Chapter 100: Scheming
In two days, it will be the Dragon Boat Festival.
This is the last day of Huo Qiaoqiao's agreement with Zuo Mingzhu.
Originally, Huo Qiaoqiao had handed over the bag of poison to Xiao Bailing, but suddenly found that the bag of poison was just a pack of laxatives, and it was useless at all.
The two little nuns drank the two cups of tea, but they just made a few more trips to the hut.
As for Siyu, he didn't use the copper teapot, but it was even more fine.
Xiao Bailing handed over the news and told Huo Qiaoqiao.
The latter couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to tell Zuo Mingzhu the truth again.
Zuo Mingzhu was surprised.
She had seen that prescription with her own eyes, so there should be no mistake, and she recorded every medicine in it.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
But why does Siyu have no effect after drinking it?
Just when she was puzzled, her personal maid entered the painting and reported to her at the door: "Miss, Mrs. Zuo, the old lady asked you to go over and go to his study!" ”
Zuo Mingzhu felt very strange when he heard this, why did his grandfather suddenly call himself?
Will something happen?
Suddenly it occurred to her that her grandfather had never let her into his study, and this time it was an exception.
She agreed and nodded: "Okay, you tell grandpa, I'll go over in a while." ”
When she was about to go out, she suddenly thought of a very terrible thing, that is, her grandfather should not know that she had peeked at his prescription.
The prescription was hidden by her grandfather, and she found it by accident.
Thinking of this, she was a little frightened, and hurriedly stopped the painting, and asked, "Didn't Grandpa say anything, does he look very angry?" ”
"No, Master Zuo, he seems to be no different from usual, what's wrong?"
I asked with some worries.
"It's nothing, maybe I'm too worried, you go down!"
He bowed down and bowed and went out.
At this time, there was only Zuo Mingzhu in the room.
She thought about it and felt that this matter was a little weird, maybe she was really worried about it.
She remembered that after reading the prescription, she returned it to the book as it was.
She remembered even the number of pages, so how could grandpa know?
Thinking of this, she let out a sigh of relief, maybe she was really worried, and it was the first time she had hurt someone, but she was just a little nervous.
But when she came to her grandfather's study, she suddenly found that her grandfather's face was wrong, and she came to her, and her face sank.
Taishi Zuo was in the study, dressed very casually, wearing a wide thin silk gown, very cool.
Seeing her coming, he motioned to the girl next to her and the little maid to go out together.
Only her grandfather and grandson were left in the study, but her grandfather ignored him, still with a book of Analects in front of him, studying sentence by sentence.
She felt embarrassed.
Grandpa has never treated her like this, he has always doted on her, what's wrong with this today?
There was only the sound of turning pages in the study, and the master, the master did not raise his head, and looked at her again, so she had to stand there awkwardly.
She really didn't know, what was the reason why her grandfather came to her?
It shouldn't be the matter of that prescription, she stood there, at a loss, just wanted to sit down, but was ordered by her grandfather: "Stand up!" ”
She had no choice but to stand there obediently, not daring to move.
Grandpa was already full of silver hair, and now he had taken off his wide official uniform, looking thin and withered.
The wrinkles on his face were like a soft crumpled rag.
At this moment, Taishi Zuo was covered under a wide white gauze silk robe, like a dried corpse, and his whole body was lifeless.
The only thing that could see a hint of vitality was the cold eyes.
At this moment, Zuo Mingzhu was obviously a little impatient, but she didn't dare to disobey her grandfather, and kept looking around.
She wanted to see if the book with the prescription had made her grandfather move, but an old voice sounded.
"What are you looking at?"
This frightened Zuo Mingzhu, she didn't expect that her grandfather would suddenly raise his head to look at her and ask her such a sentence.
She didn't dare to look at her grandfather's old yellow eyes, but at this moment, her grandfather's old eyes were yellow, and the pair of amber pupils were exceptionally clear.
"Didn't see anything ......"
Before she could finish speaking, her grandfather interrupted her and said, "Have you ever touched that prescription?" ”
She panicked.
"No, no, I don't know what the prescription is?"
But the grandfather did not respond to her directly, but continued: "Are you trying to poison someone? ”
She was really panicked this time.
"Grandpa, what are you talking about, how dare your grandson?" It's easy
Originally, she wanted to defend herself, but suddenly she saw that a layer of darkness in her grandfather's eyes gradually diffused.
She was so frightened that she lowered her head and didn't dare to squeak anymore.
I only heard my grandfather say faintly: "You are so stupid, just rely on you, and you still want to kill people invisibly, you are honest and be your good girl at home, don't do anything more!" ”
When she heard this, her heart was shocked, but she still had a smile on her face, and Qiangzi argued: "Grandpa, I don't understand what you say?"
When Taishi Zuo heard that his granddaughter was still so hard-mouthed, he couldn't help laughing.
