Chapter 144: Bitter Meat Scheme
Three days have passed since the assassination, but not only did the Marquis of Guangping not chase and fight fiercely, but he was silent and there was no news.
The more this is the case, the more anxious Mu Yu becomes, and he doesn't know if this Guangping Marquis is plotting something more terrifying. Smelling the gradually thicker medicinal fragrance, she let out a long sigh and continued to wave the pu fan in her hand twice, only feeling tired.
"Mrs. Xie, your medicine seems to be getting mushy." Zhang Wei carried an oiled paper bag and put it in front of her, looking at the misty medicine pot with a hint of reproach in her eyes.
"Are you going to be mushy?" Mu Yu was startled, and forgot about anything else, she went to get the medicine pot with her empty hands, her fingertips instantly touched the hot spot, and the pain made her subconsciously withdraw her hand and pinch her earlobe.
Seeing this, Zhang Wei held two broken steps with both hands, stepped forward, took down the medicine pot, and complained a little angrily, "If Madame is not good at these things, why volunteer, this medicinal material is already scarce." β
Biyue had just come back from the soup kitchen outside, and as soon as she entered the door, she heard this Zhang Wei bullying her own lady, and she was even more angry in her heart, so she rushed forward and deliberately bumped Zhang Wei's shoulder.
Zhang Wei didn't hold the medicine pot steady, but it happened that most of the boiling pots of medicine were spilled on her feet, and some of them were also splashed on Mu Yu's body.
Zhang Wei drank Mu Yu and the two of them were wearing light-colored clothes, and the black decoction was sprinkled on their bodies, and the color was particularly obvious, especially Zhang Wei, who was soaked with a pair of embroidered shoes.
"Miss Biyue, what are you doing here?" Zhang Wei's painful face changed, and her anger pointed directly at Biyue, full of meaning.
Biyue looked at the decoction on her young lady in a stunned manner, and half squatted in a panic to check Mu Yu's situation, "Miss, I didn't mean to, are you injured?" β
Although Mu Yu also splashed some decoction on her body, it was not hot, at most it was dirty clothes, she took a half step back and pulled up Biyue, "I'm fine, you go to Master Wuchen first to ask for some burn medicine." β
Biyue gritted her teeth and almost cried, and trotted to find Wuchen to find medicine.
Mu Yu's gaze gradually fell on Zhang Wei's soaked embroidered shoes, and said for a while, "Miss Zhang is a person who can handle herself. β
"What are you talking about? Obviously it's your maid, I don't know what heart I have, I obviously saw me holding a decoction and bumped into me, Mrs. Xie didn't admit it, and she still wanted to shift the responsibility to me? Zhang Wei narrowed her eyes and continued with a sneer, "Mrs. Xie seems to be gentle and virtuous, but it seems that she is nothing more than that. β
Everything just now, Mu Yu can be said to have seen it clearly, Biyue did deliberately hit Zhang Wei, but this medicine pot was not spilled by Biyue, but Zhang Wei deliberately let go.
Moreover, Biyue and Zhang Wei collided head-on, if this decoction was really accidentally spilled, it should also be scattered in the direction of Zhang Wei, and it would never show a spilled pattern on the ground.
"I've seen a lot of ......people who are ruthless to themselves," Mu Yu chuckled, "It's just that Miss Zhang, I really don't know what you're doing, why are you framing me like this?" β
"Mrs. Xie is really interesting, you keep saying that I framed you, so do you have any evidence?" As she spoke, Zhang Wei pointed to her feet, "Besides, it's me who is injured now, I have no reason to hurt myself so much, right?" β
Since Zhang Wei didn't say it, there was no point in asking Mu Yu, but she really couldn't figure it out, these days, this Zhang Wei has been frequently hostile to herself, and she has not shown favor to Xie Chongning for the first time, is it true that it is just because she likes Xie Chongning?
If she likes Xie Chongning, she can express it well, but it turns out to be weird, and every day is like a harem battle drama.
Biyue asked for scald medicine, followed by Xie Chongning and Wuchen.
"Miss, I brought the scald medicine, let me see if you're injured?" Biyue ran to help Mu Yu and make her sit down.
"I'm fine, but Miss Zhang should be seriously injured, I want this ointment for Miss Zhang, you go and take care of Miss Zhang."
Biyue's anxious expression immediately turned into disgust, "I'm not going, I want to see if you're hurt, Miss." β
Xie Chongning stepped forward quickly, supporting her instead of Biyue, with a hint of worry between his eyebrows, "But it's hot?" β
"It's okay, I'm not hurt, it's just that my clothes are dirty." Mu Yu looked away cautiously, trying not to look at Xie Chongning.
One or two ignored Zhang Wei, Zhang Wei was really injured, she couldn't take a step at all because her feet were in pain, and just as she was about to speak to attract Xie Chongning's attention, a pair of hands as white as jade stretched out next to her.
These plain hands are slender and clean, with clear bones, and the owner is dust-free, dust-free with a pair of clear eyes, without half feelings, "If Miss Zhang doesn't mind, I'll take you to take a rest." β
Wuchen, a monk, is used to Zhang Wei's cold face, she has long been used to it, and now Wuchen and amiably have to take care of her, which makes her uncomfortable.
