CHAPTER XXIII
After taking the etiquette class, Ye Qian took Mama Feng and went directly to her mother's Siyuan Hall.
Meng had just taken the medicine, and was leaning on the head of the bed to close his eyes and recuperate, and the room was burning with fresh incense, diluting the smell of medicine.
"Mother." Ye Qian propped her hands on the edge of the bed, her mother was not in good health, she never pounced on her mother, "This is Mama Feng, she is the person sent by His Royal Highness King Yu, my mother has heard of it before, this time I brought her to meet my mother, mother, Mama Zhao in my yard is gone, and Mama Feng will help me take care of the yard in the future." ”
"The old slave has seen Madame." Mama Feng bowed.
Meng Shi half sat down, "Let Mama see and smile, my body really can't get up." "She also heard about Mama Zhao, the maid in her daughter's yard and her maid in Siyuantang are very familiar, and there is nothing to hide from each other, she knows the cause and effect, but she really can't understand why Mama Zhao has to frame Lu Fei, is it really to make Ye Rong angry? Then this Mama Zhao is from the Qi family?
"Madame looks good." Mama Feng took a deep breath, "Madam, what kind of incense is smoked in this house?" With this incense, there is no medicinal taste. ”
Meng Shi smiled: "It's a very ordinary pestle incense, I'm worried that the smell of medicine will make the children uncomfortable, so I use this incense to cover it." ”
Mama Feng carefully identified it, "The old slave also likes the incense, but the fragrance of the lady is not the same as usual." ”
"I've been using this fragrance, it's fresh and not strong, I've been using it for seven years, and I don't think the taste has changed." She didn't smoke incense before, but since she started taking medicine, she started using it in order to hide the smell of medicine in the house.
"Madam, the bird's nest porridge is ready." Meng's eldest maid, Guixiang, came in with a small tray of red paint.
Ye Qian received it in her hand, "Mother, I'll feed you." "My mother would drink a bowl of bird's nest porridge every half an hour after taking the medicine, which was said to be good for the body.
"Girl, be careful, don't burn." Mama Feng protected the small tray in Ye Qian's hand, for fear that she would accidentally knock over and burn herself.
Meng Shi looked at his baby daughter's cautious appearance and said with a smile: "Qianqian will be put aside first, and we will eat it when it is a little cooler." ”
Ye Qian put the small tray on the low table on the side, lay on the side of the bed and talked to her mother, and talked about the corners and corners of the Yuwang Mansion in a rambling manner.
Meng Shi listened with a smile, thinking that it was a helpless marriage, but he didn't expect that King Yu was very good to his daughter, and he was meticulous and thoughtful everywhere.
Mama Feng's face changed drastically on the side, and she finally remembered that the extra smell in this clear incense was a fire worm flower! The fire worm flower is originally non-toxic, but if it is taken at the same time, it will make people weak and weak, and if you take it for a long time, you can't get up. Mama Feng looked at Meng Shi and turned her gaze to the bowl of bird's nest porridge again.
She pondered for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "Madam, when the girl talked about King Yu's Mansion, the old slave remembered a sentence from His Royal Highness King Yu, saying that she wanted to tell Mrs. alone. ”
"Ah, what does Your Highness want to say, can't even I listen to it?" Ye Qian looked at Mama Feng curiously.
Mama Feng was stunned, the Hou Mansion was so chaotic, it didn't hurt for the girl to know more, "The girl can naturally listen, but other people can't listen." ”
Meng Shi raised his eyes and glanced at Guixiang, who went out and closed the door.
Mama Feng picked up the bird's nest porridge and walked to the head of Meng's bed, and lowered her voice, "Madam, the old slave Rong has made a mistake." After she finished speaking, she scooped a spoonful of bird's nest porridge and put it in her mouth, squinted her eyes, and tasted it carefully, "Madam, the old slave is sure that Madame's health has been not good, and she has been plotted." ”
Meng Shi was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "I won't tell you, I also had such suspicions at the beginning, and I also sent someone to take the medicine residue to the big medical hall to test it, and there was no problem at all. If you doubt the bird's nest, sometimes I can't finish it, and after I take it down, there will be little maids to share it, and they are all fine. "Everything she uses is not exclusive to her, and if anything is poisonous, there must be people in this courtyard who are just like her. It was precisely because of this that she did not suspect that there was something wrong with her meal.
"No, it's not medicine." Mama Feng shook her head, "It's this incense and bird's nest." This incense is not an ordinary incense, but with the addition of fire loyac flowers, this fire loyac flowers are not poisonous, so the other people in Madame's room are fine, but if you take ice at the same time, it will make people weak and weak, and after a long time, just like Madame, it is difficult to even get out of bed. As for the little maids who share the bird's nest, they may not have stayed in this incense room all the time, or they may use a small amount, even if they are occasionally weak, as long as they do not take it every day like Mrs., they will recover quickly. ”
Meng's face changed, although she hadn't heard of the fire worm flower and ice worm that Mama Feng said, but if it was poisonous separately and poisonous together, it really explained why she became like this. When the Hou Ye disappeared, she personally led people to search for it to no avail, and she did get sick after coming back, it stands to reason that her body has no major problems, and she should get better soon, but at that time she didn't want the smell of medicine to smoke her children, so she sent someone to get incense, but the bird's nest has always been taken from the house.
