With someone watching over him, Deyin felt much more at ease and fell asleep soon.
"Is everything done?" Two people whispered for a while in the kitchen of Xiangshanju, and then the man nodded and walked out.
The day after tomorrow they arrived in Henan, Yinzhen and Thirteenth Prince were still discussing disaster relief in their room. It was not difficult to find out whether the disaster relief funds allocated by the court were embezzled by local officials, but it was not easy to find evidence. I was afraid that officials would protect each other and it would be difficult to do things.
"Fourth brother, should we ask the Governor of Henan to help investigate this matter?"
"Don't act rashly. Let's wait until we get to Henan." Yinzhen was quite alert. If these people knew the news, it would be more troublesome to investigate.
Deyin was a light sleeper to begin with, and being outside made her unable to tolerate any noise. As soon as she turned over, she felt something crawling and falling, and she woke up immediately.
The snake on the ground seemed to be attracted by the scent of Deyin and climbed up the edge of the bed again. Deyin opened the quilt and ran towards the door, but the snake bit her calf and disappeared.
The pain came instantly. Deyin pulled up her skirt and saw that it was not two teeth marks, but just an ordinary snake. But this is in the city, how could there be a snake? Deyin squeezed the blood out of the wound.
The person guarding the door noticed the noise inside and knocked on the door.
Deyin shouted outside the door: "Help me get some more water."
Hearing the tone of voice, the person outside the door pushed the door open and saw Deyin sitting on the ground squeezing his wound.
"Miss, you were bitten by a snake," the guard said and sent someone to tell Yinzhen.
The water came, and Yinzhen came too.
Deyin took the gourd and washed the wound with water. Yinzhen didn't know what he could do, so he sent someone to find a doctor. Fortunately, it was not a snake bite, so he just needed to squeeze out the dirty blood and apply external medicine.
Yinzhen carried Deyin to the bed, lifted her skirt and applied medicine on her. After all, it was a bite wound, and it still hurt when he rubbed it with his hand. The pain after applying the medicine was even worse than before.
"Hiss", Deyin hummed inadvertently due to the pain of the medicine.
"Don't hold it in if it hurts. It will feel better if you let it out." Yinzhen looked at Deyin's flushed face and slowed down his movements.
Yinzhen was worried about leaving Deyin alone in the room, so he thought about staying with her to avoid any accidents.
"Ling An, has anyone entered this room just now?" Yinzhen also felt that this matter was very strange. There shouldn't be snakes here. Could someone have done it on purpose? These thoughts were echoing in Yinzhen's mind.
"Lord Beile, someone just came to deliver some calming incense."
Deyin was asleep at the time and didn't notice any of this.
"Go and find him for me." Yinzhen gave orders to Ling An, and it felt like he was going to capture someone and eat him.
Not long after, the man was found in the kitchen. Unable to bear the threat, he confessed immediately when Yinzhen asked him. He said that someone had just given him 100 taels of silver as a bargaining chip and asked him to do something.
"Go on." Yinzhen's cold tone made the man dare not stop.
"He gave me a poisonous snake and told me to put it in this room. I really don't know anything else." The man was also scared and bowed on the ground repeatedly.
But he had replaced the snake, and he didn't want anyone to die in his inn. He still wanted to do his business well.
Yinzhen thought that he was just obsessed with money and was not the mastermind behind this, so he had him released.
That night, Yinzhen was afraid that something might happen again, so he stayed with Deyin and sat on the chair all night.
The next day, his back and waist ached all day, and he had to hold his waist from time to time even when walking. Thirteen saw that he had made a lot of jokes with his fourth brother in private, so he asked him to be more restrained when meeting Deyin.
Somehow Deyin found out about this and she hid from Yinzhen all day for fear of gossip.
"Thirteen, please be careful about the occasion when you joke next time." Deyin got on the carriage immediately when he saw him. It seemed that he was shy. It was all because Thirteen was so talkative.
Yinxiang always looked happy and cheerful in front of his fourth brother, but in Yinzhen's eyes he deserved a beating.
Last time, after Thirteen and Yinzhen reported Old Eighth in the court, Yin'er felt that this matter might implicate him, so he wrote a letter to Ren Bo'an. However, he did not expect Yinzhen and his men to arrive so soon, so he sent people to delay them, and in a hurry, he came up with the idea of releasing the poisonous snake.
It was only today that we found out that the person who was bitten was Deyin. Not only was Yinzhen fine, his trip was not delayed either.
"You idiot." Yinsi was rarely furious. Laojiu did not expect that his eighth brother would have such a big reaction to this matter. It was just biting a woman, and she was going to marry Yinzhen. What was there to care about?
"If anything happens to her, I will settle with you later." Yinsi said in a bad tone and left Laojiu alone in the room. Laojiu was confused for a moment. Is this woman really that important to him?
Yinzhen wrote to Ren Bo'an to help his brother and asked them to send out the relief money as soon as possible to avoid Yinzhen's investigation. He didn't expect to be scolded by his brother today. He really couldn't understand it.
Yinsi had been indulgent in what he did to the ninth brother before, but this time it really hit his heart, so he had to get angry at Yin'er. Although he and Deyin were no longer possible, he still wanted to protect her from getting hurt.
Yinzhen thought about what happened last night and had a rough idea in his mind. The local officials didn't know the purpose of his visit, so it was impossible for them to do it. They did this to delay him, but unfortunately he and Deyin exchanged rooms last night, so Deyin was bitten in vain. This can only prove that someone in the court was panicking and wanted to buy more time to destroy the evidence.
Yinzhen had long felt that this matter was not that simple and he had to be more cautious along the way.
Deyin was thinking about the Yellow River disaster relief that occurred in the 46th year of Kangxi's reign. The fourth prince Yinzhen intercepted the letter from the ninth prince on the road. Could it be that the venomous ninth prince Yinzhen did it this time? Deyin couldn't think of anyone else, but he was the most suspicious. If the letter fell into Yinzhen's hands, the consequences would be disastrous.
