Old Madam Qi asked the housekeeper to take Chu Yue'an to inspect Qi Yujing's body, but when she ran into Qi Yuzhi, he frowned, looked at Chu Yue'an with an unkind look, and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

The housekeeper replied: "Second Son, it was the old lady who invited Miss Chu Er to come over, the eldest son died suddenly, the cause of death is unknown, the old lady couldn't sleep at night, she only hoped to find out the cause of the eldest son's death, so I asked Miss Chu Er to come over to check the body of the eldest prince and see if there were any other finds." ”

"The imperial doctor didn't find anything, what can she do?" Qi Yuzhi said coldly, "The body of the eldest brother is also something he can touch?" Second Miss Chu, you no longer have anything to do with our Qi State Mansion, and please don't meddle in anything in my Qi State Mansion in the future. ”

Chu Yue'an said lightly: "It's not that I want to interfere, it's the old lady who invited me over, you have to figure this out, besides, you are so preventing me from finding out the cause of death for the eldest prince, could it be that this matter has something to do with you?" Think about it carefully, if something happens to the eldest son, wouldn't you be the biggest beneficiary? ”

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Qi Yuzhi gritted his teeth and cursed, "Chu Yue'an, I know you have a grudge against me, but how can you be so bloody!" Someone, get her out! ”

The housekeeper hurriedly said, "Second son, don't! Miss Chu Er was invited by the old lady......"

"When will it be the second son's turn for you to call the shots?" Chu Yue'an smiled coldly, "I may not be able to find out anything in the end, but at least there are more possibilities to make the eldest prince blind, and the second son, you want to kick me out because of some personal grudges, but are you worthy of the eldest prince's love for you before?" ”

"Okay, you go check it, I'll see what you can see!" Qi Yuzhi shook his hand and sneered.

The housekeeper then continued to take Chu Yue'an to Qi Yujing's room, his body had not been moved, he was still lying on the bed, the body was already stiff, because it was the height of summer, it had begun to have some taste, and his face and expression were very peaceful, as if he was asleep.

Chu Yue'an looked at Qi Yujing's corpse, thinking of that high-spirited young man, he was still a little sad in his heart, this Qi Yujing was a rare upright gentleman, but he was so short-lived, he really shouldn't be.

Chu Yue Anzai took a closer look, there was no sign of poisoning, it was very much like he died suddenly in his sleep, could it really be just an accident?

At this time, a faint fragrance penetrated into his nose, Chu Yuean looked around, only to see a pot of blooming orchids on the table next to the bed, and asked, "This is Jianlan?" ”

"Yes." The housekeeper said, "The eldest prince likes orchids, and this pot of Jianlan is a gift from the second son, so it is placed in the bedroom and watched every day." ”

Chu Yue'an's eyes narrowed, although the orchid had a faint fragrance, the taste of this flower seemed to be more fragrant than ordinary orchids.

She walked in and took a look, her brows furrowed even deeper, she checked the soil in the pot where the orchid was planted, and asked, "Who is taking care of this orchid on weekdays?" ”

The housekeeper didn't know why Miss Chu Er suddenly asked about the orchid, but he patiently replied, "It should be the personal maid of the eldest prince." ”

Chu Yue'an nodded, returned to Qi Yujing's body, checked it again, and said to the housekeeper, "Let's go back and meet the old lady." ”

When the old lady was poisoned last time, it was this Miss Chu Er who personally solved it, the old lady trusted her very much, and the housekeeper also knew that this Miss Chu Er had some real skills, but now I don't know if she found out some reasons, and hurriedly took her back to see the old lady.

