Chapter 034: Cold Poison
Early the next morning, Lan Xirui asked the maidservant to bring a basket of freshly picked grapes to Hua Mian.
Hua Mian happily plucked one and said, "Your master has a heart, go back and thank her for me." "The grapes were delivered in a timely manner, and I was still thinking about them.
Seeing the servant girl leave, the smile on her lips froze, Lan Xirui is not like a lord who will take the initiative to please people, unless she is sincere, it seems that she really no longer regards herself as an enemy.
She tossed the grapes into her mouth, squinted and chewed them twice, and couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips. The little tongue wrapped around her mouth, spit out the purple grape skin, and she said to Wan Tao on the side: "Divide the grapes and let the palace people taste them." ”
The palace maids and eunuchs of Shuihua Palace were rewarded by their masters, and they all knelt down to thank them.
Hua Mian waved his hand and said, "Let's all get up, it's just some food." ”
After the palace people received the reward and retreated happily, Wan Tao said: "This is not an ordinary variety, it is a royal tribute from Phoenix Island, they have never seen it, let alone tasted it, and you are so generous, girl." ”
"Oh?" Hua Mian was curious, "Since this grape is so rare, how did you know about it?" ”
"I went to Mingxi Palace yesterday to inquire."
"Oh, no wonder she sent someone to deliver it today, it turned out to be the root of your tongue that you chewed."
"No, I don't have to chew on the root of my tongue, I just asked about the origin of this grape."
"Well, anyway, you have a heart. Come, you can eat some too. ”
"Excuse me, this basket is all for you to share, and there is not enough left for you to eat, besides, I don't like this bite."
Hua Mian smiled, so he was not reluctant, and put another one in his mouth, chewing it deliciously.
When Kang Muning came, Hua Mian was picking up the last grape and preparing to put it in his mouth, and when he saw that there was no grape on the several cases in the courtyard except for the grape skin, he reached out and grabbed the one in Hua Mian's hand.
Hua Mian reacted quickly, she flipped her little hand, threw the grape into her mouth, and then looked at Kang Muning triumphantly, but he suddenly grabbed her jaw, and when she was forced to open her mouth, the other hand gently reached out and pulled the grape out of her mouth.
The smile on Hua Mian's face instantly turned to annoyance, which was quickly replaced by shock as she watched as the grape fell into Kang Muning's mouth in a graceful arc.
Seeing him chewing the grapes taken out of his mouth, Hua Mian was dumbfounded: "How do you ...... There is my saliva on the grapes. ”
Kang Muning spit out the grape skin with a "poof", squinted and smiled: "Add your saliva, it will be more flavorful." ”
"You...... Don't you have a habit of cleanliness? ”
"This Xiao Wang has a habit of cleanliness, but it is an exception for you."
Hua Mian was still immersed in Kang Muning's actions just now, and she looked at him in a daze, completely ignoring the deep meaning of his words.
Kang Muning laughed and said, "Isn't it an honor? Since I love you so much, shouldn't you show it? ”
"What does it mean?" Hua Mian followed his words.
"I'm leaving in the afternoon, stay with me today?"
"You're finally leaving?"
"What are these words, do you expect me to leave?"
Hua Mian tilted his head and thought about it, feeling that if he left, it would really be a lot less fun, and couldn't help muttering: "It's really a little reluctant." ”
Kang Muning was in a good mood when he heard this, and he immediately opened his eyebrows and smiled: "Otherwise, how about you go back to Xiyan with me?" ”
Hua Mian sneered: "You can really climb along the pole." I don't want to go to Xiyan, I face the vast grassland every day, how boring. ”
"Who said that the west extension is all grasslands, but there are more grasslands, and there are many metropolises there, and their prosperity is no less than that of the east separation."
"Really?"
"Of course. Would you like to come with me? ”
"I don't want to go at the moment, but maybe one day, I'll take a look."
"Okay, remember to inform me when the time comes, I will do my best to be a landlord."
"Thank you very much."
"Now, then, shouldn't you do your best to be a landlord?"
"Okay, what do you want to do today?"
"Last time, you took me to eat a lot of famous food, and I will continue today."
"Okay."
The two came to Yanxia Residence. As the most proud industry of Hua Myanmar, it sits in the north and faces south, with the front and backyard, east and west roads, and excellent feng shui. Flowers and plants are planted all over the courtyard, you can enjoy flowers inside, and you can see water outside, which is the place where literati and scholars gather.
Hua Mian chose the elegant room near the water on the second floor and ordered a table of food to serve Kang Muning.
When she ate to the hearty place, Hua Mian suddenly felt pain in her lower abdomen, and she couldn't help it for a while.
Kang Muning couldn't help but be a little flustered when he saw her hands covering her abdomen and cold sweat on her head, and he was concerned: "What's wrong with Myanmar?" ”
As soon as Hua Mian wanted to tell her that he might have been poisoned, she heard a "bang", the window sash was hit open by gravity, and two black-clothed masked men broke through the window, and as soon as they landed, they stabbed at Hua Mian with their swords.
