Chapter 90 Cherry Poisoning
"How long can you stay?"

"I ran out after grabbing an errand. There is still a day's journey away from here, so I can only come to see you off." Zhou Mingyuan is also very sorry, but the emperor has been watching too closely recently, and he studied the picture repeatedly. Almost crazy.

After a moment of tenderness, it is a long parting.There is no promise, and no touching words when parting.One hurried on the road silently, and the other galloped wildly.Lovesickness is about to be hollowed out as soon as it is filled, and wordless sadness permeates the invisible air.

In the eyes of people in the capital, Annan is an extremely distant place, so far away that most people think it is wild and poor, but when they actually arrive here, they will find that it is a very warm and comfortable place.

"Miss, look, every household here is planted with flowers, so beautiful." Cherry pointed to the flowers protruding from the walls of every household, and kept talking in amazement.

Chen Daren also looked at the clothes of the passers-by with a smile on his face, and said something to Su Dazhuang.Su Dazhuang was delighted to hear this, and said to Aunt Su, "Look at the people here. On this street, there are people wearing spring shirts and jackets. The strangest thing is that it's already autumn, and there are still people wearing summer clothes."

The person sitting in the carriage opened the car window and found that it was indeed the case.Several people laughed, found an inn that was almost surrounded by the entire sea of ​​flowers, and stayed in.

After settling down, Chen Jiao'er didn't want to eat, but just wanted to take a nap.Aunt Su touched her forehead and found that the young lady was just exhausted, so she went downstairs in peace.

The first floor of the inn is the place to eat, and a few people didn't want to go far, so they directly ordered a few local specialties to try.Chen Jiao'er is used to being very generous with money, and she is very tolerant towards her own people.The money is on Mrs. Su, and she told them to eat whatever they want early in the morning, and don't hold back.

Cherry was very curious when she saw a pot of vegetables raised in water. They didn't even have a leaf, and they were still soaked in water.After asking Xiao Er, he seemed to have got some treasure, and ran back and said, "Look, that green vegetable is called watery flower, and Xiao Er said that it is smooth and tender, and it is delicious."

"Eat it if it's delicious." Aunt Su doted on Cherry and sat down. She also watched Cherry grow up, and she has no children, so she naturally cared for her very much.

Four people sat around a table, and the laughter was very lively.After eating the cherries, he still smacked his lips, "The grilled fish here is so delicious, fragrant and crispy, I lost all the fishbone..." Halfway through speaking, he suddenly tilted his body and fell directly to the ground.

The three of them had already raised their legs and were about to leave, but when they heard a "crash", the table, bench and plates on the table were tilted, and the cherry that was smiling just now was unconscious and fell down.

Everyone in a panic helped Cherry up, and Chen Daren yelled directly, "What a black shop, it's killing people, hurry up and call the doctor, or something will happen, and I will smash your shop."

The owner of the inn had already run out from behind the counter, yelling for a young man who was running fast to call Lang Zhong.Chen Daren picked up Cherry, and felt that her breathing became short of breath, her rosy face turned red and hot as if blood had accumulated, and she was so anxious that she didn't know what to do.

At the reminder of Mrs. Su, she picked up Cherry and went upstairs. Mrs. Su laid Cherry flat on the bed, twisted a cold towel to help her reduce the fever.

The inn is on the main street, and there are naturally medical clinics around, and soon Xiaoer took the doctor upstairs to check Cherry's pulse.The innkeeper was busy downstairs appeasing the diners, explaining that there was absolutely nothing wrong with the food in his inn.

After tossing around all afternoon, I even changed three doctors, and they all shook their heads after taking the pulse, saying that they couldn't diagnose any disease.But no one can explain why Cherry has shortness of breath, fever and coma, let alone how to treat it.

Seeing the seriousness of the matter, the innkeeper also took it easy and poked his head at the door of the room from time to time.I want to explain that four people at a table eat the same meal, and the other three are fine, so it's definitely not the inn's problem.Seeing Chen Daren's long knife, he still couldn't muster up the courage to speak.

"What's the matter with you guys? What are you doing here?" Chen Jiao'er woke up and saw that the sun was still bright, but she didn't see Cherry, and she didn't see Aunt Su, she was a little strange.When I got out of the room, I saw that Cherry and Aunt Su's room was surrounded by several people, all of them moaning and sighing.

"Miss, Cherry... something happened to her." Aunt Su was crying, her eyes were red, it seemed that she had already cried a lot.

"What, let me see." The people guarding the bed took a step back consciously, Chen Jiao'er stepped forward to hold Cherry's hand, opened her eyes and mouth carefully, and said after a long time, "When did it happen, how did it happen?" occurring."

Chen Daren talked about the lunch, and looked at the lady earnestly.

"So, you also ate these meals. Then it's not a matter of the meals... Has anyone approached suspiciously during the meal?" Chen Jiao'er was quite sure that the cherries were poisoned.

Hearing what Chen Jiaoer said, the innkeeper was greatly relieved, he finally had a sensible person.

