Honeysuckle was still thinking about the prince: "Miss, the prince should be here!"
"Do you want him to get hurt again?" An Qingran said with a smile.
"No, I just thought that the prince was injured, so I came to find Miss Zhuo. He should at least thank her after he recovers!" Rendong had great fantasies about the prince, so of course she hugged him on behalf of her lady.
"Now that he's here, don't I have to confess?" An Qingran said with a smile.
"There must be another way, right?" Honeysuckle sighed.
"Forget it, we just helped a little, there's no need to ask for anything in return!" An Qingran said, putting the asarum into the pit, "Why don't you bury it quickly?"
"But..." Honeysuckle frowned, "I feel like we shouldn't have lost contact like this..."
"Just tell me, but don't let anyone know. It's good for the General's Mansion if the Crown Prince doesn't come. After all, the people in the dark have the upper hand now. He has been injured several times. If people knew that someone in the General's Mansion saved him, I'm afraid that the people in the dark will regard us as enemies. By then, we won't know who we have offended!"
When Rendong heard this, she was so scared that she dared not say anything more.
In fact, An Zhongtao was also confused about who the enemy of the General's Mansion was.
He still has no clue about the incident in which An Qingran was robbed in Yuehua Temple last time.
To be honest, he acted uprightly and offended many small-time people. He couldn't imagine who could treat him casually.
Too many enemies.
Lian Jinyu stayed in the house every day and seldom went outside. Not only was the weather too hot, but she was really afraid that something might go wrong!
The old lady no longer allowed An Qingran to have dinner with her at Beiyuan every night. She would make the same portion of whatever everyone was eating for her. After An Qingran finished eating at Beiyuan, she would have some food left over and accompany her for another meal.
That day, when she was eating, she smelled a sweet fragrance, which was not the fragrance of food. She found that it was coming from a pot of flowers on the windowsill. She asked curiously, "Mother, there was no such flower before. Who gave it to you?"
"I don't know which concubine it is, but all of them come and go, sending me things every day, either tonics or fun things, to make me happy..."
An Qingran smelled the fragrance of the flower and said, "This is tuberose. It's not common in our general's mansion. It's hard for them... Wait! Mother, do you remember what the medical book says about tuberose?"
Lian Jinyu saw that her expression was not right, but he just frowned and couldn't think of anything: "What did you say? Are you here to test mother's medical skills? Didn't your cousin teach you a lot? Why don't you tell me!"
An Qingran frowned and said, "Only the scent of tuberose is strong. If you smell it for a long time, you will feel happy and it is not good for sleep. It is not a big deal if you just stay away from it. But the smell of Nandina domestica mixed with tuberose is poisonous. Although it can repel mosquitoes, it is not good for the body... Come on, move these two pots of flowers outside!"
An Qingran said this and immediately gave the order.
She was afraid that Lian Jinyu would worry too much, so she didn't say it too seriously. In fact, the two kinds of floral scents are harmless to people separately, but when put together, they can produce a psychedelic poison that will gradually make people hallucinate, feel sleepy at night, and feel dazed during the day. Over time, not to mention saving the fetus, even the adult would be in danger.
Lian Jinyu thought for a moment and said, "Yes, why didn't I think of this? It shows that you are more attentive than me."
"Yes, I am learning very hard. Fortunately, the fragrance of the flowers doesn't last long and has no harm to my body. Let me take a look at this pot of arrow orchid. Why are the leaves turning yellow? Who sent it?" An Qingran began to pay attention to all the flowers in the house.
"They are all from the general's mansion. Sometimes when I was not around, they were delivered. Madam Hong couldn't tell them apart and accepted them all. But this basin seems to have been there originally. What's the matter?"
An Qingran looked at the flower, and suddenly frowned. She leaned over the leaves and sniffed carefully, saying, "How can there be such a strange fragrance even though the flower is not in bloom?"
She picked up the shovel beside her and scooped up the soil. As she moved, the fragrance in the air became stronger and stronger. She was more and more shocked, until she dug out a black stone egg-like object. She was shocked and immediately took it outside: "Madame Hong, throw this as far away as possible! And this pot of flowers, throw it outside."
Nanny Hong didn't know what was going on, but she noticed that An Qingran's face was filled with rare anger, so she was frightened and walked out of the yard.
Lian Jinyu behind him said, "It's musk!"
After all, she studied medicine, so of course she recognized this musk.
It is also a medicine that medical students must recognize.
An Qingran turned around and said, "Mother, who sent these flowers? Can you find out?"
"Look!" Lian Jinyu pointed at the flowers in the yard in front of the steps and said, "There are so many flowers, no one can remember them all. Besides, this pot looks like it was originally there, so how can we find out who buried it here and when? This matter is really hard to handle. If I don't handle it well, people will think I'm making trouble and deliberately being intolerant!"
An Qingran hadn't thought of this. In her opinion, none of the four or five concubines could escape this responsibility, and they should all be sent back home!
However, thinking carefully about what her mother said, she knew that if she did so, people outside would definitely spread the word that the wife was pregnant with a legitimate son and would not be tolerated.
But this matter was of no trivial matter. An Qingran was already frightened out of her body in a cold sweat. Fortunately, she was more careful today. If the smell of the tuberose had not been too strong, she would not have thought of anything and would not have smelled the gladiolus for no reason. If she had stayed in the house for too long, her younger brother and sister would not have come into this world!
She ordered all the flowers and plants in the yard to be cleared away, and then all the supplements and cloths sent by those people were sent to the warehouse of the general's mansion. Once there was any movement in the east warm room, the whole general's mansion knew about it. Those who were doing bad things in the dark were also quite surprised. They didn't expect that they would be discovered after just a few moves. However, she was afraid that they would discover themselves!
After An Zhongtao came back, Lian Jinyu hesitated for a long time, wondering whether to tell him.
But when she saw his tired face, she swallowed it back. Yes, too many things had happened in the General's Mansion recently, so she decided to let him worry less.
I should be more careful in the future. If it weren’t for Qingran, I don’t know when I would have discovered it!
This can also be considered as a lesson for myself.
After An Zhongtao sat on a chair and drank a cup of tea, he felt better. He asked, "How are you? Are you feeling unwell today?"
