Chapter Twenty-Four: Hongling Drinks Medicine
On the morning of the third day of junior high school, Wei Rongruo was worried about a few rabbits jumping around.
"Hongying, come here." Wei Rongruo bolted the door lightly, and then called Hongying by the rabbit cage.
Originally, she could have spent Hongying on such a secret matter.
But Wei Rongruo deliberately let Hongying know.
Because she wanted to know what Hongying would say in front of her ancestors.
Hongying walked over curiously, and Wei Rongruo asked Rue Xiang to take the scissors.
"Here, on its hind legs, give her a moment." Wei Rongruo motioned for Hongying to hold a rabbit firmly, and then said flatly.
Rue Xiang felt that she had misheard.
After hesitating, she saw Wei Rongruo take the scissors from her hand and drop them quickly and hard.
Bloody! The rabbit's hind leg immediately had an extra wound of an inch, and the bones could be seen.
Hongying shouted and hurriedly let go.
The injured rabbit fled to another corner of the cage at once.
Wei Rongruo put down the scissors and called Ruxiang to fetch water to wash his hands.
"You don't need special care, just feed normally." After Wei Rongruo finished speaking, he could hear Mingyue talking outside the door.
"Third Miss, Miss Wan'er is here."
Wei Rongruo agreed, and Hongying went to open the door.
"The third aunt said, thank you for the material sent by the third lady." Wan'er entered the door and saluted, "The third aunt also said that the third lady should go to the Jade Residence."
"Said I got fresh mandarin fish in the morning, and the kitchenette was cooking. Please enjoy the light of the third lady and try it in the past. ”
Wei Rongruo knew that he couldn't push it off, so he immediately asked Wan'er to go back first.
Then he went back to the back room to change his clothes and went with Rue Xiang.
Nangong Wu personally greeted her outside the Jade Residence, and when she saw Wei Rongruo coming, she took her hand and went to the house.
If Wei Rong knew, something must be wrong. Sure enough, I saw Nangong Wu send all the girls away, leaving only Wan'er outside the door.
"The medicine is being delivered every day, and I see that the opportunity is poured into the gong bucket." Nangong Wu chattered while serving tea in person. "I'm going to find out. But they kept it a secret, and they didn't find anything in the past two days.
"I also had someone copy the prescription secretly, and I was looking for you to ask about it."
Nangong Wu said, took out a prescription from his sleeve, and handed it to Wei Rongruo.
With a slight sweep of her eyes, she knew that there was no mistake in this prescription.
Wei Rongruo shook his head and asked, "The one who delivered the medicine has always been Hongling?" ”
"Yes. I'm worried that the Ronghua Hall is not appropriate, and Hongling has always been in charge. ”
Wei Rongruo nodded: "If that's the case, the medicine will be delivered later, and you will call Hongling to you." Give her a taste. ”
"It's not like I haven't thought about it. It's just that you said that this medicine is a chronic poison, and she is afraid that if she is allowed to drink it alone, she has nothing to fear. Nangong Wu's analysis also makes sense.
"It's easy to do." Wei Rongruo took out a small bag from his sleeve, and then pulled Nangong Wu's hand.
Open the packet and inside is a dark red powder.
Nangong Wu didn't know why, so he listened to Wei Rongruo say: "Take a little bit of your little thumb nail." ”
Nangong Wu took off her armor and dipped it in some powder in disbelief.
"Wait a minute, you take the medicine bowl, let the medicine powder fall into the bowl, and then hand it to Hongling." Wei Rongruo was talking when he heard someone talking outside the door.
"Third aunt, my brother's medicine is here." The person who came was Hongling.
Then when she drank it, a red liquid would come out of her mouth. You tell her that this medicine is highly poisonous. Wei Rongruo finished speaking in Nangong Wu's ear, and quickly hid behind the screen.
Nangong Wu was sitting in danger and let Hongling come in first.
didn't send someone to invite Wei Rongxi, but changed his expression and asked, "Why did I hear that the medicine you gave Xi'er is poisonous?" ”
Nangong Wu paid attention and carefully observed Hongling's face.
Hongling was frightened for a moment, and the hand holding the tray shook slightly.
