In the middle of the hour, Huo Weilou came out of Cheng Yunzhi's study. He stood still under the eaves, his phoenix eyes slightly raised, and looked at the starless sky. Ink is generally dull and dull.
After a while, Huo Weilou looked away and asked, "Has Youyou rested?"
Aunt Liang stood beside her, "Yes, I just went to see you, Miss is already asleep."
Huo Weilou pondered for a moment, then walked towards Bo Ruoyou's courtyard, entered the courtyard door, and saw that the lights in her boudoir were dim, he walked up the steps slowly, and pondered for a moment in front of her door.
Aunt Liang stood in the distance, not knowing what to do, after a while, Huo Weilou turned around and left again, this time he went straight out of Cheng Zhai's gate.
On the carriage back, Huo Weilou didn't say a word, and the attendants who followed also noticed that he was in a bad mood, and they were neat and proper along the way, not daring to offend him. Once back to the Hou's mansion, Eunuch Fu greeted him, "Your Majesty is so quick! Are you back? How is Youyou?"
Huo Weilou didn't speak, and went straight to the study, the smile on Fu Gonggong's face faded, and he went to see the attendants following him.
"Hou Ye has been cold-faced since he left Cheng's mansion, and I don't know what happened to the villain."
Eunuch Fu waved his hand to make them retreat, and quickly followed to the study room. Huo Weilou took off his cloak and sat behind the desk without speaking. Take a breath of cool air.
"Lord Hou, what happened?"
Huo Weilou's stern expression, since he took the position of Marquis Wu Zhao, he hasn't seen Eunuch Fu for many years, he doesn't know what happened to Bo Ruoyou, but if Bo Ruoyou's condition is serious, why doesn't he stay with Cheng Mansion
After waiting for a long time, Huo Weilou glanced out of the window, the second watch had passed, and the night was already very dark, but he said: "Go to the Bo family, and invite all the masters of the Bo family—"
Eunuch Fu was startled, "Master Hou, you mean Mrs. Bo's family and Mrs. Er and his wife?"
Huo Weilou nodded, but Eunuch Fu didn't dare to ask any more questions, he immediately turned around and went out to order, the servants of the Hou's mansion acted neatly, and within a short while rode their horses to Anningfang, when they arrived in front of the house, everyone in the Bo family had already rested, and Wu Zhaohou was sure to see him , There was a lot of noise everywhere in the mansion.
The eldest lady Hu's hands were shaking nervously while changing her clothes and dressing up, and she said to herself with the maid beside her, "What's the meaning of this? It's so late, is it possible that Marquis Wu Zhao is going to attack us?"
How dare the maidservant talk to her, when she is ready to come out, the second master Bo Jingli and Wei Shi are also fully dressed and dare not be disrespectful.
Mrs. Hu has been at odds with Mrs. Wei for many days, but now she has no choice but to go up to her and ask her: "Sister and sister, what does Marquis Wu Zhao mean by this? He has a marriage contract with that girl, and we are his half elders. What does he have to do?" Urgent matter, want to see us so late?"
Wei's heart was also quite nervous, but he didn't panic on his face. He sneered and said, "Do you dare to be Wu Zhaohou's elder? I dare not. Seeing us so late must be something important. You will know when you go. .”
Hu Shi was feeling anxious when Bo Yixian walked out from the inner courtyard, "Mother, Marquis Wu Zhaohou wants to see you so late?"
Hu nodded, and Bo Yixian said casually, "It must be related to Bo Ruoyou."
Naturally, Hu also thought this way, and Bao Yixian looked at Wei, "Didn't Second Aunt often go to Changshoufang? Don't you know?"
Wei Shi smiled, "I only know that Youyou was ill a few days ago, I don't know anything else."
Hu Shi and Bao Yixian looked at each other, they were both dazed, Wei Shi raised his jaw, "Be quick, don't keep Marquis Wu Zhao waiting for a long time."
No matter how scared Mrs. Hu was, she had no choice but to go out with her. The group set off from Anning Square, and arrived outside Wuzhaohou's mansion in less than half an hour. After getting off the carriage and entering the gate of the mansion, the three of them all looked terrified.
