Chapter 66: Wine is a Good Thing
Cold Frost handed the bottle to Qiaoyue and said, "I just went out for a walk and remembered something."
"Oh?" Qiao Yue said curiously, "Madame, what did you think of?"
Leng Shuang smiled, and then said to Qiaoyue, "It's nothing."
Qiao Yue couldn't ask questions, so she could only say, "Madam, it's going to be dark soon, and the slave maid is waiting for you to wash and rest."
When it was time to go to bed, Cold Frost lay on the bed, and with her eyes closed, she thought of what she had seen during the day, and the big tree was covered with red silk, and there were many gold, silver, and jewels, and she felt very uncomfortable looking at those things.
Cold Frost tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep until there was a knock on the door outside, "Knock knock."
"Madame, the slave has come in."
Cold Frost quickly lay down, closed his eyes, and pretended to be asleep.
The door creaked open, Frost heard footsteps, and someone came to his bed.
"Who are you?" Cold Frost asked.
"I'm here to deliver food."
Leng Shuang opened her eyes and looked at the girl, who was holding a food box with a bowl of porridge and a plate of vegetables, as well as a pot of wine.
"I'm not hungry."
"Madam, this wine is a good thing, it can relieve fatigue and help you sleep." The girl said softly.
Cold Frost looked at her and said, "Put it there."
"The slave and maid retreated first."
After the maid was gone, Cold Frost sat up.
She looked at the bottle of powder on the table, she was going to put it back in place, but she suddenly stopped again, she remembered the man saying to let her spread the powder in the room.
Cold Frost hesitated, she decided to give it a try, and it didn't poison her anyway.
Cold Frost took out an embroidery needle from under the pillow, pricked her finger, and dripped a few drops of blood in the bottle, she sealed the cap, then put it under the pillow, and lay down to sleep.
Early the next morning, Leng Frost woke up and looked at the bottle on the edge of the pillow, and a smile appeared on the corner of Leng Shuang's mouth.
She picked up the bottle and found that the cork was engraved with three words, "Forget Worries Grass".
Forget the worries? How did she find the name a little familiar?
Leng Shuang thought about it carefully, and suddenly thought that the person last night had said that as long as she sprinkled the Forgetfulness Grass, she would never think about running away or harming others in this life, and he always had a hat on his face, covering his face.
Cold Frost went to the kitchen with the bottle, and she wanted to ask the mother-in-law in the kitchen.
At this time, Leng Shuang saw Liu's mother walk out.
"Madame, are you up?" Mother Liu said respectfully.
"Well, what are you going to do today?" Cold Frost asked.
"Madame is going to attend a banquet today, and the slave has already ordered someone to buy rouge gouache." Liu's mother said.
Cold Frost nodded, "That's good, I'm a little tired, let's rest for a while."
She went back to her bedroom and lay on the bed, but she couldn't sleep, and the appearance of the mysterious man and his strange expression came to mind.
"Is he really the mysterious man?" Cold Frost muttered, "But why would he help himself? Isn't it ......?"
Leng Shuang suddenly thought of something important, she quickly got up, picked up the bottle on the table, walked towards the window, and then sprinkled all the powder in the bottle on the windowsill.
When Leng Shuang returned to the bed, she closed her eyes, her heart was beating fast, and she was faintly excited.
After a while, she slowly calmed down her mind, she listened for a while, heard the sound of talking in the yard, she immediately opened the curtain and walked out, only to see a few male servants standing in the courtyard, they all carried a bamboo basket in their hands, which contained vegetables and fruits, they saw that the cold frost came out, and immediately lowered their heads.
"Go and get these dishes back to the kitchen, and then go buy some meat and fish, and we'll have more to eat in the evening."
several
The manservant answered, and went to the kitchen, and soon the cook had all the dishes ready, and then boiled another pot of chicken soup.
"Madam, the lord said that there will be a flower-viewing banquet in the mansion tonight, so that you can change into new clothes and get ready for the banquet."
Cold Frost frowned and said, "I know, I'll go and get my makeup now."
After the cold cream was dressed, she wore a pale green dress with a white silk scarf on it, a single screw bun on her head, and a pink silk flower between her temples.
She walked out of the room, and then followed the maid all the way to the garden.
When I got to the garden, I found that this place was very beautifully arranged, surrounded by peach blossom forests, and there were pavilions in the peach blossom forests, and the pavilions were full of flowers around them, which looked very beautiful.
"Ma'am, please."
Leng Shuang followed the maid to the peach blossom forest, and she couldn't help but sigh when she looked at the scenery here.
"Ma'am, what's wrong with you?" The maid next to her asked with concern.
"Nothing," Cold Frost shook her head.
