Long live Emperor Wu!

Chapter 8 She succeeded
Wu Rou was obviously only thirteen, but she sighed heavily, as if she had vomited a pound of weight. She held hot water and said to Wu Wen, the third child:
"Hel my mother up."

Wu Wen obediently did as he was told, and the two of them fed Yang Shi some water. Yang Shi looked at her in a daze and said:
"Arou...Aniang has no ability, I'm sorry for you."

Wu Rou's eyes were red, she bit her lip to hold back tears and said:
"It's okay, Auntie. I've already told Tian Sanniang to invite the doctor. I said, if you don't invite the doctor, if you die of illness, there will definitely be rumors that she killed the mistress.

There are so many people in this courtyard, and they may not all be of the same mind as her. When the time comes, I will report it to the official, and I will not worry about having someone testify, and she will definitely be killed.She was scared and had already gone to invite him. "

After hearing this, Yang closed her eyes and stopped talking.

In the past six months, her well-maintained body has become haggard, her hair is gray, and she is no better than an old woman.

Wu Rou looked at her like this, in the panic of losing her mother, her eyes were blood red and she didn't move for a long time.

Suddenly, a group of people poured in from outside, carrying bedding and various luxury appliances in their hands.

Tian Sanniang commanded desperately and said:
"Quick, quick, get it all set up and give the three girls some clothes. The doctor will be here soon. Be careful with your mouths. If you talk nonsense, our Lord will not forgive you!"

The three Wu sisters were all shocked.Seeing that the simple room was soon transformed into a warm and luxurious one.

Even Ms. Yang who was on the bed was lifted up, the bed was made, and she was put into clothes.

Several people didn't react for a long time.

Wu Shun cried and said:

"Brothers have finally woken up? Are you ready to spare us?"

"You're dreaming!" Wu Rou scolded her.

Tian Sanniang ignored Wu Shun and said directly to Wu Rou:
"Miss Yuan... please cooperate well, put on your clothes, and don't talk nonsense, otherwise my wife's illness will not be cured. I finally persuaded our husband to send a doctor here. They will be here soon. If you want to Madam's illness is better, and you can live a little more peacefully."

Wu Rou glanced at her mother on the bed. Although her eyes were filled with unwillingness, she put it on neatly.

……

……

The Wu brothers came with their doctor. In the quiet and harmonious public scene, the doctor checked Yang's pulse and prescribed medicine, and asked someone to grab the medicine. Wu Rou shouted:
"Awen, follow me. You must get the medicine and run back."

Wu Yuanshuang glanced at her and sneered:
"You look like you, as if the pharmacy is running out of your medicine."

Wu Rou said nothing, the doctor smiled awkwardly and said:
"It's okay. I'm worried about my wife's health. Filial piety is commendable... Miss Three, please come with me."

Wu Wen followed, and the brother and sister were the only ones left in the room.

Wu Yuanqing walked to Yang's bed, looked at her haggard look, a glimmer of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and said with pretense of emotion:

"Back then, my mother was like this when she was ill."

Wu Rou sarcastically said in a voice as young as an oriole:

"Brother...your mother died of illness, what does it have to do with us? If you have the ability, you could get angry at Aye when he was still alive, and then blame it on a few of us unrelated women and children. You are really capable." .”

Wu Yuanqing was already in his 30s. Hearing a 13-year-old girl lecture him in this tone, he suddenly became angry and wanted to reach out to hit her. However, he took a step forward, stepped back and said proudly:

"I'm in a good mood today, so I won't argue with you."

He gritted his teeth, stretched out his finger at her, and said:

"My mother died of illness and no one asked about it, so you have to suffer the same fate. Waiting to see her die of illness will make us brothers feel comfortable! If you don't accept it, go to the county government to sue me. I also hired a doctor. If she can't be cured, what can we do? .”

Wu Shun cried again, full of fear, lying on the edge of the bed, shouting:
"Aunt...Aunt..."

Wu Rou watched this scene quietly, looking at the unconscious Yang, despair swallowed her up like a black mist.

Then this despair quickly turned into a raging flame, and the flames of hatred ignited in her beautiful eyes seemed to want to engulf everyone.

……

The Wu brothers really settled down in the farm, pretending to be filial sons to the outside world, and waiting for Yang to die internally.

Except for the day when the doctor came, Wu Wen, the third child, came back with medicine. After suffering for a while, there was no medicine anymore.

The warm supplies in the house were removed again and moved to the room of the Wu brothers.

On this day, after dinner, everyone fell asleep deeply. Wu Rou came out of their room, looked at the gloomy sky, and walked towards the house where the Wu brothers lived.

The farm was small, with only two rooms for the servants to live in.

Wu Rou held an iron lock in her hand and was wearing thin clothes. She walked in a hurry. After arriving at the door of the Wu brothers,

She stood quietly for a while, listening to the movement inside, then opened the curtain, pushed the door open and took a look inside.

I'm sure I saw both Wu brothers falling asleep with my own eyes.

Only then did she withdraw, put the iron lock on the door knocker, clicked it, and pulled out the key.

She did all this without any hesitation, because she had already planned it in her mind many times.

