Tragic death on wedding night, replacement doctor concubine reborn to kill the whole family

The two of them walked hand in hand to the dining hall of Wende Hall.

Tang An immediately sent someone to the imperial kitchen to pass on the message and ask for dinner to be served.

"How was your talk with my brother?" Xie Yunchu was still quite concerned about the progress.

Xiao Yao said, "I was a rogue, but my brother helped me once." After a pause, she said uncertainly, "Next time, my brother may not help me."

Xie Yunchu held her hand, not shying away from the people coming and going in the palace, "No, if it happens once, there will be a second time."

"I hope so." In fact, she thought so too.

When they were about to reach the dining hall, Xiao Yao suddenly stopped and said, "There is something I asked Chujiu to do. Don't ask him."

Chujiu is his after all, and he will definitely ask about it if he is busy all day and not seen.

Xie Yunchu thought about it for a moment. Not to mention Tang An and Yi Rui, there were so many people in the palace, but why did Chujiu have to do it? What else could it be?

See through it but don’t speak it out.

Just like before, Master Rong, his father, mother and even Chujiu could all give him advice, but the Emperor and the Empress Dowager could never help him pursue A Yao.

Since it was their fate, he wouldn't have to worry if someone came to his aid.

Xiao Yao saw that he looked indifferent, so he should have guessed it.

This guy, it has to be said, has a pretty good brain.

Less than a quarter of an hour after they arrived at the dining hall, people from the imperial kitchen began to serve meals one after another.

Xiao Chen also arrived on time at this time.

"Royal brother." Xiao Yao stood up with a smile, and did not take away the hand that was held by Xie Yunchu, and greeted him.

Xiao Chen was no longer surprised.

To him, the sticky love between them was no different from eating and talking.

----

Duke Xie’s Mansion.

When Chujiu returned to the Duke's Mansion, it was already dark.

He did not go to the main courtyard to pay his respects to Duke Xie and his wife, but went directly to Xie Ying's courtyard.

Xie Ying was holding the storybook and feeling worried when she heard her personal maid say that Chujiu wanted to see her.

"Let him in quickly."

Today, Xiao Chen was brewing tea and appreciating flowers on the island in the middle of the lake. He didn't take a fancy to the portraits of the noble ladies, and he didn't even look at the noble ladies who were reciting poems and composing couplets in the Plum Garden.

How could a man like this marry a princess?

It is simply harder than reaching the sky.

After Chujiu entered the room, he knelt down in front of Xie Ying and said, "Miss, Chujiu, Chujiu greets you."

"Get up." It's quite sentimental.

But why did Chujiu look so sad? "But what happened in the palace?"

Chujiu had an expression that said, "Miss, you'd better not ask anymore."

How could I not ask?

Xie Ying said: "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't keep it to yourself for so long without saying anything."

Chujiu looked up and saw that, as expected, there were no weak women in Duke Xie’s mansion.

Although the eldest daughter is of outstanding virtue, she is not a weak and timid girl.

Chujiu cleared his throat and glanced at the maid who was serving him.

Xie Ying raised his hand, "All of you go down."

"Yes, ma'am."

After all the servants had left, Xie Ying said, "You can tell me now." She instinctively felt that it must be related to her eldest brother.

Chujiu said: "I just can't bear it."

"My lady, you all know that the emperor now lives in Wende Hall, while the master lives in Jinrong Palace. This servant is very worried."

Chujiu was about to cry as he spoke.

Xie Ying's heart also began to wrench. His elder brother finally got together with the person he loved, but the result was like this.

Tell her, what is true love in this world?

But she couldn't find fault with the emperor.

Xie Ying twisted her handkerchief, "I am also anxious, but you don't know that the prince did look at the portraits I sent to him today, but he didn't like any of them. I wanted to help my elder brother, but I was powerless."

Chujiu suddenly had an idea, "That may not be the case."

"what?"

"The eldest lady said that His Royal Highness Prince Chen has seen the portrait you sent today?"

Xie Ying nodded, "Yes, he saw it."

Chujiu suddenly felt that His Royal Highness Prince Chen was somewhat intriguing. He agreed to attend his master's plum blossom viewing banquet, but requested not to be disturbed by outsiders.

But his master asked someone to send him portraits of the ladies, and he agreed.

"Excuse me, young lady, when you went to deliver the portrait, did His Royal Highness Prince Chen get angry when he saw you?"

"Look, he doesn't look angry."

"The eldest lady also said that he had seen those portraits?"

"Yes, I have seen it." Xie Ying answered firmly.

Chujiu was thinking about something, his eyes rolling around, "If he really had no worldly desires, why would he look at those portraits?"

Xie Ying: “…”

Xie Ying: “!!!”

"You mean, he actually knew that this flower viewing banquet was set up for him, so he attended the appointment, but he did not meet with the ladies when he attended the appointment. This, this is a bit confusing."

Chujiu couldn't explain it clearly, so he just said, "It's really hard to guess the mind of His Royal Highness Prince Chen."

However, the Emperor said that the eldest lady's white jade peach blossom hairpin and His Royal Highness Prince Chen's peach blossom hairpin were both given by Rong Jianzheng, which shows that the eldest lady and Prince Chen are a perfect match made in heaven.

Your Majesty, the masters are all acting as matchmakers.

What else does he have to worry about?

Chujiu said, "Miss, have you looked carefully? Did he really not even glance at the girls in those portraits?"

Xie Ying nodded, then shook her head. At first she looked at him quietly, and there was no expression on his face.

Later, what did she do?

"There's also a portrait of you, Miss, in that portrait. What was his reaction when he saw you, Miss?"

Xie Ying was stunned. "My——"

"My portrait was at the very end. Later -" she suddenly remembered something, "my portrait disappeared. I don't know if I lost it accidentally or what happened."

“The eldest lady’s portrait is lost?” Chujiu felt puzzled. Could it be that His Royal Highness Prince Chen had put it away?

That's not right. His Royal Highness Prince Chen obviously has no interest in any girls, so why would he collect the eldest lady's portrait?

Like a fairy tale.

Xie Ying nodded, "Anyway, when those portraits were returned to big brother, there wasn't any portrait of me."

Seeing Chujiu's cunning expression, Xie Ying laughed, "Don't you think that it was His Royal Highness Prince Chen who hid my portrait?"

"I—I don't think so," but "could it be possible?"

Xie Ying shook his head.

Chujiu asked again, "The eunuch who rowed the boat left without saying goodbye. When the young lady came out, there was no boat. How did she get to the shore? How did she get back to the mansion?"

Xie Ying no longer considered Chujiu an outsider.

She told Chujiu everything, because Chujiu was the only person she could discuss things with.

My father and mother grow flowers and plants and take care of the family business and live a leisurely life.

Xie Jiaojiao is still young.

Therefore, I don’t want the whole family to worry about my eldest brother’s difficulties.

"His Royal Highness Prince Chen will personally take you out of the island in the middle of the lake—"

"Ah."

"Good boy - oh no, the slave is guilty, the slave said it was too shocking."

Xie Ying expressed her understanding, she didn't expect Xiao Chen to be so gentlemanly.

"Your Highness Prince Chen certainly understands that men and women should not have physical contact with each other." Chu Jiu said this while looking at Xie Ying with other thoughts in her eyes.
