The county owner is happy, and the scenery is remarried

Chapter 172

There was trembling and grief in the third lady's voice.

The maid frowned, but still hesitated.

"Bamboo fragrance!" Xiao Yuzhuo called out.

Zhuxiang was already ready and ready to go.

Before Xiao Yuzhuo called her, she flew forward, pushed away all the maids and servants who were blocking the door, and pushed the door open.

Xiao Yuzhuo and Ju Xiang stepped into the door.

The third lady wanted to follow in, but after thinking about it, she blocked the door, lest people from the palace rush in again.

But when the door was opened and closed just now, the bloody smell gushing out made her so flustered that she was about to faint.

When Xiao Yuzhuo entered the room, the smell of blood became even stronger.

Besides the two little maids beside the bed, there were indeed two women who looked like midwives.

The two women frowned tightly, and their faces turned pale.

When Xiao Yuzhuo walked around the screen and approached, he only heard them say, "I'm afraid my lord's life won't be saved..."

Fifteen Niang was drenched all over, as if she had been fished out of the water.

Now that the Double Ninth Festival has passed, the sky is already a little cold.

But even the mattress and pillows were wet with her sweat.

Her moaning and screaming sound became weaker and weaker, and her whole body was spread on the bed like a thin white paper.

Without hesitation, Ju Xiang stepped forward to check on Shiwu Niang's situation.

The two midwives were taken aback, "Where did this little girl come from? She dared to come forward after seeing whether the woman had a miscarriage? Hurry up, back away!"

Ju Xiang ignored them.

Xiao Yuzhuo stepped forward and said sharply: "Back off, I need to disturb the doctor to save people!"

"Doctor? Female doctor?" The two midwives looked at each other. Seeing that someone had taken over the tricky job, they were not as stubborn as the servants outside. They immediately stood up and stepped aside.

They are midwives, and they are different from the servants who obey the orders of the princess.

If the side concubine died in miscarriage, then they would definitely not be able to escape the responsibility.

Even with the protection of the princess, a beating would still be unavoidable.

It's all right now, if someone is willing to step forward and take the blame, then they just want to clean it up.

But seeing that Juxiang really took out the golden needle, she needled the side concubine with precise eyes and steady hand.

The unstoppable blood on the bottom of the head disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The two midwives were surprised.

But Ju Xiang's hand didn't stop, and continued to go in for a few more needles. Her needles were different, some were thick and some were thin, some were long and some were short.

Used in different places, and also in different sizes.

The two midwives were dazzled and dazzled by the sight.

And after she applied the needles, she pressed and kneaded the side concubine's body...

Xiao Yuzhuo was sweating while standing in this room.

The smell of blood in the room was too strong, and it seemed to be gone after smelling it for a long time. Intuitively, the atmosphere in the room was too depressing.

It was so heavy that I couldn't breathe.

She saw that Ju Xiang's head was also covered with sweat.

Holding the handkerchief, she stepped forward cautiously, reaching out to wipe Ju Xiang's sweat.

Seeing that the beads of sweat were about to flow into her eyes.

Ju Xiang glanced at Xiao Yuzhuo, but didn't make a sound, instead wiped vigorously on the handkerchief in her hand.

The two midwives were stunned, looked at each other, and whispered: "Who is the master? Who is the servant? Have you ever seen the master wipe the sweat of the servant?"

The two of them spoke in a low voice, Xiao Yuzhuo and Juxiang didn't seem to hear them.

Chrysanthemum pinched and pressed Xiao Shiwuniang's body, which looked like physical labor.

Xiao Yuzhuo stood aside, constantly wiping her sweat.

I don't know how long time has passed.

Xiao Shiwuniang, who was as white as paper on the bed, seemed to have gradually regained her consciousness.

Ju Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, stopped her hands, and rubbed her sore waist, "Finally, I saved my life."

Xiao Shiwuniang opened her mouth.

Xiao Yuzhuo didn't hear what she said, so he quickly moved his ear to her.

"sister……"

As soon as she yelled, tears welled up.

