Chapter 128 Touching the dominoes, three missing one
Feng Xihe raised the medicinal wine in his hand and said, "But, this lady is here to deliver the medicinal wine to cousin Chu today, why don't I take the medicinal wine to cousin Chu first, and then go over to play with you guys?" Dominoes?"

"It's okay. Chu'er is much better." Madam Zhao said with a lenient smile, "Yuan'er and the others have been talking about you for a long time. It's rare for you to come here today. It's not too late to play a few games before going to see Chu'er."

After speaking, she asked Cuihuan to go up and take the medicinal wine in Feng Xihe's hand, and without waiting for Feng Xihe to speak, she brought Feng Xihe to the back garden of the Hou Mansion.

In the back garden, some of the young ladies of the Zhao family were sitting in the pavilion playing dominoes bored.Some broke bare willow branches, picked petals, and weaved garlands.Some took branches to tease the sparrows.

On the domino side, Mrs. Zhao, Aunt He, and Zhao Ruyuan were in a group of three, and others could be added. Mrs. Zhao pulled Feng Xihe over to form four people, and sat around the stone table.

Xu felt that the relationship between Feng Xihe and Aunt He was not harmonious, so Mrs. Zhao deliberately asked Aunt He to sit beside Feng Xihe.

Before, Aunt He did not die. When she returned to the Hou Mansion, Mrs. Zhao was still a little worried and was always on guard against Aunt He.

However, later on, Aunt He's attitude towards her was the same as before, even a little more courteous.When Zhao Wuya went to Aunt He's place at night, Aunt He would often say good things about her in front of Zhao Wuya, asking Zhao Wuya to come and accompany her more often.

When taking care of Zhao Chu, Aunt He was also diligent.

For this reason, Mrs. Zhao felt that Aunt He was afraid of her majesty and did not dare to do anything wrong.Even though Mrs. Zhao repeatedly emphasized to her that Aunt He must be weird when she comes back this time, she only feels that Mrs. Zhao is getting older and more thoughtful.

Feng Xihe observed Mrs. Zhao's face, and knew that Mrs. Zhao thought that Aunt He was easy to deal with, and she didn't take Aunt He to heart.

However, when she came in just now, she also noticed the delicate relationship between the servants of the Zhao family and Aunt He.Thinking about it, after so many years, Aunt He is definitely much better than Mrs. Zhao in terms of managing the relationship between all parties in the mansion.

The reason why Aunt He was safe and sound when she returned to the Zhao family was probably due to her good popularity in the Zhao family, apart from her reputation and the reason why people would be afraid if something happened.

The four played their own cards and occasionally joked.Mrs. Zhao lost a few rounds, but Aunt He deliberately let her play a few rounds, which made Mrs. Zhao smile again.

Zhao Ruyuan was holding a round fan while aiming at the ebony dominoes. She glanced at Feng Xihe and said sourly: "Xihe Cousin, I should be calling you Princess Yu soon. When is the wedding date?"

Feng Xihe didn't even raise his eyes, just smiled and said: "I just handed over the Geng Tie, and the Ministry of Rites will be in charge. It hasn't been decided yet."

"Then I'll congratulate my cousin in advance." Zhao Ruyuan absently knocked a domino on the table, her words were stinging, "This should be your second marriage, I hope you can get married."

Feng Xihe still smiled, "Thank you, Cousin Yuan, for your blessings. However, I think you are worrying too much. If Prince Yu is married, if someone dares to do bad things, it will really be too long."

Zhao Ruyuan's face turned blue, and she was about to say a few more words, but she saw Mrs. Zhao lightly slapped her on the arm, as if scolding: "Yuan'er, it's a good thing that you and your cousin are going to become Princess Yu, you should say more Blessings."

Mrs. Zhao didn't take this marriage seriously at all, she even gloated a little.

The most famous gambling houses in the city have already offered sky-high bets, betting that Feng Xihe will live for a few days at most after marrying.She is also waiting eagerly.

Mrs. Zhao was busy hinting at Zhao Ruyuan, while Aunt He pulled out a domino, shook the embroidered handkerchief, put on a smile and said: "Madam, in fact, what Miss San said is true, it is always right to remind Miss Feng to be more tolerant .”

Mrs. Zhao frowned slightly, she glanced at Aunt He, thinking, Aunt He didn't like Feng Xihe after all.

At this time, Cuihuan walked quickly from a distance, only to hear Cuihuan say behind Mrs. Zhao: "Madam, the young master's medicine is ready today, do you need to go over and have a look in person?"

Mrs. Zhao turned her head a little annoyed, and said impatiently: "Why do you all come to tell me about such a trivial matter as delivering medicine? What use are you slaves?"

Cuihuan hesitated for a while, then said: "Ma'am, the young master is honorable after all, after you have seen it, if you think it's all right, the servants dare to send it to the young master's room."

"Ma'am, I think Cuihuan is a sensible girl." Aunt He approached Mrs. Zhao as if she wanted to cater to her, "Besides, Miss Feng brought medicine and wine, why don't you give it to the young master together?" go?"

After Mrs. Zhao heard this, her eyes lit up, and a thought flashed across her.

She coughed a few times, pointed at Yun Qianhan who was playing by the pool, and said to Cuihuan: "I'm serving guests now, so it's not convenient. You let Aunt Han go with you. If there is anything you need to pay attention to, Aunt Han herself will know."

