In less than a cup of tea, Lan Hui came back with another palace maid, bringing the incense burner, stone slabs, and scopole leaves that Duanmu Scarlet requested.

At Duanmufei's command, Lan Hui opened the lid of the incense burner, put a stone slab the size of a pu fan on the incense burner, and then put the scopole leaves on the stone slab to roast.

As the thin slate was heated by the charcoal fire in the incense burner, the handful of scopole leaves on the slate made a subtle sizzling sound, and then a few wisps of green smoke rose from the leaves......

Imperial Physician Li frowned on the side, and a touch of disapproval flashed in his eyes.

He is a doctor, of course, he also recognizes scopole leaves, which can be analgesic, antispasmodic, and treat gastrointestinal diseases, but it is a fierce medicine, and it should be used with caution when taken internally, and should not be used by people with heart disease and heart failure.

The eldest princess is dying at the moment, heart failure, and it is definitely not suitable to take this medicine.

This Duanmu girl doesn't know what tricks she is playing!

Thinking about it, Imperial Physician Li's brows furrowed even tighter, and he watched the two palace maids follow Duanmu Fei's instructions to help the unconscious Wuyang sit up, and let Wuyang's mouth and nose sniff the wisps of green smoke from the scopolatic leaves......

Imperial Doctor Li's eyes widened, and the word "nonsense" reached the corners of his mouth, and he almost blurted out.

The eldest princess is already so weak, if she chokes on the smoke and can't breathe, she may lose her breath all of a sudden......

Imperial Physician Li hesitated for a moment, his eyes showing a tangled look.

He has been in the Tai Hospital for seven or eight years, and he has seen a lot of things, and he knows that if the eldest princess is really tossed by Duanmu Fei today, then even the emperor and queen will not be able to move their anger on him, which means that he has escaped!

But, the heart of the healer's parents!

"Queen Mother, please think twice!" Imperial Physician Li resolutely stepped forward towards the queen and bowed his head and said, "The fourth girl of Duanmu doesn't know anything about medical skills...... If she messes around, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess may not even be able to live a stick of incense! "You can't let her mess around!

When the palace maids and attendants in the room heard this, they were so frightened that they knelt on the ground.

If the emperor came at this time, but saw that the eldest princess was gone because of the indiscriminate use of medicine by the four girls of Duanmu, then they would inevitably be angry with the emperor.

The palace people thought about it, and their bodies trembled with fear.

"......" The queen's pupils shrank, her body trembled slightly, and she was about to collapse, and a trace of hesitation appeared in her eyes when she looked at Duanmu Fei, and her eyes seemed to ask, Scarlet, how sure are you.

Duanmu Fei seemed to see the question in the queen's heart, and only said one sentence: "Queen Mother, I can save Sister Wuyang." ”

The queen clenched her fists, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Don't withdraw!" ”

After the three words fell, the room fell into a dead silence, and those palace people still knelt on the ground, not daring to get up, feeling as if there was a guillotine hanging above their heads.

One, two, three......

As time passed, the smell of smoke from the scorching leaves became stronger and stronger, and quickly spread throughout the room......

The queen's face sank like water, and she looked in the direction of the bed as if she had not heard it, and her body was as tense as a full bowstring.

"Queen Mother, Her Royal Highness the Celestial Princess's breathing seems to have stabilized a little......"

At this time, Lan Hui exclaimed, her voice full of unbelievable joy.

"How is this possible?!" Imperial Physician Li blurted out and turned to look at Wuyang on the bed.

I saw that Wuyang, who was originally angry, seemed to be really relieved at this moment, and his face was still pale, but he no longer showed that kind of gray death; Although the breathing between the wings of the nose is still weaker than that of ordinary people, it is a little longer......

Exhale-inhale-

Imperial Physician Li stared at Wuyang's nose and lips without blinking, his eyes overflowing with shock, and he almost pinched his thighs to see if this was a dream.

Imperial Physician Li took a deep breath, calmed down, hurriedly took two steps forward, and said, "And the minister will take the pulse for His Highness." ”

Imperial Physician Li sat down on the small pestle next to the couch again, and reached out to probe Wuyang's pulse.

The green smoke was still burning between the leaves on the stone slab, making the room full of smoke, but no one cared, and everyone's eyes were focused on Wuyang's body.

Wuyang's breathing gradually stabilized at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the queen rushed to the edge of the couch and looked at Wuyang without blinking, for fear of missing every change in her body, and kept calling softly in her mouth: "Wuyang, Wuyang......"

