Chapter 140: Xiao Jiu noticed that he was poisoned
The night gradually came, and after Xiao Jiu gradually fell asleep in fright, Ah Yang finally quietly walked out of the Yinglin Palace.
If she guessed correctly, the alliance leader should have been poisoned by the poppy.
Fortunately, the amount of intake is not large, and it is not hopeless.
It's just that in this huge Yinglin Garden, how easy is it to find the murderer?
At that time, in the attic of Xiyuan, because Xiao Jiu did not come, the sleepiness of Manxue was completely gone.
"Hey! Lately, somehow, I've been dizzy all the time, so I guess it's there, right? ”
"Is there something wrong with Miss? Would you like to invite a man to come and take a look tomorrow? ”
The maid suggested as she laid out the futon for him.
"No need! Look at how much Lang Zhong will say that Miss Ben has some minor illnesses and pains, and she has acupuncture, which is very painful! ”
"But...... If you don't look at Langzhong, how do you know if you are happy? ”
"Forget it!"
She and her husband have just been in the same room for a few days, and the designation will not be so fast!
Tomorrow, I'll ask that granny Yu again, when will that pregnancy incense work!
The next morning, Manxue got up early.
Yawned, shook his slightly swollen head, and planned to ask the maid to freshen up and go out.
"Miss, you ...... this time Do you want to go out alone again? ”
"Well, Miss Ben isn't used to being followed! Stay in the garden! Wait until I'm back! ”
Man Xue waved her hand lightly, and then walked towards the outside of Yinglin Garden.
After leaving Yinglin Garden, Manxue went straight to a small alley facing the street.
Walking along the small alley to the innermost, I finally saw the familiar little red door.
After knocking on the door, someone spoke hoarsely from inside
"Who knocked?"
Hearing this, Man Xue immediately replied politely
"Granny Jade, the little woman asks to see her in the snow."
After a while, the door was slowly opened from the inside.
"Oh, that's the beautiful young lady! Please come in! ”
Speaking of which, the acquaintance between Man Xue and this jade mother-in-law is also a coincidence.
Since she learned that her sister was pregnant a few days ago, Manxue was also a little anxious, so she thought about going to the pharmacy outside to see if there were any easy conceivable drugs available and grabbing them.
Unexpectedly, I met this jade mother-in-law at the door of Chunhui Hall, and learned that she was eager to ask for a child, so she said that there was a kind of incense at home, as long as she lit it at night when she was in love with her husband, she could help her conceive as soon as possible.
Man Xue believed that it was true, so she followed it to this small alley, and after taking the incense, she hurried back.
"I don't know why Miss came here today?"
Seeing that Manxue was not angry, and it seemed that she had not noticed anything wrong with the incense she had given her before, Yu Pozi did not panic.
"Didn't you take the incense back from your mother-in-law last time, I was in a hurry, and I forgot to ask you, when will this incense work?"
"Uh...... Well, this one! Hearing this, Yu Pozi rolled her eyes, and quickly continued, "Don't come out."
Half a month, I am sure that you are pregnant, and maybe it can be twins! ”
"Really?"
Hearing what Yu Pozi said, Manxue immediately grabbed her hands excitedly, and kept shaking them, "If that's the case, then Manxue thank you so much!" ”
"Miss doesn't have to be polite, it's all what an old woman should do, after all, it's an honor for an old woman to help such a beautiful young lady become a mother!"
This jade woman has a very sweet mouth, and she praises the snow in her heart.
After coming out of the small alley, Man Xue looked at the incense box in her hand excitedly, and was in an inexplicably good mood.
This time, she bought a box of incense from Granny Yu again! If I can really give birth to two children for my husband, my husband will be very happy!
When he has a baby, his husband will hurt himself like he loves his sister.
Full of joy, he ran all the way to the direction of Yinglin Garden, and after a short time, he entered the gate of Yinglin Garden.
"Miss, why did you come back? The Alliance Leader is looking for you everywhere! ”
As soon as he entered the West Garden, he bumped into the maid in his building.
"Husband looking for me?"
As soon as she heard that Xiao Jiu was looking for herself, Man Xue hurriedly stuffed the incense box in her arms into the maid's arms, and ran towards the direction of her attic with a jump.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Xiao Jiu with his back to him at the moment, standing in the room for a moment!
After hearing the sound of the snow, Xiao Jiu immediately turned around, but the expression on his face was extremely serious.
"Where did you go?"
"I ...... I'm going to buy spices, husband, why are you here? Did you miss me? ”
Seeing that there were a lot of bloodshots under Manxue's eyes, Xiao Jiu frowned slightly.
All night last night, he was afraid of the poisoning and couldn't sleep for a long time.
After pondering and meditating all night, he would be vigilant to test the poison before eating and using all the food, clothing, and clothes he handled.
Even if you are so cautious, you will still be poisoned, so there is only one possibility, that is, this poison is not in your own temple, but in another room.
But recently, because he has been busy with the affairs of the alliance, in addition to the Yinglin Palace, there is only the Xiyuan Loft where he stays every night, which is where he often activities.
Early in the morning, he had already ordered someone to check the inside and outside of the Yinglin Palace, and there was no poppy poison. So there is only one possibility, and that is in the snowy attic.
