Chapter 41: The Maze Wants to Ask
Pei Yao didn't think she was witty, but there were some things that she had seen before, and if she came again, there would naturally be nothing to panic about.
As soon as Xiyuan's mother-in-law rushed in today, she knew that Mrs. Zuo must be behind the scenes. Moreover, poisoning the food made by Mrs. Huan should have come for herself. Thinking that they would take precautions, but they would not prevent their mothers, they would be easy to get.
However, what Xiyuan didn't expect was that this unwarranted disaster fell on Xiangfangshi.
These days, Pei Yaowei can see that the people of Xiyuan have always relied on their identities and are clearly domineering, from Mrs. Zuo down, it is estimated that no one who can have this brain can plan such a poisonous plan.
"Girl, you're amazing!" Yu Zhi said: "If it weren't for the last moment, you forced the Zuo clan to slander the Queen Mother, and you would not have been willing to punish her severely even if the county prince took care of her children!" ”
Pei Yaoyan smiled faintly, and said in her heart: 'Climbing'? Zuo's is not a slander.
When Xiang Yinghuai got married a few days ago, Mrs. Zuo entered the palace and visited the queen mother of the two palaces. And this method of killing people with a knife is exactly what Empress Dowager Liang is good at!
- When Xiao Zhu first ascended the throne, the Holy Mother secretly manipulated the things given to Xiao Di by the Empress Dowager Li, intending to poison her parents and children by the hands of her mother.
Now it seems that this is just a repetition of the old trick under the instigation.
As for Mrs. Zuo, she was forced to be dizzy by herself, and she just wanted to tell the truth, and maybe she could escape. But she forgot that Xiao Di was there watching this farce, and she opened her mouth to pull the royal family, Xiang Tao just wanted to keep her, and she didn't dare to stay.
Sure enough, one morning not long after, as soon as the maid who delivered the meal entered the West Garden, she found Zuo's face lying on her stomach in front of the door, her body was cold, and she couldn't bat herself.
Xiang Tao gave her dignity to the outside world, only saying that she died of heart disease, and she was still buried in the ancestral grave with the gift of her stepfamily. And as soon as the Zuo family died like this, for a while, there was only one lady left in the back house of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
However, after becoming the master and wife of the house, Pei Yao looked at it coldly, but Mrs. Huan did not laugh because of this.
Even, she faintly felt that Mrs. Huan rejected more than liked the position of this wife.
In the small kitchen that day, when looking at Fang Shi's decoction, she took the opportunity to pull Juan Niang and asked, "I saw that my mother was not in good spirits these days, but she was too tired to take care of Fang Shi?" ”
Speaking of this, Juan Niang was very worried.
"Don't mention it, girl!" Juan Niang sighed: "Madame doesn't know what's going on these days, obviously the sixth girl is getting better, but when the slave maid sees it, Madame herself is becoming more and more depressed!" I don't know if it's because of the previous incident, it's better in front of my daughter during the day, but I can't sleep well at night! The slave and maid are so anxious that they can't do it, and Mrs. Bisheng won't let them mention, if you don't ask today, the slave and maid don't know what to do! ”
After hearing this, Yao Wei's doubts deepened.
There was no one around, she thought about it, and carefully tried with Juanniang: "My aunt is by her mother's side, and she is not young, right?" ”
Juan Niang was slightly stunned, and then sighed: "Yes! It is about the same age as the girl, and the year the lady entered the door, the slave and maid were assigned to serve by the lady's side, and in the blink of an eye, it has been eighteen years! ”
Why, is Juan Niang actually from the Xiang family......
Pei Yaowei was a little surprised.
She inquired early in the morning that the Huan family was the retainer of the Xiang family, the brother of Mrs. Huan, and the confidant of Xiang Tao. Although this lintel is not very high, it is not a small door. When she saw Mrs. Huan beside her, there was only one maid of the same age, so she always thought that Juan Niang was her maid in marriage.
Now it seems that there are some things that she wants to ask from Juan Niang, but she is afraid that she can't ask anything.
Later, Pei Yaowei personally brought the soothing soup to Mrs. Huan, and when she saw Mrs. Huan's expression, she persuaded: "My mother's spirit is really not very good these days, my daughter thinks, Mr. Yiyuan will come to give the sixth sister a follow-up tomorrow, why don't you also ask Mr. to give her mother a pulse, so you can feel at ease?" ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Huan's expression moved.
"You say tomorrow...... Will Mr. One Yuan come over? ”
Pei Yaowei nodded, and Mrs. Huan said, "Mr. saved Fang Shi's life, and I want to thank Mr. for my mother." ”
At noon the next day, the Chu Wangfu really sent people over.
After Mr. Yiyuan showed it to Xiang Fang, he only said that he would recuperate according to the prescription and recover in less than a month. Pei Yaowei thanked him earnestly, and then asked him to show his mother.
Mr. Yiyuan glanced at her with that single eye, "Little girl, are you using me as your own doctor?" ”
Pei Yao smiled and said: "How dare you little girl, just let you Zhuyu in front, I am a child, how can I be willing to let those who are not good at medicine take care of my mother!" ”
Mr. Yiyuan snorted, but did not refuse.
When Mrs. Huan saw Mr. Yiyuan, she was a little at a loss and a little excited, and in the process of exploring the pulse, she kept asking some questions that had nothing to do with medical Taoism.
"I don't know where Mr. is from?"
