Chapter 112: The Dead Soldier Takes His Death
When Ji Yanning woke up, it was already the afternoon of the second day, and the fever had subsided, but her brain was a little dizzy, Pearl served her to drink the medicine, used some light meals, and fell asleep again.
But the people in the courtyard finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Mu and An came to visit, and saw that she was still asleep, her face looked haggard, but her heart was distressed.
An asked how Ji Yanning suddenly got sick, after all, when he was in the county lord's mansion, Ji Yanning didn't seem to have seen any signs, but he said that he was a little tired, and he fell ill soon after returning to the mansion, and he looked so serious.
Ziyu replied: "The doctor said that the body of the eldest lady has not yet adapted to the winter climate of Chang'an, so it is common for the young lady to be hit by the wind and cold, but the young lady did not notice it, and went to the county lord's mansion and blew cold wind, so she fainted with a fever." ”
She lowered her head and said carefully, but she looked very self-reproachful.
Ji Yanning has never liked to show her weaknesses, as Miss's personal maid, without Miss's permission, she naturally can't talk about it like others.
An Shi knew that the maids in Ji Yanning's courtyard were very dedicated on weekdays, not to mention that they couldn't complain about this matter, so he said: "That's it, you should be careful to serve Yan Ning, if you need anything, just say it." ”
Ziyu replied respectfully: "Yes." ”
An said: "Yan Ning has not yet adapted to the severe cold of Chang'an, and the same is true for Xiang Bilang'er, don't let him always come to Yan Ning, if he is also infected with the wind cold, it will be a troublesome matter." ”
Ziyu knew that what An said was reasonable, after all, the little boy was still young, so he naturally had to be careful.
It's just that she didn't tell An that the little boy kept watch in the yard for a night yesterday, and at dawn, if she didn't know that the eldest lady had a fever, she was afraid that she wouldn't want to go to the school.
Ahn instructed a few other things, and then withdrew from the courtyard.
The people in the second and third rooms knew that Ji Yanning was sick, so they sent someone over to send some supplements.
Since the last lesson, although he may still dislike Ji Yanning in his heart, he still has to talk about the past in his face.
After another day, Ji Yanning recovered a little bit of his spirit and finally got off the ground.
Ji Lang accompanied Ji Yanning after school, and returned to his yard after dinner.
Pearl walked into Ji Yanning's room with the medicine, and saw Ji Yanning standing at the door and looking up at the sky that had completely darkened, and could vaguely see a few shining stars.
"Miss, it's time to drink the medicine. ”
Pearl called softly, then placed the medicine jar on the table, and then poured the medicine from the medicine jar out of the bowl with a hand towel.
Ji Yanning came back to his senses, sat back at the table, frowned, and although reluctantly, he still closed his eyes and poured the medicine down.
The bitterness in her mouth made her brain clear up instantly, and her whole face was eager to wrinkle together, pushing the medicine bowl aside.
Pearl and Ying'er couldn't help but laugh when they looked at the eldest lady like this.
The eldest lady likes to fiddle with medicinal herbs on weekdays, but if she is allowed to drink medicine, it is like asking her to die for half her life, and she doesn't like the bitter taste the most.
Ying'er hurriedly handed over the candied fruit.
There was finally sweetness in my mouth, even if I was relieved.
"By the way, what's going on in the past two days?" Ji Yanning fell asleep for two days, but he was afraid that he would miss something, and said, "Call Ji Jiu over." ”
Pearl packed up the medicine jar, said yes, and withdrew.
Ying'er said: "Baochangji will be able to send Miss Yuan's hairpin over tomorrow, and the clothes will be able to be driven out in two days." ”
Ji Yanning nodded, these were all expected by her, don't worry.
Ji Jiu walked in from outside, bowed and said, "Miss." ”
Ji Yanning said: "Have you done everything you were asked to do before?"
Ji Jiu is the escort she brought from Jiangzhou, he is reliable, he is the son of the family, his father has always followed Ji Tingsheng, but he also died in the mountain bandit melee, he took over the security management of the Ji family instead of his father, Ji Yanning naturally trusted him very much.
"Regarding the rice shop, I have asked people to go to a lot of rice shops to mention the price increase, and the price of rice in Chang'an has risen a lot in the past few days. Ji Jiu said.
Ji Yanning said: "Be careful, don't let the people in the household department find out first." ”
Ji Jiu nodded: "Don't worry, eldest lady, the people I sent are all disguised." ”
"What happened to Murong Yixue's adoptive mother's family?" Ji Yanning asked again.
Ji Jiu said: "This matter was taken by Marquis Xiao, he said that everything was interrogated, and people are now locked up in the Dingbei Hou Mansion and can't make a mistake, when Mrs. Murong had twins, she was taken away by the midwife, and she has been kept by her side, named Pheasant Niang." Later, Pheasant Niang replaced Murong Yixue, and she always knew about it, and even asked Pheasant Niang to send money to their family from time to time. ”
"Pheasant Niang?" Ji Yanning said lightly, she said, "She has a good temper, and she has endured it for so many years without solving this family." ”
Ji Jiu said: "It seems that there is a reason, but the subordinates don't know much, Marquis Xiao found a lot of news, and he wrote it all on that letter." ”
Ji Yanning frowned slightly: "What letter?"
