Chapter 82: The Disease
The knife was not found in the stone cave, and Yu Ruyan thought that maybe the knife returned to the bungalow after the search of the palace's nursing home, after all, the weather in early spring was too cold outside.
Yu Ruyan quickly came to her small bungalow, but when she opened the door with a happy face, she found that there was no knife in the bungalow, and her heart panicked!
Where did the knife go? He's still wounded? Won't be caught now!
Yu Ruyan's heart became a mess, but at this moment, Chen's mother next door came over, winked at her and said, "You haven't had breakfast early in the morning, why don't you come to my house to eat together, it just happened to be a freshly steamed steamed bun." ”
Yu Ruyan saw the gesture in Chen's mother's eyes clearly, and suddenly understood in her heart, and followed Chen's mother to her house without stopping.
When he opened the door and went in, the knife was indeed inside, but Uncle Chen was not in the room.
Xiaodao leaned on the bed with a gloomy face, his expression was in a trance as if he had lost his soul, Yu Ruyan entered the room and didn't even call him twice, until she sat in front of him, stretched out her hand and shook it in front of him, but he was suddenly startled, as if he was greatly frightened, looked at Yu Ruyan in a daze, and it took a long time to come back to her senses and call her sister in a panic.
Yu Ruyan had never seen Xiao Guo Dao's depressed appearance, thinking that he was frightened by what happened last night, and hurriedly comforted in a whisper: "It's okay, Xiao Dao, it's all over, Brother An was also rescued by me, now stay in the Wuwei Medical Center, don't worry." ”
As if he hadn't heard her, the knife stared at the nothingness in front of him in a daze, his brows furrowed tightly, as if he had fallen into a predicament.
Chen's mother went to the kitchen outside to make breakfast, and there was no one else in the room, Yu Ruyan asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?" What happened last night? ”
Hearing this, Xiaodao's expression froze, as if he had woken up from a terrible nightmare, he looked at Yu Ruyan blankly with dark eyes open for a long time, his lips fluttered with difficulty, as if he had a thousand words in his heart but didn't know how to say them.
"Knife, what's wrong with you, are you sick?" From the moment she entered the door, Yu Ruyan obviously felt the strange changes in the knife, she reached out uncomfortably to touch the knife's forehead, but she didn't expect him to dodge it all at once.
In the past, as long as she stretched out her hand, the knife would definitely be next to her hand, but today······
Yu Ruyan's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, at a loss, and there was a trace of loss in her heart for no reason.
The next second, the knife came back to her senses, grabbed the hand she was about to withdraw, and said eagerly: "Sister, I'm sorry, I was confused just now." ”
After that, his expression returned to normal, and he gently rubbed his face in the palm of her hand as usual, and told Yu Ruyan about the afterlife last night.
It turned out that after the knife hid in the stone cave last night, he was followed by someone secretly sent by Mu Ziyue, and he was about to go back to report that he had alarmed the knife, and the knife endured the pain and fought with him, but unfortunately it was inconvenient for his legs and feet to be injured, and he was not the opponent of that person at all.
Although the man died under Uncle Chen's knife, Uncle Chen still didn't worry about leaving the knife alone in the garden, and after the fight just now, the wound bandaged by the knife cracked open again, so Uncle Chen insisted on pulling him half bundled and half dragged to his room······
After hearing what the knife said, Yu Ruyan's eyes revealed deep doubts - what is the relationship between Uncle Chen and the knife, why did he risk death to save the knife again and again?
Now that he's not in the house, he's probably dealing with the body of the person he's tracking!
Seeing Yu Ruyan looking at him with a deep face, a panicked look flashed on his face, and he suddenly shouted: "Oops, I haven't eaten for a day, I'm so hungry." I smell the smell of steamed buns, so my sister can help me get a few of them. ”
Yu Ruyan was suspicious, but there was no way to know at the moment, so she had to put it aside for the time being, thinking about how to quietly send the knife out of the house, and send him to Yue Yu She was relieved.
was eating steamed buns, Uncle Chen came back, saw Yu Ruyan was slightly stunned, and didn't wait for her to open her mouth and said in a muffled voice: "You tell me where he lives outside the house, I have my own way to send him out, you don't care." ”
Uncle Chen did what he said, and in the afternoon, Yu Ruyan received news from him that the knife had arrived safely at the Wuwei Medical Center.
