Chapter 17: Last Night's Bowl of Soup

"Childe." Bai Bian pulled two horses outside the edict and waited for Shen Zhiyun.

The breeze blows through the treetops, and the leaves swing in an arc.

Shen Zhiyun and Gu Hanshu were finally released.

Bai Bian pulled two horses and waited outside, but the edict did not allow him to approach, and he was still some distance away from Shen Zhiyun.

The torrential rain last night only stopped this morning, and the streets were still wet, and the water was piled up in puddles one after another.

Shen Zhiyun walked out of the prison, with a white hairband tied with green silk, and changed into prison clothes, wearing the same set as when he entered.

The guards of the Imperial City Division stood guard at the gate, and closed the gate again after Shen Zhiyun went out.

Seeing Bai Bian pulling two horses from a distance without driving, he felt a little strange in his heart, and he didn't think much about it.

When Bai Bian saw his master, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "Son, Madame is critically ill, go home quickly!" ”

Shen Zhiyun was imprisoned in the edict for three days, and he was very tired, but at this time, his heart was like falling off a cliff, and his expression was shocked, "How come?" Didn't the doctor say that the situation has been very stable in the past few months? ”

Shen Zhiyun took the horse rope and kicked onto the horse's back.

"Time is urgent, I'll talk to Childe in detail when I get back." Bai Bian also pulled the rope and got on the horse.

"Drive!"

A master and a servant, riding two horses through the streets, turned a few corners, splashed sludge stained the horses' hooves, and the sound of horses' hooves clattered the peace of the past.

Although the rain has stopped, there is still a little wind. The horseback ride was fast, and the cold wind blew through the sideburns, mixed with the smell of panic.

To return home, you have to pass through the main street, there is a lot of people, and the horses' hooves have slowed down.

The shouting of Fang Shi made people restless, and Shen Zhiyun was driving a horse, anxious.

When I got out of the main street, the speed immediately increased, and the pedestrians who came and went went to avoid it on both sides, for fear of hitting it.

The sound of horses' hooves shattered.

"Phewβ€”"

The horse was still standing up, so Shen Zhiyun turned over and jumped off the horse, and quickly jumped up the steps into the Shen Mansion.

Bai Bian followed behind and dismounted into the house, and followed Shen Zhiyun straight to Zhen's quiet residence.

I almost bumped into someone on the road, and I didn't look back, and the soles of my feet ran towards the inner courtyard like a wind.

Before she could get to the door of Zhen's quiet residence, before Shen Zhiyun could push the door, she heard a sharp wail from Mama Gui inside, "Madam! How can you let the old slave live when you leave! ”

Shen Zhiyun's legs were a little weak for a moment, and she didn't even have the strength and courage to push open this door.

The sound of people sobbing could be heard intermittently in the courtyard.

In an instant, Shen Zhiyun pushed open the door and walked through the courtyard into the house.

Through a barrier against the wind, she saw the hand hanging on the side of the bed, kneeling on the ground and holding Mama Gui on the side of the bed.

Her feet were like lead, and ten thousand pounds of grief burned into a fire, rushing into her brain, and clamouring and raging all her reason into the wilderness, and for a moment the world was silent, only herself and the man who was quiet in the bed.

She walked over with difficulty, a few steps away like a knife cut, Yu near Yu sharp, Yu sharp Yu pain, so painful that she breathed as if she was swallowing a blade.

There was a person standing next to her, Mama Gui was startled, looked up and saw that the person who came was Gongzi, and if she wanted to say something to consolation, she was stuck in her throat, and she couldn't spit out half of the words that should be said, so she could only give way to the side, so that this moment, which was not even the last moment, could still have some warmth.

Shen Zhiyun knelt beside the bed, took Jiang Hai's hand, and covered it with both hands on his chest.

Her eyelashes trembled, but her eyes were dry and tearless, her mother was gone, and she didn't know what else to say.

A dark, sticky emotion engulfed her.

"Mama......" Shen Zhiyun's voice was weak and low, and he trembled a little.

As she spoke, her originally dry eyes filled with tears for a moment, and beads of tears slid down her face in strings.

"Childe." Mama Gui held Shen Zhiyun, worried that she would be too sad.

Shen Zhiyun shook his head and signaled that he was fine.

Her eyes and nose were so sour that she couldn't utter a full sentence.

The surging pain of the tide was slightly calmed.

Shen Zhiyun took a deep breath, tried his best to stabilize his breath, put his hand on Mama Gui's shoulder, and said undoubtedly, "Mama." ”

"Please tell me what happened to Jane's quiet house these days when I was away. I didn't believe it, I didn't believe that my mother didn't want to wait for me to come back and look at me again and then leave. ”

Shen Zhiyun has always been respectful to her mother and Mama Gui in Zhen Jingju.

Only then did he show a little bit of the momentum of the powerful ministers in the court, which made Mama Gui a little shocked.

This is Childe, madam, why did you go so fast, Childe's bright road has just begun, why are you willing not to accompany her to take another look?