If that's the case, then this matter is a serial scheme, the person who harmed her knew that Hou Ye would be missing, and they had already guessed that she would be sick, or even if she wasn't sick, they would find a way to make her sick, and the problematic Qingzhu incense and bird's nest had been prepared a long time ago, so that she couldn't afford to get sick.
Who harmed Hou Ye and himself?
It took Meng Shi a long time to come back to her senses, and when she saw that her daughter was looking at her with a worried and frightened face, she raised her hand and touched her daughter's soft forehead, "I'm sorry for my Qianqian, my mother is not smart enough, she didn't protect your father well, and she didn't protect herself well, so Qianqian and Brother Li'er have been wronged for so many years." ”
Ye Qian, like her mother, had never heard of fire worm flowers and ice worms, but this did not affect her judgment, her mother had been poisoned and assassinated for so many years, she held back her tears and looked at Mama Feng, "Mama, that, that poison, can it be solved?" ”
Meng Shi also looked at Mama Feng expectantly.
Mama Feng said: "The old slave only knows that this poison makes people weak and weak in the short term, as long as they don't take it continuously, they can recover in a few days, as for how the lady will recover after seven years, the old slave can't be sure." However, His Royal Highness King Yu has a lot of capable people there, and the girl can go and ask His Highness. ”
"I'll go!" Ye Qian stood up suddenly.
"Wait." As soon as Ye Qian wanted to run out, she was stopped by Meng Shi and Mama Feng at the same time, Mama Feng took out a handkerchief and wiped her eyes, and the handkerchief suddenly became a small wet. Meng Shi whispered: "Qianqian, I don't know who wants to harm us yet, this matter must be kept secret first, let's pretend that we haven't found out yet, you know?" Now she can't get up, she can't protect her children and herself, let the other party know, maybe she will find other ways to be ruthless.
"I understand." Ye Qian nodded seriously, her mother was poisoned, but she didn't know who the enemy was, except for her brother, no one else in this house could be trusted, and she wouldn't let others know her details.
Meng Shi hesitated, "I haven't had a feed in the palm of my hand for seven years, there should be an enemy's eyeliner in this mansion, Brother Li'er has a bad temper, if you know the news, you may not be able to suppress your anger, Qianqian will go to your brother and ask him to accompany you to Yuwang's Mansion, and then tell him about it after leaving the Hou Mansion." ”
Ye Qian nodded, "I'll tell him when I get to King Yu's Mansion." ”
Ye Qian went directly to the martial arts arena, at this hour, my brother should be practicing riding and archery.
A jujube red horse on the martial arts arena was immediately Ye Li, who was dressed in a blue arrow-sleeved brocade robe, he bent his bow and arrows, squinted his eyes and aimed at the target in the distance, and saw the opportunity to release the bowstring, "whoosh", hit the red heart, and the arrow feathers trembled.
"Brother is amazing!" Ye Qian endured the sadness in her heart and applauded.
Ye Li found out that his sister was coming, he galloped over, and only stopped the horse when he was more than ten steps away from Ye Qian, turned over and jumped off the horse, walked quickly in front of Ye Qian, and squatted down, "Why is Qianqian here?" ”
"I have something to do and want to go to King Yu's Mansion, and my brother will accompany me."
Ye Li hesitated, practicing riding and archery is important, but he really can't refuse his sister.
"Brother~" Ye Qian took Ye Li's hand and shook it gently, looking at him with big black grape-like eyes longingly.
"Okay, brother will accompany you." Ye Li suddenly forgot what it meant to refuse.
King Yu didn't have a discussion this time, and was alone in the study, when he saw Ye Qian and Ye Li coming, he got up with a smile, "Qianqian missed me so soon?" "I only came yesterday, and I came again today, and I came together with my brother and sister, I guess there is something, he is joking, but the three of them are familiar now, and he wants to have a long face in front of his eldest brother.
Unexpectedly, Ye Qian turned around and closed the door of the study, and plunged into Ye Li's arms without a head, crying "wow".
Not only was King Yu stupid, but Ye Li was also dumbfounded, he patted his sister's little back to coax her, and glared at King Yu fiercely, he must have bullied his sister, and his sister went to the martial arts arena to find herself to accompany her, just to let herself support her and seek justice! Okay, you're King Yu, even if you're a prince, you can't bully my sister!
King Yu touched his nose in embarrassment, no, he ...... It's just kidding.
