The capital is dry and cold in winter, and even Miss Jiao from a large family will not have to bathe every day. After all, taking too much of a shower will only make your skin drier, unless you apply emollient ointment all over your body after every bath.

But the weather is too cold, if the family's financial resources are not enough to build their own dragon, the temperature of the bathroom is not guaranteed. When the body is completely smeared, I am afraid that the girls of the main family will be frozen to death.

The layout of the Song family's small courtyard is too small, and the manpower is insufficient, so it is naturally impossible to do this.

Zhiwei Xijie, but also can only be bathed in a wooden basin once every day or two, only with hot water in the middle, intimate clothes are changed every day, never slack. Even so, Jiang Xue still felt that she was too wronged, and even vaguely mentioned the matter of changing to a big house.

Where did Zhiwei dare to respond, she could only push it under the pretext that she had agreed to meet her mother here.

On the eighth day of the lunar month, Zhiwei took the girls to cook in person, cooked a large pot of Laba porridge, boiled a large pot of water, and took a comfortable bath.

After washing, just as she was roasting her long hair that was half wet and not dry, Zhi Wei suddenly felt itchy on her body.

At first, she thought it was because she was too lazy to rub the skin on her back, and she was itching from being too dry because she was leaning on two large braziers. Zhiwei didn't care, thinking to herself, wait for her hair to dry and apply another ointment.

Unexpectedly, the itchy feeling actually spread, from the back to the arms, it seemed to be connected into a line.

Zhi Wei frowned, barely staying up until her hair was about to dry, and when she undressed, she was almost not frightened by her own eyes.

There were blood marks on the white back, and the arms were no exception!

She called Jinxiu in, and the latter was also shocked at the sight.

"What's going on? But what is unclean on the undershirt? ”

Jinxiu hurriedly tied Zhiwei to change out of other underwear, and wiped Zhiwei's upper body with a warm handkerchief, but the itch on Zhiwei's body did not decrease at all.

When Jiang Xue learned this, her face suddenly sank, and she looked around, but she didn't see Xiaoling's figure.

"What about Xiaoling? Where did the people go? ”

Wen Zhu said: "The girl just said that today is a holiday, and we will eat the pot together in the evening, and there are a few seasonings, and Xiaoling went to the East Market to buy it." ”

Jinxiu also confirmed this statement, but his face was a little hesitant.

"Fang Cai, I originally wanted to go out and buy it myself, but Xiaoling offered to help me, so I ......"

The two of them glanced at each other, and they both knew something in their hearts.

Since the day the steward came to the door, Xiaoling's assigned work has been difficult to get involved with the girl, and it is naturally impossible for her to do the work of washing and folding clothes. But the Song family's courtyard is too small, and the clothes are dried in the yard, and no one can stare at the clothes for twelve hours a day, and it is really possible for Xiaoling to do her hands and feet!

Jiang Xue didn't talk nonsense anymore, her eyes turned around on everyone in the courtyard, and then ordered Yan Qiao, who was silent next to her, to go out to ask for a doctor.

Seeing this, Wen Zhu didn't say anything, and silently walked to the side to choose vegetables.

As a result, until Yan Qiao brought the doctor back to the Song family's courtyard, Xiaoling did not come back.

Jiang Xue's face was very ugly.

The doctor who invited him couldn't find any clues from the shirt, and muttered that he couldn't diagnose the injury because he couldn't see the injury, so he only prescribed a topical ointment and patted his ass and left.

Zhiwei rubbed the ointment, and at first she did feel cool and cool, but after a while, it itched again.

Jiang Xue saw that she was uncomfortable, and immediately wanted to send a message back to the palace to invite a doctor or a medical woman to see her for her, but Zhiwei refused, and ordered her not to return to the matter with a straight face.

Not to mention that it was unruly, and she didn't think it was a big fuss. What's more, this problem is in the private part of the body, how can it be casually mentioned to the person in the palace?

