Jia Juan of the New Red Mansion

"Give him this medicine." The man in black put away the dagger in his hand, took out a small wooden box from his pocket, and put it on the table, "Who are you? Why did you come to harm the second master. "Xiu'er slumped on the ground and asked bravely.

"Hmph, I can't see that you are quite timid, little girl. How do you know that this is not a panacea that can cure your master." The man in black outside the window seemed impatient, "What are you talking about with her?" As I said, you just stuff it in for Jia Zheng. As for the use of keeping this maid.” Seeing the fierce light in his eyes, Xiuer moved her buttocks and backed away in fear until there was no way out. Begging for mercy with wide open eyes of fear.

The man in black in the room glared at his accomplice, "Isn't it already discussed when we came here, why did we change our minds? Forget it, speaking of it, this matter was just superfluous, and it was a trick you made out of unnecessary actions. It's up to you Toss, as long as it doesn't ruin our big business."

"Master, please forgive me, sir." Xiu'er knelt on the ground and kowtowed non-stop. It was strange that there was such a commotion in the house, but the night watchmen in the outer room were not disturbed. Maybe they had already been killed.Thinking of this, Xiu'er begged for mercy louder.Probably because he was afraid that Xiu'er's voice would attract people in the yard, the man in black kicked Xiu'er in the heart, "Shut up, it's too noisy."

"Hehe, I thought you started to learn to cherish women, but it turned out that you still have this dead virtue. Be careful, don't kill her. Otherwise, it will be boring." The man in black outside the house smiled proudly Voice.

"Have you had enough fun? Hurry up and get down to business." The man in black in the room pointed to the small wooden box on the table. Jump yourself into the well behind the house."

"I, I choose the first one." Xiu'er tremblingly took out the golden pills in the wooden box, and said silently in her heart, Second Master, I'm sorry, slaves can't help themselves, don't come back after you die, it's wrong The first debt has a master, if you have a spirit after death, remember to recognize these two people, they are the real murderers who killed you.

"What are you dawdling about? We don't have time to dawdle with you here." It can be seen that the tempers of the two men in black are opposite, and the one outside is relatively irritable.Xiu'er has been a slave in Rongguo Mansion for so long, and she has no other skills, so she learned to read people. After listening to the conversation between the two, she can tell which of the two men in black is really able to talk, and the black man in the room Clothes are better at talking,

Xiu'er sat on the side of the bed and looked at Jia Zheng in embarrassment, "Master, this pill is so big, the second master is already like this, how can he swallow it?" The man in black in the room chuckled, "You just need to take it Put the pill in his mouth, pour him a bowl of water, and the pill will melt in his mouth."

Xiu'er hurriedly followed the method he taught, opened the second master's mouth and closed his eyes, and put the pills in, fearing that the second master would wake up suddenly and accidentally swallow the pills and be choked to death, quickly poured the bowl of warm tea that he had prepared earlier into In the mouth of the second master.After a while, as the man in black said, the medicine melted in water.

"Master, the pill has melted." Xiu'er worriedly checked the second master's mouth and found that there was no pill left, so she let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they were not lying.

As soon as the words were finished, Xiu'er suddenly heard the second master's voice from behind, she turned her head in surprise, and saw the second master's eyelids moved, could it be that this pill is really a life-saving medicine. "Second Master, you're awake." To her disappointment, the Second Master did not wake up. After humming twice, he lay there and continued to lift his corpse.

"Hey, that's not right. Logically, he should wake up soon. Changqing, go and feel his pulse." It turned out that the two men in black were the crown prince and the Taoist priest of Changqing. Suddenly, Jia Zheng accidentally killed Wen Dinghou's concubine, and thought it was very interesting, so he deliberately went up to tease him.

Unexpectedly, Jia Zheng's reaction was beyond the crown prince's surprise. He thought that a child like him who was born in a family who relied on his father's shade to be an official would not have one or two lives on his hands.Especially women with low status like concubines, their lives are like grass in the eyes of dudes, and they can be bullied at any time.

Not to mention the children of aristocratic families, even the palace compound with strict rules and the inner courtyard of the royal family who pay attention to face also have shady things.To put it bluntly, a slave is a dog raised by the master, but a concubine and other women are tools for the master to warm the bed.These humble lives can be slaughtered by the master.

Although it was not his own slave who killed Jia Zheng, but Wen Dinghou's servant girl, but to put it bluntly, it was a cheap life.Why bother to be pretentious here, obviously wishing the other party would die, but showing a panicked expression after the attack.The crown prince dislikes this kind of sanctimonious hypocrite the most. He is either a real villain or a real gentleman. It is really annoying to have a duplicity like him.

When the little fox Wen Dinghou took the idiot Mr. Bei Jing for a walk to the lake, the show finally started.Prince Bei Jing learned the same way as his father, no one wants to offend anyone, two of the three sentences are romantic, and the remaining one is nonsense.Talking to this kind of person is very boring, not as interesting as Jia Zheng.

The spies came to report that the Prince of Beijing Jing had recently been secretly in close contact with the third prince, and it seemed that he couldn't sit still and wanted to get involved.As for Shui Fang, when he was still wearing open crotch pants, he was sent to a prestigious family by Master Shui to be raised by his master and wife. Because he was not in the capital since he was a child, the royal family and the children of the family didn't even know whether he was round or square. .

If it hadn't been for Shui Laohou who was seriously ill, Shui Fang was picked up by the Hou's mansion, I'm afraid he would have almost forgotten that there is a man named Wending Young Master in the capital.Old Master Shui died early, and Shui Fang inherited the title at a young age, which made many children from aristocratic families jealous.Who told him that no brother in his family would compete with him for position.

