Two days later, when You Yuji was reading her cousin's letter in the flower hall, Zhuo Wen finally got news. Lin Yingying, Cuiyu and Chunxing had just left, and You Yuji was the only one in the flower hall.
"I finally met the person in charge of the poison building. The girl was very arrogant and refused to sell no matter what the price was. She said that the owner of the poison building had instructed that any servants who came to buy medicine should be driven away."
Bao He frowned: "Does this mean that Madam has to go to the Poison House to buy medicine herself?"
"That won't do." Madam Jing shook her head in disapproval. "The Poison Tower is such a dangerous place. How can Madam put herself in danger?"
You Yuji asked, "Have you seen the owner of the Poison Tower?"
Zhuo Wen shook his head and continued, "I didn't see him. The girl I saw said that the owner of the Poison Tower would go to the Poison Tower in five days. If you want to buy medicine, you can only get it from the owner on that day. And after that, the owner of the Poison Tower will leave Chenjing."
You Yuji lowered her eyes, gently stroked the soft hair on Baisui's back with her palm, and fell into deep thought.
It seems that if she wants the fake death drug, she must go to the Poison Tower in person in five days.
The people around You Yuji didn't know why she wanted the fake death drug. Madam Jing advised, "It's just a weird drug. Madam, why do you have to take the risk? How can you go to a place like the Poison Tower in person?"
Zhenxu also advised: "Madam, you'd better not go."
What Madam Jing said made sense. The fake death drug was not necessary. She could have thought of other ways to let Si Que and the concubines go. But was there really a more clever way than the fake death drug? She wanted to take more than one person away, so other methods would probably be too conspicuous.
Besides, it is already early November, and the Empress Dowager will definitely return to Beijing before the new year. That will be the day she leaves the Jinnan Palace. Time is really tight.
Moreover, the beginning of next month will be the 80th birthday of the Eastern Empress Dowager. The Western Empress Dowager will most likely return to Beijing in advance. If the Western Empress Dowager returns to Beijing in advance to celebrate the Eastern Empress Dowager's birthday, then the time left for her will be even more urgent.
After weighing the pros and cons, You Yuji made up her mind: "I will go there in person in five days."
Madam Jing still wanted to persuade him, but she swallowed all the words that were trying to stop him. She knew that if You Yuji had made up her mind, it would be useless for others to dissuade her.
Forget it, since she couldn't persuade You Yuji, Madam Jing could only think about how to strengthen the protection on the day You Yuji went to the Poison Tower to ensure her safety.
In the afternoon, Zhenxu added charcoal to You Yuji's bedroom, lit some incense, and left politely. As soon as she left You Yuji's bedroom, she immediately lifted her skirt and ran back to her room. Baohe was already waiting for her.
"How is it? Are you still sleeping together?" Baohe asked anxiously.
Zhenxu nodded repeatedly. She walked to Baohe and sat next to her. She said, "I suddenly remembered... Our Madam wanted the fake death drug so badly. Would she want to take Princess Que with her when she leaves the palace? She could bite the bullet and leave, but Princess Que is a slave from a surrendered country, so she can't leave!"
Baohe thought about it for a while and felt that it made sense.
"I know!" Bao He's eyes lit up. "Last time I wondered why Princess Que accidentally fell from the building. She must have jumped down by herself!"
"How is that possible?" Zhenxu didn't believe it and thought Baohe was talking nonsense.
"Think about it, has it been since Princess Que broke her leg that our wife has been inseparable from her day and night?"
"That's because on the day Princess Que fell from the building, Madam's residence was closer..." Zhenxu's voice became lower as she spoke, and she herself began to doubt it. Yes, Madam's residence was indeed closer, but it had been a few days, and Princess Que had no intention of moving back to the East Wing!
"Could it be that Princess Ri Que confessed her love to our Madam, and Madam cruelly rejected the princess due to the worldly prejudice against love between women, and the princess was heartbroken and jumped off..." Bao He was more and more convinced as he spoke, "It must be like this! Madam was moved by the princess's sincerity, and finally cast aside all worldly views and chose to be with the princess!"
