Chapter 254 Outbreak of Plague 1
Leng Xiao avoided it sideways, but unexpectedly there was a short dagger hidden in Wen'er's left hand. Leng Xiao only avoided her palm wind, but did not pay attention to the position of the dagger. Wen'er later came up and held her neck with a dagger.
"You are definitely not an ordinary girl!" Leng Xiao said in a low voice.
Wen'er looked at him and said, "Brother Leng, I was so close to you for the first time, but I didn't expect it to be in this situation!" It's really ironic."
Leng Xiao closed his eyes and said, "Now I'm your defeated general. If you want to kill, you can do as much as you want."
Wen'er heard this and smiled slightly. The dagger in her hand went a little deeper into her neck, which was against Leng Xiao's skin and flesh.
"Brother Leng, how can I be willing to let you die? As long as you promise me that I won't see that stinky girl again in the future, I will let you go."
There was no wave on Leng Xiao's face, "It's impossible!"
Wen'er was furious, and the strength of her hand increased a little. The dagger was so sharp that it faintly cut through Leng Xiao's neck and oozed blood.
"Brother Leng, would you rather die by yourself than see that girl?"
Wen'er's voice trembled with a trace of pleading.
Leng Xiao closed her eyes and said, "Yes."
Such a firm word suddenly broke Wen'er's strong heart. She opened a pair of big eyes, and tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes, "Brother Leng, why... why can't you try to accept me? Even if it's a lie to coax me, it's a pity that you don't even want to coax me..."
Wen'er said, the strength in her hand weakened, and her hands quickly clicked a few acupuncture points on Leng Xiao's body.
Leng Xiao looked at her and said, "What do you want to do?"
Wen'er took the dagger and looked at Leng Xiao and said, "What I can't get, I won't let others get it!"
With that, Wen'er turned around and said, "I'm going to kill that bitch!"
Leng Xiao was shocked, "Hold!"
Wen'er turned her head, looked at Leng Xiao's eager face, and said with tears, "Brother Leng, every time I see you, you are cold and calm, but this time the panic is for other women."
Leng Xiao trembled his lips and said, "If you kill her, I will kill you, and I will hate you for the rest of my life!"
Wen'er heard this and couldn't support it. The moonlight outside the window sprinkled in, lonely and cold. Wen'er stood in front of the table, held the table with one hand, raised her head and looked at Leng Xiao quietly, "Brother Leng, you are so cruel, do you know, my heart hurts so much, it hurts to die, it hurts like crazy..."
She shouted hysterically and lowered her head. Tears slid down like broken beads, drop by drop, falling on the table in front of her, forming a pool of water stains.
After a long time, Wen'er straightened up and said calmly, "Brother Leng, I know your status is extraordinary. What if I can help you achieve your wish? Are you willing to accept me?
Leng Xiao was stunned, and then a murderous look suddenly appeared in his eyes, "What do you know?"
Wen'er smiled, "You don't have to worry. I didn't investigate you. It's just that I pay more attention to you than others, so I see your purpose. Brother Leng, you don't whisper. If you are willing to accept me, I will bring you one-third of the soldiers and horses of the Western Regions."
As soon as this was said, Leng Xiao was shocked. He hurriedly asked, "Who the hell are you?"
Wen'er smiled and stepped forward and said a few words in Leng Xiao's ear. Leng Xiao was shocked, "How is that possible?"
Wen'er smiled and said, "It's impossible for Brother Leng to know as soon as he tries."
Leng Xiao looked at Wen'er's confident appearance and knew that what Wen'er said was not false. In addition to being shocked, she also had some expectations.
Wen'er saw Leng Xiao's silent appearance and knew that he had believed his words. He squeezed his lips and smiled and said, "Brother Leng, don't be in a hurry to give me an answer. I'll give you three days to think about it."
After saying that, Wen'er turned around and walked out.
Leng Xiao was stunned in place. He thought about what Wen'er told him just now. What flashed in front of him was Jiu'er's face. He remembered the first meeting between the two, by the pond of the prime minister's mansion, the second time, on the dark street, the third time, in the backyard of the royal palace... Leng Xiao's memories seemed to be able to remember. Knowing the weather and temperature at that time, he had seen many women, as beautiful as Meng Xianya, as witty as Zheng Hanxiu, and as beautiful as Xia Mengning, but there was no woman like her.
Her body is thin and small, but her eyes are wet and lovely. There is always a smile on her white jade-like face, and even the upturned little nose bridge is indescribably cute.
Leng Xiao closed her eyes and recalled every scene where he and Jiu'er met. Involuntarily, a smile overflowed from the corners of his mouth.
When I opened my eyes, I was facing the world in front of me. My mother's advice before her death, and my belief in being humiliated for so many years, now as long as I nodded, I can get it easily. Leng Xiao was entangled and even ignored the body that the acupuncture point had been automatically untied, and still stood motionless.
The next day, Meng Xianya arrived in Changsunzhi's bedroom early. Changsunzhi just got up and was being dressed by the maid. Seeing Meng Xianya coming, she was quite surprised, "Why are you here?"
Meng Xianya smiled and said, "I haven't seen the prince for many days. I came early today to serve the prince."
Changsun Zhi said faintly, "No, I have to discuss important things with Yun'er today. I don't have time to accompany you. You can leave first."
When Meng Xianya heard this, she secretly said that she had come at the right time. She couldn't help but come forward with a smile. She reached out and took the coat from the maid beside her and put it on to put it on Changsunzhi and said, "My concubine, serve the prince."
The eldest grandson didn't say anything and let Meng Xianya dress him. Finally, Meng Xianya said, "Your Majesty, I haven't seen the prince for several days. I'm afraid that the prince is still angry with the concubine in the last few things. Today, I will go with the prince."