The old lady was lying on the hospital bed, and the two maids were waiting, and when she saw Chu Yue'an coming back, she hurriedly sent the maid away, sat up and asked, "Girl, have you found anything?" ”

Chu Yue'an sat in front of the bed, held the old lady's hand, was silent for a while, and said, "According to my speculation, the eldest prince is very likely to die of poisoning. ”

"What!" The old lady's face really changed greatly, "Poisoned? What poison? Why didn't the imperial doctor find out? ”

"I'm just telling the old lady my speculation, but what the truth is, the old lady needs to find out for herself." Chu Yue'an said, "There is a pot of Jianlan in the eldest prince's room, the aroma is more intense than ordinary orchids, I felt strange in my heart at the time, so I checked it recently, in the soil in the pot of breeding orchids, I found a lot of things called Cangjuan, this thing should be mixed in the daily watering water, so in the past, the aroma of orchids is more and more intense, this thing is harmless to the human body, but ......"

"Just what?" The old lady hurriedly asked.

"It's just that last night's Qixi night banquet, everyone gathered in the imperial garden, the queen mother's wine was rewarded with lotus flower wine, this flower wine is fragrant, it is a good wine, but if you drink this wine, and then smell the smell of cangjuan, and the two are mixed with poison, after poisoning, the nerves of the whole body will be paralyzed, the heart will stop beating, as if you died in your sleep, others can not see the signs of poisoning, it can be said that it is killing people invisibly."

"There is still such a thing!" The old lady was furious, "Who wants to murder my grandson!" ”

Then she held her chest again and cried loudly: "My hard-working child, you are buried at the hands of the gangsters at such a young age, how can you let your grandmother live!" ”

Chu Yue'an persuaded her, and after the old lady's mood calmed down a bit, she said: "Old lady, that pot of Jianlan is still in the eldest prince's room, as long as you check from that pot of orchids, you should be able to find out about this matter." ”

The old lady nodded: "What you said makes sense, I can't let my grandson be murdered in vain, I will definitely find out the murderer." Yue'an, thank you today, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid that my grandson would really die in vain. ”

Chu Yue'an admired Qi Yujing's character, so she told the old lady the truth she had ascertained, but there was no need for her to get involved in the internal affairs of the Qi State Mansion, so she appeased the old lady, prescribed a few doses of medicine, and left.

After the old lady waited for her spirit to improve, she ordered someone to invite Qi Guogong, Guogong Lady, the third prince Qi Yuheng, and one of Qi Yu.

Now all the people in the house are sad, and the Duchess of Guo, who was still praying for her mother-in-law in the temple, has also returned, she is quite dissatisfied with her mother's failure to bury the boss well, and she wiped her tears and said: "Mother, I have said that Yu Jing died suddenly, and the weather is hot now, and the child's body is ...... The mother still asked us to put the child in the coffin, bury it as soon as possible, and bury it as soon as possible. ”

Qi Guogong couldn't believe that anyone would dare to murder his child, and said with his fists clenched: "The son knows that his mother is sad because of Yu Jing's death, but it is not a way to keep Yu Jing like this, it is better to bury it as soon as possible." ”

"You two, it's still his biological parents, and the cause of the child's death has not been figured out, so the child will be buried, do you want the murderer to get away with it?" Old Madam Qi scolded hatefully.

"What do you mean by that, Mother?" Qi Guogong hurriedly asked, "Could it be that Yu Jing was really murdered?" ”

The old lady told everyone what Chu Yue'an told her, and when she heard this, Qi Yuzhi's face changed greatly, and she hurriedly said: "Grandmother, this matter must be that Chu Yue'an is talking nonsense, you must be believed that Chu Yue'an, she just hates our Qi State Mansion, and deliberately talks nonsense, just to want our house to be restless." ”

The Duchess also had no good impression of Chu Yue'an, refused to believe her words, and persuaded: "Yes, several imperial doctors have not seen anything poisoned, and she Chu Yue'an can see it, mother must not be provoked by others?" ”

"I'm not old fool yet!" Old Madam Qi snorted, "Provocate? We don't know who the murderer is, how did she provoke it? Besides, even if she is false, I will find out the truth if there is the slightest possibility. Don't be in a hurry to deny her, she was invited by me, so naturally you have the ability. Yuzhi, let me ask you, did you give Jianlan to your eldest brother? ”

Qi Yuzhi knelt on the ground and said, "Yes, but it's not." ”

"Is it or not?" The old lady asked.

