Chapter 245: Discovering the Clues

Zhang Qian's Qingjun face was surprised, "Then the county lord, how can I go back to my life?" ”

Lin Yue had an idea, "Give me the bowl, I will pour this bowl of lotus root flour balls, and you take the empty bowl back to recover your life." Lin Yue said to do it, and before Zhang Qian could calm down, he had already poured the brown sugar lotus root powder balls on the ground, and took some straw to cover them, covering people's eyes.

"Zhang Qian, listen, now you haven't done a good job of the task given to you by your father-in-law, if someone knows, you will definitely not be able to escape the involvement, so you and I are grasshoppers on the same rope, if you are towards me, the first person I will report when I go out in the coming day is you, if you turn your back on me, you will not end well if I die."

Lin Yue's eyes were resolute, she just wanted to survive the catastrophe safely, no one came to save her, but she was obstructed several times, and now it seems that she can only consider her own situation as the starting point in everything.

"The slave knows, so he won't betray the county lord, I will send the lotus root flour balls that my father-in-law gave me in the future as usual, and the county director will dispose of it, and then there is this lotus root flour balls is the only meal of the county lord, one or two meals are fine, if you don't eat it every day, the slave can't think about it."

Zhang Qian frowned as he spoke, he was just a newcomer in this palace, and he hadn't mixed up enough to get two meals, and he couldn't eat enough!

"I know how to do it, when you go back to your father-in-law, you ask me for more complementary food, just say that I put it in the lotus root flour balls and eat it, so that I can dispel his suspicions, and secondly, I also have something to eat." Lin Yue had an idea and thought of this way of doing both.

"Yes, minion ......"

Zhang Qian's words were interrupted by the jailers who came not far away, and he had to hurriedly pack up his things and walk out.

"Yo, isn't this the new guy who grabs the dog's leg every day to deliver food to the county lord, is there any benefit to eating the county lord?" Zhang Qian was jokingly stopped as he passed by those people, and he smelled the smell of alcohol in the air.

Lin Yue listened from afar, his heart tightened, and he just begged him not to fight and make trouble with those people.

"Hahaha, my brothers are too worried, she is a fallen county lord, what benefits can she give me? It's just that I'm a newcomer to the errand, and I can do whatever I was asked to do, and I can't choose half of it! Zhang Qian held back the anger in his heart, and said with a smile on his face.

"Really? Look at you, too, you're going to do something, look at it for a few brothers, we just came over after drinking, and now our heads are dizzy, and we have to rest. One of them, who was quite conscious, said.

"This ...... Brothers, I still have something on hand, if I delay......"

"What delay or not, you have to think about it, you are working in this prison, and you will be under the hands of your brothers in the future, if you offend us today, I am afraid that you will have a hard time in the future." Zhang Qian's words were ruthlessly interrupted.

The others had to bow their heads under the eaves, so they had to nod and agree, "Okay, okay, then you go to rest, I will guard it for you." ”

"It's good to be reliable." Lin Yue looked at the movement of things, rubbed his cold little hands and sighed.

When Zhang Qian went to return the food box, his father-in-law had been waiting for a long time.

"But what's wrong, why are you here now?" As he spoke, his father-in-law looked around, the sky was getting dark, and it was the time when the palace attendants were changing, so it was inconvenient for him to stay longer.

"No, it's just a few jailers who are in trouble, ask me to take care of them, my father-in-law is changing shifts now, you go back quickly, just hand me the food box in your hand, and I'll send it back to the county lord." Zhang Qian said as he shrunk his neck, autumn was deep and the wind was cool.

"Okay, remember to watch the county lord finish eating, otherwise watch your head carefully." Father-in-law Jin Zhong handed over the food box, and the words on his lips had been repeated many times.

I don't know if it's because it's too cold in autumn or because Jinzhong's father-in-law's words are too ruthless, when Zhang Qian took the food box and returned the food box sent at noon to Jinzhong's father-in-law, his hands were trembling slightly, and after walking a few steps, he suddenly remembered that Lin Yue hadn't done what he had told him, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop Jinzhong.

"Father-in-law of Jinzhong, father-in-law of Jinzhong......"

"Damn little calf, you can't learn to speak quietly, don't you want to kill me? Say whatever you want! Jin Zhong glanced at him impatiently.

"The county lord wants to ask for more complementary food, and she wants to add it to the balls to eat." Zhang Qian leaned over and lowered his head, not seeing the suspicious look on Jin Zhong's face.

"Okay, I know, you go back, I'll think about it." The dust in Jin Zhong's hand was shaken, and he left without looking back.

Zhang Qian was stunned for a while, but he couldn't bear the autumn wind, and went to the prison with the food box.

……

In the East Palace, the crown prince soon received the news.

"What? She wants to add some complementary food? The prince looked stunned, he couldn't believe it, wondering if he was wrong in pharmacology, how could he add more complementary food? Can Lin Yue's small body be eaten?

"Yes, the jailer I bought told me." Jin Zhong put down the food box, walked to the table and picked up a stove to warm his hands.

"How credible is that man?" The prince is still suspicious, according to common sense, eating too much lotus root flour will cause flatulence, often have a feeling of bloating, and if it is excessive, it will cause nausea and vomiting, Lin Yue has been eating for four or five days in a row, how can he still have such a good appetite?

"Seven points, the person I looked for from outside the palace, an orphan. Because I sent him a lot of money, he was also able to do things, and every time he sent it, it was the bowl that the county lord had eaten. Jin Zhong held the stove in his hand, and gradually felt a little warmer on his body, and he talked more.

"It's noon, isn't it?" The prince pointed to the food box on the ground and asked, because it was placed in the prison, the bottom of the food box was stained with some soil, and Jin Zhong did not put it on the table.

Father-in-law Jin Zhong nodded, he didn't have the right to decide, so he replied to Zhang Qian that the matter of adding supplementary food should be considered.

"Are you really all done? For some reason, I always feel like there's something wrong here. As he spoke, the prince opened the food box, and when he saw the blue and white bowl, he understood everything.

"Lin Yue didn't touch what she sent, or maybe she had already discovered that something was wrong with the lotus root flour balls." The prince said excitedly and affirmatively that sure enough, the woman he fell in love with could not be a concubine.

"How can you say this, Your Highness, the little jailer sends back empty bowls every day, could it be that he lied to me?" Jin Zhong was very old, and when he heard the prince's words, he was so shocked that he almost couldn't stand on his feet, and even the stove in his hand almost slipped off.

"Father-in-law, look at this bowl." The prince was angry and wanted to laugh, but Lin Yue was on guard against him.

"The old slave is stupid, I still don't understand, this is an empty bowl, besides, if the county lord doesn't eat this lotus root flour ball, what else can she eat in the prison, she can't stand hungry." Father-in-law Jin Zhong waved his hand, but he still didn't see anything wrong.
