The scholar came back to his senses and questioned, "Don't be deceived by her!" Where did a crazy woman come from, and she dared to pretend to be a palace concubine? How could Madame Xiao be here! ”

As soon as this remark came out, someone immediately chimed in: "That's right! "That's it!"

"Is it necessary for me to casually tell such an obvious lie?" Xiao Yuexi looked at the scholar coldly, seeing that his scalp was numb for a while, and he pretended to be calm and looked directly at her, but his momentum had already shown defeat.

"Imperial Doctor Li." Xiao Yuexi called tepidly.

Li Ran immediately said: "Weichen is here." ”

Xiao Yuexi said slowly: "That son is so confident, his condition shouldn't be serious, right?" You might as well give him a try of your medicine first. ”

Li Ran was stunned for a moment before he realized: "Back to Mrs. Xiao, Weichen's medicine is only effective for infected patients, and the dosage should be determined according to the severity of the disease. ”

The scholar refused without thinking: "Early death and late death are death!" You don't have to pretend here! Three out of ten patients who took medicine died last night, so how can we trust the imperial court? ”

"That's weird." Xiao Yuexi took a step forward and narrowed the distance between him and the scholar, this distance seemed to make him feel threatened, he hurriedly stepped back, but he almost fell. Xiao Yuexi continued indifferently: "I also vomited a lot of blood after taking Imperial Doctor Li's medicine, why am I jumping alive at this moment, but some of you are dead?" ”

What the?!

Xiao Yuexi ignored everyone's stunned gazes, and said to herself: "Don't hide it from you, I happened to be infected with the epidemic the night before yesterday, and the medicine you took was all tried by me first, and it was indeed effective, so I used it for you." Of course, I also know that I have no evidence, and the people who serve me close to me are all my own people and cannot testify, but I still want to ask, why are you so sure that it was Imperial Doctor Li who wanted to poison you? ”

"I ......" The scholar didn't say why, but he felt that someone took advantage of his unpreparedness and clamped his wrist. The scholar instinctively wanted to break free, but he was finally defeated by Li Ran's strength.

Li Ran probed his pulse, and then said expressionlessly: "In these years, if you are not sick, you have to pretend, this son, you are not sick!" Congratulations. ”

The scholar shook off his hand and said with a gloomy expression: "What do you mean?" ”

Xiao Yuexi raised her voice and said: "It means that someone is trying to disturb the people's hearts and drag everyone to die together." Everyone, please think about it, how did you get picked up and delay Imperial Doctor Li's rescue? Is the death of those three innocent patients really related to us? You didn't even look at the final result, and you insisted that the medicine prescribed by Imperial Doctor Li was poison, who did you listen to? ”

There were so many things that happened overnight that the people were stunned, completely forgetting the purpose of their original gathering.

In the silent atmosphere of Yaque, Chunxiu's soft voice became a lot clearer: "Everyone, I know that the epidemic is so serious that you are all uncomfortable, and I have also experienced the pain caused by the disease, but please believe me again, believe in the court once, now there is Mrs. Xiao, who is most valued by the emperor, to visit the epidemic area, which is the attitude of the imperial court!" There is a solution to the epidemic, but are you going to waste time here? ”

Xiao Yuexi glanced at her, and felt more and more in love, so she couldn't help but smile at her, and said coldly: "If you want to live, go back to the room now and wait, those patients who have vomited poisonous blood still need to be treated, you can wait first, if it is really useless, I, Xiao Yuexi, will be the first to ask you for guilt with the head of Xiang Shang!" ”

Some people began to waver, hesitated to take the first step, and soon someone followed, the shock brought by Mrs. Xiao's presence was too great, and the imperial court did not seem to be as cold-blooded and ruthless as they imagined......

Xiao Yuexi breathed a sigh of relief, and the feeling of detachment spread across the air, almost making her unable to stand.

Su Su quickly stepped forward to support her, and asked with a worried face, "Madam, are you okay?" ”

Xiao Yuexi shook her head and lowered her eyes to find that there was a little boy standing in front of her. The child was short and thin, with a sallow complexion, and dirty, but his eyes were round and dark, and he was looking at her with curiosity and some timidity.

I don't know why, Xiao Yuexi suddenly thought of another round little figure, when she was in the palace, Mu Lingche was like a little dog's leg, pestering her all day long to learn this and that, after being entangled for a long time, Xiao Yuexi slowly began to like him. At this time, I saw a little boy about his age, and I instinctively had some affection.

Xiao Yuexi smiled at him, but the little boy seemed to be frightened, took a few steps back, and hesitated to say something.

Xiao Yuexi squatted down and beckoned to him with a smile: "Come here." ”

The little boy hesitated, cautiously walked up to Xiao Yuexi, and said hesitantly: "I, I know you." ”

…… This is the familiar opening line.

Thinking of this, the smile on Xiao Yuexi's face became softer and softer, she slowly raised her hand, not too dirty, and wiped his face with her sleeve, the red rash on his face was very conspicuous, falling into Xiao Yuexi's eyes and stinging her heart.

