Chu Yizhao treated Huaichun Woqiu as closely as, if not as closely as, sisters. At least he was generous with gold, silver, treasures, silks and satins.

What reason does Wo Qiu have to be so devoted to Chu Huai...

Like she controls Chu Qi?

Chu Yizhao shook her head, holding a jade bracelet. It was not like she was possessed. Chu Qi secretly glared at her several times. This was normal.

Thinking of Wo Qiu's answer before his death, Chu Yizhao narrowed his eyes...

Chu Huai knew it a long time ago.

So Wo Qiu was originally Chu Huai's man? The chance encounter in Xiangzhou was a cover, just to send him to her?

Chu Qing was in the light and Wo Qiu was in the dark, trapping her to death in the marquis's mansion.

Very crazy...

This made Chu Yizhao suspect that Chu Huai had a grudge against his biological parents.

The Chu Huai in Chu Yizhao's memory was very busy.

But he is gentle and generous, and can be considered a loving father.

When Xiangzhou was hit by a snowstorm, Chu Huai was ordered to go to provide disaster relief. She was young and playful, so she insisted on going with the group. However, she was scolded by Zhao Shuzhen. When she woke up in the middle of the night, she found herself in the carriage. Chu Huai was holding her with a gentle look on his face. Chu Yizhao did not understand what he said.

Now I understand...

He said, seeing all living things, we should have compassion.

Mercy? Did he think of this sentence at all when he ordered the massacre of the whole village?

In her previous life, after Chu Yingxue came back, everyone hated her, but Chu Huai treated her as before. She was deeply touched and became even more dependent on him.

After her rebirth, she had seen a strange grass in a book that could emit fragrance to lure insects to stay, and then devour them in one gulp, leaving no trace of their bodies.

The stars are twinkling, and tomorrow will be another hot day.

Two days later, the team offering sacrifices to the mountain and praying for blessings will arrive at Shangjing City, and Chu Huai will be back.

According to the original plan, Chu Yingxue has been disabled today, and she is the only legitimate daughter left in the Quyang Marquis's Mansion.

Chu Yizhao wanted to see whether these people would choose a disfigured biological daughter, or a substitute who was favored by both the Queen Mother and the Prince...

Now that everything is fine, we have to keep a low profile again.

Chu Huai is meticulous and suspicious by nature. Once you take action under his nose, it will be easily detected, and it will be difficult to escape unscathed.

Could it be that we have to activate that person now?

The stars rotated, the long night passed, and the sky began to turn pale.

Unconsciously, Chu Yizhao sat in the pharmacy all night, with the box next to him. He looked through the small box at a glance.

When daybreak came, Chu Yizhao was tired and gave it to Qiaoyu casually.

...

Chu Yunxu asked the servant to bring some cakes.

It's her favorite hawthorn cake

"Fifth Miss, our young master has been thinking about you these days. He has not been sleeping well and studying so hard that he has lost a lot of weight."

The servant said with a distressed look on his face.

"Really? Then you really need to nourish yourself." Chu Yizhao smiled gently, "Is Fourth Brother still drinking the nourishing soup from the kitchen?"

Seeing Chu Yizhao's smiling face, Zhushan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The young master had offended someone and didn't dare to come to comfort him, so he let him take the lead.

Fortunately, the Fifth Miss has a good temper. If she had listened to the man from Xueyuan, she would have been severely scolded.

"A few days ago, I took tranquilizers and didn't drink the soup. I'll go make the soup later."

Chu Yizhao paused for a moment and said, "No need. There are some medicinal herbs in the soup. It would be bad if they conflict with the tranquilizer..."

"Yes..." Zhushan responded and waited for a long time, but Chu Yizhao ignored him.

Seeing that the person was dawdling and not leaving, Chu Yizhao asked, "Anything else?"

Chu Yizhao was wearing a moon-colored brocade gauze skirt and standing in front of the window arranging flowers. Her face was elegant and refined.

The pure white gardenias in his hands, with their pleasant fragrance, are crowded in the celadon vase.

Flowers and people are innocent and harmless.

Zhu Shan spoke up boldly, "The autumn exam is approaching, and if the young master continues to be so busy, his body may not be able to bear it. Miss, do you have any good ideas to help the young master sleep better?"

Chu Yunxu is smart, but he is impatient and impulsive. He often cannot concentrate on his books and has been punished by Chu Huai several times.

