Forensic lady champion husband

Chapter 46

Knowing that the medicinal ingredients on the prescription were related to Yuan Yizhen's life, Mingshu didn't dare to neglect her. On the way back, she sent Chunxiu to grab the medicine, but saw that all the nearby decent pharmacies were closed, and the ones that were still open were too far away. It can't be sent overnight if it's caught, and it's the same when it's remixed tomorrow.

The next day was the day to move to Taipingfang. Although the luggage was sent to the new house half a month ago, it was still very busy on the tenth day. It took a whole morning just to move out of Qu's house. Because Mrs. Qu tried to hold her back again and again, she sighed: "This is the second time I send my daughter away from home, and I still can't bear it."

When I arrived at Taipingfang, it was not "peaceful". Although the new home was decorated new and tidy, Xu Hang had pasted the so-called "ghost-exorcism spells" on the doors and windows. I feel that it is very eye-catching, and I have to remove them one by one, which is very troublesome.

Mingshu not only has to arrange for the servants to do things, but also entertains the relatives and friends who come to congratulate her. There are people coming and going, and it is very lively. Unfortunately, Du He, who loves the most lively, can only hide in the room and cannot meet people. Today, he can secretly sit in the carriage Here, looking at the flying snow and the flow of people in the market from the window, he was almost moved to tears.Near the end of the new year, many officials came to Beijing to report on their duties. Many of them were admitted in the same year as Yan Ziqin, and they made an appointment to come to visit together. There were not enough staff at home, so we had to postpone the matter of getting medicine for Yuan Yizhen for now.

In the early morning of the next day, after Mingshu sent away Yan Ziqin who was in court, he sent Chunxiu to grab the medicine.

At this time, the snow had stopped outside, and the wind was still strong. As soon as Chunxiu went out, he bumped into Yan Ziqin in a black cloak at a shelter on the corner of the street. Because he forgot to bring the imperial wat, Xu An asked Xu An to go back and get one. Come on, wait for him to come back at the door.

Except for some old ministers who have to take cars and sedan chairs, Bianliang officials often ride horses to court, and Yan Ziqin is no exception. On horseback, he caught a glimpse of Chunxiu walking on the street in a hurry, called her, and asked: "Is it you?" The lady let you go out?"

Because Chunxiu was carrying the prescription, Ming Shu asked her not to let outsiders know about it. When Yan Ziqin called her to stop, she was already trembling with fright. When he asked her what she was going to do, she faltered and couldn't answer.

Yan Ziqin tightened his eyebrows, thinking that Mingshu had come up with some tricks to hide it from him, but seeing Chunxiu tightly protecting her cuffs, he guessed that what she was hiding must be hidden in the sleeves, so he smiled and said: " Oh, the lady sent you to do that matter, it’s good, you are a proper person, you won’t talk nonsense to others.”

Hearing what Yan Ziqin said, Chunxiu thought that the lady had already told him about Mrs. Yuan. After all, they are husband and wife, and it is natural for them to communicate with each other when they talk, but they still refused to reveal the news, and said vaguely: "Thank you for the compliment, officials. , the servant is going now."

Yan Ziqin said: "Wait, is the place you are going to appropriate?"

Chunxiu pointed to the north, and a gust of wind blew by, almost knocking her over, "It's the Sanchuntang Pharmacy in front, a century-old shop, how could it be inappropriate?" body, carrying the prescription and walked away.

Yan Ziqin looked at her receding back thoughtfully, wondering if Mingshu was unwell?But if you are not feeling well, you can ask a doctor to come to your home to help with dispensing medicine, why let Chunxiu go out to buy it in a sneaky way.

At this time, Xu An came out holding the wat box and reminded Yan Ziqin that it was time to leave. Yan Ziqin took the wat box and ordered Xu An to go to Sanchun Hall later to see what kind of medicine was sold in the Chunxiu gourd.

But Chunxiu returned to Qu Mansion with a piece of herbal medicine wrapped in white linen paper, quietly sent it to Mingshu, and then grilled her hands in front of the charcoal brazier.

Mingshu compared the list pasted on the outside of the paper bag with Yuan Yizhen's prescription, and it was indeed not bad at all, so she ordered Chunxiu to keep it and bring it back when Yuan Yizhen's confidant came to deliver the letter again.

Chunxiu put the medicine in the drawer, but she always had a puzzled expression on her face. She glanced at Mingshu's expression and asked softly, "Miss, do you know what disease Madam Yuan uses it to cure?"

Mingshu was reading Zhongyong silently, and was preparing to test Wang Anshi's recitation later. Hearing Chunxiu's question, she raised her head and said, "I've already said what I mean, and I don't want others to ask more questions."

Chunxiu sighed, and said: "Don't blame the servant girl for talking too much, it's just that Mrs. Yuan's 'condition' should be very unusual. When the servant girl handed over the prescription, the expressions of the master who fetched the medicine and the gentleman who settled the accounts all changed, which made us suspicious. If some poisonous prescription is used by Mrs. Yuan to harm others, it will be held to us..."

In fact, Mingshu also had the same concerns in her heart, fearing that Yuan Yizhen had been bullied for a long time, and had the idea of ​​dying, so she prepared the medicine to harm others or commit suicide, but yesterday she glanced at the name of the prescription, and there was no fatal poison.Although she was not good at Chinese medicine, she had memorized the list of highly toxic Chinese herbal medicines in her toxicology class. Yuan Yizhen's prescription did not involve such poisons.