The apricot blossoms in the okra courtyard are blooming very well, and the white powder is very beautiful. There was a beauty couch under the flower tree, An Lan was half lying on the couch, covered with a thin blanket, and half-closed her eyes to listen to Yuan'er's report on the garden last night.
Yuan'er did not miss a word from beginning to end and told her in detail, An Lan listened, sat up slowly, let the thin blanket on her body slide to the ground and ignored it, a pair of gentle eyes suddenly shining!
"That assassin must have been in the palace at that time, but it's a pity that Miss Mu was too anxious." Taking the black chicken soup handed by Yuan'er, An Lan took two sips and said slowly.
"How does the master know?" Yuan'er really admired her master more and more, and felt that she couldn't hide anything from her eyes.
An Lan smiled when she heard this, her expression unconsciously brought a little smugness, and sneered: "I think that Mu Ziyue wants to take the assassin and the in front of His Highness, but she is also a little stupid, not only is she stupid, but she also thinks that her opponent is stupid like herself." That has always had the most ghost ideas, just think about it, even if she really had a connection with the assassin, she wouldn't be stupid enough to stuff him in her room and wait for Mu Ziyue to come and catch turtles in the urn. ”
Yuan'er suddenly came to a trance, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "According to the master's guess, is that cheap maid really an accomplice to the assassin?" ”
An Lan's eyebrows tightened, frowned and thought about it, and said coldly: "I don't know about this yet, but I hope it's true!" After finishing speaking, he raised his eyebrows and lay down again to close his eyes and recuperate.
While speaking, the little girl at the door came in lightly, and whispered something to Yuan'er, Yuan'er was slightly stunned when she heard the words, and her eyes involuntarily glanced at the door, and after seeing the figure of the person who came, she reprimanded impatiently: "Don't pay attention to her, how many times have you been here, you have come again, you are really cheeky!" ”
Her muttering sound was heard in An Lan's ears, and seeing that the little girl was about to drive the future away, An Lan suddenly thought of something, sat up and said, "Wait, let her in!" ”
Looking at the woman in front of her, just a glance, An Lan had clearly felt the difference between her this time-
In the past, every time she entered the okra courtyard, she lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to the eyes, and she was careful to bow down, but this time, she stood in front of An Lan, her expression was natural and casual, neither humble nor arrogant, and there was a little excitement in her slightly flashing eyes.
An Lan's eyes lit up.
"Slave Yanfei to my aunt to say goodbye."
Chen Yanfei's body was as delicate as a willow and was about to bend down and was stopped by An Lan, she looked her up and down with half-squinted eyes, and said with a gentle smile: "My sister came this time, what is the matter with me?" ”
"Auntie, did you sleep well last night?" Yan Fei asked obediently.
An Lan raised her eyebrows, the smile on her face became stronger, and she said slowly: "The house was very lively last night, it is estimated that few people can sleep, and my sister is afraid that she will not sleep all night!" ”
Yan Fei didn't hide it, Ling Ling smiled and said: "Auntie is really like a god, the slave maid was really busy all night last night, but fortunately, she gained a lot, so she came to find her early in the morning." ”
After that, she took out the things on her body and showed them in front of An Lan, and when she looked at it, it was a few strips of blood-stained cloth.
An Lan had already understood it in her heart, but Yuan'er said with a confused and disgusted face: "Early in the morning, you brought these dirty things to the master to see what it was, it's really disgusting!" ”
Chen Yanfei smiled indifferently: "Sister Yuan'er, don't dislike it, this is something I worked so hard to get." ”
An Lan smiled with satisfaction, squinted her eyes and said to Yuan'er: "Yes, don't underestimate these strips of cloth, these are the wounds left by the assassin last night, you look carefully, the fabric and embroidery of this fabric are torn from the woman's clothes, if you can follow the vine, are you afraid that you won't be able to find the assassin's accomplices in the palace?" ”
Before Yuan'er could recover from the shock, Yan Fei was already convinced: "Aunt is really smart, and nothing can pass your eyes." ”
An Lan looked at Yan Fei in front of her with admiration on her face, and said with a smile: "My sister has made a great contribution this time, but——"
Her tone changed and she said coldly: "Why didn't my sister ask His Highness for credit or give it to Miss Mu if she got this strong evidence, the matter of the garden last night can be directly related to them." You came to me, but I don't quite understand what you mean. With that, his eyes flickered and he looked at her for a moment.