Imperial Physician Li carefully felt the regular pulsation under his fingers, and his face showed a touch of incredulity.

Obviously, he probed the pulse just now, and the pulse of the eldest princess showed that the pulse was faint, but now there was a trace of vitality in the still weak pulse, and it was getting stronger and stronger......

Imperial Physician Li withdrew his hand, and when he looked at Wuyang's little face again, he saw that her eyes and eyelashes trembled slightly, and Mama Jin exclaimed in surprise: "Queen Mother, Your Highness is awake!" Your Highness is awake! ”

In the call of surprise, Wuyang slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were still a little sloppy, and his pale and chapped lips murmured: "Queen Mother......"

This call made the queen's body tremble, she grabbed Wuyang's hand tightly, tears rained down, but this time she cried with joy.

Her daughter is back from the ghost gate!

If not, Wuyang will definitely be good in the future! The queen said to herself in her heart.

"Queen Mother......" Wuyang weakly raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes for the queen, wanting to say that she was fine, wanting to say that she would be fine......

"Wuyang, don't say it, the queen mother understands." The queen wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and a loving smile appeared on her face.

Then, the queen turned her head to look at Imperial Physician Li again and asked, "Imperial Physician Li, how is the eldest princess doing now?" ”

Imperial Physician Li said on the side: "Queen Mother, Your Highness has passed the crisis, and as long as you cooperate with the prescription left by Imperial Physician Wang, you can be cured with three doses a day." ”

The air around them was relaxed.

The faces of every palace person are full of joy, the honor and disgrace of the palace people here are tied to the queen's mother and daughter, one is glorious, one is humiliated, only the queen and Wuyang are good, and they can be good.

The boulder in the queen's heart was finally put down, and she said softly to Wuyang: "Wuyang, you can sleep for a while...... When you wake up, it's fine. As she spoke, she wiped the sweat of Wuyang with a handkerchief, looking at her eyes so gently, like the most ordinary mother.

Wuyang smiled weakly at the queen, slowly closed her eyes, and soon fell asleep......

There was silence again, but something seemed to have changed in the air.

Imperial Physician Li still felt mysterious and mysterious in his heart, and couldn't believe that Duanmu Fei just burned some scopate leaves, and actually cured the eldest princess's asthma.

This is simply unheard of!

Imperial Physician Li couldn't help but arch his hand to Duanmu Fei, and said, "I didn't expect that the fourth girl of Duanmu was also proficient in medical skills......

"I don't know how to do medicine." Duanmu Fei said seriously, "I just read some medical books in my spare time, and this method is also the ...... I saw in an ancient book."

Duanmu Fei also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the corners of his mouth curved again, and he looked at Wuyang's big eyes shining and dazzling.

After a long illness, Chu Qing has been sick for nearly fifteen years, and when she was alive, she didn't read much medical books, but she didn't know how to read and hear, and she couldn't prescribe prescriptions, so naturally she couldn't say that she knew medical skills.

A few years ago, after she learned that Wuyang had severe allergies, she rummaged through all kinds of books, not only Dasheng's books, but also those books from remote tribes and foreign countries, trying to find a way to cure Wuyang.

Later, she saw this method in a tattered medicine scripture.

According to the book, this method was transmitted from overseas, and the author also heard from overseas sailors about it, but no one in the Central Plains had ever tried this method.

Of course, this method is risky, if it weren't for the dying of the dance this time, the imperial doctor really had no choice, and Duanmu Fei would not have taken the risk.

Fortunately, Wuyang survived!

Duanmu Fei looked at the weak Wuyang, the corners of his mouth were curled higher, and his eyes were as bright as stars in the dark night.

She has to prepare a good gift for Wuyang!

"Scarlet, ...... next"

The queen was about to ask Duanmu Fei what to do next, but there was anything else to pay attention to, when she heard a commotion outside.

"See the Emperor." The salutes of the palace people came from outside the curtain one after another, one closer than the other, and louder than the other.

Soon, there was an urgent sound of the curtains, and the emperor in a bright yellow dragon robe strode in, his handsome face full of anxiety.

"The Emperor's ......"

Before the queen's words fell, she saw a slender fiery red shadow behind the emperor and also came in, it was the imperial concubine Ye Luchen.

The queen's gaze stopped on Ye Luchen for a moment, and her eyes were slightly dark.

"Queen, how is Wuyang?" The Emperor strode forward and asked anxiously.

However, at this moment, no matter how nervous and worried the emperor is, he can't warm the queen's cold and scarred heart.

