Zener replied with a smile, "The boy is clumsy, I have to teach him how to arrange the dish!"
Zhan Yan didn't insist anymore and let her go.
Zener came to the inn kitchen and secretly called in the maid who was protecting him.
She whispered, "Did you hear what Zhan Yihou said just now? He said he found the only bloodline of the Qiu family!"
The maid said solemnly, "Yes, I heard it. It would be great if we could find out who it was. That way, the master wouldn't have to force Feng Qian to make that portrait!"
Zen'er lowered his eyes and murmured, "This is a great achievement. We must think of a way to make Marquis Zhan Yi tell the truth!"
The maid's eyes lit up: "What if I give him a drug to knock him unconscious, and then carefully extract information from him?"
Zener asked hesitantly, "Can you figure it out?"
The maid didn't hesitate and put a packet of medicine powder into the prepared vegetarian meal.
Without even looking up, she said, "Whether we can get it out or not, we have to try anyway. It's too urgent to report to the master at this time!"
Chaner also agreed with this. Zhan Yan would not stay for long and would definitely leave again.
Who knows what might happen by then!
She immediately walked into the house with the vegetarian meal, a flattering smile on her pretty face.
When Zhan Yan saw her come in, he subconsciously asked, "Are you healed?"
Chan'er immediately denied: "Not yet, but serving vegetarian food to the Marquis is not difficult!"
She put down the tray and placed the fragrant bamboo shoot soup in front of him.
She said gently, "This bamboo shoot soup is delicious. My Lord, please try it first!"
Zhan Yan just nodded without making any move.
Zener understood very well that this was a lack of trust in her.
She immediately followed suit and filled a bowl, saying, "Zhen'er has been learning to cook vegetarian food from his master since he was young, and now his food is very delicious. It would be a shame if the Marquis didn't try it!"
After saying that, he drank it first.
Zhan Yan then spoke: "It's time for this prince to try it!"
After drinking half a bowl, he refused to drink any more.
Zener couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. The drug used by the maid was extremely effective. Not to mention drinking half a bowl, even a mouthful would make him faint.
Sure enough, after a while, something was wrong with Zhan Yan.
He rubbed his forehead tiredly and asked, "Why am I suddenly sleepy? What did you put in the soup?"
Chan'er immediately argued, "My Lord, please don't wrongly accuse me. Didn't I drink just now? Are you tired and sleepy?"
Zhan Yan rubbed his brows vigorously and said, "That's also possible. Last night, in order to search for the bloodline of the Qiu family, I didn't sleep a wink!"
Zener quickly stepped forward and grabbed his arm firmly: "Go to the couch and rest for a while, I don't mind you!"
Zhan Yan thought to himself, I really despise you!
But on the surface, he just lay down on the table, and no matter how hard Zener tried, he couldn't pull him up.
Finally, she complained angrily, "Will you die if I let you lie on my bed? I'm so beautiful, why can't I catch your eye?"
The maid came in and reminded him, "Young lady, now is not the time to act on emotion. Hurry up and ask him who that child is and where he is being held!"
Zener slapped his forehead and said, "I almost forgot something important!"
She immediately leaned over to Zhan Yan's ear and called out, "My Lord, My Lord!"
Zhan Yan dazedly responded, "Hmm?"
He was originally asleep, and when he responded to her call, his voice was a little hoarse, which made her heart pound.
He, he is so charming!
The maid noticed that she was not in the right state and immediately scolded her: "Are you sure you want to be so crazy at this time? If you delay the master's important business, you will not be forgiven!"
Zener quickly collected his thoughts and said, "Shut up. I didn't say I wouldn't ask. Why are you so anxious?"
After she finished speaking, she pushed Zhan Yan again and said, "My Lord, Prince Li sent me to ask where the bloodline of the Qiu family is being held and what his identity is."
Even though Zhan Yan was asleep, he was still alert. He muttered incoherently, "It's a secret. No one can tell it, not even my father!"
Chan'er was immediately extremely anxious. She gritted her teeth and said, "My Lord, if you don't tell me, Prince Li will send your wife to question you. Are you sure you want her to make the trip?"
Zhan Yan felt sorry for Lin Yiwan. She was still in confinement after giving birth, so how could she run around in the wind?
He immediately replied, "In the lowest dungeon of the Imperial Palace's Zhaoyu Prison, he is the fifth son of the Gu family, named Gu Yuan!"
Zener covered his mouth tightly and dragged the maid out forcefully.
When the two of them came outside, she urged: "Go and tell the master to rescue Young Master Qiu as soon as possible!"
The maid stared at her with a frown: "What about you?"
Zen'er curled his lips and sneered, "Such a good opportunity, how can I not take advantage of it? I want to make it a done deal with him and see how he can keep me in the inn!"
The maid knew that the news was important, so she didn't dare to stay any longer and immediately turned around and left quickly.
After her figure disappeared, Chaner turned around and went into the house.
At this time, Zhan Yan was still leaning on the table, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep again.
Chan'er immediately opened his clothes, walked anxiously to Zhan Yan's side, stretched out his hand to pull him up and said, "My Lord, let's go to sleep on the couch!"
She thought that the sleeping Zhan Yan would follow her, but unexpectedly, he suddenly pushed her away with great force.
"Bang!" She fell to the ground and felt that all her internal organs were displaced.
She widened her eyes in disbelief, only to see that Zhan Yan's eyes were clear, and there was no trace of the Chinese medicine look he had just had.
She subconsciously asked: "You, are you pretending?"
Zhan Yan replied nonchalantly, "Yes, if I don't pretend, how can I find out if the Buddhist woman who saved my life is not sincere?"
Zener quickly realized that since he was pretending, the information he just revealed must be false!
No, we must escape quickly!
Without saying a word, she immediately jumped out of the window and left.
But several secret guards outside clamped her down and stuffed something into her mouth.
Chan'er was knocked unconscious and stuffed into the carriage. On the other side, after receiving the news from the maid, Old Qiu Jiang immediately found Chen Siyuan to discuss countermeasures.
Chen Siyuan stared at him with a frown: "Are you sure the news Chan'er got is true?"
Qiu Jiang Lao narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you suspect Zhan Yan is setting a trap for us?"
Chen Siyuan nodded. "Zhan Yan is as cunning as a fox. Otherwise, Emperor Sheng An wouldn't trust him so much. Perhaps he's using Chan'er as bait to lure us and wipe out the Qiu family!"
Elder Qiu Jiang turned to look at the guards beside him and asked, "Did Feng Qian finish making the portrait?"
The guard immediately replied, "It's drawn. The Second Commander used his apprentice's innocence as a threat, and he surrendered obediently!"
Qiu Jiang urged: "Then what are you still standing there for? Hurry and get the portrait!"
Soon, the guards presented the portrait to the two men.
