After the delicate beauty salted fish, the sick and weak prince kicked the door to coax

Chapter 145
When Hou Ye heard this, his face changed from pale to liver red, ashamed and frightened.

Countless emotions were backlogged in his chest, which made him unable to breathe.

He really wanted to pass out, so he wouldn't have to face Eunuch Wu's questioning, or his mother's fainting from poisoning.

Mrs. Hou also found it difficult to speak about this question and was ashamed to answer it.

Even if the old lady's poison was cured in the end, she was fine, and the palace would not convict her, but this time the Hou's mansion lost all face, and would be laughed at by the nobles in the capital.

"Huh? Didn't Miss Gu say anything?" Seeing that they didn't answer, Eunuch Wu continued to ask.

"Xi'er said it." Mrs. Hou could only bite the bullet and reply,

"It's just that we are really curious about how delicious the cakes given by the Queen Mother are, so we can't help but want to try them..."

"Is the old lady eating?" Eunuch Wu asked again.

"Elder-in-law came before the others had time to eat." Madam Hou blushed and said in a low voice.

If there was a crack in the ground at this time, she would have slipped in. Madam Hou has never felt so ashamed.

"It seems that our family, no, it was the queen mother who saved your life. If her old man was not worried and sent our family to come here quickly, this Zhongyi Hou Mansion would not exist."

Eunuch Wu smiled inexplicably, speaking in a strange way.

"I would like to thank the Empress Dowager for her protection. The Empress Dowager is blessed with great blessings, and let us all follow suit."

Madam Hou immediately fell to her knees, pulled the dazed Hou Zhongyi, and Gu Rong kowtowed towards the palace.

Eunuch Wu didn't bother with this issue anymore, after all, Gu Xi brought back the poisonous pastry, so nothing happened.

Who saves whom and who harms whom is really unclear.

"Miss Gu is here? Our family will give her the reward, and I have to go back to the palace to return." Eunuch Wu asked again.

"Eunuch, sit down and have some tea and wait a while. Someone has already been sent to invite you." Mrs. Hou said quickly.
-
When Gu Xi heard that the reward was coming from the palace, she couldn't help wondering why the empress dowager was still chasing after her to give the reward not long after she came back.

What happened again? !
However, her movable type printing skills are probably included in this pile of rewards.

Because she also asked about it when she came back, and no one gave her a gift, and nothing special happened, and there was nothing extra in her residence.

With doubts in mind, she hurriedly cleaned up and rushed to the front yard, but halfway through, another servant rushed over and told her in a panic,
"Girl, the old lady ate the pastries you brought back and passed out from poison!"

"..." Gu Xi.

She was stunned for a moment, and then a little funny.

what is this?
Was it a surprise?
Not to mention Duoxi, she didn't hate the old lady enough to poison her to death.

Gu Xi quickened his pace and rushed to the flower hall in the front yard, where he saw Eunuch Wu and others, as well as Mrs. Hou Yehou and others who had lost their souls.

"Our family has met Miss Gu." Eunuch Wu immediately got up when he saw Gu Xi coming, and took the initiative to go forward to greet Gu Xi. He was more polite and respectful to her than Zhong Yihou.

"Eunuch is polite." Gu Xi also greeted Eunuch Wu, then looked at Mrs. Hou, and asked pretending to know nothing,

"Why is mother's face so ugly, what happened?"

Madam Hou's expression was complicated, she even looked at Gu Xi with a hint of awe in her eyes, and told what happened.

She couldn't see through, did Gu Xi know that pastries were poisonous?

If she knew, then she was really amazing, how could she have judged it in the palace, and said such reasonable words so tactfully.

If she doesn't know, then she is indeed very lucky. Based on this matter alone, the queen mother has become her backer, and it is also a solid backer that will not fall for the time being.

Gu Xi showed a look of surprise at the right time, "The pastry is poisonous? It's a good thing the Empress Dowager didn't eat it.

But didn't I say it before, this is an offering, it can't be eaten, it's going to be sent to the ancestral hall, and who coaxed the grandmother to eat it? "

Madam Hou didn't speak immediately, she shook her head sullenly,

"Xi'er misunderstood, no one coaxed, it's..."

"It was the eldest lady who asked to eat pastries. If she hadn't said that she was greedy and wanted to try it, the old lady would not have eaten it!"

The maid Hongmei beside the old lady suddenly stood up, pointed at Gu Rong and said,
"It's all her fault. She let the old lady eat it, but she didn't eat it herself..."

Second Aunt Gu, Gu Qian'er and the others who arrived after hearing Hongmei's words all looked at Gu Rong angrily, wishing they could tear her apart.

"Hongmei, shut up!" Mrs. Hou shouted sharply, her eyes reddened.
"Rong'er doesn't know that cakes are poisonous. She is still young. She grew up in the countryside and has never seen the world. She just said that because she was curious about the food in the palace. She didn't mean to poison grandma!"

Mrs. Hou would rather her daughter have a bad reputation of being greedy, than let her have any stigma of poisoning her grandmother, even if it is rumored.

Otherwise, Rong'er's life would really be ruined.

"I didn't mean to harm grandma, I didn't, I didn't know that pastries were poisonous..." Gu Rong also had a pale face, and hurriedly shook her head in denial.

She really wanted to strangle the maid Hongmei to death. She said that, she wanted to accuse her of poisoning her grandmother.

She doesn't remember that she offended this maid, why did she hurt herself so much!
Simply hateful!
When Gu Xi learned that it was Gu Rong who proposed to eat poisonous cakes, she almost couldn't help laughing.

In the dream, Gu Rong personally poisoned the old lady and knocked her out. However, at that time, Gu Rong planted on her and succeeded in framing her. Because of this, she was flogged fifty times by Hou Zhongyi and was almost beaten to death.

Anyway, the dream was outrageous, and Gu Xi didn't understand why she didn't hide, escape, or resist, so she concluded that there was something wrong with her mind in the dream.

Regardless of the dream, let's just say that now, Gu Rong used the poisonous pastry she brought to poison the old lady unconscious. Whether she intends to or not, she can't escape the responsibility this time.

She hasn't done anything yet, and she hasn't planned anything, but by accident, the task of punching Gu Rong given to her by the system has been completed more than half.

After this incident, Gu Rong will be given the reputation of poisoning her grandmother. Even if the reputation is not so bad, she can't escape being greedy and stupid.

As long as Gu Rong is given some more whips, the task will be completed!
As for being whipped, it's easy. Gu Xi took a look at Zhong Yihou, who was in a daze. As long as she provoked him a little, Zhong Yihou would be more than happy to swing the whip at Gu Rong.

Even if it is a biological daughter, it will definitely not change the villain nature of loyalty and evil.

When something goes wrong, he will only be obedient, shirk responsibility, be incompetent and furious, and then hit the weak with heavy blows.

"It doesn't matter if you did it on purpose or not! Ever since you came back, there has been unrest in the mansion, and you are a bastard!

Now those who are implicated by you, the grandmother has been poisoned, and the Hou Mansion has lost all face!