For the sake of the marriage, a large-scale construction was carried out in Wu Zhaohou's mansion, and it was the first time for the three of the Bo family to enter the mansion. Seeing such a battle, I knew that Wu Zhaohou attached great importance to this matter, but Bo Ruoyou was estranged from the Bo family. Wu Zhaohou had never sent anyone to Bo before. Shiguo, what can I do this time
Huo Weilou was waiting for the three of them in the main hall. He was dressed in black Chinese clothes, and his face was stern and menacing. When the three of Bo's family came in to salute, he didn't even raise his hands. I only dare to sit on the edge of a chair, with my back straight.
"I called you here so late because I wanted to ask about the old news about County Lord Anning."
Huo Weilou called Anning County Lord, although it is a respectful title, but he has a higher status, and for a while people couldn't figure out what he meant, so Bo Jingli hurriedly said: "We will definitely know what the Lord Hou wants to ask."
The attendants served tea to everyone, and Huo Weilou was playing with the white porcelain teacup in his hand, his tone was neither urgent nor slow, not as coercive as he was, "When the Lord of Anning County was five years old, there was a sudden change in his family. Do you know?"
Of course they knew about this, and in order to finalize the case, the government went to Bo's mansion to inquire about the details of the old case a few days ago. Zhou was murdered by someone back then, which is almost the same as what we guessed back then, because the child Lanzhou was sick and obedient since he was a child, and even if he got lost, he would not be able to run so far, let alone run away Go to the river to play, hey, after so many years, the third brother and younger siblings can rest in peace in the spirit of heaven."
Bo Jingli is the second master of the Bo family, and he can be regarded as the current head of the Bo family. When he answered, the Wei family and the Hu family did not dare to talk, but they still didn't know what happened. The Wei family was secretly distinguishing, and the Hu family's thoughts But turn faster.
Huo Weilou's eyes fell on Bo Jingli, hearing Cheng Yunzhi's description of Bo Ruoyou's childhood was completely different from Bo's family's description, and only they knew what Bo Ruoyou experienced before leaving Beijing.
Huo Weilou continued to ask: "After the incident happened that year, the Lord of Anning County was ill for a while."
As soon as this remark came out, the expressions of the three members of Bo's family were different, Bo Jingli obviously hesitated, Wei's was also surprised and slightly sad, but Hu's eyes lit up.
"Back then... Youyou was overly frightened, and she was indeed ill for a while..." Bo Jingli said cautiously.
Huo Weilou's eyes fell on the teacup in his hand, "Be more careful, and speak up if there is anything wrong, and don't hide it."
Huo Weilou's words only gave people a feeling that he was investigating the mystery of the year. Hu had been figuring it out, but at this moment, as if he had guessed something, he couldn't help asking: "The woman is bold, dare to ask the Marquis?" Why ask these old things?"
Huo Weilou raised his eyes and met Shang Hu's smoldering eyes, he said in a nonchalant manner: "Ms. Anning County has some abnormalities recently, which may be related to the illness back then. I need to ask clearly."
Mrs. Hu immediately lifted her spirits, as if she had been waiting for this time for many days, "It turns out that the Marquis is a nobleman, and Youyou was given the marriage by His Majesty. Before the marriage was bestowed, he probably didn't inquire about it. The Marquis should have asked Now that Master Hou asked, the woman would not dare to hide—"
Huo Weilou looked at her, Mrs. Hu swallowed, and spoke quickly, "Speaking of which, the child Youyou got sick because she got lost with Lan Zhou. Lan Zhou was murdered, but she came back alone. I don't know what happened that night, but as an older sister, she probably came back because she left Lan Zhou cruelly..."
Hu sighed, "Of course she is also a child, no wonder, it's just a little disappointing, if she can bring Lan Zhou back that night, maybe Lan Zhou has grown up now, and her parents will not have any accidents .”
"Sister-in-law"
Bo Jingli couldn't help reminding him, but Hu ignored him, "Second brother, don't try to hide it, Youyou will be Mrs. Wu Zhaohou's wife. Back then, these things were covered up from the outside world, but the Marquis had to know—"
"After that incident, Youyou became extremely ill. To what extent was it? She was completely insane. Not only that, she was also covered with dirty things, which made our family restless."
Bo Jingli and Wei were afraid that they would offend Huo Weilou by saying this, but Huo Weilou followed Hu's words and asked, "How crazy?"
