"Okay, plug it." Su Jinyao nodded, watched Aunt Ma re-stuff the bamboo tube, and then continued: "Take this bamboo tube on (shēn) and feed the Gu worms every three meals. After hearing this, Aunt Ma still did so, took the small bamboo tube containing the Gu worm into her arms, and asked, "Then what?" ”

Su Jinyao said: "When it's time to lay eggs, the green worm will naturally take you to your daughter." Just follow it. When the time comes, which girl's (shēn) will lay eggs, and that will be your daughter. ”

"Then will my daughter be harmed by Gu worms?" After all, Aunt Ma is a mother, and of course she is most concerned about the safety of her daughter.

Su Jinyao shook her head and said, "The green worm lays eggs under the skin, and there will be some pain. If only you let your daughter bear with it. After three days, the larvae hatch, you feed the mother and larvae with blood again, and the mother flies away with the larvae. After that, there was no harm. ”

Aunt Ma nodded, then remembered something, and asked anxiously: "But I heard that the green worm is a child and mother worm, so I have a son." How did the frogworm know that I was looking for my daughter? If it had decided that my son had flown over, I still wouldn't have found it. ”

Su Jinyao explained: "The eggs laid by the insects are divided into male and female, and the male eggs are laid on your son's (shēn), and the female eggs are laid on your daughter's (shēn). Don't you know your son? It was ruled out. Then the eggs on your son (shēn) are concocted according to the law. If you have several children, that's enough for you. However, the insect can only lay a maximum of seven eggs, and you can have no more than seven children. ”

"No, no, I only have one pair of children." After Aunt Ma finished speaking, she pressed the position of the bamboo tube with her hand again, as if she was afraid that this Gu worm would be lost and run away.

Su Jinyao sneered and said, "Your business (qíng) has been done, but my business (qíng) has not been resolved." Now you can tell me what the hell is going on, right? ”

Aunt Ma was stunned for a moment, just now she was really in a hurry to find her daughter, so she forgot about letting Su Jinyao leave quickly (qíng). Now that the green worm has also been accepted, Su Jinyao naturally wants to know the truth.

Su Jinyao saw that Aunt Ma pursed her lips and didn't speak, and said, "Aunt Ma, I gave you the green worm just now because His Majesty asked me to help you find your daughter." I also want you bones (ròu) - reunion. But weighing the pros and cons, I must not be such a heartless and selfless person, and I have poisoned the shēn of the green worm. If you don't tell the truth, the Gu worm hatching (rì), that is, when your mother and son, mother and daughter are killed, there is absolutely no solution. ”

"What?" Aunt Ma was startled, and her hand that was holding the bamboo tube tightly just now trembled, and the whole person took two steps back.

After coming back to her senses after a long time, Aunt Ma said: "Miss Liu, I have never harmed you, and I also helped you meet the prince (diàn), although this is not a grace (qíng), but it is also a person (qíng)." And I don't tell you the truth, it's also because of the Queen Mother's message, not because I have any malicious intentions. But if you are angry with me, forget it, I will not confide a word more for the sake of loyalty to the Queen Mother. But why do you want to harm my son and daughter? ”

What Aunt Ma is most afraid of is of course not that she herself is going to die, but what Su Jinyao said, and the green worm will also affect her son and daughter. Now Aunt Ma regrets it, blaming herself for being anxious to find her daughter, and she didn't even pay attention to Su Jinyao at all.

But now it's too late to regret it, Aunt Ma has no choice but to look at Su Jinyao with a nervous and sad face.

Su Jinyao saw that what Aunt Ma said should not be a lie, maybe she was really loyal to the Queen Mother and did not mean to harm herself.

