Didn’t they say there wasn’t enough food?
Where did you get this from?
Shopkeeper Zhao looked at the carriages with hatred in his eyes.
"Boss, with so much food delivered here, what should we do with our food?" The servant standing behind him said tremblingly.
"What should I do? How should I know?" Shopkeeper Zhao said angrily, "Investigate! Find out where this grain comes from, no matter what the cost!"
"yes!"
Shopkeeper Li looked at the full bowl of grain and his face was filled with joy.
"Madam Shang, you are truly amazing. You were able to get so much food. I really admire you!"
Shang Ruoyi smiled. How could this be something she could do? If there was no space, where would she get so much food?
"Shopkeeper Li, right now there is a food shortage in the north and it is winter, so it is inevitable that many people will have some crooked thoughts. Shopkeeper, please take more care of it."
"Of course." Shopkeeper Li said in a low voice, "Some time ago, if you hadn't reminded me, my granary would have been burned to ashes."
When Shang Ruoyi returned to the He family, she heard that Qin 꿻 had fallen ill.
Shang Ruoyi came to Qin Xiao's room, and He Yunyi sat beside her bed and fed Qin Xiao medicine.
"Mom." Shang Ruoyi walked in and saw Qin Xiao's pale face, so she stepped forward to feel her pulse.
"Nothing." Qin Xiao smiled: "The doctor said it's just a common cold, nothing serious." She coughed a few times, and her originally pale face looked even more bloodless.
After taking her pulse, Shang Ruoyi found that it was indeed as she said, just a cold, but why was it so serious?
Shang Ruoyi added some spiritual spring water to the water they usually drink. Although it was diluted a lot, it could still play a role in strengthening the body.
Normally you won't get sick.
"When did mother catch a cold?" Shang Ruoyi said in a low voice.
"This is the third time." He Yunyi sighed: "The temperature suddenly dropped a few nights ago. Maybe the cold weather has passed."
Shang Ruoyi took out a pill and handed it to her: "Mom, take the pill and have a good sleep. Maybe you will feel better tomorrow."
Qin 꿻 swallowed the pill and didn't feel anything at first. However, less than a cup of tea later, when he was about to take a rest, he suddenly vomited blood.
Suddenly, everyone was in chaos.
The news that Qin Xiao vomited blood quickly spread throughout the He family.
Even the old princess who had already gone to bed was startled.
"What's going on?" the old princess asked anxiously.
After Shang Ruoyi felt her pulse, she frowned and said in a deep voice, "Poisoned, mother is poisoned."
What?
Poisoning?
How is this possible?
"What did she eat before she went to bed?"
He Yunyi thought for a moment and said, "Before going to bed, my mother only ate a bowl of Tremella soup and the pills my sister-in-law gave her. She didn't use the rest."
Everyone's eyes fell on Shang Ruoyi, and she whispered, "Judging from the pulse, it is undoubtedly poisoned, and this poison is very strong. It has already attacked the heart meridian."
"Sister-in-law's pills are definitely not poisonous, so the only possibility is the Tremella soup." He Yunyi said in a deep voice: "The Tremella soup was also used yesterday."
He Yunyi brought the bowl that had been placed beside her bed and had not been taken away yet to Shang Ruoyi: "Sister-in-law, this is it."
Shang Ruoyi took out a silver needle and tested it a few times. The needle did not turn black, which meant it was non-toxic.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but frown slightly.
This isn't poisonous, so how did Qin 꿻 get poisoned?
늀At this moment, a burst of fragrance came into the tip of the nose.
Shang Ruoyi's pupils suddenly shrank.
That's it!
Shang Ruoyi looked at the person standing at the end with a look of disbelief.
How could it be her?
Seeing that she didn't speak, the old princess felt uneasy: "Child, do you know what poison your mother was poisoned with?"
Shang Ruoyi shook her head and said softly, "I don't know yet. I can only control my mother's poison through acupuncture so that it doesn't spread. But if I want to develop an antidote, it will take some time."
She took out a silver needle and inserted it into the acupuncture points on her body.
As soon as the needle was inserted, Qin 忻 spit out blood again.
"mother!"
"Sister-in-law!"
Seeing this, everyone came forward.
Shang Ruoyi put away the silver needle and glanced at the lotus flower on the man's waist without revealing any expression.
She just tried it with a silver needle, but she really couldn't keep her cool.
The silver needle in Shang Ruoyi's hand shot out suddenly, and when no one could react, a cry of pain was heard from the door.
Everyone looked towards the door.
There was a silver needle stuck in Xiang's hand. She looked at Shang Ruoyi in shock and knelt on the ground with a plop: "Young man, spare my life!"
Shang Ruoyi sneered: "Spare my life? When did I say I would spare your life?"
"But, this silver needle..." Before she could finish her words, she quickly closed her mouth.
"What's wrong with this silver needle?" Shang Ruoyi glanced at her calmly and said, "Tell me, how did this silver needle of mine kill you?"
Xiang's face changed slightly, and he lowered his head, not daring to look her in the eye.
Shang Ruoyi stood up, walked to Xiang 냫, and took the silver needle off the back of her hand.
He sneered and said, "How do you know that my silver needle is coated with poison?"
"Your servant, your servant..."
"You understand pharmacology." Shang Ruoyi held the silver needle in her fingers and waved it in front of her eyes: "Or rather, you understand poison."
"Young man, I don't understand what you are saying."
"I don't understand?" Shang Ruoyi reached out and took down the lotus hanging from her waist: "What's in your lotus?"
Xiang's pupils shrank suddenly, and she whispered, "I like to play with flowers and plants. There are dried lilac flowers here. I saw the lilac flowers in the backyard were blooming very well, so I picked some and dried them to make sachets."
"Lilac." Shang Ruoyi sneered: "These words may be used to deceive others, but they are not good enough in front of me." She poured out the contents of the lotus, which was indeed very similar to lilac flowers, and even tasted exactly the same, but Shang Ruoyi saw through it at a glance: "This is not lilac, it is a deciduous flower."
Xiang냫 looked at her in shock, how did she recognize her?
"Deciduous flower, as the name suggests, when this flower appears, the leaves growing on the stem will fall off instantly. It smells non-toxic alone, but its smell combined with Notopterygium wilfordii will become highly toxic." Shang Ruoyi's face was cold: "Before, it was you who told Aunt Zhao the location of the sachet hanging on the head of Cong Xiao's bed!"
Being able to avoid the secret guards and put the things on the bedside, this must have been done by one of their own. There are not just one or two secret guards here, guarding for twelve hours a day. If an outsider enters, the secret guards will definitely find him, unless he has extremely high martial arts skills, like He Jingheng.
But if that kind of person really wanted to do something to Prince Ding's Palace, it would not be as simple as just leaving a letter. When she and He Jingheng were not around, they would have already wiped out the He family.
So she concluded that there must be a traitor in the He family.
