First Concubine

Chapter 234 Mother and son encounter (2)

There are many flowers in summer, and the pollen will be scattered in the air when the wind blows. This kind of patient should wear a veil. Zhuge Yu said again: "Don't you know how to bring some medicine when you go out?"

 Qin Zhixiao's throat slipped, and a little cold sweat broke out on his forehead: "Min Min's maid, she lost the medicine."

The maid sobbed: "It's all my fault, I was careless!"

Zhuge Yu shook his head and ordered Anping to fetch the silver needles that were always on the carriage. He immediately performed acupuncture on Lu Min and asked, "Are there Schizonepeta, Fangfeng, and Angelica dahurica in the house?" These are basic anti-allergic medicines. Medicinal materials also have the effects of promoting sweating, relieving external symptoms, dispelling wind and dissipating pain. Old ladies and others should take these medicinal materials regularly.

Shui Hangge hesitated and said: "There are some medicinal materials prepared in the house. The women will occasionally use them when they are sick, but I don't know if there are Nepeta, Fangfeng and Angelica dahurica. I will send someone to take a look." After that, I ordered the maid to go find Manager Liu.

Zhuge Yu gave Lu Min a needle at the Hegu point at the tiger's mouth, and another at her Quchi point. Soon, Shui Hange and Qin Zhixiao were surprised to find that Lu Min's breathing gradually became smoother, and her face The dark purple color faded away bit by bit, and the two of them breathed a long sigh of relief!

Not long after, Butler Liu brought the three medicinal materials that Zhuge Yu wanted. Zhuge Yu ordered Anping to cook them according to a certain amount. Anping took the medicinal materials and immediately went to the dining room. Lu Min was temporarily out of danger. Drinking some more medicine should be enough. You can wake up.

Zhuge Yu was about to leave, but after taking two steps, he heard a little maid exclaim: "Grandma Third Aunt! Grandma Third Aunt, what's wrong with you?" It was Shui Lingyu who came to visit Lu Min. She walked to the door and walked in before she entered. Fainted on the ground. Then, Qin Zhixiao's anxious voice came from behind, "Huh? What happened to the third cousin? Isn't she still feeling well? Didn't you ask a doctor to see you two days ago? Why did you faint?"

Shui Hangge patted his forehead, what's going on? It was a wonderful birthday, but when it was time to start the banquet, one or two fell ill, alas! What bad luck! He looked at Zhuge Yu and said bravely: "My eldest son, please move forward and take a look at the little girl! She was very ill in the past two days, with vomiting and diarrhea. I thought she was cured."

 Zhuge Yu looked at Shui Hangge and then at Lu Min. His thick eyebrows furrowed, but he still went to another wing with Shui Hange. As soon as he entered, the capable **** beside Shui Chenxiang hurried over and entered the room.

Shui Linglong pressed her swollen Hao wrist under her wide sleeves, and said expressionlessly to Shui Chenxiang: "I'm going to Yaxinju now. Auntie, come with me, or should we go in tandem?"

Shui Chenxiang didn't realize that Shui Linglong was injured, or that her mind was not on Shui Linglong at all. Her eyes trembled, and then she raised a warm smile: "Oh, you go to Yaxinju first, and I'll change some clothes." Just come."

Shui Linglong walked out of the courtyard and took away Zhi Fan who was waiting in the hall.

“Miss, I just heard a noise in the house. Is it okay?” Zhi Fan asked doubtfully.

Shui Linglong said casually: "It's nothing, the beam is broken, no one was hit, let's go."

At the end of August, the weather was hot and dry. Although it was approaching sunset, there was no chill in the wind. The water was so hot that Linglong was sweating profusely. She raised her eyes and glanced at the clear blue sky. She didn't know what she thought of. She turned around and abandoned Yaxinju. direction, to the dining room. Her original intention was to find Mrs. Du to inquire about news in the house, but she encountered Anping coming towards her with a food box. Anping also saw her and bowed hurriedly: "The Crown Princess!"

Shui Linglong sniffed it with her nose and said suspiciously: "Who wants to drink medicine? The heir apparent of your family?"

Anping smiled bitterly: "How can you do that, Crown Princess! Our Crown Prince is so strong! She is the second young mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion. She suffered from allergies, and there was no doctor in the mansion, so Master Shangshu asked the Crown Prince to diagnose and treat her. No, the Crown Prince prescribed it. I asked my slave to boil the medicine. I have just finished it and am going to deliver it to the Second Young Mistress."

