Chapter 82: Compassion
The Prime Minister's Mansion of Xi Yanguo
In the West Garden Zhaoxi Pavilion, the eldest lady was lying on the couch, and Aunt Xin behind her was pinching her shoulders.
"Madam, I heard the report from the guards, the second lady over there in Nanyuan hasn't gotten up, looking like that, I'm afraid that her life will be soon."
"Hmph, I wish she could drag on for a while, don't let me look down on her."
The eldest lady curled the corners of her mouth and sneered.
"The old lady will be back tomorrow, if you ask about the recent situation of the South Park......
"Send someone to throw the medicinal herbs and medicinal powder into the garden tonight, are you afraid that the two maids who are locked up in the garden will come out and complain?
When Qi Xiaoyun goes, I will send away the maids around her, and I should take them away, and I should extinguish them......."
Cheng Nianxi's tone was very natural, as if human life was not worth mentioning in her eyes.
"Madam, the slave knows who Madame is referring to, so let that little slut get away with it for a few more days, and when the time is ripe, she will definitely die and her bones will be gone."
Aunt Xin echoed gloomily behind the eldest lady, like a subordinate who stayed at home and waited by the master's side.
On the contrary, he is more like a ruthless executioner.
On the other side, the firecrackers coaxed the dog hole back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and in a panic, she almost dropped the token given to her by the second lady into the grass.
"Such an ungrateful scum, he doesn't keep his things!"
Firecracker wanted to throw the beads out of the wall, but after thinking about it again, he decided to take it back to the second lady.
It was dawn, and she knew that it was a risk to climb a tree and break into South Park, but there was no way, she couldn't wait any longer.
It's a big deal to wait until it gets dark before going out, anyway, the old lady is not there, and no one is looking for her during the day.
Seeing that there was no one around, and the two guards at the door didn't know where to go, the firecrackers turned over and jumped into the South Garden, and slipped into the Dounan Pavilion with agility.
Ruyu and Lihua were there, and the second lady was lying on the side of the bed retching.
"What's going on?" Firecracker hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
"Half a bowl of porridge sent in the morning, I gave my wife some to drink, but I didn't expect that my wife began to cough after drinking."
Ruyu explained anxiously.
"Why only half a bowl?"
"That half bowl was spilled when they threw it in......"
Rika sighed and shook her head, I tried to drink this porridge, and there was no problem.
"Shall I see?" Firecracker picked up the porridge on the table and sniffed it carefully: "There are lotus root powder, lilies, and taro here, and Mrs. can't eat these things today.
Next time, just ask someone outside the door to send some clear porridge."
"Got it...... "Pear Blossom nodded thoughtfully: "I heard Ruyu tell me that Madame was poisoned and not infected with an epidemic?" ”
"Yes!" Firecracker walked up to the second lady and patted her on the back.
"How do you know?" Rika asked.
"Are you suspicious of me?" Firecracker looked up to meet her.
Rika was uncomfortable by her sharp eyes: "No..... No...... I'm just curious. ”
"There was a prince from another family who came to be a guest in the house, and he happened to know about it, so he told me about his deceased, saying that the deceased had been poisoned, but was misdiagnosed as malaria.
I quickly inquired about the poison, and according to his identification method, I asked Yuru to check the body of the second lady, but I didn't expect it to be true. ”
"So how can this poison be cured?" Rika asked again.
"I was going to discuss this matter with the second lady yesterday......."
Firecracker said.
"Right..... cough cough cough ..... That's right! Did you go to Yue Lang? What does he say? The second lady finally stopped coughing.
"Hmm...... I went! Firecracker handed the green beads tied around his waist to the second lady: "The son-in-law is not here, he went out of the city." ”
"So coincidentally?" Ruyu asked: "Why is it that Madame's accident, all the people who can use it are not in the imperial city?" ”
"It's not a coincidence, it's a new policy issued by the imperial court recently, except for a few big cities, the commercial tax of the rest of the villages and counties has been halved, so everyone who has some family background has gone out to do business."
Firecracker explained.
"Oh, I see......"
Ruyu nodded.
"What about my poison...... Isn't there no way to solve it? Second Lady Qi asked in a trembling voice.
"You say! You tell me! Did that slut from Cheng Nianxi poison me? I....... I'm going to tell the master! I'm going to kill her! When Qi Xiaoyun thought of Adult Creek, his emotions suddenly lost control.
"Madame! Madam! Seeing this, Ruyu and Firecrackers hurriedly stepped forward to support her.
"Madam, there is no evidence to prove that this matter was done by the eldest lady!"
"Who else could it be if it wasn't her? By the way, there is also Shen Kite, Shen Kite's miscellaneous, there must be something wrong with the ointment she sent! ”
At the mention of Shen Kite, Qi Xiaoyun suddenly wanted to get out of bed like crazy, but his legs were weak and he rolled off the couch directly.
"Madame! .......”
