The winter in Beijing comes quickly, and the south is unstable in the second half of the year. The people of Beijing Gate can also perceive the solemn atmosphere in the city, even if they sit in the teahouse and chat, they don't dare to talk like before.

In addition to the officials who went south to leave the city one after another, there was another incident in the Beijing Gate recently, which caused ordinary people to get together and chat again. They don't understand big political affairs, and few of them can understand them. But some things in the inner mansion of these families in the Beijing Gate can particularly arouse their interest.

"Have you heard, the eldest prince of the Pingning Marquis Mansion vomited blood last night."

"The eldest son of the Shen family is a sick man, with constant major and minor illnesses, what's so unusual."

"This time is not ordinary, I have a relative who is on an errand in the Shen family, saying that he has not been able to wake up since he was unconscious, and this morning I heard that the Hou Mansion invited Taoist priests to come. Looking at it, I'm afraid I won't survive the New Year. ”

"This eldest prince is also pitiful, young ......"

"But isn't it, the Hou Mansion is the only seedling he is, if there is a case, then who will inherit this Hou Mansion?"

Xiao Changying's carriage happened to pass by this teahouse, and she listened to it briefly, and a hint of happiness came to her lips.

"Girl, what Sister-in-law Chang said is right, this Shen Fang's fruit is really not good."

"She is now the one who is doing things in my hands, where can anyone dare to lie to me? This Shen Fangzhi has taken so much cold poison, and it is now his fate. Xiao Changying smiled coldly, "Without my son, I will see what Shen Su will do, and how to check the salt tax in Jiangnan." ”

The maid beside him echoed when she heard this, "Since Shen Fangzhi can't hold on, we might as well speed up our hands and feet and give him the final blow?" ”

"It's nature. After a while, you will send someone to the Shen family to inform you and ask Aunt Chang to come to the Red Mansion. Xiao Changying remembered the few remaining stickers of octagonal begonias, and left a Shinto, "You don't have to give it all to her, just according to the usual amount." Shen Fang's death is approaching, and it is not a day or two. The more you get to the end, the more you can't rush. Of course, even if we make any more moves, according to the current Shen Mansion's hurry, we may not be able to notice it. ”

"Yes."

"But there's news from the Zhao family?"

The maid knew what she was talking about as soon as she heard it, shook her head and replied, "The slave has been paying attention to the movements of the Song family in Yangzhou, and Concubine Zhao is still locked up." didn't say that she was executed, and it was impossible to spare her easily. Master, this woman will have to confess to us sooner or later, in case the Song family finds out......"

"At the beginning, the Zhao family was collected because this person was greedy and greedy for money, and it was also for her ability to make drugs, and the poisons she made over the years have also helped me a lot. It's just that she was not greedy enough, and she couldn't poison her, but she was found out, so there was no way. As for what she recruits, I'm not afraid. For the Song family for so long, these actions behind their backs, do you think they haven't noticed anything so far? ”

The carriage happened to pass by Deji Hall at this time, Xiao Changying stopped her voice and subconsciously glanced over there. This Dejitang is the property of the Song family, and it is the dowry of Song Yansheng's mother Shen. In the past, it was a tepid ordinary pharmacy, but in the past six months, it has taken on a new look, not only the façade of the pharmacy, but also the way of doing business is also very different, and it must have received someone's guidance. Originally, the best business on Suzaku Street was the Rejuvenation Hall in her hand, but now it was squeezed up by Deji Hall.

She looked coldly at the horizontal criticism on the hall, and the few big words "Peace in the World" on the plaque were particularly eye-catching, she snorted, and was about to put down the curtain, but saw a young man in yellow Shi Shiran enter the room.

The maid next to her looked at it, and it was so familiar that the last time she dealt with Miss Fu, she stared at it in the Rejuvenation Hall, and she could see it clearly, but she was disturbed by this person and the six girls.

"Last time, was she the one?"

Xiao Changying's eyes were very poisonous, and she could see at a glance that the young man in yellow was dressed in disguise. She had murderous intentions for all those who disrupted her plans, and when she saw the man in yellow entering Deji Hall, she made a look, "Go, follow and see, what is this person doing when he goes in?" ”

I didn't succeed in dealing with Miss Fu last time, but I didn't expect this person and Song Yansheng to come to the crowd, and after listening to the reports of my subordinates, these two people still knew each other.

After waiting for a while, the maid picked up the curtain again and got into the car, "The servant has seen it, this person is taking medicine, and he has also taken an old mountain ginseng." But I see that her actions are covered, and there must be something strange. After asking the shopkeeper, I found that most of the herbs I took were refreshing. ”

"This Dejitang is Song Yansheng's mother's dowry, these things, if I expect them to be good, they should all be used on Shen Fangzhi."

Xiao Changying frowned, "You need such a large number of life-threatening herbs, so it seems that Shen Fang's fruit is really not good." ”

"It's just that why did the Shen family send an outsider?"

