Xu Yu said in a hoarse voice: "My lord, the servants are wronged."
Master Tang couldn't help frowning. He didn't expect Xu Yu to be so stubborn and refused to change his words until now.
He turned his head to look at Man Bao, but Man Bao didn't look at him, but glanced at Xu Yu, then poured a glass of water from the small table next to her and put it in her mouth, "Drink some water."
Xu Yu glanced at Zhou Man, raised his head slightly, and took a sip of water.
Man Bao saw that they were struggling to talk like this, so he straightened up the pillow and helped Xu Yu sit up, but she was not very good at serving people, and her hands were still a bit heavy.
Master Tang has been watching Xu Yu carefully, and saw that although she frowned, she didn't say anything.
So she is still afraid of pain, but a person who is afraid of pain still doesn't say anything after being tortured and dying.
Master Tang stared at Xiao Yu's face thoughtfully.
Man Bao helped her sit up halfway, and it was much more convenient to fill her with water. She drank two glasses of water in a row before continuing with the work at hand.
Master Tang asked. "Xu Yu, are you worried about your relatives at home?"
Xu Yu lowered his eyes and said nothing, Master Tang promised: "As long as you are willing to confess, I will keep your family safe. I remember you have parents, brothers and sisters at home?"
Xu Yu said expressionlessly: "My lord, the servant is really wronged, the doctor Zhou did not replace the needles with the servant, the doctor Zhou is here, if you don't believe me ask her, we have always been friends, how could I harm the doctor Zhou? "
Man Bao was already bandaging her fingers. Hearing this, he raised his head and looked at her quietly. Xu Yu also raised his eyelids and looked at her quietly.
The two of them didn't speak for a while.
Master Tang stared at Xu Yu without saying a word. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
Master Tang stared at Xu Yu for a while, Xu Yu looked at Master Tang calmly for a while, then seemed to remember her identity, shrank again, lowered her eyes pretending to be timid to avoid Master Tang's gaze .
Master Tang got up and said, "You take the medicine first, we will talk after you finish taking the medicine."
He had to think about what was wrong with Xu Yu just now.
He turned around and was about to go out when a small servant looked in from the outside, he frowned and asked, "Where are you from?"
Man Bao and Xu Yu turned their heads and looked up. The timid little servant who was hiding behind the door came in and said restrainedly: "The servant is from the Chongwen Museum. Mr. Bai asked me to deliver breakfast to Doctor Zhou."
Master Tang, who turned his back to Xu Yu, and Man Bao, who turned his head to look at the waiter, didn't notice that Xu Yu's face changed drastically when he saw the waiter, and his already pale face became even more bloodless.
The little servant didn't recognize Xu Yu, he just glanced at Xu Yu curiously and said to Zhou Man who was sitting beside the bed: "Doctor Zhou, where should I put this food box?"
Master Tang stepped forward to look at him carefully, and asked him to put the food box on the table and open it. He took a look at the food inside, and it was indeed the breakfast prepared by the kitchen in the palace today.
Man Bao was a little curious, "Why are you here to deliver, Ren Xiang, Ma Fuming and Gao Gu?"
Ren Xiang is the little maid newly transferred to her side to take care of her, Gao Gu is the servant in charge of taking care of Bai Shan and Bai Erlang, under normal circumstances, either Gao Gu or Ma Fuming runs errands for Bai Shan.
The waiter bowed and replied: "Eunuch Wu sent them all to question. We were temporarily selected from the Ye Ting Palace, and we only run errands for a few days."
Master Tang remembered that last night, he deduced that the needle was soaked outside and sent in, so Eunuch Wu had already decided to screen the people in the East Palace again.
Not only the Chongwenguan side, but also the side where the prince and the others lived had to be screened, and even Mr. Yin came over in person.
He nodded, closed the food box, and asked casually, "What's your name?"
"The slave's name is Xu An."
Master Tang nodded, waved his hand and said, "Okay, the food box is here, you can go."
"Yes." Xu An bowed and stepped back.
Master Tang went out with him, watched him walk away, and then stood in a daze in the yard, carefully thinking about what was wrong with Xu Yu just now.
When Man Bao turned his head, Xu Yu had already leaned on the pillow, and there was nothing wrong except his face turned pale.
Man Bao continued to bandage her fingers, got up and said, "I'll call Mr. Tang in, and I'm leaving now."
"Master Zhou," Xu Yu said suddenly, "I'm a little hungry, can I have something to eat?"
When Man Bao heard it, she subconsciously suspected that her food might have been poisoned, and Keke scanned her and said, "I didn't find anything wrong except that there was too much salt."
Man Bao: ...
She stepped forward to pick up the suit, took it to the bed, and dragged a stool directly to put it on, "Let's eat, let's go."
There are many types of breakfast food in the food box, but the quantity is not large, small buns, clear porridge, two dishes of side dishes and a few pieces of meat pie.
Man Bao wanted to give her the bowl of porridge, but she picked up the chopsticks first and said: "The thing I don't like to eat is porridge."
Man Bao gave her a strange look, nodded and took the porridge, and couldn't help asking Ke Ke: "Is it really not poisonous?"
Koko: "...no."
Man Bao lowered his head to eat porridge.
Xu Yu wanted to pick up steamed buns, but her fingers were injured, so of course she couldn't pick them up. She looked up and saw that Man Bao was looking at her curiously, so she smiled at her, then put down her chopsticks, reached for a steamed stuffed bun and took a bite .
Man Bao breathed a sigh of relief and found nothing unusual.
Xu Yu ate a steamed stuffed bun slowly, while Man Bao had already finished a bowl of porridge and meatloaf, so he deliberately gave the small steamed stuffed bun to her.
Seeing that she had finished her last bite, she was about to pack up her things and leave, but Xu Yu suddenly reached out to press the food box, looked up at Man Bao, "Doctor Zhou, can I ask you one thing?"
Man Bao was taken aback, and asked, "What do you beg me for?"
"Please help me take care of someone." She looked over the window at the head of the bed to see Mr. Tang outside, and said quickly, "Promise me, I will let you make a great contribution."
Man Bao shook his head and said, "I only save people, and don't investigate the case. I'll call Mr. Tang in for you."
"No," Xu Yu reached out to grab her hand, and said firmly, "I can't trust him, I only trust you."
Man Bao didn't understand why she changed suddenly, "That's why, Brother Tang Xue is a very nice person."
Xu Yu shook his head, "No, there are not many good people in and out of the palace. Those high officials who say they are good for the country and the people are also pious people. I can't trust them, I only trust you."
She said: "You accept me, and I will tell you how the poisonous needle came into the palace. I still have a list in my hand, and I will give it to you."
Man Bao asked: "Do you want me to save your life? Xu Yu, I'm not lying to you, I'm not sure, but I think Brother Tang can."
Xu Yu shook her head, "I want to keep another person."
"who?"
Xu Yu was silent for a while and then said: "The person who came in just now, Doctor Zhou, you can save him, get him out of the palace, or find a way to send him to Huangzhuang. I don't ask for anything else, just ask for help." could save his life."
She looked at Man Bao with tears in her eyes and said, "I heard what you said yesterday. I don't ask much. I just want him to be a human being. It doesn't matter if he is a slave, as long as he is a human being."
