Xie Ping returned to the palace after finishing her work.
Xie Shi'an picked up the powder and walked back to Xie's house. Standing at the door, he heard Xie Shikang crying.
After her grandmother entered the palace, she never came back. Xie Shikang was taken by the old woman, but she couldn't take her well, and she cried day and night.
Xie Shi'an didn't want to face the chaos at home, so he walked to the street, found a medicine shop, and asked the shopkeeper to check what was in the powder.
"This is a refreshing medicine." The shopkeeper closed the paper package, "This package of medicine contains a medicinal ingredient called Zhuzigen, which should be more refreshing."
Xie Shi'an asked: "Is the root of Zhizi poisonous?"
"What kid are you kidding me? The root of the rhizome is extremely expensive. Only wealthy families can afford it." The shopkeeper replied, "Half a penny of silver is enough for ordinary refreshing medicine. This small package can't be bought for fifty or sixty taels." arrive."
Xie Shian lowered his eyes.
Not poisonous?
The queen took so much trouble to just give her a pack of refreshing medicine?
Something is wrong.
But it's not poisonous, so it's easy to put it in King Gongxi's tea.
For him, there is no risk.
King Gongxi drank the cup of drugged tea without realizing it. That afternoon, he was summoned to the palace by the queen.
The queen sat on a chair and lit the incense burner, and a gentle aroma spread in the room.
"Mo'er, didn't you say last time that you wanted to return to the household department? Things are getting better."
The queen was smiling as she spoke, but her heart was full of coldness.
A few days ago, after she sent the 30,000 taels of hush money to Prince Gongxi's palace, her second son immediately wrote a letter asking for her help in returning to the household department.
She knew that as long as Xie Ping was there, the second child would constantly threaten her to do things.
"Thank you very much, Queen Mother."
King Gongxi cupped his hands and thanked him, with a smile on his lips.
Suddenly, he felt a little swollen in his head, and the aroma from the incense burner made him slightly uncomfortable.
But seeing no reaction from others, he had no choice but to endure the discomfort.
At this time, the queen stood up and said, "The room is too stuffy. Mo'er should go with me to the imperial garden for a walk."
King Gongxi also felt it was too boring and agreed immediately.
The two walked to the Imperial Garden, which was full of all kinds of flowers. The messy fragrance hit them, making King Gongxi's breath tighten.
His heart couldn't stop beating wildly, as if it was about to jump out of his chest.
His eyes gradually became a little blurry, and he saw people as double images.
The queen's voice echoed in his ears: "I didn't expect that Meiren Zhou was also in the imperial garden..."
He looked up and saw a woman playing the piano in a pavilion not far away. The sound of the piano was like a magic sound, which made his head almost explode.
He realized something was wrong.
But there is no extra thought to think about.
He just wanted the music to stop, stop immediately.
He rushed towards the pavilion.
When his consciousness gradually returned, he saw Zhou Meiren lying on the ground covered in blood, and he was holding a dagger from nowhere in his hand.
"Mo'er, you, you killed someone." The queen's voice sounded again, "Beauty Zhou is so favored by her, your father will not let you go!"
"Clang!"
King Gongxi threw the dagger to the ground.
Only now did he fully understand that this was a game.
He turned to look at the queen: "You framed me!"
The queen's lips widened with a smile: "Mo'er, how can this be called frame-up? It was indeed you who killed Meiren Zhou, and so many people saw it."
King Gongxi looked around and saw many maids surrounding the pavilion.
There were the maids of Zhou Meiren, the queen's maids, and the little eunuchs who were tending the flowers and plants in the imperial garden.
He stumbled and fell to the ground.
He didn't understand, both he and the queen smelled the incense and listened to the music, why was he the only one who lost his mind...
"I know you are unintentional, Mo'er. I am your legitimate mother, so I have to cover up for you." The queen bent down to help him up, with worry on her face, "Look at you, you are scared. At night Have a good rest, don’t worry about this, be good, and go back.”
Aunt Yin stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I will take you out of the palace."
Chu Mo understood that this was the queen's counterattack.
He also understood that the queen would definitely cover up the matter perfectly, but at the same time, there would be some clues.
The queen smiled coldly and asked someone to deal with the mess.
When the palace maid lifted up Beauty Zhou, she was startled: "My Lady, Beauty Zhou is still alive and not dead..."
The queen glanced over coldly: "I will die if I say so."
"yes……"
The palace maid picked up a handkerchief and covered Zhou Meiren's nose.
Chu Mo returned to Prince Gongxi's palace absentmindedly.
He called the doctor to check his pulse. The doctor looked at him for a long time and then said: "The prince has taken some refreshing drugs. He overdosed and became excited. He just needs to drink more water to eliminate the drugs."
Chu Mo's face was dark.
When did he get tricked?
Someone tested the tea in the palace for poison, so it probably wasn't in the palace.
While he was thinking about it, a servant came to report: "Your Majesty, the Duke's wife is here."
Chu Mo frowned.
He didn't have much contact with the Duke's mansion. Why did the Duke's wife come here? She was a female family member after all. He asked Princess Gongxi to go out to receive her.
But after a while, Princess Gongxi sent someone to invite him to the front yard, saying that the Duke's wife had important matters to discuss.
When Chu Mo was having a secret conversation with the Duke's wife.
Yun Chu and Chu Yi were packing their luggage to go south.
There are not many leisurely times in life. Now, it is a wonderful thing for a family of four to travel together and visit the beautiful mountains and rivers of Dajin.
Just as disputes were raging between the DPRK and China, it was a good choice to stay away from the capital and away from these disputes.
"Mom, when are we leaving?" The two children were very excited.
When they were young, they also traveled to many places, but only to seek medical advice. They were so sick that they had no intention of seeing the beautiful scenery.
"The doctor said that your father will be able to ride a horse the day after tomorrow." Yun Chu said with a smile, "We will set off in the morning the day after tomorrow. We can go to the inn in Lizhuang in the evening. There are some famous delicacies in Lizhuang. We will spend a few days there and then head south. Go slowly, don’t rush.”
Chu Hongyu clapped her hands excitedly: "That's great, that's great. I like to go out and play the most!"
Chu Changsheng tilted his head and asked, "Mom, can I let Xian play with me? I want to be with her."
Chu Hongyu suddenly became unhappy: "Chang Sheng, do you like Xie Xian more than your brother?"
"Of course not." The little girl held her brother's hand, "In my heart, my mother and brother always come first."
Chu Yi poked his head over: "What about being a father?"
The little girl showed her big white teeth and said, "My father is also number one."
Chu Yi: "..."
This word "ye" is very watery.
He paused and said, "How about I arrange for someone to pick up Xie Xian?"
"Father, you are so kind!"
The little girl threw herself into Chu Yi's arms.
Chu Yi held her daughter in one hand and Yun Chu in the other, with a smile on her face.
Chu Hongyu held her chin and said, "In that case, I also want someone to go out with me."
Chu Yi's eyebrows jumped.
This boy likes to fight crickets, and plays well with some noble young men, and they used to often fool around together.
Could it be that you want those bastards to go south with you?
He was just thinking about how to refuse.
I heard my son say: "I want these two gentlemen to accompany me, and I can't delay studying and learning martial arts while on the road."
