Chapter 254: Outbreak of Plague (1)
Leng Xiao dodged sideways, but unexpectedly, Wen'er still had a short dagger hidden in her left hand, Leng Xiao only cared about dodging her palm, but did not pay attention to the position of the dagger, and Wen'er came up behind and held her neck with a dagger.
"You're definitely not an ordinary girl!" Leng Xiao said in a deep voice.
Wen'er looked at him and said, "Brother Leng, it's the first time I've been so close to you, but I didn't expect it to be in this situation!" It's kind of ironic. ”
Leng Xiao closed his eyes, "Now that I am your subordinate, I will kill you and listen to your respect." ”
When Wen'er heard this, she smiled slightly, and the dagger in her hand went a little deeper into her neck, and it was pressed against Leng Xiao's flesh.
"Brother Leng, how can I be willing to let you die, as long as you promise me that I will never see that stinky girl again in the future, I will let you go."
There was not a trace of wave on Leng Xiao's face, "Impossible!" ”
Wen'er was furious, the strength in her hand increased a little, and the dagger was so sharp that it faintly cut Leng Xiao's neck and oozing blood.
"Brother Leng, would you rather die yourself than see that girl?"
Wen'er's voice trembled, with a hint of pleading.
Leng Xiao closed his eyes, "Yes." ”
Such a firm word made Wen'er's heart, which had always been strong, shatter all of a sudden, she opened a pair of big eyes, and tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes, "Brother Leng, why...... Why can't you try to accept me? Even if you tell a lie to coax me, it's a pity that you don't even want to coax me......"
Wen'er said, the power in her hands weakened, and her hands quickly clicked a few acupoints on Leng Xiao's body.
Leng Xiao looked at her and said, "What do you want to do?" ”
Wen'er took the dagger, looked at Leng Xiao and said, "What I can't get, I won't let others get!" ”
As she spoke, Wen'er turned around, "I'm going to kill that slut!" ”
Leng Xiao was shocked, "Stop!" ”
Wen'er turned her head, looked at Leng Xiao's eager face, and said with tears in her eyes: "Brother Leng, every time I see you, you are cold and unfazed, but this time the panic is actually for other women." ”
Leng Xiao's lips trembled, "If you kill her, I will kill you too, and I will hate you for the rest of my life!" ”
Wen'er heard this, she couldn't support it, the moonlight outside the window spilled in, lonely and cold, Wen'er stood in front of the table, held the table with one hand, raised her head and looked at Leng Xiao quietly, "Brother Leng, you are so ruthless, do you know, my heart hurts so much, it hurts to die, it hurts to go crazy......"
She shouted hysterically, lowered her head, and her tears slipped down like beads of broken thread, drop by drop, on the table in front of her, forming a puddle of water.
After a long time, Wen'er straightened up and said with a calm face: "Brother Leng, I know that you are extraordinary, what if I can help you achieve your wishes?" Are you willing to accept me? ”
Leng Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then there was murder in his eyes, "What do you know?" ”
Wen'er smiled, "You don't have to worry, I didn't investigate you, it's just that I pay more attention to you than others, so I can see your purpose, Brother Leng, Ming people don't say secret words, if you are willing to accept me, I will bring you one-third of the soldiers and horses of the Western Regions." ”
As soon as these words came out, Leng Xiao was shocked, and he hurriedly asked, "Who are you?" ”
Wen'er smiled, stepped forward and said a few words in Leng Xiao's ear, Leng Xiao was shocked, "How is it possible?" ”
Wen'er smiled lightly, "It's impossible for Brother Leng to know it as soon as he tries it." ”
Leng Xiao looked at Wen'er's confident appearance, knowing that what Wen'er said was true, in addition to being shocked, he also had some expectations in his heart.
Seeing Leng Xiao's silent appearance, Wen'er knew that he had believed his words, pursed her lips and smiled: "Brother Leng, don't rush to give me an answer, I'll give you three days to think about it." ”
After saying that, Wen'er turned around and walked out.
