Chapter 358 Poisoning
Xia Zihan poured a glass of peach juice for Mrs. Zeng, handed it to her hand, and said, "The Song family is the Song family. Even if the Song family is related to our family, we are not going to do it just because the Song family is having a funeral." The reason for canceling happy events.”
Xia Zihan's words sound reasonable, but...
Mrs. Zeng sighed sadly and said, "That's true, but our Chu family can't stand the words of the world."
"Just don't care about it." Xia Zihan disagreed. "When many families are holding wedding events, they will also encounter one or two relatives holding funerals, but I have never seen any of them cancel the wedding or Another day.”
There are many large families with four generations living under the same roof and many heirs. The in-law relationships are intertwined and intricate, one connected to the other. If you count carefully, each family will have hundreds of relatives.
If you have to cancel your own family's wedding because a relative is having a funeral, then no one's wedding in these wealthy families can be held.
The funerals of the Dasheng Dynasty usually take three or two months to be held. Calculated this way, as long as three or five elders of a relative have passed away within a year, the happy events of these relatives' families will have to be cancelled.
How can this make sense?
It’s not like the immediate elder passed away.
It's not a national mourning.
Who would cancel a happy event at home for a relative?
There is no such truth.
Xia Zihan said again, "The Dongfang family and the Zheng family have been looking forward to this day for a long time. Grandma, if you change the wedding date to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Zheng family's wife will come to you and cry tomorrow." Noisy.”
The wife of the Zheng family is looking forward to having a grandson, and her hair is almost turning gray. How could she agree to the Qi family changing their lives again and again?
Maybe, if the Zheng family's wife gets angry, the marriage will be canceled.
Worried that Mrs. Zeng would continue to be too tired to eat, Xia Zihan advised, "Grandma, you have done enough for the Song family. You are worthy of your aunt. I believe that my aunt has a spirit underground, and she also Will know.”
The Song family has few servants. In these two funerals, Zeng sent more than ten maids and women to help. Manager Lu was also sent to help from time to time. Not counting this, Zeng also sent out Half of the funeral expenses.
Wasn't all this done for the Song family by her grandmother for little Zeng's sake?
According to the Song family's attitude towards her grandmother, if her grandmother could do this for the Song family, she was already worthy of the Song family and the little Zeng family.
"The fact that the Song family has come to this day is all Song Baiqing's own doing, and has nothing to do with my grandmother. It's already great that my grandmother can do this for the Song family regardless of past grudges. If outsiders can't see clearly, then... We don’t need to care about what people who don’t understand say.”
Xia Zihan persuaded and persuaded, and Mrs. Zeng felt better, "I don't feel guilty towards the Song family, I just feel that the Song family is having a funeral, but we have to hold a happy event, and I'm afraid that those idle people will talk about it, and we will not be responsible for it." It’s not good for you.”
"Grandma, I don't care." Xia Zihan said, "If there are people who are kind to us, they won't say anything. If there are people who are malicious to us, even if we do nothing, they will still be behind our backs." That’s not true of us.”
"We don't need to change anything just to see the faces of those who are not kind to us. That way, those people will be more proud."
"That's right." Mrs. Zeng patted her hand, "Then we won't change our days."
"Well, grandma, I'll cook some noodles. You'll want to eat them later."
Xia Zihan has not forgotten that Mrs. Zeng did not eat much at noon and evening today, and she was worried that she would be hungry in the middle of the night.
"You don't have to cook it yourself. You talk to me." Then, looking at Hongmei, "Hongmei, go cook it and cook more. Yu Niang doesn't eat much at night."
Patting Xia Zihan's hand, "In a moment, you can eat some with grandma."
"Okay."
Seeing that Zeng's worries were resolved, Xia Zihan breathed a deep sigh of relief.
Hongmei happily went to the small kitchen, and after two cups of tea, she brought in two bowls of noodles.
After eating noodles with Zeng, helping Zeng remove her makeup, wash up, and go to bed, Xia Zihan came out of Zeng's yard and saw Chu Fei anxiously walking around outside the door. When he saw her, He came over eagerly and said, "Master, you have come out."
"What happened?"
Chu Fei was rarely so anxious. If he was so anxious, something big must have happened.
Chu Fei pulled her and walked a few steps forward, then whispered, "The eldest prince's secret guards are here, saying they have something urgent to do to see the master."
The eldest prince's secret guard?
Could it be that something happened in the palace?
If nothing goes wrong, the eldest prince will not send secret guards to find her.
Thinking of this, Xia Zihan picked up the hem of her skirt and hurried back to the yard.
Far away, she saw Chu Cang and Chu Meng, guarding the door of the study, looking nervous.
"Master, come in quickly." Seeing her, Chu Cong knocked on the door, opened it, and let Xia Zihan in.
As soon as she entered, Chu Cong quickly closed the door again, and Chu Meng and he continued to guard outside, preventing anyone from approaching.
As soon as Xia Zihan entered the study, he saw Hua Snake talking to two men in black clothes. The two men were standing and one was sitting. They should be the master and servant. Hua She was also standing, sitting with the two men. When the man spoke, his expression was not only dignified, but also showed a hint of respect.
Xia Zihan's heart beat wildly, and the identity of the person coming was about to be revealed.