It's been this hour, if it weren't for Duanmu Fei's method, Wuyang would have been gone...... What's the use of the emperor showing his concern and his fatherly love again?!

The queen secretly hated in her heart, and her eyes swept over Yeluchen's charming and contented eyes again, and a discerning person could see at a glance what the emperor and Yeluchen were just doing......

Their daughter almost went to Huangquan, but what was the emperor doing?!

Thinking about it, the queen's heart was even more angry, a fierce heart surge, and then thinking of the emperor's misunderstanding and angry reprimands of Wuyang again and again, the queen's heart became colder and more disappointed.

But no matter what the queen thought in her heart, she didn't dare to show anything on her face.

After all, the emperor is not an ordinary father, he is the son of heaven!

The queen took a deep breath, pretended to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and sobbed: "Your Majesty, Imperial Doctor Li said that Wuyang has passed the difficulty. Just now, the concubine thought that Wuyang was going to ...... Want...... It's really scared to death of the concubine. ”

"It's okay to dance the sun." The emperor breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly walked to the couch to see Wuyang.

Wuyang slept deeply, her pale little face looked particularly petite and pitiful against the backdrop of her long blue hair, and it could be seen from the fluttering of her nose that her breathing was quite steady.

The emperor sat on the edge of the couch, lovingly tucked the corners of the quilt for Wuyang, and said to Imperial Physician Li: "Imperial Physician Li, you saved the eldest princess this time, and I have a lot of rewards......

"Your Majesty, the ministers don't dare to take credit ......for it," Imperial Physician Li hurriedly said, trembling and trembling about what had just happened, and told Wuyang that Wuyang was critically ill and that Duanmu Fei treated Wuyang by roasting scopole leaves.

For a while, only the voice of Imperial Physician Li was left in the room, and everyone's attention was focused on the emperor, Wuyang and Imperial Physician Li, only Duanmu Fei on the side looked around quietly, and noticed that Ye Luchen beside the emperor was looking down at Wuyang and smiling slightly, as if he was proud and careless.

Duanmu squinted, his big black eyes were as deep as ink, and the corners of his mouth were still curved like a crescent moon.

"The little girl of the Duanmu family, it turns out that you saved Wuyang!" When the emperor heard that it was Duanmu Fei's credit, his face inevitably showed a little surprise.

Looking at the smell of smoke in this room, the emperor's eyes were both rare and appreciative, "You girl has always been clever and clever!" Duanmu Xian really raised a good granddaughter! ”

After the emperor praised Duanmu Fei a few words, he casually asked Duanmu Fei where he knew this method, and Duanmu Fei answered one by one.

From time to time, the emperor let out a hearty laugh, apparently with a dragon's face, and ordered the attendants beside him to prepare a reward.

"Thank you for the emperor's reward." Duanmu generously bowed his knees and thanked the emperor.

Then the emperor took Yeluchen and left.

The emperor came and went in a hurry, and the time he stayed in this room was only a cup of tea.

There was silence again, except for the beaded chain of the curtain that danced and swayed in mid-air......

The queen stared at the strings of beads in a daze, not moving for a moment, her eyes full of indifference and gloom.

After a while, the queen turned her head to look at Duanmu Fei, her eyes became gentle and generous again, and she said with a smile: "Scarlet, your sister Wuyang is like this...... Bengong and her won't go back to the palace today. Scarlet, you ...... "Can you stay too?"

Without waiting for the queen's words to come out, Duanmu Fei had already said, "Queen Mother, I will stay with Sister Wuyang." ”

"Scarlet, this love of yours...... Hongu wrote it down. The queen looked at Duanmu Fei, and a sincere smile appeared on her face.

After that, Duanmu Fei instructed Bi Chan to go back and talk to Duanmu Jun and Duanmu Xian, and after another stick of incense, Bi Chan had not come back, Han Xing, Yunhua and Dangui also heard the news and rushed to visit Wuyang, but because Wuyang was still asleep, the queen did not let them in.

In the afternoon, the emperor's royal drive back to the palace, and everyone else also drove back to the palace, and the originally lively Qianya Garden suddenly became empty, quiet and serene.

Wuyang didn't wake up until dusk.

"Your Highness is awake!" The palace maid who was serving on the side of the couch shouted excitedly, "Your Highness, what do you think?" Do you want the slave to serve you and drink some water? ”

Wuyang, who had just woken up, was still a little dazed, sat up with the support of the palace maid, looked at the gauze tent above in a daze, and the scenes of the asthma attack in the morning flashed quickly in his mind......

At that time, she thought she was dead!

