Chapter 067: Sudden Death Heart Disease
"You...... What did you just say? Who's gone? Who's gone? The old lady grabbed Xiao Xiwei's hand, and stared at Xiao Xiwei with a pair of eyes.
Xiao Xiwei's tears welled up, "Grandmother, you are the backbone of our Houfu, at this time, you ...... You must not fall! ”
The old lady's sharp nails pierced into her skin, but she didn't feel a trace of pain. Because the pain in her hands can't match the pain in her heart.
"Nonsense! How could the good people be gone! The old lady made a hard effort, pushed Xiao Xiwei away and stood up, as soon as she took a step, she felt that the world was spinning, her head was tilted, and the whole person was planted.
"Grandmother ......"
"Old lady......"
Xiao Xiwei and Mama Liu exclaimed in unison, and hurriedly stretched out their hands to support the old lady.
Dr. Zhang, who had been waiting in the outer courtyard, heard the sound and rushed in, he first checked the pulse for the old lady, and hurriedly fed the heart-saving pills he brought to the old lady.
"Doctor Zhang, how is my grandmother?" Xiao Xi said busily.
Doctor Zhang sighed, looked at Xiao Xi and said slightly, "Fortunately, the second miss has already made preparations, let me prepare a heart-saving pill and wait in the front hall, otherwise it will ......" Speaking of this, Doctor Zhang sighed again.
This loyal and brave mansion is really eventful now, the fifth young master was gone last night, and now the old lady is like this again...... If it weren't for the fact that Zhongyong Houfu had been treating him well all these years, he really didn't want to go on this trip.
"Dr. Zhang, thank you." Xiao Xi got up slightly and solemnly blessed Dr. Zhang.
Dr. Zhang hurriedly returned the salute in a panic, "Second Miss, don't be like this, you can't afford to be small!" ”
Xiao Xiwei is not only the second lady of the loyal and brave mansion, but also the future princess of the Seventh Prince, such a character is not something he can afford to offend.
"Mama, grandmother, please take care of it first. I'll send Dr. Zhang out first. Xiao Xi turned his face slightly and looked at Mama Liu.
Everything happened so suddenly last night that her mind was flustered, so she didn't have time to ask about many things.
Mama Liu nodded.
She knew that the second lady must have something to ask Dr. Zhang.
Mama Liu knew, and of course Dr. Zhang knew it in his heart.
Walking out of the old lady's room, Xiao Xiwei took Dr. Zhang to a small pavilion next to Jingyuan. It's all around it, and it's easy to see when someone is coming.
"Ziyan, Biyun, you go and wait outside." Xiao Xi calmly instructed the two of them.
Hongyu was calm, so she helped Mama Gui take care of the funeral in front, so she only brought two girls with Ziyan Biyun by her side.
"Second Miss, the little one knows what you want to ask? However, the little one knows nothing. Without waiting for Xiao Xi to speak, Dr. Zhang couldn't wait.
The fifth young master's young age is so strange, which naturally makes people suspicious. It has not been a year or two for him to see the Houfu, and he is very clear about the relationship between the master and the son in the Houfu, and it is very likely that the one who killed the fifth young master is the master in the Houfu, maybe it is the second lady in front of him who looks like a fairy...... Maybe the second lady recruited him into the mansion right now because she was afraid that he would know something and want to kill people.
Thinking of this, Dr. Zhang's back was inexplicably cold.
The so-called knowing people and faces but not knowing their hearts, he is a common person, and he really doesn't want to get involved in the real fighting of these big families, let alone lose his life innocently. So, it's best not to know anything.
Xiao Xiwei only glanced at Dr. Zhang, and knew what he was thinking, "Dr. Zhang thought that Ming'er's death was related to me, right?" ”
Doctor Zhang waved his hand in a hurry, and said anxiously, "No, no, Second Miss, the little one didn't say that." ”
I don't blame Dr. Zhang for wanting to fork. There are only a few masters in Houfu Gonggong, and the only one who has the most motive to harm Xiao Ximing is her, who she is the same as Xiao Ximing's biological mother.
A wry smile rose on Xiao Xiwei's lips, "What if I tell Dr. Zhang that the cup of poisonous wine was originally aimed at me?" Ming'er he ...... He just drank the glass of wine that was served to me by mistake. ”
"What!" Dr. Zhang's eyes widened suddenly.
"So, I must really know the truth." Xiao Xi stared at Dr. Zhang with burning eyes, Si Hao didn't allow him to refuse, "Doctor Zhang, I know what you're worried about." Don't worry, you just have to tell me what you know, and after the incident, I will have someone give you five hundred taels of silver, and promise not to involve you. ”
Five hundred taels.
Dr. Zhang's eyes lit up.
However, when he thought about it deeply, he hesitated a little. Yes, five hundred taels of silver is a lot, and he may not be able to earn five hundred taels in his life when he treats these nobles, but when he listens to Xiao Xiwei's words, he knows that these five hundred taels are not easy to earn.
"Doctor Zhang, whether you say something or not has no effect on me, after a while, there will be a doctor in the palace to check my fifth brother. It's just that I think you saw the symptoms of my fifth brother's illness with your own eyes, and you personally checked his pulse, so I want to hear from you first. Xiao Xi stared at Dr. Zhang coldly.
As soon as I heard that there would be a doctor who would perform an autopsy for Xiao Ximing, Dr. Zhang seemed to have taken a reassuring pill, and he was immediately relieved.
With the Imperial Physician here, what he said would not matter so much. If he was afraid that the Houfu would turn over the old accounts, he would not be able to go after taking the five hundred taels of silver.
