"Do you think about it now, did your stepfather act or say something strange that night that made you feel strange?"

Zhong Lingyao naturally shook his head: "Many people have already asked me the same question, the secret guard, the crown princess, and Lord Qin have all asked it repeatedly, when I knew that the crown prince was killed by Pei Xun, and I thought back to the situation that night many times, I still didn't find anything unusual about my father-in-law." ”

"Perhaps the only anomaly was that night, after my stepfather finished talking to me, he fell asleep very quickly." Zhong Lingyao recalled: "In the past, even if my father-in-law went to bed, it was difficult to sleep. ”

"Could it be that your stepfather drank the tranquilizer prescribed to him by Pei Hyun, so he fell asleep so quickly?"

"My father-in-law hasn't drunk that tranquilizer for four or five days, and I remember one day I boiled the tranquilizer and brought it to my father-in-law, but when I went to clean up the medicine bowl, there was no shortage of medicine in the bowl."

Since Pei Hyun was mentioned, Su Shi couldn't help but ask curiously: "In the winter moon of the previous year, did you brave the snow to go to Pei Hyun's pharmacy to get a plaster for your father-in-law?" ”

"Yes. That night, my father-in-law's back disease recurred, but the plaster prescribed by the imperial doctor in the palace had been used up, and my father-in-law was in unbearable pain. Then her expression became extremely annoyed: "If I hadn't braved the snow to buy the plaster at that time, my stepfather would not have gotten acquainted with Pei Hyun, and he wouldn't have been used by him." ”

"Even if you don't go that night, the outcome won't change." Su Shi comforted: "Actually, with Pei Hyun's ability, it is easy to befriend your father-in-law. ”

At this time, Ling Yao remembered one thing, and said: "Pei Xun was named Pei Mingde at the time, since he relieved his father-in-law's back disease, his father-in-law has had more contacts with him, and sometimes he will go to his pharmacy for a few drinks. ”

"Do you know about your father-in-law's offering of medicine?"

Zhong Lingyao nodded: "One day, several imperial doctors came to the house, and my father-in-law took them to Pei Xun's pharmacy and got a prescription to calm the nerves from Pei Xun. ”

"Who knew that this soothing remedy turned out to be a life-threatening remedy. The father-in-law later gave Pei Hyun a hundred taels of silver to make up for his loss. ”

Su Shi couldn't help but sigh: "So no one thought of tracking down Pei Hyun's pharmacy at that time. ”

After finishing speaking, Su Shi got up and thanked Zhong Lingyao: "Thank you Miss Zhong, for disturbing me late at night, and please forgive Miss Zhong." ”

Zhong Lingyao also hurriedly stood up, and replied after returning the salute: "Childe's words are serious." I only hate that I failed to help Childe. ”

Su Shi said: "I just came today to confirm a few things, and now that I have been confirmed from Miss Zhong, I naturally have to thank Miss Zhong." ”

As for Su Shi's confirmation of those things, Zhong Lingyao obediently did not ask any further, because as Su Shi said, there are some things that she knows as little as possible.

When Su Shi left the Flower Pavilion, it was already a child's time, after the carriage drove out of Nanping Street, the surroundings suddenly became silent, Su Shi sat in the carriage, and the crisp sound of horses' hooves came into his ears rhythmically.

His heart also calmed down, and this time he came to the Flower Pavilion, he confirmed two things, and also had a question.

One of the things that proved was that Pei Hyun didn't lie to him, and the other was that Zhong Lichuan did have a very serious insomnia.

The question that arises is why Zhong Lichuan has such severe insomnia?

According to Zhong Lingyao, Zhong Lingchuan had not had this disease before, why did he suddenly get this disease?

Only severe anxiety can lead to severe insomnia, and as a close attendant of the crown prince, what is he anxious about?

Did he know something he shouldn't know? Or does someone want him to do something he doesn't want to do?

On the night of the twenty-eighth day of the winter month, why did he suddenly become relaxed again?

Only when a person unloads all the burdens will he feel relaxed, so what burden has Zhong Lichuan unloaded?

And by such a coincidence, the crown prince died the next day.

Thinking of this, Su Shi suddenly couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, he didn't want to delve into many things, and what he warned Zhong Lingyao was just as applicable to him, but Su Shi's consciousness told him that he seemed to have fallen into a very dangerous situation now, and he didn't know who his most dangerous enemy was.

Back in the house, Su Shi got out of the carriage, turned back to Lin Mo and said, "Ask someone to send a greeting post and an invitation card early tomorrow morning." ”

Lin Mo was handing over the carriage, and was slightly stunned when he heard Su Shi's words: "Which mansion will the sticker be sent to?" Who does Childe want to feast on? ”

"Tomorrow, I want to visit the head of the Nangong family. Lord Zuo has invited me to a banquet, and I should be courteous, so I want to invite Lord Zuo back in the house tomorrow night. ”

It was still reasonable to ask Lord Zuo Lin Mo back, but visiting the head of the Nangong family made him scratch his head.

Lin Mo couldn't help but scratch his head: "What reason should be written on this poster?" ”

Since Lin Mo is lonely and unheard, he also knows that the head of a family is not so easy to see, and the Nangong family, as the number one family in the capital, if there is no special reason, the condolences sent out will be like a stone sinking into the sea, and there will be no response at all.

If it is a greeting sent by the old general, the head of the family will still pay attention to it, but even if the son's reputation is now rising, it may not be able to attract their attention.

Su Shi naturally understood this truth, and said slowly: "The reason for the visit is that I have a major business and want to cooperate with the Nangong family. ”

Hearing this reason, Lin Mo hesitated a little: "If it is a business cooperation, the head of the Nangong family may not receive the son, and most of the people who receive the son are the son of Yu." ”

Su Shi looked up at the sky, only to see that the moon was reddish, and there was a blurred halo around the moon, and said: "At the end of the worship post, it is written that the wind and rain will be great in the near future, and Su Shi greets the head of the Nangong family." ”

Lin Mo didn't know what he meant, but after Su Shi finished speaking, he didn't explain anymore and walked straight to his bedroom.

After returning to the dormitory, Su Shi washed up, lay on the bed and quickly fell asleep.

A dreamless night.

So Su Shi woke up full of energy, and after running around the general's mansion a few times, Lin Mo walked in as soon as he returned to the mansion and changed his clothes.

Looking at his calm and relaxed appearance, Su Shi said enviously: "It seems that this amount of exercise is simply too small for you." ”

Lin Mo just laughed and replied, "The stickers and invitations have already been sent out, and there will be news back later." ”

"Well, I'll just wait at the house."

"Just now, Her Royal Highness the princess sent a message to ask the prince to go to the quality warehouse to discuss things."

Su Shi was not surprised, and knew that Zhou Jin was looking for him to discuss something, and the matter of Qin Tianjian should also have a result, and this result was not very good for Zhou Jin.

As Bae Hyun's successor, the deacon is undoubtedly a very smart person, and naturally he can understand what he means, so he can quickly make corresponding arrangements.