When Mrs. Hu heard this, she felt that her guess was right. She already thought that Bo Ruoyou was not worthy to be Mrs. Wu Zhaohou. Earlier, she didn't dare to bring the old things to Wu Zhaohou. Now Wu Zhaohou asked herself, how could she replace Bo Ruoyou? If you hide it? Not only did he not hide it, but he also told Wu Zhaohou what happened back then. When Wu Zhaohou knew that the woman he was going to marry had been so crazy and stupid when she was young, and she was hit by evil things that could easily be touched by evil spirits, I'm afraid I will regret it and make His Majesty take back the marriage offer!
"She was really sick when she came back. She had a fever, as if she was suffering from a cold. Later, she was invited to the best doctor, and the cold was cured quickly. At this time, her madness was exposed. She first recognized it. She doesn't want her parents and parents, as if she doesn't even know who she is, she talks nonsense all day long, and she is afraid that the servants in the house will be wrong, so she hides in the cabinet and corners by herself, and asks others to save her..."
"Sometimes it's easy to put her to sleep, but when she wakes up, she gets sick again. When she gets well, the family invites imperial doctors for her, including her foster father and other imperial doctors in the palace. I couldn’t see it well, there was nothing I could do, and I even invited a Taoist priest, and when the Taoist priest came, he said that she had brought dirty things from outside, and she was possessed by an evil spirit.”
"Not only that, but we also said that she was born with evil spirits in her life, and that she would restrain others. At that time, we didn't take it seriously. Later, the third brother and younger siblings had an accident when they went out to seek medical treatment. Wasn't it because of her that they died? ?”
Holding the lid of the cup, Huo Weilou fiddled with the froth on the tea soup, his expression remained unchanged, but under the pupils that were difficult for others to see, there was ice condensing inch by inch.
"What nonsense was she talking about? Do you remember any other odd things?"
Hu was taken aback for a moment, never expecting Huo Weilou to ask such detailed questions, "This... the woman can't remember for a while." She looked at Bo Jingli and Wei, "Second brother, younger sister, do you remember?"
At this time, Bo Jingli and his wife were also guessing whether Huo Weilou cared about this and wanted to regret the marriage. After a moment of hesitation, Bo Jingli said: "I can't remember anything else, I just remember that Youyou was very afraid of people approaching, especially when she was hiding somewhere , she is also very afraid of the dark, she has to turn on the lamp when she sleeps, and the nonsense she said... seems to have called for help... "
After Bo Jingli finished speaking, he looked at Wei Shi, "Do you remember anything?"
The corners of Wei's lips twitched, "The woman remembers one small thing, that is, when Youyou was ill and unconscious, she didn't like to eat anything else, she only liked to eat dragon beard crisps."
This matter is not strange, Huo Weilou's face remained calm after hearing this, and Hu couldn't help but roll his eyes, "What kind of strange thing is this? That's not what the Marquis wants to ask."
Wei Shi did choose an unimportant matter carefully, but she couldn't stand Hu Shi's ridicule, "Dragon Beard Cake was Lanzhou's favorite food when she was young, and although You You also liked sweets when she was young, she didn't like it. Eating such sweets, my sister-in-law only cares about Yixian after all, and doesn't know about Youyou's habits."
When Hu heard this, she was about to refute, but Huo Weilou seemed very interested in it, "Suddenly like to eat dragon beard cakes and only eat them when she is unconscious? Then if she is awake, will she still remember the bewilderment when she was unconscious before?" ?”
Wei nodded and shook his head hurriedly, "Only when she is not awake, she likes to eat. Every time she can't stop crying, or when she hides somewhere and doesn't want to come out, she can coax her with dragon beard crisps, and she can relax a little bit. Soothe me, but after waking up, using dragon beard cakes will not work. She doesn't remember crying. She was young and very pitiful at that time. Although she can recognize people after waking up, she has gone through such a big Tortured, people also become silent.”
Mrs. Hu interjected at this moment: "There are a lot of times when you are silent, as if you are dumb, and you may be still sick at that time. Lord Hou doesn't know, this kind of disease is the most difficult to recover from. If anyone has this kind of disease Illness will ruin your whole life, Master Hou didn't know about this earlier, but now that he knows, even if he wants to divorce Youyou, we dare not say anything else."
