In the middle of the night, the girl who was sleeping suddenly opened her eyes, and her eyes were a little brighter than the day in the night. By the candlelight that came through the veil, she carefully looked at the person lying beside her, wanting to reach out and rub his face, but she was afraid that she would accidentally wake him up from his light sleep.

The corners of the girl's lips curled high, and she muttered to herself: "How can there be a man as good-looking as you in the world......"

At this moment, there was a noise outside the house, and then Xiangyun's anxious voice came inside: "Miss, something happened, Sister Bilong is not good!" ”

Bai Muguan sat up when he heard the sound, hurriedly lifted the veil and put on his shoes to get out of bed, walked out of the room quickly, and raised his eyes to Xiangyun's anxious and frightened face.

Looking at Xiangyun with messy hair and running in bedclothes, an ominous premonition rose in Bai Muguan's heart, and he cheered up and asked, "What happened?" ”

Xiangyun cried as she spoke: "Sister Bilong has a high fever, her body is covered with red rashes, and she is short of breath and difficult. ”

Bai Muguan's heart sank, and then he reprimanded Xiangyun softly: "Wipe away your tears, you are the maid who grew up with me in the military camp." Now how can he cry at every turn, looking like he has never seen the world. ”

Xiangyun hurriedly raised his sleeve to wipe the corners of his eyes, forcibly held back all his tears, and turned around to guide his young lady. Today, Yu Wenye stayed in Qingyun Pavilion and didn't leave, and no one dared to speak out without anyone on duty at night. Tomorrow they will go out again, and she and Bilong live together in the west side hall and rest early. In the middle of the night, Xiangyun felt thirsty, and when he got up to drink water, he found that Bi Long was not quite right, and he took a closer look at the lamp and scared the six gods.

At this time, many maids gathered outside the west side hall whispered, and when they saw Bai Muguan coming, they all bowed and retreated to the side.

"In the middle of the night, you all go back to your room to rest, you don't have to stay here." As soon as Bai Muguan said this, they were happy to go back to their rooms to sleep.

Xiangyun is the personal maid brought by Bai Muguan from Mobei, while Bilong is the maid in charge of Qingyun Pavilion. The two of them were of a higher rank than the other maids, and were entitled to live in a room with them closest to the main hall. Bai Muguan stepped over the threshold and entered, and could hear Bi Long's muffled snort in pain from a distance, and when she looked closer, she found that her whole person was as delirious as a nightmare, her limbs twitched a few times from time to time, her face was flushed and slightly purple, and her forehead was drenched in cold sweat.

"Look, Miss." Saying that, Xiangyun rolled up Bilong's sleeves, and her fair skin was covered with dotted red rashes, which was shocking.

Bai Muguan's eyes flashed slightly, and he commanded in a low voice: "You go out of the house immediately to ask for a doctor, remember not to be silent, if anyone asks, say that I am not feeling well." ”

Xiangyun hurriedly took the order and left.

A voice suddenly came from behind him, which was neither familiar nor unfamiliar: "Miss, the slave maid looks at Sister Bilong as if she has the epidemic, and it is a bit like poisoning, in short, it is not an ordinary disease." ”

Bai Muguan looked sideways and saw Chunyue's thin figure standing not far away, holding a few utensils in his hands. Bi Long was still a good person last night, but she suddenly became sick like this in the middle of the night, and no one thought it was strange.

"What's in your hand?"

Chunyue explained: "These are all the things that Sister Bilong used during the day, and I didn't have time to clean up after a lot of things yesterday, so the slave and maid hurriedly brought them, and the doctor will check them later." ”

Bai Muguan put away his sharp eyes and showed a touch of approval, and praised: "You are a girl with a heart." ”

Chunyue, who was praised, lowered her eyebrows and smiled, gradually gaining courage, and then said: "The slave maid heard that there was a sudden epidemic in the capital two days ago, and the old lady of the Duke of Wei was infected with the epidemic. There are also people among the people who are unfortunately infected, in case Sister Bilong really gets the epidemic, she will be infected. ”

The implication is to remind Bai Muguan to stay away from Bilong's bed.

