With a wave of his hand, the Prince's Mansion's fortune exploded throughout the entire cap
Chapter 13 Is this the reason he was poisoned?
"Jingjing, we're here. This is Big Brother's Bamboo Garden. Big Brother is over there."
Following Xiao Yu's gaze, Zhou Rui and Gu Feng were sitting under a huge jasmine tree. There was another table in front of them, and Zhou Rui was writing.
The jasmine flowers are in full bloom in May, and their fragrance is delightful.
【It smells so good! Jingjing loves this scent!】
"Third brother, Jingjing, we're here!"
Gu Feng noticed them as they entered the courtyard and hurriedly waved, trying to interrupt his older brother from continuing his lesson.
I had barely stepped out of my grandmother's yard when my eldest brother grabbed my hand: "Where are you going, second brother?"
His elder brother was wicked, but he treated him extremely well, so he dared not disobey and had no choice but to follow him.
With my third brother and little sister Jingjing here, they should be able to rescue us, right?
Seeing him craning his neck to look in the direction of his younger siblings, Zhou Rui smiled slightly and gently put down his pen.
"Shuqi, serve tea to your third brother and sister, and then go to the kitchen to get some snacks."
The snacks I brought back after breakfast had already been eaten by my second younger brother, whose mind was wandering.
[Snacks, snacks~ Jingjing wants to eat sweet cakes~]
"Take some sweet lotus root cake and white jade frost cake, and third brother, have a piece too."
【Yay o(*≧▽≦)ツ Sugar cake, sugar cake! Big brother is so nice! There's also something little brother likes, little brother should eat more~】
Xiao Yu nodded. Every time he came to Wenzhuyuan in the past few years, his elder brother would make him eat something, even if it was just a piece of pastry.
The moment Gu Feng saw his elder brother put down his pen, he got up and brought his younger sister a taller chair.
"Little sister, sit here, your second brother will lift you up to sit."
"Thank you, Second Brother!"
[It's so great to have an older brother! There's delicious food, and someone to hold Jingjing and put her on a high place!]
Upon hearing this, Gu Feng, who had turned around, couldn't help but smile.
Once he gets to know Jingjing a bit better, he can even let her sit on his shoulders to see the lanterns! They're so pretty!
Zhou Rui tidied up the papers on the table: "Little sister, what brings you here to see your big brother?"
Little Jingjing shook her head: "It's nothing, I just wanted to see where Big Brother lives. If I remember the way, I can come find Big Brother by myself in the future."
After saying that, she reached out and took Zhou Rui and Gu Feng's hands, and the two looked at her hands with some confusion.
We can't exactly say we forgot to detoxify everyone...
[It seems Father had something to do and left. Grandmother and Mother also had things to do, so they came to find my two older brothers first.]
Zhou Rui frowned slightly. She had already detoxified herself this morning. Could a child like her withstand it again?
When he was struggling with his thoughts, Zhou Rui felt a warm current slowly entering his body, filling the emptiness in his internal organs.
Gu Feng blinked in surprise. He felt incredibly strong and could run ten laps around the training ground.
"Young Master, here's your medicine. This is licorice candy."
"Okay, you can go now."
After saying that, Zhou Rui picked up the medicine and drank it all in one gulp without changing his expression.
After putting down the bowl, Xiao Yu immediately picked up the tea and handed it to him: "Big brother."
[It smells so bitter (⩺︷⩹) Big brother......]
【Wait a minute? Grandpa Chief told me before that you can't eat licorice candy after eating carp!】
[I had carp congee for breakfast this morning! Who brought the licorice candy?!]
Upon hearing this, Zhou Rui's already pale brown eyes grew even colder.
He was in poor health, and his mother was always worried that he wasn't getting enough nutrition, so she specially added a small kitchen to Wenzhu Courtyard, where he would get some extra food almost every day around 9 am and 3 pm.
He would eat snacks and dried meat at the academy, and fish soup and stew at the prince's mansion.
If you add foods that clash with your three daily meals...
Is this the reason he was poisoned?
Little Jingjing turned around and looked at Shuqi, who had just brought the medicine. Her big eyes were wide open, and she was all puffed up with anger.