Zuo Mingzhu couldn't hear her grandfather's laughter the most, and her grandfather's laughter made her uncomfortable.
The sound was like the sound of a person, a dead man, nailed to a coffin, desperately scratching at the coffin board.
She shuddered, and didn't dare to look up at her grandfather's face.
"What kind of evil did I create in my last life, it's really not as good as the generation, just with your scheming, you still want to kill people?"
Zuo Mingzhu completely understood, it was useless to say anything now, because everything was exposed, although she didn't know how all this she had done was exposed.
But Grandpa's next words shocked her even more.
"You'd better stay away from Chen Siyu, he can't threaten you at all!"
How did grandpa know Chen Siyu's name? What's going on here?
She quickly raised her head and looked at her grandfather with puzzled eyes.
"Grandpa, you're ......"
"How do you know, right?"
Zuo Mingzhu nodded, his eyes were very frightened.
"Humph!"
Taishi Zuo snorted coldly, and did not answer her question directly, but talked about the prescription again.
"This prescription did make you guess correctly, it is the formula of the Seven Killing Poison, but you are too stupid, don't you see that this prescription is missing two flavors of medicine?"
It was only then that Zuo Mingzhu suddenly realized, no wonder the poison didn't work.
Obviously, there should be seven flavors of medicine for seven kills, and only five flavors are written on the recipe, so what about the other two flavors?
Undoubtedly, only Grandpa knows the answer.
This time she completely confessed, but she was still a little puzzled, "Grandpa, how did you know that I had read this prescription?" ”
Taishi Zuo casually took out the book with the prescription in his hand and slammed it on the desk, his expression seemed to be full of despair.
"To tell you the truth, if you really get together the Seven Flavor Medicine and kill that person, your grandfather will still be glad for it!"
Zuo Mingzhu was ashamed of his grandfather's words, but his heart was full of anger.
I thought to myself, the ghost could guess that there were two flavors of medicine outside the prescription, and where the two flavors of medicine were.
"Grandpa......"
Zuo Mingzhu opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say, she really didn't understand why her grandfather was so disappointed in herself.
Taishi Zuo seemed to see through his granddaughter's thoughts, and said with a wry smile: "In this book, you remember the number of pages of the prescription correctly, but you didn't see that I put three gray hairs between the pages!" ”
When Zuo Mingzhu heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned, she really didn't calculate so finely.
At that moment, she seemed to understand what her grandfather had said, and a great sense of frustration came over her.
She couldn't help but hang her head, but her grandfather didn't plan to let her go.
"Although your reading of the subset of history is not bad, and your knowledge is okay, but you lack a keen heart, only this point, you are destined to live some peaceful days, you are the same as your Lao Tzu, you better get married early!"
Obviously, Zuo Mingzhu was very dissatisfied with his grandfather's conclusion, and said coldly: "Grandpa, why don't you let me kill Chen Siyu?" That rotten woman! ”
"I didn't stop you, it's all because you can't kill at all, you're so stupid that you don't need me to worry about you!"
Taishi Zuo said coldly, Zuo Mingzhu was ashamed of what he said, and couldn't help but reply, "Who would have known that you would actually hide those two flavors of medicine?"
"It's just that you don't know, anyone can guess that if you really stand on top of the court and fight with people, those who can't guess are already dead!"
When Zuo Mingzhu heard this, she felt a chill in her heart, she was thinking, am I really useless?
"Do you still want to ask me how I know the woman's name?"
Taishi Zuo interrupted her thoughts.
Zuo Mingzhu was also very curious why his grandfather cared about that woman, and looked at his grandfather with a puzzled expression.
Then Grandpa told a fact that shocked her.
"That's because she is the person the prince likes, and she is destined to enter the palace, so I warn you again, you keep me away from her, be careful, you will ruin our Zuo family!"
When Zuo Mingzhu heard his grandfather say this, it was really like five thunderbolts, and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time.
From this, I think that if Chen Siyu is really killed, once the prince knows that it was his own hand, I am afraid that the Zuo family will really reach the point of ruin.
Thinking of this, she felt that her hands and feet were cold, and her whole person felt like falling into an ice cellar.
Taishi Zuo looked at his granddaughter's appearance and sneered: "You will read a book here tonight, think about what you should do, and what can you do?" ”
After Zuo Taishi said this, he brushed his sleeves away, leaving only Zuo Mingzhu, who was still in shock, and his heart could not be calm for a long time.
At this time, Chen Siyu did not feel the danger at all, and she was only one step away from her, and she was still seriously practicing her preparations for the Oiran Contest parade.
The first round of assessment will come tomorrow, which will mean that nearly 100 of the more than 300 red-card girls may be brushed down.
Siyu has already made up his mind that he can't be brushed down no matter what.
