King Duan got out of bed and sat down in front of several cases barefoot. Opening the drawer and taking out a knife, he stretched out his left arm and slashed it down.

One, two, three......

Seeing the blood oozing out, the sharp pain hit, the sound in his ears finally disappeared, and he felt a trace of joy and excitement.

He laughed out loud and dipped his index finger in a little blood and wiped it into his mouth.

The white teeth were stained with bright red blood.

After his emotions stabilized, he realized that he had actually cut his left arm.

He secretly said "It's broken", and quickly wiped off the blood with a handkerchief, sprinkled with medicinal powder and bandaged it.

He wiped off a few drops of blood from the cases with a handkerchief, and then went to the yarn lamp, opened the veil and burned it......

It didn't seem to have happened in the room, and he went to bed again.

Early the next morning, Ding Zhuang came to Zixuan to find Xun Xiang.

He shouted loudly outside the door, "Granddaughter, if you don't see Ye again, you won't be able to meet until three months later." ”

Today he was going to the Manufacturing Bureau, and the emperor punished him for three months and was not allowed to return to Beijing.

Luo Er opened the door, and Ding Zhuang ran in with his legs and feet.

Xun Xiang had already freshened up, and sat on the Luohan bed in the hall with her head tilted and didn't look at him.

Ding Zhuang sat on the side, and he didn't dare to come out.

He regretted it. This bull bragged, not only was the jade taken away, offending people, but also ruined more than 5,000 taels of silver.

It's okay to break the wealth and avoid disasters, but I'm afraid that disasters will be inevitable.

Zhang personally brought someone over with the breakfast of the two masters and quietly placed it on the table.

She smiled, "There are fragrant and fragrant Jiang Ji bean skin buns, father-in-law's favorite big meat buns and pancake rolls and green onions......"

Ding Zhuang said in a low voice, "Don't be angry with your granddaughter, your grandfather knows it's wrong, so she doesn't dare anymore." ”

Seeing the arrogant and domineering old man so low, Xun Xiang couldn't bear to blame him anymore, he still had something important to say.

She stretched out her hand to help her grandfather to the table and sit down, and the grandfather and grandson were as good as ever.

Ding Zhuang sent his subordinates down and whispered, "Yesterday, your father said that King Duan was thinking heavily and pretending to be stupid, so he had to guard against him." But I think even if he pretends to be stupid, he is righteous. ”

Xun Xiang said, "Don't look at the surface, haven't you eaten enough of this loss?" The lord must listen to persuasion, and for the royal people, no matter who they are, they must stay away. There are also those craftsmen in the capital, and I will drink and brag with them less in the future......"

He absolutely believed his granddaughter's words, and said busily, "Okay, listen to your granddaughter, stay away from those people." I heard that those craftsmen deliberately provoked trouble? Damn, your dad told me to play stupid, or I'm going to beat their yellow shit. ”

Xun Xiang looked at him solemnly and said, "Look at me and answer, my father's words must be listened to, otherwise I will really ignore you and not even return to this home." ”

Ding Zhuang also looked at Xun Xiang very solemnly and said, "Xiangxiang's words are all memorized, and I can't do Xiangxiang ignore me." When these three months passed, the master went back to his hometown to live for a while, chatting with Ruyue. The people of the capital are bad and have hearts, and they are afraid. ”

Seeing Ding Zhuang away, Xun Xiang said to Zhang, "I want to go back to the princess's mansion for two days, then enter the palace for two days, and come back in a few days." ”

Zhang's instructed, "Don't live in the princess's mansion alone, my mother is not at ease." ”

Xun Xiang nodded and agreed, she first went to Xun Mansion to talk to the old ancestor.

Just as he was about to get into the carriage, one of Princess Dongyang's guards hurriedly ran into the courtyard.

Xun Xiang asked, "Is there something wrong with my mother?" ”

The guard ran sweating and hugged his fists, "Report to the county lord, Her Royal Highness the princess suddenly fell ill last night, and the pain in her left arm was unbearable, and it is said that the pain was almost faint, and the pain was relieved when it was almost dawn."

