The arms agent concubine takes the RV to raise a baby
Chapter 38: Being fed medicine
Under the guidance of Qingxing and Hongmei, she walked to the front yard and went straight to the room of Master Shuixin, but was supported by Qingxing: "Miss, please get in the sedan chair." The distance of the young lady made her dare not get too close. Everything will be fine when she returns to the mansion. The young lady will always remember.
"Get in the sedan?" Hua Xiyu was a little confused. What did the sedan chair mean in a few steps? She looked at Qingxing and then at Hongmei. The maid lowered her head and didn't even look at her.
She looked around vigilantly. There were several men, who judging by their attire should be servants, waiting to carry the sedan chair. There were also several sedan chairs parked in front of the door at the same time. She thought, perhaps they were going to other places.
"Miss, the Prime Minister is here to take you home. We will set off now." Qingxing looked happy, and it was obvious that she was genuinely happy.
"Go home?" Hua Xiyu paused in his heart, "Really? That's great."
Seeing that she did not resist, Master Shui Xin felt relieved. Suddenly she thought of something, walked back into the house, and hurried back to hand over Hua Xiyu's backpack. Hongmei took it obediently and said, "Thank you, Master."
Seeing Hua Xiyu's excited face, Qingxing was even happier. She helped her get into the sedan chair. The sedan chair was narrow and could only accommodate one person. Qingxing and Hongmei walked on both sides of the sedan chair. A sedan bearer lifted the sedan chair from the front and back. The sedan chair swayed all the way, and Hua Xiyu fell asleep again in a daze.
When she woke up again, it was already dark. She lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and found that the bearers had been replaced. The group was walking at night with torches. Although the light was not very bright, it was not a problem for them to walk. Qingxing and Hongmei were obviously exhausted, but they were still walking mechanically. The rebellious period of middle school students is when they try every means to go against their parents. But why are they so well-behaved, obedient and hardworking?
When they reached the foot of the mountain, the sedan chair was replaced by a horse-drawn carriage. The carriage was very spacious, so Qingxing and Hongmei finally didn't have to walk anymore. Besides, the carriage was moving very fast, and the little girls couldn't keep up with it.
"Do you two know where we are going?" She looked at the two girls sitting next to her, not sure if they were really going home.
"Go back home, Miss," Hongmei answered innocently with her big, severely underdeveloped eyes flashing.
"Go back home? Wasn't it going home? How come it became going back home again?" Hua Xiyu felt like he was hit by a stick again, and he was completely lost again.
"Go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion." Qingxing looked sad. Has the young lady really become stupid? She carefully poured tea for the young lady.
"Where is the Prime Minister's Mansion?" she asked.
"..." The two maids lowered their heads at the same time. They really didn't know how to answer this question.
Where is the Prime Minister's Mansion? What kind of question is this? Isn't the Prime Minister's Mansion right there? Where else can it be?
"I'm hungry. Is there anything to eat?" Forget it. Let's just wait and see. Seeing that the two girls didn't answer, she didn't ask anymore. She had to eat first anyway.
When Qingxing heard her say she was hungry, she lifted the carriage curtain and said to the coachman in front: "Miss is hungry. Ask Butler Xu if she can take a rest."
Soon, the leading carriage stopped, and the man in the carriage waved his hand and said authoritatively to everyone: "Let's camp here tonight and continue our journey tomorrow."
Soon someone set up the tent and Hua Xiyu was asked to get off the carriage. The headgear was heavy and prickly, making her very uncomfortable, so she took off the tiara. In the eyes of the servants, her dishevelled appearance, especially her eye-catching short hair, was unbelievable, but no one showed it. No one was surprised or thought it was inappropriate. Everyone just pretended not to see it.
She walked through the camp nonchalantly. Two little guys were lighting a fire to prepare a meal. Hua Xiyu lowered her head and wanted to give them some instructions. One of them turned his head and looked at her: "Miss, do you need help?"
"Oh, it's okay, you guys continue," she said embarrassedly, then got up and went somewhere else. Then she heard a voice behind her: "You are so stupid, no wonder you were abandoned by the master."