Kang Muning quickly drew the soft knife at his waist and concentrated his internal force to block the sword. Hua Mian held the jade flute in his hand and wanted to join the battle, but he couldn't gather his internal strength due to abdominal pain, so he had to dodge left and right under the protection of Kang Muning, and from time to time he used the jade flute to block one or two.
These two assassins are extremely powerful in martial arts, and Kang Muning is obviously unable to parry with one enemy and two, and the decline is gradually emerging. Hua Mian was too busy to take care of herself, and she couldn't use the sound of Xiao to perform hypnosis.
Seeing that one person finally avoided Kang Muning and attacked Hua Mian, the door was suddenly slammed open, and a man in green shirt with sword eyebrows flew up, blocking the fatal sword that pierced Hua Mian's left chest with his 100-refined steel silver-plated sword.
As soon as Hua Mian saw someone coming, he immediately relaxed his tense body, and then saw the few people who came in to join the battle, and he was completely relieved. She found a seat in the corner and sat down, rubbing her aching lower abdomen as she watched the battle.
The man in the green shirt had strong martial arts, and he reversed the trend within a few moves, and with the help of many people, the man in black saw that he couldn't get any benefits, and after looking at each other, he turned around and jumped out of the window and fled.
The man in the green shirt ran to the window, and when he saw the two fleeing along the water, he wanted to chase them, but was stopped by Hua Mian: "Their martial arts are no less than yours, and you can't catch them alone." ”
The man in the green shirt turned his head to look at Hua Mian, and when he saw her in pain, he was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Isn't Mian'er injured?" ”
Hua Mian shook his head: "Yinchu, I'm afraid that I was drugged, and my stomach hurts." ”
This person is none other than Liang Yinchu, the left envoy in charge of intelligence collection in the Langye Pavilion. If he hadn't been here for his patrol today, even if these guards were there, Hua Mian would have been more than lucky.
Liang Yinchu was stunned and said, "How come? "The master's food has always been strictly controlled, and he has tried poison, and he has never faked it to others in the middle.
Hua Mian also thought of this, she turned her head to look at Kang Muning, but saw that he was not unusual, just looked at them thoughtfully, and there was a doubt in her heart.
Seeing them staring at him with strange expressions, Kang Muning hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't look at me like that, how can I poison Myanmar." ”
Liang Yinchu pondered: "Could it be that Myanmar was poisoned before coming here?" ”
Hua Mian's heart trembled, but now was not the time to investigate how to be poisoned, she couldn't help but say bitterly: "Go and ask for a doctor." ”
Liang Yinchu suddenly got up and rushed away at this time.
Kang Muning sat Hua Mian on the soft couch by the window and reached out to cover her lower abdomen.
Hua Mian opened his hand in surprise and said, "What are you doing?" ”
Kang Muning said aggrievedly: "What can I do? Just rub your stomach for you. Well, it might be more comfortable to rub it. ”
Hua Mian only felt that the pain was unbearable, and she couldn't care so much, so she let him rub it.
His movements are extremely in place, with a gentle strength, and he slowly injects soft internal force into the kneading.
Hua Mian only felt that her lower abdomen was ironed warm by a pair of warm palms, and the pain was slowly disappearing. My opinion of Kang Muning couldn't help but change a little bit.
Liang Yinchu quickly invited the doctor over, and the result of the diagnosis was that Hua Mian was infected with cold poison, and if he did not remove it as soon as possible, he was afraid that it would affect future fertility, and with his medical skills, he could only suppress it, but could not eradicate it.
The three were stunned by the result.
Hua Mian couldn't, so she had to take a Wen Gong Li Zhong Pill first to relieve the pain. She thought about it all over the past, and the only reason she could think of was the bunch of grapes she had eaten in the morning. Her eyes darkened, and she got up and said to Kang Muning: "I have to go back first, I can't send it today, please forgive me." ”
Kang Muning said: "Your body is important, I will send you back." ”
Hua Mian was also not polite, said goodbye to Liang Yinchu and returned to the palace with Kang Muning.
As soon as she arrived at Shuihua Palace, Wan Tao pounced, looked Hua Mian up and down, and asked her if she had abdominal pain.
At this time, Hua Mian finally determined that the problem was indeed with the grapes.
She turned to Kang Muning and said, "It's not early, the little prince should leave quickly." ”
Kang Muning said: "Don't worry, it's not too late to leave when you know who wants to harm you." ”
Hua Mian was not reluctant, at this time she just wanted to know who was so bold and dared to poison her in the palace.
