Chapter 128: The lamp runs out
That night, after Ruxu coaxed the peach blossoms to sleep, he took advantage of the night to go through the bamboo forest to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and discussed what happened in Tianxiang Pavilion with Wang Duzhi and Shi Shi next door to Rumo's house.
"The mastermind behind him killed people and killed people, and the methods were cruel and decisive, and there was no one left alive." Ruxu gave a conclusion.
"I suspect they used sulfuric acid to kill people." Senior Sister looked at Ruxu seriously, "This means ......"
It means that there may be another time-traveler in this world, and he is likely to be their enemy.
"The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth. Senior sister, we have no other way. Ruxu looked at Senior Sister and suddenly showed a relaxed smile. That's a sign of joy in suffering.
When did he and Wang Duzhi look at each other, I don't know what the two of them are talking about, but the topic sounds very serious, and they are not easy to interject.
"No matter what the situation is, we have to find a way to heal my uncle and do our best." Wang Duzhi said.
"To treat severe mercury poisoning, you need modern medical equipment and advanced medical standards...... "Senior Sister looked at Ruxu at this time, "Ruxu, you have to be mentally prepared." ”
Ruxu lowered his head with tears in his eyes and did not speak.
"What do you mean by that?" Wang Duzhi felt unacceptable. In Wang Duzhi's consciousness, he has regarded Rumo as his mother, he couldn't save his mother when his mother died, and now Rumo can't save it, he can't accept this thing.
Ru Xu's tears dripped down the robe, from the time she saw Rumo, suspected that she was mercury poisoning every day after that. They are all praying sincerely, don't be mercury poisoning, don't. When the time came for them to look for evidence, she held out a glimmer of hope. Maybe it's not cinnabar, it's caused by other conditions.
Then Rumo can still be saved.
But if it is mercury poisoning, in this era, death is almost certain.
"Big brother!" Ruxu hugged Wang Duzhi and cried into tears. Wang Duzhi held his head high and gently hugged her, tears streaming down his cheeks.
At this moment, a girl knocked on the door several times in a hurry. As soon as she opened the door of the house, the girl said anxiously with tears on her face, "Childe, hurry up and see Madame!" Her body was shaking all the time, and she looked very uncomfortable! ”
Several people immediately got up and rushed to the next room. Rumo lay on the bed suppressing the pain, one hand pressing the other, trembling. Ruxu couldn't bear to look at her anymore, buried his head in the shoulder of the senior sister and cried in a low voice.
Wang Duzhi walked over and sat on the edge of Rumo's bed, seeing her struggling breathing, her mouth opening and closing with a dry crack, as if she was saying something.
"Uncle, what did you say?" Wang Duzhi leaned over to listen.
Rumo's voice was already like a gossamer, and it took a long time to say a sentence, "Yun...... ...... children"
Seeing her like this, Wang Duzhi couldn't bear to let her suffer anymore. He held Rumo's hand, leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Uncle, Yun'er is not dead, she came back alive." ”
So he called Ru Xu over and handed Ru Mo's hand to Ru Xu. Ru Mo's withered hand was held in Ru Xu's hand, and Ru Xu repeatedly rubbed the back of her palm with her fingers, and tears kept flowing.
"Talk to your aunt and let her go with peace of mind." Wang Duzhi raised his sleeve and wiped his tears.
Ruxu sniffed, leaned over to Rumo's ear, and said softly, "Mother, I'm back, Yun'er is back......"
At this point, he couldn't stop crying, and his voice was cut off again. After a while, I saw Rumo reluctantly open his eyes a slit, looked at Ruxu, opened and closed his mouth and shouted silently, "Yun'er......"
She seemed to have really seen the old Tiyun in front of her eyes, and she was smiling and calling her mother.
"It's me, it's me! The daughter is not filial, and now she is back to see her mother! Ruxu knocked his head down, and his forehead touched Rumo's hand.
Rumo's hand moved, stretched out his fingers and gently brushed her hair, and then suddenly hung down weakly.
"Mother! Mother, mother......" Ruxu opened her mouth and kept breathing, she couldn't breathe from crying. The cry was hoarse, and those who heard it were all grieved. Wang Duzhi stood in place, knelt down slowly, and buckled his head heavily.
When is it, he and Senior Sister bowed to Rumo's corpse.
At this time, Wang Pu suddenly rushed in from outside the door, and he walked to Rumo's bed one by one, "Rumo, Rumo!" What happened to you? Ink......"
"You, you ......" Wang Pu burst into tears, "Say okay, let's go together!" Why did you just leave? What should I do with Tingying? ”
Suddenly the room was full of crying, the maids and servants sobbed in low voices, and the senior sister was buried in her arms and cried lowly.
In the end, the mother-in-law came to change Rumo's clothes and helped her put on makeup.
Ruxu and Wang Pu also recognized each other, but the two were not happy at all. The two sat down speechless, and Ru Xu opened his mouth first, "Dad, you have to take care of yourself, my sister still needs you to raise you." ”
Before Ru Xu's words fell, the nurse hugged Wang Tingying, who was crying hoarsely, and hurriedly ran in from outside.
