When he arrived at Xiangyun Garden, He Angelica unexpectedly took a picture with a man in Xuanyi, a man who was once very familiar.

He was dressed in a dark silver embroidered gentleman's orchid gown, with a white jade belt tied around his waist, and his feet were wearing blue satin soap soles towards his boots, like a person made of flawless jade, standing there quietly, indescribably elegant, as if he was a celestial man, giving people the noble impression of Tsinghua. His complexion is crystal clear, his eyes are as black as ink, without any impurities, clear but bottomless, as if it is ice water in a cold pool, bottomless, and even more mysterious.

It was such a pair of deep eyes, looking at her quietly, as if to suck her into his world.

He Angelica slowed down and smiled reluctantly. She has always been a little big about her makeup, but she was suddenly worried that she would mess up her sideburns, if it weren't for saving people like fighting fires, she really wanted to find a place to look in the mirror and comb her hair again. She never expected that she would meet the deceased again in the back house of the Meng Mansion...... Duan Xiaolou, he's always been okay?

"Are you...... Xiao Qi's daughter-in-law, the lord of Qingning? ”

The person who spoke was a man in fancy clothes standing behind Duan Xiaolou, about fifty years old, with a very heroic face, deep facial features like a knife and an axe, and a taller figure than Duan Xiaolou. She recognized this man as the master of the Meng Mansion, Baoding Hou Mengshan.

He Danggui was determined, and stepped forward to respectfully ask for peace: "Daughter-in-law Zhu, please say hello to your father-in-law, things were in a hurry, and I am very sorry for colliding with my father-in-law and distinguished guests." ”

Meng Shan asked her not to be formal, and went into the house to speak, Duan Xiaolou next to her pursed her thin lips into a line, and did not say a word, but regardless of Meng Shan's presence, she met in such a situation, and a pair of dark pupils stared at her face without blinking. He Angelica was a little embarrassed, and he was worried about being seen by his father-in-law Meng Shan, so he had to bury his face in his chest. Look, look, she's hiding her face and she's gone, just look at her bun.

After entering the house, they sat down, and the maid came up with tea, and He Angelica explained the intention.

In fact, she didn't plan to meddle in the affairs of Mrs. Su's courtyard, one is that she is "grounded", and she didn't provoke much trouble; Second, Meng Xuan did explain before leaving, the fifth master Meng Chen had something wrong with his mother, and most of what happened to his mother was related to Meng Chen.

He Angelica was honest and diligent as her Meng family's daughter-in-law, and in line with the principle of "marrying and obeying her husband", she helped Meng Chen save a poplar. I also heard Hu Yang say that Mrs. Su was poisoned by Luo Chuanwu, and He Angelica also knew a little about this imperial doctor with the name of the poison "Chuanwu", and knew that he was a difficult character. Now the pill in her hand may be Mrs. Su's antidote, or it may just be a temporary antidote, and she can only diagnose Mrs. Su's pulse before slowly observing, because detoxification is not her specialty.

"Here's the thing," He Angelica made up a reason, "The fifth master learned from the seventh master that his daughter-in-law knew some pharmacology, so he showed me this medicine. So I guessed that someone poisoned my mother-in-law and then sold the antidote to my father-in-law, and the bottle in my hand was not a cure, but an antidote to detoxification. ”

When Meng Shan heard this, his face sank like iron, and he asked repeatedly: "Are you sure?" This is not the Luo family's medicine that cures all diseases? You say someone poisoned? Who are you referring to? ”

When things got to this point, He Angelica didn't plan to hide it anymore: "Father-in-law, I don't know if you still recognize me, I met you once at the banquet in Luofu." To tell the truth, I lived in Luofu for two years, and the so-called Luofu heirloom medicine was a kind of medicinal jujube that I concocted, and later I also made some pills called 'Rejuvenation Pill', all of which were dedicated to Mrs. Luo. After eating dates and medicine, the old lady not only looked new, but also cured many years of stubborn diseases, so gradually some people said that there is a miracle medicine for rejuvenation in Luofu, and how young can you be after taking a pill, which is pure nonsense. ”

