Chapter 44: Mourning and Death

"Be quiet, we're coming quietly, don't alarm the rest of the house."

Hearing this, Wutong really closed his mouth, and hurriedly came out to open the door for a few people, and let Diecui and Mu Rong come in and put things on the small coffee table in the courtyard, and take a breath for a while.

"Thank you, Mrs. Xiao, for remembering to come and see my young lady, but here, how did you get in?" Wutong poured tea for the guests while talking, and Zhang Yuge still lay in the recliner and did not wake up.

Su Jiao took a look, this set of tea sets and tea was not of ordinary quality, and it looked out of place in such a desolate yard.

"I think it's strange for you to ask this, it's also the prince's mansion, and there is a side door, the lock on the top has not been repaired for many years, and the hibiscus gently pushes it, and it falls off by itself, and I'm not afraid that someone will come and steal things. Hehe. ”

Su Jiao raised her head and drank all the tea, while thinking about what tools she needed to take care of this yard, and by the way, she complained about Xu Rulie's mansion and laughed softly.

"The third prince naturally doesn't have to worry, this small courtyard is equivalent to being separated from the prince's mansion. Just in front, there is a wall made of iron rods, even if someone can enter our courtyard, they may not be able to sneak into the Three Princes' Mansion. ”

Wutong also smiled reluctantly, and then pointed forward with his hand, and his expression suddenly darkened again.

This is completely equivalent to putting Yuge here to fend for themselves.

Su Jiao looked in the direction and couldn't help but be silent for a moment, but she was afraid that the atmosphere was too dull, so she turned to Zhang Yuge. "Forget it, let's not talk about this for now, by the way, is Yuge asleep, why are we here for a while, and she hasn't woken up yet?"

"Well, in the morning, the queen called the young lady and the third prince to the palace to talk, and the young lady was indeed tired after this toss." Wutong nodded, and just wanted to persuade Su Jiao not to disturb, Zhang Yuge woke up leisurely.

"Wutong, I seem to have heard Mrs. Xiao's words?" Zhang Yuge tore off the cloak covering his body, and suddenly opened his mouth, which frightened both Wutong and Su Jiao.

"Why are you asleep here, be careful of catching a cold." Su Jiao got up dryly and comforted, almost forgetting that it was noon under the scorching sun.

"You lie down first, have a good rest, don't get up, I'll come and talk to you."

Saying that, Su Jiao waved her hand, and hurriedly asked Mu Hibiscus to open the package and hand it to Wutong, "I heard that you are not feeling well, so I specially brought you a few medicines with better effects, it just so happens that the weather is relatively hot these days, you often take a bath and change your clothes, it won't take long to get better." ”

"By the way, you haven't eaten yet, I've brought you some snacks, why don't you try it?" Su Jiao was afraid of her own words, and she evoked Zhang Yuge's sadness, so she quickly changed the topic after explaining.

However, Zhang Yuge waved his hand, looking very tired, but he didn't see much sadness, "Madame, don't be busy, thank you for coming to see me at this time." ”

"Fortunately, I already knew what kind of person the third prince was before, so I didn't feel much sad. Thank you so much, madam, for all these injuries you brought with your charcoal in the snow. ”

The voice landed, and before Su Jiao could talk to Zhang Yuge, she heard Wutong covering her mouth behind her and almost cried.

"Originally, the young lady's health was not good, and the old lady deliberately added a lot of ointment to the young lady's dowry, but last night, His Royal Highness indiscriminately took away the young lady's snow lotus to recuperate. This delayed Miss's medication, and I don't know how long it will take for Miss to recover. ”

Wutong covered her mouth and nose tightly, because of Zhang Yuge's instructions before, she couldn't say anything, but now Su Jiao came over, and she could be regarded as someone who could talk, so she couldn't help but say it.

Su Jiao was stunned when she heard this, and reached out to hold Zhang Yuge's hand, "What, do you have any old diseases, how useful is Snow Lotus, why do almost everyone want to grab it?" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yuge patted the back of Su Jiao's hand, and then raised his head to Wutong, "Mrs. Xiao, they came from afar, they must have not had time to eat, Wutong, you might as well go to the kitchen and take a look, make a few noodles soup." ”

"Yes." Wutong took a deep breath, and Su Jiao immediately said, "You also go and help Wutong, I'll say a few words to Yuge here." ”

The words landed, and after all the maids left, Su Jiao turned around, only to see Zhang Yuge pursing her lips and smiling lightly, "Thank you Mrs. Xiao, it's actually not worth anything, it's just that my mother suffered from the cold on the day of delivery, which caused my body bones to be bad when it was hot, and I was clearly sweating, but my body was still very cold." ”

"As for the snow lotus that Madame asked, it really has nothing special, if you really want to talk about it, except that most of it depends on the tribute of other countries, it is rare to obtain, and it is probably equivalent to a person who is about to die of thirst, and he can't drink too much water at a time, this snow lotus is equivalent to a sweet spring that can just quench his thirst and not hurt his body."