The feeling as if she had been choked by the throat of Lord Yama made her feel a chill down her spine when she thought about it at the moment, she felt that she was already in a trance, her consciousness was far away, and it seemed that some kind of force had pulled her to the ghost gate...... Unexpectedly, she came back to life again!

"Dancing Sun!" The queen threw herself excitedly towards Wuyang, hugged her tightly, her eyes were sour, and again, tears rained down.

Watching Wuyang wake up, the queen's heart had a feeling of dust.

Her dancing is fine.

"Queen Mother, I'm fine." Wuyang hugged the queen back and gently patted the queen's back, again and again...... She knew that the queen mother was even more uncomfortable than her.

Looking at the mother and daughter, the palace maids on the side were also moved to tears.

Outside the window, the sunset is sinking, the birds are singing, the comfortable evening breeze at dusk sends the birdsong and the fragrance of flowers in, Duanmu Fei sits by the window and drinks tea slowly, with a leisurely posture.

"Sister Scarlet!"

Wuyang, who had eased up a little, suddenly saw Duanmufei by the window, and blurted out in some surprise, but he didn't expect Duanmufei to be here.

The queen wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and soon returned to the graceful and luxurious queen, and told Duanmu Fei about saving her with a smile.

Wuyang was stunned and smiled, and his weak and pale little face was rejuvenated by the embellishment of this laughing flower.

The palace maid hurriedly brought the shredded chicken porridge with shiitake mushrooms that had been simmering on the stove, and carefully served Wuyang with the porridge.

The hot porridge poured into her stomach in one bite, gradually warming Wuyang's body, and even her little face seemed to have a faint flush.

After eating the porridge and taking another sip, Wuyang smiled and said to the queen: "Queen Mother, go and rest, don't get tired." ”

The queen hesitated for a while, waved her hand to ask the people in the room to retreat, and Duanmu Fei saw that their mother and daughter obviously had something to say, so they also retreated with interest.

Only the queen and Wuyang were left in the bedroom.

After the emperor pondered for a while, he spoke: "Wuyang, the queen mother knows that you don't look down on those people, but in the past few days, that Yeluchen is instigating your father and emperor to send you to Beiyan and his relatives ......."

Therefore, the queen wanted to set up a family affair for Wuyang as soon as possible, so it would not be her turn to be close, and for a while, the queen could find these people, after all, these people had been investigated by the queen before, and the door style was quite upright.

There was a hint of helplessness and bitterness in the queen's voice.

The king's heart is unpredictable, although the emperor has not agreed to let Wuyang and kiss now, but what if the emperor suddenly changes his mind again?!

Wuyang unexpectedly raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Queen Mother, what's the matter with the kiss?" ”

"Ye Luchen told your father that he wanted you to marry her third brother and be close to Beiyan." The queen said in a deep voice, "Just look at that Yelu, you know that these barbarians are vulgar and rude, shameless, and unruly...... How to be a good match! Wuyang, don't worry, the queen mother will never let them get their wish! The queen gritted her teeth fiercely, and her eyes were deep and dark.

"Queen Mother......" Wuyang raised his hand and hugged the queen, only then did he know that the queen had good intentions, and her eyes were slightly sour.

Wuyang settled down and said to the queen: "Queen Mother, marriage is a big event, and the sons don't want to make a hasty decision because of the branches, and they don't want to be like the aunt of Emperor Anping in the future, and they don't agree with the concubine and ......live in Bepfu."

She'd rather have less than more!

"Dancing Sun!" The queen frowned and wanted to persuade Wuyang, but was interrupted by Wuyang.

"Queen Mother, you listen to Erchen," Wuyang said firmly, "Erchen doesn't want to be close either, but Erchen is the princess of Dasheng, if you really need to be married, Erchen will not put the responsibility on the sisters below!" ”

She will not run away from harmony, but only for the peace of Dasheng, not for the selfish interests of some people!

Wuyang's eyes are clear and clear, and there are furrows in his chest.

The queen's heart fluctuated, and she watched her daughter stop talking.

Wuyang said something to the queen again, and finally persuaded the queen to go back to rest.

After the queen left, Wuyang sat quietly on the bed alone and was silent, until Duanmu Fei and a palace maid walked in.

The sunset outside was lower, and the palace maid neatly lit the palace lamp on the side, and re-served hot tea for Wuyang and Duanmufei, and the room was quiet and peaceful.

Duanmu Fei sat on the edge of Wuyang's couch and talked to her.

