Indulgence in the Red Chamber

In the inner room of the main room, the candlelight flickered and the heating was warm.Yinzhen sat in front of the bed, raised his hand to caress Jinyu's pale face, the girl Liansheng carefully backed out, and closed the door behind her.

"Fourth Master," Jin Yu opened his eyes and looked at the man beside him.On the thin face was a pair of bottomless black eyes, cold and shining like two obsidian stones.

"Don't move, just close your eyes and talk to me. Don't cry, it's not good for your eyes. How do you feel now?" Seeing Jinyu's eyes opened, Yinzhen's eyes were red, and she shed tears again. So he took his handkerchief and wiped her tears.

"It doesn't hurt much. After drinking the soup, my body has become much warmer. It's not as cold as before, as if I fell into a cold pool." Jinyu smiled sadly, and gently raised her hand to hold Yinzhen's hand Finger, "Don't be too harsh on the servants, it's all my own carelessness."

"Don't worry about it, you are the master. If they don't serve you well, it's already a death penalty. What's more, such a big thing happened today? Even if Huang Ama knew about it, she would definitely investigate it deeply and never let it go. Pass them." It's only been a few months since Yinzhen held Jinyu's hand, these small hands were originally red and soft, but now they are so thin and soft, they hold Jinyu's hands without any strength.

"I know you are very angry, and the emperor will be angry when he finds out. But at this moment, I am fine. Xuan Ning also said that as long as he is healthy and cared for, the child will be fine. So you don't want to go to war anymore. The child is still here In the mother's womb, it is still not appropriate to see blood in the mansion. What did you say?"

"Well, everything is up to you. As long as you treat yourself well, everything is easy to talk about." Yinzhen nodded, held Jinyu's hand, and comforted: "Don't care about them. You also close your eyes and be careful." Rest for a while. I told the kitchen to cook chicken soup, and the soup will be ready in a while, and you can eat some more."

"Okay. Don't be angry, sir, just sit here with me for a while."

"I won't go, you sleep, I'll just watch you here." Yinzhen nodded, at this time Jinyu had lost her usual boldness, and looked even more pitiful than Daiyu, despite Yinzhen's steely The heart also turned into tenderness in front of her.

Dai Duo came back from the outside, entered the door of the West Wing, took off his hat covered with snowflakes, his forehead was steaming, looked at the kneeling servants in the room, and then looked at the sitting on the carpet thinking Mrs. Li asked inexplicably, "Where is fourth master?"

"Fourth Master, let's have dinner with Si Fujin in the house. We can't tell, who knows." Li Shi said lightly.

Although there is no Kang in the west wing, the room is full of charcoal fire, so it is not too cold.Mrs. Li half-kneeled and half-sat on the carpet, but she didn't suffer much, but the group of maids and women in the back knelt on the ground, their knees and legs had long been sore and numb, and seeing Dai Duo now seemed to see Like a savior, they said in unison: "Housekeeper, we have been wronged, please hurry up and beg with Fourth Master, if you find out the real culprit, let us go!"

"The real murderer? Regarding the real murderer, I need to ask Shu Fujin to enlighten me a lot. Huiyun never came home. I found her mother and brought her back. It's just that these two honest people don't even know their daughter's face." I haven't seen it before, I don't know which house this Huiyun has returned to? Her old lady is in good condition, she has never even coughed, which dying old lady is she looking for?" Dai Duo stared at Li, and asked one sentence after another. .

"Are you asking me? How do I know? Aren't the people on the second door and the main door all yours? They are sneaking around all day, who knows what's wrong with it? Dai Duo, don't talk to the housekeeper with me. Uncle, anyway, I am also the half master of this mansion, and it is not your turn to ask me." Mrs. Li didn't put Dai Duo at all, and didn't take him seriously at all.

"You..." Dai Duo was robbed by Li Shi, but he didn't dare to get angry, so he just waved his hands and walked into the main room.

Seeing Dai Duo coming in, Lian Sheng hurriedly asked, "Did you find Hui Yun?"

Dai Duo exclaimed, shook his head, and said, "Where can I find her? I brought her old lady back. Both of them said they hadn't seen their daughter. What do you mean..."

"What can we do? Why did she disappear out of thin air? Could it be that she ran to the sky?" Liansheng sighed anxiously.

"Where's Grandpa?"

