Chapter 20 Taking advantage of people's illness to kill people

The three-story ship is already the best boat that Jinling can rent, of course, if there is no comparison with the four-story palace ship next door, in fact, the three-story ship is also very luxurious.

Tong Huaiyuan looked at the guards in the palace with serious faces and capable clothes, and then looked at the big family, old and young, as if he couldn't find a reason to refuse.

Tong Qingyan looked at the calm lake without caring about herself, and had no opinion on Song Zhan's proposal at all, and even wanted to clap her hands in approval.

Mrs. Tong, who was sitting in the carriage and recuperating her spirits, as well as Wen and Zhou, also heard Song Zhan's proposal, but Wen didn't react at all, but Zhou stopped talking for a long time, and finally decided to say something.

"Old lady, my daughter-in-law thinks that the advantages of being with the palace outweigh the disadvantages."

Mrs. Tong pinched a piece of peach cake, looked at it and barely stuffed it into her mouth, nodded and motioned for Zhou to continue, and the encouraged Zhou was full of joy at the moment, but he still had a faint smile.

"This trip to the capital, the mountains and rivers are long, although this rented boat is not bad, but in case of encountering water bandits, I am afraid that our government's combat effectiveness will not be able to cope with it."

"There are general guards along the way to guard the safety of the waters of the Weijiang River, even if there are water bandits, there is nothing to worry about when you call the police immediately." Old Madam Tong took a sip of tea and suppressed the sweetness in her mouth, and then looked at Zhou, who was about to speak, "Besides, although we are merchant ships, as long as we hang the official flag, even the water bandits dare to provoke us......"

The old lady who suddenly kept silent did not arouse the doubts of Zhou's Wen, and both of them were immersed in their own thoughts.

Wen didn't think about going to Beijing on the same boat with the palace, and instinctively felt that he wanted to stay away from the Huai Wangfu family, but Zhou was searching his stomach and thinking about how to persuade the old lady, Master Tong was the most filial, and the old lady nodded and it would be easy to do.

"What the old lady said is very true, but His Royal Highness has already spoken, if he refuses, will he be too ruthless, and he wants to come to Huai Wangfu to give a favor, after all, in the few days we lived in our house, we did our best."

When Zhou felt that the old lady would not agree again, and he was really poor in donkey skills, and he was not ready to speak again, the old lady actually agreed.

"You're right, it's not good to be so rejected. Since you are going to enter Beijing on the same boat as the Huai Wangfu, you two must restrain everyone in the palace and don't collide with the people of the Huai Wangfu. ”

"Yes."

With the permission of the old lady, Zhou immediately opened the curtain and whispered a few words to the personal servant, the servant woman was not from Zhou's courtyard, but she also knew the seriousness of the matter, and immediately ran to relay it to Tong Huaiyuan word for word.

"Since His Royal Highness the Prince is gracious, the lower officials thank you here."

Tong Huaiyuan bowed sincerely, and Song Zhan hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, commanding the palace guards to help Tong's subordinates move the cages to the taller and more luxurious palace ships.

In the spacious and warm carriage, the princess had not yet opened her eyes, and the bright moon, who had witnessed everything through the small gap in the curtain, stared at the vague figure with hatred.

Knowing that it would be no good to meet this Miss Tong San, he just said a few words, and climbed onto the boat where the prince was going to take the palace, and Mingyue, who wanted to stop it and had no choice, looked back at the princess who was still sleeping, and a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes.

The thin fingers pinched the corner of the carriage curtain, and suddenly raised it violently, and the cold wind poured in violently to replace the warm incense in the room, and Princess Huai shuddered and opened her eyes angrily.

Mingyue suddenly leaned over and kowtowed, trembling and pleading.

"The princess forgives the sins, His Royal Highness the Prince of Shicai sent someone to inform him, the slave maid didn't pay attention to let the cold wind come in, disturbing the princess, and the slave maid deserves death."