As long as she thought of Huo Yanzhi's expression when she saw the content of this report, Zhi Wei was really embarrassed.

But as time passed, it was dark, Xiaoling was still nowhere to be seen, and Jiang Xue couldn't sit still at all.

"She must have done it! It is said that there is no thousand-day anti-thief, and sure enough, I stared at her like this every day, and she still got it! She said hatefully.

Jinxiu proposed, "Why don't you go to the yamen and say that someone is lost at home, and let the catcher help find it?" ”

Zhi Wei said calmly: "Since she escaped decisively after succeeding, most of the way back has already been prepared, and the yamen may not be able to find it." Only, according to the doctor, it doesn't look like some kind of poison, at least not fatal. She tried her best, she couldn't have been just trying to trick me! ”

"Does she have other plans? Could it be that the folk doctor is inexperienced and has never seen such methods? ”

Jiang Xue scrutinized in her mouth, her heart moved slightly, if it was the secret medicine powder flowing out of the palace, maybe she could really hide it from ordinary doctors, it seems that the imperial doctor in the palace is not safe, maybe the other party's back hand is in the imperial medicine bureau.

"In addition to these two people, are there other famous doctors in the capital?"

The two people Jiang Xue said were none other than Dr. Zhou invited this time, and the old doctor Wang who was invited to recuperate in Weihuangzhuang last time, both of them are famous, but it seems that their medical skills are not as famous as theirs.

Jinxiu stayed in the capital for the longest time, and when he heard this, he said: "The four major medicine halls in the city are the most famous and the two families of King Zhou are the most famous, and the consultation fee is also the most expensive. If it really doesn't work, you can also ask Chen Zhang and the two doctors to try it. ”

Wen Zhu interjected coldly: "The doctors are all men, and the girl's affected area is on the body, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to diagnose." Even if the two doctors Chen Zhang came, I am afraid it would be useless. ”

Jiang Xue frowned: "I'm afraid it's difficult to be accurate by relying on our dictation, and the blood marks on the girl's body seem to be spreading." Now it seems that I can only enter the palace and invite a medical woman......"

Yan Qiao hesitated and said timidly: "Actually, there is a female guy in Dr. Zhou's rejuvenation clinic who came in the morning, who seems to be Dr. Zhou's distant niece, who combed herself and did not marry, and learned some medical skills from Dr. Zhou. It's just that I see that she is just sorting medicinal herbs, and I don't know how much she can do......"

Jinxiu was pleasantly surprised: "That is the case, I went to invite her to come over overnight." ”

Jiang Xue hesitated a little, looked at the sky outside, and then looked at Zhi Wei's expression, so she had to agree.

But she secretly calculated in her heart that if the female doctor who came in a while had no good plan, she would have to send a letter to the palace early tomorrow morning. As for when His Majesty will see it and whether he will send someone out of the palace after seeing it, that is not up to her. Even if Zhiwei blames, she has nothing to say, who would dare not implement His Majesty's request!

Qin Mansion.

Mrs. Qin was dressed in plain clothes, and after getting off the carriage at the side door, she didn't say a word to Qin Zhongguang beside her.

Both husbands and wives came back from crying in the palace, tossing for a day, physically and mentally exhausted, and Qin Zhongguang didn't have the heart to appease his wife's strange emotions. In his opinion, this is all because of the sudden collapse of the queen. As long as his wife does not lose her mind, it is a trivial matter to disturb the chickens and dogs in the family, and to be disrespectful and indifferent to him.

As soon as she arrived at the second gate, Mrs. Qin saw Aunt Su in a white dress and weak willows supporting the wind, slim and slim in the cold wind, like a white magnolia.

Mrs. Qin didn't say anything, she sneered and left, Bai Yulan couldn't help the cold wind blowing in this wax moon.

Qin Zhongguang frowned and asked, "Why did you come here?" This ......"

