Qin Di understood what Gu Zezhi meant. Did he suspect that Mrs. Qin Tai's sudden illness had something to do with her?

No way! Qin Zening was so anxious that he flew on his horse.

The three brothers and sisters hurried to the Marquis of Zhongyi with Madam Cui.

The night was as black as ink, and the stars like jewels filled the night sky, and the quiet night was broken by the sound of hooves and knocks on the door.

"Dong Dong Dong!"

There was a hurried knock on the door, and soon a doorman opened the door. Seeing the three Qin Zening brothers and sisters, the doorman was a little surprised and said, "Please wait a moment, sir, Rong Xiao will send someone to inform Madam..."

Since the separation of the long room and the Hou residence, Qin Zening and Qin Di will be stopped by the concierge for a while every time they come. Qin Zening didn't care, but today he was worried about Mrs. Qin, so he simply Just broke through.

The chariots and horses of the three brothers and sisters filed in through the corner gate, and then hurried to Ronghetang regardless of the obstruction of the other servants and maids of the Houfu.

To put it bluntly, the servants of the Hou Mansion are just pretending to stop him. After all, Qin Zening's future is bright now, while the Hou Mansion is windy and precarious.

Qin Zening's three brothers and sisters came to Ronghetang with familiarity.

Mrs Su was also there, sitting in the main room drinking tea leisurely, and seeing Qin Zening and the others coming, she casually said a couple of cool words: "Yo, isn't this my eldest nephew who is busy with other people? Come to us today if you have time."

"Hey, it's unfortunate that you came here, my aunt has no time to entertain you today..."

Qin Zening didn't even bother to say a word to her, and went directly into the inner room from the east room. Qin Di and Qin Zeyu followed Qin Zening, and everything followed his lead.

In the inner room, the air was dull and silent.

Mrs. Qin Tai was lying on a step-by-step bed, her eyes were closed, her body was covered with a thin sapphire blue quilt, and her face was as pale as paper.

Stepping to the side of the bed, Ning mama and the two big maids were standing, all looking panic and at a loss, seeing Qin Zening and the others coming, they hurriedly saluted.

Qin Zening looked at Mrs. Qin Tai who was unconscious on the couch, and asked with a frown, "Where's the doctor?"

Before Ning Ma could answer, she heard Su Shi, who came in behind Qin Zeyu, grabbed her and said, "I have already sent someone to invite her."

While talking, Mrs Su walked to Qin Zening's side, and said yin and yang: "Ning Ge'er, it's too late now, it's already a watch. Since the long house has been split up and the Hou Ye is not in the house, I am here. It is not convenient for the women and Dao family to entertain you."

What she meant was that she ordered Qin Zening and the others to evict them.

Qin Sheng and the second son, Qin Zezhou, closely followed Su Shi, the siblings looked at Qin Zening with disapproval, thinking that they would pretend to be filial!

Qin Zeyu couldn't help but interrupted: "Second aunt, it's been an hour and a half? Why hasn't the doctor been here yet!"

According to him, the Su family didn't send anyone to invite a doctor at all!

Mrs Su stroked her sleeves and said solemnly, "Brother Yu, don't you know that the doctor from Huichuntang that our Hou residence often invites happened to be on a visit, so we can only go to another medical center to ask for Gao Ming."

Su shi squinted Mama Cui without a trace, and hated in her heart: Diao slave, who is nosy, will sell her sooner or later!

The Su family once again issued an order to evict guests: "It's not early, we won't be entertaining guests."

"Come on, send the uncle and the three girls out!"

Su Shi gave an order, and immediately seven or eight women with big arms and round waists rushed into the inner room, making this small room suddenly crowded.

The old ladies laughed and said, "Master, don't make it difficult for the slaves..."

Qin Zening's first reaction was to take a step forward, protect Qin Di behind him, and then slammed out the long sword from the ebony scabbard, the silver blade buzzing in the air.

"Who dares!"

Qin Zening only gave two words.

He was a person who had been on the battlefield and experienced the tempering of life and death. He had blood on his hands, and his mixed body released an undisguised killing aura, which made Su Shi and several wives shudder.

Qin Di looked at Su Shi's style, quietly winked at Qin Zeyu, and said two words in his mouth: imperial doctor.

With Su Clan's posture, if the imperial physician comes, I am afraid that people will also drive the imperial physician out.

