Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

Chapter 33 The Prime Minister's Early Death

Afterwards, General Nan asked Zhiqiao and Zhixiao to go to the nanny to learn some basic etiquette of serving people and knowledge about the rear quarters.

After Nan Wu left, the grandfather and grandson discussed how to deal with the letter.

Finally, the grandfather and grandson unanimously decided to hold off for now and wait for Nan Xi to return home before finding a chance to destroy it.

After other matters were almost discussed, Nan Xi took out a small porcelain bottle and handed it to General Nan.

General Nan took it suspiciously and opened it. There was a pill inside. It was green and emitted a refreshing fragrance. It was obviously a rare and good thing.

"This is……"

"This is a pill that can detoxify and strengthen the body. It was given to me by a wandering monk I met by chance when I went to Qingjing Temple to burn incense." Nan Xi had no choice but to start making up another story.

"He looked at my complexion and said I was poisoned, so he gave me some. I tried it and it worked wonders, so I saved one for my grandfather."

"What? Nannan, you've been poisoned?!" General Nan was shocked. "No wonder you look so pale. It seems these antidote pills aren't reliable either. Would you like Grandfather to ask the court doctor to take your pulse first?"

"Or call the imperial physician..."

As he spoke, his voice became softer.

I think there are only a few people who can poison my granddaughter. Calling the imperial physician is like walking into a tiger's mouth.

Sure enough, Nan Xi smiled bitterly and said, "Grandfather, my poison has been cured. I only looked like I was wearing makeup. Otherwise, how could anyone let me go?"

"Looking at Grandfather's expression, it's the same as mine before. I think he's been ambushed. Grandfather, why don't you take this pill and see what happens next?"

Nan Xi used her Wood-type ability to examine the general's body shortly after they met, confirming that he too was infected with the poison, though it was a different, chronic poison than her own.

This poison won't kill you instantly, it will only weaken you gradually. Fortunately, General Nan had a good foundation and the person who poisoned him used a small dose, so General Nan never felt any noticeable effects.

But in fact, if this continued for a long time, the body would be hollowed out. No wonder General Nan died soon after the emperor's thirty lashes in his previous life.

At this time, General Nan heard Nan Xi's words and swallowed the pill without hesitation.

In fact, he was aware of his physical discomfort, but the court doctor could not diagnose it. Over time, he simply thought it was caused by old age.

But as soon as the pill entered his stomach, the old general instantly felt a change in his body, and then he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.

The old general's face flushed red, and he covered his stomach with his hands:

"Oh no, Nannan, please sit down. I, an old man, have to go to the toilet first!"

Then he quickly retreated to the inner room.

Nan Xi smiled secretly.

She actually asked Jiujiujiu to secretly give the old man a health-enhancing pill, but the effect of the health-enhancing pill was too magical to explain, so she simply attributed it to the detoxification pill.

The old man was old, and his body was full of impurities and toxins, as well as old hidden injuries. The power of these two pills taken together could not be underestimated.

Nan Xi rested for a long time before General Nan returned with a laugh.

Nan Xi saw the guy and changed all his clothes.

The old general had a cheerful look on his face, his back was straight, and his whole body was filled with joy.

"My dear, this pill is amazing!"

General Nan was so excited that he accidentally uttered a curse word. Then he slapped himself lightly on the mouth.

"Hahaha, grandpa, I am happy, don't blame me, daughter. I feel like I can lift a knife again."

Nan Xi also chuckled when she heard this.

"Grandfather, what are you talking about? You are my support. As long as you are healthy, it will be my greatest blessing."

She wants to fulfill the original owner's wish and take control of the Nan family army. Of course, her grandfather must be healthy and live a long life.

Otherwise, her identity as the young master would not be made public for a while, and the Nan family army would be reduced to pieces sooner or later.

Besides, the old man treats her well, and she has always been grateful, so of course she wants to keep the old man safe and healthy.

"My dear, that wandering monk is truly a god. Did he leave behind his Dharma name? We must repay him well in the future."

"Grandfather, don't worry, your granddaughter donated a large sum of money to him at that time."

"And this monk said that he was rescued by the Nan Family Army when he was wandering on the border, so he came here to repay them. It's a pity that he refused to leave his Dharma name behind."

"Oh, that's how it is!"

General Nan felt a little regretful, but then he realized that it was already a miracle that his granddaughter had received the medicine from the divine monk, and that he shouldn't expect anything else. He immediately became happy again.

Through this incident, the old general also realized that he needed to re-screen the people in his mansion. He was able to be poisoned quietly, so someone close to him must have betrayed him.

Not to mention that the grandfather and grandson started to get busy in the house.

Zhao Wenxuan woke up in the guest room and found that it was already dark outside.

Nan Xi was already waiting in the house.

Seeing that Zhao Wenxuan had woken up, he dropped the book in his hand and urged him to go back with him.

When she entered the room just now, she had already wiped off the traces of the letter and quietly stuffed it back into Zhao Wenxuan's pocket.

Zhao Wenxuan had just woken up, his mind a bit fuzzy. It was just a minor injury, and he didn't know how he had slept for so long.

Suddenly he remembered the purpose of his trip, and immediately covered his face with his sleeves. He secretly pressed his chest with his hand and found that the secret letter was still there. He then breathed a sigh of relief.

I couldn't help but feel scared: I was too careless. If this letter was discovered while I was asleep, I'm afraid my head would be flying off right now.

Fortunately, fortunately the stupid woman and that dead old man never doubted me.

It seems that it is impossible to put this letter into the dead old man's study today. I can only do it next time.

Right now, he just wanted to escape from this place that almost cost him his head.

Out of fear, he didn't care about his hungry stomach growling, and followed Nan Xi back to the house.

The carriage for the return trip had already been replaced, and the driver was also changed to a member of the Nan family.

Nan Xi said calmly to Zhi Qiao and Zhi Xiao who suddenly appeared in the carriage:

"Dongmei was taken in by my husband, and many people were kicked out of my courtyard yesterday, so my grandfather rewarded me with two more maids."

The two maids saluted Zhao Wenxuan.

Seeing that the two were ordinary, Zhao Wenxuan didn't care much.

He was reviewing what had happened in the past few days in his mind.

He felt that General Nan treated him well when he came, and although he didn't see him when he left, the carriage was still loaded with many gifts. So this pair of grandparents and grandchildren should not be aware of the current situation at all.

Then everything can proceed as planned.

Thinking of this, he touched the letter in his arms and looked at Nan Xi's pale but increasingly beautiful face reluctantly.

Nan Xi pretended to be oblivious to his disgusting gaze.
