When everything went black and he lost consciousness, Xiangyang thought that he hadn't studied the medicine well enough and hadn't felt its effects.

The two tied up Xiangyang first because she had run away and was now outside, afraid of being discovered. So they didn't notice Du Mingxian standing behind them at all.

Du Mingxian took two steps forward and knocked the two unconscious with a single blow. Then she went to untie Xiangyang's ropes. Just as she was about to check on the others, she discovered that... all the people the Crown Prince had given her were standing at the door.

The group's eyes met, and Du Mingxian was quite surprised, "There's no Chinese medicine in this."

Chunfeng stepped forward to help Du Mingxian while explaining, "We servants have been trained since childhood, so we can naturally smell such low-grade medicine at a glance. However, since Xiangyang cooked the meal, we don't know why she did it this way."

"We all eat from the same pot, so we pretended to be unconscious to see what was going on."

"So, regular medications don't work for you?"

"That's right," Chunfeng said with certainty.

Du Mingxian was overjoyed. This meant that the people the Crown Prince had given her were very useful, and there was even more to come.

"Alright, tie them both up and interrogate them directly. Judging from how familiar they are with this, this is probably not their first time. And their fearless attitude suggests they have something to rely on. Let's get as much information out of them as possible."

"Yes."

The men dragged the shopkeeper and the waiter away for questioning. Putting aside everything else, they were all experts at interrogating people.

The results of the investigation came out quickly.

"what happened?"

Xia Yu's expression was not good, but when Du Mingxian asked, she still explained seriously, "Madam... they were instructed by someone to kill us. They have portraits of Madam and Master, and the person who bribed them said that if we killed us, they would receive a reward of one thousand taels of silver, so the two of them did it."

"The shopkeeper is a businessman after all. Isn't he afraid that after something like this happens, he won't continue doing business?"

"The innkeepers are not the owners. They are very happy because they think they can get a lot of money this time. After they get the money, they can leave the inn directly. Then, whatever happens at the inn or someone comes looking for them will have nothing to do with them."

Du Mingxian laughed in anger, "They're dreaming. But it's strange that they can bribe them, yet they still want to kill both of us."

After thinking for a while, Du Mingxian turned to look at Ling Silang. Ling Silang dismissed his servants and then said, "We will find out. It's too strange that these two have our portraits. Who do you think they look like?"

“In the capital, I only have two enemies: Cheng Yu and Wen Shiyan. These two can barely be considered enemies. But Cheng Yu is currently imprisoned by my father and certainly wouldn’t dare to help with such a thing. As for Wen Shiyan, there’s even less reason to care.”

"I feel like they're people sent by the Ming King. If we die, then everything we own will belong to someone else. They can just randomly assign someone to be an official in the Ming King's territory. As long as he doesn't say the other person is fake, then that person is real. That's a brilliant move."