"No." Everyone shook their heads, and they were all paying attention when they were out.If someone is near, someone will definitely notice.But at the time, really not.

"I need some medicinal materials and tools for boiling medicine." Cherry picked up the pen and paper that the doctor had prepared but didn't use, and took a pen to write down and threw it to the boss standing aside. "Whether it has something to do with your restaurant or not? Not sure. Poisoning doesn't have to be in the food. Anything is possible. I will wait for her to wake up before asking. You'd better bless her to be fine."

"Yes, yes." The innkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead. Although there were people behind him, they were preparing for the unreasonable troubles of the guests.Opening the door to do business, it is easy to have conflicts with customers, not to mention what happens to customers in his shop, it is wrong.

The owner of the inn sent Xiaoer to buy medicinal materials, and Su Dazhuang went to the carriage to take out the tools for boiling medicine, and carried them directly to Cherry's room.

After pouring down a large bowl of steaming concoction, Cherry gave a "sigh" and slowly opened her eyes. Just about to say something, Chen Jiao'er said, "It's okay, I know you are very tired, and you can talk after you sleep."

Cherry nodded with difficulty, and soon fell into a deep sleep.Aunt Su kept watch at night, and Chen Jiaoer was afraid that the medicine would relapse, so she moved her luggage and went to the cherry room to make a bed on the floor.

Aunt Su wanted to stop her, but she said that the life of a cherry is more important than anything else, so she pushed her back.Fortunately, nothing happened overnight, and Cherry woke up early the next morning, but she was a little weak and needed to lie in bed for two days.

Knowing that she was poisoned, Cherry was even more surprised than them, and she still shook her head after thinking about it for a long time.Seeing that she couldn't tell anything strange, Chen Jiao'er comforted her, "It's a very mild poison. Even if you don't drink the antidote, you can wake up by yourself in ten days and a half months. Don't take it too seriously. Maybe you accidentally smelled something Toxic pollen, or eating something I don't know."

Scent, yes, it is fragrance, Cherry eyes lit up, and said eagerly, "My servant remembered it. When I was ordering, I saw a very interesting dish name on the menu, so I asked Xiaoer to take my servant to see it. There is a big basin full, and when the servants squatted at the door to watch, they seemed to smell a very fragrant smell."

"And then." Chen Jiao'er frowned.

"Then the servant stood up and saw a little girl standing next to the servant, who seemed to be interested in the pot of vegetables. The servant, the servant even smiled at her." Cherry recalled.

The little girl in her teens was wearing a pink butterfly cut silk spring shirt, with two spiral buns and pink silk flowers.The chin is pointed, the small face has a little baby fat, and there are two dimples when she smiles.

According to Cherry's memory, Chen Jiao sketched out such an image.But the problem is, how many girls in their teens don't grow up like this.It seemed that unless this girl appeared again, there would be no one to be found.

The work of comforting Cherry was handed over to Aunt Su, and Chen Jiaoer went back to the house, took out the prescription that she had handwritten in the luggage, and stuffed it back into her close-fitting clothes.

That's right, when cherries were poisoned, the first thing Chen Jiao'er thought of was people from the Lu family.There are techniques that people can't detect at all, as well as poisoning people with poison. Most importantly, this is Annan, the last hidden place of the legendary Lu family girl.

But there is only one explanation why the people of the Lu family want to attack Cherry, to test themselves.Then if he was detoxified, did he pass the temptation of the Lu family, and would they come to find his "fellow family"?

Thinking of the Lu family's relationship with the Great Zhou Dynasty that has always been neither an enemy nor a friend, and the Emperor's fear of the Lu family, if it can be recognized by the Lu family.I should also have an identity, an identity that can stand by Zhou Mingyuan's side by separating myself from the Chen family.

Just staying in this inn, Chen Jiao'er had a rare free time, sitting in the inn every day to read prescriptions.Cherry, on the other hand, couldn't sit still after recovering, and ran outside with Chen Daren every day, saying that she wanted to catch the little girl and torture her to see if she poisoned her.

Cherry ran outside for half a month and didn't find a single strand of the little girl's hair. In addition, her health had recovered early and she was lively and dancing every day, so she gradually forgot about it.It's just that I played wildly. Seeing that the young lady is accompanied by Aunt Su, I still run out if I have nothing to do.

Seeing that Chen Daren was with her, Chen Jiao'er didn't hold her back.Anyway, when this girl goes out for a trip, she will have endless new things to talk about when she comes back, she is really a pleasant person to relieve boredom.

It's already October, and if it starts to snow in the capital, you can't sit in the house without a stove.The winter in Annan is not very cold, and it is neither cold nor hot, which is the most pleasant season.

"Miss, is Cherry back yet?" Chen Daren ran back, sweating profusely.

"No, didn't you guys go out together?" Chen Jiao'er stood up, playing with the cherry blossoms, but she knew how to measure it, and would never go out alone without saying hello.Not to mention that they will not be separated from the companions outside at will.
