Chapter Twenty-Four: The Rain Locks the Door Closed at Dusk
Wide-eyed eyes and raised eyebrows...... It wasn't until Luo Yan silently counted to three in her heart that the female doctor's surprise changed to anger, and she said in a flat voice: "The princess is really joking!" ”
Luo Yan leaned back lazily and waved her hand, "I'm not kidding, take your things and go." ”
The female doctor's face suddenly had no expression, as if all the handwriting had been erased from a piece of paper, Qingqing's heart sank, and she walked between her and Luo Yan in one step. Luo Yan said lightly: "It's okay, Qingqing, send this mother-in-law out." The female doctor turned around silently, paused, and walked out.
The middle-aged maid outside the door had changed her face, and somehow she crossed Dou'er with a movement of her feet, and just stepped into the threshold with half a foot, a hand was already on her shoulder: "You are in the wrong place." It was Aunt Fang who was smiling.
Luo Yan raised her voice and said, "I will tell my brother about Xiangye's kindness." Please also tell Xiangye, Luo Yan is just a woman, she has forgotten all the previous things, and she just wants to live a peaceful and stable life in the future, please rest assured. ”
Mother Zheng was originally standing on the side talking to Tianzhu, when she suddenly heard Luo Yan's words, she couldn't help but look back, only to feel that everything in front of her was indescribably weird, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. Seeing that the doctor recommended by the Xiangguo Mansion came out expressionlessly, the maid next to her looked like a lawsuit, and couldn't help but rush up and ask: "Doctor Zhang, is the princess's illness important?" ”
The female doctor was silent for a while, and said, "It doesn't matter. I don't know why, Zheng's mother felt a little chill on her body, looked at the sky, and couldn't help complaining: "This ghost weather, when will the rain be finished!" ”
Seeing that Mother Zheng had accompanied the two of them away, Aunt Fang rushed into the house and asked in a low voice, "How is the princess?" The ...... just now It's really a Gu release? How did the princess see it? ”
Luo Yan was silent for a while, and said lightly: "I guess." The woman's finger was wrong when she checked my pulse, and the breathing rhythm was not right, naturally she was not a real doctor, and she was dragging time as soon as she entered the door, and it was not until the end that she suddenly relaxed, I guessed that she probably just needed time to release poison or Gu, so I simply asked directly, and as soon as she answered, I knew that I had guessed correctly, and when I asked her to take her things away, didn't her expression just tell me that I was all right? ”
Qingqing and Aunt Fang glanced at each other, and there was confusion in their eyes: What does it mean that the breathing rhythm is wrong? They had heard the doctor's answer, and why did the princess conclude that she had guessed correctly?
Luo Yan saw their expressions, and smiled slightly bitterly in her heart, but she couldn't explain it anymore: Do you want to tell them that she once watched an American drama called "Don't Lie to Me" a thousand years later, and it said that the expression of real surprise would not last more than a second; Raising an eyebrow is actually a sign of fear; People subconsciously hold their breath when they are nervous...... And as a journalist back then, she was already familiar with this set of theories in interview practice?
Aunt Fang thought about it, but after all, she was still not at ease: "I have also heard that if the person who is under the Gu is told on the spot, he will not do it, but he must be cautious in this matter......
Luo Yan thought for a while and said, "It's easy, then you go to the kitchen and get me a handful of black beans, and you'll know if you chew it." In addition, the news of today's events must be passed on to my second brother, and there may not be any movement on Gao Xiangguo's side, but it is likely that he will simply come to ...... We don't have enough manpower after all! Aunt Fang, I have an idea, do you think this will work? ”
---------------------------------
Just after Shen Shi, Tianzhu personally went to Rongxi Courtyard to report to Mrs. Du: The princess's rash has come out, the fever has subsided, the rash is not serious, and it is estimated that it will be fine for a few more days. Mrs. Du recited a sentence of Buddha, and when Du Yuchen heard the movement, he hurriedly called the dzi in, and asked carefully, and couldn't help but smile on his face. Yuan Min'er was beside the bed, and when she saw this smile, her heart was sour, and she couldn't help but say: "The princess has to take care of it, don't leave any scars." ”
Du Yuchen glanced at her, his face was a little unpleasant, Yuan Min'er hurriedly turned around and said: "I heard that the maintenance after this rash is the first priority, my sister's skin is delicate, and the girls should be more careful." Du Yuchen's face was only then softened, and he couldn't help but think of the days ago when he lived in Luoyun Courtyard, he was lying in the courtyard basking in the sun, Luo Yan and the little girls were playing with flowers, and he found out at that time that Luo Yan's skin was really amazing, not to mention that the girls in the courtyard were the petals in their hands, and they were not as white and delicate as hers......