"Sister Wuyang, you really scared me to death today, fortunately you're fine." She patted her chest gently, and there was still a bit of embarrassment and fear in her tone.

Wuyang lazily leaned on the big pillow behind him, smiled slightly, and said jokingly: "If you don't die in a big disaster, there will be a blessing, Sister Scarlet, when the palace is ready, let's go out to play again, can it be regarded as a shock to you?" ”

Duanmu sneered at her, "Sister Wuyang, then we'll make a decision!" ”

She blinked, and deliberately said in a speculative tone: "Sister Wuyang, I heard that there are many triggers for asthma, such as pollen, dust, and animal hair...... Did you accidentally smell something? ”

Wuyang's eyes flashed, and he smiled bitterly, and said, "This palace has been allergic to gardenia pollen since childhood. As he spoke, Wuyang's eyes were slightly dark, as if he had thought of something, and then raised his voice and called, "Qingfeng." ”

Qingfeng answered outside, and immediately came in with the curtain, curtsimming to Wuyang.

"Qingfeng, you go to the yard and look for a big red sachet......" Wuyang casually ordered.

Qingfeng took the order and went out, the room was quiet again, and a gust of evening breeze blew from the window, blowing the firelight in the palace lamp by the window, and even the room was bright and dark, revealing a trace of silent solemnity.

After a few breaths, Wuyang said again: "This morning, when the palace came to Yongchun Palace, I also brought the sachet sent by the queen mother yesterday...... Hongu found out that something was wrong, so he threw the sachet away, but unfortunately it was too late......"

She couldn't hold it anymore and fell directly to the ground of the courtyard......

The orange-red firelight was reflected in Wuyang's eyes, jumping violently, and her eyes looked amazingly bright.

Duanmu sipped the tea slowly, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he didn't speak.

After a short time, Qingfeng hurried back, holding a big red fan-shaped sachet embroidered with delicate peony flowers in his hand.

"Sister Scarlet, you smell and ......watch for the palace," Wuyang instructed Qingfeng to give the sachet directly to Duanmu Fei, and then waved his hand to signal Qingfeng to retreat.

Duanmu squirted the sachet in his hand, brought it to the tip of his nose, and sniffed it carefully, and a familiar and fragrant fragrance penetrated into his nose.

After Duanmu squinted and tasted it carefully, he said affirmatively: "Sister Wuyang, this is a peony flower." "The smell is exactly the same as the box of sachets sent by the queen yesterday.

Wuyang took the sachet from Duanmu Fei's hand, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it gently, the corners of his mouth hooked an arc that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and said lightly: "Sure enough." ”

Duanmu crooked his head, and when he thought about it, he understood, his eyes were shining.

The queen loves her daughter like her life, of course, it is impossible to give the sachet containing gardenia pollen to Wuyang, then, that is to say......

Duanmu Fei stared at the sachet that was pinched between Wuyang's fingers and asked, "Sister Wuyang, did you steal your sachet by someone?" ”

Someone knew that Wuyang was allergic to gardenia pollen, so he secretly changed Wuyang's sachet, and Wuyang didn't know what the fragrance of gardenia was, so he caught the way.

After Wuyang fell, that person secretly changed the sachet back, and there is no doubt that the person who can do this must be Wuyang or the person next to the queen.

Duanmu Fei stopped at the point, didn't say much, didn't need to say much, Wuyang could also think of this, and bowed slightly at Duanmu Fei, and the two exchanged a tacit look.

"There are no other clues for the time being," Wuyang's face was slightly condensed, and he casually played with the sachet in his hand, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, "I can only hold my ground first...... Hongu has to think again. ”

She would never allow someone like this to stay with her and the queen!

"Sister Wuyang, you have to be careful of the imperial concubine." Duanmu's scarlet eyes flashed, and he suddenly reminded.

Wuyang raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked at Duanmu Fei, and asked with a blank look.

"When I saw the imperial concubine coming to see you with the emperor today, my expression ......was a little wrong," Duanmu Fei said again.

Wuyang half-lowered her eyelids, her face showed a look of deep groaning, and after a moment, she raised her eyes and said: "Sister Scarlet, in fact, the queen mother just told the palace that Ye Luchen wants to let the palace and the pro-Beiyan, is it because the queen mother does not agree, so she wants to give the palace a dismount?" ”

The two looked at each other, and for the time being, this was the most reasonable speculation at the moment.

"Sister Wuyang, it's good that you have a guard in your heart." Duanmu pursed his lips and smiled, comforting, "Now, taking care of your body first is the first priority." ”

Duanmu smiled with crooked eyebrows and eyes, the corners of his mouth crooked, very cute, and the shallow smile vortex had an inexplicable contagion, which made people can't help but laugh with her.

