Chapter 8: The Assassin
Damn it!
Zhou Xiyue sat alone in the boudoir, waving her sleeves hatefully, the objects on the table were all swept to the ground, hearing the movement in the room, Bai Ling thought that her young lady had an accident and hurriedly knocked on the door, and greeted uneasily: "Miss, what's wrong with you?" You okay. ”
Zhou Xiyue waved her hand and shouted coldly: "Bai Ling, let me in!" ”
Summoned by his master, Bai Ling cautiously pushed open the door and walked into the boudoir lightly: "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”
Zhou Xiyue hated and didn't speak, Bai Ling saw that the young lady's room was messy, Zhou Xiyue was depressed, she didn't want to touch her head, so she took the initiative to squat down first and clean up the objects that were swept to the ground by Zhou Xiyue.
Before she finished cleaning up, Zhou Xiyue held her chin and said quietly: "Xiaobai, why do you say that Brother Lu doesn't like me, where can I compare to that ...... What's her name? ”
Bai Ling half-squatted on the ground, and said while cleaning up the room: "Miss Hui, that little slut's name is An Jin." ”
His expression was indifferent, but his tone was extremely vicious.
Zhou Xiyue gritted her teeth: "That's it, that slut named An Jin!" As the daughter of the imperial master, she is just a small people! Brother Zhou, he actually punished me for that pariah! Brother Zhou actually ......"
The words were held back and couldn't continue, Zhou Xiyue slammed her fist on the table, there was a loud bang in the room, Bai Ling was startled, looked up and found that her young lady was already purple with anger, she hurriedly said: "Miss, don't go to your heart, that kind of little slut, there are ways to clean her up, don't be angry." ”
Zhou Xiyue was still angry, and pointed at Bai Ling and shouted coldly: "Then you tell me, how to clean up that waste!" ”
Bai Ling was startled, she didn't know what idea to come up with, so she had to say casually in a hurry: "It's better to poison that little slut directly, and you will always have trouble!" ”
Zhou Xiyue was stunned when she heard this, a look of thought flashed in her eyes, and after thinking about it, she waved her hand to beckon Bai Ling: "You will ...... like this tomorrow"
The next day, someone from the palace came to Lu's house to dictate the summons of the Son of Heaven, Lu Yunjing walked to An Jin's resting room to have a look, and finally said: "Miss An, the emperor announced that I have entered the palace, do you have anything you want, I ordered, no, I will buy it for you when I come back." ”
An Jin lay on the bed a little unfiguratively, holding the quilt and shaking his head weakly: "I don't want it, but Lu Dashao, you have to accompany me for medical expenses, then again, who was that woman yesterday?" ”
When he talked about yesterday's experience, not only was An Jin angry, Lu Yunjing was also a little irritable, but he didn't want to show it in front of An Jin, so he hung his head slightly and said, "She's just, the daughter of the deceased." ”
Seeing that Lu Yunjing didn't want to say much, An Jin suddenly felt bored, and she waved her hand at Lu Yunjing: "Okay, then you go and face the saint, I have a sick number, care or something, just get your heart, don't be more entangled in form, this girl is tired." ”
An Jin smiled mischievously, Lu Yunjing smiled and shook his head, his eyebrows were full of doting, he nodded, and left the Lu family's mansion with his entourage and the palace people.
An Jin rolled on the bed a little bored, and was disturbed by Lu Yunjing like this, she was also sleepy, and wanted to get up and paint, but she was not inspired, and secondly, her body was still weak.
Just when she was bored, a maid suddenly came to report: "Miss An, Miss Zhou is here to visit." ”
Miss Zhou? Which Miss Zhou?
Just when An Jin looked confused, she caught a glimpse of the face that beckoned her to fall into the water yesterday through the crack in the window, and An Jin was taken aback: That woman's surname is Zhou?
wanted to refuse, but the person had already walked to the door of her room, and An Jin couldn't help but complain in his heart: "What kind of maid is this, can't you notify me earlier?" What's the use of people coming to my door and telling me? Don't give any time to prepare, how can there be such a guy. ”
Helpless, An Jin could only sit up strongly, sat on the side of the bed wrapped in the quilt and said, "Miss Zhou, which gust of wind blew you over?" ”
Zhou Xiyue smiled: "Miss An, I'm here to compensate you, I'm not here." ”
An Jin raised his eyebrows: "Isn't it compensation?" ”
Zhou Xiyue smiled and took the food from Bai Ling's hand and put it on the table in front of An Jin: "Yes, Sister An, the little girl was unhappy yesterday, and she collided with Sister An when she met, and it caused you to fall into the water and catch the cold, thinking about it afterwards, the little sister really shouldn't be like this." ”
She pointed to the food on the table: "This is the black chicken soup that the little girl personally cooked for you this morning, this is not specially sent to you to replenish your body." ”
Seeing that people came to apologize, An Jin didn't want to show her face, the so-called reaching out and not smiling people's faces, smiled and said a few polite words to Zhou Xiyue, Zhou Xiyue put down the food box and turned to leave.
