Chapter 196: Jiang Xie Visits the Sick
Early the next morning, the knock on the door of Huofu came in.
"Whoever came and knocked on the door early in the morning really doesn't understand the rules."
As soon as he entered the courtyard, the old housekeeper complained as he walked that the thin snow on the ground had not been cleared, and the nobles in the house were still asleep.
As soon as he pushed the door open, he saw that the person standing outside the door was Jiang Xie, still carrying a fruit basket in his hand, and he was alone.
"Is there something wrong with Lord Jiang?" The old butler saw that this young man appeared early in the morning, and he was not angry with him.
Jiang Xie bowed and saluted: "Hello housekeeper, I came to visit the little boy, I heard that he is sick." ”
"Lord Jiang is very well-informed, come in."
The old housekeeper led him to Huashao Courtyard, and he also explained a few words to him on the way, but more importantly, he said that now that no one in the house has gotten up, and Huo Yijun is also resting, so he needs to wait.
"Old housekeeper, you are busy with you, I am very familiar with Huo Mansion, I know the way to Huashaoyuan, just wait a minute, I will go by myself."
"Okay then, you go by yourself in a while, and then go around the hour, don't disturb the rest of the others."
Jiang Xie said politely: "Okay, I know!" ”
After the old housekeeper left, Jiang Xie did not continue to go to Huashao Courtyard, but turned back to the pavilion next to the lotus pond in the courtyard.
Last night, he happened to have insomnia, helping Zuo Yanqing, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, catch thieves, and hurriedly ran out of some noble women in Beijing from Huo Mansion in the second half of the night, and their appearance successfully attracted his attention, so Jiang Xie secretly lurked around the Huo family after catching the thief.
casually arrested a person to inquire about the situation in Huo's mansion and learned that Huo Yijun fell into the water.
Jiang Xie knew Huo Yijun's skills, and there was only one possibility to cause him to fall into the water, and there must have been an accident.
Therefore, he came to the scene of the incident to investigate.
There are many footprints on the scene, there are no traces of fighting, and the railing section of the pavilion facing the lotus pond is flat, which is man-made.
"The little boy finally woke up, he scared me to death last night, and vomited blood several times in a row, and I thought it would work again."
"Yes, yes, it's really uncomfortable to look at the little boy, he's still so young."
……
The servants came out of the Huashao courtyard with a basin of blood and water, Jiang Xie happened to see them, and after learning that the people were awake, he went to visit them with a fruit basket and a broken railing.
The door of the room was filled with the smell of medicine, and Jiang Xie stood outside the door a little hesitant before he entered the door.
"Master Jiang, since you're here, come in."
Hearing Huo Yijun's weak call, Jiang Xie Xin walked into the room, and he closed the door, looking cautious.
Huo Yijun put on a coat and sat at the table drinking tea, she didn't see her all night, she looked haggard, her face was as pale as paper, and her face was even more ugly than when she fell into the water and almost died in Huangquan.
"Are you feeling better?" Jiang Xie walked over and put the fruit basket on the table, and the whole person was a little restrained.
Huo Yijun glanced at him, and said angrily: "Master Jiang, what's wrong with you, it's not the first time you've come to the Huo family, why are you still preoccupied, did you do something secretly, and there is a ghost in your heart." ”
"I didn't-" Jiang Xie sat casually next to Huo Yijun, his fingers unconsciously tapping on the table.
Huo Yijun poured him a cup of tea and pushed it in front of him, and said lightly: "Last night can be regarded as tossing me to death, after I fell into the water, my grandmother brought the house doctor to diagnose me, but I didn't expect that person to secretly poison me, causing me to vomit so much blood, and become the ghost I am now." ”
"Didn't you have a heart attack?" Jiang Xie held the teacup in both hands and didn't dare to look at him, "How can you be poisoned." ”
Huo Yijun said faintly: "Yes, I just have a heart disease, that person almost killed me, Jiang Sizheng doesn't have anything to say?" ”
Jiang Xie looked back at her: "What did I say?" ”
Huo Yijun slapped the table with his hand, picked up Jiang Xie's placket and pressed him on the table, and asked: "Master Jiang, why are you still paying attention to Huo Mansion, how do you know that I fell into the water, and I came to see me in the morning and said that I was not weak-hearted."
She leaned closer and pressed against him, her long hair hanging down on the table next to Jiang Xie's head, faintly exuding a fragrance.
Jiang Xie blinked quickly, his hands tightly picked the edge of the table under him, and it took a long time to say half a sentence: "I...... That was not what I meant. ”
Huo Yijun pinched his chin, his eyes flashing: "What does that mean?" ”
"I'm just ......" Jiang Xie stopped talking, staring at her, but didn't know how to explain it to her.
Huo Yijun's eyes were sharp: "Just what?" ”
Jiang Xie's heart beat faster, his breathing became more and more rapid, so he simply said with a heartbeat, "I'm just worried that you will be a goof." ”
Huo Yijun suddenly let go of his hand, and his eyes softened: "So it's really you?" ”
Jiang Xie got up and stood aside, turned his back to her and explained: "Hey, I'll confess, last night I caught thieves with Zuo Yanqing and found that many nobles in Beijing escaped from Huofu, and I thought something big had happened, so I squatted there for a while, and by the way, I grabbed someone and asked about the situation." ”
"They said that you and Huo Yishan fell into the water, I was worried about your safety and was about to enter Huo Mansion immediately, but I found that Mrs. Huo's people were looking for a doctor, I know what the extent of your heart disease is, and I also know what kind of situation you are in the Huo family, if it is known that you have recovered, it will definitely threaten your safety."
"To be precise, I don't want you to be the second Huo Yijue, so I bought off Dr. Qiu and asked him to poison you and make you look serious, but there is actually nothing wrong with it, so that you can deceive the Huo family, and you will be in a better situation."
Huo Yijun put his hand on the table and bent slightly, and Jiang Xie actually thought of his situation outside the mansion.
She was a little moved: "I guess you asked Dr. Qiu to relieve me from the siege, because the injection he poisoned was still on the boat, and you took the needle bag when he got off the boat before......"
Jiang Xie let out an 'um' sound.
"Thank you, to be honest, if you hadn't let Dr. Qiu out of the siege, maybe my grandmother would have known that I was pretending to be sick last night, but you can imagine the consequences......"
Huo Yijun lowered his head and sighed deeply.
Jiang Xie turned to look at her: "Can I ask, what happened to you and Huo Yishan last night?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just that she wanted to push me down the river, but she didn't expect to fall down with her, and then the wicked person sued me first."
Jiang Xie walked forward and stood in front of her: "So Huo Yishan is plotting to kill the imperial court officials?" ”
Huo Yijun's heart suddenly tightened, and there was a feeling of uneasiness-
