Chapter 727: This is...that Medicine?
"Madam...ah..." Seeing that Madam Tai was about to send someone to check again, Mrs. Jiang, the Duke of Xingguo, felt anxious. She rolled her eyes and fainted again. She just scanned her eyes and found a person. Surprisingly, the lady brought not many people, only four or five. If someone came to carry the couch, at least these servants could be taken away.
No one can check, so that I can have some time to relax.
"Madam... Madam, nothing is going to happen to you!" Mother Sheng, who had taken Jiang's hint, said loudly and quickly, and turned her head and begged to the Madam, "Madam, can you have someone carry the Madam out first? ...If you stay here any longer, Madam will be in really bad shape!"
"Come here, please carry the couch!" The madam frowned and ordered.
The maid and mother-in-law who were about to look behind them all stopped. It seemed that the couch could not be lifted by two people.
Although it was a simple couch, the maids and mothers-in-law who came over all looked thin and not very strong. They had to stand two or three people on each side to lift it.
"Madam, I'm afraid it's hard to lift the second aunt's couch. It's better to put the second aunt on the wide stool over there. It will be easier and faster to move it." Shao Wanru stretched out his hand and pointed at the corner. A long spring stool said.
The long spring bench is sometimes used as a small altar. It is a bit wider than the ordinary spring bench. There will be no problem if a person lies on it. It is also much smaller and lighter than the couch. There are so many, if one person lifts his head, another person lifts his feet, and there is another person in the middle to protect him, there will definitely be no problem.
The madam looked at it, nodded, and thought this was a good idea: "Come here, please carry the madam to the spring bench!"
When Aunt Sheng saw the size of the spring stool, she felt resentful and anxious, but at the moment she was at a loss and didn't know how to respond, so she reached out and took Jiang's hand as a hint.
Jiang, whose eyes were closed but whose ears were always listening, clenched his teeth with hatred that it was Shao Wanru, that cheap girl, who had ruined her again.
Two women had already come over to carry her, and they carefully wrapped her in a quilt and carried her to the spring bench.
Just when Ms. Jiang was about to pretend that she accidentally fell off the spring bench, she was held down by the corners of the quilt on both sides. She even tried to roll but couldn't get off for a while.
"Madam, it's better to ask Grandma Sheng to take the second aunt back. You can stay here and continue to investigate!" Shao Wanru's voice was very soft and gentle, but when it fell in the ears of Mrs. Jiang, the Duke of Xingguo, she almost immediately hated her. Open your eyes and bite her hard several times.
The madam nodded and sent two men back.
Yujie stood in the middle and helped Jiang wrap the quilt again, and then stepped aside. Jiang would be "fainted" now, and if he kept it flat when he lifted it, it wouldn't fall down again.
The two women carried the person away one after another. Grandma Sheng hurriedly followed with tears. The doctor also followed behind to prescribe a prescription. There was no pen, ink, paper and inkstone here, so he couldn't prescribe a prescription.
Although Ms. Jiang, who was lying on the spring stool, wanted to make Fa Zi stay, she had to leave at this time. Feeling that the spring stool under her was being lifted further and further away, Ms. Jiang was anxious, but she had no choice but to do anything.
"Madam, madam, what do you think this is?" A woman shouted and came out from behind carrying a small piece of oil paper.
It looks like oil paper for wrapping things. There are mud stains on the outside, but there are faint traces of white powder on the inside. It must have been filled with some white powder.
"Where did it come from?" Madam Tai asked with a cold expression.
"My slave went to the back and saw traces of fresh digging under a tree, so he dug up the soil again and saw a piece of oil paper underneath."
The mother-in-law said, raising the oil paper in her hand, and a strange medicinal smell came out of the air.
Shao Wanru took a step back and put a handkerchief in front of his nose to block it.
"Miss, this... you won't be poisoned by just smelling this!" Yu Jie whispered, not loudly, but enough for Shao Yanru next to her to hear.
Shao Yanru stepped back a few steps and covered her mouth with her handkerchief. Her body couldn't bear it now. She didn't know what vicious tricks her mother and Concubine Shu would come up with. Her body couldn't be hurt anymore.
Seeing that they both stepped back, sisters Shao Caihuan and Shao Cailing looked at each other and then stepped back. They were not stupid. The oil paper was not good at first glance, otherwise they would not be caught. Buried.
It seems like my second aunt is causing trouble again!
Aunt Zheng did not retreat, but looked to Aunt Xi aside: "Does Aunt Xi know what this is? Have you ever seen such a thing in the palace?"
What she said was extremely provocative, with a bit of arrogance, as if Aunt Xi didn't understand and she was trying to teach her.
Aunt Xi frowned and was not happy. Although she wanted to make friends with Aunt Zheng, she did it for the sake of the Queen. At the moment, Aunt Zheng said that she had little knowledge. She was someone close to the Queen, so how could she do it? I don’t know, it’s not just her, but also the Queen’s face.