Liansheng mumbled into the room, but didn't speak.

Dai Duo quietly walked to the door of the inner room, looked in through the gap in the curtain, and saw Yinzhen sitting on the edge of the bed, holding the sleeping Fujin in his arms, he was motionless, as if he was about to wake up from his arms panting loudly man of.Dai Duo didn't dare to talk too much, so he quickly retreated quietly, and said to Liansheng before leaving: "When the master calls in a while, call me quickly."

"Understood." Liansheng nodded, and continued to squat on the doorstep in a daze, thinking carefully about what happened when he saw Shufujin Li Shi before giving Fujin the medicine.

After Daiyu returned to her room, she still couldn't eat and refused to sleep.Xuan Ning had no choice but to accompany her in the room, and said many words of comfort.It wasn't until the middle of the night that Daiyufang gradually fell asleep, and when Xuanning left, she told Zijuan Xueyan Chunxian to wait for a few girls to have a meal before leaving the Wuxiang courtyard and going back to her room to rest.

Early the next morning, Xuanning and Daiyu went to Jinyu's room to see her again, because she looked much better than last night.After asking the girl, she said that the redness has stopped and the pain in the lower abdomen is no longer there, and Xuan Ning felt relieved when he checked the pulse again.He only told Liansheng that the decoction must be stewed and stewed by the girl himself, and that he had to taste it before giving it to Fujin.

Seeing him being so careful, Yinzhen was grateful in his heart, but he didn't say much.Between brothers, just keep this friendship in your heart, and you don't have to talk about it all the time.

Daiyu accompanied her in Jinyu's room, so Yinzhen and Xuanning came out together to discuss how to deal with the matter in the East Wing.

The servants have already been driven by Yinzhen to kneel in the gatehouse, including Mrs. Li, they are not allowed to sleep or eat, and they just kneel on the cold ground. When did they find out the truth?Everyone secretly groaned in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say more.After all, something happened to Fujin, as the servants in this yard, everyone is responsible.Even Mrs. Li knelt down, and the slaves didn't dare to do anything.

"What do you think of this matter?" Yinzhen and Xuanning sat on the left and right, slowly drinking tea, and asked in a low voice.

"As a slave, even if you have the courage, you will not dare to murder your master without authorization. Huiyun is just a scapegoat. And now there is no news about her, maybe she is already dead."

"I have asked Dai Duo's family to search, but Hui Yun's body was not found. A servant on the second door is also missing. I'm afraid the two of them ran away secretly." Yinzhen's eyes reappeared cold, this time We must use this matter to completely clean up the family members, and we must not leave some unclear people in the mansion.

"Well, this happened. It's just too coincidental." Xuan Ning thought for a while, then asked: "What's the name of the guy who ran away?"

"Fu Hai."

"It's him?" Xuan Ning was taken aback, this kid was glib, and he said earlier that his old lady had angina, and he just made himself a pill—that's right!Isn't the prepared pill the same as the Musk Baoxin Pill? !

Thinking of this, Xuan Ning suddenly felt that he was the murderer!

"What's the matter? Do you know him?" Yinzhen looked at Xuanning in surprise and asked.

"The Musk Baoxin Pill was given to Fu Hai by me. He said that his mother had suffered from angina for many years, and many doctors couldn't see it well..." Xuan Ning shook his head dejectedly, and sighed, "I didn't expect this The pills hurt Fujin."

When Yinzhen heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, then patted Xuan Ning's hand, and persuaded: "It's not your fault. You have a kind heart in curing diseases and saving lives. They are the ones who have black hearts and use you to treat diseases." Medicines come to harm people. If I find this Fu Hai, I will definitely tear him to pieces!"

"No! I must find him and clarify this matter!" Xuan Ning stood up angrily and was about to go out.

"Xuanning!" Yinzhen stood up and held Xuanning in a hurry, "You don't need to look for it. Someone will look for it of course. Sit down and drink tea."

"Fourth Master..." Xuan Ning was held back by Yin Zhen, and looked at him in puzzlement.

"Wait a little longer..."

"Respond to Fourth Master's words!" Dai Duo rushed to report at the door, interrupting the conversation between the two brothers in the house.

"Say!" Yinzhen pulled Xuanning back and sat down.

"Two bodies were found in the well in the back garden. A man and a woman, but their faces were so different that it was impossible to tell who they were."

