Chapter 387: Setting Up a Bureau
Some words, pressed in the heart, heavy. If you don't talk about it for the rest of your life, you will feel aggrieved and annoyed for the rest of your life.
Wronged his heart, no one knows, so he passed away with the wind, leaving not even a trace. I am annoyed by my cowardice, I don't fight for anything, I don't do anything, and naturally I get nothing.
Up to now, Zhu Lu no longer thinks about Jiao Changqing. She decided to give up, but before giving up, she still wanted to tell him clearly that she liked him, from the first time they met. No matter how he looked at her and laughed at her, she didn't care.
Jiao Changqing looked at her quietly, and his expressionless face gradually fluctuated slightly.
He suddenly curled his lips and smiled, shallow, but just right. "Thank you. It's just that I already have someone in my heart. You're a good girl, you shouldn't waste your years for me. ”
He had already made up his mind that he would stay by Meng Xilan's side in this life and this life. Unless he died, he wouldn't leave her.
There is no indifferent neglect, no sarcastic ridicule.
A gentle expression appeared on his handsome face, which surprised Zhulu slightly.
"Slaves and maids know, slaves and maids all know."
There has always been only one person in his heart, and that is the master.
"If you know, it's good." Jiao Changqing responded lightly.
He doesn't hide his sincerity, and he's not afraid of being known.
Zhulu slowly lowered her head: "The slave is talking too much today, and I hope the adults don't take it to heart." ”
Jiao Changqing shook his head silently, then turned around and left with his hands behind his back.
Zhu Lu looked at his back, walked farther and farther, and sighed softly: "Master Jiao, do you know that you and the slave maid are the same. We all fell in love with someone we weren't supposed to like. ”
You have a mother in your heart...... But who is in the mother's heart? Master Jiao, you don't know, Niangniang has long looked down on the love of men and women in this world, and she is obsessed with love. The only person she still cares about now is the crown prince.
The sunset is infinitely good, but for some reason, it makes people feel sad.
…
It was late at night, and Chuxiu Palace did not light up for a long time.
Tong Yao clasped her hands on her knees, sat at the head of the bed, looked out the window, and said nothing.
The palace maid had no way to take her, and persuaded and persuaded her, but there was no way.
Wu Xue'er came once, and when she saw that she only knew that she was crying in a daze, she left in a distraught.
However, she knew that Tong Yao was still useful, and the emperor would come back soon, and it would be better if she wanted to do something else.
Wu Xue'er pondered and meditated for several days, and finally had an idea in her heart.
She asked someone to bring news to her family outside the palace and asked them to prepare something for themselves.
This thing is very common, but it is too sensitive to let others know the slightest bit of information.
What Wu Xueer wanted was oleander sap. Oleander itself is highly poisonous, and the sap is the most toxic, and it is easy to take human life.
Wu Xueer asked for this poison, not to harm people, but to set up a game. And this game was carefully designed by her for Meng Xilan and Tong Yao.
The emperor is coming back soon, and her time is running out.
Early the next morning, Wu Xue'er came to Chuxiu Palace again, not as serious and indifferent as before, but continued to pretend to be caring for her.
Her sudden cold and hot made Tong Yao slightly surprised and uneasy.
"Sister, I thought you would ignore me anymore." Tong Yao regarded her as her last hope, the only hope. In this palace, no one will help her except her.
Wu Xue'er stroked her hair and said softly, "Good sister, why would I ignore you?" I said I wanted to help you, and since I want to help, I'm going to help you to the end. ”
Tong Yao hugged her arm, her body was weak, and her brain became less clear.
She doesn't even think about whether what she says is true or false, anyway, she believes whatever she says.
Wu Xue'er comforted her for a while, and then asked the palace maid to bring the ginseng soup she had prepared.
"My sister's face is so ugly. I heard today that the emperor is already on his way back to Beijing. How do you look like this? Hurry up and replenish your body as soon as possible. ”
Tong Yao took her hand, took a sip of ginseng soup and said, "Sister, do I still have a chance?" I messed everything up. ”
Wu Xue'er smiled gently: "It's okay, it's okay." The queen mother is so cunning, I originally prepared two plans. ”
Tong Yao's eyes flashed when she heard this, and she looked at her fixedly, "Really? ”
Wu Xue'er scooped up another spoonful of ginseng soup and sent it to her mouth: "Of course, sister, don't be impatient, take care of your body first." Let's take a long-term view......"
If it weren't for the dim light in the hall, Tong Yao might have seen through her hypocritical smile.
Wu Xueer's plan is very simple, that is, to let Tong Yao stage a masochistic scene.
That oleander was for her. The bitter meat trick, although old-fashioned, is the most useful.
However, if you want to make the people who watch the drama believe it. Then everything has to be realistic. The poison must be real, and the motive must be real.
Tong Yao leaned on Wu Xue'er's body and sighed deeply: "Sister, what should I do?" ”
Wu Xue'er said quietly: "Sister, don't be afraid, it's okay, everything will be fine." ”
Under her careful arrangement, Tong Yao's body recovered day by day.
Her complexion is much better, and she is more energetic. However, she was always emotionally unstable, often shaking her nerves and often shedding tears.
Wu Xueer was patient, and only after accompanying her for half a month did she mention her plan.
"The reason why the last incident didn't work out was because I was negligent. The queen's city is so deep and wary, she will not easily trust others. She deliberately pretended to be remorseful, "It's all my fault, it's my lack of thought." My sister didn't make it......"
