Leng Shuang handed the bottle to Qiao Yue and said, "I just went for a walk and remembered something."
"Oh?" Qiaoyue said curiously, "What has Madam thought of?"
Leng Shuang smiled, and then said to Qiao Yue: "It's nothing."
Qiaoyue couldn't ask further questions, so she could only say: "Madam, it will be dark soon. I will help you wash up and rest."
When it was time to go to bed, Leng Shuang lay on the bed, closing her eyes and thinking about the scene she saw during the day. The big tree was covered with red silk, and there were many gold and silver jewelry. Looking at those things, she felt very sad.
feel bad.
Leng Shuang tossed and turned, unable to sleep, until there was a knock on the door from outside, "Dong dong dong."
"Madam, the servant has come in."
Leng Shuang quickly lay down, closed her eyes, and pretended to be asleep.
The door creaked open, Leng Shuang heard footsteps, and someone came to her bed.
"Who are you?" Leng Shuang asked.
"I'm here to deliver food."
Leng Shuang opened her eyes and looked at the girl. She was holding a food box in her hand. Inside the food box were a bowl of porridge, a plate of vegetables, and a pot of wine.
"I'm not hungry."
"Madam, this wine is a good thing. It can relieve fatigue and help you sleep." The girl said softly.
Leng Shuang looked at her and said, "Put it there."
"My slave, please retreat first."
After the maid left, Leng Shuang sat up.
She looked at the bottle of medicinal powder on the table, and she was about to put it back to its place, but she suddenly stopped. She remembered that the man asked her to sprinkle the medicinal powder in the room.
Leng Shuang hesitated for a moment, then decided to give it a try. Anyway, it didn't poison her to death.
Leng Shuang took out an embroidery needle from under the pillow, pricked her finger, and dropped a few drops of blood into the bottle. She sealed the bottle cap, put it under the pillow, and lay down to sleep.
Early the next morning, Leng Shuang woke up and looked at the bottle on the edge of the pillow. A smile appeared on Leng Shuang's lips.
She picked up the bottle and found three words "Forget-Worrow Grass" engraved on the cork.
Forget-worn grass? Why does she feel that this name is familiar?
Leng Shuang thought about it carefully and suddenly remembered that the man last night said that as long as she sprinkled the forgetwort, she would never think about escaping or harming anyone again in her life, and he would always wear a bamboo hat on his face.
, covering his face.
Leng Shuang took the bottle and went to the kitchen. She wanted to ask the woman in the kitchen.
At this time, Leng Shuang saw Liu's mother coming out.
"Madam, are you up?" Liu's mother said respectfully.
"Well, what are you doing today?" Leng Shuang asked.
"Madam is going to attend a banquet today, and I have already ordered people to purchase rouge and gouache," Liu's mother said.
Leng Shuang nodded, "That's good. I'm a little tired. Let's rest for a while."
She returned to her bedroom and lay on the bed, but she couldn't fall asleep. The appearance of the mysterious man and his strange expression appeared in her mind.
"Is he really the mysterious man?" Leng Shuang murmured: "But why did he want to help me? Could it be..."
Leng Shuang suddenly thought of something important. She quickly got up, picked up the bottle on the table, walked towards the window, and then sprinkled all the powder in the bottle on the window sill.
When Leng Shuang returned to bed, she closed her eyes, her heart beating rapidly, and she felt a little excited.
After a while, she slowly calmed down. She listened for a moment and heard voices in the yard. She immediately opened the curtain and walked out. She saw several male servants standing in the yard. They
They all carried a bamboo basket in their hands, filled with vegetables and fruits. When they saw Leng Shuang coming out, they immediately lowered their heads.
"You go and take these dishes back to the kitchen, and then buy some meat and fish. Let's have a snack tonight."
several
The manservant responded and went to the kitchen. Soon, the cook had all the dishes ready, and then made another pot of chicken soup.
"Madam, the master said that there will be a flower viewing banquet at the mansion tonight. I want you to put on new clothes and prepare clothes for the banquet."
Leng Shuang frowned and said, "I know, I'm going to dress up now."
After Leng Shuang finished dressing up, she wore a light green dress with a white silk scarf on top, a single screw bun on her head, and a pink silk flower on her temples.
She walked out of the room and followed the maid to the garden.
When they arrived in the garden, Leng Shuang found that the place was very beautifully decorated, surrounded by peach blossom forests. There was also a pavilion in the peach blossom forest. The pavilion was surrounded by flowers, which looked very beautiful.
"Madam, please come this way."
Leng Shuang followed the maid to the peach blossom forest. Looking at the scenery here, she couldn't help but sigh.
"Madam, what's wrong with you?" the maid next to her asked with concern.
