147 The Death of the Eldest Sister (2)
After Qiu Xiyin came out of Qiu Busui's courtyard, he ordered Ah Zuo to find Qiu Zhengshen, tell him about the situation, and then went back to the house, but he couldn't read the book, so he simply took his life and took the embroidery.
The purse for Xie Jiashu has been ready, so she thought about making another autumn coat for Xie Tanwei, he has always liked exquisite clothes, and it is difficult to make it, and when she is ready, it will be autumn.
This time, the color she selected for Xie Tan was Phalaenopsis, embroidery was a delicate job, and between the needlework and thread flying up and down, her troubled heart gradually calmed down.
Qiu Busui will suddenly have an emotional breakdown at this time, the reason is not difficult to guess, it must be Mrs. Xie or Feng's shot, obviously, they took Qiu Busui's pulse with this move.
And the vein of Qiu Bufu is nothing more than Xie Jiamu, so either Mrs. Xie and the Feng family did something in the name of Xie Jiamu, or Xie Jiamu was moved by them to do something personally.
What she doesn't know is what they did, she has already stabbed the matter to Qiu Zhengshen, Qiu Zhengshen also went to the Qinyu Academy, presumably there is no problem in a short time, as long as there is enough time, she will find out the matter.
Thinking like this, she concentrated on needlework, and at the end of the day, she and her mother came to urge her to sleep, so she put down the needlework and fell asleep with Xiujin.
Originally, she thought that she would not be able to sleep, but she didn't want to fall asleep quickly, she didn't even have a dream, and when she was awakened by the sound of knocking on the window, she even had a sense of confusion that she didn't know what day it was.
"Knock knock—"
Qiu Xiyin came to his senses and sat up, "Who?" ”
"Girl".
Lan Shijiu's voice was very low, Qiu Xiyin looked out the window, the sky was dark, not to mention the moon, not even a star was missing, but the wind was stronger, with the sound of a call sign, the cherry trees and banana branches and leaves in the yard rattled.
Qiu Xiyin's heart was beating violently, Lan Nineteen came to call her at this time, it was definitely not a good thing!
She touched the black and put on her clothes, touched the window, and asked anxiously, "What's the matter?" ”
"It's the second girl, the second girl is gone—"
The wind carried a trace of coolness, blowing along the open window, Qiu Xiyin was cold all over her body, and the quacking of parrots in the distance was piercing and terrible, and she couldn't stop shaking, "No-no-no-"
"Yes, the subordinates are incompetent, and when they find out, the second girl is already weak, please punish the girl."
"What time is it?"
"Two o'clock".
There was still half an hour before dawn, and she had to take a look, otherwise the first class of people would find that she couldn't get close to half a minute at her current age!
Qiu Xiyin touched the darkness and put on his clothes and shoes, moved a brocade stool and climbed onto the windowsill, and lowered his voice, "Nineteen, you take me to the academy, don't let people find out."
Nineteen was startled, "Girl—"
"Quick!"
Qiu Xiyin's voice trembled slightly in the night, but it was firm and resolute, and there was no doubt, Nineteen didn't dare to say any more, reached out to hug her, started light exercises, and disappeared into the night sky in a moment.
The window of Qiu Busui's bedroom was still tightly closed, and Nineteen took out the dagger and flicked it gently, pushed it open, and landed silently in the room with Qiu Xiyin in his arms, and put her down.
He closed the window with his backhand, lit the candle, covered the candle with his hand, and whispered, "Girl, I faintly smelled blood in the air, and I felt that something was wrong, so I dared to break in."
When I came in, I put my feet on the sleeping vigil maid and the mother-in-law in the ear room to sleep, so that the girl did not have to worry that they would wake up."
Qiu Xiyin nodded, and stepped forward to lift the layers of snail tents hanging down in front of the bed, and Nineteen subconsciously grabbed her outstretched arm, "Girl-"
"It's fine".
Nineteen was silent and said, "Girl, stand back, I'll lift the tent."
Qiu Xiyin hesitated for a while, took two steps back according to his words, and Nineteen slowly opened the tent, and under the faint candlelight, Qiu Buyi's pale and blue face was gradually revealed.
Somehow, Qiu Xiyin's tears welled up at once, she took a deep breath, tried to suppress the well-up tears, and quickly stepped forward to lift the thin quilt covering her body.
Qiu Busui lay on his back, his hands folded on his chest in an orderly manner, but the hands that should have been white and flawless were full of dazzling blood red.
No, not only her hands, but also her bare forearms, her snow-white mid-coat, the light blue cherry blossom sheets under her body, and even the snow-white cotton wool under the sheets were all soaked in that dazzling color.
Qiu Xiyin never knew that a person's blood could be so much, and when it came out, it could even soak the whole person in blood!
