Chapter 56: Follow-up to the drug
Soon, the carriage was ready, and with it came a chamberlain, who was the emperor's confidant.
He respectfully lowered his hands and stood outside the door of the study and asked, "Your Majesty heard that His Royal Highness the Third Prince is unwell, so he specially sent our family to see His Highness." ”
Huo Lingxiao pretended to cough twice, and said in the house: "Father-in-law Li, I can't see the wind in my body now, and I neglect my father-in-law, please tell my father, I'm fine, just go back to the house and rest for a day or two." ”
Seeing this, Gonggong Li couldn't help it, so he had to retire and leave.
Seeing Gonggong Li and his party leaving, Huo Lingxiao turned around and picked up Wei Xiyue, and strode into the prepared carriage.
Back in the mansion, the doctor had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Huo Lingxiao carrying Wei Xiyue into the house, he hurriedly stepped forward and prepared to take Wei Xiyue in Huo Lingxiao's arms.
Huo Lingxiao saw that the doctor wanted to take Wei Xiyue away from his arms, so he subconsciously took a step back and blocked the doctor's arm stretched out to Wei Xiyue.
The doctor was stunned, raised his eyes and looked at Huo Lingxiao, Huo Lingxiao reacted to what he had just said, his face couldn't help but be a little confused, he put Wei Xiyue on the bed gently, and then gave the space to the doctor.
As soon as the doctor took Wei Xiyue's pulse, he had a grasp of the properties of the medicine she was taking, turned around and came to the bookcase, dipped his pen in ink, and began to write the prescription.
After writing and stopping the pen, the doctor handed the prescription to Huo Lingxiao, who was waiting on the side, and then gave it away, made a gesture, and turned to leave.
Huo Lingxiao browsed through the prescription and saw that there was nothing that had conflicting medicinal properties, so he called his subordinates, gave the prescription to his subordinates, and instructed his subordinates to boil the medicine themselves.
It is said that the concubine saw the chaotic appearance in the side hall, saw the four princes lying to the ground, and there were faint blood stains in her hair, and her distress for the four princes and her anger towards Wei Xiyue were intertwined for a while.
Her plain white hands were clenched, and one of her shallot-like nails was broken, Wei Xiyue had already fled, and there was nowhere to vent the anger in her heart, so she pointed the finger at the maid who arranged the side hall.
"Hit! Hit Hongu hard! After saying that, Huo Zeyu was settled, and turned around and walked towards the bedroom.
"This plan of this palace failed, Wei Xiyue's little slut actually ran away, and my son also hurt his face, this palace must not be able to spare Wei Xiyue!"
When Concubine Lin's personal palace maid heard this, she comforted Concubine Lin and said: "Don't be angry, the top priority is how to seal Wei Xiyue's mouth, and the rest is secondary." ”
Concubine Lin was depressed, and felt that what the palace maid said did make some sense, a trace of gloom flashed in her eyes, knowing that Wei Xiyue attached the most importance to her mother and younger brother who were not on the stage, and planned to use the two of them as a threat to force Wei Xiyue to comply.
Wei Xiyue's medicinal effect relapsed, and she was seen rolling on the bed patiently, her slender legs overlapped, rubbing against each other incessantly. It's just that the medicine hasn't been boiled yet, Huo Lingxiao can't, so he has to order someone to send a bucket of cold water, soak Wei Xiyue in it, and then turn around and leave to avoid suspicion.
Just like cold water, it seemed to cool down Wei Xiyue's hot body, and her mind gradually became clearer, realizing her current situation, she was greatly ashamed, and put her face into the water, hating to never come out again.
After a short time, the medicine was boiled, and the maid took the medicine, hesitated outside the closed wooden door, and said tentatively: "Miss, the medicine is boiled, and the slave maid will send it to you?" ”
When Wei Xiyue heard this, she asked the maid to come in with medicine, and prepared a dress for herself by the way.
Under the treatment of the imperial doctor, Huo Lingyu also came to his senses.
