Ye Xu thought for a moment, agreed, and lovingly tucked the broken hair on her forehead behind her ears.
"Okay, I will go to my classmates to borrow money tomorrow. There is already a curfew outside, so tonight..."
The lonely man and the widow were in the same room, and the atmosphere was slightly ambiguous. Jiang Yun knew what he was thinking and refused: "Master Ye, the slave family's sale deed is still in the hands of others. When you redeem the slave family, the slave family will be at your disposal.
…”
Ye Xu just hugged her and tried to restrain herself.
It was precisely because of this that Jiang Yun felt at ease and decided that he was a gentleman and someone worth trusting for life.
…
Si Yiluo did not return home tonight and waited until Song Yehe came back from Prince Yu's Mansion.
"How about it, His Highness Prince Yu's poison won't be a problem, right?"
Song Yehe ran for a day and his mouth was dry. He ignored the etiquette and picked up the teapot and filled it half full.
"Sir, the poison in His Highness Prince Yu is a bit strange. I heard from the imperial doctor that the poison in His Highness Prince Yu seems to be poison, but I can't tell what kind of poison it is. It will only slowly empty the body and make people feel weak.
But it won’t kill you.”
At first glance, it sounds very similar to His Royal Highness Prince Lu’s illness, but...
"But His Royal Highness Prince Yu was not feeling well yesterday, so he took the elixir he obtained from Qingyun Temple on his own. He took the elixir in the evening, and it was not until midnight that he began to feel pain. After midnight, His Highness Prince Yu began to vomit blood."
"Xiaguan went to Qingyun Temple again, and now that I have returned, this is an elixir. According to the temple owner of Qingyun Temple, each guest who goes to ask for the elixir can only ask for one bottle a month. His Highness Prince Yu
I went to seek the elixir in early March, and it was recorded in the meditation."
Qingyun Temple is located in the deep mountains outside the city. He ran back and forth in half a day, and he was already very fast.
There were cinnabar-colored pills in the celadon bottle. Si Yiluo put it under her nose and smelled it. She was not an imperial physician and could not tell what ingredients it contained, but there was a high probability that nothing could be found in these pills.
"His Royal Highness Prince Yu had just fallen asleep after drinking medicine when I came to visit today. Tomorrow I will come again to interrogate the servants in the palace."
Si Yiluo took out a pill from the porcelain bottle, returned the rest to him, and said, "I'll go there with you tomorrow. It's getting late, so take a rest early."
Song Yehe said yes and left the room without going home. He just stayed in the Yamen all night.
Si Yiluo thought of Qixi, and Zhou Yu's actions made her feel wary, so she decided to go to the prison to see him.
None of the prisoners imprisoned in prison can withstand the punishment, and after the punishment, the jailer only helps to deal with it briefly. Life or death is a matter of life.
Qixi was also sentenced. The cell where he was imprisoned was pitch dark, and no sound could be heard except the prisoner's breathing.
After opening the iron chain that locked the door, the jailer held a torch and went in. The airtight cell was full of putrid smell, and the man lying on the ground was covered in blood and motionless.
Si Yiluo frowned. Without any instructions, the jailer skillfully reached out and felt for the pulse on the prisoner's neck.
"Sir, he's not dead yet, but the prisoner has a fever. If he doesn't take medicine, he won't survive until tomorrow."
The weather is getting hotter, and the rancid smell in the cell cannot be dissipated, which can easily lead to plague.
"Take him out and clean him up, then get some white ash and sprinkle it in each cell. Clean the dead prisoners out in time to avoid causing other diseases."
The jailer called two people to come in and carry Qixi out. Si Yiluo went to inspect other cells and took a long breath after walking out into the fresh air.
The advantage of spending the night in the yamen is that you don't have to get up too early the next morning, but Si Yiluo still woke up early. After the court, Song Yehe had already gone to Prince Yu's Mansion.
When she arrived, Song Yehe was leading a few people to interrogate the servants.
"His Royal Highness Prince Yu is already awake." He reminded in a low voice, "But Sir, you'd better go in for a visit later. It's hard for an upright official to interrupt household affairs..."
