Da Suining

Chapter 154 Waiting for Death
"Mother doesn't have to be like this." Tang Xiaoniang swallowed a mouthful of celery, and then ate a mouthful of rice in a hurry: "How can it be a rumor? These days Princess Guo goes to the palace every day to invite the imperial doctor, and the imperial doctor in the imperial hospital is taken by her. I have asked for it all over, but unfortunately none of the prescriptions are useful, and those folks who are a little better in medicine have also been to Changxinhou's Mansion, and they all say that they are hopeless, are they going to die?"

"You sneaked out again."

"I...I...I just went out yesterday evening to find out the limelight, and contacted a few adults with good medical skills. In case something happens to our house, I won't be cramming."

"It's rare for you to think that if you don't go out, you will save trouble for the Fuchu."

Mrs. Xiang and Tang Xiaoniang fought with spears against knives.

Others eat what they should eat and drink what they should drink. They are already used to this kind of scene.

Xiang Suining dropped his chopsticks, and his mother-in-law handed him a new pair.

She held the chopsticks and wanted to pick up a bamboo shoot, but her hands were shaking so badly that she couldn't pick it up.

"Suining, what's wrong with you?" Madam Xiang held her hand.

I don't want Mrs. Xiang to worry.

Xiang Suining pretended to be calm, put down the chopsticks, and took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth: "I'm full, grandma."

Tang Xiaoniang said coldly: "It's just talking about the plague. Look, it scares the second girl. I can't eat anymore. I used to think that the second girl was a brave child. Looking at it now, I'm not as brave as that." Where are the three girls?"

"This is not the time to be timid, it is always right to be cautious."

Tang Xiaoniang wanted to argue again, but Xiang Daying kicked her under the table.

Why isn't a good meal delicious?It's crazy, and it's addictive.

"I remember, the son of Changxinhou's mansion, Lan Tui, is two or three years older than our second and third girls, and he is a vigorous child." Mrs. Xiang put down her bowl and chopsticks and recalled: "After he became a guard, Didn't you come to our mansion before? He looks good and has good martial arts. He is a good boy. When Princess Guo married Chang Xinhou, Chang Xinhou was just a small official in the library of the palace. After getting married, having this son is naturally a precious thing. If it is about money, the Changxinhou Mansion can't spend it all. It's a pity that this child has not been in good health since he was a child, and he is weaker than other children. Later, he learned martial arts. , he was a little stronger, but unexpectedly, he contracted this plague, it's really pitiful."

Library.

When Xiang Suining heard these three words, it was as if a beam of light shone into his heart.

She got up to leave.

Xiang Daying said, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to Changxinhou Mansion."

"Mother, it's you who spoiled the second girl. When will she go to Changxinhou's mansion, but there is no plague. If she goes to the house of a girl rashly, won't she lose the face of the Xiang family? "

Mrs. Xiang always listened to Xiang Suining: "Suining wants to go, so there is a reason why she wants to go."

There was a bowl of spicy fried clams on the table. Xiangyan picked up a clam, pouted and sucked the soup in the clam shell, then threw the clam shell on the table, picked up a white towel and cleaned her hands: "I am a person who likes to eat Yes, unlike our second girl who always misses people."

This is very obvious.

"If the mansion doesn't want to cause trouble, let me go to Changxinhou's mansion." Xiang Suining was neither humble nor overbearing.

"Why, Lan Tuanruo is dead, and the Changxinhou Mansion is still making trouble for us?" Xiangyan snorted coldly.

"Whether the Marquis of Changxin will trouble us, don't you know?"

"How do you say this? Tell me in detail?" Xiang Daying looked at Xiang Suining's firm attitude, thinking that there might be an inside story in it.

"Do you still remember that night at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet? The third girl caused trouble in the busy city, and she was in trouble. It was Master Xiaolan who rescued her. At that time, Master Xiaolan was injured in order to rescue her. Later, Xiaolan Master Lan just fell ill, and it hasn’t recovered until now, how do you know that there is nothing serious about it? If Master Xiaolan has something bad or bad, will the princess find out about all this, will he cause trouble for us?”

"Nonsense." Tang Xiaoniang was a little dissatisfied: "Even if he helped Yan'er, he didn't ask him to help. He just wanted to see my Yan'er's beauty. What kind of plans did he have? If he dies, what will happen to us? what relationship?"

"Young lady, it's better to keep it and tell Princess Guo. Once Mrs. Xiaolan is gone, Princess Guo will be heartbroken. After listening to my little lady's words, the princess doesn't know what will happen."

