After lunch, Jiang Tunan walked with Xiao Huaimin for a while. Seeing his worried look, Jiang Tunan couldn't help but ask,

"Uncle is worried?"

Xiao Huaimin sighed heavily.

"It's not a serious matter, but I always feel a little uneasy."

Hearing this, Jiang Tunan did not continue to ask questions, and quietly accompanied Xiao Huaimin. Xiao Huaimin suddenly smiled and said,

"I wish I had a daughter like you. They say a daughter is a warm and caring person. Now I really understand."

Jiang Tunan said with a playful smile,

“Didn’t Uncle Xiao raise me as his daughter?”

Xiao Huaimin clapped his hands and laughed, nodding at Jiang Tunan.

"You are such a weird girl."

"grown ups!"

The housekeeper of the Xiao Mansion came hurriedly and whispered a few words into Xiao Huaimin's ear. Xiao Huaimin was shocked when he heard it.

"What! Doctor Wen has passed away!"

Doctor Wen? Jiang Tunan seemed to have heard this name somewhere before.

"Uncle, is this Doctor Wen important to you?"

There was an inextricable sadness between Xiao Huaimin's brows.

"The eldest prince of Dayin Kingdom, Liangchuan Zemu, came to Daxing to seek medical treatment for a strange disease some time ago. However, all the doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau have examined him, but no one can find out what disease he has. Perhaps only Doctor Wen can find a solution."

Jiang Tunan didn't understand.

"Since he is a prince of another country, it cannot be blamed on us even if he cannot be cured."

Xiao Huaimin shook his head.

"I have a precious sword in Daxing that is still in the hands of Dayin. This treatment is a chance to get the sword back. If you miss this opportunity, it may be difficult to get it back in the future."

It seems that the eldest prince's disease must be cured. Jiang Tunan suddenly remembered the strange dream he had before, in which he said that the eldest prince died in Daxing and died of poisoning.

Jiang Tunan had an absurd guess in his mind.

"Uncle, if the eldest prince really died in Daxing, would Daxing and Dayin go to war?"

Liangchuan Zemu's illness was not caused by Daxing. Even if he died in Daxing, Dayin could not be blamed. Xiao Huaimin thought Jiang Tunan was worrying too much at first, but Jiang Tunan then said,

"I mean, what if, what if, Dayin was prepared to give up this prince from the beginning as an excuse to go to war with Daxing?"

Xiao Huaimin was shocked. Daxing was able to resist Dayin's poison because of the antidote provided by the genius doctor Wen Zhao. If Dayin wanted to make a comeback again, the first person he had to deal with was Wen Zhao.

They used a seriously ill prince to lead to the whereabouts of Doctor Wen, but now that Doctor Wen is dead, Dayin will only become more unscrupulous. I am afraid that Dayin will develop a new poison by then, and how will the Daxing soldiers resist?

The more Xiao Huaimin thought about it, the more frightened he became. He said to Jiang Tunan anxiously,

"Nannan, uncle has something to do and needs to go out now."

Xiao Huaimin asked someone to prepare the carriage and quickly changed into official uniform to prepare to enter the palace. Maybe he was really overthinking it, but even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, he had to be fully prepared to deal with it.

Jiang Tunan looked at Xiao Huaimin's receding back and fell into deep thought. The cause of Liangchuan Zemu's death might not be so simple. In the dream, it was said that he was poisoned to death. Could it be that Dayin himself did it?

Oh, that's right, Taro Sakai!

What I overheard before was that Taro Sakai seemed to be ordered by the third prince to poison the eldest prince, and then frame the Meng family.

Or should I go and remind Meng Jingchen myself?

Regardless of whether Meng Jingchen is a good person or a bad person, we are all from Daxing, and we must always stand united against the outside world at this time.

"Chunhua, leave the house!"

After Jiang Tunan made up his mind, he and Chunhua prepared a little and went out. The Meng Mansion and the Xiao Mansion were still some distance away, so Jiang Tunan rented a carriage to go there.

Jiang Tunan didn't feel bad. She would get the money she spent on Meng Jingchen back someday. No, she would get it back.

"Miss, what if Mr. Meng is not at home?"

Jiang Tunan smiled evilly and said mysteriously,

"I have an idea."

On the other side, Meng Jingchen was walking in the garden at home, while his guard Ziwen was reporting on the recent movements of some aristocratic families in Kyoto and the daily lives of the Liangchuan brothers. In an instant, something cut through the air and came towards him. Meng Jingchen looked sharp and reached out to catch it, but found that it was just a ball of paper.

"Sir, this..."

Meng Jingchen just gave Ziwen a look, and Ziwen understood what Meng Jingchen meant. He used his lightness skills to fly to the roof to find where the paper ball came from.

After Ziwen left, Meng Jingchen hesitated for a long time but finally opened the paper ball. The handwriting on it was elegant and simple, and it read: Be careful of Taro Sakai, Zemu died and the war began.

At the same time, Ziwen also saw Jiang Tunan outside the wall on the eaves, crumpling paper balls with her maid.

"Chunhua, are you sure this is Meng Jingchen's yard?"

Jiang Tunan asked as he crumpled the paper balls. There was a small bamboo basket next to him, filled with crumpled paper balls. Chunhua nodded and replied,

"Don't worry, young lady. I have already found out clearly that Master Meng lives in this area. He likes quietness, so he lives in a remote place."

Ziwen on the wall: What a remote place to live, they were thrown into the garden.

Ziwen returned to Meng Jingchen with a complicated expression and told him everything he saw. Meng Jingchen's mouth curled up slightly.

"I heard that Miss Jiang was kidnapped a few days ago. The suspect is now being held in the county government office. It seems to be related to Sakai Taro. It seems that Miss Jiang really heard something incredible that day, otherwise why would Sakai Taro go to such great lengths to take Jiang Tunan's life."

"Sir, what about Miss Jiang..."

"Don't worry about her. Let her continue. Just don't let other people in the house see these paper balls."

Ziwen lowered his head and accepted the order, but in a moment another paper ball flew towards Meng Jingchen. Meng Jingchen didn't care. The paper ball rolled on the ground several times and rolled to Meng Jingchen's feet.

"interesting."

Meng Jingchen's face was full of interest, and then another paper ball was thrown in.

"She thinks I'm too stupid. Is it necessary to throw so many paper balls?"

Meng Jingchen raised his foot to leave when he suddenly heard the sound of breaking air.

Meng Jingchen: Girl, don't love me too much, you really are. (holding his forehead and smiling bitterly)

"Sir, be careful!"

Meng Jingchen:?

A blanket of paper balls fell from the sky, and coincidentally all landed on Meng Jingchen, who had a tattered bamboo basket on his head.

"Jiang, Tu, Nan!"

Meng Jingchen gnashed his teeth at this moment, and Jiang Tunan sneezed for no reason outside the wall. Jiang Tunan patted the dust off his hands and said to Chunhua,

"It's too troublesome to throw them away one by one. It's easier to throw them away all at once."

"Oh no, miss! I threw the basket in there too!"

"Hurry up and go."

Jiang Tunan immediately pulled Chunhua away. It was somewhat immoral to litter outside someone else's house, so it was better to leave immediately. As they walked, he said,

"Luckily we found the basket on the roadside and didn't spend much money on it, otherwise we would have suffered a huge loss."

Chunhua nodded seriously. Who said it wasn't true? It would be so annoying to do a good deed and tip off someone and still get into trouble.