Leng Xiao was stunned in place, he was stunned to think about what Wen'er had told him just now, what flashed in front of him was Jiu'er's face, he remembered the first time the two met, by the pond of the Xiangfu, the second time, on the dark street, and the third time, in the backyard of the palace...... Leng Xiao recalled scene by scene, and seemed to be able to remember the weather and temperature at that time, he had seen many women, as beautiful as Meng Xianya, witty as Zheng Hanxiu, and as beautiful as Xia Mengning, but there was no woman like her.
Her body is thin and small, but her eyes are wet and cute, and there is always a smile on her white jade-like face, and even the upturned little nose bridge is indescribably cute.
Leng Xiao closed his eyes, thinking back to every scene where he and Jiu'er met, and involuntarily, a smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
When I opened my eyes, I was faced with the world in front of me, my mother's advice before she died, and my belief that I had endured humiliation and secretly lived for so many years, and now as long as I nodded, I could get it at my fingertips, Leng Xiao was entangled, and even ignored the body that the acupuncture points had been automatically unlocked, and he was still standing motionless.
The next day, Meng Xianya arrived at the bedroom of the eldest grandson Zhi early, the eldest grandson Zhi had just gotten up and was being served and dressed by the maid, and was a little surprised when she saw Meng Xianya coming, "Why are you here?" ”
Meng Xianya smiled lightly, with the style of everyone's ladies, "The concubine thought that she hadn't seen the prince for many days, so she came early today and wanted to serve the prince." ”
The eldest grandson said lightly, "No need, this king still has to discuss important matters with Yun'er today, and I don't have time to accompany you, so you can step back first." ”
When Meng Xianya heard this, she secretly said that she had come at the right time, so she couldn't help but step forward with a smile, stretched out her hand and took the coat from the maid on the side to put it on for the eldest grandson, and said, "Serve the prince as a concubine." ”
The eldest grandson didn't make a sound, and let Meng Xianya dress him, and at the end, Meng Xianya said again: "Lord, the concubine hasn't seen the prince for several days, I'm afraid the princess is still angry with the concubine in the last few things, so the concubine will accompany the prince today." ”
Changsun Zhi thought about it, but still nodded and said, "Okay." ”
The two had breakfast together, and then set off to find Changsun Yun.
Eldest Sun Yun was reading at the table, preparing to go to the prison to pick up Xia Mengning from prison in a while, and now seeing that Eldest Sun Zhi and Meng Xianya came together, he stood up with some surprise and said, "I have seen my father, the side concubine." ”
The eldest grandson stopped: "Yun'er, I'm here to discuss with you about yesterday's court affairs. ”
Eldest Sun Yun nodded, the two walked to the chair on the side and sat down, the maid brought tea, Meng Xianya hurriedly said, "I'll come!" ”
As he spoke, he took the tea tray and turned his back to pour the tea.
Eldest Sun Yun looked at Meng Xianya's back, and a ghostly light was hidden in the corner of her eyes.
After pouring the tea, Meng Xianya walked over with it and said, "The prince, please use tea, the prince please use tea!" ”
The eldest grandson reached out and took the teacup, and said, "You go down first, I have something to discuss with Yun'er." ”
Meng Xianya nodded respectfully, turned around and retreated.
Walking out of the house, Meng Xianya did not leave, but waited outside the house, observing the movements of the eldest grandson.
After a while, the eldest grandson walked out, saw Meng Xianya, and said with some surprise: "Why are you still here?" ”
Meng Xianya was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "The concubine hasn't had time to leave yet...... Lord Wang, why did you come out so quickly? ”
The eldest grandson didn't care, and said, "Yun'er Xu is tired, and after drinking a few sips of tea, she shouted that she had a headache and went to sleep in the bedroom." ”
Meng Xianya was secretly happy and said, "Then the concubine will accompany the prince back." ”
On the streets of the capital, the morning is the lively time, the door of the Jiancun Pavilion that was popular all over the capital in the past has lost the scenery of the past, the door is deserted and no one patronizes, the original lacquered door is also tightly closed, and an old man who looks like a beggar is squatting at the door, is taking a nap with his head down.
At this moment, two middle-aged people walked over, a man and a woman supporting each other, seemingly a couple.
