Chapter 6

Shen Jiangdong took a quick look at Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi's eyelids twitched, and he shook his head invisibly.Seeing the reaction of the two, Siqing knew that they had something to say, so she went out of the room and closed the door behind her.

Shen Huanhua was looking at the gate, and Siqing asked, "Going far?"

Shen Huanhua nodded, "Why did you come out?"

Siqing said, "They should have something to say."

After Siqing left, Xiao Yi and Shen Jiangdong walked out of the inner room and closed the door of the inner room.Shen Jiangdong couldn't wait to ask: "Today..."

"Today I came to pay homage to my mother," Xiao Yi said, "I thought that since I'm out of the palace anyway, it's better to get rid of the attendants and go to see Guangshi. We have been in single-line contact with Guangshi, and I'm afraid that after a long time, Guangshi's heart will be agitated. I didn't expect Duanwangfu Your attendants are so vigilant."

It turned out that Shi Mengguangshi, the governor of Duan Wangfu just now, was indeed, as Siqing expected, the person in the present.

Xiao Yi put Meng Guangshi next to King Duan just to watch over King Duan.It's just that Xiao Yi has been under the control of the Empress Dowager, and it is difficult to find an opportunity to have an interview with Meng Guangshi.

Today Xiao Yi came to Xishan to pay homage to Empress Dowager Renkang, and heard that Prince Duan's family lived in Xishan, and Meng Guangshi was also there as the head of Prince Duan's residence.Xiao Yi and Cheng Yingzhou got rid of the attendants and tried to meet Meng Guangshi in the bushes behind Duanwang's residence.

Unexpectedly, the security of Prince Duan's Mansion was extremely strict, and he quickly noticed that there was something different around him, and rounded up Xiao Yi and Cheng Yingzhou as assassins.Xiao Yi was unwilling to reveal his identity, so he could only flee down the mountain with Cheng Yingzhou.

Shen Jiangdong repeatedly said: "Your Majesty's move is too risky! If you want to see the light, you can just send someone there, why go in person at this time? I really don't know the servants of the Duanfu who were assassinated by the official road just now. Your Majesty, did you do it on purpose?"

Xiao Yi's gaze turned cold, and he immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "It's hard to say."

Shen Jiangdong knew that Jinshang and his uncle Duan Wang were at odds with each other, and Jinshang placed the well-known talented Meng Guangshi next to Duan Wang.After Meng Guangshi was appreciated by King Duan, he was still not at ease with Meng Guangshi, so he sighed and said: "Your Majesty can no longer put safety at risk, it's better to be more cautious."

After speaking, both of them fell silent.

At this time, the old housekeeper who went to grab the medicine did not return to the Ye family from the village at the foot of the mountain until midnight. Siqing and Shen Huanhua looked around vigilantly, and saw that the old housekeeper did not bring anyone else. relieved.

Siqing knocked on the door of the inner room and said, "The one who grabs the medicine is back." Shen Huanhua pushed the door open and entered the room, while Siqing and the old housekeeper went to light a fire to boil the medicine.

There was silence in the room for a while, the Shen brothers and sisters looked at each other, and Shen Huan said: "Third brother, does the imperial grandmother know that you are coming out today?"

Xiao Yi said: "You should know it well."

Shen Jiangdong was about to interject to talk about the foreign monks in Prince Duan's residence, but Siqing came in and asked, "Is Mr. Cheng still having a fever?"

Xiao Yi was taking Cheng Yingzhou's pulse, turned his head and said: "It's still hot, his pulse is very weak."

After hearing this, Siqing picked up the needle and put in a few more needles. Cheng Yingzhou's chest heaved and heaved, and he lost consciousness.

At this time, the old butler brought in the medicine after he had prepared the medicine, and as soon as he entered the hall, he said, "My God, why does it smell like blood?" Just now when Siqing cut Meng Guang, the blood dripped down the ground, and there was no time to clean up the blood. .

Siqing didn't change her face: "I caught a pheasant, but I just killed it with a knife. I missed it and let it fly away bleeding. It's so pitiful. If I knew it, I would wrap its wound and let it go. gone."

