel insects all these years?" Mu Qingge also smiled back and asked.
"yes, what's wrong?" Miss Chen asked innocently.
"There's nothing wrong with that, I'm just curious, if you've been using that kind of medicine bag to repel worms all these years, how did you survive?" Mu Qingge was still smiling, and even said while eating, as if he was just saying "Today's food is really delicious".
However, her words made Miss Chen's hand pick up the vegetables. Then he quickly raised his head and stared at Mu Qingge. Several other people didn't quite understand what Mu Qingge meant, but they also felt that Mu Qingge's words were a little wrong, and they all looked at the two of them in surprise and confusion.
"What do you mean?" Miss Chen saw that Mu Qingge was still concentrating on eating, and finally couldn't help asking.
"Miss Chen, don't you understand what I mean?" Mu Qingge stopped, wiped his mouth, and was still smiling, "Then what are you nervous about?" ”
"I'm not nervous." Miss Chen suddenly smiled, as if she was really not nervous, "I just think." You seem to have something to say. ”
"Miss Chen is so unhappy. Then I'll have to make it clear. Mu Qingge still said very calmly, "In the medicine bag that Miss Chen gave me, there are herbs that can attract poisonous snakes...... You even said that it was used to repel insects? I think. It's meant to kill you, right? ”
Mu Qingge said this. Dongyu and Dongxue were so frightened that they almost fainted. Hurriedly leaned towards Mu Qingge, and it seemed that he had the urge to make a move. Even Xiaofu on the side glanced at his master with a surprised gaze.
"What? Miss Chen, don't tell me, you don't know? Mu Qingge saw that Miss Chen didn't speak. Asked again.
"I admit it." Miss Chen suddenly smiled and admitted it directly.
Mu Qingge smiled slightly, not very surprised. The other girls, some angry and some surprised, were dumbfounded. I have never seen such a harmful person, and when others asked, they actually consciously admitted it.
"Refreshing!" Mu Qingge laughed, since he didn't ask anymore, he picked up the chopsticks and continued to eat.
Dong Yu and Dong Xue were watching in a hurry, and they didn't understand, under such circumstances, how could Mu Qingge still be able to eat? However, Mu Qingge is the master after all, she didn't say anything, and the two girls in Dongyu and Dongxue didn't dare to call the shots.
And Xiao Fu was on the side, looking at Mu Qingge for a while, and then at Miss Chen, obviously a little uneasy, but he didn't speak.
Miss Chen was also a little confused by Mu Qingge's reaction, seeing that Mu Qingge was calm, she simply didn't speak, comparing her endurance with her.
The table was instantly calm again, the two masters ate quietly there, and the three palace maids stared at each other. The atmosphere is obviously very harmonious, but it makes people feel weird in the bottom of their hearts.
"How did you find out?" When the meal was finished, Miss Chen couldn't help it anymore and asked first.
Mu Qingge's smile deepened again, and he still said lightly: "I remember, I sued Miss Chen yesterday, right?" I'm a healer, and I'm pretty good at medicine......"
"But, that kind of herb ......" Miss Chen paused, as if hesitating to continue.
"Winter rain and winter snow, you guys pack up your things first, and Miss Chen and I will go over there for a walk." Mu Qingge said suddenly, but he wanted to catch the winter rain and winter snow and leave. And the intention is so obvious, obviously people can't help but think, is it that Mu Qingge actually didn't mean that?
Dongyu and Dongxue didn't expect this, and they were stunned for a moment, but Dongyu reacted first, and said cautiously: "But, miss, this Chen girl obviously wants to harm you, how can you stay alone with her?" ”
Dongyu obviously doesn't intend to give Miss Chen face, and she is not afraid of Miss Chen, but if Mu Qingge is a word, she still has some scruples.
"Don't worry, I'm not stupid, others want to harm me, does it mean that I really don't know anything if I don't say it? Don't worry, I know in my heart, it's not so easy to deceive. Mu Qingge said very seriously.
As if talking about Miss Chen, Dongyu and Dongxue glanced at each other, but they were inexplicably a little panicked. Obviously, Mu Qingge didn't know about what happened last night, but the two of them had the feeling that Mu Qingge was talking to them. Moreover, last night, Mu Qingge knew that there was something wrong with the medicine bag, but he didn't tell them. And today, Mu Qingge wanted to talk to Miss Chen, and deliberately separated the two of them. Let's not talk about other purposes, at least it shows that Mu Qingge doesn't trust the two of them. Both Dongyu and Dongxue are inevitably a little sad in their hearts.
