She was obviously in a state of excitement, her eyes were bright like fire, she looked down at Ye Chi's face, and couldn't help but rub her eyebrows, which seemed a little uncomfortable.

“……”

Ye Chi's chin was pinched by her, still in shock, a face seemed to be ignited by her delicate fingers, embarrassed to the point that his face was red and his ears were red, and steam could almost come out of the top of his head, and he avoided his gaze in great discomfort, and moved back at the same time.

Kaoru felt his head heavy, but he was unusually lucid, and he pushed away his outstretched hand, continued to hold his chin, and asked, "What, are you not satisfied?" ”

Her voice was not loud, but the movements of the two attracted a lot of attention, and even the people who were reciting poetry on the opposite side looked curiously in this direction, and several little girls sitting in the corner covered their faces and secretly looked out through their fingers.

Qingjun's face was as red as if it was on fire, Ye Chi's already thin-skinned person couldn't sit still at all, and he grabbed Kaoru Tai's wrist and tried to stop her next move, and said blankly: "Tantai, is there something wrong with that glass of wine just now?"

At this moment, Kaoru Tantai couldn't hear him at all, only knew that his mouth was moving, and his head was buzzing, as if he heard the voices of hundreds of people at the same time. She didn't know how to describe this feeling, she was obviously very awake, and she didn't feel hot, but even she could feel her cheeks burning, and everyone seemed to be far away, not close.

It's amazing.

Le Tong, who had gone to rest before, heard the sound, and when he saw this, he knew that something was wrong, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand on the veins of Yutai Kaoru, frowned slightly, turned to Ye Chi and said, "I'll send you back now." ”

Ye Chi responded and wanted to help Kaoru Tai out of the door, but she shook off his hand. He pulled several more times, until Kaoru Tantai stared at him for a long time and was sure that he knew him, and then he reluctantly followed him into the carriage.

"Who gave you the wine?"

After returning to the state pastor's mansion, Le Tong took the towel and wiped her sweat and asked her some questions, but she either couldn't hear it, or it took a long time to say some strange things.

"It's the Chu He of the Ministry of Officials. Ye Chi put the hot water aside and stared at Kaoru Yutai on the couch, "I've heard that there was a kind of drug popular in the literary world before, which can make people hallucinate in a short period of time, isn't it?"

"No, those literati are at most a pastime and do not harm their own bodies. Le Tong unfolded a roll of thin needles, applied it to Kaoru Tai's arm, and raised his eyes to look at Ye Chi, "This is poison." ”

Ye Chi was stunned when he heard this, and his expression instantly became complicated, "...... Poison?"

"Yes, the initial symptoms of this poison are similar to those of psychedelic powder, but it can quickly lead to exhaustion and even death. Le Tong nodded, not sad or happy, "I specially poisoned the poetry club, I'm afraid that I want to frame us merchants, and I hope Lord Ye will see it." But...... If it weren't for the poison given by Lord Chu, then you should thoroughly investigate whether Lord Tantai had a holiday with someone. ”

"No need. Ye Chi sighed and looked away silently, "This glass of wine was originally for me, and she just drank it for me." ”

Le Tong looked at him again, as if he understood something, took a pen and wrote a prescription, handed it over, and said: "Fortunately, I found it in time, as long as she drinks some medicine, she will be fine for the time being." He paused, "If Lord Wakaba doesn't believe me, you can go and ask the doctor to take a look." ”

Ye Chi calmly took the prescription in his hand and asked, "Isn't Le Gongzi a doctor?"

"Xiaosheng is just a doctor after a long illness. Le Tong waved his hand and showed a tired smile, "According to this recipe, take it once in the morning and once in the evening, and you will be cured in less than ten days." ”

He wrapped the robe around his body tightly, waved goodbye to Ye Chi, and slowly disappeared into the dark night until he could no longer be seen.

After he left, Chang Su hurried over, looking up and down to see if something had happened to his son-in-law, and Ye Chi rarely didn't say anything to comfort him, took out the letter he received earlier with a calm face, and said a little helplessly: "It seems that His Highness guessed correctly, and this letter will be handed over to you first." ”

Changsu looked at Kaoru Yutai, who had fallen into a deep sleep, took the letter with trepidation, and asked, "Childe, what ......is that?" What should I do over there?"

"Since this has happened, I think his attention should not be on the annual review. Ye Chi carefully put away the prescription and covered the quilt for Kaoru Tai, "Go and inform Lord Chu, just say that there are people from the general mixed in their group." ”

***

The rumors of the poetry meeting were quelled with the help of Le Tong, and it seemed that he really wanted to ask Ye Chi to do a notarization to change the shop, otherwise he would not have contributed to this point.

Although the fact that the firm made personal profits was not announced, many merchants had gossip, and Le Tong's request for Ye Chi as a witness at this time seemed less abrupt - he had really made up his mind to change shops.

Chu He was so drunk that night at the poetry meeting that he slept for three days in a row, and when he woke up, he was told that Kaoru had taken sick leave. He was still wondering how this powerful little girl got sick, and as soon as he heard that it was because of the glass of wine he gave Ye Chi, he went to the state pastor's mansion that day.

