Chapter 42: The Soldiers of the Conquered Men and the Conquered People

The inner room was quiet, there was no sound at all, Shangguan was really asleep, but she smelled something else, she couldn't say it, but she was quite familiar, probably a drug or something, Shangguan Xue silently closed her eyes, and slowly touched her hand behind the white jade pillow.

After a while, with a faint "squeak", the door was pushed open, and it was a young mother-in-law who came in lightly, wearing the clothes of ordinary servants in the palace, and there was still a little smile on her face.

The inaudible footsteps fell to the ground, but they smashed into Shangguan Xue's ears, which was extremely clear.

"Madam, have you drunk the medicine, ......" opened his mouth, but it was Jade's voice, with a little hoarseness, if not, it would be exactly the same.

Shangguan turned over, squinted his eyes, coughed, and stretched out a hand to go out, "Jade, didn't you take the medicine once today?" ”

"It's just the medicine at noon, so it's boiled, and Madame drinks it while it's hot."

"Hmm......" Shangguan didn't touch the bowl yet, he turned over and retracted his hand, looked at it through the heavy green gauze tent, and clenched the things in his hand.

"Ma'am?"

Shangguan didn't speak, looked at the sky, but unfortunately couldn't see clearly, and lowered his head again, "Jade, when did you say His Highness will come back?" ”

"This ...... The slave doesn't know ......"

"This medicine is too bitter, take it every day, and it won't be good, this bowl of medicine is worth the expenses of ordinary people for a year." Shangguan Xue half-propped up the bed, and said to herself weakly, "The white jade pillow given by the princess, I really can't bear it, you better change it for me, the previous one was good." ”

The figure outside the gauze curtain didn't move for a long time, and Shangguan Xue sighed, "That's it, give it to me, Mama." ”

The figure moved, and quickly paused, and said with a smile: "Since Madam knows, is it because she drank it herself, or do you want the old body to help you?" ”

"I'll do it myself." Shangguan Xue stretched out another hand and caught a bowl steadily.

The steaming water is colorless and tasteless, and it looks like it's just a bowl of water, but Shangguan Xue knows that if this bowl goes down, maybe she will never have a chance to open her eyes again, but she didn't refuse, but, before drinking it, she suddenly said: "Mama, are you ready to never go back before you come?" ”

Outside the curtain, Mama was stunned when she heard this, and the sneer on the corner of her mouth made people frightened even if it was through the veil, "This is not bothering Mrs. Lao." ”

"That's right, it's not difficult to prepare a thin coffin...... Shangguan Xue took the bowl and took a sip, but turned her hand and smashed the bowl out, rushing towards the face outside the gauze curtain, blocked by the veil, not hitting the face, just hitting the person's leg, the porcelain bowl rolled a little, and then fell to the ground and broke cleanly, with a snap.

"You-"

"It's better to take care of yourself...... said, Shangguan Xue quickly raised her hand and pushed down the porcelain vase and plate at the head of the bed, and soon crackled and shattered to the ground.

The grandmother was doused with water, and she reacted quickly, but when she lifted the veil and went up to the couch, the vase and saucer had already been pushed down, and then she threw herself at Shangguan Xue instead, "In that case, don't blame the old man for being ruthless!" ”

The series of actions just now was already very difficult for Shangguan Xue, and she was easily knocked down, and the mother had some thin calluses on her hands, and her strength was not small, dealing with Shangguan Xue was like playing, pressing on her, and pinching her neck with both hands......

"You should have died a long time ago, if it weren't for Your Highness, you would have survived until now?! I will never let you—" The mamma said viciously with undiminished strength in her hands, but suddenly someone choked her neck from behind, and was torn off the couch, and before she could see people clearly, she was grabbed by the hair and slammed against the wall, and after a few blows, she completely fainted.

Lidong threw the man in the corner, pulled the man's belt and tied it up, and kicked it twice, before going to the edge of the bed, "Madam? Are you okay? ”

There was no movement, Lidong lifted the veil, only to find that the person was already fainting, grabbed his wrist and touched the pulse, yes, really faint.

Lidong glanced at the debris and water stains on the ground, rubbed his face, and went to the door, "Where is the house doctor?" Haven't arrived yet? ”

The round-faced little maid outside the door shook her head, pulling the rope, and at the other end of the rope was a maid tied into zongzi, gagged by the corners of her clothes, her little face was flushed, and she knelt on the ground.

"What about the others?"

"They were all stunned, and according to what the stunned said, they were all locked up." Xiaoxue came out of the chamber, clapped her hands, turned her head and saw that the maid who was tied up and couldn't move on the ground was not honest, she went over and pulled the cloth in her mouth, and before she could call it out, she pinched her chin, fed a pill into it, forced someone to swallow it, and stuffed the cloth back, and said to the little girl: "Huang Li, don't worry about this person, you can go and call someone." ”

Huang Li let go of his hand, let the "zongzi" roll on the ground, and ran out.

"You go in and take a look, I don't know what's going on." Lidong got out of the way and went in with Xiaoxue.

Xiaoxue checked her pulse, over and over again, but she didn't say anything, squatting on the ground to see the broken porcelain and water stains.

At this time, there was a commotion outside, the two looked at each other, Lidong stayed, and Xiaoxue went out.

"What's going on?" Wang Fu came running, holding the house doctor with one hand and Zhou Shi with the other, met Lixia at the gate of the hospital, entered the door together, and asked Xiaoxue who had just come out.

"It's a long story, let's look at Madame first." Xiaoxue doesn't know what to say, so it's better for Steward Wang to judge it himself.

Wang Fu let go of his hand when he entered the door, Zhou Shi ran faster than the house doctor, Xiaoxue didn't finish speaking, the person had already arrived at the door, pushed the door and went in, and saw Lidong and the people next to Lidong's feet, stunned for a moment, "Where are people?" ”

Lidong pointed to the bed, took a few steps forward, and lifted half of the curtain, "Please." ”

Zhou Shi glanced at the broken porcelain on the ground, and his heart tightened when his eyes touched the water stain.

The house doctor is nearly half a hundred years old, and when he came in with a box, Zhou Shidu began to administer needles, and when he saw the house doctor, he immediately began to report the prescription, and asked him to grab the medicine and send it, and the house doctor hurriedly remembered the prescription, turned his head and went out, without delay at all.

In the courtyard, the awakened jade was crying and scolding, and the two people who were tied up were finally reunited, Wang Fu waved his hand, and the small servants poured up, and the people in the whole yard were detained, and none of them fell, even Lixia and Jade were taken away, and let his daughter-in-law take a few mothers-in-law to guard here, and he took a group of people to the precept hall.

After Lixia and the others finished speaking, they were taken away and locked up, only to hear a few screams from outside, which sounded strange and scary.

Not long after, they were personally released by Wang Fu and sent back to Xianxian Temple.

Lixia looked at Wang Fu's back and patted Lidong on the shoulder, "You say, who wants to kill a concubine in the palace?" Still so blatant? ”

"Worry so much, it's time for this hour, it's time to set up a car to pick up the master." Shocked came out with a box, saw them standing in a row, and turned his hand to stuff the box to Lixia, "And this, send it to them!" ”

"What about you?"

"At the end of the month, the accounts have not been settled, the accounts of the shop have not been turned, and the rent of Zhuangzi has not arrived, but the monthly silver is about to be issued." Stunned and turned around and walked back, Lixia trembled when he heard the words, dozens of books! The master's own, as well as the prince's, and the palace's, are scary to think about, and they are busy holding the box and going to Wenxue Courtyard.
