Rong Xuan

Chapter 35

But the good news is that Sima Xuan finally woke up.

"Sister Ying has brought your little nephews and nieces back to the General's Mansion with General Wei," Cao Hui sat on the edge of the bed, smoothing the wrinkles on the bed sheet with both hands , and whispered in a low voice like chatting: "On the first day, your father and Kun Shizi also came over together, because Mr. Huaiying said about you, your situation will not turn around for a while..."

There was a moment of hesitation between the words, Cao Hui immediately changed the subject and said: "I took your Moyu finger wrench and asked Liu Sheng to ask Chen Xun to lead people to temporarily surround your Marquis Mansion for two days , but it's all right now, and Uncle Huaiying already knows about you...he also knows."

When the last few words were spoken, Cao Hui's voice was almost inaudible. She lowered her head, like a child who actively waits for her parents to scold her after doing something wrong.

"Did someone from the Imperial Medical Office come here?" Seeing that she no longer asked about the specifics of the poisoning, and Sima Junhou had no time to worry about Sima Ren knowing his true identity, his voice was hoarse and shrewd like a ghost. Ruo Dao: "How many days have I been in a coma? Who came to visit during the period? Or can something wrong be found out in the Hou's mansion?...Yuanrong?"

"Ah?" Cao Hui agreed as if caught off guard, but she didn't turn her head to look at Sima Xuan immediately, she still lowered her head: "Oh, what did you just say?"

"Forget it, it's not important." Cao Hui didn't let Sima Xuan repeat her words. She turned her face away and said softly: "You can rest at ease and take care of yourself as soon as possible to recover. Just leave the ghosts and monsters beside you. I'm fine..."

"..." Sima Xuan didn't answer this time - this guy who barely woke up fell asleep again because of lack of energy when Cao Hui said a word.

Cao Hui removed the thin pillow from the back of Sima Xuan's head, and let him lie down before going to sleep. Then, he took plain gauze from a small table next to him to cover his face, and the woman with black hair and bun got up dignifiedly, He walked out with steady steps.

In the woman's always Wuzheng soft eyebrows and eyes, a touch of cruelty flashed very quickly the moment she walked out of the room.

——If you want to start a big show on the territory of the Jinglinghou Mansion, you must first ask me, Cao Yuanrong, if I agree!

……

Sima Xuan knew that the poison on her body was no longer as simple as being poisoned for a day or two. Calculated according to the amount of cinnabar that was thrown in, if she hadn't been drunk that night, and she had been working hard for days on the paper, how could she have died? If you don't say it is poisonous, it will be poisonous.

But even the poisonous hair is not unexpected, now that Cao Hui is there, Sima Xuan has an indescribable sense of comfort—like those layman ascetics who trek alone in the lonely desert at the farthest edge of the northern border with few people. Suddenly, in the boundless sea of ​​sand, she walked into a solemn and solemn Buddhist gate that allowed her to let go of the world of mortals and take refuge in it.

After listening to Cao Hui's departure, the person sleeping soundly on the bed opened his eyes without warning.

"...Come in," the pale-faced man with dark red lips raised his arms, casually placed the back of his hand on his forehead, and spoke in a hoarse voice than before: "What's going on outside?"

A window that was tightly closed for heat insulation opened and closed, and Shiliu, dressed in guards, stepped in from outside the partition, without even clasping his fists in salute, and directly replied: "East Palace Master Yushitai and Dali Temple jointly bite After Pingzhou died, the superior was still hesitating, the cabinet stayed out of the matter, although the prince abandoned his pawns in time to save the car, he was still suspended from all his duties, but the northern army was not implicated."

"Where is Cai Guogong's mansion?"

The always safe Shiliu thought that his master would ask Zhenhai Wangfu immediately, but after preparing a set of answers, he suddenly heard a term on the edge, which made Shiliu obviously surprised after hearing these words.

