Yufen saw that all the evidence of everyone now pointed to her, but she really didn't do it, so she shook her head and shouted injustice: "The slave and maid are wronged, the slave and the maid really didn't do it, killing people is to pay for their lives, how dare the slave and the maid!" "But now Xi Hongdou is lying inside, and the bird's nest is indeed poisonous, and she really has a hundred mouths and can't tell!

Seeing this, Master Xiao said: "First lock Yufen in the firewood room, and then send it to the government in a while!" ”

Mrs. Xiao started crying again at this time, even if Yufen killed her head, what could she do, her grandson was gone!

Shao Yulin hurriedly explained: "Auntie, Yulin really doesn't know about this. ”

"Okay, whoever did it knows well, since it wasn't my cousin who did it, my cousin will go back." Xiao Zhi said coldly.

Shao Yulin saw that Xiao Zhi's eyes were now like killing someone, so she said, "Cousin, I really ......" and then was about to cry, Xiao Zhi ignored it, turned his head and went into the room directly.

In the room, Xi Hongdou had woken up, her eyes were staring at the ceiling, and her whole body was still in pain, but before she fell unconscious, she also remembered the scarlet in front of her.

"Red Bean, are you awake?" Xiao Zhi came over.

Xi Hongdou turned his head and asked in a hoarse voice: "I remember that I saw blood, am I ......?" ”

Looking at Xi Hongdou's expression that he wanted to wait for an answer, Xiao Zhi hesitated before saying, "Hongdou, we will have it in the future......

As soon as he heard this, Xi Hongdou's nose was sour, and he began to cry, crying unabashedly, even Mrs. Xiao and Master Xiao outside the door heard the heart-rending cry.

Old Man Xiao was old, he stumbled under his feet, and Mrs. Xiao didn't dare to cry, and the two old men left with their backs haggard to blame themselves.

Xi Hongdou cried for a while, Xiao Zhi hugged Xi Hongdou, no matter what he said now, Xi Hongdou couldn't listen.

Xi Hongdou was indeed afraid of having a child before, but when she came, she was gone. This matter is not only painful, but also guilty, the child that Mrs. Xiao was looking forward to so much was accidentally lost by her.

"It's all because I was careless that I made it like this!" Xi Hongdou said that she thought that she was busy outside all day before she had the fetal gas and failed to save the child.

Xiao Zhi shook his head: "It's not your fault, it's the bowl of bird's nest you ate that is poisonous, that's why you ......."

Xi Hongdou was stunned, bird's nest is poisonous? Then it's no wonder why her stomach hurts so much all of a sudden!

"If bird's nest is poisonous, wouldn't it be ......" Xi Hongdou's first thought was Shao Yulin, but she didn't dare to convict without evidence, after all, who else had touched bird's nest didn't know!

Xiao Zhi said: "Yufen said that she handled it, but she didn't poison it. "Needless to say, who is hostile to Xi Hongdou in the whole house, only Shao Yulin still feels that it can't be counted on her head without evidence.

When Xi Hongdou heard this, it was really Shao Yulin who didn't run, and struggled to get up and went to the ground.

"Red Bean, calm down, you're too weak now!" Xiao Zhi hurriedly stopped Xi Hongdou, Xi Hongdou had just vomited blood and had a miscarriage, and now his body was more fragile than paper.

Xi Hongdou cried and shouted: "I'm going to kill that poisonous woman!" How can that ugly woman still have a face alive! ”

Xiao Zhi pressed Xi Hongdou back to the bed and said, "We will definitely avenge this revenge, but if you can't stand it now, take care of it first, and then we can clean her up as much as we want!" ”

Xi Hongdou cried, his eyes closed, not wanting to see the sun tomorrow.

Xiao Zhi gently exited the door and went directly to the firewood room, Yufen was crying inside, as soon as he pushed the door, Yufen was also scared, it was easy for a big family to kill a maid, even if she was sent to the official, she was also a dead end.

"Young master, I really didn't harm the young grandmother, I was really wronged!" Yufen knelt and begged Xiao Zhi to give her a way out,

Xiao Zhi asked, "I know you didn't do it, Shao Yulin did it." ”

Yufen was stunned for a moment, remembering Shao Yulin's previous actions, and forcing her to send bird's nest every day, could it be that she had already thought about letting her carry the black pot?

"Let's talk about it, from the beginning." Xiao Zhi said that she also wanted to know how Shao Yulin did it.

Yufen told the matter from beginning to end, and finally Xiao Zhi asked: "Did you boil bird's nest from the house?" ”

"Although the bird's nest is from the house, some of the medicinal herbs used in it were brought by the young lady from Jiangnan."

Xiao Zhi asked, "What about osmanthus?" "There are no osmanthus flowers in Kyoto City this season, and it seems that they are dried silk.

"It was also brought by the young lady, I went to the kitchen to ask, no one in the house likes osmanthus, and it is not commonly used, so it is not prepared, the young lady listened, and said that the young grandmother must feel that the taste is fresh when the bird's nest is boiled with osmanthus, so I use it." I also pick it up myself every time, and the lady never handles it. "Yufen really doesn't know when she was poisoned.

