Chapter 45: Coming Back in Late & Doing It Yourself
Wenxue Courtyard was brightly lit all night, and Zhou Shi and the house doctor did not leave an inch, until the sky was slightly bright, and Shangguan Xue's pulse was normal, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Shi walked out with the box in his arms, met the little princess, turned his footsteps, and stood there without moving.
"Mr. Zhou." Seeing Zhou Shi, Li Xiang was not surprised, saying that he was a staff member, but in Li Xiang's place, Zhou Shi was much more "competent" than the government doctor, at least, Li Xiang's pulse has always been Zhou Shi's invitation.
"Princess Niangniang......" Zhou Shi stayed up all night, his complexion was actually not bad, a little not like his age, he could still look at her face when he saw Li Xiang, and even wanted to come up and ask for a pulse?
Li Xiang silently shrank his wrist, "How is Mrs. Xue?" ”
"I was frightened again, I was fed a little poison, but now it is cured, and it will be good to wake up." Zhou Shi said quite easily, as if it was not him who had been guarding here all night, "She is awake now." ”
"I'm tired of Mr. Zhou." Li Xiang said politely, walked inside, and before entering the door, he suddenly paused, "Mr. Zhou, what kind of illness is Shangguan's family, and how many years has it been so sick?" ”
Zhou Shi was stunned for a moment and smiled slightly, "Didn't Niangniang also be sick for many years when she was young?" I went to Bian Cheng to seek medical advice and medicine, and I came back to see that it was good. Mrs. Xue was a deficiency at first, but her family was poor and did not treat it well, and then she lived on the streets, and her life was not very good, until she was taken in by His Royal Highness, and there were always people who were cured and taking medicine. ”
"I see." Li Xiang understood and bowed slightly.
"Mother's ......"
Li Xiang stopped and glanced at Zhou Shi, who said unhurriedly: "Niangniang, do you know who did it?" ”
"Didn't it already be tried yesterday?"
"Don't leave a living mouth, Niangniang is not afraid that someone will speculate on it?"
"Those who work in this way can make waves without wind. What is the danger of adding to the sin? Li Xiang thought about it, he was indeed suspicious, and the guards were stealing, but, "If you want to do it in this palace, you can just give it to death, can you use it so troublesomely?" ”
Shangguan is not the daughter of the noble family, there is no maternal family to follow, and there are no heirs, there is the punishment of the concubine in the early years, and there is the episode of the wedding night behind, the righteous wife wants to kill her, maybe she doesn't even have to carry the reputation of viciousness, especially when Murong Jin is not in the mansion.
Zhou Shi stopped talking, now he really understands what His Royal Highness means when he says "can't beat around the bush with the princess", he thought about it for a while, and remembered the sentence "the day is not safe", although he doesn't quite understand how the little princess casually recklessly relieves people, but who knows if the little princess is really afraid! silently added: "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop." Mother, Your Highness will be back in a few days. ”
If the news in the palace spreads fast enough, many people already know about it at this time, the mother and son of the East Palace advised Emperor Jiaming to let the emperor's seven sons come out to hunt, one before the dynasty and one in the harem, the concubine actually really said that she moved, and the concubine mother and daughter went again, so far, it is really planned to release people, but there is no intention yet, and I don't know when to release it.
Li Xiang looked at Zhou Shi again and went in.
It's still the smell of I don't know what medicinal herbs are mixed with, as if it has been smoked for a long time, even this room is a smell of medicine, and there are some smells that I don't know what the smell is, Li Xiang has not entered it yet, and it was smoked a little disgusting, of course, it may be because she is pregnant with a child.
"The Princess's ......"
"Excuse me, take good care of Madame." Li Xiang raised her hand to help a handful of jade, and looked at the little maid gratefully, a little uncomfortable, she didn't just want to save Shangguan Xue, who let her bring over the dowry was indiscriminately put in all corners of the palace by Wang Fu to do things, but she also found that the two people were wrong, and they happened to be in time to deliver the news to Li Xiang, and then, the timing of Zhou Shi's contact with Murong Jin was also timely, plus there happened to be a maid by his side who could fight and detoxify, isn't this it!