Don't look at him who never shows his face, but when he speaks, he speaks impeccably, making people unable to find any flaws.I heard that the reason why he was sent to the south of the Yangtze River to serve as the deputy censor was that the emperor despised him for not doing business all day long, and he was ashamed of the old Hou Ye's deathbed entrustment. Is this true or false?The prince can choose the latter. As a master, he must not trust anyone easily, not even kissing Lao Tzu.

The crown prince sent secret guards to follow Jia Zheng all the way into Rongguo Mansion, and put a poison from the Western Regions in his teacup.This poison is initially exhilarating, and in the later stage is debilitating and bedridden until speechless and unconscious.People who have been poisoned by this poison finally die in their sleep.

After Jia Zheng was poisoned, his temper became irritable, moody, and beat and scolded his servants at every turn. Now the servants look at him and hide away, for fear of offending the second master if they are not careful.

The toxicity in Jia Zheng's body spread quickly, and later became so severe that he was awakened by nightmares every night.In the dream, Pearl with disheveled hair and wet body crawled in from outside the house, seeking Jia Zheng's life.Jia Zheng had a guilty conscience, thinking that Pearl had come to seek revenge for his death, and was so frightened that he did not dare to close his eyes all night.

I can’t sleep at night, but I don’t feel tired during the day, and my spirits are extraordinarily excited. People who feel tired after walking a few steps can walk around the outer wall of Rongguo Mansion and still have the strength to go to the street. on a stroll.

He himself felt that something was wrong, how could someone jump around tremblingly without going to sleep, even kittens and dogs know to take a nap, let alone ordinary people?Over the next few days, Jia Zheng became thinner and thinner. He concealed his identity and went to see doctors he didn't know a few times, but he didn't see any tricks. Most of the prescriptions were mild and harmless tranquilizers.

After taking one or two doses, it didn't help, but the insomnia became worse. I could sleep for an hour before, but now I can't close my eyes for half an hour. When I close my eyes, I can see pearls shaking in front of my eyes.

Later, he heard from a doctor that his situation seemed to be possessed by evil spirits.In the past, he would have scolded the doctor angrily, which is nonsense.However, this time the situation has to be dubious.So, he bought a few talisman papers worth a hundred taels from a Taoist priest who claimed to be able to catch ghosts and subdue demons, and secretly pasted them under the bed.

Why is it under the bed, not on the door or on the wall?Jia Zheng's plan made people laugh and cry, he was afraid that his servants would see and spread bad words.Of course the spell didn't work. Like the previous nights, Pearl would appear in front of Jia Zheng on time every night.

Jia Zheng felt that he had been cheated, so he went to the Taoist priest to settle the score.When I arrived at the temporary residence of the Taoist priest, I found that the building was empty, and the Taoist priest had already packed up his bedding and fled away.This kind of disgraceful thing, and it is inconvenient to go to the Yamen to report to the official, can only be regarded as a lesson.

After the prince heard about Jia Zheng's troubles, he laughed until his stomach ached.To put it bluntly, "Jia Zheng is really lucky that he wasn't driven crazy." Chang Qing glanced at him sideways, "If you've had enough fun, let's stop. He's not an important person, and it's worth a lot of trouble to arrange it. .” The prince showed a strange smile and stopped talking.Changqing didn't ask any further questions, and turned back to the alchemy room to make alchemy.

I thought that the prince would stop playing for a few days, so I let him go crazy.It wasn't until the crown prince took him into the Rongguo Mansion that Chang Qing knew that the crown prince had not given up on Jia Zheng.

Over the years, Changqing has also figured out the prince's temper seven to eight times, and he never does anything that is not profitable.Changqing was full of suspicion, but he was obedient and didn't ask any more questions.Changqing sat beside Jia Zheng's bed and felt his pulse.It took a while to let out a breath, "He's fine, it's just that he can't wake up for a while because he eats too much good food on weekdays."

The prince opened his mouth, what is wrong with this. "You mean, the golden elixir you refined will have two different reactions when used on two people?" "The specific reason needs to be found out with a few more people to test the medicine. This will be done in a wrong way. It's a good thing." If he hadn't used the medicine on Jia Zheng, he probably wouldn't have discovered that the medicine had two completely different effects.

"Hey, of course, it doesn't matter who is doing the work." The prince became proud, and then looked at Jia Zheng, who was lying on the bed with his dead body, "Are you sure, he will be fine?" "Don't worry, he won't die. However, I have to suffer a lot in the past few days." Changqing glanced at Jia Zheng sympathetically.

"There are sufferings left and right, and these few days are indispensable. In fact, this is also good, where someone is seriously ill and heals suddenly. Let him wake up a few days later, and it will not make people suspicious." The prince continued. , "Your name is Xiu'er. You are not an accomplice to this matter, but an insider. If the old lady of the Jia family finds out that you gave your second master the golden pill, I don't need to remind you of the consequences. Right. Do you know how to do it?"

Zhao Xiu'er nodded hastily, "I know this, and I will definitely not tell anyone about it. Please spare my life." "She knows too much, are you sure you want to spare her?" Chang Qing asked.

"Keep her for her own use, Xiu'er, show me clearly. If someone comes to you with such a jade pendant in the future, you have to agree to whatever he asks you to do. If you violate it, you owe me my life today. I will pay with the lives of your mother and brother and sister-in-law."

"Slave, servant must listen to the words of the uncle."

"I heard that Mrs. Wang is not a fuel-efficient lamp. There are three servant girls who can be named by her poison. Counting the days, she will soon return home. I don't think you, a cheap aunt, can't do much. God. Forget it, although the uncle can’t make you the wife of the house, but he can help you. It’s also interesting to be able to embarrass Wang Ziteng’s sister.” Changqing’s mouth twitched, torturing himself Not enough, and you have to meddle in the affairs of other people's houses. Is it really too busy?
