Chapter 13

An Changqing fell asleep until dawn. When the winter sun came in through the window screen and fell on his face, he woke up immediately. He sat up and asked, "is an Changqi dead?"

It happened that Xiao Zhige came in from the outside after practicing his gun. Hearing the words, he stepped slightly and smoked strangely: "he died in the middle of the night yesterday."

An Changqing reaction, slowly turned to look at him, discontented to mutter: "why didn't you call me last night?"

"You're asleep. It's not important." Xiao Zhige said.

An Changqing is used to his simple words and understands it by himself. Xiao Zhige thinks that an Changqi's death is expected. He didn't wake him up until he knew it earlier or later.

After thinking about it, an Changqing got up and changed her clothes. After washing under the service of an Fu, she asked, "should someone be sent there to deliver the letter?"

As soon as he finished, Wang Fugui came in with the messenger.

With white linen on his waist, he bowed his hand and repeated what an Changqing knew.

An Changqi died at the beginning of Zishi last night. When the boy came to deliver the letter, his body had been buried. He was in the West courtyard for seven days. He asked the eminent monk to clean up his resentment and then he could be buried. Because it's premature death, and it's violent death. For fear of bumping into the old prince, the funeral should be simple. Only close relatives were invited to observe and mourn.

An Changqing only said that he would go to the funeral, so he sent him back.

***

with seven days to go before the funeral, an Changqing calculated, but his mother's illness could not be delayed, so he arranged everything and took Hu Shifei and tie Hu home two days later.

This time home is different from the last time. I don't know if it's because of the chanting and mourning music from the West courtyard, which makes the whole residence a cloud. In the past, all the servant girls and little fellows frowned and gathered their eyes. They were either wrapped with sackcloth around their waists or wore white flowers on their heads. Even his mother, Li Shi, changed into plain clothes and looked haggard.

On the way to lanhongyuan, you just pass the Chuihua arch of the West courtyard. When an Changqing looked inside, he saw a group of dignified monks sitting cross legged in the courtyard, waving their prayer flags and chanting words. Aunt sun's hair was scattered, her face was haggard, and she knelt down on the ground. When she raised her head, her eyes were just opposite him.

When he came back to the door three times, he tore his face with the second room, and now he didn't want to do surface Kung Fu any more. At this moment, he just stopped and nodded to her.

But unexpectedly, sun suddenly opened his eyes, suddenly got up from the ground and rushed to an Changqing madly: "bitch! Give my son his life

An Changqing's face did not change. Standing in the same place, just two steps away from him, he rushed to him in a frenzy. Unexpectedly, sun's family was strangled by the Iron Tiger. Sun was restrained and tried to struggle, but Tiehu was not a person who cherished beauty and jade. He was so fierce that he kicked sun at the bend of his leg and said: "when you see the princess, you have to salute first!"

Sun was forced to kneel on the ground, but she was unwilling. Her eyes were bloodshot and she glared at an Changqing fiercely: "wait! You will be punished

An Changqing looked down at her and sneered: "I didn't kill people. What can I get for it?"

"If it wasn't for you! How can my son die? " See him deny, sun's eyes canthus want to crack, if not Iron Tiger press her, she will certainly rush to revenge for her son.

"I thought I had made it very clear last time. If I hadn't pleaded with Wang Ye, Chang'an Qi would not have survived these two days." An Changqing eyebrows slightly PICK: "if I really want to kill him, why take the risk of being blamed by the Lord to plead for him?"

Sun's heavy breathing, staring at him speechless.

An Changqing touched the Pisces jade pendant on his waist and continued: "there are many people who have broken their hands and feet, but they are still alive. An Changqing is dead. You should go to the doctor for theory. Besides Maybe someone else didn't want him alive? After all, it's not good for me that Ann Changqi is dead. "

Sun suddenly raised his head: "what do you mean?"

On the side, Li glanced at him, frowned slightly, and said, "the doctor said that Changqi had lost too much blood and died of severe injuries."

"What the doctor said may not be true." An Changqing looked at her with a smile: "the doctor also said that Aunt Yu's illness must be supported. After doing this for so many years, the decoction hasn't stopped, and I haven't seen aunt Yu get better. On the contrary, it's more serious... "

"So sometimes What the doctor said may not be true An Changqing's eyes turned to sun: "second aunt said Is that right? "

Sun's red and swollen eyes burst out a bright light. His eyes swept back and forth between them for a moment. He staggered to his feet and walked back. As he walked, he cried madly: "come on! Call me jadeite

Li's heart jumped, but calm face: "the princess's speculation is too ridiculous."

An Changqing pointed to the meaning of a reply: "absurd is not absurd, let doctor Hu to see it."

Li's fingers trembled slightly and his eyes swept over the servant girl. After that, he quickly adjusted his expression and went to lanhong garden with an Changqing.