As soon as he heard the name of the prince, Chen stubbornly resisted the urge to get up and burst out of anger, yawned lazily, sat up, and Mingyue quickly stuffed a soft pillow into Chen's waist.

"Are you ready to board?"

"No, it's ......"

Chen looked at Mingyue's hesitant appearance, and was extremely displeased and frowned.

"What the hell is going on? What do you want to say and stop, what can't you say! ”

"It's the prince who sent someone to say, Niangniang has to wait, and the son of the world sent someone to help the Tongfu move the gift box."

"What?!"

"And it's moving to our palace's ship, and we want to take our palace's ship to Beijing together."

"Someone, someone! Go and call the prince for this concubine! ”

Chen shouted out of the carriage at the top of his throat, and Mingyue lowered her head and grinned silently.

Tong Qingyan, who was worried that Song Zhan had an embarrassing chat with his father and didn't have a match, and he couldn't sit back and continue to eat wontons, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the people in the palace who were running here, and he was overjoyed.

Most of her mind has been paying attention to the little girl who only reached her chest, Song Zhan almost instantly sensed that her mood had suddenly improved, and in her doubts, the mother concubine came to talk to the new first-class maid Biwu, and the mother concubine woke up and wanted to see herself.

Tong Qingyan, who was looking forward to the world and finally leaving the world, immediately walked back to the wonton stall with pearls and double happiness.

After asking the stall owner for three more hot soups, he ate all the remaining wontons with the hot soup, and the three of them touched their bulging bellies with satisfaction, and a happy smile appeared on their faces.

Pearl also looked at the boiling soup with some unfinished eyes, thinking that the young lady who would definitely make it delicious after a while, and immediately resisted the urge to have another bowl of wontons.

Miss once said that if you eat a thing, you don't get tired of it.

No matter how delicious the hot wontons in this cold wind are, you can't eat too much, which destroys the most primitive sense of happiness brought by the hot wontons.

Although eight out of ten sentences of what the young lady said I couldn't understand the deep meaning, it didn't hinder the literal understanding, and one bowl of this hot wonton was enough.

Song Zhan was wearing a white cotton robe, the cold wind blew all the way, he didn't feel anything on his body, but his face was slightly tight, and he was standing outside the carriage with a tense face at the moment.

Mingyue lifted the curtain slightly, and sneaked a glance at the person on the tip of her heart, but was hurt by the ice cube face.

Why was he so talking and laughing when he was standing with the third miss of the Tong family just now, and he was so cold when he came here, he was really angry.

"Zhan'er, did you let the people from the Tong Mansion get on the ship of our palace?"

"Yes."

"How can you act like this, if this reaches the ears of the emperor......"

"When it reaches the ears of the emperor, I know that my Huai Wangfu has the intention to protect the emperor's attention, and I want to praise it."

Song Zhan wrinkled his eyebrows, obviously took care of waiting for the Tong family to board the boat and then invite the princess to board the boat, at that time, no one could say anything, who had such a big mouth, and informed the princess in advance.

Chen didn't know that his son was already unhappy, sitting in the warm carriage, wanting to go out to see what was going on for a while, and really unwilling to go out to blow the cold wind for a while, he was entangled, and suddenly looked at the warm milk tea on the stove, and his eyes lit up.

"Can the third lady of the Tong family come with you?"

Song Zhan, who was outside the carriage, didn't expect that the mother concubine would suddenly mention the little girl, and when she couldn't figure out what the other party was thinking, the best way was to wait and see.

Although he didn't get any response, Chen thought about the news in the newspaper and knew the answer.

"That's it, there are still three show girls who want to run for the election. Aside from Tong Huaiyuan's official position, he rushed to these three show girls, and it was also appropriate to escort them, you should go. ”

"Yes."

A turmoil ended so silently, and the Tong family didn't know that the two masters of the palace had already had a small dispute.

After boarding the ship at the speed of each hand and foot, the people of the Tong Mansion kept in mind the teachings of the masters, kept to themselves, and respected the people in the palace.

