The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 167 Two Pills for Snowy Night Visitor
After getting off the kang from Fangguan, Xiuyan woke up completely.Meilian and Mio hid on purpose to create a good opportunity for Fangguan to be a thief in the middle of the night.The house was full of precious letterheads and letters, which Xiuyan had already put away by herself, and the ones left on the "bright side" were actually just fishing bait.

It has to be said that Fangguan does have a bit of talent for being a thief. She has studied opera for many years, and this girl is light and tall, standing on tiptoes, she can't hear the slightest noise at all.The room was quiet, Xiuyan was lying on the bed facing her, she was holding a pocket watch in her hand, the hands were ticking every minute and every second.

"Girl? Miss, are you asleep?" Mio's eager voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

Fangguan, who had just arrived in front of Duobao Pavilion, suddenly heard the movement, his legs went limp in fright, and he almost collapsed to the ground.When he realized that it was Mio calling the door outside, Fangguan subconsciously went to look at the girl on the bed.Seeing that the girl was sleeping peacefully, and she didn't seem to be disturbed at all, Fang Guan suppressed her panic.

Mio outside the door persevered, patting the door lightly: "Fang Guan? Open the door quickly! I have something to go back to the girl!"

Fang Guan supported the big book table in front of Duobao Pavilion, barely stood up, walked over with trembling legs, calmed down, and then gently opened the door of the inner room: "Sister Miying, what's the matter? Girl, rest early Already!"

Mio didn't have time to argue with her, she pushed Fang Guan away, didn't "notice" Fang Guan's bare feet, and just walked straight to the bed.

"Girl, girl! Wake up quickly. Grandpa Pingan from the palace is here!"

When Fangguan who was at the back heard this, his heart pounded.

Eunuch Pingan is the little eunuch next to the fifth prince, because he can flatter the Lu family, he is the favorite of the fifth prince, and he is regarded as a confidant by the fifth prince. In the middle of the night, the palace gate was closed early, but Eunuch Pingan came to Fengwei alley, Something must have happened.

Fang Guan put on a small jacket and walked towards the bed. Mi Ying held a small dim light in her hand, and when she heard the movement behind her, she hurriedly said: "Miss is thirsty, go get a glass of honey water."

Seeing that the girl was sleepy, Fang Guan hesitated for a moment, but still obediently walked towards the flower table.Fangguan's footsteps were light and slow, but it was a pity that Mio's voice was too low for her to hear clearly.When she came back after pouring the water, before she got close, Mio had already closed her mouth vigilantly, refusing to say a word.

"Girl, drink water!" Fang Guan handed the cup, while carefully paying attention to the girl's expression.Surprisingly serious, there is no smile on his face, it is full of shrewdness.

It must be a big deal!Fangguan felt that one of his feet had already stepped on the corner of this secret, and his heart was filled with excitement, wishing that the girl would speak immediately and expose this secret.

Xiuyan took the cup, the water was warm, moistening her dry throat.Mio saw that the girl had been silent for a long time, and she was a little anxious: "Girl, Eunuch Ping'an is waiting at the back door now, and the car that delivers water from Yuquan Mountain will enter the palace in a few hours. If Eunuch Ping'an can't take this opportunity to go back , I'm afraid it will be discovered by others. At that time, His Highness will not be able to escape the charge of lax governance."

Fang Guan looked at the girl's expression with a low eyebrow, wishing she could answer for her.

Xiuyan pondered for a long time before looking at Meiying: "You stay here and tell Fangguan to go to the back door to bring in Mrs. Ping'an." Miying looked at Fangguan suspiciously: "Girl, can she do it?"

Fangguan was delighted in his heart, and hurriedly responded: "Don't worry, girl, I will definitely bring Mr. Ping'an in, so that no one else will suspect him. The garden is quiet at this time, but I saw the patrolling lady. I just said this is our yard." A stray cat sneaked in, and everyone was disturbed, so I asked a boy to come in and catch it."

Xiuyan smiled: "Go, this matter is very important, I will trust you just once!"

Fangguan was about to leave with a smile, but Xiuyan stopped her: "It's snowing outside, you can go in my sable-chin warm jacket!" Fangguan was so flattered that he refused twice, but Still put on a small jacket, asked the two little maids who were serving in the main room to follow, and carried a bright tile lamp by themselves, and the three of them tremblingly faced the wind and snow and headed towards the back garden.

It took only a cup of tea for Fangguan to arrive late with someone, Miying had already cleared out the little maids serving in the main room, Xiuyan was wearing homely old clothes, sitting on the imperial concubine chair outside, looking indifferently By.

"Slave please greet Ms. Xing!" Ping'an came up and called, Mio hurriedly moved a small stool to sit with him, then turned her head and smiled with Fangguan who came in together: "Please work harder, sister, go outside and watch, I'm here Serving is enough."

Fangguan scolded secretly, but he didn't dare to contradict Mio, he could only close the door of the main room with a smile, and stood in the porch wearing a small jacket.Voices in the main room could be faintly heard, Fang Guan pressed one ear to the door, carefully distinguishing the conversations of the three people inside.

The little eunuch Pingan had a distressed look on his face: "Now Your Highness doesn't dare to eat indiscriminately, but all the food and drink are passed through the hands of slaves and Huangmao. That's it, this is the third time this month. Huang Momo is worried that if things go on like this, His Highness's body will be hollowed out from the inside. Now the palace is whispering criticisms, saying that our Highness is a medicine pot, which is against the palace!"

