Chapter 36: There is a pit in front of me and I am forced to jump

Pei Zonghao and Mu Feng Mingyue took a sedan chair together, set off from the palace, and came to the General's Mansion after a while.

At the door, Chen Renjie and the general's wife had been here to greet them for a long time, and when they saw Mu Feng Mingyue's sedan chair arriving, Chen Renjie happily stepped forward to pick up the car.

"Greetings to Her Royal Highness Princess!" the subordinates of the General's Mansion knelt down to greet him, while the General's wife only bowed slightly.

After Mu Feng Mingyue stepped out of the sedan chair, Pei Zonghao also followed.

Seeing Pei Zonghao and Mu Feng Mingyue riding in the same sedan chair, a strange glimmer flashed in Chen Renjie's eyes, this glimmer was undetectable, but Pei Zonghao really saw it.

"Her Royal Highness the princess came to visit my father in person, and the people were not careful. ”

"Big brother, why are you still polite? I really don't feel comfortable with this crepe look. ”

After Pei Zonghao got out of the sedan chair, he saluted Chen Renjie slightly, "Big brother." ”

Afterwards, Pei Zonghao looked at a beautiful woman with luxurious makeup and good looks beside Chen Renjie, and bowed gently.

"Presumably this is Sanniang, and my nephew is reasonable. ”

"The concubine has seen His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Seeing Pei Zonghao appear, the subordinates of the General's Mansion knelt down again.

"Second brother, you're here too. Let's go in and talk again. Chen Renjie took Pei Zonghao and Mu Feng Mingyue's hands, and invited Pei Zonghao and Mu Feng Mingyue to enter the mansion without changing his face.

Several people came to Chen Chu's bedroom, Mu Feng Mingyue walked to Chen Chu's bed and sat down, looking at Chen Chu, who was seriously injured and had a bloodless face, Mu Feng Mingyue reached out and grabbed Chen Chu's hand, tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, "Third uncle, wake up." ”

"Princess, my father is too badly injured to wake up for a while. Chen Renjie said in a depressed tone on the side.

"Will the third uncle's life be in danger?" Mu Feng Mingyue turned to Chen Renjie and asked.

"No, there is a pill from Shenxiao Palace to extend my father's life, the doctor said, I will raise it for a while, and it will be better slowly." ”

"Oh, that's good. Mu Feng Mingyue stretched out her hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Young master, the elixir taken by the lady has run out, and I sent someone to Shenxiao Palace to get the medicine before, but I haven't come back yet. ”

The old slave was worried that if the time dragged on for too long, it would affect the general's injuries. At this time, Wang Lai walked in from outside the door, with an anxious look, and said to Chen Renjie.

"Then Elder Wang, why don't you go on a trip yourself and get the pill back?" When the general's wife heard this, her face became anxious.

"I think that's all there is to it. Wang Lao nodded his head slightly.

"By the way, second brother, don't you have the healing elixir that your master gave you?"

"Why don't you take it for emergency response first?" At this time, Chen Renjie mentioned the pill that Pei Zonghao was going to take out last night.

"Is there any? Brother Hao'er, why don't you take it out first and give it to the third uncle first. Mu Feng Mingyue, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, opened her mouth and said to Pei Zonghao.

At this time, an ominous premonition welled up in Pei Zonghao's heart, "Strange! The third uncle was injured last night, and no one in the general's mansion has been able to get the pill back until now, there must be fraud in this." ”

Pei Zonghao glanced at Mu Feng Mingyue and his third mother, and thought in his heart, "Now that the princess and the general's wife are here, if I don't take out the pill, it will definitely make them feel bad and make them feel that I am a stingy person, and I will not save them when I die." If this word spreads, his words of condemnation against me in the court will surely be overwhelming. At that time, not only the civil ministers, but even the military attachΓ©s will attack me en masse. ”

"What should I do? Or I said I forgot to bring it?"

"No, people who cultivate immortals, the magic weapons and pills are all put in the Qiankun bag and carried with you. ”

"What the hell is going to do here?"

Pei Zonghao was in a dilemma for a while, the situation in front of him was obviously a pit that Chen Renjie dug for himself, and now he can't jump without jumping.

After a short period of thought, Pei Zonghao still decided to take out the pill and give it to the third uncle himself, and then guard the third uncle today. He didn't believe it, and when the medicine had passed, the pill from Shenxiao Palace would be retrieved, and at that time, this basin of dirty water should not be able to splash himself.

"Princess, come over first, I'll feed the third uncle with medicine. Pei Zonghao took out the vial from the Qiankun bag and said.

When Mu Feng Mingyue heard this, she got up and vacated her position and gave it to Pei Zonghao.

Pei Zonghao took out the pill from the vial, fed it to Chen Chu's mouth, turned his head to Chen Renjie and said, "Big brother, when will the pill from Shenxiao Palace be retrieved?"

Chen Renjie turned his face to Elder Wang and said, "Elder Wang, why don't you go on a trip yourself?"

"Okay, my subordinates will go. Wang Lao turned around and went out to get the medicine.

"Second brother, my father is too injured and needs to rest, or let's go to the back garden and sit down, and the eldest brother will make you a pot of good tea. After Wang Lao left, Chen Renjie said to Pei Zonghao.

Pei Zonghao suddenly felt bad in his heart, and thought in his heart, "Is this really a problem? It seems that my eldest brother really has a lot to do with the matter of the restoration of Great Qin." No, I must not leave at this time. ”

"Big brother, little brother grew up in Yunchuan since he was a child, and he has never met the third uncle for so many years. Yesterday, when I saw it, the third uncle treated me like a parent, and now the third uncle is so seriously injured, I want to accompany him more. ”

"This, well. ”

"Mingyue, what about you, are you here to accompany my father?" Seeing that Pei Zonghao refused to leave, Chen Renjie turned his head to Mu Feng Mingyue and asked.

