Chapter 44: The Queen Mother Gives Medicine

"What?" Ling Zaifu suddenly stood still, and looked up in astonishment: "Xin Yao? She's going to kill you? ”

"Dad, looking at your expression, your connections must not have told you that Your Majesty almost died at the hands of your sister, right?"

Before Ling Xi's words were finished, Ling Zaifu's knees weakened, and he knelt on the ground with a "poof".

"Dad, what are you doing here, get up......

"Get up, you can't get up," Ling Zaifu wanted to cry without tears: "Xi'er, let's not take your father, you tell me the truth, you are joking, right?" ”

"Dad, do you think I'm going to make a joke about this?"

“…… This dead girl, is she going to drag our Ling family to bury her?! ”

Ling Xi didn't hide it, she told everything Ling Xinyao had done, and emphasized that she forced herself to kill the tyrant.

Ling Zai's beard trembled, and he almost went crazy in the carriage.

finally entered the house, and immediately roared: "Where is Ling Xinyao? Call her to me! ”

"Master, two, the second miss didn't come home."

"Didn't come back?" Ling Zaifu guessed this result, but he was still furious: "Lao Tzu knows that she hasn't come back, so let's send people out to find them, live to see people, dead to see corpses, dead and alive Lao Tzu has to see her, go and find her!" ”

Ling Zaifu also knew that Ling Xinyao would definitely be hiding now, but the position that the Ling family should give still had to be.

He had to let the tyrant know that he didn't know anything about Ling Xinyao's murder of the monarch, and now that he knew, he naturally wanted to arrest the rebel girl to apologize for his crimes!

Ling Xi sat there, drinking tea and eating fruits, silently watching the old father go crazy.

When he finished roaring, he poured a cup of tea and presented it: "Dad, don't get excited, Your Majesty said that my sister is an unforgivable sin, but I have a meritorious role in saving the driver, so our Ling family's merits are offset by each other, and this time we will not embarrass the Ling family!" ”

Ling Zaifu's eyes lit up instantly: "Then you didn't say it earlier!" ”

He knew that the Ling family would not be destroyed, and he would not be afraid until now.

"However, Xi'er, even if Your Majesty doesn't hold the Ling family accountable, Xinyao's matter ...... She's your sister after all?! ”

"What do you mean, Dad?" Ling Xi smiled: "It won't be that you want to turn the big things into small things, and the small things will be turned into small things, and when she kills me, the matter doesn't exist, right?" ”

“…… This one? ”

"Dad, you have to make one thing clear, I am standing here alive because I have a big life, not because my sister is merciful! I'm almost one step away from falling to the ground, are you letting Ling Xinyao go now? ”

Ling Zaifu was speechless for a moment.

In his heart, he didn't want his two daughters to kill each other.

But they are already incompatible, life and death are opposite, and he, as a father, is really not good at persuasion.

He ended up with nothing and went back to his room in despair.

After Ling Xi washed, Hua Luo brought a warm decoction.

"Miss, I've taken my medicine."

Ling Xi was wiping his hair, and he didn't look back: "What kind of medicine to take, I'm not injured or sick......

Suddenly, a strange memory flashed through her mind.

That was the memory of Ling Xi, the paper man.

Every morning or before going to bed, she would drink a bowl of medicine.

In her memory, this medicine seems to have been given by the Queen Mother.

"Hua Luo, my medicine...... How long have you been eating? ”

"About three or four years, right? Intermittently," Hua Luo thought carefully for a long time: "At the beginning, Miss ate two meals a day, and then one meal a day, and once every other year in the past year...... Oh. ”

She remembered: "By the way, the medicine this time was personally sent by the imperial doctor, saying that the Queen Mother knew that Miss was frightened in the palace change, so she sent a soothing soup, Miss, this is a soothing soup." ”

"Soothing soup?" Ling Xi looked at the medicine, but he was not at all calm.

[The Queen Mother is an absolute villain BOSS! ] 】

[She has always used me as a chess piece, how can she kindly give me a calming soup? 】

[Even if this medicine is not an immediate and lethal poison, it will definitely not strengthen the body!] 】

【……】

"Miss?" Hua Luo looked at the decoction suspiciously, and then looked at Ling Xi: "This medicine ......"

"Is the residue of this medicine still there?"

"In!"

"Give me the dregs!"

When Hua Luo brought the medicine residue, Ling Xi also changed into men's clothes.

With the medicine residue, she asked Hua Luo to deceive the janitor who opened the back door, quietly left Ling's house, hired a carriage, and came directly to Yuhu Village outside Xicheng.

By the small pond at the head of the village, a vacant lot was opened up, and a seven or eight-year-old child rolled up his sleeves to fetch water and water the medicine by the pond.

"Little Bean, is your mother at home?"

"Sister Ling," Xiaodouzi raised her head and pointed in the direction of her home with a smile: "Mother and father are talking." ”

"Your dad is back? He'll see how to hide from ......."

Ling Xi pushed open the fence door and shouted from afar.

"Hidden loyalty!"

shouted twice in a row, and Qianxian Zhong was disheveled, and ran out in a panic, looking embarrassed: "Ling, Miss Ling? ”

He quickly glanced inside the room and was embarrassed: "You, why are you here?" ”

"Are you done with everything in the palace? Are you going to go home and find your wife? ”

"I'm done, it was Your Majesty who said that I should come back and say hello to the child, I have to stay in the palace recently, and I can't come back often, I am taking the time to come back...... Miss, what's wrong? ”

"I'm not looking for you, I'm looking for your sister Yue," Ling Xi sat down in the courtyard and poured himself a cup of herbal tea.

Yueniang came out of the house, her cheeks were red, and she wanted to cover up a few clothes: "I'm packing up clothes for him...... Miss Ling, is there something wrong with me? ”

"Could you please help me see what this medicine is for."

Ling Xi opened the medicine residue.

Yueniang was born as a medical girl, and in the early years she served the concubines and concubines in the inner palace.

Later, after the marriage was given to Qian Xizhong, she gradually faded out of the identity of a medical woman.

During the years that she was under house arrest by the tyrant, she raised her son and planted some medicinal herbs, both to relieve boredom and to change some of herself.

Yueniang just casually pulled the medicine residue, her face became gloomy, she looked at Ling Xi thoughtfully, and stopped talking.

"What's wrong? Is this going to be a problem? ”

"Miss Ling, this medicine ...... It's from the palace, right? ”

"Is it so obvious?"

"This is the most commonly used chronic medicine in the palace to return the gods, and it will make people go crazy after taking it for a long time...... Yueniang paused and sighed: "In the palace, when the concubines compete for favor, or when they want to get rid of the opponent, they will replace the other party's daily soothing soup with the return of the spirit." ”

Don't look at the peace in the palace on the surface, the emperor and queen are loving, and the concubines are harmonious.

In fact, there are steps everywhere in it, life and death.

"Miss Ling, where did you come from?" Hidden Loyalty.

"The Queen Mother gives medicine!"

“……”

"Give it to me!"

Ling Xi thought of the medicine given by the Queen Mother before and understood everything.

"I just said, that old woman will be so kind, she cares about my body every time, it turns out ...... She's worried about whether I'm crazy! ”