Wuyang looked at Duanmu Fei in a daze, and suddenly said: "Sister Scarlet, you are younger than Bengong, but sometimes Bengong thinks that you are older than Bengong......"

Wuyang's mind flashed the scenes since they met, the two of them had only known each other for more than a year, but sometimes, she had an illusion, they were so tacit, so connected, as if they had known each other for many years.

Duanmu was stunned, her eyes were in a trance for a moment, and then she flattened her mouth pitifully, and said aggrievedly: "Sister Wuyang, are you saying that I am 'young and old'?!" ”

"Poof!"

Wuyang couldn't help but laugh when she was amused by Duanmu Fei, her hearty laughter and Duanmu Fei's crisp laughter were intertwined, adding a touch of vitality to this silent dusk, and the corners of the palace people outside were also dyed with a smile on the corners of their mouths.

The sun had completely set, and the sky outside had become darker in less than a stick of incense.

At night, the courtyard is as cold as autumn, but the house is as warm as spring.

Wuyang stopped laughing, her dark eyes were still full of smiles, and she let out a low sigh:

"Sister Scarlet, you are so good, as good as Sister Ci!"

Duanmu smiled and said nothing, and all that was left around was the sound of the night breeze stirring the branches and leaves......

"......

Feng'er seems to be pouring out some unknown secrets.

Wuyang rested in Qianya Garden for three days, and only then, with the permission of Imperial Physician Li, set off with the queen and Duanmu Fei to return to the capital.

Duanmu Fei and the queen's mother and daughter parted ways at the city gate, and the carriage of the Duanmu family carried her all the way in the direction of Quanyu Street.

It was dusk, the streets of the capital were empty, and the carriages were moving faster and faster with the whipping of the coachmen...... When passing by the Xuanguo Mansion, Duanmu Fei couldn't help but open the curtain and take a deep look out, missing her grandfather and grandmother a little, as well as the medical books she collected back then.

"Gotta ......"

The carriage left the Xuanguo Mansion behind in the blink of an eye, and it did not attract anyone's attention from the Guogong Mansion at all.

The Xuanguo Mansion seems to be calm, however, the mansion is shrouded in a thick layer of clouds.

In Mrs. Chu's Liuhe Hall, Chu Qingyu, who was wearing a blue and blue skirt, knelt in the banquet room, and the atmosphere was solemn and solemn.

Mrs. Chu sat on a rosewood arhat bed with 10,000 words and drank tea slowly, looking like she didn't want to care about it or pay attention to it.

Second Mrs. Chu, who was sitting at the bottom, looked at her daughter kneeling on the ground without blinking, and asked in a deep voice, "Sister Yu, do you really want to withdraw from your family?" …… It's hard to recover from the water, you have to figure it out! ”

As Second Lady Chu spoke, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and her expression was a little complicated.

Since returning from the Peony Banquet three days ago, although Second Lady Chu has not said anything, she has been thinking about this issue over and over again.

She really wants her daughter to marry back to her parents' family and kiss her, but her daughter's performance this year has made her too disappointed.

Nephew Cheng Yunan is the son of the married family, and he will inherit the family in the future, and the daughter is not suitable to be a clan wife or a nephew...... Then, this marriage is not a marriage, but a feud.

Even if the two families of Cheng Chu used to have a lot of affection, they will be tossed and lost because of this!

Quitting your relatives now, maybe it's painful for a while, it's better than regretting half your life in the future, and going back to your parents' house without shame......

Second Mrs. Chu hesitated for three days, and then came to see Mrs. Chu early in the morning to discuss whether to withdraw from her family. Mrs. Chu directly asked Chu Qingyu to come over.

As soon as Chu Qingyu came, he was asked by his mother to kneel on the ground, and he was aggrieved in his heart, but he didn't expect his mother to take the initiative to withdraw from his family, and he blinked in disbelief, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

God help her!

Although she tried her best to suppress the ecstasy in her heart, she still let Second Mrs. Chu see the clues, and she was even more disappointed in her heart.

This means that the daughter once told them that she knew her mistake and that she would prepare for marriage...... These words are nothing more than perfunctory.

Second Lady Chu closed her eyes and looked at Chu Qingyu with a deep gaze, her heart fluctuating.

Once again, she felt that this daughter had become too strange, so strange that she almost didn't know her.