Chen Yanfei was stunned, his brows furrowed, and his expression flashed with a few embarrassments-
In the end, this matter involves his father and mother, if he lets His Royal Highness or Mu Fu know that his father helped Yu Ruyan to cover the assassin together, he is afraid that his father's life will not be guaranteed.
Most importantly, her purpose is not to expose the Assassin, but-
She breathed a sigh of relief, the cold light flashed in her eyes, so fast that people couldn't notice it, and said with a hearty smile: "I don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, how can my aunt be extremely smart and can't see through the little thoughts of the slave?" Regardless of who the Assassin was connected to, the slave only wanted to use the evidence to make a small deal with his aunt. ”
An Lan had already expected what she was thinking, her eyes darkened, but she smiled kindly on her face, waved her hand to let Yuan'er accept the cloth strip, and said firmly: "Deal!" ”
"Doesn't my aunt ask the slave what she wants?" Seeing An Lan so refreshing, Chen Yanfei couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
"Heh, I can't even guess this thought, what kind of ability to be the housewife of this palace? However, I made it clear in advance that I can only help you enter Yunsong Courtyard, and as for what you will do later, it depends on your own ability. ”
Hearing this, Chen Yanfei was ecstatic in his heart, and couldn't help but bend down and thank: "Thank you aunt for your help." ”
"But I don't know anything!" The breeze blew, An Lan reached out to catch the white petals falling above her head, and said in an indifferent tone: "If I remember correctly, these fabrics match the dress that your good sister Xiaoqing wore yesterday." ”
After a pause, she looked at Chen Yanfei's slightly changing face and continued: "You should clearly understand that if these fabrics let His Highness or Mu Ziyue know what the consequences will be, I am afraid that ······ Heh, you and she have always been good friends and sisters, why do you want to do such a poisonous hand behind your back this time? ”
Chen Yanfei's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Auntie, don't laugh at me, I'm afraid that there is no woman in this mansion who doesn't want her to die." ”
Looking at the ruthlessness on her face, An Lan's eyes flashed, and the compelling cold light flashed, and she smiled lightly on her face: "What do you mean by my sister's words?" ”
Chen Yanfei's big round eyes were awe-inspiring, and he sneered: "If she doesn't die, even if she inherits His Highness's body, she won't be able to enter His Highness's heart, so what's the point?" ”
After Chen Yan flew away, An Lanfu lay down under the couch again, and Yuan'er gently helped her on the side to hammer her shoulder, and said unconvinced: "I haven't become a master yet, but my tone is very big, my ambition is not small, and I still want to dominate His Highness's heart, which is really arrogant." ”
An Lan seemed to be asleep and didn't say a word about Yuan'er's words.
Yuan'er knew that she hadn't slept, so she couldn't help but say anxiously: "Master, this is not easy to bring down the one in Chai Ziluo Courtyard, and now there is another person who is peeping at His Highness, and his ambition is greater than that of Ziluo Courtyard, so the master has to think carefully about the idea to prevent her from succeeding." ”
The eyes of the person on the couch suddenly opened, his eyes were cold, and he said coldly: "Don't worry, I'm worried that this palace has been too quiet recently." If there is suddenly an extra aunt in the house who has outstanding interests and attracts everyone's attention, then - we will not be so dazzling. ”
Early the next morning, Yu Ruyan went out of the house to visit Xiaodao and Brother An at the Wuwei Medical Center.
The arrow wound of the knife was no longer in serious trouble after Yue Yu re-medicated and bandaged it, but the afterbirth on Brother An's body could not be taken out, which made Yue Yu very troubled.
In the end, he took a risk and thought of a way, and after careful discussion with Yu Ruyan, he began to do it.
Yue Yu used a silver needle to seal the blood veins associated with the birthplace and the body, and the afterbirth survived without the body's blood supply, gradually dried up in the body, and finally fell off into a lump and left the body to be excreted.