Xiao Yuzhuo quickly held her hand, "Yes, I'm here, and the third lady is also outside, do you want to meet?"

Xiao Shiwuniang closed her eyes wearily.

"I'll prescribe a few medicines for my side concubine, let me drink the medicine first, and then talk. She has no strength right now." Ju Xiang said.

Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, then got up suddenly and said: "You take people and go grab the medicine yourself, tell Mei Xiang Zhu Xiang to pay attention, don't let others touch Shiwu Niang's medicine!"

Ju Xiang immediately understood, nodded and left.

Seeing Ju Xiang coming out, Third Mrs. Xiao immediately rushed in, "Son... my poor son..."

She ran to the bed, Xiao Yuzhuo got up immediately to make room for her.

But Xiao Shiwuniang held Xiao Yuzhuo's hand and refused to let go.

Like a drowning person holding a piece of driftwood.

Xiao Yuzhuo stood by the bed and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, Third Auntie, Ju Xiang said, Fifteenth Mother just has no strength, let her rest for a while, drink the soup and she will feel better."

The third lady burst into tears and nodded repeatedly.

She didn't know what to think of, she stared at Xiao Shiwuniang with dazed eyes, she kept crying.

When Ju Xiang took the medicine and fed it to Shiwu Niang, she heard someone outside saying: "Prince Ji is back!"

The third lady immediately tensed up and her face was ugly.

Xiao Yuzhuo shook her hand, "Third Auntie, please stay here and watch, I'll go out to meet Prince Ji."

Ji Wang was stopped by Xiao Yuzhuo at the door.

"Fifteen Niang is still in a daze right now, why did the prince come to see her now? Don't you know how dangerous she is just now?" Xiao Yuzhuo said coldly, preemptively.

Ji Wang's face was really anxious, "I'm not at the mansion. When I heard the news, I rushed to the mansion, but I just came back."

He is not at home?
The concierge prevented their natal family from coming in, and only invited the midwife, but he didn't even invite a doctor for the bleeding, so he could push it away?
Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't help being a little angry, "While King Ji was away from the house, did you know what happened to Shiwu Niang? Not to mention she had a miscarriage and was bleeding profusely, but there was no one in the house who knew how to treat her!"
I brought the medical girl here, and at the gate of the palace, I was stopped by the porter, and when I entered the inner courtyard, I was also blocked by the servant woman in the inner courtyard. If the third lady and I hadn't forced our way in, wouldn't it be that we wanted us to watch it helplessly? Prince Ji's mansion has been grinded to death..."

She gasped and stopped speaking.

King Ji's face was also not good-looking, "I didn't know about Shiwuniang's pregnancy, so I was totally defenseless against her miscarriage! I don't know about the obstruction of the concierge and the maid, can the princess wait for me to figure out the matter before coming back?" Blame?"

Xiao Yuzhuo snorted softly, feeling more and more that the person standing in front of him was a complete hypocrite.

"Then wait for King Ji to ask clearly, and come see Shiwuniang again!"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Yuzhuo turned around and entered the room again.

The blood stains in the house that the maids were cleaning up.

Ju Xiang sat by the bed and checked the pulse of Shiwu Niang.

The third lady stood aside anxiously.

Shiwu Niang was still pale and haggard, but her eyes could be opened now.

I saw that she didn't even have the energy to raise her eyelids.

Ju Xiang withdrew her hand and frowned, "Lady."

Xiao Yuzhuo nodded and sat on the edge of the bed.

Ju Xiang was blessed by the third wife.

The third lady took her hand, "Good boy, at fifteen she..."

"Third Madam, let's talk this way..." Ju Xiang and the Third Madam went around the screen and went to the other side.

Xiao Yuzhuo looked at Shiwuniang, not knowing how to comfort her.

When she went back to Xiao's house that day, she saw the joy and envy of Chongwu, as if it was still in front of her eyes, hanging on her face, clearly visible.

When I heard that Juxiang said she was pregnant, the excitement...

But in the blink of an eye, there was only blood in the room.

"Fifteen Niang, Prince Ji is outside, do you want to see him?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked in a low voice.

