The next day after his birthday, it was another day and a night, and the eastern suburbs of the garden did not care about the world and ignored the troubles at twelve o'clock, and he was lazy and waited for the sunrise in the lonely pavilion; In front of the soup stove, sit and watch the warblers and birds play in the shade.

The morning light was long, and the red candle light was cold, and it was time to return to the city.

The two took advantage of the heavy dew in the early morning, the sun was not yet hot, and they walked under the willows of the lake lake, and they both secretly hated that time was too fast.

Today, Yuzhou is resting, and I have inquired about it early.

Since Yu Feng returned from Jizhou, every birthday, Yu Zhou has remembered it in his heart, and he can't forget a "congratulatory gift", of course, it doesn't make people feel happy.

But this year, Yu Feng unprecedentedly "expected" his second brother to come to Guan Suiyuan, and said that insincere birthday happiness.

Before boarding the car and returning to the city, Gray Du got the opportunity to report what happened in the "world" one day - the assassin of Lu Jian was caught on the same day, and he was a "Jianghu killer". Shuntian Mansion Yin has already captured Zhu Qian, but because the matter involves the clan and courtiers, the case was transferred to the Criminal Department, and the three divisions of Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will be tried.

Last night, Zhu Qianqian tried to bite his tongue and commit suicide in prison, but he tried to do so, but he was still breathing, but he had lost his voice and could not defend himself.

Lu Jian's injury was critical, Qin Xiang paid special attention to it, and invited the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat Lu Jian, and went to a famous hospital to judge, but he was unable to return to the sky, after seeing the injury, he shook his head and sighed again and again, and immediately invited Jiang Han to go, Lu Jian's family heard that it was the doctor who was specially invited by the prince, and did not refuse, but Jiang Han was only fifty percent sure, Lu Jian was unconscious at the moment, and he was still in danger.

Many people witnessed the beginning and end of the case, and they did not know that it was the intricacies of it, and they heard that it was the dereliction of duty officials who did evil things in order to take revenge on the prince of Chu.

But of course, some people in the court knew more than the people, and they all shook their heads secretly - how bold was Zhu Qian? dared to buy murder in broad daylight and at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the assassin was still arrested by the guards, but he still confessed, and Zhu Qian attempted suicide, but he was speechless and couldn't defend himself, what results can the three divisions try to judge? There are many subtleties in it, which make people secret.

There was a lot of discussion outside, but he didn't enter the high-walled and deep mansion, at least in the Chu Wang's Mansion involved, it was still calm.

Sizheng, the rib is embroidering the sachet on the edge of the kang to avoid the sun, Dongyu watched from the side, and kept praising the needle and thread: "I'm not afraid of my sister's jokes, I'm the most clumsy on this, don't talk about these fine things, even if you nail a buckle are crooked, my sister is so good at crafting, I think that the next life should be worn by my sister in the past?" ”

"Where can I be, there is a special embroidery room in the palace, and the embroidery girl in it is from the palace, and she is skillful."

The two were gossiping about the needlework, and as soon as the dark blue curtain was lifted, Xia Ke walked in with a smile.

Winter rain and ribs both got up to greet each other.

"The prince and the princess are coming back?" It was the ribs that were questioned.

"Shizi Ming'er is going to the court, and it is inconvenient to live in another garden today, so I went back to the house while it was cool in the early morning, and asked about the snow water harvested in winter, and I was about to open it out to cook tea, and Sister Rib knew where it was buried, and I asked you to send an urn to the vestibule." Xia Ke regarded the winter rain as transparent, but politely instructed the ribs.

Dong Yu never thought that the prince would use snow water today, his heart was hanging in his throat, half nervous and half excited, seeing Xia Ke turn around and go out after speaking, twisting his fingers to suppress the tremor in his voice, but the corners of his lips still twitched slightly: "I'll go with my sister, so I can help." ”

Rib seemed to hesitate for a moment, so he didn't stop it, and went to Qingxuelu with Dongyu, and didn't pay attention to the corner of Dongyu's slightly slanted eyes, and before picking up the curtain, he glanced at the sour-branched wooden low-leg cabinet on the edge of the kang.

Qingxuelu is located in the back garden, from the west corner door leading to the inner house in the opposite direction, a circle of plum is planted on the side, at this time there are no flowers naturally, but a few Qionghua flowers under the wide eaves bloom just right, and the talent is more than ten steps away, you can feel the fragrance of the fragrance.