"Mother? What's going on? Huo Lingyu woke up slowly, and saw that he was lying in the palace of the concubine, and the concubine was also sitting on the side of his bed, not knowing what he was thinking, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
Seeing this, Concubine Lin was speechless, sighed, and looked at Huo Lingyu quietly for a moment.
Huo Lingyu's mind gradually cleared, and he was greatly surprised when he recalled what he had done afterwards.
"Mother, you drugged me! You want me to ...... with Wei Xiyue" Huo Lingyu thought that he had almost betrayed Wei Feiyu, and couldn't help but be angry, and asked Concubine Lin.
Concubine Lin wanted to explain to Huo Lingyu, but seeing that Huo Lingyu had such an attitude, she didn't have her own mother in her heart at all, she only thought about Wei Feiyu, and she didn't understand herself at all that it was all for his good, which was very chilling.
Huo Lingyu saw that Concubine Lin was silent, and his heart was that Concubine Lin's heart was weak, and her words were even more aggressive, Concubine Lin was already upset, and seeing Huo Lingyu pressing tightly, she was so angry that she waved her hand and slapped Huo Lingyu, and ordered her to go back to the house to think about her mistakes and not to go out of the house for half a step.
Concubine Lin ordered someone to send Huo Lingyu back to the mansion, and at the same time sent a group of people to the Wei Mansion, and wanted to kidnap the Liu family and Wei Qingtan in the name of visiting the Liu family.
Huo Lingxiao was pacing repeatedly in the study, remembering Wei Xiyue's situation in his heart, and the knock on the door of his subordinates interrupted Huo Lingxiao's thoughts.
"Your Royal Highness, Concubine Lin's mother has sent someone out of the palace, and her subordinates look at it as if they are going to the Wei Mansion."
When Huo Lingxiao heard this, he was worried that Concubine Lin had any intentions for Wei Xiyue's mother and younger brother, so he ordered his subordinates to retreat and turn around and walk quickly to Wei Xiyue's room.
He raised his hand and knocked on the door, and asked softly, "Miss Wei, it's me, can I go in?" ”
Wei Xiyue changed her clothes and was sitting on the edge of the bed reflecting on what she had done today, warning herself not to underestimate the enemy in the future, and not to do whatever she wanted because of an extra layer of memories of her past life.
Hearing Huo Lingxiao's voice, Wei Xiyue couldn't help but think that there was such a big mess in front of him today, and she didn't know how to face Huo Lingxiao for a while.
She straightened her clothes, pressed her sideburns, picked up her mood, and got up to open the door for Huo Lingxiao.
Huo Lingxiao entered the door and saw that Wei Xiyue was already sober, and from the face, his psychological condition seemed to be good, and he was relieved, so he informed Wei Xiyue of the news that Concubine Lin had sent someone to Wei Mansion.
Wei Xiyue was shocked when she heard this, and immediately put aside her little daughter's thoughts just now, and her brain was running rapidly, thinking about what Concubine Lin's intentions were.
Huo Lingxiao saw that Wei Xiyue was deep in thought, so he didn't bother much, just waited quietly on the side.
After a while, Wei Xiyue said: "In the palace today, Concubine Lin drugged me, intending to let the fourth prince get involved in me, and I never wanted to be broken by me, but now I go to the Wei Mansion, I am afraid that I will attack my mother and younger brother." ”
Huo Lingxiao saw that Wei Xiyue was in line with what he thought in his heart, and he was appreciative, and asked: "Since Concubine Lin made this move, she must have completely torn her face with you, how do you want to fight back?" ”
Wei Xiyue didn't say much, but said lightly: "Since Concubine Lin forced me to come here, I will definitely not let her go." After that, he clasped his fists and saluted, and planned to leave.
Seeing that Wei Xiyue didn't want to say more, Huo Lingxiao didn't force her more, he raised his hand to stop Wei Xiyue and wanted to send her home.
Wei Xiyue thought that she was alone, and it was indeed inconvenient to rush back to the mansion, so she agreed to what Huo Lingxiao said.
On the way home, Wei Xiyue's eyebrows tightened, her expression was grim, and she didn't speak, quietly thinking about countermeasures. Huo Lingxiao didn't bother, he just held a book in his hand, and he flipped through it without a match.