The wing room is sufficient, each of the three young ladies of the Tong family has one room, and Tong Qingyan chose the innermost one, which is as low-key as ever.

Pearl and Double Happiness made the bed, boiled water, and the seasickness medicine they bought were still on the table, and everyone didn't eat it, they all wanted to see how their bodies reacted after the boat started.

Tong Qingyan tapped her index finger on the windowsill a few times, thinking about things.

Shuangxi glanced at the neat room, poured a glass of white water and handed it to Tong Qingyan.

"Miss is worried about her cousin, right? Why don't you go to the cabin and have a look? ”

Tong Qingyan took a sip of white water on her chin, and when she looked up again, she had already thought about it and shook her head.

"To be on the safe side, it's better to wait until halfway to let my father and mother know, otherwise my cousin and they are very likely to be sent back."

"Miss really wants to let your cousin live in the lower room for so long?"

Pearl had an incredible expression on her face, and the picture of the cousin who looked weak and weak like a little doll was going to stay in the cabin for so long, and that picture couldn't bear to look at it directly.

"He begged me to go to the capital, why talk about going to the battlefield if I can't endure this hardship, besides, it saves a lot of money by going this way, and with my care, he won't be embarrassed to go, so let's do it."

When the young lady made the decision, the slave naturally had no opinion, so she disguised herself and blended into Wen Qi and Shi in the pile of people under the Tong family, packed up and stayed in the cabin.

Tong Qingyan thought very simply, going out to clothing, food, housing and transportation, but now relying on the Huaiwang Mansion, she doesn't have to worry about living and traveling at all.

If the rest of the food and clothing are self-reliant, probably no one will be comfortable on their own, and under their own wings, Wen Qi's master and servant are not far behind, at least there is no problem with food.

When the boat left the Jinling Wharf and sailed into the wider river, Tong Qingyan began to feel dizzy and vomit violently, and all the good ideas collapsed.

When Wen Lan rushed to the wing room when she heard the news, Tong Qingyan had already begun to vomit bitterness.

Her haggard face pierced her mother's heart, and Wen Lan looked at the pills on the table and asked about Double Happiness and Pearl.

"Why did you buy seasickness medicine, didn't Miss take it?"

Double Happiness and Pearl felt that Miss was so pitiful that it was better not to take the seasickness medicine.

"Back to Mrs., Miss Seasickness Medicine has taken it, but she vomited even more, these medicines don't seem to be useful to Miss......"

Tong Qingyan heard the conversation between her mother and Pearl in a dazed state, and moved her hands with great difficulty.

"An'er, are you awake? What do you think? Is it better? ”

Tong Qingyan wanted to speak very much, but she felt that she had just had the idea of speaking, and the vomiting sensation was about to come up again, so she hurriedly pursed her pale lips.

Fingers poked at the bed and slowly wrote a few words, Wen Lan carefully identified them, and finally understood.

"Tangerine water?"

As soon as Pearl heard that Miss wanted to drink orange water, she immediately volunteered to go to the kitchen, complicated things may not be good enough, but an orange water still can't be difficult for herself.

Shuangxi was worried that Pearl had messed up, and was also sent by Wen Lan to help, leaving Wen Lan alone in the wing room to guard Tong Qingyan.

"You have suffered, your father has passed away, His Royal Highness is there, the old lady and aunt have gone to ask the princess for peace, and my mother really can't rest assured of you, so I hurried over, you should have reported it to my mother earlier."

Tong Qingyan couldn't say half a word now, so she could only blink apologetically, and she fell asleep again in the blink of an eye.

The person who slept on this slept was unconscious, and even began to have a high fever on the second day.

The eldest lady of the Tong family knelt down in tears and begged the princess to send the accompanying imperial doctor to diagnose and treat, but the conclusion was that the river breeze blew, and the wind evil entered the body and caused the high fever to not go away, but the symptomatic decoction could not be imported.

Then the whole ship knew that the third lady of the Tong family was sick, and she was very dangerously ill.

This cold wind on the river is really taking advantage of people's illness to kill people.