Ying'er, who was on the side, suddenly remembered, and she said: "The day before yesterday, Brother Ji brought it over, and it was said that it was very important, but at that time, the young lady was sick, and the slave maid was put on the table first. ”
She walked briskly to her desk, rummaged through it for a while, and finally pulled out the day's letter.
Ji Yanning took the letter from Ying'er's hand, opened the envelope directly, and began to read it carefully.
The more he looked down, the darker Ji Yanning's face became.
Murong Yixue actually raised dead soldiers in the Zhuangzi outside the city......
She is now the concubine of Murong Mansion, and Murong Mansion will naturally have guards to protect her safety, if there is any danger, naturally there is no need for her people, if it is to deal with the adoptive mother's family, it will be done for so many years.
Therefore, these dead soldiers are specially used to deal with Yuan Jiaojiao!
She was worried that Yuan Jiaojiao would appear in front of her again one day sooner or later, so raising the dead was nothing more than to completely eradicate Yuan Jiaojiao.
Only the dead will not tell the story of the past.
Ji Yanning stood up suddenly, she looked at Ji Jiu: "You go to the Yuan Mansion and tell Jiaojiao and Mrs. Yuan not to expose it before the ceremony, especially not to let Murong Yixue know her identity." ”
She had long guessed that this Murong Yixue was not simple, and it was impossible for her to be unprepared for so many years.
Naturally, you can't make an easy move before you find out her details.
Ji Jiu was slightly stunned, and then said: "Zisu sent a message the day before yesterday, saying that Murong Yixue was going to the Yuan Mansion to see Miss Yuan and the old lady, and Miss Yuan had already answered......"
Ji Yanning frowned: "When?"
Ji Jiu replied truthfully: "I should have seen it yesterday." ”
Ji Yanning had just subsided her fever yesterday, and her consciousness was not yet clear, so naturally she couldn't talk about this.
Ji Yanning was stunned, if she had seen it yesterday, Murong Yixue would definitely make a decisive move, and would not leave any room for Yuan Jiaojiao, and her dead soldier was raised on the Zhuangzi outside the city, and it would take time to step on it when she entered the city, so the fastest and best time was tonight!
"Yuan Wu!" Ji Yanning suddenly called.
Yuan Wu fell from the beam of the compartment: "What does the young lady command?"
Ji Yanning said: "You have good skills, quickly go to Dingbei Hou Mansion to transfer a good guard to the Weiyuan General's Mansion to protect Yuan Jiaojiao and the old lady." ”
"Yes. Yuan Wu answered, then walked out and disappeared into the night.
Ji Yanning turned around and walked back to the inner room, and said, "Ying'er help me change clothes, Ji Jiu will go out to prepare the horses, and you will pick two more people to go to the Yuan Mansion with me." ”
Ying'er and Ji Jiu were stunned, and looked at Ji Yanning with some embarrassment, now that the night is late, Miss's illness is just right, and her body is still weak, how can she go out in the cold wind.
"Hurry up!" Ji Yanning's face sank, not satisfied with their reaction.
Ying'er and Ji Jiu sighed lightly, and still did what Ji Yanning had arranged.
Ji Yanning's illness had just recovered, and her body was still a little weak, but there was no way, she didn't expect Yuan Jiaojiao to have met Murong Yixue without her knowledge.
Murong Yixue has been deceived by her adoptive mother for many years, thinking that she is a child abandoned by Murong Mansion, and she will naturally harbor ill will have ill will towards Yuan Jiaojiao, and when she suddenly sees Yuan Jiaojiao, she will definitely be stimulated, and nine times out of ten she will also quickly send dead soldiers to deal with the people of Yuan Mansion.
She didn't guess wrong, but when she guessed, Yuanfu was already targeted by a team of dead soldiers.
The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the weather is very cold, and most of the people in the Yuan Mansion have rested early, because there are only two masters, and they are all very easy to serve, and there are not many chores to do in the mansion.
Yuan Jiaojiao was about to lie down when she heard footsteps on the roof.
She has always been extremely sensitive, and she could tell at once that there were a lot of people on the roof, and her martial arts were not low.
Seeing that Zi Su blew out the candles in the house, Yuan Jiaojiao immediately turned over and picked up the clothes on the clothes on the clothes stick, quickly walked in front of Zi Su, and covered her mouth.
"Don't make a sound, there's a killer. Yuan Jiaojiao whispered in her ear.
Shiso's eyes widened, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to come out.
"You go out as usual, and immediately go to your grandmother and ask her to hide. Yuan Jiaojiao whispered, "Did you hear it!"
Shiso nodded.
Yuan Jiaojiao let go of her and gently pushed her out.
Although Zi Su was a little trembling, but remembering Yuan Jiaojiao's words, she pushed open the door and walked out, the cold wind blew directly on her face, freezing her shivering, and then walked out of the courtyard.
The people on the roof saw Shiso come out, and the leader waved his hand and motioned to the people next to him to go down and solve the maid.
Shisu was walking out of the courtyard, and suddenly hurried to the back There seemed to be a voice, she looked back, and saw a man in black holding a sword and slashing down at her!
She was so frightened that she couldn't move in place, seeing that the sword was about to fall on her neck, suddenly her waist tightened, and she was pulled back a dozen steps back.
Yuan Jiaojiao pushed her out of the courtyard, looked at the black-clothed man in the courtyard, and scolded angrily: "What kind of person! dare to trespass on the General's Mansion!"
