Over time, Mrs. Du became much more honest, preferring to use her niece instead of Chu Yunli. In addition, she often urged Chu Yunli to leave, and she never dared to delay her when eating or sleeping.
Furthermore, in the past, when things were sent to the palace, unless one person was designated to have a share, there would never be Chu Yunli. But this time, the Baiyun grapes sent by the palace as tribute from the barbarians were because of their outer layer.
It's like a layer of cloud floating in the air, and it tastes very sweet, which is very rare.
In a rare move, Mrs. Du gave her half. When it was delivered, her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were present. After seeing off the palace attendants, Mrs. Du asked her maid to divide it into two halves and give one portion to Chu Yunli.
At that time, the maid blinked and reminded hesitantly, "Mrs. Hou, this is for the Crown Prince's wife..."
Little Du Shi also thought she heard wrongly. She originally thought that half of it was hers. Ever since Du Shi became ill, it has always been this way.
Du Shi looked unhappy, "Don't you even listen to what I say?"
The maid didn't dare to ask anymore, and brought a clear plate to Chu Yunli.
She smiled, took the plate, and said, "Thank you, mother."
Little Du couldn't understand, "Mother, this..."
Du Shi closed her eyes, "I'm a little tired, that's all."
When going out, the maid behind Chu Yunli was holding grapes. Little Du looked at her suspiciously several times, then turned around and went in.
In the following days, Mrs. Du often distributed things to her, not only things from the palace, but also fresh food from the village, and sometimes prepared dishes.
After little Du Shi came back that time, it was no longer strange for Du Shi to send things like this, and sometimes he would help Du Shi to urge her to take them back and eat them.
Another day, this time I was given a snack, which was sent from the palace as usual. It is said that it is a flower cake made from a kind of flower only found in Liangzhou, which is thousands of miles away from the capital. It is called cold cake or cold silk silk.
of.
As usual, he gave half of it to her and told her, "Although this cold cake is delicious, it is a cold thing after all. Just eat it yourself and don't give it to the children."
Chu Yunli carried the snacks back to the yard. After entering the yard, she handed them to Luye and said, "Take them to feed the pigs."
Luye was surprised, "Isn't it such a pity?"
"We can eat all good things. It's a pity to feed them to pigs, but some things are inedible." Chu Yunli glanced at the food box. Although she didn't see anything wrong with the cold cake, Du Shi specifically asked not to give it to her.
She would not eat the children. On the surface, Du Shi seemed to be afraid of her recently so he gave her these things to please her, but in her heart she never believed that Du Shi could be such a coward.
Chu Yunli is very confident in her medical skills. But she doesn’t think that just because her medical skills are good, she can definitely find something wrong with things. She still remembers the snack with smallpox bean scab, but she couldn’t find the problem at first glance. If it weren’t for her
Be careful, I can't say she is the one with the acne scars on her face.
Luye heard her say that this food was inedible, so he took it and fed it to the pigs himself.
The next morning, when Chu Yunli woke up, Lu Ye came in with a shocked face.
"What's going on here?"
Green Leaf looked pale and almost cried, "Madam, that pig died last night."
"Oh?" Chu Yunli was still a little surprised. Du didn't give up on killing her yet. She stood up and dressed, "Let me take a look."
Surprisingly, the pig did die of illness and was red all over, but there was no sign of poisoning. Of course, she was not a veterinarian, so she couldn't see what was wrong.
But no matter what was in the snacks, it could kill someone. After returning to her room, she had breakfast and went to the main room again.
When she came in, little Mrs. Du was joking with Mrs. Du in a low voice beside the bed. Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law seemed very happy. During this period, Chu Yunli came every day, so the people at the door did not stop her. After entering the door, she walked to the inner room. Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law seemed very happy.
Only then did the two of them notice her.
Du Shi's eyes changed slightly, and little Du Shi stood up in shock, "Why are you here?"
"I'm here to take care of you!" Chu Yunli spread his hands, "I always come here at this time in the past, what's wrong? My younger siblings look surprised. Did something happen today?"
"No...no." Little Du Shi looked at Du Shi on the bed at a loss.
