That night, when the willows were on the moon, Xiao Yi quietly jumped out of the window at the back of the house, and then lightly jumped onto the roof by an old banyan tree outside the window, flying over the eaves and walls, and disappeared in an instant...
After a cup of tea, Xiao Yi quietly jumped back into the house through the window. Thrush looked through the window nervously and looked into the backyard. He was sure that no one had seen him, so he breathed a sigh of relief. After closing the window, I thought to myself: It's really exciting to be with the son of the world! I still have to learn from sister Baihui, calm and unhurried, Mount Tai collapsed in front of me and my color will not change!
Thrush looked at Baihui with admiration.
Nangong Yue waved her hand to let the maids go out to guard, and then looked at Xiao Yi inquiringly.
Xiao Yi nodded, took out a paper bag from his bosom, opened it and handed it to Nangong Yue.
Nangong Yue took out a small silver spoon, pushed aside the medicine dregs and looked at them casually, then picked some medicine dregs, put them under her nose and smelled them, frowning slightly.
Xiao Yi stared at her intently, although he was extremely anxious, he didn't make a sound to disturb her.
"Ah Yi." Finally, Nangong Yue spoke, and said decisively, "There is indeed something wrong with the bowl of medicine that grandfather drank, and there should be heart-corroding grass in this medicine."
Xiao Yi asked tremblingly, "Is it poison?"
"To be precise, it's not poison." Nangong Yue calmly explained, "Although it's a little poisonous, taking it in small doses has no effect on people, and many doctors will add half a dollar to the medicine to treat chronic headaches. However, it must not be taken in large doses. Once a dose of more than five qian is taken at a time, it will make people fall ill and produce symptoms like stroke. At first, they are bedridden and slurred, but if they continue to take it, gradually If it is serious, it will become more and more serious, unable to speak, unable to move legs, and slow thinking. Because the symptoms are somewhat similar to stroke, even the pulse is similar, and ordinary doctors can’t see what’s going on.”
Even Xiao Yi had been mentally prepared for a long time, and his complexion changed drastically, and his heart was full of anger.
My grandfather was poisoned instead of having a stroke, so there is no doubt who poisoned him.
This Fang Chengling and his wife are really brave! How dare they murder their stepfather!
Xiao Yi's fists were tightly clenched together, and a fierce murderous aura was released undisguisedly, like a sharp sword out of its sheath.
More than ten years.
He didn't know anything, and allowed his grandfather to be tortured for more than ten years
He is so disrespectful!
Nangong Yue took his hand, slowly separated his fist, and held it in her palm.
When Mrs. Fang first fell ill, Xiao Yi was only five or six years old. If someone deliberately concealed it, it is impossible for him to know the truth. After that, he was deliberately flattered, killed and raised by the Xiaofang family until he went to the king's capital as a hostage for six years.
Nangong Yue finally understood why Xiao Yi's mother's family never cared about Xiao Yi's previous life.
"Ayi..."
Nangong Yue wrapped her arms around him, and said softly: "Don't be angry with yourself. You still have me, no matter what happens, I will be with you..."
As soon as Nangong Yue finished speaking, he was hugged into his arms suddenly, feeling Xiao Yi resting his head on his shoulder.
Nangong Yue patted him on the back lightly, and heard his muffled voice, with a slight choke, "...Smelly girl, you are so kind."
If not for her company.
If it weren't for her gentle words.
If it weren't for her to understand him and love him.
In this life, without her, he couldn't even imagine what he would be like.
After a long time, Xiao Yi raised his head, his expression was as usual, and the hostility and murderous intent in his eyes also quietly dissipated.
"Stinky girl..." Xiao Yi said with a hint of astringency in his voice, "Grandpa...can you save me?"
Nangong Yue looked into his eyes and said confidently, "Yes."
After trying her best in medicine all her life, she must also save her grandfather, otherwise Xiao Yi will be hard to let go in his life.
"Um."
Xiao Yi rubbed her pink and tender cheeks, and then reluctantly let her go, saying: "... I will not let them go."
"Ayi, what are you going to do?" Nangong Yue pulled him, and said softly, "Master Fang is the heir of the grandfather and the heir of the family's family, but you are just a long-lost Besides, whether it is from the pulse condition of the grandfather or the symptoms, it is very similar to a stroke, how can you convince outsiders that the grandfather was killed by his heir, not you, who has not appeared in more than ten years? His grandson deliberately wanted to frame Master Fang?... What's more, this is Heyu City. In any case, grandfather's treatment is the first, and the rest can be discussed in the future."
Although Heyu City belongs to southern Xinjiang, it has been the domain of the Fang family for many years, and the Fang family is one of the four major families in southern Xinjiang. It has been rooted in southern Xinjiang for three hundred years, and its background is not just twenty The Zhennan Palace for many years can be compared.
They didn't bring many people with them this time, Xiao Yi was not afraid of anything, but he was afraid that if a disturbance broke out, Fang Cheng would order them to die, and it would be bad if they hurt their grandfather.
Xiao Yi was silent, nodded, and said, "I'll listen to you."
The treatment of my grandfather is the most important thing. Before that, what if I make excuses with them
There is plenty of time for revenge!
Moreover, there is one thing that Xiao Yi can't figure out. In the past ten years, if they wanted to kill their grandfather, they would have had a chance, but they didn't do it... Xiao Yi didn't think it was out of kindness, there must be a reason!
"Smelly girl, I really don't remember my grandfather very much..." Xiao Yi hugged her and said softly, "It seems that once, my grandfather asked me to practice martial arts, but I was lazy and pretended to be sick and refused to go. There was a fight. My grandfather happened to come to see me that day. He hugged me, coaxed me for a long time, and promised me a mace, saying that he would use the black iron newly discovered in the mine to help me fight... but the black iron is very difficult. It's rare, and I have to save up to get enough... I was happy for a long time, but I couldn't get that mace in the end."