The snow water does not need to be hidden, the floating soil is very obvious, the winter rain helped the rib to open a thin layer of mud, and saw a stoneware round altar below, the white porcelain urn containing the snow water is inside, the rib half kneeling out, let the winter rain still cover the thin soil on the clay altar, and move to the clear snow house, put the porcelain urn on the clean stone case, uncover the blue and white porcelain plate of the inverted urn, and see that the layer of oil paper sealed at the bottom is intact, and even a thin silver thread that he carefully rests on the inside as a mark is still there, and his heart is slightly sunny- This girl is a careful person, if it weren't for Aunt Li who witnessed her poisoning at night, she wouldn't have been able to see that someone had done it.

Outside the house, the winter rain man squatted and used a flower hoe to pull the soil, and the dripping eyes glanced at the rib from time to time, seeing that she unconsciously held the white porcelain urn in her arms and came out, and confessed to go to the vestibule first, and the heart hanging in her throat finally fell back to its original place, still beating "Peng Peng" sound, but excitement and anticipation have filled her chest.

In order to avoid suspicion, Dongyu did not return to the small courtyard where Rib lived and went to the atrium, and specially called a little maid to fetch water to wash her hands, and pretended to have a casual chat with a few mothers-in-law, talking and laughing, but saw Hu Xuan, who was sent by her on the same roof, came over, and asked: "Can you see Sister Chundu?" The princess asked her to find out the set of bluegrass and jasper tea bowls given by the Queen Mother and sent them to the vestibule to the prince, saying that it was received by Sister Chundui, and I looked for a circle and saw no one. ”

Dong Yu's body stiffened, his waist was almost twisted violently, and he looked at Hu Xuan with trembling lips: "Which Erlang?" ”

"Which Erlang, who is in our house, but it just so happens that he is resting today, and he made a special trip to send a birthday gift to the prince, and he is in the tea room in the vestibule." Hu Xuan flashed his big eyes and said, "Winter rain can see Sister Chundui?" ”

The voice fell, but I saw the winter rain rushing away, stumbling and running to the front garden, the mother-in-law and a few maids who still had their heads were stunned, but Hu Xuan slapped his forehead: "I'm confused, I'll eat soon, Sister Chundui should go to the kitchen." ”

In the tea room in the front garden, the porcelain urn containing snow water has been opened by ribbing, the green pot has been placed on the tea stove, and he is waiting for the soup. Leave it to the maids. ”

"Out of the way." Yu Feng smiled faintly, pinched the teaspoon with his slender fingers, and dialed the tea leaves into the jasper tea lotus, because the tea cup had not yet arrived, he put the tea lotus in the tea tray for the time being.

Today's preparation is the dragon well before the rain, the soup only needs to boil a little like a fish, but it is not good, only listen to a messy and hasty pace, the maid in the blue dress and green skirt almost fell directly from the threshold.

The rib standing on the side looked at the sweaty and panting winter rain in "surprise", and secretly looked at the prince who frowned slightly and seemed to be dissatisfied, and Erlang Yuzhou, who raised half of his eyebrows, spread his phoenix eyes obliquely, and slightly clenched into a fist on his knees, looked solemn on his face, his voice was not high, and he only scolded in a deep voice: "Why is it so rude?" ”

Dongyu didn't care about being polite at this time, seeing that the deadly snow water had been opened, the paleness on his face was so pale that his lips were colorless, and he knelt down: "Shizi, this water can't be used." ”

Idiot!

It was Yu Zhou who came back to his senses and realized what had happened, and there was a tension at the root of his hair, and he endured it so that he didn't complain - this idiot, since he found an opportunity to poison, why didn't he say a word from the ward? If she knew that she had already succeeded, she would not have come to Guan Sui Yuan today anyway to make a fool of herself, and she would have fallen short, and the more important thing now is how to expose this article.

Yu Feng was still unfazed, and he didn't even raise his eyelids: "How do you say this?" ”

Dongyu was frustrated and annoyed in her heart, and of course there was a touch of nervousness, but at this time, she still thought that she could get through with her clever tongue, raised her eyes and glanced at Rib, gritted her teeth and said: "Just now, the slave and the rib opened this water together, although the rib avoided the house, but the slave and the maid inadvertently saw that she shook something off in the water, and the slave and maid were afraid...... Rib is going to poison the son! ”

In order not to let his sweetheart die in vain, Dongyu was also allowed to go out, desperately fighting the grass and startling the snake, and there was no chance to start, so he had to let Rib take the blame first.

