Chapter Seventy-Three: The Autumn Flowers Have Not Fallen
The little palace maid was in a panic, her face was full of tears as she spoke, and An Su couldn't care about comforting her at this time, it was important to save Xu Meiren.
"Don't panic first, show me the pastry that Xu Meiren has eaten." An Su pulled the little palace maid to the palace, and Suo Hua was also in a hurry to follow.
Xu Meiren was lying on the bed in the dormitory, and the whole person was unconscious. The palace eunuchs in the palace gathered in a circle, all of them were in a hurry, but they couldn't think of any way. An Su ignored them first, and asked the little palace maid to bring the pastry, then sniffed it carefully, and broke another piece to examine it carefully.
"Now you do as I say." An Su clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, "Don't gather around here, the air around everyone is too stuffy, but it will aggravate Niangniang's condition." ”
"You two go to the Tai Hospital, find some black ferns and forsythia, and if there is a Tai Doctor now, call them together."
"And the two of you, hurry up and go to the emperor, and be sure to report the situation of the mother clearly."
“......”
"Wait, who are you? Why should we listen to you? An Suzheng was commanding in an orderly manner, and suddenly a palace maid interjected dissatisfiedly.
"If you don't want Xu Ji Niangniang to have an accident, just do what I say!" An Su roared, and everyone present was stunned, they had never seen a palace maid with such momentum.
“...... Promise. Everyone replied in hindsight, and then went to their own errands according to An Su's arrangement.
The imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital still did not come back in the Jiaofang Palace, but fortunately, the name of each medicinal material was marked on the medicinal herb cabinet, and the palace maid packed the black fern and forsythia back according to An Su's instructions.
"Suo Hua, you're here to help me." An Su took the medicinal herbs and found a big bowl, "Put these medicinal herbs in it and crush them, let people boil a pot of hot water to brew, and when they are cool, they will be served by the mother." ”
An Su was about to run out after speaking, but Suo Hua hurriedly stopped her: "Wait, An Suo, where are you going?" ”
"These herbs are the most basic antidote, maybe they can suppress the poison, but they can't eradicate it, I'm going to find someone to save my mother." An Su explained as he walked out, and when he arrived at the door, he remembered that it was strange, and said to the people in the courtyard, "Before I come back, you must guard the Huanning Palace, except for the emperor, no one is allowed to come in, including the queen mother and the queen!" ”
"No." Everyone naturally responded, and it seemed that in just half an hour, they had already recognized An Su's command.
Now it is autumn, and some big trees on the side of the palace road are slowly dropping some fallen leaves, which look pink and tender, like a grand flower dance. But An Su ran in a hurry, she couldn't see these things in her eyes, and she was only worried about Xu Meiren's situation. The Changting Hall is far away from the location of the East and West Sixth Palaces, and it is precisely because of this that the emperor allocated it to Gu Wenzhou to live, but now it has caused a lot of trouble for An Su.
Almost ran off his shoes a few times, and accidentally bumped into a few people, An Su finally arrived at the door of the Changting Palace. She didn't have time to tidy herself up, and stumbled in. There were only two palace maids who swept the door, and they looked soft and weak, and the arms holding her were also weak.
"Two sisters, I am a friend of Gu Xiangshi, I have an urgent matter with him, and I ask you to help inform me."
"It's really unfortunate that Gu Xiangshi is not in the hall at this time." The little palace maid also spoke softly, "If the girl wants to look for him, please come back in an hour!" ”
"An hour?"
"That's right, Gu Xiangshi has been going out for more than a month, and he will go out for about two hours at this time every few days, and it's too unfortunate that the girl came."
"No, human life is at stake, I can't wait that long." An Su was so anxious that he stomped his feet, "Then do you know where Gu Xiangshi went?" ”
The little palace maid shook her head, but the other one was thoughtful: "Gu Xiangshi seems to have mentioned it once, it seems to be ...... It seems to be going to Yongxiang. ”
"Yongxiang?" An Su was suspicious, "What is he going to do there?" ”
"Then we don't know."
An Su didn't have time to think about it, since he went there, she would go over to find him, fortunately, she was also familiar with the place in Yongxiang, so she wouldn't be confused in the past. Thanking the two palace maids, An Su turned around and continued to run, her feet aching, but now she had completely forgotten about this feeling.
From the outside, Yongxiang is an alley surrounded by many palaces, and this alley is very long, so it is even more inconvenient to find. The outer layer of Yongxiang is almost all around a stinking gutter, where everything is there, leftovers that have gone rancid, dirty water that I don't know what we used it for, and even human excrement. An Su knew that the room she used to be in Yongxiang was next to this stinky ditch, so she endured the stench and looked for it in circles.
It seemed that she was about to walk outside her former room, An Su heard a voice, she was lying in the corner and looked out, the person who was dressed in white, and her image was extremely incommensurate with that place, who was not Gu Wenzhou. He seemed to be talking to the people inside through a hole in the wall, and Ansu could hear them a little more clearly if he listened carefully.