The three of them hurriedly helped her back to the couch.
"Madame! You want revenge, you want to find the murderer, and you have to take care of your body first! Firecracker shouted loudly.
"Body? Hehehehe, take care of your body? Only then did the second lady calm down: "Everyone is dying, what do you say about taking care of your body?"
Is it a difference if you die a few days earlier and a few days later?!!! ”
"Yes! Of course! Firecracker stepped forward and pressed her shoulder: "The more Madame stands, the more chance she will survive!" ”
"Hahahaha, that's it! I am tired! The second lady suddenly lay on her back, and her eyes gradually lost their look: "Now, what's the use of my dying struggle?"
You guys..... Go to my cupboard, dig through some silver jewelry, and escape from the house overnight while it is dark, and go as far as you can! ”
"Madame!" When Rika heard her wife say this, she was very angry.
"Listen to me! After I die, that Cheng Nianxi will not let you go, go quickly! ”
"Madame......"
Ruyu heard that tears were falling down.
"Let's go, let me stay alone and die quietly...... Let's go..... I'm tired! ”
Firecrackers stood in front of the couch, looking at the second lady with a look of despair, as if she was really dead,
Her heart is dead, her fighting spirit has turned to ashes, it seems that she can no longer burn, she has been fierce all her life, strong for a lifetime,
In the end, in the trap, he was left alone, surviving for a long time.
The firecracker was sighing, and when he saw the second lady, who was like a wooden man who had seen through the red dust just now, she suddenly held her mouth and let her cry loudly.
"Ma'am..... Madam..... What's wrong with you? The pear blossom on the side was anxious to stomp her feet, this lady is afraid that she is not crazy, right?
"Woo woo woo, I don't want to die yet...... I haven't killed Cheng Nianxi yet! I don't have children yet! I haven't avenged my dead child......."
The second lady suddenly sobbed like a child: "Why was I so easily knocked down by them? How could I be so useless! ”
"Madame......"
In the middle of the night, the people on the couch were tired of crying, and began to arrange the aftermath again.
The silver was given to pear blossoms, the jewelry was given to Ruyu, the fine silk and satin in the cabinet were all given to firecrackers, and he also gave her his own personal jade pendant.
"Madam, why are you so partial, the slave has been with you for decades, and you don't get as much as firecrackers?" Rika was a little unconvinced.
"Go! You really want to take these things! Firecracker turned and glared at her.
"Madam, take your baby, none of us need it."
"Why not? In the future, you will all get married, and you must go out of the city after escaping from the house, otherwise the lord will find you sooner or later,
Find a good family and marry yourself! Yes! ”
"Pear blossom, change your lazy problem...... Otherwise, even if you get married, you will be divorced by your husband sooner or later! ”
Rika pursed her lips, wanting to refute, but she didn't say anything.
"Ruyu, you are good at everything, but your mouth is not strict, don't quarrel with your husband when you get married in the future, and you will be beaten by others again."
Ruyu sighed and didn't answer.
"Firecrackers! Small firecrackers! Come here! The second lady waved her hand.
"What?" Firecracker reluctantly moved a step forward, and what bad things did this woman have to count down her?
"We're firecrackers! I don't have any strengths, but I have a cute face, a sweeter mouth, and I am more clever......"
Are these two ladies really praising her or hurting her? Rika wondered.
"In the future, find a good family, live a peaceful and stable life, and finally have a home, don't be a wild girl outside!" The second lady still knows a thing or two about her background.
"After I'm gone, no one will bully you anymore, and you'll finally be free......"
Hearing this, Pear Blossom and Ruyu both sobbed, and the firecrackers on the side were not in their hearts.
After tossing for a day, the second lady finally fell asleep again at dusk.
Firecrackers left South Park, and their hearts were very confused.
She remembered that the second lady fell asleep holding her hand in the end, and muttered how she had lost so much weight, was she running around recently?
Why is there only bone left in this hand? In fact, what Second Mrs. Qi didn't know was that it was she who was skinny.
She stayed in front of the second lady's bed for an afternoon, looking at the fragrance she liked to dress up on weekdays, and was always willing to linger with the fragrance of herself, wishing that the flies a mile away were smoked away by the fragrance on her body.
Now, he is covered with abscesses, the smell is incomparable, and his body is as thin as skin and bones.
She forgot how many days her wife had been sick, so why didn't the master come back? Could it be that the lord's affection for the second lady is really like a puddle of dew?
Back in the small yard, I didn't have an appetite to eat at night, so I climbed up the tree and thought quietly.
At night, Huai Gongzi arrived as promised.
"Tell me, to find that Bian Soul Grass, is there a shortcut?" Firecracker asked.
"What? Found someone to forage for grass? ”
"Just tell me."
"In fact, from here to Kunjiang, it will be faster to change by land and water, but it will be more dangerous when it rains on the waterway.
Huai Gongzi said.
