Chapter 12: The Ink of the Shadow Guard
Since Xiahou Shenxiao entered the Wen Mansion, he has only seen Wen Yukou a handful of times, and several times Wen Yukou has sneaked away from the side when he saw him, and he couldn't arrest her openly. Only after dinner in the evening and waiting on the way back for Wen Yukou can I take a few looks. Once discovered by Wen Chengying, Wen Chengying, who was anxious for his sister, immediately called his name and stopped him to chat, and when Xiahou Shenxiao got rid of Wen Chengying, he found that Wen Yukou had long been hidden.
"Your Royal Highness, don't waste your efforts, my sister won't be deceived by you, you can't imagine her cleverness, instead of working her, it's better to find another beauty." Wen Chengying's tone also had a hint of mockery.
"How do you know I'm lying to your sister? What's more, I do have important matters to discuss, Miss Wen can hide from me for a while, it is difficult to hide for a lifetime, although she is smart, but she may not know that escape is the next strategy. Xiahou Shenxiao was also unceremonious, and the two parted unhappily.
It's night.
"Miss, don't read the book, be careful and drink the tonic first." Hua Yue brought the medicine bowl, mixed with the bitter fragrance of ginseng.
Wen Yukou put down the book, rubbed her shoulders, and then waited for Hua Yue to hide the medicine, then took it and drank it. Recently, she drank this medicine, and the cold accumulated in her body was gradually pulled out, and her body was indeed much better, much easier than before. Li Xian is really a bit of an interesting person, although he doesn't like to talk coldly, but he is extremely clever at prescribing the right medicine, and he will personally thank him another day.
Hua Yue brought candied fruit and fragrant tea again, so that Wen Yukou rushed the bitter taste, Wen Yukou took a pill, looked at the empty medicine bowl, and suddenly said: "Hua Yue, didn't Imperial Doctor Li say that this medicine is extremely difficult to get, even if you have money, you can't buy it?" Why do I see you coming every day, without interval, where did you get these precious things? ”
"This ......" Hua Yue lowered her head, her face turned white, and she said two words. Wen Yukou originally just asked casually, but seeing Hua Yue like this, she keenly caught the unusual aura: "Say!" ”
Hua Yue, who was persecuted by Wen Yukou, couldn't hold on for long at all, and quickly relented: "It was sent by His Royal Highness." These medicines were all brought to Imperial Physician Li, and all of them were good medicinal materials, and then the slaves and maids dared to rest assured that they would boil the medicine for you...... The Third Highness said, you are suspicious, if you know that the Tao was given by him, you will not drink it anyway, so unless you ask, the slave and maid can't say ......"
Wen Yukou touched the empty medicine bowl, and her mouth suddenly began to be sweet, sweet, but she didn't eat candied fruit......
The next day, Xiahou Shenxiao got a message from Wen Yukou: "After the province is finished, I will get together with His Royal Highness. ”
It was a piece of paper that was torn off casually, and there was still a little lingering fragrance, cold, quiet, if there was nothing. Xiahou looked at it for a long time, got closer, silently closed his eyes and sniffed, and his handsome side face suddenly became calm. When I opened my eyes again, I was pitch black, deep, cold and almost indifferent.
He opened the lid of the incense burner and threw the piece of paper into it, and the spark of the stars soon burst into flames, turning the white paper and black letters into ashes: "Wen Yukou ......" He silently recited her name, and his hand was cold, and the cool night flew by.
The provincial relatives are getting closer and closer, and the Wen Mansion is so busy that people are turning their backs, but despite this, there is still not enough time, and there are a lot of things going on in the house, which seems to be hasty everywhere and is not properly managed. The old lady considered it again and again, and intended to let the four granddaughters take small positions to reduce some of the burden. Asked Xie Shi, Xie Shi smiled and said: "The eldest lady has a different opinion on flowers and tea, and she can take the position of Fengyu; The sound of the second lady is like a fairy sound in the sky, and she can play the role of caressing the qin; The third lady is soft and quiet by nature and is not easy to show up, but she is very familiar with etiquette and can help His Royal Highness to perform the ceremony; The fourth lady is beautiful and lively, and her dancing posture is wonderful, why don't you work with the second lady to dance and music together to help Yaxing? ”
Seeing that Xie Shi's analysis was good, the old lady stretched her brows, raised the Buddha bead and recited a word of Buddha, and said, "That's it." ”
Dou was drinking the medicine, and after listening to the report of the subordinate arranged by the old lady's side, he didn't speak, and then drank the black and bitter medicine in one gulp, and his slender eyebrows were not wrinkled, Wen Yulan saw that his mother drank so violently, and hurriedly took a sweet dried apricot, stepped forward and handed it to her mother to let her eat slowly. Dou pushed it away, Wen Yulan waved his hand to let everyone go down, leaned into Dou's ear and said, "Mother, the old lady trusts Xie so much, don't you really do something?" ”
"It's to be done, but not now. The old thing has relieved me of my job, and the Xie family has taken it away, hmph, who doesn't know that she has coveted my position for a long time? Now that she has the power, she starts to show off, when I don't know how many taels she has, it's not Wen Yukou's little slut's idea for her! embarrassed, a nest of snakes and rats, I have long hated them in my heart! …… Xie and Wen Yukou united, they thought they were doing a hidden thing, but I didn't know that I had already seen through it. It's a dream that they all think they've picked up a bargain and can join forces against me! Just wait for the day when your aunt will save her relatives, and that will be the time when they wake up from their dreams! ”
"Mother, you're right, those dog minions in the house saw us falling, usually flattering, and now they look like they love to answer and ignore them, which really makes people want to stab their dog eyes blindly! If my father hadn't returned home, I would have asked the Ouchi guards sent by my aunt to cut them down! ”
Dou Guifei quietly sent them a big inner guard a year ago, it is said that he secretly protects the saint, martial arts, killing people like light and electricity, but no one has ever seen his appearance, also known as "shadow guard", because he made a mistake, he almost lost his life, was rescued by Dou Guifei and sent to Wen Mansion, specifically to protect Wen Yulan's personal safety. And he is indeed a divine dragon, but he has never seen him for such a long time, Wen Yulan has never seen him, only knows that his name is: Mo.
Mo is a person, he is there when he needs it, and he is there when he doesn't need it.
He is a shadow, everywhere, following behind him, but never to be found.
Wen Yulan has been very well protected before, as long as she doesn't leave the Wen Mansion, no one can hurt her. But since Wen Yukou woke up, she has been frustrated again and again, and the number of times Mo appears has increased. Wen Yulan didn't know anything about Mo, but Mo knew everything about her.
The Dou family knew the existence of Daomo, because what she had always instilled in her daughter was the idea that "cheap slaves should not be approached", so even if Mo protected Wen Yulan so much, Wen Yulan still looked down on him from the bottom of his heart, and it was impossible to deliberately let him show up and talk or something. So for the time being, we still don't care about each and don't interfere.
"Yulan, you have suffered in the Buddha Hall, and the pain after I fell ill, I will return it to them ten times in less than three days! By the way, what about your father? ”
"Tomorrow the concubine and aunt are coming, someone from the palace is coming, and my father and housekeeper are going to greet and discuss many matters tomorrow." Wen Yulan replied.
Dou Shi thought for a while, wrote a note and stuffed it into his daughter's hand: "You also go, quietly give this note to the palace people, and let them bring it to the concubine." ”
"Mother, what is this?" Wen Yulan looked at the note in his hand suspiciously and asked. "Don't ask, you'll know tomorrow." There was an inexplicable smile in Dou's eyes, and he urged his daughter to leave quickly.