"It was the county lord of Minzhi who asked me to transfer it to the eldest brother, a few days ago the county lord was a little rude to the eldest brother, and then she regretted it very much in her heart, knowing that the eldest brother likes orchids, she found a pot of Jianlan and asked me to give it to the eldest brother, which is her apology."

"It turned out to be her!" The old lady's eyes narrowed, "There are so many tricks in the flower wine of the Qixi Night Banquet, if it weren't for the royal people, who would know in advance that the flower wine was made of lotus flowers, and then set up such a plan in advance?" Good intentions and good means, I don't know where my grandson offended her, she actually wants to use such vicious methods! ”

Qi Yuzhi hurriedly said: "Grandmother, this matter may not be hers, she sent her eldest brother Jianlan is just a good intention, maybe it was just an accident?" ”

As he spoke, he caught one of Qi Yujing's personal maids by the housekeeper, and reported: "Old lady, that pot of orchids is usually her servant, and some medicinal powder was also found from her wardrobe. ”

The old lady asked coldly, "What is this medicinal powder for?" ”

The maid didn't know why she was arrested, and hurriedly said: "This medicine powder was given to the slave by the lord of Minzhi County, she told the slave and maid, let the slave and maid take good care of the pot of flowers, that she spent a lot of money to get it, and gave the slave and maid this thing, saying that when watering, this thing is melted into the water, and the orchid can be very good. The slave really doesn't know if this powder can be used! ”

"What else do you have to say right now?" The old lady asked with a pale face, "That slut is planning to kill my grandson!" If Miss Chu hadn't discovered the truth today, my grandson would have really died unknown! So far, do you still want to protect her? ”

Qi Yuzhi's face turned pale and argued: "But...... But she has no reason to kill her eldest brother. ”

"That slut femme fatale, who knows where your eldest brother offended her!" Old Madam Qi scolded, and she looked at her son again, "What are you going to do about this?" ”

Qi Guogong was a little hesitant, poisoning his most beloved son, he naturally hated the murderer, but this Minzhi County Lord was the daughter of King Qi after all, could they really offend?

Qi Guogong didn't dare to say this, but the Duchess of Guo wiped her tears and said: "My son is dead, I, who is a mother, can't wait to go with him, but this Xianluo County Lord is the daughter of King Qi, and he is deeply favored by the Queen Mother, even if we seek justice for our children, we must be hated by King Qi, can we be King Qi's opponent?" The prince is still watching, the second elder still has to take the imperial examination, and the third child's career has just begun, so it can't all be ruined like this! ”

Old Madam Qi looked at Qi Yuheng again and asked, "What do you say?" ”

Qi Yuheng got up, lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt down, arched his hand and said: "Grandmother, there are grandmothers and fathers and mothers in this matter, I am not qualified to speak, since grandmother asked, then I will also tell my thoughts." My eldest brother has always been the most admired person in my mind, and I have always taken my eldest brother as the goal of my life, my first word was taught by my eldest brother, and the first poem I would memorize was also taught by my eldest brother. Although I have just entered the career, I may have a better future, but these are nothing in front of seeking justice for my eldest brother, even if I can't be in politics for the rest of my life, I would rather go back to the countryside to be a teacher and hope that my eldest brother can turn a blind eye, hoping to be able to avenge my eldest brother's grievances. ”

"Where do you have your part in talking!" The Duchess scolded, "Don't stop yet!" ”

The old lady sighed: "This is the good son of our Qi family!" The tragic death of your beloved son, you are indeed looking forward and backward, what kind of parents are you! Do you still want that poisonous woman to be your daughter-in-law? I put this sentence here, as long as I still have a breath, she will not want to enter the door of my Qi family! Yuyuki, on one side is your eldest brother, and on the other side is your fiancée, what do you say? ”

