People who think I'm ugly are so sweet

The faces of the people present all changed in shock. "What do you mean is almost gone? Make it clear!" Xu Taihe said in shock.

The young man was crying, "I don't know, I don't know. A senior official came to the mansion just now, saying that Madam Xu Yuan's life is dying, and she may not last long. Let us be mentally prepared."

"Where is the inner officer who came to deliver the message now?"

"He hurried back to the palace after he finished speaking, the little one couldn't stay even if he wanted to!"

Mrs. Zhang said anxiously: "A while ago, I went to the palace to see the empress, and she was fine. She is fine, why is she suddenly critically ill?"

"Mother, don't worry." Lin Ruyun said, "The imperial physicians in the palace are all superb in medical skills, and they will definitely be able to bring the concubine Yuan back from the gate of hell."

Xu Changying and Xu Xilu looked at each other tacitly, and saw their doubts in each other's eyes. "Xilu," Xu Changying said in a low voice, "Could it be that this is also your handwriting?"

Xu Xilu was dumbfounded: "If I have such a great ability, I can drag Concubine Xu Yuan into the water so quickly, why am I still tossing around here?"

Xu Changying thinks about it too, no matter how clever Xu Xilu is, he can't reach the harem.She frowned and said: "Concubine Xu Yuan is in critical condition at this time, it is too coincidental."

"She may not be suffering from a sudden illness."

Xu Changying covered his mouth, "You mean..."

"Just wait." Xu Xilu calmly said, "There will always be news."

Just like last time when Xu Qing was brought into the palace by Liu Jinzhong, the Xu family got together again anxiously waiting for the news.After Xu Qingyang became a concubine, she was favored for a period of time, and Xu Taihe was also highly regarded by her colleagues in the previous dynasty.Although Xu Qingyang has never sought anything for the Xu family in front of the Holy Majesty, she is the daughter of the Xu family after all. If she really died in the harem, it would be luck if she died of illness. If she offended the Holy Majesty, she would be given death Yes, the Xu family can't get away with it.

Waiting until it was dark, there was still no news from the palace.The two boys in Yu's family were tired from playing, and they were clamoring to go home. The adults didn't care about them, and they cried even harder. Finally, Yu Rongbei took them out one by one and cleaned them up.

Zhang said: "Changying, it's getting late, you and my uncle take the child back first."

"It's okay, ma'am." Xu Changying said, "There is such a big incident at home, we don't feel at ease when we leave."

Mrs. Zhang's face paled when she heard the words, "As the saying goes, if you get married, your daughter will splash the water. There are some things that the Xu family can know for themselves, and others can..."

"Ma'am, what do you mean?" Xu Changying said loudly, "I am my father's daughter, the elder sister of Concubine Yuan, don't I have the right to know what happened?"

Xu Xuanying on the side stood up to speak for her mother, "Eldest sister's words are wrong. Since the second sister has entered the palace, she will be the emperor's concubine first, then the Xu family's daughter, and finally our second sister. The matter of the concubine , unless the emperor is willing to let us know, even father can't ask."

Xu Changying's face changed suddenly, and just as he was about to refute, he heard Xu Xilu say: "Brother is right. Sister, you are still pregnant, why don't you go back first."

"Xilu!" Xu Changying was anxious and angry, "Why do you..."

Seeing that a few people were about to quarrel, Xu Taihe suddenly took the case again, "Shut up!" At such a critical juncture, it's fine if the family members don't work together, but they can still quarrel.Xu Taihe was anxious and hated, and was about to continue to attack when the boy who reported the letter ran in again, "Master, someone is coming from the palace!"

Xu Taihe hurriedly said: "Invite people here!"

The person who came to Xu's mansion this time was Zhu Neiguan who was on duty in the harem. He was welcomed into the hall by Xu Taihe and others, and before he even had time to drink, he said, "Concubine Yuan's life is saved." After everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Neiguan Zhu added, "It's just a pair of blind eyes."

Xu Xilu was taken aback for a moment—is Xu Qingyang blind?The wish he said casually came true, it can't be such a coincidence... Could it be that Mr. Lu who met in Xunjiang that day is really Jiangshen?

Xu Taihe said in horror: "Blind? What do you mean?"

"It's the empress, she won't be able to see anything from now on."

Xu Xuanying stepped forward and asked: "Dare to ask my father-in-law, what disease did your mother suffer from that caused her to suddenly lose her eyesight?"

"Alas," Zhu Neiguan said with a broken heart, "Your Majesty is not sick, she was poisoned by someone, and she became what she is now."

"Poison?" Zhang's Li Li feared, "Who has the guts to poison the concubine Yuan?!"

Zhu Neiguan said leisurely: "Madam, don't worry, the person who poisoned has been found out by the emperor, and the emperor will definitely give the imperial concubine Yuan justice. Well, the matter is over, our family should return to the palace and return to life."

"Eunuch Zhu," Xu Taihe stepped forward to stop him, "Can't you reveal any more?"