She has only dealt with Qiu Bufu so many times before and after, and she can't talk about any deep friendship, looking at this tragic scene, she still can't control the sadness in her heart, "What happened later?" ”
Soon after the girl left in the evening, the master came, and the second girl refused to see the master, but the master went in anyway and asked the second girl what had happened.
The second girl refused to say anything, she kept crying, and after a while, the lady also came, and the second girl cried even more.
The lord and the lady stayed for half an hour, but the second girl still refused to say anything, and the lord and the lady had to go back.
After the master and the lady left, the second girl went to bed, Mama Xie lit Ning Shenxiang, arranged for the maid named Bizhi to keep vigil on the foot, and sent a little girl to guard the door, check it, and then rested.
In the middle, I stayed outside the window without any abnormality, until the smell of blood was too strong and floated out of the window through the cracks in the window, and my subordinates realized that something was wrong."
Qiu Xiyin listened to it and slowly took two steps forward, Qiu Busui's dignified and beautiful face was already lifeless blue-gray, but his expression was very peaceful, there was no collapse when she drove her away, and there was no despair that a self-destructive person should have, as if he had sunk into a sweet dream that others could not reach.
Actually, it's good-
Xie Jiamu, just from what she heard and saw, she could see that he was definitely not a good person, and there were also the shrewd Feng clan and the ruthless old lady Xie staring at each other.
Qiu Busui has come to this day, whether he marries Xie Jiamu or not, the road ahead is destined to be difficult, it is better to break it clean like this, but it is really a death to solve a thousand sorrows.
Just like in her previous life, in the end, all she thought about was just a dead word, not that she didn't want to live anymore, but there was no better way than to die-
She thought like this, but the tears welled up more fiercely for no reason, Nineteen let go of his hand, and the snail tent covered the figure of Qiu Busui who was lying quietly, and Nineteen said in a low voice, "Girl, it's almost dawn, you can't stay here for a long time."
Qiu Xiyin sniffed, the smell of blood in the room mixed with the fragrance of condensing incense formed a strange and rich taste, Qiu Xiyin sneezed twice, and coughed again, nineteen were shocked, "Girl, let's go back quickly."
Qiu Xiyin stepped forward in two steps and opened the snail tent again, the strange smell came to his face again, Nineteen subconsciously held his breath, Qiu Xiyin inhaled his nose again, this fragrance, something is wrong-
Seeing that it was not enough for her to open the tent, Nineteen also put his face on his face and hurriedly grabbed her in shock, "Girl-"
"Let go".
Nineteen was silent and carefully let go of her, but his hand was still on her arm, looking like he was ready to stop her from making any drastic moves.
Qiu Xiyin reached out and pinched Qiu Busui's jaw, slowly exerting force, as she exerted her strength, Qiu Busui's mouth slowly opened, and the strange fragrance in the air suddenly became rich, and even Nineteen smelled something wrong.
Nineteen asked, "Girl, this is—"
Qiu Xiyin let go of her hand, but Qiu Busui's open mouth did not close with her movements, and her eyes were blurred again, trembling and reaching out to close her mouth, biting her lip fiercely to prevent herself from crying.
"It's Mimonro!"
Qiu Xiyin was stunned word by word, just four words seemed to have exhausted his strength, Mi Mengluo, it turned out to be Mi Mengluo! Known as one or two thousand gold, Mimonluo!
Mimeng is a kind of flower, after the flower falls and bears fruit, cut its peel to make it pulp, and expose it to the sun to make it into powder, which is Mimengluo.
It is extremely difficult for Mimeng to survive, and there is very little pulp juice after the result, even if Mimeng of an acre of land survives and blossoms, the most he gets is only one or two Mimengluo.
Therefore, Mi Mengluo is extremely precious, and it has always been said that there are one or two thousand gold, and there is a strange fragrance in the mouth after eating, and it will not stop for three days.
Mimonluo is not poisonous, nor does it seem to be a drug that can make people unconscious, but it will make the sleeping person fall into a deeper dream, it is said that half a tael can make a person sleep for three days, unless it is poured with strong wine, the sleeping person can not wake up.
The wife of the founding ancestor of the Great Xiao Dynasty, the later Empress Dowager Shengwu suffered from illness in her old age and couldn't sleep day and night, so she often used Mimengluo to help her sleep.
Legend has it that this Shengwu Empress Dowager has the best appearance in the world, and is very loved by the founding ancestors, so Mi Mengluo has another elegant name, called Beauty Dream.
It was only with the aggravation of the Empress Dowager Shengwu's illness that the dosage of Mimengluo inevitably increased, and finally once, the Empress Dowager Shengwu passed away peacefully in her sleep, and after a long time, the palace realized that something was wrong.
