There is always a rival who wants to attack me

Princess Meng of Qi County immediately fell to her knees, pleading guilty.The weak body in the disease could hardly support it.But the old lady Qi didn't care at all, she only had her own granddaughter in her eyes.

Su Yijin hid in the old matriarch's arms and looked at it coldly, feeling very happy in her heart.Even if it is a first-rank order, so what, no matter how big he is, he can't surpass the old matriarch. I have the favor of the old matriarch, and I am a legitimate and serious master in the Qijun palace!

Thinking of Li Xi's negligence towards her a few days ago, Su Yijin secretly decided in her heart that she must let out a bad breath this time!

On the other side, as soon as Li Xi came out of King Su's mansion, he ran into a servant sent by the old Madam Qi to find someone.

"You said Miss Biao is seriously ill right now, and the old lady hurriedly called me back for questioning?" His tone was unhurried, without any trace of worry.

"Yes, the elder sister who heard the news said that she had a red rash all over her body, which was painful and itchy. It was unbearable to sit and lie down. It was very frightening. After the young master saw it, he was in a hurry. He didn't wait for the old lady to order, and he rode out on his own. The government has invited an imperial physician."

"You are very smart." Li Xi nodded with a smile, and casually threw a silver coin to him, "When you meet my father later, you should tell the truth."

"Yes, lord." The servant agreed, lowering his eyebrows and putting Li Xi on the carriage.It seemed that she didn't see the maid who had been following Li Xi at all, after hearing her message, she quietly left and entered the corner gate of King Su's Mansion.

Leaning on the soft cushion, Li Xi tapped the table beside him with his index finger, looking very comfortable.

He knew very well in his heart that Su Yijin must have already arranged a huge net, just waiting for him to come to the door.

It's a pity that he didn't want to fulfill her wish.

With the corners of his lips raised, a sly smile flashed across Li Xi's face.

Su Yizhen was still too impatient, as soon as she found that the spices were inappropriate, she was busy setting up a trap to frame herself, and did not investigate carefully.

The spice was given to Qi Yueru by the side concubine of the Seventh Prince when her feet were grounded, and she begged for it in front of the Seventh Prince and passed it on to Su Yijin.The shining imperial seal paper on the box had not been opened before it was in Su Yijin's hands.

If there is really filth in the spices, it has nothing to do with him, Li Xi, but the struggle for power among the concubines of Prince Su's mansion.Even though Su Yijin took Qi Yueru through this time, she could only endure it.It's about the privacy of the prince's backyard, and it's not something she, a cousin of a small county prince's mansion, can easily guess.

What's more, the king of Qi County has always paid attention to reputation and cherishes feathers.

Such a big event happened, no one in the whole family told him.The eldest son Qi Junkun even took the post privately and invited an imperial doctor for an orphan girl who had no rank and stayed in the county prince's mansion to fight the autumn breeze.

Such a big fight made a mess.After Duke Qi knew about it, he must have been furious, and he was bound to severely punish Qi Junkun and Concubine Liu, who was in charge of trivial matters in the inner courtyard.

At that time, Su Yijin will be fine with the protection of the old matriarch, but Qi Junkun and Liu side concubine, the mother and son, will probably lose face in public!

Thinking of this, Li Xi leaned on the cushion behind him, closed his eyes and rested his mind, hiding all the treacherous and unpredictable thoughts in his eyes.

In a blink of an eye, the carriage arrived at the Duke's Mansion of Qi County.

Li Xi got out of the car, straightened his clothes, and said to the attendant at the door: "It's getting late, according to the rules, the inner courtyard has already released the key. As the eldest son, it's not good for me to go in alone. After all, I'm in sister Yijin's room right now. I'm afraid it's not only the old matriarch, but also many concubines of my father. If I go there rashly, it will inevitably attract people's attention. You take me to confess to the old matriarch first, and say that I will go immediately after I have seen my father. "

Following the order of the old matriarch, the servants waiting for Li Xi in front of the door looked at each other, not knowing what to do.But Li Xi was the eldest son, he didn't want to, and they couldn't force him.He had no choice but to follow what Li Xi said and go back to report.

The old matriarch Qi, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, immediately picked up the cup at the side and threw it at Princess Qi's feet after hearing the servant's reply: "Your good son, you know how to use the king to suppress me! "

"..." Mrs. Meng was not good at words, and couldn't think of how to defend her son for a while, so she could only kneel on the spot, anxiously listening to the scolding.The heartfelt maid behind her carefully moved forward to shield her from the stern gaze of Old Madam Qi.

