famous poison doctor

Chapter 102
Seeing that this person was more sensible, Jing Zhaoyin nodded and said: "This kind of slave will not be tolerated. I have already sentenced him to [-] boards. After the execution, you can take it back and hand it over."

"Then it's up to Mr. Lao." The manager said respectfully.

Xia Lie took the money for compensation, and kept thanking the little beggar Gou Sheng. Gou Sheng waved his hand indifferently, and said, "Okay, there's nothing else for me. I'm going to continue begging for food." He left, but judging from his actions, he looked like a street hooligan, but what he did had to be admired.

"Li Mutou, is it because Xia's neighbors dare not testify that you found that dog?" Fang Qingluo asked.

Li Mucheng nodded: "Neighbors of the Xia family were afraid of offending the Zhou family, saying that the master of the Zhou family was a member of the third rank. Later, someone said that it was the little beggar who sent Master Xia to the medical clinic that day. He would definitely be able to testify for the Xia family. He was found after asking around in places where beggars gathered in the city."

"Very good, there will be a reward when I go back." Fang Qingluo said with satisfaction. After coming down a few times, she found that Li Mucheng was good at handling things and knew how to be flexible. Came home empty handed.

Upon hearing this, Li Mucheng hurriedly said: "The young one dare not ask for a reward, the princess saved the lives of our family of three, and we are reborn with kindness, it is right to do things for the princess."

Fang Qingluo nodded, she was a grateful person, she didn't say anything more, if Li Mucheng's leg could be cured, it would make him happier than any reward.

"Are you saying that the young master of the Zhou family really doesn't know about this? Why don't I feel like the steward did it in private?" Wang Hanxuan frowned and asked in a low voice.

"I don't believe it either. It's obvious that Zhou Yudong wanted to steal other people's famous paintings, and the manager was just paying for his crimes. This kind of thing is too common." Dou Wenyan said angrily.

Fang Qingluo patted her on the shoulder and said: "You also said that it is common, why bother to get to the bottom of it, if it really happened to Zhou Yudong, this case would not be so easy to understand, I am afraid that by then the Xia family and his son You have to suffer, your arms can't twist your thighs, and we help people have to consider the actual situation."

Dou Wenyan blushed when she heard this, "I was just too impulsive. I just wanted to help others, but I didn't think about it that deeply. In the future, you should remind me more, so that I can change my reckless temper."

This is Dou Wenyan's advantage. She knows what is wrong with her and dares to admit it. She is more willing to let her friends supervise and make corrections, which is much better than some noble girls who want to save face and suffer.

Wang Hanxuan took her arm with a smile and said, "Cousin, don't worry, I will remind you more."

Fang Qingluo also nodded with a smile, she really wanted to say: Your character is very good, you don't need to change it.But she understands that in this era, especially women, they can't do their own way too much. If it's really for the good of Dou Wenyan, she shouldn't be encouraged to continue to be careless.

After the three of them finished talking, they noticed that Xia Lie hadn't left yet. He was waiting by the side with his scroll in his arms. After seeing them finish speaking, he came over to salute and said, "Thank you three ladies for your generous help. I offended you by what you said just now. I hope you three Don't be offended, lady."

Dou Wenyan immediately waved her hand and said, "It's me who should apologize, as long as your matter is settled."

It's not good for Fang Qingluo to pour cold water on everyone. The matter is not so easy to solve. That Zhou Yudong should not hold grudges, and just seek revenge from the Xia family again.

"Master Xia, hurry back and take care of your father. If you need anything else, go to Fuxian Restaurant to find me. If I'm not here, just ask the shopkeeper to send me a letter." Fang Qingluo said.

"Thank you Princess, then I'll take my leave first." Xia Lie saluted handsomely after finishing his speech, and strode away.

For a moment, Fang Qingluo felt that he was somewhat similar to the number one master Xia Lie, but when he saw this real version of Xia Lie, Fang Qingluo felt unspeakably awkward, probably that Xia Lie used to be too masculine Yes, that image has already been preconceived in her mind.

After such a toss, the world also darkened, the three said goodbye to each other and went home, Fang Qingluo also brought people back to the Mu Mansion.As soon as he entered Liuzhuju, Gu's mother hurriedly handed over a post. Fang Qingluo opened it and his face darkened.

"Princess, the post was sent by Mu Zhong. I didn't ask too much. After he left, I looked at it again. I was shocked." Mother Gu said, patting her chest.

It was none other than the Empress Dowager who posted the post. No wonder Gu's mother was taken aback.

In fact, the empress dowager should not call the post, it should be called Yizhi, but the post says that the empress dowager wants to hold a chrysanthemum appreciation banquet in the palace on the [-]th of this month, and invites the wives and noble ladies in the capital to participate.

The following post is just an elegant route, but the method is not elegant at all. Ordinary people, you can choose not to go if you have something to do, or if you are unwell, but do you dare not go because of the empress dowager's edict?

"Shaoyao, go to Aunt Wang and find out who else the Queen Mother has invited from the mansion." Fang Qingluo thought for a moment while holding the post.

"Yes, I'll go right away." Shao Yao turned and left the room.

