Xiao Yu had no expression on his face, but his ears turned redder, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"That……"
"Sometimes work requires some socializing."
This was the prince's explanation. Xie Songhua pursed his lips and smiled, "You actually answered so honestly! How could I not know? I understand."
This kind of thing has been the same throughout the ages, and it was even more true in ancient times. Especially people in his status could not escape it at all.
Xiao Yu didn't think he needed to explain at first, but he didn't know why he said those two sentences subconsciously.
What I didn't expect was that the girl opposite would show a look of understanding.
What could she know?
He was only brought here once by chance. He remembered that the dishes here seemed to be suitable for her, so he brought her here today.
It seemed as if he had poured a basin of dirty water on his pocket for no reason.
Xie Songhua enjoyed the meal, but Xiao Yu only took a few bites casually.
The mission of the two of them today is over.
After returning to the palace, Xiao Yu went directly to the study.
Xie Songhua returned to the main courtyard.
Aunt Lan was counting Xie Songhua's dowry, checking everything with the dowry list.
Some of them need to be registered and stored in the database, some of them need to be prepared for Xie Songhua to take over at some time, and some of them need to be inquired before they can be dealt with.
Seeing her coming back so early, Aunt Lan was a little surprised, "Did everything go well today?"
Xie Songhua sent everyone who was sweeping away, and then said softly: "The Crown Princess must have been poisoned."
"ah?"
Aunt Lan and Cuiliu looked at each other in confusion when they heard this, "What do you mean? The girl went to the palace, why did she encounter such a thing?"
In fact, this was something she had thought about all along.
As she said, Zhao Mingxi's temperament should belong to the type of person who is relatively sensitive and heavy-minded.
As a woman, such a person is indeed prone to insomnia and endocrine disorders when encountering problems.
If she hadn't specialized in obstetrics and gynecology in her previous life, and if she hadn't worked hard to study the pulses and meridians with Zhuo Yuanshi in this life, she might not have been able to discover it.
People who poison should be very careful, and most likely consult a professional doctor to carefully consider the dosage.
Although the poison was inflicted lightly, if no attention was paid, the princess' body would probably collapse in a year or two. Not only would it be difficult for her to become pregnant, but even if she became pregnant, it would be difficult for her to have a stable pregnancy.
In a few years, I'm afraid I won't even be able to save my own life.
This made her suspicious of Jiang Shuhua.
Now in the entire East Palace, there is only one princess under the crown prince's knees, and then there is the unknown boy in Jiang Shuhua's belly.
If she gave birth to a boy in one fell swoop, she would be considered the eldest son.
If Zhao Mingxi could not give birth to a legitimate son, then her son would be the first in line to succeed her.
But if so...
Why didn't she reduce the dosage of the medicine so that Zhao Mingxi could not be born but would not die from it?
Xie Songhua carefully recalled Jiang Shuhua's expression at that time.
Although she was diagnosing the pulse of the Crown Princess at that time, her attention was actually diverted to Jiang Shuhua who was standing aside.
In fact, she was framed by this person several times when she traveled back in time, making her uncontrollably wary when she saw him.
Jiang Shuhua was indeed a little unhappy and anxious at the time, but it seemed more because she did not see her in time.
Regarding her diagnosis of Zhao Mingxi, Jiang Shuhua did not seem at all panicked or afraid.
Is it because she hides it too well, or is it because she is very confident that her methods are concealed?
Or does Zhao Mingxi's poison really have nothing to do with her?
Seeing both of them looking at him nervously, Xie Songhua said with a smile: "You don't have to look at me so worriedly, I won't interfere in the affairs of the East Palace.
I also said hello to the Imperial Hospital. If the Crown Princess is more alert and uses my prescription, a more alert imperial doctor can also find out the clues."
After saying that, she warned again: "Now that we have entered Prince Chen's Mansion, no matter what happens in the future, you must remember that the first one is me, and the second one is the interests of the Prince's Mansion. If anything happens to the Prince,
There is nothing we can do on our own.”
As he said this, he saw Ding Xiang in the yard, telling Cheng'er to do something, and coming over muttering, with a not very pretty face.
"What's going on?"
"It's not that Fenghuaxueyue!" Aunt Lan said and frowned, "Early this morning, Yinghua went to see the aunt in charge of the palace, and Fufeng came to tell the slave again that since he has arrived at the palace,
These sisters cannot be idlers in the palace, so please come and talk to the girls about what kind of work they can arrange for them."
Ding Xiangzheng walked in, and when he heard them talking, his face became even more annoyed, "That's not all! This morning, when the prince and the girl got up, they still wanted to enter the house to serve! How shameless!"
Seeing how angry she was, she looked like a puffer fish, and Xie Songhua couldn't help but find it funny.
Aunt Lan also smiled, but still reminded: "The four of them are from the palace. I heard that the Fufeng girl was originally the person served by Mrs. Huayang, so we have to show some respect.
But if they get involved in the boudoir affairs between the girl and the prince..."
Probably thinking that the two of them had not consummated their marriage, Aunt Lan became more serious, "The girl and the prince are newly married, which is a critical time for cultivating their relationship. If someone is called in at this moment, they may not be able to live happily together as a couple.
"
Xie Songhua was already thinking about how to get rid of the four of them, but suddenly saw that they were silent and looking at him with worried faces, and he was stunned for a moment.
"Okay, okay, I have my own arrangements for their affairs. Now in the main courtyard, apart from us, there are three third-class maids, and the other ones are people from the palace.
We are new here, so we shouldn’t overdo some things, otherwise we might end up having bad relations with these old people in the palace. Anyway, this is just the beginning, and many things don’t have specific regulations yet. You guys will be responsible for counting my dowry.
, and then secretly and carefully investigate the situation in the mansion."
Although Xiao Yu said that she would live alone in this courtyard from now on, this place was not entirely hers.
Although she entered the palace early today, she also took a rough look at it.
There are no elders in the palace, but the personnel that should be there are not ambiguous at all.
Not only was there a great butler who took charge of the affairs of the inner and outer courtyards, there were also many maids and women who were in charge of the affairs of the inner and outer courtyards.
Taking the main courtyard as an example, there is Aunt Zhu and two maids who are prudent and experienced.
In the morning, Aunt Zhu and her two maids took care of her breakfast, but the rest was left to Aunt Lan and others.
It seemed that these people had been in the palace for many years. It was impossible for her to fire them out directly, but if they were not to her liking or were not loyal to her, she would still have to find a way to get rid of them.
Just as she was talking, Bitao walked in, "Girl, Aunt Zhu and a few maids are outside and want to come in and pay their respects."
Now that you are married, you have to deal with these trivial matters.
I chose this time to come over to see her. Firstly, I gave her half a day to adapt and get a preliminary understanding. Secondly, I didn’t want Xie Songhua to feel neglected.
Xie Songhua was mentally prepared from the beginning, and even asked Aunt Lan to get Feng Hong, who had already prepared it, before being invited in.