Changsun thought for a moment and nodded and said, "Okay."
The two had breakfast together and then went to find Changsun Yun.
Changsun Yun was reading a book at the table and was ready to go to the prison to pick up Xia Mengning from prison for a while. Now when he saw Changsun Zhi and Meng Xianya coming together, he stood up in surprise and said, "I've seen my father, the side concubine."
Changsun Zhi said, "Yun'er, I'm here to discuss with you what happened in the court yesterday."
Changsun Yun nodded. The two went to the chair on one side and sat down. The maid brought tea. Meng Xianya hurriedly said, "I'll do it!"
With that, he couldn't help taking the tea plate and turning his back to pour the tea.
Changsun Yun looked at Meng Xianya's back, and there was a faint light hidden in the corners of his eyes.
After pouring the tea, Meng Xianya came over and said, "Prince, please use tea, prince, please use tea!"
Changsun Zhi stretched out his hand to take the teacup and said, "Go down first. Yun'er and I have something to discuss."
Meng Xianya nodded respectfully and turned around and retreated.
Walking out of the room, Meng Xianya did not leave, but waited outside the house to observe Changsun Yun's movements.
After a while, Changsun Zhi came out and saw Meng Xianya. He was a little surprised and said, "Why are you still here?"
Meng Xianya was stunned and said hurriedly, "I haven't had time to leave... Your Highness, why did you come out so soon?"
The eldest grandson didn't care and said, "Yun'er is exhausted. After drinking a few sips of tea, she shouted a headache and went into the bedroom to sleep."
Meng Xianya was secretly happy and said, "Then let me go back with the prince."
On the streets of the capital, it was a lively time in the morning. The gate of Jiancun Pavilion, which used to be popular all over the capital, is no longer the scenery of the past. No one patronizes it in front of the door. The original lacquered gold door was also tightly closed. An old man squatted at the door like a beggar, lowering his head and doze.
At this moment, two middle-aged people came over, and a man and a woman helped each other, as if they were a couple.
The two walked to the door of Jiancun Pavilion and looked at the plaque on their heads and sighed. The man looked at it, turned his head and asked the beggar who was taking a nap beside him, "Isn't this Jiancun Pavilion open?"
The beggar raised his eyelids and curled his lips and said, "Who knows? Anyway, I haven't seen the door open for several days. What are you doing here?"
The man heard this and looked at the middle-aged woman beside him with an embarrassed face. The beggar saw it. He had some gossip and hurriedly said, "You are not here to treat the disease, right... Now who doesn't know that the medicine sold in Jiancun Pavilion is poisonous, otherwise how could the door be closed? If it hadn't been for the Prime Minister's mansion, it would have been dismantled early. Well, I heard that the shopkeeper, that is, the princess of Hehe, has been sent to prison and will be tried today.
As soon as the couple heard this, their faces became more solemn. At this moment, the woman beside the man shivered, and then her eyes turned over and fell to the ground.
The middle-aged man was shocked, hurriedly grabbed the woman's body, and shouted loudly, "Madam, what's wrong with you..."
For a while, the cry for help attracted a lot of people. The woman fell to the ground and her body was still twitching. After a while, she foamed white and lost her breath.
Everyone around was shocked. They were shocked when they saw the woman's death. The man kept crying heartbrokenly, "Madam, wake up..."
There are bold people around who can't help but come forward and say, "What's wrong with your wife? Why is your death so ugly?"
The man cried and said, "My wife was just weak at the beginning, because our husband and wife wanted to have children, so they came to Jiancun Pavilion for diagnosis and treatment. They wanted to get a medicinal diet to nourish her body. I didn't expect that she was fine at the beginning, but later my wife gradually fell ill, and her face had been bad, and she had always been low. Shao, we are from Shili Village in the suburbs of Beijing. Today, we came to ask the shopkeeper of Jiancun Pavilion for an explanation. I didn't expect that Jiancun Pavilion had been closed. My wife..."
Speaking of this, the man lowered his head to hug the woman's body again and cried sadly.
There is something wrong with the medicinal materials of Jiancun Pavilion, and Xia Mengning has been known for the suspected murder. Now that there is a living example in front of them, everyone is shocked and can't help whispering.
At this moment, an old man walked out of the crowd to the man and said, "I'm the doctor of Baorentang in the capital. I don't know if I can treat this lady."
When the man saw the old man's appearance, he said at ease, "Thank you, old man."
The old man squatted down, stretched out his hand to give the woman a pulse, and then reached out his hand to the man to get a pulse. He was shocked and said, "How long has your wife's low fever been?"
The man hurriedly said, "It seems that it's been three or four days..."
The old man's face was shocked, "If the old man is not diagnosed wrongly, your wife is infected with the plague..."
As soon as this sentence was said, it almost exploded in the crowd like a thunder. Everyone changed color and hurriedly retreated.
When the man saw it, he couldn't help but be angry, "Old man, why do you say that? Do you have evidence?"
The old man nodded, "Young man, you don't have to worry. How can an old man be a doctor who has been a doctor all his life? In his opinion, you must have been infected with the plague. Have you often had a dry tongue, sweating, weak limbs, and a irritable temper these days?"
The man was shocked and stepped back a few steps. Finally, he couldn't help falling to the ground. The old man's symptoms were all right. Could it be that he had also been infected with the plague?
After saying this, there was a humane in the crowd: "My God, I also have this symptom."
One after another, many people echoed. The old man said, "What have you all come into contact with?"
Those people, look at me and I look at you shaking your head. Suddenly, the man on the ground said, "Is it the medicinal diet of Jiancun Pavilion?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone couldn't help agreeing. The old man was shocked, "My God, is it possible that there is a source of plague in the medicinal diet of Jiancun Pavilion? This is bad. The whole capital will be infected with the plague."
