When Pei Yaowei hurried to Nanyuan, Xiang Taozheng instructed his subordinates to drag down Cunyu, who had served tea to Mrs. Huan in Xiyuan, and kill him with a cane.

"The matter has not yet been clarified, is my father so anxious to kill me, is it because he feels sorry for Mrs. Huan, or is it for his son?"

In the main hall, Cunyu lay on the ground and cried about wrongdoing. Xiang Yao stopped a group of subordinates from making a move, so he stood in front of Xiang Tao and confronted him.

He looked calm, but he was calm and full of anger and disappointment.

Pei Yaowei stopped outside the door, looked at the situation inside, thought about it for a while, and roughly understood Xiang Tao's thoughts.

A few days after the colorful frog happened, now Mrs. Huan suddenly suffered a catastrophe again, and twice in succession, Xiang Yao was deeply trapped in it, and it was difficult to get rid of the relationship. Even if Xiang Tao didn't believe that these things were done by Xiang Yao before, most of them can't escape the drum in their hearts now.

Perhaps, Xiang Yao was carried away by the hatred of his mother's death, and was willing to make a move?

Pei Yaowei guessed that Xiang Tao would definitely ask himself this question, but he never dared to answer himself.

In this way, one is to vent his hatred and anger, and the other is to protect his son, he can only be a fool and dare not dig deeper, so he can find the most suitable scapegoat.

That's right, Pei Yao secretly said to Xiang Yao in her heart, okay, your father didn't face you with a sword.

Just when she thought so, Xiang Tao's deep voice came from the hall: "Do you really think that your father doesn't dare to touch you?" ”

As he spoke, his hand was on the sword at his waist.

When Cunyu saw this, he was frightened.

She has been in the mansion all the time, and she knows that the six girls were poisoned before, and the county prince almost killed the four girls to fill their lives, who knows if this sword will be pulled out towards her son? Thinking of this, the little girl who was still crying suddenly changed her words and shouted one by one: "The county prince is angry!" The slave is willing to die, but she only wishes the county prince to be angry! Don't misunderstand the second son! ”

His head hit the ground, and in a few moments, blood was seen on his forehead.

Xiang Yao glanced at her, turned his head to look at his father, and chuckled: "The son is entrusted to his parents, and it is up to you to kill him, and he dare not complain, but this girl's life, you can't take it for nothing!" ”

In an instant, Pei Yao vaguely heard the sound of the sword unsheathed.

She frowned, and immediately rushed in, and saw that Xiang Tao's sword turned a corner, and she was about to stab at Cunyu.

"Father's ——!"

Pei Yao rushed over, knelt between Xiang Tao and Cunyu, and grabbed his hand holding the sword.

There was no sound in the hall for a while. Xiang Yao calmed down in shock, looked at her, and frowned.

Xiang Tao came back to his senses and waved his hand to shake her off, but he didn't succeed all of a sudden, and couldn't help but get more and more angry: "You dare to plead?!" ”

Pei Yao stared at him and said in a loud voice: "I know what my father is worried about, but if you care about it, you should also think about it, if the second brother can really ignore it, wouldn't it be happy to kill him with a sword when his mother went to Xiyuan?" And why bother to do this poisoning thing in a roundabout way! ”

She mentioned every word, Xiang Tao is not a stupid person, she knocked her mind back, fixed her mind, and her face changed slightly.

Yes, unless Xiang Yao has the heart of breaking the fish and the net, he will not do this thing and provoke suspicion, and if he really has the heart of the fish and the net, why do you need to do more? Wouldn't it be better to avenge your mother and kill someone with a sword?

At the other end, Pei Yao peeked at his expression, slowly got up, held his arm and withdrew the sword momentum.

She said softly: "Father, this husband and wife have a father-son relationship, you can't let the real villain behind you give the scourge to disappear......"

Xiang Tao glanced at her, then looked at Xiang Yao again, and finally withdrew the sword from its scabbard.

