Chapter 48: Love is Ill-fated and Poisonous (1)
The morning sun has not risen, the light is hazy, and when Xiu wakes up, there are no clouds on his side. Thinking back to last night, he had a leg problem and was so emotional...... In the end, both of them were lingering burnout. Also, the aftertaste is endless......
Just thinking about it slightly, Izuku already felt his cheeks burn hot. She forced herself not to think about last night, after all, she was determined to be with her from now on, and skin to skin blind dates were inevitable. It's just that she never thought that Yun Ci would wake up so early after a beautiful night.
Chuxiu understood his thoughts, so he got up silently and went to serve in Qingxinzhai as usual.
As soon as I walked to the door of Qingxinzhai, I felt a sweetness in my throat, and I quickly covered my mouth and coughed lightly. I thought it was okay, but it was in the palm of my hand...... It's a touch of red blood again.
Izumi was surprised, obviously since coughing up blood that day, there has been nothing unusual in the past 20 days, how can it be ...... today
In a trance, Chuxiu seemed to have grasped something, but the thought only passed for a moment and disappeared without a trace.
Out of Xiu was afraid of delaying Yun Ci's affairs, so he hurriedly waved away his thoughts, and hurriedly turned back to the courtyard to wash his hands and change his clothes.
After tossing for a long time, when I entered Qingxin Zhai again, it was naturally nearly half an hour later than before. Fortunately, Yun Ci didn't think much about it, she just thought that she was tired last night and got up late.
Obviously, there have been two lingering skin-to-skin blind dates, but when Xiu sees Yun Ci, he will still be ashamed. Her pair of watery eyes lined with a red glow, like the crimson color of the sky before the rising sun.
Yun Ci looked at it in his eyes, and he was endlessly deep.
"Why don't you stop?" He had the intention to tease her, hooking his lips and smiling, like Qinghui.
Hearing this, Izumi's face turned even redder, suppressed the panic and suspicion of coughing up blood, smiled reluctantly, and did not speak.
Yun Ci knew that she was very thin-skinned, and she couldn't stand the teasing, and she also knew that she would accept it when she saw it. I remembered that when I went to visit her last night, the heavy stack of account books, my tone changed, and I reprimanded it lightly: "You can't stay up late in the future, those account books are not your errand." ”
Izuku bit her lip: "I don't want to be a useless person." ”
"How can it be useless?" Yun Ci comforted softly: "You can play the piano and write very well, how can the woman I like be useless?" ”
Out of Xiu finally raised her eyes, glanced at Yun Ci quickly, and her face was delicately red: "It's all shows, I can't help you." ”
Yun Ci only held one of her hands and did not speak.
The fingertips of the two intertwined, his palm against the back of her hand, warm, heavy, and haunting to the touch. It is said that "ten fingers are connected to the heart", out of Xiu's thought, if it is really connected to the heart, then he and her are also heart-to-heart at this moment.
The feelings came so quickly and so unexpectedly that she was hardly ready to accept them. But now, in the end, he still followed the meaning of Yun Ci and embarked on the road he paved for her.
Since then, no matter whether the sun is shining in front of us, or the wind and rain, he and her go hand in hand, through thick and thin. She didn't want a name, and she knew that she was from a humble background, and she would not be able to get his most justifiable wife, but she wanted to be with her for such a long time, and her remaining wishes were enough.
The two felt the warmth from each other, and there was a kind of warmth for each other. But for some reason, the source of these four words suddenly popped up in Xiu's mind-
"The spring is dry, the fish are on land, they are wet, and they are wet, and they are foamy, so it is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes."
In just a moment, Fang Cai's pulse warmth had been replaced by panic, and the bottom of my heart sank, and then I thought of my coughing up blood this morning, and I actually gave birth to a feeling that I would soon be in the world.
Thinking like this, he saw that Yun Ci had tightened his hands: "What are you thinking?" ”
Izuku hurriedly came back to her senses and shook her head with a smile.
