Chapter 37: Poisoning

Despite Nalan Jin's persuasion, Dongfang Yi still did not change his determination to send things back, Nalan Jin was a little helpless, so he could only follow his words and let his subordinates send the supplements back.

Nalan Jin woke up for so long and said so many words, she was indeed very tired, and she fell asleep again after talking to Dongfang Yi.

Dongfang Yi looked at Nalan Jin's sleeping face, but his mood was not as desperate as in the afternoon, he looked at it for a while, turned around and walked out of the bedroom, ready to deal with the assassin's affairs.

As soon as I walked out of the door, I saw the subordinate who had come to inform the princess's mansion to send something to him and forgot to come to the bedroom, his face was full of bitterness.

Dongfang Yi understood at a glance that the princess's mansion must have sent things back again, and after the anger just now, Dongfang Yi also calmed down a little, and did not leave again, standing and waiting for the next person to come.

The subordinate with a bitter face kept his head down, thinking about what to say, until he was about to bump into Dongfang Yi before he raised his head, was startled, and quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.

Dongfang Yi didn't blame her, and called directly.

The subordinate hurriedly got up and reported with some hesitation: "Master, those supplements from the princess's mansion have been sent back again, do we still want to send them back?" Thinking of the confident words of the maid of the princess's mansion just now, her heart was expectant and hesitant.

Dongfang Yi didn't care about the fluctuations in the hearts of his subordinates, and said directly: "Take it, tell the person who came to deliver it that it was a woman named Qingqing." After speaking, he turned around and walked directly to the study.

After listening to Dongfang Yi's words, the subordinate was stunned for a moment, reacted and hurriedly ran to the door, his heart full of excitement.

The maid of the princess's mansion received the news from Dongfang Yi, and she didn't dare to delay, so she immediately rushed back to the mansion and reported the news to the princess.

"A woman named Qingqing? Who is it? Immediately notify me and mobilize everyone to find this woman named Qingqing, I want to see who wants to harm me!" The princess groaned for a moment and ordered in a cold voice.

Dongfang Yi and the princess tried their best to search, but there was no news from them.

Dongfang Yi was dealing with the backlog of urgent matters in his hands, and suddenly someone from below came to report that there was something important.

After listening to the briefing, Dongfang Yi was a little strange, but he still called in.

The subordinate in charge of the treasury walked in quickly, his expression was a little angry, and as soon as he walked to Dongfang Yi's side, he said: "Master, the slave maid just checked the supplements sent by the princess, and found that some of the supplements were problematic, and someone had ordered something that should not be in them. ”

Hearing this, Dongfang Yi stood up suddenly, didn't say much, followed the warehouse steward and walked out, and instructed the people at the door to call the doctor in the house to go to the warehouse, and he followed the steward directly to the warehouse.

The steward only saw that there was a problem with the supplement, but he couldn't accurately judge what was added to the supplement, and Dongfang Yi also sent someone to inform the princess while waiting for the doctor to come.

The anger in Dongfang Yi's heart has completely reached a critical point, Nalan Jin is already fragile now, he doesn't dare to think about the consequences of letting Nalan Jin take the added tonic if he doesn't find the problem in the supplement.

The peace he had tried to maintain was broken until the doctor gave an affirmative answer, and the doctor looked carefully at the tonic that had been singled out as problematic, and gave a judgment: "A small amount of broken intestine powder has been added to these supplements. ”

Seeing that Dongfang Yi's expression was a little puzzled, the doctor hurriedly explained: "Broken Gusan is a very toxic poison, although the amount of these supplements is small, it can still cause death, even if it is a young man, it is difficult to resist its toxicity." ”

As soon as the doctor's words fell, the princess hurried over, and when she heard the doctor's words, she was a little puzzled, and looked at the things in front of her, and recognized that it was the tonic she had sent, and suddenly a sense of foreboding arose.

Without waiting for Dongfang Yi to speak, the princess preemptively asked, "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong with these supplements? ”

Dongfang Yi was not afraid of the princess, not to mention that this was a matter related to Nalan Jin's name, he snorted coldly, his face seemed to be covered with ice, and he said in a cold tone: "Didn't you hear it?" These supplements have all been broken! Give me an explanation. ”

Although Dongfang Yi was very angry, thinking of the relationship between Nalan Jin and the princess, he still gave the princess room to explain and did not attack directly.

The princess was very confused at this time, she didn't expect that there would be a problem in the tonic she sent, and couldn't help but take two steps forward, wanting to take a closer look at the tonic.

The princess didn't see it, but the maid who was in charge of preparing the tonic found the problem and exclaimed, "These are not the supplements of our princess's mansion!"

Hearing this, both the princess and Dongfang Yi stared at the maid, and the princess asked urgently, "What's the situation?" Where do these supplements come from? ”

Looking at the princess's questioning expression, the maid was a little scared, knelt down suddenly, and replied with some hesitation: "These supplements were sent to the princess by the General's Mansion, saying that you were frightened and came to appease you, and the slave didn't dare to return it, and didn't want the princess to have anything to do with the General's Mansion again, so she hid it and sent the tonic to Miss Nalan." ”

After listening to the maid's words, the princess understood the situation, and hurriedly apologized to Dongfang Yi: "I'm really sorry, it's because my majesty is not strict, let me take these supplements away and deal with them, and I will send double the supplements to someone else as compensation." ”

Since it was not the princess's doing, Dongfang Yi didn't need to hold on to it, he responded directly, and didn't say much about the things to deal with, with the princess's ability, she would definitely be able to find out the real black hand.

Moreover, Dongfang Yi always felt that this matter was somewhat related to the assassination of the princess, but seeing that the princess did not take the initiative to mention it, Dongfang Yi also understood that the princess wanted to solve it by herself, so he didn't ask more.

Seeing that the matter was resolved, the princess happened to come over, so she proposed to go to see Nalan Jin, and the two walked to Nalan Jin's bedroom together, as for the maid who was kneeling on the ground, when she saw that the princess was gone, she quickly got up and followed, and her heart was full of apprehension.

The princess sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Nalan Jin's pale face, feeling extremely guilty and grateful, if it weren't for Nalan Jin, she would be lying on the bed now.

The princess sat for a while, but Nalan Jin never woke up, after all, the princess still had something to deal with, so she was a little entangled.

Dongfang Yi saw it and took the initiative to speak: "Princess, go back first, I will take care of my wife, go back and find the mastermind behind the scenes as soon as possible, so as to avenge my wife." ”

The princess naturally understood Dongfang Yi's mood, and because of the supplements, she probably already had some eyebrows, so she didn't shirk it, and got up and left directly.

The princess soon returned to the princess's mansion, ignoring the maids beside her all the way, and did not speak until she returned to the mansion: "Early tomorrow morning, you will bring someone to invite the general and the general's wife to come to the mansion as guests." ”