Of course she knew that she, Hua Xiyu, was being talked about, but... well, I don’t remember anything anyway.
She continued to go somewhere else. Everyone avoided her and didn't talk to her. She looked here and there, talked and chatted with everyone, but no one seemed to pay attention to her. They neither dared nor wanted to. Hua Xiyu didn't mind. After walking around, she got a general idea of the situation. There were five carriages, 10 coachmen, 60 guards, 8 maids, two of whom followed her, and the others followed Butler Xu. There were 5 old maids, who were mainly responsible for cooking and other things. The one with a plump look was Butler Xu.
After dinner, they cleaned up and everyone rested in their places. The men either leaned against trees or slept together. The women pulled a curtain to separate themselves from the men, spread some dry straw on the ground, and slept there. As the eldest daughter of Washington, she was treated the best and slept in the carriage. Qingxing and Hongmei slept on the shafts of the carriage on both sides.
Nothing happened that night. The next morning, there was still porridge and bread. Hua Xiyu ate some and the group continued on their journey.
She didn't know where her so-called home was, or where the Prime Minister's Mansion was. She just found it very strange why they didn't just go through the town and stay in a hotel instead of camping. After a night's rest, her mind was particularly clear. She remembered what Hongmei had mentioned yesterday about the Prime Minister's Mansion in Washington, and that they called her Miss. Maybe they had recognized the wrong person. It couldn't be that they were really their family members.
The group traveled during the day and slept at night, taking the less traveled paths as much as possible. They stopped their sedan chair early on the third night to camp. The guards and two maids who were accompanying them were obviously cheerful and excited. They talked more and their expressions became more relaxed, not as serious as before. Hua Xiyu had a premonition that they were almost at the end, so he also became happy.
At the front of the team, Butler Xu dissolved the medicine packet in his hand into a glass of water. They would return to Huicheng tomorrow. According to Prime Minister Hua's instructions, he gave the young lady these things to make her forget what happened before. This was for the young lady's good. He was just a servant, doing things according to his master's instructions. Besides, it would not take the young lady's life, so nothing would go wrong. But he didn't know that this medicine packet had been replaced by Mrs. Hua Liang with a sterilizing drug.
Butler Xu hid the cup of water in his sleeve and walked towards the young lady's carriage with a normal expression.
On the other side of the carriage, Hongmei was also hesitating with a medicine bag in her hand. The fourth lady threatened her with the lives of her mother, brother, sister-in-law and nephew. She didn't want to hurt anyone. She had never met the eldest lady and had no grudge against her. She didn't want to do it, but the fourth lady said that the medicine would not take anyone's life, it would just make her more obedient. It was said that the eldest lady used to be arrogant and domineering, and looked down on everyone. It would be good if the eldest lady became more obedient so that everyone would be quiet.
Butler Xu saw the tray and the cup on the tray from a distance. He walked slowly closer and naturally replaced the cup on the tray. No matter what, this was harming someone, and he still felt a little uneasy.
Although it was the prime minister's order, and although the silly young lady had no one to rely on and no one to support her, there would not be any unbearable consequences even if she was allowed to drink it openly, but she still felt uneasy. It was not a glorious thing to harm someone and be caught on the spot.
Hearing footsteps, Hongmei turned her head guiltily, and seeing it was Butler Xu, she hurried forward to greet him. Butler Xu asked about the young lady's condition and reminded her of some precautions before leaving. Looking at Butler Xu's back, Hongmei made up her mind and poured all the medicine powder into the cup. As the saying goes, if a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. It was worth it to exchange the young lady's obedience for the lives of her family.
Hua Xiyu and Qingxing walked back to the carriage and saw Hongmei coming over with a tray. She helped the young lady wash up and go to bed. She handed her a tea-colored mouthwash and said, "Young lady, rinse your mouth."
Qingxing got into the carriage and put a few wild flowers in her hand into a vase. Seeing Hongmei's nervous expression, she was quite dissatisfied. She hurriedly put down the wild flowers, took the tray from Hongmei's hand and put it aside, "Let me do it," and then skillfully helped the young lady roll up her sleeves.
