Chapter 225 Half a Pearl

Cao sneaked into the inner house at night.

On the way, I knew that Mr. Hou was poisoned because the crowd in the front house suddenly decreased.

She had been responsible for the defense of the Hou Mansion for the past ten years. In the past two years, Qin Meng and her had long discussed what to do if something happened to the Marquis. The usual practice was to shrink the defense line of the people and concentrate it in front and behind the Baihua Hall in the inner residence.

She was on the roof, looking at the empty, dark front house.

Manager Lian was living in the suburbs these days. She lay on the roof of the main building of Baihua Hall, thinking, if Manager Lian was here, would he go into the secret room and release all the puppets?

Because the Marquis never mentioned who would be in charge of the front house that the fans abandoned when something happened.

Now, she knows that it is the puppets who are guarding.

It is of course impossible for her to have no doubts in the past ten years.

She was on the roof, pushed aside the tiles, looked down, and saw Lou Shuluan.

The mirror was bright, and she sat beside the screened bed, holding her husband's hand.

Cao Xiwan caught a glimpse of Chen's mother carrying a basin out of the room, and she quickly took out a small pocket bag.

Inside her waist bag were the reed blowpipe and drug she had snatched. The thieves from Wumen liked to use this.

The city patrol officer Baili Yun, the miasma smoker, does have a complete set of poison-blowing tools, all made of bronze, which are exquisite and safe. But if he is discovered and the tools are found, the Marquis will know it is her at a glance.

She put the poison aside and took a pack of poison. She skillfully applied the medicine to the blowpipe and took the antidote herself.

She slowly blew the poison out from the cracks in the tiles.

Lou Shuluan was lost in thought when Wenxue quietly stepped forward and brought a cup of hot tea: "Madam. Madam, please take care of yourself."

"...Go get my medicine box."

"Yes, madam." Wenxue went to the dressing table and opened the drawer. Inside was a small carved wooden box.

Wenxue recognized it. The Twelve Young Master asked the Marquis to bring it.

She opened the box and found ten neat compartments for medicine. One of the compartments was empty, and the wife had already taken one.

Wenxue presented the box with both hands, and Lou Shuluan took out another one and sighed: "If the Marquis is fine, then you can have someone send a message to the Twelfth Young Master, saying that I remember his affection."

"Madam, please take care of the pregnancy."

"You don't know yet, do you?"

"Absolutely yes." Wenxue expressed her heartfelt joy to Mrs. Hou.

In any case, the Marquis has no legitimate son, and there is a fight for title in the mansion.

The girl looked at Mr. Hou on the bed again, and was of course shocked in her heart as to why he was suddenly poisoned. Who did it? After all, although the Twelve Young Masters had a plan, they still had to wait for the Biying Twelve Puppet Formation to be obtained before dealing with Song Chengming.

And recently, I heard the words of the Marquis and his wife, and the Crown Prince of Qin came to the palace again and again with letters from the King of Qin. There were also princes and relatives who came to the palace to persuade, and Your Majesty also felt that the King of Qin was trustworthy. Your Majesty should let the Marquis

Discuss with Prince Qin's Mansion how to monitor Prince Zhao who is about to enter the capital.

——The King of Zhao and his party stopped after crossing the Yangtze River. They said they were sick.

Your Majesty intends to send someone to urge you. But you don't want King Zhao to think that His Majesty Long Yan is so angry that his life will be in danger if he enters the capital again. The decision between this will be decided by the Royal Prince Qin and the Jin Yiwei.

Cao Xiwan fell outside the window. She stood by the window crack and saw Lou Shuluan taking a medicine from a small box.

She thought about it and realized that Liu Ruhai should have told her that Feng Junqing gave the Marquis a wooden box, saying it was a relic of Lou's mother. She squinted and smiled, a relic?

Mrs. Lou? She has indeed passed away three years ago. Lou Shuluan married late because of her filial piety.

Lou Shuluan took the anti-fetal medicine given by Feng Junqing and felt much more at ease.

She held her husband's hand, feeling sad in her heart. If something unexpected happened again, Song Chengming's poison would not be cured tonight, and she could only look forward to the blood and bones in her belly.

Grandma Chen was anxious for her wife. She held a lantern on the back porch and looked at the west corner door, eagerly waiting.

