first princess

Chapter 144 Mother and Child Recognition (5)
Zhi Fan covered her face with her sleeves and smiled: "Ever since I wear the clothes you made, how can the prince still think of the clothes made by tailors? I lost them a long time ago!"

Shui Linglong counted Zhuge Yu's brocade clothes and secretly sighed, is this forcing her to make clothes for him?After closing the cabinet door, she said, "Take out all the fabrics from the storeroom tomorrow." She opened the shoe cabinet and checked, frowning, sure enough!Even the shoes were thrown away to the point where only she made them!The shoes look similar on the surface, but they are actually divided into thick and thin ones. The shoes she made for him are all spring and autumn. In such a cold day, he doesn't feel cold feet?

Did he have cold feet?
Shui Linglong is a little upset!
Zhi Fan put away the foldable long table, erected it to stand beside the cabinet and covered it with a curtain, glanced at the colorful luminous pearls Qiao Hui gave her, and asked in a low voice: "Miss, Miss Qiao suddenly showed her kindness to you, did we The trick succeeded? Will Miss Qiao suspect anything?"

Shui Linglong walked to the window, opened the window, a gust of cold wind rushed in with flying snow, and sprayed her face, she tightened her loose white jade water pattern wide jacket, looked at the study room with weak candlelight, didn't answer. Asked a complicated question, but said: "Bring the soles and cotton cloth, they need to be thicker."

Zhi Fan was startled, Shui Linglong had already closed the window, Zhi Fan didn't dare to ask, she lowered her head and found the thickened shoe sole and black satin interlayer cotton cloth from the box, handed it to Shui Linglong, and presented the embroidery basket along with it.

Shui Linglong took it over and began to make shoes. At the same time, she answered Zhifan's doubts: "The second lady is from an aunt, so it is reasonable to protect Dong Jialin who has suffered the same situation. Although she may not intend to protect, the truth is not important." The important thing is what Qiao Hui believes. The houses built by the same group of craftsmen, whether it is materials or workmanship, are not as reliable as the Bauhinia Courtyard, Qiao Hui can not doubt Zhen's intentions?"

Zhi Fan shook his head: "No, the servant is referring to the Second Young Mistress, will she suspect that we have tampered with it?"

Shui Linglong had a half-smile but not a smile: "The contractor took a large sum of money and went to another country. Even if she had doubts, who would she ask for proof? Besides, she had only been here for a few days? She didn't have the guts to confront her mother-in-law." The blame is set.

The only blame is that Zhen Shi is too dishonest, challenging her patience again and again, she can't let Zhen Shi and Qiao Hui unite in the same camp, so that Zhen Shi can use Su Chenghou's mansion to do things that are not good for her in the future.

Heavy snow falls, gathers and disperses suddenly, and the weather is getting colder and colder.

This year has been a lot of events, with water falling from the south to the west, and the Battle of Mobei, the imperial court ended its vacation early, and Zhuge Yu had to go to court early again.

Shui Linglong rubbed her sleepy eyes, looked at the slightly whitish window, called Zhi Fan, who was in a daze, and handed the shoes made overnight to her: "Send them to Shi Ziye. It should be up soon."

Zhi Fan covered her face and yawned, looked at the shoes in her hand and said in astonishment, "Miss, you haven't slept all night, have you?"

Shui Linglong waved her hand, Zhifan went back to the room to wash up, and then went to the study with her shoes.

After Zhi Fan left, Shui Linglong called Ye Mao again: "Later, you take the tea you bought from Jiangnan to the Guo Mansion, and say it's for the third princess, and then ask if General Guo is back. "In such a cold day, I don't know if the two children have met, if not, where will the third princess sleep, where will she live, will she be frozen?

One big and one small, having finished worrying about it for the time being, Shui Linglong snuggled into the quilt to catch up on a little sleep, until Zhifan entered the room with the curtain closed, saying that Zhuge Xi had brought the children home for New Year's greetings, Shui Linglong held back Get up sleepy and dress up.

Inside Tian'an Residence, the old matriarch teased a pair of older brothers lying on the kang sideways, laughing so hard that she wanted her great-grandson too: "Oh, I can't tell who is the eldest and who is the second!"

Zhuge Xi sat on the bed, pointed to the blue swaddle, and said, "Grandma, the blue one is the eldest, and the red one is the second."

The old lady smiled apologetically, picked up the weaker second child, licked his little face, and said angrily to Zhuge Xi: "It's such a cold day to bring the child back to the house, and I'm not afraid of freezing the child, you mother Yes, it’s really cruel! Is our brother Xin frozen? Is brother Xin cold?” After speaking, he put his forehead against brother Xin’s head with a smile, and brother Xin said “um… um…” The tone of the baby's voice seemed to be uncomfortable, but she refrained from making a fuss.Brother Ji couldn't do it anymore. The old matriarch put Brother Xin aside and picked up Brother Ji again. Before he touched him, he burst into tears with a "wow".The old lady was so frightened that she was at a loss, and everyone in the room laughed.