She took out another small bottle from her arms, poured out three red pills and said, "These are three antidotes, when the green worm lays eggs, you mother and son, mother and daughter can take it." But you have to tell me the reason for letting me go all of a sudden. That's all, I'll leave right away. ”

"That's because of your (shēn) life. You are really the daughter of the Fang family. After Aunt Ma finished speaking, she said: "Originally, when you entered the palace, the Queen Mother felt that you were very familiar. But the daughter of the Fang family didn't enter the palace many times back then, and she saw the queen mother when she was a child, and she only saw it twice at the palace banquet when she grew up, so she naturally didn't have a deep impression. It wasn't until Mrs. Gu came to see you that she came to the Queen Mother to report that you should be the daughter of Fang Yingniang, the only daughter of the Fang family, because you are too similar. ”

Aunt Ma also believed what Su Jinyao said. In fact, even if the empress dowager is a kind being, after all, there is no reason to meet the children of those princes and ministers every day. What's more, the palace is not a kindergarten, and the queen mother is not an old mother, so there is no reason to show children to others.

It can be seen that Gu Xueqi is really liked by the queen mother, so she will live in the palace.

Of course, it is not excluded that the Gu family is the queen mother's maiden family, and the queen mother will be particularly partial to the descendants of the Gu family.

And even if Su Jinyao looks similar to her mother, the two people are different in essence (xìng), so they give people different feelings. Therefore, the Queen Mother has seen Fang Yingniang, but she is not familiar with it, and it is normal that she has not recognized it after many years.

But Mrs. Gu is different, she and Fang Yingniang are known as the four masters, and they can be regarded as good girlfriends. Today's Su Jinyao and Fang Yingniang have similar faces when they are in their prime, and they are not lacking in the spirit of beauty, so they are naturally more similar.

As for Mrs. Gu's meeting on the official road back then, Su Jinyao had just crossed over at that time, and in essence, she was still a silly girl Yao Er, and her family background was really not good, she was thin and small, and she was simply a village girl in rags. There is naturally a lot of difference from Fang Yingniang, who has been pampered in the Fang family since childhood.

And Mrs. Gu is already the wife of the prime minister, and she is just passing by in the carriage, and it is normal that she doesn't care if she glances at her cursoryly, so she doesn't recognize it.

Su Jinyao admired Mrs. Gu, and when she saw that she didn't show the slightest performance at the beginning, she didn't rush to recognize each other, and she was really deep in the city.

Looking back now, most of the gossip she talked about when she was eating with Mrs. Gu and Gu Xueqi was also related to the situation at home (qíng), which should have been a temptation.

Mrs. Gu also repeatedly praised Su Jinyao's external wisdom, saying that it was really rare for her to have such great achievements in such a ravine.

Su Jinyao couldn't say that she had crossed over, so naturally she said that it was the credit of her mother, but it was (yīn) who made Mrs. Gu confirm that she was Fang Yingniang's daughter.

Aunt Ma saw that Su Jinyao was still pondering, so she hurriedly urged: "Miss Liu, I really won't harm you." The Queen Mother was also very worried when she learned that you were an orphan of the Fang family. And I heard that you have also met with Yuguiren, she should also recognize you as the daughter of the Fang family, and it is hard to guarantee that she will not attack you. You believe me, I won't betray the Queen Mother, just hurry up. When Su Jinyao heard this, she stuffed the pill in her hand to Aunt Ma, and said, "What happened just now (qíng) is a lot of offense, the medicine is for you, you carefully feed the green worms, and I will definitely help you find your daughter." ”

After speaking, Su Jinyao was about to go out. But after walking a few steps, he turned back and said, "Aunt Ma, I promised the fourth prince that I would take Xiluo'er out of the palace." Look at this......"

"I'll ask her to send you out of the palace, so you can take her away. She was originally rescued by the fourth prince from the Yugui people, and there was nowhere to place it, so she was placed in Yazhu. She is not a palace maid who has entered the palace, so she doesn't need to greet anyone, I just need to get it. ”

After Aunt Ma finished speaking, Su Jinyao's brows furrowed, and she said suspiciously: "But Xizhuo'er told me that she is the daughter of a criminal minister and can't leave the palace easily." ”

Aunt Ma was also stunned and said, "That's because she remembered it wrong, right?" After she came, I saw that she was pitiful and deliberately checked the palace records, showing that there was no her name, and it should have been just obtained by Yugui from outside the palace. What's more, the four princes also admitted that Xi Shen'er was for the Yu noble people to practice Gu. ”

After a pause, Aunt Ma said again: "It's normal for children to have no memories when they are young. And when she was brought out of the Yuguiren by the four princes, 一 (shēn) was injured, and she was so frightened that she was about to go crazy, which was very pitiful. I guess that's what went wrong with memory. ”

Su Jinyao still felt puzzled when she heard this, but she couldn't notice anything wrong.

