Chapter 126: My Aunt and Sister-in-law Meet
The corners of Xiao Yuexi's lips slowly raised, revealing a faint smile, but her eyes were cold, and she muttered: "How can people believe that he didn't do it......"
Mu Yun was stunned and asked, "Do you know who it is?" ”
Xiao Yuexi nodded: "Soon after you left that day, I was a little sleepy, and I was about to sleep but I noticed the danger. ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Yuexi paused, as if she didn't really want to say that name. Mu Yunqing was unaware of it, and blurted out, "Who is it?" ”
"Ling Suihan." Xiao Yuexi said the name indifferently and analyzed: "If it is really him, all this is reasonable, he is already suspicious, although we still don't know his intention to do this." He is the only one who can understand all the trivial matters of the Pingnan Hou Mansion so thoroughly, but ......" Xiao Yuexi frowned and paused, and then wondered: "I don't understand, why did he have such a big eye at this juncture?" And why did I realize it? ”
Mu Yun glanced at her and tasted: "I think you will believe him!" ”
Xiao Yuexi was stunned for a while, and it took a long time to react, and she couldn't help laughing, and teased: "Your Majesty...... It's so sour! Xiao Yuexi straightened his expression before continuing: "Whether he is confident or deliberately misleading us, since he sent us this clue, we always have to check it down." ”
Mu Yun asked lightly: "What about after that?" You've been missing for five days, and you've been unconscious all the time? ”
"So long?" Xiao Yuexi was a little surprised at first, and then said: "The stamina of the drug is very strong, and I don't have much strength for a long time after I wake up." I could vaguely tell that I was locked up in a very small room, and that every once in a while someone would come to bring me food, and they were probably afraid that I would estimate the time, so the delivery person came irregularly...... The person who delivered the meal was a woman of no small age, whom I had never seen before, and who was dressed like an ordinary rough servant. And yes, huh...... In the past few days, the diet has been mixed with cartilage powder, and I can smell it, and the other party seems to have made up his mind to pay attention, either he will be poisoned and unable to move if he eats it obediently, or he will be so hungry that he can't move. I don't know how the drug was developed before I was taken away, and it took a long time to disperse, and people didn't have much strength to toss......"
As she spoke, Xiao Yuexi noticed that Mu Yunqing's expression was a little wrong, and hurriedly said, "It sounds a little bitter, but I'm still back, right?" ”
After saying this, Xiao Yuexi felt that it was useless, so she had to divert the topic and continue: "This is also the reason why I haven't been able to escape these days, but except for the woman who delivered the meal, I haven't seen anyone else, and the house is very dark and not very ventilated, which can suffocate me for the past few days." ”
The more relaxed she said, the more ugly Mu Yunqing's face became, and it took a while before she spoke: "What happened later?" What were your signs before you were sent back? ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Yuexi's expression was not good-looking, she gritted her teeth and said: "The room is not ventilated, they put some smoke in, I can't prevent it, and I will be here when I wake up." ”
Mu Yun got up lightly, poured her a cup of hot water again, and let her hold it to warm her hands, and then said: "Li Ran's pulse diagnosis also diagnosed that you have traces of Chinese medicine, but did not mention your old illness, do you have any discomfort now?" ”
"No......" Xiao Yuexi said helplessly. Don't worry about me now, this is so bizarre, we need to prevent what they do next! ”
Mu Yun glanced at her deeply before he spoke: "Okay, let's quickly exchange information, and then take you back to the palace to recuperate." ”
Xiao Yuexi casually replied "um", only then did she react to what Mu Yun said lightly, and said strangely: "Did you find anything?" ”
Mu Yun said lightly: "Do you think I've really just been wandering around like a headless fly for the past five days?" ”
It turned out that Mu Yunqing had not gained nothing in the past few days, and his leg naturally could not have been injured by falling off a horse in the middle of the night, but he had a fight with someone.
As soon as he left the city that night, he encountered a wave of interceptions, but fortunately, the accompanying Imperial Forest Army was personally selected by Qiong Lou, although he was injured a lot, but he also protected Mu Yun lightly. After that, Mu Yunqing blocked the news and returned to the palace to recuperate, and secretly activated Zangfeng Pavilion to chase the whereabouts of the gang at the moment, and accidentally found that this group of people was related to the people who assassinated Xiao Yuexi several times before, and the other party deliberately released so many clues, and there was no movement.
Mu Yun recuperated for two days, secretly asked people to feel the general situation, and then continued to go out of the city to search, but he was never intercepted again, but he found other interesting things - Ling Suihan, who was supposed to be under house arrest in Lingfu, showed his traces in the suburbs of Beijing.
Xiao Yuexi: "...... That means this man did go out, right? ”
Mu Yun nodded lightly: "Well, and his whereabouts are also very cleverly revealed, 'accidentally' encountered our horse team speeding in the distance, and 'unintentionally' dodged and couldn't let a guard find out, and when we traced and chased, he hid without a trace......"