Shiwu Niang closed her eyes, and said weakly: "What do you see him for? The child is gone. If I see him, can you give me a child?"

Xiao Yuzhuo felt sad when he heard this.

"Who is it... who is it..." Shiwu Niang murmured to herself.

As she spoke, tears welled up, her entire face was pale, only a pair of eyes were scary red.

"Don't think about it, Shiwu Niang, don't think about it just yet, it's important to maintain a healthy body!" Xiao Yuzhuo said in a hurry.

Fifteen Niang gasped, "The new side concubine saw me, stared at me for a long time, and suddenly asked me with a smile if I was pregnant... I was shocked, I dared not tell anyone about it , how would she know... She turned around and told the princess..."

Fifteen Niang bit her lower lip, with trembling hatred in her eyes.

Xiao Yuzhuo frowned, not knowing what to say.

The third lady came in from the outside, her eyes were also red.

Xiao Yuzhuo got up and let her sit by the bed.

"Mom..." Shiwu Niang looked at her with tears streaming down her eyes.

The third lady held her hand instead, and cried with a loud cry, "My poor son...it's your mother's fault, why did you make you suffer like this, why?!"

She cried more painfully than Shiwuniang.

Shiwu Niang stared at her in a daze, "Aniang, I did the crime, what's wrong with Aniang?"

"If I had known this... If I had known this, I might as well not have married you... Wouldn't Auntie not be able to support you? So what if she raised you for the rest of her life?" The third lady said vaguely while crying.

Xiao Yuzhuo felt sad when he heard it.

Shiwuniang was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly she stared at the third lady with wide eyes.

"Aniang, am I dying? Am I still going to die?"

The third lady was startled, and shook her head again and again, "Ju Xiang's medical skills are excellent, and she has already saved your life, my son..."

Shiwu Niang shook her head, her eyes were a little terrified, "Aniang's words... these words... Ju Xiang, tell me, what happened to me?"

Ju Xiang stood behind Xiao Yuzhuo, lowered her head and did not speak.

Xiao Yuzhuo was startled, could it be...

"If it wasn't for the fear of my life... then would I never be able to..."

Before Xiao Shiwuniang could finish her words, the third lady lay down on her quilt and burst into tears.

For a moment, the room was filled with desolation and despair.

Fifteen Niang's face was sad and panicked, her lips moved for a while, but she didn't utter a word.

Xiao Yuzhuo clenched his hands together, bitter in his mouth.

"Go home with mother..." The third lady suddenly raised her head and said softly, "No matter what time it is, you still have a mother's family!"

Xiao Shiwuniang was stunned, "Who is it? Who hurt my son and me?"

She turned her head to look at Xiao Yuzhuo, her eyes were blood red, "Sister, you have to help me! Help me!"

Xiao Yuzhuo nodded with difficulty, "I'm going to see the results of King Ji's interrogation right now."

She turned to go out, and saw that King Ji was scolding some servants in the courtyard.

Concubine Ji and the new side concubine haven't shown up yet.

Xiao Yuzhuo stepped forward, "King Ji asked what was the result?"

"The maid next to Shiwu Niang said that all the food she ate was made by herself in the small kitchen in the courtyard, without the hands of others. There is only a bowl of blood swallows, which was given by the princess." Ji Wanghei said with a sullen face. Said, "Fifteen Niang just ate that bowl of blood swallow not long before..."

He exhaled heavily.

"Then what does Prince Ji plan to do?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked coldly.

King Ji took a look at Xiao Yuzhuo, and sternly said to the maid: "This courtyard is in such a mess, where is Princess Ji? Why don't you come?"

The maid scrambled and crawled out to find Princess Ji.

Xiao Yuzhuo squinted at King Ji, "Why did the concubine reward Shiwuniang with a blood swallow today? King Ji really didn't know about Shiwuniang's pregnancy?"

King Ji frowned, "Could it be that the princess is suspicious of this king? Could it be that this king will attack his own child?"

King Ji shouted angrily.