Zhuge Xi hugged Brother Ji and coaxed him for a long time, and then let the wet nurse nurse him for a while, and Brother Ji stopped crying.

The old matriarch placed Brother Ji between the two baby babies, and then picked up Sister Hui, who was very well-behaved and sensible from birth, and said earnestly: "It is right to bring Sister Hui out. Under your name, she will be your daughter in the future, and you must not treat one more favorably than another, because the relationship between mother and daughter is divided, and the birth mother is not as old as the adoptive mother, you have to understand this truth."

Zhen Shi hurriedly smiled and agreed: "Yes, feelings are cultivated. She follows you every day. If she doesn't talk about your kindness in the future, who will she talk about?"

Zhuge Xi smiled, but didn't answer.

Qiao Hui brought the teacup to her lips, tasted it, and her eyes dimmed.

The old lady glanced at Qiao Hui and sighed slightly.

Shui Linglong entered the room just in time to hear this conversation, she glanced at sister Hui slightly in surprise, and then walked in with a smile on her face: "Grandma, second aunt, elder sister, younger siblings."

Except for the old lady and the two elders of the Zhen family, the other female relatives stood up and saluted Shui Linglong, Shui Linglong politely returned half the salute, and with a glance, Zhuge Shu was still not there!What happened recently, Mrs. Zhen hid Zhuge Shu so tightly?
The old matriarch put down sister Hui and asked Ping'er to bring a gilt glazed fruit plate with various candies and snacks to Shui Linglong. Shui Linglong stayed up all night and lost her appetite, so she didn't eat.

Qiao Hui sat beside Shui Linglong, took the tea from Ping'er and handed it to Shui Linglong: "Sister-in-law, drink tea."

"Thank you, brother and sister." After Shui Linglong finished eating the pastry, she took the teacup with both hands, Qiao Hui was overjoyed, and her smile became a little more sincere, "I like the phoenix hairpin that sister-in-law gave me very much."

Shui Linglong blinked and smiled, "I like the Ye Mingzhu given by my brother and sister better."

"Pfft--" Qiao Hui couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

Seeing that the two sisters-in-law get along well, like sisters in a boudoir, the old lady couldn't help but smile.

The few people chatted and laughed for a while, the old matriarch frowned with gray eyebrows: "Ping'er, go and see if the prince is up?" Finally, the buddies went back to the mansion, he must see him as a grandfather, it was windy outside, She really didn't want her buddies to suffer from the cold again.

"Yes." Ping'er bowed and retreated. About two quarters of an hour later, she walked in with a dignified expression. Looking at the smiling old matriarch, her heavy tone changed, and she said as usual: "Old matriarch , something happened to the prince, and the princess is investigating in the main courtyard."

The candy in the old lady's hand, snap!It hit the ground!

In the bedroom of the main courtyard, Zhuge Liuyun was lying on the bed with a face ashen ashes, his Yintang was black, his lips were pale, the situation was not optimistic.

Leng Youru tucked her in the quilt, twisted a hot handkerchief from the basin carried by Qiao's mother, wiped his face and hands, and looked at the servants in the room with mournful eyes: "How do you take care of the prince? ? Look at how the prince is seriously ill, it should not be a day or two, don't you usually notice any signs?"

Uncle Yu and Zhao Yun knelt in the front row, and the little maid serving Liu Lu and the others knelt in the second row.It was Uncle Yu who thought for a while and then said: "As for the princess, the slave once found that the prince seemed very tired in the study, and he seemed to have a headache. The slave asked, and the prince said that there is no problem, probably he did not have a good rest."

Leng Youru has always been a gentle person, but this time, she threw the towel out of her hand and hit Uncle Yu all over his face. Everyone's heart trembled fiercely. Those who never get angry got angry. It can be seen that this time it is difficult to be kind.

Uncle Yu didn't dare to move, he let the towel hit his face and fell on his knees, soaking his pants, the warmth penetrated bit by bit, and the cold wind blew, stirring up another layer of severe cold.

Leng Youru's chest heaved violently, as if her heart was blocked with overwhelming anger, she was so angry that she couldn't even say a word.

Mother Qiao's dark and cold eyes flickered over everyone's heads, and finally fell on Liu Lu's flat face. She pointed her finger and scolded: "You! Serve the prince closely, and you don't even know that the prince has a headache. ?"

Liu Lu glanced at Mother Qiao, and said in a trembling voice: "My lord didn't say he was uncomfortable, and occasionally let the servant rub his temples, he only said that he was tired, and the servant didn't think much about it."

Qiao's mother gave her a cold look, and said contemptuously: "What a sharp mouth, so eloquent! Drag me out, slap her hard, and see if she dares to speak hard?"