Xiao Yi looked at Shen Jiangdong, and Shen Jiangdong looked at Shen Huanhua, thinking of Meng Guangshi's frightened expression just now, his face was weird.

The old butler was puzzled: "Kill the chicken? Why do you kill it in the living room and not in the yard?"

"It's because I didn't think carefully. You can cook the second medicine quickly, and you are in a hurry to take the medicine." Siqing brought the medicine perfunctorily.

The old housekeeper got away to decoct the medicine, but Siqing took the medicine bowl and carefully looked at it under the lamp for a long while, then smelled it, and then handed it to Xiaying and told her to give it to Cheng Yingzhou.

"Are you suspicious of the old housekeeper?" Shen Huanhua frowned.

Siqing sneered: "The old man doesn't run his family very strictly. Others don't know about it, and his sister-in-law doesn't know about it?"

Hearing Siqing casually greeted his biological father with the word "Old Man", Shen Jiangdong couldn't help rubbing his forehead, and Xiao Yi also cast a puzzled look.

"Wait a minute," Shen Jiangdong remembered something, "The old butler just went out to buy medicine?"

Shen Huanhua said: "Yes."

"Since he's gone out to buy medicine, why doesn't he invite a doctor by the way?"

"Do you want more people to see that Lao Cheng is injured?" Shen Huanhua whispered.

Shen Jiangdong said: "It's not safe for him to buy wound medicine, even if he is reliable, what if he is targeted?"

As they were talking, Xiaying had already taken the medicine for Cheng Yingzhou, and Siqing asked Xiaying to fetch water and wash the floor together.

Xiao Yi kept his eyes on Siqing, and once Siqing left, Xiao Yi didn't care whether Shen Jiangdong was worried about the safety of this place, so he leaned over and asked Shen Huanhua in a low voice: "Old five, this girl Ye is not on good terms with her father?"

Shen Huanhua said softly: "It's not just disharmony? Sister Siqing came back and caused a commotion in the house. Her father's heartache broke out several times."

"What's the reason for this?"

"I don't know very well. Father-in-law lost sister Siqing back then. Sister Siqing was raised by her adoptive father in the south. It seems that sister Siqing's adoptive father treated her very well. She didn't want to go back to Beijing. Father-in-law sent Some disgraceful method was used to force her to come back, and once she returns to Beijing, she will have nothing to do with her father-in-law."

Shen Jiangdong said: "Your father-in-law pretended to be sick, saying that he was dying of illness, and tricked her back."

"Ah?" Shen Huanhua wondered, "What else is there?"

Shen Jiangdong asked again: "Do you know who she grew up with?"

"Why, the dignified Duke also likes to spy on other people's secrets?" Si Qing came in from the outside with water, and the three of them who were talking about her in a moment were a little embarrassed.

Shen Jiangdong said without confidence: "I'm just curious."

Siqing thought for a while, looked at Xiao Yi, and then at the drowsy Cheng Yingzhou. She seemed to have made up her mind, and said softly: "My adoptive father's surname is Fu, taboo Linchuan, and his original name is Lu Yuan. He doesn't want me to be called Daddy. I always call him Uncle. Because he is a doctor, I have a little knowledge of Qi and Huang."

"This name sounds a little familiar," Shen Jiang said, "Isn't your adoptive father a merchant in the south?"

Shen Huanhua interjected and asked, "Isn't the surname Lan over there?"

Siqing said: "The surname is Lu! A merchant? Can you believe what the old man says?"

Shen Huanhua said helplessly, "Siqing! Speak well."

Si Qing said: "It's not safe here, Prince Duan's mansion may come to search again at any time. What should we do next?"

Xiao Yi looked at Cheng Yingzhou and said, "If he gets better, let's go back to Nanshan Zhiyuan first."

The Shen brothers and sisters all knew that Nanshan Zhiyuan was located on Nanshan in the southwest of the imperial capital, and it was also the contact place of the personal guards established by Xiao Yi without telling the truth about the Empress Dowager and the Duanjing princes.

Siqing said: "I asked just now, the old housekeeper said that there are not enough medicinal materials here. I wonder if there is a good doctor in your subordinates, and is there a medicine store?"
