The Peerless Concubine of the King's Favorite

Chapter 265 It’s time to forget the old and new accounts (1)
Unfortunately, Futuwei did not answer their words, but looked at Chu Qing and said, "This was found in a secret corner in the courtyard of the third room of the Chu family."

"Three rooms! Impossible!" Chu Minghong's face changed, and he lost his voice.

Chu Zhengyang also widened his eyes in shock, and murmured: "It can't be the third brother, it can't be him."

Compared to the shock of Chu Minghong and Chu Zhengyang, Chu Qing seemed much calmer.She took the porcelain bottle from Futuwei, put it under the tip of her nose to ask, and ordered lightly: "Xing Rong, go and order some wine."

After finishing speaking, he said to the Buddha guard: "How is Sanfang going?"

"Although the bottle was found in their courtyard, the subordinates obeyed the lady's order and did not tell Sanfang what happened. They looked normal and did not see him panic." Futuwei recalled carefully. After the demeanor of the person, answer carefully.

Chu Qing nodded slightly.

"However, the seventh master of the Chu family was in the third room at that time." Suddenly, Futuwei added another sentence.

Chu Zhengxiong?Chu Qing's eyes flashed.

Chu Qing groaned for a while, and ordered: "Go and investigate, who has appeared in the third room in the past few days, and who has been in contact with the fifth young master?"

Futuwei led the order and left.

At this time, Jiujiu opened the door curtain and came out, and Chu Qing handed her the porcelain bottle in his hand.

After receiving the wine, he opened the lid, sniffed it carefully, poured out some of the contents, and put it on his hand. The red granular powder was exactly the same as the safflower granules left in Li's tea. No two.

After careful identification, Jiu Jiu nodded to Chu Qing, confirming that the porcelain bottle contained safflower.

Chu Qing lowered her eyes, no one could see that her expression changed at this moment.

After a while, she told Xing Rong: "Go to the third room, take the fifth young master over, and tell me that I have something to ask her."

Xing Rong's expression changed, she bent over and retreated.

Things have made some progress, but this progress makes it hard for the few people to believe it.

"The old man will go and ask himself, what the hell is Chu Zhenghe going to do?" Chu Minghong said with a livid face as he slapped the door suddenly.

Given the conclusive evidence, Chu Minghong had to believe that Dafang's suffering was related to Sanfang.

"Father, I believe that the third child is not such a person." Chu Zhengyang gritted his teeth with a tangled expression.He never believed that the third younger brother, who had always been loyal, would do such a vicious thing.

Chu Qing's quiet eyes walked around the two of them, and said lightly: "This matter has not yet been settled, so there is no rush. It's not too late to investigate after mother is out of danger."

Chu Minghong paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, and sat back on his chair angrily.He sighed deeply, as if lamenting the misfortune of the Chu family.

Chu Zhengyang was concerned about Li's family, so he didn't say much at the moment.It seemed that everything was left to Chu Qing to arrange, and she didn't want to ask about it.

For a while, the Chu family was isolated, and the main gate was only allowed to enter but not to exit. The owners of each house, even under the guard of the royal family's soldiers, did not dare to move around at will, nor did they dare to inquire.

The courtyard of the main house became the most focal point, and all the houses secretly sent their confidantes to wait outside Li's courtyard to inquire about news.

In this regard, Chu Qing did not stop, on the contrary, he hoped to see this scene even more.

At present, from the evidence point of view, Chu Zhenghe is the most suspected.However, another voice in Chu Qing's heart told her that this matter had nothing to do with Chu Zhenghe.

And since it has nothing to do with him, why would anyone want to frame him like this?
While Chu Qing was drooping her eyes in thought, Xing Rong had already picked up Fifth Young Master Chu Yunrong.

The boy is only ten years old, and he has been doted on by his family since he was a child, so that his mind is not as mature as ordinary children of the same age. Although he knows what happened at home, he is not afraid at all. With a pair of ignorant eyes, he looks around curiously. environment of.

As soon as he saw Chu Qing sitting at the stone table outside the courtyard, he let go of Xing Rong's hand, rushed towards her, and shouted: "Sister Qing, sister Qing, why do you have time to play with Yunrong?"

Chu Qing stretched out his hands to catch Chu Yunrong's fleshy body, preventing him from falling to the ground, and squeezed his cheek with a smile: "Why, Brother Rong doesn't want to play with Sister Qing?"

The little guy immediately shook his head like a rattle, pouted and said aggrievedly: "I wanted to play with Sister Rou and Sister Xin a long time ago to find Sister Qing, but they said that I am a man and it is not good to be with girls Play, don't want to take me."

Seeing such an innocent and lovely appearance, my heart softened.

Thinking of someone using this child to poison Li's family, her eyes turned cold. No matter who is behind this, it is unforgivable.

Holding Chu Yunrong in his arms, Chu Qing looked up at Xing Rong who was standing aside, seemingly unintentionally asking: "Bring the child over, can Third Aunt rest assured?"

Xing Rong has a flexible mind and is good at observing words and expressions.During this time of serving Chuqing, there is naturally a tacit understanding between master and servant.At that moment, she knew clearly that what Chu Qing asked was to take Chu Yunrong over, the expressions of Sanfang's family changed.This is also the purpose of Chu Qing letting her go.

So, she leaned over and said respectfully: "The third grandma didn't say anything, but before leaving, she said something, if Brother Rong makes trouble, she will send him back."

Chu Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, and she nodded with a faint smile.It seems that the Sanfang family may have guessed something, but they don't know, so they are a little worried about Chu Yunrong being taken away.

Stretching out his hand from the dim sum plate on the stone table, he picked up a piece of dim sum and handed it to Chu Yunrong. Chu Qing smiled and said, "Brother Rong, are you hungry?"

Chu Yunrong nodded, and reached out to grab the dim sum.Chu Qing didn't stop him, and let him grab the snack from his hand and stuff it into his mouth.

"Slow down." Chu Qing said amusedly as he watched his cheeks bulge and the corners of his mouth full of crumbs.

After he swallowed the food in his mouth, Chu Qing twisted the handkerchief, helped him wipe the corner of his mouth, and asked softly: "I heard that brother Rong lost his jade pendant?"

Chu Yunrong squinted his eyes to enjoy Chu Qing's gentle treatment, and nodded without thinking when he heard the question.At the same time, he lowered his head and picked up a white jade pendant from his belt. The jade pendant was engraved with auspiciousness, which was very exquisite.

He tore it off, handed it to Chu Qing, and said joyfully, "That's it. It was given to me by my ancestor when Yun Rong was one year old. Yun Rong loved it so much that he kept it next to him and never lost it. But he didn't want to , I couldn’t find it when I got up this morning, so I kept looking for it from the courtyard, and finally found it in the small garden in front.”

After that, he seemed to remember again, and said to Chu Qing: "It's also thanks to the sister maid in the grandma's room. It was her help that I found Yupei quickly."

Chu Qing held the white jade in his hand, the warm and slightly cool feel was very comfortable.It is indeed a rare piece of good jade, and the carving is also very good.
