Chapter 699: Really Send Gold
He Angelica was slightly taken aback when he saw the so-called "crazy woman" in the mouth of the maidservant, because under the thick rouge and lead powder, that face looked very familiar. But it took a little effort to remember that she was Shuqin.
At the beginning, she was a beautiful woman who did not lose her mind, she ate Guan Mo to death, and she was really beautiful in Guan's house for a while. Later, I heard that the child she was pregnant with had fallen, and she became a little crazy, or three points pretending to be crazy and seven points sober. At that time, He Angelica had seen her once, but Guan Mo hadn't seen her since his death.
"What is she doing here?" Looking at the woman with unkempt hair and dancing hands and feet from a distance, He Angelica wondered, "What about the steward of Qingyuan?" Who put her in? ”
The maidservant replied, "This woman has been in through the dog hole in the wall almost every day, and has been making trouble in the garden for months, and the eldest brothers in the courtyard are not in the mood to make trouble with her." Grandma thinks she's noisy, let the big brother in the nursing home take her away later, and grandma go in to enjoy the coolness! ”
He Angelica looked at it for a while, then chuckled and said, "The wind here is cool, let me stand a little longer." ”
The nursing home soon arrived, shouting with sticks, trying to scare Shuqin away or catch her. I don't know if those people are too clumsy, or Shuqin is too dexterous to catch her, and I watched her run more and more in. Shuqin also shouted loudly: "Return my children, thieves, you thieves steal my children, you will not die well!" ”
He Angelica frowned and asked, "What child?" ”
Servant girls, you said a word to me, and answered in a timely manner: "It's the little young master of the seventh master, that crazy woman has been trying to steal the little young master, she is a thief shouting to catch a thief!" ”
"Seventh Grandma still remembers that the last time the second young master of the Guan family came to the garden to make trouble, Miss Qing asked him to take the gold as an apology, maybe it was just a joke, who knew that the second young master Guan really asked people to carry a few boxes of gold ornaments and jade every few days."
"At that time, you were no longer there, and Gongzi Yi ordered someone to take it for the time being, but I didn't expect that crazy woman to hide in one of the boxes and sneak into the garden! It's insidious! ”
"The crazy woman also stole the little master, and I don't know what to feed him, making him seriously ill, and we will be scolded even if it is involved."
"A few days ago, Yi Gongzi came back and picked up the skinny little master, it's really pitiful, the doctor said that the little master may not survive the autumn. That woman is a madman, she doesn't have to resist even if she kills the little master, it's really unreasonable! ”
They gossiped a little, so that He Angelica listened to a rough idea, looked at the other side with a judgmental gaze, turned to leave, and listened to the chaos in the courtyard behind him.
The hazy sky reflected the shape of a crescent moon, the room was lit up, and the table was full of He Angelica's favorite dishes. Mint didn't forget to persuade while distributing vegetables: "The old people say that men are wild horses without halters, and the more they run cross-country, you should also be concerned, Miss." Although the slave maid helped her aunt trick the young lady back to Yangzhou, on that issue, the slave and the maid resolutely stood on the side of the young lady! ”
He Angelica said lazily: "Oh, I want to drink snow fungus soup." ”
Peppermint said indignantly: "In the past, it was Miss Xiao and Bo'er, and after going through a batch, a batch came again." The one named Zixiao, born like a snake spirit, walks twisting and twisting, miss, you can't lose to her! ”
"Oh," He Angelica said again, "I don't eat ginger, I pick all the ginger shreds out of the dish." ”
When several maidservants who served tea heard this, they all came up to help, but Mint hurriedly stopped them and told them all to go out. Mint looked at He Angelica disapprovingly, and said: "You can't be a picky eater, Miss, eating vegetables is like taking medicine, you have to eat it evenly, I have never heard that the medicine is unpalatable, so it was removed from the prescription." You've always been so thin, do you know if it's because you're a picky eater? Saying this, not only did she not listen to He Angelica's words, but she also put Duoduo's ginger into the bowl in front of her.
He Angelica snorted: "I see, don't you understand?" A dish is fried, and there are all kinds of ingredients in it, just like these spicy and bitter ginger shreds, which can't just disappear out of thin air if you say 'don't like it'. ”
Mint understood what she meant, and couldn't help pouting, "How can this be the same?" Those people like ginger are not just bitter, they are all things that cannot be eaten! Is the young lady going to eat it hard? ”
"How so." He Angelica gently pushed away the plate, curled his lips and said, "I never eat dishes that I think are unpalatable, and if the other party refuses to compromise, I have no choice but to persuade it to disappear." ”
June is the rainy season, the next night it rained a drizzle, the drug was completely drained away, He Angelica did not feel sleepy, just lay on his side and pretended to sleep, to the fourth watch, there was a chaotic strange sound of Zzlara into the ears. When I looked up, I saw a black scorpion with teeth and claws, crawling up along the foot of the bed.
And that's not all, the hissing sound of the bed curtain is a reminder that there is a danger lurking there, too.
"Someone, anyone? Mint? ”
She didn't answer even two calls, and she couldn't help frowning. Although the south is hot and humid, there are not many places in Yangzhou where there are scorpions and snakes, not to mention the high terrain of the bamboo building. The appearance of so many snakes and insects at once, since it is not accidental, it is for the sake of people.