Shuqi, unsure of the new young lady's temperament, knelt down in bewilderment: "Miss... has Shuqi done something wrong?"
As they talked, they noticed that the second young master, who usually clung to them like an arm around their shoulder, now looked rather fierce and trembled when they met his gaze.
Xiao Yu looked at the handsome Shuqi with a stern face: "Shuqi, I remember that my elder brother usually ate candied fruit and sweet cakes after taking his medicine. Why is it licorice candy today?"
[That's right! Are you trying to hurt your older brother?!]
How could you be so heartless to such a handsome older brother?!
Hearing this, Zhou Rui shook his head helplessly.
Shuqi found this quite strange:
"Your Highness, when Shuqi went to the kitchen to get the medicine, Qinyu had already put in the licorice candy. I asked Qinyu, and she said that the candied fruit was all eaten yesterday, but the old man who sells candied fruit on Qingluo Street hasn't set up his stall these past two days."
Xiao Yu looked at Qingya beside him: "Go check it out."
"Yes."
Seeing Lord Qingya leave, Shuqi panicked: "Young Master, Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master, Shuqi knew nothing about this. The small kitchen has always been managed by Qinyu and Granny Jie; Shuqi and Shumo know absolutely nothing about kitchen matters!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Feng remembered, "Brother, where's Shu Mo? I haven't seen him today?"
Zhou Rui lowered his head and straightened his sleeves: "My third brother didn't go to the Imperial Study today, so I asked Shumo to fetch Chexing to the Prince's Mansion to accompany him to listen to Master Qiu's lecture."
Gu Feng scratched his head: "I see."
I thought Shumo had secretly run away.
"Jianxia, go find your mother and tell her that Zheng Lingyu, the second son of the Minister of Works, will be visiting. Have Guan Mama, Ranqiu, and Fudong prepare some snacks in the small kitchen of your elder brother's Wenzhu Courtyard."
Hearing this, Jianxia, who was standing guard beside the Crown Prince, secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, Your Highness."
[Who is it? Jingjing doesn't understand. Isn't it Chexing? And who is Zheng Lingyu?]
Jingjing looked up at her older brother on the left, then at her second older brother on the right, and then at the younger brother across from her, her face full of confusion.
Human names are so complicated...
【That's right, Jingjing also has two names: Jingjing, given by her grandfather, the clan chief, and Qinghe, given by her father.】
Thinking of this, Jingjing perked up slightly.
"Jingjing, the Chexing that Big Brother just mentioned is Zheng Lingyu, the second son of the Minister of Works, whom Third Brother mentioned. He is Third Brother's study companion in the Imperial Study."
Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Jingjing nodded, but still tried to open her eyes wider.
Ugh, so sleepy... I used up too much magic today, Jingjing's going to bed now...
Jingjing raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, pouting slightly as she blinked her big eyes hard.
So sleepy...
Gu Feng immediately stood up and picked up Jingjing: "Little sister, are you sleepy? Let your second brother carry you back to sleep, okay?"
Seeing her rubbing her eyes, Gu Feng unconsciously lowered his voice.
Jingjing nodded in a daze, reached out and wrapped her arms around Gu Feng's neck, resting her head on his shoulder: "Thank you, Second Brother~ Jingjing likes you so much~"
As soon as she finished speaking, she leaned her head on Gu Feng's shoulder, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.
"Second brother, take Jingjing back. Jingjing seems to really like the scent of jasmine. Have Shuqi and Shumo pick some branches, and I'll personally deliver them to Mother later so she can put them in Jingjing's room."
After Zhou Rui finished speaking, he took off his cloak and covered Xiao Jingjing with it.
"It's been windy lately, and Jingjing is asleep again. Be careful she doesn't catch a cold from the wind."
As Gu Feng, with his arms stiff, carried Jingjing and tiptoed into Fulu Courtyard, he happened to see a maid behind Granny Guan with a handkerchief stuffed in her mouth being held tightly by two nannies and dragged into the main room.
In the Wutong Study in the front courtyard, Zheng Lingyu took advantage of Master Qiu's back being turned to read a book, leaned close to Xiao Yu, and asked with a face full of curiosity, "Young Master, I heard from my grandmother that you have a younger sister?"