"Those few cold poisons have gone down, and now the Shen Mansion must have noticed it. Since Song Yansheng knows her, it is naturally a good relationship, if you don't believe the people in the house, it is appropriate to send her. The last time there was trouble on the street, didn't she say that she was a doctor? You wait for someone to follow her and see if it's the Shen family who went there. ”

"In addition, when Aunt Chang comes to the Red Mansion, let her be very careful when she wants to poison again in the next few days, and don't show anything about it."

"Yes." The maid nodded in response, "Aunt Chang is an old man, even if she suspects anyone, she can't find a secret nail like her for many years." ”

Xiao Changying said "um", finished thinking about it, and instructed again, "Keep an eye on the movements in Jiangnan, since the Qincha has already gone south, the situation of the three princes is not easy, although it is thousands of miles away, but if there is anything, we will definitely help him as soon as possible." ”

Here, the young man in yellow walked out of Deji Hall with his front feet, turned around and went to the Pingning Hou Mansion with the medicine. The spy who followed her all the way into the mansion concurrently served, and quickly went back to recover after standing for a while.

Here, the east side gate of the Shen Mansion was closed, and Chu Min casually threw the medicine he took to the corner who was standing on the side, dusted off the dust on his clothes, and made a smile, "Now, it's time for you to appear." ”

Jiaozi has always been clever, holding the herbs and smiling with crooked eyebrows, he couldn't see the calculation he was preparing at all, he responded crisply, "Aunt Chang goes out and goes to the small gate at the west end, and when she leaves, I will follow." ”

"Although you are not eye-catching, but in the end it is a house, pay more attention to the surroundings when you go out."

"Miss Chu, don't worry."

Chu Min entered the courtyard inside, the two little servants guarding outside the courtyard were still wiping their tears, and Shen Fangzhi broke his breath for a while this morning, and the whole courtyard fell into a moment of miserable crying. Chu Min opened the warm curtain without moving his eyes, and it was quiet, Song Yansheng was sitting on the edge of the bed, and he was playing with Shen Fangzhi and losing walnuts.

"You ...... Do you pretend to be a little restrained, too? Chu Min coughed and interrupted the two, "Look at me, this is my acting skills." ”

Shen Fangzhi laughed, put down the walnuts, and bent out a smile, "Miss Chu is hard, sit down and drink a cup of tea to warm up." His face was no different from the previous days, he was still pale, but he had a little bit of a neutral breath when he spoke, which showed that Chu Min's prescription had some effect.

"Don't drink it, I'll check your pulse again and see if I can adjust your body to the best state before attacking the poison."

Song Yansheng brought her tea and said with a smile, "I know that you are attentive, so sit down and take it slowly." He personally smashed the walnuts and stuffed them into her mouth, "Xiao Changying can you see you?" ”

"Self-sufficient. When her car came, my feet were numb. When they came, I could feel her gaze behind me when I turned my back. No, someone followed me all the way when I came back. ”

"Xiao Changying is a person who is ambitious and greedy, and he is very suspicious and difficult to deal with. If the play is not done enough, it may not be able to make her play. ”

"Then this fire lotus seed ......"

Song Yansheng peeled the walnuts, and said unhurriedly, "I've found someone to investigate." If this Jingmen says that anyone still has this thing in their hands now, only the Xiao family is left. This is also thanks to the memory of her previous life, she remembered that Xiao Changyuan was seriously injured when he went north to defend against the enemy, and the blade pierced into the lungs with venom. This fire lotus seed is rare, but it is not an extinct thing, judging from the number of times Xiao Changyuan has taken it, I am afraid that the number of them is not a few.

"Not only will I get rid of this dark nail with her hand, but I will also let her hand over the fire lotus seed with her own hands." She tossed the empty walnuts aside and smiled slightly, "This is just the beginning. ”

Red Mansion.

Aunt Chang came secretly, and after receiving the poison from Xiao Changying, she pinched the cuffs of the poison and went downstairs cautiously. She looked left and right, the Red Mansion was singing today, she was slightly distracted, listened for a while, and collided with a person running in the crowd, she pinched her cuffs, and subconsciously screamed "ouch" in pain.

"Who doesn't walk long?"

She was finishing scolding, but her voice suddenly stalked in her throat, and her face suddenly changed: "Slot?!" ”

The person who was hit was Jiaozi, who was holding a lot of notebooks in his arms, and they were all scattered on the ground at the moment. He also widened his eyes and said in confusion, "Aunt Chang, why are you here?" ”

Chang Guzi was shocked, but her reaction was also quick, "I'm here to listen to the play." ”

"But it's not fifteen today......"

"Because I happened to go out to buy something for my wife, I stopped by and listened to it for a while, otherwise I would be itching in my heart."

The slot squeaked "hmm", squatted down and began to pick up the notebooks on the ground, Chang Guzi saw that they were all drama books and the like, so she also squatted down to help, and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

"The young master just woke up and said that he wanted to listen to the play. But where can he stand this body, my wife sent me to buy it. ”

"The young master is awake?" Chang Guzi asked tentatively, "There was still crying in the courtyard just now." ”
