Chapter 48: Fleur is drunk
"You're going to die?" The expression on Xie's face was strange, as if he was crying and laughing, and his eyes were looking blankly ahead, as if he was asking himself.
βweishenmeοΌ Mother...... Mother, weishenme ......", Zhou Manhua paused his sobbing and responded repeatedly.
"Zhou Manhua, you're dead, you're dead!" , Xie sat down in front of his daughter, his eyes were full of tears, his voice was choked with sadness, and he said, "Sister Hua! You can't complain about your mother, it wasn't your mother who killed you! It's your own fault, you have to go to the temple, let Zhang Shaoxiong ruin your name! β
"It's not that I won't let you live, it's that they want you to die. Mrs. Wang, Du Shanshan, they hurt you, and your grandfather, and Zhou Xian, the dead old man......"
Xie Shi's hand stretched forward, grabbed a piece of white skirt, and grabbed it tightly, without the fear just now, and his face gradually softened.
"Manhua, you should have enjoyed the great wealth of the world. Mother told you that among the three sons who are now adults, your aunt and concubine Niangniang are the longest and most expensive King of Qi, if it weren't for three years of marriage and no heirs, you would have been able to enter the East Palace a long time ago. Niangniang wants to choose a side concubine with both talent and virtue for King Qi, and in private she has reached a tacit understanding with the Xie family and several in-laws, and you will be the one who will be selected in the end. But your foolish grandfather has done a bunch of wrong things again and again at this juncture that have gradually lost his sacred heart, not to mention remedy, he has to go back to Huocheng with the whole family. β
"Originally, when you entered the palace of Qi, Niangniang told the emperor, and the emperor also ......agreed", speaking of this, Xie suddenly cried again, pouting, like a child who had been robbed of his beloved toy.
"Mother! Actually, I don't want to enter the palace. I don't want to at all. Zhou Manhua grabbed the placket on his chest tightly. She seemed to understand some of the reason why she had to die.
"Nonsense! How could you not want to, you are going. We all say haode! Xie pretended to lower his voice mysteriously and said, "Back then, the woman of the Yang family was able to become the princess of Qi It was purely a villain design, and Concubine Xian didn't like her." You know that she has not been pregnant for three years, that's because we drugged her, and when you enter the palace, you will be the first person to give birth to a grandson, King Qi will ascend the throne, and you will become a queen......"
Xie has long been immersed in the sweet dreams he has depicted. Stand up and walk around the room with your head held high, as if she had become a noble lady of the country.
The female ghost sitting on the ground forgot to cry and just stared at her blankly.
"Mother, I'm dead! I'm dead! The voice above the beam appeared coldly again, reminding Xie of the cruel truth.
Xie's pupils suddenly dilated, grabbed the collar of the female ghost on the ground fiercely, and slapped it crisply, making a crisp sound.
"Mother!"
"Don't call me mother! What are you going to Weishenme to go to the City God's Temple Goldfish Swamp? weishenme wants to provoke that surnamed Zhang? He thinks he likes your color? Zhang Shaoxiong's sister-in-law. In the palace, he has been saying goodbye to Niangniang, he is pure and tired of the Xie family, and he wants to use you to slap Niangniang and His Royal Highness King Qi in the face! And the Lou family! The eldest girl of the Lou family changed your clothes, but she buttoned your wet clothes. They refuse to pay it back from the inside out, they are all forcing us to lose face and lose our happiness! β
"The daughter of the Zhou family is not a concubine." , the female ghost bowed her head in shame.
"It's not that it's not a concubine. It can't be a concubine of the Zhang family! Their Zhang family originally voted for the King of Jin, and you don't want to be the concubine of King Qi. But she became a concubine of the Zhang family, what do you want Niangniang and King Qi to think? Wait for the king of Qi to ascend the great treasure. And what will happen to us? Manhua! Manhua ......", calling his daughter's name, Xie Shi cried again, "Don't blame your mother for being ruthless, you have to die, you must die, otherwise you will marry the Zhang family alive, and your father and your two younger brothers will have no way to live." I grew up with Concubine Xian, and I know her temper, she will make us all unable to live. β
"Manhua! Mother remembers your good, you have sacrificed your life for a hundred, and you will no longer block the future of your younger brothers, your mother will burn paper money for you, and your mother will do things for you, mother ......", Xie's hand danced in the void, and made a bunch of promises, "Manhua, you can leave with peace of mind, don't come back, don't come back!" β
"So if I don't go?" , the ghost sound from the beams of the house is still immature, but it is full of arrogance.
Not leaving? The female ghost sitting on the ground also raised her face, with some hope in her eyes, looked at Xie Shi, and stopped talking.
"Not leaving?" , Xie Shi smiled! The hand that was propped up on the table, picked up a tea tray, and smashed it at the female ghost's body, "If you don't go, I'll drive you away!" β
"Mother!" , The panicked Zhou Manhua called while dodging the constantly attacking things.
"I'll kill you!" , Xie Shi, who randomly picked up a pair of scissors from the table, stabbed the female ghost on the shoulder violently.
With a wail, Zhou Manhua's figure suddenly pulled away from the ground, retreated and hung into the air, flashed again, and disappeared into the darkness.
Only Xie Shi, who was constantly looking for things to exorcise ghosts, was left in the room, and there were words in his mouth.
After a while, the thumping sound of the table and chairs turning over, and the shouting of the maid and the maid also sounded in Xie's room one after another, and the lights of the adjacent rooms gradually lit up......
"What should I do?" In a remote meditation room in Puji Temple, Zhou Manyun stomped down a little anxiously.
