Gu Yanfei rinsed her mouth, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and then said with a smile: "Sister, it's rare for you to come to Danyang City, should we go for a walk?"

Gu Yunzhen pursed his lips hesitantly, and then heard Gu Yanfei say again: "I have lived here for three months, and I haven't been out much. I heard that there are many delicacies in Danyang City, such as salted duck, goose fat cake, sweet-scented osmanthus sweet potato...

The crispy dried fish are delicious."

The milk cat's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he helped play the drums with a "meow" sound, looking at Gu Yunzhen expectantly.

Facing this man and cat, Gu Yunzhen was completely unable to say the word "no" and responded with a smile: "I'll ask someone to tell grandma that let's go for a walk in the city."

Gu Yunzhen sent the little maid to report to Mrs. Gu, and he and Gu Yanfei went out in the carriage.

Before leaving the house, Gu Yanfei made a hexagram and told the driver: "Go west."

The hexagram shows that the turning point for Danyang City in this calamity lies in the west.

Gu Yun really thought that Gu Yanfei was a child at heart and wanted to relax in the city, so he was free to let her do it.

So, under the command of Gu Yanfei, the carriage turned left and right, passed through several streets, and arrived at Chongxian Street in the west of the city.

The atmosphere on the streets today is different from usual. The streets are quite empty. There are no shouting vendors or walking salesmen. Everywhere you pass is deserted than usual.

Along the way, many passers-by gathered together and talked, mostly discussing the prefect's order to close the city gates.

"Sister, let's go sit in the Qingfeng Building in front."

At Gu Yanfei's suggestion, the two sisters and a cat entered the Qingfeng Building located in the middle of Chongxian Street.

At this time, there were not many guests in the restaurant, and only one-tenth of the tables and chairs in the lobby were occupied.

The two sisters chose a private seat facing the street on the second floor, and ordered a table of Qingfeng Restaurant's specialty dishes. The waiter, who had made a big business, went downstairs happily.

In the elegant seats, the fragrance of tea lingers.

The two sisters were drinking tea, and Juan Bi was waiting for the milk cat to drink water.

After taking two sips of hot tea, Gu Yunzhen put down the blue and white porcelain tea cup and said warmly: "Second sister, when we leave later, please bring a portion to grandma so that she can have a taste."

Although she had just met Gu Yanfei, Gu Yunzhen had a good impression of this cousin. She felt that she was not as vulgar as Aunt Xu said, and that her manner, words and deeds were all measured. The wind god Yuxue reminded her of her deceased uncle.

Gu Yanfei softly said "hmm" and probably guessed what Gu Yunzhen was going to say next.

Gu Yun really wanted to talk to Gu Yanfei about the people and things in the Hou Mansion, so that she would not have a black eye when she went to the capital in the future.

She thought about it and started with Mrs. Gu: "Second sister, my grandmother likes to eat fish and shrimps. She believes in Buddhism and will fast and become vegetarian on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month."

"Next month is my grandmother's birthday. My third sister suggested that each of us sisters copy a Buddhist scripture and give it to my grandmother."

"Third sister..." Speaking of Gu Yunzhen, Gu Yunzhen paused for a moment before he could speak.

Gu Yanfei knew what she was worried about, so she made it clear: "You are talking about Su Niang's daughter, right?"

Gu Yunzhen nodded and continued: "The third sister has been raised under the knee of my grandmother since she was a child. Grandma loves her the most and she usually listens to her advice. This time it was the third sister who persuaded my grandmother to pick up the second sister."

Gu Yanfei blinked his big lacquer-like eyes, and then he suddenly realized.

It turned out that it was Gu Yunchuang who was behind the push. No wonder Mrs. Gu came so quickly, several days earlier than she expected.

Gu Yunzhen wanted to say something else, but there was a rumble of footsteps on the street outside the window, and someone shouted: "The official is here!"

The movement outside the restaurant attracted the attention of the two sisters, both of whom were looking for fame.

On the street, a group of tall and mighty government officials ran over menacingly, and well-trained and surrounded a medical clinic opposite. Several of them rushed into the hospital from the main entrance.

The team was led by a middle-aged man wearing a scarlet robe embroidered with clouds and wild goose. He was waiting outside the hospital on a brown horse with an imposing manner.

"Fourth-grade official uniform?" Gu Yunzhen raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "Is this the prefect?"

"It's really Zhifu He!"

The person who answered Gu Yunzhen was the waiter who had just walked in. He was seen holding six plates of dishes in both arms, as if he was performing a juggling act.

While the waiter craned his neck to look out the window, he served them skillfully, including steamed anchovies, anchovy shrimps, salted duck, goose fat cake, sweet-scented sweet potato, chicken stewed in clear soup... everything was laid out on the floor.

The table is full of color and fragrance.

The movement in front of the hospital also attracted people walking on the street. Many people stopped curiously and talked about it:

"Why are the officials here?"

"Did something happen to Cheng's Medical Clinic?"

"First the city was closed, and now the medical center is closed. There must be a reason!"

"I remember that Dr. Cheng was invited to treat the eldest prince yesterday. Could it be that something went wrong..."

"..."

On Chongxian Street, more and more passers-by stopped to watch the excitement, and there was a buzz of people.

All eyes were turned to Cheng's Medical Clinic.

Gu Yanfei picked up an anchovy shrimp with chopsticks and ate it, looking outside thoughtfully.

The milk cat came smelling the fragrance and looked at Gu Yanfei with a "meow" look. Its pair of green cat's eyes were breathtaking. Unfortunately, Gu Yanfei was unmoved and simply swatted the cat away and ordered the waiter to give the cat a portion of boiled shrimps.

.

After a while, a man's high-pitched shouting came from the direction of the medical center opposite, which almost lifted the roof:

"It's unfair! The villain is unfairly accused!"

Amid the shrill cries of injustice, Dr. Cheng was escorted out of the medical center by four or five tall officials. His turban had fallen off, his bun was a little messy, and he was in a state of embarrassment.

"Lord He, it is clear that the common people were wronged. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the medicine prescribed by the common people to His Highness the First Prince..."

Doctor Cheng raised his head and complained to Magistrate He on the horse. His heart was heavy and he felt that this matter could not be solved.

When the Yamen went in to arrest him just now, they kept saying that it was because he had used the wrong medicine, which caused the eldest prince's health to take a turn for the worse after taking the medicine, and his condition was critical.

But Dr. Cheng was convinced that Chu Yi's critical illness had nothing to do with him.

He is familiar with the medicinal properties of blue moon grass. After taking blue moon grass for the first time, the patient will only feel good and refreshed, but he does not know that this is just a reflection of light.

Next, the toxicity of blue moon grass will erode the patient's internal organs bit by bit, causing the patient to slowly weaken and die slowly, making it impossible to determine the cause of death or detect the time of poisoning.

He only handed over the medicine package to Chu Yi's bodyguard early this morning, which meant that the toxicity of Blue Moon Grass would not take effect until at least half a month later.
