Song Qinghuan thought about it, and before it was time to carry Mrs. Song's coffin out the door, she took Xiao Ci back to Lanyue Pavilion and told Xiao Ci all the things that came to her mind.
Then he added: "But it's just my guess, I don't know if it's accurate."
She said: "If it wasn't because of the epidemic, I wonder if it was poisoning or something else?"
Because she often works with those poisons, and because the plague has been going on for too long, she thinks about it this way.
Xiao Ci had never thought of it this way. After hearing Song Qinghuan's words, he remained silent for a while. He did not dare to say that Song Qinghuan's guess was right. He only said: "I will tell the imperial doctors about this when I get back."
"
But my mind became more and more heavy.
When the auspicious time came, Mrs. Song's coffin was carried out of the Hou Mansion. Song Qinghuan and Xiao Ci wrapped the coffin in mahjong and sent it out. Since they were women and married, they could only take it to the foot of Nanshan Mountain and stop there.
Song Qingyan cried and cried next to Song Qinghuan, and then she stopped crying until the coffin was no longer visible.
Biting her lip, she said, "My grandmother cares about my brother so much. It's a pity that my brother couldn't come back in time to give her a ride."
Song Qinghuan thought of the old things Xiao Ci told her and couldn't help but sigh again. She patted Song Qingyan and said nothing.
Xiao Ci still had something to do, so he didn't stay too long and said to Song Qinghuan: "You will go back home later and let Liu Jianhaosheng escort you. Be careful. If there is something else in the Five Cities, I will go back first."
Song Qinghuan nodded and said, "Go ahead."
Then he said: "You should be more careful yourself."
Xiao Ci smiled and wanted to reach out and rub her head, but when Song Qingyan was at the side, he couldn't do it, so he turned and left.
The two sisters waited at the foot of Nanshan Mountain for those who had gone up the mountain to return, and then they returned to the Hou Mansion with Song Wende and Xiaoyun family.
Xiaoyun's family was fine. Although her eyes were red and swollen from crying, she could still hold on to her duties.
However, Song Wende developed a low fever as soon as he returned home.
Xiao Yunshi was also panicked at first, fearing that she might run into an epidemic while running outside.
Song Qinghuan went over to see her once and said she was overly sad. Xiao Yun still didn't believe her. She had to have a doctor come to see her once and take some medicine before she felt relieved.
Old Mrs. Song was buried, and the palace became calm. Song Qinghuan did not return to the palace for several days, and it was not suitable to stay any longer.
After sitting for a while, he asked someone to hitch a carriage and go back home.
There is a difference between being married and not being married, so Xiaoyun didn't keep her, she just told her to have a good rest, and asked a few maids to help her if there was something going on in the house.
Then the person was sent out the second door.
The carriage left the Marquis' Mansion and passed through Liuzhu Street towards Prince Rui's Mansion. Song Qinghuan leaned against the carriage wall and lifted the curtain to take a look, and couldn't help but sigh.
Liuzhu Street is jammed with traffic every day of the year, and carriages always have to wait in long queues to get through. But now, the shops on both sides of Liuzhu Street are closed, and only a few people are coming and going in a hurry on the street.
This situation can no longer be associated with the prosperity of the past.
Texue saw Song Qinghuan looking at it for a while, so he also took a look, and then said: "This plague is too disturbing."
Song Qinghuan responded and lowered the car curtain.
The carriage passed through Liuzhu Street and had to go through two smaller streets before reaching Prince Rui's Mansion.
Because he was not in a hurry, Liu Ping's car did not go quickly.
Without thinking, he turned around Liuzhu Street and bumped into a carriage from another house.
The two carriages collided with each other, making a loud noise, and Song Qinghuan and Ta Xue were almost thrown off.
The carriage that Liu Ping drove moved slowly, but nothing happened. Instead, the carriage on the opposite side was damaged, and a man in a black cloak rolled out of the carriage.
When the man landed, the frightened horses raised their hooves and began to move wildly.
Liu Ping hurriedly drove the horse back a few steps, and immediately saw the horse running away quickly, but like a headless fly, bumping around and making a muffled sound.
However, at this moment, the man in a black cloak quickly got on the carriage of Prince Rui's Mansion, and before Liu Ping could react, he pointed a dagger at Song Qinghuan.
"I, I won't kill you, you, you let me leave the city."
It was a woman's voice, but it was hoarse and unpleasant, as if her throat had been injured.
Song Qinghuan knew that Liu Jian was following nearby and was not afraid of being pointed at by the dagger. He only looked at the man in front of him strangely.
The black cloak covered most of her face, covering most of her face. If she hadn't made a sound, she wouldn't have been able to tell that she was a woman.
Doubts arose in his mind, so he said, "Even if I were the Emperor, I wouldn't be able to let you out of the city."
On the second day after the plague broke out, all the gates in the city were sealed, and no one could leave the city without a warrant.
Those outside the city can't get in, and those in the city can't get out, so they can only wait to die.
The woman put the dagger in her hand forward and said, "You can do it, you can do it."
Liu Ping was afraid that this person would really ignore him, so he said sternly: "How dare you, our master is Princess Rui, are you willing to die?"
The woman laughed "hehe" twice: "Who doesn't know Princess Rui? Speaking of which, Princess Rui and I once called her sisters."
Texue frowned and signaled Liu Ping to stop talking, but he moved towards Song Qinghuan calmly.
The woman said: "Song Qinghuan, you are Princess Rui. I robbed you and asked me to leave the city. I think Prince Rui has this ability."
Song Qinghuan looked at the sharp dagger, raised his body slightly, and also smiled "haha".
"My husband has this ability, but I'm afraid you don't."
After a pause, he called out again: "Concubine Yao."
Yao Yuechan's pupils shrank, her whole body trembled involuntarily, and her breathing became heavier: "It's all you, it's all you, it's all you who caused me to fall into this state, Song Qinghuan, if I can't leave the city today, I, I will
I will drag you to the bottom even to death..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the carriage in Prince Rui's Mansion suddenly scattered in all directions.
Liu Jian came to the carriage with an arrow in his arms, looked at Yao Yuechan with disdain, and sneered: "On you? You can do this?"
You said: "Do you think I am a dead person?"
Yao Yuechan never thought that there would be someone following Song Qinghuan, and she was frightened immediately.
But then his heart skipped a beat, he threw the dagger in his hand towards Liu Jian, and stretched out his hand to hug Song Qinghuan.
He opened the hood that covered half of his face with one hand, pointed at Liu Jian and said: "Come here, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. I have nothing now. I am not even afraid of death. Do you think I will be afraid of you?"
?"
She laughed heartily: "Anyway, I will die if I can't escape. It's not a loss if I hold your Princess Rui in front of me before I die."
Liu Jian raised his foot and kicked the dagger thrown by Yao Yuechan far away.
But when he turned around and saw Yao Yuechan's face, he couldn't help but feel sick.