Zhengde is already cautious and does not give anyone an excuse to do something, but it is still difficult to escape the hands of the women in the palace.Those women tampered with Zhengde's diet, often causing the child to have a stomachache and a small fever. Zhengde didn't pay attention at first, but after calling the imperial doctor a few times, Xiaozong noticed it, and specially called Zhengde to the nursery school. Xindian went to ask questions.

Zhengde had no proof, so he had no choice but to insist that his body was weak, and he did not dare to wrong people casually.

The villain got more and more daring, and spread rumors in the palace, saying that the fifth prince's fate was rough and he would not live to grow up.

Eunuch Pingan looked at Xiuyan aggrievedly: "This time, Your Highness has made up his mind to give those vicious things a little color. Your Highness said that Miss Xing has everything he wants, and told the servant to avoid everyone and quietly Come get it."

Xiuyan hesitated: "Although I prepared to take it long ago, Kazuya told Zhengde that the medicine was too effective. He is still young, and he will definitely have sequelae in the future. I don't agree with him using it!"

Ping An hurriedly said: "Your Highness already guessed that the girl was thinking of him, that's why he asked the servant to report to the girl. His Highness will ask the Lord Long Live to allow him to go to the Huangzhuang to recuperate afterwards. First, to avoid the limelight, second, to accumulate his own power, and third Come on, so that Lord Long Live always thinks about His Highness's hardships, knocking mountains and shaking tigers, so that those who do evil things weigh His Highness's weight in the heart of Long Live God."

Xiuyan laughed: "Look at him, he has thought of everything, if I don't agree again, it will appear that I have dragged him down! Forget it!" Xiuyan called Mi Ying: "Bring the things!"

Fangguan outside the door hurriedly sneaked to the main room facing the big window, and through the window, saw Mio take down a small brocade box as big as a palm from the top of Duobao Pavilion.Fangguan noticed that a letter fell down the brocade box. Mio must have been in a hurry, and there was no light in the room, so she didn't see anything left behind. The letter fluttered and fell on the desk all the time. in a small corner on the inside.

Fangguan kept it in his heart, turned around and returned to the main entrance.

In the main room, Xiuyan took the brocade box from Mi Ying and opened it gently, revealing two longan-sized pills inside.One dark brown and one bright red.

"This medicine is too powerful. Mix half a brown pill with warm salt water," Xiuyan said cautiously. Don’t lose out on small things.”

Eunuch Pingan took the brocade box with a pious heart, and silently recited Miss Xing's words twice in his heart before getting up to leave.

As soon as Fangguan heard the movement inside, he hid in the distance.Miying personally sent Ping An out, it was already three quarters of the ugly hour, Xiuyan was exhausted, Fang Guan served her to lie down, and when she returned to the kang in the coat room, she turned her heels, turned her back to Xiuyan and quickly put the The letterhead in the corner was tucked into his cuff.

Early the next morning, Daiyu held Xueyan's hand, and the two walked along the chaoshou veranda to Xiuyan's house.Fang Guan was calling some young maidservants to tidy up the bedding, when he saw Daiyu coming, he was busy serving tea in the outer room: "Young lady went to bed late last night, and you haven't woken up yet!"

Daiyu didn't feel strange: "Could it be that the incense didn't work well yesterday?" As she said that, she was about to go in for a visit.

Fang Guan held her tightly: "Miss Lin..." She told Lin Daiyu about the safety of the eunuch sent by His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince last night.

Daiyu's face darkened: "Who else have you told this to?"

Fang Guan hurriedly apologized: "Ms. Lin is like a good person to our girls. Except for Miss Lin, how can I tell others?"

"You were sent by the old lady to the eldest sister. You were originally from the Rongguo Mansion. I can tell that you are a smart girl. You should understand who is your master now. Don't show your loyalty wrongly. My sister hates it, even I can't save you!"

Fang Guan blushed all over his face, and promised to do what he promised.

Daiyu left Xueyan behind, and went into the inner room alone. As soon as she came in, she found that the elder sister was half sitting on the bed, wearing a single dress, and holding a copy of "The Equal Discussions of All Masters" in her hand.

Just as Daiyu hurried over, she put the little jacket on the back of the chair on Xiuyan, and took down the book with a disapproving expression on her face: "Sister, I will take care of you, so why bother? I will take care of Mom. , you just have to sleep well, and you must have nothing to worry about."

Xiuyan smiled and sighed softly: "I'm afraid that troubles will come one after another, and I won't be able to rest for a moment. Fortunately, I have my sister to help, otherwise, I would have fallen ill early. It just so happens that you are here, and I have something to talk to you about." Discussion, now is the New Year's Eve, the concierge has already received a bunch of invitations, I just look at it, just go back to my mother's house, let her decide whether to go or not. There is only one, the old lady of Rongguo Mansion invited our family Going to the house to eat wine on the second day of the Lunar New Year, this cannot be rejected anyway. I thought about it, and the gifts given in previous years were a bit vulgar. This year, I should change the look, but ask my sister what she thinks? Another one. Sister Bao is going to get married after the next year, so we two should give something different to show that we are easy to be different."

Daiyu lowered her head slightly, and then said with a smile: "Elder sister, don't worry, I've already thought about the gift for Sister Bao!"
