The Epic Revenge Chapter 170: Drug dregs
Gu Qingzhou prescribed the medicine, and the fifth concubine Tai Huayan made the medicine herself.
Hana Yan personally went to He's Pharmacy, bought herbs and a medicine stove.
This is also what Gu Qingzhou ordered.
The shopkeeper is a very kind person, teaching her bit by bit, Hua Yan felt very relaxed.
"It's also quite easy to decoct medicine." Hua Yan thought to himself.
She slowly starts a fire with a ball fan.
The fragrance of the medicine overflowed, and Hua Yan took a deep breath. She liked the taste very much. It was bitter but healthy.
"Auntie, how long will this medicine last?" asked Xiuxiu, Hua Yan's trusted maid.
"Five doses, one dose a day, and three days left." Hua Yan said.
Xiuxiu frowned: "Is it really that easy? It's not a big problem for you, concubine, I'm afraid you will suffer in vain."
Xiu Xiu thinks this medicine smells so bad that even good people will go wrong.
Hua Yan tapped her head lightly and said with a smile, "Don't arbitrarily discuss right and wrong. Miss Gu is a genius doctor, and the Overseer praises her. I believe she can cure my disease."
Gu Qingzhou's medical skills have been praised by the governor more than once, and Si Qiongzhi has also mentioned it many times.
Hanahiko believes her.
Hua Yan thought deeply: "I have been in the manor for more than five years, and I still have no children. If Miss Gu can help me with the conditioning, I should be very happy that the Overseer came late to have a child."
Just thinking of this, Hua Yan is always a little unwilling.
She doesn't want to help the Warden have children.
Somewhere in her heart, there is often a little bit of urge to move. Those thoughts, only she herself knew, and even Xiuxiu didn't tell it.
After several years of brewing, those thoughts never disappeared, but only grew stronger.
Because of this, Hua Yan is very resistant to having children. She always feels that she has given birth to a child, and there is no other possibility in this life.
She didn't want this, she was looking forward to a miracle.
Xiuxiu stopped talking and sat next to her with her head down. She seemed to be thinking about something.
Hana Yan returned to his senses, looked at Xiuxiu, and remembered some past events.
Xiuxiu is nineteen years old this year. She is the daughter of the shopkeeper of Huayan's family.
At that time, it was still the former dynasty, and the rules were not broken. Hua Yan's mother often said that in the future, Xiuxiu would be given to Hua Yan as a dowry maid, and the two would support each other in the future.
The dowry maid is a decent maid who can be the uncle's maid. After giving birth to a child, she is a concubine.
Therefore, Hua Yan and Xiuxiu have been relatively close since childhood. Although Hua Yan is six years older than Xiuxiu, they treat her like a confidant, hoping that Xiuxiu can help her in the family business in the future.
Men have wives, unless they're particularly unpromising men.
Hanahiko can't marry a hopeless man.
Since it is inevitable to have a concubine and a concubine, it is better to choose someone who is familiar with and loyal to yourself.
Xiuxiu's character is that she will never pick troubles between Hua Yan and her uncle, and Hua Yan trusts her very much.
I just didn't expect that now Hua Yan herself has become someone's concubine.
"Xiuxiu, you are twenty in a blink of an eye." Hua Yan said.
Xiuxiu raised her eyes and looked at her puzzled.
Because of a new law issued by the Nanjing government, women must be 20 years old before they can get married, and the servants of the Si family must abide by the law to avoid being sued by a military court.
Xiuxiu's marriage has also been delayed until today.
"I have to find a way to find a good marriage for you." Hua Yan smiled.
Xiuxiu blushed: "My aunt is making fun of me again!"
Hua Yan patted her on the head gently, like treating her younger sister: "Don't be shy, girls are all going to get married. In my opinion, the governor's house is a quagmire. I ask my mother to make the decision and move you out of the Si family's house. It's the future."
Xiu Xiu's face changed suddenly.