From the moment she realized that they might be killed by the Wu brothers, she had been planning how to drag them to hell together.Yes, if others don't give her a way to live, then no one will have an easy time!

Wu Rou once thought about hiding a dagger and looking for an opportunity to stab them both to death, but she was so thin now that she had no strength in her hands.

She couldn't stand failure, couldn't stand the unsuccessful assassination, and even took the blame for herself. She also made the Wu brothers victims and gained the sympathy of the world.

So she gave up on the idea.

That day, the doctor prescribed Ma Fei San for her and told her that just taking a little bit of it would relieve the pain. He said that eating too much of this medicine would cause people to fall into coma and make them unable to wake up even with a knife, so she became interested.

A bright light flashed in her eyes, and no one said that she had saved more than 20 days of Ma Fei San that the doctor secretly prescribed to her.

God knows how she endured those days when her back hurt so much that she couldn't sleep at night.Many times, she wanted to eat something to relieve her pain.

But as soon as she thought about the retribution that could befall the Wu brothers, she no longer thought about it.

Today, she spread the mabo into everyone's meals. Twenty people in the farm ate it, but she didn't.

She didn't know how effective these numbing powder would be when everyone was taking a nap.

But as long as no one bothers her, just let her set a fire.

A fire could make these two people die miserable.

Wu Rou reached out and tugged on the lock on the door, her eyes filled with a deathly coolness, then she turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

When she came out again, she held a torch, and the bright firelight shone on her cold face, making her feel warm. She turned her head and glanced at the torch, then walked towards the locked door.

One step, two steps.three steps...

As long as the wooden doors and windows are opened, the people inside can't escape, and the sleeping people won't come to save them, she will succeed...

"Dong dong...dong dong..." There was a knock on the farm door.

Wu Rou held the torch and turned her head, a glimmer of doubt appeared in her despairing eyes.

"Dong dong...dong dong..." There was another knock on the door.

"Where is the person? Open the door quickly, the imperial edict has arrived!" The voice of the Wu family's butler came in.

Wu Rou was startled for a moment, and then her confusion turned into surprise, as if the frozen ice suddenly melted and she came alive.

She threw the torch into the water tank next to her in panic, and was about to run to the door of the courtyard, but suddenly she stopped and remembered the lock on the door, so she hurriedly ran back.

Where are the keys?
Wu Rou looked around anxiously, almost lying on the ground. She casually pulled it out and threw it on the ground. Where was it thrown?

Finally, when there was another knock on the door, she found the key in the crack of the brick, stood up, opened the lock, stuffed the lock into her sleeve, and ran to open the door regardless of the coldness.

……

The courtyard door opened, and standing outside were the eunuchs delivering the edict, two teams of guards escorting the edict, soldiers from the Bingzhou Governor's Mansion, and the old housekeeper of the Wu family.

A large group of people lined up at the door of the small farm. Wu Rou was shocked by the scene in front of her and quickly let the door open.

The eunuch who served in the chamber walked in the door first, looking a little unhappy, but still said to Wu Rou in a business-like manner:

"Invite Miss Yuan of your family to come out. His Majesty has decreed that she will be taken into the Taiji Palace as a concubine. Please come out to receive the decree."

Upon hearing this, Wu Rou stood aside in a polite manner, knelt down with the posture of an aristocratic girl, raised her hands in the air and saluted:
"Wu Rou, the eldest daughter of the grass-roots warrior Yun, please kneel down and listen to the order."

When the eunuchs heard this, they were shocked beyond words.

The thin and shabby woman in front of me, wearing thin and shabby clothes, is the daughter of Duke Ying's warrior Xun?

He looked at the steward next to him questioningly, his eyes full of verification.

The housekeeper smiled awkwardly and embarrassedly, pointed his palm in Wu Rou's direction, and whispered:

"It's true...it's true...there are some household matters that I can't tell the Holy Envoy clearly."

After hearing this, the chamberlain who delivered the order was a little less shocked in his eyes, but he said with a meaningful emotion:
"When we came here, His Majesty had already told us that the situation of the Wu family's mother and daughter might not be good, but I didn't expect it would be such a bad idea."

After hearing this, the housekeeper's face turned even redder, and he murmured that he could no longer speak.

Wu Rou was overjoyed after hearing this. She lowered her head and thought to herself: The chamberlain knows everything and was specially instructed by His Majesty, so he was sent to support her?
"Where are the rest of the people? Didn't you say that the head of the Wu family is also in this farm? Please ask someone to come and listen to the order." asked the chamberlain who delivered the order.

The housekeeper also felt strange and quickly went in to call for help.

After a while, many people in the farm came out in a daze, and the Wu brothers looked even more confused. They were pulled out by the housekeeper and knelt on the ground.

"Imperial edict, on the first day of October in the tenth year of Zhenguan, the edict reads: I heard that Wu, the eldest daughter of Ying Guogong's warrior Xun, is very beautiful and has outstanding posture. She was specially recruited into the harem to serve the emperor. The relevant people promised to help her make her trip, but she was not allowed to do so. mistaken."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Wu Rou quickly bowed her head and thanked her, her heart pounding in her heart.

She made it, she made it!
