Why did Hongyu come with her?

“Princess Li specially came to pick me up, so I came with her, so I would have someone to talk to on the way.”

Shen Yu naturally didn't believe it. She thought that Zhang Yue'er was determined to take revenge on the Gao family, and Hong Yu and Gao Feng were formidable enemies. She was afraid that the two of them were conspiring to deal with Gao Feng.

She wanted to follow Zhang Yue'er to find out what was going on, but Hongyu grabbed her hand.

"Sister Fish, someone asked me to give you something."

Seeing the slightly provocative look in Hongyu's eyes, Chenyu knew it must be a letter from Liu Yu. She forcibly snatched the letter from Hongyu's sleeve and ran alone to Suxin Garden.

Suxin Garden was the residence of Old Madam Gu. Upon entering the garden, Old Madam Gu was drinking tea. When she saw Chen Yu arrive, she hurriedly got up to greet her, took Chen Yu's hand, and looked her over. Then, tears welled up in her eyes. "Yu'er, Grandmother has missed you. I heard that Ye Hua is away on a campaign. You must be suffering."

Chen Yu shook her head, helped Grandma Gu sit down, and only said good things to make Grandma Gu happy.

Old Madam Gu looked sorrowful. Master Mu had passed away, Bai Yehua had doted on his concubine, Liu Xiaoniang had caused trouble, Liu Yu had given her the imperial sword... Rong Mama reported everything about Chen Yu to Old Madam Gu.

Seeing Shen Yu's forced smile and tears in her eyes, Old Madam Gu pulled her into her arms and burst into tears. "Yu'er has suffered. If that person can protect you, Grandmother will support Yu'er's divorce."

Shen Yu nodded slightly, understanding her grandmother's intention. Seeing that the door was closed, she opened Liu Yu's letter.

Liu Yu wrote in his letter: "The battle has been a great victory. I will arrive in the capital in three days." Judging from the date at the end, I will be able to meet Liu Yu tomorrow.

Shen Yu felt joy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, only a slight upturn of the corners of her mouth.

At that moment, the door was suddenly kicked open, and Jia Liangyu rushed in carrying Gu Xiaoliu.

"Shenyu, quick, save Xiaoliu and the child in her womb."

Inside the bedroom. Old Mrs. Gu held Gu Xiaoliu's hand, silently shedding tears, until she saw the nanny carrying basin after basin of bright red liquid out, then she couldn't help but cry out in grief, "Ah, my sixth granddaughter, four months pregnant, how could she suddenly be gone?"

Shen Yu, pale-faced, got off the bed.

"Fish, did your sixth sister lose her baby?"

The fish nodded.

"Having lost so much blood, is she alright?"

Chen Yu remained silent. Gu Xiaoliu had not only suffered a miscarriage, but she would also be unable to have children again. This would be a lifelong source of pain for any woman.

Gu Xiaoliu was never accepted by the Jia family. She originally wanted to enter the Jia family by having a child, but unexpectedly, Master Jia died in the Imperial City Guard and Madam Jia committed suicide by poisoning herself to follow him. Gu Xiaoliu's suffering finally came to an end, and she married into the Jia family while pregnant.

How could Gu Xiaoliu, whose pregnancy had always been stable, suddenly miscarry? Someone must have sabotaged her.

She didn't dare look directly at Old Madam Gu, only nodded, and staggered out of the bedroom. Upon seeing Jia Liangyu, she immediately asked, "Tell me, what did she drink? What did she eat? Who gave it to her?"

"Just now in the garden, a group of young ladies were gathered together. Xiao Liu went over there, and only a short while later, the maid called me over, saying that Xiao Liu was suffering from unbearable stomach pain. Who would have thought that..."

Bang! Before Jia Liangyu could finish speaking, Chen Yu shoved him aside and ran out.

Her face was covered in sweat, her clothes were soaked, and her mind was filled with Gao Feng's Ke Ding Du Gu Cao.

