Chapter 673 675. Poisoned
"But today's mushrooms are all carefully selected." Lichun's face suddenly changed, "It's impossible for the cook here to not be able to tell whether there are porcini or not?"
After settling down here, the kitchen has already been tidied up.
A list of some items that can be imported and some that cannot be imported has already been sent out.
The kitchen is staffed by elderly people who have been with the company for many years, so it is impossible for such a mistake to occur.
"It's possible that it was mixed in there and I added it without noticing. Otherwise, there wouldn't be just this little symptom." The old doctor stroked his beard and said, "Such cases often happen here. We have to pay special attention to them."
Gu Wenheng, "Then how can this be solved? Will it have any effect on the body?"
"This won't have a big impact. Madam, you're very lucky. This symptom is probably caused by a low level of toxins. I'll prescribe some medicine. Madam, drink more water and eat some egg whites. After two days, the symptoms will be relieved."
Gu Wenheng asked someone to follow the doctor to get the medicine, while he started watching Jin Qianqian and asked her to drink as much water as possible.
"Doctor, wait a minute," Jin Qianqian urged Gu Wenheng, "Hurry up and take someone to check on the child. We had dinner together."
"Yes, doctor, you can't leave now. We have two children eating with us."
Gu Wenheng's face suddenly changed, and he walked out, "Quick, go and see how the two young masters are doing now."
Fortunately, the two children were arranged in the same courtyard for easy care. Gu Wenheng didn't care about his image at this moment and took the lead and ran ahead.
All the maids followed, and the old doctor was carried by two servants, one on the left and one on the right, and ran quickly towards where the two young masters were.
Gu Wenheng ran to the yard of the two children, panting, and felt relieved when he saw them sitting there playing with nothing to do.
Seeing Gu Wenheng coming, Gu Bencan dropped the puppet in his hand, rushed over, hugged his legs, and said, "Daddy, let's play together."
Gu Wenheng grabbed the child into his arms with one hand and held him, trying to make his expression more natural. "What are you two doing here?"
Gu Benluo raised the broken puppet in his hand and said, "I am helping my brother to put these missing arms back. Dad, why are you here at this time? Is there something wrong?"
Gu Wenheng walked over and touched his forehead, then carefully observed the faces of the two children to make sure they were fine. Then he asked the nanny beside him, "Is there anything unusual with the two young masters?"
The nanny beside her shook her head, "The two young masters have been playing here since they came back from dinner, there is nothing else unusual."
At this time, the doctor was also helped in, and Gu Wenheng immediately said, "Check the pulses of the two children first."
The old doctor had understood it all along the way, and without saying anything, he grabbed Gu Benluo's hand and said after a moment, "The young master's pulse is stable and there is nothing wrong."
Gu Wenheng held Gu Bencan and stretched out his little hand. After another check, there was still nothing wrong.
"But we are all using it together today," Gu Wenheng also stretched out his hand and the old doctor helped him feel his pulse.
"That shouldn't be the same thing you eat." The old doctor said, "You have to check it yourself."
The old doctor didn't like to pry into what was going on in the rear quarters, as he might end up getting himself into trouble if he wasn't careful.
Gu Wenheng asked Xu Dawang, who had come with him, to send someone to take the doctor away, settle the medical fees, and get the medicine back.
After handing the two children over to the maids and old women, he hurried back to the main courtyard.
"Go check," Lichun said to Xu Dawang before entering the room, "What did Madam eat today? We must check it out clearly."
His backyard has always been clean, and Gu Wenheng couldn't help but think of conspiracy theories at this moment.
This mansion is so big that the slaves they brought with them could not fill all the positions, so they purchased another batch here.
He had just arrived, so naturally he could not have any enemies. The only person he offended was the previous Censor.
Could it be that the loyal servant he left behind was scheming to blame himself for everything?
When Jin Qianqian saw him come in, she immediately asked anxiously, "How are they? Are the two children okay?"
She had also wanted to rush over, but for some reason, she felt uneasy and her limbs felt weak. She was afraid of causing trouble for the doctor, so she had to endure it.
"Nothing happened." Seeing that her face was a little pale, Gu Wenheng helped her sit down. "Maybe you ate something accidentally. I've asked someone to check it out."
Jin Qianqian, "I'm having the same meal as you guys today, except that I'm at Liang Mansion."
If there really was a problem, it definitely would not be in the mansion. The problem in Governor Liang’s mansion would be even bigger.
Just as they were thinking about how to investigate, the doorman at the door hurriedly found Xu Dawang.
"Butler, the steward of the Governor's Office said he has something urgent to see you."
Xu Dawang, "Take the person to the side hall first, I'll go take a look."
At this moment, the adults had no time to deal with these things, so Xu Dawang thought about getting rid of the person first.
As soon as he arrived at the side hall, he saw the other party standing at the door with an anxious look on his face, "Butler Xu, my wife sent me here to tell Lord Gu something important.
Several ladies who visited the Governor's Mansion today all showed mild symptoms of poisoning. My wife told you to ask a doctor to come and take a look."
Xu Dawang felt confused for a moment. It turned out that this was the problem.

Governor's Palace
Liang He looked at the servants kneeling in the yard with a stern face, but she didn't expect that someone would still reach in.
"Don't tell this lady that the poisonous mushroom fell in accidentally."
She is not stupid. If the other party did not kill anyone, then it is definitely not an external political enemy who did bad things, so there are not many people to suspect.
Don't let her find out. Whoever dares to do bad things behind my back and embarrass me like this must bear the consequences of my anger.
"If you tell the truth, I can still give you a quick death.
Otherwise, I would rather kill someone by mistake than let him go."
The servants kneeling in the yard all turned pale. If they left the Governor's Mansion, they would really have no way to survive.
Now, hearing the lady's tone, if the murderer is not found today, whether they can survive is another matter.
Seeing that no one spoke first, Liang He waved her hand to call for some guards, "Take everyone away and interrogate them separately. I will allow you to use severe torture.
After all, this is a serious crime of murdering an official's wife. Even if you are implicated, you deserve to be put to death.
I don't believe that so many of you didn't feel anything. Since you are all covering for each other, you should bear it together!"
Just as the guards were about to take the people away, someone spoke up, "Madam, I have something to say. I don't know if what I saw can help with this matter?"