Du Shi squinted her eyes and looked at her, "You're here so early. Have you had breakfast?"
"Eat." Chu Yunli walked in, walked to her original seat, sat down, and picked up the book again, just like before.
Little Du felt very uncomfortable and found an excuse to go out after a quarter of an hour.
Chu Yunli didn't ask and read the book seriously.
But Mrs. Du couldn't help it anymore, "Have you tried the cold cake yesterday? I think it tastes good, very cold. No wonder it was sent to the palace so far. It is said that several horses were killed on the way."
"It's hard-won." Chu Yunli didn't raise her eyes and just said, "It's a pity, it's a waste." There was a profound meaning in his tone.
Du Shi looked at her and said, "The food is brought here just for noble people like us to eat. How can it be wasted after eating it?"
"The problem is that you can't eat that thing." Chu Yunli put down the book and told the maid, "You all get out!"
"No!" Du refused, "What are you asking them to do?"
Chu Yunli strolled to the bed, her voice became deeper, and she ordered again, "Get out! Close the door."
The maid trembled with fright and hurriedly ran out.
Everyone knows that this is a ruthless person who can kick people until their maids disobey and vomit blood. However, she is still the master, so she can only consider herself unlucky if she is kicked.
Soon only the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were left in the room. Chu Yunli crossed her arms and looked at the shivering Du family, "Mom, I'm a little curious, what was added to the cold cake? My pig didn't even stay overnight after eating it.
"Originally, I planned to eat meat from that pig during the Chinese New Year, but now I don't dare to eat it." She shook her head, "Tsk, tsk... it's such a waste."
Mrs. Du's face was full of fear, but she couldn't move her body and turned her head inside.
Chu Yunli stretched out his finger and raised her face, "Mother, what are you afraid of?"
While talking, cold fingers pinched her neck.
"You can't kill me!" Mrs. Du said hurriedly, "There are only two of us in this room. If I die, you can't escape the responsibility."
Chu Yunli nodded, "But what if you accidentally ate the cold cake you gave me?"
"No!" Mrs. Du opened her mouth to shout, but Chu Yunli's hand tightened, and she suddenly lost her voice. Facing her open mouth and frightened eyes, Chu Yunli smiled slightly and said, "Mother, I
But I have never done anything to you. You wanted to kill me when I entered the palace a few years ago. I didn't care about you, but that was not because I was afraid of you, but..." She was left to teach her two children by words and deeds.
How to deal with difficult elders.
It's a pity that it's useless. Jiang Yuhao learned it well enough on her own, but Yujia did. Unfortunately, she probably won't have a mother-in-law in the future, so she won't be able to use it.
Her hand became tighter and tighter, and Du Shi was already rolling her eyes. She let go again, and drank a cup of tea before she coughed. When she regained her breath, she suddenly found that she could not make a sound or speak.
In the midst of panic, I heard her say, "You only have one mouth left, and you can actually put medicine in the pastry. See what you can do."
There was a slight smile on Chu Yunli's face, "You want to kill me, do you want to take advantage of my child? Let me think about it, send Yujia to the palace? Then marry Yuhao to a girl from the Du family.
Be Mrs. Hou?"
Du Shi's face was filled with fear, and she kept opening her mouth to try to speak.
"It's a pity that I can't die that easily." Chu Yunli touched her face, "Stop trying, you will never think of speaking out again in your life."
Du Shi stared at her fiercely.
Chu Yunli spread her hands, "You want my life, I don't think I'm going too far."
Just at this moment, the door outside was pushed open, and little Mrs. Du hurriedly came in, "Mother..."
Chu Yunli turned around and said, "Mom seems to be unable to speak. Let's ask Doctor Gu to come."
In the next few days, both the imperial doctors from the palace and famous doctors from the capital were invited to the Marquis Mansion. However, no one found out what the problem was with Du Shi. However, some doctors hesitated and said that Du Shi's poor health seemed to be due to poisoning.
The reason he can't speak now is because the poison is getting more intense, but it's just his suspicion.
The poison on Du Shi was given by Jiang Qi. She just added a few drugs to intensify the toxicity. No matter who checked, they would only find Jiang Qi.
