Chapter 274 Overt and Covert Struggles (Part 2)
-
Looking at his gleaming white bone hands playing the guqin, Song Weichen was horrified.
What did Qin Xueying say just now?
She said she "sees herself" when the piano sounds three times. Could it be that she has already...she has? !
"Dang!"
I panicked, the strings were plucked, my fingers were cut by the broken strings, and red blood dripped down my fingers on the guqin, tick tock! Seeing skin and flesh growing out of white bones; tick tock! Seeing that the flesh and blood returned to color, everything returned to its original state.
"This...what is going on?"
Song Weichen looked at his hand and was stunned for a moment.
.
"Ah, my sister is injured, Banxia!"
Qin Xueying hurriedly summoned Banxia to get the Jinsou Hemostatic Cream, while she carefully picked up Song Weichen's finger to check the injury, her words and deeds full of concern.
"How come you have a pair of green and white jade hands, and they were injured like this after sitting here for a while. It's my sister's fault."
"A small injury is nothing, long-term Princess, please don’t blame yourself.”
At this time, Banxia had already taken the hemostatic bag and rushed back. She carefully applied a light grass green ointment on Song Weichen’s fingers. It was cool and transparent, and the bleeding stopped immediately.
Then he carefully bandaged the wound with fine gauze before leaving. The whole process was extremely careful and gentle, completely different from the mean appearance outside the palace.
Song Weichen looked at his fingers and remembered the appearance of the withered bones just now. He hesitated and couldn't help but speak.
"Elder Princess, may I ask... have you played the piano before, or have you seen any strange phenomena?"
Qin Xueying looked at her seriously and did not answer directly. , but put his hand on the strings and played with it. Song Weichen instantly felt an awe-inspiring aura passing through his body, purifying his insides.
“The heavens and the earth are vastly different, and the world is an infinite place of creation. You and I are as insignificant as the number of sands in the Ganges River. But one sand of sand is one world. From another perspective, you and I are the heaven and the earth, and you and I are all living beings.”
< br>
"The first sound of the guqin allows people to see the heaven and the earth and the greater self."
After saying that, Qin Xueying swept her hand on the guqin. As the sound played, she became Song Weichen's again. The appearance is exactly the same, even the freshly bandaged wounds on their hands.
Song Weichen was secretly panicking, but she saw that the people in front of her had changed again. At first, they were familiar faces to her: Ruan Mianmian, Zhuang Yuheng, Mo Tingfeng... Gradually they began to turn into other unknown people, including men, women, old and young. , it was not until the aftertaste of the second piano sound completely disappeared that Qin Xueying completely returned to her own appearance.
“Already aware of the vastness of the universe, I still feel pity for the green grass and trees. This second sound of the piano makes people see the rolling dust of the world, the ups and downs of all living beings, and makes people no longer attached to themselves.”
… …
"Sister Sangpu, the vision you saw just now was to see the heaven and earth and all living beings, and this third sound..."
Qin Xueying raised her hand again, but did not drop it for a long time. , and finally just placed it lightly on the strings without playing with them.
"When you played just now, as soon as the third note came, I saw the scorpion beast that hurt me during the spring hunting - you, sister Sangpu, you became the one who hurt me. That 癙癙, sitting in front of me playing the harp."
"The so-called seeing yourself after three tones actually means letting people 'see' your own inner demons, that is, the fear and resentment deep in your heart. Yes. Only by facing its existence can we get rid of it. "
"'Confusion' is actually a magic instrument, and everyone will see different things after the third tone sounds. They are the same, the only thing they have in common is that what they see must be something that scares and worries you recently.”
After Qin Xueying said this, she leaned closer to Song Weichen and stared intently into her eyes.
“I wonder what my sister saw just now, so she was so horrified?”
Listening to Qin Xueying’s explanation in such detail and candor, Song Weichen felt that there was no need to conceal what he saw, so he It became a vision of withered bones and revealed everything.
"Maybe it's because I'm afraid of death." She laughed at herself.
Qin Xueying smiled, took her injured hand and patted it gently, as if to comfort her.
"Maybe it was because of the accident that happened to the maid yesterday that scared my sister. My sister is blessed with good fortune and is favored by Lord Si Chen, so I should be relaxed about everything."
......
Ruan Mianmian was clearly deliberately provoking, but she saw that Qin Xueying was not jealous, but was so close to Song Weichen, so she became even more unwilling. When she saw the maid she brought with her carrying the brewed tea, she got up and took the tea tray. , walked to the two of them, chose a corner of the desk, sat down, and poured tea for them.