Baohe clenched her little fist.
Zhenxu sat there in a daze, staring at Baohe's determined gaze, and couldn't help but follow Baohe's thoughts. She thought for a moment and said, "So, Princess Que moved to Tanxiang Yingyue to renovate Yunxiao Pavilion, and it is very likely that she also wanted to see Madam Riri."
Bao He tightly grasped Zhenxu's hand and said excitedly, "Oh my God. The princess is not in good health and can't come to see the lady every day, so she just moved here and lived in the east wing instead of the spacious Yunxiao Pavilion!"
Bao He was moved by the story she imagined. With red eyes, she said, "Zhenxu, I now feel that all men in the world are bastards. Only women know the hardships of women, and only women know the goodness of women!"
Her eyes became brighter and brighter, and she vowed: "I will stand by your side till death! Bless you, Madam!"
Zhenxu slowly came back to her senses after the initial shock. She looked at Baohe's excitement and whispered, "You really have read too many novels..."
Baohe is young, still a child.
But Zhenxu thought more. Love in this world is the easiest thing to make people cry, not to mention this unacceptable mirror polishing? Besides, the identities of the lady and the princess are also awkward...
She frowned, looking worried.
Not only the maidservants around You Yuji noticed that You Yuji and Si Que were getting too close. The concubines who came to pay their respects and sit with them every day also seemed to have noticed it. Even the servants in the mansion were gossiping about it in secret.
You Yuji knew something, but she didn't care much. She sat lazily on the beauty couch under the window, flipping through the menu, and was more concerned about how to prepare a nourishing meal for Si Que.
The room was very warm. She didn't even wear socks. She casually placed her legs, one higher than the other, on the beauty couch. Her bare snow-white feet peeked out from under her cloud-like skirt.
Si Que pushed his wheelchair in from outside and looked at You Yuzhi.
The warm afternoon light leaked through the window lattices and fell on You Yuji's body. Her slightly raised toes were also kissed by the warm sun.
Si Que suddenly snorted coldly.
—Even Nuan Yang can kiss her casually.
You Yuji raised her eyes and looked over tenderly, saying softly, "What's the matter?"
Si Que walked to the beauty's bed and leaned his knees on the edge of the bed. He held You Yuji's ankle with one hand and brushed her toes with the other hand to drive away the warm sun.
You Yuji didn't understand what he meant and looked at him in confusion.
Si Que loosened his hand, put You Yuzhi's snow-white feet down, and pulled her skirt to hide her snow-white feet.
He raised his black eyelashes slightly and gave You Yuji a pure smile.
He said, "Mine."
Yuanyuan is mine.
You Yuji seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand. She thought for a moment, smiled at Si Que, tucked the hair behind her ears, nodded gently, and said to him in a gentle voice: "Okay."
Early in the morning, before daybreak, You Yuji set out to return to the You family—today was the anniversary of his father's death.
In the blink of an eye, it has been a year since my father passed away.
You Yuji had been in a bad mood since yesterday. When she returned to You's house today and saw the plain white house, she burst into tears.
"Madam is awake." said Madam Liu.
You Yuzhi was surprised and quickly walked into her mother's room.
You Jiamu was sitting on the bed, holding a clay xun in his hand, playing the tune of his hometown for his mother. When he saw You Yuji, he quickly stood up and called her sister.
You Yuji nodded randomly, without even looking at You Jiamu, and went straight to her mother.
There were tears in her eyes, but smiles filled her tears.
"Mother." She spoke softly, as if she was afraid of disturbing her mother.
Her mother nodded to her and even raised her hand slightly. You Yuji hurriedly took her mother's hand and squeezed it tightly.
"Yuanyuan, don't cry."
You Yuji hadn't heard her mother's gentle voice for a long time. Her mother's gentle words made her burst into tears. Her mother was not from the grasslands of Siguo, but from the water town of Suguo, always as gentle as water.
