Chapter 574 Strange Hua Lao (please subscribe!)
It has been quite a while since Xiaodan came back to report, Mrs. Zhang and the others were also anxiously waiting. Zhang Jinyu originally wanted to send Xiaodan to call again, but as soon as Xiaodan walked to the door, she backed away and shouted with a smile: "Master is here!"

When Zhang Twelve came in, he saw that Mrs. Zhang had been waiting for a long time, so he said embarrassedly, "Mother, I kept you waiting!"

Then he pulled Mou Xiaoxiao, and said with a smile: "It's all my brother's fault, he's too thin-skinned, he doesn't even want to come and eat with us! Let me be soft and hard, at least I'm here!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Jinyu looked at each other, and then suddenly realized, no wonder Zhang Twelve dawdled in the daytime, it was because of him!

But considering this guy's original shy behavior, even eating in the house behind his back, I feel relieved after thinking about it.

Mrs. Zhang nodded to Zhang Twelve and said, "It's okay, just come here!"

Then he looked at Mou Xiaoxiao and said, "Mr. Mou, you are Twelve's elder brother, and Twelve is my adopted son. After all, we are all one family. You don't have to be so restrained in the Zhang family!"

Mou Xiaoxiao didn't have to worry about the makeup on her face being seen through, so she didn't lower her head, held her head up, and although she didn't answer, she smiled and nodded at Mrs. Zhang, which flattered Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Jinyu After all, compared to Mou Xiaoxiao's original behavior, this is already very rare.

But Mou Xiaoxiao pinched Zhang Twelve in a hidden corner: Why did you use me as a shield when you came late?hateful?
But Mr. Zhang, who was sitting by the side, looked at Zhang Twelve and snorted coldly, but his voice was too small to be heard by anyone. Now he is a bit similar to Ah Q's spiritual victory method, and he no longer dares to face it directly. With Zhang Twelve Gang, I can only complain silently about his hateful behavior of disrespecting the old and loving the young...

...............

During the meal, Mrs. Zhang looked at Zhang Twelve, hesitated to speak several times, and finally couldn't help asking: "Twelve, when you were in the palace, did you hear anything about His Majesty?"

"Huh? What?"

Zhang Twelve had just swallowed a chicken leg, and he didn't quite understand Mrs. Zhang's question.

"that is--"

Before Mrs. Zhang could speak, Zhang Jinyu took over the words and said, "Mother said, Xiaodan went to the street today and heard a lot of people spreading rumors that the reason why Her Majesty the Queen has been ill in bed for so long is because They were drugged!"

"…………"

Zhang Twelve was stunned for a moment, and then his face was full of joy. He didn't expect Su Murong and Su Jiujiu's actions to be so fast. In less than half a day, it spread even in Yunxi City. It seems that he still underestimated them. strength and determination.

Now that the news has spread even in Yunxi City, Zhang Twelve feels that if he doesn't know what to say, it's too unbelievable.

However, he still asked first: "There is no rumor outside, was Her Majesty drugged by someone?"

Mrs. Zhang shook her head and said, "Nobody told me about this, but it was said that someone drugged me! If this is true, I will write a letter to the imperial court and order them to order a strict investigation, so that the murderer cannot go unpunished!"

Mrs. Zhang was still very excited when she heard the news that Xiaodan had brought back.

She is not young, and her experience is not low. After thinking about it for a while, she can see the difference in this matter. To give medicine to the Queen, to be able to do this kind of thing, it must be someone close to the Queen who can get in touch with the Queen's diet and daily life. , and those who have the courage to do this kind of thing must be the ones who benefit the most!
As long as you are not stupid, you can guess who is behind the scenes.

This is also the brilliance of this rumor. If it is rumored that Su Muyu poisoned the queen, no one dares to say so, and if such a word is said, most of them will be arrested, and they will only say "someone drugged". It's up to everyone Imagine, you can also draw conclusions!
Therefore, Mrs. Zhang was both angry and excited after hearing the rumor!
What is angry is that if this matter is true, it means that everything was done deliberately by Su Muyu, and even the matter of forcing Su Jiujiu to get married was handled by her alone, and her heart can be punished!

And what she was excited about was that if this matter was true, Su Muyu's position would be lost after two days of fermentation!And as long as she falls, the most likely candidate for the next queen is Su Jiujiu—the queen is already there, so why go to Wu country?
Based on her relationship with Su Jiujiu, she naturally didn't want to see Su Jiujiu marrying away from her hometown, how she wished it was true!
But she didn't know whether the rumors heard on the street were credible, so she wanted to ask Zhang Twelve, who had just come out of the palace, if he had heard of anything.