"Does it hurt?" Xiao Yuexi asked softly.

The little boy shook his head: "My father said, manly husband, don't say pain!" ”

"Wow! Ambitious. Xiao Yuexi picked him up and asked as she walked inside, "Where is your father?" ”

The little boy's eyes suddenly dimmed, and Xiao Yuexi's heart froze for a moment, only to hear him mutter: "My father is ...... I drank the medicine last night and I haven't woken up......"

"I'm sorry......" Xiao Yuexi's eyes reddened.

Ignorant young son, can't understand the heart of adults, all he can do is learn words, he seems to understand and read: "My father has always told me to believe in the emperor, believe in the court, my father also said, if the court wants these people to die, these people will die long ago, but I don't understand very well......"

Su Su listened to it next to him, and he felt uncomfortable. are all innocent and simple ordinary people, inexplicably involved in a conspiracy, and before they die, they still retain a trace of trust in the imperial court......

"Huh! Madam! Su Su saw that Xiao Yuexi couldn't stand, so she hurriedly helped her and asked, "Is Madam tired?" Give me the child, and you can go and rest. ”

Xiao Yuexi's eyes were red and she said to the little boy: "Your father is right, you have to always remember!" ”

She handed over the child to Su Su and solemnly instructed: "Let Chengfeng settle this child, and find out if there are any children whose parents are gone, you can't let them fend for themselves like this, I will write a letter to the emperor to discuss this matter." ”

At this time, Xiao Yuexi was surprisingly calm, she could think of far away and detailed places, and she could lay out them in an orderly manner, but she couldn't face the patients who were full of expectations in the epidemic center. Most of them have lost relatives and friends, endured the pain of illness, and have to bear the pain of bereavement...... And all of this started because of her Xiao Yuexi.

How can she implicate so many people by herself?

When Xiao Yuexi returned to the door of her room step by step, the sky was already bright, although the epidemic center was still chaotic, but it was much better as before, and bursts of cooking smoke rose in the direction of the kitchen, adding a trace of vitality to the desolate epidemic center.

"Ma'am." After Su Su handed the child into Chengfeng's hands, he hurried back and said, "The child has been sent to Chengfeng, he asked me to ask you, what should I do with that fake patient?" ”

Xiao Yuexi took a deep breath, suppressed the grief and indignation that had nowhere to put it, and said slowly: "Find a place to lock it up-hmm, there must be a place in Lord Huang's mansion at this time, let Chengfeng send it, find someone to guard, don't rush to interrogate, this person has another use." ”

Although Su Su didn't quite understand her intentions, she still obediently went to pass the word.

Xiao Yuexi was depressed for a while, she didn't really want to enter the door, paused, turned her head and walked a few steps, and sat on the small stone steps in front of the door, without the slightest demeanor that a delicate and expensive palace concubine should have.

Ling Suihan came from afar, and when he saw this scene, he was in a trance-as if Xiao Yuexi was not bound by the so-called identity and status, and it was the most real.

"Ling Zhengzhi? Something to do with me? Xiao Yuexi raised her eyebrows and glanced at Ling Suihan.

But in an instant, her mood returned to normal, and with a calm glance, Ling Suihan's breath was stagnant.

Ling Suihan slowly approached and gave the standard courtesy: "Mrs. Xiao." Xiao Yuexi didn't know what mood he was in when he said these three words, of course, she couldn't think that far.

Xiao Yuexi chuckled lightly and said with a bit of ridicule: "Don't come here with me, if you have something to say, get out of here if you have nothing to do!" Didn't you look at people annoying? ”

Ling Suihan: "Weichen wants to ask, when did you get infected with the epidemic?" ”

"That's it." Xiao Yuexi said casually. "I didn't want to mention it, but I checked with Imperial Doctor Li, and it seems that the pot of wine you gave me is more suspicious - yes, if you don't say it, I forgot it, and I should confirm this matter with Chengfeng."

Ling Suihan's gaze became complicated, and after a while, he asked slowly, "So Weichen is very suspicious, right?" ”

Xiao Yuexi smiled: "I didn't rush to make a conclusion, and you started to put on your head?" ”

Ling Zhengzhi paused slightly, the bitterness in his eyes flashed, and he said calmly: "Mrs. Xiao naturally believes that there are more people who believe in the emperor, so it can only be Weichen who is the most suspicious. What is Madame waiting for? ”

Xiao Yuexi raised her eyebrows, looked at him with interest for a while, and suddenly raised her voice: "What do others think has to do with you?" Ling Zhengzhi, what do you think? The enemy can't be found in the shadows, how long are you going to stand by and watch? After so many years of training in the Department of Supervision and State, have you learned to play with a child's temper? ”

“…… Wechen didn't play a child's temper. Ling Sui said in a cold and depressed manner.

Xiao Yuexi sneered: "No? So what are you doing here? Carrying this black cauldron for those who want my life? ”