Emperor Taizong was grief-stricken and believed that Mi Mengluo was the culprit who caused the Empress Dowager Shengwu to fall ill but no one noticed it, and even died prematurely, and ordered the destruction of all flowers, fruits and seeds related to Mi Mengluo, and no one was allowed to plant them, and if they violated, they would be beheaded.
Under the heavy punishment, hundreds of years have passed, and Mi Mengluo has long been extinct in the Great Depression, and Qiu Xiyin will recognize it because of Ning Shenzhi.
In her last life, after Xie Tanwei died, she couldn't sleep day and night, and she would be awakened by nightmares when she was very tired and asleep.
Ning Shenzhi didn't know where to find this Mi Mengluo, not this Mi Mengluo, according to her state of not being able to eat and sleep at the time, she would definitely not live for two months-
Unexpectedly, after a lifetime, she actually saw Mi Mengluo again here in Qiu Busui!
She remembered that the legend said that Mi Mengluo had long been extinct, and she had asked Ning Shenzhi many times where she got it, Ning Shenzhi kept silent, and where did the one used for Qiu Bufu come from?
Although Nineteen couldn't recognize Mi Mengluo, he had heard it, and he was shocked when he heard it, "Mi Mengluo? Mi Mengluo has been extinct for a hundred years, how does the girl know that it is Mi Mengluo? ”
If it was really Mimonluo, then revenge would never be suicide!
Qiu Xiyin clenched his fists tightly, trying to calm himself down, "Nineteen, you continue to guard here, stay until dawn, someone will definitely notice that something is wrong, you will take a closer look at the situation, and then return to me."
"Yes".
Qiu Xiyin paused, stepped forward and slowly pulled up the thin quilt, although she tried her best to endure it, a teardrop still rolled down the corner of her eyes uncontrollably, and fell on Qiu Busui's blue-gray cheeks, she moved her lips, but the second sister couldn't make a sound.
The second sister, her second sister, after losing her child, finally died in the hottest time of this summer, and since then her soul has been slim and can no longer be found.
Qiu Xiyin remembered that day when she held the "National Broken Post" and said that she and Xie Tanwei were talking about it, at that time, she was smiling and vibrant, her face was full of expectations and longing for the future, looking forward to her jade beloved, looking forward to being able to get out of the cold Qiu Mansion and go to the happiness she thought she had......
"Girl, it's almost dawn."
Qiu Xiyin closed her eyes, pulled up the thin quilt and put it on Qiu Busui's body, it was almost dawn, and she couldn't stay for a long time.
If someone finds out, not to mention the fact that she secretly sent nineteen guards here, she can't tell how she arrived here quietly in the middle of the night.
If Qiu Zhengshen or the Xie family found out that Lan Nineteen came over with her, how would she not mention it for the time being, Nineteen, she would definitely not be able to keep it.
"Girl".
Qiu Xiyin took a deep breath, took the candle from Lan Shijiu's hand, carefully examined the inner room, and stared at the sleeping Bizhi on Wuzi's feet.
Qiu Bu's death, no need to guess, it must be the hand of Mrs. Xie or Feng's family, Lan Shijiu has been guarding outside, although he didn't dare to get too close because of the suspicion of men and women, and it was windy and rainy outside, but if someone walked around, he would definitely find it, including the little girl guarding the door and Mama Xie in the ear room.
In this courtyard, only Bizhi, who was sleeping at Qiu Bufu's feet, could hide from Lan Nineteen's ears and eyes!
In that letter, or Bi Zhi did something to make Qiu Busui ingest Mi Mengluo, and at night while Qiu Busui was asleep, she didn't even have to get up, as long as she raised her arm, she could cut a wound on Qiu Busui's wrist.
Lan Shijiu must have figured this out, and she had investigated it before, but she didn't know whether this Bizhi was originally the person planted by the Feng family, or if it was later bought.
To be able to accurately cut Qiu Busu's wrist without alarming Lan Nineteen in this kind of night when he can't see his fingers, this Bizhi is really capable, and this Qiu Mansion is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon......
"Girl, let's go."
Lan Shijiu urged again, Qiu Xiyin took one last look at Qiu Busui, put down the snail tent, and fell into Lan Shijiu's arms, Lan Shijiu hugged her and quietly walked through the window......
……
……
"Mimonro?"
"Yes, it was windy last night, and the third girl Qiu deliberately lowered their voices again, most of them couldn't be heard clearly, only this one was Mi Mengluo, maybe I was too surprised, Qiu San girl said a little louder, and my subordinates heard it very clearly, it was indeed Mi Mengluo."
"Mimonro!" Ning Shenzhi sighed lightly, "It took so much effort to find Mimengluo, in order to kill a weak woman in the boudoir, really, it is really a tyrannical thing."
