The best evil mother-in-law is reborn, supported by the koi granddaughter

Chapter 172 The Elixir
So the little tea ghost mastered the method of controlling the baby Lingquan by mistake, and quickly collected all the honeydew that the little green bud dropped into a bowl, and then fed it into Cui Shun'er's mouth.

In fact, Xiaocha didn't know if Cui Shun'er would successfully detoxify the poison after drinking this thing, but as long as there was a glimmer of life, she had to try it.

Pei Qixing on the side firmly grasped Cui Shun'er's hand, and said eagerly: "Grandma, you must be safe and sound, nothing will happen to you! Grandma said to take Qixing to the plains to fly a kite. Grandma, please wake up quickly." !"

Under the common expectation of the two sisters, Cui Shun'er slowly opened her eyelids. She didn't know what happened to her at all, and looked suspiciously at the two granddaughters who suddenly cried into tears.

At this moment, Pei Xian arrived with the imperial doctor from the imperial hospital. Seeing his wife who had woken up, Pei Xian immediately told the imperial doctor: "Quick! Save my wife!"

The Gu worms in Cui Shun'er's body were removed by Xiaocha's honeydew, but she was extremely weak after lying down for several days. With the secret tonifying formula prepared by the imperial doctor, she turned the corner and was able to eat and speak smoothly.

After learning the ins and outs of the matter, Cui Shun'er was uncharacteristically calm, just because Pei Xian assured her that he would definitely expose the evil deeds of the Shangshu Mansion, so that the bad guys would be punished as they should.

After half a month of secret investigation, Pei Xian has gained a lot of information, that is, Zhou Shangshu and the third prince are colluding, forming a party in the court to do private business and sell officials and titles.

Cui Shun'er heard the words and asked suspiciously: "Buying and selling officials and titles under the eyes of the emperor, did Zhou Shangshu and the third prince eat the bear's heart and leopard's courage?"

Pei Xian snorted coldly, and said: "With the third prince as a protective umbrella, Zhou Shangshu does whatever he wants for the sake of tigers. Even if many officials sigh and sigh, no one can do anything to Zhou Shangshu. Besides, these are petty crimes. Even if I send them to the emperor If this happened, the emperor would at most punish the crown prince with confinement and Zhou Shangshu's salary, but I would have to guard against the members of the Three Princes' Party."

"Since these officials protect each other, wouldn't we be unable to cure Zhou Shangshu?" Cui Shun'er gritted her teeth angrily.

Pei Xian shook his head and said: "No rush, we can continue to collect evidence, as long as we don't startle the snake, we will definitely catch the turtle."

Although the husband and wife discussed it like this, Zhou Shangshu was full of tricks and cunning, and they were in a dangerous situation where they could not be defended by day and night.

Worried that his wife would be persecuted again, before going to bed, Pei Xian held Cui Shun'er's hand, interlocked her fingers, and reminded her again and again: "My lady, you have to be careful recently. Now Jinse has a huge property and is sending tributes to the palace. Zhou Shangshu and Zhou Zhenzhu were all staring at us, so be careful what they do in there."

Cui Shun'er had this concern, but now she was reminded by her husband, and the next day she called in various stewards to give them repeated instructions, and at the dinner table, she ordered everyone in the house to put up guards.

Seeing that they were frowning, Ma Qiufen sat up from the chair, trying to ease the tense atmosphere, and said, "Don't worry, everyone, I will take care of the house, and you can go about your work. I know a few, but our Pei family has gone through many ups and downs along the way, and this time we will save the day without exception!"

As she said that, she picked up a glass of fruit wine as a respect, made Cui Shun'er and the children laugh, and finally made everyone avoid heavy topics, and it was rare to talk and laugh.

But outside the Pei family's house, the whole family is cautious in their words and deeds, especially Pei Quan, who likes to make friends, has entered the Taixue, and is always vigilant at all times.

Seeing his nervousness, his companions leaned over curiously and asked, "Will you go to Yihong Courtyard tonight? Anyway, we don't have any family now, let alone spread bad news."

Pei Quan flatly refused: "No!"

The companions were dumbfounded, and each of them poked their ears and asked in disbelief: "Isn't it? Who in the entire Taixue doesn't know that you, Pei Quan, are a gentle scum? Even if you are better than us, as a man, who is not romantic?"

Pei Quan glared at him, and replied irritably: "Don't mention Yihong Courtyard to me from now on, I'm not interested in going there, I went there to drink and drink just to go along with you, understand?"

The companions were surprised. One of them was Pei Quan's best friend, the only one who knew that Cui Shun'er was bewitched and that Pei's family had a grudge with Shang Shufu. It’s not long since he was seriously ill and the imperial doctor passed by every day, he must have no other thoughts, so let’s not provoke him.”

At this time, Zhou Shangshu was still planning a countermeasure against Pei Xian's family. Of course, he missed his plan several times, but this time, just like Pei Xian's guess, he turned his idea on Cui Shun'er.

At the end of this month, Jinse had a batch of embroideries that had been tributed to the Prince's Mansion. Zhou Shangshu arranged manpower in advance to drop those embroideries and put poisonous powder inside.

Sure enough, the news of the prince's poisoning spread that night, making the whole imperial city uneasy.

Zhou Shangshu has been staring at the prince's mansion for a long time. Although he is the accomplice of the third prince, the third prince has never been highly regarded by the emperor and has no talent. It is entirely because Zhou Shangshu needs a prince to deliver the emperor's news. He fell in love with the easy-to-handle third prince.

Now that the prince has an accident, he naturally needs a caring woman to serve him. Zhou Shangshu is also poisoned. After succeeding to the throne, he will definitely be able to exert power over the government, and even the new emperor will be his puppet.

When Zhou Zhenzhu learned of her father's idea, she refused aggrievedly: "Father, I don't like the prince, I want to marry Pei Xian!"

"Daughter, do you still think it's possible for you and Pei Xian? That man doesn't have you in his heart, and he still targets your father and me everywhere. Now you should rely on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Zhou Shangshu persuaded earnestly.

"But Dad, my heart is on Pei Xian, even if he doesn't love me, it doesn't matter, as long as I can be by his side is enough." Zhou Zhenzhu begged sadly, trying to get her father to give up the idea of ​​making her the princess idea.

"No! Dad doesn't agree with your marriage with Pei Xian! Pearl, listen to Dad's advice. Dad is doing it for your own good. Only when you become a princess can you become a queen in the future. At that time, you can have everything you want, but you are just a mere Pei Xian. Obviously, I can't get into your eyes at all!"

But Zhou Shangshu has made up his mind. In order to drive Pei Xian out of the capital and at the same time consolidate his position, his daughter must become the princess!

Under his persecution, Zhou Zhenzhu reluctantly followed his father's people, and the father and daughter hurried to the Prince's Mansion.
