Aunt Jade is dead, she died from the poison that bit through her teeth.
No one expected that there was poison hidden under Aunt Yu's teeth. They watched helplessly as black blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, her body fell back, her hands and feet twitched twice and became motionless.
A guard came forward, checked his nose, and reported to Feng Lanxiu: "Your Majesty, he is dead."
Feng Lanxiu frowned.
There was a "plop" from behind. Jin Yu's face turned pale with fright, and she fell to the ground in a trembling ball. The pull on Yu Yuxi's legs pushed her down, and Yu Yuxi fell off the chair. Feng Lanxiu hurriedly grabbed her.
Yu Yuxi's legs still fell off the chair and hit the corner of the chair hard. Yu Yuxi, who fainted from the pain, moved a little, groaned softly, and woke up leisurely.
"This slave deserves to die, this slave deserves to die." Jin Yu was so panicked that she didn't care about the death of Aunt Yu in front of her, and begged in a low voice.
"What's...what's going on?" Yu Yuxi said softly. Her head was facing the roof and she didn't notice anything happened.
"Master Marquis, I have something to do with Concubine Yu, so I will go back first." Feng Lanxiu stood up, half helping and half holding Yu Yuxi.
"Your Majesty, please excuse me." Yu Ruiwen was silent for a moment and didn't leave anyone alone.
Feng Lanxiu waited for a moment, and when he saw that Yu Ruiwen had nothing to say to Yu Yuxi, his eyes became more and more serious, and he turned around and asked Jin Yu to help Yu Yuxi leave.
When it was time to leave, Yu Yuxi hadn't noticed Aunt Yu lying on the ground, so she woke up and looked like she was still awake.
Yu Xijiao watched quietly as Yu Yuxi left with a confused and uneasy look on her face, her hands tightly holding the corner of Prince Duan's clothes, as if she really didn't know anything until now.
A sneer flashed in his eyes. Yu Yuxi was very scheming. She had fainted when something was about to happen. Now she woke up and found that Aunt Yu was dead. No matter how much she checked, she couldn't find anything. She probably had figured it out by now.
All things must be pushed to Aunt Yu.
However, this matter is also a mystery. Aunt Jade actually used to hide poison. How could an ordinary servant woman have such a thing?
"Master Hou, please spare my life."
"Master Marquis, please spare my life." Seeing Aunt Yu die directly in front of them, Hongxing and her mother-in-law were paralyzed with fear.
"Come here, kill these two with a stick." Yu Ruiwen said sternly.
"Father, wait a minute." Yu Xi stopped her softly, pointed at Hongxing and said, "Can Hongxing be handled by my daughter?"
"This despicable girl..." Yu Ruiwen was so angry that he almost said the wrong thing.
"Let Xi'er handle this girl's matter." An and the eldest princess spoke.
"Okay." Yu Ruiwen had to agree and had the mother-in-law be pulled out and killed with a cane. Even if Mrs. Qian was no longer the wife, she must still be the honorable lady of Hou. If several servants were allowed to abuse her to this extent, the whole of Xuanping would be embarrassed.
The face of the Hou Mansion, and this matter cannot be made public.
Yu Xijiao left with Hongxing, but she had to keep this maid. With such a maid in hand, Yu Yuxi's affairs were in her own hands.
She killed her biological mother just to get a chance to enter the palace first. Yu Yuxi, a daughter, was so ruthless that she could kill her own biological mother.
Yu Yuxi followed Feng Lanxiu out of the mansion. Halfway through, she thought of Mrs. Qian: "Your Majesty, I asked Jin Yu to tell grandma. She may be waiting for me. Grandma must know about this matter."
She seemed to have just recovered now, and what happened next was unclear. She was just a filial granddaughter.
Feng Lanxiu looked at her deeply, then nodded and ordered: "Call Concubine Xu over when you go."
Xu Anjiao is still in the mourning hall.
Jin Yu hurriedly responded and left with a pale face. Feng Lanxiu took Yu Yuxi to the carriage first. Yu Yuxi walked slowly, and Feng Lanxiu didn't rush him, but he didn't speak either. There was a special silence between the two of them. When they got to the carriage,
Not long after we got there, Xu Anjiao hurried over with four maids.
When he saw Feng Lanxiu, his eyes turned red: "Your Majesty."
"Get in the car first!" Feng Lanxiu said coldly.
Seeing him like this, Xu Anjiao didn't dare to make any more trouble, so she got on the carriage obediently, and then the carriage returned to Prince Duan's Mansion.
Arriving at the door of the mansion, Xu Anjiao rarely said anything. She took a deep look at Yu Yuxi who was extremely weak, and then excused herself to Feng Lanxiu.
Then she left with the four maids. She was really shocked. No matter how courageous she was, she had never seen such a thing? The Xuanping Marquis Mansion was so hated that people treated it like this. She came here just now.
At that time, Feng Lanxiu also asked her to silence her and not to talk about it again.
But how could she not say this? Sitting in her room, the more Xu Anjiao thought about it, the more panicked she became. The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. That scene scared her so much that she had nightmares in the next few days, and she couldn't even afford to compete with Yu Yuxi for favor.
things.
Compared with Xu Anjiao who was frightened to death, Yu Yuxi's reaction was just crying, and she cried like a tearful person.
Weeping so weakly, Feng Lanxiu had already filled in the second half of the story that she "didn't know".