Qin Zeyu immediately understood, nodded, and slipped out in the chaos.

The wives looked at the Su family in panic. Most of the time, they would teach some little maids and daughters-in-law a lesson. To put it bluntly, they were market shrews.

Useless, really useless! Su Shi felt even more hatred in her heart, her face turned blue, and she shouted, "Someone, call me a guard!"

This is the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyi, and it's not even Qin Zening's turn to show his prestige here!

Immediately there was a little maid who obeyed the order and trotted out to find the guards, but before the guards from the Hou residence came, Qin Zeyu brought the imperial physician first.

"Doctor Xu, please come here, my grandmother is inside."

Qin Zeyu led a gray-haired imperial doctor into the inner room through the curtain.

Su shi's eyes widened, his teeth rattled, and he said angrily, "This is the Marquis of Zhongyi!"

If Qin Zening was still a little skeptical before he came, Su's current attitude turned the 50% chance into 99%.

Qin Zening stared sharply at Su Shi, and the coldness overflowed.

Su shi's eyes flickered, and he raised his head vigorously, and started to chase people again: "Qin Zening, you have already split up your family, and the Hou Mansion can't allow you to be in charge! Bring all cats and dogs to the mansion!"

"Come on, don't let me drive them all out!"

Su Shi's voice was getting sharper and sharper, and it was best for Imperial Doctor Xu to become angry and leave with a flick of his sleeves.

However, Imperial Physician Xu was calm and gave a bow to Mrs. Su, "The old man and the old marquis have been friends for many years, and I heard that Mrs. Tai is ill. For this old friend's friendship, I also want to show Mrs. Tai. of."

Imperial Physician Xu walked quickly towards Mrs. Qin who was on the bed. The women glanced at the Su family and stepped forward to stop Imperial Physician Xu, but Qin Zening was still here!

He threw a sword flower at random, and slashed the sword towards the right front. The silver sword light flashed, and a small Ruyi square table next to it was slashed like tofu.

"Boom!"

The fist-sized piece of wood just fell to the ground and rolled out.

Qin Zening didn't say a word, but the meaning was very clear, whoever dared to rush up would be like this thing!

The old ladies didn't think their arms would be harder than this wood, they all swallowed in panic and looked at each other. They are all slaves of the Hou Mansion, and their body deeds are in the hands of the master. Today, let alone the uncle chopped off one of their arms, even if they were beaten to death, it would be a vain death!

The old women were all afraid and dared not go forward.

Su Shi was also afraid, her pupils shrank suddenly, and she wanted to go forward in person. This time, Qin Di blocked Su Shi's way, and said lukewarmly, "Second Aunt, don't worry, Imperial Physician Xu will soon see her grandmother. Good pulse."

Qin Di's words are meaningful.

Su Shi was like an ant on a hot pot, staring at Imperial Physician Xu, her body trembling slightly, and she was dripping with cold sweat.

After a while, Imperial Physician Xu put away the three fingers of his right hand, opened the medicine box, took out a few silver needles, baked the tips of the needles slightly with a candle, and stabbed a few needles on Mrs. Qin's large acupoints before getting up.

Qin Zeyu quickly asked, "Doctor Xu, how is my grandmother?"

Everyone's eyes fell on Imperial Physician Xu, and the shirt on Su Shi's back was soaked with cold sweat.

Doctor Xu turned his head and said, "Mrs. Tai must have eaten something bad..."

Su Shi hurriedly said: "My mother is getting older, and her stomach is inevitably worse."

"Second Aunt, it turns out that your medical skills are even better than that of Imperial Physician Xu!" Qin Zening glanced at Mrs. Su with a frosty face, then looked at Imperial Physician Xu, and cupped his hands, "Doctor Xu, dare to ask my grandmother who is What did you eat?"

"Judging from Mrs. Tai's pulse, abdominal pain, convulsions and other symptoms, it is very likely that she took toadstools by mistake." Xu Taiyi said, "Mrs. Tai is older than young people, and the toxins affect her internal organs. Huge damage..."

The so-called toadstool, refers to the poisonous mushroom.

Mammy Cui, Mammy Ning, and others all changed their faces, thinking about what Madam Tai had for dinner tonight.

"..." Su Shi's face turned blue.