Hua Xiyu didn't care. He took the water and rinsed his mouth. The water was a little bitter and astringent. This was actually an oral cleanser, which was used to wash away food residues and odors in the mouth after meals. The mouth felt extremely uncomfortable after rinsing. In this era without toothpaste and toothbrushes, this was a very good method.
Hua Xiyu swirled her tongue in her mouth, trying to ease the discomfort. Hongmei handed her a glass of water in time. She took a sip and suddenly her expression froze. The water was mixed with drugs that affect the central nervous system and destroy reproductive function. However, these drugs were extracted from herbs and due to technical limitations, the purity was not high. Taking large amounts could easily cause amnesia or dementia.
She glanced at Hongmei casually, rinsed her mouth silently, then drank the rest of the water in one gulp. While wiping her mouth, she spit all the water into her palm. The water flowed down her arm and was soon covered by her sleeve.
To be honest, this wide robe and big sleeves does have its advantages. At least this action was not noticed by anyone.
Someone wants to harm me, why? Hua Xiyu thought over and over again about what happened in the past few days. Whenever someone kills someone, it is either for revenge, for love, or for profit.
Grandma's feet. I already have amnesia, and some people are worried about me and want to turn me into an idiot and infertile. A stupid woman who can't give birth is a joke.
This is so damn cruel. It's really cutting off the financial support for an unmarried woman. Who the hell did I offend?
Could it be that someone had drugged me before and that's why I lost my memory? Who was it? Master Shui Xin? Or someone else? I'm totally confused now and can only take things one step at a time.
After watching her finish drinking the water, Hongmei went to fetch water for washing her face tremblingly, while Qingxing unconsciously made the bedding for the young lady in the carriage.
Butler Xu, who was hiding not far away, watched the young lady finish drinking the water before leaving with peace of mind.
Along the way, everyone treated her like a fool. No one paid attention to her strange behavior. No one was curious or thought anything she did was out of line. Qingxing and Hongmei had to dress her up every day, but it didn't last long. Hua Xiyu would take off her crown because it was too heavy and uncomfortable.
She was always extremely careful and didn't dare to sleep too deeply. In the middle of the night, she really heard a noise. Someone was quietly approaching the carriage where she was resting. Immediately, every nerve in her body tensed up as if she had been injected with chicken blood. She knew that the person was not friendly. She lay motionless pretending to be asleep. She had no weapons at hand and faced the enemy with bare hands. She didn't know how likely she was to win.
The man had already approached the carriage, lifted the curtain, and a tube was inserted, and a puff of smoke blew in. She sniffed it and it should be a kind of Mongolian and Han medicine or soft muscle powder, which would make people lose strength and become drowsy and sleepy after inhaling it. She quickly held her breath and pretended to sleep to see what they were going to do.
After a while, the person blowing the smoke thought that she had fallen asleep completely, so he stuck his head into the car and called out softly twice, "Miss, Miss."
This voice, "turned out to be Butler Xu", Hua Xiyu was a little confused. Since Butler Xu was ordered to take her home, why did he want to harm her? Could it be that her father had entrusted the wrong person?
Fortunately, when Butler Xu saw that no one answered, he thought the smoke had taken effect and left.
When she woke up in the morning, she felt a little dizzy. She had inhaled some of the smoke from last night. She couldn't stop breathing for a few minutes. Fortunately, it was not serious. She simply pretended to be poisoned by smoke, acting like she had no strength in her body, didn't want to move, and just wanted to sleep.
How could a family like this be a home? It was clearly a den of wolves. Even if she wanted to escape now, she didn't have the strength. She concealed her uneasiness and asked Qingxing to help her comb her hair and put on her clothes as if nothing had happened.
The space in the carriage is quite spacious, and there are storage compartments around the car, which contain emergency items, including spare clothes.
Hongmei brought some water for the young lady to rinse her mouth, and then a glass of water. She tried it and found that some muscle softening powder was added to the water. She guessed that they were just afraid that she would run away. She glanced at Hongmei and pretended to drink the water obediently.
Even if it is a dangerous place, she will go and give it a try. If she does not eliminate this hidden danger from the root, she will not be able to gain a foothold in the Kingdom of Nanyue.
