119 The Heart of the Crane
After a few previous guesses, Zihan deliberately noticed that Shangguan Zhitao did have a unique fragrance on his body.
At first, I didn't think it was getting more and more intense these days.
As far as she knows, the deeper the poisoning of the flowers, the stronger the smell of the flowers.
It is an indisputable fact that Shangguan Zhitao was poisoned by the flower.
Qingwei sneered: "In the past, I didn't see them to care about it, but today it was such a coincidence, and they went before us?" ”
"You should have seen us out of the yard and went through the back door one step ahead of us." Shangguan Erya thought for a moment, "They shouldn't have said a word." ”
Qingwei suddenly realized, "No wonder Wu'er is staying in the yard!" Could it be that they have some conspiracy to go to see the second lady? That's why the eldest lady told us to be on guard? ”
"It's not a conspiracy, but it's going to be tricky!"
Shangguan Erya snorted, "The Li family has always been unprofitable, she pretends to be affectionate every time she uses Shangguan Yunzhu, but she didn't expect that she only took a few oranges and wanted to send them away." ”
"Will the second lady agree? She has become like this, if she still does bad things to the princess, it will be really good to forget the scar and forget the pain! ”
Shangguan Erya just smiled, some people are such a pursuit, taking it as their responsibility to hurt others.
Zihan on the side said: "Then we have to take good precautions, does the eldest lady think that they will be ineffective against Aunt Ye?" ”
"Be prepared."
She didn't care what the Li family did when they found Shangguan Yunzhu, but as long as they dared to join forces against themselves, or the people they cared about, then she would definitely make them pay the price of blood!
Zihan heard her say this, and took the order to go outside, and it happened that Mama Yang came back, and the two talked in the courtyard before she walked into the house.
Mama Yang didn't care about saluting, walked to Shangguan Erya's side, and whispered a few words.
Qingwei took a step back, and saw Shangguan Erya suddenly sneer, "It's really a great thing." ”
Mama Yang was not so hot, her face turned cold, and she asked in a low voice, "What do you think the eldest lady should do?" ”
Shangguan Erya's fingers unconsciously knocked on the table next to him and fell into deep thought, and the people in the room did not dare to disturb him.
After half a cup of tea, Shangguan Erya spoke, "Pour me some water first." ”
Qingwei couldn't help laughing, and repeatedly owed to admit her mistake, "It's all the slaves and maids who are negligent, and the slaves and maids will go and pour it for you." ”
When everyone saw her relaxed expression, they guessed that she already had an idea.
Mama Yang also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I heard Zihan say that the slave maid will go back to the princess later." ”
"Invite a famous doctor in Beijing, and say that Aunt Ye has a cold, and I, as a daughter, will send two people over to serve in order to fulfill my filial piety." Shangguan Erya smiled, "It is estimated that the Li family also needs to take the pulse well." ”
"Yes, the old slave will definitely find someone who knows his roots and confidantes to take the pulse of his aunt and princess." Mama Yang smiled and left.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in the house, Shangguan Erya raised his voice and said: "Xuanji, you go to investigate Shangguan Le's outer room, and you see that the New Year is about to end, and it is time to reunite." ”
Xuanji was a little surprised, the eldest lady had long known about the existence of Shangguan Le's outer room, and when she suddenly mentioned it today, it must be related to the Li family.
"Yes."
Xuanji replied in the dark.
In the evening, Mama Yang came in and reported: "Eldest Miss, the princess agreed, but the doctor didn't let people into the house, and assigned it to the second lady, saying that it was for her to take care of her body." ”
She said hatefully: "It's a pity that I can't find out about this in person." ”
Shangguan Erya smiled indifferently. "It doesn't matter, Li has always been a cautious person, she will invite other people to come sooner or later, all I want is a result."
In winter, it gets dark quickly.
During the national mourning period, Kyoto stopped all entertainment, and the families turned off the lights early and blew wax and fell asleep.
There was only one lamp left in the main house of Jiali Garden, and Shangguan Erya sent everyone to sleep and sat alone at the table.
Her front was covered with large and small balls of paper, but she did not practice writing with a pen.
The dim light shrouded Shangguan Erya in it, elongating the shadow on the back of the chair, and she looked serious...... Stacked with paper cranes!
But there was a sigh.
"Failed again."
The rice paper was too soft to achieve the effect she wanted.
However, Shangguan Erya was not discouraged, took out another piece of paper, and carefully folded it according to the memories of his previous life.
When the last step is taken, a paper crane is displayed in her hand.
Shangguan Erya laughed childishly, remembering that a long, long time ago someone told her that paper cranes could pray for the sick and wish them a speedy recovery.
She held up the paper crane to the light, if it was real, could she fly to Ji Xinian's side with her best wishes and tell him what she meant.
Shangguan Erya didn't feel it during the day, but at night, the thoughts came like a tide.
She suddenly remembered that the two days she slept was not that she didn't dream of anything, and the reason why she slept so deeply and for so long was because she was full of thoughts about Ji Xinian.
Shangguan Erya was not afraid of the darkness in her dreams, as if Ji Xinian was by her side, so she didn't want to wake up.
But Ji Xinian must be very difficult at this time, who can accompany him instead of himself?
He is strong, and she must be equally resolute.
Shangguan Erya tried to resist the urge to fly to the princess's mansion, forcefully put the paper crane in his arms, and said in his heart: Let's wait for her to give the paper crane to him with her own hands.
In this way, even if they are separated in the future, Ji Xinian will not be lonely.