"What?" Meng Shan asked incredulously, "The Luo family's treasure medicine was actually made by you?" ”

He Angelica nodded solemnly: "This matter is true, but the Rejuvenation Pill is a medicine for the treatment of Old Lady Luo's wind disease, and the symptoms are wrong, such as cold and headache, even if you take a thousand pills, it won't work, how can you cure a hundred diseases?" This matter is really nothing, and I didn't expect that an ordinary medicine would be passed on as an elixir. And as far as I know, the medicine made by the highest pharmaceutical level in Luofu, that is, the ginseng and deer antler paste of Sanqingtang, is not even comparable to the Soul Rejuvenation Pill and Knowing Destiny Paste of the Medicine Master's Hall, and it is definitely impossible to make good pills. ”

Meng Shan sighed and said, "Since Mrs. is poisoned, let's give her the antidote first and then talk about the rest." Luo Chuanwu and others deceived people too much, and I will settle his accounts with him completely! ”

Unexpectedly, Meng Shan was not confused, and guessed that the person who poisoned him was Luo Chuanwu, and the purpose was to pull the Meng family into the water and accompany the Luo family to a big vat of "rebellion". He Angelica took out the medicine bottle hidden in the placket, his eyes were like a pool of autumn water, and he said impatiently: "Father-in-law, Luo Chuanwu is a master of drug making, good at serial poisons, and then make antidotes in sections. If this bottle is just a temporary antidote, it will not be of much use if you eat it, it will relieve the pain for a while, but it will deepen the toxicity, so you should consider it carefully before eating. ”

Meng Shan was shocked: "Luo Chuanwu is so insidious! How can this be? ”

He Angelica first suppressed and then raised, and then said: "The daughter-in-law only said that there is such a possibility, and the specific situation is not clear, now it is best to find a doctor who is good at detoxification and diagnose the pulse of the mother-in-law." She wanted to recommend herself directly, but she was not very sure that she would cure Mrs. Su. Meng Shan is an old minister, a powerful figure, or he knows some powerful detoxification master who is a hundred times stronger than her. She should not come out first, be humble and not arrogant.

Meng Shan was worried again: "A doctor who is good at detoxification? There are more than 20 imperial doctors in the Tai Hospital, who knows which one will detoxify, they are all useless old masters. ”

Duan Xiaolou, who was silent, suddenly opened his mouth: "Shi Bomo is in a hurry, the person you are looking for is far away in the sky and close in front of you." ”

"Who?" Meng Shan asked hurriedly. When it came to the safety of his beloved wife, Meng Shan's mind was upset, and he was completely led away by the nose, and he never thought about it, He Angelica Baba came to deliver the medicine in person, didn't he just come to see Mrs. Su.

Duan Xiaolou raised his chin and pointed at He Angelica from afar, his eyes were so dark that it made people's hearts palpitate. He said in a sigh-like tone: "She is the most brilliant doctor in the world, and Shibo will know it when he tries it." ”

He Angelica lowered his eyes, and finally said what he meant: "Father-in-law, I want to see my mother-in-law, if I can't do it, my father-in-law will find a better doctor." ”

If Meng Shan didn't allow it, let the maid lead He Angelica to the inner hall right away.

After she entered, the host and guest had tea in silence. At this time, Meng Shan also saw that since the moment the seventh daughter-in-law appeared, Duan Xiaolou's attitude was not quite right, Meng Shan suddenly thought of something, his expression changed, and he asked in a tight voice: "The favorite woman you mentioned, could it be her?" ”

When drinking tea before, Duan Xiaolou said that there was a woman in Meng's mansion, who was haunting him, and he was willing to use the "Xuanwu Spoon" to marry that woman. At that time, Meng Shan thought that Duan Xiaolou had taken a fancy to one of his three daughters, and replied in embarrassment, the eldest daughter and the second daughter both thought that they had a marriage contract, although the other party did not have the same talent and family background as the nephew, but the marriage contract was trustworthy and could not be easily changed. Duan Xiaolou smiled, then diverted the words, saying that he would discuss this matter later.