"You take the money, or get Shangguan Ansu some good food as usual." Gu Wenzhou said as he handed a money bag through the hole in the wall, "How is she these days?" ”
The person over there pushed it out again: "Gu Xiangshi, Shangguan Ansu has hit a lot of luck, you don't have to come again in the future." She was lucky to win the love of Xu Meiren, and she was already going to Huanning Hall on an errand, so you can rest assured. ”
"Really? Is this true? Gu Wenzhou was delighted.
"Of course it's true, can the minions still lie to you?" The eunuch's voice inside was lowered, "But Gu Xiangshi, what do you have to do with that Shangguan Ansu?" ”
"We're friends."
"Can a friend do this?" The eunuch obviously didn't believe it, "The stinky ditch outside this Yongxiang is more powerful than the smell of the Sinking Water Pavilion, but ordinary people will never approach it easily." For the sake of Shangguan Ansu, you ran here every once in a while, staying for a few hours in a row, just to listen to her voice. Does this seem like a friend's doing? ”
Gu Wenzhou chuckled lightly, and handed over the money bag again: "I'm bothering you these days, these should be regarded as hard work!" ”
"Thank you Gu Xiangshi, thank you, then I won't ask more, you can go back quickly!" The eunuch took the money and shut up. Gu Wenzhou turned around with a smile on his face, and saw An Su with tears in his eyes.
"Wen Zhou, I've been looking for you for a long time, so you're here!"
"Aren't you being asked to go to the Huanning Palace? Why did you get here again? Gu Wenzhou hurriedly walked to her side.
An Su was asked by him like this, and remembered his business, so he quickly rubbed his eyes: "I went to the Changting Palace, and the palace maids said that you came here, so I came all the way over." Wen Zhou, come with me to save people, Xu Meiren was poisoned, and the doctors all went to Jiaofang Palace, I first gave her black fern and forsythia, and then came to you, do you have a way? ”
"What kind of poison?" Gu Wenzhou also knew that this matter was very important, and hurriedly followed her to Huanning Hall and asked.
"The poison is in the pastry, and I can't see what the poison is, but I still have the pastry, you can take a look." An Su led him all the way to the wild, and when he arrived at the Huanning Palace, he was already out of breath.
"This is Huanning Palace, no foreign men are allowed to enter without permission!" The two eunuchs guarding the gate stopped them.
Gu Wenzhou was about to speak, but An Su took the first step forward: "Now that Xu Ji Niangniang is in danger, do you still have to take care of these small sections?" If something happens to the mother, the entire Huanning Palace will be buried together, you let Gu Xiangshi in, if the emperor blames him, we will all bear the responsibility, and it will have nothing to do with you. ”
The two eunuchs glanced at each other, nodded quietly, and let An Su and the others in.
The palace people in Huanning Hall are quite neat, and the things they have ordered them have been done one by one, and the emperor is also on his way over. Suo Hua saw An Su coming back, and hurriedly rushed to her: "An Su, I gave the medicine to Niangniang to drink as you said, and Niangniang sweated a lot, but her complexion seemed to be better, but she hadn't woken up yet." ”
Ansu nodded: "That's good." Wen Zhou, you go and see Niangniang first! ”
Xu Meiren had just taken a nap before, and even if she ate, she chewed slowly and swallowed slowly, so she didn't eat one or two pieces before she became poisonous. If you eat faster, I am afraid that the poisoning will be more serious, which is also a blessing in misfortune.
"Is there a knife?" Gu Wenzhou glanced at Xu Meiren and asked An Su.
An Su had only been in Huanning Hall for a few hours, and he didn't know much about the placement of items here, so he went around a lot to find a dagger. Gu Wenzhou took the dagger, then raised Xu Meiren's wrist with a handkerchief and slashed deeply on her wrist.
"Gu Xiangshi! What are you doing here? Our mother has no grievances with you, why do you want to harm our mother? The little palace maid who had just come in with a basin of water was shocked when she saw this, and pointed at An Su with trembling hands, "And you, our mother kindly brought you out of Yongxiang, you!" You have taken revenge! ”
"Shut up! Get out! Ansu glanced at her, not bothering to pay attention to her ignorance.
Let the blood on Xu Meiren's wrist flow for a while, and drain all the dark poisonous blood, Gu Wenzhou helped her bandage it. Xu Meiren's face turned pale, but after a while, she woke up slowly.
"Ansu, Ansu." Xu Meiren's voice was weak, and An Su hurried to her side.
"Mother, you're finally awake."
"Ansu, this palace knows that you saved this palace, and your voice has been heard by this palace." Xu Meiren gently held An Su's hand, "Take you from Yongxiang, this palace's decision is really not wrong." ”
"It was the mother who saved the slave maid first, so that the slave maid had the opportunity to serve the maid." An Su smiled slightly, "Niangniang is fine, the slave has already sent someone to invite the emperor, and the emperor will come over soon." ”
