Hui Zhi accepted the pill, saw the confusion in Jiang Caiqiong's eyes, and comforted her: "Brother and father will investigate these things, senior sister has any hidden worries, just go and tell them tomorrow." ”

Jiang Caiqiong nodded reluctantly, and told her to rest early and leave.

Hui Zhi helped to clean up the pen and ink, and her fingers brushed over a knife of freshly cut paper, but she didn't expect the corners to be too sharp, and she cut her fingers, and a bead of blood immediately oozed out of her fingertips, and she was shocked by the fact that she yelled "ah" next to her.

Hui Zhi's face turned a little pale with shock from the sudden stinging pain of her fingertips, and she only reacted when she came back to her senses, and said with a smile: "It's okay to take some ointment and wipe it." ”

Then he frowned and muttered in a low voice, "I always feel that something is not right." ”

Pei Lan next to her didn't pay much attention, burned incense, put down the tent of the Four Seasons Flower, saw that Xifang had medicine on her fingers, wrapped it in fine silk, and the two went to the outer room.

I had a sleepy dream all night, and when I got up in the morning, I remembered that the people from Pei's Mansion were coming tomorrow. After looking at it, it was nearly two quarters of an hour later than usual, and I immediately got up and changed my clothes, and went to say goodbye to my grandmother and mother. The rainy weather was a little cool, so he went back to the house and put on a plain cloak with silver thread embroidered bird pavilions, and went to the study in the front yard to find his brother Qin Yuan.

Unexpectedly, just out of the inner courtyard gate, walking on the bluestone road, but I met a few people wearing three shuttle cloth straight jackets, tied with various colors of sweat scarves, each with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, red lips and white teeth, hair tied high, eyes and eyebrows hung up, led by a person wearing pink Hangzhou silk straight jacket, tied with stone blue silk. saw Hui Zhi and a few people from a distance, and immediately avoided the road next to him.

Hui Zhi asked Pei Lan, "What is this going to do?"

Pei Lan glanced at it twice and replied: "The second master raised the servant in the courtyard, and the foreign government wants to borrow it to sing a few times." I'm afraid I'm here to report to my wife. Then he looked at the man in pink and whispered: "The person in pink is the good lady who raps at the family banquet in Xiaonian, called red medicine." I heard that the second master also held him up very much, and his food and clothing were very different from others. ”

Hui Zhi was noncommittal, and still went to find Qin Yuan.

Hongyao, who was far away, looked at the direction that Hui Zhi walked in for a long time before following a few people into the garden.

Hui Zhi entered the study, but she didn't expect Pei Gu to be there, she said softly, sat down far away, and then asked with a smile: "I just happened to want to ask Senior Brother Pei, should the taste at tomorrow's banquet be lighter or heavier?" I heard that Mrs. Yang is from the Northland, I'm afraid the taste is heavier, but the light taste of Huainan cuisine has been popular in the capital recently."

After Pei Gu heard what she said, his eyes looked at him seriously, and said, "It's good to be light, my father likes to be light, and she follows her father's taste." ”

Since the tragic death of his biological mother, his father has been eating a vegetarian diet all year round, and Yang doesn't know the past, so he just likes vegetarian food.

Hui Zhi nodded, asked a few more words about the injury, and was about to retire. Qin Yuan asked people to serve tea again, withdrew all the people in the house, and talked about the Su family's spring banquet: "Several princes will also go over." After a pause, he said, "Pei Gu's injuries are mostly healed, let's go over and have a look." ”

The implication is to listen to the news.

Hui Zhi also informed the two of them about Jiang Caiqiong's accusation of poison to her, "Senior Sister Jiang looked very domineering when she talked about the poison, but she thought about it carefully, saying that this medicine is not a poison that kills people in one fell swoop, but will cause people to be insensitive, and their heads are dull - to put it bluntly, if the poison is used too much, I am afraid that people will slowly become stupid." ”

After finishing speaking, Hui Zhi's face changed instantly.

The only royal child I saw that day was obviously only the fourth prince Yu Wenyi! But whether it was the fourth prince or his biological mother Zhou Shufei, these two people have always been far away from the center of the power vortex, and they seem to be tepid, and they are not a big threat to the crown prince or the third prince. It is impossible for the crown prince to go out of his way to stab a person who is not a threat to him, not to mention that the fourth prince secretly ran out of the palace, and his whereabouts are very unknown.

Could it be someone else?

