Chapter 54: Do it yourself
Fifty-four, do it yourself
The two of them were talking and it was dinner time, Wei Ling helped Huo Mei out to eat, in fact, the injury on Huo Mei's shoulder had already healed for the most part, except for some weakness and some pain when he raised his arm, the wound had already healed. But Wei Ling still looked cautious, for fear that something was going on with the wound on her shoulder, so Huo Mei was recuperating in the room these days, and she didn't even step out of the door.
"My injuries are healed, I don't need you to feed me." Wei Ling smiled noncommittally, but the movements in his hands did not stop.
"I'm waiting for a few days, waiting for Mr. Xiahou to say that your hand can be forced, and you won't stop you from doing anything."
Huo Mei's protest was refuted by Wei Ling again, so he could only obediently open his mouth and swallow the food he fed into his mouth, halfway through dinner, the housekeeper Lao Liu came to the study, without Wei Ling's approval, he didn't dare to go in rashly, so he could only stand outside the door and reply.
"General, the housekeeper of Sima Mansion is here, saying that he is looking for the young lady!" Wei Ling was a little surprised, and when he turned his head to look at Huo Mei, he found the splendor rising in her eyes, and he understood that Huo Mei must have done something Huo Zheng would appear in the General's Mansion.
"Do you want to see you?" Wei Ling asked tentatively, in fact, he also wanted to know what Huo Mei was doing.
Huo Mei pondered for a while, she knew that Huo Zheng came to give the antidote to the tattoo on Huo Jun's shoulder, when the antidote was given, Huo Mei gave ten days' weight, and today is the last day, if Huo Jun does not have the antidote at noon tomorrow, then the poison on the tattoo on the shoulder will attack, and if you don't take the antidote within half an hour, the tattoo will fester, even if Huo Jun will not reveal his identity, but once the tattoo is gone, there will be ugly scars on his body, which is no different from ruining her.
"Let him in! I'm changing my clothes and seeing him! After saying that, Huo Mei went back to the room and prepared to change into the civilian clothes on her body, and as soon as she took off her coat, she saw Wei Ling holding a light blue Confucian skirt to change into her, and by the way, she combed a simple falling horse bun, even Huo Mei had to admire, the dignified General Wei could comb his hair so skillfully, and there was no clumsy shadow of a man's family at all.
Huo Zheng was led to the front hall of the general's mansion to wait, half an hour later Huo Mei and Wei Ling appeared in the front hall, all the way Huo Mei was tightly protected in Wei Ling's arms, it seems that the young general seems to love the second lady, undoubtedly still shocked Huo Zheng a little.
Seeing that the master had already walked into the front hall, Huo Zheng respectfully bent down to salute, "The old slave greets the second lady, and the uncle greets!" ”
"Uncle Zheng doesn't have to be polite, is there anything important to come to the General's Mansion so late?" Huo Zheng looked up and secretly glanced at Wei Ling, and slowly took out a bamboo slip from his sleeve robe and handed it to Huo Mei.
Huo Mei took it and looked at it, and there were two words engraved on it: antidote! With a faint smile, Huo Mei handed the bamboo slip to Huo Zheng again, "Uncle Zheng went back and told my mother, the things she wanted were not easy to find, I would send someone to Sima Mansion early tomorrow morning, so that my mother didn't have to worry, since I agreed, I will definitely give her the things!" ”
Huo Zheng didn't say much, since he had Huo Mei's guarantee, it meant that he could go back to the errand, Huo Mei walked to the window and looked at Huo Zheng's departing back, and a trace of sadness rose in his heart. She and Huo Jun are both the daughters of her mother, but her mother always cares about her sister Huo Jun, and Huo Mei is like an orphan without a father and mother.
Of course, Wei Ling felt the faint sadness on Huo Mei's body, and slowly wrapped his arms around her shoulders from behind with some distress, "Mei'er, you and me, and your husband feel sorry for you, don't keep in mind those people and things that make you unhappy, okay?" ”
Huo Mei smiled slightly, and the depression in her heart dissipated a lot, "Ah Ling, if one day you find out that I am actually a vicious woman, will you be disappointed in me?" ”
"No!" The answer without the slightest hesitation made Huo Mei's heart warm instantly.
"I already know what kind of person you are, although there are rumors outside that the Red Lady, the master of Moxiang Pavilion, is a female devil who kills people without blinking, but I know that you have never killed anyone with your own hands! What if you've killed someone? Compared to me, I have killed countless people on the battlefield, so wouldn't I be more vicious! Listening to Wei Ling's relieved words, Huo Mei suddenly smiled, and the haze in his heart finally dissipated.
The two of them hugged each other so intimately, and they didn't notice that at this moment, in front of the side door of the front hall, Liu Yun'er was staring at the two with resentful eyes.
This night, the lights in the Huayun Residence in Sima Mansion were lit all night, and Mrs. Huo stayed awake all night, naturally worried that Huo Mei would not fulfill her promise to give her the antidote, so in the middle of the night, she sent Jing Lu to sneak into the General's Mansion to arrest Huo Mei, but Jing Lu didn't even enter the General's Mansion.
"Madam, the General's Mansion is heavily guarded, and his subordinates can't get close at all!"
Even Jing Lu couldn't get close, which undoubtedly surprised Mrs. Huo, "You can't even get in?" You are walking on the ground when you enter Weiyang Palace, why can't a small general's mansion enter? Could it be that you want to sue me that the General's Mansion is even more heavily guarded than the Imperial Palace? ”
Jing Lu lowered his head a little ashamedly, and knelt down silently in front of Mrs. Huo, "My subordinates are derelict in their duties, please punish the master!" ”
Although Mrs. Huo was angry, she also knew that the General's Mansion had never been as simple as people said, and with the relationship between the Wei family's mother and son and Emperor Liu Xun, she couldn't underestimate the General's Mansion, but in this way, it would be even more difficult for her to move Huo Mei, this is what makes Mrs. Huo angry, what she doesn't like the most is that she can't control someone, but now she just can't control Huo Mei in her own hands.
In the early morning of the second day, Mrs. Huo didn't eat breakfast and was waiting for Huo Mei's people to send the antidote, seeing that it was almost noon and there was still no one, Mrs. Huo was anxious and angry, and almost took someone to break into the general's mansion, but suddenly someone reported that Xiaohong, the maidservant next to the second lady, asked to see.
Mrs. Huo asked her to bring Xiaohong to her, Xiaohong didn't twist, and directly handed a blue medicine bottle to Mrs. Huo, Jing Lu stepped forward to take the medicine bottle and opened it and sniffed the taste inside, and nodded to Mrs. Huo silently, which shows that the antidote in this medicine bottle is not toxic, but like the previous time, there are only ten antidotes.
The young lady said that although this antidote could stop the onset of poison on the tattoo, in order to completely remove the toxins from the body, it was necessary to continue to take these pills for a period of time, and the prescription had to be changed every ten days. The young lady asked the slave maid to bring a message to the lady, hoping that the lady would do it herself! ”
After saying that, Xiaohong turned around and left Huayunju coolly, and walked directly to the edge of the wall in the back garden.