Mr. Yiyuan closed his eyes and said in a light tone: "Return to the east." ”
"Donggui County...... "Mrs. Huan thought thoughtfully, "It's very close to Beilin...... How old is the sir? ”
Mr. One Yuan paused and withdrew the hand that was on her wrist.
He didn't answer Mrs. Huan's question again, but said in a deep voice: "Madame's physical foundation is really not good, if you don't care about recuperation, I'm afraid it will be difficult to live a long life." ”
As if she hadn't heard him, Mrs. Huan persistently asked, "Has Sir ever been to the South?" ”
Pei Yao frowned, reminded her mother, turned her head to Mr. Yiyuan and said, "Sir, my mother's body is bothering you to take care of it." ”
The medicine boy packed up the medicine box, Mr. Yiyuan got up, and said to her: "What I can cure is the disease on my body, but Lingtang's illness is in my heart." ”
He was still wearing a hat on his head, and Pei Yaowei couldn't see his expression, but she just felt that Mr. Yiyuan was a little angry.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?"
After sending off Mr. Yiyuan, Pei Yaowei returned to Mrs. Huan and asked very puzzled.
Mrs. Huan was still a little distracted, and said perfunctorily: "No, not much." ”
"Nothing?" Pei Yao frowned, "Does my mother even want to hide her daughter?" ”
"Stop, stop!" Mrs. Huan obviously didn't want to say much, and hurriedly changed the conversation, "It's you, my mother has been neglecting to take care of you all these years, and seeing that you are about to get married, my mother was worried that the Chu Wangfu was not a good place to return, but that day I saw that the King of Chu was so anxious to protect you, my mother was a little ashamed in her heart, maybe ......."
"Maybe?"
Mrs. Huan smiled with relief and stroked her hair, "Now that I think about it, in the past, because of the matter between His Royal Highness the King of Chu and Empress Renyi, I felt that he would not treat you well, but it was the heart of a mother and a villain!" I hope His Royal Highness the King of Chu will be the same on the outside and on the outside, and he will really feel sorry for my daughter! ”
Pei Yao's ears moved, and he said tentatively: "Mother said this...... Could it be that you have met people who are not the same? ”
Mrs. Huan's face was stunned.
"Mother, my daughter has always wanted to ask," she mused, "how happy have you been marrying your father all these years?" ”
Joy......
These two words are already far away from her. Mrs. Huan was in a trance for a while.
She nodded vigorously, "Naturally, it's joyful." ”
"Your father has been very kind to his mother, and it is enough for him to serve by his side all these years."
Pei Yaowei didn't believe a word.
"Even if my father separates my mother from my mother and daughter, under the same roof, it is difficult to see each other, and my mother doesn't complain?" She asked, "It's the same daughter, my father hates me so much, I really ......."
Mrs. Huan's eyes were sour, and she saw tears, "Yu'er, over the years, you hate your mother, right?" ”
Pei Yao was stunned for a moment, and said with a light smile: "Why did my mother say that?" My daughter knows that my mother and I can't help ourselves, no matter how much I complain about heaven and others, I won't complain about my mother! ”
Mrs. Huan wiped her tears and grabbed her hand, "That day in Xiyuan, you called me 'madam' in a hurry, and I knew that you still complained about me from the bottom of your heart." I think you should blame me, I gave birth to you, but I couldn't protect you well, my mother is sorry for you, and I'm sorry for you-"
When Mrs. Huan said this, she suddenly stopped.
Pei Yao said keenly: "Sorry for whom?" ”
Mrs. Huan shook her head.
She said: "After all, all this is my mother's fault, Lu'er, don't blame your father, he ...... He also has no choice! ”
Do you have to do it? Pei Yao sneered in her heart.
How much affection does this have to be for a father to face his daughter?
She still can't believe it when she thinks about it now, if Xiao Di hadn't arrived in time that day, I wonder if she would have died again?
Xiao Di......
Does this mean that I owe him a lot?
That night, Li Lin knocked on the door and bowed, "Brother." ”
Xiao Di raised his eyes lightly, answered, and asked, "Have you found the person you are looking for?" ”
"It's all arranged, brother doesn't have to worry." Li Lin replied: "Brother, Princess Qi was assassinated on the way back to Beijing-"
Xiao Di looked up.
He continued: "Our people have secretly rescued people, and they are now placed in Changzhi, Li Bai is seriously injured, and he will probably return to Beijing to die soon." ”
"Who is the assassin ......?"
Li Lin shook his head: "I don't know yet, the person sent to track it has not yet returned." ”
He asked, "Is it safe to be merciful?" ”
"Rest assured, the assassin obviously took care of Princess Qi and did not hurt her in the slightest. Our people came forward when both sides were defeated, and Princess Qi and Changming Jian were safe and sound. ”
Xiao Di put his mind at ease and leaned back in his chair, "In other words, everyone outside thinks that Princess Qi is missing, and no one is missing from Changming Sword?" ”
Li Xiao bowed: "Exactly." ”
"In that case—" Xiao Di smiled faintly, "Then make good use of this opportunity to arrange a discord for His Majesty the Emperor." ”
"With Pan?"
He shook his head, "Kiss and leave." Pan's Yu Xiao has already changed from a great benefactor to a great enemy, and there is no need to do more. ”
Li Lin frowned, and after a while, he realized: "With ...... Jiang's? ”
Xiao Di was silent, closed his eyes and bowed his head.
