Chapter 70: Exchange My Heart for Your Heart
Chu Liuyan felt extremely angry about the thoughts in his heart, and his face was also red for a while, but the light in the room was like a bean, dim and difficult to discern, and Zhu Yuanzhang did not notice that Chu Liuyan's face was abnormal for a while.
Chu Liuyan secretly settled his mind and raised his head to Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Wu Guogong is so concerned about Mrs. Ma, I think that in the future, after Mrs. Ma's body recovers, she will definitely feel something, Wu Guogong doesn't have to be so guilty and heartfelt." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang heard Chu Liuyan's advice, sighed slightly and said: "What Chu Junshi said is polite, but the prince of his country does not know that Ying Tian can resist the Han army under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of Han, this time to attack by land and water, if this is the case."
Ying Tian can keep it safe, and the national public will definitely treat the clumsy Jing well, pray to the heavens, even if it is to reduce the ten years of the male lifespan of the national duke, as long as the humble thorn can be restored to the original state, the national duke will not complain. ”
Hearing such mournful words in the mouth of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu Guo, Chu Liuyan's heart suddenly felt an unspeakable sense of compassion, for this matter, Chu Liuyan and Zhu Yuanzhang have the same heart, and they both want to make Ma Xiuying get rid of the strange poison in his body as soon as possible
Get back to life early. However, the purpose of the two is still different, Zhu Yuanzhang is willing to pray for the gods of heaven, and is willing to exchange his ten-year life in exchange for Ma Xiuying's life worry-free. And Chu Liuyan came out of Hema
Xiuying is incomversible, and in addition to not wanting to see Ma Xiuying's fragrance and jade, she also wants to use Ma Xiuying's hand to help Xu Biyi in the mansion of Wu Guogong and is still in the stone room on the ground.
Chu Liuyan knew in his heart that Xu Biyi's last time was framed, it was by no means an ordinary thing, and there seemed to be a huge black hand hidden in Wu Guogong's mansion, vaguely manipulating this matter. Chu Liuyan wanted to find out that he wanted to investigate this matter in depth, clues
But they were cut off one by one, and Ma Xiuying's poisoning today was already unexpected, and I didn't expect that Ma Xiuying's personal maid Cui'er actually committed suicide by throwing herself into a well, although there was nothing unusual about her death for a while, but Chu Liuyan still felt that it was a matter of fact
There must be a huge secret hidden behind it, and it is very likely that Cui'er did not commit suicide in fear of sin, as she sees now.
Since the adversary hidden in the depths can do this, the power must always be not small, and it is by no means easy to deal with. It is very likely that behind these strange things, there are other conspiracies. And this conspiracy is most likely not aimed at anything else
people, but for Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang.
As soon as he thought of this, Chu Liuyan suddenly felt that he was caught in a big net, and behind all this, it was very likely that there was an unusual opponent hidden, but at the moment, he couldn't even touch the opponent's side.
Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, looked at Chu Liuyan and didn't speak for a long time, and didn't know what was going on, so he asked: "Master Chu, today you went to explore the location of Cui'er, who was clumsy and clumsy, and found anything abnormal." ”
Hearing Wu Guogong's question, Chu Liuyan was taken aback, and felt that it was extremely necessary to tell Zhu Yuanzhang about the abnormal situation he found at the well where Cui'er threw himself into the well, and then said: "Chu Liuyan was ordered to investigate the situation of Cui'er's sudden death.
There was nothing suspicious on her corpse, but it was impossible to find it from the spot where the bead flower fell. Cui'er was most likely thrown into a well to death. ”
After hearing Chu Liuyan's words, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, was slightly stunned, was silent for a moment, and then asked: "Since Master Chu said so, he decided that Cui'er was killed by someone, and he must have some evidence, and I don't know if he can say it for his own country."