"Madam, these flowers are so beautiful, you see, there is a lotus pond there, it's so beautiful."
"Really?" Cold Frost looked at the lake not far away, she saw the lake, on the opposite side of the lake was a hillside, the hillside was full of peach blossoms, although the branches of the peach blossoms had not yet budded, but it could be vaguely guessed that it would grow faster and faster.
Cold Frost's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a dangerous look in his eyes, it seemed that what that person said was true, this place would really become a peach source, not only a peach source, but also a fairyland, and he was the master of this fairyland.
At the bottom of the hillside, they walked up along the stone road of the hillside, the hillside was very high, and after walking almost a stick of incense, they reached the halfway up the mountain, at this time, they finally saw the top of the mountain, only to see that a unique courtyard was built at the top of the mountain, the appearance of the villa was made of blue bricks, the yard was planted with flowers and plants, and there were two geese in the yard, and they were lazily basking in the sun at this time.
"Whose yard does this belong to?" Leng Shuang looked at the two geese, and wondered in his heart, such a yard, even ordinary people would not casually let people raise geese in their own yards!.
"Madame Hui, this is the courtyard where the lord stayed, Madame was reluctant to come here before, so the lord never let anyone in, Madam, don't worry, this place is absolutely safe, and no one will come to peep at you." The maid whispered.
Listening to the maid's words, Leng Shuang was even more convinced of his previous guess.
"Since it's the yard that my father left, I'll live here temporarily, and I've worked hard for you during this time." Cold Frost said softly.
She walked into the house, looking at the furnishings in the house, her heart was always in a trance, everything here was too familiar, her memory seemed to have been sealed for a long time, and now her head still hurts badly, and she can't think clearly.
"Madame, it's time for lunch." The maid said.
Leng Shuang looked at the maid, this maid's name is Cuiliu, she was a maid that Leng Shuang bought when she first married into the Prime Minister's Mansion, Leng Shuang is very good to her, she is also loyal, and has always been by Leng Shuang's side.
Leng Shuang walked to the edge of the table and looked at the food on the table, these dishes were very simple, except for a plate of fried pork liver, the others were vegetarian dishes, Leng Shuang didn't have much appetite, she drank a bowl of chicken soup, ate a piece of pork ribs and put down the chopsticks.
"Madame, what's wrong with you? Is it an unappetizing dish?" The maid Cuiliu asked with concern.
"It's okay, I'm full." Cold Frost said lightly.
Cold Frost was full and a little sleepy, she yawned and said, "You all go about your own business!"
"Yes, ma'am."
Cold Frost returned to her room, and she lay on top of the soft collapse, all she could think about was what the man had said.
There was a fire in her heart, which made her feel a little irritable, but it could not be extinguished, she took a deep breath, and then forced herself to calm down.
If that mysterious man
If she didn't lie to her, then she would soon find that place, and then retrieve her things, and finally leave the Prime Minister's Mansion and live a life of isolation, as for everything in this Prime Minister's Mansion, let them continue to fight, anyway, she can't control it, the only thing she can think of now is to protect the child in her belly, and not let her child die in this messy house.
Leng Shuang thought a lot, she suddenly sat up from the couch, looked at the empty room, and suddenly felt a wave of sadness in her heart, it turned out that unconsciously, she had been in this place for more than five years, and she had not forgotten what happened at the beginning.
She didn't blame anyone for what happened at the beginning, her father was also innocent, she hated her mother, and it was her mother who would let her suffer something like that.
Thinking of this, Leng Shuang's face was gloomy, this woman was really a femme fatale, and she treated herself so viciously.
"Ma'am? Is there something wrong with you?" The maid Cuiliu walked in with a basin of hot water, and looked at the cold frost's face was not very good.
"Oh, I'm fine," Leng Shuang replied lightly, "Cuiliu, you help me to walk around the courtyard outside, and breathe!"
Cuiliu glanced at the cold frost, and then said, "Madam, you are not feeling well, so don't go out!" The air here is good."
Cold Frost glanced at her, then said, "It's okay, help me out."
Cuiliu had no choice but to help Leng Shuang go out and walk into the yard, Leng Shuang looked at the environment here, she smiled, she was already tired of that kind of intrigue days, she wanted to live an ordinary life, she only hoped that her husband would be good to her for the rest of her life.
"Madame, you're tired! I'll make you a cup of tea!" Cuiliu said.
Cold Frost nodded, and she rested back in her chair.
Cold Frost closed her eyes, and suddenly heard a sound of footsteps, she opened her eyes, and saw a slender man walking into the courtyard.
With a jug of wine in his hand, he walked slowly towards Cold Frost.