He pointed inside, and Si Yiluo glanced sideways at him. After it was revealed that Zhou Yu had drugged Shen Moran, he hooked up with Cui Tingting overnight. She had known this news for a long time, and even knew that it was Shen Moran's plan.
The purpose is to bring those people who disgusted her in the past life together to torture each other.
Although she doesn't like to watch the excitement, she is still happy to see Zhou Yu's excitement. She wants to see if Zhou Yu can still be as comfortable as a fish in water like in his previous life without Shen Moran helping him take care of the back house...
"The lower official talks too much..."
Song Yehe continued to stare at the people in the interrogation house, while Si Yiluo stepped forward.
The voice in the room was Shen Mingshu's angry accusation.
"Cui Tingting, you stewed the medicinal meal for His Highness, and His Highness's poisoning was also related to you. Before you entered the house, His Highness was always fine. Why did His Highness get poisoned as soon as you came? What are you worried about?"
Next came the voice of Aunt Kong defending Cui Tingting.
"Princess, why don't you just say that the slaves want to murder His Highness? The slaves brought the medicinal recipes from the palace. What does it have to do with Aunt Cui? Even the empresses of each palace often have these medicinal recipes stewed in the kitchen and presented to the emperor. ,The masters in the palace are all well now..."
Cui Tingting sobbed at the right time and said: "It's all because of my bad health. Princess, please don't be angry with yourself. Your Highness is the most important priority... Your Highness's body is the most important. You can hit or scold me, you can punish me in any way. Don't disturb Your Highness." of purity.”
Zhou Yu was sitting on the bed with the quilt on his back. Watching the two of them going back and forth and noisy, he felt an unbearable headache.
Shen Mingshu was about to explode. She pointed at Cui Tingting and said, "I deserve to punish you. Don't talk nonsense in front of His Highness, as if this princess is unreasonable and tortures my concubine for no reason to vent her anger..."
Aunt Kong knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Highness, you should just drive this old slave out of the house. My aunt is innocent..."
Zhou Yu suddenly started coughing, and the medicine he had just drank surged out. Cui Tingting hurriedly picked up the spittoon, but was pushed away by Shen Mingshu. The spittoon fell to the ground and broke into pieces. Zhou Yu endured it for a while and then swallowed back the medicine that had surged up.
His face turned red and purple from holding back.
"Stop pretending to be a good person here, this is my princess's residence, do you need to serve me?"
Zhou Yu was speechless and grabbed her wrist.
Shen Mingshu felt that his hand grabbing her wrist was like a pliers, which made her wrist hurt, but she could only endure it, and asked with concern on her face: "Your Highness, Your Highness, how are you? What's wrong with you? Ah Lian, hurry up, hurry up Go and call the imperial doctor!"
Zhou Yu took a breath, grabbed her arm and threw her out hard.
He was so angry that he pointed his finger at her.
"You, get out!"
Shen Mingshu fell on the broken porcelain. The palm of her hand was cut by the broken porcelain and was bleeding. When she moved, she found that her knee was also broken, and there was burning pain everywhere.
"Your Highness..."
Ever since Cui Tingting entered the palace, she had been holding back her anger. She was looking for Cui Tingting everywhere because her father was the prime minister. Cui Tingting did not dare to resist, and Zhou Yu never stood up for her, which made her feel complacent. feel.
Zhou Yu is now banned from the house. If he wants to get out, he must rely on the power of the prime minister's house. At this time, he does not dare to offend her!
I didn't expect that I would be humiliated today.
Si Yiluo stopped at the door. Shen Mingshu looked up and saw her looking at her embarrassment with a mocking look on her face. She felt that she had lost all face and her blood rushed upward. She got up from the ground and pointed at Zhou Yu and said: "How dare you fight Zhou Yu?"
Me? My father is the prime minister! If you want to get out of the palace, you have to rely on my father. Today you beat me for this bitch?"
"Just stay in this house with this bitch for the rest of your life -"