The needle application process is extremely difficult, in order to seal the bloodline, the silver needle must be left on Brother An's body until the afterbirth falls out, for half a month, Brother An's lower abdomen is inserted with silver needles day and night, and Yue Yu has also been guarding her side without sleep in order to prevent the silver needles from falling off.
Finally, after half a month of hard work, the clothes in Brother An's body finally broke away from his body and freed him from the worries of life!
When Yue Yu was helped out of the room by Qingcha, Yu Ruyan and Xiaodao were guarding the door with a anxious face, and the early morning light shone on Yue Yu's pale and transparent face, with a faint brilliance, and her bright eyes were full of fatigue at the moment, and she was walking with Qingcha.
Looking at his weak and tired appearance, Yu Ruyan's heart was full of gratitude and guilt, his body was already sick, if it weren't for the promise that she would cure Brother An, he wouldn't have worked so hard!
Before Yu Ruyan's words of gratitude could be spoken, Yue Yu already knew her intentions, smiled at her, and said with difficulty: "It's successful, go in and see her!" ”
Hearing this, Yu Ruyan's whole body was stunned, and the next second she couldn't stop cheering, she ran into the room, only to see Brother An lying quietly on the bed, although his face was full of fatigue like Yue Yu, but his eyes were also irrepressibly happy.
"Thank you, Princess!" An Ge took Yu Ruyan's hand for a long time and refused to let go, and thanked him with tears.
Yu Ruyan put her head on her forehead in distress, and said with a smile: "Silly girl, thank me for what you do?" It's all the credit of Yue Gongzi and yourself, it's really hard for you to persist for so many days. ”
The illness is light. Brother An's mood has not been so comfortable and happy for a long time, she didn't care about her fatigue, sat up and pulled Yu Ruyan and said seriously: "Princess, Yue Gongzi's medical skills are so good, why don't you let him help you take a look······"
She didn't say what she said below, but Yu Ruyan knew what she wanted to say, so she couldn't help but shake her head and said lonely: "No need." I think that the master spent so much effort for me back then and couldn't help me heal, so why bother Yue Gongzi to hurt my mind for me, he is already weak······"
Brother An thought of the cold treatment of Yu Ruyan by the people of Qi Kingdom, and thought of the princess who was saddled with the crime of being an 'ominous person', but the princess who was obviously a golden princess was worse than a maid!
"Princess, everything can't be generalized, maybe the prince Yue knows how to cure the disease without tears! If you are cured of your illness and make you cry like ordinary people, I believe that no one will dare to call you an ominous person in the future. ”
In order to persuade Yu Ruyan, Brother An was so anxious that he didn't choose what to say, and when he realized that he was anxious to say the wrong thing, he hurriedly asked Yu Ruyan for his guilt.
"Princess······· The slave didn't mean it! ”
"Nothing!" Yu Ruyan helped her lie down again, her eyes were calm and there was no wave, and she said indifferently: "I was born without tears, this matter is no longer a secret, and my father did not deliberately cover it up for me, over the years, because of no tears, everyone regarded me as an ominous person, insulted and beaten, and sneered at me I have experienced numbness, and it has become a habit after numbness, so what is there to care about!" ”
The early spring sun shines through the window lattice, casting a halo on her, and her thin figure is submerged in the halo, feeling ethereal and unreal. Brother An felt the coldness of her fingers, and his heart ached slightly, and tears almost came out-
"Princess ······"
"Take good care of yourself, I'll come to see you again when I have time!" Yu Ruyan smiled and patted her hand, turned around and left gently.
Walking out of Brother An's house, she thought about it, turned around and walked towards the backyard, Qingcha was guarding the door of the backyard, and when she saw her come in, she snorted angrily, and ignored her.
Seeing that she was going to her son-in-law's room, Qingcha stepped forward and stretched out her hand to stop her, and said coldly: "Son-in-law is so tired that he is about to collapse, you can go quickly, don't bother him again!" ”
"Let her in!" Yue Yu's weak and struggling voice came from inside the room.
Qingcha glared at her angrily, and she didn't want her to go in and disturb her son-in-law's rest, but Yue Yu didn't dare not listen to her words, and she withdrew her hand very unwillingly.