Soon, the carriage arrived at the Wei Mansion, Wei Xiyue came back to her senses and thanked Huo Lingxiao: "Thank you for what the Third Highness did today, Xiyue has nothing to repay, and then let the Third Highness send it." ”
Huo Lingxiao saw that Wei Xiyue was so serious, and said with a straight face: "Miss Wei doesn't have to be like this, you and I are already familiar with each other, and saving Miss Wei is what I should do." ”
Hearing this, Wei Xiyue had a better impression of Huo Lingxiao, but the matter was urgent, so it was inconvenient to say more, she clasped her fists and saluted, tiptoeing, and disappeared between a few ups and downs.
Huo Lingxiao looked at Wei Xiyue's flying clothes, and felt as if his heart was crossed by the clothes, which was soft and astringent, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart. At that time, he didn't know that the emotion was called joy.
Before Wei Xiyue landed in the small courtyard, she hurriedly pushed open the door and strode in.
As soon as I entered the house, I found that a familiar palace maid was talking happily with the Liu family, and the Liu family was holding Wei Qingtan in her arms, I don't know what they were talking about, and the Liu family seemed to be embarrassed.
Seeing this, Wei Xiyue stepped forward and interrupted the conversation.
The palace maid saw that Wei Xiyue had returned to the Wei Mansion, seeing that her face was pale, and there was a cold atmosphere lingering around her, thinking of her various rumors on the battlefield, she couldn't help but shudder, but when she thought of the concubine's entrustment before leaving the palace, she still stepped forward with courage, forced out a smiling face, and saluted Wei Xiyue.
"I've seen Miss Wei, Miss Wei has just returned home?"
As expected, Concubine Lin really sent someone to seal her mouth. Listening to the meaning of the maid's words, Concubine Lin seemed to want to completely erase this matter, and it was good to think about it, Wei Xiyue sneered in her heart.
She sneered and said, "Concubine Lin's mother is in the palace in every possible way, I have to stay for a while, so I will return to the mansion." ”
When the maid saw Wei Xiyue mention Concubine Lin, she knew that Wei Xiyue would not let go of this matter easily, she had no choice but to show her last hole card.
She turned sideways, leaked out the Liu family and Wei Qingtan behind her, approached Wei Xiyue, and whispered: "Concubine Lin heard that the younger brother of Miss Wei's family is smart and friendly, lively and amiable, and wants to bring Young Master Wei into the palace and accompany Concubine Lin to relieve her boredom, this is a great honor, please Miss Wei think carefully." ”
When Wei Xiyue heard this, her eyes widened angrily, and she drank: "You dare!" ”
Seeing that Wei Xiyue was so unkind to the palace maid next to Concubine Lin, the Liu family hurriedly stopped Wei Xiyue and said, "Xiyue, don't be so rude!" ”
Wei Xiyue didn't say anything to defend, but just motioned for the Liu family to take Wei Qingtan to avoid entering the inner room, and she stayed here to confront this personal palace maid.
Relying on the prestige of Concubine Lin, she has been doing evil in the palace for many years, and the palace maid saw that Wei Xiyue was so arrogant, and her heart was on fire: "Miss Wei, Concubine Lin's mother can take a fancy to Brother Ling, this is a supreme blessing, please don't get an inch." ”
Wei Xiyue saw that this palace maid was so upside down black and white, and her anger was even worse, she sneered and said: "My family Qingtan has been knowledgeable and courteous since he was a child, and he is a righteous person, you brought him into the palace, and I am afraid that Qingtan will not do his job." ”
When the palace maid saw that Wei Xiyue was so sarcastic about Concubine Lin, she straightened out, "You... You! You wait for me, Concubine Linniang looks at you, but you are just an ant, crushing you to death is just a wave of your hand. ”
Seeing that the palace maid was so angry that she was incoherent, Wei Xiyue was a little relaxed, she didn't care, and said: "You go and report to Concubine Lin, guess if I will explain it to the Queen Mother." ”
When the palace maid saw Wei Xiyue move out of the "Big Buddha" of the Queen Mother, she had no choice but to leave because she was angry.