"I'm here to accompany the third uncle. ”

"Alright then, let's spend more time with my dad here. There was not the slightest change in expression on Chen Renjie's face.

"Woo, woo, woo! poof!" At this moment, Chen Chu on the bed whined a few times, and a mouthful of black blood spurted out.

"Third uncle!"

"Sir!"

"Dad!" the faces of several people in the room suddenly changed.

Countless thoughts flashed in Pei Zonghao's heart, "What's the situation? The medicine was fed by me personally, and it didn't go through other people's hands at all, why is the third uncle still poisoned?"

Chen Renjie rushed to the side of the bed, grabbed Chen Chu's hand, and kept shouting: "Dad, are you okay! Dad!"

"Doctor, please!" Chen Renjie. Shouted.

Mu Feng Mingyue also walked to the side of the bed at this time, looking at Chen Chu at this time, the look in his eyes was very anxious.

And the general's wife also came to the bedside at this time, looking at Chen Chu anxiously.

After a while, the doctor was invited.

"Madam, the general is poisoned. The doctor said after diagnosing Chen Chu.

"Poisoning?" Chen Renjie looked at Pei Zonghao with suspicion in his eyes.

At this time, Chen Renjie's suspicion suddenly made Mu Feng Mingyue look at Pei Zonghao with doubts.

"This, big brother, Mingyue, Sanniang's elixir is indeed given to me by my master, it won't be poisonous. ”

Pei Zonghao took out a vial from the Qiankun bag and said, "I don't believe you guys check!"

Pei Zonghao knew that this matter was purely Chen Renjie's conspiracy, but he didn't expect that he was so cautious that he still fell for it.

Chen Renjie took the vial, opened it and sniffed it, "This still has to be taken for identification first." ”

Pei Zonghao had nothing to say for a while, this matter must have caused a lot of trouble, and if he didn't do it, he would alarm Emperor Mu Feng Tianyang.

The poison in Chen Chu's body can't be solved by the doctor. In the end, Chen Renjie sent someone into the palace to invite Gong Kunpeng, the head of Shenxiao Palace, and Gong Kunpeng fed Chen Chu a few pills after he came, and Chen Chu's condition stabilized.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, is the elixir in this bottle the healing elixir given to you by your master Feng Lingzi's predecessors?" Gong Kunpeng asked Pei Zonghao after he finished treating Chen Chu.

"Yes. ”

Gong Kunpeng took out a pill from a small bottle, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it gently, "This pill is indeed fine, but the poison on the general's body?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you personally fed this medicine to the general?"

Hearing Gong Kunpeng's words, Pei Zonghao thought in his heart at that time, "It's over." ”

But before feeding Chen Chu with medicine, Chen Renjie, Wang Lao, Mu Feng Mingyue and others were all present, and it was impossible to shirk.

"Yes, the medicine was fed to the third uncle by myself. ”

Hearing Pei Zonghao's truthful answer, Gong Kunpeng didn't ask anything more, and said, "Okay, the general won't worry about his life for a while, and I'll go back to the palace first." I will report this matter to Your Majesty truthfully, and how to deal with this matter is still up to Your Majesty to decide. ”

After Gong Kunpeng finished speaking, he left, leaving Pei Zonghao, Chen Renjie, Mu Feng Mingyue and the general's wife in the room.

Chen Renjie always held Chen Chu's hand, and he didn't say a word, Mu Feng Mingyue didn't speak, and the general's wife was also silent at this time.

After a while, Pei Zonghao took the lead in breaking the suffocating silence, "I'll go back to the palace first and wait, there is something strange in today's matter, just wait for the uncle to investigate clearly and return my innocence." ”

After Pei Zonghao finished speaking, he left and returned to his room in the East Palace.

"What the hell is going on? There can't be a problem with my elixir, and there is no way that the healing pills will actually harm each other. ”

Pei Zonghao sat cross-legged on the bed, constantly thinking about every event and every detail that happened today.

Suddenly, Pei Zonghao recalled in his mind that he was in front of the General's Mansion in the morning, "Second brother, you are here too." Let's go in and talk again. After Chen Renjie finished speaking, he took Pei Zonghao's hand. ”

Pei Zonghao slowly stretched out his right hand, thinking in his heart, "Could it be that he did it on this hand?"

Randomly, Pei Zonghao ordered someone to fetch a little water, put his hand in the basin, and scrubbed vigorously.

After washing his hands, Pei Zonghao took out a silver ingot from the Qiankun bag and threw the silver into the basin.

Sure enough, the silver in the basin instantly turned black, which proves that the water in the basin is poisonous!

"Okay, you Chen Renjie! In order to trap me! Since you are gambling with your father's life! It's better than a beast!" Pei Zonghao was furious for a while.

"Why did he do this? Is it for Mu Feng Mingyue? Afraid that I will take Mu Feng Mingyue away?"

Pei Zonghao paced back and forth in the room, constantly thinking about the consequences of today's incident.

"Why did Chen Renjie do this? With this incident, it is impossible to bring me down. With Your Majesty's wisdom, it is impossible to believe that I will be poisoned. ”

"What is his intention, just to put a little stain on my prince's reputation?"

As long as Your Majesty doesn't believe it, I can't bear the charge of poisoning, why is this?"

Pei Zonghao pondered in the room alone, but he still couldn't understand why Chen Renjie did this.
