At this time, Du Shaoqing couldn't help but have other views on the brother in front of him.

"The motive, hey, my younger brother is pure speculation, but rumors in the mansion are that the second elder brother inherited his father's dukedom of Lai, and he is afraid that his mother will find you back, because you are the eldest son, and you will compete with him for the title , so so" Du He stammered with helplessness on his face.

"That's why he attacked my mother, so as to hold her back from looking for me. If this fails, will he be able to keep his title?" Du Shaoqing said coldly. As for whether this attitude is towards Du Gou or towards me It's hard to say about Du He in front of him.

Seeing what Du He wanted to say, Du Shaoqing waved his hand and said: "Okay, I understand what you said. Although family ugliness should not be publicized, I will never let anyone who poisoned my mother, not even the mother's own son. Find out who it is, I can't spare him.

You don't need to say more, since the imperial court has sent people to intervene in this matter, we just wait for the result. "

Hearing the elder brother's murderous words, Du He couldn't help shivering, nodded and said: "That's right, we can't let him go. Then I'll go back and watch the case first, and mother will trouble my elder brother to take care of him here. I'll come and visit when I have time."

Nodding his head, Du Shaoqing watched the other party walk out of the imperial hospital quickly, thinking in his heart, this kid is so attentive, is he really filial or prudish?

Just when Du Shaoqing was meditating in a daze, his daughter Du Xuanxuan's voice came from beside him, "Ah, grandma is awake, grandma is awake, come quickly, daddy!"

Du Shaoqing hurriedly rushed over, and sure enough, Qi's eyes on the bed had already opened, and he was lovingly looking at the little girl next to him, and turned his head following the child's cry, and the one who caught his eyes was not Have you been thinking about that son for so many years?

"You, you are Qing, Qing'er?" After being ill for many days, Qi's body was weak, and even his voice became hoarse.

Kneeling on the bedside floor, Du Shaoqing took his mother's hand and asked with concern: "Mother, how are you feeling? Is there any discomfort? Thank God, I thought you would wake up in three days. I didn't expect you to wake up so soon."

"You, what do you call me? Child, you, are you willing to admit your mother?" Qi's excited body trembled slightly.

"I admit it, how can I not admit it, I recognized it that day in Luoxia Town, but you turned around and left, it's all my fault, I didn't go after you personally, otherwise nothing would happen to you," Du Shaoqing said with tears in his eyes. Said responsibly.

Chapter 91 The mother-in-law tests the son-in-law

Mrs. Qi took her son's hand, just smiled and didn't speak, just observed quietly, as if the person in front of her was so dreamy, she was afraid that if she said one more word about this dream, she would be awakened, Du Shaoqing also knew that her mother treated her The feelings, combined with the tranquility that did not break this moment.

Until the little Xuanxuan next to her couldn't wait any longer, she shook Qi's hand and said coquettishly: "Grandma, grandma, and Xuanxuan? Why are you always looking at Daddy? It was Xuanxuan who woke you up. Ignore people."

Looking back at the complaining granddaughter, Mrs. Qi hugged her in her arms, "Yes, yes, yes, I forgot my good granddaughter, grandma is wrong, grandma is wrong."

Du Shaoqing looked at the joyful appearance of his grandparents and grandson, smiled knowingly, stood up and said: "Mother just woke up, she must be hungry, my son will go and make you something to eat."

"No, you come here to talk to my mother. I have been thinking about this day for 20 years, and today I finally got what I wanted. Just leave the cooking to the servants." The old lady thought she was in Lai Guogong's mansion. .

"How can there be any servants? You are in the Imperial Hospital now, and you were brought here for treatment yesterday." Du Shaoqing said with a smile.

"Why, why are you here? Why aren't you at home? I've already told your two younger brothers that I'm going to take you back to recognize your ancestors. Could it be that they're going back on their word and fooling you into being your mother?" Qi asked puzzled. road.

"Don't you remember what happened before? Forget it, let Xuanxuan apologize to you. I'll make you some food first. Let's talk about it when you're full. Everything is fine at home. You I came here to treat illnesses." Du Shaoqing patted his old lady's hand to comfort him.

On the other side of the Lizheng Hall, Zhang Chuchen was still persuading Empress Changsun, "Since this child is Du Xiang's son, he is completely worthy of Changle, so don't stop my sister, after all, the whole thing is done, the child is already so old , the two of them really have lovers, their own biological daughters, why bother to beat the mandarin ducks?"

Empress Changsun frowned slightly, "My sister will speak for him. Lizhi is my daughter. Of course I want her to marry a good family. Although he is the eldest son of Du Xiang, he is still white without an official or title. Even if I am more magnanimous, Regardless of this family background.

But I have to try his character, ability, and true feelings. If he does not meet my criteria for choosing a son-in-law, or if he is not loyal enough to love, hmph, then I absolutely cannot agree, and I will not watch him. My daughter is entrusted with inhumanity. "

"Hey, you, why are you so stubborn? Don't you care about Changle's thoughts?" Zhang Chuchen said helplessly, but he didn't think so in his heart, because when it comes to character and ability, Du Shaoqing is better than how many emperors hand-picked him. I'm the son-in-law, and I haven't seen you, the queen, stand up for the test of those second-generation ancestors.