She pursed her lips, took Chunxiu's hand, and said softly: "Chunxiu, don't you know Mrs. Yuan? If she had evil intentions, she wouldn't have the patience to accompany me, an idiot If she had evil intentions, she would not be bullied by Zhang Lin to such an extent that she would be powerless to resist. Although Zhang Lin deserves to die, I believe that Yizhen is a person who knows the pros and cons. You won’t risk your own life to do it yourself, and you won’t have the heart to implicate us in it.”

Chunxiu nodded, and Mingshu said again: "You are doing my best for me wholeheartedly. I know it and I keep it in my heart. Now that Mrs. Yuan is in trouble, I will help as much as I can. I don't have time to be wise and protect myself."

Mingshu thought that there would be no more trouble after this, and just waited for Yuan Yizhen to come to get the medicine. As usual, she first tested Wang Anshi's recitation, then had lunch, and continued to sew a half-finished hood in the afternoon—the weather was getting worse. Cold, she helped her father make a hood with a velvet lining a few days ago, Yan Ziqin swayed and signaled that she wanted it too, Mingshu had no choice but to obey him.

Normally, Yan Ziqin only arrives home when it is dark. Although the sunset is early in winter and the imperial palace in Taipingfang is closer, he can only come back around the time of You. But today, the setting sun still reflects the ice skates on the eaves, reflecting a little bit of clarity. According to the time, Yan Ziqin came back.

Mingshu was a little surprised, but didn't take it to heart. Maybe the officials saw that it was extremely cold today, so they sympathized with the ministers and ordered them to go home early. As usual, they first let him drink a bowl of syrup made from red dates and ginger to drive away the cold. cold.

After Yan Ziqin drank the sugar water, Mingshu sensed that the atmosphere was not right. In the past, he would have pestered Mingshu for another cup, but today, even drinking the cup just now seemed to be perfunctory Swallowed.

Could it be that something went wrong in the court?Mingshu guessed, and showed Yan Ziqin the soon-to-be-finished hood, asking him to take a closer look at the neat stitching, fine workmanship, and his favorite color—pure black.

Yan Ziqin only looked at it perfunctorily, his brows were still furrowed, and he looked at Mingshu with scrutiny from time to time.

Mingshu asked again, but Yan Ziqin's face became more and more gloomy, and Mingshu said angrily, "What's wrong with you, you still have such a face when you go home! If something happens in the court, tell me, Even if you can't help, it can relieve the boredom in your heart, so why bother to be sulky, it makes me feel uncomfortable when I see you."

Seeing that Mingshu was about to leave the room, Yan Ziqin, who was sitting in the top chair, quickly held her hand, feeling cold. It turned out that Mingshu had already wiped away tears secretly when his back was turned to him. No wonder, after being together for a year and a half, She had never seen Yan Ziqin treat herself so coldly, but today she suddenly changed her attitude. Thinking of what happened to Yuan Yi, she couldn't help but feel sad, afraid of falling into the same situation.

"Okay, stop crying." Yan Ziqin pulled Mingshu over and made her stand between his legs, and wiped away her wronged tears with his slightly rough thumb, "There is something, let's talk."

His tone was heavy and forbearing, as if there was something extremely important to announce. Mingshu was startled, and sobbed, "Are you... someone outside?" In fact, she was a little strange last night. I didn't get close to her, I thought it was because he was too tired, but the next day it seemed like a different person, the only explanation Ming Shu could think of was that he started to change his mind.

Yan Ziqin's eyes darkened, and he said, "Why do you think so?"

Ming Shu said, "Otherwise what do you want to talk about?"

Yan Ziqin paused, his throat seemed to be heavy, and after pondering for a long time, he finally opened his mouth, "Why did you ask Chunxiu to buy abortion medicine?" When Xu An told him, he couldn't believe it, but the facts were right in front of him. Will not lie.

"What? Abortion pills?" Mingshu was very surprised. She didn't expect that what Yuan Yi really wanted was abortion pills.

Yan Ziqin nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Don't tell me you don't know about this, what on earth do you want abortion pills for?"

Mingshu murmured: "I didn't expect it to be used for abortion... I mean, this medicine is not for me."

Yan Ziqin raised his long eyebrows, a trace of suspicion flashed in his bright eyes, his wife secretly bought abortion pills, this kind of abnormal behavior is suspicious and dangerous in the eyes of any man, and people have to think—— She wanted to abort the fetus without her husband knowing, why?
Yan Ziqin is also a mortal, and he cannot be exempt, but he chooses to believe in his wife because he is willing to believe in Mingshu. He has seen his wife drink medicine hard every day to replenish her body. Ming Shu went to such a point.If, because of this, he and his wife fall out, no matter what the result is, their relationship will be like broken porcelain, and it will be difficult to restore it to its original state.

"I want to hear you tell me the reason, who is this medicine for." He tried his best not to sound like he was questioning, holding her cold hand was actually comforting himself and calming himself down.

Mingshu thought for a while, and decided to confess to him, and said softly: "You should know that I have a friend, the daughter of Taipu Siqing Yuan Tingyong's family, named Yuan Yizhen..."
