Chapter 5
Xie Qiao huddled in the bridge hole and slept all night. The cold and wind made her barely fall asleep.

At dawn, I squatted by the river to tidy my appearance, and casually held a handful of cleansing noodles.

Touching my hungry stomach, I spent two copper coins to buy a bowl of wontons.Probably the taste is good, the small stalls are full of people, and they are not too particular about sitting with people.

"Have you heard? The Chuxiang Pavilion was killed last night, and it was sealed up early in the morning!" The person next to him whispered: "When the eldest princess died, the Chuxiang Pavilion was fine, but now there are two young ladies who died. Then it was blocked, do you think it is strange?"

The other looked around cautiously, glanced at Xie Qiao, and shouted: "You don't want to die! You dare to gossip about that one!"

When the man heard this, he thought of the methods of Princess Xie, the son of Princess Xie, and he still felt a chill rising from the bottom of his heart while eating the warm wonton, so he shut up immediately.

Xie Qiao's eyelashes were half drooping, and she couldn't help but think in her heart, wasn't the carriage she climbed into last night near the Chuxiang Pavilion?
With a pause, his identity was already known.

It is said that the eldest princess died under the noodles, and most of the noodles in the eldest princess's mansion came from the Chuxiang Pavilion.It is also reasonable for him to settle accounts and kill a few people.

What's more, a vicious and cruel person like him doesn't need a reason to kill someone!
She was almost silenced last night...

Xie Qiao finished eating the wontons in a hurry, got up and left, and the voices of the two came from behind: "But another incident happened in the palace. The queen mother has been seriously ill for several years and has not been cured. The young lady was cured! Her reputation has also risen from this, but unfortunately, the empress dowager's illness has relapsed and become more serious, and early in the morning, someone from the palace invited the eldest lady of the Shangshufu into the palace."

It is said that Xie Qiao is now [-]% sure that the old lady she treats is not the cousin of the Shangshu Mansion at all.With the means of that family, they are simply on the same level as the Fuguo Duke's Mansion, and they value power very much. This great opportunity will definitely not be taken by a wild girl like her.

So I found someone with the same symptoms as the Empress Dowager to treat her, and after the results were effective, I dedicated it to the Empress Dowager?
The corner of Xie Qiao's mouth curled up, revealing a slight smile. After all, they were too eager for quick success!
She was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn't realize that a servant girl not far away stared at her several times, and left in a hurry with a ghostly look on her face.

-

Wei Ruxue was helped out of the sedan chair by Xuerui and Xueqin, her beautiful face turned pale, and she leaned limply on the maid.

She did not expect that in just a few days, it would fall from the clouds to the ground.

He wanted to put all the charges on Xie Qiao, but she was already dead.The emperor's anger will only be vented at the Shangshu Mansion!In order to delay the time, she gritted her teeth and insisted that she would find a way to cure the queen mother in the next day, so that Shang Shufu would have time to offend her.

I regret and hate in my heart, I regret that I shouldn't have cut the weeds and roots so early, I hate that bitch has a hand!
"Come to my study." Wei Yun's face was livid, and he went to the study in a scarlet court dress.

Wei Ruxue's clenched fist loosened and tightened, tightened and loosened again, and dejectedly motioned for the servant girl to help her over.

As soon as the door was closed, Wei Yun said angrily: "You don't want to die? My father gave you winks over and over again, asking you to push the crime to Xie Qiao. At that time, my father will plead guilty to the emperor again and hand over Xie Qiao. But the crime of deceiving the emperor will be punished lightly! Look at you, take this hot potato, if you can't cure the Queen Mother in a day, you will lose your head!"

Wei Ruxue is both talented and beautiful, she has always been Wei Yun's proud daughter, she has never been counted down like this before, she felt embarrassed.

"Father, Xie Qiao doesn't know what is good or bad. My daughter doesn't mind her background and betrothed her to my brother as a concubine, but she refused to want to be his brother's wife. I wanted to deal with her again, but who knew that she ran away overnight, and my daughter was afraid of something. Only then will someone seal it up..." Having said this, Wei Ruxue gritted her teeth in hatred.

This bitch died simply, but it hurt her badly.

"Dead?" Wei Yun looked up at Wei Ruxue.

Wei Ruxue quickly said: "No, no, I didn't kill her, she committed suicide and broke into Prince Xie's carriage."

Wei Yun was silent for a while.

The anger in the study gradually dissipated, and the silence made Wei Ruxue breathless, feeling more and more uneasy.

