Wanqingsi

Chapter 145 Assassination
Probably my falling into the water made the palace jump for a while. The Queen Mother didn't announce me to see me these two days, but sent the palace people to bring a lot of medicinal materials and supplements.Wei Xiang knew about the matter in the palace, and sent someone to bring the tonic, which made me more sure that the falling into the water incident was planned by Concubine De Gui alone, but now, Wei Xiang may have doubts about my identity again, right?Yunzheng forced me to drink the anti-cold medicine prescribed by the imperial physician, but I refused to take it. Later, Mr. Fu changed the prescription slightly and assured me that it would not cause serious harm to the fetus, so I was willing to take it.

Yun Zheng didn't say anything about my falling into the water incident, and he didn't let me know what he did, but in the past two days, I can faintly feel some fluctuations in his emotions.He often stays in the study recently, his complexion is getting worse and worse recently, I forced him to rest, but he only smiled at me gently with a pale face.In front of me, he was willing to lie down on the couch, and he got up as soon as I turned around, which made me very angry every time.

Seeing that Yunzheng was fast asleep on the couch, I sat for a long time to make sure he wasn't pretending to be asleep, so I stood up and walked out of the study lightly.Going to the kitchen to look at the medicine boiled for Yunzheng, and ordered the maid who made the medicine to watch the fire carefully, looked up and saw the cook made a plate of almond cake and put it on the desk, and said angrily, "Jinsha wants to eat this sweet thing again?"

The cook smiled and said, "Young Madam, Miss Jin Sha said it was for Fu Sheng."

"You can also help her coax me." I smiled and shook my head, "I don't know about her girl, she is changing her teeth recently, and if she eats this again, she will feel better if she has a toothache."

The cook smiled "hehe", I picked up the plate of almond cakes, and said with a smile: "I'll take it, and let's see if those two little devils are doing well in their studies."

Stepping into the small courtyard where Jinsha lived, I saw two children listening to Master Song reciting poems: "...this song is sad and resentful, and the sound of the flute breaks one's heart..."

But I heard Jinsha say in surprise: "How do people's intestines break?"

Mr. Song's face turned green, he held back his breath and explained: "This poem is about hearing the sad sound of the flute and feeling sad and painful..."

"It won't break no matter how painful it is..." Fu Sheng chimed in, "This is totally unreasonable."

I couldn't help laughing, Mr. Song was full of black lines, he threw down the book angrily, and said angrily: "You two children, why are you so messing around?"

I saw that Jinsha was about to speak again unconvinced, so I hurried forward with a smile: "Mr. Song."

When he saw me walking in, he quickly stood up and saluted: "Young Madam."

"Sir, you've worked hard, let's give them a day off today." I smiled.The two children cheered, and Mr. Song said helplessly, "Yes, Young Madam, I will take my leave."

Seeing that Mr. Song left, Jin Sha ran up to me, staring at the almond cake in my hand with bright eyes: "Sister Ahua, did you bring me some almond cake?"

"I won't give it to you little naughty ghost." I sat down with a straight face, "Why are you two so angry with Mr.?"

The two little ghosts stuck out their tongues, and Jin Sha stuck to me coquettishly: "Sister Ahua, Mr. Song's class is not interesting at all, it's not as good as the story my sister told me, why not tell us a story. "

"If you don't study hard, don't listen to stories in the future, you won't even eat almond cakes." I sullenly pretended to be angry.The two brats were bluffed by me, Jin Sha murmured: "Sister, don't be angry, Jin Sha won't dare to make husband angry in the future."

"I don't dare either." Fu Sheng lowered his head and quickly admitted his mistake.Fusheng is now studying with Jinsha in the Hou Mansion.Aunt Zhou bumped into Wei Xiang in the Hou's residence that day, and brought Fusheng to the Hou's residence the next day, but she changed her mind and agreed to Fusheng's study in the Hou's residence.I don't know if it was the shock that seeing Wei Xiang brought her, which made her seriously think about Fu Sheng's future.After that day, I sent someone to Jeju to inquire about Wei Xiang's life experience, and asked people to keep an eye on Aunt Zhou. As expected, I found that Aunt Zhou often hangs around outside Xiang's house recently, presumably to confirm the suspicion in my heart.I suggestively reminded her that that person was Wei Xiang, not the lover she had in mind, so don't have any hopes for him.But they can't make it too clear. After all, Wei Xiang's fake identity can't be exposed yet, and he can be regarded as "Wei Jinlan". At least Aunt Zhou, mother and child will not be implicated by him when something happens to him.It seems that Aunt Zhou didn't understand my suggestion. If she insists on confirming Wei Xiang's identity, I'm afraid that he will kill their mother and child now. Wei Xiang's handle is more threatening than Qin Xianglian's.

"It's better if you really don't dare." I just smiled and handed them the almond cakes. The two children happily grabbed and ate them. Seeing their anxious faces, I couldn't help laughing and said, "Slow down!" Eat, and no one will grab you, Jinsha, you are changing your teeth, so you can't eat too much."

"Hmm..." Jinsha nodded repeatedly with almond cake wrapped in her mouth.Fusheng ate a few pieces of almond cake, and then as if he remembered something, he took out a crumpled piece of paper from his arms, handed it to me and said, "Sister Ye, my mother asked me to give it to you!"

"What is it?" I took it.Fu Sheng blushed: "I don't know, when I went out today, my mother asked me to hand it over to you after class."

