Chapter 32: Assassination
After a few days, there was no snow in Kyoto, but the weather was still cold. The old lady ordered everyone not to come to Muxiangyuan to say goodbye, and Wange stayed in Fanghua Pavilion and never went out.
Qinglan took the clothes and jewelry sent by Hongsu, "Miss, this is what the eldest lady prepared for you to attend the palace banquet." ”
Wan Ge followed Qinglan's words, and the eldest aunt sent a Shu embroidered dark flower silk skirt, a pair of red gold beaded pendants and a white jade lotus hairpin.
The slave had already thanked Miss Hongsu. The girl told the slave that the eldest lady said that you don't have to be nervous, just as usual. ”
"The eldest aunt has a heart, put it away."
"Yes."
Qinglan cleaned up and said, "Second Miss quietly lost her temper this morning. ”
"Because of what?"
"The old lady asked the second lady to recuperate well, and there is no need to participate in the palace banquet."
"The second sister is bent on being in the limelight, no wonder she is so angry."
The second lady later received another letter, and her face was full of joy after reading it. The letter turned out to be sent to Qingshui Pavilion by the third prince, and the matter was kept secret and concealed from Mama Qiu. ”
"It seems that the letter of the third prince appeased the second sister. Tell Steward Wang that the second sister wants to reply. Let him help make the letter smoothly delivered to the Three Princes' Mansion. ”

Chunyu said excitedly: "Auntie, Mama Xu is back." ”
Aunt Xie was very pleasantly surprised when she heard this, "Let Grandma take a break and come to see me quickly." ”
The spring rain should fall.
A quarter of an hour later, a woman in her forties approached Aunt Xie.
"Auntie, the old slave is back."
"Mama has worked hard, is the family okay?"
"Everything is fine, Aunt Lao is worried."
"Mama, have you gained anything this time?"
Mama Xu took out a white medicine bottle from her sleeve and explained: "This medicine is called rouge drunk, and it grows in Nanling. When it comes to water, it is soluble, colorless and tasteless.
Poisoned people will be poisoned after 10 days, and the symptoms will be no different from wind and cold. At first, the symptoms will subside after 7 days, but the symptoms will subside. The day it subsides, it means that the poison has penetrated deep into the internal organs and has no cure. ”
In other words, the poison can be cured seven days after the onset of the poison. After seven days, the medicine stone was incurable, until he died. ”
"Yes, the average doctor can't see it, and only thinks that the redness of the face is caused by fever, which is also the origin of rouge drunkenness.
After the first seven days, the condition will gradually improve. It will repeat for three months to half a year, and eventually die quietly. ”
"Very good, isn't Ji Yan sick with affection? This time she was sick to the end. ”
"Auntie, the people around the third lady are not easy to buy."
"Mama, buying is not the best policy."
"That aunt is going to ......"
"Since this medicine dissolves in water, I plan to apply this medicine to Ji Yan's bath bucket."
"The third lady doesn't like people to be close, and this medicine is effective only when you brew two cups of tea a day, which is a good way.
Juyuan is strict, how do we drop the medicine on the bath bucket? ”
"I knew I had to find a way to lure her out."
"Fourth Miss?"
"That's right, that's what I thought, there's no hurry in this matter."
*
"Miss, the second lady really asked Bizhu to send a letter out, Steward Wang sent someone to keep an eye on it, Bizhu quietly gave it to a small servant, and that person entered the back door of the Third Prince's Mansion."
"Okay, I see, let them cultivate their feelings.
If there is any movement of the second lady, tell me immediately. ”
"Yes. Miss, do you need to let Mama Qiu know about this? ”
"No, let's just wait and see."