"The symptoms are indeed similar to those of the pandemic, but I always feel that it is not that simple." The girl fell into deep thought, trying to remember what had been wrong yesterday.

During the epidemic, her eldest aunt Jin was suffering from the epidemic, and the sickbed lingered until Bai Mingnuan entered the palace and was favored. Because Bai Mingnuan begged the emperor to send an imperial doctor to take care of him, it is said that he was able to barely stay and walk.

Xiangyun was quick with his hands and feet, and soon quietly invited a doctor, none other than Dr. Zhu of Miaoshou Pavilion.

Dr. Zhu's medical skills have become famous in the capital, he briefly investigated Bilong's situation, and after a while, he came to the conclusion: "This girl is not sick, but poisoned!" ”

Bai Muguan and Xiangyun looked at each other and said in unison: "Poisoned? ”

Doctor Zhu stroked his beard and was confident: "It is caused by poisoning." Can I see what the girl ate and used yesterday? ”

Chunyue handed over those utensils, and Xiangyun was thoughtful: "Bi Long and I ate at the same table and slept in the same room, if she was poisoned, why should I be so decent?" ”

Dr. Zhu picked them up one by one and screened them, either sniffed them with his nose or checked them with a silver needle, and finally shook his head solemnly: "There is nothing wrong with these things. ”

Bai Muwandai's eyebrows frowned even tighter, and asked Xiangyun and Chunyue in a deep voice: "You think about it carefully, Bilong has ever touched something yesterday, which no one else has touched." Or what unsolicited food you ate? ”

Xiangyun only felt that his head was dizzy, although he was completely sleepy, it was not as good as waking up during the day. On the contrary, it is the usually silent spring moon, which is once again impressive. She rushed out of the house with a sullen head, and trotted back back with a cup of tea. When he came back, he brought a Shu brocade cloak from a sandalwood tray.

"This cloak was sent by Tong Liangdi last night, and Sister Bilong carefully checked it for a long time to make sure it was correct before ordering the slave to put it away." After that, Chunyue handed the folded cloak to Dr. Zhu, and the dark fragrance emitted by the cloak burst into her nose.

Dr. Zhu had already noticed something unusual, and his movements were extremely cautious, and he was extremely cautious when turning his cloak. After carefully studying it for a long time, he finally stopped his gaze on the collar of the cloak, and his face changed suddenly.

Bai Muguan walked over slowly, Dai Mei unexpectedly stretched, and even had a weird smile on his face: "It's the problem with this cloak." ”

Doctor Zhu didn't dare to look at her, so he hurriedly arched his hand and replied cautiously: "Miss Bai guessed right, the inside of the neckline of this cloak was smedicated with medicinal powder, and incense was used to cover up the smell of medicine, so it was difficult to detect. If it is not deliberately examined, ordinary doctors will not be able to distinguish anything unusual at all. If a person's skin is stained with this powder, it will cause febrile convulsions and a red rash all over the body after an hour or two. It seems to be like a time epidemic and not a time epidemic, if it is treated with a time epidemic, it is difficult to be effective, as we all know that if a high fever does not go away for seven days, it is easy to burn out the brain. ”

"What a vicious strategy!" Bai Muguan smiled coldly.

Xiangyun was so angry that her mouth was about to crooked: "No wonder I listened to the person who sent me to tell me to put on it tomorrow, the vicious Tong Liangdi is too hateful!" ”

Bi Long just touched it to become like this, if Bai Muguan really put on this Shu brocade cloak tomorrow, can you imagine what the consequences are? The most terrifying thing is that the symptoms of poisoning are very similar to the epidemic, if you are delayed by a doctor who is not skilled in medical skills, the delay in the disease will be due to the continuous high fever and even death.