Got it. ”
Chu Liuyan still had disbelief in his heart in the heart of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu Guo, so he said: "After arriving at the mansion, Chu Liuyan found that it was not big, and there were no trees or anything like that, and there was only one well in the house, if it was Cui'er fruit
It was a suicide, and the bead flower on his head would definitely not easily fall far away from the well, according to Chu Liuyan's inference, someone must have killed Cui'er, and then threw Cui'er's body into the well. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, was very surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "What the Chu military master said, didn't he say that after Cui'er was killed, the body was immediately moved to the well, under the blue sky and white sun, and under the bright sky, there was such a vicious person who killed him in this way
Cui'er, but also cover up the roots, making people suspect that Cui'er committed suicide in fear of crime, this person's mental skills are vicious and abnormal, and the country will definitely bring such wicked people to justice, but I don't know who this person is, I don't know if Chu Junshi knows who the murderer behind it is?
”
When Chu Liuyan heard this, he sighed and said: "This matter is also what Chu Yan is puzzled about, Liuyan asked the maid in the house, Cui'er did not take over the grudge with anyone, and it is really sad and lamentable." ”
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang heard Chu Liuyan's words, he already understood that Chu Liuyan didn't know who was the murderer of Cui'er, so he said: "Since this is the case, there is no need to talk about it now, according to the inference of the national government, Cui'er's death must be a clumsy Jing."
The poisoning is related, and someone must have wanted to murder Clumsy Jing and came up with such a trick to blame others. The prince of the country ordered the guards in the palace to investigate the matter, and he must find out the truth about this matter, so that the murderer behind the scenes has nothing to hide. ”
Chu Liuyan heard Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang's words, and also knew that this matter could only be dealt with like this at the moment, so he investigated Ma Xiuying's situation again, and felt that the toxicity in Ma Xiuying's body had subsided a lot, and only the residual poison was left, so he wrote a prescription and handed it to Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang, retired first, and left Ma Xiuying's house.
The next day, Chu Liuyan entered the mansion again and immediately went to visit Ma Xiuying. Before entering, he had already heard Ma Xiuying coughing in the house, Chu Liuyan was overjoyed, and when he knew the prescription he left yesterday, he was still a little apprehensive, thinking that it would take a few days for Ma Xiuying to wake up.
Now it seems that the prescription is like a god, and it has made Ma Xiuying wake up. Chu Liuyan hurriedly walked inside, Ma Xiuying was poisoned yesterday, fortunately, Chu Liuyan was by his side, his judgment was correct, and he didn't like to use medicine, and he recovered immediately, and he recovered today. It's just that the body has just recovered, and there is nothing else to do mentally well.
As soon as Chu Liuyan walked inside, Ma Xiuying hurriedly greeted, "Sister, you are here." ”
Chu Liuyan asked, then took a look, and felt that the residual poison in Ma Xiuying's body had also been removed, and he was very relieved, feeling that he had not missed Ma Xiuying's life after all.
After this catastrophe, the sisterhood between the two naturally deepened. Chu Liuyan learned that Zhu Yuanzhang, Duke of Wu, had come to visit this morning, and Ma Xiuying took the opportunity to ask Zhu Yuanzhang to still let Xu Biyi come back, and Zhu Yuanzhang, Duke of Wu, had already agreed, so he asked Xu Biyi to be taken away, so he sent a few guards to take care of her.
When Chu Liuyan heard this, he was slightly surprised in his heart, so he asked Ma Xiuying: "Sister, why did you want to get Sister Biyi out so quickly, don't you have to be afraid that someone will secretly make it bad." ”
Ma Xiuying smiled and said: "I also thought about it, so I asked Xu Biyi to move to a place on the edge of my sister's house to live, which can be regarded as a response, Wu Guogong also sent many master guards to secretly guard, I don't think anything will happen." ”
Chu Liuyan heard that Ma Xiuying had this arrangement, and his heart was also determined.
After chatting with Ma Xiuying for a while, Chu Liuyan asked where Xu Biyi was and went to visit Xu Biyi.
After Xu Biyi was taken out of the underground stone room, she was mentally healthy, and she was extremely happy to see Chu Liuyan coming to her side.
After pulling Chu Liuyan and sitting down, Chu Liuyan looked at Xu Biyi's face carefully, as if the symptoms of yesterday's madness had disappeared without a trace, but he was still sad in his heart, so he felt extremely silent.