The anticipation on Hu's face couldn't be suppressed, and the coldness in Huo Weilou's eyes finally showed like a sword, "Retire?" He stared at Hu, "It seems that you really hope that Benhou and Anning County Lord will divorce."
Hu was a little dazed at first, but soon, she realized that she might have misunderstood. Thinking of the words just now, her complexion changed, "No...not..."
The sharpness of Huo Weilou's pupils made Mrs. Hu shudder, "Don't say this happened when the Anning County Lord was five years old, even if she becomes so ill now, this Marquis will not divorce her."
"No... the woman is just... just thinking that Youyou's parents are gone. As an elder, the woman is afraid that Lord Hou will care..."
Huo Weilou said in a cold voice: "She left Beijing at the age of five, and your Bo family has never cared for you, and you have never stepped into your Bo family since you returned to Beijing at the beginning of the year. Now she is the county head personally appointed by His Majesty, and you are the family member of the guilty minister. You What qualifications do you have to be her elder?"
The blood on Hu's face faded away immediately, Bo Jingli and Wei's couldn't help holding their breath, both showed nervous expressions, Huo Weilou's eyes swept away from the three of them, "It's better for you to keep your mouth shut about what happened back then. , although she has the same surname as you, this Marquis will not treat you as in-laws, if the governor is sensible, I would not be bothered to investigate your cold treatment of her in the past, but if she is disgusted, this Marquis will argue with you."
The Hu family didn't dare to breathe, while the Wei family gave Bo Jingli a hard hit. Bo Jingli was so frightened that he responded immediately, "Yes, yes, the villain understands, please rest assured, Lord Hou, we will never dare to talk nonsense. Character."
Huo Weilou didn't know what he was thinking about, "If you remember anything from that year, you can come to the Hou's mansion and tell me. Besides, this Marquis doesn't want to hear any rumors about her childhood."
Hu's expression turned pale, and he kept nodding, and Bo Jingli and his wife agreed again and again. Huo Weilou was naturally impatient with them, and seeing that there was nothing to report about the past, he waved him to leave. The three got up and saluted, and left as if they had been pardoned Hou Fu.
Hu staggered when she left the gate of the Hou's mansion. She was so frightened that her legs were weak, and she could hold on inside the mansion, but she couldn't when she went out. Seeing this, the attendants hurriedly supported her, and she said weakly: "Hurry up!" ... hurry back home..."
Wei's heart still had lingering fears, only resentment that Hu was an idiot, and then glared at Hu viciously, "If you affect Xuan'er's future, I will definitely make your mother and son have no peace in this life."
…
Huo Weilou went back to the study, still not feeling sleepy, Eunuch Fu came in from the outside, hesitantly asked: "Master Hou, is Youyou's old illness going to relapse?"
Huo Weilou glanced back at him and nodded.
Eunuch Fu immediately gasped, "This... how could this happen?"
In front of Eunuch Fu, Huo Weilou's throat felt a little bitter, "I should have discovered that when she was kidnapped and in danger, I should have sensed something was wrong."
Eunuch Fu didn't know where to start to persuade him, "Is it impossible to cure it? But Youyou seems to be fine on weekdays. She has been working as a maid in Qingzhou for many years, and I have never heard of her old illness."
This is exactly what Huo Weilou was thinking about. The first time Bo Ruoyou lost consciousness was when she was kidnapped by a murderer who liked to skin women. That night, Bo Ruoyou was on the verge of life and death, and it rained again...
Huo Weilou's pupils shrank, it was raining! On the night when Bo Ruoyou and Bo Lanzhou got lost, she also got wet in the rain, and she and Bo Lanzhou were taken away. Although she escaped, she was also terrified, and lived and died overnight.
But this time she was strange twice, because the truth of Bo Lanzhou's case surfaced, and it happened that she contracted typhoid fever, and she became unconscious every time, all of which were accompanied by fear and crying, and had the habit of avoiding others. In particular, Cheng Zhai hid in the cabinet, which was very similar to when she was a child, but when she was unconscious when she was young, why did she like to eat the food her brother liked
People who suffer from madness and stupidity are mostly caused by a heart disease in their hearts. Bo Ruoyou's heart disease is the death of her younger brother. Even if she has forgotten the past, it really happened, and it must have left traces in her heart. It's just because of the younger brother's old case, but it's too simple, it seems that Bo Ruoyou's madness is not that simple.
