Queen's Development

Chapter 254 The Truth Comes Out
It was drizzling and the weather was hot and humid.

Yuzhi and his party took umbrellas to the outside study yard.

There was a servant standing at the gate of the yard, seeing Yu Zhi coming, he hurriedly said: "Side concubine, Steward Li is inside, the slave will report first!"

Yuzhi smiled and nodded.

Seeing the boy go in, Ye Ling murmured in a low voice: "Butler Li is so powerful, even the side concubine dares to stop her from coming!"

Yuzhi smiled: "This shows that Butler Li is in charge!"

Ye Ling missed the horse's hooves when he flattered, so he didn't dare to say any more.

Yuzhi looked at the faint greenness in the courtyard, and said in a low voice: "If even Li Rui doesn't believe it, how many people in this world can I trust!"

Li Rui had just taken a shower and was changing clothes. When he learned that the side concubine was coming, he immediately came out with a white jade belt, and walked out along the veranda while wearing the belt.

When he arrived at the gate, he stopped and tidied his clothes, just in time to hear Yu Zhi's words - "If even Li Rui doesn't believe it, how many people in this world can I trust?"

He had mixed feelings for a moment, his nose was sore, he lowered his head for a moment, and then went out to greet him: "I've seen the side concubine!"

Yuzhi looked at Li Rui with a smile, and found that he seemed to have just taken a shower, his hair was wet and loose, he was wearing a black gauze robe and a white jade belt around his waist, making him look thinner, and said: "You also have to pay attention to yourself His body looks too thin!"

Li Rui lowered his eyes, answered "Yes", and led Yuzhi into the courtyard of the outer study.

Ye Ling heard Yu Zhi's words, and knew that the side concubine had said it to herself on purpose, and felt ashamed and regretful at the moment, and her face was a little hot.

When Yuzhi reached the corridor of the main room, she didn't go in any more, and stood on the corridor and asked Li Rui, "Mr. Liu is still inside?"

Li Rui looked inside and said, "I just took a medicinal bath for the old prince, and Mr. Liu is doing acupuncture!"

Yuzhi waved her hand, and when everyone moved away, she lowered her voice and asked, "How is the old prince?"

Seeing the worry in Yuzhi's eyes, Li Rui knew that she hoped that the old prince's condition would stabilize so that he could take the old prince to Beijing for treatment, so he said, "Today is not too good. This morning, the old prince lost control of his bowels and made a bed. I have already seen him." Someone cleaned it up!"

His clothes were also dirty, so he threw them away and took another shower.

Yuzhi sighed, and said: "I'll leave the yard of the outer study to you, and replace it all with our people, don't let others get in!"

Li Rui nodded: "I will be careful!"

Seeing that everyone was far enough away, Yuzhi said in a low voice: "Our lord is not in the capital, I'm worried that something will happen to Jiang Zhen!"

What she was most worried about was that Emperor Yongtai made Jiang Zhen his queen.

Although Lin Jia didn't care about this, if Jiang Zhen became the queen, the harem would definitely be controlled by Jiang Zhen, and there would be troubles in the future.

Li Rui looked up at Yuzhi, and said softly, "Don't worry, I will explain to Mr. Liu!"

Qing Cha held the teacup and looked at Xiao Shizi.

It is said that Xiaoshizi is like a prince, but she thinks that Xiaoshizi is like Yuzhi, with a lively personality, active nature, full of vitality, and his eyes are full of anger.

Her hands trembled slightly: The man said, this medicine is extremely poisonous, and if you swallow it, you will die.
But if the son does not die, her daughter will die!

Thinking of this, Qingcha finally made up his mind, and brought a fine white porcelain teacup to Shizi's mouth.

Ah Yin had been playing for quite a while, and she was a little thirsty. When she saw the water being handed over, she wanted to drink it, but when she saw that the tea cup was not her usual crystal cup, she was a little hesitant.

Qingcha bent down and tilted her hands, ready to feed Ah Yin.

A Yin flashed back.

Qingcha panicked, and if she caught Ah Yin, she would force-feed her.

At this moment, Yeluxiao stretched out his right hand like lightning, and grabbed the teacup in Qingcha's hand with a clever force, but hugged Ayin with his left hand.

Qing Cha froze there.

Ye Luxiao stepped back quickly, and said loudly, "Li Hanxing, let someone go to the small kitchen and catch a rabbit!"

Li Hanxing also realized that something was wrong, and immediately ordered someone to catch the rabbit, but he himself protected Yeluxiao and Ayin.

At this moment, Ye Bi and Jin'er also ran over, both a little strange, and hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?"

Qingcha's face was pale, and she forced a smile and said, "I am afraid that Shizi will be thirsty, so I bring water to Shizi."

