Chapter 13 Counting is Counting
The style of the ready-to-wear sent by the sewing room seems to have intentionally followed Shen Jiahe's preferences before, and it has not changed much from the original one in her own cabinet.
After the sample clothes were selected, the needlework room wanted to take it back and make some changes in the details, but Shen Jiahe glanced at Bai Wei and smiled: "Bai Wei in my room, needlework is also excellent, she knows my preferences better than you, so I don't have to bring it back." ”
Bai Wei immediately stepped forward to take the clothes that the little maid was holding, and after all the people in the sewing room retreated, she said to herself: "The little maid at the end who followed behind seems to be a little wrong. ”
Shen Jiahe only looked at the list of official ladies in his hand and smiled without saying a word, and when he met Bai Wei and asked what needed to be adjusted in his clothes, Shen Jiahe thought for a while and said, "Carefully check the stitches and don't miss anything, and you can do the rest yourself." ”
When Bi Tao returned to Qin Xiangju from the needlework room with a sad face, Qin Xiaoshuang knew that things might not go well, but she still asked without giving up, "How is it?" ”
"The princess didn't even look at the dress we had tampered with." Bi Tao replied strangely.
Qin Xiaoshuang also frowned: "Was she found out?" ”
Bi Tao shook her head and said: "It doesn't look like it, the slave maid was drugged in one of the most dignified skirts inside, but the princess picked the most inconspicuous set, and the girl in the needlework room originally wanted to take it back to sort out some details, but it was refused." ”
Qin Xiaoshuang sat down suddenly, the tea in her hand had become cold, and she whispered: "Could it be that she has changed her temperament?" ”
Bi Tao responded: "Could it be just an accident, after all, when she was in the boudoir, she always had a dignified temperament, and she couldn't change overnight." ”
Qin Xiaoshuang didn't speak again, because she remembered that Shen Jiahe was liked by the Queen Mother, and because of her calm and dignified temperament, she frowned, if this matter really made her find out in advance, then she could only think of another way later, and she had to be more careful.
She opened a rosewood box where she had placed her jewelry, and in a field of precious stones, gold and silver, lay a small white porcelain vase.
Qin Xiaoshuang looked at it for a long time, and finally made up his mind to take it out, although it was a bit risky, but if he wanted to restore his former scenery in the palace, Shen Jiahe must not stay.
She handed it to Bi Tao and whispered: "You can do this matter yourself, the person in the kitchen is more reliable than Mother Zhao, and this time it will definitely be hit with one blow." ”
Because he didn't sleep much in King Kang's Mansion, Shen Jiahe changed his bedroom in King Kang's Mansion into a study, so that he didn't have to go to other rooms to deal with the account books.
Shen Jiahe has just taken power, everything has to be reorganized, she has been in the study for a longer time, and even lunch is sent into the room for use.
After seeing that everyone else went down, Shen Jiahe asked with a smile, "Something to come to me?" ”
Xiao Qi also replied with a smile: "The princess is really like a god. ”
Shen Jiahe shook his head and said: "This point should be the busiest time in your kitchen, if there is something wrong, I'm afraid you won't have time to see me, let's talk about it." ”
Xiao Qi nodded and said: "In the past few days, Bi Tao from Qin Township has come to the kitchen a little frequently, and the slave maid felt that something was wrong, so she paid more attention, and actually let me hear that they actually intended to poison the princess in private." ”
Shen Jiahe raised his eyes to look at the food that Xiao Qi put on the coffee table on the side, and asked softly, "Is this these?" Do you know what medicine it is? ”
Xiao Qi shook his head and replied: "The slave and maid don't listen much, but it's a deadly medicine anyway, the slave and maid are afraid that something will go wrong, and after listening to it, they hurriedly caught up with the maid who delivered the meal, and they were busy rushing over to tell you, so I didn't see who was talking to Bi Tao in a hurry." ”
Shen Jiahe nodded, and then instructed Bai Wei: "Pour out more than half of everything, find a place to bury it, remember not to let people see it, let's have some refreshments today." ”
Then he turned his face to Xiao Qi and said: "You should not know anything, if someone asks, just say that I will find you to reconcile a pair of accounts, and you will only run this trip." ”
After Shen Jiahe waited for Xiao Qi to leave, he sorted out the account book in his hand, called Bai Wei, and whispered a few words.
Then he closed his eyes and lay on the bed, Bai Wei pinched her thigh, and then immediately rushed out of the house and shouted: "It's not good, the princess is poisoned, you ...... Get a doctor. ”
The maids in the small courtyard panicked for a while, the poisoning of the princess was a big deal, and if they were not careful, they would all be accused of taking care of themselves.
At the same time that Bai Ying went to find the house doctor, the little maid in the courtyard also went to find the housekeeper Lu Gonggong.
Pei Shu listened to what Gonggong Lu said with a calm face, and asked in a cold voice, "What did the house doctor say?" ”
"The old slave still doesn't know that before the little maid in the princess's courtyard came to tell him, the government doctor hadn't started to diagnose and treat him." Gonggong Lu bowed and replied.
At this time, there was a panicked shout from outside the door: "Lord Wang, the house doctor said that he can't do anything, please ask the prince to come over as soon as possible." ”
Pei Shu's face became even colder, and then he ordered Alai beside him: "Send someone to guard the princess, not a single fly can be released." ”
Shen Jiahe was poisoned in the mansion, not to mention that he couldn't explain it in the Prime Minister's Mansion, even the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother were probably not good, so for the sake of today, he could only hide the news first, and then slowly think of countermeasures.
