Chapter 344 Chaos on top of chaos
Liu Baimei and Wen Ruihao walked out of the palace side by side, and did not get into the carriage parked at the palace gate, but walked slowly between the two.
Liu Baimei thought for a while and said, "Haozi, thank you for being willing to marry her." ”
"You and my brother, why do you have to say this? That woman was really funny, and I wasn't wronged. Although I said that I would not accept concubines, just with the name of my King of Chu, it is not easy to want a woman, just raise two outside. ”
Liu Banmei frowned, and there seemed to be a sour taste in her heart.
She is such a smart and beautiful woman, and she deserves to be treated sincerely by men, not to be let down.
Wen Ruihao knew what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "What are you frowning, don't worry, just because she is your cousin, this king treats her well." ”
Liu Baimei smiled lightly: "In this case, let's prepare separately and set off at noon tomorrow." ”
Wen Ruihao sighed: "Hey, I have to hurry again, what Lao Tzu is most afraid of is going far away, and it is unspeakably miserable......"
……
In the Changmen Palace, Empress Dowager Li called Xia Dong and lowered her head and whispered a few words in his ear.
Xia Dong nodded, quietly walked out, turned a few long alleys, came to a courtyard, pushed the door in, and there were dozens of black-clothed people standing in the courtyard.
When the leader saw him coming, he greeted him, and asked in a deep voice, "What is the master's command?" ”
Xia Dong's face sank, and he coughed and said: "To assassinate King Jing, you don't need to die, but you have to be injured, and you must be seriously injured, and you must drag King Jing's prince for three months." If something goes wrong, come and see you. ”
"Yes!" The man in black turned pale and responded with a fist.
……
Li Yingjie fell ill. Everyone in the Hou Mansion was nervous. After all, the glory and wealth in this house all point to him.
Strange thing, after taking a few pills, Li Yingjie's illness is serious, and he can still get out of bed and walk a few steps every day, but he can't even get out of bed these days.
The imperial doctor in the palace came several times, and when he looked at the pulse, he said that it was no big deal, and Qian was so anxious that he had a blister on his mouth.
At this time, Li Congwang's illness also became serious, and his lower body actually had some festering tendencies. Li Congwang rolled on the bed in pain. Scream. The maid and woman in a yard were tossed by him and turned over on their backs.
There are two patients in a house, and they are not lightly ill, from the master to the subordinate, how can they still have a smiling face.
Li Fengjin got the news. Take my uncle back to the house to visit the sick. See Father. The younger brother was sick like this, and he was a little anxious, so he asked in detail about the situation of the two.
Wait for her to hear her father. The younger brother's medicine was all opened by Lin Bei, the son of King Jing, and suddenly an evil thought came up from the bottom of his heart, could this be that Lin Xi and that prince should cooperate with the outside world and want to plot against the Hou Ye's family property.
The more Li Fengjin thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. She pulled her mother Qian over and whispered for a while, Qian was in a hurry, and when she heard Li Fengjin's words, her face was elongated.
Li Fengjin took the opportunity to say again: "Mother, my father always calls her to my side, and even my mother is left behind, in case my father carries you behind your back and gives her all the private money, then we won't suffer a big loss." ”
Qian was given eye drops, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. The illness of the husband and son was originally fine, but why it has become more and more serious in the past few days, it must be that there is something wrong with the child's medication.
She slapped the table and said angrily, "Go, call Miss Lin." ”
Lynsey was in her room worried about her grandfather and uncle's condition. It's not light, it's really a hell, with the ability of the junior brother, it's not enough.
A few days earlier, she noticed that something was wrong, and secretly sent Xia Feng and Qiu Yu to investigate carefully, but who knew that after a few days of investigation, she found nothing.
Could it be that the medical skills of the junior brother are really not good?
Gu Erjia lifted the curtain and saw that the girl was standing in front of the window, and hurriedly said, "Miss Lin, Madame is invited." ”
"What?" Lin Xi was disturbed by his train of thought, and his voice was a little unpleasant.
"The girl will know when she goes, but don't let the lady wait!" Although Gu Erjia's face was deferential, there was a bit of toughness in his tone.
Lin Xi glanced back at her, and doubts flashed in her eyes: "You go back first, I'll change my clothes and come." ”
Xia Yu and the others left, and hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "Miss, the eldest lady is back, I'm afraid I'm looking for trouble." ”
"Trouble?"
Lin Xi sneered: "It's all at this time, and she still has the heart to come to me for trouble, I want to see how she can find this trouble." ”
……
As soon as Li Fengjin saw Lin Xilai, there was anger in his eyes. I haven't seen her for many days, and she has become more and more watery, look at the ruddy face, look at the white skin.