"When you lost your voice, you were always distracted; Although he can speak now, this problem cannot be changed. Yun Ci let go at the right time, and smiled gently: "It's not a good thing to be too careful." Cranky thinking is even more hurtful. If you have something on your mind, tell me it. ”
Izuku looked at Yun Ci's calm and clear gaze, and muttered for a moment, not knowing whether to tell me about coughing up blood again this morning. He was thinking about himself, but at this time, he heard Zhuying say outside: "Master, Doctor Qu is here!" ”
"Please!" Yun Ci showed a little joy on his face, not thinking that it had only been more than 20 days, and Qu Fang had already arrived in Fangzhou from the Nanxi border.
He looked at Chu Xiu again and said with a smile: "When you were infected with the epidemic a month ago, I ordered all over the country to find Qu Shen Doctor, thinking that I could treat you, but now that the epidemic has passed, I found it." ”
"Isn't that the Qu Divine Doctor going to run for nothing?" Izuku chuckled softly.
"How could it be?" Yun Ci looked at her ruddy complexion, still feeling unrelieved, so he smiled and said, "I have to work hard to take a look at the throat disease for you, but don't leave any root causes." He deliberately avoided coughing up blood, just afraid that she would worry too much.
Izuku pursed her lips and smiled, no longer speaking.
After a while, Zhuying led Shen Yu's master and the holy hand of medicine Qu Fang in: "Master Hou, Miss Xiu, I haven't seen you for a long time." Qu Fang bowed his hand as he entered the house.
"Qu Shen Doctor is polite." Yun Ci had lived in Qu Fang's Mansion for several years, and he had a good relationship with him like a close relative, so he was not polite, and went straight to the point with a little apology: "This time, I asked the divine doctor to return to Yanlan City, originally for the sake of the plague. But God bless Fangzhou, the plague has passed, but there are a few other little things that want to bother you. ”
"When the next comes, there is nothing to follow. Hou Ye, but it doesn't hurt to say. Qu Fang couldn't hide the dust of the servants, and said with a smile.
"After a pandemic, Izuku is now able to speak. It's just that I coughed up blood a few days ago, and there is no sign of my pulse, so I would like to ask you to treat it again. Yun Ci said.
"Can you speak?" Doctor Qu was a little surprised, and stroked his beard: "Congratulations girl." ”
"I'm tired of the doctor." Izuku bowed and thanked him.
Doctor Qu reached out to ask for help, and did not avoid the interference of men and women, pinched Chuxiu's pulse for diagnosis and treatment, and then probed her throat with the light. For a long time, he did not speak.
As time slowly passed, Yun Ci only felt that his heart was gradually lifting, and he couldn't go up or down, lest the divine doctor assert that he would diagnose some serious illness for Xiu. I don't know how long it took like this, but I heard Qu Fang smile and say, "Congratulations girl, it's no big deal." ”
Izuku breathed a long sigh of relief, and remembered that he had coughed up blood twice, which should have been caused by long-term loss of voice and caused blood congestion in his throat, so he was relieved.
Unexpectedly, Qu Fang smiled again: "Master Hou, since you are on this trip, I will also diagnose your safe pulse." ”
Izumi felt that Qu Fang's words were ordinary and did not have much meaning, but Yun Ci's heart sank, and his face was as usual, so he only nodded and said, "There is labor." He stretched out his wrist as he spoke.
Qu Fang probed Yun Ci's pulse again, pondered for a moment, and said, "It's okay too." After saying that, he put his hand away and said calmly: "The last time I came to Yanlan City was invited by King Mu, I came and went in a hurry, I haven't seen the fourth aunt's wife, I don't know if I can have a chance to meet her this time?" ”
Mrs. Fourth? Izumi was a little puzzled when he heard the words on the side. Don't say that the ladies of Yunfu shouldn't see people easily, even if they want to meet, shouldn't Qu Fang see Mrs. Tai first? How could he ask to see the fourth aunt's wife?
Speaking of the fourth aunt Tai Luanqing, Chuxiu only heard her name but did not see her. All the impressions of her only come from a few words that others seem to have. For example, she is young and beautiful, and she is in her prime; For example, she lives in a solitary courtyard and does not go out easily; For example, the other two aunts and wives accompanied Mrs. Tai to breakfast every day, but she never appeared.
These rumors have portrayed the fourth aunt's wife of Yunfu as a rather mysterious character, and people can't help but want to find out more. But out of Xiu knows the measure.