Can Yun Qianhan come and go freely in Zhao's house?Feng Xihe also saw Yun Qianhan, she squinted her eyes slightly, and saw Yun Qianhan was wearing a hibiscus-colored sweetheart collar straight-fitting trousers, and a scallion-yellow brocade skirt, all of which were made of high-quality materials.A jasper and seven treasures exquisite hairpin pinned to her hair is also of high quality.

Looking at Yun Qianhan's complexion, it became more and more moist.Thinking about it, Zhao Zhen must have helped Yun Qianhan a lot behind his back.

Then, she said in a low voice: "Mrs. Zhao, since the medicinal wine is given by this lady, it's better for this lady to bring it to Cousin Chu."

"Leave this small matter to the servants." Mrs. Zhao said indifferently, and then threw out a few dominoes violently. She was very strict and only waited for a second cake. "Let's play a few more games." .”

Feng Xihe also looked back cooperatively.

The four of them fought a few more times, and after a while, seeing Aunt He hesitated, Madam Zhao couldn't help asking: "Why didn't you deal the cards?"

Aunt He said worryingly: "My card will be kept in Miss San's hand, and I won't be able to release it."

Zhao Ruyuan looked down and said displeasedly, "I don't have your cards in my hand."

"Then I have to take a look." Aunt He got up and went to Zhao Ruyuan. Zhao Ruyuan buckled the ebony domino on the stone table and stared, "Aunt He, you fouled!"

Mrs. Zhao only thought that Aunt He had lost a few rounds before, but now she was eager to win, so she went to persuade her.

In the tugging and tugging of several people, no one noticed that a maid who was following Aunt He had quietly left.

After a while, Aunt He finally returned to her seat, but she still showed some dissatisfaction.Only when facing Mrs. Zhao, is she quite polite.

Mrs. Zhao fought with them and got a little addicted to playing, but she was still thinking about Zhao Chu's affairs all the time.

"Ma'am, it's not good, it's not good." Just as night was about to fall, Cuihuan hurried over and reported to Madam Zhao: "Compared to the previous two days, the situation of the young master seems to be worse than the previous two days. Even worse."

"What's going on?" Mrs. Zhao flicked her sleeves in surprise, and all the dominoes fell to the ground with a "crash".

Cuihuan lowered her head timidly and said, "It's about the medicine."

Mrs. Zhao was very angry, "What could be wrong with the medicine? I saw that Chu'er was fine after taking the medicine yesterday, how could there be a problem today? Besides, it was the old imperial doctor in the palace who prescribed the medicine for Chu'er. "

After thinking for a moment, Cuihuan said again: "It's not that there is a problem with the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor, it is that there is a problem with the medicinal wine brought by Miss Feng."

"Both Aunt Han and I saw that Young Master Hou was coughing up blood after drinking Miss Feng's medicinal wine."

"Miss Feng, why are you..." Mrs. Zhao said in disgust, "You come to my house, I'm so happy to entertain you, but why did you kill my Chu'er?"

Zhao Ruyuan also jumped up violently, "Feng Xihe, it's not enough for you to hurt my elder brother once, why do you want to hurt my brother a second time?"

"Ms. Zhao, Ms. Zhao San, please calm down first." Feng Xihe said to her patiently: "First, you entertained me, and I didn't make trouble. I played cards with you well. Second, I never harmed you." Cousin Chu, last time, it was Cousin Chu who framed me. Thirdly, after I came to the Hou Mansion, I have never been in contact with medicinal wine, so I don’t know what happened."

"In case the medicinal wine is compatible with the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor, if you don't figure it out, give it to Cousin Chu, and then blame me. I am also very wronged."

"Okay, then let's go and find out what the reason is!" Mrs. Zhao took Zhao Ruyuan over and motioned for Feng Xihe to follow.

"If it's true that you intend to harm Chu'er, even if our Zhao family fights hard, we will ask the Holy One to uphold justice for Chu'er!"

Feng Xihe said indifferently: "Mrs. Zhao, you just said what would happen if your first cousin was framed, and you didn't think about Miss Ben. If it's not Miss Ben's fault, what are you planning? Do you also need Miss Ben to return home?" , please grandpa go out of the mountain and preside over justice for me in front of the Holy One?"

Mrs. Zhao was taken aback, feeling that she could not make any promises at will, but Zhao Ruyuan said with disdain: "If it's really not your problem, then I will kneel down and apologize to you!"

"Yuan'er!" Mrs. Zhao tugged at Zhao Ruyuan's sleeve.

"Cousin Yuan, please remember it well! The words have been said and cannot be taken back." After finishing speaking, Feng Xihe followed Mrs. Zhao to Zhao Chu's room.

Before leaving, she stopped and looked at Aunt He. Aunt He was swinging her embroidered handkerchief and swaying after Mrs. Zhao, "Madam, wait for me."

As soon as she entered Zhao Chu's room, Mrs. Zhao cried when she saw puddles of black blood on the ground.

"My poor Chu'er..."

"Hurry up and let me see if someone has poisoned this medicinal wine!" Mrs. Zhao pointed to a jug on the table and drank.

The maidservants had already invited the doctor over to check it out.

But in order to convince Feng Xihe, Mrs. Zhao asked someone to pour out a bowl of medicinal wine and brought it in front of the doctor for him to check.

Mrs. Zhao glanced at Yun Qianhan and Cuihuan, and fixed her eyes on Feng Xihe. She said proudly that some people had incomplete evidence last time, so this time, Feng Xihe must have a hard time arguing.

But when everyone was anxiously waiting for the doctor to speak, they suddenly heard someone shouting outside: "The Second Prince is here."