At least she liked the food that Bo Lanzhou liked when she got sick, so what should she say...
Huo Weilou has been in the battlefield for many years, although he can deal with trauma, he is not very good at medicine, and this kind of inner demon disease is difficult for ordinary doctors to explain, he only feels that he should understand this point, but the mystery is hidden After the heavy fog, it was difficult for him to see the reality.
Early in the morning of the second day, Huo Weilou first entered the palace to face the saint, and only left the palace after noon. After leaving the palace, he did not go to Cheng Zhai immediately, but went to the Ming Mansion.
In winter, Ming Guilan's legs were not happy, and he was taking care of him in the mansion. He was very surprised to learn that Huo Weilou had come. When Huo Weilou said that he was visiting Ming Zhonghuai, Ming Guilan never thought of it, but soon he understood. "Master Hou wants to see his father, but for Miss Bo?"
Huo Weilou didn't have to hide from him, "Yes."
"Miss Bo suddenly fell ill last time, is it related to her old illness when she was young?"
Huo Weilou's eyes darkened slightly, "Did you guess it?"
Ming Guilan sighed, "I didn't think of it at first, but my father treated Miss Bo when she was young, and he told me about the situation back then, so I was a little worried, but when I went to visit in the mansion, I heard that Miss Bo was fine. No, I didn’t ask in detail.”
After a slight pause, Ming Guilan said: "If Lord Hou wants to ask about Miss Bo's illness, I can answer for him. Miss Bo was frightened when she was in danger, first she suffered from typhoid fever, and then she became insane..."
These three words seemed to hurt Huo Weilou, causing him to frown slightly. Ming Guilan said regretfully: "It is indeed very similar to the illness of Her Highness the Princess, but it is not exactly the same. Miss Bo was completely crazy when she was young. It wasn't long, but she changed her temperament again, and the ups and downs made it even more elusive for the doctors. At that time, there was such a big change in the Bo family, and the third master of the Bo family spared no effort to hire a famous doctor for Miss Bo. , Father has been to Bo's residence several times, but there is nothing he can do, so when he learned that Miss Bo has grown up and returned to Beijing, father was surprised at first, and he did not expect Mr. Cheng to be so powerful."
Huo Weilou said: "Mr. Cheng did use a lot of methods at the beginning, but there is still one achievement, that is, she is far away from the capital, without the influence of the surroundings, and now she is back in Beijing, and she is facing her brother's case directly, so she must have received a lot of stimulation. "
"This is the crux of the problem." Ming Guilan said: "Mr. Cheng must have a way to stabilize Miss Bo's condition. As long as she is not stimulated, Miss Bo will be able to live the same way she lived in the past twelve years. It's just this. It's very difficult, now that the government has settled the case, Miss Bo knows the truth, and she is also in the capital, so it can't always be the same as before."
In the past, Bo Ruoyou couldn't remember the past clearly, and she was thousands of miles away from the capital. As long as Cheng Yunzhi didn't mention it, she wouldn't think too much except for the anniversary of Bo Lanzhou's death, but now it's very different.
Huo Weilou said: "My mother has been ill for many years, I naturally know the symptoms of these diseases, but you are right, they are not the same, when my mother is ill, although she can't remember the past, she regards father's former study as her own place, But she doesn't like her father, but Youyou is different."
Ming Guilan was a little puzzled, and Huo Weilou said, "I asked Bo's family, and they said that when she was a child, the dragon beard candy that she disliked could calm her down, and this dragon beard candy, This is what her younger brother likes to eat."
"Could it be that Miss Bo felt very sorry for her brother's accident? It's just that her child didn't know how to express it, and she was insane, so she changed her preferences?"
Ming Guilan obviously didn't know the point, Huo Weilou shook his head, "Recently, she has lost consciousness twice and cried, but she can't remember what happened after waking up. Maybe the case of Bo Lanzhou will slow down after a period of time. .”
After Ming Guilan heard this, he was a little worried, but he couldn't understand this kind of illness. Huo Weilou said: "Your father came back and told him that I came here for Youyou's illness. If he has a diagnosis and treatment method, he will come to the Marquis's Mansion."