It had been too long since You Yuji had waited for her mother to call her by her nickname again.
You Yuji turned her face to the side, trying to hold back her tears, and looked at her mother with a smile again. She leaned over, put her face in her mother's palm, and whispered softly: "Mother will definitely get better..."
The mother smiled and nodded at her.
You Yuji knew that her mother must have remembered that today was the anniversary of her father's death, so she managed to wake up. But her body was really exhausted, and she couldn't even get out of bed. You Yuji had no choice but to ask Jiamu to bring her father's tablet, and her mother stroked it with trembling fingers for a long time.
Before You Yuji left for the cemetery, her mother fell asleep again. When she came back from the cemetery, she stayed by her mother's bed for a long time, but she never woke up and gently called her nickname.
It was only when it got dark that You Yuji reluctantly returned to the palace.
On the way back to the palace, she lowered her eyes and stopped crying, but her expression was still sad, which made Madam Jing and Zhenxu beside her cry too.
The carriage stopped at the Jinnan Palace. You Yuji got off the carriage and looked at the plaque of the palace. She once again hoped to leave here as soon as possible. This was not her home. She wanted to be with her mother and brother every day.
You Yuji walked towards Tanxiang Yingyue with a depressed look, while Madam Jing and Zhenxu followed behind her in silence.
Not long after they left, You Yuzhi met Chen Anzhi.
Chen Anzhi looked unhappy and asked, "Where did you go so late?"
You Yuji didn't want to talk and continued walking forward.
Chen Anzhi was about to get angry, but when he saw You Yuzhi wearing white clothes today, he couldn't help but suppress his anger.
You Yuji had already walked past Chen Anzhi. She heard Chen Anzhi whisper behind her: "Since you know to dress more simply to please others, you should also know that you shouldn't come home so late..."
You Yuji suddenly found it a little funny. He actually thought that she wore white clothes to please him like those concubines? You Yuji stopped and said coldly: "Today is the anniversary of my father's death."
Chen Anzhi was stunned for a long while. He looked at You Yuji's back and asked, "Why didn't you tell me so that I could accompany you back..."
You Yuji had already walked away without saying anything.
You Yuji returned to Tanxiang Yingyue exhausted and went back to the clean room to take a hot bath to relieve her fatigue. When she came out of the clean room, she saw Si Que sitting at the table, blowing gently on the bowl of porridge in front of him.
You Yuji forced herself to cheer up, smiled, and asked softly, "Why haven't you eaten yet so late?"
Si Que looked over and said, "Sister must not have eaten anything. Eat some porridge before you rest."
You Yuji had no appetite at first, but looking at Si Que's clear eyes, she still walked over and ate a little.
The pillow beside him suddenly remembered Chen Anzhi's behavior just now, and once again sighed in his heart that women are better. Women are considerate and can guess that the lady didn't eat at night!
The next day, when several concubines came to pay their respects to You Yuji, You Yuji looked at their clothes thoughtfully. Even Hongzhan had started to wear white clothes.
The room was filled with white clothes, which made You Yuji hold her forehead in her hand.
To cure a disease, one must find the root cause, and Sique is that root cause.
In the afternoon, You Yuji took a red dress of her own and sat under the window to have it altered. Si Que was taller than her, so her dress naturally didn't fit him and had to be altered.
Si Que lay lazily on the bed, his hand occasionally holding the hundred-year-old fur.
"Que Lang."
A gentle call came from under the window, which attracted Si Que to turn his head and look over. Under the window, You Yuji looked at him with resentment, her eyes red, and whispered sadly: "Why don't you ever kiss me?"
His heart beat faster.
Si Que woke up from his nap and immediately turned his head to look out the window. You Yuji was leaning against the beauty couch, tailoring clothes. She looked over, her eyes were gentle as water, and she said softly, "Are you awake?"
Si Que blinked slowly, said "hmm", and looked away dejectedly.
Oh, it turned out that I just had a dream.
What a shattered dream.