Liu Lu subconsciously wanted to refute, but her eyes swept away, and when she met the cold and menacing eyes of the princess, she lost her courage again. She was born as a maid, so how could she not know the master's method of attacking the concubine?Regardless of whether the prince is seriously ill or not, why she is ill, or whether she is negligent or not, the princess has decided to use this opportunity to get rid of her!When the prince wakes up, everything is a foregone conclusion. Could it be that the prince will turn his face on a half-dead maid and his wife?Even if it turns over, it's only a short period of time!Just like this time, the prince and the princess had a cold war for a month. As soon as the princess interceded, the prince went to her yard.Wives and concubines are just different...

The negative emotions in Liu Lu's mind dominated her mind, completely forgetting Zhuge Liuyun's usual kindness and care for her.After shedding two tears, she was dragged out by two rough envoys. Not long after, a crisp slap came, and the servants in the room became more and more silent.

Mother Qiao shook her head wantonly, and she had to let these people see that even Zhao Yun, who was loved by thousands of people, couldn't get out of a round in the hands of the princess!Open your dog eyes to see clearly who is the helm of the inner house?
Uncle Yu frowned, his mouth moved, and seemed to want to say something, but was interrupted by the princess: "Uncle Yu, get up, hurry up and ask Dr. Hu to diagnose the prince."

From the corner of his eye, Uncle Yu passed by the proud and arrogant Mother Qiao and the quiet and elegant Princess, his eyes were fixed, and he said: "The servant obeys."

Dr. Hu entered the gate of the main courtyard together with the old matriarch and his party. Brothers Ji, Brother Xin and sister Hui stayed in Tian'anju under the care of their wet nurse, and the others rushed over.

"Old Madam." Dr. Hu saluted respectfully. He was nearly thirty years old, but he was alone. He had no high hall and no children. He once married a wife but fell into a lotus pond and died in less than three years. Since then, he With a pure heart and few desires, he quietly became a dedicated doctor in the palace. Because he had no worries and worries, even if he was given a holiday by the New Year's Eve, he had nowhere to go, so he could be there whenever he was called.

The old matriarch pressed his chest, raised his hand, and signaled him to go in and see the prince quickly, and don't care about the politeness.

Doctor Hu blessed Shui Linglong and his group again, and then quickly entered Zhuge Liuyun's room, and everyone followed closely. When they walked through the hallway, they saw two rough envoys slapping Liu Lu, Shui Linglong squinted Eyes, softly said: "Let's save a life, grandma, maybe I can find out the reason of Wang Ye's illness later."

The old lady nodded, and the wives let go of Zhao Yun whose cheeks were red and swollen.

Zhi Fan secretly sighed, it is really hard to be a concubine, she used to be very envious and jealous, but now there is only pity and regret.

The old lady walked into the bedroom with the support of Shui Linglong and Zhuge Xi, Leng Youru hurriedly got up to greet the old lady, gave up the seat at the head of the bed, and said apologetically: "Mother, let me worry about it, it's my daughter-in-law's no."

Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows!
The old matriarch was so anxious that her mind was in chaos, and she didn't take care of Leng Youru. After Dr. Hu had finished the diagnosis and treatment, she couldn't wait to ask: "How? What's the disease? Wind cold? The wound is inflamed?"

Dr. Hu's eyelids moved, as if he hesitated!
Leng Youru ordered indifferently: "All the slaves go out."

The servants came out in a single file, and Bo Yu, who was at the end, closed the gate. Only then did Doctor Hu boldly reveal his own diagnosis: "Back to the old matriarch, the prince is not sick, but...poisoned!"

As soon as this remark came out, many people's faces changed suddenly. It's the New Year's Eve, the prince was actually poisoned?

Dr. Hu took Zhuge Liuyun's pulse again: "Look at the pulse, the poisoning lasted more than three or two days."

Zhuge Xi held Zhuge Liuyun's hand, weeping uncontrollably: "Father..."

The old matriarch called Uncle Yu to come in, and asked solemnly, "Who is responsible for the prince's diet and daily life? How could he be poisoned?"

Uncle Yu was surprised, and after a while, he replied: "I will test the food and tea for the prince first, and if there is no problem, I will use it for the prince. As for the furnishings in the house, including spices, the prince will check carefully every few days. Do it again, just for fear of any negligence. If you really want to be poisoned, the slave should be the first!"

Dr. Hu frowned, looking at the old lady, hesitant to speak.

Shui Linglong looked at Leng Youru, and saw that she was crying, very sad, but thinking of Leng Wei's death, Shui Linglong shook her head again.

The old matriarch thumped the bed cover hard, her gray eyebrows furrowed: "Doctor Hu, can you possibly determine how the prince was infected with this poison? If it wasn't taken orally, would it be a wound infection?"

Zhuge Liuyun has a leg injury, if someone bribes someone to tamper with the wound medicine, Uncle Yu will not be able to try it.

Leng Youru's face changed: "Mother, are you doubting me?"

Zhen Shi narrowed her eyes suspiciously, with the support of the old lady, what is she afraid of?She raised her head and said, "The wound medicine... seems to be sent by the princess every day, right?"