When Yu Feng heard this, he rolled the corners of his lips and looked at Yu Zhou: "Let the second brother laugh, I don't want such a scandal to happen." ”

Yu Zhou listened to Dongyu's words at this time, and realized that she still had a plan in her heart, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and also learned the appearance of a faint style and a calm appearance: "If there are people who have evil intentions and want to do evil things, it is better for the eldest brother to interrogate and understand." glanced at Rib Weave, and then glanced at Dong Yu, and seemed to be suspicious: "But Rib has been the eldest brother's maid since she was a child, and she is the daughter of Mama Xie, how can she have a bad heart." ”

Yu Feng also shook his head, still not looking at Dongyu: "I don't believe it." ”

"Shizi, it is really the slave who saw it with her own eyes...... Ribbed her because of the ...... "Dong Yu didn't finish speaking, but when she saw Yu Feng raise her arm, there was no anger on her face, just a slight solemnity, but it made Dong Yu's heart feel cold, and she was subconsciously silenced.

"This maid is the concubine's dowry, so it's better to invite her over for interrogation." Yu Feng glanced at the ribs.

Rib Wen already understood, curtsied, walked out of the teahouse in a hurry, and instructed the maid who was waiting outside to let her go to the atrium.

Yu Zhou took the opportunity to stare at Dongyu sharply, and silently measured in his heart - although this cheap maid is stupid and reckless, it seems that it is not all useless, but watching coldly, Yu Feng is obviously on the side of the rib, in this way, it may not be dislike with Yijing, there may be a good show to watch today, maybe this maid will be unintentionally inserted into the willow.

But at a moment, Yi Jing came to the teahouse with a solemn face, obviously the maid who had listened to the rumors was careful, greeted each other with Yu Zhou, and bent his knees and bent his knees to Yu Feng to give a blessing: "The concubine has no way to restrain herself, so that she is in danger of causing trouble, and I am deeply ashamed." ”

Yu Feng helped him and smiled lightly: "Some people have ill intentions, what do they have to do with the princess?" ”

Hearing this, Yu Zhou's heart couldn't help but sour water, and seeing the prince and his wife sitting side by side, he had no choice but to hug him: "Since the eldest brother and sister-in-law want to review internal affairs, I may have inconvenience here......"

"The second brother has encountered it, but also listen to this public case, if it is really ribbed with malice, the second brother was almost killed, poisoning the clan is a capital crime, and it will not be forgiven."

At this time, the water on the tea stove was boiling, but no one had the heart to taste the tea right now.

Rib knelt on the side of Dongyu at this time, and still said lightly: "The prince, the princess, the blood of the winter rain, the slave and maid have no intention of doing trouble." ”

Dongyu raised his eyes slightly, touching the cold gaze of Yijing, his heart was cold, his underwear was already wet with sweat, and the whole person subconsciously prostrated down: "The princess, the slave did see the rib pattern fall into the porcelain urn with her own eyes, and I don't know if it is poison, but I feel unsteady in my heart...... Rib Wen complained to the slave maid more than once, saying that the prince treated Miss Jiang coldly and ruthlessly, and did not care about Miss Jiang's life-saving grace, she was friendly with Miss Jiang, and she had a grudge against the prince and the princess for a long time.......

Behind Yijing, there were still two stewards, Mama Xie and Mama Yang, as well as Chun Du and Xia Ke, who were silent at this time, and the winter rain pointed to the ribs.

"According to you, the porcelain vase is still on the ribbed body?" Yijing asked.

Dongyu also had a plan: "The slave maid didn't know, when Rib came out of Qingxuelu, she didn't ask the slave and maid to go with her, and the slave and maid followed her to the atrium, and the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became, and she couldn't help but come to stop her." ”

"The slave and maid have nothing on their bodies that Dongyu calls anything, so they ask to search themselves." Rib said.

Since nothing was found, of course Dongyu would not give up: "The slave maid thought that if the porcelain vase was really poisonous, the rib would not be put on her body, nor would she throw it away, so she could go back to the house first and hide it in the dark." ”

Hearing this, Yu Zhou also thought that Dong Yu must have completed the planting first, raised his eyebrows slightly, and glanced at the rib neatly, although it is stupid for the person who fell to be poisoned to keep the handle in his hand, but under the conclusive evidence of the crime, the rib is also indefensible, "not so stupid" is not an excuse to get away with the crime.

Of course, Yu Zhou didn't want Dong Yu to be guilty, and what he was worried about was naturally that Dong Yu would bite him out for self-preservation, although there was no evidence to do it, Yu Feng couldn't do anything about him, but if he could do less, he would have one less thing, except for Yu Feng's cronies, it would be beneficial to them.

The mother-daughter friendship between Yu Feng and Mama Xie is not ordinary, he should not believe that the rib is poisoned, and he will suspect that Dong Yu is to blame, Dong Yu is the maid of the beautiful scene, so that the husband and wife are not suspicious of each other, and there is little chance to provoke in the future.

As soon as he thought of this, Yu Zhou became more and more tidy, and only watched cautiously, without interjecting.

Yijing instructed again-

"Mama Yang, take Aunt Li and carefully inspect the ribbed house."
