Chapter 128: Count on the Heart
After listening to the report of the guards, Iris punished them for keeping watch in the courtyard all night on the grounds that it was not good to protect the princess and that it was useless to pursue the assassins, but the strange guards were very respectful and obedient to Iris's orders.
After sending those people away, Iris examined the pastoral rumor again, and then said, "You are really here to find out the news!" But you should understand that leaving you is only because you will detoxify, and if you don't comply, I can hand you over to Mama Zeng at any time, and I can also expose you and make a contribution! ”
Mu Yu chuckled: "I didn't mean to hear any news, but since I want to detoxify the princess, it's not too much to know about the situation!" Of course, I don't doubt that you would do that, but in that case, I can guarantee that the princess will never speak again, and will be tormented month after month, year after year! You're a smart person, so you know what's important! ”
Iris didn't expect that she was exposed to her identity and was in danger, and she could be so calm and calm to blackmail herself, so she didn't dare to look down on her at the moment. After a moment's thought, she sighed lightly: "The more you know about some things, the faster you will die!" ”
"I remember you said just now, the princess saved me tonight, I'm afraid I won't live long, since both horizontal and vertical are dead, it's better to die clearly!"
Iris was slightly startled, looked at her with a hint of appreciation in her eyes, and motioned for her to sit down across from her.
"Tell me, what do you want to know?"
Mu Yu sat opposite her unceremoniously, and met the small but shining eyes: "Why can't I live when the princess rescues?" ”
"They don't allow anyone close to the princess! Anyone the princess trusted or liked, or who had intimate contact with the princess, either disappeared mysteriously or died. Seeing that she looked at herself with some suspicion, Iris added: "I'm different, I was personally assigned by the Holy Lord to the princess, and they didn't dare to move it easily!" ”
They? Is it Mama Zeng? Since she is Queen Xiao's person, what she represents is naturally what Queen Xiao means, but why does Queen Xiao not allow her daughter to have friends and cronies, and connive at her subordinates to treat her daughter like this? Even if there was such a big movement tonight, I never saw her come over to comfort and comfort.
Mu Yu thinks there is a lot of work here.
No wonder the princess didn't know where Ah Suo went, no wonder there would be a hint of surprise in her eyes when she came back, no wonder she had just shown her goodwill, her eyes would be so gloomy, she must have wanted to be friendly with herself, but she was afraid of hurting herself!
At her age, she should be happy and carefree, and even live proudly like Xi Ruoya, but she has a sadness in her heart that does not match her age.
"Who did this to the princess?" Seven or eight years ago, Princess Yuling was only a child of four or five years old, what was the reason why people would attack a child.
Iris's eyes dimmed, and he shook his head and said, "I don't know!" I was sent to the princess two months after she fell ill, and I thought it was true, as rumored that she could not speak because of a serious illness, but I found out later that it was not! ”
She glanced into the gauze tent, "In the first year, the princess only wept, refused to eat, and was afraid to sleep alone, but gradually became numb, and even if she had to go through such terrible pain every month, she did not shed a single tear, and of course, I have not seen her laugh once in all these years. "When it comes to Princess Yuling's miserable life over the years, no one knows better than her, so no one wants to solve the poison on the princess and find out the murderer behind the scenes.
Mu Yu saw the truth in her eyes, which showed that the seven or eight years of getting along with her had made her sincere to this poor little princess. It's a pity that even she doesn't know what happened to Princess Yuling back then.
"What about the queen mother, didn't she send someone to check the truth?"
Iris raised her eyes and glanced at her, and said thoughtfully: "It should have been checked, probably not found!" ”
Mu Yu heard that she had something to hide in her words, but it was inconvenient to ask.
"Why don't you ask me where I came from, aren't you afraid that I have ulterior motives?" Mu Yu felt that Iris looked at her without the first acquaintance, rejection and vigilance.
"Since you have changed your face, you don't want to tell others your true identity, and even if I ask, you may not tell the truth. What's more, it doesn't matter who you are, the important thing is that you can cure the poison on the princess's body. In fact, she didn't know why, she talked to her so much tonight, probably because she felt that she was just as kind to the princess as she was!
"You're confident in yourself!" Mu Yu looked at this cold-faced and warm-hearted woman, and felt that Emperor Shuntian really chose the right person back then.
Iris shook her head: "It's not that I'm confident, it's that I believe that you won't harm her, just now when you rushed to the assassin to save her, your eyes were very eager and sincere!" ”
Is there one? Mu Yu felt that he probably acted too realistically, but he was praised as sincere, and he was happy to use it.
"Does this Spirit Water Palace often break into assassins?"
"No, it's the second time tonight!"
"Yes!" Mu Yu felt that he was really lucky, "Then if such a big event happens tonight, will the queen mother come?" ”
Iris paused for a moment and said, "I don't know, she rarely comes!" But I can see that she loves the princess a lot. ”
The two gradually turned from the initial question and answer to small talk. Iris seems to have finally found someone to share the burden that has been hidden in his heart for many years, and the pastoral rumor is curious, eager to find out all the doubts in his heart.