"How's Madame? Zhou Gongzi said that she was awake, and this palace came to see her. Li Xiang glanced at it, it was not the first time for her to come in Wenxue Courtyard, and she still felt that this place was too pure, and she had never seen a few pet concubines, let alone an arrogant pet concubine, but who was so plain in the courtyard of the pet concubine? At a glance, these bottles and jars of calligraphy, painting, ink treasures and other things are not as expensive as Li Xiang's box of jewelry.
However, the calligraphy and painting on this wall are copied well, although it is not reproduced according to the original painting, but it is quite charming, and it is a Danqing skillful hand at a glance, and the attainment is not low.
"Madame is indeed awake, there is a big smell of medicine in this house, and it is smoking the mother......" Jade herself felt it, and pushed open a window.
"It's okay, pay attention to ventilation, don't bring anything with a big smell inside." Li Xiang only stayed for a while, and he could endure it, and Jade took them behind the screen.
"Mother's ......"
"You lie down." Li Xiang saw that Shangguan tried to get up and salute her, but directly refused, this person was already a little shaky, but now it's okay, it seems that his life is not long, this little face is white, worthy of the clothes on her body.
"Cut a few bright clothes to wear next month, maybe you look better." Li Xiang was a little unbearable, it was really too plain here, but it matched the appearance of the Shangguan family, and it was also quite similar to the usual dressing of Murong Jin's mother and son, but it looked lifeless, mixed with the heavy smell of medicine, if it weren't for the people, it would be impossible to say that there would be some ghosts and weirdness.
"Thank you, Princess." Shangguan smiled softly, and coughed with his hand against his chin.
Li Xiang has no old feelings and old things to keep up with Shangguan's family, the politeness is over, the housewife's care is in place, she has nothing to say, Shangguan's doesn't talk much, and she coughs as soon as she speaks, both of them sit quietly, Li Xiang doesn't mention leaving, Shangguan Xue doesn't send off guests. Lixia glanced at it, took the maids in the house out very freely, and said to them in a matter-of-fact manner: "Our mother was like this before, lingering on the sickbed all year round, you can't be like this, what a big medicinal smell, how uncomfortable it smells, you have to be like this, you listen to me, just ......"
Li Xiang looked at Shangguan Xue and went straight to the point, "This is not the first time, and it may not be the last." ”
Shangguan Xue hung her head, was silent, heard the words, raised her eyes to look at Li Xiang, and pulled the corners of her mouth, "What does Niangniang mean by this?" ”
"This palace doesn't play dumb riddles with you, it's too much effort. This time, even if you are lucky and lucky, His Royal Highness will not always be in the palace, nor will he always be by your side, and as for the palace, it will not be. Li Xiang stood up, looked at Shangguan Xue's pale face, and said in an indifferent tone, "Who wants to kill you, you know better than anyone else, so you can do it yourself." ”
Li Xiang was about to leave, and Shangguan Xue finally spoke up, "Niangniang doesn't want to know why she killed me?" ”
"I wasn't the one who killed, why should I know?" Li Xiang had already walked to the screen, and the landscape map embroidered on the screen was also foggy, so he couldn't see people or landscapes clearly.
"It's ...... too," Shangguan Xue chuckled to herself.
"I have the ability to borrow my knife to get rid of them this time, and I hope you will have the good luck next time." Li Xiang walked out without looking back, leaving Shangguan Xue, who was slightly stunned for a moment, the latter was holding the brocade quilt, a little distracted, laughed to himself, touched a small packet of drugs behind the jade pillow, took it out and looked at it, and stuffed it back, but tears came out of his eyes, next time, even the princess, an outsider, knew that there would be a next time, and knew that she might not be able to escape, how could she not know?
