Yu Jin nodded and replied: "Yes."

"I heard that this restaurant has a new dish that includes your favorite crucian carp. How about we order this dish today?"

Yu Jin lowered his eyes to look at her and smiled, "I'll listen to you, Madam."

Gu Qinghe, who was sitting on the second floor, saw that the two people ordered a crucian carp dish and two vegetarian dishes, and immediately understood - this was a newlywed couple who was poorer than her.

Therefore, she no longer placed her hopes on the two of them, and she immediately began to look for someone who might have a cure for her wounds.

After waiting for a long time and still not seeing Concubine Jin, Gu Qinghe's patience gradually disappeared. Thinking that Liubai outside the building had not had his meal for the whole morning, he was about to go downstairs when something unexpected happened.

The man of the young couple she had just taken a fancy to suddenly bent over and began to vomit, and even had a tendency to fall backwards. The woman supported him in panic and shouted anxiously to the owner of the restaurant.

When Gu Qinghe went downstairs following the sound, she was questioning the shopkeeper in a harsh voice: "What's in this dish?!"

The shopkeeper was also frightened by this sudden change. Others didn't know, but he could tell that this was their newly appointed county magistrate. He wiped the cold sweat from his face and pretended to be calm, "We didn't put anything in this. It's just a normal dish of pickled crucian carp with some spices to remove the fishy smell."

Yu Jin endured the nausea in his chest and the pain in his abdomen, and comforted him, "Ayu, don't be afraid."

The woman looked at him with tears in her eyes, then turned to the shopkeeper and cried, "Tell your waiter to bring the doctor from Renmin Hall here. It's better not to let me find out that you have done anything, otherwise I will make you pay!"

At that moment, the common people downstairs threw down their chopsticks and scattered.

“No, no.” The shopkeeper kept bowing and nodding, waving his hands and eyes to signal someone to find a doctor, and apologized: “Madam, don’t panic, I will ask someone to find a doctor right away. I think your symptoms should be…”

Before he could finish his words, he was stopped by the woman's furious eyes: "Do you know our identities?"

The shopkeeper was sweating profusely and was speechless for a moment: "This..."

The scene gradually turned into a deliberate murder. Gu Qinghe looked at the man who was gradually fainting in the woman's arms, holding his stomach, and thought of his symptom of vomiting just now. She finished the shopkeeper's guess: "Madam, your husband's symptoms should be food poisoning."

On the second floor, a man in brocade clothes, holding a bamboo fan, stood by the armrest where Gu Qinghe had just sat, in a position with an excellent view, and took in the entire scene.

"It's you." The woman looked over at the voice, her suspicion deepening. "When we entered the restaurant earlier, you were staring at us. I thought my husband was being too vigilant, but now I think there's something wrong with you too!"

"..." Gu Qinghe felt like a pot of black pot had fallen from the sky. She glanced at the leftovers on the table and said, "Madam, if I can prove myself, what will you do?"

"If I have wronged you, I will apologize and promise you one thing." Seeing the girl's frank face, Jiang Yiyu's doubts gradually subsided, and she said frankly: "If I find out that you are the one who did something, I will definitely reserve a room in the government prison for you."

"...Hmm." Gu Qinghe didn't expect that he would have a fixed room when he came to ancient times. "Madam, can you tell me what you ate when you came to the restaurant?"

Food poisoning, either someone drugged it, or the food was incompatible with each other. Gu Qinghe asked Fanfan before he spoke, otherwise he would not have intervened on his own.

Fanfan said there is no problem with the food, so it can only be the incompatibility of the foods.
