Erzhu Huaji had no intention of telling him how wrong his intelligence was. He simply took a sip of tea and said calmly, "There is no one in Tianqi who knows how to use Gu. If it was Gu that killed her, the emperor would know it was us without even having to think about it."
"By then, could the prince possibly save us two siblings from the emperor?"
Prince Yu licked his lips and said, "Of course."
Knowing that he was pretending, Erzhu Huaji did not continue to mention it, but said: "If she died, the emperor would definitely investigate thoroughly. But if it is another case, not only would the emperor not investigate, he would probably even be on guard against her suicide."
Prince Yu was stunned for a moment and looked at him in confusion.
Erzhu Huaji had never thought that Prince Yu could be so foolish. His hand holding the teacup trembled slightly. He forced himself not to show disgust on his face and said, "I heard that women in Tianqi value chastity more than their lives."
Some things can only be said briefly and stopped here.
Prince Yu connected the context and suddenly understood.
Yes, a woman who has lost her virginity, even if she doesn't care, can still be spitted to death by the gossips of the people in Shengjing.
When Prince Yu thought of Jiang Zhiyu's infamous death, he could not hide the joy in his heart.
…
While they were plotting, Jiang Zhiyu was in Xu's house, training Xu Jinchen and Jiang Kang'an's vigilance.
The sudden appearance of medicine in food is secondary. The main problem is that it is difficult to guard against the appearance of young river fish.
Jiang Kangan just opened his eyes while lying on the bed after his lunch break, and his eyes met with Jiang Zhiyu who was right above him.
Even though Jiang Kangan was brave, he couldn't help but be frightened by her and his heart beat faster.
“…”
Jiang Kang'an sat up helplessly, held her in his arms and placed her on the bed, and said, "Zhiyu, big brother has really learned his lesson. Don't worry, I will never let Xiao Chuji succeed again."
Jiang Zhiyu crossed her arms, looked at him and said, "I just put the drug in your bowl at breakfast. At lunch, at the same time, using the same method, you were still poisoned."
Jiang Kangan: “…”
“That’s because at home, no matter who you are, you’ll relax.”
"Still being stubborn."
Jiang Zhiyu narrowed her eyes slightly. Jiang Kangan had a bad feeling and was about to admit his mistake when Jiang Zhiyu had already stood up.
"We can't let our guard down even in the palace."
[There are quite a few people in this mansion who have second thoughts.]
Jiang Kangan: “…”
He really couldn't refute this.
[There are still several people who want to climb into your bed. Given your current alertness, you can only eat lunch.]
[Because sooner or later they will succeed.]
Jiang Kangan: “…”
It's his fault. Having too much leisure time will indeed make people degenerate.
Zhiyu was doing this for her own good, but she treated her like a child and just played with her...
Jiang Kangan felt a little guilty.
[Speaking of bed crawling, it seems like the maid who caused the estrangement between my uncle and aunt is going to be doing it one of these days.]
Jiang Kangan: “!!!”
[No, I have to go and take a look. I can't let that person succeed.]
Because he took Jiang Zhiyu's medicine at lunch, Xu Jinchen still had lost his sense of taste. He picked up the teacup beside him, took a sip, but still couldn't taste anything. He frowned slightly and put the tea down.
The maidservant's eyes lit up when she saw him pick up the teacup, but her joy was only for a few seconds before she saw him put the cup down again.
She blinked and lowered her head slightly to hide the disappointment in her eyes.
What's going on? I've figured it out long ago. He drinks a cup of tea after every meal. Why is it so difficult for him to drink tea when it's my turn to be on duty?!
"Master, is this tea not fresh anymore? I'll make you another cup."
"No need," Xu Jinchen refused without thinking.
I can't taste it now, so even if I make it again, I'll just put it aside.
The maid gritted her teeth secretly.
If she missed this opportunity today, she didn't know how long she would have to wait. Besides, the eldest young master was not often at the mansion. If this period of time passed, how could she ever meet the eldest young master at the mansion again, and it would be her turn to be on duty?
Before she could figure out how to deal with it, Jiang Zhiyu's voice came from the door -
"Uncle, I'm here to deliver the antidote."
maid:"!!!"
Her pupils suddenly trembled.
That shouldn't be the case. This medicine will only be effective when taken with the jade pendant on my waist. If I just drink the tea, even a miracle doctor will never be able to discover it!
She comforted herself in her heart, but her movements still showed a bit of panic uncontrollably.
This caused Xu Jinchen to look at her several times.
Jiang Zhiyu put the antidote on the table. Xu Jinchen took one and his face suddenly became distorted.
"Why, is it bitter?"
This was the first time in his life that he had eaten something so bitter.
"All medicine tastes bitter."
Jiang Zhiyu looked as if it was a matter of course.
[You won't learn your lesson unless you suffer a little.]
Xu Jinchen: “…”
As someone who had been drugged four times in one day, he really couldn't refute it.
Jiang Zhiyu snorted lightly, looked at the tea on the table, then looked at the maid who had glanced at her furtively several times, and narrowed her eyes slightly.
[This must be the maid who climbed into my uncle's bed.]
Xu Jinchen: “???”
[Back when the Xu family wasn't in trouble, my uncle and aunt had a very good relationship. But then, one day when he returned home, he was drugged by a maid, in broad daylight. The maid also pretended to be forced, and the servants saw it all. My uncle had no way of defending himself.]
My aunt had always felt guilty towards my uncle because she couldn't get pregnant. Although my uncle didn't care, my aunt couldn't get over it. When she heard that my uncle favored a maid, she felt both sad and happy.
My uncle had no choice but to take this woman into his household. However, she turned out to be a restless servant, coveting the position of mistress. She poisoned my aunt, and although the truth was revealed, she died of the poisoning.
Xu Jinchen: “!!!”
[This poison can only be seen with her jade pendant. I'll see how I can make it so my uncle can find out.]
"Where did you buy this jade pendant? The style is pretty good. Let me take a look." Xu Jinchen's tone was calm, but there seemed to be a stormy undercurrent slowly surging in his words.
"It's a relic my mother left me." Seeing the eldest son talking to her, the maid's eyes showed some joy. She stroked the jade pendant, took it off from her waist, and handed it to Xu Jinchen.
Xu Jinchen was playing with the jade pendant with his slender fingers. The maid was smiling at first, but when she saw him getting closer and closer to the teacup, the smile on her face froze.
She swallowed nervously.
It's okay. Jiang Zhiyu has been here for so long. If he had discovered any clues, he would have told me long ago. You just need to stay calm.
As she was thinking about it, she saw Xu Jinchen seemed to loosen his grip and the jade pendant fell directly into the teacup!