Su Yijin leaned leisurely in the arms of the old matriarch, looked coldly at the concubine who was kneeling on the ground, and waited for Li Xi to come to her door.And side concubine Liu also picked up a veil to cover up the gloating smile on her lips.

Just when the two were secretly complacent, thinking that they could successfully bring down the direct line this time, many tall and burly maids suddenly poured in outside the door.They just knelt down and apologized to Mrs. Qi, then stepped forward and dragged Su Yijin out of her arms, threw them onto the vines beside her, and tried to tie them up with ropes.

"You bastards, what are you going to do!" Old Madam Qi was so angry that she couldn't speak.Concubine Liu, who was standing by the side, immediately went up and scolded her, and asked her maid to save Su Yizhen.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Duke Qi came in angrily with Li Xi, "What are you doing, I want to ask what you are doing!"

"My lord!" Concubine Liu was astonished, but she suppressed her expression and explained cautiously: "It's just dealing with some trivial matters in the back house, it's already so late, why are you here?"

Duke Qi snorted coldly, and pushed her away: "Short-eyed concubine, do I still need to report my whereabouts to you? Let me ask you, since you help your mother manage the inner court, why is Su Yijin pregnant?" He didn't report the serious illness. He also indulged Qi Junkun, an evil son, to spread it without telling the king, and even the Tai Hospital and King Su's mansion were alarmed. If Jing Xing hadn't been astute and reasonable, and informed me in time, our Qi family would have been severely punished. disaster!"

After saying that, he saw the concubine Zheng who was kneeling at the side, and said to Li Xi: "Jing Xing, help your mother up! All the guilty ones stand, and she, who has been sick for many days, joins in the fun."

"Yes." Li Xi agreed, and quickly helped Meng Shi up, and let her sit on a chair beside her.

Seeing Li Xi settle the concubine, King Qi also heaved a sigh of relief.Although he doesn't like the Meng family, Qi Yueru is very favored by the seventh prince and the first son, and the second son who was thought to be dull has also made progress, so he can't ignore her too much.In the blink of an eye, seeing Su Yijin on the side again, Duke Qi was even more displeased, and ordered all the servants: "What are you still dawdling about? Hurry up and tie them up and send them to Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing!"

"Yes!" The servant who received the order restrained Su Yijin violently, and quickened his movements.

"Grandmother!" With her hands and feet held down by her servants, Su Yijin was anxious and frightened, calling out to Old Madam Qi in a mournful voice.She didn't understand at all why the situation that had been set up so well would suddenly become like this.Su Yijin stared at Li Xi full of resentment, wishing she could bite off some quick flesh on him.

Mrs. Qi also recovered from her astonishment, chopping off the dragon's head and crutches, and cursed loudly: "You scoundrel! What are you going to do? Could it be that my old lady is not pleasing to the eye, and you want to kill my caring granddaughter first? Send me again!"

The old lady was gasping for breath.The hand pointing at Duke Qi kept trembling.Seeing that she was so agitated, the servant who was pressing Su Yijin didn't dare to move anymore.Su Yijin didn't care about pretending to be weak, she took this opportunity to break free, and hid behind Old Madam Qi.Old Madam Qi hugged her in his arms and cried heartily.

"Mother, why are you bothering!" King Qi fell to his knees and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Seeing this scene, Li Xi quickly persuaded: "Grandmother, please don't get angry, father doesn't mean to make you unhappy."

His words seemed to let Old Madam Qi find a way to vent.She raised her crutches and threw it at Li Xi fiercely, cursing, "It's all instigated by you, the mourning star! I never see you greet me on weekdays, but now I just start learning after a few days after seeing how happy I am." Mo, if I knew you were so unfilial, I should have been beaten to death when I was born!"

"Old Madam!" Seeing Li Xi being beaten, Mrs. Meng rushed over to block him, but he gently pushed her away.

The heavy crutch fell on Li Xi's back, making a muffled sound.Su Yijin's eyes flashed with joy, but she still pretended to hold Old Madam Qi's hand and advised her not to get too angry.

Li Xi naturally felt Su Yijin's gloating. He knelt in front of the old matriarch Qi and said sincerely: "Grandmother, Jing Xing knows that you have been feeling sad because of your aunt's untimely death. He also feels sorry for Yijin's sister who is lonely and reluctant to part with her." She was wronged. But you can't misunderstand your father like this.

The reason why my father sent her to Zhuangzi is also for your health.On weekdays, those of us who are juniors just cough twice, and dare not come to your yard for fear of making you sick, not to mention that Su Yijin suffers from a serious illness.According to the rules, it should be reported to the government immediately and sent to avoid illness, so as not to infect others.But Su Yijin not only has no worries, she even intentionally gets close to you and throws herself into your arms.This angered his father.

