Zhou Fu understood that she suspected that there might be something wrong with eating, so he thought about it carefully and said, "On weekdays, I and my subordinates use the same food, so there should be no problem with the food." ”

Qin Miaomiao stroked her chin and said, "Then this is a little strange, there has to be a place for poisoning." ”

Zhou Fu suddenly remembered something and said: "By the way, I have a leg disease, and I usually have to take the prepared medicine pack after dinner every day, and I have been taking it for more than half a year." ”

"Medicine packs?" Qin Miaomiao's heart sank, and said, "Quickly bring it to me." ”

Zhou Fu went to get the medicine bag over, opened the paper bag, there were a lot of medicinal materials in it, Qin Miaomiao carefully identified it, and found that it was indeed a medicine for treating leg diseases.

Zhou Fu saw that she was silent for a long time, and said a little anxiously: "How is it?" See what? ”

Qin Miaomiao couldn't be sure, so she said: "I'm a little unsure about a few of the medicinal herbs, so as not to make a mistake, I have to take it back and check the medical book again." ”

Zhou Fu said gratefully: "Then it's troublesome for you." ”

Qin Miaomiao carefully wrapped the paper bun, and then said: "I'll give you the news as soon as possible, but until I confirm that it's not poisonous, don't use it for the time being." ”

Zhou Fu nodded in agreement, but suddenly thought of something, and asked with some hesitation: "Is there really a problem with this medicine?" ”

Qin Miaomiao stuffed the medicine bag into her small cloth bag, and then said: "I need a few days to give you an answer, this medicine seems to be good medicine, there is nothing wrong with it, it may not be easy to check." ”

Although Zhou Fu was anxious, he also knew that this matter would take time, so he said: "Okay, then I'll send you away, lest Zhou Mingchang stop you again." ”

"No, no, you can just ask someone to take me out, I don't think he will come to me again." Qin Miaomiao looked at his legs, and she noticed that the housekeeper had hammered him twice, and she seemed to be a little uncomfortable.

Zhou Fu was indeed uncomfortable, so he didn't force it: "That's okay, then I won't send you, you pay attention." ”

"Okay, then I'll go."

Qin Miaomiao didn't delay any longer, she left the Zhou Mansion quickly, she hurriedly went back to check this recipe, walked all the way home, and just after entering, she saw her mother sitting in the courtyard.

She hurriedly walked over and asked, "Mother, are you feeling better?" ”

Zhang patted the back of her hand, her face was much rudder, and even her spirit was better than before: "Mother is much better, this snow clam really works." ”

Qin Miaomiao relieved her heart at this time: "As long as your body is getting better and better, it is stronger than anything else." ”

Zhang stretched out his hand and touched her face gently, "It's you, why did you come back so late today?" ”

Qin Miaomiao then remembered the medicine in the cloth bag, so she made an excuse and said: "It's late to see a patient, mother, you can sit down for a while and go back to rest, I'll go eat something." ”

"Okay, let's go."

Qin Miaomiao turned around and entered the stove room, and after finishing the meal, she went back to the house to see and identify the medicinal materials, while flipping through the medical books, she found that these medicinal materials were all good medicines for invigorating blood and removing blood stasis.

Could it be that the herbs are mutually restrictive?

She carefully looked through the medical book again, and found that these medicinal materials would not be compatible no matter how they were matched, and now she also had a headache, and she couldn't help but look at the pile of medicinal materials.

Nan Xuan came back late at night, and as soon as she came in, she saw her sitting at the table in a daze, with a mess of medicinal herbs on the table, and asked, "Why are there so many medicinal herbs?" Are you sick? ”

Qin Miaomiao came back to her senses, saw that he was worried, and hurriedly said, "No, no, you want to go wrong, I'm fine." ”

"Then what are you doing with so many pills?"

"I didn't catch it." Qin Miaomiao briefly explained Zhou Fu's matter, sighed sadly and said, "I took it back to see if there was any poison in this medicine, but I looked at it for a long time, and it was all very good medicinal materials, and there was no restraint." ”

She thought the herb should be fine.

Nan Xuanye said: "The things that are restrained may not be in the medicinal materials. ”

Qin Miaomiao was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?" ”

"Steward Zhou has to eat so many things every day, and it doesn't necessarily have to be put in the medicinal herbs, so it is easy to be found out."

Qin Miaomiao fell into deep thought, her fingers subconsciously pulled the medicinal herbs, what he said was very reasonable, if the things that were restrained were taken separately, it would really be unaware, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was very likely.