Aunt Ma urged her to hurry up again, and repeatedly told her not to stop before leaving the city. Su Jinyao didn't think too much, so she nodded and left.

Hurriedly returning to Qinglian Pavilion, Xi Shen'er was already packing her things. After asking, I found out that it was Aunt Ma who had sent someone to tell her that she was going to send Su Jinyao out of the palace (qíng).

Su Jinyao glanced at the things that Xi Shen'er was packing up, and said, "Except for the medicine bottle on my table, I don't want anything else." You come with me, and don't take anything with you. ”

Although Xi Zhuo'er didn't understand anything, she still nodded, obediently followed Su Jinyao's words, put aside all the things she was packing, and took a piece of furoshi to clean up Su Jinyao's medicine bottles.

Su Jinyao thought for a while, and then asked, "You're leaving, I don't know when you'll be able to come back, do you want to talk to the four princes?" ”

Xi Zhuo'er's hand paused, then shook his head and said, "No." The fourth prince originally planned to let me leave quickly, of course it would be good to be able to leave the palace as soon as possible, and there was no need to say hello. ”

Su Jinyao didn't say anything else, and took advantage of the fact that there was still some time to quickly gather the pair of magpies back, and give the antidote with the owl, planning to let them fly away.

Because the magpies nested here, the two big magpies naturally refused to leave alone, and Su Jinyao didn't have the time to send them back to the original tree, so she came to the yard and picked a similar tree for the bird's nest to put on.

After more than a day, the little magpie was very energetic because of eating a lot of Gu worms. It is estimated that when these four little magpies grow up in the future, they will also have a certain ability to resist Gu poison.

As for the owl, because it was daytime, the owl didn't want to fly away, so Su Jinyao put it on a rafter under the eaves. When the evening came, it flew away.

These were all ready, and the joy pendant was also packed up, so Su Jinyao took the joy pendant and hurriedly walked towards the outside of the palace.

When I came, Aunt Ma took it with me, and I took a different path. Of course, Su Jinyao still remembered the alley formed by the gap between the two long palace walls.

However, this time, Xi Shen'er led the way not over there, but from a small road around a few rockeries to go out. It was also a long walk before I saw the palace wall. I walked along the palace wall all the way until I came to a palace gate.

Xi Shen'er said before that they were going to go through the West Gate, which was the door where the little master in the palace usually sent the palace maids and eunuchs to go out to buy them. The master of this door will never come, only the subordinates and the people who deliver food and delivery to the palace will leave.

Su Jinyao has never felt that she is the master of the palace, so it doesn't matter what door she goes, as long as she can get out of the palace.

Even the humble small palace gate is guarded. However, it is not like the TV show, there are two rows of guards with real swords and guns on the left and right, but two elderly eunuchs and four guards guarding the door.

As soon as Su Jinyao and Xi Zhuo'er came over, the two old eunuchs came up and asked, "That from the palace?" Is there a token? ”

Xi Shen'er glanced at Su Jinyao, looking a little nervous.

Su Jinyao directly took out the copper token that Aunt Ma gave her and handed it over.

One of the old eunuchs took it and looked at it, and said to the other, "It's from Yining Palace." ”

The other also glanced at the sign and nodded, waving his hand at the guard standing in the doorway. The four guards moved out of the way.

Su Jinyao nodded politely, and took Xizhu'er out of the palace gate. As I walked through the door, I heard someone behind me and asked loudly, "Stupid girl, are you going like this?" ”

Su Jinyao paused, and could already hear that this was the voice of the second prince. And he rushed over at this time, can it be said to be a coincidence?

