While black clouds were pressing down on the city in Xuan Ming Palace, Song Yixiao was leading Bell, Mossy Jin, and other beloved ones, and was hurriedly walking through the corridors of the Song Mansion.
Previously, when Emperor Duanhua was begged by Jian Xu Bai to send his chamberlains and court judges to the Song residence to save the people, although he did not give a gag order, but before he got the will of his superiors, the palace people did not dare to spread the news at will, so now the outside world does not know that such a big thing has happened in the Song residence.
The reason Song Yixiao had rushed over was because the Song residenceâs subordinates had sensed that something was wrong before the chamberlain had arrived and rushed to the Duke of Yanâs residence to report the news so she would definitely have to make a run for it.
âWhatâs the situation now?â Song Yixiao asked the Song subordinate who was leading the way as she flew toward the back hall, âCan there be any salvation?â
At the end of autumn and early winter season, that subordinate only wearing a jacket, but sweating, messy wiped his face, before trembling voice said, âThe second young lady in fact older, and has always been sensitive, to see the grandma at that time the face is not right, pretending to drink grandma poured the fruit of the dew, but will be hidden under the tongue, did not swallow. When the grandmother left, hurriedly spit on the ground, went out and shouted people small party went to ask the big miss, the grannies have been using the earth method to the third miss and the fourth son to induce vomiting, just ⦠just the third miss and the fourth son are still young, how is it now, small also I donât know!â
They have arrived at the door of the back hall, but did not imagine that the inside and outside of the three circles surrounded by the scene, only five or six grannies guarding, these people look very strange, at least Song Yixiao two memories of the past two lives, have not seen them.
âEldest Miss!â Seeing her coming, the grannies bowed and saluted, the first one stood out, signaling the informant to stop outside the door, she accompanied Song Yixiao towards the inside, compared to the panic of the informant, this granny appeared to be very calm, she even reminded Song Yixiao of the newly replaced steps that were one step longer than the previous ones, âJust now the palace has already sent people here, and his majesty has sent the judge of the court, the fourth son is no longer in danger of dying, the judge said that the next step is just to recuperate. The fourth sonâs life is no longer in danger, and the court judge said that he only needs to recuperate, so I donât think heâll have any more serious problems.â
âFourth brother?â Song Yi smiled with a raised eyebrow, âWhat about the second and third sisters?â
âSecond Miss is safe and sound because she spit out the fruit dew in time, and is now accompanying Third Miss.â The granny whispered, âThird Missâs situation ⦠is not too good!â
Song Yixiao furrowed her brows and swept the room in front of her, âWhich one are they in?â
Before Song Lu was feeding the three children cranes in her own inner room, and after Song Yibao went out to seek help, the underlings chose compartments nearby to house the young masters for convenience.
The little sisters are now staying in the East Room.
Song Yixiao walked in, and saw that on the soft couch, which was temporarily covered with bedding, lay Song Yijiao, whose eyes were tightly closed and whose face was pale and green. Song Yibao held his sisterâs hand, and sat by the side of the couch in a dazed manner, and that pair of apricot eyes, which were identical to Song Yixiaoâs, had lost their usual spirituality, and were only a piece of grayness.
Not even the arrival of her eldest sister brought her back to her senses.
In addition to the four or five serving subordinates in the room, there is also an old and a young man, looking at the dress is the courtyard judge and the courtyard judgeâs medicine boy.
âMrs. Song!â This court judge was newly appointed, and Song Yixiao hadnât actually met, but at this moment, guessing could guess who it was, and seeing her come in, she was busy getting up and saluting.
âDonât be too polite, Court Judge!â Song Yixiao waved her hand with a sullen face and opened the door, âI wonder what the situation of my concubineâs third sister is?â
âThird Miss Song ⦠â The court judge flicked his beard, withdrawing the hand that was lightly resting on Song Yijiaoâs pulse, weighing his words, âThird Miss she ⦠â
As he spoke, he looked at Song Yibao out of the corner of his eye.