After talking to Xu Biyi, Chu Liuyan understood that Xu Biyi was still extremely resentful of Li Ningluo in her heart, but at the moment, there was nothing to be done, but the viciousness revealed between the words made Chu Liuyan shudder.
Chu Liuyan vaguely felt that Xu Biyi's resentment towards Li Ningluo might not be able to be resolved in this life.
After a few days, these things slowly calmed down.
Zhu Yuanzhang had just walked back from handling government affairs, and Li Ningluo was already waiting there.
"Condensation," Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "Why are you here?" ”
Li Ningluo's face was a little happy, and she said with a smile: "The concubine is pregnant, and it has been a few days unconsciously, so I let the doctor take a look and say that everything is fine, and I finally lived up to the expectations of the prince." She lowered her face deeply as she spoke.
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed: "That's very good, Condensation, do you know?" What my father hopes for most now is to have a son and a half daughter. I hope you don't disappoint your father, you can give birth to Lin'er for me, and if your father-in-law can become the emperor in the future, his career can be regarded as a successor. ”
"Yes." Li Ningluo was blessed and said: "Ningluo thinks so in his heart. I don't expect to have a son to inherit Guogong's career, but I hope to have a son to continue cigarettes for the Zhu family, and it is not in vain that Guogong will treat me well. ”
Li Ningluo and Zhu Yuanzhang were talking, and a little girl walked in. The little girl saluted Zhu Yuanzhang first, walked up to Li Ningluo with a bowl of decoction, and said, "Niangniang, this is your fetal medicine, you should take it quickly." ”
Li Ningluo nodded, took the medicine bowl, frowned slightly and said, "This medicine is so bitter." ”
"Hahaha, it's really the youngest daughter's house, what's there after drinking the medicine? The so-called good medicine is good for the disease, condense your obedience, and drink it obediently. Only then will our baby be healthy. Come, my lord will personally feed you medicine. After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang took the bowl and fed Li Ningluo the medicine one by one.
In fact, Li Ningluo said that she was pregnant, but she was just pretending, but in fact, she was not pregnant. But in the past few months, she has been acting in front of people, pretending to be pregnant, and deliberately not sharing a room with Zhu Yuanzhang to win Zhu Yuanzhang's trust, so that over time, everyone in the house thought she was pregnant.
As for the doctor, it was the doctor she appointed to take her pulse, and that person had already been bought by her, so no one doubted her.
Li Ningluo has always been a smart person, and all his plans are done seamlessly, and he doesn't know it.
And as her "belly" is getting "bigger" day by day, her plan is getting closer and closer.
Xu Biyi's illness finally slowly recovered. She has just recovered from a serious illness, her whole person is a lot haggard, and her eyes are full of melancholy, and she is no longer the crystal woman who smiled like a flower and was clear and exquisite.
Chu Liuyan instructed Xu Biyi to avoid Li Ningluo from afar, no matter what. Li Ningluo's methods made Chu Liuyan still feel extremely clever, let alone others.
Even Ma Xiuying, such a smart and deep woman, fell under Li Ningluo's hands. And Cui'er's death, Chu Liuyan once suspected that Li Ningluo was in the position. But doubts are just doubts after all, and there is no real evidence to correct them, so naturally she can't help it.
But even if Xu Biyi dodges everything, some things still can't be avoided after all. Especially what Li Ningluo had already planned.
On this day, Xu Biyi's maid helped her slowly walk out of the courtyard and stood in the flower path outside the courtyard gate to linger and enjoy the flowers. Xu Biyi recovered from a serious illness, and when she saw the flowers blooming at first glance, she naturally liked abnormalities in her heart.
The little maid smiled and said, "Mrs. Xu, although you have such a serious illness, now that you have recovered, standing among the flowers, you are more delicate than flowers." ”
Xu Biyi raised her head a little weakly, looked at the dark sky, and said in a daze: "Really? ”
"Yes, how could it not." The little girl giggled.
