Five days later, Chu Yizhao received a secret letter from King Liang, saying that the ointment was effective and Nan Rong's elbows and knees had shown signs of regaining firmness.

Prince Liang wrote to her specifically to tell her that two nights ago, someone stuffed a mirror into Nan Rong's small building.

Ever since Nan Rong's accident, not to mention the mirror, even the basin of water has to be placed in the shade. The purpose of this mirror is too obvious.

Fortunately, Chu Yizhao's ointment was used in time. What Nan Rong saw through this mirror was not the despair of not being able to find an antidote, but the hope of recovering as before...

She was prevented from committing suicide.

Chu Yizhao was getting the medicine prepared at the pharmacy. Nanrong needed a lot of it, so it had to be delivered in two days.

The person who sent the mirror was none other than her nominal aunt, Zhao Shuzhen's biological sister, and the youngest daughter of Duke Wenyuan, Zhao Yuzhen.

Duke Wenyuan had two daughters. The eldest daughter married Marquis Quyang, and the youngest daughter entered the palace and was given the title of Shufei. She gave birth to the second prince, Wei Yang, who was the eldest child of Emperor Yuan'an.

The Great Zhou Dynasty established the legitimate son instead of the eldest son as the heir, and since the legitimate son was still alive, Wei Yang, the eldest son, was in an awkward position.

Emperor Yuan An did not value him, and the court officials did not support him, for fear that his ambitions would be aggravated and that this would hinder the Crown Prince's path.

As for the foreign tribes, Duke Wenyuan and Marquis Quyang and his group even marginalized and suppressed them.

Fortunately, Duke Wenyuan had no son, and the four sons of Marquis Quyang were capable and had a daughter who saved the empress dowager. In recent years, Emperor Yuan'an has gradually used people from the Chu and Zhao families.

Zhao Yuzhen was not favored in the palace. The empress was beautiful, and the concubine was the only one favored. Her beauty was not enough, so Emperor Yuan'an did not go to Yongchun Palace for half a year.

Only by overthrowing the crown prince and relying on the eldest son can the mother and son have a chance to succeed.

After the Autumn Examination, the Crown Prince will hold a banquet to select a concubine. If Nan Rong dies, it will disrupt the order of the court.

The daughters of important officials who are candidates for the position of Crown Princess must think carefully.

It's a pity that Nan Rong didn't die...

Thinking of the secret letter from her previous life, Chu Yizhao sneered. Her cousin was so cruel.

If he became the emperor, Chu Yizhao's only option for revenge would be to die together.

Huaichun came forward and said, "Miss, Chuqing is still kneeling in the front yard."

Wo Qiu held the medicine tray and said angrily, "Let her kneel! She kneels in such a conspicuous place every day. If you don't know, you might think that the young lady is abusing her."

"Day by day?" Chu Yizhao was surprised

Wo Qiu complained, "Yes, it started the day before yesterday. Every day he kneels at the entrance of the front yard for an hour, where there are people coming and going. He doesn't even say anything, he just wants to see the young lady."

I heard Huaichun mention the day before yesterday that she had been staying in the pharmacy these days, busy with killing people and protecting herself, so she really had no time to settle this bad debt.

This person who is so lazy and gluttonous on weekdays is so stubborn that he has to kneel for three days in a row. I wonder what he is planning.

Since someone is seeking death, she must get what she wants.

"Miss, it's bad, the Fourth Young Master is coming with Chu Qing!"

Chu Yunxu? This lunatic...

"Chu Yizhao! Come out!"

As soon as Chu Yizhao walked to the front yard, she heard Chu Yunxu's roar. She sneered and walked over calmly.

In the elegant and simple courtyard, a man in gorgeous clothes stood in the middle in a domineering manner.

"Fourth brother, why are you so angry?"

Glancing at the timid woman following behind Chu Mingxu, Chu Yizhao asked

Chu Yunxu's handsome face was filled with uncontrollable anger.

"I thought you had changed, but who knew you were still so arrogant and domineering. How could the mansion have a master like you who made a teenage girl kneel on the gravel road for three days?"

"You are also a girl, how can you be so cruel!"

He scolded Chu Yizhao indiscriminately like last time, without giving Chu Yizhao a chance to argue, and finished speaking in a burst of words.

Chu Yizhao stared at him twice, his face filled with righteous indignation and a hateful look.

Cruel heart? Who can be crueler than him!