The paper crane represents her heart.
After a night of silence, Shangguan Erya fell asleep with a smile, looking forward to the meeting in her dreams.
※※※
For several days in a row, there was nothing to do, and on this day, Mama Hua came to Belle Garden again.
This time is not like before, her attitude is simply impeccable, and she speaks respectfully to Shangguan Erya.
Without waiting for Shangguan Erya to ask, Mama Hua took the initiative to say: "The eldest princess invites the princess and several ladies to catch up." ”
Shangguan Erya's heart jumped, reminiscing? I'm afraid that there is a purpose.
Shangguan Erya could guess that they were going to this trip for Ji Xinian, but she still hid her emotions well and politely refused: "Since it's a reminiscence, I, as a junior, shouldn't go to bother." ”
"The third lady also went, I heard that even the concubine of King Qin also went, and specially designated the eldest lady to go, so the slave maid came to pass on the princess's words, please be sure to dress appropriately."
After speaking, Mama Hua smiled and bowed and retired, "The slave maid still has to inform the third lady, please prepare first." ”
Mama Yang personally sent her out, and Zihan in the house went to choose clothes without saying a word.
Qingwei said: "Didn't you say that you can't hold a banquet during the national mourning period?" ”
"It's just a small story, it's not a banquet, and the eldest princess has to respect even King Qin."
Shangguan Erya pointed to a set of clothes on Zihan's left hand, "Just this gray brocade long jacket skirt." ”
"Wouldn't it be too vegetarian?" Zihan asked.
"I still don't think I'm vegetarian enough." Shangguan Erya said with a smile.
"But if the concubine of King Qin wants to see Miss, will it be rude to dress so plainly?"
"It's only when you dress flamboyant that you get the handle."
Qingwei couldn't help but ask: "Why does the concubine of King Qin have to see the eldest lady?" Isn't it ......"
Shangguan Erya frowned almost invisibly, but shook his head with a smile, "Don't think about it, even if King Qin sees me now, he should wear plain clothes according to the rules, this is how to understand etiquette." ”
Since the eldest lady said so, Qingwei and Zihan no longer spoke.
Shangguan Erya changed her clothes and went to the lily garden alone to ask for peace, and Princess Gong was very satisfied when she saw that she was dressed properly.
Before he could speak, Shangguan Zhitao hurriedly broke in, "Mother, I've packed up, let's go." ”
When the two of them turned around, they saw Shangguan Zhitao wearing a honey-colored gold tunic skirt, standing proudly opposite.
Li's complexion changed, and he reprimanded: "Zhi Tao, why are you dressed like this!" ”
"What's wrong? This dress is not very bright, but it is just gorgeous! I didn't say that you shouldn't dress up during the national mourning period! ”
Shangguan Yunzhu snorted dissatisfiedly, she wanted to see the emperor's grandson, and she definitely wanted to make his eyes shine!
Li was choked up, "You ...... you"
"Mother, it's too late, let's hurry up, if you arrive late, it's really out of place!"
Shangguan Yunzhu walked out happily, as long as she thought of seeing the imperial grandson, she couldn't wait to fly to the princess's mansion immediately, where could she care about seeing Li's face.
Li couldn't but take Shangguan Erya to get into the carriage with a calm face, and Shangguan Zhitao almost jumped up when he saw Shangguan Yunzhu also sitting in.
"Why are you going?"
"Peach! You sit well! Li snorted.
Shangguan Zhitao pouted, "Mother, what is she going to do?" ”
"Naturally, I was a guest." Li said: "This time, the eldest princess invited a few ladies and young ladies to be guests, although it is an ordinary reminiscence, but the concubine of King Qin will also arrive, and you will all have to keep to yourself at that time." Not to mention the noble status of King Qin's side concubine, the eldest princess has a ...... personality It's a little weird, you must remember not to mess around, otherwise you will anger the eldest princess, and your mother will not be able to help you. Got it? ”
"It's Mother." Shangguan Erya replied.
Shangguan Zhitao glanced at Shangguan Erya hatefully, "Got it." ”
Even if they go together, it's nothing, not to mention the fact that Shangguan Erya married Ning Lei can't be changed, maybe she will die in a few days, she is wearing this dress now, but she is so depressed!
Li was stunned when he saw that Shangguan Erya was very well-behaved, and the concubine of King Qin asked Shangguan Erya to meet by name, which must have something to do with Ji Cangzi.
This Shangguan Erya can't stay!
No, you must do it as soon as possible!
Unlike other royal families, the Princess's Mansion is located at the foot of the quiet Qishan Mountain in the suburbs, because she often does not interact with people, and the road is quite bumpy.
Along the way, Li was already preoccupied, and when he encountered bumps, he was even more dizzy, and his stomach refluxed and wanted to vomit.
Seeing this, Shangguan Erya hurriedly asked with concern, "Mother, are you uncomfortable?" ”
"I don't need you to pretend to be kind!" Shangguan Zhitao snorted, "Mother is very good, how can there be something." ”
Li Shiqiang smiled and said, "I'm fine." ”
Fortunately, when they arrived at the princess's mansion soon, the Li family took the lead in getting out of the car to go out to breathe, and Shangguan Zhitao, who was following behind, said viciously to Shangguan Erya: "I can tell you to keep to yourself, otherwise there will be no good fruit for you to eat." ”
Shangguan Erya only looked indifferently at Li's action of covering his mouth, and a meaningful smile crossed the corner of his mouth.