Qin Yuan thought of the woman he saw dressed as a woman in the window.

Pei Gu played with the White Tiger Jade Pendant in his hand, and his voice opened lightly, "I used the White Tiger Guard to find out the banquet in the palace that day, and only the prince sat with him until the end." ”

Both of them looked at him, and Hui Zhi's eyes involuntarily fell on the jade pendant.

"The queen said to the emperor: 'Shangyuan Festival is originally a day for young people to go out to have fun and watch the excitement, why bother to detain them in the palace', so the four princes were able to leave the palace so lightly, and the three princes also left the palace immediately, but they went back early. Only the crown prince has been accompanying the queen, saying, 'The festival is the day of reunion, and the sons and daughters have already married and cannot talk on the same day as in the past', and they also dazzled, and the queen was full of joy. Even the emperor praised the crown prince. ”

I didn't expect Bai Huwei to have such a ability, and he could pass on the words in the palace. No wonder my father was so surprised when he heard that Senior Brother Pei had a white tiger jade pendant in his hand.

Qin Yuan nodded, "In this way, there is a lot of information about the whereabouts of the three princes that day." ”

After hearing a few words, Hui Zhi was about to go back to prepare for the banquet, Pei Gu asked her: "The White Tiger Guard forces are too involved, and the junior sister must not leak half of it." ”

Hui Zhi got up and nodded, "I know that it is powerful, senior brother, don't worry." ”

***

The next day's banquet was enjoyed by the guests and hosts. After sending off the group of Wuwei Houfu, Wang praised Sui Fan and Huizhi, opened the makeup box and picked out jewelry for them, and said: "I can't go to the Spring Banquet in two days." Your second uncle and mother will take you out, and you must be cautious in your words and deeds. The spring banquet is lively, and it is rare to have fun, and the girls of Cheng'an Houfu do not seek to stand out, but only to be safe. ”

When they had answered, they went back to prepare their clothes.

The weather gradually warmed up, and waited until the twenty-first day of the first lunar month, a rare good weather, the sky was clear, and the breeze of early spring still had a cold breath, but the spring flowers in the yard had already bloomed a few sparsely, and the willow branches next to the pond in the house were also faintly budding.

Hui Zhi dressed neatly and went out with Yifang and green sleeves, leaving Pei Lan to look after the house.

On the road, together with the same age, a few people chatted a few words about clothes and patterns, and before they reached the second gate, they ran into the group of servants in the courtyard of the second uncle. The leader is still called Hongyao, wearing a jade-green pine pattern Lu silk straight jacket, tied with silk tape, and a jade pendant hanging from his waist, and the few people behind him are still clean three-shuttle cloth clothes, tied with embroidered sweat scarves.

Seeing Hui Zhi coming, the few people behind them all saluted and avoided it, but Hongyao stepped forward and made a gesture straight to the two girls, and inexplicably turned his head and whispered to Hui Zhi: "There are many people outside the house, and the six girls should be extra careful when they go out." The expression on his face seemed to be smiling, staring at the corners of Huizhi's trimmed skirt, his eyes were particularly subtle.

Xianfang stepped forward and said bluntly: "When I saw the girl, where is your turn to speak here?" It's just that after singing a few plays, I became more and more arrogant. ”

Then he helped Hui Zhi out of the door.

There was still some indignation between the words: "Hongyao has been singing outside the mansion these days, and he was also invited to sing at the Su family's banquet today." It's just that I didn't expect him to be so ignorant. ”

Sui Fan chuckled: "The sixth sister is young and doesn't go out much, so she should pay more attention." He looked back at Hui Zhi again, his eyes were full of urgency, "Hongyao is also good at what he said - caring about his own master should have been." ”

"Isn't the serious master of the red medicine the second uncle?" Hui Zhi smiled lightly, "When you go out, the fourth sister should also be careful." ”

Thinking of last year's Mrs. Grandma's birthday banquet, she snorted lightly, turned her head and ignored her.

As soon as a few people arrived at the gate of the hospital, they saw Mrs. Tuesday walking over with Sui Ping. After a few pleasantries, they each got into the carriage and went to Su's house.

Sui Fan and Hui Zhi in a car, and Mrs. Tuesday took Sui Ping in a car. Because of these unhappy words at the door, Hui Zhi only closed her eyes when she got into the car, and she didn't say a word about it.

The coachman drove well, walked very smoothly in the carriage, and entered the courtyard of the Su family smoothly.
