Chapter thirty-seven: there is a pit in front of you, forcing you to jump

Pei Zonghao and Mu Feng Mingyue rode together in the same sedan chair, set out from the palace, and soon arrived at the General's Mansion.

At the door, Chen Renjie and the general's wife had already welcomed her for a long time in advance. Seeing Mu Fengmingyue's sedan chair arrive, Chen Renjie happily stepped forward to pick him up.

"Welcome to Your Highness the Princess!" The servants of the general's mansion knelt on the ground to welcome him, and the general's wife just bowed slightly.

After Mu Fengmingyue got out of the sedan chair, Pei Zonghao followed him down.

Seeing Pei Zonghao and Mu Fengmingyue riding in the same sedan chair, a strange light flashed in Chen Renjie's eyes. This light was undetectable, but Pei Zonghao saw it in fact.

"His princess came to visit my father in person, Renjie was worried."

"Brother, why are you still polite? I really can't adapt to this sensible look."

After Pei Zonghao got out of the sedan chair, he saluted Chen Renjie slightly, "Brother."

Then, Pei Zonghao looked at a beautiful woman with luxurious makeup and good looks beside Chen Renjie and gave a gentle greeting.

"I guess this is Sanniang, and my nephew is right."

"I have seen His Highness the Crown Prince."

"See Your Highness the Crown Prince." Seeing Pei Zonghao appear, the servants of the General's Mansion fell to their knees again.

"Second brother, you are here too. Let's go in first and then chat." Chen Renjie pulled up Pei Zonghao and Mu Feng Mingyue's hands, and invited Pei Zonghao and Mu Feng Mingyue to enter the mansion without changing his expression.

Several people came to Chen Chu's bedroom. Mu Fengmingyue walked to Chen Chu's bed and sat down. Looking at Chen Chu who was seriously injured and had a blood-colored face, Mu Fengmingyue reached out and grabbed Chen Chu's hand, and tears fell from the corners of her eyes, "Uncle San, wake up."

"Princess, my father was too seriously injured and he would not wake up at this moment." Chen Renjie said in a depressed tone.

"Will the third uncle be in danger of his life?" Mu Feng Mingyue turned to Chen Renjie and asked.

"I won't be able to occupy it. There are elixirs from Shenxiao Palace that will prolong my father's life. The doctor said that if you will take care of it for a while, it will get better slowly."

"Oh, that's good." Mu Fengmingyue reached out and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Young Master, the elixir that Mrs. Madam has used up. I sent someone to Shenxiao Palace to get medicine, but I haven't come back yet."

"I am worried that the time has been delayed for too long will affect the general's injuries." At this time, the king outside the door walked in, and said to Chen Renjie with an anxious expression.

"Old Wang, why don't you go to get the pills back in person?" The general's wife also became anxious when she heard this.

"I think this is the only way." Old Wang gently pointed his head.

"By the way, second brother, don't you have the healing medicine given to you by your master?"

"Why don't you use it to respond first?" At this time, Chen Renjie mentioned the pill that Pei Zonghao was preparing to take out last night.

"Is there any? Brother Haoer, why don't you take it out first and take one for Uncle San first." Mu Fengmingyue, who was sitting by the bed, spoke to Pei Zonghao.

At this time, a ominous premonition surged in Pei Zonghao's heart, "Strange! Uncle San was injured last night, and the people in the General's Mansion have not been able to retrieve the pills until now. There must be a fraud in this."

Pei Zonghao glanced at Mu Fengmingyue and his Sanniang, and thought to himself, "Now the princess and the general's wife are here. If I don't take out the pills, they will definitely feel disgusted and make them feel that I am a stingy person and will not save me when I die. If this is said, the condemnation of me in the court in the future will definitely be overwhelming. By then, not only civil officials, but also military officers will attack me."

"What should I do? Or I say I forgot to bring it?"

"Not even possible. Those who practice immortals put their magic weapons and pills in Qiankun bags and carry them with them."

"What the hell do?"

Pei Zonghao was in a dilemma. It was obvious that Chen Renjie dug a pit for himself, and now he can't do it if he doesn't jump.

After a brief thought, Pei Zonghao decided to take out the pills and take them to his third uncle himself, and then he would keep the third uncle from leaving today. He didn't believe it. When the medicine was effective, the pills from Shenxiao Palace were taken back. By then, this pot of dirty water should not be able to spill him.

"Princess, come here first, I'll feed my third uncle to take medicine." Pei Zonghao took out the small bottle from Qiankun bag and said.

Upon hearing this, Mu Fengmingyue stood up and cleared her seat and gave it to Pei Zonghao.

Pei Zonghao took out the elixir from the bottle and fed it to Chen Chu's mouth. He turned to Chen Renjie and said, "Brother, when will the elixir from Shenxiao Palace be retrieved?"

Chen Renjie turned to Mr. Wang and said, "Mr. Wang, why don't you go there yourself?"

"Okay, I'll go now." Old Wang turned around and went out to get the medicine.

"Second brother, my father is too seriously injured and needs rest. Why don't we go to the back garden to sit and make you a pot of high-end tea?" Chen Renjie said to Pei Zonghao after Mr. Wang left.

Pei Zonghao suddenly felt a little unfamiliar and thought to himself, "Is there really a problem? It seems that my elder brother is really involved in the restoration of the Qin Dynasty. No, I must not leave at this time."

"Brother, I grew up in Yunchuan. I have never met my third uncle for so many years. I met him yesterday and my third uncle treated me like a parent-child. Now my third uncle is so seriously injured, I want to spend more time with him."

