Blood fennel is indeed a poison, but with the help of mild medicinal materials, it can attack poison and cure all diseases. There is no problem with the prescription, and the blood fennel is also true. The only problem is that there are Gu worms in the blood fennel.

The Gu worms entered the body through the blood fennel, at first they were only nourished by the flesh and blood, and when they grew up, they would bite the organs and eventually lead to sudden death.

Xin Zhengyuan seemed to be waiting for this answer, and immediately sent someone to report to the prince and queen to make the matter a final conclusion.

Xu Yuanqing stared at him and sneered, "Lord Xin seems to have expected it."

Xin Zhengyuan saluted, "The matter has come to light, the prince can rest assured."

Xu Yuanqing went to Jinming Palace to pick him up, and the queen happened to go to the imperial study and missed it.

Li Ying had already woken up. Seeing the tears on her face, she had been crying for a while. Xu Yuanqing comforted her, and when she left, she troubled her aunt in the palace to send a message to the queen.

Li Ying was depressed along the way, staring blankly at a place, no matter what Xu Yuanqing said, she was indifferent.

After getting off the carriage, Xu Yuanqing called Mama Hu, looked at Li Ying who was devastated, and said, "Mama Hu, please comfort my mother, she will be sad when she sees me now, so I won't go."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, this old slave won't have to worry about it."

Xu Yuanqing went straight back to the room, and because he was walking too quickly, his eyes suddenly went dark, so he hurriedly supported the table to rest.

As soon as the eyes were bright again, he heard the sound of knocking on the window. He raised his hand to open the window, and the cold wind swept through him. He felt cold all over. Outside the window was Xunniang who had been waiting for a long time. "My lord, can't the medicine work?"

Xunniang heard today that he was eager to come to the imperial hospital, but the atmosphere in the house was a bit heavy just now, and he couldn't help but think of blood fennel.

Xu Yuanqing leaned on the window sill and looked at her delicate face, which was more three-dimensional than the facial features of ordinary women. Combined with the poisonous poison mentioned by the imperial doctor, he suddenly realized, "Xun girl, are you a Miaojiang woman?"

Xunniang was obviously taken aback, and nodded again to admit it.

Xu Yuanqing patted his head. Sure enough, Xin Zhengyuan was scheming from the very beginning, and he came here on purpose just to clear up the relationship. He would open it and call her, "Don't go out, just hide here with me."

"What?" Although Xunniang was full of doubts, but Xu Yuanqing had rescued her before and treated her like a friend, so she believed him very much and went into the room without doubt, and became even more puzzled after seeing him close the door, "Is something wrong with the medicine?"

Xu Yuanqing told her about the Tai Hospital in a few words, Xun Niang was shocked after hearing it, and murmured, "No wonder Mr. Xiang told me not to go out and be careful when I came back from the Prince's invitation yesterday. I asked him why he couldn't explain clearly., I'm afraid he has noticed something."

"He's not stupid." After Xu Yuanqing finished speaking, it seemed that someone was coming outside the courtyard, and motioned for her to come in first, and then asked Zuoyue to place her in the empty room in the courtyard, and stay there for the time being.

He had to drink a lot of medicine before recovering from a serious illness, and after a short rest, his mind was dizzy from the warmth of the room, and he heard Zuo Yue call out in a blur of consciousness, and he really couldn't hold back the tossing of his eyelids.Let the consciousness indulge and go to meet Zhou Gong.

Zuo Yue sneaked into the room to explore, then carefully went out to close the door, and whispered back to the person standing at the door, "It's unfortunate that the third son came, my eldest son just fell asleep."

Slightly nodded to Changyuan, handed him the food box in his hand, and smiled lightly, "It's okay, my mother heard that the madam was frightened in the palace and came to see anxiously, and the hereditary medicine is gone, so I'll stop by to have a lookWell, it's nothing serious."

When Xu Yuanqing was asleep, everyone in the yard would retreat, and when the wind blew the fallen leaves scattered all over the ground after cleaning half of the yard.

Zuo Yue stood on tiptoe with a food box in his hand to watch, and the servant in charge of cleaning left, then looked left and right to make sure there was no one around, and then said in a low voice, "Sister Xun is in the left wing room, the prince said that if you come to look for it,Just ask me to sneak you there."

Hearing this, Xiang Changyuan glanced at the closed door, with a calm expression, "I can rest assured that she is in the Hou Mansion, and I won't bother you if there is nothing wrong with your son." After saying that, he left with his hands behind his back, naturally avoiding the dense crowd.The fallen leaves softened the sound of the footsteps.

Zuo Yue scratched his head in bewilderment, wondering why he didn't walk in a straight line to the third son.

Xu Yuan drank too much Qingyao, and it is inevitable that there are medicinal herbs for calming the nerves in it. After this sleep, it will be at Sishi the next day, which can be regarded as replenishing his energy.