I unfolded the paper, and there were a few crooked lines written on the paper, which must have been written by Aunt Zhou. In ancient times, commoner women could not read many words, and Aunt Zhou could write a few words, which was probably taught by her old lover.After reading those few lines, my expression changed: "Fusheng, what else did Aunt Zhou say when she gave you this piece of paper?"

While biting the almond cake, Fu Sheng said inarticulately: "My mother told me to listen to Sister Ye from now on, to be good in the Hou Mansion, and not to be naughty..."

I stood up suddenly and pulled Fusheng up: "Go, go home and have a look."

Seeing my face change drastically, Fusheng said in a daze, "Sister Ye, what's wrong?"

I was pinching the piece of paper, and my fingertips turned white. It said on the piece of paper: Mrs. Yun, my concubine’s fortune is poor, and my relationship with Fusheng’s mother and child is over. Please take good care of Fusheng for me in the future, my concubine. Grass title ring, to repay my wife's great kindness. "

The carriage was galloping all the way, I dragged Fusheng into the alley where Zhou's family lived, pushed open the courtyard door, the courtyard was quiet, I raised my voice, "Aunt Zhou? Aunt Zhou?" No one answered, Fusheng called I said "Mother" twice, but no one answered. I led Fusheng by the hand and pushed open the door of the main room, but there was no one in the room.Walking to Aunt Zhou's dormitory, I just opened the door when I suddenly saw a pair of feet dangling in front of my eyes. I screamed and quickly covered Fu Sheng's eyes, but Fu Sheng had already seen it. Call out: "Mother..."

Tie Wei rushed in, saw this, was slightly taken aback, and quickly put down Aunt Zhou who was hanging on the beam, Yun Gan probed her breath, and said in a deep voice, "It's been a long time."

"Mother..." Fusheng rushed forward, hugged Aunt Zhou, and burst into tears, "Mother, why did you abandon Fusheng..., mother..., why..."

I covered my chest, feeling a little breathless, and shook my body, Yun Gan hurriedly supported me: "Young Madam..."

"Where's Yun Xun? Let him come to see me!" I felt cold, walked up to Fu Sheng, squatted down, "Fu Sheng..."

"Mother..., mother..." He didn't seem to hear me calling him, and he just cried bitterly while hugging Aunt Zhou's body. When Yun Xun walked in, I stood up, walked out of Aunt Zhou's bedroom, and stepped into the yard. He whispered angrily: "Didn't I tell you to let people stare at her? How could you let her..."

"Young Madam, those who stare at him can only stare outside, and cannot know what is going on in the house." Yun Xun said.I said in a deep voice, "Has anyone ever been to Zhou's house?"

"No." Yun Xun said, "but she went to the Prime Minister's Mansion last night and stayed there for a long time, and never went out again after she came back. She didn't go out to set up a stall this morning either. After sending Fu Sheng out, she went back to the house , never came out again.”

"Did she go to Xiangfu last night?" I clenched my lips.Alright, dear Wei, what did you do to Aunt Zhou to make her want to commit suicide?What a clever Wei Xiang, I thought he would kill her after seeing her, but I didn't expect him to kill her so cleverly that he actually made her commit suicide!

"Young Madam, do you want to report to the officials?" Yun Gan asked.

"Yes. Let the government see if Aunt Zhou really committed suicide." I bit my lip.Yun Xun said: "Young Madam, people from the government are here, it may be inconvenient for you to be here, Yun Xun will send you back!"

Yes, if Wei Xiang knows that I have intervened in Aunt Zhou's case, I'm afraid he will think that I already know his secret. .I turned around and went into the dormitory. Fusheng was crying so hard that his voice was hoarse. I hugged him distressedly: "Fusheng, go back to the Hou Mansion with Sister Ye. Sister sends someone to prepare for the aunt's funeral..."

He shook his head, but refused to let go.I sighed: "Yun Gan, you stay here with him, Yun Xun, ask someone to notify the government." Turning my head to look at Fu Sheng, I saw that there were no tears in his eyes, he was just holding his mother's dead body blankly, I stood up sadly, went out of the room, and got into the carriage.

Sitting in the car, I clenched my fists thinking of the scene where Fusheng hugged Aunt Zhou and cried bitterly, Xiang Wei!Wei Xiang!What did you use to force Aunt Zhou to commit suicide?Did he take advantage of the love of this infatuated woman, or something else?You actually treat a woman who loves you so infatuatedly, do you still have humanity?
My thoughts were racing, and my head throbbed with anger.The carriage suddenly shook violently, and then I heard the clanging of swords and the panicked screams of pedestrians outside the carriage. I opened the curtain and saw four masked men in sackcloth besieging Yun Xun with all their strength. The street was in chaos, pedestrians dodged without a trace in an instant, only Yun Xun fought fiercely with the four sackclothed masked men in the empty street, surrounded by bursts of cold swords, lights and swords, the martial arts of the four people were obvious It was extremely high, and Yun Xun was obviously powerless with one block and four. Suddenly, the flickering light circle burst open like a galaxy raining down, shattered into countless fragments, and spread out in all directions.Covered in blood, Yun Xun blocked the scattered fragments of light and shadow, turned around and said sharply: "Young madam, drive away!"

Suddenly I came back to my senses, climbed out of the carriage, grabbed the reins, and hurried the frightened horse to a gallop.In the blink of an eye, one of the four people jumped out, and the long sword in his hand was stabbing at me with a sharp sword aura.I felt the sword energy shake the hair on my forehead, and a strong pressure acted as a hood, and I was suddenly weak and unable to move.That sword seems to contain the power to destroy all things, and it stabs straight at my throat!