"The grandmother 'mistaken' the toadstool in this whole house? I think someone deliberately poisoned it." While speaking, Qin Zening looked at Su Shi again, but the words were addressed to Qin Zeyu, "Ayu, go and report to Jingzhaoyin!"

ranwena.net

"You dare!" Su shi almost jumped up and blurted out.

Qin Di took a step closer to the Su family, staring at the Su family with his big black and white eyes without blinking, and asked, "Second Aunt, what are you afraid of? My grandmother was poisoned, and it is not right to report to the Jingzhao House. not..."

"Who said I was afraid!" Su shi raised the volume subconsciously, his mind was chaotic and panicked, "The Hou residence has been busy recently, so don't bother the government with such trivial matters."

"I see, maybe the toadstools were accidentally mixed into the vegetables I bought in the kitchen..."

Su's attitude was tough at first. As she spoke, she softened her tone and lowered her posture, "Brother Ning, it's true, family shame cannot be made public. It's a troubled season, so don't make trouble again."

Qin Zeyu didn't listen at all and ran out directly. Anyway, since his brother said to report to the official, he will report to the official.

"Brother Yu!" Su Shi shouted in a trembling voice, trying to stop Qin Zeyu, but she was completely panicked.

Qin Zening ignored Su Shi first, took a deep breath, and asked Imperial Doctor Xu, "Doctor Xu, can you save me?"

Imperial Physician Xu stroked the goatee and pondered: "The old man just applied acupuncture to temporarily stabilize Mrs. Tai's condition. If you want to treat it, you must first prescribe a prescription, give Mrs. Tai medicine to induce vomiting, supplement it with acupuncture, and then use decoction. Slowly get rid of the poison. Mrs. Tai is old and somewhat dangerous..." This means that he is not sure whether Mrs. Qin can survive.

Qin Zening solemnly bowed to Imperial Physician Xu and said, "Trouble the Imperial Physician to save my grandmother!"

Xu Taiyi's people all came, and naturally he wanted to treat it. He was in a hurry and immediately prescribed the first prescription.

Mother Cui hurriedly took the prescription to get the medicine.

The Su family was flustered and confused, and she lost her sense of proportion. Finally, her heart swayed and she said coldly, "Brother Ning, Sister Ji, since you dislike me for not taking good care of me, then I will go back to my mother's house."

Su Shi angrily threw his sleeves and turned to leave. Qin Sheng and Qin Zezhou, who were beside her, were a little at a loss, and they were worried about Mrs. Qin too. They looked at Mrs. Qin and then at Su, and in the end, the siblings kept up with Su.

"Don't go!" Qin Zening flashed and appeared in front of the Su family, blocking her way with a scabbard, "Until the officials of Jingzhao Mansion arrive, no one is allowed to leave!"

Qin Zening directly threatened: "Second aunt, you also know that my attack is not serious!"

"Presumptuous!" Qin Sheng couldn't help shouting out for the Su family.

Qin Zezhou then scolded angrily: "Brother, my mother is your aunt, your elder!"

Qin Zening said lightly, "It's your grandmother who is lying unconscious on the couch!"

Qin Sheng and Qin Zezhou frowned slightly, always feeling that Qin Zening's words seemed to mean something.

Su shi's face was even more ugly, his temples were wet with sweat, his feet were weak for a while, and he stumbled a step.

"Mother." Qin Sheng quickly helped Su Shi to the side and sat down.

Time passed very slowly at this time, Qin Zening and Qin Di also sat down.

Qin Zening was not in a hurry, anyway, he was watching several gates of the entire Hou Mansion, and no one wanted to go out at will.

I don't know how long it took, when Madam Cui came with a bowl of hot soup, and she and a few maids poured medicine on Mrs. Qin Tai.

Imperial Physician Xu and the others avoided temporarily, while Mrs. Cui and others served by the sickbed, helping Mrs. Qin to induce vomiting, wiping herself, changing clothes, etc. Then, Imperial Physician Xu went into the inner room to give Mrs. Qin a new treatment. Needle, and then open a new recipe, Mama Cui and others went in and out, and they were busy for a while.

"Boom! Boom!"

In the distance, there was the deafening sound of the gong at the second watch. Qin Zeyu came with Jingzhao Yin Hu Mingke and seven or eight officials, breaking the silence of the night again.

Qin Zening said solemnly: "Master Hu, my grandmother was poisoned and her life is in danger, please ask the adults to investigate thoroughly."