When Xiao Zhi heard this, he nodded, understanding where Shao Yulin started from.

"Young master, I really didn't hurt anyone, I beg the young master to be clear!" Yufen begged, she didn't want to die like this.

Xiao Zhi thought about it for a while, and said, "You leave the mansion, I know that you were wronged, but there is no evidence, and I won't send it to the official." ”

Yufen was stunned, is she really willing to let her go?

Xiao Zhi didn't say anything more, Yufen is a substitute for the dead, Shao Yulin should have done it in those medicinal materials in advance, and then just put it there, Yufen will naturally pick it up, and take it out by herself perfectly, the black pot is all Yufen's.

Yufen kowtowed twice, and then ran out of the house to demolish it, Xiao Zhi directly let people go, but told them that Yufen had already sent the official, and the matter of leaving was not allowed to be publicized.

On the other hand, Shao Yulin is also in a hurry, the more Yufen stays in the firewood room for a while, the more dangerous she will be, and when Yufen reacts too hard, she is afraid that she will be suspected. It wasn't until I heard that Yufen had been sent to the official that I breathed a sigh of relief, so that the Xiao family believed that Yufen was the real murderer.

Xi Hongdou not only didn't die this time, but also lost her child, if she let Mrs. Xiao know that she did it, she would be finished. But this time it's not without harvest, although Xi Hongdou is not dead, but the child is gone, and it will definitely take some time to recover after that, she is suspicious of taking advantage of this time to have more contact with Xiao Zhi, how can a man not steal fishy, as long as Xiao Zhi and her raw rice are cooked and cooked, Mrs. Xiao will definitely carry her directly into the house in order to calm the matter, and relying on the relationship between the two families, even if she does not divorce Xi Hongdou directly, she will definitely be a flat wife!

Shao Yulin was wishful thinking, but Xiao Zhi on the other end also began to move.

There is no evidence that Shao Yulin can't be cured, but he can help in other things.

The selection of the East Palace finally began when the emperor held a banquet for the prince, everyone thought that the prince was seriously injured and would not live for a few days, and there were many courtiers and the prince standing together, and now they looked at the palace banquet alive, and the faces of those courtiers were greener than one another.

When Xiao Zhi participated in the palace banquet, the prince also specially called people over to speak, and this time the prince was able to get a compliment from the emperor, and Xiao Zhi contributed a lot.

"Now that the East Palace is chosen, Lord Xiao can have a suitable candidate to recommend?!" The prince asked, this meaning is already obvious, he is willing to give the Xiao family and the East Palace a chance to marry, now it is Liangdi, and in the future it will be a concubine.

When Xiao Zhi heard this, he shook his head with a smile: "Your Highness, this is not appropriate. ”

"Now that my father has a lot of trust in your Xiao family, there is nothing wrong with it." The crown prince said that in addition to the princess's family set by the emperor in his early years, he should not be too reluctant to marry the Xiao family now.

Xiao Zhi said: "It is precisely because the saint believes in the Xiao family, the Xiao family cannot be surpassed, and the prince's current outstanding political achievements are also the prince's own credit, so people must not think that it was the Xiao family who helped, so the prince got the merit, so it wasted the emperor's painstaking efforts to cultivate the prince." ”

The prince felt that there was some truth, but he still said: "But this ......"

"Now the Xiao family can't have these in-laws involved with the prince, the Xiao family has always been not involved in any party, and this is almost tired, now the Xiao family is loyal to the prince, and it is also loyal to the emperor, but it is not because of any bias that it will be inclined to the East Palace, but because of the prince's talent and virtue." Xiao Zhi's words have been said and understood, don't marry on both sides, so that the Xiao family can still have weight in speaking in the future, if it is a marriage, the Xiao family will help the prince speak in the future, that is, it will be protected, and there is no gold content.

The prince thought about the ins and outs of this, and felt that it made sense, and the Xiao family did not support him for marriage, and it would be stronger in the future.

"In the end, the Xiao family is a loyal and good family, and they will not seek personal gain." The prince said.

Xiao Zhi smiled and said that he didn't dare to be, and then reminded: "This time, a cousin was also sent to Kyoto City to participate in the election, and because of his face, he couldn't be persuaded either, and then the prince directly asked the Internal Affairs Office to take people away during the audition, so it was easy to explain." ”

"That's fine." The prince said that Xiao Zhi is indeed a talent, and he thinks that things are more comprehensive, and now that he, the prince, should be eye-catching to attract assassination, and he must be more cautious in the future.

Separated from the prince, Xiao Zhi said coldly, this time it was completely shattered Shao Yulin's dream of entering the palace, not only to be broken, but he also had to increase it.

After the palace banquet, the selection began on the second day, although Shao Yulin didn't want to go, but she still had to go through the motions, the first level of the Internal Affairs Office was to look at the family background, and the second level was to look at the talent, she thought that her family background was qualified, and her appearance was naturally not bad, the first level must have passed, as long as she pretended to be stupid who didn't understand anything in the second level, she would definitely be defeated, but she never expected that she would be brushed off at the first level. Shao Yulin had thought about the tricks of how to make herself lose the election before she could use it, and her goal was achieved.