What made her not know what to do with it was Zhou Manhua lying on the bed, the living Zhou Manhua.
Although she was alive, her situation was very unbearable, her eyebrows were frowning, and she was enduring the pain that spread from the inside of her body, and the beads of sweat on her forehead kept rising.
"Don't ask me, I never thought to save her." , The Void Taoist priest standing on the side shrugged his shoulders noncommittally.
It's for yourself to save. Zhou Manyun gently turned his head away and calmed down suddenly.
On the night of Zhou Manhua's death, the "Furong Three Drunks" that replaced the "Yu Yanguang" that killed him were originally taken by the Taoist priest to be used by Manyun.
"Originally, I wanted to take it with me and try it when I had the chance, as long as the poison effect made you cheat to death for a few hours, and then it was not difficult to take away a child corpse from the Zhou Mansion." It was a lie that the night she was told that the original jihua was abandoned.
Just thinking about abandoning it, he just caught up with Xie Shi to transfer Yuyanguang for Zhou Manhua, under Zhou Manyun's pleading. Furong was drunk and used on Zhou Manhua's body.
"Hibiscus is three drunk, and there are three poison courses. First order. A man is like a dead body, unconscious and unconscious. It's like getting drunk. After taking the first dose of the antidote, they will wake up and enter the second order. But with the passage of time, it will gradually become like drinking too much alcohol, and the internal organs will burn unbearably, and life and death will be painful. If you want to live, you have to take a second dose of the antidote. Zhou Manyun softly memorized the explanation he had written down that night, and nodded appreciatively.
Stretching out his hand to ask for the second-order antidote, Zhou Manyun gently walked to Manhua's side. Put a small white porcelain bottle in Manhua's hand, "Sister, the antidote is here, if you want to live, drink it." β
If you don't want to live anymore, don't force it.
Man Yun, who turned to leave, went straight out of the door, and Lie Yan and Du Xuanshuang followed behind her.
The night rain had stopped, and the sky was still dark with thick clouds as it was about to dawn. The door was locked and the girl moaned in pain......
"If she dies, I'll have to trouble my uncles to bring her body back to Baiyun Nunnery." , Zhou Manyun said, the clouds were light and the wind was light.
Now in the coffin of Hakuyunan. There was a young woman's corpse that she had bought from elsewhere, and if Manhua really died, she would have to get it back.
"She's on the antidote!". Liu Gui, who came back from the next room, walked into the door. With a look of delight.
"That's good! Save some toss. Zhou Manyun stood up. Stretched out his hand and threw himself into Bai Lu's arms, "Let's go down the mountain too!" β
said that the rain was too strong and he wanted to stay in the temple for one night, but he tossed a lot of things, especially when Man Yun was lying on the beam of the house and listened to Xie's nonsense in the middle of the night, and now he was sleepy.
"Take the letter to Baiyun Nunnery, take a good look at the corpse, no matter whether Xie plans to turn into a corpse or not, I can't let her see the clues. Zhou Manhua, you take it into the mountains first......", Du Xuanshuang assigned tasks to several insiders according to the original plan.
"The third-order antidote, bring it with you, and give it to her then!" , Zhou Manyun took out a black bottle from his arms and put it on Du Xuanshuang's hand, and then yawned again.
When will you grow up? Can you not be so sleepy? Lying on Bai Lu's shoulder, Zhou Manyun, who fell asleep down the mountain in a daze, regretted all the way in his dreams.
The little girl, who had slept for two hours, was immediately round and translucent again, and could lie down in front of the window and count the raindrops falling from the eaves in boredom......
"Weishenme's third-order antidote is only half for her?"
"Shengmien, Doumien. I don't want to bother. Zhou Manyun didn't look back, his eyes were still glued to the sliding rain line, counting.
After all, Manhua and Xie's mother and daughter, if one day they coincidentally release their previous suspicions and interfere with Manhua's life and death, they will fall behind. What's more, the pain of leaving his hometown and hiding incognito, Manyun has suffered. She understands that taste that gnaws at people's hearts. After a long time, I miss the place that was once regarded as hell, but I can be called by people in dignity.
"Fleur is drunk three times, the third drunk, and if she keeps getting drunk, she will really die. But you keep her a little drunk, and she's in excruciating pain for a few days a month. I want to ask the truth and get to the point.
"The pain will make her soberly remember that she is dead." , Zhou Manyun turned his head and smiled, revealing a mouthful of neat white teeth.
The Taoist priest sighed and said, "You really don't look like a child. I'm glad I didn't take you that day. β
"But I'm ...... now", Zhou Manyun, who was sitting on the window table, turned around, stood up with his little hand on his empty arm, looked at him seriously, and said, "But now, I want to worship you as a teacher." β
"Apprenticeship?" , such a natural apprenticeship made the master who was favored by Man Yun a little surprised.
"Apprentice!" , Zhou Manyun nodded fiercely.
I have seen several kinds of poisons, but the three drunkenness of Furong in Zhou Manhua's place still touched her greatly. Such a complex and changeable poison has to be guarded against more carefully than the poison that kills when it enters the throat, and now she is not afraid of death, and she is even more afraid of being manipulated. It doesn't make sense to rely on Taoist priests to administer medicines, and she must understand the preparation and solution of these poisons by herself.
"Shall I take you as an apprentice?" , The fingertips of the false words pointed on Man Yun's shoulder, and he looked teasing, "I know, you must be thinking about how to poison me after you become a teacher now." β
He guessed it!
Zhou Manyun's little face was embarrassed and red, and his long eyelashes flashed, like cicada wings. (To be continued......)