Shui Linglong blinked: "How did my father know that the prince knows medical skills?"

Anping tilted his head and thought for a while: "Oh, I heard it from the concubine."

 Water, agarwood, fragrance? Shui Chenxiang knew that it was not surprising that Zhuge Yu knew medical skills. After all, she was once Xun Feng's. In order to gain her trust, it was reasonable for Xun Feng to occasionally reveal some confidential information, but... Shui Linglong paused and asked again: "Have you heard about what the second young mistress of the Prime Minister's residence is allergic to?"

 Anping replied: “I’m allergic to pollen.”

Shui Linglong remembered the previous conversation with the old lady.

“There are very few flowers in the grandmother’s room, so placing a few pots would be a pleasant surprise.”

“This flower is one of the congratulatory gifts from the Dowager Empress. She has always loved violets and couldn’t put them down before leaving the palace.”

Shui Linglong pressed her eyebrows. Lu Min was allergic to pollen, and Shui Chenxiang happened to give the old lady flowers. Is this another coincidence?

Anping found that Shui Linglong was interested in this topic and hurriedly continued: "Oh, it's serious. When the prince rushed over, the second young lady's whole face was purple! It seemed... as if someone had grabbed her throat and she couldn't breathe. Very angry!"

Shui Linglong became more and more confused: "Since it is such a serious allergic disease, the second young lady didn't prepare any medicine?"

Anping sighed: "Her personal maid didn't know what she was doing for food, so she actually lost the medicine."

The beams collapsed, Shui Linglong sent flowers, Lu Min became allergic to it, and her medicine was mysteriously missing... One or two Shui Linglong wouldn't think it was anything, but putting them together would really make people suspicious. Shui Linglong's quiet and deep eyes narrowed slightly: "If you think about it again, are there any other weird things?"

"Something else." Anping recalled it carefully, patted his thigh and said, "Oh, I remembered it! I got the order from the Crown Prince and quickly went to the dining room to make medicine. I saw the third aunt of the Shangshu Mansion walking in. In the yard, the slave saluted her and asked her if she was sick. Her face was frighteningly white and she ignored her. She waved her hand and passed by him after taking a few steps. The second young master of the Qin family heard an exclamation from the corridor, it seemed that the third aunt had fainted! "

"Shui Lingyu went to the wing room again? Then, Zhuge Yu, who had finished treating Lu Min, met her for treatment as a matter of course." Shui Linglong pinched a leaf casually!

"Be careful of the steps! This way!" A high-pitched voice suddenly came from the distant path. Shui Linglong pulled Zhifan and Anping quickly behind the rockery and saw Shui Hangge and Shui Chenxiang. The **** came hurriedly.

Shui Hangge's expression was very solemn: "Is the concubine okay?" Why is she so unlucky? First two people fell ill, and now the beams in Shui Chenxiang's house are broken, one after another, non-stop!

The little **** said with a worried look on his face: "Fortunately, I hid quickly and my wife was not hurt. She was just frightened. She feels uncomfortable being stuck in the room right now!"

"Then...then hurry up!" Shui Hangge was so anxious that he broke out in cold sweat and disappeared from the spot at a fast pace.

Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows when she heard this. How could Shui Chenxiang be frightened? It’s obviously very good! She invited Shui Chenxiang to go to Yaxinju with her but was rejected. Shui Chenxiang threatened to change her clothes before leaving the yard. Don't tell her. Shui Chenxiang started to get scared after changing clothes, so she felt uncomfortable in the room. If Shui Chenxiang only had such courage as a mung bean, why would she have colluded with Xun Feng to plot the rebellion? In this way, Shui Chenxiang's purpose is just to attract Shui Hangge. Shui Hangge was in Shuiling's wing with Zhuge Yu before. Was Shui Chenxiang trying to attract Shui Hangge?

Zhifan's next words confirmed Shui Linglong's guess: "That's not right. I was sitting in the hall watching. It was clear that he had left, and there was a loud noise in the room of the concubine. How did he know that the concubine was injured?" Frightened?"

Shui Linglong's pupils narrowed: "Give me the medicine! Go and guard the second entrance. No matter who comes, no matter what method you use, just stop them all! Zhifan, follow along too! Look! Report it to me when you know who it is!" If all this is to frame Zhuge Yu, then there must be an extraordinary witness. Bless me, I hope she still has time...

