Chapter 28 I want to feed my mother the medicine myself

[Huh, I didn't expect this virtuous concubine to be so stubborn! ]

[You're actually thinking about secretly harming your mother! ]

[In the original book, Concubine Xian placed this purple jade in Concubine Rou's palace to frame her.]

[I never thought that this trick would be used on my mother! ]

When the Concubine Chen heard this, her heart sank suddenly.

If it wasn't for Sui Sui's reminder, she might not have noticed.

Maybe he was really assassinated by Concubine Xian so quietly.

The Concubine Chen pursed her lips, thought for a moment and said, "Both of you stay, you go down first."

"yes."

Cuizhu and Ziyu bowed and saluted, then quickly left.

As soon as the two of them walked out of the palace gate, Concubine Chen turned around and gave Qingping instructions.

"Keep an eye on Ziyu and watch her every move carefully."

Shangguan Sui breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

[Ah! I knew my mother was the smartest and would definitely be able to spot something wrong!]

Upon hearing this, Concubine Chen curled her lips and chuckled.

Prince Rui's Palace.

Aunt Liu's hands trembled as she looked at her son, whose face was bruised and swollen.

"My son, what is going on?"

Xiao Feng cried very loudly.

"Wuwuwu, I don't know either. Today, before I even left the palace, someone suddenly put a sack on me, threw me into the grass, and beat me severely."

Aunt Liu frowned, "Son, have you offended someone?"

Xiao Feng cried even harder.

"Wuwuwu mother, I don't know."

Aunt Liu reached out and touched Xiao Feng's head, comforting him, "Good boy, tell mother who you met when you entered the palace today?"

Xiao Feng stopped crying, squeezed his eyes, and thought hard.

"I met the fifth princess today."

Aunt Liu frowned, "Besides the Fifth Princess, is there anyone else?"

Xiao Feng stared with his eyes wide open and shook his head blankly.

"No, there is only the fifth princess."

Aunt Liu frowned and thought.

Today, the fifth princess is the emperor's most favored child, and her biological mother, Concubine Chen, is in charge of the six palaces.

The status of the Lou family in the court was also rising steadily, and the youngest son of the Lou family was promoted to the rank of General Fuyuan, in charge of military affairs.

How could they dare to offend such a person?

But why did the Fifth Princess look for someone to beat Xiao Feng?

Aunt Liu asked, "What were you doing when you met the Fifth Princess today?"

Xiao Feng had a tough look on his face and spoke in a proud tone.

"I was hitting Xiao Ziyuan with a stick at that time!"

Aunt Liu understood.

The Fifth Princess must have gotten angry because she saw Xiao Feng hitting someone.

Aunt Liu looked at Xiao Feng and advised, "You, don't bully Xiao Ziyuan openly in the future, or you will become a target of gossip."

Xiao Feng stared with his eyes wide open.

"Mom, what is a word cake? Can I eat it?"

"Mom, I want to eat cakes!"

Aunt Liu: ...

Her Feng'er is a little stupid, but it doesn't matter, maybe he will become smart as he grows up.

Now Feng'er is just having fun.

When Xiao Feng saw that Aunt Liu didn't say anything, he immediately started crying again.

"Mother! Today I heard someone say behind my back that I am a bastard! Xiao Ziyuan is the legitimate son!"

"I don't want to be a bastard! Mother! I don't want to be a bastard!"

Aunt Liu held Xiao Feng in her arms, patted his head and consoled him.

"Okay, okay, I won't be a bastard."

With her comforting voice, Xiao Feng gradually calmed down.

Aunt Liu looked at the scenery outside the window, and a hint of coldness flashed across her eyes.

"Don't worry, Feng'er. Mother will make you the legitimate son."

The position of princess will be hers sooner or later.

At this time, in another courtyard of the Rui Palace.

White smoke slowly rose from the copper incense burner.

From inside the tent, there were continuous coughing sounds.

Song was lying on the bed, her face pale.

"Princess, the medicine is ready."

Taohong came in carrying a bowl of black Chinese medicine.

Xiao Ziyuan looked at the bowl of Chinese medicine and his eyes suddenly turned cold.

Taohong noticed his gaze and her hand holding the Chinese medicine began to tremble uncontrollably.

Why does the young master look at her like this...

Could it be that he discovered something?

No way, she hid it very well...

Taohong was worried, but her years of inertia made her steadily place the Chinese medicine on the square table beside the bed.

She opened the gauze curtain and said softly, "Princess, it's time to take medicine."

Taohong picked up the bowl and was about to feed the medicine as usual.

"etc."

Xiao Ziyuan's childish but indifferent voice rang out.

Taohong's hand holding the medicine bowl began to tremble uncontrollably again.

Even the Song family noticed it.

"What's wrong?"

Taohong opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Xiao Ziyuan.

He walked to the bedside, his voice much softer.

"I want to give my mother the medicine myself."

Song did not refuse, after all, this was her son's filial piety.

Xiao Ziyuan looked at Taohong, his face expressionless and unremarkable.

"You go down first."

Taohong nodded immediately, put the medicine on the square table, bowed and left.

Xiao Ziyuan looked at the bowl of Chinese medicine and pursed his thin lips.

Song's pale lips moved slightly.

"What's wrong? Bring me the medicine."

Seeing that he didn't move, Song supported her weak body and prepared to get it herself.

At this moment, Xiao Ziyuan knelt down on the ground with a serious look in his eyes.

"Mother, you can't drink this medicine anymore, it's poisonous!"

Song's body trembled and she clutched the corner of the quilt tightly.

"What did you say?"

Xiao Ziyuan had thought of his speech early in the morning.

After all, he couldn't tell his mother that he had learned this news by eavesdropping on the fifth princess's thoughts.

Mother definitely won’t believe it.

Xiao Ziyuan paused and said slowly: "I saw that day that Taohong secretly put something in my mother's medicine, and she was very close to Aunt Liu's people..."

Song immediately shook her head.

"No, it's impossible. Taohong followed me when I entered the mansion. How could she betray me?"

Xiao Ziyuan looked up.

"Then mother doesn't believe me?"

Song choked and said helplessly, "Get up first. The ground is cool."

Xiao Ziyuan shook his head, a stubborn look on his face.

"No, I won't get up unless mother believes me."

"And mother, don't you think it's strange? Mother has been taking medicine for such a long time, not only has her condition not improved at all, but it has even gotten worse."

"When I was little, my mother could hold me and play with me, but now she can only lie in bed..."

After hearing this, Song's original doubts turned into deep fear.

There was a look of uneasiness in his eyes.

It seems that this is indeed the case...

She lowered her eyes and blinked her eyelashes.

"You get up first. Mother trusts you. As for Taohong..."
