Chapter 73: Monster (3)

In the capital, there were rumors that the Lord Heshou County was an evildoer. This evildoer is not just casually speaking, it is justified and well-founded.

Heshou County Lord was very well informed and heard the rumors that afternoon. The people around her were in a hurry, but the Lord Heshou County didn't panic at all, and said very calmly: "Let someone go and find out, who spread this rumor." Prepare to be questioned. However, in the past, it was only whispered in private and spread in a small area. This time, I don't know who wrote it. However, it is not so easy to find out who is behind the scenes.

County Lord Heshou is not surprised, nor is he in a hurry. It is definitely not so easy to find out that this person intends to target her. However, she is not afraid of these rumors, because she has long been prepared.

Soon there were rumors that Master Liaotong, the abbot of Huangzhi Temple, had done calculations for the Lord Heshou County long ago, saying that the Lord Heshou County had opened his eyes.

After hearing Yuchen's words, Yuxi laughed: "I even found Master Tong to testify for her, proving that she is not a monster but has opened her eyes. With the testimony of Master Tong, I believe many people will believe it." There are five eyes in Buddhism, which are the physical eye, the heavenly eye, the wisdom eye, the Dharma eye and the Buddha eye.

Master Liaotong is an eminent monk who has attained the Tao and has many followers. He came out and said that Lord Heshou County had eyes of wisdom, and the doubts were immediately reduced by half.

Yuchen said unhappily: "You can still laugh?" When she got the news, she felt as sick as swallowing a fly.

Yuxi laughed and said, "Can you still cry if you don't laugh? Third sister, even if Monk Tong said that she has opened eyes, there is no way to deal with her?" Since Liao Tong can testify to He Shou, it proves that he is not a good bird. There is something good about it.

Yuchen said helplessly: "It's just that Master Tong is not afraid, but the problem now is that the emperor also believes what Master Tong said, thinking that He Shou has opened his wisdom eye, and said it is auspicious." The emperor said that He Shou's wisdom eye is auspicious, that is Xiangrui, I am determined that no one will dare to say that she is a monster, otherwise, she will be questioning the emperor.

Yuxi asked: "Is this the work of Concubine Song?" The emperor has always been obedient to Concubine Song, if there is Concubine Song's handwriting, it would not be surprising.

Yuxi nodded and said: "It was written by Concubine Song. The crown prince killed himself, and the queen also committed suicide by taking poison. Now the family of Concubine Song is the only one in the harem. With the support of Concubine Song, it is difficult to move the Lord of Heshou County." With the emperor's golden words, and then With the support of Concubine Song, they were wary.

Yuxi nodded and said: "No wonder she is so confident, so she has already prepared." Heshou County Lord is not a fool, if she had no reliance, she would never act in such a high-profile manner. In the past two years, He Shou has flattered Concubine Song in various ways, and no one in the upper class knows it.

Yuchen said with some frustration: "Not only did my grandmother tell my uncle to let this matter go, but my grandmother and my father also felt that we should take it easy."

Yuxi agreed very much and said: "Grandmother and dad's concerns are right. If you say that Lord Heshou County is a monster now, wouldn't you be fighting against the emperor and Concubine Song? Third sister, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Let it go for now, and one day she will pay back the money with interest."

Yuchen smiled wryly and said: "It's not so easy, I heard that Concubine Song wants to designate Princess Heshouxian to the Ninth Prince as a concubine. If so, she will not be able to touch her in the future."

Yuxi was startled: "Didn't you say that Yu Xiyu pointed out that the Ninth Prince was his concubine? How did he become Heshou?"

Yuchen shook his head and said: "At the end of last year, I heard rumors that the emperor was going to designate Yu Xiyu to the Ninth Prince as his concubine, but there has been no movement until now. Now there is news that Song Guifei intends to designate Heshou to the Ninth Prince But it's all gossip, before the imperial decree came down, all of this was false."

Yuxi's eyes widened,

No matter what she did in her previous life, she knew that the Ninth Concubine was Yu Xiyu. Could it be that Heshou wanted to compete with Yu Xiyu. It's not right, if you want to rob, you should also rob the ten princes. In the end it was the Tenth Prince who was crowned the Great Treasure. It is impossible for He Shou not to know this.

But Yuxi didn't hear any rumors about Heshou and the tenth prince, but Heshou had a close relationship with the ninth prince. There are rumors that the two have often met in private.

After much deliberation, Yuxi couldn't understand what Heshou was thinking. But thinking about it from another angle, He Shou is definitely not a smart person. If it is a smart person, it is absolutely impossible to act so high-profile. The high-profile behavior of He Shou has long aroused suspicion.

After thinking too much, Yuxi's head hurts. Cough, forget it, you can't infer Heshou's behavior with common sense. Ordinary people can't buy a murderer to go to the Duke's mansion to kill and set fire.

Yuchen looked at the fierce light in Yuxi's eyes, and said, "Fourth sister, what's wrong with you?"

Yuxi shook her head and said: "It's just a little sad." Although she told Yuchen that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, she was not willing to wait for ten years. The previous incident made her deeply understand a truth, and she could no longer sit still Otherwise, she would probably end up dead without a place to bury her like in her previous life.