Xiao Yuzhuo squinted at him, after being betrayed by him to the emperor, King Ji was a villain in her eyes.

A villain even smaller than Li Ke!
Who knows if he will do such an inhumane thing?
Princess Ji was carried here.

When Xiao Yuzhuo saw the soft chair carried by the two, he was shocked.

Princess Ji has such a great spectrum!King Ji asked her to come, isn't she too lazy to walk?
This is simply... even more arrogant than myself!

Waiting for the concubine to lift her expressionless face weakly, she said weakly, "I've seen the prince, and the princess is here too?"

Only then did Xiao Yuzhuo realize that she was also sick.

"What's the matter with you?" Ji Wang asked with a frown.

"My concubine has been vomiting and diarrhea since this morning, and she has no strength to toss around. Therefore, after hearing about the incident in my sister's yard, I can only send my servant to come and ask her to come up with an idea." Concubine Ji said pitifully, "If it wasn't for being a concubine, I couldn't do it. If I can't stand it, I must come here in person."

She seemed to be completely relieved of vomiting and diarrhea. The servant girl helped her a few times, but she couldn't get off the soft chair.

King Ji narrowed his eyes, "Okay, just sit down and answer, I have something to ask you!"

Princess Ji didn't struggle any more, she sat on the soft chair and listened quietly with her head bowed.

This look is delicate and soft, not as domineering as herself, Xiao Yuzhuo curled her lips.

"Do you know that the fifteenth mother is pregnant?" Ji Wang asked.

Concubine Ji glanced at him, and said hesitantly, "This is a happy event, but my sister has been hiding it from me. If it wasn't for Al who suddenly noticed it today, I still don't know who I am."

"You just found out today?" Ji Wang frowned.

"Yes, I am also confused. I should have paid attention to my sister's monthly letter, but my sister has always been inaccurate and is still taking medicine to recuperate... Today I found out that she was pregnant, so I immediately asked someone to open a private treasury. The good Xueyan is here, thinking about nourishing my sister's health." Princess Ji said softly.

Ji Wanghe sneered, "Nursing the body? Do you know...you know that she just...had no child after eating that bowl of blood swallow?!"

Concubine Ji seemed to be taken aback, tears welled up in her eyes, "I don't know..."

Ji Wang raised his finger and pointed at Ji Wangfei, "Are you, are you so intolerable for my child?!"

There was hurt in Princess Ji's eyes, she bowed her head in grievance, "Don't you know what kind of person I am..."

Ji Wang snorted heavily.

Concubine Ji twitched her lips, "If you can prevent danger before it happens, then do it... If the child comes, I will never involve innocent lives in the fight. It is the prince's blood, and it is also the child of my aunt. How could I... ... how?"

She spoke in a very low voice, and she didn't even say "concubine body", and every sentence was "I".

It can be seen that she is proud and wronged in her heart.

What she meant was very clear, if she didn't want her concubine to have children, she would take precautions before it happened.

But if she really couldn't prevent it and called the child, then she would not kill innocent children with blood on her hands.

Xiao Yuzhuo narrowed his eyes, thinking this is not what she meant, right?

This was probably what King Ji had said before, and she brought it up now just to remind King Ji.

"My younger sister is pregnant and has a child, what threat can I have? I already have a son-in-law, who is smart and cute, and pleases the prince very much. My younger sister is adding a child to the palace, and I am too happy!" Princess Ji raised her hand and wiped her tears.

King Ji snorted softly.

Xiao Yuzhuo asked, "Princess Wang said, it was the new side concubine who found out that Fifteen Niang was pregnant?"

Concubine Ji nodded heavily, "The princess is not an outsider, but also a relative of the emperor. She is Prince Ji's cousin and Shiwuniang's cousin. I will defend myself in front of the princess, so that the princess can listen to it. Make a decision. My sister is pregnant and has a child, who will threaten Tao? My sister's child is gone, but this basin of dirty water is poured on my head, who can benefit from it? The princess misbehaved, and the side concubine just had a miscarriage ... and who is the only one left?"

Ji Wang's expression froze.

Xiao Yuzhuo felt cold all over.

