Chapter 585: Reborn Girl vs. Book-Traveling Girl 6
Master Mingjue is proficient in medicine. Although he cannot be called a master of traditional Chinese medicine, most diseases are not difficult for him.
He walked forward and took her pulse with three fingers. His brows furrowed slightly, then relaxed.
"The pulse is steady, showing no signs of illness. This donor is simply asleep, nothing serious is wrong. When he wakes up at dawn tomorrow, everything will be back to normal."
Lingque was extremely anxious. He wanted to speak but didn't dare to interrupt the conversation between the master and the master. He could only wait anxiously.
The old lady noticed Lingque's anxiety and asked gently, "But is there something we don't know?"
The spirit bird quickly bowed.
“In reply to the old lady, our young lady slept so soundly tonight for some reason.
When the fire started just now, I tried my best to call the young lady to wake up, but no matter how much I called, she wouldn't wake up.
Please take another good look at this, Master. Is this really okay?"
The old lady's heart trembled, and she turned her gaze to Master Mingjue.
"What is the reason for this? Can you tell me, Master?"
Master Mingjue pondered for a moment and asked, "What did this donor use and touch today? Please tell me in detail."
Lingque didn't dare to hide anything, so he told Zheng Xingyao all the food she had come into contact with today.
Lingque even remembered the melon juice he drank on the road.
Zheng Xingyao mentioned this to Lingque unintentionally after arriving at the temple.
There was nothing taboo about these foods and items. Master Mingjue lowered his eyes and pondered, then checked them carefully again.
Inadvertently, he caught a faint scent on the clothes Zheng Xingyao was wearing.
"Miss, what kind of incense did you burn?" asked Master Mingjue.
Lingque hurriedly shook his head, "When we came to the temple today, our young lady didn't burn any incense."
After Mingjue and the old lady confirmed it, they moved closer again and carefully distinguished the fragrance.
After a moment, he said, “Your young lady should have come into contact with a fragrance called Hechen Shui’an.
The fragrance is very faint and it is difficult to detect unless you smell it carefully.
The scent lingering on the young lady's clothes is faint, so I don't think it was intentional."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "I once saw an ancient recipe.
There is no taboo on melon seeds themselves, but when they are combined with Zuimengcao and Hechenshui'an, they become a remedy for a "good night's sleep".
Drunken Dream Grass, also known as Orchid Beard Grass, is a common grass in fields.
However, Hechen An is more difficult to find. The materials used are very particular and it takes several years to produce a little bit.
I think it was a combination of factors that caused this young lady to sleep so soundly this time."
Master Mingjue clasped his hands together and said with a firm expression, "This 'night of deep sleep' has no other adverse effects, it just makes people fall into a deep sleep.
When you wake up, everything will return to normal.
These three will not have any effect on people when used separately. Only when the three meet will people fall into deep sleep and cannot be woken up.
Donor, rest assured, monks do not lie, and the young lady will not have any other problems."
Thanks to the full efforts of the monks in the temple and the servants of the Xuanping Marquis' Mansion, the fire raging in the yard has been put out.
The burning wood emitted wisps of green smoke, and the air was filled with a pungent burnt smell.
The old lady was always worried, and what she was most worried about was Zheng Xingyao's safety.
After hearing Master Mingjue say with certainty that Zheng Xingyao was not seriously injured, her tense expression finally relaxed.
It was late at night, and the quiet moonlight enveloped Puguang Temple.
In another hour, the sky will turn pale, ushering in a new day.
The old lady thanked Master Mingjue and asked someone to donate a large sum of money to the temple. On the one hand, it was to compensate for the small courtyard in the temple, and on the other hand, it was to thank Master Mingjue for helping Zheng Xingyao to treat her.
After everything was arranged, the old lady moved to another yard with her granddaughters.
The new courtyard is quiet and peaceful. The moonlight shines through the mottled shadows of the trees onto the ground, as if covered with a layer of silver frost.
However, the old lady found it difficult to calm the turmoil in her heart.
Before lying down on the bed, the old lady's eyes became sharp and deep. She gently waved her hand, calling Madam Xu to her side, and whispered seriously:
"It's not that simple. Go tell your people now to take immediate action and get to the bottom of this.
If we wait until dawn, a lot of evidence may be gone.
Our marquis's wife seems kind and amiable on weekdays, but if anyone touches her son and daughter, she will never let it go.
Among those who came with us this time, there must be the Marquis’s confidants. They will definitely go back and report after daybreak.
I guess someone will come tomorrow.
We need to figure things out as soon as possible so we can have a clear understanding of the situation and deal with it with ease."
Nanny Xu responded respectfully. She was used to doing these things, so she knew what to do without the old lady telling her the details.
After covering the old lady with a thin blanket, she left the room and went out to arrange for help.
After Aunt Xu left, the old lady lay on the bed and slowly opened her eyes. In the faint moonlight, her eyes seemed deep and complicated.
She sighed softly, feeling secretly that the children had grown up and each had their own little thoughts.
As an elder, she could only try her best to ensure that the Xuanping Marquisate obtained the greatest benefits, and fairness could only be discussed relatively.
The old lady knew clearly that this incident was obviously done by her eldest granddaughter Zheng Yuejin.
But she really couldn't understand why Zheng Yuejin did such a thing.
I just hope the eldest girl is smart enough and doesn't leave any handle.
After all, Zheng Yuejin still has her marriage to the prince, which is a major event concerning the entire Xuanping Marquis Mansion and must not be ruined.
She hoped that Aunt Xu could act quickly and find evidence before the people that the Marquis left with her second granddaughter Zheng Xingyao, and handle the matter properly.
The master and servant have been together for many years and have a tacit understanding that others do not have.
Although the old lady just asked Aunt Xu to find out the truth of the matter, Aunt Xu naturally understood the deeper meaning of the old lady's words and knew what to do.
On the other side, Zheng Yunxi was also not sleepy at all.
She lay on the bed and radiated her spiritual awareness.
It is not difficult to judge that the instigator of this incident is Zheng Yuejin.
Recalling the scene during the day, the melon juice was prepared by Zheng Yuejin, and she was the one who took it out for everyone to drink.
Moreover, as a little concubine, it is impossible for her to own a spice like Hechenshui'an, which is rare and made with exquisite ingredients.
Although Zheng Xingyao is the legitimate daughter, Lingque also said that her young lady specifically instructed not to burn incense when coming to the temple today, so the source of the spices is very suspicious.
Although Zheng Yuejin's mother died early, her maternal family was a Duke's Mansion, and they gave her many good things every New Year. Maybe He Chen Shuian was sent by her maternal family.
Although fire is the best way to destroy a body, for some things, even if there is no conclusive evidence, as long as you have a guess in your heart who did it, it doesn't matter whether there is evidence or not.
