Chapter 24 Master of Meiyuan
The hall finally quieted down, and the women outside the hall also left with their masters, and the plum garden returned to that quiet.
Murong Qing slowly walked to Murong Wan's side, touched Murong Wan's hair with affection, and sighed: "Brother made Wan'er tired!" His eyes are full of self-reproach and resentment.
"What did my brother say? Wan'er's own body is disappointing!" Murong Wan took the medicine, and her little face blushed and looked at Murong Qing's big eyes, which were watery. The corners of her lips were raised, and she smiled, and there was a faint bitter smile.
Lin Yi stood aside and took the expressions of both of them in his eyes. Murong Wan's pain comes from the body, while Murong Qing's pain comes more from the heart, which is a powerless and helpless pain. Although he knew how his beloved sister was suffering, he could not save her immediately.
"Prince..." Hongyu and Hongzhu didn't dare to get up without Murong Qing's words. Hongyu shouted in a timid voice.
"Get up first! My brother also knows that it's not your fault and won't blame you!" ..." However, Murong Qing also agreed to punish them just now. Although Murong Wan said so, Hongyu did not dare to get up rashly when she was not forgiven by Murong Qing.
Although he didn't know whether Hongzhu knew about poisoning Murong Wan, he couldn't wait to kill these two people directly when he thought that the poison Wan'er took every day was poured into the body through the hands of Hongzhu and Hongyu. But now he can't. On the one hand, he has to find a way to quit Wan'er's poison, and on the other hand, he has to collect information through the two of them to defeat Princess Nalan in one fell swoop and disintegrate her power in the royal palace step by step. Otherwise, his Wan'er will be in greater danger in the future.
So he has to put up with it! Fortunately, there is one more person beside Wan'er now.
"From now on, all matters in Meiyuan will be left to Lin Yi. You two are not allowed to decide everything without authorization!" Murong Qing's maidservant stared at the trembling red jade and red beads on the ground, and was silent for a while before shouting, "Get up!"
"Thank you for your unpunishable kindness!" Hongyu kowtowed and thanked, then stood up respectfully and stepped aside.
Hongzhu turned around, and Lin Yi felt a flash of hatred and anger in Hongzhu's eyes.
"Wan'er, have a good rest. If anything happens in the future, just ask Lin Yi to come to his brother!" Murong Qing gently stroked Murong Wan's hair, stood up straight and told Lin Yi, "From now on, Miss and Meiyuan will be entrusted to you. You should pay more attention to it!"
Of course she knows what Murong Qing means! However, she still couldn't adapt for a while. How could she become the main girl of Meiyuan in an instant? Thinking of the instructions of Princess Murong and Aunt Su before leaving, it seems that she will be very peaceful in the future. However, I thought of the opportunity to have close contact with Murong Wan, and the two maids, Hongyu and Hongzhu, will also obey her in the future. It is finally much easier to help Murong Wan in the future.
First of all, let Murong Wan know her actual situation, and then discuss with them how to get out of the predicament. The most important thing is to search for evidence that Princess Murong harmed Murong Wan. It's just that Prince Murong's attitude towards Wan'er inevitably made her a little chill, and she was not sure whether the prince would finally come up for this daughter!
"I'm afraid you'll work hard in the future!" Murong Wan smiled and took Lin Yi's hand, which was particularly intimate.
"What does the young lady say? Taking care of the lady is what I should do!"
"You should also go to rest first! Let's talk about it tomorrow!"
"Ye! Good night, Miss!" As soon as Lin saw Murong Wan's tired face, he waved his hand and asked Hongyu to serve Murong Wan back to the embroidery building to rest. He did not look at Hongzhu. He raised his feet and went out of the hall door and went to the backyard. But I saw Xianglin's sister-in-law at the corner.
"Is your sister-in-law also shocked?" In the middle of the night, thinking that Xianglin's sister-in-law was suffering from leg disease, Lin Yi hurriedly took two steps to hold Xianglin's arm.
Xianglin's sister-in-law looked at Lin Yi sideways and smiled with satisfaction. Lin Yi, who had never seen Xianglin's smile, was shocked: "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with what I did?"
"No, you did a good job!" Xianglin nodded, and the two went back to the backyard together. I said goodbye to my sister-in-law, went back to my room, simply washed up and lay down **, but fell asleep for a moment.
The next day, Xianglin's sister-in-law did not come to call the door. When Lin woke up, she and Hongzhu were already busy in the kitchen.
"Sister-in-law, why didn't you call me?" As soon as Lin raised his feet, he went to help Xianglin cook breakfast.
Xianglin's sister-in-law waved her hand: "You go and get today's case first. When the young lady eats too much breakfast, I'm afraid there are a lot of things to discuss with you!"
Lin Yi thought for a moment. She did have a lot of things to discuss with Murong Wan, and Murong Qing hinted at herself when she left yesterday that today she would give him what she found and let him find out where it came from.
So he was not polite to Xianglin's sister-in-law. He jumped out of the yard and went straight to the direction of Zhiquan Pavilion.
"Is this what you call poison?" Murong Qing took the white powder wrapped in the Jinpa handed to her by Lin Yi, and his face was puzzled.
