Chapter 55: Hope

Early the next morning, Lin Zhiyu heard someone knocking on his door.

"Where's Mama Xu?"

She pushed open the door, but in front of her was a strange little palace maid, carrying a food box in her hand.

"Mama Xu went out to run errands yesterday, and she hasn't come back yet." The little palace maid handed over the food box in her hand to Lin Zhiyu's hand, with a businesslike attitude.

Running errands?

In this wilderness, I'm afraid she will never come back.

Lin Zhiyu frowned slightly, but she didn't expect that she still underestimated Jiang Tongmiao's ruthlessness, and she seemed to have indirectly contributed to Mama Xu's death, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

was about to close the door, but saw Liu Er hurrying this way.

Lin Zhiyu was about to ask, but Liu Er knelt in front of her with a "plop".

"Big girl, please, save Xiu Yuan's mother!" Liu Er's eyes were red and swollen, as if she had just cried not long ago, "Yesterday Niangniang was fine, she was quite interested, and she even ate an extra bowl for dinner, but when she got up this morning, the whole person began to have a fever again!" ”

"But what kind of hair growth food did you eat? Has the Imperial Doctor come to see it? ”

Liu Er shook her head: "The imperial doctor just left, saying that the mother has returned to heaven and has no skills!" ”

Lin Zhiyu called into the house, and handed the food box in his hand to Qiaoxiu: "I'll take a look." ”

When Qiaoxiu saw that it was Liu Er, her eyes showed a little worry, pulled Lin Zhiyu aside, and said in a low voice: "Miss, do you want me to come along?" ”

I still don't know what role Liu Er played on the day of Lin Xiaolian's accident, if it was Lin Zhiyu who went to deliver the food box that day, how should she explain to the prince?

"You'd better stay and watch Xiaolian." Lin Zhiyu shook his head, "No matter what, she won't use Xu Jiu'er to harm me." ”

In the previous life, when Xu Jiu'er died of illness, Liu Er also committed suicide.

Liu Er, who was kneeling on the ground, saw Qiaoxiu's worry, and the whole person was about to lie on the ground, her body trembled slightly, and she sobbed: "The slave knows that yesterday's lie can't hide from the big girl, but all this is for the sake of Xiu Yuan Niangniang, and the slave and the slave don't know that such a thing will happen." ”

Lin Zhiyu and Qiaoxiu glanced at each other.

"As long as the eldest girl is willing to save her mother, how to punish Liu'er, follow the eldest girl's wishes!"

Although Lin Zhiyu couldn't see the expression on Liu Er's face, seeing her sincere appearance, it didn't look like she was lying, so she said: "Let's go over and see how Xu Xiuyuan is doing, and as for yesterday's incident, I'll talk about it later." ”

Qiaoxiu pulled Liu Er up from the ground, and the warning in her eyes was clear.

Liu Er lowered her head, not daring to look directly into Qiaoxiu's eyes.

When he came to Xu Jiu'er's room, Lin Zhiyu keenly noticed that the smell of medicine in the room was a little different from what he smelled the day before yesterday.

Xu Jiu'er was lying on the bed, her face flushed, and she was already a little delirious.

The weather was hot, and the wound on her leg was already suppurating, and yellow-black blood slowly seeped out of the gauze.

The imperial doctor was hurriedly administering needles to Xu Jiu'er on the side, and fine beads of sweat continued to bubble out on his forehead.

"For some reason, the residual poison in Xiu Yuan Niangniang's body suddenly became intense, and she could only think of slowing down the speed of blood flow." The Imperial Doctor's face showed a look of regret.

Lin Zhiyu asked, "Has Xiu Yuan Niangniang's prescription been changed recently?" ”

The Imperial Physician shook his head and said, "No." ”

Liu Er on the side heard their conversation, her face suddenly turned pale, as if she had been drained of her strength, and collapsed on the ground.

"It's me, it's me who hurt my mother......"

She told me everything that happened that night.

"As soon as I cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, I saw a piece of paper pressed on the table, which said that there was a recipe that could bring the mother back to life, as long as I said a word when I saw Lin Xiaolian, the other party would give me the recipe."