Seeing her like this, Tong Yao naturally shook her head again and again. "Sister, don't say that, it's me who hasn't done well enough."
The second prince is obviously her child, she knows it very well in her heart, but why does she still feel scared when she sees him? It's obviously my own flesh and blood, but I still feel scared......
"Sister, I still have a plan now, but it's just ......" Wu Xue'er wanted to speak and stopped: "If it weren't for this last resort, I wouldn't have made this decision." ”
What's next? Tong Yao looked at her seriously: "Sister, please say it." ”
Wu Xueer leaned into her ear and told her about the "bitter meat trick".
When Tong Yao heard this, he was immediately frightened.
"What? Take poison? Xu was really frightened by her plan, Tong Yao straightened up, deliberately distanced herself from her, and said, "Sister, you won't be joking with me, right?" ”
Seeing her react so much, Wu Xue'er couldn't help frowning and said, "How can I laugh at this kind of thing?" Didn't my sister hear what I just said? I'm just asking you to pretend to take poison and die, but I don't really want you to die in vain! ”
Tong Yao looked at her and pondered for a moment before saying, "But what is that poison...... What if the doctor doesn't arrive in time, or if I accidentally use the wrong amount of medicine? ”
She really didn't dare to think about it, and shook her head again and again: "No, I still have to keep this life to see the emperor." ”
When Wu Xue'er heard this, she frowned invisibly.
It seems that she is not too stupid, and she actually knows to be afraid?
"Sister, I have already said that this is the next step, and it is also the last resort." She was still kind and seductive: "As long as my sister is willing to use her life as a bargaining chip, the queen will definitely let down her guard." Moreover, if the emperor knows, he will be soft-hearted, and maybe he will forgive you for your reckless behavior that day, and let the second prince return to his sister's side. ”
Tong Yao's eyes rolled uneasily, and after thinking carefully, she thought again, "Does it have to be like this?" If the favor is gone, I can fight again, but if my life is gone, I will be completely finished. ”
Wu Xue'er dispelled her uneasiness and continued: "Sister, don't be afraid, I already know the amount of poison I take, as long as I act according to the dosage, I will definitely not hurt my sister's life." It's just that...... The process may be slightly painful. ”
Speaking of this, she deliberately accentuated her tone and said, "Sister, you don't believe in others, don't you still believe me?" I'm here to help you, not to hurt you. Besides, if I harm you, what good will it do me? ”
Tong Yao looked embarrassed, just shook his head and said, "This thing is too sudden...... Good sister, let me think about it, okay? ”
She originally thought that she believed her, but when it came to life and death, she was still not completely sure in her heart.
Is she genuine? What if not? What if she and Meng Xilan are in the same group?
Wu Xue'er didn't continue to force her to make a decision, but took a step back and said, "Of course, I'm just giving you an idea." In the end, what to do, naturally it is up to my sister to make her own decisions. ”
This time, she is going to put a long line and catch big fish. Therefore, she is not in a hurry, and she is not in a hurry.
After Wu Xue'er left, Tong Yao stared at the remaining half bowl of ginseng soup on the table, and a chill suddenly broke out in her heart.
She went straight to the table, and without hesitation, she pulled out a silver hairpin and put it into the soup.
Poison testing with silver is the most effective method.
Seeing her like this, the palace maid couldn't help but be startled and said, "Niangniang, what are you doing?" Do you doubt that this soup is ......?"
Tong Yao made a "shhh
Thankfully, she's just overhearted. The silver hairpin did not change, but Tong Yao sat on the chair with weak legs.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?" The palace maid panicked.
These days, the master has finally recovered, but don't make the same mistakes as before, he is groggy all day long, which makes people worry.
Tong Yao threw the silver hairpin on the ground, covered his head with both hands and said, "I don't know...... I just felt scared. ”
Suddenly, she felt that no one could be trusted.
"Niangniang, Little Master Wu is so good to you, can't you be too careful." The palace maid whispered.
Looking at it, there is no second person who is willing to come to Chuxiu Palace to see the master in this palace except for Wu Xue'er.
Before, when the master was pregnant, this palace was very lively every day. However, now, the tree is falling and scattered, and the master has become the "evil mother" and "crazy woman" scolded by everyone in the palace, and he can't get out of the door and can't speak.
"Niangniang, you only have one friend left, Little Master Wu, now. If even she doesn't come, our palace will really suffer. ”
This Chuxiu Palace has now become no different from the Cold Palace.
Seeing that the weather is getting colder day by day, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been slow to send them a portion, asking for charcoal without charcoal, cotton without cotton, and even the usual three meals are so-so and extremely lazy. Fortunately, Xiao Master Wu still has a status in the palace, and often reminds those minions who look down on people with dogs' eyes, so that they don't slack off and cause trouble. Only then did the dilemma in front of me be solved one by one.
Tong Yao crossed her arms and lowered her head: "I know, I don't have a choice." ”
The palace maid saw her master's eyes weeping, so she knelt down and said, "Niangniang, I just heard from Master Wu that the emperor will come back in two months." So, you have to be good and don't make any more trouble. Also, Master Wu has helped you so much, you can't be ungrateful. ”
Seeing that she said the same, Tong Yao only lowered her head, leaned on her knees and said, "Okay, don't say it, let me be alone for a while." ”
The bitter meat meter may really work. But...... She was very suspicious in her heart, even if she fought with her life, would Meng Xilan really be soft-hearted? And the emperor...... It has been three months since the second prince was born, but he has not yet set a name for him, which shows that he does not like this child at all...... If so, she still wants to live and die, who will she see?