Wang Tingying is three years old this year, and a cinnabar mole appeared on her eyebrows. As if she had a feeling, she kept crying in a dumb voice to find her mother, and the nurse hugged her to Wang Pu, who hugged her and cried for a while.
Ruxu hugged Ting Ying from Wang Pu's arms, Ting Ying's eyes were swollen from crying, and her throat was dry and coughing. Ruxu fed her some water, hugged her and patted her on the back.
"Gu Tu is not afraid, I am my sister, and you will have a sister in the future......" Ruxu gently patted her back.
Strange to say, Tingying heard Ruxu's voice and slowly stopped sobbing. Maybe I was tired from crying, and I slowly fell asleep. But one of her little hands grabbed Ruxu's collar so hard that she couldn't break it.
Ruxu had no choice but to take off his clothes, and then handed his coat to the nurse with Tingying, and the nurse carried Tingying back to the room over there.
Rumo's body had been cleaned up, and everyone took another look, and Ruxu and Wang Duzhi solemnly kowtowed again.
"Mother, don't worry, I will definitely find out who is behind the scenes and give you an explanation." Ruxu said with tears in his eyes.
"What's behind that?" Wang Pu was in a coma for a long time, and now he woke up and didn't know anything. He hadn't come out of his grief yet, but he heard the word sensitively.
A few people went out of the outer room, sat down and began to tell Wang Pu about what had happened in the past few days.
"Dad, think about it, but who did you offend in the court?" Ruxu frowned.
"My uncle has always been as wise as me in the court, and he shouldn't have offended anyone." Wang Duzhi saw that Wang Pu didn't seem to have a clue, so he helped him answer.
"It seems...... There is such one. Wang Pu's eyes were heavy, "Although I don't participate in the party of the prince and the prince in the court, I always have to defend my own ideas, and I will still make enemies to some extent." Among them, the most tense relationship should be Uncle Guo. ”
"However, although Uncle Guo disagrees with my political views, he is a righteous man, and I still respect him very much." Wang Pu shook his head, "This matter can't be instigated by him. ”
"This uncle is the brother of the former queen?" Ru Xu was a little puzzled.
"The first queen died early, and the harem has always been controlled by Concubine An. Concubine An Guifei is the princess of Dongyang Kingdom, and her mother's family is strong. So much so that for so many years, there was no queen in the palace, only she was the head. Today's Uncle Guo is her younger brother, I heard that Concubine An Gui married Nan Chengguo far away, and Uncle Guo couldn't give up her, so he came with him. Wang Pu said.
"Dongyang Kingdom is 108,000 miles away from Nancheng Kingdom, and no matter how strong Concubine An's mother's family is, it is impossible to reach out to Kyoto." As Xu said, "There is no queen in the palace, and she should be honored, and it should have nothing to do with her mother's family...... If this is the case, then this Concubine An's methods can be said to be very powerful. ”
A noble concubine, who controls the harem, occupies the queen's bedroom, and is the main queen. has been like this for more than 20 years, which is by no means something that ordinary women can do.
"But since she is so powerful, why don't you just sit on the throne of the queen?" Senior Sister asked.
"I don't know." Wang Pu said.
"Now we have no evidence, and the suspicion of anyone is just speculation, and we can't draw any conclusions." Wang Duzhi's official summary, "When will I use the forces in Beijing to track down Tianxiang Pavilion in many ways, and I will not let go of any clues." ”
When he nodded, he said to Ruxu again, "It will be dawn in two hours, so you should hurry back to the palace so as not to arouse suspicion." ”
Ruxu is reluctant to go. When she left, not only could she not come to the coffin, but she could not even attend the funeral. However, even if she doesn't leave, she can't participate in a minute and a half.
However, she had to go. She also has many missions and responsibilities that she needs to fulfill.
After a while, Ruxu got up and looked back at Rumo's room, lowered his head and closed his eyes, and apologized to Rumo in his heart.
I'm sorry mother, Yun'er can't attend your funeral.
After a while, he opened his eyes again, said goodbye to everyone, and left the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Ruxu returned to Nanwangfu, Jin Feng was still waiting for her in the back garden, and immediately followed her when he saw her back.
Because Xu Chongxin's ear power is excellent, in order to hide his ears, every time Ru Xu goes to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she first asks Jin Feng to help her harass Xu Chongxin. Of course, Jin Feng was actually very willing to harass him.
The two went back to the house and fell asleep, Ruxu's heart was very heavy, and he couldn't sleep all night.
However, the next day, she woke up early. She didn't sleep all night, she didn't feel sleepy, and when she got up, she stayed in the pavilion in the atrium. Qianwu went out and saw her and teased her. However, Ruxu is in a bad mood now, and he has no heart to laugh with him.
In the Chang'an Hall in this palace, Concubine An Guifei was admiring a few horses newly rewarded by the emperor, and Liuli came in from the outside and saluted, "Niangniang, the prime minister's wife is dead." ”
"Your cinnabar is really useful, no one will find it." An Guifei raised the corners of her mouth.
At this time, Yulu was concocting loquat paste for Concubine An in the back room, and she couldn't help but be stunned when she heard the news.
