Chapter 46: Sister and Brother
When the guard was about to swing the second whip, he was stopped by a voice, "The queen mother's decree!" Don't stop yet! ”
Xiao Guanzi hurriedly knelt on the ground and rolled his eyes secretly, the matter was already troublesome enough, the queen came over to join in the fun, and besides, he looked guilty of Bai Hui, how could he think that he could turn over, I can't wait for Bai Huixian to be crippled.
The chief eunuch Qiu Gonggong, the leader of Queen He's side, stood at the entrance of the main hall, with an arrogant expression, and deliberately raised his voice, "The queen's mother, the punishment is suspended, and Gonggong Guan will not let people go." ”
The little peach and little pear who couldn't get up on the ground let out a cry of joy and sobbed with joy, and they were saved! Their legs were saved!
"Since it is the queen's will, it will naturally be released." Xiao Guanzi straightened his waist after getting up, his expression was humble, and his tone was distressed, "But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also ordered punishment, tell me what this is called." ”
He spread his hands, his face powerless and depressed.
Father-in-law Qiu's eyebrows were horizontal, and his chin was raised, "What's the matter, the matter between the two masters, just let Father-in-law Guan go, and leave the rest alone." ”
The corners of Xiao Guanzi's lips hooked into a smile, bent down slightly, and nodded, "Our family understands, let's let people go." ”
Xiao Guanzi is waiting for the words of Gonggong Qiu, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has nothing to do with himself.
He scolded again in his heart, the old and immortal Qiu Quan, relying on the chief eunuch beside Queen He, was old and senior, and always put on a posture of persuasion from his predecessors.
You have to think of ideas to make this old immortal suffer, otherwise he can't swallow this breath in his heart, Xiao Guanzi added a little smile to his face, and his eyes darkened, "It's hard work." ”
When Gonggong Qiu heard this, he pulled out a smile, and the skin and flesh on his face were wrinkled together, what about the chief eunuch beside His Royal Highness the Prince, and he had to bend down in front of him.
"Okay, let's go, you can take care of the rest."
Gonggong Qiu turned around and left, and the little eunuch beside him carefully supported him, "Godfather, be careful." ”
Xiao Guanzi called out with a look of regret, "Don't help Lord Bai and Mrs. Bai up, and send someone to find a few doctors." ”
The guards helped Bai Huixian and Xia Suling up, and Xia Suling had already fainted again, trembling all over.
Bai Huixian was stiff, Xiao Guanzi personally took a hand, supported him weakly, and his tone was guilty, "Look, our family can't help it, who can resist the decree, Lord Bai is not strange." ”
"Naturally not." Bai Huixian coughed a few times, and replied weakly, these eunuchs are like this.
…………
Two days passed, and it snowed again, and the white snow piled up on the weak branches, and with a click, the branches broke, and the snow fell to the ground, and was trampled on again, and became dirty, and it was no longer as pure as it had been.
Xiaohu stepped through the snow and took the wooden basket in the hands of an old woman, which was padded with insulated fabric, put the food, and covered it with a layer of cloth on top.
The old woman was warm-hearted, patted Xiaohu's hand, frowned slightly, and said in a worried tone, "Poor one, has your sister's illness improved?" ”
Xiaohu was a little cold by the wind, shrunk his neck slightly, his delicate face was flushed by the wind, and he said according to the words given by He Yue, "It's not good, I'll take my sister to the city to find a doctor in a few days." ”
The two lived in the same house, so they claimed to be sisters and brothers, and they came to Yuncheng to find a doctor with excellent medical skills, and rented a house in this remote Mo Village to save silver taels.
Everything is reasonable, He Yue thought that his feet were injured anyway, and he couldn't get out of the house for the time being, so he simply called himself sick.
The old woman sighed and shook her head, "Hard-working people." ”
"Auntie, it's windy outside, go back quickly." Xiaohu's voice was a little dull.
"Hey." The old woman thought that she had poked Xiaohu's sadness, and she was stunned for a while, so she turned around and went home.
Xiaohu carried the wooden basket and walked towards the rented house step by step.
In winter, there are also a large number of wild animals looking for food, so Xiaohu found some wood and put a fence around the outside of the house.
He opened the door of the house, closed it again to prevent the wind from entering, put the wooden basket on the table with a few cracks, burned the charcoal in the brazier, and kicked it under the table.
"Madam, the food is back, it's ready to eat." Little Tiger's voice was excited.
The curtain used as a block was lifted, and He Yue walked out of it, a little limping, wearing a plain blue coarse cloth dress, adding a warm thick jacket, and her hair was simply fixed with a wooden hairpin.
It is still a beautiful thing.
She sat on the chair in front of the table, felt the heat coming from the soles of her feet, and sighed comfortably, her tone slightly exaggerated, "The bones are all softened." ”
Xiaohu also brought obvious joy, took the food out of the basket, put it on the table, one meat and one vegetable, plus two large bowls of rice, which were bought from the eldest lady with silver money, the price was very fair, probably with a little pity.
He Yue beckoned Xiaohu to sit down, holding a rice bowl and chopsticks in his hand, "Xiaohu eats quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold." ”
The eldest lady fried some home-cooked dishes, He Yue felt that it was a little like what Li Xiaoshu once did, in short, she liked it very much.
After eating, Xiaohu's face became sad again, and he put his hand on the table and pinched the chopsticks, "Madam, the guards at the city gate have been strengthened again." ”
He looked up at He Yue's gradually melancholy face, and said softly, "I heard that recently, there have been officers and soldiers looking for people from village to village, and they will soon arrive in Mo Village. ”
In fact, Xiaohu now knows very well that He Yue's husband is not a petty official, how can there be such a terrifying battle when looking for someone, he can't wait to lift over the land inch by inch, and even the guards at the city gate can be mobilized, so how big an official position can have such power.
Xiaohu looked down at the bowl with a gap, the force of the chopsticks was a little strong, and the fingers were a little painful.
He was wondering, why He Yue didn't want to be found, and would rather live a life of escape and hardship, was it because her husband treated her badly? He Yue was carrying nearly 10,000 taels of silver tickets, obviously ready to escape at any time, and it was just a coincidence that he was robbed.
The room was silent, He Yue's eyes were cold, he pursed his lips, and finally decided, "Wait for the evening, let's hurry up by the night, we can't stay here." ”
She had an intuition in her heart, Ning Rusong had circled the range she was in, just waiting for the circle to be tightened inch by inch, and if she didn't leave, it was only a matter of time before she was found.
She muttered in her heart, the dog man who did evil.