"That's the equivalent of a harmless medicine tonic." Su Jiao listened and thought roughly in her mind.

From this point of view, this snow lotus can be regarded as chicken ribs, but it can also occasionally come in handy for life-saving.

"It's a three-point poison, Su Lian hasn't reached that level yet, the third prince will feed Su Lian Snow Lotus, and I'm really not afraid of feeding people badly."

"If it weren't for that, how could it show that the third prince attaches great importance to Aunt Su, and it is rare for me to obtain this piece of purity." Zhang Yuge smiled lightly, almost touching the back injury on her back, and she gasped in pain.

Su Jiao couldn't bear to look at it, so she stroked Zhang Yuge's arm so that she could be calmed down, and by the way, she found another medicine to relieve pain and play, "Having said that, but last night, did the third prince abandon you so easily, it's too much." ”

"If I tell Madame that it wasn't the intention of the Third Prince last night, and it wasn't my wish, is Madame credible?" Zhang Yuge patted his chest, barely feeling better.

"I believe it." Su Jiao handed her a cup of tea and said very resolutely.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuge smiled back, "This morning, the queen sent someone to call me and the third prince into the palace and said a lot of things. I was suspicious of the pot of wine that caused the three princes to lose their minds, but the queen mother herself said that it was not me. ”

"But even so, it hasn't changed at all, the third prince naturally can't choke with the queen mother, so he can only vent on me, thinking that I will spend the rest of my life here."

These words instantly reminded Su Jiao of the queen's assurances to the princess that she overheard at that banquet. The queen said that she would solve this matter, and it turned out to be such a method.

"Actually, if you can, you can tell your father or Earl Yong'an, it's better to change to a better place, it doesn't matter if you live with the third prince and completely tear your face, the two of you have their own lives, and you can live a good life."

Su Jiao pursed her mouth, at this moment she completely understood the sins of imperial power, but Zhang Yuge listened to her quietly and finished speaking, but she did not agree.

"On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly, the three princes will not let it go easily, I might as well stay here, it is quiet and saves trouble, and it can also save trouble for the family."

"If my brother comes back one day after making military achievements, maybe I can go to some ancient temple to practice and live a stable life." Zhang Yuge behaved very calmly, as if he had really made up his mind to stay away from Hongchen.

"I didn't expect you to have plans for the rest of your life so soon," Su Jiao was extremely surprised by her words, and then reacted, and couldn't help frowning.

"If there really is such a day, how distressed your brother should be, and it is too hard to practice or something, you will not come to this point."

"I know, but it wasn't my wish to use the power of my family to make it convenient. Since I can't have a lover, it's better for me to live cleanly. Zhang Yuge looked up, and his pupils were as calm as water.

"It's just that I'll only tell Madame that you are alone, and I ask Madame to keep it a secret, and don't let my father and aunt know about it."

"Of course." The countess was already broken enough last night, and when she heard Zhang Yuge's words again, wouldn't she faint directly.

Su Jiao thought for a moment, patted the back of her hand and stood up, "It's not too early when I come out today, I won't disturb you to eat, you remember to take care of yourself, if there is anything missing, I will find a way to get it for you." ”

Thinking about it, Su Jiao added another sentence, "The next time I come to see you, I hope you can be well, and I plan to ask you to teach you how to embroider stitches." ”

"Okay." Zhang Yuge nodded, and a few people who happened to go to the back to cook came out with two bowls of noodles.

"Mrs. Xiao, don't you stay here to eat?" Wutong put down the things and wiped his hands, Su Jiao shook her head, "No need, it's not too early, we should go." ”

Then, taking advantage of Zhang Yuge's lack of attention, Su Jiao deliberately went up and instructed in Wutong's ear, "You must remember to take good care of your young lady, watch it from time to time, and avoid accidents." ”

"What?!" Hearing this, Wutong was shocked, but Su Jiao had already left after speaking, and then looked at the recliner again, Zhang Yuge fell into a deep sleep again.

Anything, even other people's supplements have to be grabbed, Su Lian and the two of them are planning to suck Zhang Yuge dry.

On the carriage back, the more Su Jiao thought about it, the more embarrassed she became, and she slammed her fist on the carriage angrily, which frightened Diecui and Mu Rong as well, but they didn't dare to ask more.

In the next few days, to avoid being discovered, Su Jiao didn't dare to come too diligently, so she missed two days. However, on the third day, it was the day when Zhang Yuge went home, and sure enough, she was the only one.

On this day, Xu Rulie was not available because he wanted to accompany Su Lian to the lake to row, and Zhang Yuge didn't know what to say when he went home, and there was no movement in the household.