"What should be said, our family has already said it; what should not be said, even if we are killed, our family will not dare to say it." Zhu Neiguan said politely, "Master Shang Shu, please don't embarrass our family."

After Neiguan Zhu left, the whole family fell into silence, and everyone's faces were ugly, especially Mrs. Zhang, who was panicked and ashamed.Xu Xuanying supported her by the side, for fear that she would faint at any time.

Lin Ruyun said softly: "The imperial concubine Yuan has her own auspiciousness, and she will definitely be able to turn bad luck into good luck just like Sister An Ning."

At this moment, Xu Xilu suddenly smiled softly.

Xu Taihe cast cold eyes, "You can still laugh at this time?"

"Father, don't you think it's a coincidence?" Xu Xilu said, "An Ning was poisoned by someone, and her eyes were broken; now Concubine Yuan is poisoned like her, and she is blind. Isn't this just God's will?" ?”

"Second, what nonsense are you talking about!" Mrs. Zhang scolded, "An Ning has eaten something bad, and has nothing to do with others!"

Xu Xilu turned to Mrs. Zhang, and said calmly, "Whether An Ning has eaten something bad or has been poisoned, madam, you should know best?"

"Second brother, don't you want to spout blood." Xu Xuanying said angrily, "According to what you mean, could it be that my mother poisoned the third sister?"

Xu Xilu ignored him, and took out a testimonial from his sleeve and handed it to Xu Taihe, "Father, please see, this is written by the king's court judge who treated Anning that day, and it has the seal of the imperial hospital on it. He can prove that , the symptoms of the third sister are caused by mixing Xixia bird's nest and cold food."

Mrs. Zhang took a sharp breath, and tightly grasped Xu Xuanying's arm.

After reading the testimony of the court judge, Xu Taihe questioned: "This Western Xia bird's nest is a tribute that can only be used by the royal family. Why can An Ning use it?"

Xu Xilu said: "As far as I know, madam has visited Concubine Xu Yuan twice in the palace, presumably those bird's nests were rewarded by Concubine Xu Yuan at that time?"

Zhang Shiqiang calmed down: "So what?"

"There are strict regulations in the palace. When distributing Xixia bird's nest, the taboo of using it must be repeatedly emphasized. Madam has received rewards twice, so you don't know about it?"

Xu Xuanying looked at Mrs. Zhang in surprise, "Mother, you..."

"I know, so what?" Mrs. Zhang said without looking sideways, "I also told An Ning about the taboo of Xixia bird's nest. It's because An Ning didn't pay attention. Could it be possible to blame me?"

Xu Xilu sneered, "An Ning obviously doesn't even know what Xixia bird's nest is. It's irresponsible for Madam to say so."

"Then according to the second young master, Madam poisoned Miss San on purpose?" Zhu Ping said, "But Madam, what reason does she do that?"

Xu Changying said sharply: "Master is talking, why are you a servant interrupting!"

Zhu Ping shut his mouth resentfully, and Xu Xuanying said, "Zhu Ping's words are not unreasonable. Second brother, you keep saying that my mother intentionally poisoned my third sister. Why did she do that? Do you have any evidence?" "

Xu Taihe's head hurt from the quarrel, he said tiredly: "Xi Lu, this must be a misunderstanding, An Ning must have remembered it wrong, but fortunately she is fine..."

"Is An Ning okay?" Xu Xilu almost laughed out loud, "The residual poison is not clear, she can see things blurry, she was originally a healthy girl, but now she has become a medicine jar, and she can only lie on the bed all day——Father , you think she's okay?"

Lin Ruyun said cautiously: "Xi Lu, this is a big matter, and it's really inappropriate to point it out without evidence."

Xu Xilu took a deep breath and was about to continue his theory when he heard a deep voice say, "I have evidence."

Everyone followed the prestige, only to see an unfamiliar man with a knife appearing at the entrance of the lobby at some time.Mrs. Zhang was going crazy, and shouted: "What is this thing?! How did he get in, are everyone dead? Why didn't anyone report it!"

"Mother," Xu Xuanying trembled, "this person is Prince Duan's personal bodyguard, Xuan Mo."

Even Xu Xilu was surprised, "Xuan Mo, why are you here?"

Xuan Mo said concisely, "My lord asked me to come."

Knowing the identity of the visitor, Xu Taihe dared not neglect, "This strong man, what orders does Prince Duan have?"

"My lord ordered me to bring someone here." Xuan Mo turned his side, only then did everyone realize that there was a woman with a hood behind him, who was dressed like a maid in a palace.

Mrs. Zhang felt that this person's figure was even familiar, "You are..."

The woman bowed to Xu Taihe and said: "The maidservant's name is Pei Lan, and she is the eldest maid in the imperial concubine's palace."

"It's...it's you!" Zhang's Five Colors Wuzhu said, "What are you doing here!"

"The servant is ordered by Prince Duan to testify for Second Young Master Xu."