Qin Zening pointedly looked at Su Shi, his eyes were as sharp as knives, and he said, "Let's see if it is the evil slave who harmed the master, or something else."

"..." Su shi's eyes wandered, clenching the handkerchief in his hand fiercely.

Hu Mingke had already heard Qin Zeyu's general description of the situation on the way here, and without going around in circles, he first asked Madam Cui: "What did your madam eat tonight?"

Madam Cui had long since thought about it, and immediately said about the dishes tonight: "Vinegar cabbage, cold cucumbers, red dates, wolfberry, Codonopsis and pigeon soup, and..."

"Mr. Hu, Mrs. Tai's appetite has been bad recently, and she didn't eat a few bites of each dish at dinner. The rest of the slaves were shared by a few little maids, but they were all fine, and the rest were left completely uneaten. The swill bucket..."

Seeing Madam Cui eagerly wanting to pick up the swill bucket, Hu Mingke seemed to smell the sour taste, and quickly said, "Besides dinner, what else did Madam Tai eat? For example, melons, fruits, tea. , snacks or something."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Mother Cui nodded again and again.

Soon, a big maid brought those tea tins, fruit pots and dessert boxes over.

Hu Mingke bowed his hand politely at Imperial Doctor Xu, "It is time for Imperial Doctor Xu to work."

Imperial Physician Xu looked at the tea jars, looked at the items on the table one after another, and finally picked up some leftovers from the snack box and took a closer look, his expression changed.

"It's this pastry," said Imperial Doctor Xu affirmatively, and handed the snack box to Hu Mingke, "Looking at the residue, this pastry contains poisonous mushrooms."

Madam Cui's pupils shrank sharply, and her face suddenly turned pale, "Mrs. Tai has indeed used this pastry..."

Saying that, Madam Cui looked at the Su family, as did Ning Mammy. Ning Mammy raised her finger and pointed at the Su family: "This box of cakes was brought by Madam."

Su Shi's heart is too cruel! Madam Cui felt a chill in her heart, and continued: "Because these days, Mrs. Tai and Mrs. are very unhappy about whether or not to ask the uncle to save Lord Hou. Today, Mrs. brought snacks over to show their love, and Mrs. Tai was very happy, so, Although I don't like this kind of intractable thing on weekdays, I still ate two pieces under the coaxing of my wife."

At that time, Mrs. Su also ate a piece of it herself, so even if she later found out that Mrs. Tai was poisoned, Mama Cui and Mama Ning never thought that the pastry was affected. The cakes are eaten, and their hearts can be punished!

Su Shi: "..."

Su shi's face turned even paler, and her fingernails sank into her tender palms.

She originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos to dispose of the snack box, but there were always maids and maids who served closely in Madam Tai's house. She didn't find the opportunity, and she didn't expect Qin Zening and the others to come so quickly!

Qin Sheng looked at Su Shi in disbelief, as if he didn't know her anymore, and said in a trembling voice: "Mother..." It's not you, right?

Qin Zening looked straight at Su Shi again. This time, he didn't even call out his aunt, and said coldly, "Su Shi, you murdered your mother-in-law, and the evidence is conclusive!"

The daughter-in-law's murder of her mother-in-law is a heinous crime, not only in the Daqi Dynasty, but since ancient times, the laws of all dynasties have regarded it as an unpardonable felony.

The atmosphere was cold, and it seemed that the early autumn had suddenly entered the cold winter.

"You are talking nonsense!" Su Shi certainly couldn't admit the crime, and denied it, "How could I murder my mother-in-law!"

Qin Zezhou was in a turmoil, and after a short period of shock, he also reacted, "Big brother, don't even think about falsely accusing my mother!" Qin Zezhou knew in his heart that no matter whether his mother harmed his grandmother or not, the crime was definitely unacceptable!

"Who dares to touch my mother!" Qin Sheng was also flustered, and said sharply, "My second sister is the second prince's person, who dares to move! Come on, go to the second prince's mansion and call my second sister back!"

Hu Mingke hesitated.

At the court of Jingzhao Mansion that day, he also saw how much the second prince loved Qin Xin's concubine. However, Qin Zening is not easy to mess with. He has just made great achievements and is very popular. His aunt is also the queen of the dynasty, which means that the emperor is the uncle of their three brothers and sisters.

For Hu Mingke, he can't afford to offend anyone. In this case, the best way is to report to the public, so as not to be a person inside or outside.