"The medicinal materials needed to make this antidote are not easy to find, and it is quite troublesome to practice, I wonder if you have a problem arranging these?"
Iris frowned and was silent, Mu Yu knew it in his heart, and said with a roll of his eyes: "Forget it, since it's inconvenient, I have another idea, you just wait to get the antidote." However, the princess has suffered from this poison all these years, and her body has been seriously damaged, so before this antidote is practiced, I will first prescribe some nourishing and rejuvenating decoction for her, and you will let her fry it every day and feed her to take it. ”
"This ......" iris is still embarrassed.
"What's wrong? You can't tell me you can't even make some tonic for the princess! ”
Iris sighed heavily, lowered her eyelashes, and blocked the helplessness and anger in her eyes: "Everything in this Lingshui Palace is decided by Mama Zeng, and she has to agree to do anything." I'm afraid that giving the princess a decoction will arouse their suspicions. ”
"Doubt? Suspect what? ”
"The matter of detoxifying the princess, except for you and me, I must not let anyone know, no one can, you know? Otherwise, it's not just you and me, I'm afraid that the princess will be in danger! ”
Seeing that her expression was extremely serious, it didn't look like a joke, nor like she was threatening and intimidating, and asked at the moment, "Is it so serious?!" ”
Seeing that she nodded solemnly, Mu Yu looked at Princess Yuling who was lying facing the inner wall, her thin body made people feel pity, but it was not yet to the point of paying with her own life.
She pondered silently for a while, and her eyes lit up: "There you have!" Then he ran to the door and looked around for a while, and then came into the house again, and said to Iris, "You can first hold out the people outside the door for a while, and it will only be enough for a while." ”
Iris didn't understand what she was going to do, but did as she was told. Seeing that everyone was leaving, Mu Yu hurriedly entered the house, picked up Princess Yuling on the couch and walked out of the house.
There was a large vat for drawing water in the garden outside the house, and before the princess could react, she only heard a "plop" sound, and the whole person fell into the tank.
"Oh, no, come on, the princess has fallen into the tank!" The pastoral rumor shouted in panic.
Soon Iris rushed over with someone, scooped up the soaking and shivering Princess Yuling, and shouted angrily at the herdsman: "What's going on? ”
"Slave maid, slave maid doesn't know, probably the princess is wronged, want to find a short time, fortunately Sister Iris came in time, hurry, quickly carry the princess to the house, or you will catch a cold in a while!" The pastoral song said loudly while giving the iris a look.
Iris couldn't figure out what she was thinking for a while, but seeing the princess drenched in water, she had to frown and say, "Go and prepare the bath soup!" With that, he ordered the guards to guard the courtyard, and carried the princess into the house.
After a while, Mama Zeng also came with someone, and was shocked three times in a night, Mama Zeng's face was hard to see, and she looked at Mu Yu's eyes and wanted to tear her apart.
And Princess Yuling, who had changed into clean clothes, curled up in the corner of the bed, looking at this fake Ah Suo with some horror, she didn't know why she threw herself into the tank, causing her to almost drown. But not long after watching it, she felt some pain in her brain, and she kept sneezing.
"Oh no, the princess must have caught a cold, hurry up and let the imperial doctor come to see her!" The pastoral rumor is very obedient at this time.
Mama Zeng saw that the princess's cheeks were a little red and her spirit was not good, so she had to order someone to ask for Imperial Doctor He. Then, gritting his teeth with a cold face, he said to the herd: "Tell me, what's going on!" ”
"When the princess was thirsty, the slave and maid went to pour water, and who knows, who knew that she would take advantage of the slave and maid's inattention, and ran out by herself, and jumped into the water tank." The herd trembled for fear of being punished.
"What about you, where have you been?" Mama Zeng turned to look at Iris and asked.
As soon as the slave and maid seemed to hear a noise outside the house, they took the men to inspect it. Who knew that the princess had such a thought, taking advantage of the absence of the slave and maid, to make such a suicidal move! ”
Hey! It's on the road! Mu Yu quietly gave her an appreciative look.
"Humph! How could the princess find a short view, I think someone is deliberately harming her life! ”
Mu Yu saw that the old eyes looked at him again, and he was angry in his heart, and raised his eyes to meet him: "Okay? Dare to ask Mama which eye saw the princess? Even if you suffer from a hidden disease, you a slave dares to shout in front of her, exerting lewd power, how do you let her be the main owner of the Lingshui Palace, if I were a princess, I would have been angry with you a long time ago! If someone really wants to harm the princess, we have to be here for you! ”
"You, you ......" Mama Zeng trembled with anger, pointed at the pastoral rumor and shouted: "Come on, drag this unruly thing down for me, and beat it to death!" ”
