Chapter 133 Is He Crazy?
When Chu Sheng received the news in his yard, Miss Zhao had already left.
The servant stood trembling and asked worriedly, "Master, can the chicken soup you send to Madam every day still be brought in?"
Chu Sheng's face darkened instantly, and he said that this matter was not that simple.
Chu Sheng glanced at the servant and said, "Let's go and try it."
Chu Sheng took the fish soup he had just cooked and arrived at the gate of the main courtyard. Before he even got close, the servant came over and directly isolated Chu Sheng far away, as if there was some virus in the main courtyard.
Chu Sheng looked at them. His face was expressionless. "What do you mean? Father said I can come to see mother anytime."
The gatekeeper lowered his head and said, "Second Young Master, the master has just issued a new order. No matter who it is, no one can enter."
Having said that, the servant looked at the chicken soup in his stomach when he was born and couldn't even eat anything.
Chu Sheng's face drooped immediately. Without saying a word, he turned around and left.
They reached the other side of the rockery and used it to hide themselves. "We can't deliver this chicken soup anymore. We can't go this way anymore. It seems we need to take another route."
The servant Chu Sheng asked, "But master, which way should we go?"
Chu Sheng thought for a moment, "Since the Li family is not working, let's just go after Chu Zhen."
Chu Sheng thought that he still had some medicine left and couldn't waste it.
Chu Sheng returned to his yard and ground all the remaining poison in his hand into powder.
He took out his handkerchief and spread it on the ground, then put the ground medicine powder on the handkerchief, wrapped it up, and handed it to his servant, "Go put this medicine powder into the medicine of that loser Chu Zhen. You can't drink it, and you can't feel it. In a few times, this matter will be completely over."
The servant didn't want to do it. It was too dangerous and he would be easily caught. The eldest lady was now the future Princess Rui and must have the Prince Rui's secret guards around her. No one in the entire Marquis's Mansion could be sure if there were any of the Prince Rui's men there.
"Master, if I go like this, I'm afraid I'll be arrested before I even touch the medicine jar."
Chu Sheng slapped him on the head and said, "You're so stupid. Go to the kitchen and tell them I'm in a bad mood and haven't eaten yet. Go find some food and put it in there. It won't last for a few days."
Chu Sheng had already thought of a solution, and the servant had no choice but to take it stiffly and said, "Yes."
After getting everything ready, Chu Sheng waited in his yard. Not long after, the servant came back panting, "Master, everything is done. I watched him drink it."
After a few days, Chu Ci discovered something. His elder brother, who was originally getting better, began to look pale again.
That day, Chu Ci took the little maid to Chu Zhen's yard and smelled the scent of herbs from afar.
Chu Ci glanced at Chunhua beside him and said, "Something is wrong. Something has been added to the herbs."
Chu Ci quickened his pace and walked to Chu Zhen's side. At this time, Chu Zhen was holding the medicine and was about to drink it when Chu Ci snatched it away.
Chu Zhen looked at Chu Ci in confusion, "Xiao Ci, what's wrong?"
Chu Ci put down the bowl of medicine and began to take Chu Zhen's pulse silently. After taking Chu Zhen's pulse, he really found the problem. There was the same poison in his elder brother's body as in Li's body.
Chu Ci's expression became more and more solemn, and the maids and servants didn't dare to speak.
Chu Ci carefully observed his brother's complexion, then put the bowl of medicine on the table under his nose and sniffed it. The poison content was quite high, but fortunately, he had not been drinking it for long, and his brother's health had been well recovered during this period.
If this happened to my brother in his previous condition, he would have died after drinking it for a day.
"Who made this medicine?" Chu Ci looked at Chu Zhen.
Chu Zhen subconsciously pointed at the servant beside him, and the servant immediately knelt down, "Is there something wrong with this medicine? I didn't do anything."
Chu Ci looked at the servant. His face was full of fear, but he didn't feel guilty or panic at all.
"Master, I have been with you since I was a child. You must trust me." The servant almost cried when he saw Chu Zhen's calmness.
Chu Zhen said calmly, "There's nothing wrong with him. The problem must be somewhere else."
Chu Ci nodded and said, "Go and get the medicine pot so I can check it. Remember to be quiet and don't let anyone see you."
The servant ran out quickly, fearing that if he was a step too slow, Chu Ci and his master would not believe him.
Soon, the servant secretly took the medicine pot and handed it to Chu Ci.
Chu Ci checked it carefully and found that there was no problem with the pot.
"Where are the remaining medicinal residues?"
The servant handed something wrapped in cloth to Chu Ci.
The atmosphere was tense. Chu Ci opened the package, revealing the medicinal herbs inside.
Chu Ci placed the package on the table and checked it bit by bit. After the whole process, Chu Ci shook his head with a stiff face, "There is still no problem."
Chu Ci looked at the servant and said, "Think about it and see if there are any similar things happening in the past few days. Otherwise, it will be really hard to find it."
The servant thought for a moment, holding his forehead with his hand. "Something similar? In the past few days, the servant next to the Second Young Master has appeared every day when I was making medicine, and he kept trying to get close to me."
Chu Ci and Chu Zhen looked at each other, and the servant was dumbfounded. "But I was watching him the whole time, and he didn't even have a chance to go."
The servant stopped talking suddenly when he reached this point.
The exact point of the matter has been found.
Chu Ci took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom and handed it to Chu Zhen. "Brother, I originally just wanted to stop Chu Zhen from framing Li, but I didn't expect that he would use this trick on you."
"Want to frame Li? Isn't he Li's most beloved child? Why?" Chu Zhen was very curious. This was really beyond his imagination.
Chu Ci nodded. "Chu Sheng wants to stop you from taking the imperial examination. He doesn't dare to kill you, so he wants Li's life. Then you will have to stay home in mourning. Your future will be basically ruined. If I wait another three years for my marriage to Prince Rui, his eldest son will be old enough by then, and both of us will be basically ruined."
Chu Ci's words made Chu Zhen fall into deep thought. He knew that human nature was evil, but he didn't expect human nature to be so vicious.
"Could he be crazy?"
Chu Ci looked into the distance. It seemed that she should give Chu Sheng a good beating. Otherwise, she really wouldn't be able to control Chu Sheng well. Since she wanted to make a big fuss, she might as well make it bigger.