Song Yixiao understood his thoughts and nodded, âIf the court judge has finished diagnosing, please also serve tea in the main room!â
Orders Bell again, âThe sisters are bound to be terrified, you stay and watch!â
A few moments later, Song Yixiao led the court judge to the back hall, before accompanying Song Yixiao in the granny went to make tea, but no matter Song Yixiao or the court judge, at this moment are not interested in tasting the tea, only a symbolic dip in the lips will be put down, cut to the heart of the matter, âThe court judge has something to say, but please speak frankly!â
âThird Miss Songâs condition is not too good.â The court judge nodded, looking grave, âAlthough the grannies had already used earth methods to help her spit out most of the poison before my humble servant arrived, but since Third Miss Song is already young and canât afford to be tossed around, my humble servant can only do her best.â
The implication was that he was unsure of keeping Song Yijiao alive.
Song Yixiao said, âI donât have any other meaning, just that when I came here, I heard from the people underneath that it was concubineâs second sister who went out and shouted for someone to come into the inner room, and at the same time, saved concubineâs third sister and fourth brother? If thatâs the case, why is concubineâs fourth brother not in any serious trouble now?â
These two siblings are twins, and raised in a home, even if Song Yijiao had stayed in Mrs. Pangâs lap for a period of time, but in the past two years, but has been raised by his own mother, Song Luâs ah the Song family is not unable to uncover the pot, Song Luâs is not the kind of person who particularly favors sons over daughters, will it still make the difference in the treatment of siblings disparity?
The situation should be the same if you take the poison at the same time and get help at the same time!
âThis is something that the subordinate official doesnât understand either.â The court judge said with some embarrassment, âThe subordinate just gave the fourth son diagnosis, found that although the fourth son is very weak, but this is because the vomiting is too much, in the life is not a problem, just need to properly recuperate on some days, will be able to get well; but the third young lady ⦠the third young lady is poisoned already deep! â
Song Yixiao contemplated the meeting, did not say anything more, only solemnly thanked the court judge, and asked him to open a prescription, sent the subordinate to take to the medicine that court judge see nothing to do with their own, proposed to retire, âThe next official by the Sacred Command to come, Mrs. here if there is no other command, the next official has to go back to resume their duties! â
âThank you, Court Judge!â Song Yi smiled and nodded, ordering him to be rewarded with a pair of gold collars and personally escorting him to the door before turning back to the back hall.
After she returned to the back hall, the granny who had guided her in earlier came up and inquired, âIs madam going to see the fourth prince?â
âSince you all say that fourth brother is not much of a problem, thereâs nothing wrong with me going to see it later!â Song Yi smiled and dialed down the wrist bracelet, pointing to his seat not far away, âBut this is the house, good reason to happen such a big event, and has reached heaven for the younger siblings of the future, I do this eldest sister, can not help but ask a few questions! Please sit down, mom, with me to make things clear, and then discuss the rest!â
The granny took her seat as she was told and said, âUnknown what does the eldest miss want to ask?â
âWhatâs momâs name?â Song Yi smiled and looked at her, âI donât think Iâve ever seen you before? Not only have you, but of the subordinates Iâve seen along the way today, nine out of ten have never seen you before. But mom has only been with mother for the past two years?â
The maid first introduced herself, âThe maidâs name is Pu, if Miss Da doesnât mind, just call the maid âMama Puâ!â
Repeat faintly smiled, âBig Miss is joking! Slave handmaiden these people for generations responsible for arching Songâs blood, if it is by the big miss dispensation is still possible, as for grandma ⦠she which is qualified to make the slave handmaiden?â
Sure enough!
Song Yixiao before seeing these strange women, mannerisms far different from the past in the old lady Pang and Song Luâs left and right to see the people, I know there must be origin after all, even the Song family side branch of the Song Luo Yan and Song Man to go to the Imperial City to catch the examination, there are two teams of elite servants escort, not to mention as a direct branch of the Jiangnan Hall?
âSo itâs Mama Pu!â Song Yixiao settled down and nodded slightly at her, then asked, âBut I donât know how mama Pu managed to detoxify fourth brother, is there only one similar means or antidote, so much so that she couldnât save third sister anymore?â
As soon as the court judge mentioned Song Yijiaoâs situation with Song Yiyao, Song Yixiao suspected that it wasnât that Song Yiyao had a better life than Song Yijiao, but that because he was the only male heir of Jiangnan Hall, the Jiangnan Hallâs World Servant, who had bailed him out at all costs!
