The first daughter is poisonous, the lord goes to bed obediently

Chapter 301
The patriarch went to see Yu Wenjin, deliberately detoured a long way, and passed the attic where Madam Yu lived.

Beside the window lattice on the third floor, Gu Jincheng was drinking tea with Madam Yu. Ever since his ambitions were exposed to Yu Wenjin, he has restrained himself a lot.

At this time, it was already time for lunch, and the maids placed exquisite jade dishes one by one.

On one of the jade plates, the extremely thin slices of raw fish sliced ​​by a blade are neat and beautiful.

There are white lines on the fish, and a few small dishes of condiments are placed beside the jade dish.

Gu Jincheng's eyes wandered over the brown table, and when he saw the plate of raw fish, his eyes paused for a while.

He remembered that Madam Yu hated eating fish when he was a child, and when he reunited with her many years later, he found that Madam Yu would choose such raw fish first every time he had a meal.

Watching Mrs. Yu pick up the chopsticks, as usual, dip the raw fish in the juice of a yellow fruit, then put it in the seasoning, and finally put it into the mouth gracefully from under the veil.

During the meal, Gu Jincheng didn't touch the chopsticks, and Madam Yu didn't ask him, only glanced at him occasionally.

Since the reunion, Gu Jincheng has always seen her wearing a veil and looking cold.

He has long been used to it, but before, he would feel lost because of her cold treatment, but now, he doesn't feel much.

Gu Jincheng felt that even if Madam Yu went to intercede with Yu Wenjin last time, it was only because she was afraid of being implicated by him and thus losing Yu Wenjin's protection.

After a while, Gu Jincheng turned his gaze to the window, and walked away by the window.

When the figure of the patriarch holding the fish tank and walking quickly came into his eyes, Gu Jincheng was stunned. He knew that it was the direction to Yuwenjin's study.

The Rizhao tribe suffered from diseases one after another. Among the herbs used to treat the diseases, one of the most important seven-star grass has been harvested. The patriarch must have gone to Yu Wenjin to ask for the seven-star grass.

But what did he do in the past with the fish in his arms?
"Mother and concubine, take my leave first." Gu Jincheng said calmly, got up and left.

His walking pace is very steady, and his speed is not in a hurry at all, so that others will not notice the strangeness.

Gu Jincheng closely followed the patriarch all the way to Yu Wenjin's study, stopped a few feet away from the study, and watched the patriarch go in.

He can see the colorful fish in the tank.

They didn't swim as happily as before, the foam they spit out became cloudy, but the fish eyes got bigger and bigger.

A smile suddenly appeared in Gu Jincheng's eyes, and then he turned around and left quickly. If he stayed a little longer, Yu Wenjin's eyeliner would have noticed him again.

Half a day later, Gu Jincheng came again, quietly jumped onto a tree next to the nearby pavilion, and hid in the canopy of the tree.

Looking down from here, he could clearly see the situation at the door of Yu Wenjin's study.

Not long after, the patriarch came out holding the fish tank again, and all the fish in it turned white belly, apparently dead.

The water was clear just now, but now it is cloudy.

And the patriarch had a warm smile on his face.

Gu Jincheng understood what was going on, the patriarch should have gotten the Seven Star Grass from Yu Wenjin.

Just now, he went to check and found that the fish was agate fish that can regenerate the skin on the face.

Yu Wenjin ordered people to send juvenile fish from the distant South China Sea to raise them, just to win a smile from the beauty.

Probably before the Rizhao Clan's epidemic broke out, Gu Shiyin and the others realized that Yu Wenjin would attack the Rizhao Clan and made preparations early.

Every time Mrs. Yu went to watch the fish, she always liked to pick the slender petals of Manjusawa and tear them into small pieces to feed the fish. Over time, the maid in charge of raising the fish would follow her instructions and feed the fish with broken petals.

The fish food used to feed the fish will be inspected, but not many people pay attention to the petals of Manjushahua, so Gu Shiyin ordered people to stain the petals with venom.

The agate fish ate the petals, and Madam Yu ate the agate fish, the poison would enter her body and accumulate slowly, and if it took a long time, she would perforate her intestines and die.

The patriarch used the antidote to exchange with Yu Wenjin, but unexpectedly, Yu Wenjin agreed.

Gu Jincheng's eyes darkened, and now he recalled that Yu Wenjin did not agree with him marrying Feng Xihe, and under Mrs. Yu's begging, he was able to forgive him... All things added together, it is not accidental.

Gu Jincheng felt joy in his heart, and left quietly.

He walked to the city wall of the palace, stood beside the glazed tiles glowing with crystal luster in the vast white snow, and watched the people from the Ninghua and Rizhao tribes go back.

When he saw Feng Xihe's graceful back, there was a bright light in his eyes.

Feng Xihe, in a short time, you will regret your choice.

Feng Xihe was sent out of the palace by the maidservants, and before entering the deer cart, she first met the patriarch.

The patriarch nodded to indicate that in order to get the antidote as soon as possible, Yu Wenjin had sent the Seven Star Grass to the Rizhao Clan one step ahead of time.

Feng Xi said softly, Madam Yu's status in Yu Wenjin's heart is really not low.