The two walked to the door of the Jiancun Pavilion, looked at the big plaque on their heads and sighed, the man looked at it, turned his head and asked the beggar who was napping on the side, "This Jiancun Pavilion, is it not open?" ”
The beggar raised his eyelids and pouted, "Who knows, anyway, I haven't seen the door open for several days, what are you here for?" ”
When the man heard this, he looked at the middle-aged woman beside him with an embarrassed face, and the beggar saw it, and had some gossip psychology, and hurriedly said, "You won't be here to heal, tsk...... Who doesn't know now, the medicine sold in this Jiancun Pavilion is poisonous, otherwise why would it be closed, if it weren't for the Prime Minister's Mansion after his death, it would have been demolished long ago, I heard that this shopkeeper, that is, the lord of Hehe, has been put in prison, and the court will be tried today. ”
When the two couples heard this, the expressions on their faces became more solemn, and at this moment, the woman's body next to the man trembled, and then she rolled her eyes and fell to the ground.
The middle-aged man was startled, hurriedly held the woman's body, and shouted loudly, "Lady, mother, what's wrong with you......"
For a while, the cry for help attracted a lot of people, and the woman fell to the ground, her body was still twitching, and after a while, she foamed at the mouth and lost her voice.
The people around were shocked, and they were all shocked when they saw the woman's death, and the man was heartbroken and kept crying, "Lady, lady, wake up......"
There were bold people around who couldn't help but step forward and said, "What kind of disease does your lady have, why is her death so ugly?" ”
The man cried and said: "My lady was just weak at first, because our husband and wife wanted children, so they came to the Jiancun Pavilion for diagnosis and treatment, and wanted to give the lady medicinal food to make up for the body, but I didn't expect it to be good at the beginning, but then my lady gradually fell ill, her face has been bad, and she has been having a low-grade fever, we are from Shili Village on the outskirts of Beijing, today I came to the shopkeeper of this Jiancun Pavilion to ask for an explanation, I didn't expect this Jiancun Pavilion to be closed, my lady she ......"
Speaking of this, the man lowered his head again and hugged the woman's body, crying bitterly.
There was a problem with the medicinal materials of the Jiancun Pavilion, and Xia Mengning was already known because of the alleged murder, and now that he saw a living example in front of him, everyone was shocked and couldn't help but turn their heads and ears.
At this moment, an old man walked out of the crowd and came to the man, and said, "Below is the doctor of this Baoren Hall in the capital, I don't know if the old man can come to treat this lady." ”
When the man saw the old man's appearance, he said reassuringly, "Thank you, old man." ”
The old man squatted down, stretched out his hand to check the woman's pulse, and then stretched out his hand to check the man's pulse as well, and said with a shocked face: "How long has your lady's low-grade fever lasted?" ”
The man hurriedly said, "It seems like it's been three or four days......"
The old man's face was shocked, "If the old man didn't diagnose it wrong, your lady was infected with the plague......"
As soon as this sentence was spoken, it exploded in the crowd almost like a thunderbolt, and everyone changed color and hurriedly retreated.
When the man saw this, he couldn't help but be furious, "Old man, why do you say this, is it possible that you have evidence?" ”
The old man nodded, "Young man, you don't have to worry, the old man has been practicing medicine all his life, how can he diagnose it wrong, according to the old man, you must have been infected with the plague, have you often had a dry tongue, sweating, weak limbs, and an irritable temper these days?" ”
The man was shocked, took a few steps back, and finally couldn't help but fall to the ground, the symptoms that the old man said were all right, could it be that he had already contracted the plague?
After saying this, someone in the crowd quickly said, "Oh my God, I have this symptom too." ”
One after another, many people echoed, and the old man said, "What have you all been in contact with?" ”
Those people, you look at me, I look at you, they all shook their heads, and suddenly, the man on the ground said, "Could it be the medicinal food of this Jiancun Pavilion?" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but echo them, and the old man was shocked, "Oh my God, could it be that there is a source of plague in the medicinal diet of this Jiancun Pavilion, so it's too bad, the whole capital will be infected with the plague." ”