It was only inconvenient to talk when the court judge was there.
Now that the court judge was gone and there were no more idlers around, she naturally wouldnât pretend to be confused anymore!
âThe medicine that removed the poison for the fourth prince did not come from Jiangnan Hall.â Mother Pu smiled at this and said frankly, âBut it was passed down after the extinction of the Jinxiu Hall.â
âMiss wants to also know, Jinxiu Hallâs ancestor, there is a young lady, had got the end of Wei Yong early time god doctor Ji go sick true, so left a lot of insights to the Jinxiu Hall.â
âAlthough our Jiangnan Hall is not inferior to the Fairview Hall in terms of overall heritage, it has always been inferior to the Fairview Hall in this regard because of the lack of similar blessings.â
âIt is also fortunate that there was no one left in the Jinxiu Hall later, Old Lady Duanmu inherited the family business as a daughter and was challenged by the side branches, the Jinxiu Hall was thus fragmented, and many secret things, Fang strayed outside.â
âThe old master seized the opportunity to get some at that time, and there are still a few left after all these years of use.â
âThen why donât you save third sister?â Song Yixiao pinched her brow and asked with a bit of impatience.
But Mama Pu laughed again, âOf course the slave girls could have saved Third Miss, but, how would that quell the anger of Eldest Miss?â
âWhat do you mean?!â Song Yixiao stopped her movements and looked at her coldly.
âThere has to be an explanation for the death of County Lord Anyang, donât you think so, Missy?â Pu mother said calmly, âAfter all, although Miss is my Jiangnan Hall first daughter, but in the Hengshan Kingâs House grew up, there is a long time to love each other, halfbrother and halfbrother, and halfbrother and halfbrother, although it can be said that your own brother and sister, but the two weigh each other, you pay more attention to, naturally, or the mother of the same siblings Even if you remember the love of flesh and blood, in knowing that Grandma Lu is your motherâs murderer, you should have an explanation, right? Even if you are thinking of the love of flesh and blood, after knowing that Grandma Lu is your motherâs murderer, did not lay hands on this side, but you still remember this matter in your heart, so, in these two years, you have been ignoring this side of the Song residence.â
She glanced at the west room, âThis time, the fourth sonâs narrow escape from death, but you have not gone to see him a glance, because you simply do not care about his death of course, the slave girl is not saying that you are cold, the heart of the human being is flesh, how the master in the time of how to treat you, we as subordinates have a clear understanding of the heart, which can not be blamed on you! Especially Grandma Luâs previous approach, but also completely chilled your heart, you did not retaliate against the Song family, has been magnanimous!â
Mother Pu sighed deeply, âBut, right now, the only one who has any hope of preserving the inheritance of the Jiangnan Hall lineage is you!â
âThen slave girls and these people, naturally, must think of ways to make you willing to help and step in to protect the Fourth Duke from his motherâs involvement!â
âGrandma Lu plotted the assassination of Princess Wei, resulting in the untimely death of the innocent County Princess Anyang who was implicated.â
âNow that Grandma Lu has no chance of survival, and her own daughter, has lost her life to County Lord AnyangI wonder if Missy, on account of the same fatherâs connection, could you save the Fourth Prince?â
Saying that, not only did she kneel down, at this moment, except for Song Yixiao and Song Yixiaoâs beloved ones, the entire back hall and the inside and outside, all the subordinates knelt down one after another, pleading earnestly.
But Song Yi smiled at these people, and after a long time, she laughed out coldly through her teeth, âMother Pu, do you know what came to mind when I heard your words?â
Seeing Popeâs mother looking up in confusion.
A distinctly sarcastic look appeared on her face, âYou all went out of your way to give up Song Yiyao in exchange for my promise to keep her alive, nothing more than because Song Yiyao is a girlâ
Mother Puâs words dawned on her, and she couldnât help but change color!
Song Yixiao had continued, âBut have you guys thought about it? All of my sorrows in this Song family began with the fact that, I am not a male!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!â
âSo do you think, at this moment, I am satisfied that you know what you are doing, or, are you in the same boat?!â