"Yes! This thing is extracted from the fruit of a plant called poppy!"
"Poppy? What is it?
"This kind of thing blooms beautifully. The slurry in the fruit can be made into opium and contains many kinds of drug ingredients. Eating less has medicinal value, but taking it for a long time can make people addicted and eventually lead to human exhaustion!" Lin Yi tried his best to make his explanation sound calm, but when he heard 'death', the two couldn't help fighting a cold war.
"Can such a small white have such a great effect?" Murong Qing has never seen such a thing and is not proficient in pharmacologicals. He always feels that he still has some doubts.
Lin nodded, but secretly doubted: "Hasn't you heard of this medicine?" I think this medicine was first used in the army to relieve pain and anesthesia for seriously injured people. Although Murong Qing did not appear as an official, at least he was a third-grade servant of the emperor, and this medicine came from the palace, so at least he should have heard of it.
Murong Qing shook his head: "I've never heard of it!"
"This medicine was first used in the army to relieve pain and anesthesia when treating seriously injured people, but the prince has never heard of it?" Lin Yi paused for a moment and suddenly said, "But this medicine is very precious, and ordinary people can't afford it. It's not surprising that the prince hasn't heard of it."
"Used in the military? Extremely precious? That is to say, this medicine is indeed from the palace?" Murong Qing asked back. It seems that the person who poisoned Wan'er is undoubtedly the princess. Moreover, according to Lin Yi's words, this medicine is very precious, so there must be certain regulations in the palace, which is not available to everyone. Moreover, it has been continuously supplied for so many years. Just? Murong Qing suddenly thought of something and looked at Lin Yi suspiciously and asked, "How do you know such a precious thing?" And do you know her efficacy well? Who the hell are you?"
Good boy! Finally, he also doubted himself, but Lin Yiyi expected this early and said without thinking about it: "There was a serious illness in my hometown. A traveling doctor sold such a elixir to him. At the beginning, he did cure his disease, but from then on, he relied on this medicine and scattered all his wealth, and finally Or died of poison."
I remembered her wit and all kinds of demeanor when I first met Lin. In addition, I have always suspected that she was a noble girl who was exiled outside. Since she is very likely to be a boudoir of everyone who was exiled by everyone, it is reasonable to know this kind of thing. Murong Qing hesitated a little and believed what she said.
There is only one more thing. Wan'er's medicine has always been taken care of by Hongzhu and has never been faked by others. How did she know that Wan'er's medicine was mixed with this ingredient?
Looking at Murong Qing's eyes that had just turned into Qingming, he became suspicious again. Lin Yi's face turned red and lowered his head and said embarrassedly, "Well, once, I accidentally tasted two bites while Hongzhu was not there... Later, my body was abnormal... I found that there was... I knew it..." He said that the voice behind was as low as a mosquito, a His face turned even more red to the root of his neck.
Murongqing was so embarrassing that he found that Wan'er was very poisonous. She just said that she was a lady, and now she became a thief who stole the master's soup and medicine! I can't help touching my forehead. What kind of woman is this in front of me? But if she hadn't been so greedy, she wouldn't have found Wan'er's secret. Looking down and seeing Lin Yi with an embarrassed face, Murong Qing secretly squeezed his lips and smiled, "Let's plan how to get out of trouble!"
Lin Yi raised his eyes and looked at Murong Qing gratefully and said in a reasonable voice, "For today's plan, I must first tell the situation to the young lady, and then find a way to help her get away from drug addiction. It's better for us to pay attention and let the young lady out of the house!"
Murong Qing nodded as he listened. When he heard that he was going to leave the house, he was very puzzled: "Do you have to leave the house?"
"Ye" Lin nod: "The process of detoxification is quite painful. Miss must not be able to stand shouting. In this way, she can't hide it from the people in the house. If that person is shocked at that time, I'm afraid there will be trouble!"
Murong Qing thought it and thought it was reasonable, but what kind of reason should he think of to make Prince Murong and the princess feel at ease to let a deep boudoir stay single? If it is not handled properly and spread out, it will also damage Wan'er's reputation.
As if knowing what Murong Qing was thinking, Lin Yi bit his lip: "It's just that the reason for leaving the house must be sufficient, and the two girl Hongyu and Hongzhu must be with him, as well as the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor. Miss, if you want to completely quit drug addiction, I'm afraid it will take at least three or five months. If you want the unsuspecting consent of the house for such a long time, I'm afraid it's not easy to do!"
Murong Qing looked up at Lin Yi, and his eyes were surprised and surprised by his confidant.
"Let me think about this! At present, you have to take more care of Wan'er! That medicine?" When it comes to the medicine, Murong Qing's face is full of pain and resentment.
"Miss has to take that medicine temporarily, but I will reduce the amount of the medicine little by little. After taking it for so many years, it is also difficult to suddenly quit!"
"All right! Everything is for you!" Murong Qing knew that Lin Yi's words were true, so he had to hold back the pain in his heart. He just hoped that with Lin Yi by Wan'er, everything would be better!
"The prince is my savior, and I will do my best to protect the lady!" After Lin finished speaking, he looked at the sky outside and left.
Looking at Lin Yi's departure, Murong Qing's heart lake rippled slightly, full of touching feelings!