Xu Biyi ignored her smile at all, and just said to herself: "Even if people are more beautiful than flowers, what can they do?" Even if he is more beautiful than a flower, can he save his heart? ”
"Hehehe............. Sister Xu is trying to save someone's heart? Talk to your sister, or maybe your sister can help with it. Suddenly, a voice like a silver bell sounded, and then, Li Ningluo took her henchmen and stood behind Xu Biyi.
Xu Biyi suddenly saw Li Ningluo's appearance, and a nervous look suddenly appeared on her face. Li Ningluo looked at her with a smile and squinted at her, and said, "Sister Xu, why are you so alarmed? You and I are both the wives of the Duke of the Kingdom, and you are still in the door before me, so it makes sense that I should call you sister affectionately, right? ”
Xu Biyi remembered Chu Liuyan's advice to her in the past, looking at her high belly and unusually charming face, she suddenly felt a little more scared in her heart. She stared at Li Ningluo for a while before she said, "You......... You............ You're right. She tried to calm herself so that she could deal with Li Ningluo's reproach.
Li Ningluo seemed to be ruthless, and slowly walked towards Xu Biyi. In Xu Biyi's heart, she suddenly thought about the day when Zhu Yuanzhang forced her to abort the child. Her child was a boy, and it was all formed, so easily gone. All of this is not directly related to Li Ningluo, and it is more or less related. Xu Biyi absolutely didn't believe that Li Ningluo was innocent.
Because Chu Liuyan told Xu Biyi a lot of things, Xu Biyi has always been obedient to Chu Liuyan and believes everything, since Chu Liuyan said that this person has a problem, then this person must not be so simple.
Li Ningluo was almost close to Xu Biyi's body, her smile was like a flower, and she was moving: "Sister Xu, we serve the same husband, so naturally we should be in the same breath." My sister's business is my business, and my Li Ningluo's child also calls my sister my mother. Sister, the previous things have passed like this, and they will definitely be numbered in the future, don't worry. ”
Xu Biyi felt unspeakably uncomfortable, but it was inconvenient to show it. She had no choice but to smile and say to Li Ningluo: "If you say so, that's it." Then he said, "The wind is strong, I feel a little unwell, and I am gone." After speaking, he ignored Li Ningluo and turned away.
Li Ningluo looked at the figures of Xu Biyi and her little maid, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth that was not easy to be noticed. She secretly said to herself in her heart: This time, only succeed, not fail, she has already paid too much for this plan. If you succeed in failure, not only will you not be able to face Zhang Dingbian, but you will not be able to forgive your mistakes.
That night, Xu Biyi felt a little strange because Li Ningluo suddenly came to visit her at the gate of her courtyard, but as for what was strange, she couldn't say anything.
She specially sent the little maid to invite Chu Liuyan, and the little maid came back to tell her that Zhu Yuanzhang sent Chu Liuyan out on errands, and I was afraid that she would not be able to come back for a while. Xu Biyi became more and more worried in her heart, especially when she thought of Li Ningluo's smile, she felt a little chill in her heart.
She stared at the wall by herself, stunned for a long time. The little maid poured her a cup of tea and asked, "Madam, do you have anything on your mind?" ”
Xu Biyi nodded involuntarily and quickly shook her head.
The little maid asked very understandingly: "Madam, are you feeling uncomfortable because Mrs. Li came to visit you this afternoon?" ”
Xu Bi glanced at the little maid with a complicated expression, and said coldly: "Ripples, I want you to be smart!" ”
"Ripples don't dare, ripples don't dare, ripples don't dare to talk nonsense in the future, please forgive Ripples." The little maid's face changed dramatically in fright.
"Well, I didn't say I blamed you. Even your little maid can see that you can notice it not long after you come to me, so it can be seen that what she has done this time is too obvious. Xu Biyi said slowly.
"Madame is it Mrs. Li? Indeed, she had almost never set foot in us before, but she came suddenly today, as if she had known that you had been cured, Madame, and it was doubtful. ”
"Ripples, even you can see things, do I still need to talk about it? I have always felt inextricably linked to her from the loss of my child to the present. Now, when everything is just getting better, and she's suddenly coming back to us, don't you think she seems to have a mystery that can't be solved? 、