When Chen Yu arrived at the garden, she saw that the ladies of the capital and the unmarried girls were crowded together, numbering over a hundred, shouting and arguing as if they were fighting over something.

"The fish sinks in the water."

"Hey, Yu Yu..."

Hearing Princess Xinyue and Yanran calling her, she had no time to pay attention and struggled to squeeze into the crowd. When she went forward, she saw that it was Hongyu and Zhang Yue'er who were handing out tea leaves and shouting.

"This is a beauty and health tea that Princess Hong gave to Consort Yu. Princess Hong is already twenty-eight years old, but she is still young and looks like a young girl. I heard that she has been drinking this tea all along."

"Yes, you can't buy these in the capital. Princess Hong gave me quite a few, and today I'm just passing on her kindness..."

*Slap!* Shen Yu rushed forward and slapped Hong Yu across the face, angrily shouting, "Are you trying to use someone else's beauty to curry favor? Or are you trying to use someone else to do your dirty work? Do you know that Sixth Sister lost her child after drinking this tea? You... are endangering someone's life!"

Upon hearing this, everyone dropped their tea leaves and began to criticize Hongyu and Zhang Yue'er.

"Can it cause miscarriage?"

"We have no grudge against the princess, how vicious she is..."

Faced with the accusations, Hongyu remained calm. In fact, she had deliberately told Zhang Yue'er about the harmful effects of Keding Dugu Grass, but unexpectedly, Zhang Yue'er shared the same idea. Long-term consumption of Keding Dugu Grass causes infertility; only a pregnant woman can immediately witness its harmful effects.

Therefore, she chose Gu Xiaoliu.

What she didn't know was that Gu Xiaoliu not only lost her child, but was also infertile for life.

In an attempt to shift the blame onto Gao Feng, she glared at Chen Yu and retorted loudly, "How could there be a problem with the beauty and health tea that Princess Hong gave me?"

"you……"

Shen Yu was furious, pointing angrily at Hong Yu but unable to speak. The head steward had already told Hong Yu about the harm of Ke Ding Du Gu Cao, yet Hong Yu still took it out and distributed it to everyone, clearly intending to destroy the Hong Prince's Mansion. But innocent people shouldn't be harmed!

If she exposes Hongyu, Hongyu will definitely be accused of harming others, and Yan Wang might be implicated; if she doesn't expose her, the accusation of harming others might fall on Gao Feng.

It wasn't just one person who wanted to punish Gao Feng. Zhang Yue'er picked up the teacup on the stone table, drank it all in one gulp, and shouted, "Look, I drank this tea too and there was no problem. It's just for beauty and health. How could Princess Hong harm people? Princess Hong is walking this way. Why don't we ask her if this beauty and health tea can cause miscarriage?"

Everyone turned around and saw Yanran walking towards them arm in arm with Gao Feng. So, everyone stepped back to make way for Zhang Yue'er, and pairs of eyes stared at Zhang Yue'er, eager to see what would happen.

Before Zhang Yue'er could act, Hongyu rushed towards Gao Feng with a bag of tea leaves in her hand, and suddenly threw the tea leaves at Gao Feng's face, shouting, "You poisonous woman! The tea leaves you gave me can cause miscarriage!"

Gao Feng's phoenix eyes widened in surprise as she asked, "Tea can cause miscarriage? Ridiculous!"

"Stop making excuses! The beauty and health tea you gave me is actually 'Kertin' and 'Dugucao,' which can cause miscarriage."

Gao Feng was not afraid at all, and even smiled with her cherry-like lips pursed.

With that smile, Hongyu realized she had let something slip. Oh no! She knew it was Keding Dugu Grass, yet she still shared it with everyone, confirming her malicious intent.

Sure enough, Gao Feng shouted at the top of her lungs, "Everyone, come and see! Since Consort Yu knows that this is what... Dugu grass, which causes miscarriages, she still takes it out and distributes it to everyone. What is her intention? But then again, I've been drinking it for seven or eight years and I'm completely unharmed. If Consort Yu hadn't reminded me, I really wouldn't have known it was harmful..."