She looked at Hua Yan in amazement, her thin lips parted slightly, and a sentence hovered in her mouth.
She hesitated before finally bowing her head.
Hua Yan could see that she was very sad, but she just thought that she was reluctant to let herself go, and said: "The two of us are also going to be separated. I can't drag you down for a lifetime and let you always serve me."
Xiu Xiu lowered her head and said nothing.
Hana Yan boiled the medicine, and the smell of medicine filled the house, she was relaxed and happy.
At this time, the maid Xiangyu smiled and walked up to Hua Yan: "Miss Wu, this house is so smoked, let me decoct for you."
Aunt Wu was too stunned.
She didn't expect that Gu Qingzhou asked her to fish, and she fished out Xiangyu.
Xiangyu is very honest and diligent in her work. The fifth concubine likes her very much.
Besides, unlike other servants, she never visits, she is honest. Not long ago, Xiangyu gave birth to a son, and the fifth concubine also rewarded her with a three-month leave and a generous gift of fifty yuan.
Why is she a traitor?
Hanahiko was surprised, and her face suddenly turned ugly. Her eyes were deep and quietly fell on Xiangyu's face.
Xiangyu also looked pale, took the small fan from Hua Yan's hand, and slowly set it on fire.
According to the original plan, the fifth concubine stood up, stretched her waist and said, "Then you can boil it, I'll take a break."
She went upstairs.
Xiuxiu followed her up.
The fifth concubine gave Xiuxiu a wink and asked Xiuxiu to pay attention to Xiangyu's movements.
A moment later, Xiuxiu came up and said, "Auntie, Xiangyu has added something to your medicine stove!"
The fifth aunt is very angry.
Afterwards, Xiangyu boiled the medicine, Xiuxiu brought it up, and handed it to the fifth concubine.
The fifth concubine was so angry that she patted the table and asked Xiangyu, "Who are you the spy sent here?"
Xiangyu's feet were so frightened that she knelt down to the fifth concubine and kowtowed hard.
A few days later, the fifth concubine asked Gu Qingzhou to review it. After school on Wednesday, Gu Qingzhou took time to go.
"......I really didn't expect it to be her!" The fifth concubine was very annoyed when she mentioned Xiangyu.
She told Gu Qingzhou all about the poisoning of Xiangyu.
Gu Qingzhou pondered slightly: "Have you lost the medicine residue?"
"No, I asked Xiuxiu to put it away, so as not to turn over the old accounts later, there is no evidence!" Mrs. Wu said.
On this point, the fifth concubine is still very shrewd.
"Bring the dregs to me to see." Gu Qingzhou pondered.
The fifth aunt nodded and asked Xiuxiu to get it.
Gu Qingzhou asked the fifth concubine again: "Who is Xiangyu?"
"She said she was the fourth concubine's wife, but the fourth concubine didn't recognize her, so she pulled a pimp. The Overseer said that the servant was just listening to the master, and Xiangyu couldn't help it, so she let her go and took the four Auntie is locked up.
The fourth aunt shouted that she was wronged, saying that I joined Xiangyu to frame her! What did I frame her for? She gave birth to a daughter, both mother and daughter are not favored, why should I harm her? "The fifth aunt was very angry.
Gu Qingzhou was silent for a moment.
She didn't answer because it was a little weird.
Gu Qingzhou asked the fifth concubine to try it out to see who would avoid suspicion.
Unexpectedly, I caught a poisoned one.
Isn't that stupid?
Gu Qingzhou didn't say anything at first, but only let the fifth concubine get a medicine stove to decoct the medicine by herself.
Then, she asked the fifth concubine to send money to the He's pharmacy to support the He family.
This was earned by Gu Qingzhou's craftsmanship and ability, but she gave it to the He family, and He Mengde definitely didn't want it.
The He family maintains the pharmacy, which is the foundation of traditional Chinese medicine. Gu Qingzhou doesn't want to break the foundation. This will destroy the traditional Chinese medicine, and she will feel sorry for her master.