In the more than two months since she came to Yunfu, the most down-to-earth news she knew about the fourth aunt's wife was that this aunt lived in the "Cold Wave Garden" at the west end of the inner courtyard of Yunfu.
Izumi was thinking about all kinds of things about the fourth aunt's wife, but when she heard Yun Ci, she already smiled lightly: "The fourth aunt doesn't step out of the garden gate all day long, but today Doctor Qu came to visit, presumably she would be happy to see her." ”
After saying that, he turned to Zhuying and said: "You go to Lengbo Garden, and I only say that Doctor Qu is invited in Qingxinzhai." ”
Bamboo Shadow took the order and left.
At this point, Izuku realized that he had forgotten to serve tea to Qu Fang. She was busy and had just finished brewing the hot tea, and Yun Ci had already smiled at her: "I haven't seen Doctor Qu for a long time, let's chat for a while, you go back first." ”
Izumi was a little disappointed when she heard this, she wanted to take this opportunity to see the fourth aunt, but now, she ...... In the end, he couldn't go against the meaning of Yun Ci, so he had to retire with a smile.
Yun Ci saw that the graceful back had gradually drifted away, so he slowly withdrew his smile and looked at Qu Fang: "Divine doctor, please speak up, what's wrong with Xiu?" ”
Qu Fang pondered for a moment, and then said: "I take the liberty to ask, Master Hou and Miss Xiu...... But have you ever had a skin-to-skin relationship? ”
Yun Ci is very calmly acquiescing.
Seeing this, Qu Fang sighed lightly: "Now I don't dare to diagnose it, so I can only ask the fourth aunt's wife to come for another diagnosis." ”
Let the fourth aunt come to diagnose...... Yun Ci's heart sank: "Could it be that he was poisoned?" ”
Qu Fang didn't reply immediately, and after a while, he said: "The fourth aunt was born in the Jiang clan and is the best at poisoning. Yes or no, she still has to be diagnosed. ”
Hearing this, Yun Ci frowned, and his expression became more and more solemn. The room fell silent, and a worrying silence slowly drifted until the voice of the bamboo shadow sounded again: "Master, the fourth aunt is here." ”
As soon as the words fell, a woman had walked in outside the door, wearing a dark blue to almost black tight-sleeved tulle, and her skirt was swinging at her feet, not on the ground. She wore an unusual bun on her head, long gold-painted earrings adorned with her ears, and a gold-worn belt half a foot wide around her waist, adorned with wild and dancing golden snakes, which had a wild and cold style.
It's just that the dress is not like the ordinary dress of a woman in the high gate, and it can even be described as "weird".
The person who came was the fourth aunt Tai Luanqing, with eyebrows and nose, and a very white complexion, compared to Xiu's white and translucent snow muscles, she was more white like smoke gauze and satin, especially the bridge of the nose was extremely high, and the pupils were almost pale brown, like ...... Peephole.
is really from the Jiang family, this fourth aunt is too Luanqing, and she has an exotic beauty.
But seeing that she walked into the Yunci study by herself, she didn't bow down and salute, but only bowed her head and said, "Master Hou." Her expression was cold, she didn't see a smile, and it was really like her residence "Cold Wave Garden", with cold waves floating around her.
Fang Cai Zhuying had already said on the road that the divine doctor Qu Fang was here, and Luan Qing asked bluntly: "Hou Ye and Qu divine doctor called me here, what is the matter?" ”
Before Yun Ci could speak, Doctor Qu Shen had already explained the symptoms of Chu Xiu and Yun Ci.
When Luan Qing heard this, he didn't fake a groan, stretched out a dazzling white jade hand, and said to Yun Ci: "Please let me explore my neck." As he spoke, he took a step forward, lifted the cloud slightly and glanced at it.
"Master Hou and that girl from Xiu, can they have a skin-to-skin relationship?" Luan Qing and Qu Fang's question are exactly the same.
Yun Ci said frankly "um", his eyebrows were as tight as mountains and rivers, and he did not hide his worry: "Do you need to summon Xiu in again?" ”
"No need." Luan Qing folded his hands on his waist, and said with a cold and categorical expression: "I have only diagnosed Hou Ye, and I can already confirm that the two of you are poisoned." ”
After a pause, he added: "It is the same as the poison that the old marquis and his wife were in back then. ”