Aunt Liu, who was drinking tea on the side, also felt that her eyes lit up, and her eyes fell on Lin Xi from time to time.
Lin Xi stepped forward, saluted one by one, and then sat down: "Madame called me here, I don't know what's going on." ”
Qian opened his mouth, and was about to think of a tactful reason to say nothing, but Li Fengjin took the lead and said: "Lin Xi, my father and younger brother's illness were all prescribed by King Jing's son, why don't you see it?" ”
Lin Xi looked at Qian and raised his head proudly: "How do I know." However, a few doctors from the Tai Hospital have come to take a look, and the prescription is not asked, madam, am I right? ”
Qian was asked. Several imperial doctors came over, and they all said that the prescription was extremely accurate.
Li Fengjin was afraid that his mother would be soft-hearted, so he hurriedly sneered: "Who knows if those imperial doctors have been bought by you?" ”
Xia Feng's face turned pale with anger, he glanced at the eldest lady with disgust, and sneered: "My young lady is fine, why should you buy the imperial doctor." Miss, what do you mean by that? ”
Li Fengjin glanced at her obliquely, and threw out a cruel sentence: "I'm afraid that some people, under the banner of seeing a doctor, will do that bad thing, come to meet the inside and outside, and want to plot the family property of the Hou Mansion." ”
"The eldest lady is really bloody."
"What is the blood mouth spitting people, a son of the world, can actually see a doctor, and make an appointment for others, may I ask who he studied and how to learn medical skills......"
Xia Feng was blocked tightly and fell down.
Lin Xi smiled faintly and slowly walked in front of Li Fengjin.
"What do you want to do?" Li Fengjin was stubble.
Lin Xi tilted over, looked at her fixedly, and suddenly smiled. The property of the Hou Mansion still needs her to plot, and his grandfather has already given it with both hands.
"Auntie. Two days ago, Xiaoxi entered the palace, and the Queen Mother suddenly asked about you. ”
Li Fengjin was timid in his heart. She forgot that Lin Xi was the one who had the support of the Queen Mother.
"I also said that my aunt is now living with my uncle in peace, and the two of them are singing together, it seems that Xiaoxi is wrong, and my aunt's bad mistake of being open-mouthed has been committed again."
Qian Shi also said with a smile: "Xiaoxi, don't blame Feng Jin, she also cares about the master and Congwang." We believe in the medical skills and character of the son. It's just that this disease is not serious but mild. I don't know what the reason is? ”
Aunt Liu held the tea bowl, plucked the tea foam with the tea lid, and said gently: "Mother-in-law, maybe it will be fine in two days." ”
When Li Fengjin heard that he was actually helping others speak. Angry, he slapped his arm with his hand. The man's hand loosened. The tea lid fell to the ground.
Aunt Liu hurriedly picked it up and sighed: "Fortunately, it's not broken, it's just a little dust." Otherwise, ten taels of silver will be lost by me. ”
Li Fengjinyi's man was so angry that he was about to have a seizure, but he saw Lin Xi snatch the tea cover from Aunt Liu's hand, turn it over and look at it.
Aunt Liu's face flushed, and she looked at Lin Xi speechless in a daze.
Li Fengjin pushed him angrily, walked between the two, and blocked the man's sight: "The eldest girl's family actually went to grab something from the man's hand, mother, what kind of rule is this?" ”
If it had been changed before, the Qian family would have said a few words, but now that the house is in chaos like this, where did she get her thoughts. What's more, when it happened to Lin Xi, she had already retreated.
Lin Xi's eyes were hooked, and he suddenly put the tea lid into Li Fengjin's arms, picked up his skirt and ran out.
"Mother, take a look, are there any elders in this eye, a wild girl." Li Fengjin sighed.
Qian was a little troubled by her quarrel, waved his hand and said, "Come on, it's not early, you and your uncle should go back early." ”
"Mother's ......"
Li Fengjin didn't follow: "You just believe her like this, in case it's really ......"
Qian Shi was silent for a long time, and let out a long sigh: "It's not that my mother believes her, those imperial doctors are all sent by the Queen Mother, and even they say it's okay, what can I do." Go back, don't make a mess. ”
When Li Fengjin saw his mother say this, although he didn't dare to refute it, he was angry.
……
Lin Xi walked out of the courtyard gate and quickly whispered a few words in Xia Yu's ear. Xia Yu's eyes widened in disbelief, and then quickly ran away.
