Chapter 142: Drugged
Su Chengcheng silently took a sip of tea and did not continue to speak.
The Gu family is a well-known medical family in Nanye, and Gu Huoyan, as the only heir, can willingly do things for Ye Yutai.
It is conceivable that the forces behind Ye Yutai are definitely stronger than what she sees.
"I heard that your sister-in-law has been very popular in the capital recently." Ye Yutai sat down opposite Su Chengcheng.
Su Chengcheng was slightly surprised, it was only three or four days since the last time someone from Su Mansion came to deliver the news, and there was no mention of these in the letter.
"Isn't she having a bad reputation and is about to have no place in the capital?"
"It seems that the news of the princess is still a little lagging behind, I don't know where she got a large number of rare jewelry and precious cloths, and sent them to those young ladies' mansions one by one."
Su Qingcheng frowned slightly, and Ye Yutai continued.
"Within a few days, the ladies began to invite her to some tea party poetry parties."
Judging from the news recorded by the bustard just now, although the thirteen princes gave Su Ruoxi a lot of jewelry, they were not rich enough to give them away.
"Thank you for telling me the prince, I'll go to Huamanlou in person." Su Chengcheng raised his hand and filled the empty teacup in front of Ye Yutai.
Ye Yutai touched the wall of the cup with his fingers, and the temperature was just right.
"This king has other things to deal with these days, and he may not be in the house from time to time, so you can directly find the bustard who is full of flowers if you have something."
Su Tingcheng was moved in his heart, was he reporting his itinerary to himself?
She felt that the two of them were getting along more and more like ordinary couples......
Flowers are all over the building.
Su Chengcheng waited for a long time before Su Ruoxi and the Thirteen Princes came.
Su Ruoxi still played a song for him first, and the thirteen princes were immersed in the sound of her piano and drank a glass of wine.
Su Qingcheng frowned slightly, there was something wrong with the tune of this song.
After a pillar of incense, the thirteen princes were already drunk and lying on the table.
Su Ruoxi put the guqin back in its place and gently approached the Thirteenth Prince, she was a little worried, didn't she drink too much wine sprinkled with medicinal powder for him in the past few days, and there was something wrong with his body?
She cautiously poked the Thirteenth Prince with her finger: "Your Highness...... Asleep? β
The thirteenth prince got up from the table violently, hugged her in his arms, and his eyes were confused: "This prince hasn't hugged a beauty today, how can he be willing to sleep?" β
"Your Highness, didn't you say that you have been busy dealing with things for His Royal Highness King Yan recently? Won't coming to me every day delay your business? Su Ruoxi was ashamed, and her slender fingers tapped his cheek.
"The fourth brother doesn't know what has gone crazy recently, and he has found me a lot of things to do." His tone contained a little dissatisfaction, and his head was buried in Su Ruoxi's chest.
Su Ruoxi estimated that the effect of the medicine should be approaching: "What has King Yan been busy with lately?" β
"It seems that there is something wrong with the horses in the stable, and there is a backlog of cases in Dali Temple for a long time......," the Thirteenth Prince muttered.
"Your Highness is glad." Su Ruoxi touched his head and hooked the corners of his mouth.
Su Chengcheng, which was separated by a wall, was very surprised.
Did the Thirteenth Prince already trust Su Ruoxi so much? Even the affairs of King Yan were all revealed.
She always felt that things were not so simple, so she turned around and instructed the old bustard who was waiting on the side: "After they leave, don't clean up the room first." β
"Yes."
An hour later.
The old bustard brought two empty wine glasses from the chamber of the Thirteen Princes.
Su Tingcheng scraped the inner wall of the cup with his fingertips and touched some particles.
She looked at the particles carefully, they were transparent, they didn't smell good, and they stuck to the walls of the cup and couldn't be seen with the naked eye.
"Take it down, just rinse it with water."
Since Fu Xingzhou started to deal with King Yan with Su Ruoxi's hand, of course he had to add some firewood to it......

The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.
The emperor sat on the dragon chair and reviewed the recitals.
"It's just too much!" He was so angry that he threw all the piles of folds on the table to the ground and coughed violently.
"Holy Lord, Holy Lord, don't be angry, the dragon body is important!" Gonggong Zhou hurriedly handed over the handkerchief and fanned the emperor on the side.
The emperor coughed incessantly, and when he took the veil away, a bloody stain appeared on it.
Gonggong Zhou knelt down and said in horror: "Oh, Holy Lord, the slave maid went to find Imperial Doctor Gu!" β
"Stop, I'm fine, don't preach!" The Emperor slowed down, gasping for breath slightly.
At this moment, the queen walked in.
"The concubine sees the saint, the summer is hot, and the concubine boiled some mung bean soup for the saint."
The emperor immediately gave Gonggong Zhou a look, and the latter quietly put away the bloody handkerchief.
"The queen has a heart."
The queen glanced at the scattered folds on the ground, patiently squatted down and picked them up one by one, and placed them neatly on the table.
She walked behind the emperor, squeezed his shoulders, and said gently: "Shengshang, the courtiers and concubines don't understand the affairs of the court, and the concubines only hope that the saints can pay more attention to their bodies and be less angry." β
The emperor's heart was soothed a lot, and he took a sip of mung bean soup that was refreshing and relieved of the heat, and closed his eyes and enjoyed it.
"I want to be less angry, but my sons are all worry-free! Look at the fourth, there was a horse plague in the stable, he didn't report it, or the seventh found out that something was wrong and told me. β
"And such a thing?" A trace of contempt crossed the queen's eyes, "The fourth child is not such an irresponsible person on weekdays, he must be too busy and negligent." β
The emperor sneered: "I know that you spoil the child, but the fourth child did something wrong in this matter." β
"Can the horse plague matter be solved? I knew that this plague could be big or small, and it would not be good if it harmed the people. β
"It's solved, Lao Qi said that he has a capable person under him who specializes in treating this incurable disease." The emperor mentioned Fu Xingzhou with a little approval in his tone.
"Lao Qi is indeed a sensible person, the concubine didn't sleep well a few days ago, and he sent me a jade white pillow overnight after hearing about it," the queen praised Fu Xingzhou first, and then immediately changed the topic, "The matter of the horse plague has been solved, why should the saint be angry?" β
"It's not because of the fourth child, there are people making trouble in the Dali Temple he supervises all day long, and his fiefdom is about to become a nest of bandits! His books are almost from my heart palace to the city gate. β
The queen shifted her hand from her shoulder and neck to her head, and her strength slowed down: "The fourth child is probably too much to do, and the concubine heard that there are still many old cases in Dali Temple that have not been dealt with, and he should be very busy, and the fourth child is still a good prince who is responsible and sensible." β
"Hmph, it's better to be like this," the emperor suddenly touched the empress's hand, causing her movements to stop, her eyes became silent, and said tentatively, "What does the empress think, how about letting Lao Qi take over Dali Temple?" β
The queen's heart tightened, her fingers slipped out of the emperor's hand, and she continued to pinch his shoulder, and said casually: "The concubine doesn't want to think about these things, the saint should decide for himself, in the eyes of the concubine, the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat." β
The Emperor closed his eyes again and enjoyed the Queen's massage without saying a word.
