Chapter 318 Farewell Party
Jiang Herong looked at him with displeasure, "This won't work, and that won't work either. What should I do?"
Zhang Yao hurriedly said, "The young lady has lost her memory now, and she has completely trusted Lin Zheng. To be honest, Master may not like to hear this, but the young lady is probably closer to Lin Zheng than you are to her. If you rashly expose this to her, I'm afraid she won't believe it. She might even go to Lin Zheng to verify it. Wouldn't that mean he would know about it?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Herong showed some hesitation on his face.
"Nan Sheng is always calm, so this shouldn't happen."
Zhang Yao's eyelids drooped slightly, and his tone was inexplicable.
"In the past, when she was still a young master, she was indeed calm, but now that she is a young lady, her memory is filled with Lin Zheng, and her whole heart is inclined towards Lin Zheng."
There was an indescribable sadness on Zhang Yao's face, and there was also a hidden pain and unwillingness in his heart, which he tried hard to suppress.
Jiang Herong seemed to be thinking deeply. "What you said does make some sense. So, what do you think we should do?"
Zhang Yao suppressed his emotions and spoke slowly, "I have a plan to get rid of Lin Zheng without anyone noticing."
"Tell me about it?"
Zhang Yao whispered something, and a hint of deep thought flashed in Jiang Herong's eyes.
He didn't express his opinion immediately, but Zhang Yao knew from his expression that he had already made up his mind.
Zhang Yao lowered his head and said nothing more, a cold murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
Lin Zheng shouldn't have appeared.
It would have been fine if he had left tactfully at the beginning, but since he refuses to leave and insists on staying by the young lady's side, don't blame him for being ruthless.
In the following days, Jiang Herong did not take any action and seemed to have forgotten about the matter.
Zhang Yao didn't mention it again and continued to do his own thing honestly.
On Xiao Yanci's side, everything was ready and he was ready to set off the next day.
Gu Qishan held a banquet at the general's mansion to bid farewell to Xiao Yan.
Gu Qishan was recuperating from illness and hadn't drunk alcohol for a long time. Tonight he broke the rule and had a few drinks.
"Your Highness, be careful on your journey. May your return to the capital be safe and sound. The Emperor commends you. When you ascend to the throne, I hope you will plead for the soldiers guarding the border. Although I am old, I can still guard this city gate and will not allow the Qiangdi people to set foot in Da Qi again."
Xiao Yanci personally poured wine for him, "Don't worry, old general, the court will not treat any loyal and brave man unfairly."
Gu Qishan looked at Xiao Yanci, and a hint of mist rose in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up.
He ordered his men to fetch his sword. "This sword has been with me for thirty years. Today I present it to Your Highness. Seeing it is like meeting an old soldier at the frontier. One day... if you are entrusted with the responsibility of entrusting the Nine Temples, I will lead the three armies to forge armor and clean weapons for Your Highness."
He spoke the last words in a low voice so that only the two of them could hear them clearly.
Xiao Yanci and he looked at each other, and there was a clear understanding in each other's eyes that needed no further explanation.
Xiao Yanci didn't pour him any more wine, but poured him a cup of tea instead.
"Then the old general needs to take care of himself."
Gu Qishan smiled heartily and patted his chest hard.
"I will take good care of myself and not cause Your Highness to worry for nothing."
Ge Xubai was also at the table. He drank slowly, his eyes falling on Ye Hanyi from time to time.
When he looked at her for who knows how many times, Ye Hanyi stood up and walked up to him with confidence.
"Ge Xubai, before I leave, I want to spar with you again. Do you dare?"
Ge Xubai put down his cup, lifted his robe and stood up, "Then I'll give you my respects."
The two men left everyone behind and went out to compete.
Xiao Yanci glanced at them and ignored them.
They all know their limits and won't act recklessly.
Everyone was drinking and chatting happily, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
At this moment, someone hurried in to report, "Your Majesty, General, something bad has happened at the Jiang family."
The harmonious atmosphere in the room was instantly wiped out, and everyone was mostly sober.
"What happened?"
"For some reason, there was a conflict in the Jiang family. Old Doctor Jiang and Young Doctor Jiang were both injured and unconscious."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yanci and Lu Zhiran's expressions changed.
Without caring about anything else, he immediately got up and went over there. Gu Qishan immediately sent someone to call a military doctor.
When they arrived, the Jiang family was already in chaos.
There were still bloodstains in the courtyard, which looked shocking.
Both Old Doctor Jiang and Jiang Nansheng were carried to the bed.
There was a huge bloody hole on the forehead of the old doctor Jiang. His face, which had finally regained some rosy color after resting for the past few days, turned pale again, and his whole face was shrouded in a dying aura.
Jiang Nansheng's eyes were closed tightly, and there were no obvious external injuries on his face, except that his complexion was a little pale.
Lin Zheng stood by her bed, his face gloomy and his eyes red, as if bloodshot.
His clothes were stained with blood. Looking closely, there were wounds on his fingertips, with blood dripping from them, but he had not treated them at all.
The Jiang family's masters had all learned medicine since childhood, but their medical skills were mediocre. Given the current situation, none of them dared to take action.
Shuanghua stepped forward and took the pulse of the two people in turn. A serious look appeared on her face.
"The blood clots in Miss Jiang's brain seem to have dispersed somewhat, but I dare not use needles rashly. Whether she can wake up depends on her luck. As for what Doctor Jiang said... I dare not make a definitive statement. Let's wait for other doctors to come and make a diagnosis."
Shuanghua's words were vague, but everyone had a vague guess.
Jiang Nansheng's condition is slightly better, but I'm afraid that old doctor Jiang is no longer able to make it.
Xiao Yanci's face darkened. "What's going on?"
The murderous aura around Lin Zheng subsided slightly, and he glanced in the direction of Jiang Herong.
"The eldest master of the Jiang family wanted to attack me and poisoned my wine. The poison took effect and Nan Sheng found out. We had an argument and he pushed her and she fell unconscious."
"Old Doctor Jiang was alarmed and, in a rage, tried to teach him a lesson, but was pushed down by the Master, crashing into the corner of the table. If I hadn't been able to control the poison in time and regain control of my body, I'm afraid I would have been killed by him."
When Lin Zheng said this, his tone was cold and filled with suppressed anger.
The poison in his body was still not completely eliminated, so he pricked his finger to expel the toxin and keep his mind clear.
As soon as Lin Zheng finished speaking, Xiao Yanci's gaze immediately turned to Jiang Herong. His eyes were as sharp as a knife, which made him shudder all over and his legs began to go weak unconsciously.
"Jin, Your Highness Prince Jin, this is all a misunderstanding. I, I just slipped up, it wasn't intentional! Nan Sheng is my blood, how could I hurt her? The old man is my biological father, I, I wouldn't hurt him either. I really was careless."
Xiao Yanci's gaze was sharp, and there was a gloom in his eyes.
"Then what about you poisoning Lin Zheng?"
"Your Highness Prince Jin, he harbored evil intentions! It was he who colluded with the villains and caused Nan Sheng's accident. I am avenging Nan Sheng. Nan Sheng was bewitched by him and completely believed him and not me... Your Highness Prince Jin, you must believe me!"
