Chapter 407 Hmm, special?
The messenger spoke up at the right moment, "Our master said, Madam, don't worry about this. The Governor's abilities are obvious to all. He knows what he's doing, so Madam, just relax. Given the current situation, it's best for Madam to avoid visiting the Six Gates. I believe the Governor will definitely come back to visit when he's free."
Mrs. Zhou felt a little embarrassed when she thought about breaking into the Six Gates last night.
It really caused trouble for my son.
She offended Emperor Xuan, but fortunately Emperor Xuan did not blame her or take his anger out on her son.
Mrs. Zhou waved her hand and said "OK", then gave the servant a few taels of silver as a reward and sent him back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The only person left in the room was her wet nurse.
"The mother and daughter last night said they were witnesses. They should be the adoptive mother of Prince Xiang's young master. We didn't see the young master last night, but before that, we heard the voice of a boy talking inside. So, madam, you can rest assured. Prince Xiang's young master's adoptive mother has several children. Our Marquis would never look down on them. He let them live in that inner courtyard for the sake of Prince Xiang's young master..." The wet nurse lowered her voice and said.
She is the person who knows Mrs. Zhou best.
Know what she is worried about.
I can't understand why a mother and daughter who are witnesses should be locked up in a cell or a remote courtyard? Why are they arranged to live in the inner courtyard where Liao Jiu lives?
With this explanation, it makes sense.
The crow's feet at the corners of Mrs. Zhou's eyes smoothed out. "Yes. Wuyang is very measured and thoughtful. I was overthinking it."
The big stone in my heart fell to the ground. At this time, a servant came to report outside.
"The Princess has arrived!"
Madam Zhou regained her graceful demeanor and said, "Please come in."

The Lin Mansion is within the second ring road of the capital, which is a bustling city and where wealthy businessmen live.
It wasn't long before they arrived at the Lin Mansion.
From a distance, two tall stone Pixiu stand at the door, majestic and awe-inspiring, driving away evil and attracting wealth.
Vermilion walls, red tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, full of wealth and prosperity.
Entering inside, there is an even more unique world. There are several large courtyards with winding corridors. It is grand and luxurious, yet elegant and simple. The Lin family has been a merchant family for generations, but they did not have the reputation of being an imperial merchant. In terms of wealth, it is truly a family that has been prosperous for several dynasties.
The maids and servants were in good order, those who served tea served tea, those who served cakes served cakes. They were well-mannered, looking straight ahead and behaving in a graceful manner.
It can be seen that Mrs. Lin is good at managing the household.
Jiang Lianzhu waited for a long time, but Mrs. Lin didn't come back.
She had nothing to do anyway, so she checked Lin Ziyi and Housekeeper Lin's physical condition again. After making sure that they were fine, she modified the previous prescription, adding a few tonics that were suitable for the symptoms and removing some medicinal herbs, focusing on gentle conditioning.
The illness has been treated.
Lin Ziyi brought out all the delicious food and drinks at home and let Jiang Lianzhu have a taste.
He also took her to visit the courtyard where he lived and took out the good things he had kept for many years to show off in front of Jiang Lianzhu.
The middle school boy had quite a collection of all kinds of strange things, including antiques, calligraphy and paintings, magic weapons, flowers, birds, crickets, etc. Jiang Lianzhu had a good eye and could recognize what was a good thing at a glance. She won Lin Ziyi's heart and he kept introducing her to them.
Steward Lin, who was standing aside, looked up at the sky.
The maids and servants passing by all widened their eyes. How come their young master, who usually spoke little and had a bad temper, seemed like a different person today?
Why is he talking so much? Are he hallucinating?
Or is this distinguished guest a girl... well, special?
It seems like something big has been discovered.
Word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Soon, groups of maids and old women came to Lin Ziyi's yard to serve tea, water, weed, and water the plants. Each of them looked different.
Lin Ziyi himself didn't notice it, but Jiang Lianzhu wanted to laugh when she saw it. This young master Lin had a bad temper, but he seemed to be popular in the Lin family.
After lunch time, Mrs. Lin still hadn't returned.
Lin Ziyi invited Jiang Lianzhu to have dinner at the Lin Mansion. Fortunately, he knew that Jiang Lianzhu was a guest, so he did not ask her to go to the kitchen to help him prepare delicious dishes.
The lunch was of quite high standard, entertaining Jiang Lianzhu alone, with more than a dozen dishes and seven or eight desserts and fruits.
After finishing the meal, they waited patiently for a while, and finally someone came back with a message saying that Mrs. Lin was busy on business and couldn't leave. Knowing that Jiang Lianzhu needed something, she asked someone to send the key to the warehouse back. She also apologized that she couldn't entertain her this time, and she would definitely visit Jiang Lianzhu next time.
Jiang Lianzhu was very grateful. She could feel Mrs. Lin's sincerity.
Today, Jiang Lianzhu waited for so long, actually she also had the intention of apologizing to the Lin family. Because of her, Lin Ziyi was injured, housekeeper Lin was seriously injured, and so many guards of the Lin family died. Mrs. Lin might be dissatisfied with her, so she should come to the other family's house to apologize.
Gratitude is one aspect, but etiquette cannot be lost either.
As it turned out, Mrs. Lin had something important to do today, so it was really unfortunate, so forget it. It seemed that Mrs. Lin was also a generous person. If she really had a problem with her, she wouldn't have returned the key to the warehouse so readily.
I owe the Lin family another favor.
After I finish the things at hand, I will definitely come to visit you again next time.
Butler Lin took the key, opened the door of the warehouse, and found the magical herb.
Take it out and show it to Jiang Lianzhu.
Jiang Lianzhu was overjoyed when she identified it.
There are indeed things in this world that you can find without any effort even after searching for them everywhere.
That's the fairy grass she's looking for!!
***
As soon as Imperial Physician Zhang and the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau came in, they knelt on the ground, confessed their sins and begged for forgiveness from Emperor Xuan.
He was old, and he was crying with tears and snot all over his face. He was also exhausted and covered in dust from the journey, and looked very miserable.
Xuan Huang waved his hand and said, "Alright, stop now."
It was not right for Doctor Zhang to cry, nor was it right not to cry.
It's that kind of expression of being wronged and feeling extremely difficult.
The dean next to him then interjected, "Your Majesty, as soon as Old Zhang returned, I asked him about the poisoning of the Eagle Master of Baihua Tower that had caused him to lose control of his behavior. Imperial Physician Zhang said he had heard of this poison before and had a solution, so I quickly brought him here..."
Xuan Huang gestured, "Then tell me."
Doctor Zhang wiped away the tears, snot and other things on his face and quickly entered the state of a doctor.
"Then I need to ask Governor Liao what specific signs this person has of poisoning."
Everyone looked at Liao Jiu.
Liao Jiu described the general symptoms of Eagle Master's poisoning.
Doctor Zhang listened and thought carefully for a long time.
He looked solemn. "If I'm not mistaken, he must have been poisoned by a spirit cauldron poison, a poison that's planted in the head. It's called a spirit cauldron poison because there's a mother cauldron outside the body. The poison in his body is a child cauldron poison. The mother cauldron poison can be remotely controlled. If you hypnotize the mother cauldron, the child cauldron will be affected, and then his mind will be out of his control. He'll have no self-awareness, just like a puppet..."