She said to Wan Tao: "Do those palace people have abdominal pain after eating grapes?" ”
"Exactly." Wan Tao's tears were about to flow out, she looked at Hua Mian's lower abdomen and said, "As soon as I saw that they all had stomach aches, I thought that the girl must be the same, how is this good?" ”
Hua Mian said: "Didn't you let the imperial doctor come to show them?" ”
"Naturally, I see."
"Could it be that the Imperial Doctor is helpless?"
"The imperial doctor said that this kind of cold poison is only for women, which will cause the uterine compatriots to be cold and unable to sit in the fetus, and they can only prescribe some ordinary drugs to warm and relieve the pain, but it cannot be cured."
"That means that only the palace maids have stomach pains, not eunuchs?"
"Exactly."
Hua Mian's mood suddenly dropped a little: "So, I actually hurt them like this." ”
"Girl, you better think about yourself, now you are like them, if you can't be cured, what can you do?"
Wan Tao was so anxious that tears kept rolling down like beans, but Hua Mian only felt that there was an indescribable taste in her heart, a moment of annoyance, a moment of sadness, a moment of sadness, and a moment of emptiness and nothingness.
After a while, she said lightly: "What about Brother Ye?" ”
Wan Tao rolled up his sleeves and wiped his tears and said, "He just left Shuihua Palace in a hurry, thinking that he was going to Mingxi Palace." ”
Hua Mian's heart trembled, and she turned around and walked out of Shuihua Palace without thinking about it. Kang Muning also followed.
As soon as he entered Mingxi Palace, Hua Mian was suddenly so stunned that he couldn't take a step. I saw that the grape trellis in the courtyard fell to the ground, and the originally delicate and bright purple grapes were scattered everywhere, and even many of them had been trampled beyond recognition. And the woman sitting at the stone table, although her temples were messy and her clothes were disheveled, still maintained a calm and calm demeanor, completely ignoring the man beside her who was glaring at her.
Sensing that someone was approaching, Ji Yunye turned his head to look at the person who came, and when he saw that it was Hua Mian, his eyes lit up, and he stepped forward quickly and said, "Is there any discomfort in your body?" ”
Hua Mian nodded: "It's much better now." ”
Turning his eyes to look at the decaying grape trellis, Lan Xirui asked people to transplant these grapes in the vigorous growth period, not only to make them live, but also to make them grow extremely vigorously, which shows that a lot of effort has been made, and now, alas! She lamented: "It's a pity that this courtyard is full of grapes." ”
Ji Yunye's anger swelled, he pointed at Lan Xirui and said: "Today, I will hand her over to the Criminal Department for disposal, whether she lives or dies depends on her creation." ”
Hua Mian turned her head to look at Lan Xirui, only to see the corners of her lips slightly hooked, and she smiled, with a trace of desolation, a trace of sadness, and a trace of disdain, her heart couldn't help but tremble, and the words "disheartened" slid through her heart.
She looked around and found the maidservant who had delivered the grapes among the palace people who knelt all over the ground. She stepped forward, helped her up, and said, "On the way to deliver grapes to Shuihua Palace this morning, did you meet anyone?" ”
The maid's trembling body suddenly shook, she raised her tear-stained eyes and said: "The slave maid met Mrs. Ru when she passed through the Tinglan Palace, she asked the slave maid what to do, and the slave maid said that she was waiting for my master's order to send grapes to Princess Ning Wan, she came over and snatched the slave's basket, and picked it for a while before taking the largest string from the basket and leaving. ”
Hua Mian sighed, turned to Ji Yunye and said, "Brother Ye, this time you are probably wrong to blame your concubine." ”
Ji Yunye's eyes dimmed, and he said to the little eunuch behind him: "Go and bring Qiu Tang over!" ”
"Wait!"
Ji Yunye looked at Hua Mian in surprise, but heard her say: "Forget it, she won't admit it if she thinks about it, what's more, even if she does it, you have to move her?" ”
Ji Yunye's body stiffened, and he said in a deep voice: "I will definitely find the best doctor to cure your cold poison." ”
Hua Mian smiled: "It's not just me, the palace maids in my palace, no one is missing." ”
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
When the words fell, Ji Yunye summoned the palace people who were kneeling on the ground, and then took Hua Mian and walked out.
Fang took two steps, Hua Mian paused, she looked back at Lan Xirui and said to Ji Yunye: "You have just done a little too much, shouldn't you say something?" ”
Ji Yunye glanced at Lan Xirui with disdain and said, "As far as the evil things she has done, what I have done to her is really nothing. Even if I did wronged her, it was her own fault. ”
Hua Mian sighed helplessly and said, "That's it, let's go back." ”
Lan Xirui watched in amazement as the pair of beautiful people gradually disappeared from her sight, and the corners of her lips slowly hooked up a bleak arc.
Kang Muning watched a wonderful show in silence, and he already had some judgment in his heart. After expressing his deep sympathy for Lan Xirui with his eyes, he stepped up to catch up with the two people who ignored his existence.
