The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 794 Poisoning
"So it means that Na Zuo led back to Hejian Mansion earlier than the First Prince? But he sent the First Prince back?"

Gu Chengyu felt that if this was a plan, then this person's scheming was too deep.

It's a pity that there must have been some changes in the middle, which caused the assassination to fail.

"It should be three days before the first prince's visit. I also think it's really a coincidence. The leader's name is You Yuan, but he is indeed from the Hejian Mansion."

Gu Chengyu pondered for a moment, if this matter had not been premeditated, he would not believe it.

But if it was said that the person behind the scenes was the third prince, he didn't quite believe it.

"How did it spread that the third prince's assistant leader saved the first prince? But that assistant leader?"

Gu Chengyu was concentrating for a long time before he could make out his eyebrows.

Yin Kun was stunned for a moment, "It seems that the news came from the First Prince, why? Do you suspect that the First Prince lied and wanted to frame the Third Prince?"

Gu Chengyu confirmed what he thought in his heart, he smiled, "I don't know whether it was planted, but it is true that I want to drag the third prince into the water."

Yin Kun immediately became interested when he heard the words, he stood up and took two steps in the room, pointed at Gu Chengyu and said, "Oh? Tell me quickly."

He knew that Gu Chengyu's mind was spinning quickly, and when he returned home, he wanted to ask someone to invite Gu Chengyu to discuss this matter.

Unexpectedly, Gu Chengyu moved faster than him, and was already waiting at his house.

The carriage didn't stop when it arrived at the Duke of Zhen's mansion, and went straight into the corner gate.

After about half an hour or so, the carriage stopped.Li Langzhong took a deep breath, and was about to get out of the carriage with the medicine box in hand, but was stopped by Steward Sun who was traveling with him.

"Remember what I told you before, you know what to say and what not to say."

At this moment, Steward Sun restrained his previous arrogant expression, but there was a bit of coldness on his face.

Li Langzhong smiled at him, and then got out of the carriage.

Steward Sun spat secretly in the carriage, "Sure enough, I can't get on the stage, and I don't even understand etiquette."

Li Langzhong had just got off the carriage when a woman in a ginger-yellow double-breasted gown stepped forward to salute.

"What is the doctor's name?"

"My surname is Li!" Li Langzhong hastily returned the half-respect.

He knew that he should go to the inner courtyard through the hanging flower gate here, and the woman probably came to lead the way.

"Please also invite Dr. Li to come with the slaves." The mother-in-law didn't say much, and she took Li Langzhong and was about to go to the inner courtyard.

Naturally, Li Langzhong would not inquire whether someone in the family was ill. Judging by his appearance, it must be a young woman.

And he's still the master, otherwise, if he was a servant of the mansion, he would have already informed him.Besides, if you are a servant, you don't have to avoid such taboos.

Li Langzhong didn't look sideways, and followed his mother-in-law all the way to an exquisite small courtyard.

After the maid inside informed, he followed a more well-dressed woman to a room.

This house reveals wealth and honor everywhere, and the fragrance in the house is fragrant.

The big dressing table and the pea green bed curtain all reveal that this is a woman's boudoir.

The woman stepped forward and asked the two girls in the room to gently pull out a jade hand from the bed curtain.

Li Langzhong glanced at it, it must be a young girl.

"Doctor, please take the pulse of our girl." The girl on the side bowed to Li Langzhong and said to him eagerly.

Li Langzhong didn't say much, he skillfully opened the medicine box, took out a silk embroidered handkerchief and covered that slender white wrist.

After a while, the woman and the two maids looked at Li Langzhong anxiously, but they didn't dare to disturb him.

Li Langzhong closed his eyes slightly and frowned, and it took him a while before he let go.

"Doctor, how is my daughter's condition?" The mother-in-law saw that Li Langzhong had been silent for a long time, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"Your girl must have contracted a cold a few days ago, and she has been groggy until today. She may have had a high fever before, and it subsided a little in the past two days, but she hasn't woken up yet."

Li Langzhong hesitated, and finally only spoke more than half.

"That's true. My girl fell into the water before, and she had a high fever that night. After that, I invited a doctor and took the medicine, but it didn't improve, and she was always groggy. But yesterday, she was sleepy all the time. , I touched her forehead, but it was not as hot as before, and I asked the doctor to tell me, why is this?"

The mother-in-law was extremely anxious, and Li Langzhong saw that the circles of her eyes were red, which must be because of the deep love between master and servant.

"Your girl was too thoughtful before, and her body was weak. She took good care of her in the past, and naturally she didn't show weakness. This time she fell into the water, so she recovered more slowly than others."

Li Langzhong paused, with a look of hesitation on his face.

He looked at the censer on the table, it should be storax incense, but this storax incense has a medicinal herb added to it.

Li Langzhong thought of what Guanshi Sun said before, and felt conflicted and helpless.

"It's all the fault of the servant girl, if it wasn't for the servant girl." A girl who looked more stable then covered her face and began to cry, only half-spoken the last words.

"The doctor said the same as the previous ones, but the prescriptions they prescribed did not improve."

The mother-in-law glanced at Li Langzhong suspiciously, and finally felt that her eyes were inappropriate, so she turned her eyes on the bed curtain.

"Your girl is also poisoned." The doctor was worried about his parents, he didn't want to hide anything from the patient.

"What?" The three women in the room said in unison.

Gu Chengyu picked up the tea bowl and took a sip before saying, "The time when Zuo Ling returned to his hometown is too coincidental. I guess it must have been calculated by the people behind the scenes."

"But the person who plotted is not You Yuan's master, the third prince, there should be someone else. You should know why Nazuoling returned to his hometown after checking."

Yin Kun told Gu Chengyu to be confused, "Please explain clearly!"

Gu Chengyu shook his head and laughed, "This is all my guess, not the truth. Brother is not to blame for being misled."

Gu Chengyu is not a god, and he has no direct evidence, so he can only piece together based on Yin Kun's few words, and get an answer that I don't know if it is correct.

He raised two fingers, "There are two conjectures. One, this leader named You Yuan was plotted by the person behind the scenes. It is estimated that something happened to his relatives, so he asked for family leave to return home. The second is that the person who is really loyal to this person is not the third prince, but someone else."

Yin Kun thought for a long time, "These two are very possible, but this does not prove that this matter has nothing to do with the third prince."

Gu Chengyu nodded, "That's why I asked you just now who spread the news."

Yin Kun was thoughtful, he felt as if he had grasped something, but he couldn't fully understand it.

"If You Yuan has another purpose and wants to get the third prince out, then there is no need to involve himself in it. This will only make people feel that it is too coincidental, and it will expose the third prince to others. No one is stupid , the Third Prince was suspicious in the first place, wouldn't others guess that he did the opposite?"
