Although she suffered a little, the biggest worry for a while was finally removed, and Song Chen helped her pull the quilt from time to time because of her fever at night, for fear that she would catch a cold again, so intimate, Chu Xue slept very peacefully all night.

Because she was sick, in front of Song Chen last night, Xu Jinhe specially spoke, she had a good rest these days, and she didn't have to go to Danwei Garden to ask for morning before she got sick, so on the second day, she planned to wait for Song Chen to get up and rest by herself.

Song Chen cared about her body, she didn't want her to serve, but she insisted, the man protected her like this, and she was willing to serve herself. But seeing that her body temperature was normal, Song Chen also agreed. To be honest, he also likes her to serve herself, just looking at her in pajamas in the morning with long hair hanging down to dress herself, the busyness of the day seems to have strength.

was slowly cleaning up for the man, and Yan Ling's voice came from the door of the outer room, "Lord Wang, Lord Xing Feng is asking to see you outside the courtyard, and I have been waiting for you for half an hour." ”

"Huh?" Song Chen looked at Chu Xue. Xing Feng is here, probably because the results of yesterday's investigation have been obtained, and since it is a statement for her, she should naturally be asked to listen to it together.

"Call him in." Song Chen commanded.

"Yes." Yan Ling responded.

A moment later, the young, strict black-clad guard entered the courtyard. There was the master's daughter, Xing Feng understood the meaning of Song Chen's "come in", and he stood outside the door very obediently to report, "Lord Wang, the peach blossom pollen did come out of the dishes sent to Wantang Garden in the dining room yesterday, and the rest of the courtyards did not find out because the leftovers had been processed." ”

"Hmm."

Song Chen didn't have any extra words, and motioned for him to continue.

"The people in the dining room said that it was because a cook accidentally mixed the rice noodles used to make peach blossom cakes for several other ladies into the commonly used starch noodles, which caused Mrs. Xue to eat them by mistake."

After waiting for a while, Song Chen said, "This is the end?" What about people? ”

Xing Feng paused, bowed his head and said, "Go back to the prince, that kitchen worker...... I ended it last night. ”

Chu Xue was pausing his buttoned hand, and looked up at Song Chen in surprise.

Song Chen's face was expressionless, as if he hadn't heard that someone in the mansion had died this morning.

"Yesterday's boss was dismissed, and the head of the dining room was fined half a year's money. Let's go down. Song Chen commanded lightly.

"Yes."

Xing Feng exited the courtyard gate.

The room was quiet for a while, and Chu Xue seemed to have forgotten that Song Chen's coat had not been put on, but she was just standing in a trance.

She didn't expect to be able to find out who was behind the scenes completely clearly, after all, she would plan this time, and the main goal was Xu Jinhe's sterilization soup, but she really didn't want people to die like this.

Besides, that kitchen worker must be just a scapegoat, isn't that too cruel?

She was instantly overwhelmed with guilt.

"What's wrong? The king's clothes are not dressed yet, why are you in a daze? Song Chen looked at her with a smile.

She came back to her senses when she heard the sound and stammered: "Lord, yes, someone is dead......

Song Chen has no feelings, "There is more than innocent death." ”

She continued to stammer, "The concubine is just a rash, it will be fine in two or three days, the concubine, I really don't want to cause others to lose their lives!" ”

"Why are you involved?" Song Chen was inexplicable, his voice sank, "A simple errand can make such a mistake, today is peach blossom pollen, tomorrow if arsenic is released. What about the frost? ”

Seeing that her clear eyes were full of surprise and unbearable, he paused for a moment and then softened his voice, "Since you have taken over the errand, you should do your part, since you can't do it well, he is to blame for such an end, this matter has nothing to do with you, don't think about it, just recuperate with peace of mind." ”

She was stunned for a moment before nodding and continuing to dress him.

I almost forgot that he was a prince and had supreme power, especially in his own fiefdom, where he held the power of life and death of countless people. Ten years ago, when he first arrived in Yanzhou, he personally conquered the repeatedly invaded Beihu, and led tens of thousands of elite soldiers to annihilate 50,000 enemies......

As soon as Qiē cleaned up, he hugged her Lou Lou and said goodbye gently, "I'm leaving, I may not be able to come over during the day when I'm busy today, you have a good rest, take your medicine on time, I'll come back early in the evening, and wait for me to have dinner together?" ”

"Hmm." She nodded obediently and smiled softly.

He kissed her on the forehead before leaving the Wantang Garden.

Waiting for Song Chen's figure to disappear outside the courtyard gate, Yanling and Ruyue, who were waiting at the door to greet him, entered the room, and closed the door while waiting for her to freshen up.