Grandma, if you think about it, our family is not as small as others.He couldn't bear her to go out to suffer and leave people behind, and it was fine to close the door and no one would know.But now Da Zhou only left a king with a different surname in the palace of Qi County, so many pairs of eyes were staring at us, waiting to catch our mistakes.If Su Yijin's matter breaks out today, tomorrow there will be an impeachment from the censor to impeach his father for lax family management.

And these days, the Seventh Prince often visits our residence.The Seventh Prince walks in front of the imperial court, if it is safe and sound, it is fine. Once the Seventh Prince is infected and the Holy Majesty is tired, even if [-] lives are lost in our Qi Manor, we will not be able to pay back!Jing Xing was presumptuous, begging his grandmother to think twice. "

"This..." Mrs. Qi was a little hesitant when she was told.It's true that she hates Li Xi and Meng Shi, and prefers Su Yijin and Concubine Liu who are good at flattering her, but she prefers power.Her current wealth and comfort all stem from the century-old foundation of the Qi County Prince's Mansion.Which is more important, she knows better than anyone else.

As Mrs. Qi thought about it, the eyes that fell on Su Yijin became a little complicated.

Seeing the hesitation in her eyes, Su Yijin panicked, she didn't care to wait for Qi Junkun to bribe the imperial doctor to come back before tricking Li Xi, she knelt down and told the truth: "Grandmother, uncle, Yijin was really wronged. I didn't suffer from any serious illness, it was because I used the Requiem Incense that Jing Xing gave me to become like this."

Su Yijin was deeply distressed, wiped away her tears, and told what happened.

Ever since she burned the spices she got from Li Xi, she became sleepy and lethargic.I thought it was because the bait of Requiem was too domineering, so I didn't pay much attention to it.But a few days later, many small rashes appeared on her face and body, and her face was so swollen that she couldn't see anyone. Fortunately, the ointment was used to relieve it.

Su Yijin cried and lay on the lap of Old Madam Qi: "Grandmother, you know about Yijin. If it wasn't really serious, how could Yijin have the heart to let you worry about it? Besides, this spice is harmful. The maids Hong Xiu and Lu Yi can all testify, Yi Jin is not talking nonsense!"

"It's really unreasonable!" Li Xi interrupted Su Yijin's words, and retorted mockingly: "This requiem incense was given to me by the eldest sister in front of the Seventh Prince. I’m just a son of a county prince with no real power, how can I have the ability to tamper with things made by the emperor? What’s more, you have always emphasized that your illness is caused by spices, so why do you The two maids by your side accompany you every day, but they don't respond at all? Such inversion of right and wrong, not knowing right from wrong, clearly intends to frame me!"

"This..." Su Yijin was forced to ask by Li Xi, but she didn't know how to answer for a while.After hearing Li Xi's words, Old Madam Qi also had some doubts about Su Yijin.

"Old Madam, please trust Yijin. The maids are fine. Maybe it's because they are not as infiltrated as Yijin, so they don't have any obvious reaction. After all, the guards at night are rotated according to shifts, and there is no fixed one person. When the night is over and it is daytime, if you open the window, all the smells will dissipate, and it will be fine. This does not mean that there is no problem with the spice itself." Su Yizhen looked at Li Xi angrily, and bit her to death Don't let go.

"Then let the doctor come for an examination!" Li Xi knelt down and kowtowed to the king of Qi County and the old matriarch, "Grandmother, father, Jing Xing thinks that he is an upright person and would not do such harmful things. I beg you two Take pity on Jing Xing, pass the doctor into the mansion, and give Jing Xing justice."

Duke Qi and Grand Madam Qi also felt strange, so they agreed.At this moment, Qi Junkun, who went to invite the imperial doctor, has not come back yet, but Dr. Hu, who often goes to the mansion to ask the old lady for a pulse, has already arrived.The old lady Qi asked her maid to take the spices and let him check.

After a while, the maid came back and knelt down with a plop, her face was pale as if she had heard some horrible words and was terribly frightened.

Seeing this situation, Mrs. Qi knew that there was indeed something wrong with the spice.

But Li Xi was so swearing, he obviously didn't know the tricks in it.

Could it be Qi Yueru?

The old matriarch remembered that Li Xi said that Qi Yueru had rewarded this incense just now, and couldn't help but think a little more.

The Seventh Prince has an affair with Su Yijin, which is already known to the entire family, could it be that Qi Yueru is dissatisfied with this, so he uses Li Xi's hand to punish her?

if it is like this……

Thinking of this, Mrs. Qi and Duke Qi looked at each other, and asked, "What did Doctor Hu say?"

