After leaving the east chamber and entering the west chamber, Duanmu Xinmiao was dressed neatly. She was leaning on the couch and drinking tea slowly. The waiters stood behind her with their hands down, looking at the clouds and the breeze, as if nothing had happened. Same.
As soon as Wei Changying glanced at her, she was drinking tea with her left hand and her dominant right arm was carefully hanging on the table. He knew that the maid who went to report the news was not wrong. Duanmu Xinmiao's right arm must have been touched. The hairpin was scratched.
Seeing Wei Changying come in, Huang arranged for the servants who were keeping an eye on Duanmu Xinmiao and not going to get involved with Deng Wanwan, and they quickly saluted. Captain Wei rolled up his sleeves and ordered them all to leave first.
When there were only two people left in the room, Wei Zhangying asked: "Where are you injured? I just saw that Wanwan was covered in bruises and purples, and I thought you were also applying medicine! You were injured so quickly. Is it all done?" From the reputation point of view, Duanmu Xinmiao should be more powerful, but in Wei Changying's eyes, these two are both delicate masters. Deng Wanwan was seriously injured, and Duanmu Xinmiao didn't expect to get much better.
Duanmu Xinmiao said casually: "The scratch on my right arm was a bit severe, so I bandaged it. For the bruises on other places, just applying ointment alone would not be enough to go back and take a medicinal bath? I am a doctor, how should I deal with these injuries? You have your own ideas. You don’t have to follow ordinary people’s methods like her.”
Wei Changying sat down next to her at the desk and said softly: "What do you want me to say about you? Queen Cai and her son are thousands of miles away. Even if you flatten and round Wanwan and his sister, they will be useless." It's beyond the reach of the whip! Let's just say that Concubine Deng can't dominate Queen Cai and her son. Even if she can, how can such a person who has been a noble in the palace for a long time be so easy to coerce? As I just said to Mr. Deng, she might I heard that something happened here with Mr. Deng, and he will do something to Prince Cai and his son immediately, so that you don’t even dare to move!”
"I know." Duanmu Xinmiao took a breath and blew away the hair that was scattered in front of her forehead. She spread her hands and said helplessly, "But it's okay if the concubine doesn't say those threatening words. Now that she has said it, I won't Do something. Maybe she thinks I'm easy to bully and wants to bully me even more!"
Wei Changying said: "If you want the imperial concubine to be afraid of you, instead of treating you as someone who is easy to coax or scare, you should tell me! Wouldn't it be better for me to give you a comprehensive idea? I won't even say hello. Just take action. Look what happened in the middle of the night. It’s a shame that Wanwan didn’t tell the truth! Otherwise, there’s no way he could have gotten away with the excitement today! It’s a big deal!”
Duanmu Xinmiao said disapprovingly: "Deng Wanwan doesn't want to kill their brothers and sisters, so how dare she tell the truth? Besides, if she is really so brainless, I have plenty of prescriptions to induce hysteria in her. I'm sure no one will take her words seriously. ”
Seeing that she had no emotion when mentioning Deng Wanwan, Wei Changying also gave up the idea of maintaining at least a superficial harmony between the two parties and said: "Now Deng Wanwan told me that she and you have a fierce fight this time. After a while, I also hurt you with the hairpin, and you and Mr. Deng will have no contact with each other from now on... What do you think? "
Duanmu Xinmiao raised his eyebrows and said, "Is it possible to not have any contact with each other?"
Wei Changying frowned, and sure enough Duanmu Xinmiao continued, "My eldest sister and nephew have nothing to do, and I am too lazy to pay attention to them. But there is something going on between my eldest sister and nephew, and even if it was not Concubine Deng's fault, I will take it out on them. No! Don't look at me and Deng Wanwan, both of whom are hurt. Now I just want to teach the concubine a lesson and let her know that I am not easy to mess with! I have not used many poisonous methods - otherwise you see Deng Wanwan. That mark on Wan Wan’s cheek? It’s not even scratched. I really want to kill her. It’s enough to kill a whole room of people on her side!”