Mama Gui wiped her tears, spoke tremblingly, and stopped talking a little, "Childe ......"

"Mama, let's get up and talk." Shen Zhiyun helped Mama Gui up.

"Lord...... The Lord came to see Madame yesterday. Mama Gui thought about it and said.

Shen Zhiyun's heart tightened, "What is he doing here?" Didn't I send someone to guard the outside of the hospital? ”

Mama Gui shook her head, "Madame knew that the lord had come to see her, and she was happy to let the lord come in, and she also dismissed our ......."

Saying that, Mama Gui couldn't help sobbing again, "Madam is really dead-eyed, the Hai family was down, how the lord treated Madame, we can't stand it...... Now that the lord has given Zhen Jingju a little look, the lady can't help but be happy in her heart, and the old slave feels distressed when she sees it! ”

How much her mother is so affectionate to Shen Pingshan, and how she doesn't know, otherwise she would have separated from Shen Pingshan and set up another family.

Pity her mother, who has been infatuated with the wrong payment all her life, from a famous girl in the capital to a sick and lonely woman......

"Mama, tell me about it carefully." Shen Zhiyun held back his grief and asked.

"The lord and his wife are in the house, and our people are waiting in the courtyard...... It was originally calm and harmonious, but suddenly there was some quarrel in the house, and the old slave was worried, and was about to push the door in, when the lord came out, and his face was very impatient. Suddenly, the old slave hurried into the back room, the lady fell from the bed, the old slave went to caress the lady, just next to the lady, the lady raised her head, squirted a mouthful of blood and fainted. The old slave was frightened, for fear that the lady would not wake up like this, so he went to the doctor again......"

The more Mama Gui recalled, the more heartbroken she became, and her voice was eager and her words were a little blurred

"Don't worry, Mama, talk carefully." Shen Zhiyun grabbed Gui Mama's arm, "My mother's illness originally needed to recuperate, if it was really Shen Pingshan who came and killed my mother to death, I would definitely not let him go." ”

As he spoke, a cold light flashed in Shen Zhiyun's eyes.

Mama Gui lowered her eyes sadly, she didn't pay attention to Shen Zhiyun's expression, she suddenly remembered some details, her pupils shrank, she raised her head suddenly, grabbed Shen Zhiyun's arm, and her lips trembled

"Childe, Childe, I remember...... I remember. ”

Shen Zhiyun hurriedly asked, "What?" ”

"When the lord came, someone followed, carrying a bowl of soup!" Mama Gui said.

"How much did my mother drink? Where is the soup at the moment? Shen Zhiyun asked.

Mama Gui slapped her thigh and sighed in annoyance, "Madame vomited blood and fainted, Zhen Jingju was busy, I'm afraid it wasn't taken out by someone else!" ”

According to Shen Pingshan's usual style, Shen Zhiyun was not in the mansion, and Shen Pingshan also came to Zhen Jingju to see Shen Hai's family, which was really unusual, not to mention that he also prepared soup, it was like the sun came out of the west.

Now that the soup is gone, and the people are gone, there is no way to verify whether they died of illness, anger or poisoning.

But Shen Zhiyun couldn't calm down at the moment, she strode out of the door and shouted to the secret guard, "Yan Nan!" ”

Yan Nan flew down from the roof, and as soon as he stood in front of Shen Zhi, he felt that the long sword on his waist was pulled out.

As a guard, he subconsciously wanted to attack, but reason made him realize that the person who drew the sword was his master, and resisted the urge to make a move, but his hand moved lightly and put it down.

Shen Zhiyun drew his sword and rushed towards Shen Pingshan's courtyard, Bai Bian followed behind and shouted, "Childe, childe!" Don't be impulsive! ”

He turned his head and shouted at Yan Nan, "Yan Nan, go find Lan Yu!" ”

Then he hurriedly followed Shen Zhiyun.

Shen Zhiyun raised his sword and broke into Shen Pingshan's courtyard, and the subordinates and guards were startled.

reacted and hurried to stop it.

Shen Zhiyun kicked away the person who was in the way and scolded, "Get out!" ”

"Lord! Lord! ”

Shen Pingshan's attendant for many years, Yan Sanbai, hurriedly rushed into the house, and just pushed open the door when Shen Zhiyun, who came up from behind, kicked into the house and planted his face to the ground.

When I entered the door, Shen Pingshan was just upside down with Aunt Jiang, and the two balls of flesh of Bai Huahua were intertwined on the bed.

"Ahh Ahh

"Rebel? You're going to be the other way around! Shen Pingshan hurriedly put on his clothes and got out of bed.

The windows were closed in the room, the curtains were drawn, the light was not bright, and he got out of bed to see Shen Zhiyun's appearance.

The white belt was tied with green silk, his hair was half draped, his eyes were cloudy, and he stared straight at him, holding a long sword in his hand, as if he had come to ask for his life.

Shen Pingshan couldn't help but feel weak, but his momentum couldn't go down, "What are you going to do!" Are you going to kill you! ”

Shen Zhiyun rushed straight over with his sword, Shen Pingshan was shocked, and retreated back against the bed.

