Chapter 273 Doubt

When Mrs. Qiu was about to leave the house, she was a little surprised when she heard Mrs. Zhao Ge's order to thank the guests behind closed doors and wait for Jin Xi.

Now that Mrs. Zhao Ge was eager to send someone to invite Jin Xi to the study, Mrs. Qiu couldn't describe her astonishment anymore.Not to mention the women in the inner house, even the less outstanding men in the family are not eligible to enter Mr. Zhao Ge's study.Chaozhong can count the guests that Mr. Zhao Ge received in his study with a slap of the palm of his hand.

Even when the prince came over occasionally, Elder Zhao Ge listened to Yuxuan's reception, and never invited the prince into his study.Today, Mr. Zhao Ge actually invited this Princess Leyi, who can't even run a family, to his study?

Now, Madam Qiu's eyes on Jin Xi changed.If the previous respect was due to Zhao Ge's instructions, Qin Xiao and the Queen Mother would lose face.This time, it was unbelievable under extreme shock.There must be something special about this girl, otherwise, my father-in-law wouldn't value her so much!
"Then I'll go to see Mr. Ge first, and I'll talk to Madam later!" Knowing that Mr. Zhao was going to see her, Jin Xi hurriedly greeted Mrs. Qiu to say goodbye.

Seeing her calmly following Steward Zhao to visit Elder Zhao Ge in the study, Mrs. Qiu stared straight at her.What a little girl who hides her secrets, she is not surprised or flustered at all.

Madam Qiu lowered her head and asked herself, if she heard that Zhao Ge was going to meet her in the study, would she be so calm and composed.After thinking for a while, she had to admit that she couldn't do it.Whether it's surprise or joy, weak legs are for sure!How can you just say and go so casually.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Qiu immediately made up her mind, teach!We must teach her how to run a family, not only to teach but to teach well!The relationship between Zhao's family and Hou Qingyuan is a matter between men. If she develops a relationship with this scheming princess, there will only be benefits and no harm to her two children in the future!
If Jinxi knew that she decided to meet Mr. Zhao Ge out of courtesy, it would cause such a big stir in Mrs. Qiu's heart.She had to yell injustice, she really didn't know what it meant when Mr. Zhao Ge met her in the study.If she knew, she would definitely feel her legs go limp, and following the principle that everything abnormal is a monster, she pretended to be dizzy on the spot.

Zhao Ge is so polite, she is not at ease!
Leaving aside the fact that Jinxi followed the housekeeper in a daze, it was only said that Mrs. Qiu planned to go back to her own Bihai Courtyard and was going to rest for a while.After all, she was getting older and used to being pampered, and when she went out to pick up Jin Xi early in the morning, she felt as if she was about to fall apart, her whole body was in severe pain.

After entering the courtyard, several aunts were setting rules in the corridor, and they wondered to themselves, who would she show them to if she wasn't at home?

Picking up the curtain and entering the room, she saw Zhao Qingtai leaning on the soft couch in front of the window with her eyes closed, Madam Qiu couldn't help cursing a vixen inwardly.Turning her face away, she winked at Xingzhi, the maid who is close to her, and Xingzhi went out knowingly, said a few soft and stinging jokes, and then drove the four or five gorgeous aunts back.

Only then did Qiu show a little smile. Seeing that Zhao Qingtai had indeed fallen asleep, she tiptoed into the room, washed her face, and changed into a home-made assorted-color wide-body jacket with sleeves. Then she came out, sat beside the soft couch, and gently Fan Zhao Qingtai.

Not only was Zhao Qingtai's handsome face not damaged by time, but instead it became stable.Mrs. Qiu fell in love with her more and more, and suddenly remembered what happened when they were young.Feeling anxious for a moment, he stretched out his little finger and gently brushed Zhao Qingtai's dark eyebrows...

Zhao Qingtai felt a little itchy on his face in a haze, thinking it was a little bug subconsciously reaching out to grab it, but he grabbed Mrs. Qiu's hand.Seeing Mrs. Qiu's cheeks flushed, her eyes flustered and she didn't dare to look at him, she couldn't help but smiled and said: "My cousin likes to play tricks on me, she hasn't changed her temper yet!"

"Who made fun of you! I... I saw a bug on your face..." Mrs. Qiu was caught by Zhao Qingtai, remembering that she was already old and her eldest son was about to get married, so she still played with this This little trick was suddenly so embarrassing that he couldn't even speak smoothly.

"Lying to your face! You should be punished!" Zhao Qingtai said, propping himself up on his arms suddenly, approaching Qiu Shi, and kissed him hard.

"You!" Mrs. Qiu was ashamed and startled, she almost wanted to find a crack in the ground to slip in.He secretly took a look around, but luckily the maids who were serving were all winking, and they had already left.Only then did he half ashamed and half angry say: "Being old and disrespectful, it must be a joke when people see it. How can I have the face to teach the supervisor of Yueyi County?"

"You want to teach Princess Yueyi to host Zhongfu?" Zhao Qingtai was still intoxicated with the excitement of successfully molesting his old wife, but when he heard this, his eyebrows were frowned, and he sat up straight and meditated.

Mrs. Qiu was taken aback by his words, and panicked: "Is there something wrong, then I will find a way to get her back!"

"But it's not wrong, it's just..." Zhao Qingtai frowned deeply, "How long has it been since you saw Mrs. Changping?"

Ok?Mrs. Qiu was taken aback, even though she was so clever, she couldn't keep up with Zhao Qingtai's large turn. "Are you afraid that Mrs. Changping will hold grudges about this matter?" She couldn't help but secretly annoyed that she was living more and more, and she didn't even think about this matter.

