Chapter 12: Stealing Medicine (1)
Xia Li's mother's affairs have not changed in the slightest, so all the people who can find out the cause of the incident have disappeared for various reasons, and they have died of illness.
Except for Xia Ye's foolish belief that all this was a coincidence, Xia Li didn't believe it at all.
originally expected his brother to report his mother's affairs to the official, but this person was injured and didn't say anything, and when he woke up, he said that he couldn't make a big deal about his mother's affairs, and that falling into the river would make the Xia family criticized.
Xia Li was so angry that he shouted to him, "Mother didn't die normally, she was killed by someone." As a result, the brother thought that she was stimulated like a fool and told her to go back and rest.
The man didn't listen to anything more, and only ordered Qing Shui to send the young lady back to the house.
Xia Li was so angry that he couldn't help it, so he concentrated on keeping a wake for his mother and stopped going.
In the past two days, her injuries have healed, and every night in addition to keeping a wake for her mother, she secretly exercises.
She must let this body become one with her soul and practice all the previous martial arts, only then can she save her brother and heal his injuries.
What made her strange was that her mother did not have a relative to come to mourn, and later she secretly asked with Chu Han to learn that her mother did not agree with her father's family because of her marriage, and on the day of the wedding, she expelled her mother from the family and was never allowed to communicate.
If it weren't for my grandmother's secret support and the fact that she saved a lot of dowry for her mother early, I'm afraid there would be nothing.
So from the moment my mother married my father, I was disconnected from the family and had no relatives.
Otherwise, how could she say that in the memory of the original owner, she couldn't find anything about her grandfather's family! So it was.
The seven-day vigil hurried by, and on the day of his mother's funeral, it rained in the sky, and Xia Ye was in the shrine supported by the clear water.
The long white procession walked in the rain, scattering the money along the way.
The whimpering cry has been screaming since it came out of the Xia Mansion, and the people who cried were all the subordinates of the Xia Mansion, but Xia Li seemed to be a dry howl without tears, and it didn't make any sense.
Xia Li followed closely behind her brother, next to the cold coffin, although she only called the mother of the woman lying in the coffin for a few days, but she felt that she was really her daughter, and this kind of family affection seemed to have existed for a long time.
The rain was a little cold on his face, and Xia Li's tears were also contained in the rain, his face was wet, I don't know if it was rain or tears.
The heartache expanded little by little, like a piece of flesh on the body being cut off, dripping bright red all the way.
His mother was buried, and Xia Ye was so sad that he couldn't help himself, and he didn't even know that the wounds on his body would split open and bleed again.
Xia Li is crying silently, she doesn't cry loudly now, and her sadness is licked by herself and not shown to outsiders.
"I will definitely avenge you, don't worry!" Xia Li's mother who was quietly buried in the coffin whispered, she didn't need to find evidence to kill, and she didn't hesitate to stain her hands with blood.
But as a last resort, she really didn't want to hide her hands.
But if human life is involved, she will not hesitate to pull out the knife.
The brother and sister knelt at their mother's grave until evening.
The wound behind Xia Ye's buttocks that finally scarred had already been wet and cracked by the rain, not to mention that his cultivation in the past few days had fallen short, and it was more serious than before.
Xia Li counted the number of days her brother took leave, and there were still two days before her brother had to go back to the academy, and she had to practice her kung fu quickly.
When I returned to the boudoir, I didn't let Chu Han in, and I went to practice like crazy.
Because she knew that the family of the official Wang Shumi, an official in the capital, had a medicine, which was said to be able to heal white bones and save the dead.
This medicine is their family's ancestral secret recipe, and when it reaches the wound, it will hurt to death at first, and after an hour, it will naturally scar.
No matter how big the wound is, it only takes a few days to heal as before.
But his family's medicine is secret, I'm afraid even the emperor doesn't know about it, and he never says it to the public, but she still heard it from the palace master.
Later, she was seriously injured during a mission, and the palace master of the Dark Moon Palace gave her a bottle out of nowhere.