Tang Xiaoniang took a bun, sucked the soup inside, and blocked her mouth.

Annoyed that Xiangyan caused trouble that night, Lan Tui helped again.

One must know that Lan Tui was fine after patrolling Qingcheng for a few days, but after helping Xiang Yan, he became very ill.

Anyone can draw something out of it, let alone a princess.

At that time, if Princess Guo blames Xiang Yan, how can she bear it at such a young age?

It's just that they don't understand what Xiang Suining is going to do in Changxinhou's Mansion.

"Suining, it's dangerous outside, do you really want to go?" Mrs. Xiang was always worried.

"Grandma, I'll be more careful."

"You are not allowed to go out, but if you want to go out, you will implicate us again." Xiang Daying muttered.

Tang Xiaoniang pulled his arm in time: "If the second girl wants to go, let her go. When you arrive at Changxinhou's mansion, the second girl will talk about it. After all, there is a lot of trouble in this mansion, and I can't leave. When you go to court, you have to listen to orders at home, your siblings are still young, and your grandmother is also old, so it is most suitable for you to go."

The carriage is already harnessed.

In order to save money and avoid disasters, Tang Xiaoniang also prepared a small gift.Mrs. Xiang also took out a box of treasured ganoderma: "I don't give this ganoderma away to apologize, it's all because Lan Tui is a good boy, and now he is so sick, I don't know if this ganoderma is useful or not. It's all on my mind."

The servant carried a small gift prepared by Tang Xiaoniang into the car, and also loaded the brocade box containing the Ganoderma lucidum into the car.

Soon arrived at Changxinhou Mansion.

Strangely, this time, Changxinhou's Mansion was not closed.

Standing on the steps at the door and looking in, you can see the tall shadow wall.There are small bridges and flowing water on the screen wall, and there are some mossy rocks. Under the rocks, there are a few porcelain pots. The pots are filled with half-person-high cactus and a few clusters of blooming flowers. Layers upon layers, such exuberant vitality can poke its head out from the cracks in the stones.

The servants of Changxinhou's mansion stood at the door with their heads bowed, one on each side, seeming a little dejected.

I ran into someone wearing a third-rank official uniform by chance, and took his family to the princess mansion.

After a while, another man in a fourth-rank official uniform brought his wife in.

The boy was at the door, took the greeting card and sent it in. After a while, he invited all the adults in.

Seeing a girl from Suining came to the house, he asked, "What's the matter, girl?"

"We are in the prime minister's residence, and the prime minister is here to visit." Mingzhu replied.

The boy went in again to communicate, and after a while he made a gesture of please.

Through the screen wall, you can see the nine-curved corridor in front of you.

There is a maid leading the way, passing through a luxuriant flower bush, passing through two hanging flower gates, and saw the princess.

On the lower head of the princess, there are two face-to-face ladies, one is wearing a cardigan with a blessing pattern, and a hairpin with the eight treasures and a blessing, and the other is wearing a dark purple long skirt and wearing a high bun.

The two took turns to comfort Princess Guo: "Princess, please relax and take care of your body. If you don't eat or drink like this, Miss Xier will be sad too."

The princess was in Lan Fade's bedroom, she was sitting by the window, the snacks and tea in front of her remained unmoved, she seemed to have heard the consolation of the two ladies, but she didn't seem to hear, but she didn't answer, and looked at the , the eyes are very empty.

"Princess, use some of it." The serving maid whispered, "Princess has not had any tea for a day, how can she bear it?"

"Tu'er hasn't had tea for two days, how can he bear it?" The princess lowered her head, the steps in her hair swayed with the dark sky, her eyes were red, and she couldn't cry in front of outsiders , just covered his eyes with a handkerchief: "Recently, there has been a lot of wind and sand in Qingcheng. I always feel that the weather is very cloudy. In the past, I would not let Tuer go to work in this kind of weather. Maybe, in the future, Tuer will never have to work again." Bar?"

The maid is not easy to answer.

Xiang Suining came to the princess and saluted the princess.

Light blue wide-sleeved shirt, floor-length pleated skirt embroidered with daffodils, gray palace sash around the waist, black hair hanging behind the shoulders, only casually tied, and a silver hairpin was inserted into the rolled-up hair bun.

Sober and indifferent.

The princess nodded, asked her to get up, gave her a brocade stool, and served tea to the maid: "Thank you for thinking about it, first Mr. Zhang, Mr. Li is also here, Chang Xinhou is waiting for guests in the main hall, can you come?" , It’s considered intentional. Go back and tell your parents, I will remember this love.”