When Mu Qingge opened her mouth to open the winter rain and winter snow, Miss Chen was a little surprised, but then she regained her calm.
Seeing that Dongyu and Dongxue were staying in place, she really didn't dare to follow, Miss Chen said to Xiaofu very "kindly": "Xiaofu, you also stay and help the two girls, you don't have to follow." ”
Xiaofu's face changed, but under Miss Chen's warning eyes, he didn't dare to speak after all, but reluctantly responded: "Yes." ”
After speaking, he felt uneasy, and couldn't help but admonish: "Girl, don't go far." ”
It's such a big yard, how far can it go? But Xiaofu is really not at ease, Mu Qingge's appearance is too strange, look at this woman who looks like she is locked up in the cold palace? Eat and drink every day, and come out to bask in the sun when you have nothing to do, it's like you're here to play, where is it like you're here to be punished? Moreover, she didn't go to so many places in this cold palace, but she came to this courtyard, saying that she had no other purpose, and Xiaofu didn't believe it if she was killed. However, there is only one master in this courtyard, Miss Chen, Mu Qingge's purpose, who else can be besides Miss Chen? Moreover, looking at Mu Qingge's appearance, he really has some ability. That medicine bag, she can actually find out that something is wrong, this medical skill is really not a little powerful. According to Miss Chen, Mrs. He couldn't argue about the "beauty" of the medicine bag. But Mu Qingge is young, is he really more powerful than Doctor He? It's incredible. Therefore, in the case of almost no understanding of Mu Qingge, Xiaofu really didn't worry about letting Miss Chen follow Mu Qingge alone. However, Miss Chen spoke, and she didn't dare to resist, so she could only be in a hurry.
"Miss Chen's prescription, I don't know where you got it?" Mu Qingge and Miss Chen walked a little farther away, and did not leave the sight of the three girls, Mu Qingge took the initiative to ask Miss Chen.
Miss Chen looked at Mu Qingge for a long time, and did not answer her question, but asked rhetorically: "Why do I think that Miss Mu doesn't seem to trust your own handmaid very much?" ”
"It's not that I don't trust ......" Mu Qingge smiled and said casually, "I'm just worried about you, Miss Chen, and suddenly you used some means to frighten them......"
"Am I scared of them?" Miss Chen snorted lightly, "I can't thank you for not flying out in the middle of the night and frightening me." ”
Mu Qingge's eyes flashed slightly, so to speak, Miss Chen also knew a little bit about what happened last night. At least, she knew that Dongyu and Dongxue had gone out.
"Miss Chen has lived alone in this haunted cold palace for almost ten years, how can she be so timid?" Mu Qingge didn't admit or deny Miss Chen's words, but just diverted the topic, "But I was really scared by Miss Chen's ruthlessness last night, and I told me during the day that someone finally came to accompany you, but at night you were ruthless to harm me, is it too much for you to do this?" ”
"Look at what I said, look at you, isn't this still standing in front of me in a good manner? Where is it that hurts you? Miss Chen snorted, with a bit of a taste of laipi, "I'm just kidding, I know you'll be fine." Didn't you tell me? Your healers are amazing......"
"Is this a joke?" Mu Qingge shook his head helplessly, "If I'm a little negligent, I might die...... Don't fight with me, what's the purpose, don't say dark words in front of the Mingren, let's just point directly, it's boring to beat around the bush......"
"Okay, refreshing......" Miss Chen clapped her hands suddenly, as if she really admired Mu Qingge, "Then I'll say it directly......"
Miss Chen paused, but still asked a question: "Can you sue me first, how did you find out that there was a problem with that medicine bag?" That kind of thing, you shouldn't have seen it......"
"Yes, that kind of thing, in the capital, probably can't really be seen." Mu Qingge narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was reminiscing, "However, I haven't always stayed in the capital to live. ”
"And where else have you been?" Miss Chen seemed to be surprised, how could an eldest lady like Mu Qingge have been to other places? Aren't they supposed to be at home, without leaving the door?
"I ...... I've been to the battlefield once, that kind of thing, it's something I've seen in the soldiers' camp......" Mu Qingge hesitated slightly, and told the experience on the battlefield that he had never told others. (To be continued......)