Xiao Yuexi sneered: "I don't believe that there are so many 'unintentional' in the world, Yun Qing, do you want to check him?" ”
"You don't have to worry about that." Mu Yun said lightly. "How do you feel? If you are better, go and meet your sister-in-law, and then we will go back to the palace. You fell outside the back door of the Hou Mansion, she was afraid that she was frightened, if it weren't for me and Li Ran trying to persuade her, she would probably have to stay here until you wake up! ”
Although he knew that Xiao Yuexi would definitely want to jump three feet high to prove that he was very good after hearing these words, Mu Yunqing still couldn't help but say it, and sure enough, Xiao Yuexi's eyes flashed with melancholy, and he turned over and put on the cloak on the shelf and rushed out.
When he walked to the door of Ji Bingxin's room, he was just in time for Li Ran to send the decoction medicine, and when he saw Xiao Yuexi, he was also stunned. Then he said calmly: "The person is awake, you can go in." ”
As he spoke, he also handed the medicine bowl to Xiao Yuexi, the meaning was obvious.
Mu Yun also said: "Talk slowly, I'll be outside guarding." ”
Xiao Yuexi nodded slowly, and walked in cautiously with a medicine bowl with red eyes.
Ji Bingxin was leaning against the head of the bed, her belly was already very big, but she was still so thin, I really don't know how her weak body could afford the child in her womb. Rao is like this, when she saw Xiao Yuexi, she still abided by the etiquette and wanted to bow to the ground.
Xiao Yuexi hurriedly put down the medicine bowl and pressed her, and said in a somewhat anxious tone: "Sister-in-law, don't move, and there are no outsiders, what are you doing with me and these false courtesies!" ”
Ji Bingxin stubbornly said: "There is a difference between respect and inferiority, it has been the same since ancient times, ......"
"Don't move! That's an order. Xiao Yuexi helplessly suppressed her with her identity, and said: "Sister-in-law, if you want to worship today, then I will only kneel for a long time!" As she spoke, she really knelt straight in front of the couch, which scared Ji Bingxin more and more flustered, but she didn't dare to bow down after all.
Xiao Yuexi helped her back on the cushion, handed her the medicine and said, "Drink it quickly, it will be cold in a while." ”
"Hmm." Ji Bingxin drank medicine and Xiao Yuexi saved a lot of effort, and after drinking it dry, Xiao Yuexi rinsed her mouth with the water she handed her, and then couldn't help but say again: "You have been named a lady by the emperor, you shouldn't be so unruly again, a few days ago you went to Binzhou with Dali Temple, this kind of thing is unheard of, don't be so reckless in the future, let people catch any handles, and it will not be beneficial to yourself." ”
If it was in the past, Xiao Yuexi would not have had the patience to listen to her sister-in-law say so much in one breath, but at this time, Xiao Yuexi surprisingly did not refute it, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles, and there was no impatience at all.
Ji Bingxin was not very accustomed to it and said: "The courtiers have trespassed, I hope Mrs. Don't care." ”
Xiao Yuexi looked at her steadily, and only after a while did she say awkwardly: "Sister-in-law...... You've worked hard for so many years! ”
She lowered her gaze and looked at Ji Bing's round belly, and carefully covered her hand, and the little guy inside kicked it very cooperatively, and Xiao Yuexi's eyes immediately turned red. "Thank you...... Thank you, sister-in-law......"
Ji Bing panicked: "Madam, don't cry......"
Who knew that because of this claim, Xiao Yuexi's tears were not stopped for a while, and they flowed even more violently, and after a while, she sobbed and asked, "Does my eldest brother know?" ”
"Although there is no war in the south at the moment, there is also a hidden turbulence, and the courtiers don't want to distract the marquis, so they haven't told me yet." Ji Bingxin said calmly.
Xiao Yuexi also guessed that the character of her sister-in-law must be this result. Ji Bingxin is such a tepid character, he is low-key, cautious and has no sense of existence, and his tone is very strict, and he only knows it in the palace for seven months, let alone the southern realm.
Xiao Yuexi sniffed and said, "No, I should let my eldest brother know, and I will go back to the emperor and let my eldest brother go back to Beijing." ”
"Don't mess around!" Ji Bingxin hurriedly said. "Master Hou has an important position, how can he leave his post without permission? Madame should not open this mouth to the emperor, so as not to tell the truth. ”
Xiao Yuexi almost couldn't hold back the tears she couldn't hold back, she was like this, thinking about this and that, but she never wanted to think about herself.
Xiao Yuexi said resolutely: "He didn't stay with you for such a big event as childbirth, and he will regret it for the rest of his life in the future, sister-in-law, you can listen to me about this matter." ”
Ji Bingxin hooked the corners of his mouth, revealing an extremely warm smile, and said softly: "Madam...... It's really different from before! ”
Xiao Yuexi said curiously: "What's the difference? "No, it's still the same, it doesn't make you worry?
Ji Bingxin said: "I haven't seen each other for a long time, but the courtiers actually feel that Mrs. has grown up a lot, and it is still a little bad when you think about it." The courtiers have been looking forward to you being sensible and growing up, but when you really grow up, you feel a little distressed......"
"Sister-in-law, you sincerely want to see me cry today, right?" Xiao Yuexi choked up.