"Miss, it's dead!" Yanling whispered and looked at her with Ruyue.

Xing Feng was standing outside the door just now to report, and the two maids who were also waiting outside the door could of course hear it clearly.

And the two of them were equally shocked.

"yes, I heard you." Chu Xue frowned, and replied to her weakly.

"But, the mastermind is definitely not the cook, why would he harm us for no reason? Did the prince believe it like this? That kitchen worker, will he be a little wronged? Yan Ling was quiet and eager.

Ruyue didn't speak, but her eyes were full of confusion at this time.

She sighed, "Everyone is already dead, and we haven't suffered any big losses, Lord Wang...... I guess I don't want to make a big deal out of it. ”

Right now, when he is busy, of course an accident in the backyard will bother him, so I hope that the unscrupulous people can live in peace.

Yan Ling also frowned and nodded, then raised her head again and asked, "But we still don't know who did this." ”

She smiled, "We've just arrived, and it's already good that things have reached this point, besides, now that we are eating and taking care of ourselves, and foreign poisons are not invading, it can be regarded as a problem in my heart." As for the rest...... We can only take our time, and the three of us will have to be more cautious in the future. ”

"Yes." The two maids nodded in unison.

After talking about serious things, the two began to serve her to freshen up, she sat in front of the mirror, while letting them take care of their hair while thinking, don't go to Danwei Garden today to ask for peace, Li Jiaoyun and Xia Wanyin will definitely know about their illness, Xu Jinhe has already been here yesterday, and the two of them will come today, when the time comes, you have to observe these two people carefully, maybe there will be some gains.

I got up early with Song Chen today, and I didn't have to go to ask for peace, so I suddenly had a lot of free time in the morning, and it was only halfway through the hour when I finished breakfast.

Adjust the Jiaowei well, and was caressing a song "Xiang Concubine Resentment", when she heard a childish voice outside the door, she was surprised, it was Song Ning, so she stopped stroking the qin's hand and walked to the door to welcome the little girl.

In the yard, the little girl in the pink shirt followed behind Li Jiaoyun, and came to the house obediently, and as soon as she saw her, she immediately called sweetly: "Auntie......"

She couldn't help but smile and leaned over to greet her, "Ning Ning, come quickly, my aunt misses you." ”

The mother and daughter approached, and Chu Xue gave Li Jiaoyun a salute, "Why is my sister here?" ”

"Get up, please! My sister doesn't have to salute me every time......" Li Jiaoyun hurriedly helped her up and said with concern: "I went to greet the princess this morning, and I heard that my sister was sick, so I brought Ning Ning over to have a look, but is it better?" ”

Chu Xuebian let the two of them into the house and replied, "It's much better today, and it's nothing serious, but I just ate something by mistake yesterday and felt a little uncomfortable." After speaking, he looked at Li Jiaoyun with a smile.

Li Jiaoyun's expression was not unusual, and she still nodded to care for her, "I also heard that the people in this dining room are really careless, we people have thick mouths, and we can't eat it on weekdays, if it weren't for your illness to find out such a person, we don't know what we have eaten!" It's okay to punish you. ”

Chu Xue was stunned, it seems that it should be normal for someone to die in this palace, so that Li Jiaoyun, who has been in the palace for seven or eight years, will not have any waves, and in comparison, he is indeed a little tender.

She looked at Song Ning, remembered something, and said embarrassedly to Li Jiaoyun: "I heard that Ning Ning is weak, I am still sick, my sister brought her here, I am not afraid that I will be sick......"

"What will be the disease of peach blossom ringworm?" Li Jiaoyun smiled and stroked his hand, "I didn't want to bring her here, you are still sick, and I am worried that she will quarrel with you, but as soon as she heard that she came to you, she had to follow me, and now I ask my sister to bear with me!" ”

The two looked at Song Ning in front of them with a smile, and when Song Ning heard the two mention her, she hurriedly looked back, walked over and asked her, "Is my aunt sick?" ”

She nodded, pretending to be very uncomfortable, and looked at the little man in front of her.

The villain frowned and said seriously: "That aunt has to drink the medicine obediently, she will be fine if she drinks the medicine, Ning Ning is very well-behaved and not afraid of hardship!" Aunt should be as brave as Ning Ning. ”

She smiled, "Well, my aunt must learn from Ning Ning, drink medicine seriously, and get better as soon as possible." ”

The little man was very satisfied with her statement, and a small face immediately smiled again.