Although Aunt Ma told Su Jinyao that she didn't care about anything when she left the palace gate, and went out of the city directly to be answered.

But now that the second prince has chased after her, can she still run away with her head bored? What's more, will she be able to run?

Su Jinyao turned slowly (shēn), and saw the second prince striding out of the palace gate. When I went out, I looked left and right, and said, "I really wronged you, my stupid girl, I have to go through this small door." ”

Su Jinyao said casually: "I'm not from the palace, it's normal to go through any door, why did you come out of here, second prince?" ”

The second prince said: "I was just wandering around, and I saw you hurrying by, and I didn't notice me." I'm afraid you're in a hurry, so I'll come over and see if I need to do me a favor. ”

"No help, thanks. I'm just going home. After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she turned her head and prepared to continue walking.

Now it's Qingtianbai (rì), Lang Lang Qiankun, although the second prince stopped her here, can he still rob people on the street?

Su Jinyao wanted to leave as soon as possible, and the second prince would not chase her all the way from the streets of the capital.

didn't expect Su Jinyao to walk forward, the second prince strode over, and with one hand pulled away the joy pendant that she was pulling behind.

Xi Shen'er is young, (shēn) short and thin. What's more, the second prince's (shēn) is tall and strong, and even the tall Su Jinyao is the most cute (shēn) height difference in front of him, so the Xi Shen'er who was captured by the second prince is like a little chicken cub, who is carried in his hands at will, and he doesn't even dare to flutter.

That's right, it's carried. The second prince was holding one of Xi Shen'er's arms with one hand, and he had already lifted her feet off the ground. Su Jinyao was still holding Xi Shen'er with one hand, and tried to snatch her back with a slight force. Seeing the second prince pull hard, Xi Shen'er suddenly let out a cry of pain.

Su Jinyao hurriedly let go, so as not to tear off Xi Shen'er's arm.

Ke Xi Shen'er's arm may have been injured, and he looked in pain. But because it was still in the hands of the second prince, he could only grit his teeth and didn't dare to say a word.

Su Jinyao hurriedly said: "If the second prince has something to say, why embarrass a little girl?" She didn't provoke you. ”

"She really didn't provoke me. However, she used to be my mother's court maid, and the sale (shēn) deed and slavery were also in the hands of my mother. Do you think Aunt Ma can take her away if she doesn't find her palace registration? No way. ”

The second prince said, and actually threw the injured Xi Pendant up. Xi Shen'er was thrown high like a rag doll, and she exclaimed in fright.

Su Jinyao narrowed her eyes, and she was also shocked. But she didn't rush to the rescue.

First, she didn't know what the second prince was going to do. If he just wants to threaten himself with Xi Shen'er, then the more nervous he acts, the bigger the chips in his hand.

Second, Su Jinyao has always been calm and self-controlled. If faced with a choice, she will always choose the simplest and correct path. without releasing too much (qíng) sense, let the so-called sense (qíng) hinder her judgment.

In other words, if Xi Shen'er's existence might pose a threat to herself, Su Jinyao would consider giving up on her and leaving alone.

Of course, this sounds cruel, but Su Jinyao was trained in such a cruel choice.

No matter what time it is, calm choices and accurate judgments are her bargaining chips to protect herself. Once you give too much so-called sense (qíng), it is a matter of time before you die.

In the face of some painful choices, the mother-in-law compromised because of the other party's threats, so as to promise him all unreasonable conditions, then the other party really held his weakness.

So Su Jinyao just stood motionless, staring at the second prince with a vigilant expression.

But Xi Luo'er was not thrown to the ground, but was narrowly caught by the second prince when he was about to land. She really was like a thing, a toy, a rag doll that no one wanted, carried upside down on one foot and head-down in her hand.

Xi Shen'er was so frightened that she cried and convulsed at the same time, obviously because it was really painful.

Facing such a second prince, Su Jinyao's eyes darkened slightly, and then flashed again. She used to be a killer, but she never killed indiscriminately. When she kills, she never tortures her target.

Even if she kills with a cold weapon, the most she kills is only a knife and a song, and she has never used any despicable means to kill people.