Gu Qingzhou originally wanted to say: "Whoever has a ghost in his heart will definitely avoid suspicion. If he sees you boiling the medicine and doesn't come up to help, anyone may be a spy."
Because the servants will definitely please the master, and those who dare to avoid and ignore them are definitely ghosts.
She thought the servants at the Overseer's House were smart, or that the master behind the servants was smart.
Suddenly someone poisoned, Gu Qingzhou felt bad.
Not so stupid!
"That Xiangyu is really not from the fourth concubine." Gu Qingzhou thought to herself.
She was thinking that Xiuxiu had already brought the dregs over.
Gu Qingzhou turned over the dregs and saw hellebore.
"What, there are other medicinal materials in the dregs, right?" Mrs. Wu said.
"Yes, there is hellebore. There is white peony in the prescription, and there are eighteen antisense in the hellebore and white peony." Gu Qingzhou said.
"Yes, Xiangyu also confessed like this. She said that the fourth concubine asked her to let it go, and she said that Xiangyu was ignorant and messed around." The fifth concubine said angrily.
Gu Qingzhou held the dregs and pondered a little.
"Who caught Xiangyu and put the medicine?" Gu Qingzhou asked suddenly.
"Xiu Xiu," said the fifth concubine.
Gu Qingzhou raised her eyes and glanced at Xiuxiu.
Xiuxiu is a pretty girl, she is not as tall as the fifth concubine, and her facial features are not so beautiful. Her waist is exquisite and enchanting, and her skin is fair. When she looks carefully, she is quite charming.
Especially her bulging chest may be a nice attraction to some men.
Xiu Xiu guesses that she knows that, so her cardigan is tighter at the waist.
Gu Qingzhou likes to wear a slanted cardigan, and she deliberately closes the clothes around her waist, she can see that.
The eyes flashed slightly, Gu Qingzhou smiled.
Xiu Xiu's eyes were a little dodgy.
Gu Qingzhou put away the dregs, clapped her hands and said, "Miss Wu, the dampness and heat in your body has gone by 90%. As long as you don't addicted to alcohol, your abdominal pain will not recur in the future. Then, last time we said Ok..."
"I will send someone to send four hundred yuan to He's Pharmacy tomorrow. This is my intention." The fifth concubine said with a smile.
This is more than the price Gu Qingzhou offered.
However, the fifth concubine didn't care about the money. She caught Xiangyu and was in a good mood, so she was willing to spend money to buy a happy one.
Gu Qingzhou has a slightly restrained expression.
She returned to Gu Mansion overnight with a lot of thoughts on her mind.
She thought: "The road has been paved, Si Qiongzhi's recruit should be here, but it's a pity that the servant named Xiangyu was kicked out for no reason. I also feel sorry for the fourth concubine, who became a scapegoat. "
The whole thing was beyond Gu Qingzhou's expectations. She guessed that it was Si Qiongzhi who did it.
Si Mu hugged Gu Qingzhou and turned around that day, Si Qiongzhi saw her from a distance, and Gu Qingzhou also caught a glimpse of her out of the corner of the eye.
And the military governor intends to marry Gu Qingzhou and Si Mu, Mrs. Si and Si Qiongzhi must have guessed the wind.
Si Qiongzhi wants to deal with Gu Qingzhou, at least make Gu Qingzhou lose the trust of the commander.
"It should be this weekend, Si Qiongzhi will arrange a play for me." Gu Qingzhou thought to himself.
Thinking of this, Gu Qingzhou understands that she has no relationship with the Si family.
Mrs. Si didn't like it, Si Qiongzhi hated it, and Si Mu was lukewarm, so she couldn't put herself into the tiger's mouth.
Of course, she has no chance, Si Xingpei will not allow her to have other thoughts.
Thinking silently, Gu Qingzhou fell asleep.
On the evening of Friday, Gu Qingzhou came back from school. After dinner, she received a call from the Governor's House, which was called by the fifth concubine.
