Chapter 16: Dying

There was a touch of helplessness on the corner of Duanmu's mouth, and Mu Mu said: "I have not congratulated An Guiren on being promoted, but the concubine is not angry." She held on a few times, but she didn't stand up, panting, "The concubine was lying in Xunlu Zhai, and that night I also heard the sound of the palace people singing when His Majesty's car stopped, which was very good." The concubine also saw the palace lamp of the honor guard from the window, illuminating the sky of our Yongning Palace, which was very beautiful. ”

Pillow Chun has never been a lotus-like person with a bodhisattva's heart, and he is not close to this Duanmu maiden. But a good girl, seeing that she is about to disappear, is really sad. He comforted her softly: "After you are well, dress up carefully, and Your Majesty will definitely come because of you." After that, she looked at her eyebrows and eyes carefully, trying to find out the two points that looked like Queen Yuan. It's a pity that Duanmu Imperial Girl is sick and out of shape, and her cheeks are sunken, and she only feels very terrifying.

"It's not okay for the concubine to look at it." Duanmu shook her head, two lines of tears slid down her dark cheeks, "Once you entered this imperial city, you haven't seen anything, and when you die, only you, sister, have come to see." Listening to what Qiong'er said, in order to hire a doctor for the concubine, my sister also damaged the apricot blossoms sent out that day. It's all bad for concubines, and their bodies are not angry. "When she said she was sad, she coughed," Qiong'er added...... The concubine's eyebrows and eyes are born like Queen Yuan, which is a blessing. The concubine knows that everyone says that the concubine was pitiful because of His Majesty's pity, so she was able to enter the inner palace. But what about now...... Now your majesty is just like a poor wild cat and wild dog, and he has raised me with compassion. I don't have more than a few days to live, but he turns around and forgets. She coughed abruptly twice, her throat hoarse, "Ahem...... The concubine thought that there was true love in it, and she couldn't sleep before entering the palace, her heart was beating and her face was red, and she was thinking about it...... How to be favored and how to fight for favor...... Concubines are really stupid. ”

"There are busy state affairs, and there are also them." Pillow Chun was sad when she heard her, and she couldn't bear it, so she put a soft pillow on her back.

Duanmu's chest rose and fell with the remnants of the gasp, and it was very difficult to speak: "The concubine doesn't understand state affairs, she only knows the man's mind, and most of them are fake...... Now I don't believe it anymore, and it's too late. ”

Pillow Chun was afraid that if she said such a sad thing again, people would not be good, so he was busy talking about other things: "Since you call me sister, you don't have to call yourself a concubine." I call you by your name, and we can be called sisters. So that I will come to see you often, and you will not be alone. ”

"Concubine...... My sister's single name is a word. ”

Pillow Chun smiled and gently helped her on the pillow: "Duanmu Ruo, it's a good name." Having said that, if the words are just the same number of her lives. If there is nothing, if there is no eyebrow. The year of Ji Xuan is the age of Shaohua Youth, and he is about to die. In his heart, he felt that she was very sick, and thought that she must have not taken good care of her, and told her, "You are too hot here, you must open the window to breathe in the night." The imperial doctor sent by Concubine Qi didn't see the medicine, and I have been eating it for a long time. ”

Duanmuruo lay down uncomfortably and gasped softly: "Sister, don't worry about me." I'll go quietly for a few more days, and it's so relaxing. Now my body hurts again, I have a fever at night, and I am too tormented. ”

"Don't say these frustrating words." Seeing that she was sleeping uncomfortably, Pillow Chun moved the soft pillow again. was pinching the pillow and pulling it up, and his face froze, "......"

"Sister, what's wrong?" Duanmu wanted to get up, but coughed sharply, "But my sister's annoying appearance has provoked my sister...... Unhappy......"

Pillow Chun didn't say a word, only took a pair of silver scissors from the side of the bed, pulled out the soft pillow behind Duanmu Ruo, and twisted it in two clicks. As soon as the snow-white cotton wool scattered, something fell out of it and scattered the bed.

Both of them looked horrified.

But I saw that there were a lot of half-dried pollen roots scattered from the soft pillow, blue and black, and it looked very pickled. Pillow Chun's face was gloomy, and he twisted a touch of his fingertips to sniff, only a shallow smell of aroma.

“…… Sister, what is this? Duanmuruo was so frightened that he only went to lie down on the quilt, unable to exert his strength.

"It looks like the slag of flowers and trees that has been crushed, and it has turned black." Pillow Chun secretly speculated in his heart, "When did you start using this soft pillow?" ”

Duanmu Ruo thought about it for a while, and coughed again: "When I entered the palace on the twenty-first day of March, I used this...... Xunlu Zhai was prepared, and I didn't bring these things into the palace, so I ...... The furnishings placed by the court division are only changed and the satin cover is put on the face. My sister ......," she thought for a moment, "but someone has done it?" ”

Pillow Chun patted her hand: "Don't think about it for the time being, there is an attendant in my place who is from the flower room, and I will ask him to identify it." She smeared the scattered black wool in the veil and sent a palace maid to find Xiao Xizi in the courtyard of Xunluzhai.

Shaoqing Xiaoxizi came over, and Pillow Chun showed him the contents of the handkerchief: "You have seen it in the flower room before, what are these things?" ”

Xiao Xizi took it, looked at it carefully, smelled it again, and frowned. He hurriedly wrapped the thing in a handkerchief: "Little master, you must not smell this smell, it will hurt your jade body." This flavor is strychnine root powder, which has dried up. When the slave was young, he was at home, and there were many in the village, and the flower room in the palace was not allowed to have such things. ”

"Why did it hurt?" Pillow Spring asked.

"This thing occasionally grows in the open forest, and no one picks it. If you smell it at the beginning, you will be dizzy and lose your mind, and there will be fever and weakness for a few more days. If you wear it close to your body, it is easy to be poisoned and not easy to detect. If you don't take it carefully, you can kill people. Xiao Xizi returned the strychnine to Pillow Chun, and said cautiously, "Little master, you can take it carefully, don't get close." ”

"Is there an antidote?" Pillow Spring was horrified in his heart, and he felt that his body was also cold in the summer.

Xiao Xizi replied: "It's simple. Someone in our village was poisoned by this, so they decocted mung bean licorice every day. ”

Pillow Chun only threw the thing on the case and didn't touch it again: "You go to the Tai Hospital, saying that I am always uncomfortable in the bitter summer, and I have to boil water to eat after receiving these things." Just go! ”

Immediately looked back at Duanmuruo. Duanmuruo woke up like a dream, looking at the black roots on the case stupidly, tears pouring down: "It was said that I occasionally felt the wind and heat, but it didn't get better...... I've been living for a long time......"

"It's a very annoying trick. The poisonous flower was crumbled into pieces and hidden in the pillow. Let you fall asleep on the pillow, I don't know how much you smell on weekdays, and how much you accidentally inhale when the pillow is flying, who knows! A chilling fear surged in Pillow Chun's heart. Duanmu Ruo has a soft temperament, and he doesn't dare to say it out loud. Just because her eyebrows look like a two-cent queen, she has not yet entered the palace gate, and people have calculated it.

"It's the Queen Mother...... It's Concubine Qi...... Concubine Mi is still unrestrained...... "Duanmu Ruorou lay on the quilt and sobbed, "If that's the case, it's better to ruin my face, so as not to suffer this unwarranted disaster!" With that, he staggered to his feet, only wanting to pounce on the sharp edges of the mirror.