After all, she was sloppy. If Xie Qiao was really a descendant of Shennong, how could she be so vulgar?

Blinded by eagerness for profit!

Now, it's too late to regret.

"Father……"

Before he could finish speaking, there was a hasty knock on the door.

The father and daughter looked at each other, and Wei Yun said in a deep voice, "Come in."

With an anxious expression on her face, Xuemei came in and knelt on the ground: "Master, Miss, this servant has seen Miss Xie!"

She is also one of Wei Ruxue's confidantes, knowing that Wei Ruxue is going to put Xie Qiao to death, she was frightened when she saw Xie Qiao just now.

"What did you say?" Wei Ruxue asked excitedly.

Wei Yun also stood up.

"I did see Miss Xie, and I thought I was mistaken. After careful identification, I will not admit my mistake!" Xuemei said excitedly: "As long as Miss finds her, the crisis can be resolved!"

"Look for it!"

Wei Ruxue hurriedly resigned and ordered people to find Xieqiao immediately.

-

"Miss Xie, your medical skills are fine, we don't need a female doctor in our clinic." The shopkeeper signaled the drug boy to invite Xie Qiao out.

Xie Qiao stepped out of the clinic, and she hadn't counted the number of times she was rejected. Now that the sun was shining, she felt a little hungry.

In this huge capital city, why is it so difficult to find a job to earn a living?
Just because she is a woman?
She just doesn't believe in evil, and at worst, she can go to the streets as a bell doctor!
Earn food and clothing first, and then think of other ways.

She stroked the floating dust on her clothes, and planned to go up the mountain to gather some herbs in exchange for silver taels, but a few people in front blocked her way.

Xie Qiao frowned, who else but Shang Shufu could make people look for her so much?

"Go to the restaurant and open a table for me. If you have anything to say, wait until I'm full!" Xie Qiao didn't bother to talk nonsense, Wei Ruxue had a request from her right now, so she wasn't afraid of not agreeing.

A few people were stunned, remembering Wei Ruxue's order, the two followed Xie Qiao to the restaurant, and the other two went back to the mansion to report.

Xie Qiao ordered a large table of food, and Wei Ruxue hurried over after eating and drinking.

Looking at the bowls and dishes in the wind and clouds, Liu Ye frowned, and the contempt in her eyes was not concealed.

"Miss Xie, let's talk about a deal." Wei Ruxue sat on the chair dignifiedly, and the moment she saw Xie Qiao, her heart fell instantly.I can't help but sigh in my heart that she is destined to die, or should I die? "You must have understood what happened, so let's open the skylight and speak honestly. It's not easy to live in the capital. With your humble background, even if you have life to save the queen mother, you will not enjoy the honor. You follow me into the palace to see the queen mother, and heal the queen mother." Tell me the way. And I... must thank you very much!"

Xie Qiao sneered: "Why should I believe you?"

"Believe it or not, it's up to you!" Wei Ruxue's eyes showed a hint of viciousness. For this sake, how could she give up the glory that she could easily get?If the queen mother is not cured by then, it will not be too late to push Xie Qiao out to take the blame.

She has already endured the wrath of the emperor and nearly lost her life, so how can she be willing to make wedding dresses for others!
Xie Qiao glanced at the people surrounding her, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up: "I'm dead, the Queen Mother can't be cured, and Miss Wei is on my back, so what's there to be afraid of?"

"you!"

Xie Qiao took the initiative and didn't accept her threats at all: "Miss Wei underestimated me too much? If I escaped from death, I would still put my neck in your hands? You also know that I Whose carriage got into it. Don’t you wonder why King Xie didn’t kill me?” Seeing that the anger on her face subsided, and she looked thoughtful, Xie Qiao said casually: “Miss Wei knows Qihuang’s art, so she must be It is clear that Duke Xie is ill, but I have healed him, so he is still alive."

Before Wei Ruxue could open her mouth, she continued: "I have already written down the details of the matter, so I don't fear that you will be ruthless. If you die, this letter will fall into the hands of Duke Xie. The king of Xie will read it from me. With his kindness, he will be willing to help! At that time, Miss Wei thinks she can escape unscathed?"

Wei Ruxue's expression changed instantly, seeing her agreeing, she said coldly, "You'd better cure the Queen Mother!"

Xie Qiao smiled slightly, but his eyes were cold.Since you want to fly into the sky, I will send you side by side with the sun.
