Guard Chief Ying Duanmu Xinmiao returned to the palace in one step, put a handkerchief on his eyes, and continued to cry. Pei Meiniang looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so she quietly asked her: "What are you talking about with Sister Duanmu?" Did you get anything good?"
"… No."
Pei Meiniang sighed: "Well, it's not that easy to use with us, right? We are the only ones here in the Shen family now. If we reduce the number of people, it won't look good."
Wei Changying whispered: "Who says it's not the case? So I simply didn't look for her."
Now that Pei Meiniang has given up the idea of being lazy, she is too lazy to talk about this issue anymore. Instead, she worries about her son at home: "Liu'er doesn't know what he is doing now?"
Sifang’s eldest son is named Shuliu. The reason is that the willow tree is easy to live in, regardless of the country. It doesn’t even need to be transplanted. In spring and summer, break a branch and plant it by the water. It will take root and sprout in a few days. Sifang is really loved by the child. My body is so frightened that I don't expect Shen Shuliu to be extremely talented or what kind of achievements he can make in the future. Let's grow up peacefully first...
Wei Changying's lips curved slightly after hearing her words. Shen Shuliu is only four months old now. Besides eating, sleeping, and occasionally crying, what else can she do
But as a mother, she always misses her children when they are not around. Wei Changying also wondered if Guang'er and Xie'er were being naughty at the moment. Shen Shuxie was still young, so it was not the time for him to be naughty, but Shen Shuguang was very naughty. Ever since his younger brother could walk, the boy had often led his younger brother to go shopping together.
Both sisters thought of the child, and as soon as their thoughts were distracted, the crying subsided.
Because many of the imperial edicts had been sent home in consideration of the Holy Will, there were only a few people in the hall at the moment, and one or two people could tell by their low cries. Wei Lingyue, who was kneeling at the front, immediately turned around and glanced at them coldly.
Wei Lingyue was still in her prime at this time, but she didn't know whether it was because she had been unsatisfied since leaving the cabinet, or because her grandfather Wei Qi, Marquis of Jingcheng, passed away not long ago and passed away during the funeral. Her grandmother and several uncles and The sad news came that all the cousins were buried in the fire. At this moment, there were already a few wrinkles on the young face, which was a bit shocking to look at.
Seeing her like this, Wei Changying and Pei Meiniang both stopped in awe, picked up the handkerchief again and burst into tears...
After the day's mourning, Wei Changying asked Pei Meiniang to go ahead, but he waited for Duanmu Xinmiao in front of the palace gate. After she came out, he stepped forward and said: "Sister, please come with me in the car. I have something to do." please help me."
Duanmu Xinmiao was with her sister-in-law, the third daughter of the Shen family, Shen Lianmei. Shen Lianmei asked what happened when she heard this.
Wei Changying casually found an excuse and said, "Aren't my mother and my sixth brother and sister not feeling well these past two days?"
Shen Lianmei suddenly said: "Do you want Xinmiao to go to Taifu's Mansion to show to the eldest aunt and the sixth brother and sister?" Although she didn't say anything, she looked a little worried when she looked at Duanmu Xinmiao who looked tired.
After all, Duanmu Xinmiao is very tired now. She went to the Taifu Mansion today and will continue to cry tomorrow morning, which is really damaging to her vitality. As for Mrs. Su's and Huo Qingling's illnesses, why should doctors treat them with rest as the mainstay and nourishment as a supplement
However, Duanmu Xinmiao could tell that Wei Changying seemed to have other intentions. He glanced at her, pursed his lips and said, "It doesn't matter. My sister-in-law will tell my mother for me when she gets home."
Shen Nianmei saw that she had agreed. After all, Mrs. Su was still her aunt, and she treated her well. Even though she felt sorry for her sister-in-law, she couldn't stop her, so she had to give her some instructions before boarding the car alone.
Duanmu Xinmiao got on Wei Changying's carriage, and unobtrusively took out the preserved fruits and snacks from the hidden compartment of the carriage. He also signaled the maid to pour her ginseng tea, ate it in one go, and then wiped the corners of his mouth with emotion: "Fortunately, my eldest sister fainted yesterday, otherwise how would I have gone through today? Kneeling there is already terrible enough, and I have to cry all day long... Well, fortunately I won't go tomorrow, third sister-in-law Ah, just ask for your blessings! But you have always been in good health, so it will be okay to kneel down for seven days."
"I was just thinking that you came over to show your face the first day, but you didn't complain of illness the next day?" Wei Changying wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief and whispered, "So you have something to do? He glanced at her arms, "But... that? I really didn't expect that."
Duanmu Xinmiao turned her face to one side and asked her to continue wiping the sweat on her cheeks. She said lazily, "I guess I didn't expect it, but didn't you see it yourself?"
Wei Changying said: "Did you find me too?"
"Well, take this back and ask Aunt Huang to fry it for you. Aunt Huang knows how to fry it and eat it." Duanmu Xinmiao narrowed his eyes and said, "Only Ciling is the most convenient to get the things back these two days. , but there were so many people watching me when I was crying, how could I not be on guard against people I shouldn’t have seen?”
"..." Wei Changying was speechless when he thought of the obvious traces along the way, and said, "I thought you left in a hurry."
Duanmu Xinmiao sneered and said: "For such a big matter, no matter how hasty you are, you still have to have backup plans!"
"That's true. If I knew you were going to retrieve this, I would have been more careful along the way." Wei Changying sighed and said, "It's just that Concubine Deng returned the thing to you. Why Zhong Xiaoyi again?”