Lanhong garden is as quiet as ever. The only difference is that the snow and weeds in front of the door have been cleaned up. When you enter the yard, you can feel the warmth coming from the house.People in the room heard the movement and quickly opened the door. When an Xianyu saw an Changqing, she first cheerfully called her brother, and then saw Li's on her side. She immediately restrained her expression and called "mother."

An Changqing gently touched her head and went in with her: "is aunt Yu OK? What about Zhao Shi? "

An Xianyu replied: "my aunt is still the same. Zhao Shi is frying medicine for my aunt."

When she said that, an Xianyu was a little embarrassed. It was her job. Lanhong garden has no servants except the old nurse. Nanny is old again. In fact, an Xianyu is doing a lot of things. It was not until an Changqing left Zhao Shi that life became easier. Not only did the people who came to make sarcastic remarks at three or five o'clock disappear, but also the monthly orders that were always deducted were sent on time.

The room was heated by charcoal fire, and aunt Yu's cough was relieved. She didn't have to work and had more time to read.

An Changqing looked at the joy between the girl's eyebrows and eyes, followed by a smile: "where is aunt?"

As she asked, a woman in a heavy cotton padded robe turned out behind the screen. When the woman saw an Changqing, she subconsciously called "here, here". Halfway through the call, she saw Li next to her and quickly changed her tongue: "here, here, there, there, there, there, there, there, there The third young master is here

"Aunt, I've invited Dr. Hu from the palace to see you." An Changqing came forward to help her sit down, mother and son looked at each other, everything in silence.

Hu Shih Fei listened and called himself, then cleared his throat and came forward to see him. Yu's body returned a gift, just stretched out wrist, let him feel pulse.

Hu closed his eyes and felt the pulse, while an Changqing and Li sat down on the side, waiting for the result.

According to the plan discussed in advance, Hu feigned a pulse diagnosis, then opened his eyes and said: "aunt Yu is poisoned. Show me the dregs of the decoction you usually drink. "

An Changqing's face suddenly dignified: "poisoning? Why did Dr. Hu say that? "

Li was also surprised, blurted out: "impossible!"

She behaved so abruptly that several pairs of eyes in the room looked at her.

"My mother is not a doctor. How can I know it's impossible?" An Changqing droops Mou, cold voice way: "still listen to the doctor how to say of good."

Li also knew that her retort was too abrupt. She pinched the handkerchief. She soon calmed down and whispered in a warm voice, "I mean, how could someone poison the prime minister's house?"

"If there is any poison, I'll know after a test." An Changqing waved and asked tie Hu to bring the dregs.

It happened that Zhao Shi had just decocted the medicine. Then he brought in the boiled medicine and dregs together. There was a strong smell of medicine in the room. Hu took a silver needle and tried it in the soup. The silver needle was black in a moment.

Hu Shifei presented the silver needle: "princess, you see, it's really poisonous."

An Changqing's face was calm, and her eyes turned to Li's: "how dare someone put poison in the mansion? This matter needs to be reported to her father and the old prince as soon as possible to find out the real murderer."

Li's eyes flashed, but he said with awe inspiring righteousness: "this matter must be investigated clearly!"

Then they went to the main courtyard to find an Zhike and Lao Taijun. An Changqing fell behind and helped aunt Yu, peeping at Li's stiff back. With a voice enough to make people hear, he said, "aunt Yu's decoction is the hand of Yu Er. Now the decoction is poisonous. It's mostly the doctor and the medicine. Tie Hu, follow Anfu to catch the doctor and the manager of the medicine shop."

Li's back was a little indiscernible, and he soon went on without any trace.

In the main courtyard, an Zhike and Lao Taijun were invited to come. Old Tai Jun had just lost a grandson. Just when he was in a bad mood, he was startled to see a group of people holding his forehead and said, "what's the matter?"

Li was about to reply, but an Changqing took the lead.

"Today, Japan is inviting doctor Hu from the palace to treat aunt Yu. Unexpectedly, doctor Hu said that Aunt Yu was not ill, but poisoned." With a wave of his hand, Zhao Shi presented a bowl of soup and black silver needles.

He then said: "the decoction is fried by yu'er himself every day, and there is no one else in lanhong garden. I guess there is something wrong with the doctor or the medicine, and someone has been sent to the de Ren hall to get people."

Old Tai Jun's momentum a weak, frown way: "is wrong?"? Who will poison aunt Yu? "

With cold eyes, an Changqing looked at an Zhike and said slowly, "I just want to know who I will poison aunt Yu. "

An Zhike frowned, but never said a word.

After a while, the doctor and the manager of derrentang who treated aunt Yu were brought up. An Changqing glanced at Li. As expected, there was one more servant girl beside Li.

He looked at the doctor and the shopkeeper without expression, and asked harshly like Xiao Zhige: "aunt Yu's daily decoction is poisonous, but it has something to do with you?"

The shopkeeper stares blankly, and then cries out. Seeing this, the doctor quickly kowtowed. When he raised his head in panic, he immediately lowered his head and used the remaining light to glance at Li.Li sat upright and did not squint, turning a string of Bodhi beads on his wrist with his right hand.