Yeluxiao's eyes were dark, and he said softly: "Really? Then do you dare to take a sip of this water?"

Knowing that the matter was exposed, Qing Cha trembled and said, "I dare."

Since the plan has failed, the daughter cannot be saved, and Wang Qingyu doesn't want their mother and daughter anymore. What's the point of her being alive!
Yeluxiao really handed the teacup to Qingcha's mouth.

Feeling overwhelmed by the tea, she took a long sip from Yeluxiao's hand, feeling that the strong sweetness could not suppress the bitterness, and soon, she found that she was numb from the base of her tongue to her throat.

Yeluxiao quickly removed the teacup and handed it to Li Hanxing.

Jin'er also ran over, watching Qingcha's mouth dripping with blood, and her whole body slumped on the wet ground.

When Yu Zhi came in, she happened to see this scene, and immediately walked over quickly: "What happened?"

Seeing that Qingcha was slumped on the ground, with bleeding from the corners of her mouth, eyes and nose, Yuzhi immediately knelt down on one knee: "Qingcha, what's wrong with you?"

Qingcha felt that her body was very cold, obviously it was hot and humid weather, but she was shivering from the cold, she understood everything in her heart, but she couldn't speak, and could only look at Yuzhi.

She knew that she was sorry for Yuzhi, but it was too late to say anything now, poor Zi'er was still in the hands of that villain, and she didn't know whether she was alive or dead.
Yuzhi took a deep breath.Hastily ordered: "Go and ask Mr. Liu to come here!"

Qingcha stretched out her hand and tightly grasped Yuzhi's hand, opened her mouth for a long time, then closed her eyes, let go of her hand and Yuzhi fell down.

Li Hanxing squatted down and touched the nose of the tea, and said, "The side concubine, I'm dead!"

Yuzhi refused to believe it, but seeing Qingcha's seven orifices bleeding, she naturally understood that Qingcha was really dead.

Her mind went blank for a moment, and Ayin's "Mother" called out Yuzhi's sanity.

Yuzhi got up, took the tree shade thrown into her arms, looked at Li Rui who was striding over, and ordered: "Li Rui, you arrange tea first. Funeral, everyone present will follow me to Mingjian!"

In the Ming Dynasty, Yu Zhi hugged A Yin tightly, looked at Li Hanxing, Ye Bi and Jin Er who were kneeling on the ground, and said, "Get up!"

Then he looked at Yeluxiao who was sitting on the armchair in the east: "What's going on?"

Yeluxiao was holding the rabbit sent by the servant, his expression was so calm that he didn't look like a 14-year-old boy, he stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Concubine side, please let me try with a rabbit!"

Yuzhi nodded.

Yeluxiao pinched the rabbit's mouth with one hand, and poured the remaining water from the teacup into the rabbit's mouth with the other.

The fat rabbit struggled desperately, but its movements became slower and slower, and finally it stopped moving. Blood flowed from its mouth, eyes and ears, and its eyes finally closed.

Ye Luxiao lifted the dead rabbit to show Yuzhi: "Side concubine, this tea is highly poisonous!"

Yuzhi was worried that Lin Yin was afraid, so she hurriedly covered Lin Yin's eyes.

Lin Yin looked at the rabbit with sparkling eyes, with a look of excitement and no fear at all.He stretched out his hand to take away his mother's hand, and watched Yeluxiao feed the rabbit medicine with great interest.

Yuzhi hugged Lin Yin tightly, thinking of Cai Qingcha's death just now, her heart felt like frying oil, she said in a hoarse voice, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Ye Luxiao and Li Hanxing told me about the situation at that time.

Ye Bi turned pale with fright, and immediately knelt down.

Ah Yin also calmed down now, with a maturity beyond her age in Feng's eyes: "Mother, I thought that this tea cup was not my crystal cup, so I didn't drink it, but the clear tea insisted on being fed to me, thanks to Uncle A Xiao saved me!"

He drank water from a special crystal cup since he was a child, but when he saw that it was not his own teacup, he naturally refused to drink it.

Yuzhi understood everything now, she got up solemnly, and bowed to Ye Luxiao, "Thank you!"

Yeluxiao looked at Yuzhi, shed tears, and returned a salute.

He knew Yuzhi's influence on Lin Jia, so Yuzhi owed him another favor, and there was always time to pay him back!
After Yeluxiao and Li Hanxing left, Yuzhi looked at Ye Bi who was kneeling on the ground, and said calmly, "I told you not to leave, what did you do?"

Ye Bi's face was full of tears: "The side concubine, the servants have gone to relieve themselves, thinking that they will come back soon, but I didn't expect Qingcha to come back."

She took a few steps forward, looked up at Yu Zhi, with tears streaming down her face: "Side concubine, please, for the sake of my servant's diligence, please spare this servant, I will definitely take care of my son in the future!"

