Chapter 124
After the two pillars of incense, Gu Ci came back, his face was pale, and he didn't need to ask Shen Qingwan and the old lady to know the results of the examination: "Imperial Doctor Chen said that there is a residue of poison on the pillow, and the poison in my grandmother is on the core of the pillow in the pillow." ”
"This poison is very special, colorless and odorless, and it will not be poisoned by a short period of contact, but my grandmother sleeps with it every night, and the contact with the poison is too long, and the poison penetrates through the snow satin and penetrates into the skin, and when it reaches a certain amount, it will poison ......"
It's really a clever spy, when checking the room, no one would think of taking the pillow apart to check, not to mention, the poison is colorless and tasteless, even if the pillow is opened, nothing will be found under normal circumstances.
"Grandmother, brother, what are your plans?" Shen Qingwan asked very carefully, if this kind of thing happened, neither of them would be in a good mood. Gu Ci's tone was cold, and he gritted his teeth: "If I find that person, I will definitely break her body to pieces!" ”
"Resign brother, calm down first, this matter is not urgent, and it needs to be discussed in the long run." Shen Qingwan persuaded softly.
"The audacious spy actually assassinated my grandmother under our noses, how can you calm me down." There was a monstrous anger hidden in Gu Ci's beautiful voice.
Shen Qingwan analyzed: "Brother Ci, Anshuntang goes in and out so many people every day, even if they don't have a chance to start, the maids in my grandmother's room are all suspicious, now, we are in the light, she is in the dark, we don't know who the spy is, she has been drugged twice, and she dares to blatantly stay in the General's Mansion, it can be seen that she is a long-term hidden person, and she knows how to disguise very well. The spy will find another opportunity to harm my grandmother, and then my grandmother's situation will be even more dangerous......"
Gu Ci tried his best to calm the anger in his chest, what Wan'er said was right, everything should be considered in the long run, and he was really anxious just now: "Then in Wan'er's opinion, what should I do?" ”
Shen Qingwan smiled coldly, and the light flashed in her beautiful eyes: "Play a good show for that spy to see, let her obediently send it to the door by herself, and throw herself into the net." ”
The north wind rose overnight, the whole capital suddenly became cold, the old lady was afraid of the cold, the inner room lit a brazier early, Shen Qing had dinner in the evening, went to Anshun Hall to ask the old lady to say goodbye, just entered the door, the old lady affectionately pulled her to sit on the side of the bed: "It's cold outside, come here, take the stove, and bring a brazier." ”
"Grandmother cares, actually, I'm not that cold." It's not winter yet, the old lady has a poor physique, so she will feel cold, and Shen Qingwan's room has no brazier, so she doesn't feel cold.
The old lady smiled amiably: "Young people are in good health and can't feel the cold, but you should also pay more attention, otherwise, when you are old, you will get sick like your grandmother." The maids came forward with the stove and brazier, Shen Qingwan took the stove and smiled softly: "Grandmother, is the silk handkerchief I gave you still on me?" I'd like to add two more butterflies on top of it, so that the pattern on the silk handkerchief won't be too monotonous......"
The old lady smiled and said: "I'm an old woman, and then I use a silk handkerchief embroidered with butterflies, and I can't make people laugh when I say it......
"Your silk handkerchief is only embroidered with some redbud flowers, it's too elegant, I'll help you become more festive......" Shen Qingwan stood up and scanned his eyes back and forth in the inner room: "Where did you put the silk handkerchief?" ”
Looking at the corner of the silk handkerchief, Shen Qingwan was overjoyed and walked over quickly: "Although my embroidery skills are not good, I can still let my grandmother take out her hand." ”
The silk handkerchief was pressed under the pillow, when Shen Qingwan pulled the silk handkerchief, he used too much force, and actually brought the pillow out, while the old lady grabbed the pillow, Shen Qingwan also grabbed it, and the hands of the two touched in mid-air, and actually threw the pillow out, impartially, and just fell into the burning brazier.
The snow satin ignited as soon as it entered the fire, and the flames burst out half a meter high, and the little maids in the inner room shouted in panic: "Where is the person...... It's on fire, come and put out the fire......"
Shen Qingwan was panicked on the surface, but in fact, he secretly observed every move of the maids in the inner room, not even letting go of any expression on their faces......
The fire did not spread, and after rising instantly, it slowly subsided, but the exquisite pillow turned into a pile of ashes.
"I'm sorry grandmother...... I didn't mean to......" Shen Qingwan stood in front of the bed, bowed her head and admitted her mistake, but the expressions of the maids just now flashed in her mind, trying to find a suspicious person from it.
The old lady patted Shen Qingwan's hand lightly: "Silly girl, it's just a pillow, if you burn it, you will burn it, and then order someone to do it, you don't have to blame yourself so much, Ruxia!" "Yes, old lady." Ruxia is the eldest maid of Anshun Hall, and when she heard the old lady's call, she walked over quickly: "The slave maid immediately ordered someone to make pillows, Taijun, do you still do this style?" ”
The old lady smiled lovingly: "Okay, I still do this style, and I like this style the most......
Shen Qingwan smiled: "Grandmother, your pillow has been pillow for most of your life, and you should also change to a new style to pillow, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, grandmother, aunt have changed their pillows, today I accidentally burned your pillow, just to help you make a new one, will make up for the ......"
"It's okay, I sleep on the same pillow every day, my old bones are also a little tired, Ruxia, you go and get some materials, let the little lady make a pillow for me." In front of everyone, no matter how bold that person is, he will not dare to poison him.
