The imperial concubine is nine and a half years old, and she is willing to overturn the table and re

"Uncle and uncle!"

Yan Guanqing was helping to sort out the dowry boxes sent by the Xie family when he suddenly heard cheerful chirping sounds behind him.

He turned around and saw a bright little butterfly bouncing towards him.

There was no fear or gloom in those big eyes, only natural optimism and joy.

Yan Guanqing couldn't help but chuckle.

It’s really hard not to like such a lovely child.

He stood there and watched Xie Yuantang and his eldest nephew walking towards him.

Xie Yuantang walked in front with fearless steps.

The eldest nephew was a little silly, so she pulled his sleeve and made him follow closely beside her.

The two of them probably hadn't changed their clothes or washed up yet, and traces of last night's mess could still be vaguely seen on their bodies, but they were still fine.

Yan Guanqing couldn't help but think that this was probably the first time Situ Yan had fallen ill, but he was able to recover without any cost.

"Uncle, uncle, when did you come? Have you eaten? You must not have eaten? Tangtang is so hungry too~"

While Yan Guanqing was still distracted, Xie Yuantang had already run up to him, talking non-stop.

"Well, I didn't eat. You guys..."

Yan Guanqing answered subconsciously, but he had barely said half of his words when he lowered his head and saw the little girl's eyes fixed on the dowry. He was afraid that she had just said those words without even thinking!

"Little girl, I see you're about to fall in, and you still care whether your uncle has eaten or not?"

Yan Guanqing was speechless, he raised his hand and tapped her lightly on the top of the head.

Who knew that he would be pulled away by Situ Yan the next second.

"Don't hit my lady's head, or she won't grow taller!"

After a pause, he leaned forward, bent his body, and put his head in front of Yan Guanqing: "You can hit me, I have grown very tall, I am not afraid of being hit."

The tall body was bent respectfully and obediently, revealing the messy and uncombed black hair.

Yan Guanqing looked down at his nephew, and his heart softened suddenly when he thought about the life-and-death crisis he had just experienced last night.

She raised her hand and gently touched his hair, using her fingers as comb teeth to help him smooth it out, and sighed softly, "Uncle won't knock on anyone anymore."

Situ Yan sat up and looked at him in confusion, not understanding the emotions in his eyes, and was soon pulled away by Xie Yuantang to count the money.

Yan Guanqing smiled and said, "I've already checked the account for you. It's all here, not a penny is missing."

"Great!"

Xie Yuantang looked at the boxes and cages that filled up half of the yard with excitement, his face flushed with excitement: "I will be a rich man in the future!"

Seeing the two people's happy faces, Yan Guanqing shook his head, walked into the hall, drank tea and waited for them to play.

After a while, Situ Yan was still outside, and Xie Yuantang came in by himself.

"Uncle, there are no rumors about what happened last night, right?"

Yan Guanqing raised his eyebrows. He knew that the little girl was smart.

"There weren't any rumors, but many people knew about it. Even the emperor was alarmed."

After a pause, Yan Guanqing said, "Before I came, the emperor said he would come over this afternoon when he is free. You guys go and clean up later. Don't be so dirty that you look like a little beggar."

"Father is coming..."

Xie Yuantang frowned slightly: "Then I can only talk about the important things in a short time."

"Uncle, do you know what triggers my husband's illness every time?"

Yan Guanqing paused for a moment as he held the teacup. "The trigger? Isn't it because he's been poisoned so deeply that he'll have attacks from time to time?"

Xie Yuantang shook his head: "His poison has been temporarily controlled. Normally, he won't suddenly break out. But he was fine at the beginning yesterday. We were all eating together. Suddenly, he seemed to be out of control."

Yan Guanqing's brows sank slightly.

"In the past, I always arrived after he fell ill, and coupled with the words of the imperial physician... I never thought that there was a trigger for his illness."

He looked at Xie Yuantang: "Since he got sick while eating, was the food poisonous?"