"Second Miss, it's not actually small, it's just that the fifth young master doesn't have a strange thing, but it's not like poisoning." Doctor Zhang paused and looked at Xiao Xiwei cautiously, "Dare to ask Second Miss, does the Fifth Young Master have a heart disease or something?" ”
"My fifth brother has always been in good health." Xiao Xi frowned slightly, raised his eyes to look at Dr. Zhang, raised his eyebrows and said, "Doctor Zhang, you have been waiting for us to see a doctor all these years, don't you know best if my fifth brother has a heart disease?" ”
"Because the reason why the fifth young master died suddenly and violently was because ......he died of heart disease," Dr. Zhang said.
So, that's where he couldn't figure it out. Over the years, the masters of the Zhongyong Houfu have some typhoid fever and headaches, and he has come to diagnose and treat the pulse. In his impression, the fifth young master did not have a heart disease, but he died suddenly of a heart disease, which is really strange.
"Heart disease?" Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, "But Ming'er doesn't have a heart disease, this should be very clear to Dr. Zhang!" ”
"So...... That's why the little ones feel weird. Dr. Zhang said.
"You mean that someone drugged my fifth brother to suddenly die of a heart attack?" Xiao Xi's eyes narrowed slightly, and his phoenix eyes crossed a line of coldness and ruthlessness.
"This ...... This little one doesn't dare to talk nonsense. Dr. Zhang replied cautiously, and a cold sweat broke out on his back inexplicably.
The girl in front of her was only fourteen or fifteen years old, but the fierceness in her eyes made him, a person in his forties, dare not look at her.
Xiao Xi stared at Dr. Zhang for a long time, and saw that his expression did not seem to be lying.
"Biyun, but take five hundred taels of silver and send Dr. Zhang out." She raised her voice and ordered Biyun Dao, who was guarding outside the pavilion.
"Thank you, Second Miss." Doctor Zhang thanked Xiao Xi with joy, and then followed Biyun down to get the silver.
After Dr. Zhang left, Xiao Xi turned his face slightly and looked at Ziyan calmly, and said word by word, "Ziyan, I want to see him." ”
Ziyan was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
At the door of the loyal waiting, an ordinary carriage slowly drove out, turned right after exiting the East Street where the dignitaries gathered, entered the West Street where the commoners lived, and then turned a few remote alleys, and finally the carriage stopped in front of an inconspicuous hut.
Ziyan jumped out of the carriage, walked to the hut, raised his hand and knocked three times, then paused for a while, and then knocked twice.
The door creaked open.
A man of about twenty walked out, saw Ziyan, and grinned, "Yo, Ziyan!" Why are you free today? Isn't it thinking about the night? ”
Ziyan's face flushed, "Don't mess around, Miss is here." ”
The man hurriedly put away his smile and looked up at the carriage, only to see a woman slowly getting out of the carriage, her cloak covering most of her face, but even so, it was difficult to hide.
"Hurry up and invite the young lady in, I'll go and invite the master." The man hurriedly stepped out of the way.
This is a very ordinary small courtyard, and there are some firewood piled up in the corner of the yard. The room is furnished with rough wood furniture, and the cups used for drinking tea are made of coarse porcelain, which looks like a farmer's yard.
"Miss, this is where we usually stop and communicate." Ziyan saw Xiao Xi looking at the room slightly and said busily.
Xiao Xi nodded slightly.
At this time, she really didn't have the mood to care about it.
"Miss, you can have a cup of tea first." Ziyan also knew Xiao Xiwei's mood at this time, so she was busy, and she hurriedly picked up the teapot on the table and wanted to pour Xiao Xiwei a cup of tea. As soon as I picked it up, I found that the teapot was empty, and I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed on my face, "Miss, the slave will go down and make tea for you." So saying, he withdrew.
The purple smoke tea had not yet been burned, but Chu Xizhi arrived first.
"Wei'er."
When he received the news of the seizure, he immediately rushed over.
Looking at Chu Xizhi, who came in a hurry, Xiao Xi's eyes crossed a trace of strange emotions. She stood up and blessed Chu Xizhi, "Your Highness." ”
Xiao Xi's faint alienation made Chu Xizhi's heart a little sour.
He couldn't understand why she would have such a big reaction when she knew that he was also reborn? Is it to blame that he didn't tell her in the morning? However, how dare he say that she was also born again without being sure?
"Your Highness, what happened last night...... I haven't thanked Your Highness yet. ”
At that time, she was full of pain and despair, and completely forgot everything, fortunately, Chu Xizhi helped her brother take care of it, otherwise Houfu would not know what the chaos would become.
"Wei'er, do you and I still need to talk about this......" Chu Xizhi looked at Xiao Xiwei, a trace of pain crossed his eyes.
Xiao Xi pursed his lips slightly, and suddenly didn't know what to say.
Seeing that she was silent, Chu Xizhi sighed, "You are looking for me today, do you want to know the cause of Xiao Ximing's death?" ”
"You've found it?" Xiao Xi was slightly taken aback.
Chu Xizhi frowned, "I heard Ziyan talk about the situation at that time, so I was sure that someone must have put something in the wine at the moment, but when I checked it, I found that there was nothing wrong with the wine." ”
"No problem? How can it be? Xiao Xiwei was a little unconvinced.
If there is no problem, how can Xi Ming die violently for no reason!
"There is indeed no problem with wine, otherwise, how could Xiao Xile drink it by himself." Chu Xizhi's eyes sank, and a sneer rose on his lips, "The real problem is the wine glass, she smeared a secret medicine on the side of the wine glass. ”
"Secret medicine?"
"That kind of secret medicine can make people's hearts fail, and it can make people suffocate to death in an instant, and it looks like a heart disease, and it can't be found out if you don't know it." When Chu Xizhi said this, a chill suddenly burst out of his narrow eyes, "And this kind of secret appeared in the harem in the early years!" ”
