Chapter 15: Self-Inflicted

15 Zhao Ruoting said helplessly: "I forced it." ”

Zhong Lichun sighed and said, "If it weren't too much, I wouldn't take their lives." ”

Zhao Ruoting arched his hand and said, "Such a foolish brother has thanked me in advance." ”

Zhong Lichun waved his hand and said, "No need, it's up to them." After saying that, he got up and went back to the attic.

Zhao Ruoting looked at the thin figure in the distance and fell into deep thought, is this really his sister? How to say that the tone of voice is like a person who has been in a high position for a long time, with an imposing body, superb chess skills, and an understanding of the court game, she doesn't look like a fourteen-year-old boudoir girl at all. It's obviously a fourteen-year-old girl. His own half-sister. Zhao Ruoting was puzzled and puzzled.

The next day, he said goodbye to Zhao Zhongquan early. Take the little guy back to Beijing.

Zhong Lichun looked at the direction he was leaving, looking into the distance, his heart fluttered, heh...... Beijing, I'll go there sooner or later. Tian Yujiang, Xia Yingchun, since I was reborn once, even if I can't kill you, why don't I get some interest back! and Ning'er, thinking of her young son, her heart was like a knife, and she couldn't wait to fly to the capital and the palace as soon as possible. But I can't, I can't go now. She was waiting, waiting for an opportunity, and the opportunity for a five-year draft girl would soon come.

The autumn is high and cool, the bright moon hangs high, and it is the Mid-Autumn Festival in a flash.

After Zhong Lichun got up and freshened up, he hurriedly came to the front hall, Old Lady Zhao, Zhao Zhongquan, Ding, Chen, Zhao Ruomei, and two strange men were all in the hall. Zhong Lichun hurriedly took a few steps and stepped forward to give a blessing, "I've seen my grandmother, my father, my mother, and my second wife." My daughter was late. ”

Zhao Ruomei said bitterly on the side: "Yo! It's such a big shelf, and the whole family is waiting for you. ”

Zhong Lichun coughed lightly a few times and said: "Father, mother, daughter, yesterday I occasionally felt cold, I was unwell, and I was late, please grandmother, father, mother, punish." After saying that, he knelt on the ground.

Zhao Zhongquan and Ding said nervously: "Then go and ask a doctor to take a look." ”

Zhong Lichun shook his head, "Daughter, it's okay, I just feel dizzy and weak, just rest a little, don't worry about Dr. Ma." ”

Ding Shi hurriedly got up and helped her up, stretched out his hand to probe her forehead, and exclaimed, "It's so hot, I have a fever, go and ask the doctor to come over for treatment." ”

Old Madam Zhao waved her hand and said, "Since you are not feeling well, then go back to the room to raise it." ”

Zhong Lichun bowed his head and said, "My daughter is unwell, please grandmother, my father will forgive my daughter for being rude, and my daughter will retire first." After speaking, he glanced at the two strangers. With the support of Mei Xiang, he returned to Qingya Garden. Lying on the bed, he laughed softly, "Chen, Zhao Ruomei, look at what tricks you guys are doing today, it's not those old-fashioned things." Aren't you looking for a chance, I'm going to give you a chance now. Don't shoot yourself in the foot. ”

As a general who has experienced a hundred battles, she understood a little bit in her heart when she saw the two strange men in the hall today. She had a fever, she practiced her sword last night, she sweated profusely, and she shivered from a cold wind, she didn't care about it at the time, but she didn't want to get up this morning and have a headache. Zhong Lichun looked at the thin little body and lamented, "This little body is too bad, and the physique is too weak." Thinking about his previous life, galloping on the battlefield, coming in the wind, going in the rain, when did he get the wind and cold. ”

Ding quickly brought his husband over to treat Zhong Lichun, and the old doctor diagnosed his pulse for a while and said, "It's okay, if you suffer from a little cold, drink some medicine, lie down, and sweat." After speaking, he opened a prescription, and Ding took the prescription and handed it to Xiaomei and the doctor to grab the medicine.

After Zhong Lichun drank the medicine, he lay on the bed, covered with a quilt, sweating, and felt less dizzy. It's a lot better, and I have some strength in my body.

At night, when Mei Xiang was decocting medicine in the kitchen, she heard a Qian mother outside the door, oops, covering her feet and howling there. Mei Xiang hurriedly got up and went out to help her up, and she would be sent back to the room to rest. In the plum fragrance just left.

Zhao Ruomei hurriedly came to the kitchen, took out a packet of medicinal powder from her arms, poured it into the medicine jar on the stove, picked up the chopsticks and stirred it, stuffed the paper bag into the stove and burned it, saw that there was no one left and right, and hurriedly left.

Mei Xiang returned to the kitchen, knowing nothing about it, decocted the medicine, poured it on the bowl, and carefully brought it back to the attic of Qing Ya Yuan.

Zhong Lichun had just finished dinner, took the decoction, put it to his lips, and smelled a faint smell. His face changed, and he put the medicine bowl on Zhuo and asked, "Mei Xiang, you personally suffered this medicine." ”

Mei Xiang saw that her face was displeased, and for some reason, she was worried in her heart, and said, "It was boiled by the slave maid herself, is there a problem?" ”

Zhong Lichun's face sank, "But someone has touched the medicinal soup, and they have left in the middle." ”

Mei Xiang's face changed and said: "The rich mother sprained her foot while carrying water, and the slave maid left for a while when she helped her back to the room. ”

Zhong Lichun nodded, "I know, don't publicize this matter, and don't talk about it to outsiders, if someone asks me if I have taken medicine, you will say that I have already drunk medicine." Got it? ”

Mei Xiang was so frightened that she didn't dare to ask more, and hurriedly said, "The slave knows." ”

Zhong Lichun waved his hand and said, "You go down first!" "I'll call you if there's something, but I won't call you, and don't get up no matter what you hear. Did you hear me clearly?

Mei Xiang hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss, your illness ......." ”

Zhong Lichun shook his head, my illness is fine, in short, I won't call you, don't come in, you talk to Xiaoli Xiaotao. Mei Xiang retreated.

Zhong Lichun looked at the medicine bowl and sneered, Zhao Ruomei, you asked for it, you can't blame me. So he sat on the bed and meditated with his eyes closed. Hearing the drum beating the second watch, he got up quietly, walked down the attic, flashed and limped, and a few jumped into Zhao Ruomei's room, gently inserted the dagger into it, pushed open the window door, and jumped in. A hand knife slashed the sleeping Zhao Ruomei unconscious, picked it up, opened the door, quickly returned to his attic, put her on the bed, picked up the medicine bowl, and poured it down. Looking at the sleeping Zhao Ruomei, Zhong Lichun covered the quilt and put down the bed. sneered: "Do it yourself, you just wait to be comfortable tonight!" ”

After speaking, he closed the door of the room, turned around and came to Ding's room in the backyard, Ding had just laid down not long ago, when he heard a knock on the door, and asked in surprise: "Who?" ”

"Mother, it's me, Yan'er, you open the door first, let me in."

When Ding heard Zhong Lichun's voice, he hurriedly got up and lit the lamp, opened the door, and saw Zhong Lichun standing at the door alone, so he hurriedly pulled her in, and said in surprise: "Yan'er, it's so late, you haven't slept yet, what are you doing here!" ”