Zhang Wei looked at Wuchen strangely, and did not take the hand in front of her, but looked at the intimate Xie Chongning and Mu Yu, like a kitten, and said aggrievedly, "Mrs. Xie, don't blame Biyue, I know she didn't mean it." β
This drama essence, Mu Yu smiled in his heart, turned his head and apologized guiltily for Biyue, "This is indeed Biyue's fault, this girl was careless and accidentally bumped into Miss Zhang, otherwise the decoction in Miss Zhang's hand would not have accidentally spilled out and spilled onto you and me." β
As soon as she said this, she could prevent Zhang Wei from implying that Biyue's behavior was instructed by herself, after all, she was also a victim.
"I see that Miss Zhang is so seriously injured, let's hurry up and apply medicine, you still have to treat patients in the next few days, you must not make any mistakes, otherwise I will be a big sinner."
Mu Yu glanced at Biyue and asked Biyue to hand over the medicine to Zhang Wei, Biyue lowered her head and stuffed the medicine into Zhang Wei's hand with some resentment, "Miss Zhang, I'll help you go back and rest." β
Biyue didn't wait for Zhang Wei to refuse, pulled Zhang Wei's sleeve, and walked out slowly with her.
Wuchen and Mu Yu glanced at each other, nodded and went out, Mu Yu reached out to deal with the broken and broken medicine pot, but was pulled by Xie Chongning, "Don't move." β
"I still have to boil medicine for the patients." Mu Yu explained.
"I'll come." Xie Chongning patted her on the shoulder, asked her to sit back in her seat, and went to pick up the shattered tiles by herself, "The Marquis of Guangping seems to be quiet these days, I sent someone to investigate, and found that he had secretly gathered the army again. β
"He still has to ......" Mu Yu was stunned for a moment, and began to secretly calculate the days in his heart, and he didn't know how long it would take for Qin Xu's rescuers to arrive, and he was most afraid that it would be too late.
Xie Chongning picked up the fragments, "So in the past few days, I'm afraid there will be a fierce battle." He said this to make Mu Yu feel prepared.
Mu Yu, who had run out of ammunition, had no choice, and nodded sadly, she only felt that she had spent all her worries in her life in the past few days, and she was going to be bald.
"In terms of the epidemic, the dustless master still hasn't found a medicine that can be treated?" It was precisely because he didn't want to see that cruel scene again that Mu Yu switched from the front to boiling medicine, but if there is no treatment medicine for a day, more people will die here one day.
Xie Chongning shook his head, and seemed to be a little helpless, "Master Wuchen said, this epidemic is really strange. β
"Strange?" What's a strange way?
"According to our previous understanding, this epidemic should be a relatively contagious disease, but the time that our group has been in contact with the patient is not short, but no one has ever been sick."
That's true, Mu Yu thought about it, the four of them, counting the accompanying guards, more than 30 people, get along with these patients day and night, even if the protective means are good, it is inevitable that there will be a situation, but these dozens of them are not infected.
"Other than that, the disease is more about the appearance."
Mu Yu wondered, "What does it mean to be more embodied in appearances?" β
Master Wuchen looked at the corpse, and the disease was caused from the outside in. In general epidemics, the first thing to change should be the internal organs. β
Mu Yu was silent, listening to Xie Chongning say this, this condition does become more and more strange, in modern times, whether it is plague or smallpox, although it is first observed from the outside, it is indeed the five internal organs that have changed first, which will cause other symptoms.
Thinking of this, she sighed, only hating that she didn't study medicine at the beginning, and she only had some superficial knowledge, which couldn't help them, "Now we can only hope for Master Wuchen." β
That Zhang Wei is not credible. At the beginning, Zhang Wei was hostile to herself, and Mu Yu can be understood as that Zhang Wei likes Xie Chongning, but these days have passed, Xie Chongning's attitude towards Zhang Wei is so bad, Zhang Wei is still bent on sticking a cold face to her ass, and even hurt herself in order to play tricks, she feels that there is something strange in it.
Zhang Wei and Xie Chongning have only met a few times, so they are so deeply rooted? I'm afraid that's not the case.
Because Xie Chongning had long known the thoughts of the Marquis of Guangping, this time, all the refugees they had arranged in the mountains and forests in the distance, as far away from the battlefield as possible.
The army of the Marquis of Guangping came to the door, but the Marquis of Guangping did not show up in person.
The butler stood under the horse and looked at the four of them helplessly, "Four adults, don't blame the little one, the little one also listens to the Hou Ye." β
Zhang Wei wrapped her feet in bandages, stepped on her shoes, gritted her teeth and pointed at the housekeeper, "We have obviously written the letter of recommendation, you actually crossed the river and demolished the bridge, aren't the Marquis of Guangping afraid that the emperor and Luan Pinghou will know the truth and let him bury us?" β
The housekeeper shook his head, "Miss Zhang is still a little naΓ―ve, since our Hou Ye dares to attack a few people, he will naturally ensure that what he does is not leaky." β
