Chapter 9: Murder and Burn the Corpse
"Prince Princess, please take a look to see if there are any errors or omissions." Mother Ji said, opening the medicine package and letting Su Yinyue take a look.
Su Yinyue's face changed when she saw it: "Why is there a missing piece of purple dong grass? Is it because the medical center didn't give it enough?"
Mother Ji thought for a while and then denied: "No, when the doctor was dispensing the medicine, he specifically showed the purple donkey grass to the old slave and said that only his medical clinic in the capital had such a place. It was for the sake of the prince.
It will be taken out for my own sake."
After flipping through it, there was a small cut in the medicine bag. The cut was complete, as if it had been cut open by a razor blade.
It was dark outside, and Grandma Ji was in a hurry, so she didn't notice it.
"Then who else has taken over the medicine bag?" Su Yinyue asked again.
"It's Grandma Li!" Grandma Ji's eyes were filled with anger. "When I came back, I was hit by her and the medicine bag fell to the ground. She helped to pick it up! She must have taken the purple donkey grass along with it!"
While speaking, Mother Ji had already stood up: "Even if I risk my life, I will get the medicine back!"
"Mom, wait!" Su Yinyue said with a frown, "What Aunt Li did was a dirty trick, and they will definitely not return it. And by just making trouble like this, they knew that the prince was seriously ill and in a coma, and that Chang Wuying was not around.
Prince's Mansion, if they come to force us, we weak women will not be able to protect the Crown Prince."
Nanny Ji was upset and blamed herself. It was just that she couldn't handle the matter well, and she almost put her master in danger!
"Does the imperial concubine have any ideas?" Nanny Ji was confused and could only rely on Su Yinyue for advice.
Su Yinyue glanced at Chu Jifeng on the bed and thought of a way.
The poisonous blood in Chu Jifeng's heart veins could not be forced out, so he could only take decoction within an hour to protect his heart veins.
If there are other medicinal herbs, that’s it, but it is the extremely rare purple dong grass!
No, she has to protect him no matter what this time!
Su Yinyue had a flash of inspiration and asked suddenly: "Do you know how Xu Qingyuan's body was disposed of?"
Nanny Ji was so anxious that she didn't know why Su Yinyue asked about this trouble, so she could only reply casually: "The Xu family does not have roots in the capital, so naturally Xu Qingyuan must be sent back to his hometown for burial. I heard that the princess has already asked someone to buy a coffin.
, we plan to transport Xu Qingyuan’s body back tomorrow.”
Su Yinyue breathed a sigh of relief: "It's not too late."
"What are the plans of the Crown Princess?" Mother Ji looked confused.
Su Yinyue curled her lips and said, "More vicious than them, let the princess send the medicine back in person."
Earlier, Princess Ling learned that Nanny Ji had left the house in a hurry. She felt strange and sent Nanny Li to find out.
Half an hour later, Grandma Li finally came back.
She took out a handkerchief from her sleeve pocket and opened it. There was a piece of purple dongcao inside, and said: "Mama Ji went out to buy medicinal materials, and the old slave sent Ji Shun to bring this."
Chu Jingxian's cheeks were red and swollen. When she heard this, she was agitated and subconsciously said, "Mother Ji is from Izumo Pavilion. How dare you mess with her? Are you crazy?!"
If her face gets beaten again, it will turn into a pig's head!
"Third Miss, after listening to what the old slave said, Nanny Ji was so anxious to go out to buy medicine at night, it must be that the prince is seriously ill again." Nanny Li went on to say, "The old slave took the medicinal materials and asked Doctor Liang, and he said this
It's purple dong grass, and one piece of it can bring people back to life. They also said that since the prince has used this herb, he should be breathing his last breath, so the third lady doesn't have to worry about the prince coming."
When Chu Jingxian heard this, she immediately became energetic: "Is he really going to die?! Will Aunt Ji buy a second piece of purple dong grass?"
Grandma Li said: "Third Miss, don't worry, Doctor Liang said there is no second tablet in Beijing. I am lucky, and I got this rare medicinal material right away. Even God is helping the princess."
She did all this at the risk of offending Chu Jifeng, just because she wanted Princess Ling to become the real mistress of the palace, and then she would also prosper and her descendants would benefit.
"Great!" Princess Ling smiled happily. The anger she had suffered in the past two days had completely dissipated at this moment. "Chang Wuying is not in the house. If Aunt Ji comes to ask for medicinal materials, we deny it and she can't do anything to us. Aunt Li
, this time you have made a great contribution!"
She held onto the Zidongcao, and Chu Jifeng should return to the west soon. She also wanted to go out of the Cloud Pavilion to watch how Chu Jifeng died.
However, with Xu Qingyuan's experience, Princess Ling did not dare to go to Izumo Pavilion at will, lest she die like Xu Qingyuan.
If Chu Jifeng was fine, then she would push Nanny Li out to block her, no matter what, it would not be a loss.
Of course, Grandma Li didn't know that her master had such vicious thoughts, she just wanted to have good days come soon.
Not long after, a maid outside shouted in panic: "Princess! It's not good! It's not good!"
The three of them looked at each other, feeling excited.
Could it be that Chu Jifeng returned to the west?!
Princess Ling couldn't hide her joy, opened the door and went out: "What are you shouting about? Is something wrong with the prince?"
"It's not the prince, it's the young master who is in trouble!"
Princess Ling didn't react. Her nephews were all dead, so what else could happen.
When Nanny Li followed her out, she saw flames rising into the sky in the direction of Qingliangyuan, lighting up half of the sky.
"Princess, there's a fire in Qingliangyuan!" Nanny Li shouted.
Xu Qingyuan has just been placed in the coffin today, and his body will be placed in Qingliangyuan for the time being, and will not be sent back to his hometown in Huainan until tomorrow.
The fire was so strong that even the people and coffins would be burned to charcoal.
"What?!" Princess Ling stumbled and almost fell, "Hurry up and send someone to put out the fire!"
Her nephew died a tragic death and could not be burned even with his body.
Aunt Li quickly ordered people to beat gongs to put out the fire to prevent the fire from spreading.
Chu Jingxian glared at the maid and said angrily: "Didn't I ask you to keep vigil all night? How come the fire broke out just fine?!"
The maid shrank. How dare she stay in the coffin overnight, so she was just lazy.
She rushed back immediately when she saw the fire, only to see a red figure leaving Qingliangyuan.
In the palace, only Chu Jifeng likes to wear red clothes.
"It seems... the prince set the fire." The maid reported.
When Princess Ling and others heard this, they almost held their breath and were so frightened.
If Chu Jifeng ran to set a fire, doesn't that mean he wasn't seriously ill at all?
I guess he knew that Aunt Li had taken away the medicinal materials, so he killed people and burned their bodies. Only Chu Jifeng could do such sinister tricks!
Chu Jingxian also thought of this, and her legs trembled with fear. She grabbed Princess Ling's hand and asked: "Mother, concubine, what should I do? My eldest brother burned my cousin's body, and he will definitely set fire to us later!"
"
Princess Ling couldn't care less about feeling sorry for Xu Qingyuan's body at this time, but instead thought about how she could escape.
After all, they were all frightened, fearing that Chu Jifeng would seek revenge.
"Princess, please invite the prince to come over..." Nanny Li was also afraid and couldn't even speak.
Princess Ling's face was pale. Prince Ling only valued his own rights, so how could he protect her step-brother.
