Chapter 5 Catching the Spy
All this was different from what Zhai Lou had imagined.
But he was still very happy.
He came back with a different identity and was qualified to compete with them.
…
"Are you saying that Zhai Lou is the new king of Dali Kingdom?"
Nangong Hua's face didn't look good.
Is this guy going to come back to bother the lady again?
"Yeah." Pu Qiongzhi also had a dull expression.
Suddenly, she frowned and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Qiongzhi!" Nangong Hua's expression changed drastically and his eyes fell on her bowl.
Pu Qiongzhi's body fell straight down, and Nangong Hua hurried forward to stop her.
"Yan'er, go to the palace and ask for the imperial physician! Qingxu, go ask for the doctor!"
"Chun Jing, you and I stay here. I'm afraid the mantis is catching the cicada while the oriole is behind..."
"Third and fourth brothers, Jiayu, the three of you go to the back kitchen to check."
Nangong Xue and Nangong Yue nodded.
Nangong Jiayu watched Pu Qiongzhi fall down, and was so worried that she couldn't move.
"Aunt..." He heard his uncle's request, stood up and looked at Pu Qiongzhi worriedly.
"You must take good care of your aunt!"
After saying that, he quickly followed his third and fourth uncles who were leaving.
The doctor arrived quickly and after searching for a while, he discovered that the lady had been poisoned.
But when he looked at the people in front of him, he seemed to be really worried about this person.
"Madam... I'm afraid it's not a good situation..." He was cautious and tried to test the waters first.
Unexpectedly, their reactions were very natural.
"Doctor, what should I do? Medication? Or something else?"
"..."The doctor looked at the expressions of the few people and really couldn't see anything.
Thinking of what the housekeeper had told him when he entered the room just now, his heart skipped a beat.
"Please come this way, imperial physician!" Yan'er brought the imperial physician back at the right time.
When the doctor saw that all the imperial physicians from the palace had arrived, he thought he would first see what this one had to say.
He had heard that wealthy families had many secrets, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
It would be better to see how this imperial physician responds.
"Poisoned! Are you trying to poison Mr. Wen Shushuo?" Doctor Jin glanced at the people standing beside him.
Nangong Hua jumped up and asked, "Is this poison serious?"
"It's not serious, but it's not simple either." Doctor Jin said, his eyes falling on the doctor beside him, "Did you poison me?"
"No! How is that possible? I am just a hired doctor."
Doctor Jin looked him up and down, "Then why didn't you give her medicine?"
After he finished speaking, he began to give Pu Qiongzhi acupuncture.
The doctor was speechless.
He couldn't say that he was wary of the family's connections and was afraid of getting into trouble.
"The patient takes the medicine for a short time, first induces vomiting, then detoxifies."
Doctor Jin performed acupuncture and then wrote a prescription and handed it to Nangong Hua, "Uncle? Go and boil the medicine."
"Okay." Nangong Hua looked at the spring scenery beside him.
Chunjing nodded and stayed by Pu Qiongzhi's side without leaving.
"Go and bring the spittoon over here!" Doctor Jin pointed at the doctor beside him.
The doctor was stunned for a moment and had to do as he asked.
Anyway, he couldn't afford to offend anyone, so he might as well do odd jobs.
Soon, Pu Qiongzhi began to vomit.
After he vomited everything out, Doctor Jin heated up the soup they had prepared.
"Here, drink this first." He handed over the medicine.
Pu Qiongzhi finished her drink and then asked, "What's wrong with me?"
"Madam, you have been poisoned." Chunjing told the truth.
When Nangong Jiayu and others heard that she had woken up, they all came over to check on the situation.
"The person who poisoned... has been caught." Nangong Xue hesitated to speak.
Nangong Jiayu just served Pu Qiongzhi medicine and avoided Nangong Hua's sight.
Nangong Yue on the side was observing the medicinal materials and Pu Qiongzhi's expression.
"Who is it? Tell me!" Nangong Hua urged.
Pu Qiongzhi wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief and said quietly, "Is it Uncle Yang?"
"?" Nangong Hua glanced at her and then looked at the younger ones.
Nangong Yue nodded, "Yes. Third brother said there was a misunderstanding, but I think it was him!"
"Uncle Yang is a good man, but why did he poison my aunt?" Nangong Jiayu couldn't understand.
Nangong Xue came out to mediate, "Perhaps Uncle Yang also has his own reasons."
"Uncle Yang has always been loyal to our Nangong family. How could he attack my sister-in-law?"
Nangong Hua's memory jumped to his previous life.
In his previous life... he was not good at managing the mansion, and Uncle Yang took care of it all by himself and never made any mistakes.
In my memory, Uncle Yang never had any grudge against him.
However, he had been so negligent about the mansion in his previous life that he couldn't really say what it was like.
Uncle Yang is his father's man, so logically speaking, he shouldn't...
Pu Qiongzhi lowered her eyes and waited for him to think it through.
"Bring Uncle Yang up." Nangong Hua finally gave the order.
He decided to ask him face to face.
When Uncle Yang was brought up, he was already in tears.
"Uncle Yang, what have I done to make you unhappy? Why do you want to get rid of me like this?" Pu Qiongzhi asked first.
"The Madam is naturally very good, but compared to the Master, this old servant can only attack the Madam."
Nangong Hua frowned, "Uncle Yang, did you really betray the Gongning Marquis' Mansion?"
"Uncle Yang? How is this possible! Who is behind you? Did they threaten you?" Nangong Xue didn't dare to accept this fact.
Nangong Jiayu lowered her head and refused to speak for a long time.
He couldn't forgive Uncle Yang for trying to poison his aunt, but he also couldn't bear to be cruel to this kind elder.
"Is the person behind you the Ninth Prince?" Pu Qiongzhi asked.
Uncle Yang was startled and lowered his head, "Yes."
"Uncle Yang!" Nangong Xue stood up suddenly. "A man like the Ninth Prince has killed so many people! How could you..."
"Third Master, I was originally a servant of the late Concubine Shu. The Concubine Shu was very kind to my family, and the Ninth Prince was my little master..." Uncle Yang then spoke of the long-forgotten past.
It turned out that he was originally a servant in the family of the Ninth Prince's biological mother, Concubine Shu.
When the emperor dealt with Concubine Shu's mother's family, he no longer worked in Concubine Shu's house. It was also thanks to Concubine Shu's help that he was able to work in the Marquis Gongning's Mansion.
"The old Marquis and the uncle have been extremely kind to me, and I know that."
"I don't know why the Ninth Prince wants to kill you, my Lord. On the one hand, there's the young master I swore to serve my whole life, and on the other hand, there's my Lord, whom I watched grow up... I have no choice..."
"So, you want to kill the madam? And cause chaos in the mansion?" Nangong Hua took over.
Here we go again! It's like this again!
Gongsun Huaili always has so many opportunities for no apparent reason!
"You don't know why the Ninth Prince wanted to kill me, so he attacked my wife. But do you know that the Ninth Prince also attacked Yu Ge'er?"
Nangong Hua didn't want to say that the Ninth Prince did it for his wife's sake, but he couldn't tolerate anyone laying a hand on his wife!
"Now that things have come to this, I can no longer keep you here! Debts must be paid, and murder must be punished!"
When he said this, Uncle Yang just felt relieved.
