Volume 1 A Changing Drum: Flowers Bloom on Mo, Two Lovesick Chapter 91 Plotting with Each Other
3โฒยทยทยทยทยท Qi Zhengxiu received He Zhitang's letter three days ago. In addition to the usual greetings, the letter finally mentioned that because she went to Anhua Temple outside the city to copy scriptures and recite Buddha, Xiao Tao was picked up by her brother in Yunwan Village. She wanted to look for it, but she heard the rumors from the people in the house. Xiao Tao seems to have something to do with that person.,And I went to the pharmacy to catch a medicine like cantharid, peach kernel, and Chuanqiong.ใ She didn't know what to do anymore, so she wanted to hear what he meant.
He Zhitang's letter was carefully written and very skillful. She didn't explicitly say that Xiao Tao had taken abortion pills, but what the effect of cantharids and other three-flavor drugs together is known to anyone who knows a little about pharmacology. If the child was not Qi Zhengxiu's, he would naturally break off the idea of taking Xiaotao as a concubine, and if the child was his, he would inevitably be sad and sad. The key is that the time has been delayed, and the raw rice has already become cooked rice. No matter what Qi Zhengxiu thinks, it can't be recovered. I can't rely on her.
Qi Zhengxiu read the letter carefully, his brows frowned slightly, he didn't expect He Zhitang to be a very thoughtful person, a smart person, and it was really suitable to be a wife. It's just that he doesn't like her playing this trick on himself.
Qi Zhengxiu leaned on the couch. The frost-white long sleeves hung down to the ground, lining the jade-like face, and the whole person was overflowing with a trace of coldness. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and Xiao Tao's shy and timid figure shook in his mind, what did that little woman do when she bought abortion pills? Will it be for her own use? Qi Zhengxiu's heart cooled slightly. His fingers clasped heavily on the couch.
After thinking for a long time, Qi Zhengxiu got up and went to the table and replied to He Zhitang. The attendants were ordered to be sent back to Jinling in a hurry.
The night was deep again, and Qi Zhengxiu did not tie his hair, hair like ink, and clothes like snow. It's a bit bleak in the moonlight. Qi Zhengxiu walked out of the camp and looked at the campfire on the other side, and his mood was a little heavy.
As the battle progressed, the large camp outside Haozhou City had already withdrawn. Now the main force of the battle is He Shizhong and He Zhixun father and son, he and the prince together stationed in the north of Haozhou City beside the Huai River to prepare reinforcements, yesterday transferred 30 warships over, now the river is low and shallow, if the water war, the advantage of the Tang army is not obvious.
The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty drove the expedition in person, and his morale was boosted, and he heard that there were reinforcements from the King of Wei coming over. Haozhou, I'm afraid it won't last long.
Little Momo's life in the carriage was not sad. The old man who drove the car was very good, and he also took care of Xiao Tao all the way, and gradually got used to chatting with Xiao Tao, and talked more.
Xiao Tao wanted to go to the outskirts of Haozhou again, so she asked, "Let's pass by Haozhou anyway, why don't we go outside the city to have a look?" โ
"Haozhou City has started a war, what's there to see." The old man shook his head and said, "This kind of place, the farther away the better, others can't run, you still have to go to see it." โ
"But??? But ???" Xiao Tao was very embarrassed, she was really a little unwilling to pass by with Qi Gongzi like this, "I have a friend there." โ
"I can't care about any friends." The old man drove the carriage fast, "When the war is going on, Haozhou City must have drawn a defensive line, and there are soldiers guarding it." You can't even get through the gates. The road we are taking now is not the official road of Haozhou, and the official road has been broken. We're on a small road, and maybe there are soldiers on both sides ready to fight. Let's go quickly, the front will soon be out of Haozhou, not far from Jinling. โ
Xiao Tao was so upset that she was about to fly, so she hurriedly got into the back of the carriage and held on to it honestly, even if she was entangled, there was no way.
The carriage sped all the way, and when it was almost evening, it stopped at an inn in the southern suburbs of Haozhou City. The old man went to tie up the carriage, Xiao Tao entered the inn and asked for two cheap guest rooms, found a table downstairs and sat down, ordered two steamed buns, and two bowls of porridge, and quietly waited for the meal to be served.
The downstairs dining place is not large, only seven or eight tables are set up for the guests to eat. It's not yet a meal, and there are very few people, except for Xiao Tao, there are few people.
On the table next to Xiao Tao sat a doctor of the rivers and lakes, running north and south with a disguise. At the moment, he is putting aside the disguise and eating noodles alone. Xiao Er of the inn served him a plate of pickles, he looked up at Xiao Er casually, but his face changed: "Wait! โ
Xiao Er was stunned for a moment, and the traveling doctor pointed at him and asked, "You have been waking up a lot lately, with insomnia and night sweats?" Still have weak soles of your feet? Dizzy during the day, nauseous and don't want to eat? โ
Xiao Er patted his thigh, and he couldn't take care of his busy work, so he hurriedly sat down next to the traveling doctor: "What you said is too right." A while ago, I went out of the door, walked a relative, and came back like that. I just think I'm tired, don't I? What is wrong with me, sir? He put his arm on the table.
Doctor You shook his head: "No need to call the pulse." You're glad you met me, otherwise you wouldn't know how you died. You're not tired. โ
Xiao Er's face changed greatly: "What's wrong with that?" โ
"Your relative must live in the southwest of Shu, right?" Doctor You glanced at Xiao Er.
