Chapter 32: Twists and Turns (1)
Zhongli understood that now was not the time for her to be sentimental, and what she had to do now was how to deal with this tricky matter and not cause more panic, so she immediately made a decision, "Du Juan, you and An Ran immediately go to Mr. Baili's side, tell him that something has happened, and go to King Ling's Mansion immediately." I'll go to my father's courtyard first to see how the situation is, and the housekeeper must have gone to ask the doctor to enter the house. ”
Before the words fell, Zhong Li ran to Zhong Zihong first. Along the way, everyone retreated to the side to salute her, she didn't care too much, and only said that they were exempt from courtesy along the way, until she came to Zhong Zihong's courtyard gate, she paused and adjusted slightly before walking in.
"Two generals, how is my father's condition, what happened?" Zhong Li immediately asked when he saw that the left and right lieutenant generals were there.
"Why is Miss Yan here? The strange poison in your body has not yet healed, and you don't have a maid with you, if you have another good one, won't the Zhong Mansion be even more chaotic. The right deputy general, Gu Ming, said worriedly, his brows tightened and he looked worried.
Zhong Li walked in front of Zhong Zihong, only to see that his eyes were closed, his face was pale and looked very serious, "Thank you to the right deputy general, I am already fine." This morning, my father went out of the house to inspect the pioneer camp with the prince of Lingwang, this was originally a standing office, how could it be like this?"
"Miss, don't you know, everything was safe and sound in the pioneer camp, but a group of black-clothed people suddenly appeared on the way home, everyone was defenseless, and they were ambushed and killed dozens of people all the way, and then they rushed out. The prince also suffered a lot of injuries, and has been escorted back to the house by his guards, we were silent along the way, and found two carriages to enter the capital one after the other, and entered the palace from the side gate. Gu Ming gave a general explanation of the ins and outs of the matter, and his worried expression became even heavier.
Zhao Feihu, the left deputy general who bandaged Zhong Zihong on the side, treated his wound neatly, and then turned to Zhong Li and said, "How does Miss know that the general is injured?"
Gu Ming glared at him slightly, and said in a muffled voice, "Feihu, aren't you questioning Miss Yan's suspicion of 'killing her father' and 'assassinating the imperial family' by asking like this." This incident happened suddenly, not only the general was injured, but the prince of Ling Wang was also seriously injured. ”
"I didn't mean that, I was just curious, and few people in the house knew about it. Miss Yan suddenly came over to ask, and she just wanted to ask. Besides, I, Zhao Feihu, don't have such brainlessness, and let Miss Yan get into trouble for no reason!" Zhao Feihu said with a little grievance in his heart, his voice a little louder. As soon as the words fell, he immediately realized the problem, and immediately shut up, smiling awkwardly.
Zhong Li didn't have any dissatisfaction on his face, he just looked at them lightly, "Vice General Zhao has some doubts, Vice General Gu shouldn't be annoyed with him, I want to ask, can you pass near Xinxue Courtyard?"
"It did pass by Xinxueyuan. The two of them said in unison, looking at Zhong Li in surprise, full of doubts.
Zhong Li lightly hooked the corners of her mouth, and their puzzled expressions were in her eyes, "Coincidentally, I was in the courtyard at that time, and the air should be fresh when the rain stopped, but Fang Cai smelled a faint bloody smell, and he couldn't help but worry in his heart, so he wanted to find out." I didn't think about stepping out of the yard, and the cuckoo next to me rushed in......" She said unhurriedly, answering their doubts, and she added, "The cuckoo originally gave eight treasure soup to my father, but I didn't want to bump into it." ”
I see, no wonder my subordinates felt that the girl was familiar, and specially reminded her that this matter was silent. I never thought that she was Miss Yan's personal girl. Zhao Feihu listened to what Zhong Li said, smiled, scratched the back of his head, and said embarrassedly.
"Dare to ask the two deputy generals, how is the situation of my father? I see that my father's face is pale, is there something wrong?" Zhong Li observed Zhong Zihong's face again and asked softly.
"Miss rest assured, the poison in General Zhong is not a vicious poison, it is some paralyzing grass and a slight intestinal grass poison, which has forced out the poisonous blood, and it is good to ask the doctor to prescribe a few pairs of medicine later. Zhao Feihu comforted Zhong Li and downplayed the matter.
Zhong Li listened quietly, nodded slightly, she knew very well in her heart that this must have been told to her by Zhao Feihu in order to comfort her, she didn't break through the trick, she only said that she would be at ease, let them stay here, she gathered all the people in the house first, and mentioned them a little, without mentioning Zhong Zihong's injury.
"Why is Mr. Baili here?" Gu Ming saw Baili Xuan coming in with a medicine box on his back, asked in a low voice and took him to Zhong Zihong's side, and stepped aside to let Baili Xuan check his pulse.
Baili Xuan took half a cup of tea before stopping, and his face was not very good. I saw that he went from the medicine box, the silver needle pierced Zhong Zihong's finger, took some blood and examined it carefully, the originally frowning brows stretched, and he was busy for a while before putting away all the utensils, and exhaled a mouthful of turbidity.
