queen she is not doing business

Chapter 8
Two more days passed.

The child secretly sent the information collected in the past few days to Sheng Fengxue.

Although it was just some half-truths and half-false guesses, it was enough for Sheng Fengxue now.

Thinking that Princess Ruyi would come to pick him up soon, Sheng Fengxue advanced the plan.

Qili accompanied Sheng Fengxue, while Lingluo continued to monitor the movements of the people in Du's residence.

Sheng Fengxue was lying on the hard bed, boredly looking at the melted snow outside, hesitating in her heart, unable to know what she would encounter in the future, which made her very uneasy.

Qili was reading a book quietly beside her, and the two of them could not speak a word for a day.

On this day, Lingluo found a new book for Qili, maybe she was in a good mood today, so she was willing to say a few more words with Sheng Fengxue.

Seeing Sheng Fengxue looking at the window in a daze, Qi Li started to chat and said: "Miss's mother has endured a lot of hardships in order to give birth to Miss."

Sheng Fengxue turned her face around abruptly.

What Qi Li was talking about was obviously Sheng Jiao'e's mother.

How can a mother not bear hardships in giving birth to a child?

"Du Gong..." Qi Li said, she turned the pages of the book again, and asked after thinking, "Miss' mother died young, I'm afraid you don't know what happened back then, right?"

Sheng Fengxue nodded.

She really didn't know anything about the affairs of the Du Mansion and the Sheng Family, and all her conclusions were inferred from other people's words.

Except for what she saw with her own eyes and what Sheng Jiao'e confirmed earlier, as for the others, she treated them with a half-believing mentality.

"Back then, the Sheng family did not agree with the young lady's mother being with Duke Du. In order to be able to stay with the one she loves forever, the young lady's mother resolutely severed ties with the Sheng family."

"After a few years, the young lady's mother failed to conceive, so the Du family began to trouble her constantly. It wasn't until Duke Du's parents were accidentally killed by bandits during a business trip that this matter came to an end."

"A few years later, Miss's mother helped a man in distress, and that man happened to be hunted down. My master... In order to repay his kindness, the master diagnosed the husband and wife separately. Only then did I realize that Miss's mother's inability to conceive is not her own problem, but Du Gong's problem."

"My master told the lady's mother in secret that it is difficult for Du Gong to have his own blood in this life, but Miss He's mother loves Du Gong too much, so she begged my master to help him heal, the master felt her affection, so he helped her again, this time It was only later that I had you, Miss."

"Miss's mother has suffered a lot in order to conceive you. Master has practiced medicine for many years and has treated countless people. If he was not so impressed by the old man, otherwise, I would not know these things."

Qili's original intention was to remind her that she hoped that "Sheng Jiao'e" would not make the same mistakes as her mother, and that she would also complete the task assigned by the lord, but after hearing these words, Sheng Fengxue asked curiously: "Miss Qili's master, why Will be hunted down?"

Qili, who has always been taciturn, finally plucked up the courage to chatter: "..."

"Oh," Sheng Fengxue nodded thoughtfully after asking, "It must be his medical skills."

"Every man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade." Sheng Fengxue said to himself, "Miss Qili's acupuncture is so exquisite, there must be many people who want to achieve this ability."

"It's fine if everyone saves lives and heals the wounded like Master." Qi Li put the book aside and sat upright, "This acupuncture method is not passed on to the outside world, not because it was passed down by my master and ancestors, but because I am proficient in acupuncture and moxibustion." For those who do not know the acupuncture method and have evil thoughts in their hearts, they only need one thought, two thoughts, and three penetrations to change the course of this acupuncture method."

Qi Li paused for a moment, stared at Sheng Fengxue seriously, and then said: "If this acupuncture method is used to harm someone, it can make the other person a cripple with hemiplegia. The reason why Master was hunted down back then was because my senior brother used this acupuncture method to harm someone. people."

"Why don't they go after your senior brother, but your master?"

Sheng Fengxue sighed, and defended Qili's unlucky master: "The kitchen knife is only used to cut vegetables, but now it is used to kill people. The murder is not the fault of the kitchen knife, but the fault of the person who killed the man with the kitchen knife. , so... the one who was hunted down should be your senior brother, what is your master's fault?"

Qi Li smiled, and thought to herself: "Miss Sheng is not as cowardly and useless as the legend says, it's really a rumor to mislead people!"

Seeing her smile, Sheng Fengxue felt a little confused, so she was very surprised and asked: "Did I say something wrong?...Could it be...Miss Qili, your master asked your senior brother to harm someone?!"

"how is this possible!"

Qi Li turned up her voice to retort, but after she finished speaking, she realized that she had made a slip of the tongue, so she lowered her volume and said, "It wasn't master's instigation, it was senior brother who became greedy and willingly became a murder knife in the hands of others."

"That's right." Hearing this, Sheng Fengxue nodded, "I've seen too many things like the insatiable desire."

"Senior brother made a mistake, and Master took it for him. Everyone said that it was Master who instigated it," Qi Li sighed, and folded the scroll with curled fingers, "Because Senior Brother's medical skills were taught by Master himself."

"It seems that this matter has caused a lot of trouble," Sheng Fengxue thought for a while and asked, "I just don't know what happened to them afterwards."

"Senior Brother has long been dismembered by the Lord. Master, an old man, wandered away to avoid disaster, and left me to atone for Senior Brother," Qi Li said, with no sadness or joy, "That's why we appear here reason."

Sheng Fengxue's back felt cold, and he hurriedly asked: "Then what about your master, what happened? It's not really hemiplegia, is it?"

"How is it possible?" Qi Li smiled again, "Brother, he just learned a little superficially. If Master can do it himself, then naturally there is no big problem."

"That's good." Sheng Fengxue was still in shock. The ancients would kill people or dismember them at every turn, which is really scary. "With Miss Qili here, your Patriarch, there shouldn't be any more problems."

Qili just looked at her and didn't speak.

That's not what she wanted to express.

Sheng Fengxue is clear, so she smiled and said: "Miss, I understand what you mean."

There is no need for Qili to remind, Sheng Fengxue also knows.

The marriage between Sheng Jiao'e and His Highness the Crown Prince may have been Huan Rizhu's desire for sex, but it was more of a bargaining chip for him to compete with His Majesty the Emperor.

Obviously, the "Master" that Qi Li spoke of was on the side of His Majesty the Emperor.

Qi Li kindly reminded her that she was afraid that Sheng Fengxue would be kept in the dark and end up being a knife in someone else's hand.

"If it was back then, as long as she had a little bit of brains, she wouldn't end up miserable."

Sheng Fengxue made a pun.

"I won't be that stupid, please don't worry, miss, and your lord."

Sheng Fengxue's words were ambiguous and did not give any clear promises.

She planned to stabilize the person first, and talk about other things later.

"That's good." Qi Li stood up satisfied, closed the book, and put it flat in her palm, "In this way, we sisters will live up to the Lord's entrustment."

Sheng Fengxue: "???"

Qili didn't say any more, she opened the door and walked out.

On the edge of the cold sky, I saw a homing pigeon flapping its wings with great effort, flying towards the highest mountain nearby.