Xiao Erji nodded like pecking rice: "Yes, yes." โ
"That's right." The traveling doctor took out two pills from the blanket on his back, "You have miasma poison." Go back and quickly grind these two pills, and put the ashes at the bottom of the pot, rhubarb, bellflower, and then take the cool well water and fry them, just take them twice. โ
Xiao Er was stunned in place, and it took a while for him to come back and drag the arm of the doctor to thank him for his kindness. He used his own salary to invite the traveling doctor to eat the tendon meat before he gave up.
After such a toss, several tables of people nearby all gathered in front of the traveling doctor, some of them gave way to the pulse, and some of them let them see their faces. Xiao Tao couldn't help but put down her chopsticks, leaned in front of her and squeezed in. Help to plan.
After waiting for a long time, Xiao Tao finally interjected: "I want to ask you, after being poisoned, there are sequelae, what should I do if I itch all the time?" โ
Doctor You stared at her and smiled slightly, Xiao Tao quickly took out two pieces of broken silver from his sleeve and handed them to him. Only then did the traveling doctor open his mouth: "What kind of poison is it?" โ
"See blood seal your throat." Xiao Tao thought for a while before remembering the name of the poison in Qi Gongzi, "At that time, Lang Zhong prescribed a prescription, but after encountering the heat, his whole body itched, and there were red lines in the blood vessels on his hands." "Little Peach recalls as much as she can.
"See blood seal your throat?" Doctor You smiled, "Wipe it on the arrow, the person who fell for this poison must be a general, so Lang Zhong didn't dare to use a medicine and ask for insurance." But it is precisely because of the lack of that flavor medicine that the efficacy is much worse, so that although it survives, it leaves sequelae. โ
"What medicine?" Xiao Tao asked curiously.
"Wolf venom." The traveling doctor replied, "Take two coins from the root of the wolf venom and add it, and it won't be like this." However, generally Langzhong does not dare to use this flavor medicine, and if it is not used well, the person will die. โ
"So what now?" Xiao Tao asked anxiously, "Is there any other way to remedy it?" โ
"It's not that there is no way to remedy it." Doctor You paused for a moment and said, "If you have the fate to see you again, I will do acupuncture for him a few times, and it can be cured." Or, this method can also be alleviated. As he spoke, he motioned for Xiao Tao to come over.
Xiao Tao hurried over, Doctor You asked her, she nodded slightly, Doctor You said a few more words, Xiao Tao was a little dumbfounded, her eyes widened, and it took a while to come back to her senses, twitching the corners of her mouth and saying to Doctor You: "You still tell me where to find you, I'll take him to you for needles when I arrive." โ
Dr. You stroked his beard and smiled: "I wander outside for most of the year, and I only go home for three months in winter." Yuezhou Wanchun Hall, Huo Zhong. You'll find out when you go and ask. โ
"Okay, it's a matter of words." Xiao Tao inquired again and again about the location of Wanchun Hall, and then confidently got out of the crowd and returned to his seat to eat. A few days of gloom are a little refreshing at the moment, and I finally have a little gain, the next time I see Qi Gongzi, you can tell him this, and he won't have to be so uncomfortable.
Two days after He Zhitang's letter was sent, he received a reply from Qi Zhengxiu. It seems that he replied immediately after receiving the letter. He Zhitang's heart was still a little pounding, I don't know how Qi Zhengxiu would react?
He Zhitang stepped back, sat down at the table, lit a candle, opened the letter and read it carefully. At the beginning of the letter, he talked at length about the hardships of the war ahead, as well as a faint concern for her. I think I'm missing her, right? "I still remember the late autumn in the courtyard, the pipa is clanging, the two phases are harmonious, and there are relatives." This seems to be her, and He Zhitang's heart is filled with a hint of sweetness.
At the end of the letter, in a few short lines, he replied to Xiao Tao's matter. But it slowed He Zhitang's heartbeat by half a beat. Qi Zhengxiu was to the effect that he had openly declared Xiao Tao to be his concubine in front of the three armies, and now he was picked up by the Ye family, which was not only a shame for him, but also a shame for the prince. He will send someone to Yunwan Village to ask for someone, no matter what she has experienced, he will be a concubine at home, and his face will be there.
In case, if Xiao Tao can't be found, or Xiao Tao has three long and two short, it will inevitably make the soldiers misunderstand that he doesn't want to be responsible for doing it deliberately, so he has to treat Xiao Tao as his wife and bury him in the ancestral grave of the Qi family according to the rites of his wife, so as to fulfill his promise.
At the end of the letter, he also instructed He Zhitang to take care of his body, not to be annoyed by this little thing, "Quiet self-cultivation, peace and tranquility." โ
After reading the letter, He Zhitang slammed the letter on the table, and his fingernails were broken twice, and he didn't notice it. How quiet? How? Qi Zhengxiu's seemingly breezy tone and casual attitude made her feel distressed.
Is he pretending to be stupid, or does he really not understand? Seeing that he cares about it all over, he doesn't seem to care about Xiao Tao, but seeing his final decision, he is extremely annoyed. She tried her best to get Xiao Tao out, he didn't say anything if he wanted to find it back, in case he couldn't find it, or Xiao Tao was gone, he would have to be a flat wife?!
She is the eldest lady of the He family, and she wants to be an equal wife with a maid! What kind of shame is this?
She has a trace of the heart to harm Xiao Tao, and it has disappeared at this moment. It's better to live if Xiao Tao is dead, it's better to be alive than a concubine, and if she dies in the future, she will find a place to bury it? But now that she is dead, she is a flat wife, and she has to go to the ancestral grave?????? You can't!