Yu Ruyan hesitated, but when she thought of the worry in her heart, she couldn't help but push the door and go in.
The slightly drowsy room was lit with soothing incense, and the room was very simple, except for a long table in the middle and a warm couch by the window, and only a whole wall of books remained on the east wall.
In the early spring weather, the charcoal fire was still burning in the room, Yue Yu leaned on the couch with a thick quilt, and a black porcelain square cup was placed in front of him, steaming with a trace of heat, and a bad smell of medicine diffused in the room.
When she entered, Yue Yu happened to pick up the square cup to drink the medicine, as if he was startled by the wind leaking in when he opened the door, he suddenly coughed violently, the medicine cup in his hand trembled, and the thick black decoction spilled out, drenching him, and the snow-white cotton robe was suddenly stained with a large piece.
Ignoring the stains on his body, Yue Yu arched his body and coughed heartbreakingly, his pale face turned red, his body curled up uncomfortably, his hand tightly clasped his placket, and spit out a mouthful of blood with a 'poof'.
Yu Ruyan was shocked, and was about to step forward, leaning over, Qingcha rushed in in a hurry, pushed her away to help, and said angrily: "Go away, don't get in the way." ”
Qingcha stepped forward, didn't bother to wipe the blood stains from the corners of Yue Yu's mouth, quickly took out a bottle of medicine from the drawer under the warm couch and fed it to Yue Yu's mouth, turned around and opened the needle bag again, picked out a thick silver needle and handed it to Yue Yu, looking extremely anxious and heartbroken.
"Master······
After taking the medicine, Yue Yu's coughing seemed to be reduced, but his face was purple, and he described it as very painful, Qingcha hurriedly tore open his clothes, and he himself took the silver needle and pierced it into his chest without hesitation-
"Ah······h The shout came out of Yu Ruyan's mouth, Yue Yu's hand froze, Qingcha saw it, turned around and glared at her fiercely, and said hatefully: "You go quickly, don't talk about it here, add to the chaos······"
"Qingcha, don't be unreasonable!" The next moment, the silver needle was withdrawn from his chest, Yue Yu's face suddenly looked much better, he sat down with difficulty and folded his clothes, and said to the panicked Yu Ruyan with embarrassment: "Scared you, right?" ”
Yu Ruyan looked at him with a pale face, he had only heard that he was in poor health before, but he didn't expect it to be so serious. She looked at him in a daze, and the respect in her heart spontaneously arose-
I am so weak and insist on seeing the poor people every day, this compassion and generosity are really commendable.
Thinking that he dragged such a body to stay by Brother An's bed without sleep for half a month, Yu Ruyan felt more guilty about him in her heart, and she couldn't say a word of gratitude.
Qingcha saw that Yue Yu had settled down, cleaned up the couch, and then changed Yue Yu into clean clothes, Yu Ruyan saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him change his clothes together.
I don't know if it's because he has been dealing with medicinal herbs for many years or because he has been drinking medicine all year round, Yue Yu's clothes have a faint fragrance of medicinal herbs. When Yu Ruyan helped him tidy up his sleeves, her hand accidentally touched his hand, and she only felt that the tentacles were cold, which made her heart skip a beat.
Yue Yu looked at her and smiled lightly, and said slowly: "Thank you, I hope it didn't scare you just now." ”
Yu Ruyan felt so guilty that she couldn't feel ashamed of herself, she stood there with her head down, and muttered, "How can Childe say thank you to me?" Just now I accidentally entered the house and brought in the wind to let Childe ······ Childe is better now? ”
Yue Yu smiled lightly, and said indifferently: "How can I blame you, I have an old problem, and it is like this when I come out of my mother's womb, I can't blame anyone." ”
Thinking of his own stabbing himself, Yu Ruyan's heart swelled with a sourness, and she said distressedly: "Childe's medical skills are extraordinary, can he cure his own illness?" ”
"Healers often can't heal themselves." He smiled bitterly, suddenly thought of something, his face became solemn, he looked at Yu Ruyan and said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, although I saved Brother An's life, I can't ······"
Before the words were spoken, Yu Ruyan already understood the meaning of his words, and her heart sank down-