The sword came out of Shen Zhiyun's hand and flew towards Shen Pingshan.

Shen Pingshan was so shocked that he sat down on the bed, the sword grazed his face door and threw it on the bed, falling next to the wall and falling on Aunt Jiang's body.

"Ahh Killed! Aunt Jiang's shrill voice rang out again.

"If you scream again, the sword will pierce you in the chest." Shen Zhiyun said coldly.

Aunt Jiang was silent, trembling in the quilt, tears and snot all came out.

"Get out of bed...... Get lost! Shen Zhiyun opened his mouth, and the cold in the room became a little heavier.

Aunt Jiang rolled out of bed with the quilt on her shoulder, the sword was almost bloody!

She ran out wrapped in a quilt like this, and everything was less important than her life.

Shen Pingshan sat on the bed, his legs were frightened, "You, what are you going to do?" Don't forget, you've just come out of prison......"

Shen Zhiyun walked up to Shen Pingshan, her lips opened and closed, plain, as if asking, "Do you know how my mother is at the moment?" ”

Shen Pingshan didn't know why, "Lie down in Zhenjingju, otherwise what else can you do?" ”

Shen Zhiyun took a deep breath, "My mother went. ”

Shen Pingshan was shocked, and stumbled and said, "He, when?" ”

"While you and the woman are committing adultery in the day."

Shen Zhiyun couldn't help but close his eyes.

Mother, why are you so unable to see it, you can't see the Shen family that you can't let go, the relationship between husband and wife you maintain, your wolf-hearted husband, what kind of rotten person are you......

"Let me ask you, the soup you brought to Zhen Jingju yesterday was prepared by you?" Shen Zhiyun looked at Shen Pingshan with cold eyes.

"What? What soup? Shen Pingshan didn't expect this to turn so quickly.

"You ask if that bowl of soup yesterday has anything to do with your mother's death?" Shen Pingshan secretly screamed in his heart, could it be that the woman didn't die of illness, she was poisoned!

"Did you ask someone to prepare it?" Shen Zhiyun continued to ask.

Shen Pingshan knew that he couldn't annoy Shen Zhiyun at the moment, and said honestly, "It was prepared for me by your Aunt Jiang, if there is anything in it, it has nothing to do with me!" ”

"I really wanted to comfort your mother yesterday, but I didn't ...... anything."

Before Shen Pingshan finished speaking, Shen Zhiyun turned around and left, she came to question Shen Pingshan, of course she didn't believe that Shen Pingshan would kill her mother, although Shen Pingshan was unkind, but there was no reason to take her mother's surname.

When Shen Pingshan saw her leave, a mouthful of old blood in his heart was angry.

Rebel, rebel! It's the other thing that the sky is going to kill him!

Shen Zhiyun walked out of the courtyard, and Lan Yu and Yan Nan rushed over and stopped her, "What is Childe going to do?" ”

"Go kill the Jiang family!" Shen Zhiyun angrily walked around Lan Yu and forward.

She knew that Shen Zhiyun broke into the courtyard of the lord with a sword, and now she came out of the courtyard again, it seems that the lord is fine, so if there are dirty hands in this mansion, she already has a guess in her heart, and now that the guess is confirmed, she is also angry in her heart, but she still needs to stop it.

"Childe, don't be impulsive, the Jiang family can't be killed!" Lan Yu continued to stop her

"And what do you want from me? My mother died by a miracle, and I can't punish the filthy ones for her? Shen Zhiyun said with red eyes.

Lan Yu knelt down, "Childe and Mrs. are close relatives of flesh and blood, it is right for Childe to investigate, Lan Yu only asks, Childe should not be impulsive, don't hurt people's lives......"

She was afraid that Shen Zhiyun would be impulsive and take the surname of the Jiang family, she had just come out of the edict prison, and above the court, how many eyes and ears were there, and now it was a matter of a long time, and she must not be truthful.

"Childe, you can arrest the Jiang family, lock him up, whatever you want, now we have no evidence, we can't hurt people's lives!"

Shen Zhiyun scolded, "Get out of the way!" ”

"Childe, Madame's first seven years haven't passed yet, she can see it!" Lan Yu grabbed Shen Zhiyun's robe and cried.

Hearing her mother, Shen Zhiyun calmed down a little, and felt sad in her heart, she was limited by the imperial court, Mama Gui, Lan Yu, Bai Bian, and so many people in the house, if she fell into danger on impulse, what would these people do.

She closed her eyes, the corners of her eyes were ruddy, and she was silent for a while before she said, "Lan Yu, I understand." ”

"Yannan."

"Yes." Yan Nan responded.

"You lead someone to lock up the Jiang family, and no one is allowed to see her! You don't have to give her food, just starve her and lock her up! ”

"Yes!"

Let Yan Nan go, instead of going by herself, because she was afraid that she would see her again, Jiang couldn't help but let her die and go to her mother's funeral!
