Chapter 14: I didn't intend to let her go
In the small kitchen, Chun Tao pondered for an afternoon, but did not find a chance to start.
In the evening, she remembered the order given to her by her master, and her heart became more and more anxious, and Tian Chai's hand stopped, and she stood in a daze at the door.
"Spring peach, spring peach!" Qingshuang shouted impatiently outside the door.
"Hey! The slave is here! Chun Tao heard the voice, finally reacted, and walked outside the door.
"The general is a little hungry, so he asked the two mothers to make a bowl of white fungus lotus seed soup." Qingshuang commanded.
"Ah, those two mothers are not here, let the slave do it." Chun Tao found an opportunity and took the initiative to ask for help.
"This ......" Qingshuang pretended to be embarrassed, and quickly compromised again, "Really, why is there no one at this juncture!" The general is waiting to eat, you can do it! Come on. ”
"Yes! The slave will be fine right away. Chun Tao nodded.
Qingshuang came out of the small kitchen, Chun Tao added firewood to boil the lotus seed soup, and when it was almost ripe, she quickly opened a small bottle secretly and poured some powder into it.
When it was done, he personally served it to Chu Nanyue.
Chu Nanyue was studying with a military book, and when she saw Chun Tao kneeling on the ground, she raised her hand: "Get up first, put it on the table, and I'll eat it later." ”
Chun Tao wanted to finish the task early, and couldn't help but be anxious: "Isn't the general hungry?" Let's eat it early, the temperature is just right. If you put it down, this lotus seed soup will not taste good. ”
"But I don't want to drink anymore." Chu Nanyue put down the book and looked at Chun Tao unhappily. "Do I need you to teach me whether to drink or not? Is that how your former master taught you to fight against your master? ”
"The slave knows it's wrong!" Seeing Chu Nanyue's anger, Chun Tao froze in place. After all, Chu Nanyue is a general, unlike the young lady in the mansion who is beaten and scolded, if she is annoyed, she will kill!
"Your name is Chun Tao, right? Seeing you've been busy all day, have you eaten? Chu Nanyue suddenly regained her previous indifference and asked gently.
"Back to the general's words, not yet." Chun Tao didn't know why, so she replied honestly.
Chu Nanyue pushed the lotus seed soup on the table: "Then you must be hungry, this lotus seed soup will be given to you to drink." ”
"Slaves don't dare!" Chun Tao's lips trembled in fright.
"What dare you dare to do, you don't have to be afraid, I often reward Qingshuang, she is not as timid as you." Chu Nanyue said with a smile.
"But...... This is for the general, how can I ......" Chun Tao said with a shudder.
"Give it to you and you'll drink! If you don't drink it, General Ben will be angry! Chu Nanyue ran out of patience.
Chun Tao picked up the lotus seed soup, pursed her lips at the mouth of the bowl, and tears had already flowed.
By this time, she had already seen it, and Chu Nanyue had probably noticed it. But if she were to drink the lotus seed soup, what would happen to her?
Chu Nanyue was still unmoved, only to see that Chun Tao finally couldn't stand the pressure and fell to her knees: "Chun Tao is obedient to others, so I have no choice but to ask the general for forgiveness!" ”
Qingshuang walked over and took away the lotus seed soup, tested the poison with a silver needle, and said to Chu Nanyue: "General, this lotus seed soup is indeed poisonous, and it is also a common poison in the rivers and lakes. ”
To ruin a woman's most valued face, the viciousness of her mind is obvious.
"Your master is so clever." Chu Nanyue sighed.
She stood up and looked at Chun Tao who was kneeling on the ground, and her eyes gradually revealed a chill.
The dagger in Qingshuang's hand pressed against Chun Tao's neck: "Say, who sent you!" ”
"No...... Slaves can't say! Chun Tao thought about her ending and shook her head desperately.
"Then let me guess." Chu Nanyue walked over and stared at her with interest.
Chun Tao's eyes dodged, only to hear Chu Nanyue speak firmly: "It's my good sister who sent you." ”
"How could it be ......" Chun Tao's eyes widened in horror, looking incredulous.
"General?" Qingshuang was obviously taken aback, "You haven't interrogated yet!" ”
"No interrogation." Chu Nanyue said indifferently, "People who can hate my appearance so much, except for Chu Nanxin, I can't think of a second person in the world." If I really want to give a reason, I saw Chu Nanxin before I joined the army, and I have a little impression of the maids around her. ”
At that time, she went out to join the army, so she naturally couldn't rest assured that her only sister was relieved, and she told Chu Nanxin's maids a lot, and even their faces were familiar.
I never thought I'd use it here one day.
"General Chu spares his life! It was the second lady who forced the slave to do it, and she was usually in the house, so she beat and scolded the slave and maid. She asked the slave maid to wait in the downtown area, and when someone from the general's mansion came, she took the initiative to step forward. If the slave doesn't do it, she will kill the slave! Chun Tao cried.
"Alright, of course I'm not going to kill you." Chu Nanyue is the most annoying woman, crying and crying at every turn, and she has a headache at the moment. "You can't go back to the Chu family, but I don't dare to use you, you might as well live in a different place."
Saying that, Chu Nanyue asked Qingshuang to take the silver and sent Chun Tao away, and Chun Tao thanked her and left.
"General, if you let people go so easily, then this person's certificate will be gone." Qingshuang was puzzled.
"Do you think that if you send it to Chu Nanxin, she will confess?" Chu Nanyue asked rhetorically. "This girl is not her confidant, and she has been resold. When the time comes, as long as she pushes, she will naturally be completely clean, and you can't make a mistake. ”
Qingshuang became angry: "Then let's just let Chu Nanxin go?" ”
Chu Nanyue looked at the bowl on the table and smiled: "I didn't plan to let her go." If she doesn't punish her, she probably won't learn to be honest. ”
"Then the general is going to let her do it for herself?" As she spoke, Qingshuang picked up the vial left by Chun Tao.
"No!" Chu Nanyue shook his head and said.
Using stratagems to ruin a woman's appearance, this kind of pickled thing, she Chu Nanyue disdains to do it!
Qingshuang heard what she meant, so she suggested: "General, why don't you give Qingshuang an idea for you?" ”
Jingning Hou Mansion.
It's night.
Chu Nanxin was bathing under the service of the maid, and a figure faintly flashed on the beam. She finished her bath, ate the tea on the table, and went to sleep.
Day 2.
Before dawn, Chu Nanxin felt that his throat was dry and smoking, and he was thirsty.
She was in a hurry to shout for someone to pour water, and her throat slid down, but she couldn't make a sound. Chu Nanxin cleared his throat, and finally let out a rough voice, and was immediately frightened by himself and cried.
When the maid outside heard the noise, she hurriedly came in to check, and saw that Chu Nanxin's voice was suddenly hoarse like a man in the prime of life, and hurriedly ran to report to the second lady of Chu.
"Second lady, it's not good! Second Miss She ......"
"What's wrong with Xin'er?" Second Lady Chu's heart was pinched.
"She has a voice for some reason, she speaks like a man, and now she seems to be almost speechless." The maid replied with tears.