The princess's voice was hoarse, and she had cried several times behind her back.

The atmosphere in the bedroom was oppressive, and everyone didn't dare to make too much noise, for fear of shocking Lan Fa.

Maybe he couldn't be surprised anymore, he hadn't woken up for more than a day, since Xiang Suining left that day, he collapsed on the bed with a bang, his forehead was burning hot, and gradually he couldn't wake up even when he called out.

It seems that the smell in the bedroom has changed a bit, because the smell of medicine has faded.

"Master Xiaolan has taken the medicine today?"

The princess' maid shook her head: "Since today, the young master has not been given medicine."

The princess sighed: "Since there is no one to save Tu'er, why not let him go in a decent way, those medicines are so bitter that I can't bear to let him drink them, they are useless medicines anyway. "

Xiang Suining didn't answer, she couldn't bear to interrupt this motherly love.

The princess told the maid again: "Go outside and cut some flowers, cut the most fragrant ones to put in vases, and put them on the bedside of the young master. You can't let the young master go there with the smell of medicine. The smell of medicine is probably from him. If you don’t like it, it’s better to have some fragrance, let him go on the road fragrantly, he always likes to be clean.”

The princess spoke so sadly that the eyes of the two ladies next to her were also red.

Xiang Suining was probably the only one in this group who was still sober.

"Princess, can I see Lord Xiaolan?"

Her words made the princess a little puzzled. The dignified second lady of Xiangfu said in front of everyone that she wanted to see Lan Fai, and that men and women could not kiss each other. not safe.

"Do you really want to see him? I'm afraid you will be in danger."

"I'm not afraid of danger."

"Then... you can watch it if you want." Princess Guo was a little helpless.

She only thought that Xiang Suining was in love with Lan Tui. You know, Lan Tui is talented and beautiful. I don't know how many noble girls in Qingcheng fall in love with him. Fortunately, the princess is tight, and he is guarding day and night all day long. The two wives, one of them's daughter, also had a shy look at Lan Tui and didn't sleep well for half a month.

Usually, which girl dares to say to look at Lan Fai, Princess Guo will definitely stop her.

The current situation is not as good as before.

Just like that noble lady who hadn't slept well for half a month, knew that Lan was sick, didn't she dare to show her head?
Princess Guo admired Xiang Suining's courage.

Does she care about nothing?Just to take a look at Lan Fade?
It's all this time, there is nothing that can't be fulfilled.

"Go and see." Princess Guo confessed that a maid had already lifted the curtains of the bedroom and hung them on the golden hooks, and lifted the brocade curtains on Lan Tui's bed.

The moment the brocade tent was opened, the two ladies stood up in shock: "We have been bothering the princess for a long time, it is inconvenient to sit down, let's go back first."

The princess nodded.

It is human nature to be afraid of death.

Don't blame them.

Didn't the people who came to visit the mansion in the past few days also come and leave in a hurry?Compared with those stools that were not covered with heat, the two of them stayed for a long time.

Lan Tuo lay there with a porcelain pillow, eyes closed, long eyelashes unmoved, lips pale, one hand by his side, still maintaining his posture of drawing a knife.

If he can't save him this time, it will be a farewell in this life, right?

In the last life, Lan Fai didn't die from the plague, and there was no plague in the last life.

In this life, has Lan Tui's fate changed?
Xiang Suining knelt down and felt Lan Tui's pulse.

Very weak, so weak that it is almost impossible to understand.

The imperial physicians were right, preparing for the funeral was just around the corner.

"Miss Xiang knows medical skills?" The princess was a little surprised, but also a little hopeful, she didn't know what to look forward to.

"I know a little bit, and I have read a few medical books."

"Oh." There was a small flame in the princess's heart, and it was extinguished in an instant: "In Xuanguo, there are not many women who understand medicine. Some of them also treat women's diseases."

"Master Xiaolan.... His pulse is weak."

"I know."

"What is the princess going to do?"

"There is no other way, except to wait for death." The princess raised her head, trying to let the tears flow back: "I was born as a man of gold and jade, and never knew that there is such a thing as waiting for death. At first, I didn't believe it, but now, I have to accept my fate. There is no other way but to wait for death."

"I have a way, which is also my delusion. I don't know if it can save Lord Xiaolan's life."

"Do you have a solution?" Princess Guo was so excited that she stood up on the table, walked around Xiang Suining twice before sitting down with her head supported: "Just now you said...you have a solution?"

"Yes."

"What can you do, tell me quickly. If you can really save Tuer, I'll give you whatever you want, as long as I have it, it's nothing to worry about. "
