Seeing that Hua Fushu did not continue, the old general became a little anxious, "Speak faster!"

He didn't like Ye Zelin's grandson, but he didn't allow anyone to kill his grandson.

Hua Fushu said unhurriedly: "In the days when Zelin first entered the palace, the family often sent clothes and food to the palace for Zelin. One time, they sent a red bean cake, and this red bean cake was laced with arsenic. Zelin was lucky, and the mouse saved him. The people in the palace checked and found that arsenic had been put into the red bean cake when it was brought to the palace."

The old general's face suddenly turned pale. Hua Fushu looked at his face and said coldly: "Grandpa, this red bean cake comes from your Feiyuan."

Hua Fushu deliberately emphasized the words 'your flying courtyard'.

The old general shook his head repeatedly, "No, no."

"His Majesty, who was still the Crown Prince at the time, also knew about this matter. His Majesty also asked the imperial doctor to verify it." Hua Fushu glanced at the old general and asked, "Why else do you think Ye Zelin didn't eat the snacks made by Feiyuan, especially the red bean cake? He Afraid of being poisoned to death.”

The old general said: "Why didn't he tell his family about this?"

Hua Fushu realized that he had finished talking, so he planned to end the topic, "I don't know, my granddaughter-in-law, but he originally didn't let me tell me about this matter. I was afraid that you would try to prevent Ye Zelin from participating in the examination. I just said it. Nothing else. Granddaughter-in-law left first."

She stood up and excused herself.

It took the old general a long time to calm down. He was originally going to ask Ye Zelin why he insisted on taking the imperial examination, but what Hua Fushu said about the red bean cake poisoning incident instantly stunned him.

He never knew that Ye Zelin was almost poisoned to death, and the poisoned cake was the red bean cake he sent.

No wonder Ye Zelin resented him so much because of the red bean cake?

Do Ouyang Rongyue and Ye Shiheng know about this? Why didn't they tell him?

Ouyang Rongyue shouldn't know, otherwise they would have come to question him long ago.

What was the purpose of Hua Fushu suddenly telling him this? Just to try it out?

Hua Fushu returned to her courtyard, Guanju Pavilion. In fact, she told the old general about the red bean cake incident on a temporary basis, which contained her selfishness.

With less than a month left before the trial, the old general would definitely try his best to stop Ye Zelin. She could not guess how the old general would stop Ye Zelin or when he would take action.

In a passive situation, she chose to take the initiative.

Ye Zelin told her that the old general's tail, General He, was secretly following him.

The old general thought that he had done it covertly by asking General He to secretly investigate Ye Zelin. However, Ye Zelin noticed that someone was following him not long after General He followed him.

At first, Ye Zelin thought it was Old Fox, but later he found out it was General He.

General He followed and investigated him, it must be because of the old general's wishes.

Ye Zelin also wanted to know why the old general sent people to follow him, so he pretended not to notice General He and secretly observed General He's every move.

He told Hua Fushu about this.

The reason why the old general asked General He to follow Ye Zelin was that the old general must have discovered something and ordered General He to investigate Ye Zelin.

There is another possibility. Maybe the old general was worried that someone would attack Ye Zelin, so he asked General He to protect him secretly.

Although the second possibility is very small, it cannot be ruled out.

Hua Fushu had been married to the Ye family for nearly a year. Although the old general was not kind to Ye Zelin, he was still kind to his other grandchildren.

She always felt that the old general was not the kind of person who was so cruel as to kill his own grandson.

She chose to use the red bean cake incident as a breakthrough because it was unusual and there were many doubts about the red bean cake incident.

First, no matter how disgusted the old general was with Ye Zelin, he would not go to the extent of wanting to kill him.

Secondly, the Ye family is not prosperous. From Ye Zelin's generation to Ye Shiheng's generation, they are all passed down by a single line. Up to Ye Zelin's generation, there are only four men, and one of them died in infancy. In a big family, They often care about the prosperity of their descendants.

Thirdly, if Ye Zelin has any good intentions, the old general and Ye Shiheng will definitely turn against each other. The old general will not be stupid and do something stupid that will hurt the relationship between father and son.

Fourth, Ye Zelin was in the palace at the time, and the food palace given to Ye Zelin by the General's Palace might not be inspected. If Ye Zelin ate the highly toxic red bean cake, he would be the only one who died. If someone else ate the poisonous red bean cake, it would not be possible. It's a big deal.

The palace will definitely investigate this matter with great fanfare. At that time, Ye Zelin was the prince's companion. The person Ye Zelin had the most contact with was either the serving chamberlain or the prince. If the prince ate the poisonous red bean cake, the Ye family would be in trouble. big trouble.

Once this matter escalates to an attempt to murder the prince, the crime will be serious. How many heads do the Ye family have that can be chopped off?

Fifth, when Ye Shiheng was on the northern expedition, the emperor chose the Ye family's son to accompany him in the palace. Essentially, it was to contain the Ye family. If the person who poisoned Ye Zelin was not the Ye family, what was the purpose of the person who poisoned Ye Zelin?

Many years have passed since the red bean cake incident. Even though there are many doubts, it is not easier for the old general, one of the parties involved, to find out the facts.

Now, it is more important for Ye Zelin to participate in the examination with peace of mind and no worries.

After muddying the waters on the old general's side, disrupting the old general's position and diverting his attention, naturally there was no extra energy to care about Ye Zelin's participation in the examination.

The meeting was scheduled for mid-February. As February entered, the spring was cold and the weather was cold. The flowers were sparse and I was preparing clothes, bedding and other items for Ye Zelin to take to the Gongyuan.

"Madam, I have found some leathers in the warehouse. You can see which one is suitable for knee pads." Lychee walked to Hua Fushu holding several pieces of thick velvet and asked for Hua Fushu's opinion.

Hua Fushu looked through the thick velvet a few times and picked out a suitable thick velvet. She said, "This one is good. It can be used as a hat or knee pads. Although spring has begun, it is still very cold at night. The weather in this month last year It's warm, and it's hard to say that this year will be as warm as last year. If the young master encounters a late spring cold during the examination, it would be a good idea to make him a pair of kneepads to protect his knees from the cold, and a hat should be prepared for him, just in case he needs it."

Lizhi asked: "Madam, you are still thoughtful. Madam, do you want to make the young master's knee pads and hat yourself?"

Hua Fushu chanted: "Of course, I made it for him myself to show my sincerity. The pens and inks that the young master needs to use, there are four virtues to worry about, so I can only prepare these small things for wearing." .”

Lychee chuckled and said, "The lady made it, the young master will definitely like it."

As a good slave, whatever the master wants to do, he must agree and support it no matter what.

I have heard this saying before, if God opens a door for you, it will close a window for you.

This sentence could not be more appropriate to apply to Hua Fushu.