After a while, Manager Li trotted all the way to Lin Xi, and said angrily, "What does the girl command?" ”
Lin Xi leaned over and said softly, "Quickly go and invite a doctor who has a little research on the use of poison to come over." ”
"Girl, this is going to be ......"
Lin Xi smiled faintly: "I think I probably know why my grandfather and third uncle's illness is getting worse day by day." ”
In the afternoon, the imperial doctor came to the door, and Lin Xi personally welcomed him into the house. Strangely, she did not take people to her grandfather's yard, but into the study.
On the desk, there were two medicine jars, and Lin Xi pointed to the medicine jars and said, "Imperial Doctor Sun, show me what's so special about that medicine jar." ”
The private things in the door of the mansion have seen a lot of the imperial doctor, and as soon as the imperial physician Sun heard Lin Xi say this, he knew that there must be something strange about these two things.
He took it in his hand, looked through it a few times, and then looked deeply at Linxi.
Lin Xi's heart moved, and said, "Doctor Sun said that he was defenseless. ”
"There is nothing wrong with the inside of these two medicine jars, but the lid of the medicine is smoked with poison, and the liquid is contaminated, although the amount is small, but it is fatal to the patient. If there is another month and a half, I'm afraid it will be ......"
Lin Xi's eyes darkened, arrows flashed everywhere, and Manager Li on the side was shocked into a cold sweat. No wonder the old man and the third master are getting sicker and worse, it turned out to be ...... Who the hell is so ruthless and wants the lives of the old man and the third master.
Lin Xi coughed lightly and said, "Manager Li, send Imperial Doctor Sun for me." Imperial Physician Sun, nagging, asked Imperial Physician to keep this matter a secret. ”
Seeing that she was young and had her own bearing, her words and deeds were still awe-inspiring, and she said with a smile: "Miss Lin, please rest assured." ”
Lin Xi and the others left, and said to Xia Feng, who was standing quietly behind him: "Go to the palace for me, invite Father-in-law Xia to come, Chunyang wants to ask, just say that someone wants to harm my grandfather." ”
Xia Feng hurriedly said: "Girl, go to the palace at this time, the queen mother is ......."
"Don't be afraid, Lord Hou and the Queen Mother are brothers and sisters, and this matter has nothing to do with me and my relatives."
Xia Feng nodded hurriedly and said, "What else does the girl have to explain?" ”
"Tell Grandpa Xia that the idea is not old. It just works. How did he catch the mastermind behind the aphrodisiac last time, and this time he still uses this method. And ......"
"What else?"
Lin Xi paused and said, "Go to the palace for me to see the concubine." In the past few days, my junior brother has been away, and I am ...... again She'll be suspicious. You don't have to say anything, just say that I am sick in front of my grandfather, and I can't get out, so let her take care of her body. ”
Xia Feng saw that the girl had handled everything one by one, and admiration surged in his heart: "Don't worry, girl, the slave and maid will definitely do it." ”
……
In the evening, there was a crisp sound in Nagato Palace. Empress Dowager Li suddenly had a seizure. Smashed a blue and white twig beauty bottle.
Xia Feng's heart beat faster, but he didn't have a trace of timidity, and cried: "I beg the Queen Mother to be the master for the Hou Ye and the girl." ”
Empress Dowager Li was furious. Lang said: "Xia Dong." Dig three feet into the ground. Find out the evildoers for me. If you can't find it, you don't have to come back. ”
Xia Dong took the order and left, and Xia Feng took the opportunity to retire. Empress Dowager Li did not let her get up.
"You girls...... How's it going? ”
Xia Feng thought for a while and said: "The girl has been serving in front of the Hou Ye these days, doing everything herself, and never leaving an inch. It's just that I'm worried about the concubine in my heart, this time the slave maid entered the palace, and the girl still confessed......"
Empress Dowager Li suddenly waved her hand, signaling that she didn't need to say anything.
Xia Feng had the courage to look at the Queen Mother's face, and was suddenly startled.
In just a few days, the Queen Mother has lost a whole weight, and her always ruddy and full face is a little pale, and what surprised her even more is that the Queen Mother seems to look a few years older, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes can't be covered with powder.
Empress Dowager Li covered her chest and let out a long sigh: "Go, go to the concubine to say goodbye, and save the child from worrying about it." ”
Xia Feng lowered his eyebrows and retreated.
……
Lin Nan saw the summer breeze coming, and hurriedly ordered the spring night to help people up.
Xia Feng had a stomach full of words in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, and according to the girl's instructions, he asked the concubine's body carefully.
