Chapter 135: Doubts Through the Years (7)
If it weren't for Mu Lan coming back and telling all the experiences of these days, Xiao Yuexi would still be kept in the dark.
Mu Yun snorted lightly, and seemed to have a new understanding of Mu Lan's brainlessness.
"Let's not worry about this for you!" Xiao Yuexi said angrily, and then cut to the chase: "Mu Lan found out that on the second day after our brother and sister recovered from their illness, my mother took two carts of incense to Hanshui Temple early in the morning, saying that she was vowed. But I think that the incense is loaded with two large carts, and even if a toddler over a year old is carried in the middle, it will not be discovered. ”
Mu Yun was stunned and said, "This ...... There is no evidence. ”
Xiao Yuexi said indifferently: "There is indeed no evidence, the abbot of the year has been dead for many years, even if this conjecture comes true, the secret has long been brought into the coffin and there is no way to verify." ”
"Then you ......" Mu Yun looked at her with a complicated expression.
Xiao Yuexi also looked back with a complicated expression, and said after a while: "I don't know, I just feel like this." It's not easy for Mu Lan to find out like this, and he was attacked several times halfway, which also shows that the direction of my investigation is right, and the other party obviously doesn't want me to explore the truth! ”
Mu Yun said lightly and solemnly: "Are you guessing that the real lady of the General's Mansion died of smallpox back then, and it happened that the old lady picked up a girl who was about the same age, that is, you." The old lady only said to the outside world that your brother and sister were sick, and did not reveal anything else, and secretly sent the body of the eldest lady to the Hanshui Temple to do the ritual over, and raised a girl of unknown origin as her own? ”
Xiao Yuexi nodded and said, "Well, that's pretty much it, only this analysis makes sense, the only thing I don't understand is my brother...... Does he really not know, or is he hiding it from all of us? ”
Since knowing that Xiao Yixuan is the second-in-command of Zangfeng Pavilion, Xiao Yuexi has had a new understanding of his good brother, and even remembered many things, and felt that he was acting. I've always wanted to ask him face to face, but others are in the south, where can she have this opportunity to ask face to face.
Mu Yun glanced at her and said, "I had the intention of letting Brother Yixuan come back, and after Wei Chang and the others successfully rescued the detained people, let Brother Yixuan go back to Beijing to report on his work together." ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Yuexi finally pulled back her messy thoughts, and asked with some concern: "Speaking of this, I'm worried, it's been more than half a month, why hasn't there been any movement on Lord Wei's side?" ”
Mu Yun said lightly: "The other party is very cautious, the stronghold changes back and forth, and after Brother Yixuan's lieutenant arrives, he has to mobilize manpower without startling, and he has to find out the situation of the other party and designate countermeasures, which is slower, but we don't seek speed, we only seek stability, and we can't guarantee that one blow will kill, and all the efforts will be in vain." ”
Xiao Yuexi was speechless, Mu Yun comforted her lightly: "You don't have to worry too much about this, it's not early, let's rest." ”
Li Ran's new prescription finally worked, at least Xiao Yuexi's insomnia symptoms improved a lot.
In a daze, I seemed to hear Mu Yun say softly: "Sleep...... The day after tomorrow, the envoys of the tortoiseshell kingdom will enter Beijing, and we will find a way at that time. ”
Xiao Yuexi only subconsciously made a single tone, and fell asleep deeply.
The next morning, Xiao Yuexi woke up, and his eyes were red on the wood.
Xiao Yuexi was first startled by her, and then said angrily: "What's wrong with you early in the morning?" ”
Mu Lan said aggrievedly: "Madam, the slaves and maids have heard about it, you have suffered these days, woo ......"
Xiao Yuexi rolled her eyes and couldn't help but scold: "I'm not dead yet, what are you howling!" ”
As soon as Mu Lan came back yesterday afternoon, Xiao Yuexi only listened to the results of her investigation, and asked her to go back to her room to rest, and did not tell her what happened in these days. Coupled with Li Ran's conditioning, Xiao Yuexi felt that her complexion in the past few days was not bad, and it should be not much different from when Mu Lan left the palace, so she fooled her.
But I didn't want this girl to have eyes now, so I went to inquire about the recent situation in the palace after sleeping, and learned from Xiangning that Xiao Yuexi almost died because of the mistake in the prescription, so frightened that the three souls went to two and a half souls, and quickly found out the prescription, thinking that Xiao Yuexi would wake up and show her.
Xiao Yuexi quietly took the prescription, although she didn't know Li Ran's words, she couldn't see anything wrong with adding an extra vertical "ten", so she said: "This prescription should be a mistake when Imperial Doctor Li handed it over, the other party is very cautious, we have been checking for half a month and there is no clue." You don't have to care, it's not your fault, and I don't blame you. ”
"Madam......" Mu Lan pursed her lips and was about to cry again, but she heard a sound of footsteps outside the hall.
The steps are very light, and it is difficult for people who are not practicing martial arts to notice. Xiao Yuexi immediately guessed who it was.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Fengshuangxue to walk in with a calm face. "Ma'am."