Sitting up, tiptoe down the bed, the moment before slipping into the soft shoes, suddenly retracted her feet, turned on the oil lamp at the head of the bed, and inside her shoes lay two leeches, commonly known as vampire evil insects!

Everyone in the East Palace was in danger, and after He Angelica said goodbye, Zhu Yunwen was furious and scolded dozens of internal supervisors. Zhang Meiren's generation is afraid of being affected, and they are all like two people in normal times, better than cats who brush their hair. But none of them knew that Zhu Yunwen was pretending, and He Angelica did not "leave completely".
The plan went according to plan, and it went more smoothly than expected. In the secret room in the back hall, Zhu Yunwen smiled and teased the little baby in the cradle, and fed him with the pineapple milk cubes in the plate.
Peng gradually said embarrassedly: "Your Highness, such a young child has no teeth, you will choke him to death if you feed him this, he can only eat the milk of the nurse." ”
Zhu Yunwen threw away the diced pineapple boringly, poked the little baby's face and smiled: "It's really interesting, not only the dimples are exactly the same as the main palace, but even the two whirlpools on the top of the head, no one believes that he is not the son of the main palace." It's just how to make the courtiers agree with this child, why hasn't Angelica made it clear? ”
Peng gradually took out He Angelica's letter, reread it, and said in a deep voice: "She didn't explain it clearly in her letter, she only asked Her Highness not to act rashly, and at the same time spread the news that you have an heir, especially to the ears of King Yan and others." ”
"This is easy to do," Zhu Yunwen said, "My house is full of their eyeliner, it is difficult to hide the same thing, and it is easy to spread the news." However, what kind of medicine is sold in He Angelica's gourd, can't even you guess Xiao Yan? In case you can't wait for her to come back, it's ......."
Peng gradually said confidently: "Your Highness, rest assured, there will be no such eventuality, as long as the third sister is willing to help us, half of this tough battle has been won." ”
"I hope so."
Hula-The door of the secret room turned open, and Peng Shi walked in and said, "Something's wrong, Your Highness." A Taoist priest who claimed to be a wandering immortal entered the palace and offered a pill of Zhu Dan to the emperor. After the diagnosis of the hospital, the hospital said that the dragon body was fine! ”
"Really?" Zhu Yunwen darkened when he heard this.
He does hope that the emperor will get better, but on the contrary, it is not necessary to be too good. Everything has been properly deployed, and his forces have been exposed to the eyes of his opponents one by one, and the longer the time drags on, the more beneficial it will be for King Yan, because as the eldest grandson of the emperor, he does not have an inch of his own fiefdom, and it is not easy to accumulate a group of his own supporters under the nose of the emperor in the capital.
"It's true," Peng Shi said, "the foreman and eunuch also sent a letter to the ministers above the fifth grade, asking them to prepare to enter the court, saying that the emperor would go to the court after breakfast." There is also news that the emperor got up in the morning to practice swordsmanship and danced vigorously. ”
Peng gradually said in surprise: "Wow! The emperor, who has not been in court for three months, is early again, I don't know if this time, will he issue an edict to establish a new prince? ”
"Haha, this is a great joy!" Zhu Yunwen suddenly laughed loudly, "Quickly change my clothes, I want to be the first to congratulate Grandpa Huang on his recovery, haha!" ”

Mint covered her nose and asked with tears in her eyes, "What kind of water is this, Miss?" It tastes so weird! ”
He Angelica replied: "The honey water is mixed with chicken blood vine, alum and bitter gall, and the snakes and insects are full when they drink this, and they will go back wherever they come from." Snakes and insects are venomous, but they have no ability to think, did the person who used them to harm people ever expect this? ”
Meng Xuan designed to abduct He Angelica back to Yangzhou, so that she could wait in Qingyuan with peace of mind, but Meng Xuan didn't expect that Qingyuan was far away from court disputes, and it was not a clean place, so on the second night of living in the jasper bamboo building, the bamboo building was surrounded by a mysterious golden snake, black scorpion, bloodsucking insects and rodent ant colonies, and the situation was extremely dangerous. The colorful and wriggling scene on the ground was enough to scare seven people to death if they couldn't kill ten people.
Fortunately, Yi Yi has been staying downstairs, using the skill of fire escape to drive those things to one place, and poured the special honey water prepared by He Angelica, so that he can settle down.
"Who is so vicious?" Yitong twisted his sword eyebrows and thought, "Now in the Qing Garden, the most troublesome silk has also left, a slave in the garden, who has such courage!" Why don't you send a message to the pigeon and tell the son, let's go into the city and take shelter for a while? ”
He Angelica hummed in a nasal voice: "Who cares about him!" Yiyu, you will quietly follow behind later, and go see what is going on. Be careful to avoid those insects and ants, don't get bitten. ”
"Yes, miss."
As soon as the words fell, termites and wasps, which had wings and could fly, flapped their wings and flew out of the yard one after another. With the torches in his hands, he held them far behind him and headed northeast.
"Who's living there?" He Angelica asked.
"There are no people, and the northeast corner of the garden is always vacant, and sometimes there are a few sick old women recuperating there." Yitong replied.