"Doctor Hu said that the reason Miss Biao had rashes was because her body was not in harmony with the white sandalwood in this spice. As long as she didn't touch it, she would get better and there was no need to prescribe medicine. Although this fragrance can't make people suffer from stubborn diseases, but... ...but get in the way of it."

"Where is it?" Old Madam Qi asked urgently.

The maid swallowed her saliva and replied: "Returning to the old lady, this requiem incense contains a lot of musk, and the ingredients are all high-quality. If a woman is pregnant, she will have a miscarriage within three days. If it is Infertility, long-term use will also affect offspring, making it difficult to conceive."

"How could this be..." Li Xi's face turned pale in an instant, and he muttered to himself: "When the elder sister gave the incense, she said that this incense was given to her by Concubine Xiao because she was worried that she would be too thoughtful during pregnancy and would find it difficult to sleep peacefully. of……"

Duke Qi and the old lady also changed their faces.

Things became a bit complicated, since this incense was given to Qi Yueru by Concubine Xiao, it means that the prince in Qi Yueru's womb had plots against her.But no matter what, it is beyond their control when it comes to the secrets of the Seventh Prince's backyard.

Old Madam Qi pondered for a while, and said: "It's not a serious illness, so take a good rest! Jin'er, you just said that the ointment on your hand is easy to use, so you don't have to bother the doctor to come in for a pulse diagnosis. My daughter's , this kind of disease is not easy to spread to everyone.”

"Grandmother..." Su Yijin's eyes widened in surprise, she couldn't believe that the old lady who always doted on her would treat her like this.

"There is no need to say any more. If you are sick, take care of yourself. When you are ready, when will you go to pay your respects to your grandmother." After the old lady Qi finished speaking, she got up with her maid and planned to leave.

This can be regarded as grounding Su Yijin in disguise.

Before leaving the house, she asked someone to take away the spice box, and told King Qi County that he must send a greeting card to King Su's mansion tomorrow morning, and she wanted to meet the princess in person.

King Qi Jun agreed, and sent the old lady out first, and then returned to the yard.

On the grounds of not taking good care of her, the Duke of Qi ordered someone to beat Su Yizhen's two big servant girls with [-] slaps each, and let the other servants watch the punishment.He also strictly prohibited people in the mansion from discussing anything related to today, saying that if any rumors reached his ears, no one present today would even want to live.

Before leaving, he glared at Concubine Liu who was kneeling beside him, and said coldly: "From today on, Concubine Liu will take back all the rights of Concubine Liu to be in charge of the family, and Qi Junkun is grounded."

"Jun Wang!" Concubine Liu hurriedly took a few steps on her knees, reaching out her hand to grab the corner of her clothes in pleading voice, with tears in her eyes, she was very weak and pitiful.

However, King Qi Jun showed no mercy, kicked the man away, and said coldly: "If you have the time to intercede with me, why don't you teach your son well. Being so obsessed with a woman, you let people use you as gunmen everywhere. He also stole the invitation to invite the imperial doctor, thanks to him. After reading books for so many years, I still haven’t made any progress, and I don’t know if I’ve read all the books into the dog’s belly!”

After speaking, he left and went to the front yard without looking back.Concubine Liu wanted to say something, but the maid beside her covered her mouth and escorted her back to her bedroom.

In the blink of an eye, Su Yijin's courtyard was empty, only Li Xi who was left behind to serve as prison for King Qi was still standing outside the door.

She leaned on the couch slumped, looking confused.

Hearing the howls of Hong Xiu and Lu Yi being punished in the yard, Su Yijin couldn't help wrapping her arms around her shoulders tightly.

One step wrong, step by step wrong.

Who would have thought that the box of requiem incense was actually given by Concubine Xiao to Qi Yueru in order to cause her to have a miscarriage?

She thought she could take this opportunity to pull the two off in one fell swoop, but in the end she was forced to ground herself.Not only has Qi Junkun been implicated, but even the old lady who has always been protecting her has changed her mind.

This damn Qi Jingxing!

Su Yijin waited fiercely for Li Xi's back, cursing in her heart.

Li Xi, whose back was turned to her, seemed to sense her curse, and suddenly looked back at her.

The boy's black and white cat pupils were wanton and bright, but the corners of his raised lips revealed a sinister smile.

He stepped towards Su Yijin, blood was splashed on the hem of his robe due to his imprisonment, and he looked even more frightening.

Su Yijin backed away in fear, staring at him with wide eyes.

Seeing this, Li Xi stopped, and said slowly: "I have finished all the things that my father told me, so I will leave now. Before leaving, I have to remind sister Yijin. There are some things that cannot be said more , otherwise, people will really die!"