After using it, it is really like the legend, it is very easy to use, and now this medicine has also fallen in the Dark Moon Palace, and I don't know if it is still there.
It's obviously not okay to go to the Dark Moon Palace again, there are masters like clouds, and she can't reach out now, and it's almost the same if she is caught and not killed.
Although the envoy was an official of the court, it would be easier to go to his house than the Dark Moon Palace, and his house must still exist, so she decided to take a risk.
Mother has just been buried, and the maids and daughters in the Xia Mansion will definitely be tired and loosely managed, so Xia Li decided to go tonight without further ado.
She knew that there were secret guards in the Xia Mansion, but most of them were on the side of the big house, needless to say, they were all used to protect the big house, and they didn't have that treatment in the second room, except for the occasional person in the backyard against the courtyard wall, there were almost no other places.
As long as she was careful not to be detected, she could easily get out.
At midnight, the sky is lonely, the rain has stopped at the right time, and there is a fresh smell of mud and grass when you go out.
Xia Li wore a set of dark coarse cloth clothes, because when she asked Chu Han to find a set of black clothes during the day, the little girl stared at her with wide eyes, and almost asked the reason, she saw that this was not good, so she changed her mouth to ask for a dark coarse cloth shirt, and said that it was easy to wear it when she went out secretly that day.
It was not easy to find a coarse cloth shirt in Xia Mansion, and then Chu Han asked a guy to buy a set of clothes he didn't wear, and the color of the shirt was dark gray.
Xia Li doesn't care, anyway, she has a set of clothes, although it is a bit big to wear, but she has a belt around her waist and a string at the wrists of her trouser legs, so that this dress does not affect her movements.
She softly pushed the window open the door, and when she saw that there was no one left and right, she swept around and flew towards the place where no one was.
Earlier, she had listened carefully to every place in the backyard, and there was no hidden guard here today, I don't know if it was because she forgot to add someone in the house, or if the person was not there on his own, but it was convenient for her.
I haven't used light skills for a long time, except for the action is a little raw, it doesn't affect the effect at all, and a few leaps out of the Xiangfu, this is the first time she has been here for more than ten days.
She remembered that the privy envoy's home was not far from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he walked a few dozen feet to the northwest.
At this time, the streets were empty, and there were only a few large houses in the distance with wind lanterns still lit up, and the lights were fluttering and flickering, so you could look far away, but you didn't have to struggle so hard to argue the direction.
Xia didn't have much time, and he was afraid that he would not be discovered, so he thought about going back quickly, and flew straight to the northwest, and went directly to the mansion of Wang Shumi without stopping.
I didn't use half a pillar of incense to get to the place, I was secretly happy, as long as I moved this body more, I could unite my heart and hand, and I could still practice my previous skills, but now she can only use eighty percent of her skills, which is enough to deal with ordinary masters who are not too experienced.
The Wang Privy Envoy is very low-key, and even the mansion is not as good as the mansion of some merchants in Beijing, but she has entered the courtyard of the Wang Privy Envoy's house, although it is not luxurious, but any ornament is worth a lot, which can be seen to be hidden.
Xia Li knew that the treasure house of the Wang's Privy Envoy's Mansion was in the study in the front yard, and she remembered that there was a secret pavilion in it, which she had accidentally escaped here to find out if she was injured before.
The royal privy envoy did not have too many experienced masters, only dozens of guards.
Although these more than a dozen guards are not much different from ordinary guards, and their martial arts are obviously much higher than ordinary guards, it is not a big deal for her.
With her current skills, it won't be a big problem to defeat all of them.
But the strange thing is that since she entered this courtyard, she always felt that there was someone behind her, and she hadn't turned around yet, and she hadn't heard the sound of breathing when she listened carefully, which was strange.
She came to the outside of the study and stopped, and looked behind her sharply, who was there, but where did this feeling come from, was it her nervous delusion? No, her five senses have always been very accurate, and this feeling is like there is a master behind her who is much higher than her martial arts.
