Chapter 288: Poisoning
As soon as Shan Weihuan entered the house, he saw Yu Qiuyu writing and drawing on a piece of straw paper by candlelight.
What is this girl doing?
Is it practicing dancheong or calligraphy?
Thinking about it, Shan Weihuan took a closer look, and what Yu Qiuyu drew on his paper was all things he couldn't understand.
"What is this?"
Yu Qiuyu was stunned for a moment, pulled back from his thoughts, and looked back to see that it was Shan Weihuan, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm going to do a big project, and it's the design."
Yu Qiuyu didn't say what the specific big project was, anyway, even if he said it clearly, Shan Weihuan couldn't understand it.
"Big project? Childe went to Puyao with you for this? ”
Shan Weihuan remembered that Song Zhe was suspected by Zhao Zhichen during the time when he followed Yu Qiuyu to Puyao, and after Yu Qiuyu came back from Puyao, except for going to the boat boss a few times and asking the craftsmen to work, there was no other big action, which made them very curious, Yu Qiuyu and Song Zhe went to Puyao together just to travel and enjoy the great rivers and mountains of Puyao, did they not do anything else?
Yu Qiuyu was stunned again, and then nodded.
"Yes, your son-in-law and I went to Puyao, I didn't expect you to know. However, we do have something to do when we go to Puyao, and as for what we are going to do, I will not be able to tell you until what we are going to do is successful. ”
At this time, keep it mysterious.
After all, if he swore in front of Shan Weihuan and confidently told his plan, if he didn't succeed in the future, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?
Yu Qiuyu is a person who wants to save face, and he will never do anything to slap himself in the face.
Shan Weihuan originally wanted to ask something, but looking at Yu Qiuyu's expression and attitude, he shouldn't want to say it, Shan Weihuan flattened his mouth and simply didn't ask.
However, Shan Weihuan's stomach growled.
He was hungry.
He touched his stomach, looked at the sky outside, and then looked at Yu Qiuyu, who was still planning to revise and modify, and couldn't help but complain: "Anyway, when are you going to cook, shouldn't you stop cooking for us because we are Gongzi's guards?" ”
She doesn't forget to sleep and eat so much, she forgets to sleep and eat alone, she can't care about the life and death of a few of them!
They still need to spend their energy to protect Yu Qiuyu!
Yu Qiuyu glanced up at the sky, Mom, she seems to have forgotten to cook!
Thinking that Shan Weihuan and these guards had been hungry outside all day, Yu Qiuyu suddenly became a little embarrassed, it was her fault.
"Okay, I'll cook for you right away!"
Yu Qiuyu put down the charcoal and hurriedly ran into the kitchen.
She had been studying the layout of the duck farm all day, so she didn't buy vegetables or anything, she looked around the kitchen and found that there were still a few grass carp she bought from the market in the tank, and there were sauerkraut in the jar that she made herself.
Or......
Yu Qiuyu had an idea pop into his mind.
Otherwise, she will make a sauerkraut fish, after all, it is faster to cook, and the fish is cooked faster.
Yu Qiuyu quietly went out and counted the number of guards.
It didn't take long for plates of sauerkraut fish to come out of the pot.
Looking at the sauerkraut fish, which is full of color and flavor, the guards have feasted on the rice.
No one thought that this kind of food that can only be eaten in the Confucian Food Pavilion can be tasted here in Yu Qiuyu.
After eating the sauerkraut fish, Shan Weihuan touched his round belly, thought of Song Zhe, who always treated them harshly, and then looked at Yu Qiuyu, who was always making good food for them, Shan Weihuan came up with the idea of changing jobs.
If they come to Yu Qiuyu as a guard, even if Yu Qiuyu only pays himself a few taels of silver every month as a reward, they are willing to be a guard for Yu Qiuyu, as long as Yu Qiuyu makes it for them every day, whether it is dim sum, sauerkraut fish, or stewed in three sauces.
Shan Weihuan looked at the other guards, and the eyes of the other guards were no different from Shan Weihuan.
Well, they all want to be Yu Qiuyu's guards, and eating the food made by Yu Qiuyu every day, it is simply the ultimate enjoyment of the reservation.
Yu Qiuyu has Song Zhe's guards here, but Liu Wenjing doesn't have the courage to continue to make things difficult for Yu Qiuyu.
Liu Wenjing did not come, and the people of Northern Xinjiang did not dare to come, and the Yu family seemed very quiet.
Just when Yu Qiuyu and all the guards, including Shan Weihuan, thought that the people from the Northern Xinjiang and the death camp would not come back, another uninvited guest came to Lingnan again.
The person who came was Zhao Xuedie, the small county lord of Chunyu who had returned to the capital for a period of time and had recently quietly slipped to Lingnan.
On a sunny morning, in the prefect's yamen, seeing Zhao Xuedie, who was hiring Tingting with a smile, Song Zhe and Zhao Zhichen helplessly supported their foreheads at the same time, sighed, and shook their heads.
Why is this stinky girl here again? Can you just let them save some snacks?
Now is the time for an eventful time in Lingnan.
When Yu Qiuyu heard the news, as soon as he entered the prefect's yamen, he saw the ugly faces of Song Zhe and Zhao Zhichen, and then looked at Zhao Xuedie, who was unconscious, and was also a little helpless.
"Your Royal Highness, why are you here?"
Zhao Xuedi came, Yu Qiuyu's days in Lingnan will not be boring, Yu Qiuyu is very happy, but he still needs to ask Zhao Xuedie's intentions.
"Oh, someone asked me to come."