These words are poking at Al's spine.

Al was indeed suspicious.

A bowl of blood swallow has been stewed from the big kitchen, and when it is sent here, I don't know how many miles it has to travel and how many hands it has passed.

Anything can go wrong.

If there is nothing suspicious about Princess Ji, then it is not...

For a moment Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't tell whether it was Princess Ji or Al.

After all, up to now, I haven't seen Al yet.

"A'er just married into the palace, what does she know? You are in charge of the inner court, but something like this happened, you can't escape the guilt!" King Ji said angrily.

Princess Ji and Xiao Yuzhuo both looked at Prince Ji in shock.

But King Ji gave an order to punish the servants and porters who blocked the way.

The maids and servants who brought the blood swallows were all executed with sticks.

Xiao Yuzhuo was terrified when he heard this.

King Ji defends Al so much!Don't even call Al out, confront him!Get rid of all the suspicions on her!

Princess Ji's face was gloomy.

Although she was not directly punished, but she beat the servants she brought from her mother's house, and her face was also greatly disgraced.

After all, Xiao Yuzhuo was an outsider, keeping Wang Ji and the concubine's eyes wide open, she stopped talking, turned around and went into the house, looking for Shiwu Niang, and told her the result of King Ji's handling.

"Now it seems that it's really best to leave here. No matter who it is, King Ji wants to do too much, so the price to be paid will be too high. Fifteen Niang has been affected and paid such a heavy price. ..." Xiao Yuzhuo sighed, "Go back to Xiao's house?"

The third lady nodded again and again, "I thought you were married well, and I would have face among my sisters-in-law. Now it seems that I have pushed you into a tiger's den and a wolf's den! Aniang doesn't want you to have any kind of wealth and glory." I just hope that you are safe and well, and that I can see you often, that's enough..."

Fifteen Niang grinned, her smile was pale and pale, "Wealth and glory? If in the future, King Ji really came to the throne, I am a lady with children, noble concubine, imperial concubine, maybe I will be rich and glorious? But in the future I will I can't have children anymore... No matter how much wealth and splendor there is, it still belongs to someone else? If Prince Ji's mansion is like this, what should the harem look like? How long can I live with a broken life?"

The third lady burst into tears when she heard this, "Since you have figured it out, come back with us."

"No," Shiwu Niang said without hesitation, "Since I have lost my life, I want to fight with them. If I go back to my mother's house, I will be looked down upon by others. Why don't I stay and avenge my son!"

Xiao Yuzhuo sighed, "Revenge is not about making trouble with others, but with yourself..."

It's so hard to stay in Prince Ji's mansion like this!

Besides, if she wants to take revenge, is she really the opponent of Princess Ji and Al?

"A woman can't bear children, what's the point of living?" Shiwu Niang smiled bitterly, "I'm already half-dead, and I only have revenge..."

When the third lady heard this, she cried and fell on the bed.

"No." Juxiang said suddenly.

She was originally a servant girl, so there is no place for her to speak here.

But she has lived with Xiao Yuzhuo in Wancheng for so long, and she is used to everyone talking about something, so that it is easy to discuss and discuss.

The third lady and Xiao Shiwuniang didn't treat her like an ordinary servant because of her life-saving grace just now.

So several people looked at her with very serious and expectant eyes.

"Fifteen Niang still hopes to be cured?" the third lady asked.

Ju Xiang was stunned, "I didn't mean that, even if a woman is barren, there are still many things she can do. When my wife was in Wancheng... er, I heard that there is a school in Wancheng. There are also girls’ schools. There are female gentlemen and female students. After graduating from the academy, you can be recommended to find a job. Although you can’t be an official, there are still many ways of life.”

The third lady looked a little disdainful.

Xiao Shiwuniang was startled when she heard this.

"What kind of job can I seek? But I'm still a cook and maid! How can a girl show her face outside?" the third lady said.