In any case, Madam Changping is also Qin Xiao's adoptive mother. Although she is not considered the serious mother-in-law of Princess Leyi, she will not be able to interfere in the affairs of the Qingyuan Houfu in the future.But in any case, he is still an elder who is on the side, and it is justifiable to teach Princess Leyi.She wants to fight out halfway and steal the limelight, Mrs. Changpingjian must hate her to death!

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it made sense, and she hurriedly said: "I will find a way to return to the princess tomorrow! This matter must not be involved!"

Although Mrs. Chang Ping is weak and notoriously incapable of housekeeping, and all major and minor matters in the family are decided by Uncle Chang Ping, but those are her own family affairs.No matter how weak the body is, it is not her turn to teach Princess Leyi.

"That's not what I mean!" Zhao Qingtai shook his head suddenly, "I just feel strange that Mrs. Changping has been very different since she returned to Beijing. A person will even change his temperament because of illness? The change is the same as before. Like two people?"

"You mean..." Mrs. Qiu shivered. She and Zhao Qingtai were cousins ​​and grew up together.After being married for many years, she and Zhao Qingtai have already connected with each other.Zhao Qingtai didn't need to say the whole thing, she could understand it just by mentioning it.But with this sentence, she was afraid that she would be wrong, so she asked involuntarily: "Are you suspicious that Mrs. Changping has been replaced by others?"

Zhao Qingtai nodded slightly, "I'm just skeptical." After all, he is not familiar with Mrs. Changping. He just learned that Mrs. Changping's temperament has changed drastically in recent years through various sources and different channels. The specific evidence is, He has none!

Mrs. Qiu fell into the chair with a thud, her lips were blue with fright, "If... if this is the case, where is the original Mrs. Changping?" It's a big secret!
But this matter has nothing to do with their Zhao family, as long as they don't come forward and don't get involved in this troubled water, it will be fine.

In a blink of an eye, Mrs. Qiu changed her mind again. In order to avoid Uncle Changping, she could not teach Princess Leyi to manage the family either!
Although Mrs. Qiu made up her mind, she still couldn't help being curious, "My father-in-law is in a hurry to ask Princess Leyi to go to the study, is this what you are talking about?"

Zhao Qingtai was surprised, "Father asked Princess Leyi to go to his study?"

"You don't know?" Mrs. Qiu was taken aback, seeing Zhao Qingtai shaking his head thoughtfully, the couple couldn't help but wry smiles at the same time.They didn't see through Mr. Zhao Ge!

Zhao Ge's single-handedly raised son didn't understand him well, and Jin Xi, who had only met him a few times, couldn't understand this Sanchao elder even more.

At this time, she was staring at Mr. Zhao Ge with two big eyes, trying to find even a trace of unnaturalness from the wrinkles on his face.It's a pity that her mind was lost, staring at it for too long, her eyes were sore, Zhao Ge still had that calm expression.

Jin Xi couldn't help but took a deep breath, and repeated what he had just heard like an idiot, "The second prince is dead? The queen is also dead? The court is keeping secrets now, and the Holy One actually asked Qin Xiao to investigate this matter secretly ?”

"That's right, Concubine Jiang Shu and the formed boy in her womb are also dead!" Elder Zhao Ge nodded lightly, not showing any impatience because of Jin Xi's expression that was struck by lightning.

Let alone a little girl, even he was stunned for a cup of tea when he heard the news.Seeing that the queen was in good health, she was happy for a while, invited the emperor to watch the moon, and called a few concubines to add to the fun.But before the meal was finished, the queen bled to death from seven orifices.The concubines were scared away on the spot, and before they could run away a few steps, the pregnant concubine Jiang Shu also fell to the ground.

The imperial physician finally detected arsenic from a plate of hibiscus shrimp balls, which happened to be Tao Zong's favorite dish.If it weren't for the thought that the queen had just recovered from a long illness, and she was afraid that she would lose her appetite, and asked her to have this dish as an appetizer, who would be bleeding from the seven orifices right now!
Knowing that the second prince bought this dish from Yushanfang, Daozong was shocked and angry, and ordered the second prince to be beaten to death on the spot.It's a pity that the scheming second prince was beaten to pieces before he could finish shouting out his grievances.

The more Daozong thought about it afterwards, the more something went wrong. The second prince had been deposed and turned into a commoner.Poisoning him to death would allow him to express his resentment, but based on Daozong's understanding of the second prince, his son was not stupid enough to kill the king just to vent his anger.

As long as he is still alive, he still has a chance to stand up.Once he died, no matter which prince ascended the throne, he would die. How could he be so stupid?
With this intuition, he ordered a thorough investigation of the matter.The Ministry of Criminal Justice, Dali Temple, and the people around him, Daozong didn't believe any of them. After much deliberation, he called Qin Xiao into the palace on the pretext of preparing for Xiao Feng's marriage, and ordered him to find the black hands behind the scenes at all costs.

Jin Xi finally recovered from the shock, felt his palms covered in cold sweat, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank God, it's fortunate that the secret was not lost, otherwise my marriage would have been delayed!"

"..." Mr. Zhao Ge remained calm for the rest of his life, but because of her breaking the truth, he almost spit out the tea he was drinking just now.

At this time, shouldn't you panic and ask the old man for help to help Qin Xiao?Actually...

Jin Xi didn't expect that the mouth was so much faster than the brain, and whatever was in her mind just wandered out.He smiled awkwardly, but secretly scolded Qin Xiao as a bastard, are you full, or are you tired of living?
Which person who mixed with the secrets of the royal family will end well?
Such a big thing is hidden from me, you just wait for me!