Xuanning was shocked, and frowned at Yinzhen.

"From the clothes they wear?" Yinzhen asked coldly.

"They...have no clothes..." Dido replied hesitantly.

Yinzhen was speechless, and Xuanning was even more speechless.

The matter has been found up to now, and the clues are all broken.

Obviously, those two corpses were Hui Yun and Fu Hai, but no one could tell clearly about this matter.Said to be Li's mastermind?Her family seems incapable of killing two people at once.Who is the accomplice?No clues were left behind.

Really ruthless and clean!

"Let's go and have a look." It's not that Xuan Ning doesn't believe Dai Duo's words, but that he wants to see his opponent's methods.It's really no small feat to be able to kill people in Sibeile Mansion.

Yinzhen nodded, and the two left the door of the wing room one after the other, and walked towards the back garden.

The two white bodies lying in the snow had frozen into lumps of ice.His face was scratched to pieces, his facial features could not be seen clearly, his whole body was completely naked, and he could only distinguish between a man and a woman.The guards of Baylor Mansion formed a circle to block the view of the servants. Dai Duo led the way. After Yin Zhen and Xuan Ning came over, the guards opened a gap to let them in.

After Xuan Ning looked at the two of them from head to toe carefully, Fang told Dai Duo: "Go say hello to the yamen and ask them to come over for the record. They said that we lost two servants in our house, but there were two more. However, it is not certain that the two dead people are the two lost people."

"This..." Dai Duo was puzzled, how did Mr. Ning know that the two dead people were not the two lost?

"Do as you say. Immediately call the clerk of the yamen to do the autopsy." Yinzhen said coldly.

"Yes." Dai Duo hurriedly agreed.Yinzhen ordered someone to guard the scene, and Fang and Xuanning left.

"What do you think?" In the snow, the two brothers walked slowly side by side, their leather boots creaking as they stepped on the snow.

"When you find Hui Yun and Fu Hai, you will know what happened to these two corpses. These two people have been dead for at least three days. And Fu Hai and Hui Yun have just been lost for one night. These two people are definitely not the two of them. They still Alive." Xuan Ning said in a low voice.

"As long as you're alive, this matter will be easy." Yinzhen gritted his teeth secretly.

"Well, the most important thing now is to take good care of Fujin first." Of course there is also my little Daiyu.Xuan Ning nodded, and slowly quickened his pace.

Someone came to the clan's mansion, recorded the matter in the file, and asked someone to remove the body, and Baylor's mansion was considered quiet.

Except for the few maids and women working in the main room who were close to Jinyu, the rest were sent out by Yinzhen and assigned to work as coolies in Zhuangzi. Dai Duo took care of the few who were related to the matter.Li Shi was once again grounded by Yinzhen, and Madam Jing was sent to serve her.

Madam Jing was affected by this incident, her face of more than ten years was erased, and she hated Mrs. Li in her heart. She used to serve Mrs. Li, so she naturally had her own way of revenge, so I won't go into details here.

The news of Jinyu's almost miscarriage spread like wildfire, and the Baylor Mansion and palaces of all the royal palaces heard the news. The Empress Defei sent people to the mansion to inquire, and the Fujin side Fujin of each mansion also came in person, and some ordered her to come people come.In short, in the past two days, the Four Baylor Mansion has been a little lively again.There are so many gossips behind the bustle, Jinyu only rests in her room every day, and she is just powerless about these things and doesn't bother to take care of them.The old Fujin from the mansion of the commander of the infantry moved here, mediating soups and medicines every day, and taking care of his daughter, so Yinzhen felt relieved.

Since someone died in the well in the back garden, Daiyu couldn't sleep peacefully every night.Zijuan and Xueyan took turns guarding her, and she still had nightmares.Xuan Ning prescribed a few doses of calming soup, but it didn't work very well, so Yinzhen planned to ask someone to clean up three rooms in the front yard for Daiyu to move in. Xuan Ning persuaded: "It's cold in winter, so it's not suitable to move. It's better Let's live in the No Fragrance Courtyard, just spare me a room in the No Fragrance Courtyard, and I'll just watch over her at night."

Yinzhen frowned and said, "How can this be done? You have to sleep well."