"Fangzi again?" Lin Zhiyu was even more determined in the guess in his heart, "What did she ask you to say to Lin Xiaolian?" ”

"It seems to be something like 'turn right when you go out', at that time, Xiaolian seemed to be very tired, and she didn't ask much, after I returned the food box to her, she went to the right."

To the right, it is the wing room that was bumped into by Mama Xu.

It stands to reason that Zhang Qing shouldn't have appeared over there, everything was premeditated.

"After everything was done, the recipe appeared on the table, I didn't think much about it, I looked at it and felt similar to the original prescription, so I asked people to change the herbs and boil a new bowl for Niangniang."

Liu Er took out the prescription from her sleeve and handed it to the imperial doctor.

The imperial doctor was very angry at Liu Er's private change of prescription, and blew his beard and glared: "You didn't come to ask about this life-threatening matter, and you just used it for Niangniang?" O iniquity! ”

"I'm also anxious and hot-headed, I really don't think about it so much!"

Liu Er covered her face, tears flowing down her fingers.

Seeing this, the imperial doctor couldn't say some more blameful words, so he had to read the recipe carefully: "The medicinal materials listed above are almost the same, but the dosage is very different, which caused Xiu Yuan Niangniang's symptoms to worsen." ”

"Liu'er, do you still have that piece of paper?"

"Huh? What paper? Liu Er stayed for a while before she reacted, "It said that you have to burn it after reading it, otherwise you won't give me a prescription." ”

Lin Zhiyu held his forehead, very tired.

The imperial doctor also sighed: "If you can survive three days, the holy hand beside King Jin probably has a way to remove the residual poison from Xiuyuan Niangniang's body, but it's a pity." ”

"What do you mean, is it that the mother can't last three days?" Liu Er's eyes widened, and she grabbed the corner of the imperial doctor's clothes.

But Lin Zhiyu muttered, "Holy Hand? Ji Yanshi? ”

"The big girl knows him?" The Imperial Doctor's eyes were full of shock.

"We've met in a hurry before."

The imperial doctors in the palace are all selected by thousands of people, and they also have some arrogance on their bodies, but they didn't expect that such a young man could make the imperial doctors in the palace call them "holy hands".

The imperial doctor said: "If you let him come, maybe you haven't reached the point where you can't return to heaven." ”

Liu Er felt as if she had seen hope again, and then begged Lin Zhiyu bitterly: "Big girl, big girl, you are the third princess, there must be a way to invite him, right?" ”

It's not easy to get around, and no matter how fast it is, it's impossible to get there today.

Lin Zhiyu was also in trouble for a while, but seeing Liu Er like this, he had to help her up first, and said, "I will try my best to find a way, you can relax for the time being." ”

Only then did Liu Er go in to take care of Xu Jiu'er.

Lin Zhiyu returned to his room, and Qiaoxiu hurriedly greeted him, and after confirming that everything was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief.

In just three days, so many things have happened, and she is really a little afraid.

"What about Lin Xiaolian?"

"She's been drugged, she's calmed down a bit, and she's asleep now." Qiaoxiu sighed.

"Do you have a way to communicate with the prince?" Despite the slim hope, Lin Zhiyu still wanted to give it a try.

Qiaoxiu nodded, and instead blew a long whistle into the sky.

"Flutteringβ€”"

A carrier pigeon flapped its wings and landed firmly on Qiaoxiu's hand.

"This is a carrier pigeon specially trained for communication in the palace, and each secret guard has one, which is convenient for the transmission and exchange of information." Qiaoxiu explained.

Lin Zhiyu took a pen and paper, and after briefly writing down the demands and experiences, he rolled the note into strips and tied it to the feet of the carrier pigeon.

The pigeon flapped its wings and tilted its head to look at Lin Zhiyu.

Han Han's stupid appearance reminded Lin Zhiyu of the pigeon he caught when he met Chu Nian that night.

Thinking of Chu Nian's reaction when he mentioned Zhou Zijin, Lin Zhiyu unconsciously linked them together.

Could it be that Chu Nian is also a secret guard trained by Zhou Zijin's side?
