Chapter 277: Forbearance
Updated: >
There was a "creak" sound, and the iron door slowly opened.
"Miss Lin San, how did you sleep last night~" The person has not yet fully appeared, but the goosebumps that are enough to make Xiao Ruo fall to the ground have all risen, if she needs such a cooling in the summer, she is afraid that she will be willing to die of heat.
The person outside the door gradually showed his figure, still wearing the same white and flawless robe, with only a cyan as the bottom at the waist, embroidered with a delicately embroidered belt, if there was no peony in full bloom at the cuffs and hem, maybe this feather fan boy looked more like a beautiful man, but now, it would only make people feel nondescript.
Xiao Ruo sneered, and even stood up, just because she didn't want to show weakness in front of such a person: "I didn't have a dream all night, but when I woke up, I saw your appearance of neither a man nor a woman, and I almost vomited all the undigested lunch yesterday." ”
The coquettish smile on the face of the feather fan boy suddenly stopped, and the anger on his face was about to be vented, but he suddenly fanned the feather fan quite leisurely, and said: "Giggles~ The slave family is not angry, but if he is angry, he will have wrinkles, and the slave doesn't like to say this." After a pause, the feather fan's eyes suddenly turned, took a step into the cell, clapped his hands towards the door, and said, "Come in." The slave family has specially prepared a meal for you, and you should like it. Giggle~" The former was said to the people outside the door, and the latter sentence was naturally said to Xiao Ruo.
When Xiao Ruo raised his eyes to look at the door, he saw a pink figure walking in. The delicate and slightly curved eyebrows of the distant mountain, the eyes that were always timid, have now become dull and lifeless.
Xiao Ruo's hands were clenched into fists, if she hadn't seen her brother yesterday, she might have been glad at the moment, glad that Qianrou was still alive, just like she suddenly saw her brother yesterday and was glad that her brother was still alive.
The nails on the five fingers of the clenched fist had been inserted into the tender flesh of the palm, and the pain that should have been a cone still couldn't contain her uncompetitive tears. It's just that it finally stayed in the eye socket for a moment before rolling down without reservation.
"Giggles, Miss Lin San saw that her former friend Miss Qianrou was too excited, so she was a little forgetful of her happiness" The feather fan boy seemed to enjoy Xiao Ruo's expression now, and said quite happily when he spoke.
Seeing that Xiao Ruo still didn't answer, the feather fan boy turned around and waved the feather fan in his hand to Wu Qianrou and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, I should talk about wine, and I don't want to serve your Mengyu sister well."
Wu Qianrou held a tray in her hand, which was Xiaoruo's lunch today. I saw him walk towards Xiao Ruo step by step, put the tray on the ground, and then knelt opposite Xiao Ruo, and then selected the dishes on the plate and sandwiched them into the rice bowl.
Xiao Ruo didn't know why she sat down so obediently, but when she saw Wu Qianrou kneeling opposite her, she sat down a little involuntarily and looked at Wu Qianrou silently.
"Giggles~ Miss Lin San may not know, Miss Qianrou is really careful when she serves people. Thanks to Miss Lin San, otherwise the master would not have let the people of the Wu Mansion disappear overnight, and the slave family would not have such a slave who knows how to serve people. The feather fan boy seemed to feel that this situation was not exciting enough, and Xiao Ruo directly explained all the things here.
No wonder, no wonder when she first arrived in Kyoto and asked Yi Chu to inquire about the affairs of the Wu Mansion, everyone only knew that the Wu Mansion was nothing overnight, and countless people who had asked it did not know the reason, and she was still self-righteous at that time that Wu Zongbing noticed something, and then moved out of Kyoto with her family.
It's because of her, what did she do, if she didn't get close to Wu Zhirou that day, if she didn't recognize Qianrou that day, if she hadn't visited her every other day, then all this would not have happened
The fists at his side tightened and tightened, and countless thoughts of regret sprung up in Xiao Ruo's mind. She was wrong, if she hadn't been to this world, if she wasn't Miss Lin San at all, they would have lived better, at least better than now.
"Miss Lin San, are you still going to let Qianrou feed you," said the feather fan boy as he continued to add a handful of firewood to the fire.
Seeing that Qianrou really started to do it, Xiao Ruo immediately waved her hand and knocked over everything in the tray, stood up with tears on her face mixed with anger, and said: "If you want to kill me, you can kill me, why do you have to act like this, do you think that everyone likes to turn people into living puppets like you, and they still enjoy this group of people who have no thoughts serving themselves?"