Bai Muguan's expression changed, and then he explained to Dr. Zhu seriously: "Doctor Zhu, please prescribe a prescription for Bilong, don't be stingy with medicine, but you must cure her." ”

Doctor Zhu hurriedly responded.

"Without further ado, you can heal her, and if you have any needs, just tell Chunyue." After giving the order, the girl made a look and motioned for Xiangyun to come out with her to speak.

Xiangyun held the tray with both hands, and glared at her angry eyes: "Miss, this is physical evidence, I must give you an explanation tomorrow!" Miss has no grievances with her, she actually dares to harm Miss, she is really an unreasonable poisonous woman. ”

In contrast, Bai Muguan was completely calm, and said lightly: "How can I have no grievances with her?" Our greatest enmity sleeps in that room. ”

No one needs to say that she knows it, Tong Yao must have harmed her out of jealousy.

Look at this gorgeous and dazzling Shu brocade fabric, which carefully outlines the peony pattern with gold threads, and every stitch and thread condenses the painstaking efforts of the embroiderer, but it is a pity that such a good thing is used by people to become a weapon to harm people.

Bai Muguan's face under the moonlight seemed to be coated with a layer of clear light, and she was silent for a long time, weighing the pros and cons, and finally chose to forbear: "Tomorrow morning, you will send this cloak back untouched, and by the way, tell Tong Liangdi, such a despicable trick will not be used again next time to embarrass people." If she is smart enough, she will naturally settle down in the future, otherwise I will shake off this handle at any time. ”

Xiangyun was so anxious that she stomped her feet: "She harms Miss so much, Miss can't settle things and make compromises!" ”

The girl raised her face, narrowed her eyes and asked in a loud voice, "Then what do you want?" Make this matter known to the whole world? Or go to your majesty and the queen to ask for an explanation? With this cloak that has handled so many people, do you expect His Majesty to punish her for this? And she is now the crown prince Liangdi, it is not only her who will make a big mess and lose face, but also damage His Royal Highness's face! ”

Xiangyun closed his mouth and quickly reacted. Tong Yao was born in the illustrious Cheng'en Mansion, Queen Tong is her own aunt, if this matter is big, she only needs to resist death and not admit it. After all, except for the medicinal powder on this cloak, they had no evidence, and no one had seen Tong Yao do anything on the cloak with their own eyes. If you don't do it, you will be beaten upside down by Tong Yao, and in turn accuse Bai Muguan of framing him.

"The slave will do as the young lady says."

Bai Muguan sighed, gently stroked the back of Xiangyun's hand, and said, "I know that you are dedicated to me, but you can't be reckless in everything, tomorrow you will go to Furong Pavilion and then go to Qiushui Pavilion, and tell your sister what happened." My sister is kind-hearted, and she can't think more than Tong Liangdi, so you have to remind your sister to be careful. ”

Xiangyun's jaw head should all be lowered.

At this moment, Bai Muguan became more and more sober-minded, and he was completely tired tonight. Until someone hugged her from behind, two large, bony hands were wrapped around her chest.

The girl laughed silently, turned her face slightly sideways and asked, "When was Your Highness woken up?" ”

He buried his face deep in the tips of her neck, the warm breath stained the roots of her ears, and he said unhurriedly, "You think you're the only one who can't sleep tonight?" I haven't slept either. ”

The corners of Bai Muguan's lips were even more curved, and he couldn't help but joke: "It seems that His Highness doesn't like to share a bed with me." ”

Yu Wenye pecked at her powder, and seemed to be smiling: "You are not ashamed, I am not in a hurry to surrender to you in the future!" ”

The girl pursed her cherry red mouth, looking shy and cute.