He got up and put on his clothes, called Zuo Yue twice but did not hear a response, but heard Xun Niang's voice coming from the door, he went straight to open the door, saw Xun Niang changed into plain clothes, and at a glance, she was from the houseDressed as a maid, holding tea in her hand.

Xu Yuanqing turned to welcome her in first, motioning for her to sit down.

Xunniang nodded, put one of the two cups of tea for herself, sat down and said, "Madam went to the palace as soon as she woke up this morning, maybe it's because yesterday's matter is still urgent."

Xu Yuanqing left the door open for the wind, gathered his cloak and sat down opposite her, "My mother is all about me, she thought she saw hope on the blood fennel, but now that someone has ruined it, she is naturally resentful."

The two were talking about blood fennel, guessing where the prince's next move would be, when they heard a rush of footsteps, and saw a small figure in the courtyard walking quickly, carrying a food box in his hand.

Zuo Yue was not surprised when he saw Xunniang when he entered the room. He put the food box in his hand on the small table, took a breath and said to Xu Yuanqing, "I just heard that Xiang's mansion was surrounded by yamen servants, and they said they wanted to search."

Seeing Shizi's expressionless face after finishing speaking, he thought he hadn't made it clear, so he added, "It's Xiang Changyuan to the third son's family."

Xu Yuanqing's mood didn't change, he just sneered faintly, propped his head to look at the stove, and muttered softly, "Yam servant."

Xunniang frowned, a little afraid to confirm, "Because of me? Is it the prince?"

Zuo Yue was at a loss, and brought the porridge in the food box to Xu Yuanqing with a ignorant expression, and heard him say, "Shen Qiwen can't think of this trick with his brain, and he dare not."

Xu Yuanqing put the porridge on the table, stood up, and stood by the screen, very calm, "A few days ago, Xiang Changyuan and I got closer, and when I was saving you, I was bumped into by Xin Zhengyuan. The yamen servant must be Geng YoucaiIf you go, Xin Zhengyuan will make the best use of everything."

"It's the Xiang's mansion?" Xun Niang understood that Mr. Xiang was also involved in saving her. Perhaps it is more appropriate to say that it was the matter of blood fennel. It is not surprising that Geng Youcai led people to surround the mansion when Xin Zhengyuan launched an attack.But what is puzzling is that with Xin Zhengyuan's intelligence and many eyeliners in Beijing, it is possible that she does not know that she is in Xuanpinghou's mansion, but why is she surrounded by Xiang's mansion?

Xu Yuanqing knew that because Xin Zhengyuan belonged to the prince, he thought about the prince and dared not openly offend Xuanpinghou's mansion, but Xiang Changyuan was the only one in Xiang's mansion.

Zuo Yue was confused and scratched his head, "Then, do you want to help the young master?"

If Xu Yuanqing's guess is correct, Xiang Changyuan and Shen Qiwen's appreciation of the chrysanthemum must have been unhappy. With his straightforward nature, he may have frankly rejected the prince, which undoubtedly angered the narrow-minded Shen Qiwen.

The Xiang family has done a lot of military service, even if they don't participate in party struggles, if there is a bias, it will inevitably change the situation.

It just so happened that the prince bought the blood fennel grass, so in retrospect, the person who sold the blood fennel grass was not the one who hurt Xu Yuanqing, but the current crown prince, a crime that can be punished by the nine clans.

Putting the blame for the murder of the prince on Xu Yuanqing, the Hou Mansion will not let it go, and it may be counterproductive to investigate inside, but now there is no one in the Xiang Mansion to take charge of the overall situation, and Xiang Changyuan has been wandering in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he doesn't understand these twists and turns.Just right.

Not only did he deliberately beat Xiang Jia, but he also turned around to test Xu Yuanqing. If he made a move, he would definitely pull Xiang Jia into the game. When Xiang's family returned to Beijing, Xiang's mansion would be in a different situation. If he didn't make a move, Xiang Changyuan would be coldWith that in mind, it is no longer possible for the Xiang family to occupy the side of the Xuanpinghou's mansion.

The left and right princes are not at a loss, they are on a high stage to watch a show, and they make every move very well and steadily, but it's a pity...

It is impossible for him to hand over Xunniang, and it is impossible for him to come forward to rescue Xiang Changyuan.

Xu Yuanqing thought for a while, then looked sideways out of the window. The pineapple was getting yellower and could be eaten in a few days. He ordered, "A Yue, find a suit of clothes for Miss Xun, and then go prepare the carriage."

Zuo Yue was surprised, "Huh?"

Xunniang was also puzzled, she saw the corners of her mouth raised, she turned her head and smiled faintly, "Xunniang, do you like watching operas?"

