The Sickly Scion’s Petite Wife Is Sweet And Cool

   Chapter 445 Fire, choice (two more)

   After learning from the Queen Mother Wei that the emperor was awake and that the order to not see everyone was indeed from him, Shangguan Heng directly regarded her as an accomplice of Shangguanpu.

   Compared with the grandmother who has just met a few times, he obviously trusts his second brother's judgment more.

   Empress Dowager Wei had just left with her forefoot, when he shouted that he wanted to enter the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

   As a result, King Jing, who came over to get the news, gave him a reprimand as his elder brother, and ordered him not to approach the Hall of Mental Cultivation for half a step without his consent.

   "Second brother, even the emperor's grandmother is on the side of the first emperor, what should I do now?" Shangguan Heng scratched his head irritably.

   Empress Dowager Wei's simple words were equivalent to protecting Shangguanpu. The rumors that the emperor was imprisoned will soon be suppressed.

  Shangguan Yu lightly scrubbed the corners of his sleeves with his fingers, pursed his lips and said, "Don't you want to see Concubine Shu again? Go ahead."

   "Second brother, why don't you go with me?" Shangguan Heng asked.

  Shangguan Yu shook his head: "No, I have to leave the palace early."

  …

   Back at Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Wei asked Mo Yuan about the emperor's condition again, and got the same answer as before.

   She used to have a paralyzed face, and even the Queen Mother Wei, who thought her eyes were vicious, couldn't tell on her face whether it was true or false.

   Having lunch at Cining Palace, seeing that Empress Wei was tired, Mrs. Qiu took the opportunity to bid her farewell.

   The pills she took recently were all made from well water with spiritual liquid added. Her health was much better than before, but she couldn't compare to ordinary people.

   Empress Dowager Wei was afraid that she would catch a cold, so she ordered someone to prepare the sedan chair, and then ordered someone to pack a box of snacks for Shen Yijia.

   "Aijia remembers that Song Daniu likes this jade cake the most, and his descendants will also like it. You can bring it back to your family to taste."

   This sentence is actually baseless. How can anyone like it, but the whole family likes it?

  Especially when the Queen Mother left Qianwei to look at herself, Shen Yijia always felt a bit meaningful.

  The sedan chair stopped at the gate of the palace, Shen Yijia helped Mrs. Qiu down, and saw a familiar carriage parked on the palace road, two men with the same temperament stood there talking about something.

   Hearing the movement here, the two turned their heads at the same time.

   Shen Yijia's eyes lit up, not to mention, it's strangely seductive.

   "Mrs. Qiu." The two stepped forward to greet Mrs. Qiu.

   "His Royal Highness King Xian, Uncle Loyalty." Mrs. Qiu was blessed, and others gave her wife face, but she couldn't understand the sense of proportion.

  The two met and greeted each other, Shen Yijia resisted the urge to jump on Song Jingchen and helped Mrs. Qiu get on the carriage first.

   After she was gone, he took a few steps forward to hold Song Jingchen's hand, tilted his head and asked, "Master, are you here to pick me up?"

  Song Jingchen reached out and rubbed her head without denying it.

   "Since my younger brother and sister are here, I'll leave first." Shangguan Yu said.

  Song Jingchen said away: "His Royal Highness King Xian walk slowly."

  Shangguan Yu paused and shook his head with a wry smile, but in the end he didn't say anything and got into his carriage and left.

   "Why is he here?" Shen Yijia pouted and asked.

   "I just happened to meet." Song Jingchen helped her onto the carriage. The ice mirror that used to hold the ice cubes was now replaced with charcoal, and a steady stream of heat radiated from there. The inside and outside of the car were completely two worlds.

   poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to her, Song Jingchen asked, "Have you seen the emperor?"

   After taking a sip of tea, Shen Yijia felt her whole body warm up, she paused when she heard the words: "How do you know?"

   After asking, thinking of Shangguan Yu who was just now, Shen Yijia just thought it was him who said it.

   He put down the teacup and explained what happened in the palace one by one, and then called Mo Yuan into the carriage to ask the emperor's cause.

"He was given medicine, and his symptoms were the same as those of a stroke." Mo Yuan paused and continued, "The servant found that there seems to be another chronic medicine in his body, which is not fatal, but it is addictive. "

  All things are mutually reinforcing, and it is a poison that naturally has its antidote, but the latter is different. It is not a poison, but it can destroy a person's will when a drug addiction occurs.

