Chapter 37: The Mountain Rain is Coming
Wang Zixian knew what she wanted to say, and said, "The imperial doctor will definitely diagnose and treat the princess who is infected with wind and cold, and she needs to close her door and recuperate." ”
Hearing this, Zixuan returned to Chu Anyuan with confidence, so that the play would be more similar.
Back in her bedroom, Zixuan closed the door, there were too many facts that happened today.
She sat upright on the bed, breathed her luck, and entered the space with her mind, and she decided to study poison art from today onwards.
In this era of life and death by respect and humility, it is very necessary to have a skill, at least if you encounter an emergency like today, you will not even have the ability to protect yourself, and you can only fight with your life.
In the past two days, Zixuan has lived in a simple place, except for the imperial doctor to diagnose the pulse, only the red sleeves can go in and out several times a day, send tea, medicine and food, etc., and the rest of the maids are all responsible for sprinkling and cleaning and other chores outside.
During his illness, at the tea banquet that day, most of the ladies of the various mansions who had befriended Zixuan sent people to the palace to offer condolences.
Zixuan asked Red Sleeves to put these people and gifts on the book, and they will return the gifts in the future.
Only the county lord of Xuening, she came in person, and she also brought a good white ginseng.
At the tea banquet, Zixuan had a good impression of her, and at this time, regardless of the taboo in her illness, she came to the door in person, which shows her sincerity.
However, Zixuan was afraid that she would be seen and pretending to be sick and causing trouble in vain, so she didn't see her in the end.
On the third day, at noon, Xiang Jiu caught a little maid serving in the Chu'an Hospital, saying that she was going to buy fat powder, but when she arrived at the fat powder shop, she turned around and went to Li's mansion.
Xiang Jiu's people captured her about a hundred meters outside the Li Mansion.
Zixuan sat in the main seat, wearing a lotus pink satin pleated skirt, and playing with a golden hairpin that had been tempered with poison.
She has not been idle in the past two days, not only to meditate and practice, but also to think about how to refine the poison, and how to put the refined poison in a clever place on her body, so as to catch people off guard.
looked at the girl kneeling in front of her, "Cuiqing!" Zixuan said lightly: "If I'm not mistaken, you came from the Li Mansion to marry along." ”
Cui Qing lowered her head and said tremblingly: "Yes, the princess is not mistaken. ”
Zixuan frowned and said, "Say, what are you going to do in the Li Mansion under the pretext of buying fat powder!" ”
Cui Qing shouted wronged: "The slave just wanted to visit her sister, but she didn't do anything, but before she got to the house, she was arrested back, eldest lady, the slave and maid were wronged!" ”
She is not called the princess, but she is called the eldest lady, which is nothing more than looking at the Li Mansion is Zixuan's maiden family, and she will take care of some affection.
"Wronged?" Zixuan snorted coldly, a few personal servants who came to the palace with her, she had asked Red Sleeves to find out the details as early as two days after returning to the door.
This Cuiqing does have a sister, but her sister has long been the master of the Wang family, and she married her brother to the Wang family as a concubine, and she is not in the Li Mansion at all!
Zixuan pinched the golden hairpin and said: "On this hairpin, quenching the 'three steps', if you don't tell the truth, I will use it to cut your face, even if you are saved, your face will be ruined!" ”
"Your distant cousin is still waiting for you in his hometown! If he sees that you are broken, will he redeem your slavery and can't wait to marry you? ”
Hearing this, Cui Qing trembled, her body trembled like a sieve, and she shook her head with a pale face and said, "Miss, the slave really didn't do anything, she didn't do anything!" ”
Zixuan suddenly lost her patience and said: "This concubine has the heart to spare your life, since you are not interesting, don't blame me for being ruthless!" ”
She handed the non-toxic part of the front end of the hairpin to Xiang Jiu, and said, "Xiang Jiu, I'll leave it to you, scratch her face." ”
"Yes!" Xiang Jiu took the hairpin, looked like a person who didn't talk much, and shouted: "Eat the cheap maid inside and out, take your life!" ”
Cuiqing was suddenly frightened, and immediately climbed to Zixuan's knees, crying: "The princess spares her life, I say, I say!" ”
Zixuan stopped at Xiang Jiu, looked at Cuiqing calmly, and waited for her next step.
Cui Qing said: "It was the eldest lady who asked me to pay attention to the movements of the palace and report to her from time to time, otherwise, she would have asked her brother to kill my sister!" ”
The lord can punish concubines at will, not to mention concubines who have not escaped their slave status!
Zixuan said: "No wonder she let the four of you serve me closely, I'm afraid that except for you, everyone else is under the control of the Wang family!" ”
Cui Qing didn't speak, only whimpered in fear.
Zixuan thought about it for a while, and then said: "Xiangjiu, please go and bring everyone from the Li Mansion here, ask for details one by one, and copy the list." ”
"Yes!" Xiang Jiu made a gesture and strode out the door.
Cuiqing, who was kneeling on the ground, whimpered lowly, Zixuan couldn't help but feel a little upset, took a dull sip of tea, and whispered in the ear of Red Sleeves: "Go and move those pots of orchids to the courtyard, remember to bring a handkerchief, don't touch the basin with your bare hands." ”
Although Red Sleeves was puzzled, he replied without hesitation: "Yes!" ”
About half an hour later, Xiang Jiu actually collected more than a dozen people one after another, handed the list to Zixuan, and said, "Princess, these are all servants from the Li family on the day you got married. ”
Zixuan looked at the list, and couldn't help but gasp, a good Wang, from the housekeeper to the handyman maid, were all arranged by her clearly, and her hand was wide enough, this is to control the whole palace in her Wang's hands!
Mrs. Liu, who took the lead, said: "I don't know if the princess came to us, what do you have to explain?" ”
In Zixuan's memory, except for some impressions of the four personal maids, she has no memory of these people!
She glanced at the list and said, "I don't know where the Wang family recruited you to my palace, a few days ago, this concubine was either busy or sick, and she didn't have time to take care of the affairs in the palace." ”
"Today, it's more leisurely, let's introduce yourselves one by one!"
Mrs. Liu's eyes flashed with a little self-confidence and contempt, and she said, "My name is Liu Guirong, and I work in the kitchen. ”
There were sixteen of them in all, and they said their names and positions one by one, and they were mixed in wherever the palace needed to employ people.
Zixuan snorted coldly, the Wang family was so careful that they infiltrated the entire palace to death.