These princesses are all your daughters, aren't they used by the emperor as a bargaining chip to win over courtiers?Do you love Changle alone?Of course, Zhang Chuchen couldn't say this.

At this moment, the maid came to report that Princess Changle insisted on seeing the queen.

"Hehe, look, you stop the family from seeing each other, and watch how your daughter makes trouble with you." Zhang Chuchen covered his mouth and laughed aside.

The two came to Princess Changle's residence, and the princess was full of anxiety, "Mother, has Xuanxuan come to Chang'an? I seem to have seen her with Sister Xizi just now."

"Oh? You two met?" The queen was surprised, but then she thought it was impossible. If she met, then little Xuanxuan would definitely not look like a normal person.

"Is that true? Queen Mother, please let my daughter go out, I can't see my child." Princess Changle jumped up and cried.

The queen said seriously: "That's enough, I'm doing it for your own good. Then Du Shaoqing has no power and power, even if you can go to recognize each other regardless of your reputation, where will you let the royal family face? Your father Can they accommodate their father and daughter?"

The princess was rendered speechless, and stared at her mother blankly, "But he is already Du Xiang's son."

"So what? If you don't recognize your ancestors, have no official status, and Du Xiang is gone, you won't be worthy of you after all.

At most, your father will not kill him for his father's sake, but the result will definitely not be good.

You don't need to worry about this matter, I will leave everything to my mother later, I can assure you, if this kid is sincere to you, then I can also give him a hand, if he is a ruthless person, hmph, You better forget it.

If you don't want to harm their father and daughter, then before that, what you have to do is not to reveal your relationship with him, let alone see their father and daughter. "

The queen's face was ashen, and her words could not be refuted at all. The princess's face was pale, but she could only nod obediently.

Zhang Chuchen next to him said helplessly: "You two, mother and daughter, why bother?"

In the imperial hospital, Du Shaoqing personally stewed a pot of rotten millet porridge for his mother, and also boiled a bowl of nourishing mutton soup. There is no iron pot here, so he can only make do with stewing something.

Seeing his son feeding him mouthfuls with a bowl, Qi, who ate a meal, smiled happily as if he had been several years younger. He just couldn't get enough of this lost and recovered son.

"You mean, mother is not sick, but someone poisoned her?" After the meal, the two talked about the incident, and Qi asked in surprise.

"That's right, and what is certain is that the person who poisoned you was someone close to you, and the murderer is still being investigated. Do you still remember who put spices in your house on the day or the day before you fell ill?" Du Shaoqing asked.

Shaking her head, Mrs. Qi said: "Usually, the cleaning and decorations in the room are done by the second maid, Xiaoju, but she has been working in our house for many years, so it can't be her."

"It's hard to say now. Dali Temple is sending people to investigate. After all, I will never let the murderer go." Du Shaoqing said bitterly.

"Forget about the child, isn't this all right, mother? Don't worry about others anymore. If mother can find you, it is God's blessing from Bodhisattva with eyes. Mother doesn't want you to worry about this matter." Qi persuaded road.

At this time, Empress Changsun and Hong Funu came in from the outside. The Empress saw that the Qi family had woken up, and said with a smile, "Oh, are you mother and son whispering? I also said to see if sister Qi is awake, but I It's not the right time to come with Sister Hong."

"Ah, it's the queen's aunt!" Du Xuanxuan, who was playing with cats, said in surprise, and then trotted over to say hello.

Mrs. Qi was about to turn over and get out of bed, but Empress Zhangsun hurried forward to stop her, "Sister Qi is resting before her illness recovers, and my sister is sitting by your bed. Let us sisters just talk."

Before she sat down, the queen saw the bowls and chopsticks next to her, "Huh? Sister, did you just eat?"

"Hehe, the child is filial, knowing that I'm hungry, he made it for me himself." Mrs. Qi praised her son.

Hong Fu Nu echoed from the side: "Sister Qi is blessed, your son's cooking skills are amazing, cooking is much better than the royal chef in the palace."

Mrs. Qi thought it was others who praised her son, and didn't care, but the empress caught hold of the words, "Oh? Is that so? Even the royal chef can't compare? That won't work. I want to try it. I've been sick recently. I don’t even have an appetite for a meal, so I wonder if Doctor Du can condescend to cook some appetizers for Ben Gong?”

As a junior, Du Shaoqing was originally bored by standing aside with his hands down, but now it's fine, why is it still a matter of trouble?I'm a doctor, not a cook, let me cook?This queen will not intentionally take revenge on me because of the previous incident, right?

Chapter 92

Inside Lai Guo Gongfu, two investigators from Dali Temple were reporting the progress of the case to Du Gou.

"Mr. Lai, according to our investigation of the scene, it is true that someone deliberately drugged the incense burner, and there were still ashes of the incense stick in the incense burner. We found out that it was Xiaoju, the second maid of Lingtang, who lit the incense that day.

It’s just that this maid said on the day Lingtang’s accident happened that something happened at home and went back. We have already sent people to her hometown to look for it. If we find her, the truth should be revealed. "

Another official said: "However, we estimate that this possibility is not high. Since it is a deliberate crime, it will definitely go far away, so we conducted a search from the market to see who has recently bought ecstasy incense from the Du family. There are only a few companies that have this item on the black market, and there is no result yet.”