Looking at the innocent little girl in front of her, Chu Xue felt warm in her eyes, and at the same time felt distressed in her eyes, the little girl was weak, and she was sick at every turn, from birth to now, it has only been more than three years, and half of the days have to drink bitter medicine, and adults can't get through, let alone a child, but this little girl is surprisingly strong, and she never worries her mother when she drinks bitter medicine.

She thought of the little cousin who died early, the real Chu Xue.

She felt very uncomfortable, but she couldn't show it, so she restrained her thoughts and told the maids to pour tea. Xiao Song Ning walked around the house and saw the piano she was stroking just now, so she came over to pester her, "Aunt plays the piano for Ning Ning, Ning Ning wants to hear it." ”

"Ning Ning, your aunt is not feeling well, let her rest well, and you will come over to listen to it another day when your aunt is well, okay?" Li Jiaoyun called her daughter.

"Get out of the way, sister." Chu Xue smiled, "I was playing before you entered the door, since Ning Ning wants to hear it, I'll finish playing the song just now." ”

"Great! I can listen to my aunt play the piano! The little girl cheered.

She came to Jiaowei and sat down again, and Song Ning hurriedly stood on the side seriously.

The sound of the piano was like smoke, and when the song was finished, even the three-year-old girl was quiet. Li Jiaoyun praised with a smile, "My sister's piano skills are really good!" With such a good age, such a good look, and such a good talent, my sister is a little jealous of you, no wonder the prince likes it. ”

Chu Xue sighed in her heart, Li Jiaoyun can say such a thing honestly, will she still use a clumsy way to harm herself?

She blushed, "My sister has won the award, and the class has an axe, and when my sister was in the capital, I heard that my sister's piano also played very well!" ”

Li Jiaoyun was also born in a scholarly family, and naturally she is also a lady who is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and I heard that she also won Song Chen's heart back then.

Li Jiaoyun sighed when she heard this, "That was back then, and I gave birth to Qi'er...... Later, there was Ning Ning, Ning Ning was born weak, I have spent all my thoughts on her in the past few years, how can there be any leisure and elegance to deal with those elegant things? ”

Hearing her mention Song Qi, Chu Xue asked tentatively, "Sister, my sister has always been a little confused in her heart, but she has never dared to speak...... Qi'er was obviously born by you, why should you be raised by the princess's side? Didn't the princess already have two sons herself? ”

This question is actually very normal, usually other people's families will only hold the children of the concubine when there is nothing to do in the main room, and as Chu Xue said, Xu Jinhe had already given birth to two sons before Li Jiaoyun entered the door, and there was no reason to raise Song Qi.

She has actually been very curious about this matter, but because she had just entered the door not long ago, she was not easy to inquire about the palaces on both sides, but today the party mentioned it herself, so she simply asked in person.

As soon as these words came out, Li Jiaoyun was silent for a while, and then sighed: "It's my life is not good, I was originally in a good body, but when I gave birth to Qi'er, I had a difficult birth, and when I finally gave birth, my body was so weak that I was a mess, and I lay on the bed for half a year, and I didn't have the energy to take care of Qi'er. ”

She paused for a while, and then said faintly: "Probably because of that difficult birth, the body fell into the root of the disease, and Ning Ning was also congenitally deficient, and she was born with a weak body......"

Finally figured out a question, but it caused the person concerned to sigh, Chu Xue felt a little guilty, and said apologetically: "Blame my sister for talking too much, making my sister unhappy." ”

"Where can I blame you!" Li Jiaoyun smiled and said calmly: "It's all old things, there's nothing unhappy...... Besides, Qi'er is over there, maybe it's better than bringing it myself. ”

Li Jiaoyun comforted her, but it made her heart even more mixed. She smiled, not knowing what to say.

"Sister," Li Jiaoyun looked around, and saw that there were no outsiders in the house except for her maid and Yanling, and suddenly spoke softly, "You still have to be careful about the things that enter the house in the future, there are many people in the house, and some people don't want you to be good...... It's still your own people who can be trusted! ”

Chu Xue was stunned for a moment, and nodded hurriedly, "Thank you sister for reminding me, I will be more careful in the future." ”

chatted for a while, and played with Song Ning for a while, but for fear of disturbing her rest, Li Jiaoyun's mother and daughter left.

After the person left, Chu Xue thought about it for a long time, and felt that Li Jiaoyun really didn't look like someone who wanted to harm her, just her reminder, isn't it enough to prove it?

And Li Jiaoyun and Xu Jinhe should not be all the way.

For a moment, she thought of the difficult birth that Li Jiaoyun said and the house doctor Liao Zhong, and she had even more doubts in her heart.