"Ruizhu, did the Queen Mother hold this kind of banquet before?" Fang Qingluo looked at Ruizhu and asked.

Ruizhu shook his head, "The Empress Dowager has held more luxurious birthday banquets in recent years, but I have never seen a flower appreciation banquet, but I held a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet two years ago, and it was rumored afterwards that she was picking a concubine for King Lu. In the next few months, King Lu's marriage was finally settled, and King Lu got married in the second year."

"Isn't it for someone to choose a concubine this time? Who are the princes or princes of the right age in the palace?" Fang Qingluo asked.

Rui Zhu thought for a while and said: "It seems to be the eldest prince. He is 17 years old this year, but I don't think the queen mother will worry about the eldest prince's affairs. The queen mother has never been close to the eldest prince."

Fang Qingluo pondered for a moment, then sighed and said, "If it comes, it's fine, as long as it's not aimed at me."

After a while, Shaoyao came back with a bad complexion.

"Princess, I just inquired about it. The eldest lady, eldest lady, second lady, and third lady of the family all got posts, and even, even the second lady!" Shao Yao said angrily.

"What?" Gu's mother exclaimed. The second lady was sent to the family temple for reflection. She would not come out for a short time. What does it mean that the empress dowager invited the second lady at this time?
The most important thing is that I have never heard of the Queen Mother hosting a banquet for concubine daughters, and the father of the second young lady is just a marquis. What exactly is the Queen Mother trying to do?
Rui Zhu also frowned, "Princess, I'm afraid the Queen Mother is taking the opportunity to help Lu and the others, otherwise there would be such a coincidence."

Fang Qingluo remembered what the eldest princess said, and felt that what Ruizhu said made sense, but even if she knew the queen mother's intentions, could she not go?

"Okay, don't worry, everyone. Let's take one step at a time. Even if the queen mother wants to help them, she has to be careful about her face and won't do anything to me." Fang Qingluo said with a smile, "If there is really something Things, don’t you still have Uncle Huang and the Empress to help?”

After hearing Fang Qingluo's words, Gu's mother felt relieved. She thought for a while and asked Ruizhu: "Ruizhu, do you know that the Queen Mother is given a gift for this kind of banquet in the palace?"

"Generally, birthday banquets require rich gifts, but there are no such rules for flower viewing banquets." Ruizhu recalled the large and small banquets in the palace.

Fang Qingluo thought for a while and said: "My mother should prepare a gift first. If others have given gifts, I will take them out again, so as not to go empty-handed and be picked on by the Queen Mother."

"That's right, what shall we give?" Gu's mother asked worriedly, time is too tight, their background is not as rich as the family, where can I find a good gift temporarily?

Fang Qingluo smiled confidently, and said, "I have prepared for this myself, so you don't have to worry about it."

Gu's mother and the others were very curious, but Fang Qingluo deliberately didn't say anything, and they could only suppress their curiosity.

Several people were chatting, when the maid Ji Jiao outside reported that it was Lan Zhi who asked to see her, Mama Gu reminded: "Princess, I told Lan Zhi to let her come back to work in the next two days."

"Okay, let her in." Fang Qingluo said with a smile.

Lan Zhi walked in, looking good, and her legs and feet were basically recovered. Fang Qingluo asked her to only work in the house, and she didn't have to be on duty at night, which can be said to be very relaxed.

Lan Zhi wore new clothes, which were made by Fang Qingluo for the maids in the courtyard and Mother Gu. They used to be poor, and their clothes were not as good as the rough envoys of the Mu family. Now that they are rich, Fang Qingluo is not stingy. My master, naturally bought new clothes for the people in the yard, and they wore two sets at a time, and the material was much better than the ordinary maids in Mu's residence.

Probably because of recuperating and lying down a lot, Lan Zhi's figure became a bit plump, and her clothes seemed a little tight around the waist. Mother Gu looked her up and down, and said, "Lan Zhi has grown up, let Cuihua change it for you later. .”

Lan Zhi hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go find Cuihua later."

She saluted Fang Qingluo again, thanking Fang Qingluo for taking care of her during this time, and also found good medicinal materials for her, otherwise she would not be able to recover so quickly.She knows it, not to mention that the servant was beaten because of the master, even if the servant was hurt by talking back for the master, the master will not owe you. In the future, many people will care about her life and death. It is really rare to see a master who treats her wounds at a price.

Fang Qingluo asked Lan Zhi to get up with a smile, and asked her about her daily life, and then explained her future errands before continuing to talk about the previous topic.

Mother Gu is in charge of Fang Qingluo's clothes now, when she thought of going to the palace for a banquet, she hurriedly asked: "Princess, what clothes will you wear then? Do you want to make a new one? Your usual clothes are a little more plain. I’m afraid it’s not bright enough to go to the palace.”

Fang Qingluo laughed loudly, "Mom, you forgot, didn't I still have a dress at the bottom of the box?"

Shao Yao reacted quickly, "The princess said that the eldest lady sent that one?"

Fang Qingluo nodded with a smirk, "Didn't I tell you that at the time? Good things have to be used on the knife edge to stimulate people."
