The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 171
Ouyang Jingde's ability to handle affairs is really extraordinary, the next day when the snow stopped slightly and Ouyang's old lady hadn't gotten up yet, Ouyang Jingde stood on the porch with the prescription list, and her birth mother rushed to Ouyang Jingde with a few maids on her back. Winking: "The old lady didn't sleep well last night, have you figured it out?"

Although Ouyang Jingde is an offshoot of Ouyang's family, she did not dare to act presumptuously in front of the old lady's confidant birth mother. After hearing this question, she hurriedly laughed and said, "Don't worry, birth mother. I will leave early in the morning after curfew is lifted." When I went out to inquire about this matter, I already knew it clearly, and the old lady in custody heard it clearly."

The birth mother chanted Amitabha, and couldn't help laughing: "Very good, very good, this matter is done properly, the old lady will reward you with many benefits!"

Ouyang Jingde hesitated, "It's just that when I got up early and went out, I was bumped into by the second master. I had no excuses, so I showed the prescription list to the second master."

The birth mother's face was unhappy, the second master was really, he must have gone to a place like the brothel Chu Guan last night, and only entered the house in a daze early in the morning.When I was in Yangzhou, the old man was watching, but now it's fine, the old lady can't say anything, and the second old man became more and more wanton.

"Birth mother?" Ouyang Jingde tentatively called the other party's name, the birth mother restrained her gloomy expression, and said indifferently: "It's not a problem, the old lady didn't want to hide it from the second master, but she only valued your maturity."

Ouyang Jingde had a smile on her face: "Isn't this all the decency given to me by my birth mother in front of the old lady, otherwise, I would still be moldy in that corner now! How come the recent scenery?"

The birth mother was so comfortable being flattered by the conversation, the two simply stood on the porch and talked about their family's grievances. The woman who was serving beside her had already brought out the best silver frost charcoal and put it beside her. movement.

The birth mother waved her hand at Ouyang Jingde: "Wait a minute, I'll go in and have a look." After a while, a little maid came out to invite Ouyang Jingde, and Ouyang Jingde straightened the corners of her clothes before stepping into the inner room. .

The old lady Ouyang was combing her hair in front of the mirror. A little maid was kneeling on the ground, and a big emerald lotus leaf tray was held high above her head. The plain color of Wentuan is as light as green clouds, and the color as rich as dendrobium orchids, both of which are on the plate.

Ouyang Jingde came over and said with a smile: "People say that girls from the Xing family are good at growing flowers, but we don't know that our old lady is a master at it. The flowers of the Xing family will always fail one day, but this old lady is four seasons." not bad."

The old lady Ouyang brushed the fragments of hair between her temples, and when he heard what he said, she smiled and said: "You monkey, you are right today. Those who know how to grow flowers but never brag about themselves, that's not true." Yes, but spread it out every day, for fear that others would not know the famous species in their family. In fact, flowers and luck are the same. There is always a failure when a flower blooms. The person who wears it is careful, and it will always be new in all seasons."

Everyone knew what the old lady was referring to, and they all laughed at the same time, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became much more relaxed, the birth mother looked at the old lady's face, and hurriedly dismissed the remaining maids, leaving only Ouyang Jingde in the room with her to wait on.

"Is it done?"

"Returning to the old lady, as you expected, there is indeed something wrong with this prescription." Ouyang Jingde took out the prescription from his cuff: "There is a miracle doctor on the East Street, surnamed Zheng, who has some supernatural powers. So I went to pay a visit. This Dr. Zheng is indeed quite capable. He can tell the origin of the medicine when he sees it. He said that the prescription must have been written by his brother. After taking a medicine, it can make the whole body soft and weak. It looks like a serious illness, but no cause can be found, and the other is an antidote, which specifically restrains the former."

Ouyang Jingde looked at the old lady's face, and said cautiously: "Then Dr. Zheng asked me about the origin of the prescription. My nephew was daring, so he mentioned the Xing family a little bit. Dr. Zheng told me that his senior brother Mi Taiji and the Xing family It’s very close, and the son of Song Lian, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, played a big role in this.”

The old lady Ouyang looked at each other in surprise: "Are you sure?"

"My nephew doesn't dare to speak nonsense, it is indeed what Dr. Zheng said personally."

The old lady Ouyang got up and paced around the house, her steps were messy and without any order.The birth mother and Ouyang Jingde looked at each other, knowing that the old lady must have lost her mind at this time, as a confidant, the birth mother, how could she see the master's own distress and not stand up to make up her mind, so she hurriedly said: "This must be the Xing family The poisonous plan, old lady, His Royal Highness the fifth prince is very inexperienced, if it is really according to the Xing family's intention to use this thing to kill any nobleman in the palace, our family will definitely not be able to escape the responsibility."

Ouyang Jingde hesitated for a moment: "I don't think so. No matter how stupid the Xing family is, they would not use this method rashly. Who are they going to poison? It can't be"

Only then did Ouyang Jingde point her finger at it, and the old lady yelled: "Stop talking nonsense, such rebellious words are also nonsense? The fifth prince is my grandson, he has something good or bad, you should be Can our Ouyang family take care of themselves? The current grace is all for His Majesty's sake of the fifth prince."

