Not long after nightfall, there was a knock on the small door of the palace.

After Zixuan and the prince finished walking, they went back to their respective courtyards, and at this time, she was practicing calligraphy in the room.

Redsleeves knocked on the door and came in, whispering a few words in her ear.

"Are you sure they don't have a 'tail' behind them?" Zixuan asked cautiously.

Red Sleeves shook her head, "Mrs. Liu and her son came quietly, and she is rolling on the ground in pain now!" ”

Zixuan put down the pen with a smile and said, "Count her as interesting, she knows that she let her own son carry her, and she didn't alarm others." ”

"I'll let them wait in the West Chamber, it's close to us, does the princess want to see her?" Redsleeves asked.

Zixuan tidied up her clothes and said, "Of course I will see you, otherwise I would have freshened up and gone to bed." ”

"The Wang family is so jealous of her, she must know some secret things about the Wang family, let's go and take a look!"

Zixuan walked out the door, Red Sleeves following behind.

In the west room, Mrs. Liu was sweating profusely and rolling on the ground, screaming in pain.

Her son was also anxious to sigh and walk around anxiously!

Zixuan listened to the movement outside the door before entering, and was quite surprised to see Mrs. Liu's son.

Mrs. Liu herself is stout and unbearable, but her son is gentle, and his eyebrows are upright.

When Mrs. Liu heard the door open, when she saw Zixuan, it was like seeing a life-saving straw, and she hurriedly said: "Princess, save the slave and maid, the slave and maid are in pain and life is better than death!" ”

Her son said: "He Yungui has seen the princess, I know that my mother has offended you during the day, it is ours or not, please be a big man, tolerate her once, as long as you give me the antidote, let me save my mother, I can do whatever you want." ”

"He Yungui?" Zixuan sat down unhurriedly and said, "You are a filial person." ”

He Yungui said: "My mother has been working hard outside the village for so many years in order to provide me with education and gain fame. ”

With that, he made a gesture to kneel.

Zixuan hurriedly supported him and said, "Gongzi He, I can't afford your gift, the scholar only kneels to the emperor, I'm just a princess with no grade, hurry up!" ”

He Yungui refused to get up, and said: "I know, the blame for this matter is on my mother, I didn't have the shame to come to see the princess, but the Lang Zhong who invited me was helpless. ”

"Yungui really can't see his mother in such pain, even if he is cheeky tonight, he has to kneel and beg the princess for an antidote, there is really no way."

Zixuan saw that she couldn't help it, so she had to move away and said, "If you continue to kneel, I will leave, if you don't kneel, then there is still a discussion!" ”

Mrs. Liu said: "Son, get up quickly!" ”

When He Yungui heard this, he sighed deeply and had to stand up.

Zixuan said: "That's right! A man should have the appearance of a man, and a scholar should not kneel down to someone in a hurry! ”

He Yungui was red-faced by Zixuan's words, and bowed his head and said: "The princess understands the righteousness, and the lesson is reasonable!" ”

"Then Gongzi He is promoted, I am just a woman within the deep walls, and what I care about is only my own gains and losses." Zixuan said with a thousand words.

Although Mrs. Liu rolled in pain, her brain was the fastest turning, and she hurriedly said: "Princess, everything during the day is to blame for the old woman's confusion, as long as you have orders in the future, the old woman has nothing to do!" ”

Hearing this, Zixuan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Didn't you just say during the day that you want to be loyal to the Wang family?" ”

Mrs. Liu's face turned pale in pain, and she said bitterly: "I don't count what I said during the day, princess, princess, you believe the old woman, many years ago, the Wang family asked me to do something, and this matter is related to your mother's death!" ”

Zixuan's heart "chuckled" for a moment, and she was stunned in her heart, and it took a moment to stabilize her mind and say, "My mother, didn't she die in childbirth?" ”

Mrs. Liu said with great difficulty: "A woman has given birth to a child, and it has been a ghost gate since ancient times, but your mother is a second child, how can it be more dangerous than a first child, there is something wrong with it!" ”

After that, she seemed to collapse, clutching her stomach, hunched over and lying on the ground, and no longer struggling.