Fortunately, the things in her mind were clear. After a pause, she lowered her voice and said, "Mrs. Cai Guogong took her nine sons back to her natal family's Di Mansion two days ago. It was said to the outside world that Mrs. Di Ge was ill. Madame has gone back to her mother's house to take care of her sick mother."

"The news came from Xiwu Palace that Princess Jinghui is still under confinement, and everything else is normal and safe," Shiliu replied before Sima Xuan was about to ask another question, "Leng Nuo from the Ji family in Wansheng Lane personally Staring at it, nothing unusual."

Sima Xuan reluctantly moved her body, she seemed to have something to say, but it's a pity that there are too many things in her mind at the moment, and one of them was accidentally messed up by themselves, like a pot of paste It was in her mind, so she couldn't figure it out.

Shiliu's thoughts are clear to herself, but the embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in an ant's nest. It's not that Sima Xuan doesn't care about the movements of Zhang Chao and his son, but now she has not been able to completely free her hands and take back her "two fists" to protect her body forward.

She turned her head and asked with uneven breath: "What about the mansion, I'm sick, these few days, the mansion is okay, is there any movement?"

The corner of Shiliu's mouth curled into an indistinct smile, although his voice was still cold, but the expression on his face seemed to be a very comfortable expression: "Reporting to master, Madam has already uprooted those things in the outer courtyard with lightning speed. "

Uprooted, uprooted?Sima Xuan's fingers trembled violently, and he turned his palms down, covering half of his face with ease—Hui'er personally wiped out the little gangsters inserted outside, which meant that Everyone who can be alarmed has been alarmed...

Oh, it's all right, since someone started the gong, she, Sima Xuan, will take over the stage!

Shiliu waited in place for a long time, the room was filled with incense, and it was so quiet, when she heard the sound of regular but somewhat heavy breathing from the bed——she found that the mentally ill master Sima Xuan had really fallen asleep again .

Finally, Shiliu lightly pressed the redness on the forehead that had almost completely faded—she was accidentally stuck on the forehead when she went out to perform a mission a few days ago, and finally came along quietly The road backed out.

As a result, as soon as she walked out of the carved moon arch at the junction of the inner courtyard and the backyard, the little girl Chujiu, who was also dressed as a guard, held a Wuhen waist knife in one hand and a bunch of candied haws in the other, jumping three times from the north. Strolled over, "Old Zhan, Lao Zhan, your family is waiting for you outside the back corner door~"

Before the ninth day finished speaking, people had already rushed out far away, Shiliu frowned, and ran towards the rear corner door without saying a word.

The back corner gate of the Jingling Hou Mansion is under the jurisdiction of the Qianfu Gate, and my house is separated from the back gate of the Hou Mansion in the north by a street, and it is even farther away from the Qianfu Gate. How could Ning Linglong have traveled so far to come here?

"Qing... Sixteen! Sixteen!" When Ning Linglong saw that tall figure, her heart thumped back into her chest with a thud. She was a little excited, and almost blurted out "Qing Jin!" " Fortunately, she just stood outside the back corner door and waved to Shiliu from a distance.

It looked like something was really urgent.

Shiliu hung the Wuhen knife in his hand on his waist, and strode over.

"What's the matter?" People who talk less usually talk less at any time, perhaps not because they don't know what to say, but because they simply don't want to say it.

The expression on Ning Linglong's face froze for a moment, but she knew that Shiliu was such a cold person, so she didn't care, and instead replied: "The household registration department of the Chang'an government office came to register at home. No, no...they're there."

Looking across the street in the direction Ning Linglong pointed, she saw two clerks standing under a big willow tree holding thick books.

"..." Sixteen raised his hand to scratch his eyebrows, then opened his mouth silently, without making a sound.

She patted Ning Linglong's upper arm comfortingly, and strode sideways towards the opposite side.

After a while, the young man in the brocade gown of the Marquis Mansion's red sea blue guards sent the two small yamen servants away from Chang'an Mansion, and returned to the back corner door with squinted eyes.

She raised her chin towards the road leading to her home, and stood with half of her body facing the light. The expression on her face was vaguely cast by the light. She looked so warm and brilliant, but she spoke with the usual indifference and alienation: "Let's go, You can go back."