Chu Qingyu didn't know what Second Lady Chu was thinking, she raised her little face and said eagerly: "Mother, I grew up with Cousin Nan's childhood sweetheart, and I have always treated him as a brother......

Saying that, Chu Qingyu felt relieved.

Great, she begged her mother so many times, and her mother finally agreed to quit.

Mother still loves herself after all!

Second Mrs. Chu listened to the coldness in her heart, and her whole body was cold.

Mrs. Chu on Luohan's bed had no surprise on her face, and she drank tea calmly, as if she had long expected Chu Qingyu's reaction.

"Sister Yu," Second Lady Chu took a deep breath and asked again quietly, "Do you really think so?" ”

"Yes, Mother." Chu Qingyu hurriedly responded, "Cousin Nan and I have always been like brothers and sisters. ”

After the words fell, there was silence in the room, the air seemed to freeze, and the silence spread, and no one spoke for a long time......

Chu Qingyu's originally excited heart became apprehensive again, afraid that her mother would regret it temporarily.

She bit her lower lip slightly, and looked at Second Lady Chu nervously, both expectant and uneasy.

Second Lady Chu's eyes were as deep as an abyss, and her right hand subconsciously pinched the handkerchief, and at this moment, she didn't hesitate at all.

After being silent for a moment, Second Lady Chu's mind calmed down, raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Chu, and said slowly but decisively: "Mother, I want to quit Sister Yu and the family affair. ”

Mrs. Chu put down the blue and white porcelain teacup in her hand, and didn't even look at Chu Qingyu, as if it was just a waste of strength to look at her more.

"It's up to you to call the shots." Mrs. Chu said to Second Mrs. Chu in a light tone.

Chu Qingyu was overjoyed, and he didn't care about anything else at all, so he hurriedly bowed his head and kowtowed: "Granddaughter, thank you grandmother for her success." ”

Her forehead was pressed against the cold and hard ground, so that she didn't see the disappointed eyes of Second Lady Chu at all.

"Sister Yu, you can step down." Second Lady Chu said.

Chu Qingyu stood up and said to Mrs. Chu and Second Mrs. Chu, "Grandmother, mother, then I will retire first." ”

Chu Qingyu walked briskly and withdrew from the curtain, leaving only the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the banquet room.

When the door curtain calmed down, Second Lady Chu could no longer suppress the surging tide in her heart, her eyes turned red, and tears flickered.

"Sister Yu, she ...... How did it become like this?! Second Mrs. Chu choked up and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

For a long time, only the low sobbing sound of Second Lady Chu was left in the room, and the air seemed to be more solemn.

After a long time, Mrs. Chu spoke: "When Sister Ci died, she was holding Sister Yu'er's purse in her hand. At that time, Sister Yu explained in every possible way, saying that she didn't know when she dropped her purse, and said that Sister Ci, who was in the same carriage with her, picked up her purse...... We believe her, and we believe that the girl taught by the Chu family will not destroy humanity like this, and it is just an accident to say that it is an accident to quit my sister's fall into the water......"

Mrs. Chu's demeanor was calm, her voice was neither light nor heavy, not hurried, but with a touch of extreme forbearance.

With Mrs. Chu's words, Second Mrs. Chu vaguely guessed what she was going to say later, and the blood on her face faded little by little.

Mrs. Chu sighed softly and continued, "But now, I begin to wonder if she is telling the truth......

"No, it won't! Mother, no! Second Mrs. Chu intuitively denied it, "Sister Yu is a little out of tune now, but ......, "But no matter how bad her daughter is, she won't be bad like this!"

How could a daughter shirk her sister and fall into the water, that is her eldest sister!

Mrs. Chu slowly twisted the Buddha beads in her hand, noncommittal, and her eyes became darker and darker.

The room was quiet again, except for the wisps of cigarette smoke rising from the incense burner in the corner, and there was a faint gloom in the silence.

"Second daughter-in-law, you stepped down." Mrs. Chu waved her hand.

Second Lady Chu's lips moved slightly, and she wanted to speak again, but she still stood up, retreated, and walked out of Liuhe Hall in a trance.

In the courtyard outside, the flowers are full of flowers, fragrant and fragrant, and the warm breeze of early summer carries the fragrance of flowers to your face.

Unconsciously, more than a year passed in the blink of an eye, and Chu Qing, the eldest girl of the Chu family, had died for more than a year.

In February last year, their Chu family went to Yunmen Temple to practice the rituals, but before the rituals began, Chu Qingci was found drowned in the lotus pond of the Hou Temple, still holding Chu Qingyu's purse in his hand.