Back in Tao Ranju, Yuxi plunged into the study.

For three days in a row, Yuxi stayed in the study except for eating. Yuchen got the news and said helplessly: "This silly girl, I thought she really saw it." How can it be so easy to study the invisible poison that kills people. An old doctor who has practiced medicine for decades can't figure it out, let alone Yu Xi who only knows superficially.

Nanny Gui was a little puzzled: "Girl, Fourth Miss is really studying medicine?" Would Fourth Miss be so shrewd as to do such a stupid thing? Nanny Gui intuitively felt that something was wrong.

Yu Chen was very puzzled and asked: "Mom, why do you have such a big prejudice against Yu Xi?" Yu Xi and Nanny Gui don't have any enmity! Otherwise, why would Nanny Gui not care about what Yuxi did, Nanny Gui felt that she was playing tricks.

Nanny Gui said: "I don't have any prejudice against Miss Si, but what she did this time makes me a little puzzled." Nanny Gui has learned to behave now and doesn't speak ill of Yuxi anymore. Because no matter what she said, Yu Xi was always right. There is no way, Yuxi is too good at pretending, not to mention Yuchen, even she will be deceived sometimes.

Yuchen shook his head helplessly, maybe as Yuxi said, she didn't get along with Nanny Gui, that's why Nanny Gui was so jealous of her. Yuchen said: "I'd better go to Tao Ranju to have a look." That silly girl, you can't just get into the horns.

When Zisu and Kufu saw Yuchen, they seemed to see a savior: "Miss San, please persuade my girl! It's like following a demon. Except for eating, she has been nesting in the study. It's useless to call her."

Yuchen walked to the door of the study, looked at the tightly closed door, and shouted loudly: "Yuxi, I am the third sister, please open the door."

After a while, there was still no sound in the room. Yuchen felt uneasy, and said: "Go and call two people, and break the door open." Yuchen was very worried that Yuxi would make herself faint in the study.

Two strong women came over. But before they knocked on the door, Yuxi opened the door by herself.

Seeing Yuxi's swollen eyes and pale complexion, Yuchen was terrified: "What's the matter? Zisu, hurry up and call the doctor."

Yu Xi half-closed her eyes and said: "Sister San, you are here." After finishing speaking, she yawned and said, "Sister San, what is there to talk about later, I'm so sleepy, let me sleep first!"

I read too much, my eyes were a little blurry, and I couldn't see things clearly. When I entered the house, I tripped over the door. If it wasn't for Zisu and Yuchen to support him, he would definitely have fallen to pieces.

The two hurriedly helped her into the room, Yuxi climbed onto the bed without saying anything, and said to Yuchen: "Go and do your work! I'll sleep." After finishing speaking, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Yuchen looked at Zisu unkindly: "Your girls are like this, and you don't know how to persuade them? Even if you can't persuade them, you should tell me or your aunt, and you just let her do things like this?"

Perilla is full of bitter water.

When Doctor Bai came over, Yuxi was still sound asleep! Doctor Bai diagnosed Yu Xi's pulse, and said: "Miss Si is overworked, and she is a little weak, just rest for two days and she will be fine."

Seeing that Doctor Bai didn't prescribe any medicine, Yuchen hurriedly asked, "Why didn't you prescribe a prescription?"

Doctor Bai explained with a smile: "The fourth girl just didn't have a good rest, so there is no need to prescribe a prescription. If the third girl is worried, I will prescribe a supplement for the fourth girl." Xìngzi also understood, even if he prescribed Fangzi Yuxi, he would not eat it. So originally he was not going to prescribe a prescription for Yuchen.

Qiu Shi got the news and got angry with Zisu: "How do you serve the girl? You don't come to tell me such a big thing?" Qiu Shi didn't know that the accident happened that night with the Shou County Lord. The murderer, so she didn't know why Yuxi made such a fuss. She thought Yuxi was just too tired from reading.

Zisu and Kufu felt wronged, they didn't want to say it, but they didn't dare to say it. Yuxi had already let go, no matter who was looking for a rescuer, she would throw it out after she knew it. With Yu Xi's words, whoever has the guts to file a complaint.

Not only the old lady and Han Jingyan knew about Yuxi's sickness from reading medical books, but also Mrs. Wu, Yurong and others.

Because of Aunt Wen's death, Han Jingyan hated Wu Shi even more. Now the Wu family lives with his head shrunk, and he is no longer as arrogant as before. Although Yurong resented Yuxi, the nurturing mother's teaching was not in vain. She knew that if she wanted to plot against Yuxi, unless she did it perfectly, she would definitely suffer the loss. Before she was fully sure, she would not hands on.

Oak-hee slept until nightfall. After waking up, what greeted her was Qiu's severe scolding, which made Yuxi shrink into the quilt and dare not make a sound.

In the end, it was Zisu who looked at Yuxi pitifully, stood up and said, "Ma'am, Miss, she hasn't eaten for a long time, and if she doesn't eat, her body won't be able to bear it anymore."

Qiu Shi said angrily: "It's okay to starve her to death. Such a big person doesn't know how to cherish himself at all, and he is still like a three-year-old child."

Under Yu Xi's repeated assurances, Qiu took Mama Li back.
