Chapter 10: Liuzhou's Suspicions (8)
Back at his home in Oda Village, it was getting late, the carriage stopped at the door of the house, and Youxi was already waiting at the door. I didn't go home all day, and my aunt had been worried all day.
After helping Jing Ziyan get out of the car, Liu Jingyi then got out of the carriage.
"Childe, Madame has prepared dinner, Childe will go to dinner first." You Xi said respectfully.
"No need, let Madame have dinner by herself, and I regret that you will follow me to the study." Jing Ziyan said with a calm face, and looked at Liu Jingyi again: "Yi'er, you go back to your room to eat and rest first." We're going to continue investigating the case tomorrow. β
When Aunt Yu heard this, she knew that something must have happened, so she silently followed Jing Ziyan and walked in the direction of the study.
In the study, Jing Ziyan sat at the desk, supporting his head with his hands, as if he was extremely tired. "Childe is tired today? Can I ask Miss Jing to come over and give you a massage? β
"No need." Jing Ziyan frowned, told Yu Xi what he had gained today, and said in a deep voice, "Auntie, what do you think of the Yan family's affairs?" β
"This matter is definitely aimed at the Yan family, but the poisoning of the son, the slave and the maid feel that it is also deliberately targeted, if there is no problem with the sachets of the Zuo family and the Liu family, then the sachets of the son are also deliberate." Said Youxi.
Jing Ziyan said coldly: "Yes, I think so too. It's just that why it was directed at me, it's not sure at the moment. For today's plan, the person who poisoned must be found out before the mastermind behind the scenes can be found. β
"Auntie, I want to move to the city." Jing Ziyan said suddenly. "You and Mo Yu and Han Che will go to the city tomorrow to find a house, and now I am a master in the Yamen of the Criminal Division, and I am living in the village, so it is inconvenient to go back and forth."
Aunt Youxi was taken aback. "Childe, why do you suddenly want to deal with people from the government?"
"The situation dictates that this case should be investigated, especially when it involves the Yan Mansion, which is the home of the official eunuchs, if I want to investigate the case, I have an official identity and it is convenient to act." Jing Ziyan paused, and then said, "What's more, hasn't my aunt always wanted me to restore my identity, and this matter is indispensable to deal with the official." β
"Childe is thinking...
"Auntie, even if I recover my identity one day, but I have no foundation, do you think I can do that position for a long time?" Jing Zi's tone was serious.
Youxi lowered his head and said respectfully, just according to the son's orders. "Auntie, I don't have any ideas at the moment, I just want to find out this case first, who is trying to kill me"
In fact, Jing Ziyan has no interest in identity and status, if possible, he just wants to live in seclusion in this small field village for the rest of his life, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, but he found that on such a day, he may not be able to protect his wife and children.
"Auntie, go down first and call Jingyi over."
After returning to the room, Liu Jingyi had no appetite for food, so she simply ate a few pieces of snacks, and then put her mind on the sachet again. But I couldn't think of why, so I wanted to divert my attention, and suddenly smelled a faint aroma.
She followed the scent and found a pot of blooming white plants on the windowsill. She hadn't seen such a beautiful flower yet, so she hurriedly asked, "Shiso, what kind of flower is this?" β
"Girl, this is called Nalan jacquard, today the slave maid went into the city to buy medicinal materials according to your instructions, passed by a flower house that sold flowers, saw that the flowers bloomed beautifully, the fragrance of the flowers was fragrant, thinking that the girl dealt with medicinal materials every day, and had never seen any flowers, so she wanted to buy them back for the girl." Shisu said with a grin.
"Nalan jacquard?" Liu Jingyi walked to the flower pot, took a sharp breath of the fragrance of the blooming flowers, and indulged in it. Suddenly, she remembered that in Sun Xinglai's living room, there was also a pot of flowers in such bloom, which was very similar to this pot of flowers, but the smell was different.
Thinking of this, Liu Jingyi eagerly wanted to return to Sun Xinglai's house to inspect again, she was afraid that if it was too late, the pot of flowers would be disposed of.
Thinking of this, she hurriedly said, "Zisu, you can follow me to Sun Xinglai's house again." β
Zi Su was embarrassed: "Girl, it's so late todayγγγγγγ β
Just as he was about to continue, the voice of his aunt outside the door remembered: "Miss Jing, Childe asked you to go to the study." β
It just so happens that you can tell Jing Ziyan about this discovery.
Liu Jingyi took Zisu to Jing Ziyan's study, knocked on the door and entered, Zisu was a girl, and she couldn't enter with Liu Jingyi as usual. Liu Jingyi entered the study by herself and found Jing Ziyan sitting at the desk in the study, frowning.
"Jingyi has seen Childe." Liu Jingyi bowed lightly.
"Excuse me." Jing Ziyan got up from the desk and walked out, came to the low couch facing the door and sat down. "Yi'er, I'm a little tired, you give me a pulse."
Liu Jingyi obediently walked up to Jing Ziyan, knelt lightly to Jing Ziyan's right side, pulled Jing Ziyan's left arm, supported his wrist with his left hand, and gently put his slender right hand on his wrist with a solemn expression.
After a long time, Liu Jingyi raised her head, and her beautiful deep eyes met Jing Ziyan's deep eyes, "Childe is tired today, his pulse is a little disordered, and Childe has been too worried in recent days." After Yi'er prescribes you a dose of calming and calming house, the son should go back to the room to rest early."