After going out, Zhou Xiyue saw that there was an unknown maid at the door cleaning up the yard, her heart tightened, and she took out a hairpin from her arms and walked over and stuffed it into the maid's hand: "Listen, I haven't been here today, you know?" ”
The maid was a little stunned, and Zhou Xiyue said impatiently: "Where are there so many questions, what I say is what it is, do you agree?" ”
The maid nodded hurriedly, the hairpin was expensive, and the pie in the sky should not be in vain.
Sitting on the frame of the home, Zhou Xiyue couldn't help but chuckle out loud when she thought of An Jin's embarrassed appearance after drinking the black chicken soup she had added.
Dare to go against Miss Ben, this is the end!
It's also a shame that Miss Ben has good intentions and didn't poison you, but just added some laxatives and medicines, otherwise you might have died at this time.
Although she hates An Jin very much, in the final analysis, Zhou Xiyue is just a pampered rich lady, and she still can't do such a thing as killing people with her own hands.
After Zhou Xiyue left, An Jin opened the food box and smelled the tempting aroma, she couldn't help but move her index fingers, because of Lu Yunjing's visit in the morning, she didn't eat anything for breakfast, and An Jin was really hungry at this time.
While drinking chicken soup, An Jin corrected some of his senses about Zhou Xiyue in his heart: It doesn't look like this guy is too bad.
Drinking and drinking, suddenly there was a colic in An Jin's abdomen, and her already weak body was even more unbearable, so she waved her hand to help her go to the thatched house.
The emperor summoned Lu Yunjing over, commended him for his deeds in the matter of the governor some time ago, gave him some rewards and let him go home.
On the way, Lu Yunjing bought some hot food to take home, but saw that the maid in the house was a little flustered, a trace of displeasure flashed between his eyebrows, and he waved his hand and beckoned someone to ask, "What's wrong?" Why are you so panicked? ”
Seeing that it was his own master's questioning, the man didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and hurriedly told Zhou Xiyue's visit and Anjin's diarrhea one by one.
Lu Yunjing frowned, Zhou Xiyue actually drugged An Jin?
An Jin, who had diarrhea, collapsed on the bed, drinking the bitter decoction prescribed by the doctor, and now she also figured out what was going on.
It's a shame that this girl still has a good impression of you, Zhou Xiyue, you turned out to be a smiling tiger?!
An Jin was ashamed and indignant in her heart at this time, her weak body was even more unbearable by such a toss, and in a trance, she seemed to see the scene where Lu Yunjing beat Zhou Mansion for herself, and hung Zhou Xiyue's woman up to punish her wantonly.
She chuckled inwardly, and finally fell into a deep sleep under the effects of the medicine.
Looking at her somewhat tired face, Lu Yunjing felt a little distressed in his heart, he sent the doctor a consultation fee, and then asked again, "Will she be okay when she wakes up?" ”
The kind old doctor stroked his beard and smiled slightly: "General Lu, don't you still believe the old man, don't worry, Miss An only needs to recuperate a little, pay attention to her diet, drink a pair of medicines I prescribed every day, and within seven days, the old man will ensure that she recovers as before." ”
Seeing off the doctor, Lu Yunjing turned around with frost on his face, and he waved his hand to beckon the housekeeper: "Call me the maids who served Miss An before!" ”
Calling those people to his side, Lu Yunjing shouted, "How did you serve Miss An?" Didn't I say that she should be cared for according to the standard of service to me? ”
"You don't check what you eat? This is just a laxative, if it is a deadly poison, Miss An will almost return to Jiuquan, you know! ”
Lu Yunjing was furious in his heart, and he smashed the table with a fist, how could those maids who were used to seeing the smiling faces of their generals have seen such scenes, they knelt on the ground and did not dare to speak.
Lu Yunjing was angry and walked back and forth in the room: "Say! What did she do here? ”
The little maid who was cleaning up the garden hesitated for a while, raised her head and said timidly: "General Bao, Miss Zhou, for some reason, she told the maid not to tell her about her visit before leaving the room." ”
Lu Yunjing stood still in front of her, his eyes like a sword: "Is she really doing this?" ”
The maid was startled, and was about to cry under Lu Yunjing's compelling momentum: "Yes, yes, Miss Zhou, she did say that, and she also gave the maid a hairpin." ”
As she spoke, she took out the hairpin from her sleeve and presented it to Lu Yunjing, looking at the Zhou character branded on the tail of the hairpin, Lu Yunjing was even more sure of the guess in her heart.
He reached out and took the hairpin from the maid's hand and beckoned to the housekeeper: "From today on, she doesn't have to work in the Lu family, I don't want to see her in the capital again." ”
The butler answered, and came forward, ignoring the maid's cries, and brutally dragged her away.
After the housekeeper went out, Lu Yunjing said coldly to the rest of the people: "I have long said that no matter what, you must not accept bribes from outsiders, in all fairness, when has my Lu family treated you badly, all the maids in Kyoto are the highest, and even the palace maids are a lot worse than you!" ”
"If I know someone has violated the rules, she will be your end!"