Xiang Yao and Pei Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

A storm was settled, and the Imperial Doctor arrived.

"Madame, this is indeed poisoned, but forgive the old minister for being incompetent, this poison is really powerful, and it is unknown, the old minister has never seen it in the past, and he is really helpless!"

As soon as Doctor He finished speaking, Xiang Tao's feet were empty, and he almost didn't stop.

He asked, "This poison ...... Can it be fatal? ”

Doctor He sighed helplessly with sympathy in his eyes.

"But the county lord, although this poison is powerful, but the old minister is incompetent, it does not mean that it must be incomprehensible. Isn't there still that gentleman? ”

Since the last time I saw Mr. Yiyuan save Xiangfang, Mrs. He really admired that miracle doctor, and when he mentioned it at this time, he still had a faint look of antidisciplinary.

Xiang Tao said that he had asked Xiang Ying to go to the Chu Palace. After a while, Xiangying returned.

It's just brought back, but it's not good news.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu is not here, and the people in the Chu Palace's Mansion said that Mr. Yiyuan had gone out of the city yesterday in order to dispense medicine to the Queen Mother, and went into the mountains and wilderness, neither knowing where the person is, nor knowing when he will be able to come back!"

However, Mrs. Huan's poison can't wait.

Xiang Tao sat on the edge of the bed, looking sluggish.

He silently touched Mrs. Huan's hand and held it tightly, Pei Yaowei took this scene into his eyes, and his heart was unmoved.

The prince of Jiyang County is a minister, gentle and frugal, and famous; As a father, he at least taught children like Min Dai and Xiang Ying; As for being a husband......

Her gaze fell on Mrs. Huan, who was pale and purple-lipped, and she was inappropriately envious.

When I was losing my mind, I suddenly heard a sentence from beside me: "Father, let me try." ”

Looking up, the one who spoke was Xiangyao.

It turns out that this second son still understands medical skills......

Xiang Tao looked at him for a while, and Xiang Ying also said: "Father, Mrs. Huan's life is at stake, let the second brother try!" ”

Xiang Tao finally silently gave way to a position.

Xiang Yao borrowed Imperial Physician He's medicine box to diagnose the pulse and take blood, and after some tinkering, his face also changed.

Xiangying asked, "Second brother, how is it?" ”

"Yes...... The poison of the spotted frog. ”

Xiang Yao said this very difficult, even if the poison was not given by him, but it is an indisputable fact that the colorful frog was brought back to the dust capital.

Xiang Tao looked at him coldly, and before Xiang Ying could speak, he hurriedly asked, "Can the second brother solve it?" ”

Xiang Yao met his father's gaze and shook his head, with regret in his eyes.

He said: "This poison is extinct in the south, and the Shen family has spent a lot of money to find a solution, but nothing has been found. ”

After a moment of silence, Xiang Tao suddenly smiled.

"You bring that thing back...... How do you want to? Unraveling this strange poison? He said, with a murderous aura in his eyes, "Do you want to be Zhao Xian?" ”

Zhao Xian. Hearing this name, Pei Yao's heart suddenly moved.

"Father," she pondered for a moment, breaking the tension between father and son, and said uncertainly, "if it is the poison of the spotted frog...... My daughter may want to give it a try. ”

When she said this, everyone present seemed to be listening to a joke except for Xiang Ying.

But even though it was a joke, Xiang Tao finally allowed her to try.

After all, other than that, it's just waiting for death.

Pei Yaowei sat in front of the desk, recalling the detoxification method recorded in the codex of her uncle, and held back for two hours before the prescription and acupuncture method were silently revealed.

When Imperial Physician He saw her prescription, he shouted that it was unusable, but after Xiang Yao speculated repeatedly, he said that he could give it a try.