"This, then okay."

"Mingyue, where are you? Are you here to accompany my father?" Seeing that Pei Zonghao refused to leave, Chen Renjie turned to Mu Feng Mingyue and asked.

"I'll accompany my third uncle here too."

"Okay, let's spend more time with my dad here." There was no change in expression on Chen Renjie's face.

"Woo, woo, woo! puff!" At this moment, Chen Chu on the bed whimpered a few times, and a mouthful of black blood spurted out.

"Uncle San!"

"master!"

"Dad!" The people in the room suddenly changed their faces.

Numerous thoughts flashed through Pei Zonghao's mind, "What's the situation? I personally fed the medicine and it was not handled by others. Why was the third uncle still poisoned?"

Chen Renjie rushed to the edge of the bed, grabbed Chen Chu's hand, and kept shouting: "Dad! Are you okay! Dad!"

"Come to the doctor!" Chen Renjie shouted loudly.

Mu Feng Mingyue also walked to the bed at this time, looking at Chen Chu at this time, with a very anxious expression in her eyes.

The general's wife also came to the bed and looked at Chen Chu anxiously.

After a while, the doctor was invited.

"Madam, General is poisoned." The doctor said after he diagnosed Chen Chu.

"Poisoned?" Chen Renjie looked at Pei Zonghao with suspicion in his eyes.

At this time, Chen Renjie's suspicion immediately made Mu Feng Mingyue look at Pei Zonghao in confusion.

"This, brother, Mingyue, Sanniang, my elixir is indeed given to me by my master, and it will not be poisonous."

Pei Zonghao took out a small bottle from Qiankun bag and said, "If you don't believe me, please check it!"

Pei Zonghao knew that this matter was purely Chen Renjie's plot, but he didn't expect that he would still fall into the trap if he was so cautious.

Chen Renjie took the small bottle, opened it and smelled it, "I have to use it for identification first."

Pei Zonghao had nothing to say for a moment. This matter must have been a big deal, and maybe he would alarm Emperor Mu Feng Tianyang.

The doctor couldn't relieve the poison in Chen Chu. Finally, Chen Renjie sent someone to the palace to invite Gong Kunpeng, the head of Shenxiao Palace. After Gong Kunpeng came, he fed Chen Chu a few pills, and Chen Chu's condition stabilized.

"Your Highness, is the elixir in this bottle the healing medicine given to you by your master Feng Lingzi?" Gong Kunpeng asked Pei Zonghao after healing Chen Chu.

"Yes."

Gong Kunpeng took out a pill from the bottle and placed it in front of his nose and sniffed it gently, "This pill is indeed fine, but is the poison on the general's body?"

"Your Highness, did you personally feed this medicine to the general's uniform?"

When Pei Zonghao heard Gong Kunpeng's words, he thought to himself, "It's over."

But before he fed Chen Chu medicine, Chen Renjie, Wang Lao, Mu Feng Mingyue and others were all present, so it was impossible to shirk it.

"Yes, I personally fed the medicine into Uncle San's mouth."

Hearing Pei Zonghao's answer truthfully, Gong Kunpeng didn't ask anything else and said, "Okay, the general will not have any worries about his life for a while, so I will return to the palace first. I will report this to Your Majesty truthfully. How to deal with this matter, let Your Majesty decide."

After Gong Kunpeng finished speaking, he left, and the room was left with Pei Zonghao, Chen Renjie, Mu Fengmingyue and the general's wife.

Chen Renjie always held Chen Chu's hand, without saying a word, Mu Feng Mingyue didn't say anything, and the general's wife was also taciturn at this time.

After a while, Pei Zonghao took the lead in breaking the suffocating silence, "I'll go back to the palace and wait first. There is something else in today's matter. Let's wait until my uncle investigates it clearly and clear my innocence."

Pei Zonghao finished speaking and left and returned to his own room in the East Palace.

"What the healing elixirs are going to be wrong? And the healing elixirs cannot really cause medicine damage to each other."

Pei Zonghao sat cross-legged on the bed, constantly recalling everything and every detail that happened today.

Suddenly, Pei Zonghao recalled in his mind that in front of the General's Mansion in the morning, "Second brother, you are here too. Let's go in first and then chat. After Chen Renjie finished speaking, he took Pei Zonghao's hand."

Pei Zonghao slowly stretched out his right hand and thought to himself, "Can he betrayed this hand?"

Randomly, Pei Zonghao ordered someone to get a little water, put his hands in the basin, and rub it hard.

After washing his hands, Pei Zonghao took out an inch of silver from the Qiankun bag and threw the silver into the basin.

Sure enough, the silver in the basin turned black instantly, which proved that the water in the basin was toxic!

"Good you Chen Renjie! To cheat me! Since you are using your father's life to bet, you are simply inferior to a beast!" Pei Zonghao was furious for a moment.

"Why is he doing this? Is it for Mu Feng Mingyue? I am afraid that I will take Mu Feng Mingyue away?"

Pei Zonghao paced back and forth in the room, constantly thinking about the consequences of today's incident.

"Why is Chen Renjie doing this? With this matter, it is impossible to bring me down. With His Majesty's wisdom, it is impossible to believe that I will poison me."

"What is he trying to do? Just to put a little stain on my prince's reputation?"

"This doesn't make sense! As long as your Majesty doesn't believe it, I can't bear the charge of poisoning. Why is this?"

Pei Zonghao was thinking hard in the room alone, but still couldn't figure out why Chen Renjie did this.