"Stay with her, maybe I can sleep a little longer. Knowing that she doesn't sleep well at night, even if I go back, I will always miss her at night. I have no choice but to watch over her." Xuan Ning smiled unabashedly, Let's be honest.

"It's too small." Yinzhen sighed thoughtlessly, feeling that something was wrong, and added: "It would be fine if it was bigger."

"Small, it's okay. There will always be a day when I grow up. I can wait." Xuan Ning smiled with happiness on his face.

"You!" Yinzhen shook his head and walked away, never mentioning tidying up Daiyu's room again.

Xuan Ning also justifiably moved into Wuxiangyuan that night.Zijuan and Xueyan packed up the warm kang in the east room and gave it to Xuan Ning. They moved the bedding away and planned to lay the floor in Daiyu's room at night, but Xuan Ning stopped them and told them to stay in the east room. This is resting on the soft couch in Daiyu's bedroom.

Zicuckoo was shocked and asked, "How does this happen?"

"Why not?" Xuan Ning asked back.

"My son is a daughter of gold, so I have to sleep and rest well. Although this soft couch can sleep, it is only for girls to rest during the day. How can I get rid of fatigue if I sleep on it for a long time? My son also invites you to live in the east room. Just sleep on the ground."

"You guys are here, she still can't sleep well at night. It's because I watched her fall asleep before going to sleep, and what's the reason for tossing back and forth?"

Zijuan didn't dare to make a clear distinction, so she had to look at Daiyu secretly.

"You don't need to serve me at night, why don't you just go to sleep until dawn?" Daiyu sat on a chair reading a book, said something lightly, and stopped looking at the crowd.Zijuan stopped talking, and according to Xuanning's intention, she carried a quilt and put it on the couch for Xuanning at night, cleaned up the outer bed under the window and placed a small kang table for Daiyu to read or sit up every day. , I and Xueyan are resting in the east room.

In the evening, Xuanning was reading in front of Daiyu's bed, watching her fall into a deep sleep, and then went back to sleep on his own couch. Around three o'clock, he suddenly heard a choking sound from Daiyu's bed, got up quickly, lit the lamp, and called out softly. Said: "Girl, are you dreaming again?"

Daiyu was silent, still sobbing, Xuanning opened her curtains, but saw Daiyu curled up, the quilt had already slipped to one side, the whole body huddled into a ball, with only thin clothes on her body, she was sobbing and crying with her face inward , like a nightmare.Xuan Ning reached out and hugged her into his arms, and wiped her tears while calling her name: "Yu'er, Yu'er, wake up, wake up..."

Daiyu woke up slowly, opened her eyes and saw herself in Xuanning's arms, buried her head in Xuanning's arms and began to cry.

"What did you dream about? You're crying so sadly, so I'll explain your dream to you." Xuan Ning's hand slowly pressed down on her back, straightening out the stagnant breath in her crying chest.

"I dreamed that my father was covered in blood, and he stood on the edge of the cliff and told me, let me live a good life, and I must be with you..." Daiyu said, sobbing again, and stretched out her arms to wrap around Xuanning's neck , cried again and said: "But when I turned around, I saw you who were standing behind thinking of your father and rushed over, as if you wanted to save him, but when you didn't pay attention, you fell off the cliff together with my father... …I am scared……"

"Okay, dear. Don't be afraid, dreams are always the opposite. Your father will come back safely." Xuan Ning got up in a hurry and had no clothes on. He felt a little cold at the moment, so he pulled the quilt over the two of them. wrapped together.

"You won't leave me either, will you?" Daiyu leaned her face into the hollow of his shoulder, curled up in his arms like a kitten, seeking warmth.

"No. How could I leave you? You forgot that I am a helpless person. In this world, only you are my reliance. In my world, only you can be trusted. "

"Pull the hook." Daiyu suddenly stretched out her little finger.

"This is a game played by the children of the mountain village. How do you know?" Xuan Ning was taken aback, then laughed.

"I heard what Liansheng said. She said that as long as she hooked her little finger, the two of them will understand each other, and what they said will eventually come true."

"Okay." Xuan Ning freed up a hand, stretched out his little finger to hook hers, "Hang yourself on the hook, and it won't change for 100 years."

"Hanging on the hook, not allowed to change for 100 years..."

The voices of the two murmured in the dark night, not thinking of a casual sentence, but it really became a lifetime oath.
