Si Luo didn't linger. After handing over the items, she turned and left.
Green Fairy took the oil paper package, went into the courtyard, then went to the small kitchen, put the fried dough on a plate, and then brought it into the house.
As soon as she stepped into the house, Wen Nongnong smelled the aroma of sesame oil cakes. "It smells so good, Lüqiao, did you go outside and buy some sesame oil cakes?"
Seeing how sensitive her nose was, Lü Qiao said with amusement, "I didn't buy it, it was Young Master Si."
"Si Luo?" Wen Nong Nong was somewhat surprised.
"Yes, Young Master Si just gave it to me. He said he saw a newly opened sesame seed cake shop on his way back and thought their fried dough cakes tasted pretty good, so he bought you one." Green Fairy said, placing the plate on the table. "The sesame seed cake is still warm, would you like to eat it while it's hot, Miss?"
Wen Nongnong had just finished feeding the two children and was feeling a bit hungry. Upon hearing this, she licked her lips.
Seeing her greedy look, Granny Ding said with a smile, "Go and eat quickly. It looks like the young master and the princess are going to sleep soon. Let this old servant coax them."
“Okay.” Wen Nongnong nodded and stood up to give her her seat.
The two little ones lay in the cradle, half-asleep with their eyes half-closed. Just as they were about to cry when they saw their mother walk away, the cradle suddenly began to rock gently. They stopped crying and soon their eyelids drooped, and they slowly fell asleep.
Granny Ding sat beside the cradle, looking at the two little ones sleeping inside with a loving expression.
These two children are so beautiful and well-behaved, so easy to take care of. The more you look at them, the more you like them, and you wish you could hold them in the palm of your hand and pamper them.
Seeing that the children were asleep, Wen Nongnong sat down at the table.
Looking at the sesame-covered fried dough on the plate, she swallowed hard and couldn't wait to pick it up with her chopsticks and take a bite.
"Wow, this tastes so good! Greenie, you should eat some too," she called out.
Green Fairy shook her head with a smile, "I don't really like to eat it, Your Highness can eat it yourself."
Upon hearing this, Wen Nongnong paused for a moment and asked, "Is it because Si Luo bought it?"
Greenie felt a little uncomfortable that she had seen through her thoughts, "It's not like that..."
Wen Nongnong raised an eyebrow, how could she not know the concerns in her heart? She sighed and said, "Are you afraid that Si Yi will be unhappy when he comes back and sees you getting close to Si Luo and his sister?"
Seeing that her thoughts could not be hidden from her, Lü Qiao sighed and simply admitted, "I am indeed a little worried. No matter what, Si Zhennan and his wife did hurt Si Yi back then. If it weren't for the prince, Si Yi would not have survived. It is understandable that he hates the Si family."
Wen Nongnong also felt sorry for Si Yi's childhood experiences. She sighed and said understandingly, "I know. I won't force you to be close to Si Luo and the others. You can keep your distance from them."
Although the culprit who harmed Si Yi was Si Zhennan, not Si Luo and Si Lan, in Si Yi's eyes, there is probably no difference.
Seeing that she understood, Lü Qiao breathed a sigh of relief. Remembering something else, she hesitated for a moment before saying, "Miss, I can tell that Si Luo seems to treat you... differently from others."
Wen Nongnong was taken aback. In fact, she had sensed it too, but she thought that their relationship was aboveboard and there was nothing to hide, so she said, "Don't overthink it. I've been married to the prince for so long and have already had two children. Si Luo will understand."
There are plenty of good girls in the world; perhaps he will meet the girl of his dreams soon.
Upon hearing this, Lü Qiao felt somewhat ashamed, "I was narrow-minded."
"It's not your fault. I know you were trying to remind me," Wen Nongnong said tolerantly.
Lü Qiao breathed a sigh of relief.
The next day, after thinking about it all night, Physician Lin decided that he should tell Wen Nongnong about Si Luo's poisoning, so he came to the main courtyard.
"You mean, Si Luo has been poisoned?" Wen Nong Nong was very surprised when she heard this.
"Yes." Imperial Physician Lin nodded and said with certainty, "Although this old minister does not know what kind of poison Si Luo has been poisoned with, I have examined his pulse and there are indeed signs of poisoning. But strangely, this boy does not admit it."
Upon hearing this, Wen Nongnong suddenly realized something.
It seems that when Si Luo confronted the Taoist priest Lingyin in Rongshi Town, Cizhou, he inadvertently fell into his trap.
But why doesn't Si Luo say anything?
She frowned.
But no matter what, Si Luo's poisoning was caused by her.
He had already saved her once, and now he was poisoned because of her.
She owed him an immense debt of gratitude.
With this in mind, she asked Granny Ding and Lü Qiao to stay in the room to look after the two children, while she took Bai Li and Physician Lin and went to the guest courtyard.
However, just as she was about to step into the guest courtyard, an armored guard rushed over and presented her with a letter.
Wen Nongnong took it and started reading.
After reading the contents, her expression changed. "Where did this letter come from?"
"Someone just shot an arrow at the gate of the Prince's mansion, and this letter was taken from that arrow," the armored guard replied.
"Alright, I understand. You may leave now. We need to strengthen the security of the manor recently," Wen Nongnong instructed.
"yes."
After the armored guards withdrew, Physician Lin noticed that Wen Nongnong's expression was off and quickly asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem with this letter?"
Wen Nongnong didn't say anything, but handed him the letter.
Physician Lin took it and began to examine it.
I was very angry after reading it.
"So the poison in Si Luo's body was caused by this letter writer. He even dared to threaten you with the antidote to go to the appointment alone? Your Highness, you must not go!"
Wen Nong Nong frowned. She naturally knew that the Taoist priest Lingyin had led her to the appointment alone in order to take her life. However, Si Luo had been kind to her, and his poisoning was caused by her. If she ignored him, she would be too heartless.
She thought for a moment and said to Physician Lin and Bai Li, "Don't make this public. Let me think about it first."
Just as the three were about to leave, Si Luo came out from inside the door and snatched the letter from Physician Lin's hand.
"Si Luo?" Wen Nongnong noticed and called out with a frown.
After reading the letter, Si Luo smiled and said, "That stinky Taoist priest is really cunning." Then, she looked at Wen Nongnong and asked, "Are you planning to keep your appointment?"
Wen Nongnong was speechless.
She really wanted to keep the appointment; after all, she owed Si Luo a debt and couldn't just ignore it.
“You are no match for that old Taoist priest,” Si Luo said bluntly. “If you go alone, it will be like a lamb entering a tiger’s den.”
Wen Nongnong retorted, "I'm not that bad, am I? Besides, I'm not planning to go alone." She wanted Bai Li to lead the Ironclad Guards to ambush him in secret, and when the Lingyin Taoist appeared, they would try to capture him and force him to hand over the antidote.
Si Luo nodded. "However, I have a better way."
"What method?" Wen Nongnong immediately asked.
Si Luo's gaze suddenly fell on Bai Li.
Wen Nongnong was stunned for a moment when she saw this, then a flash of inspiration struck her, and she immediately thought of something, but shook her head and rejected it, "No, that's too risky."