Feng Lanxiu's eyes fell suspiciously on Yu Yuxi. He saw her crying like this without saying a word. If Yu Yuxi was like this in the past, Feng Lanxiu would definitely comfort her early.
"My lord, is it really Aunt Jade? I... don't believe it." Yu Yuxi cried for a while and then raised her eyes to look at Feng Lanxiu. Her eyes were sad and painful, and she reached out to cover her chest, as if she would faint in the next moment.
.
"There are both human and physical evidence." Feng Lanxiu said.
"But... why, my grandmother was not kind to Aunt Yu, and my mother was not kind to... her. Why would she harm her mother like this?" Yu Yuxi was in so much pain that the person she trusted the most would do this to her biological mother.
Everyone will suffer from things like this.
"Who do you think is behind Aunt Yu?" Feng Lanxiu asked, no one could think that Aunt Yu was the last person.
"I don't know, I... I really don't know. Aunt Yu is such a good person. My grandmother took care of me a lot when I was young. The prince knows that my grandmother doesn't like me very much. She has been like this since I was a child. I...
The only elders are my grandmother, grandmother, and Aunt Jade... Aunt Jade is a very good person. She watched me grow up, and she also watched my mother grow up."
Yu Yuxi cried.
When Aunt Yu's incident came out, she was also panicked. She never expected that things would get to this point. She could only have an idea at that time and save herself first. But what she didn't expect was that Aunt Yu actually died, and she was still alive.
She died from poison. Where did she get the poison? Why did she hide it under her teeth...
She knew that the whole thing was on Aunt Yu, and she even felt that Feng Lanxiu was suspicious of her.
The watery eyes looked at Feng Lanxiu, with a stubborn look on his face that refused to believe it: "Your Majesty, please take me back to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion and let me ask clearly. This is not true. It cannot be true.
Yes, how could such a good person like Aunt Yu harm my mother and do such a thing?"
She seemed to be a pure and kind-hearted woman who never believed that her elders would do such a thing. Even though there were both human and physical evidence, she still wanted real evidence.
This is in line with the behavior of ordinary people after hearing such news. Because they don’t know anything, they put too much faith in the people around them, believing that they would not do such a thing.
Seeing him like this, Feng Lanxiu's eyes softened slightly: "It is indeed impossible for a mother-in-law to do such a thing. There is someone behind her, who wants to deal with your mother...or your grandmother."
Feng Lanxiu also hesitated at the last sentence. He didn't know where to start investigating this matter now. Is it related to Mrs. Qian?
If it is related, how could Mrs. Qian harm her own daughter? I heard that Mrs. Qian loves this daughter very much, is obedient to her daughter, and is very beloved. At the beginning, she not only looked down on her face for the sake of her daughter's marriage,
The request was made to the residence of Marquis Xuanping, so that Marquis Xuanping had to marry her as an equal wife.
But if it doesn’t matter, Aunt Yu is the most important personal lady around Mrs. Qian. Does Mrs. Qian really know nothing about what this mother-in-law does?
"To deal with grandma? Isn't she - isn't she the most intimate mother-in-law of grandma? Could it be that she was sent here by someone else, or that she was bribed... to... deal with grandma?" Yu Yuxi raised her red and swollen face in surprise.
Eyes, "She...she has served her grandmother for so many years, why did she do this?"
As he spoke, he had already defined Aunt Yu as someone who had ulterior motives to deal with Mrs. Qian.
"Your grandmother...is there nothing wrong?" Feng Lanxiu said in a deep voice.
"My grandma has always been in poor health...how could anything happen and she would be considerate to the people around her? How could there be someone like Aunt Yu who would... harm my grandma." Suddenly his eyes froze and he said suddenly,
"Could it be that grandma broke her leg this time because... of Aunt Jade?"
Thinking of this possibility, he raised his head in panic and looked at Feng Lanxiu, as if he wanted to find comfort from him.
Mrs. Qian's leg was injured from a fall. Feng Lanxiu knew about this. It was because of the injured leg that she couldn't go to the backyard to listen to Xuan Pinghou's inquiry about the matter, so he asked himself to bring Aunt Yu over.
Thinking of this, Feng Lanxiu couldn't help but become suspicious. Could it be that he was really overthinking and someone was really eyeing Mrs. Qian?
But what is there to keep an eye on the wife of a minister? Or, can Mrs. Qian be extended to herself?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my chest. The affairs of the Xuanpinghou Mansion have been suppressed now. There are only a few people who know about the matter. I won't tell it, and neither will Mrs. Qian or Xuanpinghou.
explain.
So...who is it?
Are they from the second brother, the third brother, or really from the Southern Tang Dynasty? Of course, they may also be from the vassal king?
When I think about it, I have more suspicions. It's not just one person, I even feel that it is possible for anyone. Someone is deliberately using this matter to throw things at me, and I have always been the only one to deal with.
Feng Lanxiu thought for a while, but the scope was too broad. Looking at Yu Yuxi's appearance, he knew that he wouldn't be able to ask anything for a while, and would have people investigate secretly.
"Yuxi, why is it that even Marquis Xuanping looks like this to his concubine? He doesn't seem to be close to her, and he didn't even say a word when the concubine left?" After calming down, Feng Lanxiu asked what he wanted to ask the most.
After saying a word, his eyes fell firmly on Yu Yuxi's face, examining her expression. Just now in the Xuanpinghou Mansion, he felt that there was something related to Yu Yuxi, and that Xuanpinghou's attitude was wrong...
