426 Birds of the Same Life (Five Behind the Veil)
"At that time...... The red willow girl is sleeping, sleeping in the back room. ”
Fang Sheng recalled.
"The medicine taken by Hongliu contains a lot of calming and sleeping ingredients, which I asked the imperial doctor to add on purpose, so that she can rest better."
Leng Nan said on the side: "If she wasn't sleeping, maybe she would have been hurt too." ”
Liansheng looked at the room of the red willow in the back room, and asked in his heart: Is this really the case?
At this time, the babbling of Hongliu's room opened, Hongliu's face was veiled, and he stood at the door and asked, "What happened?" Why are both the son and the adult back? ”
"Leng Niangzi has been attacked. Did you hear any strange noises in the morning? Rensheng's gaze wanted to penetrate her veil and see her expression carefully. But it didn't work, Hongliu had been wearing a veil since her face was injured, and no one could see what was going on on her face.
"I fell asleep after drinking the medicine, and I slept very deeply, and I didn't hear any sound. If a thief comes in the house, why doesn't Mrs. Leng wake me up? Two people are better than one. Hongliu sighed: "Leng Niangzi is not seriously injured, right?" ”
Men and women don't kiss, just now Fang Sheng helped Leng Niangzi because he was in a hurry, and now Fang Sheng and Leng Nan naturally can't enter Leng Niangzi's room at will.
Liansheng thanked Guo Pozi first and gave her some money, Guo Pozi did something immoral that day, how dare she accept this money, hurriedly waved her hand and said no, Liansheng forced her to say that it was a full moon gift for her grandson, so she accepted it and went home with confidence.
Liansheng walked into Leng Niangzi's room, and Hongliu followed. There was a pungent smell of safflower oil in the room, and Lian Sheng leaned over to look at Leng Niangzi's injuries. On the neck is a strangulation mark of a rope coated with reddish safflower oil, which seems to be a doctor's attempt to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.
"Cold lady!" Lian Sheng called softly in her ear, Leng Niangzi's eyes were closed, her breathing was steady, there was no response, and it seemed that she was still in a deep coma.
Lian Sheng sighed, gently lifted the quilt, and went to pick up the clothes of the cold lady.
"What is the girl going to do?" Hongliu asked.
"Check to see if there are any other injuries. Leng Niangzi is a very courageous person, and she will definitely fight with the people who attacked her. ”
"It's all my fault that I slept so deeply. Nothing is known. If I had been vigilant, I wouldn't have done that. ”
Hongliu was very guilty.
"You did sleep deeply, but maybe you were lucky, if you had come out at the time, you might have been attacked." After Lian Sheng checked it, he felt a little strange: "There are no other scars on Leng Niangzi's body. Nor on hand. Didn't she fight the criminals? But how did that person manage to strangle Leng Niangzi unconsciously? But he didn't strangle her. Because of what? ”
Hongliu thought for a while and said, "Is it because of the lack of strength?" ”
Liansheng didn't speak, only silently tidied up Leng Niangzi's clothes and said, "Let's go out first, we can only wait for her to wake up to know what happened." ”
Hongliu followed Liansheng out. Fang Sheng asked, "Miss Hongliu, what do you think today?" "It's much better, and my face doesn't hurt very much, but it's very itchy, which makes people so irritable, and I can't sleep well all night, so I drank the medicine and slept too heavily today, and it's all my fault, I won't be like this if I don't sleep."
Leng Nan also blamed himself: "I quarreled with my sister-in-law yesterday, alas, I really regret it." ”
"You quarreled with Leng Niangzi? No way? ”
Leng Nan has always been calm and steady, how could he quarrel with Leng Niangzi? Liansheng and Fangsheng both looked at him with wide eyes, and Hongliu suddenly said, "I'm back in the room, Leng Niangzi must call me when she wakes up." ”
Waiting for Hongliu to leave, Leng Nancai whispered: "It was after dinner yesterday, my sister-in-law told me that it was time to get married, and said that she would ask someone to be a good matchmaker for me, so I talked to her a few words, saying that I planned to marry Hongliu, and I was also in a bad temper at that time, and the two of them quarreled, alas, they all blamed me, she was bent on thinking that there were only two of us left in my family, in fact, I would have picked up my nephew from Wudang Mountain." In this way, my sister-in-law can also have something to do, and she will not stare at me every day to force me to get married as soon as possible. ”
"No wonder you asked the prince for marriage today, it turned out to be for this." Liansheng suddenly realized: "He lied to us and said that Hongliu didn't agree, so he just took advantage of the situation to cold the lady." ”
Leng Nan's face turned red: "This is also a reason. ”
Fang Sheng asked puzzledly: "I don't understand, why Leng Niangzi doesn't want you to marry Hongliu?" The girl Hongliu is very good, she cooks deliciously, she can do any work, and this time she helped Brother Nan block a knife, so where can you find a second woman who is working hard for you. ”
Liansheng patted Fang Sheng: "What do you know, at a young age, look at what mess you are pondering, aren't you going to the yamen in the afternoon?" With me at home, you should go to the yamen as soon as possible. ”
Fang Sheng agreed and walked out, and when he walked to the courtyard, he thought that something was wrong: "You and I are obviously the same age, why am I so young?" It's not fair. ”
It turned out that in Liansheng's heart, she always unconsciously added the age of her previous life, Fangsheng was a teenager who was several years different in her eyes, but she forgot that she and Fangsheng were twins, and they were the same age.
Leng Nan pulled Lian Sheng to his room and whispered, "You just need to know these things, but don't tell Hongliu, I'm afraid she won't be able to take a beat." What my sister-in-law said yesterday was very ugly, and said that she would quickly find a matchmaker to marry Hongliu, Hongliu ruined her face for me, how could I bear to treat her like this. ”
"But do you like her? Kindness is kindness, how can it be confused with love, you have to think about it, marriage is a lifelong thing, I don't want you to become a resentful couple in the future. ”
"Since I want to marry her, I have thought it through, and what the feelings are, it is okay to cultivate them slowly in the future. Don't worry, I'll treat her well, not impulsively to repay the favor or anything like that. Leng Nan sighed softly: "Although I look indifferent in front of the prince, I know that I met you too late, and you wouldn't have ...... earlier."
"Why did you get involved with me again?" Liansheng's face turned red.
"I know that between you and the crown prince, you can't let go of him, now that he is the crown prince, he will ascend the throne in the future, with his character, nothing can stop him. If that's the case, it doesn't matter who I marry, at least Hongliu is very good to me, and the woman who can give her life for me, I am willing to take care of her for the rest of my life. After Leng Nan finished speaking, he saw that Liansheng's face was a little embarrassed, so he continued: "You just talk nonsense to me, don't take it to heart." ”
Liansheng snorted, and was just about to leave, when he remembered something: "Let's call the prince to bring a few people, I'm really not at ease, last time it was dark incense, this time it's Leng Niangzi, if something happens to Fangsheng and you again, I'm afraid I'm really going to collapse." ”
"Okay, it's up to you." Leng Nan nodded.
"Yesterday you quarreled with Leng Niangzi, but others saw it?"
Liansheng suddenly remembered a question.
"No, my sister-in-law and I had an argument. Why, what do you mean by that? Leng Nan was also a keen person, and realized that there was something in Liansheng's words.
"It's just a casual question, it's not interesting." Something flashed through Liansheng's mind.
When she went out, she looked at Hongliu's room again, the door was tightly closed, like a veil on Hongliu's face, and she really couldn't see any abnormalities and fluctuations.
What kind of face is behind the veil? Liansheng thought. (To be continued......)
PS: I think everyone guessed who attacked Leng Niangzi.