Stepping forward, looking at the oil paper, and then smelling the smell on it, Grandma Xi thought about it for a while, then her face changed drastically, and she suddenly looked at Grandma Zheng and said with a trembling voice, "Is this... that medicine? "
She suddenly remembered a past incident that happened in the palace. Chronic poison poisoned a beloved concubine in the former palace. At that time, the queen was still the princess, and Aunt Xi was still a nun in the palace who followed the princess. .
The reason why she remembers it is because the princess was also involved in this matter at first, and the matter was almost pointed out to the princess, and she was even locked up in a cold palace in the palace for this. At that time, the princess was almost deposed. , even if such a thing has passed for a long time, Grandma Xi will never forget it.
The late emperor's beloved concubine who was poisoned to death was eventually found to have been poisoned by someone.
"It should be that medicine. The late emperor's concubine... died because of it!" Aunt Zheng said vaguely, which of course meant that she also knew about it.
"But why is there such poison in Duke Xingguo's mansion?" Aunt Zheng asked puzzledly, and the meaning of her words was obvious.
"Mrs. Tai, why is there such poison in Duke Xingguo's palace?" Aunt Xi turned around and looked at Mrs. Tai with a gloomy face and asked.
"Is this poison?" The lady was startled and asked.
"This should be the poison that was poisoned by your lady, but I don't know who buried it behind the scenes, and who put the poison in Mrs. Xingguo's food? This poison... is related to what happened in the palace back then!" Aunt Xi He stared at the lady closely and said.
Although the incident that year was later solved and the other concubine who poisoned this beloved concubine was found, but many years later, this kind of poison actually appeared again. How could Grandma Xi not pay attention.
The madam's heart skipped a beat, her face changed drastically, she looked at the paper bag containing the poison, then at Aunt Xi, she gritted her teeth and said bitterly: "Please come with me, Auntie!"
Jiang had already left, and she couldn't ask even if she wanted to.
Shao Wanru glanced at Shao Yanru and saw that she just lowered her head and covered her nose with a handkerchief without saying a word, and a hint of darkness flashed in her eyes.
Sure enough, as he had guessed, Shao Yanru knew how to protect himself wisely and would never take any more risks for the Jiang family.
Originally, this was within her calculations, and she had to deal with them one by one. Now, she first broke off one of Jiang's arms, and then restrained Jiang's hands and feet.
It’s been three years, I’ve been waiting for three years, it’s time to take action!
Mrs. Tai took everyone to the Spring Hall Courtyard where she lived. She had asked people to carry Mrs. Xingguo to her yard. She originally thought that Mrs. Xingguo's actions at that time were strange, and she wanted to ask her what she was doing in this situation. Even if she didn't want Aunt Xi and others to follow her, she couldn't say it out loud. A moment ago, Aunt Xi made it clear that the matter had something to do with the palace.
Since it is related to matters in the palace, even if it has been a long time ago, Mrs. Tai cannot wait and wait for it. She only hopes that Jiang is smart, but must not lead the matter to Duke Xingguo's mansion.
Mrs. Xingguo Gong had woken up at this time and was resting in a spare room. She heard a sound at the courtyard door and saw a group of people waiting to come to her from the window. The sharp look in his eyes made him panic immediately.
Grabbing the panicked Aunt Sheng who couldn't stand, Ms. Jiang calmed herself down and said, "Aunt Sheng, don't worry, I will be kind to your family and find a decent job for your youngest son. , you will give your one-month-old grandson a longevity lock of gold, and you will also give each of your two sons a yard!"
"Madam!" Aunt Sheng knelt down with a startled "plop", her face pale.
"Don't worry, I will never make a mistake. If I make a mistake, I will die badly. But if you don't... you know that even if something happens to me, your whole family... probably won't survive!" Jiang Shi looked at Aunt Sheng coldly, with threats in her eyes. At this time, she could not think of any other way.
"Madam... old slave... old slave..." Sister Sheng choked with tears, frightened and panicked. She really regretted it at this time. If she had known that she would never take those things, let alone let them go. Mrs. Xingguo accepted the offer. Now she wanted to find her as a scapegoat, but she couldn't refuse.
Her youngest son is still young and has not yet been married, but he is engaged. She is really worried. Her eldest grandson has just been born. He is chubby and cute at the right time. She still wants to earn a good share for her. property, but now she had to accept it.
If she doesn't accept it, the madam will blame it on herself, and her family may lose her life because of her. Grandma Sheng doesn't dare to bet. She can't afford to bet. How dare she take the life of her whole family? !
"Madam... I hope madam will not forget what you said today!" Mother Sheng wiped away her tears and said bitterly.
At this time, she had no way out.
"Don't worry, I will never break my promise to let your little son follow An'er. He is in need of a smart boy!" Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Xingguo, promised.
"Madam, don't worry, I will do as I please!"
"If this matter can be blamed on Shao Wanru, I will not only promise a future for your descendants, but I will also reward them heavily so that they will have enough food and clothing for the rest of their lives!"
Mother Sheng's tears fell again, but she wiped them away again, stood up on the bed, and looked towards the door.
The door was pushed open heavily, and the Madam stood angrily at the door and looked at Mr. Jiang inside. There was a coldness in her eyes that Mr. Jiang could understand...