"They also say that if Mr. Deng does anything wrong, they will settle the account with you!" Wei Changying said lightly, "Now you two have the same attitude. I don't think there is anything to say to smooth things over. Now it seems that except for There is no other choice but to separate."
Duanmu Xinmiao said indifferently: "Sister Wei, you can do whatever you want."
The two of them were silent for a moment, and Wei Changying sighed: "This time, it is actually my Shen family's affairs that have troubled you! After some time, my husband's injury is almost healed, I will find a reason to send you back. Imperial Capital. Then I won’t have anything to do with you.”
Duanmu Xinmiao bit her lip and said, "I'm afraid that the Holy One will definitely ask me to stay when the time comes."
"It's a long way from the imperial capital to Xiliang, who has the patience to wait for this edict?" Wei Chief Ying said, "Besides, the fact that you came here was just a suggestion from the imperial concubine, not an official order to send you here. Do you still want to go back? Do you need the Holy Order’s permission? I’m afraid your people will soon arrive in the imperial capital when the Holy One receives the news!”
"That's good." Duanmu Xinmiao also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "When I return to the imperial capital, I will guard my eldest sister and my nephew! They won't leave if anyone calls them!"
Guard Chief Ying thought to himself, if there is really a holy order, how can you keep it? But she wouldn't say such a disappointing thing, and reminded: "It's just that you have to try to get Gu Rouzhang to agree to go with you."
Duanmu Xinmiao frowned and said, "Us? You're not talking about me and Deng Wanwan, are you? Aren't you afraid of something happening on the road?"
"So Gu Rouzhang must also go back together!" Wei Zhang Ying said, "With her in the team, I think it will be no problem to use her force to keep you two in check. Of course, don't go so far as to use medicine on her!"
Duanmu Xinmiao hummed: "But Gu Rouzhang is like a bird out of its cage these days. Tian'er can't be found. Last time I bumped into her on the corridor, she took out a handful of pine nuts from her sleeve and told me. I beat it with my own hands on Beishan Mountain outside the city. I think she doesn't mind the bitter cold here at all, she actually enjoys it. Gu Yiran and Gu Xinian are not here now - the reason she came here is to visit her brother, and now both brothers are still here. I haven't seen her yet! Is she willing to go back? No matter where the Gu family is stationed, it will take some time to go back and forth, right? Sister Wei, you are planning to injure Brother Wei. Do you want me to leave with Deng Wanwan?"
Wei Changying said unexpectedly: "You have been staying in the yard these days without leaving home. So you have inquired about many things?"
"The nobles of the imperial capital have spoken, even if they take it out on the Deng brothers and sisters. But I still have to show off, so as not to be too shameless over there, right?" Duanmu Xinmiao said this again, looking at the tea cup in his hand. He said, "I bet Gu Rouzhang will not go back easily! You failed to drive her back to the imperial capital before. Now that you drive her away, it is not that easy!"
"So it's up to you." Wei Changying narrowed his eyes and whispered, "When the time comes, I will seize Gu Rouzhang's thousand-mile horse, and then you get a piece of Mongolian sweat medicine, knock her out and send her to the carriage! Wait until we leave the west Liangcheng is far away and she won't be able to come back if she wakes up."
Duanmu Xinmiao looked at her strangely: "Aren't you afraid that Deng Wanwan and I will meet before she wakes up?"
"Anyway, the New Year is approaching." Wei Changying said calmly, "Before we arrived, the clan's New Year's rites for this year had already started. But some of them were designated by the Imperial Capital, but they were not packed up before. Only recently. After everything was packed, I asked, and they were told that the Imperial Capital was not in a hurry, and they promised that they would not leave until after the New Year. However, it was difficult to travel in Xiliang due to the heavy snow, and the carriages and horses were slow. I will ask you or Deng Wanwan to follow the team first, and then send Gu Rouzhang and another person to catch up with them in a light car to meet up. "
Duanmu Xinmiao said in confusion: "Since we have to send something to the Imperial Capital and we have a ready-made team, why don't we ask us to go separately? Do we have to involve Gu Rouzhang?"