Ouyang Jingde smiled embarrassingly: "Nephew, don't you plan ahead for a rainy day, for fear of trouble!"

The birth mother gave him a reproachful look and motioned him to shut up quickly.The old lady Ouyang was silent for a long while: "No, the Xing family has always made decisions before deciding. This medicine does not seem to be given to any noble master. Their family will not ask anyone to hold it because of this. I suspect that it is His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince. Something went wrong."

The two were shocked: "Old lady, His Highness can't be hurt."

"I don't need you to tell me the truth, but His Highness has always been strong, and he won't tell us the truth easily."

Ouyang Jingde and the birth mother both smiled wryly in their hearts when they heard the words: His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince doesn't talk to their family at all, let alone tell the truth.But in front of the old lady, the two of them dared not hum such hurtful words.

The old lady Ouyang thought about the words that Kang's mother said to herself, carefully analyzing the hidden meaning of each sentence.

The fifth prince sent someone out of the palace overnight to ask for medicine, there must have been a sudden accident, otherwise he would not have allowed his subordinates to run around during the curfew.With His Highness's current status, he just opened his mouth if he wanted to kill an ordinary person, so it may not be so mobilizing.So he must have kept the pill for himself.

But His Highness is very polite, what is the use of this kind of medicine that can make people fall into a serious illness?The Xing family gave it without any hesitation, and had prepared for a long time before using it when the time was right.

"not good!"

The old lady seemed to understand something, she screamed, and hurriedly said: "Hurry up, prepare the carriage, I'm going to the palace to see His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince."

Ouyang Jingde didn't dare to delay, she hurriedly called outside to pull up a carriage, and personally escorted the old lady and birth mother to Shenwumen.The gatekeeper knew that it was the fifth prince's grandfather's family asking for an audience, so he didn't dare to make things difficult, and let their carriage pass directly.

At this moment, Zhengde was reading "Zhuan Guozhuan" in the room, and the eunuch Xiao Shunzi suddenly ran in happily: "Your Highness, you really are here."

Zhengde put down the book with a smile, and took out a small brocade box from his cuff. Xiao Shunzi looked at it eagerly: "Your Highness, otherwise, it's better not to eat it. This stuff always looks creepy. Let's just lie on the bed and pretend It’s all about the illness, and I put on the face powder used by the maids, and I can hide it no matter what!”

"No! There's a difference between pretending to be sick and being really sick. Since my sister has put in so much effort, it's so easy to get the Ouyang family hooked. If it's really my fault, how can I go home to see my sister in the future?"

Xiao Shunzi didn't dare to say anything anymore, the master was shrewd and strong in everything, but he just listened to Miss Xing too much.Xiao Shunzi had no doubts at all, even if Miss Xing said that the stinky tofu was delicious, His Highness would have to slap her hands and say yes.

Zhengde took the pills in the small brocade box down to the size of a grain of rice, and stuffed them into his mouth without hesitation. Xiao Shunzi quickly brought the tea, and Zhengde felt the pills in his throat slipping down the water .The medicine used was an ingenuity, so the effect of the medicine was very fast. Before Xiao Shunzi could understand what was going on, Zhengde's feet went limp, and he slumped on the chair.His whole body was limp and weak, his face was burning with pain, and his limbs couldn't exert any strength at all.

Xiao Shunzi was terrified, and hurriedly helped the fifth prince to the bed, Zhengde pushed gently with all his strength: "The effect of the medicine will pass soon, call the Ouyang family to come in."

Xiao Shunzi barely managed to calm down, and hurried out to call for someone.

In this room, the old lady Ouyang had already greeted the queen, and was heading towards Yuntai, when she suddenly saw Xiao Shunzi flustered at the gate of the palace, the old lady had a bad feeling in her heart.When she saw Zhengde again, the old lady's heart was broken.

"My lord, what's going on!" the old lady cried bitterly.

Xiao Shunzi choked with sobs and said, "Your Highness has been suffering for some time, but she dare not miss her homework, and has been holding on all the time."

The old lady had a straight face and opened her mouth to scold: "Your Highness is still a child, so it is common sense not to understand these things, but what about those waiters? Zhuan'er is there, ask her to come out, I want to ask, how does she take care of His Highness?"

The old lady Ouyang has always wanted to put her maid beside the fifth prince, firstly to take care of him, and secondly to monitor the interaction between the Xing family and His Highness.But the fifth prince didn't give her this chance at all, as long as Ouyang's family mentioned that she wanted to give it away, His Highness would be furious.

And that Zhuan'er is the servant of the Xing family.

The old lady Ouyang must be unwilling, so she took the opportunity to make trouble.

Zhuan'er has been promoted to be the female official next to the Fifth Prince, and everyone in the Zhengde Palace respectfully calls her "Sister Zhuan'er".The old lady Ouyang didn't care about these things, in her opinion, Zhuan'er was a servant from the Xing family, and she didn't have the same heart with herself, and finally she wanted to find an excuse to get rid of this disaster.

"How do you take care of His Highness? Such a big mess, if you don't report it to the empress, will you let His Highness fall ill?"

Zhuan'er glanced at the old lady indifferently: "My servant has already invited people from the Imperial Hospital to give His Highness a pulse for peace. As for the empress, I think it's better to keep it a secret."