Even though she wasn't Chu Yunxu's biological sister, they had been together for more than a decade, and she had done nothing wrong to him, yet he tied her up, skinned her, and pulled out her tendons! !

The tip of the knife pierced into her wrist and provoked her. The sharp blade stirred her flesh and blood, causing her excruciating pain.

Chu Yizhao clenched her fists tightly, her palms hurting from her nails, but the pain was not even one percent of what it felt like before. She calmed herself down, ignored Chu Yunxu's angry eyes, and asked Chu Qing

"Tell Fourth Brother that I was the one who asked you to kneel?"

Chu Qing fell to her knees with a thud, and hurriedly denied, "No, no, it wasn't the young lady who asked me to kneel, I did it myself..." She looked up at Chu Yunxu with a sad look, then lowered her head, "I made a mistake myself, I kneeled down by myself, please forgive me..."

This statement is very confusing. There is no mention of Chu Yizhao in any sentence, but every sentence refers to Chu Yizhao.

Chu Qing is beautiful, like a lotus in the rain, with a slender figure like a willow, and when she kneels, she looks like a fallen leaf in late autumn, which makes people feel pity. Otherwise, Chu Yunyu would not have taken her into the room after she climbed on the bed and acted disrespectfully...

Chu Yunxu exploded when he heard this. "You are still threatening people here. Do you dare to lie in front of her two masters?"

"Yizhao, I originally thought that you were ignorant, but I didn't expect that you were born savage and vicious."

He looked so distressed that Chu Yizhao wanted to laugh.

"Fourth brother is here, and without saying anything, he immediately puts the words ruthless and vicious on me. Are you so impatient to convict me?"

"You would rather trust a slave who made a mistake than your own sister, then you can say whatever you want!"

"You!" Chu Yunxu pointed at Chu Yizhao, speechless, and swung his sleeves angrily.

As if he had thought of a good way to deal with Chu Yizhao, Chu Yunxu sneered and said, "Look at how unreasonable you are now. You don't have any of Xue'er's gentleness and virtue. I would rather Xue'er was my own sister."

The word "sister" was pronounced very heavily and stared at Chu Yizhao provocatively.

Chu Yizhao knew what he wanted to see. Ever since Chu Yingxue came to the Marquis' Mansion, Chu Yunxu had been quarreling with Chu Yizhao like a madman.

They quarrel when eating, when going out, and when they meet in the garden.

After every quarrel, he would belittle her and praise Chu Yingxue, saying that she was inferior to Yingxue in every way and was not worthy of being his biological sister.

In her previous life, she regarded Chu Yunxu as her closest brother. Every time she heard this, she would be heartbroken and depressed for several days. She would avoid him angrily, but who knew that he would become even crazier and rush into her yard to scold her.

This bitch.

Chu Yizhao smiled and said, "That's what I was thinking. You can't tell right from wrong and you're always swearing. I'm ashamed to have you as my brother."

Chu Yunxu's smiling face suddenly froze. "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"I'm not talking nonsense. You always say that I'm not as good as Yingxue. Then go and be her brother. I don't want you anymore."

I don't want you anymore...

The girl's clear voice echoed in his ears over and over again. Chu Yunxu was stunned in place. When he met Chu Yizhao's eyes, he felt like he was doused with a basin of cold water from head to toe...

Hate? Chu Yizhao hates him? How is it possible...

She must be jealous of how good he is to Yingxue... She's playing hard to get, and has a vicious heart!

"Did I say anything wrong? Yingxue would never do such a vicious thing that would make someone kneel for three days. You did it, so what are you talking about?"

"Then bring her to your Yingxue. I can't keep such a sneaky person."

Chu Qing's body trembled, her eyes widened in shock, and when she met Chu Yizhao's cold gaze, she lowered her head in panic...

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Chu Yunxu retorted habitually, and then he became a little doubtful, lowered his head and asked Chu Qing, "Did you steal something?"

"I didn't! Fourth Young Master, I didn't." Chu Qing climbed onto Chu Yunxu's legs and looked at him with tears in her eyes.

Unfortunately, she was just throwing her seductive eyes at a blind man. Chu Yunxu kicked her away in disgust. These were his favorite gold-woven boots, and his big snot had rubbed off on them...

After kicking, Chu Yunxu remembered that there was someone next to him...

Chu Yizhao looked at him with a smile, "Girls are delicate and precious, Fourth Brother, you are too unkind to them."