A while later, Xu Yuanqing took Xunniang to sit in the high pavilion, and a screen stood outside to keep out the autumn wind. Xu Yuanqing was quite leisurely tasting tea, and also quite leisurely ordering someone to play music.

Xunniang was not as calm as he was, looking straight down from the gap in the screen, the street was buzzing with people, countless people stopped to watch the play, and what they were looking at was Xiangfu.

There were two rows of yamen servants standing at the gate of Xiangfu, and the one who brought them was Geng Youcai. He is now a small county magistrate in the northern suburbs, and he thought that he would not be able to turn up the storm in a short time, but he didn't expect that he would start to make trouble again after a few days.His pestle was at the gate of Xiangfu, and those who didn't know thought he was some kind of general.

The Xiang family has been in the army for generations, and Xiang Changyuan's generation has a daughter and two sons. The eldest daughter and the eldest son are all stationed in northern Xinjiang, and the youngest son returned to Beijing only recently after traveling in the rivers and lakes.

Xiang's mansion is only lively when the general is there, and the rest of the time is quiet and cold. Luo Shi's temperament is demure and he doesn't like to socialize with others. He has been stable in the mansion for many years. He has never seen such a scene before, with an anxious expression on his face, "Yuaner, what should I do?"?”

Xiang Changyuan looked at the yamen servant who refused to budge at the door, stood in front of Luo Shi, and motioned for his servants to help him in, "Mom, don't worry, go ahead and rest."

"How can I sit still?"

With one voice, it came from two directions.

Xunniang was also extremely anxious, unable to drink tea or listen to music, and wanted to punch a hole in the door of Xiangfu.

Seeing her expression, Xu Yuanqing didn't comfort her, and let her be impatient until there was commotion in the street, and Xunniang said urgently, "Young Master Xiang has come out."

Only then did he shift his position and look towards the Xiangfu, Zuo Yue also moved some of the screens with his eyesight to open up his field of vision.

Xiang Changyuan stood in front of the door with his hands behind his back, holding a long sword in his hand, his face was neither sad nor happy, and he spoke with Geng Youcai in a calm and unhurried manner, showing no signs of arguing.

Although they were not far away, the noise on the street was too loud, it was hard to hear their words clearly, Xunniang was so anxious that her ears would fly out.

Seemingly giving up struggling, Xunniang sat back with a straight face and looked at Xu Yuanqing who was calm, "Is your son not in a hurry?"

Xu Yuanqing asked back, "Why are you so anxious to find a girl? The Xiang family is a wealthy family no matter what, and the crown prince has no proof, so what can he do?"

"Although the Xiang family has a large number of talents, but now there are only weak female family members and pure-hearted young master Xiang in the house. The prince has Lord Xin by his side.It's not impossible to plant a frame, coerce and lure."

With Shen Qiwen's mind, maybe he would not have thought of planting and framing, but Xin Zhengyuan is extremely talented, and he will not do this trick just to instigate one thing. I am afraid that he is planning to return to the general., or weakening the Xiang family is an excellent opportunity.

Therefore, besieging Xiangfu and searching for mother-in-law this time is just an excuse, timing is the most important thing, they want to take advantage of the emptiness of Xiangfu to enter, and deceive no one in the mansion.

"Presumptuous!" Xiang Changyuan roared, covering everyone's discussion, with the sword in his hand shielding his chest, standing under the plaque of "Loyalty and Bravery" with firm eyes.

Geng Youcai frowned, and shouted loudly: "I will search for the criminals under the order of the crown prince, and I hope the third son will not stop me!"

Xu Yuanqing grabbed the hem of his clothes and couldn't help frowning. He stood up and looked at the street. There were only passers-by who were watching the theater, but the savior was nowhere to be seen.

Xunniang clasped her hands tightly, Zuo Yue stopped her every time she wanted to come forward, kept asking her to wait, and comforted her confidently, "Your Majesty must be scheming."

During the dispute between the two parties, Xiang Changyuan's long sword was half out of its sheath, and he refused to give an inch.

Geng Youcai said angrily, "Search!"

"I'll see who dares!"

The savior came with his horse, kicking up the dust on the ground, and the people hurried to avoid the sound of the horse's hooves, but the horse did not disturb the crowd, but stopped outside the crowd, panting.

The man on the horse has a slightly disheveled ponytail, and the gray and white thin shirt looks a little embarrassed in the cold autumn. There is a sword box on the horse, and a whip in his hand.The voice was slightly hoarse, "I want to see who dares to step in."

Xiang Changyuan looked at the people on the horse slowly approaching, a little unbelievable, "Sister?"

Xu Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief, walked back slowly and sat down, coughed twice, had a vague premonition when he was in the Tai Hospital yesterday, counted the days when Xiang Changning would return to Beijing, and specially sent someone to pass it on before going to bedThat's why he didn't rush when he heard that Xiangfu was under siege, and he looked like he was sure of victory all the time.