In one of the two rooms next to the Yingbin Pavilion, Qin Zhixiao was guarding the unconscious Lu Min, with an indistinguishable smile on his lips, Zhuge Yu, Zhuge Yu, this time you are Even if you jump into the Yellow River, you won’t be able to clean yourself! Even if you have great abilities, you can't escape the fate of being punished!

In the next room, Shui Hangge left, and Zhuge Yu also stood up, looked at Shui Lingyu, and said in the usual tone: "Third sister, you just have some heat stroke, you need a good rest, there is no big problem."

Shui Lingyu's eyes flashed and she said, "Brother-in-law, I have something to say to you!"

Zhuge Yu paused, turned around and looked at her, and said in the usual tone: "If you have anything to say, just tell your eldest sister!"

Shui Lingyu sat up suddenly, got out of bed and knelt on the ground, she was about to cry: "Brother-in-law! The eldest sister is still annoyed with me about what happened the year before last. She blames me for making the old lady so angry that she had a stroke. She will definitely not Take care of me! Brother-in-law, for the sake of working with Governor Jiang, please save me and Governor Jiang’s children!”

 Zhuge Yu looked at her condescendingly and said expressionlessly: "If she ignores you, I won't even care."

"Huh?" Shui Lingyu was shocked, why is this person so cold-blooded? Not even polite? Shui Lingyu's pupils moved, and she suddenly shouted at Zhuge Yu's back, "Brother-in-law! If you don't help me! I will die in front of you! But when I die, you are the only one present, who Everyone will doubt you! Do you think it’s just a piece of cake? Why risk your own bright future?”

Zhuge Yu smiled softly and said with unspeakable mockery: "Here, this is my special dagger, use it!" After saying that, he took out a dagger from his arms and threw it back, and it landed on the ground without any bias. Next to Shui Lingyu.

Shui Lingyu was shocked again by Zhuge Yu's bold move, and suddenly couldn't utter a single word of the next words. Just when Zhuge Yu was about to cross the threshold, a greeting similar to that of a little maid came from outside: "My slave, please send your greetings to Eunuch Zhang! May Eunuch Zhang be blessed!"

coming? Shui Lingyu's body shook violently, and in the blink of an eye, countless complex emotions flashed through her eyes. However, when the little maid finished speaking, she suddenly stood up and bumped into the wardrobe on the side: "Ah - brother-in-law! Don't kill me. Me! I didn't see anything! I...I...I really...didn't see anything...you...just go around me!" Blood flowed down his forehead.

 Zhuge Yu frowned and looked at Shui Lingyu angrily, but unexpectedly saw an envelope on the ground and a piece of white paper floating in the air. A figure walked into the room, stretched out his green-white hands to catch the white paper slowly falling in front of him, and raised his thin lips into a sneer: "Shui Lingyu, no see in two years, you are good at acting!"

Shui Lingyu felt like she was struck by thunder as soon as she heard this familiar voice, and she was stunned: "Big...big...big sister?"

Shui Linglong looked at the letter in her hand, and it turned out to be a secret letter about forming a party for personal gain, embezzling money to provide disaster relief! These people were really scheming. She thought they wanted to plot against Shui Lingyu and Zhuge Yu, but it turned out to be a political crime that was countless times more serious than having an affair! Zhuge Yu took the letter from Shui Linglong's hand and after reading it, his eyes were like a cold pool.

"Shui Lingyu, are you born with a lack of ejaculation? Guo Mansion's lessons have been passed for too long. It has been so long that you have healed and your scars have forgotten the pain, right?" Shui Linglong looked at her condescendingly, and her words were like ice.

Shui Lingyu looked at Zhuge Yu, who was like a demon who wanted to tear her apart, and then looked at Shui Linglong, who had a murderous look on his face as if he wanted to chop her off, and her heart trembled! She covered her face and calmed down her frightened emotions little by little, and said calmly: "Sister! I only agreed to them when I was really desperate! After the governor died, the three-room concubine immediately jumped out and rushed out. I went out! They said I was a broomstick and killed the governor! The eldest son and the second son joined forces to drive me and Nian Feng out of the house! Everyone in the clan was on their side, and no one spoke for our mother and son! I didn't go back to my parents' home until I was married, and I was afraid of being kicked out again, so I agreed to Shui Minyu against my conscience... Sister, as long as you are willing to help me, I will never be like this! If you hadn't said that my affairs would have nothing to do with you from now on, I would I won't...I won't be desperate enough to seek refuge with Shui Minyu, eldest sister..."

