Chapter 9: Murder and Burning
Chapter 9: Murder and Burning
"Princess Shizi, let's see if there are any mistakes or omissions." Mama Ji said, opened the medicine bag, and let Su Yinyue check it by eye.
When Su Yinyue saw it, her face changed: "Why is there a lack of purple east grass?" Is the hospital giving less? ”
Mama Ji thought for a while and denied it: "No, when the doctor was dispensing medicine, he deliberately showed the old slave Zidongcao, saying that only his family medical hall in the capital has such a piece, and it will be taken out for the sake of the prince." ”
I flipped through it, and there was a small hole in the medicine bag, which was complete, as if it had been cut by a blade.
It was dark outside, and Mama Ji was in a hurry, so she didn't notice it.
"And who else has taken over the medicine bag?" Su Yinyue asked again.
"It's Mama Li!" Mama Ji's eyes were angry, "When I came back, I was bumped by her, and the medicine bag fell to the ground, and she helped pick it up!" She must have taken the purple east grass! ”
While speaking, Mama Ji had already stood up: "Even if the old slave fights for this old life, he will get the medicine back!" ”
"Mama, slow down!" Su Yinyue twisted her eyebrows and said, "Mama Li is using a trick, and they will definitely not return it." And if they go to make trouble like this, they will know that the prince is seriously ill and in a coma, and he is often absent from the palace, and if they come hard, we weak women will not be able to protect the son. ”
Mama Ji was annoyed and blamed herself, she just couldn't do things well, and she almost put her master in danger!
"Does the princess have an idea?" Mama Ji's thoughts were confused, so she could only rely on Su Yinyue to come up with ideas.
Su Yinyue glanced at Chu Jifeng on the bed and thought of a way.
The poisonous blood in Chu Jifeng's heart veins could not be forced out, so he could only take the decoction medicine within an hour to protect his heart.
If there are other herbs, it's just an extremely rare purple east grass!
No, she has to protect him this time!
Su Yinyue had a flash of inspiration and suddenly asked, "Do you know how Xu Qingyuan's body was disposed of?" ”
Mama Ji was so anxious that she didn't know why Su Yinyue wanted to ask about this stubble, so she could only reply casually: "The Xu family is not rooted in the capital, so naturally they want to send Xu Qingyuan back to his hometown for burial." I heard that the princess had already asked someone to buy a coffin, and planned to transport Xu Qingyuan's body back tomorrow. ”
Su Yinyue breathed a sigh of relief: "That's still too late." ”
"What are the plans of the princess?" Mama Ji looked puzzled.
The corners of Su Yinyue's mouth hooked: "More ruthless than them, let the princess personally send the medicine back." ”
Earlier, Princess Ling learned that Mama Ji was out in a hurry, and she felt strange, so she sent Mama Li to find out.
Half an hour later, Mama Li finally came back.
She took out a handkerchief from her sleeve pocket and opened it, and there was a piece of purple grass in it, and said, "Mama Ji went out to buy medicinal herbs, and the old slave Ji Shun came here." ”
Chu Jingxian's cheeks were red and swollen, and when she heard this, she was excited, and subconsciously said; "Mama Ji is from Izumo Pavilion, how dare you provoke her, are you crazy?!"
If she gets beaten in the face again, she will become a pig's head!
"After the third lady heard what the old slave said, Mama Ji was so anxious to go out to buy medicine at night, it must be that the prince is seriously ill again." Mama Li then said, "The old slave took the medicinal herbs and asked Dr. Liang, and he said that this is Zidong grass, and one piece has the effect of reviving the dead, and also said that since the prince has used this herb, he should only be hanging for the last breath, so the third lady does not have to worry about the prince coming over." ”
Chu Jingxian instantly came to her senses when she heard this: "Is he really going to die?!" Will Mama Ji buy a second piece of purple east grass? ”
Mama Li said: "Third Miss, don't worry, Dr. Liang said that there is no second piece in Beijing." The old slave is lucky, and he got this rare medicinal herb in his hands at once, and even God helped the princess. ”
She risked offending Chu Jifeng to do this, just because she wanted Princess Ling to become the real housewife of the palace, then she would also follow the soaring prosperity and benefit her descendants.
"Great!" Princess Ling smiled, the qi she had received in the past two days had completely dissipated at this moment, "Chang Wuying is not in the mansion, if Mama Ji comes to ask for medicinal materials, we will deny it, and she can't do anything about us." Mama Li, you have made a great contribution this time! ”
She detained Zidongcao, then Chu Jifeng should soon return to the west, and she still wanted to go to Izumo Pavilion to see how Chu Jifeng lost his breath.
It's just that with Xu Qingyuan's experience, Princess Ling didn't dare to go to Izumo Pavilion at will, lest she die like Xu Qingyuan.
If Chu Jifeng is fine, then she will push Mama Li out to block it, and she won't lose anything.
Of course, Mama Li didn't know that her master had such a vicious mind, and she just wanted a good day to come soon.
Not long after, a maid outside shouted in panic: "Princess! Oh no! Oh no! ”
The three of them looked at each other, excited.
Could it be that Chu Jifeng has returned to the west?!
Princess Ling couldn't hide her joy, opened the door and went out: "What are you yelling about?" Did something happen to the prince? ”
"It's not the prince of the world, it's the young master who has an accident!"
Princess Ling didn't react, her nephews were all dead, what else could happen.
Mama Li followed out and saw the direction of Qingliang Courtyard blazing into the sky, lighting up half of the sky.
"Princess, Qingliangyuan is on fire!" Mama Li shouted.
Xu Qingyuan just entered the coffin today, and his body was temporarily placed in Qingliang Courtyard, and he will leave tomorrow to return to his hometown in Huainan.
The fire is so big that I'm afraid that even the coffins will be burned to charcoals.
"What?!" Princess Ling stumbled and almost fell, "Hurry up and put out the fire!" ”
Her nephew died a miserable death, and he couldn't even burn his body to the ground.
Mama Li hurriedly ordered someone to beat the gong to put out the fire so that the fire would not spread.
Chu Jingxian glared at the maid and said angrily, "Didn't you let you keep vigil?" Why did it catch fire at the end of the day?! ”
The maid's body shrunk, how dare she stay in the coffin overnight, so she was lazy just now.
When she saw the fire, she immediately rushed back, only to see a red figure leaving from the Qingliang Courtyard.
In the palace, only Chu Jifeng likes to wear red clothes.
"It seems to be...... It was the son of the world who went to set the fire. The maid reported.
When Princess Ling and the others heard this, they almost held their breath and were very frightened.
Chu Jifeng ran to set the fire, doesn't that mean that he is not seriously ill at all!
Thinking that he knew that Mama Li had taken away the medicinal materials, so he killed people and burned corpses, and such a vicious move was also made by Chu Jifeng!
Chu Jingxian also thought of this, her legs trembled in fright, and she grabbed Princess Ling's hand and asked, "Mother, how is this good?" The eldest brother burned his cousin's body, and he will definitely set us on fire later! ”
Princess Ling didn't care about Xu Qingyuan's body at this time, but thought about how she should get out.
After all, they are all like frightened birds, for fear that Chu Jifeng will come to seek revenge.
"Princess, either invite the prince over......" Mama Li was also afraid, and she couldn't speak.
Princess Ling's face was pale, King Ling only valued her own rights, where would she protect her stepfamily.
"Someone!" Princess Ling suddenly shouted and pointed at Mama Li, "This thief dares to steal the medicinal materials of the prince and drag it down to death!" ”