Then immediately became calm.
If it weren't for Nangong Wu's careful capture, he would almost have thought that he had seen it wrong.
"What did the third aunt say. How dare Hongling frame the little master? ”
Nangong Wu snorted coldly: "What are you panicking about?" I didn't say you were the one who poisoned you. ”
Hongling reacted suddenly and said loudly: "Huh? This medicine ...... Poisonous? As he spoke, he subconsciously glanced at the tray.
Nangong Wu already understood.
If Hongling doesn't know, how can there be the words "how dare you frame the little master".
For normal people, the first question to think about should not be whether this medicine is really poisonous?
"I've only heard that it may be a dark ghost with suspicion." Nangong Wu changed her relaxed expression, "In this way, there is a shortage of first-class girls around me." If you are faithful, drink this bowl of medicine as a sign of your heart.
"After drinking the medicine, I immediately returned to my ancestor and promoted you to be a first-class girl."
Wei Rongruo hid behind the screen and couldn't help but sigh in admiration in his heart.
Nangong Wu spoke, and sure enough, there was no leakage.
Hongling seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. I saw Nangong Wu pick up the medicine bowl from the tray and hand it to her.
She didn't hesitate, picked up the medicine bowl and drank it all.
Hongling presented the empty bowl to Nangong Wu, but suddenly felt that the corners of her mouth were sticky.
She put down the medicine bowl in a panic and wiped it with her hand, the back of her hand was covered with blood.
Nangong Wu smiled lightly and sighed, "You can tell the truth now!" ”
Hongling panicked suddenly: "No, no." She clearly said that this medicine would not harm people's lives, so the slave and maid agreed. Hongling cried as she spoke, and the blood stains on the corners of her mouth became more and more.
"She, who is she?" Nangong Wu immediately retreated and asked.
Hongling shook her head. While wiping the corners of his mouth incessantly, he said, "No, there is no one. ”
"It's fine. Then I immediately returned to my ancestor and said that you wanted to murder Xi'er, but you were killed by yourself. Nangong Wu said and stood up.
Hongling knelt down a few steps, and suddenly threw herself at Nangong Wu's feet, crying, "No, third aunt." It doesn't matter if the slave or maid dies, but he can't bear such a charge.
"The slave is the eldest daughter of the family. There are younger brothers and sisters, and there are parents...... If slaves and maids are accused of killing their masters, how will they live......"
"Good. As long as you say it, I will try to save your life.
"When I came from Pingcheng, there were a few rejuvenation pills in my family."
Before Nangong Wu finished speaking, she saw Hongling's death-like eyes, which suddenly lit up.
People always want to live.
"Yes...... It's Miss Six. Hongling said in a slurch, but Nangong Wu opened her mouth in surprise.
"Wei Rongxuan? How can it be? ”
"Yes. What Hongling said at this time is true. ”
Nangong Wu still didn't believe it.
"Just because ...... It's just because of the slave and cousin that the fourth aunt knows. Hongling's voice became smaller and smaller, almost inaudible, "Later, for some reason, Aunt Wen also learned. And then ......"
Nangong Wu was a little convinced at this time.
Hongling is waiting for the word boudoir, and only waits for a few years to be released from the house. If something happens to my cousin, this life will be over.
"Third aunt, please spare the slave maid. The slave and maid really don't know that this medicine is highly poisonous. Madame just said at the time that if you add something to the medicine, the third young master will not get better so quickly.
In this way, the third aunt will take care of herself. Slaves and maids too...... Forced.
"If it weren't for this, even if it was to borrow a hundred guts from the slave maid, the slave wouldn't dare to murder the third young master!"
Hongling said, kowtowing like churning garlic.
"Alright, you clean up first, go down." Nangong Wu said, "You're so crazy. ”
Hongling wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, but found that there was more and more blood.
"Rejuvenation Pill, I'll let Wan'er send it to you later. You know what to do and what to say. ”
"The slave maid said that the third young master drank the medicine, and his spirit was not as good as before." Hongling said, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and withdrew.
Wei Rongruo came out from behind the screen, looked at Nangong Wu and smiled: "Leave the rest, I'll do it." ”