"Shui Lingyu! Did you blame me for your evildoing? Besides, why should I care about you? What did you do to me when I was in Shangshu Mansion? Did you help me or hurt me? Quite the opposite. , you only helped Shui Lingyue to plot against me!" Shui Linglong said sharply.

Shui Lingyu showed a hint of embarrassment: "Then...I had no choice at that time...I..."

Shui Linglong interrupted her sarcastically: "Shui Lingyu, why are you forced so much? You are always forced, and those who are harmed by you are always to blame! Ha! What a great truth!"

Shui Lingyu bit her lip, and tears filled her eyes bit by bit again. Shui Linglong couldn't bear to see her look like she had done something wrong and was being framed: "If you hadn't embezzled a lot of private money and property, Will Jiang Da and Jiang Er drive you mother and son out of the Jiang family? The Jiang family is related to the Queen. If you hadn't gone too far, would they be willing to risk losing the Queen's face and drive out a weak mother and son? Shui Lingyu? "When did you hide your secret in front of me?"

Shui Lingyu lowered her head in shame, and after a battle between heaven and man in her heart, she said confidently: "Yes, I misappropriated the Jiang family's property, but those were originally left by Jiang Hai to our mother and son during his lifetime! Jiang Hai knew his age. He is already old and may not be able to accompany me for a few more years, so he made arrangements for me and Nian Feng early!" However, the summer resort she had always liked was not among them. Jiang Hai said that he bought the resort when he and his wife got married. It was best to leave it to her eldest son, but she refused and was willing to exchange it for another villa in her name. At that time, Jiang Hai was rushing to the front line to direct flood fighting and rescue operations, so the matter was shelved. But Jiang Hai said nothing before leaving, and he would solve this problem when he came back. In her opinion, the "solution" mentioned by Jiang Hai must be to give her the summer resort. Jiang Hai verbally promised, so she did not violate Jiang Hai's wishes! Jiang Da and Jiang Er both held official positions and enjoyed royal salaries all their lives. Why should they compete with her, a widowed woman with a child?

Shui Linglong looked at Shui Lingyu who was gritting her teeth coldly. She really didn't even bother to scold her. In order to achieve a specific purpose, she could work with Shui Lingyue to harm her, she could work with her to scheme against Qin Zhixiao, or she could use beauty She used her own tricks to win the favor of Governor Jiang, and even used her body to seduce Governor Jiang before marriage. If this kind of woman is stable and wealthy, she can live a life of concentration, but once she loses her backbone, she can easily go astray. At the end of the day, he is weak-willed and selfish.

Zhuge Yu walked to Shui Linglong's side, frowned and asked: "What are you going to do with her? Kill her or sell her? Well, you can also report her to the official."

Shui Lingyu was so frightened that she lost her mind. When Shui Min's jade tongue shined like a lotus flower, and her plan was flawless, she foolishly believed it. She felt that such a sophisticated arrangement and the participation of so many important people were impossible to deal with a person who had no idea at all. Zhuge Yu was more than prepared, but despite all the precautions, he still failed to guard against the monster Shui Linglong...

"Sister! Sister, I know I was wrong! Please forgive me for the sake of Fifth Sister! If I die, Fifth Sister will feel uncomfortable. She has already been sad enough to lose Aunt Feng. If she loses me again, she..."

"Don't stand in for Aunt Feng with me! Aunt Feng's death seems to have something to do with you Shui Lingyu!" Shui Linglong pulled off the dress she was holding in her hand, "Aunt Tong gave birth to you and died! My aunt committed suicide because of your sarcasm because she wanted to make a wedding dress! When my grandmother and her father were discussing Minhui's stay, you intervened and exposed Minhui's life experience, which made the old lady angry! , I love you and love your husband, but I accidentally became "glorious"! Shui Lingyu, why are the people who have a relationship with you so unlucky? "

"I..." Shui Ling choked and was speechless.

Just as one was staring and the other was crying, there was a stalemate. There was a burst of panicked footsteps outside the door. Zhuge Yu moved outside the door like a hurricane and struck Qin Zhixiao who had eavesdropped in the corner with a big palm strike. Fainted on the ground.