"Nothing," Leng Shuang shook his head.
"Madam, these flowers are so beautiful in bloom. Look, there is a lotus pond there, it's so beautiful."
"Really?" Leng Shuang looked at the lake not far away. She saw the lake. Opposite the lake was a hillside. The hillside was covered with peach blossoms. Although the branches of the peach blossoms had not sprouted yet, they were vaguely visible.
I guess it will grow faster and faster.
Leng Shuang's eyes narrowed slightly, with a dangerous look in his eyes. It seemed that what the man said was true. This place would really become a paradise. Not just a paradise, it would probably become a fairyland, and he was the one who belonged to this fairyland.
dominate.
When they arrived at the bottom of the hillside, they walked up the stone road along the hillside. The hillside was very high. It took them almost as long as a stick of incense to walk before they reached the halfway point of the mountain. At this time, they finally saw the top of the mountain.
A unique courtyard was built on the top of the mountain. The exterior of the villa was made of blue bricks. Flowers and grass were planted in the courtyard. There were also two geese in the courtyard, which were lazily basking in the sun.
"Whose yard belongs to this yard?" Leng Shuang looked at the two geese and wondered in her heart. Even ordinary people would not let people raise geese in their yard with such a yard!
"Reporting to Madam, this is the courtyard left by the Master. My Madam was not willing to come here before, so I never let anyone in. Madam, don't worry, it is absolutely safe here and no one will come to spy on you." The maid said lowly.
said the voice.
Listening to the maid's words, Leng Shuang became even more convinced of his previous guess.
"Since this is the yard left by dad, I will live here temporarily. During this period, I have worked hard for you." Leng Shuang said softly.
She walked into the house and looked at the furnishings. She felt a little dazed in her heart. Everything here was too familiar. Her memory seemed to have been sealed for a long time. Her head still hurt so much that she couldn't think clearly.
.
"Madam, it's time to have lunch," the maid said.
Leng Shuang looked at the maid. This maid's name was Cuiliu. She was the maid she bought when she first married into the prime minister's house. Leng Shuang was very kind to her. She was also loyal and stayed with Leng Shuang.
Leng Shuang walked to the table and looked at the food on the table. The dishes were very simple. Except for a plate of fried pork liver, the others were all vegetarian. Leng Shuang didn't have much appetite. She drank a bowl of chicken soup.
After eating a piece of ribs, I put down my chopsticks.
"Madam, what's wrong with you? Is the food not to your liking?" the maid Cuiliu asked with concern.
"It's okay, I'm full." Leng Shuang said calmly.
Leng Shuang was full and a little sleepy. She yawned and then said, "You all go and do your own business!"
"Yes, ma'am."
Leng Shuang returned to her room. She was lying on the couch, thinking about what the man said.
There was a fire in her heart, which made her feel a little irritable, but she could not extinguish it. She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
If that mysterious man
If she was not lied to, she would soon find that place, retrieve her things, and finally leave the Prime Minister's Mansion and live in isolation from the world. As for everything in the Prime Minister's Mansion, let them continue to fight.
Anyway, she couldn't control it anymore. The only thing she could think of now was to protect the child in her belly and not let her child die in this messy house.
Leng Shuang thought a lot. She suddenly sat up from the couch and looked at the empty room. A burst of sadness suddenly surged in her heart. It turned out that she had stayed in this place for more than five years without knowing it. She has not forgotten it.
What happened at the beginning.
She didn't blame anyone for what happened back then. Her father was also innocent. What she hated was her mother. It was her mother who made something like that happen to her.
Thinking of this, Leng Shuang's face turned gloomy. This woman was so cruel that she treated her so cruelly.
"Madam? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Cuiliu, the maid, came in with a basin of hot water and looked at Leng Shuang with a bad look on her face.
"Oh, I'm fine," Leng Shuang replied calmly, "Cuiliu, please help me walk around the yard outside to get some fresh air!"
Cuiliu glanced at Leng Shuang, and then said: "Madam, if you don't feel well, it's better not to go out! The air here is quite good."
Leng Shuang glanced at her, and then said: "It's okay, help me out."
Cuiliu had no choice but to help Leng Shuang out and walked into the yard. Leng Shuang looked at the environment here and smiled. She was already tired of the intrigue days. She wanted to live an ordinary life. She just hoped
My husband will be good to me all my life.
"Madam, are you tired? Let me make you a cup of tea!" Cuiliu said.
Leng Shuang nodded, leaning back on the chair to rest.
Leng Shuang closed her eyes and suddenly heard the sound of footsteps. She opened her eyes and saw a slender man walking into the yard.
Holding a jug of wine in his hand, he walked slowly towards Leng Shuang.
