Yu Qingluo breathed a sigh of relief and lay on the stone bed for a long time. After all this tossing, he was indeed exhausted, and his stomach was still very uncomfortable.
The woman beside her brought her a water bag and fed her a little drink.
The cold water flowed down her throat, instantly making her mouth feel refreshed.
Yu Qingluo pursed her lips, then turned her head and began to look at the mother-in-law in front of her carefully.
The woman still lowered her head and did nothing special. She just silently did what she was doing. She did not take the initiative to communicate with Yu Qingluo.
After a while, Yu Qingluo narrowed her eyes and whispered, "What does this paper mean?"
She took out the rice paper from her arms and handed it to the front. The woman paused slightly. He didn't make any move, he seemed to hesitate again and again. After a long while, he finally slowly raised his head and faced Yu Qingluo.
After so long, Yu Qingluo finally saw the true face of Lushan. She looked at the unfamiliar, yet somewhat twisted face in front of her in astonishment.
Perhaps, it cannot be called a distortion, it can only be said to be extremely incongruous.
This man's face was sallow, his lips were plump, his eyes were small, the tip of his nose was slightly flat, and there were several ugly black pimples on his face, as well as... a scar.
Strictly speaking, this face brings all the shortcomings together, and it even looks a little scary.
The mother-in-law smiled at her, and Yu Qingluo was startled, only to realize that when she smiled, her teeth were bright white.
But...she couldn't speak.
The mother-in-law stared at her for a while, her eyes softening slightly. Yu Qingluo felt it, and she seemed to be very friendly to him, which made her smile involuntarily.
After a long time, the mother-in-law raised her hand and gave her a slight gesture.
Yu Qingluo frowned, not quite understanding her gesture. She had not studied sign language and had no idea what she meant.
She shook her head at the woman apologetically, and Yu Qingluo lowered her voice and said slowly, "I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean. In this way, I will ask you questions, and you nod or shake your head, okay? ?”
The mother-in-law paused, put down her hand somewhat dejectedly, and nodded.
"You... know Grandma Ge? You are very familiar with her. Did Grandma Ge give this to you?"
The mother-in-law nodded, holding the rice paper to her chest, her expression became softer.
Yu Qingluo's eyes brightened, "Has Grandma Ge mentioned me to you?"
The mother-in-law nodded again, stretched out her thumb, and gestured to her.
Yu Qingluo automatically understood that this was because Grandma Ge often praised her in front of this mother-in-law, so the mother-in-law said that she was great to herself.
Her heart was excited, and she tried her best to suppress the smile on her lips, and lowered her voice, "Aunt Ge is also a Mongolian, right?"
The mother-in-law nodded, then frowned and shook her head.
Yu Qingluo was confused by her actions, and her whole eyebrows knitted together, "What does this mean? Grandma Ge is not in the Mongolian tribe?"
The mother-in-law started gesturing a little eagerly, but the more eager she was, the less Yu Qingluo understood. Coupled with my stomach discomfort, dense sweat began to form on my forehead again.
Seeing her like this, the mother-in-law finally put her hand down.
Her eyes began to move throughout the secret room, and suddenly they settled on the iron chain that locked Yu Qingluo's feet.
She took a few steps forward, picked up the iron chain, and then put her hands behind her as if to tie her hands with the iron chain.
Yu Qingluo watched for a while, her heartbeat skipped a beat, "What do you mean? You mean, Grandma Ge was arrested?"
The mother-in-law nodded vigorously and took her hand out.
Yu Qingluo took a deep breath, "She, she was caught by who? How is she doing now? She..."
The woman suddenly stiffened and took two steps back. Yu Qingluo's voice also stopped suddenly, and she heard a voice coming from the stone gate.
The stone door opened again, and Meng Po walked in carrying a bag of medicine. Looking at Yu Qingluo, who was still lying on the edge of the bed and thinking silently, the corner of her mouth couldn't help but twitch.
"Take this medicine and fry it." He handed the medicine bag to the waiting woman. The woman took it with a low eyebrow, turned around and went out.
Yu Qingluo was very angry. She didn't come early or late, why was she so annoying
Meng Po received her contemptuous gaze, his face darkened, and he felt that the air in the secret room was still not good, so he left again.
Yu Qingluo looked at the candlelight silently, thinking about what the old woman had done just now, and felt very anxious. Grandma Ge was arrested. Why was she arrested? What was the reason
She thought of the handkerchief found in Concubine Meng's palace, and of the inexplicable appearance of Grandma Ge among the Mongolian people, and now she was arrested again...
Yu Qingluo remembered that Concubine Wan had said that Grandma Ge was from the Mongolian ethnic group. So did she return to the Mongolian tribe on her own, or was she forced to come back here? There are many secrets in Grandma Ge. Yu Qingluo knows that she didn't ask before, but now she regrets it.
She sighed and took a long time to look away.
The medicine was quickly brewed, the stone door was pushed open, and the woman and Meng Po walked in again, and she placed the tray on the table.
Yu Qingluo now really sees that Meng Po's nose is not a nose, and his eyes are not eyes. Why is this person so hateful? As soon as she saw him, a nauseating feeling came over her again, and she hurriedly closed her eyes to suppress it.
When she looked up again, the woman had already brought the medicine bowl to her.
With Meng Po here, Yu Qingluo couldn't ask anything. He could only hold half of his body slightly and drank all the medicine with his eyes closed.
It had been many years since she had drunk such a strong and bitter medicine, and now she was really uncomfortable with it. She almost wanted to find some candied fruit for her to eat.
Yu Qingluo swallowed the last mouthful and lay back heavily, turning sideways and moaning.
The mother-in-law put the bowl back on the tray and was about to take it out.
Meng Po suddenly stopped and took the tray over, "You stay here to take care of her, be careful, don't..." He originally wanted to say not to let Yu Qingluo play any tricks, but look at her pale face. He looked like he was vomiting till the sky was dark, shook his head, closed his mouth, and left the secret room silently.
Yu Qingluo laughed, this woman really stayed, and she finally had a chance to talk alone.
She turned over and faced the woman again, looking very weak. But thinking that there had been such a big breakthrough in the matter about Grandma Ge, she still gritted her teeth, endured the discomfort, sat up, and asked intermittently, "Just now, just now you said that Grandma Ge was arrested, you know, is it?" Was he captured by someone?"
The mother-in-law looked at her deeply, with a certain sadness in her eyes.