Seeing Xiao Ruo's appearance, the smile on the face of the feather fan couldn't help but deepen, but the squinting eyes became like a poisonous snake: "The slave family wants to make you a living puppet more, and I want to come to a beauty like you who can also form formations, and there is really no giggle around the slave family~ It's a pity that you still have some use for the master, otherwise, when the master catches that Lan Yucheng, maybe the master will be willing to reward you to me, so that you can stay with your brother and this Miss Qianrou hahaha~." ”
If the sacrificial flag is still there, if the spar is still there, if she can still draw the formation, she really wants him to suffer in the fire for the rest of her life, Xiao Ruo has never hated a person so much, she can't wait to peel him off his skin and bones, and she can't wait to drink his blood and eat his flesh.
"Haha," looking at Xiao Ruo's appearance, the feather fan boy shook his head and said with a smile: "Since Miss Lin San doesn't want to use the lunch prepared by the slave family, that's it." I think the master will summon you soon" After speaking, he looked up to the sky and laughed with Qianrou as he walked towards the outside of the cell, and the iron door was closed again.
She is so weak, in the face of such a hateful person, she has nothing but forbearance, only forbearance. No matter how unwilling Xiao Ruo is in his heart, he can only do so. If she rushes forward desperately, she will only get more humiliation, and it will only make those people more happy.
At this moment, she would rather Xie Danniang give her some of the medicine prepared for her, so that she can be completely unconscious, even if she dies, at least she doesn't have to think about her brother, she doesn't have to think about Qianrou, she doesn't have to think about everything.
As the sun set, the door of the cell opened again, and the one who walked in was more like the master that the feather fan boy said, Lan Shikang.
"Miss Lin San, it's really like every three autumns if you don't see each other for a day, but a little official concubine has turned into a disciple of the old man on the rivers and lakes, and she has even learned his formation skills." Lan Shikang entered the cell, sat on the Luohan chair that the person who was waiting with him had just moved in, looked at Xiao Ruo sitting on the ground and said with a sneer.
This is the first time Xiao Ruo has looked at Lan Shikang so closely, and the first time he has looked at Lan Shikang so without any scruples. It's just that she can't understand why she keeps the same blood, but it is so different, she can be cruel enough to ignore everyone's lives, is it just for that throne
"How did you find out," Xiao Ruo asked with a cold look at Lan Shikang.
She has done so many things, and she has carefully thought about whether there is any loophole, but why is it that after so many days of silence, someone suddenly discovered her identity, what did she ignore
"How did you find out" Lan Shikang snorted, threw the envelope in his hand in front of Xiao Ruo, and said: "Then I should really thank my beloved concubine, if she hadn't sent someone to kill the palace maid's mother, I wouldn't have been able to get this thing, and I wouldn't have thought that you would even have the antidote." ”
In fact, it was only a matter of time before Lan Shikang got Xiao Ruo's letter. Just when Gonggong Zhang told him that there was a missing cleaning mother-in-law in the Lan Xiao Palace, it would be okay if it was someone else, but this person was the mother of the palace maid Le'er, which already made him a little suspicious. I don't know if Xie Danniang and Concubine Shu are too smart or too stupid, and when they sent someone to kill Le'er's mother, they didn't even remember Xiao Ruo's letter.
When the Praetorian Guards who searched all over the palace found the letter handed over, Lan Shikang realized that there was no antidote left under the dragon chair. Under the fury of the thunder, Lan Shikang sent people to torture and interrogate all the guards guarding the imperial study one by one, only to learn that on the day of the queen's death, the medical aunt next to the imperial concubine Niangniang actually entered the imperial study in front of the two janissaries.
The two Praetorian Guards naturally had no good results, but in the next second, Lan Shikang appeared in Xiao Ruo's room.
Xiao Ruo picked up the envelope on the ground, although she had already learned from Xie Danniang's mouth that Le'er's mother and daughter had been killed, just looking at this envelope, she still felt a pain in her heart. The letter in the envelope is still there, even the antidote. It's exactly the same as when she gave Le a child.
Lan Shikang stood up, walked in front of Xiao Ruo in a few steps, pinched Xiao Ruo's chin with his right hand, and said, "What about that jade box, there is an antidote?"
Xiao Ruo snorted at Lan Shikang and said, "Why, didn't the emperor let people search for it, maybe I will hide the jade box somewhere in the palace, maybe it is in the Feng Dynasty Palace, or it is in the Lan Xiao Palace, and the emperor will check it carefully." Xiao Ruo's face was full of mockery.
In fact, Xiao Ruo didn't know that as long as Qianfeng's antidote left the jade box for three hours, it would be completely ineffective, so the antidote in the envelope would appear in front of Xiao Ruo again.
Lan Shikang wanted the jade box and wanted the antidote, but he wanted to know even more if this thing had been sent out of the palace by Xiao Ruo, and whether this thing had already reached Lan Yucheng's hands.