Lin Nan will be two months pregnant, she can eat, drink and sleep, and there is no reaction at all. Xu is because of proper conditioning, the skin is white and red, so tender that it can pinch out the water, which is three points more beautiful than before.
Seeing that Xia Feng asked more carefully than the imperial doctor, she couldn't help but smile and said, "You go back and tell her that everything is fine with me, let her take care of her body by herself." It is actually important for Hou Ye to be filial piety in front of him, and he has no day and night. You guys be careful, your girl's body was weak when she was a child, and now looking at it, it's not much stronger. ”
Xia Feng nodded his head and was about to retire, but he heard the eunuch outside shouting: "The emperor has arrived." ”
As soon as the words fell, his eyes swept into a bright yellow figure and hurriedly walked in.
The concubine was about to get up, but the figure had already pressed the person: "Don't get up, don't get up, rest well." ”
Lin Nanyu raised his hand and said with a sneer: "Your Majesty, look, who is here?" ”
Zhao Jingqi found a servant girl standing next to her: "It turned out to be you." Why didn't your girl come to the palace these days? ”
Xia Feng said: "Back to the emperor, the Hou Ye is sick, the girl is sick, I am afraid that I will be too sick, I dare not enter the palace to meet the concubine, and I sent a slave to come over to take a look." ”
"Well, it's a filial child. You tell her, when the Hou Ye is well, enter the palace quickly, and I have good things for her. ”
"What a good thing, how come I don't know?" Lin Nanmei smiled.
Zhao Jingqi helped the woman sit on the collapse: "She loves chess, I found a good chess game for her." ”
"What a good move, I want to see."
"Okay, well, wait until I see our emperor first."
"Who said it must be the emperor?"
"It's okay for the princess, what does Xiao Nan say, what is it?"
The spring night waved at the summer breeze, and the summer breeze quietly retreated. It seems that the concubine's life is very good, and the emperor loves her, and if the girl hears the news, she will definitely be happy.
……
In the evening, everyone in the Hou Mansion was having dinner in their rooms, but they heard someone report that Xia Dong entered the mansion with dozens of Praetorian Guards.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what it meant to be in the palace at this time.
Lin Xi wiped the corners of her lower lip unhurriedly, the secret way was good, her brows stretched slightly, she let Qiu Yu add half a bowl of rice, chewed slowly and used the dinner, and then slowly paced to the front yard.
Xia Dong has the experience of the previous time, and the investigation this time is quite fast. Everyone in the Hou Mansion knows the means of Gonggong Xia, and in the face of the white silver, it is just half a cup of tea, who does it, who directs it behind the scenes, all of them are revealed to the world.
Lin Xi looked at Li Conggao and his wife, whose bodies were shaking like a sieve, and sighed slightly. Everything was as she expected, and nothing went wrong.
When the Qian family saw that this son of evil actually killed his father and brother, he was so angry that he rushed down and crackled with two slaps. If someone hadn't stopped her, she would have loved to cut the couple with a knife.
At this moment, there was an exclamation from the Hou Ye's room, it turned out that Li Yingjie learned that his son was doing something on the medicine jar, and in a fit of anger, he spurted out a mouthful of blood and passed out.
The crowd was in a mess.
Lin Xi looked at this mess, and for some reason, infinite desolation was born in his heart.
She is not a sad person, but her son wants Lao Tzu to die, which still makes her unacceptable. What kind of hatred does it take to do such a devastating thing.
……
The cold night is gloomy.
The lights in Lin Xi's room are always on.
Qiu Yu lifted the curtain and came in: "Miss, everything is falling out." ”
Lin Xi said lightly: "Let's talk about it, why is the second uncle so ruthless." ”
Qiu Yu said: "The biological mother of the second master was originally the maid of the lady, and because she gave birth to him, she was not allowed by the lady. One year when she was sick, her wife ordered her subordinates to do something in her medicine, and it only dragged on for half a year, and then she went. Second master, he has always held a grudge. ”
Qiu Yu paused and said, "The second master almost died at the hands of his wife several times when he was a child. When Mrs. ** first entered the house, she put contraceptive decoction in her meal, and ** milk has had no heirs all these years. So the second master, he hated the poisonous lady. ”
"Since you hate your wife, why do you want to attack your grandfather and third uncle?" (To be continued......)
PS: Thanks: fatten the cat, a lot of pink tickets at midnight.
Autumn is cool, so we should pay more attention to our bodies.
I thought about this chapter for a long time, and I didn't want to write about the Hou Mansion, but I decided to put it on it. Since it's messy, it's going to have to be messed up inside and out.
