It was still sunny today, but for some reason, it suddenly started to rain lightly.

Out of the capital to the south, about ten miles away from the city wall, there are a few earthen houses sparsely sparsely sitting. The roads in the village were muddy, and the carriages were moving very slowly, and there were still a little splashes of yellow mud.

An Ge lifted the curtain and looked at Su Yi'an, who was riding on a white horse outside: "How long is it going to arrive?" ”

"That's it." Su Yi'an reined in the horse, the coachman also stopped the carriage, Ning Jiu jumped down first, and then opened the curtain and waited for An Ge to come down.

There was a lonely little courtyard in front of him, and under the low yellow mud wall was an old yellow dog with little spirit, and when he saw someone coming, he raised his head and looked at it, snorted twice, and lowered his head again.

Su Yi'an directly pushed open the courtyard door and entered, a white-haired woman was sitting under the eaves in a daze, seeing Su Yi'an coming, her cloudy eyes suddenly showed a glimmer of light, and she said happily: "Brother Su, you are here!" ”

Brother Sue? An Ge glanced at her strangely, her wrinkled face was about to be Su Yi'an's grandmother.

Su Yi'an smiled, walked up to her in a few steps, squatted down to look directly at her, and asked in a gentle tone, "How are your legs lately?" Does it still hurt? ”

When An Ge, who came over after Su Yi'an, heard this, he noticed that the woman's legs were wrapped in a thick blanket, and there were two crutches beside her, it seemed that there should be some problems with her legs and feet.

"Not good! Not good at all! It hurts to death! Brother Su, help me treat it quickly, it really hurts! She furrowed her already wrinkled brows, and her tone seemed to be coquettish with Su Yi'an.

It seems that she should like Su Yi'an very much.

Su Yi'an coaxed her patiently: "Okay, you take the medicine obediently, it won't hurt if you take the medicine." ”

The woman nodded obediently, and Su Yi'an got up and said to An Ge, who was confused behind her: "An Ge, you have also finished reading Concubine Jing's medical case, you know what it will be like for her to be dead for a few months." ”

An Ge looked away from the woman's body, and already had some guesses in his heart: "Hmm...... My mother and Concubine Jing were delirious before the deadline. ”

Obviously, the same is true for the person in front of you.

"Yes, Aunt Jing is the same age as your mother, and she was originally on an errand by Concubine Jing's side, but now she is also delirious. And ......"

Su Yi'an looked at Aunt Jing again, but Aunt Jing was happy like a little girl and didn't realize anything, but she was happy there.

Su Yi'an took away the blanket on her lap and lifted her trouser leg again, and a foul smell came out.

Ange stared at her half-leg, which was covered with black spots.

"Not only was he delirious, but his body began to decay. The second fetus in Concubine Jing's womb was not saved, and when the labor was induced, the small body that had not yet grown was also rotten. Su Yi looked at her quietly, he knew that An Ge had almost connected it all together.

An Ge asked in a deep voice: "So, back then, the palace maids and palace people in Concubine Jing's palace, from Concubine Jing to the bottom, none of them died well?" ”

Su Yi'an nodded: "I've been searching for a long time, and a few palace people have also found clues, but when I looked for it, they were all dead." Only Aunt Jing is still there, but she ......"

Su Yi'an didn't say anything, but An Ge knew that this Aunt Jing didn't have a few days to live.

But she was already delirious, so how could she ask her about the events of that year?

"You're so smart, you should have guessed it

。 Su Yi'an said to the silent An Ge, "Concubine Jing, your mother, and all the palace people around Concubine Jing at that time were poisoned, but due to the different levels of poisoning, the number of years of survival was also different. ”

An Ge recalled her mother's illness in the last few years, she only thought she was sick, but she didn't expect that it was actually poisoned, and how it was poisoned, who poisoned, it seems that there is no way to find out now.

Su Yi'an looked at her clenched fists, seemed to know what she was thinking, and couldn't help but comfort: "Don't worry, although I can't find out what poison Aunt Jing has for a while, there is still a way to slowly regulate her body, if the conditioning is good, maybe she can recover her senses and tell us what happened to Concubine Jing back then." ”

"Really?" An Ge suddenly raised his head and asked.

Su Yi'an nodded, and said, "Also, I will have to check your pulse often in the future." ”

"Why?" An Ge was puzzled at first, and then immediately thought, "You want to say that I may also have this poison on my body?" ”

"Hmm." Su Yi'an nodded, "After all, Concubine Jing was poisoned, and there was no child left in her womb." It stands to reason that your mother was poisoned in the palace and gave birth to you after leaving the palace, and she should have always carried this poison in her body when she was pregnant with you, but you were born in a good way, and it is likely that you ...... It is likely that the poison has an incubation period in the body. ”

"Incubation period?"

"It can take a few years of sleep in the body before it flares up. When your mother was pregnant with you, the poison did not attack and you had no problems, but a few years after giving birth to you, it slowly began to attack. You may have this poison on you, but you haven't flareed it yet. ”

"I ......" An Ge panicked, "Will I be like this in the future?" ”

"I won't let you do this," Su Yi'an gently took her hand, "I will definitely find a way to detoxify!" ”

"I ......" An Ge immediately withdrew his hand, not noticing Su Yi'an's suddenly dim eyes, and pretending to be relaxed, "I don't necessarily have poisoning, do I?" ”

"Well, that's right, it's best not to be poisoned." Su Yi'an said in a low voice as if nothing had happened.