Ju Xiang smiled, "If there are young ladies who are willing to learn medicine from the maidservant, the maidservant is also willing to teach them, so that they can become doctors who will benefit one side in the future. Zhuxiang said that she is willing to be a female martial arts master and bring out Many female apprentices came to make women no longer the weaker side. Women are not inferior to men. Women have women's strengths, such as carefulness, dexterity, calmness in situations, learning arithmetic, being accountants, shopkeepers, etc., may not be inferior to men Huh? Maybe one day in the future, the imperial court will also accept female officials! At that time, women can also take the imperial examination and sit in the temple!"

When Ju Xiang spoke, her eyes were clear, as if she had seen the beautiful scene at that time.

Women are no longer the appendages of men, they have their own affairs, and they don't have to be locked up in the inner house, surrounded by a man, for that little favor, intrigues, fights, bloodshed...

The third lady and the fifteenth mother were stunned.

Fifteen Niang couldn't get back to her senses.

The third lady coughed heavily, "Wishful thinking! You guys are still too young! Too naive! This is how the world is, and it cannot be changed!"

Ju Xiang sighed, and looked at Xiao Yuzhuo helplessly.

Xiao Yuzhuo pursed his lips and didn't say much.

Fifteen Niang was still in a daze at the moment and refused to go with them.

It was not good for Xiao Yuzhuo and the third wife to stay overnight at Prince Ji's Mansion, so they had no choice but to go back to Xiao's house at dusk with her.

However, Xiao Yuzhuo kept two shrewd and smart little maids in her courtyard. These two young maids have learned martial arts from Zhuxiang, so they can take care of her and guard against Al.

Prince Ji's mansion had just had a grand running water banquet, and after a few days of excitement, such a bloody incident happened.

It is also depressing to kill so many people with a stick.

Because Prince Ji didn't question Xiao's family, no one mentioned about Xiao Yuzhuo and the third wife's forcibly breaking into Prince Ji's mansion when they returned to Xiao's house.

In case Xiao Yuzhuo's temper like a firecracker now blows up at Xiao's house again.

Xiao Yuzhuo asked people to pay attention to Shiwu Niang every day, lest something happened to her, and the people in Prince Ji's Mansion didn't take good care of her.

Maybe it was Xiao Shiwuniang who had figured something out, or seeing something hurt in Prince Ji's mansion, she begged King Ji for his life, and wanted to go back to her mother's house for a few days.

King Ji felt sorry for her just having a miscarriage and hurt her body, but it was also possible that she was afraid that the Xiao family would come to make trouble again, so he agreed.

He personally sent Xiao Shiwuniang back to Xiao's house with a carriage, and let her live in Xiao's house for a few days.

And promised that he would personally pick her up.

Eighteen Niang secretly said something out of nowhere, it is unlucky for a woman who has had a miscarriage to go back to her mother's house during confinement.

But this word reached the ears of the third lady.

The third lady, who was usually gentle and talkative, led people directly to the courtyard of the long room, and slapped Shiba Niang in front of the eldest lady.

After beating Shiba Niang, she was so ashamed that she couldn't lift her head up in front of all the servants and maids.

"If I hear again, who is gossiping behind my back, as a mother, in order to protect my own children, I will not sell anyone's face!" The third lady dropped a sentence, and left in a mighty manner.

The eldest lady also felt ashamed.

But it's really not easy to make too much trouble about this matter, she was depressed for a while.

No one dared to gossip about Shiwu Niang anymore.

When Xiao Yuzhuo learned that Shiwuniang had settled down well, she hurried to visit Shiwuniang with some food and supplements.

"Fifteen Niang looks much better, what do you see, Ju Xiang?"

Ju Xiang nodded again and again, "It's much better, as long as you live well, the lady is young, and her health will recover soon."

Shiwu Niang grinned, "These days, I have thought a lot in Prince Ji's Mansion. Who is nice to me and who is alienated from me is actually not what you see with your eyes. You have to look at it with your heart."

Her temperament was much weaker.

The flamboyant and bright personality in the past seems to be veiled and softened now.

"By the way, sister, when I come back this time, I have something good to give to my sister!" Shiwu Niang said, "My sister has helped me save me again and again, and my life was taken back by her, but I have nothing to give to her." My sister's, I got this good thing by chance, so naturally I should give it to my sister."