Xie Yuantang shook his head: "Although other people helped prepare the ingredients last night, the ones who actually put them into the pot and fished them out were Hongqiu and Yan Feng, so there is no way they could be poisonous."

"Even if it's poisonous, we all sit together to eat, how can we guarantee that it's my husband who is poisoned?"

There was one more thing she didn't say. She knew exactly how many kinds of poisons were in Situ Yan's body. If he had been poisoned by a new poison, she would have discovered it long ago.

"It's not the food that's poisonous, nor is it the tableware..."

Yan Guanqing pondered and said, "Then it can only be a medium that is imperceptible to humans."

Can't notice?

Xie Yuantang suddenly froze.

She hadn't thought of it at first, but when Yan Guanqing said it, she suddenly had an idea.

"There is something!" Xie Yuantang's eyes flashed darkly, "It's colorless. Others won't feel anything strange, but my husband is very likely to be affected."

Yan Guanqing frowned slightly.

The two looked at each other and said in unison: "Air!"

Xie Yuantang's face was solemn, and he said calmly: "It was windy last night, and the smell of hot pot was particularly obvious. In addition, there were also sachets, or other smells or powders that everyone wore."

Yan Guanqing: "According to this analysis, among the several princes and princesses present last night, plus the followers in the courtyard, one of them must have murdered Yan'er."

Xie Yuantang nodded, pursed his lips and said: "But even if we know this is the case, it will be very troublesome to investigate."

Counting the master's followers, there were at least 20 to 30 people present last night. If it was something like a sachet or medicine powder, it could be thrown away at any time, making it even more difficult to identify the murderer.

"Don't worry, at least we have a range." Yan Guanqing comforted her, "Just leave this matter to uncle."

Xie Yuantang responded, and was about to talk to him about the medicine again when he saw Yan Feng running in and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor is here!"

Xie Yuantang and Yan Guanqing looked at each other and hurried out to welcome the emperor.

When I arrived at the yard, I found that Situ Qing was already chatting with Situ Yan.

"Are you ok?"

"It's okay."

"How about letting the imperial physician take a look at you?"

"No."

End of topic.

Situ Qing rubbed his temples with a headache, turned to look at Xie Yuantang, and asked, "How is Yuantang?"

"I'm fine!"

Xie Yuantang came over with a bright smile and said, "Don't worry, father. My husband is fine. He made a fuss for a while last night and then fell asleep. He will be fine after waking up."

Situ Qing looked at his silly son who was the same as always. Like Yan Guanqing, as long as Situ Yan was still alive, it was the greatest comfort to them.

Of course, it would be even better if he could stay alive and well.

Situ Qing raised his hand, patted his son's strong shoulders, and said with relief: "Okay, it's good that you're okay. It seems that Yuan Tang is really your little lucky star!"

This time Situ Yan nodded seriously: "Of course my lady is!"

"Haha! You are not trying to please me!"

Situ Yan wrinkled his nose and dodged the hand that was patting his shoulder: "Father, please stop patting me so often, it will make my shoulders uneven!"

Situ Qing: “…”

Yan Guanqing: “…”

The two elders looked at Xie Yuantang at the same time, their eyes clear.

Little girl, what kind of nonsense do you usually teach?

Xie Yuantang blinked innocently.

Situ Qing didn't stay for too long. It was not suitable for him to leave the palace all the time. He made this trip today because he was worried about Situ Yan. When he saw that he was fine, he asked a few questions and then left with Yan Guanqing.

Before leaving, Yan Guanqing found an opportunity to whisper to Xie Yuantang: "You don't have to worry about the Yu family. Concubine Yu won't bother you again."

Xie Yuantang smiled and nodded, secretly giving his uncle a thumbs up!

After leaving the Prince's Mansion, Situ Qing asked, "Have you told her about the Leng family?"

Yan Guanqing was startled, then smiled and said, "I actually forgot about it. Well, let's leave her a surprise."

Xie Yuantang didn't hear all this. She was looking warily at the man who suddenly appeared.