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook a gentle smile. But Yuan Min'er almost leached a vat of vinegar in her heart, rolled her eyes, and said busily: "Erlang, do you know how old the child is to feel him kicking someone?" Du Yuchen came back to his senses at this time, reached out and gently stroked Yuan Min'er's abdomen, which was not yet obvious, and said with a smile: "I have never felt it, isn't this kid like you, a lazy one?" Yuan Min'er glanced at him with disgust, but a thought suddenly popped up in Du Yuchen's heart: If Luo Yan has a child in the future, looking at her like that, the child will definitely be a naughty person. As soon as this thought popped up, I couldn't help but be startled.
Mrs. Du sent Zheng's mother to Luoyun Courtyard, and gave a third-class reward to more than a dozen girls in the courtyard, and Qingqing was second-class, and said, when the princess is well, there will be a reward at the same time. Everyone rejoiced and did not mention it. In the small kitchen, Aunt Fang boiled a big pot of mutton soup, saying that the princess invited everyone to add food, and it has been hard for the past few days. Just after dusk, Luoyun Courtyard closed the courtyard door, and the girls went back to the house with a bowl of mutton soup to drink. After a while, the courtyard was quiet, only a few figures flashed on the verandah on both sides, and there was no movement for a moment.
There was nothing to say for half a night, and in the second half of the night, the mother-in-law of Dufu's night vigil had just finished playing two rounds of cards, and the leader said: "It's all four watches, so it's better to go back and rest after a turn." A few people barely cheered up, just walked to the northernmost corner of the Luoyun Courtyard, but saw that there seemed to be a fire flashing inside, this surprise was not trivial, busy playing the gong, while running over. But seeing that the courtyard door was closed, when knocking on the door to call people, after a while, a little girl who had just left her head opened the door in a panic and begged for mercy: "Mammas, don't be loud, we boiled mutton soup here yesterday, and there is still some oil left, just now in the small kitchen, accidentally lit two firewoods, and a basin of water was extinguished earlier, and nothing was burned." This will shock the master, and everyone will be punished. ”
The mother-in-law who kept vigil looked inside, and sure enough, it was already pitch black, but there was still the smell of smoke, but the girls in the yard were not alarmed, it was not a big deal, and she remembered that she was lazy and weak in her heart, and she couldn't help but complain: "Why are you careless?" ”
Fortunately, this Luoyun Courtyard is remote, far away from other courtyards, and the few gongs just now did not alarm others. The night watchman still wanted to complain, but she saw that the lady came over with two wet hands, and said with a smile: "It's all my fault, I am shocking everyone, I will ask you to drink tomorrow to make amends, and I hope you don't alarm the above." Quietly stuffed a silver horn into the hand of the leading mother-in-law. The woman checked it, but she was afraid that there would be nearly half of it, and her heart rejoiced, and she counted a few words and left with a few people.
As soon as the courtyard door closed, Dou'er let out a sigh of relief, only to feel weak, and couldn't help but lean against the door panel. Aunt Fang also let out a long breath and looked up at the night sky: This night is finally over! The princess was worried that it would come true, and the Xiangguo Mansion actually failed to make a secret calculation, so she really started an open attack, and among the five people who came tonight, there were actually three first-class skills, and one person was obviously not good at kung fu - I am afraid that he is a master of medicine and even evil arts. They were able to come in, and the secret guards arranged outside the Du Mansion had naturally been dragged, and she only had two chicks at hand, Qingqing and Dou'er......
Fortunately, the princess had a whim, and slept directly in the girls' room—in her words, "If you want to hide a grain of rice, throw it into the rice jar." Sure enough, these people went to the upper room and pounced, and it was impossible to find out who the princess was from the seven or eight rooms in the courtyard and the dozen or so sleeping people who didn't know martial arts! In desperation, she put a fire in the small kitchen, but those girls drank the mutton soup with ingredients, so naturally they would not wake up, and she, Qingqing, and Dou'er did not take any action as planned - it's a big deal to burn down the small kitchen, those people can't really burn down Luoyun Courtyard, otherwise why send a master of medicine? It can be seen that he still wants to take the opportunity to make the princess sick or confused, and she can't go back to Dayan. When the gong sounded at the vigil, they extinguished the fire faster than they could set fire, and in a blink of an eye, they all retreated.
It's just that tonight is already like this, and tomorrow it will be so easy to send people away? It seems that what the princess is worried about is true, Aunt Fang smiled bitterly and thought, the Dayan mission will not arrive in three days at the earliest, but how can it survive these three days? And the princess's plan is even more adventurous than tonight's!