Chu Yizhao had spent a long time researching that tonic soup, and had added many herbs that soothe the heart and nourish the liver. He had taken good care of himself in the past few years, and his temper had improved a bit, and he could sit still more calmly.

A few days ago, he fell ill and couldn't sleep well every day. He also took medicine and stopped drinking soup. The irritability was in the liver, and poor sleep was even more harmful to the liver. Zhushan would rather stay with her and asked her to take medicine. It was estimated that Chu Yunxu had been angry a lot during this period.

"It's normal to have trouble falling asleep when the weather is hot. It will be fine after a while when the weather cools down."

"But...but..."

Zhushan wanted to say something, but Chu Yizhao waved his hand and asked him to leave, so Zhushan had no choice but to leave.

Qiaoyu saw Zhushan, who was looking downcast, at the door and asked curiously, "What happened? Did the young lady scold you?"

Zhushan shook his head. The young lady didn't scold him, but he couldn't say for sure what would happen when he returned...

The young master's temper has been getting worse recently, and it boils faster than the water on the stove. The day before yesterday, Songye simply forgot to close the window, but he was dragged out and beaten with twenty sticks. He is still lying in bed now.

Zhushan thought that maybe it was because he didn’t sleep well and the weather was hot…

"Oh, what did I think it was?"

Qiaoyu said disapprovingly, "I thought it was something else. Aren't there gardenias blooming by the Yuting Lake? Go pick some and put them in your bedroom. You'll fall asleep naturally when you smell the sweet fragrance."

"Gardenia? The fragrance is so strong, it must be unpleasant to the nose," Zhushan hesitated.

"It's up to you. We have them in our room anyway."

Qiaoyu left after she finished speaking, leaving Zhushan standing there in confusion. The vase of blooming gardenias remained in his mind, unable to be shaken off.

As soon as you leave Zhushan, you will arrive at Heyue.

"Miss, are you feeling better? Madam is worried about you and asked me to bring you some medicine."

He Yue put down the medicine bottle and stood respectfully.

Chu Yizhao glanced at the porcelain vase on the table. Even a fool like Chu Mingxu knew to send pastries, but this guy had to send medicine to disgust her.

He Yue was a little absent-minded. She stood by the table for a long time before she reacted. Chu Yizhao looked at her with a half-smile.

"Aunt, why are you sitting in my yard and staring blankly instead of taking good care of mother?"

He Yue knelt down with a thud, which really scared Chu Yizhao.

"Aunt Heyue, what are you doing?"

"Miss, Miss, you know, right? Madam is sick, right?" He Yue knelt at Chu Yizhao's feet, looking at her expectantly.

Chu Yizhao had just trimmed a few gardenias, and her dress was stained with a hint of fragrance. She spoke in a light voice.

"Aunt Heyue, I don't know what you are talking about"

He Yue obviously didn't expect her to say that. Her face froze and she instantly became anxious, even blaming him.

"Miss, Madam is your mother. No matter how angry you are, you have to know your limits. This is a matter of life and death. Do you want to be known as a matricide?"

"Mother-killer?" Chu Yizhao raised his eyebrows. It must be someone else...

"Aunt Heyue means that I poisoned my mother?"

The sun was blazing, and the frogs Qiaoyu kept were hiding in their tanks, dying. The frogs were no longer croaking, and the courtyard of Ruyi Residence was getting closer...

He Yue knelt on the ground with her head down. Yesterday, she followed Zhao Shuzhen back to the room, changed clothes and was checked. Her white and smooth back did not even have a needle hole.

What was even more terrifying was that Zhao Shuzhen suddenly started mumbling about the past. He Yue interrupted her hastily, but she was at a loss as to what she had said...

At that moment, He Yue had to admit, no matter how afraid she was to admit it, that the lady was really ill. She called the court physician that night, but the physician only said that it was due to insufficient kidney energy and that she just needed to take some tonic medicine.

What kidneys can affect the brain...

Suddenly, she thought of the pounce made by the Fifth Miss in the afternoon.

"poison?"

He Yue uttered this word in disbelief

"Yeah, didn't Aunt He Yue find out?"

Chu Yizhao spread his hands, "You know, I can only cook some food, but I don't know anything about detoxification."

"Well... let's wait until father comes back."

"Can't!"