Xiao Yixu ramblingly recalled, at first his memory was still a little fuzzy, but gradually, he remembered past events one after another...
The old man who has been forgotten is also becoming clearer in his mind.
Nangong Yue stayed with him the whole night.
until the next morning.
After Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi had their breakfast, they went to the main courtyard to see Fang Chengling and his wife. Besides the two of them, there were two teenagers and a girl sitting in the main hall.
Two teenagers, the older one was fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in a blue brocade robe, and his appearance was seven or eight points similar to Fang Chengling, except that he was thin and had a hint of arrogance at the corners of his mouth; while the younger one was about ten years old. One or two years old, with a slightly flinching look on his face.
And that girl is about thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a golden double-breasted stand-up collar and a gold hundred butterfly wearing a flower gown. She also looks like her father, so she can only be regarded as delicate and handsome, but her skin is fair.
Xiao Yi suppressed the anger in his heart and greeted Fang Chengling and his wife. Fang Chengling said with a smile: "Ayi, yesterday your two cousins went to the academy to study, and it was getting late when they came back. I was thinking of you and the princess. I'm tired too, so I won't let them bother you. Anyway, it's not too late to get married today."
Afterwards, Fang Chengling introduced his children respectively. The sixteen-year-old was his eldest son, named Fang Shiyu; the twelve-year-old was his concubine's second son, named Fang Shixuan; His eldest daughter, Fang Yulan.
Several people of the same generation greeted each other, Fang Chengling stroked his beard, and said again: "Ayi, you and the concubine Shizi came to Heyu City for the first time, why don't you let your two cousins take you around Heyu City today, what do you think? how?"
"Thank you uncle and cousin for your kindness." Xiao Yi arched his hands and said with a worried face, "It's just that my grandfather's condition makes me very worried..." Saying that, Xiao Yi looked at Nangong Yue.
Nangong Yue took half a step forward, blessed and said: "Uncle, aunt, in fact, my mother's mother's family is from the Xinglin family. I have also learned some medical skills from my grandfather and uncle of the Lin family since I was a child. Although I dare not say everything is true, but I also learned five or six points, so please forgive me for being bold, I want to heal my grandfather, I wonder if uncle can agree?"
Both Fang Chengling and Mrs. Fang couldn't hide the surprise on their faces. They didn't expect Nangong Yue to make such a request. The couple glanced at each other, and a strange light appeared in their eyes, which disappeared in a flash...
Fang Chengling and his wife hadn't spoken yet, but Fang Yulan said in a sharp voice: "Cousin Yi, cousin sister-in-law, grandfather has been ill for more than ten years, and my father and mother have invited famous doctors in the city for this, but my grandfather has not improved. Over the years, Thanks to my mother's careful care, my grandfather's condition has barely stabilized..."
There was a hint of hostility in Fang Yulan's eyes and tone. She felt that although her father was an heir, her parents had devoted themselves to her grandfather for many years, and the elder cousin in front of her, who had never visited her grandfather in her memory, had just arrived, so she pointed and pointed. It seems to be blaming my parents for not taking good care of my grandfather. What's the point
"Sister Lan," Mrs. Fang felt that her daughter's words were just right, but on the surface she could only speak for Xiao Yi in a slightly reprimanded tone, "Your cousin Yi and sister-in-law are also filial."
Fang Yulan pouted slightly, and snorted coldly. She was obviously still dissatisfied, but she didn't reply.
Mrs. Fang smiled apologetically at Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue, and said: "My son, my concubine, don't blame your cousin Lan, she was spoiled by me and your uncle since she was a child. However, we have really done it for my father all these years. I have invited famous doctors all over the city, and used a lot of expensive medicinal materials, but I haven't seen much effect."
As she said that, she glanced at Nangong Yue hesitantly, and said: "Although it is said that the concubine Shizi's family has a long history, but... the concubine Shizi should not have reached the level of Ji?" It's the old doctor who has been helpless for many years, and Nangong Yue is just a little girl who has not yet reached the level, so what can she do!
Fang Yulan at the side raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, and said in her heart: Yes! This medical skill is not knowledge. With all the medical books, will she know how to see a doctor? Can she prescribe prescriptions
Fang Yulan twitched the corners of her mouth sarcastically, and suddenly said again: "Mother, since my cousin is so filial, why don't you let her try it? lest my cousin think we are deliberately shirking, and there are ghosts in my heart!"
Mrs. Fang's face froze, and Fang Chengling almost wanted to slap her daughter, but after being told by her daughter, if they made excuses again, wouldn't they really have ghosts in their hearts!
Seeing the embarrassing atmosphere, Fang Shiyu smiled slightly and smoothed things over: "Father, mother, and cousin-in-law who are studying medicine and grandfather is sick, no matter whether cousin-in-law can cure grandfather or not, she should try her best. If you don’t have enough knowledge, why don’t you write articles?”
Fang Shiyu's metaphor is very ingenious, he is obviously more talkative than Fang Yulan, and a few words can make Fang Chengling show a thoughtful expression. That's right, this concubine is still so young, and she can't learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting on weekdays. Even if she dabbles in medical skills a little, she can learn some tricks! She probably wants to show her filial piety in front of her son Xiao Yi? If you continue to evade yourself, it will arouse suspicion!
Fang Chengling smiled, nodded and said, "Ah Yi, Princess Concubine, your aunt is thinking about it. Since Princess Concubine is proficient in medicine, she should show it to her father. Even if she can't be cured, she may have some insights, so that father can see it." feel better..."