He stood at the door and wanted to tell Gonggong Lu to ask for a royal doctor, but when he thought of the trouble that would be caused by the people in the palace knowing about it, he had a headache, so he changed his words to Gonggong Lu and said: "Go and invite King Xian to come, just say ...... It was said that the princess had ingested poison by mistake and asked him to come and treat the princess. ”
Pei Shu didn't dare to delay, and when he saw that Father-in-law Lu went out, he took Alai to Shen Jiahe's small courtyard, and looked at it from a distance, the plaque on the arcade outside the courtyard was no longer visible, and the weeds were overgrown next to it, looking like it was not as good as the small courtyard of the farmhouse, Pei Shu walked in with a black face, and saw that it was even more dilapidated inside, which should be because it had not been repaired for many years.
The princess of the dignified Kang Wangfu didn't even live as well as a side concubine, Pei Shu asked Alai coldly: "Who is taking care of the princess's courtyard, how can it be so dilapidated." ”
Alai lowered his head, muttering in his heart that it was not arranged by you, but he also knew that this would Pei Shu was angry, so he could only accompany him and ask carefully after saying it.
Pei Shu didn't feel sorry for Shen Jiahe's bad life, he was just afraid that if someone came from the palace, seeing this scene, he would probably be lectured again.
He stepped into the room, just in time to see Bai Wei picking up a handkerchief to wipe the blood from the corner of Shen Jiahe's mouth, and the blush made his eyes blacken.
He suppressed a little discomfort in his heart and asked coldly, "How could the princess be poisoned?" How do you guys serve? ”
Bai Wei trembled and stretched out her hand to point to the remaining food on the coffee table, and cried: "I ate these at noon, and the princess suddenly fainted to the ground before she finished using it, bleeding from the corners of her mouth, and the slave maid ...... Slaves....... ”
Alai took a silver needle and tried all the meals, and finally in a bowl of pear soup that was about to bottom, the silver needle turned black.
Bai Ying looked at the bowl of sugar water that Ah Lai was holding and said, "The princess likes Sydney sugar water the most, and the whole kitchen knows it." ”
Pei Shu's face was gloomy, and he was about to open his mouth to call people, but he saw Qin Xiaoshuang walking in from outside, looked at him and asked, "I heard that the princess's sister was poisoned?" ”
She had never seen Pei Shu's face so ugly, thinking that although Pei Shu had said for a long time that he didn't care about Shen Jiahe at all, he was more anxious than anyone else after seeing her accident.
Although she was uncomfortable with Pei Shu's concern for Shen Jiahe, did this mean that Shen Jiahe was already dying, she looked at Shen Jiahe who was lying motionless on the bed, her mind turned, and the next second she hurriedly covered her lips with a handkerchief and cried: "The princess wants to mourn, and the princess's sister will definitely not want to see the princess so sad for her." ”
She moved a few steps in front of Shen Jiahe's collapse, Bai Wei immediately blocked in front of her without moving, Qin Xiaoshuang didn't care at all, only raised her eyes and looked at Shen Jiahe's slightly closed eyes, and then cried again: "Sister went at a young age, wouldn't it be better to let Lord Shen send a white-haired person to a black-haired person, my sister and the prince suffered this catastrophe soon after they got married, it's really a hard life!" ”
The pear blossoms she cried brought rain, and Pei Shu was also a little moved, and was about to step forward to help her, but she heard Alai behind her say: "Lord Wang, King Xian has arrived." ”
He could only withdraw his outstretched hand, turned around and went outside the door to greet him, and immediately saluted when he saw Pei Yuan: "It's good that Uncle Huang is here, Uncle Huang hurry up and show her." ”
Pei Yuan glanced at Qin Xiaoshuang coldly, which made her suddenly feel cold all over her body, and she suddenly had some doubts in her heart, why did this scholar, who had always been the most gentle, have such cold eyes.
She flinched for a moment, and then automatically gave Pei Yuan a place.
Pei Yuan sat down on the side, stretched out two fingers and put them on Shen Jiahe's wrist, looked at them carefully for a long time, and couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth, and then took out a small piece of crystal clear rock candy from his arms and quickly stuffed it into Shen Jiahe's mouth.
Pei Shu frowned and asked, "Uncle Huang, what did you give the princess to eat?" ”
Pei Yuanyuan didn't reply, just looked at Shen Jiahe and said, "Antidote!" ”
He lowered his head and said to Shen Jiahe in an almost whispered voice: "You still have to play this kind of trick when you are so old, and you won't wake up after taking the antidote." ”
Shen Jiahe tasted a little sweetness on the tip of her tongue, it seemed that the sweetness spread all the way to her heart, she moved her eyelashes, and then opened her eyes and looked at Pei Yuan first.
Pei Yuan helped her sit up, but Qin Xiaoshuang looked at Shen Jiahe with wide eyes, and asked in horror, "What...... How so? ”
Shen Jiahe raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "What?" Do you want me to die? ”
Qin Xiaoshuang saw that everyone was staring at him, and hurriedly replied with a smile: "Sister, what are these words, how can the concubine want something to happen to my sister, my sister just saw that the antidote to the prince was very effective, and she was too happy for a while." ”
"Really? I thought you would be unhappy that I came back to life, after all, if I died, the power of the back house could not be returned to you. Shen Jiahe said mockingly.
Qin Xiaoshuang looked back at Pei Shu, and said in a coquettish voice: "Lord, the concubine is really happy, so she is a little gaffe, and it is naturally a good thing for my sister to be fine, so that the prince does not have to be sad." ”