It so happened that when he was about to order someone to come and inspect his attic, Manxue was not in the room, and he heard the maid beside him say that Manxue had sneaked out alone again.
Just as she was about to look for her back, the girl ran back on her own.
Seeing that although Manxue was happy on his face, his lips were slightly white, so Xiao Jiu subconsciously put his hand on the pulse on his wrist and helped him probe it.
Feeling the weak pulse of the snow, Xiao Jiu already had seven or eight points of certainty in his heart.
"Manxue, have you been feeling dizzy and weak lately?"
Xiao Jiu's sudden question made Man Xue's face redden.
"What did the husband say? person
Family...... Only in ...... with you After that, that's what happened! ”
Xiao Jiu knew that she was trying to be crooked, so she coughed lightly
"Manxue, I'm down to business with you for my husband! Think about it again? ”
After Xiao Jiu's reminder, Man Xue also dispelled the filthy thoughts in her mind and began to recall them carefully.
After a while, I saw his thin eyebrows slightly closed
"When the husband asked like this, don't say it, it's true, when I got up this morning, my chest was stuffy and uncomfortable, and I was slightly disgusted. Could it be that I'm happy? ”
Looking at Manxue's stupid appearance, Xiao Jiu couldn't help but hold his forehead for a while.
"Silly girl, where are you happy? It's clearly poisoned by poppies! If you think about it, what's wrong with the food and incense these days? ”
"Poisoned?"
As soon as she heard that she was poisoned, Manxue was so frightened that her face turned white.
"No, it won't! Don't scare me, husband! ”
Seeing Manxue's frightened look, Xiao Jiu hurriedly grabbed her shoulder and said
"Don't be afraid! To tell you the truth, the husband also got the same poison as you, and this matter is not trivial, so the husband will come to you to ask for an understanding. ”
When Xiao Jiu said this, Manxue's brain became even more dizzy.
"Husband...... It's not that I'm trying to harm you...... I...... I ......"
"The husband knows, the husband believes in you!"
Just as Manxue was trying to think about what was wrong, the maid suddenly walked in from outside the door with the spice box that Manxue had handed her before.
"Miss, this spice slave will be put under the dresser for you first, and when you need it, the slave will give it to you."
When the maid had finished speaking, she prepared to go in the direction of the inner sanctum.
Xiao Jiu suddenly roared with a serious face
"Wait!"
Hearing this, the maid hurriedly stopped, turned around and bowed slightly.
"I don't know what the alliance leader commands?"
"Where did you get the spices in your hand?"
Asked about this, Man Xue hurriedly struggled from Xiao Jiu's arms
"Husband, I just bought this spice from outside, what's wrong?"
Xiao Jiu didn't reply, but continued to say to the maid
"I'll take a look at the box."
Soon, the maid obediently handed over the spice box.
After Xiao Jiu opened it quickly, he couldn't help but pinch a small piece of incense and put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it.
This fragrance is really the same smell as the one I had smelled in the snow room before.
Just looking at the color of this spice, it is not like ordinary spices, this spice is really a little too red.
"Manxue, where did you get this spice?"
At this moment, even Manxue knows that this spice is poisonous, no matter how stupid it is.
Kankan recalled that the process of knowing Yu Pozi was too strange.
After thinking for a long time, Man Xue said apologetically
"Husband, is this spice poisonous? I...... I bought it from an old woman in her fifties and sixties......"
"Old woman? Can you still find her? ”
Originally, I wanted to follow the vine and touch the melon, but I wanted to come to the old woman
I won't wait to bring someone to catch it!
"I can find her house."
Following Manxue all the way out of Yinglin Garden, passing through the familiar alley, Manxue pointed to the small red doorway in front of him with a determined face
"Husband, that's the door!"
The two of them quickened their pace.
It's just that when the two of them kicked open the door at the same time, the courtyard was already empty.
"Damn! I actually told this dead old woman to run away! ”
I couldn't see the figure around, and I stomped my feet in the snow.
Xiao Jiu didn't make a sound, and always stared at the surroundings with a vigilant face.
After a while, I found a secret passage under the stove.
"Manxue, the old woman you are talking about, but she is wearing a flower jacket? All white hair? ”
"Yes! How does the husband know? ”
After receiving an affirmative answer, Xiao Jiu hurriedly followed up.
"Huh? Fu ...... "In the blink of an eye, Xiao Jiu beside him has long disappeared.
Realizing that Xiao Jiu should catch up, Manxue had to stand in place and wait.
After a while, Manxue suddenly heard a sound next to the stove in the house.
With the sound of the spatula falling to the ground, Xiao Jiu finally poked his head out of it.
"Snow! Come and help! ”
As he spoke, Xiao Jiu actually dragged an old woman out of the room.
looked closely, it was really the jade woman from before.
"Husband! That's her! ”
After finishing speaking, Man Xue stepped forward in three or two steps and helped Xiao Jiu pull the old woman out of the stove pit.
"You damn old woman! Say! Who sent you to harm us? ”
After the jade woman was dragged out in embarrassment, Manxue couldn't wait to start asking.