A ruthless and ungrateful person like Yu Wenjin actually has a woman who cares so much about him.

However, this is a good thing.

After that, Feng Xihe looked around again. Ningguo's convoy had already left before them. After looking at the direction they were leaving and the bright snow-capped peaks, she resolutely entered the deer cart.

Feng Xihe first went back to the Goddess Hall of the Rizhao Clan. Around the Goddess Hall, there were people sent by Gu Shiyin to ensure her safety.

She said her prayers as usual, and she showed up less often after the epidemic in the family was brought under control.

Qian Feifei quietly came to Feng Xihe's side, and Feng Xihe took her and A Ling to go out to pick flowers in the forest in the early morning to make flower dew.

Unlike the colorful flowers in the outside world, in the vast white snow, there are very few kinds of flowers that can be found, but they never get tired of it.

Gu Shiyin would send pigeons over from time to time to inform him of his situation, and Feng Junyi would also go outside to inquire.

From the letter and the news brought back by Feng Junyi, Feng Xihe learned that Gu Shiyin did not withdraw from Riyue Mountain just because Yu Wenjin signed the treaty.

Ning State still had tens of thousands of troops stationed in Riyue Mountain, and Gu Shiyin led a part of them to set up camp in Fengcheng adjacent to Riyue Mountain.

At the same time, as Emperor Changde's condition became more and more serious, the deputy general rushed back with another part of the army and sat in Jinling City with the prince.

On Huaguo's side, Yu Wenhao took out Yu Wenjin's wings.

In the beginning, Gu Shiyin received letters quite frequently, but later on, the frequency decreased. Sometimes, there was not even a single letter for several days.

When Feng Junyi went out, he often couldn't find any effective news.

Feng Xihe knew that the situation was probably more complicated, all parties blocked the news, and Gu Shiyin was busier.

But she devoted herself wholeheartedly to raising her baby in the palace, and was not bothered by the hustle and bustle of the outside world.

She went to the forest to pick flowers as usual, among which honeysuckle was her favorite.

Back then, she once asked the young Gu Shiyin what the meaning of honeysuckle was besides Lingdong not withering. Gu Shiyin didn't tell her at that time, and she forgot to ask later.

In a blink of an eye, it was the season of fragrant golden osmanthus at the foot of the mountain. However, with the arrival of autumn, Feng Xihe couldn't feel any major changes in Riyue Mountain.

This place is still covered with white snow, at most, it starts to snow frequently, and the wind is stronger.

On this day, Feng Xihe came back from the forest with a lack of smile on his face.

Recently, in the snow-capped mountains, there seems to be no trace of sika deer and other animals, and there are fewer hunters going up the mountain to hunt.

Her heart sank suddenly, the peaceful days might be coming to an end.

Feng Xihe came back and continued to fiddle with the petals in the bowl. Beside her, Qian Feifei carefully arranged the jars of flower dew, and sent a little nectar to the statue for offering.

"Fei Fei, you've been out for so long, don't you want to go back?" Feng Xihe asked suddenly.

Qian Feifei's body froze, she thought for a while, and then replied lightly: "The situation is unstable recently, and all the checkpoints back to Jinling City are strictly checked."

"I think it's troublesome, so I plan to wait a few days and go back with you after I calm down."

This was just her excuse, as long as she wanted to go back, Gu Shiyin would send someone to escort her all the way back to Jinling.

What is she running from?

Qian Feifei lowered her eyes silently, thinking in her heart that she hadn't seen Gu Jinyuan come over after staying in the army for so long, maybe he won't come.

Perhaps, Gu Jinyuan has now registered as a crown princess.

After hearing this, Feng Xihe said softly, "In a few days, the situation will only become more chaotic. The property of the Qian family and your close relatives are still there. If you want to leave now, there is still time."

As for her... She doesn't know when she will be able to return to Jinling. In the future, she may first go to Feng Jing and Feng Qingyue to see how they are doing.

"No need." Qian Feifei turned around slowly, forced a smile, "Not long ago, my father learned that there would be a war, so he temporarily stopped his business in other countries."

"There are not many banks and shops that are still open. My father can handle it alone."

"Anyway, I have been running around with him since I was a child. After leaving for such a period of time, I often send him letters home, so he won't worry."

Feng Xihe saw that she was stubborn and couldn't persuade her anymore, so he said, "Then you can go out with me for a walk."

Qian Feifei nodded, and when the door of the Goddess Hall was opened and the soft sunlight poured in, she supported Feng Xihe and walked out step by step.

The two sat in a deer cart, turned around a few times, and returned to the Goddess Hall.

When he came back, the patriarch was already waiting in front of the palace gate, his face was very solemn.

Feng Xihe looked at him curiously without asking, just waiting for him to speak quietly.

The patriarch pondered for a long time, and finally opened his lips slowly, "Emperor Ningguo has passed away."

It will take five or six days for the news to reach here. Presumably, Ningguo is already in the funeral.

As soon as the words fell, Feng Xihe couldn't help but staggered.

Qian Feifei hurriedly supported her, and now she was most worried about her falling.

Feng Xihe's hand caressed her belly hidden under the wide cloak. She still had more than two months to give birth. Originally, she wanted to stay here until the baby was born, but now it seemed too late.
