The day her husband welcomed the time-traveling girl into the house, she woke up

That night.

Lin Qi waited until the end of midnight for the people she sent to bring back Lin Zhi's remains.

She knew how indestructible Li Yunzhi had built Lin Zhi's tomb, so she waited patiently.

But her patience was limited.

When the person she sent out came back empty-handed and knelt before her, she kicked him to the ground in a rage, "Don't tell me that you failed to dig up Lin Zhi's grave?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down! Although your subordinates spent a lot of time and effort, they successfully dug up Lin Zhi's tomb, but it is a cenotaph..."

"A cenotaph?"

"Yes! We had originally intended to bring all those things back to the palace for Her Majesty to review, but the gravekeepers suddenly appeared in large numbers. We were caught off guard and feared causing too much noise, so we retreated."

"..."

And the gravekeeper?

Although the Li family is a large family, their family has been honest and upright for generations. When the deceased are buried, there are basically no valuable burial objects. Why would they arrange for a gravekeeper to guard the ancestral tomb?

Or was it that Li Yunzhi, feeling so guilty and remorseful towards Lin Zhi, specially arranged a gravekeeper for her grave?

But if that's the case, then it shouldn't just be a cenotaph...

Lin Qi was puzzled, but didn't know where to start looking for Lin Zhi's remains, so he could only give up for the time being.

At this time in the Peacock Terrace.

Lin Yuan pinched his brows and prepared to make a cup of strong tea to refresh himself, but before he got up, he heard some movement and immediately became alert.

But the next moment he guessed the identity of the person from the thief-like footsteps.

After putting away his guard, he threw the smallest pestle at hand at the person who came as a hidden weapon.

A few moments later, after a scream, Lin An's aggrieved voice rang out, "Boss, I just came to bring you some tea, there's no need for you to kill me!"

"Why are you being so sneaky while delivering tea?"

"Hey, I just wanted to test whether you are vigilant enough when you are concentrating on researching something."

"Tsk, if I had known earlier I wouldn't have used a pestle and would have gone straight to a mortar."

"Stop it, Boss! You hit me on the head with such a small pestle and it made a bump. If you use a mortar, my head will burst!"

"..."

Lin Yuan turned his head away with great disgust.

Facing Lin'an, who was holding a cup of tea in one hand and rubbing a bump on his forehead with the other, with the pestle he had thrown stuck in his armpit, he almost gritted his teeth and said, "Don't say I taught you this when you're out there!"

"I wasn't afraid of spilling the tea in my hand, so I didn't dare hide! I heard you might have to stay up all night, so I sneaked into Sanniang's room and stole some of her treasured tea to make tea for you!"

After he finished speaking, Lin'an grinned and looked at Lin Yuan with anticipation.

His face is full of "Boss, praise me!"

What he got was a slap from Lin Yuan. "How dare you! You even dared to steal Sanniang's treasured possessions! Did you also sneak into my room and steal while I was away?"

"No! Who dares to enter your room when you're not here? Boss, try this tea! It's said that this tea was given to Sanniang by the master when he was still alive. Sanniang never put too much of it in her cup every time she drank it, and she kept it very carefully. I spent quite a while putting it back to its original state after I took it!"

"..."

Lin Yuan took a deep breath and finally managed to hold back from giving Lin An a few more slaps.

Wait until Sanniang comes back and let her deal with him!

but……

This tea is really good!

It is worthy of being the master’s work!

I'll go back and steal some for the lady to try!

Lin An saw that his expression had softened after he finished his tea. He then looked at the pile of things in front of him and asked quietly, "Boss, I heard that a poison mentioned in the nameless book left by the master has appeared?"

Lin Yuan nodded and didn't want to say more.

After putting down the teacup and sending Lin'an away, he looked at the three pills in the brocade box on the side.

Although he had only studied the medicine for less than an hour before Jingzhe returned the small piece of blood-soaked paper.

But he had already analyzed its components.

Although they have all the ingredients in their building, some of them are medicinal herbs that no other doctors in the world would use except those who have medical skills in their building.

And they used those herbs because they were mentioned in the master's nameless book.

For this reason, he suspected that Xie Yu had some connection with their master, and in the evening he had already written a letter and sent it to Jianzhou.

Because he had realized a long time ago that Sanniang had hidden a lot of things from them about her master!

*

The next day, Li Shu got up very late, which was a rare occurrence for her.

Because she didn't use Lin Yuan's calming incense last night.

She wanted to face her dreams and learn more from them.

However, although she dreamed the whole night as she wished, she entered the dream as a bystander as before, but all the dreams were about things she had dreamed about before.

So although she was very tired when she woke up, she felt much more relaxed than before.

I just feel a little depressed.

Because she couldn't face Ning Jin and the others in her dream calmly.

Then, just after she finished her breakfast, Chi Jianxi came to her bamboo garden with Ning Keyi and twenty or thirty maids and servants holding gifts of thanks.

After the maids and servants put down the things and left, Li Shu looked at those things for a long time without saying a word.

She went to Haitangyuan yesterday because she accepted Chi Jianxi's things and felt she had to take it back.

I didn't expect that I could save Ning Keyi's life.

I never expected to receive so many gifts of thanks again.

Honestly, she didn't need to.

And she didn't really want to accept it.

Sooner or later, she would leave the Dingbei Marquis Mansion.

I don't want to get too involved with the people in Dingbei Marquis' Mansion.

But looking at Chi Jianxi's attitude, it seems that he can't refuse it...

While she was secretly struggling with her thoughts, Chi Jianxi spoke up, "After the Crown Prince's wife left yesterday, my sister arrived immediately, and then the Marquis and others also arrived one after another. Because Keyi vomited too much blood, the Marquis was worried and stayed in our Begonia Courtyard last night. That's why Keyi didn't come to the Crown Prince's wife's place yesterday. Then this morning, after I told the servants to prepare a thank-you gift, I talked to Keyi for a while, and I found that I could talk to her about the things that I couldn't control myself about."

"Really? Then have you ever analyzed why you are like that?"

"Yes, but I haven't come up with a definite answer. It's just that before my mother and I lost control of ourselves for the first time, we both encountered serious incidents that almost cost us our lives.

When I was five years old, I was infected with water sparrow and doctors predicted that I would not live for more than three days. My parents were preparing to arrange my funeral, but I miraculously recovered without any medicine.

When Keyi was eight years old, the Marquis took her out hunting. During the hunt, she got separated from him because of her playfulness and was bitten by a venomous snake. It's said that the situation was extremely critical, and the Marquis was extremely anxious. But when he finally found a doctor with Keyi in his arms, she was already dead. This incident became a little secret between the Marquis and Keyi, and I only learned about it today."

"..."

Li Shu frowned slightly after hearing this.

Can only those who are on the verge of death be controlled by that mysterious power?

But there are so many people dying every year, how does the other party choose the targets to control?

Then she said to Chi Jianxi and her daughter, "From now on, no matter what you do, it's best to keep more people around you, and they must be people you trust, so that things like yesterday won't happen again."

Chi Jianxi nodded vigorously. "I have already made all the arrangements. In order to find out who poisoned Ke Yi, the Marquis has arranged for many guards to guard our Begonia Courtyard. From now on, not even a bee, let alone a butterfly, can fly into our Bamboo Garden!"

Li Shu smiled and was about to say that we in the Bamboo Garden should be on guard against butterflies or something, when she saw Nanny Gui, without even knocking, lift the curtain and come in. "Miss! The Grand Princess has sent someone to pick you up!"

Li Shu was slightly stunned. "Isn't there still a few days until the date she set?"