Mu Lan instantly turned himself into a state of readiness for fighting cocks, staring at the wind and frost and snow with a hostile face. The latter didn't look at her, walked straight to Xiao Yuexi, and said calmly: "Madam, the slave maid had some gains last night. ”
Xiao Yuexi's eyes lit up, and Fengshuangxue followed Lu Jinxiu for most of the time, but she never heard any good news from her. If you can be said by the wind, frost and snow to "have some gains", then this harvest must be not small!
Xiao Yuexi said with a radiant look: "Say it quickly!" ”
Mu Lan muttered beside her, "Madam, you've been awake for a long time, and it's time to get up and freshen up for breakfast." I'll have to take medicine later! ”
"Tsk!" Xiao Yuexi glanced at her, but got up and went to wash.
Fengshuangxue was not in a hurry, and she didn't care that Mu Lan swore her dominance as soon as she came back, but she just found a corner and stood up, waiting for Xiao Yuexi to take the initiative to ask.
Xiao Yuexi hurriedly drank half a bowl of porridge with side dishes and asked people to withdraw their breakfast, she had no appetite, and forcing herself to eat so much was already the limit. She turned her head to look at Fengshuangxue and asked, "Ah Shuang, what did you find last night?" ”
Last night, the queen still pretended to be a palace maid to see the queen mother, when she came out, her face was ugly, it seemed that there was some dispute with the queen mother, and when she returned to the Jiaofang Palace, she threw things and scolded people in anger.
Xiao Yuexi imagined that picture for a moment and felt that she couldn't bear to look at it directly. I'm used to seeing a person with an elegant face on a shelf, and no one can get used to the sudden change of face.
Xiao Yuexi asked, "Just throw things and scold people?" Didn't say anything else? ”
Fengshuangxue said: "The problem is here, the palace people who are waiting have been driven out by her, and there is no one in the palace at all, just she is scolding." ”
Xiao Yuexi understood, most of what Fengshuangxue heard was the queen's dissatisfaction with the queen mother.
Fengshuangxue said: "The queen first insulted the queen mother, saying, 'Old thing, you can't do it yourself, let me do everything, the benefits are yours, and if you don't do it, you will only blame me!'" Aren't you just a relative of our Lu family? Give you a face and call you aunt, you really think you are a character! ’”
Xiao Yuexi smiled: "Heh! This resentment is big enough! ”
Mu Lan was in a fog listening to the side, and was about to interject, but Xiao Yuexi saw her thoughts and said first: "I'll explain to you later, let Ah Shuang finish the matter first!" ”
"Oh......" Mu Lan replied aggrievedly and shut up.
Feng Shuangxue continued: "Then the queen said, 'It's so easy to expect you to do a good deed, but someone found out halfway!'" Xiao Yuexi can't die, why do you blame me? Aren't you incapacitated?! Madame, she interspersed a few other scoldings in the middle, most of them were pointless complaints, only these two passages were important. ”
Naturally, it is important, one paragraph is saying that Lu Jinxiu scolded the Queen Mother, and the other paragraph is explaining that the prescription was tampered with by the Queen Mother.
Fengshuangxue hesitated for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Madam...... It doesn't seem surprising at all, did you guess it a long time ago? ”
Xiao Yuexi's face was too calm, and she didn't blame Fengshuangxue for asking this. In fact, Xiao Yuexi had indeed thought of this a long time ago, because Mu Yunqing's biological mother seemed to have died in the hands of the Queen Mother, but that time it was poisoned, but this time it was a change of prescription.
Listening to Fengshuangxue's question, Xiao Yuexi just nodded, didn't say anything, but suddenly asked, "Does the Queen Mother also understand medical skills?" If it weren't for Li Ran being dragged back to ask me for a pulse, I am afraid that there would be no need for the queen to scold the street at this time, and my bones would be cold. ”
Mu Lan snorted angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up!" ’”
No one paid attention to her, and Feng Shuangxue said solemnly: "As far as the slave maid knows, the Queen Mother does understand something, as for what she knows and how much she knows, outsiders have never really seen it." Imperial Physician Li's flavor medicine is not a rare thing, and anyone who knows a little bit about pharmacology should know how to use it, right? ”
"Indeed." Xiao Yuexi nodded and said, "I've worked hard for you, go and rest." ”
The wind and frost and snow retreated, and then Xiangning came in with a medicine bowl and said, "Madam, it's time to drink the medicine." ”
Xiao Yuexi seemed to be thinking about something, and took the medicine and drank it dry a little slowly, but her eyes were still deep, as if she had seen a far, far away place outside through the window.
"That's not right!" Xiao Yuexi suddenly exclaimed, eager to jump up.
Mu Lanqi said: "Madam, what's wrong? ”
Xiao Yuexi muttered as if talking to herself, "How would she know when Li Ran will send the prescription in?" How can you 'add oil and vinegar' to the prescription so seamlessly? She was obviously premeditated! ”
"What premeditation? What are you talking about, ma'am? Why can't Mu Lan understand? ”
Xiao Yuexi didn't bother to talk to her much, because she heard footsteps outside the window, it was Mu Yunqing who came back!
She ran out of the inner hall in a few steps and collided with Mu Yun. Mu Yunqing's chest was very hard, Xiao Yuexi rubbed her head that was hurt, her eyes were full of anxiety and couldn't hide, she said, "Yunqing, I have something to say!" ”