Qi Yuzhi knelt on the ground, eager to shrink himself into a ball, he gritted his teeth, bowed his head and said, "It's all up to grandmother." ”

"Good!" The old lady got up and shouted, "Someone, take out my imperial uniform, I want to beat the drum and complain!" ”

Since the old lady had made a decision, how could the others dare to stop it, and the Duchess of Guo pushed Qi Guogong: "You have something to say!" ”

One of her sons is gone, and she can't watch another son ruined.

"Don't talk about it." Qi Guogong scolded, "It's our flesh and blood who died, even if we compensate the Duke of Qi Guofu, we have to get justice for him!" ”

He glared at Qi Yuzhi on the ground: "Look at the scourge you got back, a Chu Yuezi made the Qi State Mansion lose face, and another Min Zhi even took your eldest brother's life, how can you be worthy of the Qi State Mansion!" ”

Qi Yuzhi's head was buckled on the ground, his whole body was trembling, and he really didn't have the face to see his parents.

"What does it have to do with Goyuki!" Duchess Guo scolded, "The most uncomfortable thing is him right now, and you still accuse him, do you want to force this son of ours to death?" ”

She glanced at Qi Yuheng who was kneeling on the ground hatefully, gritted her teeth and said, "Do you think that my two sons have an accident, and you can fly on the branches?" You dream! As long as I'm here, you don't want to think about it! ”

Qi Yuheng hugged his fists and said: "Mother, I have never thought about those things, right now I just want to avenge my eldest brother, I didn't think about it so much, I just didn't expect that after experiencing the pain of losing a child, my mother can still think so far, which makes people have to admire!" ”

Saying that, Qi Yuheng got up and caught up with his grandmother's footsteps, and he wanted to go with the old lady to sue the royal court.

"What is this?" The Duchess sat on the ground, "Why am I so unlucky, I finally raised two children, I thought I could enjoy Qingfu, but I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, and I didn't let people live!" Take your mother with you, my son. ”

Qi Guogong glanced at his wife with annoyance: "If you don't want to seek justice for your son, just stay in the house, don't go anywhere, don't say anything, just wait!" ”

With that, Qi Guogong also left.

The Duchess of Qi helped Qi Yuzhi up, hugged her son and cried: "How are we going to live!" ”

Qi Yuzhi wiped the sweat on his forehead, now his face was pale, and his heart was depressed, so he naturally comforted his mother flawlessly, called the maid to help his mother to the room to rest, he rolled his eyes a few times, thought about it, and sent someone to report to the county lord of Minzhi.

On the other side, Qi Yuheng helped the old lady and persuaded: "I know that grandmother must be angry at this time, but please take care of your body, don't hurt your body because of anger, the other party is the county lord, the status is noble, this matter can not be concluded for a while, it may drag on for a long time, grandmother must take care of her body, so that she can consume it, and watch the eldest brother sink her grievances." ”

"Don't worry." The old lady said, "I won't have an accident until I get justice for your eldest brother." My old bones are still tough, and I will have to consume them with them! ”

"We still have a good chance of winning in this matter." Qi Yuheng thought for a while and said, "Previously, the county lord of Xianluo offended the eldest princess because of the matter of five food dispersions, what the temper of the eldest princess was, grandmother also knew, if the eldest princess knew about it, she would definitely not let the county lord of Xianluo escape." ”

The old lady nodded: "You're right, the eldest princess will report it, since this matter has hit her hand, she will definitely take action." It's just that I don't understand, that slut has no grievances with your eldest brother, why should he attack your eldest brother! ”

"This person is only afraid to ask the Xianluo County Lord himself." Qi Yuheng persuaded, "I believe that Your Majesty will give our Ninghou Mansion justice." ”