"The eldest princess is talking about Sister Sangpu. It seems that she has completely forgotten that I am a sister. I could hear the music just now. Why don't you see any words of concern for me? Do you see any scary things?"< br>
Qin Xueying did not answer after hearing this, but leisurely took the tea cup Ruan Mianmian handed her and sipped it with a smile. However, Song Weichen couldn't help but wonder, what did Lao Longjing see?
"May I ask what vision Miss Mianmian saw?"
Ruan Mianmian sighed, picked up the tea cup and covered her face with her sleeves to sip, but in fact she was hiding her uncontrollable smile.
“It’s so funny to break the magic piano and see myself.”
Ruan Mianmian thought to herself that what she saw was “what she feared in her heart”, it was clearly “what she was afraid of” want".
At that time, the third sound of the piano sounded, and the vision Ruan Mianmian saw was that Song Weichen was lying on the ground, half-held in the arms of a man whose face was blurry and could not be seen clearly. She was dressed in white clothes. The blood has long since expired.
"It would be better if I died, a good death!"
Ruan Mianmian raised the corner of her mouth and almost couldn't suppress her laughter. It took a lifetime of acting skills to hold it back, and she changed to a look of resentment. .
"I... saw that dead girl Magpie lingering in the ghost market. What a bad luck! Am I still afraid of her?"
Hearing her suddenly mention Magpie, Song Weichen's heart For a moment, this old Turtle Dove must have defeated her - ever since she met this pair of masters and servants, she has been in constant disasters and disasters. She has narrowly escaped death in the ghost market, and Fan Lou has been reborn towards death. If we talk about inner demons, I'm afraid she should be the magpie. Song Weichen's inner demon.
But if Magpie has given a small amount of sincerity to anyone in her life, that person can only be Ruan Mianmian. Ruan Mianmian cannot escape the blame for the situation and fate she ended up in.
But now, when it comes to magpies, apart from being unlucky, Lao Longjing feels nothing but regret.
It seems that no matter whether they are personal maids or not, whether they have been together since childhood, in the final analysis, they are the same as Xiao Yu, a despicable "unimportant person".
...Song Weichen didn't say anything. Unexpectedly, Qin Xueying didn't agree to comfort him. The atmosphere was awkward for a while. Ruan Mianmian asked for trouble and quickly changed the topic.
“Oh, let’s not talk about this anymore. I have a good herbal tea here that clears away heat and regulates qi. It makes your whole body refreshed after drinking it. Sister Sangpu, please try it!”
< br>
Song Weichen didn't believe Ruan Mianmian and was afraid that there was something fishy in the tea, but seeing that Qin Xueying also drank it, she didn't dare to make a mistake in front of the eldest princess, so she drank it with confidence.
Ruan Mianmian was enthusiastic. While he was running out of things to talk about, he kept refilling Song Weichen's tea. She drank so much that she ran to Xuxuan several times and refused to let her go. Seeing that another hour had passed, Qin Xue Sakura yawned.
"I'm a little tired, so I'll gather here today."
"It seems to be raining these two days. When it's sunny, I'll be the host and go to Sichen Mansion. How about hosting a banquet to appreciate magnolia in the back mountain? I happened to invite Boss Shu from Wangyue Tower to get together. Fortunately, he sent me a lot of precious medicinal materials during my injury, so I was able to recover so quickly."
Qin. Xue Ying once again touched the guqin with her hand and "confused the heart".
"How about we ask Sister Sangpu to perform for everyone then? I don't know what I know. Today you are just trying out your skill, so you only saw the vision. If there is someone who is very good at music and can play a complete song on this piano, it will be broken. The inner demon of the listener."
"I specially brought it here this time, but I have the selfish intention of getting rid of the inner demon."
"The eldest princess said something. Sang Pu will do his best, so I will take my leave today and not disturb your rest."
Song Weichen stood up in a hurry. She felt a dull pain in her lower abdomen, as if her menstruation was coming, and she subconsciously covered it. He bowed to Qin Xueying with his belly raised and hurriedly walked out of the hall.
Looking at her reaction, the smile in Ruan Mianmian's eyes became even greater. She had given Song Weichen a lot of good drinks just now... Tsk, they were all expensive things. They really made this little bitch cheap.
.
After Song Weichen left, Qin Xueying picked up the tea cup with a half-smile, sniffed it, took a sip and put it down again.
“Sister Mianmian, are you too harsh?”
“Sister Xueying, I don’t understand what you are talking about.”
Ruan Mianmianyi The face looks innocent.
"Don't understand?"
"Although I am not as familiar with pharmacology and medicinal properties as Master Sikong, I have smelled the smell of some herbs many times since I was a child among my father's uncle's wives and concubines, and it feels like a familiar closeness. Feeling.”
“If I’m not mistaken, my sister’s herbal tea contains saffron, light bamboo leaves, five elements grass, cinnamon twigs... and musk, right?”
