Chapter 25: Cold Soul Spirit
"Xiaoyun. Luo Li stretched out his hand to stop Lou Xiaoyun in a panic.
"Sister Luo Li, I have an elixir from the coast of the East China Sea that I can give to Miss Liu, it is very helpful for blood deficiency. ”
Luo Li took Lou Xiaoyun's hand and walked out, "The bloody gas inside is too heavy, you better not go in." I've already given her medicine, so let's let Dr. Zhang go in and have a look...... I have something to ask you, have you heard anything about this chrysanthemum in the past few days?"
Lou Xiaoyun nodded, leaned closer to Luo Li and whispered: "Xiaomei heard from the maid who stayed in the garden to serve today, and last night there was a faint sound of a woman's cry and a man's reprimand in the master bedroom. ”
"Your brother Xiao Mu is going to be busy this time, and there is a fire inside and outside the house......"
"Huh?" Lou Xiaoyun was puzzled.
Luo Li was about to explain, when he saw Qi Tongtong wearing a bright brocade suit striding towards this place.
Today's Muwang Mansion is really lively.
When Qi Yutong saw the two of them, he stopped and asked, "How are Liu Yuxi's people now?"
"If you go back to the Eleventh Prince, the person will be saved, but if the knot in your heart can't be untied, saving her will be in vain......" Luo Li asked again, "But how did the Eleventh Prince know?"
"This prince and the sixth brother in the Wangzhou Patrol Courtyard are looking at the file of the disappearance of the Kyushu girl, and the head is going to be big, this is not Li Zi sent someone to report that something happened in the house, and the sixth brother couldn't pull away, so he sent me to see. Qi Tongtong thought for a while, "Hey, no, why do you have to tell you about this prince's business! The matter of you beating this prince last time is not over!"
"Ah...... Eleventh Master, didn't the little girl apologize to you last time? ”
This prince is very stingy.
"Then I don't care, what about the painting you told me last time, why haven't I seen it yet?" Qi Yantong looked menacing.
"I ......"
Lou Xiaoyun couldn't stand it anymore, and said unevenly: "The prince is the prince of the dynasty, why bother with us civilian women?"
"Eh, Sister Xiaoyun, why do you turn your elbow out? Sixth brother is your brother-in-law, you are younger than this prince, then you are also the prince's sister-in-law!"
"Sister Luo, let's go, Xiaoyun is hungry, come with me to Meiyuan for dinner......" Saying that, she pulled Luo Li away, and glared back at Qi Yutong, "Brother Mu Xiao won't do what you have to do, I'll go back and tell Sister Pei to go!"
As soon as Qi Yantong heard Pei Ying, his mouth opened and he didn't hold back a word, and turned his head and went to Juyuan.
Since the beginning of this curfew, Luo Li has not seen Qi Muxiao return to his house, and none of the guards from the main to the lowest level of the Wangzhou Patrol House have been able to go home, either on the patrol road or resting in the patrol yard.
On June 19, when Qi Tongtong came to Lanyuan early in the morning to find Luo Li, she was learning hidden weapons from Pei Ying in the courtyard, since she had learned Pei Ying's power last time, she knew how to reason and move with affection for several days, pestering Pei Ying to teach her some simple hidden weapons to defend herself, Pei Ying couldn't resist him, so she had to take a little time to teach her every morning.
Qi Tongtong had just walked into the Orchid Garden with half a leg, and suddenly there was an "oops", only to see him covering his head and yelling, "Which one didn't have long eyes to hit me?"
Seeing this, Luo Li stuck out his tongue at Pei Ying, and then approached Qi Yutong with a concerned face, "Eleventh Prince, what's wrong with you, why are you doing so early?"
Qi Tongtong looked around, but he couldn't find where the stone flew from, so he could only cover his head and ask Pei Ying: "Did you hurt me?
"Back to the eleventh prince, the case must be judged by evidence, you have been by the master's side for so long, you don't even understand this, the master's mind is in vain. ”
"Gotcha, got, got, don't tell me this, this king has serious things to do, Miss Luo, the sixth brother asked me to pick up the scroll and send it to the Academy of Calligraphy and Painting. ”
"Then please ask the eleventh prince to go to the study with the little girl to wait for a while. Several people went to the study together, and as soon as Qi Yutong sat down, Yuan Qin's tea and snacks had already been served.
Luo Li took out a slender painting box and put it next to Qi Tongtong.
"Haven't you been clamoring for the little girl's paintings, there are four of them, you can choose one at random, it can be regarded as the little girl's compensation for you. Luo Li said with a smile.
"Okay, good ......" Qi Yantong said and immediately hugged the painting box like a baby, the picture scrolls sent to the Academy of Calligraphy and Painting are all treasures among the treasures, I didn't expect Luo Li to let him choose one of the four at random, and he can choose in front of his father, it's beautiful to think about.
He suddenly felt that his performance just now was a little frivolous, and said seriously: "The prince will laugh and accept it, if there is news of the calligraphy and painting academy, this king will come to you again and say goodbye." After saying that, he took the picture box and left without looking back.
As soon as Qi Tongtong left with his front foot, Yuan Qin came in.
"Xiao Li, Miss Liu asks to see. ”
"This early morning also makes it impossible for people to concentrate on martial arts......
"Master Pei is gone. ”
"When?"