At that time, Chu Qingyu said that she didn't know when she lost her purse, so she deliberately went back to the carriage to find it, and also met Chu Qingci's maid Cuisheng. Cui Sheng said that she was going back to the carriage to get the heart pill, and she didn't know how Chu Qingci would go to the lotus pond.

At that time, Mrs. Chu was grief-stricken, but they all believed that it was impossible for the girl of the Chu family to do something to murder her sister, and with Cuisheng as evidence, the Chu family had already folded a Chu Qing resignation, and could no longer let any rumors circulate, so as not to let people privately discuss the bad style of the Chu family and affect the reputation of other girls in the Chu family.

For the sake of the Chu family, the matter of the purse must also be suppressed......

After that, Chu Qingci's death was judged to be a misstep and falling into the water, and Cui Sheng could not escape the fault of dereliction of responsibility and was driven to Zhuangzi.

Second Lady Chu suddenly stopped, looking at the courtyard in front of her in a daze, and unconsciously, she walked to the front of Chu Qingyu's stunned courtyard.

After she stood quietly for a while, the maid in the courtyard found her, greeted her, and curtsied, "The second lady is here to find the third girl?" ”

Second Lady Chu answered, took another step, and walked into the courtyard. The maid has been leading her to the east room.

"Mother, come and sit!" When Chu Qingyu saw Second Lady Chu coming, she couldn't help but show a bright smile on her beautiful little face, it was obvious that she was in a good mood.

On the windowsill, there is a pot of yellow peonies, which is the pot of "Yao Huang" that was ordered by the emperor as the "King of Flowers" in the peony banquet a few days ago, and the huge yellow peonies are swaying in the breeze, just like Chu Qingyu's bright smile.

Second Mrs. Chu looked at the pot of yellow peonies for a while, and then looked at her daughter's joyful appearance, countless emotions rolled in her eyes, and said, "Sister Yu, tomorrow I will go to start a family with your father in person and retire for you." ”

Some things should be decided.

"Thank you, Mother." Chu Qingyu was overjoyed and blessed with her body, and all this went far more smoothly than she imagined.

Second Lady Chu stared at her quietly, she didn't speak for a long, long time, and Chu Qingyu began to feel a little uneasy.

There seemed to be a voice in her mind saying that something was not quite right.

"Mother's ......"

Chu Qingyu only said two words, but was interrupted by Second Mrs. Chu: "Sister Yu, is your eldest sister's death related to you?" ”

Hearing this, Chu Qingyu was so shocked that he almost didn't jump, his eyes were stunned to the extreme, and his heartbeat was even faster.

Chu Qingci has been dead for more than a year, why is his mother asking about this matter now?!

Back then, for Chu Qingci's death, her grandmother always suspected that it had something to do with her, but it was she who knelt outside the Liuhe Hall for a day and a night, and fainted in the cold wind, which made her grandmother relieved.

It's been more than a year, and it's not easy to let things fade away, why is Chu Qingci coming again like a ghost......

"Mother, why do you think that?!" Chu Qingyu looked at Second Mrs. Chu pitifully, "How can my daughter harm my eldest sister!" Chu Qingyu eagerly grabbed Second Mrs. Chu's arm, "Mother, you believe in your daughter!" ”

Second Lady Chu glanced at Chu Qingyu deeply, closed her eyes, and finally said, "It's better to be like this." ”

Sister Yu, I hope you don't let me down again......

Second Lady Chu didn't sit for a long time, and she left after less than a cup of tea, as if she had just come to say these few words.

Chu Qingyu looked at the back of Second Lady Chu leaving, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but fly.

She finally quit her kiss!

This is the biggest piece of good news in this time!

Chu Qingyu turned around and walked to the pot of "Yao Huang", looked down at the most gorgeous peony flower on it, stretched out his slender fingers and rubbed it gently, his eyes were bright.

She remembered that in a few days, Feng Yan would be in danger of his life, and if she could save him, he would definitely look at her differently!

Chu Qingyu hooked his lips and smiled, and at this time, another breeze blew from the window, blowing a petal on the flower slowly falling from the branch......

Chu Qingyu stared at the scattered petals, his smile froze again, and he was a little apprehensive.

Why did my mother suddenly mention Chu Qingci's death?!

Did the mother find something?!

Impossible!

There was no evidence that day, even her purse, it didn't constitute any clear evidence, except-

Cuisheng.

Chu Qingyu's pupils shrank, and her eyes were staring at the yellow petals that fell on the desk, and the golden sunlight shone on her face, half bright and half dark.