When the doctor expressed his suspicions, Jiang Qi immediately scolded him, "Quack doctor, you're talking nonsense. Even the doctors in the palace didn't say she was poisoned. Madam Hou is the Queen's biological mother. Who dares to poison her?"
Can I say whatever I want?"
He got so angry that the doctor was so frightened that he kowtowed repeatedly, saying that he had misdiagnosed him, and then he ran away very quickly, not even asking for Xie Yi.
Jiang Qi himself thought that maybe Du Shi could not speak because of the toxins that had accumulated for too long, so after seeing a doctor this time, he took the medicine prepared by the imperial doctor and stopped going to the doctor.
Chu Yunli had secretly seen the medicines prepared by the imperial doctors in the palace. They were all prepared with the mildest medicinal ingredients, which would not harm people. But for a cure, it was possible that she could find a doctor who was good at detoxifying before she gave the medicine. Now
...It is impossible for her to speak again in this life.
Of course, the last person Du Shi got along with before she lost her voice was Chu Yunli. Except for Jiang Qi, most of the people in the house suspected her, but they were just suspicions. No one knew that there were people in this world that the doctor could not find out.
Medicine for aphasia.
Jiang Qi didn't pursue the matter even when he saw it, and no one dared to ask more questions, including Xiao Du.
The weather is getting colder and colder. In the blink of an eye, it’s the end of the year, and spring comes after the beginning of spring. Nowadays, more and more people are coming from all over the capital. Those with money live in the inner city, and generally the rich live in the outer city, and the poorer ones live in the outer city.
Live in the suburbs.
Even Chu Yunli's Ci'an Hall has taken in many children recently, and their stay is not free. Everyone who lives there must help teach the children there.
After this calculation, in fact, Mrs. Du cannot die now. If she dies, Jiang Yuhao will not be able to participate in the Spring Festival next year.
After Du Shi became seriously ill, the queen sent someone to invite Chu Yunli into the palace, and specifically asked to bring Yujia with her.
Over the years, Chu Yunli has only entered the palace a limited number of times. The queen has preconceived notions about her and has never treated her well. Both of them dislike her. Therefore, the queen does not announce her often.
It was already afternoon when the news was received. Chu Yunli asked Luye to tell Yujia, and Qi Han came not long after.
These days, he often comes to stay for a while, saying that he is studying with his classmates.
He was a little anxious, "Madam, Xiaosheng heard that you will take Yujia into the palace tomorrow?"
"Yes." Chu Yunli asked someone to serve him tea, "The queen has a destiny and must obey it."
Qi Han became even more anxious, "I heard that there are two nuns given by the queen in Yujia's courtyard. Does she intend to let Yujia enter the prince's mansion?"
Seeing his anxiety, Chu Yunli was a little relieved. Nowadays, the hierarchy is clear. Not everyone has the courage to compete with the prince. "Who can guess the queen's thoughts?"
Qi Han was anxious, "Kneel down. Xiaosheng dares to ask you to give me Yu Jiaxin. I will definitely take good care of her and never make her feel uncomfortable or angry..."
"If it were an ordinary people's house and Yujia hadn't promised anyone yet, I would agree to it." Chu Yunli sighed, "Unfortunately not, we are the Marquis of Cheng'en, and everything we have is given by the Queen.
, we dare not disobey her orders."
Qi Han looked slightly pale, "I...I'll go and beg the emperor." He stood up as he spoke.
Chu Yunli raised her eyebrows and asked, "What are you going to ask for?"
Qi Han had a serious look on his face, "My parents are great contributors to Dayu. Their son wants to marry a legitimate daughter of the Marquis. The Emperor will not refuse."
That's true, but he is also a prodigal son. The credit that his parents saved so hard for him is not for him to use like this.
This kind of affection is rare, Chu Yunli smiled slightly, "My daughter, I can't bear to let her enter the palace."
Qi Han was overjoyed and said, "Thank you madam for making it possible."
Chu Yunli: "..." She really knows how to climb along the pole.
She smiled slightly and said, "I don't think I ever said I would give you Yu Jia. What have I accomplished for you?"
The joy on Qi Han's face suddenly froze!