After Zhang Twelve heard this, he plotted secretly, thinking that he had to add fuel to the rumors!
But he didn't plan to tell Mrs. Zhang the truth, because anyone who knew the truth of this matter would undoubtedly put himself in danger, especially Mrs. Zhang wanted to write a letter. Isn't this putting himself at gunpoint?

Zhang Twelve would not let her do such a stupid thing.

So he said with a smile: "Actually, Twelve has also heard about it in the palace. It is said that the palace has recently visited Master Shen, and that Master Shen prescribed some medicine for His Majesty. Who knows that the medicine did not improve after taking it—I'm afraid." It is because of this that there are rumors on the street that someone gave medicine to His Majesty! But this kind of thing is true or false, we are not members of the royal family, so we don’t know what it is, godmother, it’s better not to get involved in this matter ——Whether this matter is true or not, I think your Highnesses should handle it well!"

Mrs. Zhang was a little unwilling to hear it, but she thought about Zhang Twelve's words carefully. She seemed to be really unable to help, so she sighed and had to give up.

But the topic had already been brought up, and the people at the dinner table obviously had their own concerns. It didn't take long for the meal to be over.

After eating, Zhang Twelve took Mou Xiaoxiao to bid farewell to Mrs. Zhang, and then changed into plain and more plain clothes and rode out of Zhang's house with Mou Xiaoxiao...

………………

Zhang Twelve originally wanted to take Mou Xiaoxiao directly back to Mou's Village, after all, after being out for a few days, Mou Xiaoxiao's eyes revealed a strong feeling of homesickness.

Fortunately, he didn't take her away. With her homesickness, she would suffer if she went out!
Zhang Twelve rode a horse and took Mou Xiaoxiao towards the center of the city, aiming at the Watson Medicine Store.

Because just now Mrs. Zhang said the rumors, it means that Su Murong and the others are moving much faster than he imagined. If we look at it according to the plan, tomorrow morning may be the time for a head-on confrontation!
So Zhang Twelve also wants to help them outside. When you come here, ask Mr. Hua first to see if he knows the poison that Master Shen gave. If he doesn't even know, wouldn't it be a mess to go tomorrow up?
Zhang Twelve went into the pharmacy and said he was looking for Mr. Hua. Unexpectedly, it was a coincidence that Mr. Hua happened to be on a medical visit and was not in the pharmacy.

Zhang Twelve discussed with Mou Xiaoxiao, since there was nothing to do now, it would be better to wait a little longer, so the two sat down in the pharmacy.

There are people coming and going in the pharmacy, there are those who are in a hurry to buy medicines, and there are people from the city who come here to chat with people when they have nothing to do.

At some point, a few middle-aged men surrounded the front desk of the pharmacy and started talking there.

"Have you heard that the reason why Her Majesty the Queen has been ill for several days and has not recovered is because she was drugged!"

"Heh, who doesn't know about this? It has already spread in the city, but I don't know if it's true or not!"

"If you want me to tell you, there are no waves without wind. Since it can be spread like this, it must be true!"

"Then who do you think is the person who gave the medicine?"

"Need to say? It must be—"

Before the tall man could speak, he was stopped by the apprentice guy at the front desk: "Don't talk about state affairs! I said you guys, you don't take medicine, what are you talking about here? I'm not afraid of being arrested and sent to the palace!" Eat that prison meal!"

As he spoke, he winked at everyone, causing them to look out.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, it's shocking to see it!
I saw a row of officers and soldiers passing by with swords and weapons in hand, and the last one walked over quickly, shouting "Don't talk about state affairs".

Everyone looked at each other, all looked at each other in blank dismay.

After the officers and soldiers left, he bowed his hands and thanked the apprentice buddy, saying that if he hadn't stopped in time just now, he would have been hit by those officers and soldiers and caught them all in!

The apprentice guy just smiled and waved his hands, but still said cautiously: "You don't have to thank me, as long as you don't talk about this in our pharmacy, then I have to thank you!"

Regardless of which dynasty or generation, literary inquisitions emerged endlessly.

The most taboo thing for common people to chat is involving the royal family, chatting is fine, but don't chat in your own pharmacy, it will save the fish in the pond!