Before Ning Linglong came here, she had just returned from the vegetable market, and was urged to come here by the servants before she had time to enter the house, and now she was still carrying a vegetable basket full of fruits and vegetables in one hand.

She gestured to Shiliu for the vegetable basket on her forearm, and said, "Are you coming back for dinner?"

"..." Shiliu just wanted to shake his head when a magnificent carriage stopped beside him steadily.

"Hey? It's you!" The guard Hou Zaixin recognized Shiliu the moment he jumped off the horse. He smiled cheerfully at Shiliu, and stood beside the carriage to wait.

Shiliu's eyes glanced slightly at the door of the carriage - sure enough, the one who opened the door was Princess Yongjia.

Princess Yongjia, who was wearing a tulle veiled hat, glanced at Shiliu the moment she got off the car, and saw that the person who said he was going to leave but didn't leave was just like the guards and boys, with his upper body slightly bowed and his head bowed. Giving his head a salute, Princess Yongjia walked into the back corner door without stopping.

"Go ahead, see you later." ——After Princess Yongjia walked in, Shiliu saw Hou Zaixin make such a mouth-shape for himself.

As before, Shiliu didn't give any response, but Hou Zaixin turned around and grinned at Shiliu after walking in the door.

Shiliu turned his eyes back unconsciously to the carriage in Wuwenyuan parked by the roadside, his eyes were cold, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Ning Linglong's gaze was always on Shiliu's silhouette. Facing the bright sun, Ning Linglong's eyes gradually became dull...

In the Hou's mansion, Princess Yongjia was walking on the road leading to Anheju. She sniffed the scent of flowers and plants in the air, and suddenly turned her head to ask Hou Zaixin, who was five steps behind her, "I was at the door just now. The person outside is..."

"Sixteen," Hou Zaixin replied.

Princess Yongjia let out an "oh" and continued to walk forward, but Fang Jing, the female envoy who was by her side, couldn't help stealing glances at Princess Yongjia several times.

The master's expression...well...it seems to be the usual kind of indifference to everything, but if you look closely...

"Your Majesty is here, I'm here to welcome you!" Cao Hui's gentle and gentle voice came from the other side of the T-junction without any haste. Princess Yongjia followed the prestige and saw the new woman who was wearing a plain gauze. Let people come here.

As soon as he saw it, he walked up to him.

"I have met the Princess of the Princess, and the Lady is Jin'an." Cao Hui stopped the pace of the accompanying servants, and came forward alone to greet the Princess of Yongjia.

Princess Yongjia smiled slightly on her face covered under the veiled hat. She stretched out her hand to help Cao Hui, who bowed her knees, and said bluntly: "Mrs. 'Acquaintance of eight obeisances', according to the relationship, I need to call you sister-in-law--and, I came back immediately after I got the news, how is Yuanchu now?"

"Your Majesty lives in Anhe, your Majesty can just come with me," Cao Hui said politely to Princess Yongjia.

Only when the two of them got close to each other on the bluestone path, Cao Hui was able to lower his voice and said: "Your Majesty woke up once before noon, but his spirit is still a little weak. It will take two months to get organized."

"I've heard that you've investigated the matter of servants in the mansion, and you're more flexible than your moji lord." Princess Yongjia folded her palms together and said a Buddha's name in a low voice: "It's thanks to your marriage The gate of Jinglinghou's mansion, otherwise Sima Junhou would have already..."

It was already cold.

"Ahem..." Princess Yongjia cleared her throat casually, and swallowed those unlucky words in time: "What did Mr. Huaiying say, did you find out where the source is? I brought back a doctor from Dunshui , I have a deep understanding of poisons, the old man is too old to take a fast carriage, but he can probably come here before sunset."

"Then thank you, Ma'am," Cao Hui frowning slightly, made a gesture of invitation to the intersection on the right, and said in a warm voice, "Let's go to Anhe Juli and talk about it..."