Breaking free from his embrace, she stared at him intently, a gentle smile overflowing her eyes swept away the unhappy emotions, and said slowly: "Since you didn't fall asleep, we tossed so much movement before, you must know what is going on." Do you think it's appropriate for me to do this tonight? ”

"Tong Liangdi's mind is so vicious, fortunately you didn't touch that dirty thing, Guanguan made you feel wronged." Yu Wenye paused and said, "Tomorrow morning, we will leave the capital, so that we can be out of sight and out of mind for a while." ”

At this moment, she didn't notice the fluctuation of killing intent in his eyes.

"There are more things to worry about tomorrow, but I have never been to the picturesque Jiangnan, so I am still looking forward to it. I especially look forward to going with you. Her hope was overflowing, and she whispered like a coquette.

Yu Wenye waved his long arm and picked her up steadily, and said with a warm smile: "It's not good to stay outside the house for a long time in the middle of the night, if you don't raise your spirit tonight, how will you start tomorrow." ”

Carried the girl's soft delicate body back to the inner room and placed it on the bed, covered her with the quilt, put down the bed curtain and extinguished the candlelight. was about to leave, and she grabbed her wrist in the dark, followed by a glutinous girlish voice: "Where are you going?" ”

He sighed helplessly: "I'll go back to the study and sleep." Otherwise, if I am seen going out of Qingyun Pavilion tomorrow morning, it will damage your reputation. ”

Through a thin layer of veil, he couldn't really see the smile on Bai Muguan's face, and he could only hear her carefully advise: "Then you put on your clothes and leave, don't catch the cold and get cold." ”

Yu Wenye responded with a smile. When he stepped out of Qingyun Pavilion, his thin lips were tightly pursed, his smile was gone, and the turbulent waves in his eyes were constantly surging.

Half an hour later, in the study, he clenched his fists and said: "Please punish Your Highness, my subordinates are incompetent and have not found out Zheng Yuan's mastermind behind the scenes." This woman is like a dead soldier, and her surname is all forged, which is really tricky. ”

Under the candlelight, Yu Wenye's handsome face was cold and abnormal, and he ignored it indifferently: "A mere woman, you can't underestimate her, and you don't need to take it too seriously." What is the movement of Yu Wencheng and the Xiao family? ”

Wu Yi replied truthfully: "The eldest prince has been very peaceful recently, like the calm before the storm, which is very strange. The Xiao family has been in frequent contact with Qin Tianjian recently, and they have secretly corresponded in private, which is quite hidden. ”

"If I don't ask myself to leave Beijing, they really have a plan to wait."

Empress Dowager Xiao's original idea was seen through by Yu Wenye, and she was a little surprised that the old witch was actually related to Qin Tianjian. Is the son of Xiangrui, born to Concubine Li a few years ago, also controlled by Empress Dowager Xiao?

It's just enough to support the sixth prince Yu Wenjin clearly, and secretly want to make a mysterious trick to make the eighth prince and him "Ye Hui mirror", really damn it!

Wuyi's face was solemn, and he asked for instructions: "Your Highness, can you take precautions?" ”

Yu Wenye's eyebrows were covered in gloom, and he sneered and asked, "You say, which of them will strike first next?" ”

"My subordinates don't know."

It doesn't hurt to know, wait and see.

The handsome and innocent person suddenly turned into a life-seeking Yama at this moment, and ordered lightly: "Tong Yao, that poisonous woman dares to harm my Guanguan, no matter what method you use to make her die quietly." Anyway, I don't want to see her again when I return to Beijing! ”

"No, Your Highness! The queen mother in the palace and the Chengen Mansion are not easy to explain...... "Wu was interrupted before the words fell.

"So if you want her to die peacefully, it's best not to let people notice anything unusual, and don't cause trouble."

Yu Wenye's implication, of course, Wu Yi can understand it. Die peacefully, which means that you can't die suddenly, and you want to let Tong Yao die slowly as expected. The best way is to "die of illness", anyway, there will be a few people who inexplicably "die of illness" every year in the house and even in the palace.

In the final analysis, Tong Yao's mind is vicious, and he will harm people first tonight, and it is not a pity to die in the future.