After hearing this, the few people looked at each other again, waved their hands to the apprentice buddy, and then walked out together, maybe they went to a certain place again because of an appointment, and continued to gossip!
Zhang Twelve listened and nodded secretly. It seems that this rumor has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but everyone is just guessing about the person who gave the medicine.
………………

"coming!"

Just when Zhang Twelve was in deep thought, Mou Xiaoxiao poked him, looked in the direction of the door and said.

Zhang Twelve turned his head and saw that Mr. Hua just walked in from outside the door. Although he was not young, Mr. Hua was very energetic, and he looked particularly powerful when he walked.

"Old Hua, those two sons are looking for you."

As soon as Mr. Hua entered the door, the apprentice pointed to Zhang Twelve and said to him, did he know Zhang Twelve, and he had also heard about his current relationship with the Zhang family——reasonably speaking, he was still Zhang Twelve. Second, the great hero who was able to enter the Zhang family, if his cousin Xiaodan hadn't let him know, this guy would definitely not have become the adopted son of the Zhang family!

"Oh?"

Only then did Mr. Hua turn around and look at Zhang Twelve and Mou Xiaoxiao.

Seeing this, the two hurriedly went up to greet him, bowed to Mr. Hua and said, "Mr. Hua, this junior wants to ask you something!"

Mr. Hua recognized Zhang Twelve and said with a smile, "So he's a big one!"

Originally, he wanted to say, "Just ask if you have any questions", but when he glanced at Mou Xiaoxiao next to him, he immediately changed his words and said, "It happens that the old man just came back from a visit to the doctor, and I'm a little tired. You two come in with me." Bar!"

So Mr. Hua took the lead and led the two into a small room behind the pharmacy. After the two of them entered, Mr. Hua closed the door, then stared at Mou Xiaoxiao and said, "Little?"

Mou Xiaoxiao glanced at Zhang Twelve and found that his eyes were also full of surprise, so she asked, "Uncle Hua, how did you recognize me?"

Mr. Hua was not too surprised when he heard Mou Xiaoxiao's voice, but explained softly: "I have seen your illness before, and it is very clear. Your pulse is slow and weak, and your breath is weak and rapid. Most people don't have it." You have a special breath. The makeup on your face can be changed, but your breath cannot be changed, so this old man can recognize it."

Mr. Hua said it lightly, but Zhang Twelve and Mou Xiaoxiao were a little speechless.

This old Mr. Hua is too powerful. He thought that his disguise technique was invincible, but he didn't expect him to recognize it at a glance. It's really amazing!

At this time, Zhang Twelve spoke first: "Mr. Hua, I came here today because I want to ask you something, and I also have a favor I want to ask you for!"

Unexpectedly, Mr. Hua did not reply immediately after hearing this, but looked at Mou Xiaoxiao with some pity in his eyes and said, "Xiaoxiao, do you know what's going on at home?"

"Family matters? What's the matter?"

Mou Xiaoxiao was a little confused, and said again: "Uncle Hua, Xiaoxiao has been away from home for three days, and is preparing to go back today! We will go back when we leave from you!"

"No wonder... come out... come out!"

Old Mr. Hua murmured to himself, but Mou Xiaoxiao was even more confused when he heard it, so he asked again: "Uncle Hua, what are you talking about?"

Mr. Hua was stunned for a moment, and then he began to say: "It's nothing, Xiao Xiao, just wait a moment—"

After saying this, Mr. Hua walked out without waiting for the two of them to respond. Zhang Twelve glanced at Mou Xiaoxiao, and both of them shrugged. .

Not long after, Mr. Hua walked in again, but he was carrying a few paper bags usually used to pack Chinese medicine, and handed them to Mou Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, the old man and your father have known each other for a while. I have nothing to give you, just take this ginseng and deer antler, go back and eat it, and your illness will be cured!"

Mr. Hua had known Mou Xiaoxiao's identity for a long time, and also knew what disease she was suffering from, so he naturally knew how to treat her.

But she also knew the reason of Mou Xiaoxiao's "illness", and felt sorry for her, so even if she knew how to cure her, she didn't help her, even when Zhang Twelve came to buy medicine, she packed some medicine for him An innocuous qi and blood medicine!
But now, unexpectedly, he took the initiative to give the medicine to Mou Xiaoxiao, which made people wonder:
Mr. Hua, today is really too strange, isn't it?