Now seeing Duan Xiaolou's unusual expression, as well as that focused and deep gaze, he only stared at He Angelica's little face and looked at it endlessly, without a trace of evasion; He Angelica didn't look at Duan Xiaolou at a glance, and his small ears were red. This can't help but make Meng Shan suspicious.

Duan Xiaolou put down the teacup and did not answer Meng Shan's question, but said: "The Holy Lord asked Dajieli, the first craftsman in Persia, to beat a Xuantie Heavenly Lock, and made four keys of Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu. Meng Shibo, you have the green dragon and white tiger in your hands, the little nephew has Xuanwu, and as for the Vermilion Bird, it was originally collected by the national teacher Qijing, but now it must have fallen into the hands of Tianjizi. The things stored in the ice warehouse behind the Sky Lock, Shibo, have you never been moved? ”

Hearing this, Meng Shan thought that Duan Xiaolou was sent by the emperor to test him. So Meng Shan said calmly: "The old man is a very popular minister, loyal to the emperor, holding two keys in his hand, the old man is sincerely afraid, and he will never dare to think of anything else." ”

Duan Xiaolou smiled and said in a very soft voice: "Shibo, don't get me wrong, the 'Xuanwu Key' is just a dead thing to me, it's useless for me to keep it, even if I live for a hundred years or two hundred years, I'm just a lonely person." There is only one woman in this world who can make me happy, and I want to exchange that dead thing for a living person with Shibo. If Shi Boken is fulfilled, the little nephew is willing to take her out of the capital for ten years, and then return to the former residence after the world is settled. ”

"Who?" Meng Shan's two thick eyebrows furrowed.

Duan Xiaolou's eyes narrowed lazily into a slender shape, and his dark eyes stared intently at a Ruyao tea cup on the opposite table, which was the tea cup that He Angelica had just used. A soft voice echoed in the room, as light as a gust of wind, and Meng Shan, who had always had good ears, almost failed to capture those shocking words.

"That man...... Far away, close at hand. She is the cloud in my heart, how many times I have let go, and I have forgotten that there is such a person in the world, but when I look up at the sky again, for some reason, that cloud actually floats back again, and it still hangs above my head and heart not far away. And so on for several years, without stopping. ”

Duan Xiaolou paused, and said to himself: "Over the years, I have served Jinyiwei, done a lot of things, killed people, and saved people, through the ultimate wealth and glory in the world, I have almost broken through the realm of life and death in the mysterious divine skills; In the officialdom, I took the title in my twenties, and I was fortunate to be on a par with Shi Bo, which can be regarded as the peak. However, every day when I am free, when I am alone, I only think about that person over and over again, only her face. ”

"Tell me, who is she?" Meng Shan asked again.

Duan Xiaolou looked at Meng Shan from the teacup, his eyes were full of pleading, and he said slowly: "From now on, I don't want to ask about the general trend of the world anymore, I am willing to hand over my Xuanwu key and talisman to Shibo before the troubled times will arise, and take her back to the mountains and forests." I hope that Shibo will make a fire in the Meng Mansion and 'burn her to death' with a fire, so that she will become a non-existent person. It's an easy thing to do, isn't it? I heard that the seventh prince will soon take the lord of Xiancao as his wife, and this time he will go to Shuntianfu, and the seventh prince will also be accompanied by beauty. To the Seventh Prince, she is just one of the many people; For me, it's the only one that can't be replaced. ”

Meng Shan listened quietly, moved his lips unconsciously, and was about to say something, when a green-clothed maid came out of the inner hall, and replied crisply: "Madame has woken up, Seventh Grandma asked the master to come in and talk." ”

Meng Shan asked the maid to go in first to wait, then got up and walked in the direction of the inner hall, silently lowered his head to think about something, walked out more than a dozen steps, fixed his body again, turned back to the guests in the hall and said: "Zhizi Mo Ruo's father, that girl is also the person that Xiao Qi often hangs on his lips, I know a little bit about his thoughts." No matter how good your proposal is, I will have to consider it for a few days before I can reply to you. ”

Duan Xiaolou got up and made a long gesture: "That little nephew will go home first and wait for the letter, please think twice." ”