He was about to say, "This is not in accordance with the rules", but Aunt Su turned her face slightly sideways, revealing a crying expression, and he couldn't bear to reprimand.

This Xiao Su is most like the woman in his memory is her side face, and the pair of eyes that want to cry or not.

"It's too cold this day, you're weak, what if you freeze?"

Aunt Su smiled flatteredly, "The concubine just wants to see Grandpa Guo as soon as possible." Grandpa Guo must be tired after entering the palace all day. The concubine body has already made people prepare a hot pot, just waiting for the grandfather of the country. ”

She gently and thoughtlessly waited for Qin Zhongguang to go to the side courtyard, the latter had an overheated dinner, and enjoyed a warm soup bath served by a beauty, although she couldn't really do anything, she was extremely satisfied.

But when she retreated, Aunt Su suddenly changed her face and knelt down in horror.

"Grandpa Guo, please save the life of the concubine, and save the life of the concubine's unsuccessful brother!"

In the past few months since Aunt Su entered the mansion, Qin Zhongguang has been extremely satisfied with her, and he has never pestered himself to ask for anything extraneous, even Su Dazhuang's brother was personally found by him to make a fuss, and in desperation, Aunt Su begged him for the only time.

Loving the house and Wu, Qin Zhongguang didn't want Su Dazhuang to have an accident, so he picked up the beauty and asked what happened.

But Aunt Su knelt dead and refused to get up, even if she had his promise, she didn't dare to relax in the slightest.

After hearing what she said, Qin Zhongguang's expression was solemn.

"What you say is true? Su Dazhuang didn't lie? ”

Aunt Su said with red eyes: "My brother is lazy, greedy for life and afraid of death, he has no advantages, but he is timid, so he can only do some small evils of stealing chickens and touching dogs, he doesn't dare to touch his hands in other things, how dare he fool Grandpa Guo in this kind of thing?" The creditor originally only asked him to pay off the gambling debt, but later changed his story and asked him to harm the girl. He felt strange, so he pretended to agree, and went to the outside of the mansion twice, but the more he looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and there seemed to be someone watching near the mansion,......"

Qin Zhongguang's tone was slightly cold: "Then how do you know that this matter is related to Madame?" ”

Aunt Su said timidly: "My brother didn't dare to harm that girl, for fear of offending someone else, so he came to find a concubine and ask for money to pay off gambling debts." But the concubine didn't have so much money, so she asked Mei Xiang to take some jewelry and clothes from the princess to go out to the pawnshop to exchange money. The elder brother and Mei Xiang were together, but unexpectedly walked halfway, but suddenly saw He Lan in the room with his wife talking to the people from Yongxing Gambling House......"

She raised her eyes and looked at Qin Zhongguang, who was not angry and arrogant, and her heart was crossed.

"The concubine is just a helpless orphan girl, and it is a blessing for the concubine to be fortunate to serve by the grandfather of the country. The concubine doesn't ask for anything, in order to avoid the suspicion of the lady, the concubine is willing to do anything. My brother is the only relative of the concubine, so I just ask my wife to raise her noble hand and spare the lives of our brothers and sisters! ”

Speaking of this, her beautiful face suddenly distorted, and she fell down holding her stomach, obviously in great pain.

Qin Zhongguang hurriedly called for a doctor, but was stopped by Aunt Su.

Mei Xiang stepped forward to explain with a sad face, "Auntie is fine, but she just took the Juezi soup, which inevitably has some side effects." This is what the doctor said when he caught the medicine, and the slave wanted to persuade the aunt, but the aunt refused to listen......"

Qin Zhongguang's heart suddenly softened like spring water, but what followed was anger and disgust towards Mrs. Qin.

At the same time, Mrs. Qin didn't know about this farce in the side yard, she was meeting another henchman.

When the latter reported, she finally showed her first smile after the queen's death, cold and vicious.

"Let Huang San dispose of that girl as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night."
