Chapter 59: The Note in the Meal
Nian Xia scooped up the decoction medicine in his hand with a spoon, put it to his mouth and blew it gently, before carefully feeding it to Xichun's mouth.
"Be careful."
Seeing Xichun drinking obediently, she took out her handkerchief and gently wiped the medicine stains from her mouth for her.
"Take another sip."
Nian Xia scooped up a spoonful of decoction medicine again and handed it to Xichun's mouth.
Xichun felt that he couldn't swallow, and raised his hand to push it away, his pale face full of worry. "What else did Master Wen say?"
Nian Xia reluctantly put the spoon back into the bowl, sighed and said, "You just asked me about some things, and left without saying anything else." โ
Xichun became even more anxious when he heard this, "It's time now, why didn't you come back?" โ
She suddenly thought of something, grabbed Nian Xia's wrist and said loudly: "Isn't it an adult who went to save the master?" โ
Nian Xia was grabbed so suddenly, his hand shook, and a lot of the decoction in the bowl spilled out.
She saw that some of her skirt was also sprinkled, so she took out a handkerchief to wipe it, and said, "The master has a big deal this time, and there is no perfect plan, so he acts recklessly." In this way, not only will you not be able to save the master, but I am afraid that you will have to get into it yourself. โ
She put away her handkerchief, put the bowl aside, and continued, "With the wisdom of Lord Wen, he should have gone to find out the news, but it was a little late. โ
She turned her head to look at the door, a hint of concern on her face.
Xichun's face was originally a little joyful again, he lowered his head, and muttered, "What can I do about this?" โ
As soon as the words fell, Nian Xia saw Wen Tingyun walk in with a disgraced face. She stood up excitedly, but looking at Wen Tingyun's expression, she had to swallow the words that had reached her mouth.
As soon as Xichun saw Wen Tingyun, he immediately came to his senses, looked at him expectantly, and said, "My lord, how is it?" Is there a way to save the master? โ
Wen Tingyun's face became even more gloomy, as if he hadn't heard Xichun's words, and asked Nian Xia who stood up on the side, "Has the doctor seen it?" Is she better? โ
Xichun said anxiously: "Okay, okay, I'm all right." Don't worry about me, adults, let's talk about ยทยทยทยทยท"
Nian Xia hurriedly interrupted Xichun's words, and replied respectfully: "Thanks to the blessing of the lord, the doctor has already seen it, and now it is better." โ
Xichun was interrupted by her like this, and turned his head to look at her with a puzzled expression.
Nian Xia didn't look at her, looked up at Wen Tingyun, and hesitated: "It's just that our sisters want to ask adultsยทยทยทยทยท
Wen Tingyun sighed, looked at Nian Xia who wanted to speak and stopped, and then turned his head to look at Xichun with an anxious face.
"I know what you want to ask, but it's your master's business."
Xichun heard him talk about this, and nodded urgently in response like a chicken pecking rice.
Nian Xia bowed to Wen Tingyun and said cautiously: "Our sisters are also very worried, and I hope that the adults can forgive us for our verbal offense and inform us one or two." โ
Wen Tingyun's expression was solemn, and he was silent for a long time before he spit out the words "This matter is very serious".
When Xichun and Nian Xia heard this, Qi Qiqi's faces changed.
Wen Tingyun continued: "I originally wanted to buy off the jailer and go to the prison to see Huilan. But I didn't expect that the guards were extremely strict, and there was no way at all. Later, after many inquiries, I learned that the day after tomorrow will be openly tried. โ
Xichun asked suspiciously, "Open triage?" โ
Wen Tingyun nodded and said coldly: "This is to crush Huilan to death with public opinion." โ
Xichun hurriedly asked, "Why?" โ
"At the time of the trial, there will definitely be a succession of evidence and witnesses to confirm Huilan's crimes. In this way, the emotions of the spectators at the time will be directed, and Hui Lan's guilt will be increased. โ
Wen Tingyun sighed lightly and continued with a sad face: "Even if there is a way to clear Huilan's charges, she will be crushed to death by public opinion at that time!" โ
Xichun just thought about it in his mind, and felt that that scene was very terrifying, not to mention that the master had to clear his own guilt under that scene. I'm afraid that when the time comes, everything will be wrong.
Nian Xia lowered his eyes, thought carefully for a while, and said firmly: "With such a careful action, someone wants to put the master to death." โ
Nian Xia raised her head and saw Wen Tingyun looking at her with appreciative eyes, and hurriedly lowered her head and said, "Nian Xia lost her words." โ
Wen Tingyun looked at her kindly, "There is no need to be so restrained, treat me the same as your master." โ
Nian Xia replied in a low voice, "Yes." โ
Xichun couldn't bear it, and hurriedly said: "What can I do to save my master?" She patted her chest, "If you can use me, please say it!" โ
Wen Tingyun turned his head to look at her and said, "For now, only you will tell me everything that happened, word for word." Only in this way can we find out the loopholes in the matter and come up with a solution. โ
Xichun and Nian Xia glanced at each other and said in unison: "The folk girl will know everything, and she will say everything." โ
The moonlight was hazy, and Yu Youwei leaned against the damp wall of the cell, and could only look at the moon through a small window.
The moon seemed to be rounder tonight than at other times, but her heart was full of sadness. The chatter of rats around her echoed clearly in her ears. In the depths of the prison, the small moans of people came little by little.
"Fish mystery! Time to eat! โ
The jailer opened the cell, threw the rice beside Yu Youwei, and turned away without even looking at her.
Yu Youwei didn't move, just withdrew her gaze from the moon outside the window, and turned her head to stare at the coarse rice that couldn't see what it was.
After a long time, a rat seemed to be emboldened by hunger, and tried to probe towards the meal.
Yu Youwei had already discovered its tracks, and she just watched and did not stop it.
The rat took two steps and stopped, and finally got close to the bowl. Because the bowl of rice was so close to Yu Youwei, it stopped a few steps away from the edge of the bowl and stood upright.
After a long while, it should have felt that Yu Youwei was not threatening, so she slowly walked to the bowl. It glanced at Yu Youwei and hesitated to swallow the bowl of rice.
The rest of the timid rats squatting in the dark shadow, seeing that it was not in the slightest danger of eating, were gradually tempted and ran over one by one.
After a while, five rats, large and small, were surrounded by the bowl.
Yu Youwei watched them eat with a blank face. After all, they have eaten this meal, and they don't know when they will eat the next meal.
The combat effectiveness of these rats is also extremely strong, and most of the food in the bowl was eaten in an instant.
Although Yu Youwei's whole person was as motionless as a stone, her mind was still spinning. She looked at it, and suddenly saw a note peeking out of the middle of the bowl.
The moment she saw it, she suddenly moved, and her hand reached for the note in the bowl.
The rats were startled by her action, and they all disappeared in a hula.
Yu Youwei took the note in her hand, opened it slowly, and a line of crooked words came into her eyes.
She looked at her, clutched the note in her hand, turned around and threw it in the direction of the moon outside the window.
