Chapter 103 The Fortification Fails
Hunger, cold and illness, no matter how strong the will is, it will be shaken, and if you want to move but can't move, Zhang Xiyue really hopes that she will die immediately.
From noon to afternoon, from afternoon to evening, Fang Zhongyue never appeared. In the evening, the rain stopped but it still didn't shine, and the room was still cold and damp.
The swelling on my face has subsided a bit, and my eyes can see things normally, but my body is still cold and hot for a while, and I feel that my forehead is even hotter.
Hearing the door in a daze, Zhang Xiyue struggled to raise her head expectantly, but saw the handyman who came in with the candlestick and couldn't help but lie back in disappointment.
The handyman opened the food box and took out a bowl of rice, a plate of meat and fried vegetables, and a plate of fish, "Madam, this time you have some vegetables, you can eat some rice..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Xiyue suddenly retched, waved at him and said, "Take the fish... Don't..."
The kitchen master took pity on her, and knew that she liked to eat fish, so the handyman was stunned for a moment and put the fish in the box.
Without the smell of fish, Zhang Xiyue's disgusting gradually subsided, she struggled to stand up and asked, "You help me through... Did you notify Yuan Zhongheal? ”
"Notice," said the handyman, "someone is watching and does not let him see outsiders, so I have to ask the person watching him to help pass on the word."
As soon as she heard this, Zhang Xiyue immediately understood, thought about it and said, "No matter how troublesome... You once..."
She is a smart person who took off the gold bracelet on her wrist and handed it over, "You must meet Yuan Zhongyu and say... Say I'm sick..."
"Oh," the handyman looked at the gold bracelet with some hesitation, "No... No, I'll find a way to tell him. He still didn't take the bracelet and left with the food box.
He is not uncommon with that gold bracelet, firstly, the bracelet is too big for him to dare to take it for fear of accidents, and secondly, he also sees that Zhang Xiyue is too pitiful, after all, people are sympathetic.
The handyman went straight back to the kitchen and immediately asked the steward if someone had brought food to the West Building?
The steward wondered, "What else will Mrs. Zhang give when she is locked up?" Do you want us to wait on her subordinates? If you don't come to get food, you're hungry. ”
"Some people watched Yuan Zhongyue, they didn't let them out, and if they didn't send them food, they would really starve to death." The handyman took advantage of the situation to pack food and went to the west building.
Tan Yurong ordered Fang Zhongyu and Yin Xiaotao to go out of the building and see outsiders, but he didn't say that he wouldn't let people eat! It just so happened that the manservant who had said that he had delivered the message had changed shifts, so no one stopped the handyman who delivered the meal.
Fang Zhongyue saw that the handyman didn't wait for him to speak, so he asked anxiously, "Big brother, did you bring food to Mrs. Zhang?" How is she? ”
"Don't mention it," the handyman said, "I was injured by Imperial Concubine Tan and her maid..."
"It's disgusting!" Yin Xiaotao was very annoyed, "Is my young lady seriously injured?" ”
"It's very heavy, my whole face is swollen, I almost didn't recognize it, I can't move anymore and I can't eat, I vomit when I eat."
"Bastards, bastards..."Yin Xiaotao scolded angrily, "I'm going to find them desperately!" With that, he went out.
Fang Zhongyue hurriedly grabbed her, "Can you fight others?" If you go, you will be beaten in vain... Big brother, look at Miss She... Was she badly hurt? Will there be a danger to life? ”
"What's this...?" The handyman hesitated for a moment and said, "I can't say it either, anyway, I look very weak and don't take medicine, I'm afraid..."
"What can I do about this?" Yin Xiaotao said the mantra again, "I have to find a doctor to show the young lady the injury!" ”
"Emperor Tan let people look at us, and she must have ordered those guards, who dares to care about this matter?"
"Then watch Miss die?"
"Of course not, you let me think about it..."Fang Zhongyue's mind flashed, and he said to the handyman: "Big brother, can you do me a favor...?"
Before he finished speaking, he shook his head, "No, no, no, please ask the imperial doctor, then it has to be General Manager Zhou, how can the imperial doctor know me as a small miscellaneous servant?" “
"It's not for you to help ask for a doctor, please tell the prince that I have something very important to see him..."
"Ahh I'm afraid this won't work, I'm just helping in the kitchen, and I usually go out of the house through the West Corner Gate, and I don't even know where the prince is! ”
The handyman was also afraid of being burned, so he put down the food box and left, "I can only help Mrs. Zhang bring a word or something, I can't do anything else." ”
"Hi... Wait, don't go... This coward! Yin Xiaomoss stomped her feet in anger.
Fang Zhongyue persuaded: "Forget it! He's just an errand runner, it's already very good to be able to help pass the word, after all, now Tan Yurong is a concubine, and Miss is almost the same as a prisoner, can he help Miss openly without being afraid of offending Tan Yurong? ”
"That's... What are we going to do? ”
"Ouch, big sister, can you not say these words? Eat and eat, my brain is not easy to use when I am hungry..."Fang Zhongyue hasn't eaten much since last night, and now he is so hungry that he takes out the food and eats it.
Yin Xiaotao sat across from him and looked at him with a frown, "Are you still eating at this time?" ”
"We can't go out, we can't see the prince, we can't ask for a doctor, we can't even go to visit the young lady, we don't eat and wait to starve to death? We have to live well to have a chance to help Miss, otherwise we will really have to watch Miss..."
"Okay, okay, you always have a reason, I'll eat too..."
During the meal, the two of them discussed a plan, and after eating and resting for a while, Fang Zhongyue quietly went out.
He did not take the stone path, but followed the root of the wall to the east side of the building, where there were several rows of trees, two people at the south intersection, and two more at the end of the woods;
Fang Zhongyue took advantage of the cover of night to come to the middle of the woods, and then quietly walked through the woods, looked left and right, and suddenly ran eastward.
At this time, the sky was cloudy and rainy, and it was past the time of the palm lamp, and the surroundings were very quiet, and the sound of his footsteps running far away, the people on both sides immediately sought to chase after him.
Fang Zhongyue ran forward as fast as he could, but his legs hurt! How is it possible to run fast? He didn't take fifty steps before he was caught.
"Little bunny, what are you going to do?" One grabbed him, and the other came up with two feet, "Look for death, you!" ”
"Why did you hit me?" Fang Zhongyue shouted at the top of his voice, "Can't I go out for a walk...?" ”
"Shut him up...!"
"Don't let him shout...!" Two more caught up after him, four people covered their mouths with eight hands, grabbed their arms and grabbed their arms, and almost carried him back.
At this time, Fang Zhongyue didn't shout or twist, in that case, he could only be beaten, his purpose was to lure these people away, why bother to find guilt himself when the goal was achieved?
The four of them didn't put down Fang Zhongyu until the front of the building, and one of them dragged him into the building and warned: "Stinky boy, if you dare to run out again, I'll break your legs, do you hear?" Stay good..."
The man turned around and took two steps before stopping, "Hey... What about the girl? Look for it, that girl is gone! ”...
