Chapter 184: There is always a price to be paid (one chapter late)
When it came to Luo Jiuli, Ziwen didn't dare to talk casually.
Yesterday, the eldest lady had a bad temper all night, threw jade items all over the floor, and scolded all eighteen generations of Luo Jiuli's ancestors in the room.
He even secretly stabbed the villain and stuffed Luo Jiuli's birth date into it.
She was so frightened that she was afraid that outsiders would find out.
It wasn't until the next day that I heard people talking on the street outside the mansion, saying that Luo Jiuli had been kidnapped by gangsters and raped by beggars, which had completely disgraced the Duke of the country.
Later, someone said that Luo Jiuli was abducted by gangsters, but was quickly rescued by the Ninth Prince and even stayed in the Ninth Prince's Mansion.
There is a man and a woman alone, one man is unmarried and the other woman is unmarried.
I'm afraid that the rumor that Luo Jiuli has a very close relationship with the Nine Kings will come true.
That's why the eldest lady went crazy.
After all, no one in the capital knows and no one knows.
The eldest daughter of the Da Sima Mansion fell in love with the Ninth Prince, and in order to marry the Ninth Prince, she treated herself like an old girl.
But in the end, his beard was cut off by a friendly concubine.
If it were other unmarried ladies in the capital, the eldest lady would not be so angry.
Just as Ziwen thought, Hu Bingyu's hatred for Luo Jiuli has reached an all-time high.
"Bitch, I was careless this time and didn't plan well. Next time I will make her die without any body parts."
Hu Bingyu's expression was gloomy and ugly, and she quickly entered the Jade Cuixuan.
Normally, if Hu Bingyu returned to the courtyard, there would be servants coming to greet her, but tonight the courtyard was unusually quiet.
"Where have all the people died? Why are they so quiet?"
"What's going on? Caixia, Xiaoliu, Biyun."
Zi Wen was also puzzled. He pulled his neck and called out several names, but no one answered.
"These lazy slaves? This is totally unreasonable! I found them in a moment and dragged them all out to play twenty boards each. I wanted to see if they dared to be lazy."
Hu Bingyu was already in a bad mood, and these slaves were blatantly seeking death.
"Miss, walk slowly and be careful of the steps."
Zi Wen helped Hu Bingyu up the steps and opened the door.
However, as another maid lit the lamp and after an extreme silence, a burst of frightened screams erupted in the room:
"ah--"
"Help! There are dead people! There are dead people!"
"Miss, what's wrong with you? Come and call the doctor."
Inside the room, Hu Bingyu's pupils shrank suddenly, her face was pale and bloodless, her legs were so weak from fear that she could not move a step, and she collapsed directly on the ground.
Opposite her, there was a person, no, it should be said to be a half-dead and lingering 'corpse' in a terrifying octopus-like posture, with severed hands and feet, bleeding mouth and nose, a big black mouth open, drool and blood.
Water was flowing all over the floor, and he was lying on the ground with a lot of air coming in and little air coming out.
Especially when she saw the messy and terrifying face of that person, Hu Bingyu could even feel the blood in her veins rushing like boiling, which made her panic, short of breath, and almost fainted.
Because that person was none other than Mrs. Sun, the shrew she arranged to go out with.
——
At this time, in the imperial city, inside the Changchun Palace.
Concubine Hu's eyes were dark and dim. However, she was angry. For the sake of her prince, she had no other choice.
"Auntie, what should I do? King Zhao has prepared all the medicine, except for the mysterious insect blood-stained jade."
"Snapped!"
The Queen Mother violently threw the tea cup in her hand to the ground, her eyes as sharp as swords.
"The symptoms of King Zhao and Lu Xiyun are the same, and Lu Xiyun is even more serious than King Zhao. Why does King Zhao's prescription contain a mysterious worm blood-stained jade? Don't you know something about it? Could it be that you really thought it was her?
Prescription for dispensing medicine?"
Concubine Hu pursed her lips and clenched her hands tightly under her wide sleeves.
"Auntie, how could I not know that she did it on purpose? But, what can I do? Then Luo Jiuli even threatened King Zhao, saying that King Zhao had a poisonous rash, and that there was a possibility of infection."
"My aunt knows that the royal family will never allow a prince with infectious symptoms to stay in the capital, no matter whether it is true or false."
"If the emperor believes Luo Jiuli's words, then King Zhao's position will be in jeopardy."
"Confused."
The Queen Mother interrupted her sharply.
"Does the disease she said is contagious mean it is a contagious disease? There are so many imperial doctors in the imperial hospital. Is it possible that they are not as good as her, a female doctor who became a monk halfway?"
Concubine Hu's expression condensed.
Knowing that the Queen Mother was still unwilling to take out the Xuan Chong Blood-stained Jade.
"Auntie, have you forgotten that she is not an ordinary female doctor, she is a disciple of Ling Xuzi, and she has an insoluble grudge with King Zhao."
"If she makes some small moves at this time, we in the palace will be beyond our reach."
"What's more, aunt, we asked the emperor to ask her to go to see King Zhao for treatment. She dares to prescribe such a prescription so blatantly. In addition to the support of the Nine Kings, is there an emperor behind this-"
Concubine Hu stopped talking, and a trace of panic gradually rose in her eyes.
"If this were not the case, Prince An would not have suffered the loss of being dumb."
The Queen Mother had an angry face, and her chest was rising and falling obviously because of her anger.
"It seems that she is going to completely break up with the Ai family."
She planned a plan, but in the end, the Duke of Yiguo still stood against her.
"Luo Jiuli, okay, okay, then the Ai family will have to see if you can turn things around."
The Queen Mother glanced at her confidants standing aside, Nanny Sun
"Go and get the Xuan Chong Blood-stained Jade and give it to the noble concubine."
"yes."
Grandma Sun had no expression on her face and turned around to go to the warehouse.
——
The next day, as the sun rose, people from Prince Zhao's Mansion arrived at the gate of Duke Yiguo's Mansion early.
"This is the prescription written by the second lady. These are the prepared medicinal materials. Please ask the second lady to prepare the medicine as soon as possible."
The person who came to the door was the steward of Prince Zhao's Mansion, and the one who received him was the steward of Duke Yiguo's Mansion.
The two of them appeared to be polite on the surface, but in reality they were both holding their breath for their respective masters.
"Please wait."
The housekeeper brought stacks of medicinal materials into Fuquyuan.
"Did it arrive so early?"
Luo Jiuli sat on the chair and casually picked out all the precious medicinal materials.
"Yes, the housekeeper of Prince Zhao's Mansion also said that the second lady should prepare the medicine as soon as possible."
"Well, let him wait for a cup of tea."
"yes."
The butler didn't move.
Luo Jiuli looked at him:
"Anything else?"
"I also heard something this morning."
"explain."
The butler moved forward.
"I heard that there was a thief in Prince Zhao's Mansion last night. Not only was real money and silver lost, but the study was turned upside down."
Luo Jiuli: Is this a coincidence?
This is of course not a coincidence, because the real gold and silver of Prince Zhao's Palace is currently lying quietly in the warehouse of Jiuwang Palace.
As for what happened, it was just a certain prince who was jealous and wanted to teach his juniors a lesson.
Back to Luo Jiuli, this was also the first time she saw the Xuan Chong Blood-stained Jade.
