The beauty of the Hou family and the king's plan

When Princess Yu saw that Xiao Li was standing there and did not hand her a cane, she looked around for something handy.

The Second Master did not dare to dodge, and Madam Xiao was in a hurry to stop Princess Yu.

Until Master Xiao said, "Mother, forget it. Zhao Zhao and Jie Ling are still here."

His implication was to give the Second Master some face in front of the two juniors and not make things too embarrassing. After all, he was their father.

Princess Yu also understood, but she became angry when she saw the Second Master.

Although he stopped, a feeling of depression was still lingering in his chest, and he was having trouble breathing.

Seeing this, Shen Baozhao hurried forward and gently leaned Princess Yu against the back of the chair, pressing the Tanzhong acupoint. It took a while before Princess Yu felt comfortable.

Shen Baozhao felt very guilty. She shouldn't have brought the second master here without informing them in advance.

With a guilty look on his face, he said to Princess Yu: "Grandma, it's all Zhao Zhao's fault."

Princess Yu did not blame her, but patted her hand and comforted her: "Good child, it has nothing to do with you."

The Second Master's legs trembled when he saw Princess Yu still staring at him with eyes as sharp as knives.

Shen Baozhao then advised, "Grandmother, if you have chest pain, you must not get angry. You must relax."

After saying that, he took out another heart-protecting pill and handed it to Madam Zhao beside him.

Without Shen Baozhao's instructions, Nanny Zhao went downstairs to dissolve the pills.

I returned home yesterday. Fearing the bumpy ride, I asked the palace doctor to take Princess Yu's pulse.

The court physician was also an knowledgeable man, and he asked the princess what medicine she had taken to protect her heart.

After a few questions and answers, they knew that it was the effect of the Heart Protection Pill. The court doctor was shocked, because the Heart Protection Pill was very expensive.

It is said that the Poison Doctor Valley can only refine ten pills in a month, and only the valley master knows the secret recipe.

When Nanny Zhao saw that her cousin gave the princess the Heart Protecting Pill without blinking an eye, she thought she was a filial child.

Aunt Zhao didn't know that her cousin had plenty of these heart-protecting pills. Luo Bucheng was just lazy, so he only refined ten pills a month.

Shen Baozhao saw his father standing awkwardly aside, with a few people who should be his uncles staring at him eagerly.

Although Master Xiao was unable to walk and sat on a wooden chair, and he had just spoken out to help Master Er out, it did not mean that he had a good face towards Master Er.

Shen Baozhao said to Xiao Li who was standing beside him, "Cousin, can you please dismiss everyone? I want to see my grandmother first."

Xiao Li was also very worried about Princess Yu's health, so he nodded.

All the masters in the mansion knew what happened yesterday, so no one objected to Shen Baozhao's words.

The younger generations were all sent out of the hall, leaving only Xiao Li and Shen Baozhao. The only elders left were Master Xiao and his wife.

Shen Baozhao said nothing more. Together with Madam Xiao, he helped Princess Yu into the bedroom, took off her clothes and began to give her acupuncture.

If the chest pain is cured by taking medicine without acupuncture, it can be cured, but acupuncture is obviously more helpful to improve the condition.

After an incense stick of time, the acupuncture was completed. Princess Yu suddenly felt her breathing become easier and smoother.

Shen Baozhao was relieved and thought about how to inform Prince Yu's Mansion about Nanhua County Lady's affairs.

Seeing that she had not come out yet, Xiao Li asked someone to come in and ask her.

"Grandma." Shen Baozhao hesitated to speak.

Princess Yu thought she wanted to plead for the Second Master, so she sighed and said, “Zhao Zhao, I know your mother’s death had nothing to do with your father.

He has never remarried in all these years and has raised you two. For your sake, grandma will not embarrass him anymore."

Shen Baozhao showed gratitude in his eyes and held Princess Yu's hand: "Grandmother, there is another hidden reason for my mother's death.

Zhao Zhao has something important to say to you and your three uncles."

Princess Yu was surprised to hear that there was another hidden story. Seeing Shen Baozhao's serious face, she immediately ordered someone to call in her three sons, Xiao Li, the second master, and Shen Jieling.

Several people asked about Princess Yu's health again, and they felt relieved when they heard that she looked full of energy.

Shen Baozhao did not narrate the whole process in detail from the beginning as Tang had told the second master.

Instead, he ordered someone to bring Xia Lian up.

Xia Lian was the maid that came with Nanhua County Lady's dowry. She was personally selected by Madam Zhao, so she naturally remembered it.

Xia Lian knelt on the ground and recalled again what happened to the servants after the death of Princess Nanhua.

"Grandma, uncles, my mother's death was not an accident. It was intentional.

It was the Emperor who ordered the old man of Ning'an Marquis's Mansion to murder my mother."

The tall and burly man at the side immediately jumped into a rage: "I knew there was something fishy about my little sister's death.

Why did they announce the death so quickly and without informing our family? They must be afraid of exposing the secret.

Go to the Ning'an Marquis's mansion!"

He stared at the Second Master with a pair of eyes as big as copper bells, and stepped forward to grab the Second Master's collar and said, "Damn it, you bastard, didn't you say you would be good to my sister forever?

I believed your lies and promised my sister to you."

He was about to punch him, but Master Xiao Er beside him quickly stopped him and said, "Old Third, don't get angry yet. The children are still here."

Master Xiao Er winked at Master Xiao San, and Master Xiao San saw Shen Baozhao looking at him.

He immediately let go of her hand and gave Shen Baozhao an awkward smile.

It was Master Xiao and Xiao Li who got the point. They looked at each other with heavy eyes.

"Cousin, are you saying that the emperor wants to kill my aunt?" Xiao Li was a little incredulous.

Shen Baozhao nodded, "That's right, the poison my mother was poisoned with was provided by the palace maid.

The decision to hunt down Xia Lian and others was also made by His Majesty."

"His purpose was, funny as it may be, to find something. He thought it was hidden in my mother's dowry.

There were always people in Chenxiang Courtyard, so he had no way to ensure that he would not alert the enemy and search every corner. So he started killing people. "

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Princess Yu asked in a trembling voice, "I have reviewed every item of your mother's dowry. There is nothing worthy of Your Majesty to kill for."

"No, they didn't find what they wanted."

Master Xiao Er said to Princess Yu: "Mother, I'm afraid my younger sister has been implicated by our family."

"The emperor suspected that the thing he was looking for was in my father's hands. Ding also looked for it in the palace, but couldn't find it.

Only then did I guess that it was given to my younger sister for safekeeping, and I had the intention to kill her."

Master Xiao Er was worthy of being the Minister of Justice, but he guessed the truth from just a few words from Shen Baozhao.

Master Xiao San was a straightforward person and didn't understand the twists and turns here, "Damn it, the dog emperor suspected that the thing was in my father's hands, why didn't he come after us.

If he has the guts, he can put everyone in the palace in jail and confiscate the palace!"

The Third Master Xiao was only a few years older than the Lady of Nanhua County, and they had always had a close relationship. It was because he was not good at judging people that he introduced the Second Master to his sister.

He felt the most guilty and self-blamed when Nanhua County Lady passed away. He was also the one who beat the Second Master the hardest every time.

"Do you think he hasn't searched the palace?" Master Xiao said coldly.