“If I’m right? Gong remembers it right, these medicinal materials can cause abortion at the least, and can never conceive children at worst, sister, right?”
…
Although Ruan Mianmian was seen through, she was not frightened at all. She smiled and reached out to touch her abdomen, where she was injured by the man in black in the ghost market.
“Speaking of which, Sister Xueying’s ointment is really good. I feel so good after asking for some of it from Banxia for my old wounds. No wonder it can stop the bleeding on Sister Sang Pu’s hand. Quick. "
"If I'm not mistaken, this ointment is made from the best 'Wangbuliuxing' in the upper world, right? This is the holy medicine for stopping bleeding and relieving pain. My sister is not very knowledgeable, so I vaguely remember it. What is the other effect? "
Ruan Mianmian pretended to think, deliberately not noticing that Qin Xueying's face was already unhappy.
"Oh, I remembered it, look at my brain. Wang Buliuxing also has the power of 'three Tongs', that is, to stimulate breasts, stimulate menstruation, and regulate lymphoma. If a pregnant person applies this The medicine may cause miscarriage, but fortunately, none of our sisters are married yet, let alone pregnant, so it’s okay not to mention this effect.”
"But judging from the color of the ointment, it seems that it is not just Wang Buliuxing. I have learned some medical skills from my cousin since I was a child. After distinguishing the color and smelling it, I feel that oleander is added to the ointment. This medicine is naturally excellent for analgesia. Yes, but it can also lead to tire slips, don’t you think so, sister?”
After Ruan Mianmian finished speaking, she looked at Qin Xueying with a sleepy expression.
The two looked at each other, and for a moment they both laughed loudly, their branches trembling with laughter. They each covered their faces with their sleeves - if anyone else saw it, they would only admire the intimacy and harmony.
After laughing enough, Ruan Mianmian stood up and bowed to Qin Xueying,
"Sister, the elder sister comes first in my heart, and this love can be learned from heaven and earth!"
Qin Xueying hurriedly stood up and helped her, "You and I have been like sisters since we were young, so there is no need to say more."
...
After another round of falsehoods, Ruan Mianmian excused herself and turned around with eyes. She instantly became as cold as ice, exactly the same as Qin Xueying's expression when she looked at her back from behind.
“It’s just a man,” Qin Xueying thought to herself as she looked at her back.
She has no feelings for Mo Tingfeng in her heart, and her father’s intention to come to the house this time is her father’s intention. However, she can’t say why at this moment, but she is determined to fight - not that she is in love with Mo Tingfeng, but Aroused the desire to win between women.
Ultimately, it was just that she couldn't stand Ruan Mianmian's behavior, and she didn't want to lose to a civilian piano player in front of her father.
.
Song Weichen had her menstruation before she even reached Tingfeng Mansion. Different from usual, this time not only was her lower abdomen swollen like lead, but her flow was astonishing, and she looked like he was bleeding. potential.
Fortunately, she met Guyu - she was worried about Song Weichen and had been waiting near the entrance of the house. When she saw someone approaching from a distance, she hurried to greet him. When she saw Song Weichen's face turned pale, she was secretly surprised and hurriedly waited for him to return. Mansion.
First she took a bath with medicinal herbs for regulating menstruation, then she cooked Tang Pozi to warm her belly, and she boiled brown sugar, red dates, ginger and tea eggs to replenish her blood and dispel the cold. It was not until the sky darkened that Song Weichen recovered slightly.
Ding Heran arrived just after he had calmed down a bit. He found out the information Song Weichen needed -
On the day of the incident, there was only one person who did not register to leave the house but to register to enter the house. It was Ruan Mianmian's current personal maid Du Juan. .
However, she was sent back by a waiter at a medical clinic on Water Street. It was said that her hands, knees and legs were stabbed with multiple sharp objects. The wound infection caused febrile convulsions before she was sent out for treatment. Therefore, at that time There is no record of leaving the house, and the registration was made only after he regained consciousness when he returned home - the reason is reasonable and nothing unusual.
"No wonder I didn't see her in the Lord's Mansion today..." Song Weichen muttered in his heart.
She recalled Dujuan's appearance when she picked her up yesterday, her staggering steps and swollen hands under her sleeves - what exactly happened to her?
If Du Juan was injured like this, why didn't Ruan Mianmian ask the doctor at Sichen Mansion Medical Center to diagnose and treat her, but instead sent her out of the mansion for consultation?
Song Weichen's expression became more and more solemn.
Thinking about it carefully, why did Ruan Mianmian intentionally interrupt her when she mentioned the murder case today, and why did he tell the story of the incident in such a normal way?
What is she trying to hide?
... Could it be that I misjudged Ruan Mianmian as a major suspect in Xiao Yu's case? !
