Chapter 974 Murderer
"Mrs. Chu was poisoned and is about to die. I came to see the master for some herbs." Xia Zihan subconsciously found a suitable excuse, not wanting to tell Qinghui about the strange things that happened in Prince Rong's Mansion.
Although Qinghui is fearless and daring, she is still a woman, and all women are afraid of ghosts and gods. Chu Yuexi is not at home, so he cannot embolden her. Xia Zihan is worried that if she finds out, she will do it at night. Nightmare, I subconsciously chose to hide it from her.
Qinghui had no doubts and went to Zeng's house with Xia Zihan.
Mrs. Zeng was staring wide-eyed, sitting on the kang with two little maids, playing leaf cards. When she saw Xia Zihan and Qinghui coming, she waved, "You two girls are just in time, come and take a look." Look at how I'm going to play this hand. I've already lost six or seven taels of silver. If you come over and act as my strategist, you can help me make it back."
Xia Zihan's eyebrows bloomed and she said with a smile, "Grandma has a lot of money, so I should give some to Mother Su and the others for some afternoon tea."
Zeng smoothed the cards in his hand. He twisted this one and was reluctant to part with it. He was hesitant to come up with the other one, but he was afraid that someone would take it.
Hearing Xia Zihan's words, she pulled out a card and threw it down. She also complained for herself, "Look, Su Niang, this girl defended you in front of me. It seems that I This old bone is looked down upon.”
"Whoever dares to dislike grandma, grandma told me, I will take care of him." Xia Zihan chuckled, and Qinghui and Qinghui sat next to Zeng.
Qinghui also clenched her little fists and said, "And I, who doesn't want to live anymore, dare to dislike my ancestor of the Chu family and see if I don't dig out her eyes."
As he said that, he glanced at Xia Zihan.
Xia Zihan pretended not to see it, and leaned close to Mrs. Zeng and said, "If there is an elder in the family, it is like having a treasure. My grandmother is a treasure in the family. It is too late to have a treasure, so how can she be disliked?"
"You're the only one with such a clever mouth." Zeng scolded with a smile.
Mrs. Zeng didn't ask about Xia Zihan's sudden arrival, but just left her here to eat. After the meal, Xia Zihan left.
After returning to Prince Anjun's Mansion, Xia Zihan went to find Chu Xuanyu and told Chu Xuanyu about the witchcraft formation in Prince Rong's Mansion.
Chu Xuanyu felt that the matter was quite serious. After attending the morning court the next day, he and the emperor went to the inner hall alone to talk.
Before Chu Xuanyu opened his mouth, as soon as the emperor gave him the seat, the young father-in-law came to report that it was Dr. Bai who asked to see him.
"Hurry and ask the miracle doctor to come in." The emperor said.
After Doctor Bai returned to Beijing, he would come in every month to ask for safe pulse for him, the Queen Mother, and several princes and princesses.
Today, when Doctor Bai came, the emperor didn't think much about it, thinking that it was the day to ask for Ping'an's pulse.
When Doctor Bai came in and talked about the witchcraft formation in Prince Rong's mansion, the emperor was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.
Chu Xuanyu said, "Your Majesty, I am asking to see the Emperor alone. What I want to report is this matter. This matter is quite serious and the Emperor cannot take it lightly."
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, we have to ask the Celestial Master of Huguo Temple to come down for this matter."
Without the Heavenly Master in charge of Huguo Temple coming down from the mountain, I'm afraid no one can break the magic of the witchcraft formation.
After the emperor's face turned pale with shock, he gradually regained his composure. He looked at Chu Xuanyu and ordered, "Prince An, come with me to Huguo Temple in the morning."
"I obey the order." Chu Xuanyu knelt down on one knee to accept the order.
Divine Doctor Bai was also going to follow, and the emperor was eager to do so. He also led a hundred silver lin guards and two hundred palace guards, and set off for Huguo Temple in a mighty manner. Xia Zihan waited anxiously for the news at home. After waiting all morning, he got the news that the emperor and a group of people were going to Huguo Temple.
In the afternoon, the twins followed their two uncles to the martial arts training ground. While Zhuo and Xia Zihan were doing embroidery work in the small flower hall, the maid came to report that it was Capt. Li who wanted to see them.
"Invite him to meet at the pavilion." Mrs. Zhuo ordered, hurriedly putting down the half-finished clothes in her hands and moving.
The maid came forward and put on her shoes.
Mrs. Zhuo said to Xia Zihan, "There must be some progress in the old lady's case. Ayu, please accompany your mother to meet Mr. Li."
Xia Zihan hummed and gently put aside a black men's summer shirt that was about to be finished. She put on her shoes, got off the ground, and went to the pavilion outside with Zhuo.
"I have met the princess and the princess." Li Captou met the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and bowed to salute.
Halfway through the ceremony, Mrs. Zhuo waved her hand and said anxiously, "Okay, no need to salute. Let me ask you, has the murderer who poisoned the old lady been caught?"
"The murderer has been caught. He is an old steward of the Chu family." Capt. Li said, "However, the murderer also revealed another accomplice. I am here to catch another murderer."

"Come to An County Prince's Mansion to arrest your accomplice, who is it?" Mrs. Zhuo frowned, straightened her back, and her eyes were filled with overwhelming anger.
Li Li's avatar looked like he didn't feel it. His face was expressionless and he said calmly, "It's the eldest aunt of the Chu family."
"Chu Jingxiu?" Although she had already guessed a few things in her mind, Zhuo was still surprised when she heard the name coming out of Capt. Li's mouth. However, she never thought about protecting anyone.
She pointed in the direction where the old lady lived and said, "Chu Jingxiu is in the old lady's yard. I will tell the maid to take you there."
"Thank you, Princess." Mr. Li bowed his head.
After Mr. Li left, Ms. Zhuo fell down on her chair, angry and angry, and added insult to injury by sarcastically saying, "What kind of parents do they have, what kind of children they give birth to? Look at Chu Jingwen and Chu Jingxiu, there is no such thing." A good thing is just a white-eyed wolf, no matter how hard it is, it won’t be hot.”
Mrs. Zhuo still remembered that Chu Jingwen tried to trick Xia Zihan over and over again. Fortunately, Xia Zihan was lucky enough to avoid him time and time again. Not only that, Chu Jingwen also let Chu Jingwen fail to steal chickens and lose a handful of rice.
In Xia Zihan's hands, Chu Jingwen suffered a lot.
I thought that he was the only one in the Chu family with a bad conscience, but I didn't expect that Chu Jingxiu was also a bad conscience and could even do such a thing.
When Capt. Li arrested Chu Jingxiu, Chu Jingxiu struggled desperately and screamed for help. Even Zhuo's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were talking in the pavilion heard her heartbreaking screams.
Zhuo stood up and said, "Ayu, let's go over and take a look."
"Mom, they say mad dogs love to bite people. If you go, be careful not to let the mad dog bite you." Xia Zihan reminded Zhuo worriedly.
Unexpectedly, Xia Zihan guessed correctly.
As soon as Mrs. Zhuo arrived, Chu Jingxiu pointed at her and said, "Captain Li, it's really not me. I never harmed my grandmother, it was her... She did everything. It was her conspiracy. Captor Li, over the years, , she and my grandmother have never dealt with each other, and everyone in the capital I know, and my grandmother has always loved me very much. Even if I were beaten to death, I would not poison my grandmother. Among the people around my grandmother, only my eldest aunt has a grudge against my grandmother. It was she who wanted to poison my grandmother to death. Mr. Li, hurry up. Catch her.”