"That's it, it's okay, you have to try again." Xiang Tao made a decision, "Doctor He, I implore you to borrow two medical women to give needles to the clumsy thorns." ”

Pei Yaowei was also a little panicked in her heart - it wasn't that she couldn't believe her uncle's medical skills, but that recipe had already been seen by her more than ten years ago, and even if she could say it now, she didn't dare to conclude that it was not bad at all.

"Juan Niang, you come out with me."

The needle and medication in the inner room were arranged, and Xiang Tao kept watch every inch, Pei Yao simply called Juan Niang out and confirmed with her that Mrs. Huan had eaten the things she had used this day.

"Mrs. got up in the morning and had a bad appetite, she didn't even drink saliva, and then she went to Xiyuan, so she only used a cup of tea, and she came back like this!"

Pei Yaowei was not surprised by this answer, she thought about it, and was about to call Cunyu to come over for questioning, but Xiangying had already called someone over to her first.

She was stunned, then smiled at Xiangying and thanked her.

Xiangying looked at her silently for a while, then turned around and called Xiangyao outside the house to talk.

Pei Yao asked Cunyu a few words, and then said: "That pot of tea is served by you, since you said that the second brother has never drunk it, then you can't rule out the possibility that that that pot of tea is poisonous." …… Don't be afraid, think about it carefully, boiling water, taking tea leaves, and choosing tea utensils, can there be any strange things in this step? ”

Cun Yushi was saved by her, and he was grateful, but he was also relaxed at this time for her, and after thinking about it, his eyes suddenly moved.

"Now that I think about it, the water for cooking tea ...... It wasn't the slaves who cooked it themselves! ”

A moment later, Pei Yaowei pushed open the door and saw the two brothers standing under the porch, not knowing what they were saying.

"Third brother," she approached and said to Xiang Ying, "Little sister has a few words I want to talk to the second brother, I don't know if it is convenient at this time?" ”

Xiangying and Xiangyao glanced at each other, then turned around to go in, and when they passed by her, they reminded softly: "It's cold, go in early." ”

Pei Yao was stunned for a moment, and said yes slowly.

Xiangyao asked her, "What do you say?" ”

Pei Yaowei walked up to him and stood side by side with him, "I thought that the second brother would be embarrassed by me for the sake of the past, but now it seems that it is my villain's heart." ”

Before, although she was jealous of Xiang Yao and afraid that he would make trouble, she didn't think that he did these two things.

The thing about the colorful frog, what she was angry about was that the second son was holding such a thing in his hand, but he was not optimistic about it, giving people with a heart an opportunity to take advantage of. And when he was in front of Mrs. Huan's bed, Doctor He couldn't distinguish the name of poison, he could obviously deceive the past, but he still told the truth, just this practice, it was not a villain's doing.

It can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, and she is a lot more relaxed in the face of Xiangyao at this time.

Her words surprised Xiang Yao, and he laughed, "It's just that these two times were not done by me, but you believe that I can be at peace with you?" ”

Pei Yaowei smiled faintly, didn't answer this sentence, and only said: "It's not bad for you to do these two times, but second brother, when you didn't come back, there weren't so many things." ”

Xiang Yao's eyes narrowed: "What do you mean?" ”

She gathered her cloak, sighed lightly, and said, "I mean, the mastermind behind the scenes is either coming for the two of us, or, they are also borrowing your hand to deal with me and Nanyuan." Second brother, you can think about it, once something happens to me and you are implicated, His Royal Highness the King of Chu will give up for the sake of face. ”

"You don't have to say that." After a while, he said in a deep voice, "I'll find out." ”

What Pei Yaowei wanted was what he said.

She said: "In this way, it depends on the second brother." ”

With that, she turned and went inside.

Behind her, Xiang Yao suddenly asked: "But you have so many enemies, even if you can successfully marry into the Chu Palace, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have a good life." ”

Pei Yao's footsteps paused, and after a while, she seemed to smile softly, and said lightly: "I'm used to it." ”