Nan Xuanye didn't bother when he saw her distracted, he took out a paper bag from his arms and put it on the table, and as soon as he opened it, a fragrance of osmanthus cake filled the air.

Qin Miaomiao came back to her senses and smelled the fragrance, and after seeing it, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva: "You bought osmanthus cake, this is so expensive." ”

"It's not expensive." Nan Xuanye pushed the paper bag over: "I went to buy this today and came back a little late, you can taste it, it is very delicious, and there are many people who buy it." ”

Qin Miaomiao took a few pieces and sent them to the Zhang family first, and then came back to eat the osmanthus cake, which was extremely sweet in the mouth, and smacked her lips and said, "It's really delicious, you can eat it too." ”

Nan Xuanye looked at her gently, wiped the pastry residue stuck to the corner of her mouth, and whispered: "The day of the dart is set, and we will set off in five days." ”

"Smack!"

The pastry in Qin Miaomiao's hand fell on the table, and she asked a little stunned, "So fast?" "I told her that she was not prepared at all.

Nan Xuanye said softly: "Well, the steward arranged it, and I also want to go early and return early." ”

Qin Miaomiao suppressed the reluctance that surged up in her heart, cheered up and asked, "Is the place where you want to go far away?" What do you need me to prepare for you? You haven't packed your bags yet, I'll go and pack them for you. ”

She hurriedly stood up and was about to clean up, Nan Xuanye's heart was soft, she reached out and gently grabbed her, and said softly: "You don't have to help me clean up anything, you just wait for me to come back at home." ”

"Okay." Qin Miaomiao flattened her mouth, and listened to him again: "When I come back, I will bring you good things." ”

Qin Miaomiao's heart was full of expectation: "Okay, then I'll wait for you, you must come back safely, and you must not be injured." ”

"Okay."

……

Two days later, Qin Miaomiao was about to go to Zhou's mansion, but before she went out, she saw a person coming from afar, and when the person got closer, she saw that it was Zhou Fu.

"Steward Zhou, why are you here?"

Zhou Fu smiled and said, "I happened to go to the town to buy something, so I came to see you by the way, and I want to ask how the medicinal materials are doing?" ”

Qin Miaomiao decided to tell the truth: "Actually, your medicinal materials are not poisonous, they are all very precious medicines. ”

Zhou Fu was a little disappointed and said, "I thought I found out." ”

Qin Miaomiao noticed that he was carrying a paper bag in his hand, and looked very similar to the one he got back last night in Nan Xuan, so he asked casually, "What is this?" Osmanthus cake? ”

Zhou Fu lifted the paper bag and shook it and said: "This is a cloud cake, I like it very much, I have to buy it every three or five days, I will leave a few pieces for you, you can eat it, it is very delicious." ”

Qin Miaomiao hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Don't, how embarrassing is that, you can take it back quickly." ”

Zhou Fu ignored her, took a few pieces of snow-white pastries and handed them to her: "Take it, don't be polite to me, I'll go back to the house, I'll come to see you when I'm free." After that, he didn't wait for Qin Miaomiao to refuse, turned around and left.

Qin Miaomiao had no choice but to take it back to the house.

In the evening, Nan Xuanye came back, she ate a piece in her mouth, and handed him a piece: "This is given by Steward Zhou today, you can taste it, it's quite delicious." ”

Nan Xuanye took it but didn't move, and said: If you like it, I'll buy you some tomorrow. ”

Qin Miaomiao shook her head and said, "No, I'm okay to eat occasionally, but ......" she looked at the pastry and frowned, "I always feel that this taste is a little familiar, but I can't remember what it tastes for a while." ”

Nan Xuanye couldn't help but laugh when he saw her sitting there with a serious face, and simply tasted it, the rich taste was in his mouth, and he muttered: "This seems to be made of cloves." ”

Qin Miaomiao was reminded by him like this, and instantly remembered: "Yes! It's cloves. After speaking, he suddenly remembered something, and suddenly stood up and exclaimed, "I understand, I understand how Steward Zhou was poisoned!" ”

Nan Xuanye raised his eyebrows slightly: "Let's hear it?" ”

Qin Miaomiao's face was solemn and said: "There is a medicinal herb in that medicine bag, named Yujin, I have checked the medical book, and there is no problem with Yujin taking it alone, but it is compatible with cloves, as long as the two are taken together, it will produce severe poison." ”