Hu Mingke cleared his throat, rubbed his hand at Mrs. Su, and said, "Mrs. Hou, this person's life is at stake, please also ask Mrs. to go to Jingzhao Mansion with this official!"

Su shi subconsciously took two steps back, her hands and feet getting cold.

If she was taken to the Jingzhao Mansion Court, with all the evidence and evidence, and Hou Ye was in prison again, she was helpless, and she would not be able to escape the crime of murdering her mother-in-law, then she would have to pay her life for her life, even her own children. If you want to ruin your reputation, how will you be a person in the future? !

Su Shi's body trembled visibly.

At this moment, Mama Zhao, who was beside the Su family, knelt down and said loudly, "It's a slave! It's the poison that the slave gave to Mrs. Tai!"

Su shi's pupils shrank sharply, and looked at Mama Zhao in astonishment.

Zhao mama continued: "The slave servants watch the madam running around outside the marquis these days, washing her face with tears every day, thinking that if the too madam is gone, the marquis will be able to worry. This is a huge mistake!"

Mammy Zhao kowtowed heavily on the ground, "This is all the sin of the slave, and Madam doesn't know anything." After speaking, Mammy Zhao raised her head again and gave Su Shi deeply, as if hiding With a thousand words.

Su shi looked at Zhao mama with emotion, and gave her a wink to reassure her.

Zhao mama didn't hesitate any longer, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's all the sins of slaves, killing people to pay for their lives..." As she said that, she jumped up from the ground without warning and slammed into the beam next to her, so decisive, so firm.

However, Qin Zening had been staring at Zhao Mama for a long time, how could he let her die so easily, or in other words, how could he let the Su family get away with it so easily!

Qin Zening grabbed Zhao Mammy's right arm and pulled it hard. Zhao Mama stumbled and fell to the ground, her face was dead white, and all her strength seemed to be taken away.

This scene shocked the Su family again, and shivered in horror.

Hu Mingke is not a fool, so why can't he see that he is coming out, and quickly ordered to the yamen: "Don't look at people!"

The servants immediately took orders, and the two tall and mighty servants restrained Zhao mama from left to right. Zhao mama hesitated and struggled: "It's a slave! It's really a slave! Uncle, you can't be ugly. Wai Yang, you must let the slaves pay their lives for their lives."

Madam Cui looked at Madam Zhao who wanted to help Su Shi, she was very angry and couldn't help but said, "Madam said it herself at the time, saying that she made the cakes in this box herself!"

Su shi's face was so pale that there was no blood, and his lips were trembling.

Qin Di said lightly: "Mother Zhao, our Qin family is not the kind of family that abuses lynching. In the end, who is right and wrong, in the court, it will be clearly and clearly judged by Mr. Hu, and there is a public opinion!"

Hu Mingke ordered again: "Take it away!"

This time, both the masters and servants of Mrs. Su and Mrs. Zhao were taken away by the yacha. Qin Zezhou wanted to stop them, but was also blocked by a yacha.

Qin Zening pondered for a while, then said to Qin Di: "Xiao Di, you are here to take care of your grandmother, and I will go to Jingzhao Mansion." In Su's case of murdering Mrs. Qin Tai, Qin Zening was the plaintiff, so naturally is to go.

Qin Zeyu hurriedly said: "Brother, don't worry, there are me and the third sister here!"

After Hu Mingke escorted Su and Zhao mama away, the hall became empty all of a sudden, and even Qin Zezhou and Qin Sheng quickly followed.

The remaining slaves looked at each other, still in shock.Everyone has the same idea in their hearts: this Houfu is really going to change!

At this moment, a maid ran out from the direction of the inner room and shouted, "Mrs. Tai is awake!"

Qin Di, Qin Zeyu, and Imperial Doctor Xu hurriedly followed the maid into the inner room again. Mrs. Qin Tai was still lying on the bunk bed, the air was filled with a strong smell of medicine, and there was a faint smell in the middle.Sour.

The east window was open and a cool evening breeze wafted in.

"Grandmother, what do you think?" Qin Zeyu asked with concern.

Mrs. Qin Tai's eyes were full of blue shadows, which were slightly concave, her breathing was weak, and she stared at Qin Zeyu and Qin Di blankly. After a while, she said in a hoarse voice, "Grandma is fine..."

Her voice was weak and weak, with a hint of pathos in her tone.