Ming Guilan should naturally be, Huo Weilou will not stay much, he will go out of the mansion to Cheng Zhai.
It was already late when we arrived at Cheng's house, and the wind was cold outside. Huo Weilou saw Cheng Yunzhi and went straight to find Bo Ruoyou. The ground in her room was extremely hot, so he was naturally happy to see him, but Huo Weilou saw her at a glance. Seems to have something on his mind.
After sitting down, Huo Weilou said: "You had already rested when you came last night, did you sleep well last night?"
Bo Ruoyou nodded in response, and poured tea for him again, but the gesture of holding the teacup was a bit weird, when she put down the teacup, Huo Weilou grabbed her hand, "What's wrong with your hand?"
Bo Ruoyou let him look at it, and after seeing it, he saw blood spots on his fingertips, Huo Weilou frowned, "Where did you get it?"
"It doesn't matter." Bo Ruoyou bent her lips, but her thoughts drifted elsewhere, and the indifference on her face couldn't escape Huo Weilou's eyes.
He pulled her to sit beside him, "Are you thinking about something else?"
Bo Ruoyou looked sad, as if he didn't know how to speak, Huo Weilou acted dissatisfied, "Why can't you tell me?"
Bo Ruoyou took a deep breath, and suddenly looked at him solemnly, "Master Hou said that I cried and cried in nightmares before, right?"
Huo Weilou's heart tightened, but he could only nod his face, and Bo Ruoyou said sternly: "Master Hou, I'm afraid it's not a nightmare—"
This remark made Huo Weilou uneasy, but Bo Ruoyou seemed calm. She raised her hand and looked at the high cabinet in the distance. She first talked about the strange situation between Aunt Liang and Cheng Yunzhi yesterday, and then said, "Aunt Liang is not flustered." With a shapeless temperament, she said that I was hiding in the cabinet, and she would never say anything, at first I didn't think about it, because I didn't remember it at all, let alone why I hid in the cabinet?"
"Until the middle of the night, I found a wooden thorn stabbed in my hand. I didn't touch any other wooden objects except getting on and off the carriage, opening and closing the door yesterday. How could there be a wooden thorn in my hand? So after realizing something was wrong last night, I checked the locker."
"This cabinet is well polished, but there is a rough place in the corner of the cabinet, where there are a few burrs, and I have checked the clothes in the cabinet, and it is indeed no neater than what I saw when I opened it yesterday morning, Hou Lord, I probably have a bad memory, and I really can't figure out why I went into the closet, I thought, I... Am I sick. "
She was talking about the process of discovering the abnormality in a serious manner, but at the last sentence, her voice suddenly became difficult, the unknown symptoms happened to her, even if she was as tough as her, she was a little panicked, Huo Weilou was worried for a while, because of this heartache, the expression on his face She didn't hide it very well, and Bo Ruoyou asked sharply: "Master Hou...do you know?"
Huo Weilou hesitated, Bo Ruoyou is so smart, she immediately understood that he heard Cheng Yunzhi mention it when he stayed at the house last night, her voice became even more austere, "I... I guessed it, when I had breakfast this morning, my adoptive father treated me with special care Aunt Liang was also careful with me, even when I was most ill, she had never been so cautious, I thought, what they said yesterday must be true, but they just didn't want to tell me the truth, The adoptive father now trusts Lord Hou, so Lord Hou must also know about it."
She suddenly had a painful heart palpitation, and subconsciously wanted to pull her hand out of Huo Weilou's palm, "What's wrong with me..."
Huo Weilou held her hand tightly, and pulled her into his arms again, "Yes, Mr. Cheng told me last night, it's not a big deal, you've just been thinking too much recently, aren't you all right now?"
He hugged him very tightly, and his tone was full of pity, as if he was afraid of losing her. Bo Ruoyou noticed that he seemed to be more nervous than her, and felt a little relieved for a moment. She hugged him back, never like that. Now I want to tell him so much.
She buried her cheek in his arms, and said in a muffled voice: "Huo Weilou, I'm a little scared. Sometimes when I'm half asleep and half awake, I will suddenly become irritable and flustered. At that time, it seems that there is another person talking to me. say… "