Kaoru was in a coma for two days, and Ye Chi occasionally wanted to call her up to drink medicine, but she didn't move, so she had no choice but to ask the doctor to give her an injection. Dr. Xu couldn't diagnose exactly what the poison was for a while, but he just applied some needles, took the prescription given by Le Tong and looked at it, obviously a little surprised.

Ye Chi asked, "But there is a problem with this recipe?"

"No, no, no, no problem at all. Doctor Xu shook his hand again and again, staring at the prescription with great joy, and said with a radiant expression, "Lord Ye, can you tell me who this prescription came from?"

"Le Jia's son, Le Tong. ”

"Oh......" Dr. Xu stroked his beard, as if he had found some treasure, "There was a rare epidemic in Qinzhou many years ago, and a doctor came up with an antidote prescription, but he didn't leave a name. ”

Ye Chi nodded silently, thinking that Lejia might have been a doctor with superb medical skills for generations, and after thanking Dr. Xu, he ordered Changsu to send people back.

When he woke up the next day, Changsu had already gone out to grab medicine. He hadn't been sleeping very well lately, thinking that the glass of wine shouldn't have been drunk by Kaoru Yutai, and he had mixed feelings in his heart, so he went to her room to see that the person was gone.

He was a little shocked, heard a noise in the backyard, and immediately went out to take a look. The lush peach grove had already borne peaches, hanging heavily from the trees, like small lanterns. And in this fragrant forest, there is a touch of red and bright shadows staggered in the shadows of the trees, and the fists are changing rapidly, and one move is soft and rigid.

She...... Is it good so soon?

Kaoru Yutai finally made a roundabout, landed steadily, walked towards Ye Chi, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"You...... Did you know you were poisoned the other day?"

"Yes. She nodded calmly, "I'm all right." ”

Ye Chi knew that he couldn't estimate her by ordinary people's standards, so he raised his forehead and said, "Changsu has already gone to get you medicine, and I will take it once in the morning and once in the evening." ”

"No, I don't like to drink pills. She refused very simply.

"Then you have to ...... too"

Ye Chi's words were interrupted by Chu He's sudden arrival, and the other party almost knelt on the ground in a tiger kneeling position, hugging his thighs and crying: "Lord Ye......! The officials in the world were so drunk that day that they didn't remember what happened at all, and they really didn't poison the adults! The officials in the family were old and young, and they couldn't break this backbone......

He looked like he was about to go to the execution ground, and he looked pitiful. Ye Chi just looked at him, without reproach, he stretched out his hand to help him up, and smiled kindly: "Master Chu doesn't need to panic, I just want to ask, can you hand me the list of attendants?"

Chu He sat on the ground, and without thinking about it, he pulled out a list and handed it to him.

"And ......"

Chu He suddenly pulled out a booklet and handed it over with both hands: "This is the account book of the lower official." ”

"No......" Ye Chi nodded his temple.

Chu He nodded, and took out another one: "This is my son's birth book." ”

Seeing that he was about to take out almost all his belongings to prove his innocence, Ye Chi waved his hand and said no, helped him into the house, and said helplessly: "I want to tell Lord Sù Chu that you should pay more attention to the people from the capital to avoid being involved." ”

Kaoru Yutai watched quietly from the sidelines. He seemed to agree that Chu He was not the one who poisoned him, but he never said enough, but Chu He didn't think about it so much, he was so moved that he had a handful of snot and tears, and he almost knelt down to worship his ancestors.

When Chu He left, Chang Su happened to come back from outside, came to the small hall with the medicine bag, and looked at the seemingly recovered Tai Kaoru very depressedly: "Lord Tai, you ...... So soon?"

Kaoru Yutai nodded, looked directly at the medicine bag in his hand, frowned, and said, "I don't drink medicine, you don't have to boil it." ”

Chang Su looked at Ye Chi aggrievedly, and said with a sullen head: "But...... This is opened by Le Gongzi. ”

"Le Gongzi?" Hearing this name, Kaoru Yutai paused slightly, as if he remembered something, and turned his head to look at Ye Chi, "I think he's a little strange." ”

"Strange?"

"I can't say it, I just feel that something is wrong. ”

Ye Chi's face was calm, and he said: "As the largest salt merchant in Qinzhou, Lejia will not rashly change hands, this matter is not simple, I have sent someone to pay attention to him." ”

Kaoru Tantai pondered for a moment, and specially took the medicine in Changsu's hand, stuffed it under the table, and signaled him not to touch it again. She looked at Ye Chi, suddenly remembered something, raised her hand to think for a moment, and stretched out to his chin.

Ye Chi shrank back almost reflexively, remembering the situation that night, he instantly became shy, and subconsciously covered his mouth. Seeing this, Kaoru withdrew his hand and said curiously, "You...... What's wrong?"

Ye Chi stared at her and said, "Have you noticed that you often say some strange things lately?"

"Oh......" Kaoru Yutai thought for a moment, and his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he was a little proud.

She was like a child, and her eyes were as bright as jewels when she encountered something funny.

"That's from the book, and the master also asked me to learn about the protagonist in it. ”

He said incredulously, "What book?"