Suddenly there was no sound, He Yungui thought that his mother was dead, and he was so shocked that he hurried to see it.

Mrs. Liu moved a little at this time, but He Yungui cried, "Mother, mother, my son is useless!" ”

Seeing that he was still going to cry, Zixuan hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, I'm here, your mother will be fine!" ”

After that, she took out the antidote from her sleeve pocket and poured one to He Yungui, "Feed your mother quickly, it won't hurt soon." ”

He Yungui was happier than his mother when he received amnesty, and immediately helped Mrs. Liu to get up and take it, and poured a glass of water.

After Mrs. Liu took the medicine, she no longer had pain.

Zixuan lest she say anything stupid again, spoiling the atmosphere just now, so she said: "This can only temporarily suppress your toxicity, and on the night of the full moon next year, if there is no antidote, you will have another attack." ”

Mrs. Liu had just recovered her spirits, and when she heard this, she was so frightened that she whimpered.

He Yungui had a hidden face and said: "Mother, don't complain about the princess anymore, if you don't help the Wang family do those hurtful things, how can you be today!" ”

I heard this very much, Zixuan was very surprised, and said that the son born of a mouse would make a hole, but this Mrs. Liu's son was out of touch with her, as if he had changed, and he spoke in a reasonable way.

I don't know if he's pretending to be or if he's really good-natured.

Mrs. Liu listened to her son's words very much, and no longer wailed all over the field, but bowed to Zixuan in fear.

Zixuan said in a deep voice: "You go on, my mother, why is it difficult to give birth!" ”

Mrs. Liu paused, but still said: "Back then, the Wang family asked me to buy her morning glory in the countryside for several months, which was an abortion pill. ”

"Months?" Zixuan was puzzled, since she wanted to kill her mother, wouldn't it be okay once? Why do you have to buy morning glory for months.

Mrs. Liu said: "The Wang family was still an outer room at that time, and she couldn't even enter the door of the Li family, she didn't tell me the specific things, but according to my guess, it must have something to do with your mother's death!" ”

Zixuan said coldly: "Guess? If you don't tell the truth again, on the night of the full moon next year, you won't want to get the antidote again! ”

He Yungui also said hurriedly on the side: "Mother, this is a matter of human life, you can't hide it!" ”

Mrs. Liu said with a sincere face: "I really only know so much!" You know the Wang's city, although I am her cronies, but after all, how can she tell me all her calculations! ”

This is somewhat credible, but Zixuan still has to force her again, Mrs. Liu is cunning after all, and she doesn't cry when she doesn't see the coffin.

"Although you and the Wang family are a little related, if you don't help her do anything else, how can you be her confidant and give you back authority!" Zixuan said coldly.

Mrs. Liu said: "I did something else, but those things have nothing to do with you, the princess." ”

"Madame, after all, she is good to me, and she paid me five hundred taels of gold today, I can only tell you so much!"

"Oh, five hundred taels of gold, when she got married, she was alone, her money was my mother's, shouldn't I care if she wants to come back!" Zixuan said coldly: "Have you forgotten how it hurt just now?" ”

Mrs. Liu immediately knelt down and said, "Princess, you have to be considerate of the old woman, although I am not a good person, I also know what loyalty is!" ”

She cried: "You can't help it even if you let me die in pain, and the old woman won't say anything else when she dies!" ”

Zixuan stood still, not wanting to talk to her, but said: "Okay, there is still 1 month until the night of the next full moon, you go back and think slowly, and then answer me after thinking about it!" ”

"Red Sleeves, send-off!" Zixuan left directly.

Leaving Mrs. Liu's mother and son, looking at each other.