   It can be refreshing at the beginning of taking it, but over time, it will make people irritable and irritable, until they become a complete lunatic.

   Therefore, the emperor is now not only tortured by the poison of Shangguanpu, but also eroded by another drug addiction.

   can be said to be miserable!

  Song Jingchen remembered that when he first entered the palace, Eunuch Li said that Ji Yunxi was practicing pills for the emperor.

   "Can you make the same poison?" Song Jingchen asked.

   Mo Yuan nodded, hesitated, and said, "The servant suspects that the poison he was poisoned also came from my master's family."

   Like the heart-devouring poison in the abducted woman, it is a rare poison in the poison scriptures that the master once showed her.

   In order to distinguish the former lady from Shen Yijia, she now mentions that the former lady is the master.

   Shen Yijia guessed: "Could it be that the real son of Heaven selected by Tianji Valley is Shangguanpu?"

  The two medicines from Shangguanpu came from there, so it couldn't be a coincidence.

  Song Jingchen shook his head: "It's also possible that Shangguanpu was used."

   Back home, Mo Yuan got Song Jingchen's instructions to go back to the pharmacy to make medicine. Shen Yijia put the food box given by the Queen Mother on the table and opened it and asked, "This is from the Queen Mother. Did grandfather like to eat this cake before?"

  Song Jingchen stretched out his hand and picked up a piece and took a bite. The jade cake was milky white, as the name suggests, as clean as fat jade.

   Shen Yijia saw that he had finished eating one piece and reached for the second piece, and asked incredulously, "Do you like to eat too?"

   "It's pure and innocent, who doesn't like it?" Song Jingchen chuckled and shoved the cake into Shen Yijia's mouth.

  Shen Yijia's mouth was stuffed up, and she stared at round eyes for a long time before swallowing the cake, and asked suspiciously, "What does the queen mother mean? Will she help us?"

   The Song family was splashed with such a pot of dirty water, how could there be any innocence?

   If you want to be innocent, don’t you have to reverse the case?

   Oh, maybe it's also reminding them not to do things that humiliate themselves?

  Song Jingchen was amused by her appearance, and couldn't help but slapped her on the head again: "It takes about ten days to travel from the imperial mausoleum to the capital. Why do you think the queen mother can enter the capital in such a timely manner?"

  Shen Yijia blinked, yes. It's only been ten days since the emperor's accident, she can't possibly have the ability to predict, so she knows in advance that the emperor will have an accident.

   King King's Mansion.

   Shangguanpu was also discussing this matter with his staff. He asked someone to check the time when the Empress Dowager departed from the imperial mausoleum. It turned out to be the day he attacked the emperor.

   In other words, the queen mother received the news before he shot?

   Is this possible?

   Even if he himself, he made a temporary decision because he got the news.

  Shangguanpu suddenly thought of the person who sent him news and asked him for 100,000 taels of gold.

   He originally wanted to find out who was behind it while he was giving money.

  I didn't want the other party to be too vigilant, but Yinzi gave it, but left no clue.

   Could it be that the Queen Mother also did it when she returned to Beijing?

   Thinking of having such an eye staring at him all the time, and not knowing whether it is an enemy or a friend, Shangguanpu became so irritable.

  If it wasn't like this, how could he not act these days, isn't he worried that he will fall into someone else's trap once he starts?

  's staff said: "The Queen Mother's words today can be regarded as helping us."

   Shangguanpu agreed with this, he sneered: "Thanks to the medicine given by the pharmacist."

   "I thought that the girl next to Song Shen's was so powerful, but it doesn't seem to be much."

   The aide frowned, always feeling that things were not that simple, and after thinking about it, he still said, "It's a bit of extra time, I think Your Highness should act sooner rather than later."

  Shangguanpu looked at the man suddenly, and after a long time said, "What you said, sir, is very agreeable to me."

  Because he was looking forward to the future, he had already dragged the queen mother back to the palace. If this goes on, who knows what will happen?

  The two discussed the next plan for nearly half an hour before they came out of the study.

   Back in the backyard, what came to his mind, Shangguanpu asked the inner supervisor: "She hasn't recruited yet?"

