what!

Poisoned!

how is this possible.

"Zhiyi, is there something wrong?" In a family like theirs, all meals were checked before being served to the table.

Xie Zhiyi shook his head: "My way of taking the pulse was taught to me by my master himself, so it must be correct. It's just that the poison this person gave me was too strong. I didn't have any terrible reaction. The only feeling was that I loved to sleep, until I couldn't wake up in the end!"

After he said this, Jiang Weinan had to take it seriously and think about what had happened during this period of time.

He raised his hand: "Let me see it too."

Xie Zhiyi held Jiang Weinan's hand, his slightly cool fingertips resting on his wrist, and frowned slightly: "Brother-in-law, you are also poisoned."

This undoubtedly confirms Jiang Weinan's guess.

"If you are also poisoned, then my sister..."

When I thought of this, I suddenly became worried.

"No, I need to go show it to my sister."

Jiang Weinan stopped him and said, "Wait in front. I'll go get your sister. Don't alert the enemy."

Xie Zhiyi nodded seriously.

Jiang Weinan called Xie Jiaojiao out.

"what happened?"

After briefly explaining the whole thing, the smile on Xie Jiaojiao's face disappeared.

When he arrived in front of Xie Zhiyi, Xie Zhiyi raised his hand to feel Jiang Weinan's pulse and nodded.

"Is there any solution?"

Xie Zhiyi shook his head and nodded: "I don't know, but I can go back and ask my master."

Jiang Weinan looked at Xie Jiaojiao: "This must be told to uncle."

Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "Well, you can just say that I feel a little uncomfortable, and they will naturally come to see me. Then we will dismiss everyone and let Zhiyi take a look at everyone."

Jiang Weinan nodded quickly, pulled a servant over, and asked her to take Xie Jiaojiao to the backyard to rest.

Then he went to the hall.

"Second aunt, Jiaojiao just felt a little uncomfortable. I asked the servants to take her to the yard where I lived before to rest for a while."

"Could it be that the snow is so heavy that you caught a cold? I'll go check it out." When the aunt said she wanted to go check it out, everyone followed her.

Everyone was surrounded by servants.

On the way, Jiang Weinan sent some people away.

The aunt glanced at him and saw Jiang Weinan winking at her slightly.

My aunt immediately said, "We are going to see a patient. If we have so many people, the room won't be big enough."

As soon as he arrived at the door, he said to all the servants: "Just wait at the door."

When she arrived at the bedside, Xie Jiaojiao sat up when she saw that no one was there. She first took her aunt's hand and asked Xie Zhiyi to feel her pulse.

"What happened?" He Mengwan asked.

Xie Jiaojiao took her hand and wrote two words: poisoned.

He Mengwan suddenly became serious.

Xie Zhiyi nodded, pulled Jiang Ruonan's hand and touched her.

Seeing that everyone looked serious, Jiang Ruonan did not ask any more questions. She only saw Xie Zhiyi take over one by one, and everyone nodded.

Everyone's mood suddenly became heavy.

The aunt knocked the ground twice with her walking stick, and she must have been angry.

He whispered to He Mengwan, "Send someone back to tell Zhongren about this as soon as he attends the morning court. This matter must be thoroughly investigated!"

He Mengwan nodded.

Old Master Jiang was unable to come over because he was holding Xiaoxiao, but after hearing Ruonan's explanation, he handed Xiaoxiao to her wet nurse.

Then head towards the main house.

Jiang Ruonan held him down and said, "Grandmother said that we can't alert the enemy. If we are all poisoned, it must be a traitor in the family. Let's wait until Dad leaves the court."

Old Master Jiang nodded: "Then everything will remain the same today."

Jiang Ruonan nodded.

Everyone behaved normally in the afternoon. Some were playing cards, some were barbecuing.

Return to the Prime Minister's Mansion in the evening.

When Jiang Zhongren heard about this, he slammed the table in anger.

He Mengwan said to him: "It was discovered early anyway."

After that, he took out a small bottle from his arms and poured out a pill: "Take this."

Only when she saw him eat it did she feel relieved.

"Today, we are all thanks to Jiaojiao's brother, otherwise, we wouldn't know when we would die!"

At this point, she asked again, "Why is the court so late today?"

When talking about this, Jiang Zhongren's face was heavy. "Today, the emperor went to court with all his strength, but the Duke's Mansion said one word and the emperor went back to bed. I will wait until the emperor's condition stabilizes before returning."

He Mengwan listened and was also frightened.

"But if our emperor were to die like this, Linglong and the others..."

When it comes to this, Jiang Zhongren's eyes reveal a hint of ruthlessness: "Madam, don't worry, since I've bet on the Jiang Mansion, I will also fight for you!"

He Mengwan nodded, feeling worried.

Let’s talk about the poisoning today.

"Assign people to observe this matter secretly. If anyone is found to be doing something fishy, ​​beat them to death. This is a matter of life and death, and we cannot make any wrong steps!"

"Okay, I see."

The New Year is coming soon, and the streets of the capital are bustling with activity.

That day, He Mengwan went to the Earl's Mansion in person to bring back his eldest daughter-in-law and grandchildren.

Xie Jiaojiao then discovered that A Tian and A Di were twin brothers, who looked exactly the same at the age of seven or eight.

Jiang Weinan took the initiative to introduce: "Jiaojiao, this is my sister-in-law."

Xie Jiaojiao quickly bowed and called her sister-in-law.

Ye Yulan looked a little embarrassed: "I'm really sorry, my mother was ill, so I was delayed for a few days. I was only able to see my sister-in-law today. I hope my sister-in-law can forgive me."

Xie Jiaojiao smiled and shook her head.

Then she pushed A Tian A Di out and said, "Call me aunt."

The two children looked like exquisite figures, and they shouted respectfully, "Hello, auntie!"

"Good good."

But it was a bit awkward because I didn't prepare anything at the last minute.

But the kids probably didn't think about any kind of gift. One of them asked, "Aunt, I heard we have a younger sister? Where is she?"

"In my cousin's yard."

Their eyes lit up, and they turned around and asked He Mengwan: "Grandma, can we go see my sister?"

"Of course you can! But you can't stay there all day and disturb your sister's rest. Secondly, you can't neglect your studies."

"I got it, grandma!" The two of them were so happy that they almost jumped up.

He Mengwan looked at them lovingly: "Two naughty monkeys!"

With the child here, the house becomes much more lively.

Every day, as soon as Xie Jiaojiao and the others got up, the two kids would come running and say they wanted to see their sister.

As soon as they left, Old Master Jiang came again.

That day, He Mengwan received a letter from the palace and called Jiang Weinan and Xie Jiaojiao.

"Jiaojiao, the New Year is coming soon. Linglong said she wants to see you. If you are free tomorrow, do you have time..."

"Aunt, I want to meet Sister Linglong too!"

He Mengwan smiled and nodded: "That's good, then I will reply now, hand over the visiting card, and let Ruonan and Yan'er accompany you to the palace tomorrow."

Xie Jiaojiao nodded.

After all, she was entering the palace, and He Mengwan was afraid that Xie Jiaojiao didn't understand the palace etiquette, so he specially asked someone to teach her in the afternoon.

The next morning, Li Yan'er came over. Xie Jiaojiao packed up and followed her and Jiang Ruonan into the palace.