Jing Ziyan looked tired, closed his eyes, and said with some sadness: "Rest? When will I really get a break. β
At this time, Jing Ziyan took off his usual cold look, and after Liu Jingyi pulled him back from the Ghost Gate for the second time, Jing Ziyan had complete trust in Liu Jingyi, and in front of her, he could also remove his defense. "Yi'er, give me a thump on the shoulders and give me a massage."
"Yes."
Liu Jingyi had never seen Jing Ziyan so tired. A little distressed in her heart, she lifted the hem of her skirt, moved her body, and gently pushed Jing Ziyan up, because she was a doctor, Liu Jingyi was extremely measured in her strength, and after a while, Jing Ziyan's tiredness began to stretch.
Seeing that Jing Ziyan was so tired, Liu Jingyi couldn't bear to take the case anymore, under Liu Jingyi's massage, Jing Ziyan's tiredness gradually subsided, and he had never relaxed for several days, Jing Ziyan actually fell asleep while sitting.
Liu Jingyi couldn't bear to wake him up, called Shiso in, moved the small square table on the low couch, slowly laid Jing Ziyan flat, covered it with a quilt, and then the two of them exited the study.
"Shisu, I'll write a recipe, you go and prepare the medicinal materials according to the recipe, tomorrow I will decoct a dose of medicine for my son, and let him take it before he goes out."
After doing this, it has been three watches, and Liu Jingyi is thinking about the pot of flowers that Sun Xinglai came to the house in her heart, and she has no sleep. But Jing Ziyan couldn't rest assured here, and after overwork, he didn't know what problems would occur.
In the end, she couldn't rest assured, Liu Jingyi kept watch for Jing Ziyan all night outside the study. On a night in late autumn, it was particularly cold for her and Shisu, so they sat on the steps outside the study for a night.
"Girl, if it's cold, I'll get you a cloak."
"It's okay, I'm not cold. Shiso, go back and rest, I'm here to watch."
"Well, I'm going to stay here with the girl."
The two snuggled up to each other until the fifth watch, and Aunt Youxi came to serve Jing Ziyan and got up, and when she saw Liu Jingyi's master and servant sitting on the steps, she said in surprise: "Why is Miss Jing here?" β
"Aunt Young, yesterday the son was tired, the pulse was a little disordered, and finally fell asleep, I was afraid that the son would be unstable at night, so I guarded outside, fortunately, the son slept quite peacefully." Liu Jingyi said.
For the first time, I felt distressed for this little girl. This little girl's loyalty to her son-in-law, she sees it. "Shisu, it's cold in late autumn, and you don't know how to get a cloak for the girl." Shisu said angrily.
"Auntie, don't blame Shiso, I didn't let her take it." Liu Jingyi defended Shisu.
You Xi was about to say something, but she heard Jing Ziyan's voice from the study: "Who is outside?" β
Jing Ziyan woke up, heard someone talking outside, and got up from the low couch. He looked at the low couch suspiciously, he remembered that Jingyi gave himself a massage for a while last night, and he fell asleep, and when he fell asleep, he was sitting.
You Xi pushed the door and entered: "Childe, Miss Jing said that Childe was tired last night, and she was afraid that Childe would not be able to sleep comfortably at night, so she guarded you outside the door all night." β
"What!" Jing Ziyan's eyes were hot. "Yi'er, come in."
Liu Jingyi entered as she said and curtsied: "I've seen the son." Childe rested all night, do you feel better, let Jingyi give you a pulse. β
After speaking, Liu Jingyi asked Jing Ziyan to sit down, and he knelt beside Jing Ziyan, when Liu Jingyi's hand was on Jing Ziyan's wrist, a chill instantly passed down Jing Ziyan's wrist into Jing Ziyan's heart, and after a night's watch, Liu Jingyi's hand was already frozen cold.
"Yi'er, don't worry, you go back to the room to rest first, warm up, I feel okay now." Jing Ziyan said gently.
"After resting for one night, Childe's pulse is much more stable, Yi'er will give you a dose of medicine for a while, and after Childe takes it, it can relieve Childe's fatigue."
At this time, Liu Jingyi saw that Jing Ziyan's face had returned to normal, so she told Jing Ziyan about her suspicions last night: "Childe, I want to go to Sun Xinglai's sachet shop again, I remember that there is a pot of flowers in his living room." I'd like to check on the pot again. β
Jing Ziyan looked at Liu Jingyi puzzled, she told Jing Ziyan about the pot of flowers that Zisu bought, and said, "The flowers of Sun Xinglai's house are very similar to the pot of Nalan jacquard that Zisu bought, but the aroma is different. β
"Okay, today I will ask Han Che to accompany you to inspect Sun Xinglai's sachet shop." Jing Ziyan said: "I will go to Yanfu with Master Jiao. β
Jing Ziyan paused, and then said, "No matter how anxious you are, you have to go back to warm up your body first, and then go after breakfast." β
Liu Jingyi said that she still had to decoct Jing Ziyan.
After returning to the room, Shisu hurriedly brought her a hand stove, hugged the hand stove, and gradually warmed up, Liu Jingyi asked Shisu to prepare pen and ink, write a good prescription, and let Shisu grab the medicine, fortunately, they are all common medicinal materials at home. For the sake of safety, for so many years, the medicine used by Jing Ziyan has been fried by Liu Jingyi himself and served in front of Jing Ziyan.
This time was no exception.