"Someone has already gone to the Imperial Doctor. After the subordinates report to the county lord, they also have to go to the country to report to the auxiliary general. ”

Xun Xiang was startled, she asked Yuhuan to go back to the house and ask Yan Jialing to prepare a gift for the Duanwang Mansion tomorrow, and took someone to Niangniang'an by herself.

At the beginning of summer, the scenery of Xishan is picturesque, with clusters of colorful flowers mixed with thick greenery, and the sound of flowing water is endless.

Xun Xiang hurriedly walked into Niangniang'an, and several imperial doctors had already arrived.

They couldn't see what disease Princess Dongyang had after watching for a long time, saying that it was like paralysis, and they weren't sure that Princess Dongyang might have a pain in her left arm caused by the night wind.

Paralysis is rheumatism.

Xun Xiang entered the bedroom.

Dongyang was still lying on the bed, his face haggard and his eyes were red.

Seeing that her daughter was coming, she rarely showed weakness, tears welled up in her eyes, and she stretched out her left hand and said, "Girl, my mother almost can't see you." Mother's left arm hurts, it hurts like a knife cutting everything, and she is about to die.

"These few wastes, a diagnosis of a plausible disease. It is paralysis is paralysis, but it is said to be like paralysis, and it has never hurt before the wind blows in this palace. This can't be diagnosed, so what kind of imperial doctor should I be. ”

After saying that, he cried again.

The imperial doctor was so frightened that he bowed down to make amends, "Your Majesty is incompetent, please atone for your sins." ”

Xun Xiang took her outstretched hand and comforted, "Mother is blessed, and there are so many imperial doctors, it will be fine." ”

The string of prayer beads on Dongyang's wrist pierced Xun Xiang's eyes.

The rosary is moisturized with black oil and exudes a faint medicinal fragrance.

It was the string of beads that the Empty Mirror Master had given him. Xun Xiang watched her take it off before, and she didn't know when she put it on again.

Xun Xiang frowned almost imperceptibly.

Dongyang said again, "Xiangxiang, go back and plead with your grandmother, saying that my mother must have paralysis, the mountain is damp, and my arm hurts when I get cold." My mother wants to go back to the house to recuperate, and she will come back after she recovers. ”

Xun Xiang wasn't sure if she was suffering from paralysis, and she didn't want her to go back to live in the house, feeling that her lesson hadn't had enough.

But he had to say, "Okay, I'll go back and beg the emperor's grandmother." ”

Dongyang drank the medicine and applied the needle, and he became sleepy.

Mama Chai asked the imperial doctor to go to the wing room to rest. I don't know if Princess Dongyang will get sick, and I won't let them go for the time being.

After Dongyang fell asleep, Xun Xiang took off the beads on her wrist and called Mama Chai to go to the West House.

Holding up the beads, she asked, "Why did my mother put this string of beads on again?" ”

Before, Xun Xiang didn't say that this string of beads was bad, but said matter-of-factly, "No matter how famous Master Empty Mirror is, it can't compare to Master Mingyuan, and if my mother wants to wear beads, she will wear Master Mingyuan's ......."

It is not good to wear a jade bracelet in the nunnery, so you can only wear prayer beads. Not only for decoration, but also for easy removal and chanting at any time.

Princess Dongyang felt that it was this reason, and replaced the beads given by Master Mingyuan in front of her daughter.

Mama Chai said, "Her Royal Highness the princess has been wearing Master Mingyuan's beads for a few days, and I think it's not as good as the beads of Master Mingyuan. He also said that the medicinal fragrance of the beads smelled better, and he wore it all the time if he didn't stay up at night......"

Is this creating patience?

Xun Xiang put the beads into her purse and said, "Tell my mother that she is sick while wearing this string of beads, which means that this string of beads is not as good as Master Mingyuan's beads, find out the beads and put them on for her." ”

To strengthen, it's not that this string of beads is bad, but that Master Mingyuan's things are better.

Then he asked, "Who has been in contact with my mother these days?" (End of chapter)