After speaking, he lifted his medicine box again and said, "You accompany Aunt Jing, and I will decoct the medicine for her." ”

An Ge nodded, and Su Yi'an went to the kitchen to light a fire to decoct the medicine.

Ning Jiu had been quietly observing Su Yi'an from the side, and seeing him leave at this time, he walked up to An Ge's side and said in a voice that only An Ge could hear: "Imperial Doctor Su seems to have other thoughts about the girl. ”

An Ge looked at Su Yi'an, who was busy inside, through a hidden door, and smiled faintly: "Anyway, it's not the kind of idea you think." ”

Ning Jiu was stunned for a moment, puzzled: "What does the girl mean?" ”

An Ge turned his face to look at her and said with a smile: "His affection is just a matter of habit, I won't take it seriously." As for the rest, the one who is good to me is my friend, and I don't care what his identity and background are. ”

After An Ge finished speaking, he leaned over and covered the blanket on Aunt Jing's lap.

Ning Jiu was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

Her general was afraid that Su Yi'an's identity would be a mystery before, and he was afraid that An Ge would be deceived, but now it seems that An Ge is very clear, and if she thinks about it carefully, she is right, no matter what Su Yi'an's identity is, it would be harmless to her.

And now it seems that no matter who Su Yi'an is, she can't easily get rid of him. First, he is an important person who can help An Ge find what happened back then, and second, maybe An Ge really has that kind of poison on his body, and he really needs Su Yi'an

Untie.

Ning Jiu figured this out, and didn't say anything anymore, taking care of Aunt Jing with An Ge.

After a while, Su Yi'an came out with the medicine again and fed it to Aunt Jing spoonful by spoonful. Aunt Jing began to feel sleepy after taking the medicine, and after a while, she closed her eyes.

Ning Jiu and An Ge worked together to help Aunt Jing in and put her on the bed.

There was only a bed, a stool, and a table in the room, and the quilt seemed to have not been washed for a long time. The only window in the house was crackled by the wind, and it was estimated that in a few days the weather would be colder and the room would be uninhabitable.

An Ge's eyes rolled around, and then he looked at Ning Jiu and said, "Can you take Aunt Jing back to where I live?" ”

Ning Jiu said with a smile: "The house was given to the girl by the general, and the girl can bring anyone she wants." ”

"Then let's move her to the carriage now."

After An Ge finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to support Aunt Jing's head, and Ning Jiu and Su Yi'an also went over, wanting to work together to move Aunt Jing up, but Aunt Jing suddenly woke up, looked at the three of them in horror, kept waving her hands, and shouted in panic: "No...... Don't kill me! Don't kill slaves and maids...... Ah......h

"Concubine Jing? Why did Concubine Jing kill you? An Ge blurted out, but Aunt Jing just waved her arms indiscriminately and screamed, as if she couldn't listen to anything.

Su Yi'an tried to quiet her down: "Aunt Jing, don't worry, Concubine Jing is dead, you will be fine, will you go with us to live in the capital?" ”

"I'm not going back to the capital! Don't go back! It's horrible...... The palace is terrible......" Aunt Jing suddenly curled up in the corner and cried "whining".

Su Yi'an said helplessly: "Aunt Jing is not suitable to forcibly take her away like this, and when she calms down a little in a few days, we will persuade her again." ”

An Ge didn't know what Aunt Jing's physical condition was, so she could only listen to Su Yi'an at this time.

The three of them went out of the house and stood in the courtyard to observe for a while, but Aunt Jing still looked panicked.

"Let's go, is she okay alone?" An Ge was a little worried.

"When I found her half a month ago, she was in this situation, and it was okay to come to her for dinner and water. And there are almost people not far away, and they will give her a hand to take care of her on weekdays. ”

An Ge nodded, looked at Su Yi'an and said, "I want to ask those people about Aunt Jing." ”

Su Yi'an answered, and took An Ge to a few houses a mile or two away.

When they got there, two peasant women in simple clothes were sitting at the door of the house talking, and when they saw someone coming, they both turned their faces to look at them.

An Ge briefly explained his intentions, and one of the women replied: "She has lived here for more than ten years, and she has been alone, at first she was fine, but she didn't like to talk to people, and then it was not normal, and she always thought she was a little girl." ”

"That's right, it's pitiful, I don't know how I got this strange disease." The other woman sighed and said with a smile, "Have you eaten a few young ladies yet?" I'm still hot porridge on the stove, do you want to come in and sit down? ”

"Thank you, Auntie, we still have something to do, so let's not sit down for now." Su Yi'an took the lead in declining their kindness, and left here with An Ge Ningjiu.

Before leaving, An Ge also looked back at the two of them: "It seems that most of Aunt Jing's surroundings are kind and simple villagers, she should be fine if she lives here alone, let's come back another day." ”