  The inner prison lowered his head and said respectfully: "No, that maid committed suicide while others were unprepared. The concubine's room is pregnant again, and they did not dare to execute the punishment for fear of hurting the fetus in her womb."

   "It's just a child, if it's gone, it's gone." Shangguanpu smiled grimly: "I don't have to be hesitant to explain it. If you don't want to say it, let her try Mingxiangju's methods."

"Yes."

   The bright moon was in the sky, a carrier pigeon flapped its wings and landed in a courtyard of General Xiao's mansion.

   After a quarter of an hour, a thick fire broke out in the backyard of the General's Mansion.

   The weather was already dry, and the fire was like a giant dragon, engulfing several yards at the same time.

   The servants and guards on duty at night exploded in an instant.

   "The water is gone, the backyard is gone..."

   "Quick, put out the fire..."

  …

  Because Feng Manman was poisoned, he hurt his body after detoxification, and the whole person became extraordinarily insecure.

   Xiao Qirui had to accompany her at the mansion for a few days under her all kinds of pleas.

   He finally escaped and returned to the barracks today. There were too many official duties before. He originally planned to rest there, but for some reason, he always felt uneasy.

   He simply rushed back overnight, not wanting to see such a scene as soon as he stepped into the house.

  The fire was soaring into the sky, and the red light was continuous. Everyone took the container and ran to the backyard. A louder shout made people dizzy.

   "Master, it seems to be in the direction of the young lady's courtyard..." Xiao Li said blankly.

   Before he finished speaking, the person in front had already rushed out.

   Xiao Li was startled, and hurriedly followed.

   Xiao Qirui ran towards Jinxiuyuan with red eyes, not sure whether he was lit by the fire or in a hurry.

  Suddenly, a maid with disheveled hair rushed up and hugged his leg.

  This place is facing the Jinxiu Courtyard. Through the courtyard gate, the sky-high flames come into view.

   Xiao Qirui was so anxious that he raised his legs to get rid of the person under his feet, but he didn't want that maid to hug her tightly but not let go.

  Xiao Qirui quickly pulled out the sword from his waist, and roared with tears in his eyes, "Get out of the way."

Lu Liu shrank his neck, thought of something, closed his eyes and mourned, "Young master, eldest young master, you are back, go to the Magnolia Courtyard to rescue my aunt, my aunt is still inside and hasn't come out... "

  A strand of hair fell, and the icy blade almost stopped against her skin.

   "What did you say?" Xiao Qirui turned to look in the direction of the Magnolia Courtyard, only to find that there was also a huge fire there.

  Lu Liu heaved a sigh of relief, crawled over and hugged Xiao Qirui's leg, knelt up and continued to cry: "Yu... Yulan Court has also gone, but everyone went to Jinxiu Court to put out the fire."

  Jinxiuyuan is the main courtyard, and there are serious young ladies living in it, so the servants will naturally go there to save people first.

   In fact, it is not that no one goes to other courtyards, but there are relatively fewer.

  Xiao Qirui looked at Jinxiuyuan again, where You Bai was anxiously instructing everyone to draw water from the pond to put out fires. Seeing her appearance, Yuan Yuwan obviously hadn't come out yet.

   He closed his eyes and stretched out his hand to open the green willow...

   "Master, Master, I beg you, for the sake of my aunt who once protected you with her life, save her..."

   Xiao Qirui stopped.

   Xiao Li chased after him, and when he saw the green willow, he frowned and reminded: "Master, let's go and save the young lady."

   This is an excellent opportunity to capture the hearts of beauty, young master, you can't be foolish.

   At first, he really didn't understand who his young master liked.

   Until both women entered the house.

   Every time I go to Jinxiuyuan, the young master who never cares about his appearance even has to change into several sets of clothes, and he takes a big step on the road and wishes to fly over.

   Comparing with the young master who often goes into the Magnolia Courtyard in a stinky sweat, if he still can't understand his thoughts, then his personal attendant should remove the word personal.

  Lu Liu was anxious: "Master, my aunt is also a living life, and she is for you..."

   "Master, Young Madam she..."

   "Enough." Xiao Qirui closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, it was calm. He looked at Xiao Li: "Go to Jinxiuyuan first, and you must rescue the young lady."

   "Master..." Xiao Li wanted to persuade him again, but Xiao Qirui had already turned around and went to the Magnolia Courtyard.