Fortunately, a police whistle sounded from Fanzi, followed by Qin Meng's voice.

came back!

Grandma Chen held up the lantern and caught up a few steps at the entrance of the corridor. Sure enough, she saw two figures from a hundred households in rich clothes coming towards her.

The medical ghost Chen Ming, carrying the medicine box on his back, quietly entered the house from the west corner door and rushed there with Qin Meng. Granny Chen raised the lantern in her hand: "This way!"

"Madam, Chen Baihu is here."

"Please come quickly." Lou Shuluan was naturally overjoyed. Seeing that the hourglass lasted only half a quarter of an hour, she quickly stood up from the bed and said, "Look at the Marquis."

"Fortunately, there is still hope." Chen Ming checked his pulse and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Madam, Chen Qianhu also brought some people to guard the front gate of the Hou Mansion." Qin Meng also put his heart back in his heart and reported to Mrs. Hou.

"Well done. I will definitely report the hard work of Mr. Qin and all your lords tonight to the Marquis."

This Qin Baihu was indeed loyal to the Marquis. Lou Shuluan felt happy.

Chen Ming checked his pulse and felt uneasy. There was something wrong with this poison? It seemed like he had taught Cao Xiwan before.

He prescribed the prescription and gave the decoction to Mr. Hou to take. Seeing that everything was going well, Lou Shuluan suddenly covered her belly with her hands and her eyes showed pain.

"Madam?" Granny Chen was shocked, "What's wrong, madam?"

"Stomach, stomachache——"

Qin Meng, who had just left Baihua Hall, heard the commotion in the inner room and hurried back again: "Why are you panicking?"

The girl panicked: "My wife seems to have fetal force!"

Fortunately, Chen Ming was here, and he quickly asked his wife to lie down quietly and checked her pulse.

"I'm pregnant. It's true that the fetus has moved. It's okay." He muttered again, feeling that the pulse was a bit strange, as if there were two mutually incompatible poisons, "... I'm poisoned. But it's okay. I'll invite Liu Shoushi tomorrow.

, Yan Songmou, by the way, Dr. Feng from my wife’s side is here, and we will consider a prescription together, but in my opinion, it’s okay without taking medicine. After a while, the poisons will offset each other.”

Chen Ming was extremely cautious and did not dare to take medicine.

At this time, the sky was already twilight, and Liancheng stepped into the inner hall. He had just hurried back from the suburbs. He hurriedly went to see the Marquis in front of the bed, and saw that the Marquis was breathing calmly. He felt relieved, and heard Chen Ming say this.

, Liancheng was even more surprised and happy.

"Is your wife happy?" He knew very well that the Marquis expected his wife to have a legitimate son, so how could he dare to take it lightly?

Steward Lian Er quickly said: "Master Marquis has a poison-avoiding bead in his belt. Do you want to cut some for your wife to take?"

"Ordinary poison repellent beads are actually of little use -"

"Bizhu in the Tongtian Pool of Biying Palace."

"...useful." Chen Ming immediately changed his words, but he also looked at Manager Lian Er in surprise. Whose is this bead? Didn't he steal it from Cao Xiwan before? If she knew about it, she would kill someone.

Liancheng just pretended not to know and looked around to confirm that the Qingluo female ghost was not there: "Where is Qing Niangzi?"

Qin Meng subconsciously replied: "Not here."

Cao Xiwan squatted under the window. Hearing the talkative Wenxue in the room, she couldn't help but say: "It's a coincidence that she's not here! She disappeared when something happened in the house."

Liancheng glanced at her and Wenxue didn't dare to speak. Liancheng went to get the Marquis's belt in person, opened the mechanism and took out a half-sized green bead.

Cao Xiwan was squatting outside, waiting for this opportunity, and quickly jumped in.

"I heard something happened to Mr. Hou! What happened to Mr. Hou?"

She originally got seven green beads. The first one was given to her by Su Jintian on her birthday, and the next six were deceived by her.

She had lost the first one a long time ago. She pretended to be negligent in order to lure the snake out of its hole. She never expected that Feng Xiaochuquan would steal it.

She smiled ferociously. If you dare to steal her poison beads, don't blame her for being rude.

The Marquis still doesn't know that the bizhu in Tongtian Lake is not something that can be eaten casually.