Sure enough, when he saw her coming in, Hua She hurriedly said, "County Master, you are finally here. The eldest prince has been waiting for a long time."
Then he pointed to one of the men in black, "This is the eldest prince."
Sure enough, the eldest prince came in person? What big deal made him come to the Chu residence with such a low status?
Xia Zihan was stunned and then looked towards Ao Tianyu.
For a moment, Xia Zihan felt that everything in the world was coming back to life, flowers were blooming, and the light was shining.
Circles of dazzling light appeared in front of his eyes, and the eldest prince was in the light.
Her skin is fairer than hers, her lips are redder than hers, her eyes are red and phoenix-shaped, her nose is high and her eyebrows are as curved as crescent moons. If Ao Tianchen's face is the most beautiful and handsome one she has ever seen, then Ao Tianchen's face in front of her Yu's appearance is two points more beautiful than Ao Tianyu.
This kind of beauty can only be found in heaven, and is rarely seen in the human world.
Xia Zihan had to sigh, the inheritance of this royal family was indeed well-deserved. No matter how beautiful the people in the world were, as long as they stood in front of them, their light would be eclipsed.
Xia Zihan worked very hard to move his eyes away from Ao Tianyu's face, and said, "My daughter has met the eldest prince. I wonder why the eldest prince came to me."
Ao Tianyu was very satisfied that Xia Zihan was not fooled by his beauty.
He stared at Xia Zihan, looked up and down, and nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, Aqi has a good taste."
That girl, Aqi, picked her well.
No wonder, the boy had fallen in love at a young age. Before leaving, he made a special trip to the palace to ask for help and asked him to take good care of his future wife.
It seemed that the boy's deep affection would not be in vain.
Xia Zihan's cheeks suddenly felt as if they were on fire, and turned red. He said, "I have to thank the eldest prince for your support."
She was thanking the eldest prince for helping her escape the disaster of several princes choosing their concubines and concubines last time.
Of course, there was also the unexpected surprise that the emperor gave her two Zhuangzi as compensation. She also had to thank the eldest prince for this.
Ao Tianyu admired her attitude of repaying her kindness even more.
Then he talked about his purpose, "My father was poisoned. I only realized it at noon today. Aqi once said that there is a magic doctor by your side. I want to invite him to the palace to help my father." Take a look.”
Invite her master into the palace?
Xia Zihan was surprised. She did not agree immediately, but said, "Since the eldest prince knows that Doctor Bai is a member of the world, he should also know that people in the world are least willing to get involved in court disputes."
"I will lead the eldest prince to see Divine Doctor Bai, but will Divine Doctor Bai agree to enter the palace to treat the emperor? I can't make the decision for Divine Doctor Bai. This requires the eldest prince to persuade Divine Doctor Bai himself, but I don't want the eldest prince to Use tough tactics.”
Xia Zihan's cold eyes stared at him expressionlessly, needing him to give her a promise.
She didn't want the eldest prince to force her master to enter the palace for the sake of the emperor. If her master refused, the eldest prince would commit the crime of annihilating the nine clans.
She didn't want to get her master into trouble.
But...
Xia Zihan suddenly laughed and said, "I heard that there are many rare medicinal materials in the Imperial Palace Hospital. Doctor Bai is the most obsessed with medicinal materials. The rarer they are, the more he likes them."
The eldest prince was originally unhappy that Xia Zihan didn't help him persuade Doctor Bai. After hearing what Xia Zihan said, he actually smiled, "Thank you Chu Yu for reminding me."
Being able to give him hints also helped him a lot.
Xia Zihan took the eldest prince to the front yard where Dr. Bai Shen lived.
As Xia Zihan said, Doctor Bai refused from the beginning, "I'm used to being quiet and don't want to get involved in all those complicated things."
"Then, what if His Highness allows Dr. Bai to enter the warehouse of Taiyuan Hospital and randomly select ten medicinal plants?" The eldest prince threw out the bait lightly.
The warehouse of the Imperial Palace Hospital is the place that all the doctors in the world dream of going to. Even if they can go in and pick out just one medicinal plant, let alone ten medicinal herbs, Doctor Bai will be very excited.
You know, there are some of the most precious and rare medicinal materials in the world.
Doctor Bai heard that there was a very rare ice blue flower in the warehouse of the Taiyuan Hospital. He heard that it was a treasure presented to the emperor by a feudal official.
At that time, he was not greedy to death.
Now, he had an opportunity to go to Tai Hospital to get the ice blue flowers in an honest way. If he refused, he would be a fool.
However, Doctor Bai had something to say first, "Regardless of whether I can cure the poison in the emperor's body, I hope that the eldest prince will not vent his anger on Chu's house."
"I promise you." The eldest prince said.
Originally, he had never thought of causing trouble for Chu Zhai.
Even Divine Doctor Bai, if he couldn't cure the poison in his father's body, he never thought about taking his anger out on others and doing anything to Divine Doctor Bai.
After all, Divine Doctor Bai is Chu Yu's master, and if he agrees to go, it can be regarded as giving him an extra boost.
Even if he couldn't solve it, he wouldn't blame him, let alone anger the Chu family.
He wanted to hate, and he should hate the person who hid in the dark and poisoned his father.