   Grinding his teeth in anger, he pulled his legs and ran into the Jinxiu Courtyard, where he met a pair of red and swollen eyes from crying.

  Youbai glared at him angrily, grabbed the basin in the hand of a person beside him, and ran to the pool to fetch water.

   She saw it just now, but the uncle didn't go through the door, but went to the Magnolia Garden instead!

Miss    is right, you shouldn't expect others!

  She was wrong, she was so wrong!

   Magnolia Courtyard is a small yard, pouring bucket after bucket of water, the fire gradually became smaller, but the people in the room remained silent.

   "Auntie, are you in there?" Lu Liu followed Xiao Qirui into the yard, and hurriedly shouted upon seeing this.

   "Ah~"

   Feng Manman's exclamation came from inside.

   Determined where the person was, Xiao Qirui grabbed a bucket of water and slammed it towards the burning door.

  The door collapsed suddenly, and Feng Manman was huddled under the table with his head in his arms.

   The loud noise made her tremble and raised her head, and across the sea of ​​fire, she looked at Xiao Qirui with tears in her eyes.

   "Brother Xiao..." she murmured.

   Xiao Qirui avoided the flames and rushed in, picked up the only intact table and raised it above his head and asked, "Can you get up by yourself?"

   "I... my legs are weak." Feng Manman trembled.

   Xiao Qirui had to give up the idea of ​​using the table as a shield, and threw the table away and picked him up.

   From time to time, burning wood fell from the top of his head, so Xiao Qirui walked extremely hard and was almost hit several times.

   "Ah, be careful..." Feng Manman exclaimed and wrapped his hands around his back.

   Xiao Qirui frowned, turned around and kicked the fallen pillar behind him.

   At this moment, several guards rushed in with quilts soaked in water.

  Using the cover of the quilt, a group of people safely rushed out of the sea of ​​​​fire.

   "Master, are you all right?"

   "Nothing, you go and put out the fire first." Xiao Qirui put down Feng Manman, turned around and left.

   "Brother Xiao." Feng Manman shouted to stop the person.

   Xiao Qirui turned back.

   "Thank you, you saved me again."

"Just treat me as repaying your life-saving grace." Xiao Qirui pursed his lips and continued: "You have an accident in this manor, and if you continue to stay, it will hurt you, and tomorrow I will order someone to send you off. out of the house."

  The kindness has been repaid, he should do what he should do and protect the people he should protect.

   Feng Manman's heart was tense, she opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but the person she was thinking of had left without looking back.

   "Pfft~" A mouthful of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, and Feng Manman's body fell limply.

   "Aunt... Auntie, are you alright?" Lu Liu hurriedly hugged him: "Master, Master, my aunt passed out..."

   However, no matter how she shouted this time, Xiao Qirui never looked back.

   Looking at the receding back, a drop of clear tears slowly fell from the corner of Feng Manman's eyes.

   She suddenly remembered the words that the steward had instructed thousands of times when she received the task.

   It is not allowed to pretend to be a real delusion.

   But how can you not be tempted?

  In the Jinxiu Courtyard, the flames spread rapidly, and the scorching heat made people's faces hot. There was a constant "boom" sound all around, and the smoke and heat wave made people cry.

   Yuan Yuwan endured the burning sensation in her hands and poured all the water in the teapot onto the handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose.

  Looking around, noticing that the burning curtain was drawing fire everywhere, she hurriedly ran over to tear it all down...

   She was too careless. She thought that their goal was in the front yard, and the purpose of robbing the housekeeper was to better arrange her own personnel to enter and leave the front yard, but she did not expect that they would set fire to the back yard in a frenzy.

  Thinking that the fire had been planted in advance all around, otherwise the fire would not have been able to burn so quickly.

   "Bang~" A piece of wood with sparks fell, Yuan Yuwan couldn't dodge and was smashed straight.

   "Hi~" She gasped in pain, and got up against the burning pain on her back.

   Another piece of wood fell, and she hurriedly avoided it, not wanting to be mixed up, and people fell forward uncontrollably...

  Suddenly, something loosened above her head, Yuan Yuwan's heart skipped a beat, she turned her head sharply, and the roof beam with the blazing fire quickly magnified in her eyes.

  Yuan Yuwan smiled wryly, why is it so hard to live?

  …

  ——

  Tell me, what posture should you use to torture him!