"You go quietly and catch these herbs separately, I'm afraid you can't hide the matter of boiling the medicine, let her boil it in her own courtyard! Bai Li Xuan handed over the prescribed medicine list to the two of them, and gave some serious instructions before quietly leaving the Zhong Mansion and going to the Ling Wang's Mansion.
Half an hour later, Zhong Li got the medicine prescribed by Baili Xuan, and carefully boiled the medicine according to the method he said, and the people had long been accustomed to the fragrance of medicine coming from Xinxue Courtyard, and they didn't care about what happened in the mansion.
A month later, Zhong Zihong's injury is no longer serious, but the wound has not healed and needs to be well recuperated. King Ling's Mansion has undergone earth-shaking changes, King Ling suffered some wind cold in winter, and he would have gotten better with a little conditioning, but it backfired, his situation was getting worse and worse, and now he can't get out of bed.
"Miss, don't you think that what happened recently is coming to Xinxue Courtyard back and forth?" Du Juan changed into a plain dress for Zhong Li, and said as he straightened his dress.
An Ran took a light fur painted with dark patterns and ink bamboo, carefully tied the ribbon for her, and said with an angry face, "Now that the master has not recovered, the Fuyuan Courtyard is getting more and more fierce, and he actually said that the young lady deliberately put them under house arrest, and even poisoned them to kill them, so that the master could invite the master." The teacher reprimanded them a few times, and they actually began to curse, which was very ugly......"
"Enron, don't say it. When Du Juan heard An Ran say this, he immediately interrupted her, for fear of making his own young lady sad and thinking of the past. He was relieved, "It's not been a day or two since they've been like this." We don't need to be angry with their unworthy people, no matter how much trouble we make, we can only be in the Fuyuan Courtyard, and if there is a teaching grandmother, we will definitely not let them continue to mess around. ”
Zhong Li only smiled slightly when she heard this, "You two sang together, saying that you don't make me sad because of the past, but in fact, you just want to see what I will do with them." As he spoke, he nodded the foreheads of the two of them separately, looked through the bronze mirror, and saw that there was nothing wrong, and turned around and walked out of the bedroom.
Although it is only winter, I didn't expect the weather to be surprisingly cold, and if the temperature is like this, there will be a dragon in the house. She raised her hand and sighed, rubbed her hands tightly, and walked out of Xinxue Courtyard, the two girls behind her looked at each other, and followed without saying anything.
It wasn't until they came to the vicinity of the Hibiscus Courtyard that An Ran's face showed a curious look, "Miss, are you going to the Fuyuan Courtyard?"
"You understand!" Zhong Li stopped and smiled mysteriously, which made An Ran slam into a thrill. Although she has not been with Zhong Li for a long time, every time she shows such a smile, something is bound to happen, and the person who commits it in her hands must not be good. Before she could come back to her senses, she heard Zhong Li instruct, "You two go to the kitchen and send those drinks and dishes to the house where Mama Jiaoyin lives now." ”
When Du Juan and An Ran heard Zhong Li say this, they immediately set off to the kitchen. But Zhong Li was not in a hurry, admiring the cold plums and pines and cypresses in the nearby yard. And her thoughts have already flown into the nine heavens, in her previous life, she was preparing to enter the palace for a banquet at the moment, Zhong Qinghe also deliberately sent a set of gorgeous palace clothes to her, and did everything for her, on the day of the palace banquet, because the palace dress was the same as the clothes of the concubine who was promoted to Ru Guifei, she almost lost her life, but fortunately, she found it in time, she made some temporary adjustments, and escaped a catastrophe. Afterwards, Lin Yue and Qinghe explained this matter to her in every possible way......
"Miss! The cuckoo walked up to Zhong Li and whispered to her.
Hearing Du Juan's words, she came back to her senses, saw the two of them carrying food boxes in their hands, and led them to the residence of the grandmother without saying a word.
"Mama has worked hard, are you still used to living here these days?" Zhong Li motioned to Du Juan and An Ran to put the wine and food on the table, bowed slightly to Mama, and asked Mama with a serious face with a sweet smile.
Teach Mama to see that Zhong Li is well-mannered, and there is a smile on her face, "Miss, this is unacceptable, I am just a slave in the ancestral hall, how can you bow with me if you are the master." She couldn't help it, but there was no meaning between the words, and after letting Zhong Li sit down, she also did it generously, and continued, "The old woman lives in the ancestral hall all the year round, and now she lives here without any habits, just a place to live." ”
"Mama just get used to it. I look at the weather is so cold in winter, Mama here seems to lack nothing, but it is inevitable that there is a shortage, it is about to have lunch, these days I heard that Mama is very hard, so I prepared this little wine dishes, Mama don't dislike it. Now, although I am temporarily in charge of the affairs of the house, but after all, I am still young, and there are always some inconsiderate, and I hope that my grandmother can give me more advice. Zhong Li's eyes were smiling, and he didn't take Mama's attitude to heart at all, and complimented Mama softly.