Yu Qiuyu's unintentional inquiry reminded Zhao Xuedie.
"Who begged you to come?"
Zhao Zhichen stared at Zhao Xuedie, and said at the right time, who has such a big face, and can actually let Zhao Xuedie come to Lingnan from the capital thousands of miles away?
"It's Lord Xun, Lord Xun came to me, saying that he wanted me to go to Lingnan, visit Miss Xun by the way, and ask me to hand over a letter to Miss Xun. In other words, where is Xun Jialu? ”
No way?
Who has such a big face to let Zhao Xuedi move to Lingnan, but he didn't expect it to be Xun Jialu's father?
Yu Qiuyu's suspicious speculation: Xun Jialu's father has never paid much attention to Xun Jialu, and has always regarded Xun Jialu as a chess piece to win over the powerful, how could he think of having such a daughter as Xun Jialu this time, and begged Zhao Xuedi to come to Lingnan to see Xun Jialu?
Did the news of Xun Jialu's accident in Lingnan spread back to the capital?
But according to Lord Xun's attitude towards his daughter, such behavior is not in line with Lord Xun's style!
According to his temperament, he would definitely apologize to Zhao Zhichen and Song Zhe first, instead of asking Zhao Xue to go out of the mountain to save his daughter.
Song Zhe subconsciously glanced at Yu Qiuyu, but saw full of suspicion on Yu Qiuyu's face.
Even Yu Qiuyu was suspicious of Lord Xun, let alone the two of them.
There must be a demon when things go wrong, this Lord Xun must have a problem.
Zhao Zhichen thought and looked up at Zhao Xuedi again.
"You say, Lord Xun asked you to send a letter to Xun Jialu?"
"Yes." Zhao Xuedian nodded honestly, indicating that this was indeed the case.
Zhao Zhichen didn't say a word, and directly stretched out his hand to ask Zhao Xuedian for a letter, "Give me the letter." ”
Now if you want to know the truth, Bacheng has to start with the letter from Lord Xun to Xun Jialu.
Although this is a bit immoral, Yu Qiuyu thinks that this should be a commonplace thing in ancient times.
"So, it's not big, is it?"
Zhao Xuedi subconsciously wanted to take the letter, but when her hand touched the envelope, she hesitated again.
A strong sense of morality was at work in Zhao Xuedie's mind.
"Give it to me!"
Zhao Zhichen was resolute and did not give Zhao Xuedi room to refuse.
Okay, I confirmed the eyes, Zhao Zhichen is the person Zhao Xuedi can't provoke and dare not provoke.
Zhao Xuedi was helpless and handed over the letter.
Zhao Zhichen took the letter in Zhao Xuedie's hand and opened the envelope without hesitation.
Strange, why is there a strange smell on the envelope?
Yu Qiuyu was hesitating, after Zhao Zhichen opened the envelope, a white powdery object collapsed, because it was in the sun, under the refraction of light, these white objects were particularly obvious.
Yu Qiuyu's eyes were sharp, and he suddenly noticed the powder that was drilling into Zhao Zhichen's nose, and some of it fell to Zhao Xuedie.
Something is wrong, this is very wrong.
Yu Qiuyu covered her nose and snatched the letter from Zhao Zhichen's hand.
"Yu Qiuyu, what are you doing......"
Zhao Zhichen was about to ask Yu Qiuyu what he was going to do, but he felt a burning pain in his chest as if he was being burned by flames.
Zhao Zhichen subconsciously covered his chest, cough cough, uncomfortable speechless.
"Your Highness!"
Song Zhe hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhao Zhichen, and in such a situation, Song Zhe was also a little at a loss, and subconsciously looked at Yu Qiuyu.
Zhao Zhichen's behavior is strange, and Yu Qiuyu's behavior is also strange.
"Yu Qiuyu, what the hell is going on? Why is this happening to Your Highness, and what are you doing? ”
"Oh no, this letter is poisonous!"
Yu Qiuyu hurriedly tore off a piece of cloth from his clothes, wrapped the letter, and then stuffed the letter back into the envelope.
She stepped forward to look at Zhao Zhichen's situation and was immediately shocked.
Subsequently, Zhao Xuedian also felt uncomfortable, and like Zhao Zhichen, he covered his chest, his face was ugly.
"County Lord!"
Yun Ruiyi, the guard standing beside Zhao Xuedie, also stepped forward to hug Zhao Xuedie, and Zhao Xuedie did not fall to the ground like Zhao Zhichen.
Now it's all right.
Both people who touched the envelope were poisoned!
What the hell is going on, Yu Qiuyu is not very clear.
"I just saw that this letter was stained with some white powder, and I wanted to stop you, but it was still a step too late."
Speaking of this, Yu Qiuyu was also very annoyed, if he had said it in time, maybe Zhao Zhichen and Zhao Xuedian would not have been poisoned.
"This letter was given by Lord Xun and was given to Xun Jialu...... Could it be ......"
Song Zhe stared at the envelope that was thrown aside by Yu Qiuyu, and his brows furrowed tightly.
Yu Qiuyu also guessed.
Could it be that Lord Xun knew that Xun Jialu was an outcast, so he wanted to poison Xun Jialu!
It is said that tiger poison does not eat children, this Lord Xun is really a vicious person.
"We can't care about these things for the time being, we have to think about how to treat Lord Zhao and Xiaoxue!"
Regardless of whether this Lord Xun wants to kill his daughter or calculates Zhao Zhichen, their most important task is to treat Zhao Zhichen and Zhao Xuedie.