Xiao Yuzhuo sat on the edge of the bed with a smile on his face, "What good thing is that? See how mysterious you are?"

Shiwu Niang lowered her eyes and sighed softly, "Perhaps King Ji took pity on me. Seeing that I lost my child and hurt my health, he gave me a good medicine, saying that taking this medicine can strengthen my body. Keep youth forever."

Xiao Yuzhuo was startled when she heard the words, she immediately exchanged glances with Juxiang.

Fifteen Niang asked the servant girl to bring the medicine.

Xiao Yuzhuo's heart beat a little faster, and her eyes were burning hot when she stared at the small box.

Shiwu Niang smiled slightly, "King Ji said, this medicine is not easy to get, and it is very expensive, so I have to carry some people behind it. My sister is my closest relative, and Ju Xiang is my sister's confidant maid, just take a look."

She took the small box from the servant girl and handed it to Xiao Yuzhuo.

Xiao Yuzhuo was a little apprehensive for a while, "Does this medicine have a name?"

As she asked, she opened the box.

There were some charred black lumps lying in the box, which smelled bitter.

This is a god horse thing?

"It has a name, and it's a very pleasant name," Shiwu Niang said with a smile, "It's A Furong."

Xiao Yuzhuo's heart trembled, and the box in his hand was almost thrown away.

Ju Xiang frowned and took a step forward, carefully staring at the things in the box.

"A Furong? This is a bit of a misnomer, isn't it? It looks so ugly, how can it look like a lotus?" Ju Xiang whispered.

Shiwu Niang twitched the corners of her mouth, "I said the same thing when I first got it. But Ji Wang said, because I have never seen its flowers, and their flowers are extremely beautiful. When it is in full bloom, one after another becomes , Looking at the past, the splendid sea of ​​flowers... It seems that one glance can make people forget the troubles in this world!"

"Has King Ji ever described what its flowers look like?" Xiao Yuzhuo already understood in his heart.

Shiwu Niang shook her head, "I only said it was beautiful, but didn't elaborate. My mind is not on flowers..."

"Have you ever taken this medicine?" Xiao Yuzhuo was startled, and asked immediately.

Fifteen Niang was startled by her eager tone, "I only took it once, the medicine was bitter and hard to swallow, but it didn't hurt after taking it, and my heart seemed to be light, and there were many things that I couldn't think about. I'm thinking about it, isn't life just a few decades, and it's passed away in a trance..."

Xiao Yuzhuo snapped the box away and handed it to Juxiang, "Do you have any more?"

Fifteen Niang was stunned, "Uh, most of it is for my sister, I still have some, not much, I want to honor my mother, I'm already like this, it's a trivial matter whether to take this medicine or not."

"Don't eat any more, give it all to me." Xiao Yuzhuo sighed softly, "This is not a panacea. It can indeed be used as medicine. It can make people mentally excited, insensitive to pain, and produce slight hallucinations. Maybe there are other things... But it will definitely not strengthen the body Good health and longevity.”

"No way?" Shiwu Niang stared in disbelief, "Could it be that my sister made a mistake, I've taken this medicine before, and I didn't have the reaction my sister said, but I felt very comfortable."

Xiao Yuzhuo sighed, "Afurong also has a name called opium. The Arabic pronunciation is different from that of Daxia, and it is called opium if you pronounce it in a string. You will feel that it brings you a lot of benefits when you take this medicine for the first time, but This medicine is extremely corrosive to one's mind and will, and if taken in excess, it will... be fatal."

Shiwu Niang stared and listened seriously, but she still didn't believe it, she shook her head and looked at Xiao Yuzhuo suspiciously.

Xiao Yuzhuo closed his eyes, "Forget it, I won't ask you for what you left behind. But you must remember, don't give it to others, and don't take it yourself."

Fifteen Niang nodded, doubtful.

After returning to Xiao Yuzhuo's own yard, Ju Xiang looked at her suspiciously.

She glanced back at Ju Xiang, "What's wrong?"