"When the eleventh prince left just now, Master Pei also followed. ”
"Then let Miss Liu come in and change some soft herbal tea. ”
"Yes. ”
Liu Yuxi wore a yellow-green cloth dress, her face was still a little haggard after recovering from a serious illness, the gloom between her eyebrows did not dissipate, and she had lost a lot of weight. As soon as Liu Yuxi saw Luo Li, he knelt down, "Yuxi, thank you for Miss Luo's regeneration." ”
"Miss Liu, please get up quickly, this can't be helped. Luo Li hurriedly helped her up, "Sit down, I'll let Yuan Qin prepare some tea and snacks to see if it suits your taste." ”
After the two sat down, Liu Yuxi saw the warm flower tea on his side, smiled politely, picked up the tea with his right hand and took a sip, "Yuxi is a reborn person, and there is no wealth in his body, so he can only give this thing to the girl and repay the girl's life-saving grace." Liu Yuxi took out a palm-sized black thing from his arms and handed it to Luo Li.
Luo Li didn't refuse, took it, the tentacles of things warmed, it turned out to be a stone, half the size of a palm, the shape is no different from ordinary stones, careful observation found that this stone is translucent, close to a finger to faintly see the gold filaments surging in the stone, wisps of gold filaments like golden sand in the stone slowly flowing.
Liu Yuxi looked at Luo Li who was very interested in the stone, and said with a little sadness: "Miss Luo and I are destined, this secret treasure is something outside my body, and now I am the only one left in the family, I ...... I don't have the ability to protect it. ”
"Since it's a family heirloom, I can't accept it. Lori placed the stone on the table and pushed it over.
"Although this stone is a secret treasure, I can't find any other use for it other than its sleeping effect. My surname is Shangguan, my family is in decline, and I am the only one left after the descendants, lonely and scattered, and the secret art has been lost. Liu Yuxi laughed self-deprecatingly when she said this, and the pain in it made people worry about it, "This stone is called Cold Soul Jade, my mother said that it was something handed down from ancient times, this thing looks useless, but there are many people who covet it, the girl put away this stone, don't show it easily." My mother just let this stone bind her whole life, and she died for this stone......" said, Liu Yuxi's face slid down two tears.
Luo Li looked at this stone, her heart was a little entangled, she wanted this ancient secret treasure on the one hand, but on the other hand, she was worried about attracting death, she sighed lightly and asked instead: "By the way, how are you and Wu Zhen?"
As soon as she heard Wu Zhen's words, Liu Yuxi's tears kept falling like beads with broken threads, she bit her lip to prevent herself from crying, but her shoulders continued to tremble because of the huge forbearance.
What a miserable person.
"I heard the prince say that Wu Zhen was looking for you from Huaizhou to Wangzhou all the time after you were taken captive, this piece of infatuation, now that you are out of danger, you don't want to stay for the rest of your life, why do you want to commit suicide?"
Liu Yuxi took out a handkerchief to wipe away her tears, eased it a little, and whispered: "Now that Yuxi is an unclean body, he should have ended this life a long time ago, but Yuxi has a family mission and has to live for a long time, I never thought that I could have this moment of seeing the light of day......"
"Miss Liu, it wasn't your intention to be kidnapped by the gangsters...... Is it because of this matter that Wu Gongzi is embarrassing you?"
Liu Yuxi shook her head, the tears that had just stopped flowed again, and she replied with a little crying: "Wu Zhen treats me very well, knowing that I am dirty, and she has never disliked me...... After Wu Zhen took me back to the palace, he saw that I was always dizzy, so he asked the doctor to come and see......" Liu Yuxi suddenly burst into tears, unable to speak, covering his face and crying silently.
Seeing this, Luo Li felt uncomfortable, and walked over to pat her on the shoulder, but didn't know what to say.
Because she had never felt it herself, she didn't understand the pain of her skin, and she didn't know what words she could say to soothe the already broken heart of the woman in front of her.
After a long time, Liu Yuxi gradually regained his senses and said with difficulty: "They forced me to take a lot of child-avoiding medicine...... Dr. Zhang said...... Say...... I'm afraid I won't be able to have children......"
Luo Li was stunned.
In order to protect the family's secret treasure, Liu Yuxi could endure humiliation and bear the burden, and lived in the land of fireworks, but this unfortunate news broke the last line of defense in her heart, no wonder she had the idea of suicide.
"Miss Liu, but did Dr. Zhang come to see you?"
"Hmm. Liu Yuxi nodded.
"There was a gap between the doctor and the doctor before, and the doctor came to see me several times when I fainted, and each time he said that the pulse was stable and unhindered, and it was estimated that he was just a man in the rivers and lakes, defrauding these dignitaries of money. If you really want to talk about the rejuvenation of the magic hand, I know a person, but this person is now traveling all over the world, and it is not easy to find, and the blood coagulation pill that was given to you last time was refined by this person......
Liu Yuxi naturally knew that the pills and powders that Luo Li gave her that day were excellent medicines, so that she could recover and walk on the ground in just a few days.
Her eyes were instantly lit up with hope, and she suddenly got up and knelt in front of Luo Li again, "Yuxi is willing to repay Miss Luo by being a cow and a horse, but I want to see the side of the medicine fairy......"
"Miss Liu, hurry up, people may not be able to come, but it's still okay to ask for a prescription. Luo Li shook her hand and soothed.
This person was none other than her eccentric second senior brother Su Xian.
Luo Li will help her, one is to sympathize with Liu Yuxi's tragic fate, and the other is that she takes other people's hands short and accepts other people's family heirlooms, so she naturally wants to help Liu Yuxi.
Luo Li comforted her for a while, then asked Yuan Qin to send her back to Juyuan, sat on the Eight Immortals Chair and played with the stone for a while, then took a brocade cloth bag, put the stone in it, and hid it in the mezzanine of the painting box.
But before contacting Su Xian, she felt that there was still something to do, and to do this, she had to go to His Royal Highness King Mu, who had not been seen for several days.