Duanmu Xinmiao smiled slightly and said: "The queen has fallen. If the imperial concubine can't even do anything to Xiaoyi, wouldn't she be the ultimate waste?" He added, "In this way, even if everyone wants to pursue Zhong Xiaoyi, they will always go to Zhonghua. I can't find anything to do with the imperial concubine in the cold palace, but she's still waiting to be the empress dowager!"
She looked at Wei Changying with curiosity, "Sister-in-law, you are waiting here for me, is it just for these few words?"
"Of course not." Wei Changying glanced at the people in the carriage thoughtfully. Because crying requires physical strength, Wei Changying brought Qin Ge and Yan Ge with him when he entered the palace these two times. At this moment Qin Ge gently lifted the curtain and looked around the carriage, then nodded towards Wei Changying.
Wei Changying then asked in a low voice: "Isn't it worn by Zhong Xiaoyi? Why did the emperor say it instead? And the imperial physician and others who checked it later?"
"Zhong Xiaoyi took the antidote first." Duanmu Xinmiao explained, "The imperial doctor just picked it up and looked at it for a while. Besides, they didn't know what was poisonous on Zhong Xiaoyi's body at the beginning. They must have taken it through something. Are you talking about the Holy Spirit? ... I guess Zhong Xiaoyi used some method to keep him in contact with her? After all, she was a beloved concubine. Besides, the palace attendants in front of the emperor also checked her surroundings before allowing her to enter. The old guy knows that he has committed too many sins, so he must be careful in everything, otherwise I don’t think he would survive now!”
Wei Changying pondered: "Will something happen to those imperial doctors?"
"Logically speaking, no." Duanmu Xinmiao said nonchalantly, "Even if something happens, I have got everything back and Zhong Xiaoyi is dead. Who dares to rely on me?"
"I heard you just told the palace man about Mr. Deng?"
Duanmu Xinmiao raised his lips and smiled, and said: "This is the result of not knowing medical knowledge - I told the imperial concubine that I gave Deng Zongqi a terrible poison. How can I watch myself rot day by day? How can I not even want to die?" , What harm to the heirs... Anyway, the noble concubine was afraid of hearing what I said. In the end, she really believed it!"
Wei Changying was speechless for a while...
Hearing Duanmu Xinmiao's smile turn into self-deprecation, he said, "Actually, the imperial concubine may not be entirely trustworthy, but she has no reliable support now. She thinks she can't afford to offend me, so why not just pretend to be confused and step down?"
"Anyway, now the new king has ascended the throne." Wei Changying was silent for a while, then gently patted the back of her hand and said.
Duanmu Xinmiao smiled at her: "So what? The late emperor died, and I am now a widower. Huo Chenyuan died so violently. Third sister-in-law, do you think you can ask me to remarry based on my family's status?" "
Wei Changying couldn't answer this - in fact, before Huo Chenyuan died, he left an autograph letter to break off the engagement. The Huo family had no intention of letting Duanmu Xinmiao stay for the rest of his life, so as soon as he found the letter, he sent someone to the Grand Master. The government went to cancel the engagement. But with a family like Jinxiu Duanmu and a future son-in-law who would die for righteousness, how could he agree
Therefore, Duanmu Xinmiao is almost destined to stay like this for the rest of his life.
Moreover, she is different from Shen Zangzhu. Shen Zangzhu has always been married and has been getting along well with her husband. Even if she has no children, she still has memories in her heart. Although Duanmu Xinmiao didn't hate Huo Chenyuan at first, she didn't like her very much either. Now that she has never been married, she has to stay a widow for him for the rest of her life. With her temperament, it's good that she doesn't go crazy.
No wonder she would act so decisively this time.
Duanmu Xinmiao sneered again: "Actually, my eldest sister fainted yesterday, not because of fatigue, but because of Huo Chenyuan. She felt sorry for me, so she went to the palace to express her condolences and saw Huo Chenyuan again when she saw the mourning hall. I couldn’t bear it and fainted on the way back.”
The Queen Mother Cai herself suffered deeply from the pain of losing her husband. Not only did she have a loving and harmonious relationship with the late King Cai, they also had a son. In this situation, she was feeling extremely depressed. If she thought that her younger sister, Wei Changying, would be in this fate instead of her own younger sister, she would have fainted from worry about her. What's more? Is it the Queen Mother Cai who has deep feelings about widowhood
Next, the two of them thought about their own things and said nothing.
When they arrived at Taifu's Mansion, Wei Changying led Duanmu Xinmiao to Mrs. Su and Huo Qingling for diagnosis and treatment. Mrs. Su complained a lot, saying that she shouldn't have to work on Duanmu Xinmiao at this point.
But Duanmu Xinmiao said: "I won't be able to tell you that I'm sick tomorrow."
Mrs. Su hurriedly gave her these straightforward words: "You are a young lady with no power to restrain a chicken. It is really difficult to endure such a cry in the sky."
... After leaving Duanmu Xinmiao to Duanmu Yanyu to entertain him, Wei Changying thanked Duanmu Yanyu for taking care of his two sons for the day, and then took them back to Jintong Courtyard.
After returning home, he briefly asked them how everything was going in the second room today. Wei Changying asked the wet nurse to coax the two of them away and called Mrs. Huang to discuss: "Auntie said, should I give Xin Miao some more jade?"
Huang said in surprise: "Why did the young lady suddenly think of this? In recent years, we have given a lot of jade to Miss Duanmuba."
"Because she managed to send the pair of finished jade bracelets into the palace to poison the Holy One." Wei Changying said solemnly, "So many imperial doctors checked the things on Zhong Xiaoyi, but if I hadn't seen the palace people with my own eyes today, Return these bracelets to her. Tell me, have we heard anything about these bracelets?"
This is simply a must-have weapon for killing people and silencing them! It’s the kind that can be used over and over again without any fuss! (To be continued)
