I just want to live a happy life

Chapter 260: Startling Steps - 4 Fu Jin 06

Because of this, Li, who was promoted to concubine, was sad again, but her sadness did not last long, as she became pregnant again. It was thought that this baby should be Hongshi.

Yu Ludai treated her normally, rewarded her with some things according to the rules, and told her to take good care of the pregnancy, and then left her alone.

In the 41st year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi, her son Honghui was three years old.

Honghui was Yinzhen's eldest son, and Yinzhen attached great importance to him, so he let Honghui start learning to read and write when he was three years old.

Every day Honghui would go to the front yard to be taught by an invited master or by Yinzhen himself. Honghui was very smart and could recite the Three Character Classic at such a young age.

Honghui is still young, and he doesn't study for many hours every day, maybe one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon. The rest of the time is up to him.

Yu Ludai felt sorry for him and would prepare delicious food for him every day to supplement his nutrition.

Ever since he took the health pills, Honghui has been in good health and has never been sick. He is also very smart and learns knowledge effortlessly.

Honghui is now healthy and lively. As a mother, she couldn't be happier.

A few years passed peacefully like this, and Honghui was eight years old.

According to the original owner's memory, when Honghui was eight years old, he had a high fever and then died.

She had to be vigilant at all times, as she wanted to know who wanted to harm Honghui.

Honghui came to the main courtyard from the front yard. Yu Ludai looked at the young boy who walked in with a smile.

"My son, please pay my respects to your mother."

Yu Ludai took him to the table and said, "There is no need for so many formalities between us mother and son."

Honghui picked up the teapot and poured himself a glass of water, then said with a smile, "Son, I know."

Yu Ludai wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "What have you been doing? Why are you sweating so much? It's cold now. What if you catch a cold when the wind blows?"

Honghui explained, "I practiced martial arts with Master Wu in the front yard for a while, so I sweated a little. Mother, don't worry. When have you ever seen your son get sick? He is in good health."

Yu Ludai glanced at him and said, "I know you are in good health, but you can't be so casual. You are still young now, you have to take good care of yourself, okay? Mother will also give a few more instructions to the people around you."

Honghui nodded, he knew that his mother was doing this for his own good.

This time when Honghui came back from the front yard, Yu Ludai specially made some delicious food, all of which were Honghui's favorites.

Honghui stayed in the main courtyard for a day before going back.

Honghui moved to the front yard when he was six years old. He is now a teenager, and the backyard is full of women, so Honghui will not stay in the main yard at night except during the day.

Not long after Honghui went back, Cuixia came back.

When Yu Ludai married Yinzhen, in addition to Nanny Cheng, she also brought four other maids from home, namely Cuichun, Cuixia, Cuiqiu and Cuidong.

Cuichun and Cuiqiu both took care of her personally. Cuixia and Cuidong were responsible for managing some affairs of the main courtyard, respectively.

She thought about it and realized that if there were really people who wanted to harm Honghui, they would only attack his food, clothing, housing and transportation. Honghui lived in the front yard, and if someone in the backyard wanted to harm Honghui, it would be impossible for them to reach into the front yard.

Honghui's clothing, housing and transportation were all managed by Yuludai and Yinzhen, so it was impossible for them to interfere in these three aspects.

There is a big kitchen in the mansion, and the food cooked in the big kitchen is supplied to the entire mansion. Yinzhen and Honghui are in the front yard, and they ask people to get food from the big kitchen when they want to eat.

Over the years, the big kitchen has been in her hands, but she deliberately left a loophole. She wanted to see who would fall into the trap.

I didn't expect to receive news so soon.

Cuixia came to Yuludai and said seriously, "Fujin, I have observed for a few days and found that Yun'er beside Princess Niuhulu is sneaky. When she goes to the kitchen to get food, she always asks about Prince Honghui's condition."

A hint of deep thought flashed across Yu Ludai's eyes: "Princess Niu Hulu?"

It seems that Honghui’s accident might be related to her.

If it was really her, a fierce look flashed in Yu Ludai's eyes, she would never let her go.

Later, the people that Defei had placed in Yong Beile's mansion quietly entered the main courtyard.

"You mean someone around Concubine De gave you a medicine and asked you to give it to Princess Niuhulu, and then let Princess Niuhulu put the medicine in Honghui's food?"

The maid kneeling on the ground trembled: "Yes, yes, Fu Jin."

Yu Ludai asked, "Where's the medicine?"

The maid quickly took out the medicine and handed it to Cuichun. Yu Ludai took it from Cuichun, looked at it, smelled it, and then her face darkened.

She knew about this kind of medicine. She had bought a medical book in the system mall before. It contained many priceless prescriptions that could save lives, and of course, there were also poisons that could kill people without them being noticed.

If she remembered correctly, the medicine given by Concubine De was a poison mentioned in her medical books. People who took this medicine would first have a high fever, then slowly get better, and then their illness would worsen until it was beyond help.

Good, now she understood everything, it turned out that Concubine De was the murderer.

Honghui is her grandson. How could she be so cruel to kill her own grandson?

But Yu Ludai didn't care who she was. Since she wanted to harm her Honghui, she would definitely make her pay the price.

Yu Ludai put the medicine away temporarily, and then gave the maid a medicine that was almost the same but useless: "Give this medicine to Niu Hulu, and tell her what Concubine De's people told you to do."

Maid: "Yes, Fu Jin."

Before, Yu Ludai made Defei's people drink her drops of loyalty, so naturally, Defei's people in Yong Beile's mansion were not spared.

So as soon as I receive the news, I will report it to her.

When Cuichun told her that Yun'er, who was with Niuhulu, was acting suspiciously, she knew that Niuhulu was not content anymore.

If she received an order from Concubine De, she would most likely not refuse.

After Yu Ludai asked someone to go down, he used his plant powers to see what Niu Hulu would say after taking the medicine.

Yun'er was standing beside Niuhulu and said anxiously, "Princess, we really need to do something for the Empress Defei. What if we are discovered?"

Niuhulu was not worried at all: "No, didn't the maid just say that the Defei will handle it well and will definitely not find out about me."

Yun'er: "But..."

Niuhulu: "Okay, you don't need to say anything, I know what's going on."

Seeing Gege's impatient look, Yun'er could only shut her mouth.

Yun'er was very scared. She was also shocked at how cruel and cold-blooded Concubine De was. Prince Honghui was her grandson.

The princess wanted to harm Prince Honghui, and she could still convince herself that this was a backyard fight, all for the future of the little master in the princess' belly, but Concubine De...

Tiger venom doesn't even eat seeds.
