The Peerless Concubine of the King's Favorite

Chapter 261 Check!Clear and angry (1)
I see.It suddenly dawned on me.

"Sister Qing, tell me quickly, who is my future brother-in-law?" Chu Xin affectionately took Chu Qing's arm, shaking and acting coquettishly.

Chu Qing was helpless, she didn't care much about this at all, how could she know who Chu Rou's lover was.

Just as she was about to explain to Chu Xin, she suddenly saw the nanny in Li's room rushing over, with a panicked expression on her face, and when she saw her, she hurriedly shouted: "Miss, it's not good, something happened to Madam!" Already!"

Chu Qing suddenly had a 'click' in his heart, and lost his voice: "What's going on?"

Not long after being separated from her mother, news of her mother's accident came. Chu Qing returned to her mother's residence without a moment's delay.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Li lying on the bed silently, while Jiujiu was taking acupuncture for her with a serious face.

"What's going on?" Chu Qing asked aloud, his eyes looked around, but there was no figure of Chu Zhengyang, it seemed that he hadn't rushed back yet.

"Miss!" Jiujiu heard the clear and cold voice, turned his head around, and said with guilt on his face, "I used to prepare medicinal meals for Madam in the small kitchen, and as soon as I came here, I saw Madam passed out."

Chu Qing walked quickly to the bed, and saw that Li's face was pale, his eyes were lightly closed, even in a coma, they were slightly frowned, and his forehead was covered with fine sweat.

At that moment, I was startled in my heart, and hurriedly asked: "Why did you faint?"

A trace of cruelty flashed across Jiujiu's face, and he said in a low voice, "Poisoned."

"Poison?" Chu Qing's eyes flashed, her breath suddenly turned cold, she looked at Jiujiu, waiting for her explanation.

Jiujiu's tightly pursed lips parted slightly: "Actually, it's not considered poison. To ordinary people, it's nothing. However, to Madam at this moment, it's a deadly poison."

Chu Qing clenched her hands in her sleeves tightly, and she had roughly guessed in her heart what the medicine was, but she still needed confirmation from alcohol.

Taking a deep breath, she tried to calm her emotions and asked, "What medicine is it?"

"Safflower." Jiujiu said a very nice name.

hiss!
Chu Qing took a sharp breath of air, and the expression on his face became even colder.She has been ill for a long time and has become a doctor. In this life, she has also learned some knowledge about medicine and poison, so she naturally knows the medicinal effect of safflower.

This is the most violent abortion pill, and it is usually given to girls in brothels.This medicine works very quickly and doesn't waste time.The only downside is that it hurts too much.

Eating too much may lead to lifelong infertility.

Chu Qing didn't expect that the man in the dark actually administered such a strong drug to his mother.It seemed that he wanted to succeed in one fell swoop and kill the child in Li's stomach.

"How can there be red flowers?" Chu Qing's voice seemed to be so calm, but the aura was as cold as ice, which caused the temperature in the entire room to drop a lot, and the servants in the room were shaking like a sieve. Dare to answer.

"Miss, I have already asked. After Madam came back, she only drank a cup of hot tea in the room." Jiujiu replied, and comforted: "Miss, don't worry, luckily I found it. At this moment, I sealed it with a golden needle." Madam's acupuncture points prevent the flow of medicine, as long as you find a way to expel the medicine and take care of it carefully, Madam and the child will be fine."

Hearing that Mrs. Li was fine for the time being, Chu Qing felt a little relieved.She nodded lightly, and her cold eyes slowly slid across the servants in the room.

These people were all old people brought over from An Ning. She was worried that someone would be unfavorable to her mother in terms of diet, so she didn't let her use the servants of the Chu family compound.

But, after all, something went wrong.

For tea to appear in the room, it must have passed through the hands of the servants in the courtyard.

Who is it?Who ordered this cup of tea to be brought in?

His eyes fell on the empty teacup on the table that hadn't been cleaned up in the future. There were still some red particles in the remaining tea dregs inside.This made Chu Qing's eyes turn cold again: "Who brought this cup of tea?"

This question was like the trial of Lord Hades, and everyone was so frightened that they knelt on the ground, their lips trembling slightly.

Under the oppression of Chu Qing's eyes, a petite and slender figure crawled out trembling all over, and tremblingly said: "Yes... a slave."

"Chuntao?" There was some surprise in Chu Qing's eyes.

Chun Tao was the big maid by her mother's side, and she had served Li Shi for several years.If it was said that she intended to frame Li Shi, then Chu Qing didn't really believe it.

Thinking of this, Chu Qing's tone softened, and he asked, "You brought the tea in?"

"Yes." Chuntao's voice trembled slightly, her eyes filled with tears.He didn't know whether he was afraid of his own fate or Li's safety.

Chu Qing pondered for a moment, her reason was not burned by anger.

"You will tell the whole story carefully. Don't be afraid, if it has nothing to do with you, you will be fine."

"Yes, Miss." There was a glimmer of hope on Chuntao's pale face. After thinking about the incident carefully, she said slowly: "The servant brought hot tea. When passing by the corridor on the way, Fifth Young Master suddenly appeared and said that his I couldn't find the jade pendant, so I asked my servant to help find it. The servant couldn't shirk it, so I had to put the tea in the pavilion temporarily, and searched with the fourth young master. However, after searching for a while, I found it among the flowers. When the servant returned to the pavilion, There were no other people. Afterwards, the servant girl returned to the room, and when she saw that Madam was not there, she put the tea on the table."

Fifth young master?Chu Yunrong?Jade pendant?

A faint light flashed in Chu Qing's eyes.Chu Yunrong is only ten years old, does this really have anything to do with him?
Chu Qing looked at Chuntao, and asked again: "When you were helping Fifth Young Master find the jade pendant, what were Fifth Young Master and his servants doing? Did you notice that anyone passed the pavilion?"

She had already concluded in her heart that if Chuntao was innocent, then the most likely place to be attacked would be the pavilion where she was resting for a while.

There, people come and go, it is indeed the most convenient place to start.

Seeing that Chu Qing did not punish her in anger, Chuntao felt a little more at ease than before.After thinking for a while, he said: "The Fifth Young Master followed the servant girl, looking for the jade pendant, and the other servants of the Fifth Young Master were also looking for the lost jade pendant. At that time, the slave maid wanted to find the jade pendant quickly, but did not pay attention Someone passed the pavilion."

The thread is broken again?
Chu Qing pursed her lips and narrowed her eyes dangerously.

If the murderer really poisoned the tea while Chu Yunrong was looking for Yupei, then the two incidents were a coincidence or intentional.If someone really took advantage of Chu Yunrong, who was it?Is it related to Chu Zhenghe?

The purpose of wanting the life of the child in Li's womb was to prevent Chu Zhengyang from becoming the head of the family.If the servant's patriarch does not have a continuation of the incense, naturally the clan cannot allow him to take over the Chu family.

Although I don't want to be suspicious, in fact, before Chu Zhengyang came back, the third child, Chu Zhenghe, had been working by Chu Minghong's side, and he could be regarded as one of the candidates for the next patriarch.