Wei Changying snorted: "You also know that this careless eldest lady of the Gu family has already gone to Beishan to hunt pine nuts? Do you think now is the time to hunt pine nuts? That day, she relied on the strength of her mount and legs to fight The entourage shook her off and secretly went up to Beishan to play. She had nothing to do and even beat some pine nuts in the heavy snow on the mountain! She actually had a good time - the bodyguard I arranged for her looked for her at the bottom of the mountain and almost committed suicide! No matter how much trouble you and Wanwan have, she is the one who makes me uneasy in the house! I really can't do anything now, otherwise I have to call one of Gu Yiran or Gu Xinian. Come back, either send her away or take her away!"
"Sister Wei, if you are annoying Gu Rouzhang so much, why don't you force her to be sent to Gu Xinian's place?" Hearing what Wei Changying said, Duanmu Xinmiao couldn't help but smile. He forgot about his own situation and future arrangements and gave her advice with a smile.
The guard chief Ying said: "You think I didn't send a message to Gu Xinian? As a result, the master sent people around him to tell me a high-sounding story about why the station was bitterly cold and not suitable for women to go there, and why the military affairs were so busy that he couldn't get away. Please take care of me... In the end, I got impatient, and the man told the truth with a grimace, saying that his young master couldn't restrain Gu Rouzhang. No, he was relieved while Gu Rouzhang was not looking for him. He asked me to worry about him in Xiliang City!"
Hearing this, Duanmu Xinmiao laughed so much that he fell down and said, "Oh, why is this Gu Rouzhang so funny? He has tormented the concubine brother like this."
"You think it's fun, wait until you three get close to each other on the way back to the capital." Wei Chang Ying said, "Master Deng's vacation is coming soon, he probably won't take Wanwan to the station until I send you back to the capital. "I think your husband's injury is getting better very quickly. You should be able to go back after the first month."
Duanmu Xinmiao said dissatisfied: "Sister Wei, how could you be such a master? I didn't even say I was leaving, but you were trying so hard to drive me away, and you were still trying to settle your life with me, lest I arrive. Time will never go away!”
"Have you seen Wanwan's fierce and aggressive character?" Wei Changying gently pulled her sleeve, revealing the bruises on her arm, and said, "I'm busy with things now and can't always take care of you. What do you mean? How shocking is the injury to this tender-skinned person? And you are here, caring about Queen Cai and her son - I would like to keep you here for a long time. You are blind on the battlefield, and you, master and disciple, are here, no matter who you are. You have to be determined. But are you willing?"
Duanmu Xinmiao snorted: "Deng Wanwan was seriously injured!"
Guard Chief Ying Xuxu nodded at her and asked: "Is the arm injury serious? Will it leave a scar?"
"What does the scar have to do with it?" Duanmu Xinmiao said nonchalantly, "It's vertical on my arm, I can't see it myself."
Seeing what Wei Changying wanted to say, Duanmu Xinmiao added, "I have no plans to get married. Besides, if I get married in the future, will he dare to dislike the scar on my arm? Doesn't he want to live anymore!"
Wei Changying saw that she really wasn't affected by the arm injury. He was too lazy to be wordy in the middle of the night. He stood up and said, "I'll send you back to the courtyard later... I carefully blew the cold wind on the way. Be careful when you go down to the courtyard." "Don't slip your feet."
Duanmu Xinmiao hummed and said, "Sister Wei, please pay attention to your steps on the way back."
Wei Changying did not leave immediately, but extended his hand to her.
Duanmu Xinmiao looked confused and said, "What?"
"Where is the antidote for the ten nights of blood?" Wei Chief Ying reminded him, not being fooled, "Didn't you say before that your clothes were soaked in the medicine and others would be poisoned if they touched it? Wanwan has already pinched you. She is completely bruised, and you ask her to arrest her for ten more nights - believe it or not, she will only be arrested for one night. With Mr. Deng's love for his sister, no matter how good-tempered he is, he will rush into the backyard with a sword and fight you! ” (To be continued)