Yuzhi said lightly: "Even if you are in a hurry, you should let Jin'er watch for you, but you didn't."

Seeing Ye Bi staring at herself in a daze, Yuzhi said: "You made a big mistake this time, according to the rules set by the prince, you should be killed with a stick. You have served me for a long time, so I will save your life and let you go out of the house. You go, take all your things away!"

Ye Bi suddenly burst into tears, covered her mouth and began to cry.

Ye Ling has been listening by the side, and when she heard that the side concubine wanted to drive Ye Bi out, she quickly knelt down and cried, "My side concubine, my sister has always been diligent, but this time I was careless, please don't drive my sister out! "

Ye Bi looked at Yuzhi with tears in her eyes: "Side concubine, this servant is afraid, I beg you!"

Yu Zhi also had some conflicts in her heart. At this time, she realized that she had too few maids available. If Ye Bi left, Ye Ling would definitely leave too, and she would not have enough maids here.

After thinking for a while, Yu Zhi suppressed the boredom in her heart, and said in a deep voice: "Ye Bi, you go out and get ten sticks from the housekeeper. If you commit another crime, I will never let you go!"

Ye Bi was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately said: "Thank you side concubine!"

She wiped away her tears vigorously, then stood up and retreated.

Yuzhi watched Ye Bi walk away, her heart was in a mess.

She has always been careful to take precautions, but she did not expect the danger to be so close to Ah Yin.
In the afternoon, Li Rui came over, and he showed Yu Zhi a very old purse with blue embroidered white plum blossoms.

Yuzhi said softly: "I gave Qingcha many years ago, I didn't expect that she still kept it"

Li Rui took out a small rouge box from his purse, unscrewed the lid and showed Yuzhi.

Yuzhi looked at the white powder inside, then raised her eyes to Li Rui.

Li Rui narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice: "Side concubine, this is the poison of green tea. Mr. Liu has already experienced it. It is a refined poison, and ordinary people can't get it at all!"

Yuzhi actually understood everything in her heart, Qing Cha was probably being bribed to harm her Ah Yin!
Yu Zhi stretched out her hand and touched the chubby hand of A Yin who was sleeping beside her, and the remaining warmth for the old man disappeared in her heart.

She is no longer her, and those who live in memory are no longer what they used to be.

She will move forward, and she will also throw away the warmth in her heart.

Fifteen days later, the spirit magpie that Li Rui sent to Zhao County to inquire about Qing Cha and Wang Qingyu returned.

Yuzhi stood in front of the railing, looking at the blooming rose bush outside the railing, her eyes were dark.

Ling Que continued to report: "I asked the four neighbors of the Wang family, and they all said that Qingcha left home with her daughter in May. The reason why she left home was because Wang Qingyu and the widow Qian from the same street got married , took a knife and forced Qingcha and her daughter to leave. After Qingcha took her daughter away, there was no news. His subordinates inquired all the way and found the inn where Qingcha rested in Qingzhou. They learned that Qingcha's daughter was stolen from the inn. Yes, the tea will be gone the next day.”

Yuzhi understood everything in her heart, someone threatened Qingcha with Qingcha's daughter, telling her to wait for her in Shangzhou.

In other words, even if she didn't see Qingcha at that time, Qingcha would find it sooner or later.

Ling Que said again: "The subordinates continued to investigate, and finally found that the person who stole Qingcha's daughter was quite similar to the description of Li Cunming, the second brother of Li Cunyao, the chief steward of the Jiang family, but when he went to chase Li Cunming, he got the news that he had already run away. Yes, there is a box in the inn room where he lives, and there is a little girl's body in it, and she has been dead for a month!"

Yuzhi stretched out her hand to pluck a pink and white rose flower, gently tore off a petal, and said in a low voice: "Wang Qingyu and that widow of money can't stay anymore, I leave this matter to you!"

She already understood in her heart that this time it was Jiang Zhen's trick again.

She will return it sooner or later!

As for Qingcha, even though she was mad at Qingcha to harm Ah Yin, she wanted to avenge Qingcha!

How can the person who has been let down die, while the adulterers and sisters are happy and happy?

Ling Que answered "yes" and retreated quietly.

Li Rui had been standing quietly by the side, but at this moment he came over and said in a low voice, "Side concubine, I'll pick a few more maids from my villa!"

His uncle loves to adopt orphans, and now they are all raised in Li Rui's village, but he can choose a few capable people to come over.

Yuzhi gave a "hmm" and stared blankly at a stalk of dogtail grass swaying in the wind outside. Qingcha's childish smile when they first met appeared in her mind, and her eyes suddenly became moist: Jiang Zhen, just wait!