Ruxia's movements were very fast, less than half a cup of tea took place, everything was ready, cut, sewn, filled, Shen Qingwan's movements were like flowing water, all in one go.
Looking at the brand-new pillow, the old lady praised again and again: "Not bad, not bad, really ingenious......"
"Grandmother has won the award, as long as you like it......" Shen Qingwan smiled slightly, and suddenly noticed two cold eyes shooting towards her.
I finally couldn't help it. A cold smile rose lightly at the corner of her mouth, Shen Qingwan suddenly turned to look, but saw the maids gathering around the table to clean up their things, and no one looked at her at all: the spy is indeed very smart, deeply hidden, and quick to react, but it is not so easy to poison the ghost unknowingly......
It's cold, the old lady doesn't like to go out, and sits in the inner room every day to talk about embroidery, lyrics and poetry, and when everyone chats, Shen Qingwan will always quietly leave a message to the maids in the inner room, and they must be in a hurry after delaying for so long without poisoning, but they can't see it at all on the surface, they are really masters of disguise...... In the blink of an eye, Shen Qingwan has lived in the Xiangfu for more than half a month, although the future of the Xiangfu urges her to go back, but she also knows that she must finish the matter and return to the Xiangfu, because she came to visit the Xiangfu because of the old lady's illness, and now that the old Taijun has recovered as before, she is still living in the Xiangfu, which will definitely cause gossip.
The wind stopped, the sky was clear, the sun was rare and bright, Shen Qing got up early in the evening, and went to Anshun Hall to ask for peace without even eating, wanting the old lady to take advantage of the good weather to come out for a walk, who would have thought, no matter what the old lady said, she refused to leave the room on the grounds that it was cold outside and not as warm as the house, and in desperation, Shen Qingwan had to chat with her in the house.
In the afternoon, Shen Qingwan thought for a while and euphemistically told the old lady that he wanted to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the old lady sighed softly and agreed, but repeatedly told Shen Qingwan that she wanted to come back to the General's Mansion to visit her when she was free. When Shen Qing returned to the General's Mansion in the evening, he naturally had to pack up his things, bid farewell to the old lady early, and went out of Anshun Hall, Shen Qing took Xun Han's hand back to the Bauhinia Pavilion in the evening.
Shen Qingwan walked silently all the way, Xun Han and Mu Tao didn't speak, plus the woman's footsteps were light, if she hadn't seen the three of them on the road, she would never have thought that there were still people walking around in the yard.
Suddenly, a familiar figure hurriedly walked by around the corner in front of him, and Shen Qingwan stopped: "That person just now was the third uncle?" ”
"Miss Hui, the slave does look like the third uncle!"
The direction Gu Yunfu went to just now was the back door, looking at his sneaky appearance, could it be that there was something to do? His eyes flashed slightly, and Shen Qingwan followed quickly with Xun Han and Mu Tao, and the three of them kept a distance not close to Gu Yunfu, neither being discovered by him nor being embarrassed.
After a while, Gu Yunfu came to the back door, looked around and saw that there was no one, and walked out quickly, Shen Qingwan was thinking about Xunhan, Mu Tao followed, and a soft voice came from behind him: "Why did the little lady come here?" ”
Shen Qingwan looked back with a smile: "I'm going back to the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow, seeing that the chrysanthemums here have not been defeated, I'm going to pick some and go back to make chrysanthemum cakes for my grandmother, how could Sister Ruyan come here?" ”
"The old lady is afraid of the cold, I'll come to the firewood room to get some charcoal." Ruyan raised the box in her hand: "Little Miss, the old lady is still waiting for the fire there, and the slave will leave first!" ”
"I won't send it." Shen Qingwan smiled faintly, sent Ruyan away, and was about to go to the back door, but saw that Gu Yunfu had already come in, lest others find out that he had been here, and walked quickly to the front yard.
Shen Qingwan thought slightly, ran to the back door quickly, and looked forward, a luxurious carriage had already driven away, and on the carriage, the familiar logo flickered in the wind......
After dinner, Shen Qingwan cleaned up in the room, and didn't come to ask the old lady to say goodbye, the old lady always felt empty in her heart, hesitated for a moment, and was ruthless: "Ruyan, bring a cloak, how about I want the little lady to clean up." ”
Ruyan was slightly stunned: "Old lady, it's late, and it's cold outside......" When the sun is good during the day, how can the little lady persuade the old lady not to go out, why did she suddenly want to go out at night.
"I'm leaving early tomorrow morning, so I'll have to see if she's not." The old lady got out of bed: "That girl is still young, and it's cold again, I'm afraid she doesn't know how to care about herself......"
The old lady went out, although she only walked from Anshun Hall to Bauhinia Pavilion, the maids still didn't dare to slack off, helped her sort out her clothes as quickly as possible, and repeatedly confirmed that she wouldn't catch a cold when she went out, so she hugged her out of the door.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I met Gu Ci who came to ask for peace: "Qingxiang, I will return to the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow, your mother in the ward, the novelties in our General's Mansion, let her bring a few back to play with ......"
Gu Ci smiled softly: "Grandmother, don't worry, these things, mother has already arranged, are you going to see Wan'er, I haven't seen her for a day, come with you, it's dark, be careful ...... your step"
Gu Ci took the old lady's arm from the maid's hand, helped her, and walked cautiously towards the Bauhinia Pavilion, followed by several maids, the two of them talked and laughed, and soon disappeared.
