The black shadow stood three feet behind Jiang Yu, bowed his head and said respectfully: "Your Highness."

"Have you found it?"

The shadow shook his head.

Jiang Yu's eyes darkened, and he said calmly: "Keep investigating. The spices on those dead bodies are extremely rare. They must not have come from ordinary supply channels. Follow this to climb up."

"Yes." The man in black bent down and retreated into the darkness.

……

The next day, a bright and ostentatious carriage made of purple sandalwood slowly stopped at the gate of Prince Rui's mansion.

Jiang Che jumped out of the car holding a food box and walked into the mansion in a swagger.

"Sixth brother, take a look at what I brought you. Mother knew you were back and made some cakes for you. They are all your favorites..."

He spoke loudly with a happy face, but as soon as he walked into the inner courtyard, he smelled an extremely strong and pungent smell of medicine.

Jiang Che glanced around, and when he saw the secret guards standing on both sides of the courtyard, his eyes froze and he immediately had a bad premonition.

He quickly pushed the door open and saw Jiang Yu lying on the bed with a pale face. His heart suddenly skipped a beat.

He looked at Yue Zhao who was standing beside him and said hurriedly, "What happened to Sixth Brother? What happened? Hasn't the poison in his body been cured? Why are you still standing there? Go and invite Third Miss over!"

Yue Zhao pursed her lips and said, "Chen Zhao has already gone to invite him. He should be here soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, two hurried footsteps were heard from outside the door.

Lin Shuning carried the medicine box and ran to the bed, panting. Looking at Jiang Yu's closed eyes, her heart suddenly ached as if it was torn apart. "What happened? Wasn't he fine yesterday?"

The poison in his body has clearly been cleared, so it shouldn't be possible for this situation to happen again.

Lin Shuning nervously grabbed his hand and felt his pulse with her fingertips. The moment she felt his pulse, she frowned.

A trace of anger appeared on her little face, and she said coldly: "You guys go out first, I'll be here."

It was the first time that Chen Zhao and Yue Zhao felt such a cold breath from someone other than their master. They suddenly felt a chill on their backs and secretly prayed for their master in their hearts.

They had said long ago that the matter of pretending to be sick could not be hidden from the Third Miss. It was impossible to hide it, but the master just wouldn't listen. Now, she was caught.

"How is Sixth Brother? Is he okay? Does he need some medicine... wuwuwu..."

Jiang Che looked anxious and kept asking questions worriedly. Chen Zhao covered his mouth, and he and Yue Zhao held him on the left and right and dragged him out.

Suddenly, Lin Shuning and Jiang Yu were the only ones left in the room.

The wisps of incense lingered at the tip of his nose. Lin Shuning glanced at the person on the bed angrily: "You are pretending very well. There is no one else here. Get up."

The handsome man on the bed smiled slightly, his long eyelashes trembled, and then he slowly opened his eyes.

Lin Shuning became even angrier. She rushed over in a hurry after getting the news. Her heart almost stopped out of fright. She didn't expect that it was all fake and he was pretending!

She almost thought there was something wrong with her medical skills!

Lin Shuning gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Is it fun to tease me?"

Jiang Yu leaned on the couch, his pale face curled up into a smile, and he explained slowly: "I didn't mean it. The reason I pretended to be like this was to avoid the eyes of those who had ulterior motives. Didn't I tell you before that I would pretend to be sick to cover up, and besides, this is also to protect you.

But I didn't expect that the foolish Chen Zhao would mistake it for the truth and invite you here, causing you to make this trip in vain."

Lin Shuning glared at him and said, "What a waste of a trip! I almost lost my life because of the shock. Do you know how worried I was? I was in a state of panic when I heard the news..."

Lin Shuning suddenly covered her mouth, her heart skipped a beat. Uh, what was she talking about...

Jiang Yu raised his long eyelashes and looked at her with a happy look in his eyes.

Very good, I will let things slip like this often.

Lin Shuning immediately turned his expression back and glared at Jiang Yu again.

The look in his eyes clearly said: Don't try to fool me. Chen Zhao is your most trusted confidant, how could he not know that this plan must have been intentional on your part!

She was really angry because she was really scared.

An inexplicable feeling of grievance suddenly surged into his heart, his nose felt sore, and Lin Shuning's eyes turned red in an instant. He subconsciously punched Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu chuckled, and with a raised hand he easily caught her cotton fist, and with a flick of his hand he pulled Lin Shuning into his arms, and with a pinch of his fingers he grasped Lin Shuning's waist, and that slender waist was brought over like this, and the three movements were smooth and untraceable.

A deep and magnetic voice sounded above her head: "I didn't mean to make you sad..."

Jiang Yu hugged her and coaxed her in a low voice: "How can I bear to make you anxious? Seeing you worried, sad and anxious is also a punishment for me."

Lin Shuning felt very touched when he heard the first sentence, but the more he listened to the latter part, the more he felt something was wrong. Before he had time to figure it out, he realized that he was being held tightly in someone's arms. His face instantly turned red, and he pushed him and said, "What are you talking about? Who is sad and worried? I'm not sad or upset. Stop being narcissistic..."

The faint scent of medicine lingered in her nostrils.

Lin Shuning didn't think there was anything wrong with this smell before, but now he feels that this smell can easily make people depressed and relax their willpower.

She pursed her dry lips, gritted her teeth, and pushed Jiang Yu away completely with force. She said unnaturally: "Anyway, you hurt me, don't think you can just laugh it off."

"Yeah, I think so too. You deserve to be punished," Jiang Yu nodded, smiling as if she was so adorable. "So to comfort your wounded heart, I'll give you an extra 1,000 taels this month. What do you think?"

"One thousand taels?"

Lin Shuning's eyes immediately began to shine again, and his face was full of smiles: "Okay, of course, I don't think there is any problem! What's wrong with making this trip? As your highness's personal physician, I should always be ready to fight for your highness's health! Your Highness, please summon me at any time, don't hesitate to do so!"

Jiang Yu looked at her face, which changed in an instant, and his eyes were as soft as spring water. He curled his lips slightly: "As for the future plans..."

"Shh... no need to say more."

The jade-white fingers immediately blocked Jiang Yu's thin lips.
