The restaurant in front of him was not another restaurant, but the same one that Lu Zhiyao had visited a few days ago and whose chef had been taken away by the Eighth Prince.
"Eh? Really?" Qu Waner's tone was surprised, but the expression on her face was another story. "But don't worry, Young Master Chu, you can just eat with peace of mind, we won't let you pay for it."
.”
Although Qu Wan'er said that, how could Chu Ziqian bring so many people to his restaurant for dinner, and then let a woman pay the bill with money in front of everyone? He felt that he had been completely tricked, Chu Ziqian tilted his head.
He glanced at Qu Wan'er and asked, "How do you know this place?"
"The Eighth Princess recommended me to come here. She said the chef here is very good."
Is it really Lu Zhiyao's fault...
Chu Ziqian sighed slowly and said: "The good cook has already arrived at her house. If I had known this, it would be better to go to the Eighth Emperor's Mansion to eat."
"The Eighth Imperial Concubine also asked me to help her try out the skills of the new cook here." Qu Wan'er looked at Chu Ziqian's interesting expression calmly, and pretended not to know anything when the other party looked over.
.
"I didn't know that the relationship between you two was already so good." Chu Ziqian walked towards the restaurant and left these words when passing by Qu Wan'er.
"Who said I have a good relationship with her? This is just my reward for helping her today."
Chu Ziqian strode away and didn't care so much about Qu Wan'er's words. After leading a few people in, he went straight to the second floor. A few people ate and drank a lot. Chu Ziqian stopped Qu Wan'er's attempt to pay the bill.
Left the restaurant again.
"Is this really good?" Qu Waner walked beside Chu Ziqian and asked with her head tilted. She picked up the money bag hanging on her waist and waved it in front of Chu Ziqian's eyes. Qu Waner was nonchalant.
He said: "The Eighth Imperial Concubine gave me money and asked me to treat you to a nice meal."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?!" If he had known that Lu Zhiyao was the one providing the money, Chu Ziqian would never have done anything stupid like just now.
"Didn't I say that this was my reward for helping her today? You didn't pay attention to what I said. Who is to blame?"
Chu Ziqian was fooled by Lu Zhiyao and Qu Wan'er again. Seeing this, Li Muchen and others couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
The way of getting along with Chu Ziqian and others was different. At this time, Prince Luo's Mansion was already shrouded in dark clouds.
After Liu Yiyu was sent away, Nangong Nuoer kicked Lin Yixiang out of the room and stayed alone in the room. Lin Yichen briefly asked Lin Yixiang a few questions. When he heard Lin Yixiang tell the truth of the matter, he was a little confused.
untie.
If, as Lin Yixiang said, he was knocked unconscious at home and that scene happened, then who sent him? And why did he choose to send Liu Yiyu to Lin Yixiang's bed?
"How many people know about you and Liu Yiyu?" Lin Yichen asked in a low voice. After hearing Lin Yixiang's answer that there were not many people, he was silent for a moment, and then left Prince Luo's Mansion and returned to the palace.
Lin Yixiang sent Lin Yichen away and returned to his room with a headache. Knowing that it didn't mean much to knock or not, he simply pushed the door open and walked in. What he encountered was Nangong Nuoer's menacing attack.
Lin Yixiang didn't want to be slapped a second time by her, and Lin Yichen was no longer here, so he let go of his hands and feet, and after suppressing Nangong Nuoer, he asked: "How long do you want to make trouble?!"
"Am I making trouble? Lin Yixiang, how can you have the nerve to say this!"
Nangong Nuo'er was beaten upside down, and she looked at Lin Yixiang with extreme grievance, but was dragged towards the back room by Lin Yixiang. Her whole body fell heavily on the bed. While Nangong Nuo'er was stunned, Lin Yixiang quickly seized the opportunity and threw Nangong Nuo'er into the back room.
The words that my son had been unwilling to hear came out.
Nangong Nuoer sneered after hearing Lin Yixiang's words.
"Do you dare to say that you have nothing to do with that woman?" Nangong Nuoer has not forgotten the horrified look on that woman's face when she said she wanted to find someone to examine Liu Yiyu's body.
"She and I do have a relationship, but that was before Xia Yao's death. Liu Yiyu and Xia Yao have always had a good relationship. In order to get close to Xia Yao and find out more about the Xia family, this was a last resort!
"
"Haha." Nangong Nuo'er sneered, stood up from the bed, looked at Lin Yixiang, and said sarcastically: "I didn't know yet, but it turns out that Xia Yao is so difficult to deal with that she wants you to please her friends.
.Lin Yixiang, did I look down on you before? No matter what kind of woman, as long as they can be used by you, you don't mind if they climb into your bed? What about me? Who am I in your heart? "
Lin Yixiang frankly admitted his relationship with Liu Yiyu, which did not make Nangong Nuoer feel any better.
"Don't you know whether Xia Yao is easy to deal with or not? She is dead now, so I said everything today was just a misunderstanding. If I really had anything to do with Liu Yiyu, do you think I would be stupid enough to take her away?
Come home? Do you think I don’t know how many of your spies there are in this palace?”
Nangong Nuo'er felt uncomfortable, and Lin Yixiang's temper had always been irritable. Not many people knew about what happened between him and Liu Yiyu. Who could have done what happened today? This is the biggest headache for Lin Yixiang right now. If he doesn't find out,
Lin Yixiang felt that the other party would probably use Liu Yiyu to do something else. In fact, it is possible to marry Liu Yiyu back now, but looking at Nangong Nuoer now, this matter may not be possible. People from Qingming Kingdom
Lin Yixiang also hopes to use Liu Yiyu to find out why he keeps investigating the Xia family, so now he can't let Nangong Nuo'er attack Liu Yiyu. Fortunately, Lin Yichen was present to suppress today's matter, otherwise he thought, Nangong Nuo'er really doesn't know
How far will it go?
"So now you are blaming me for placing too many people from the Nangong family in this house?" Nangong Nuo'er took a deep breath and said mockingly: "I really can't understand now why I was so desperate to fight for Xia Yao.
What are you doing for? It’s not just me, it seems that Xia Yao is also blind, so she was deceived by you. Thinking about it, I really sympathize with her. After all, she is also the number one beauty, but she was deceived by you.
This kind of person deceives people all over the place and eventually destroys the family. But I'm not much better. It's just Lin Yixiang. The Nangong family will never be like the Xia family. Please remember this."
Lin Yixiang watched Nangong Nuoer walk past him and then walked out of the room, not bothering to chase him. He fell on the bed exhausted. A day that usually feels short, today passed so long...
Every slave felt that something was wrong between the two masters. Lu Zhiqing watched Liu Yiyu leave the palace with her own eyes. She couldn't say whether her mood was good or bad, but she didn't expect that there would be something good to watch here.
Lin Yichen had a busy day and witnessed another farce at Prince Luo's Mansion. He wanted to rest after returning to the palace, but Luo Yuncheng was already waiting here and told him about Ruan Chen.
When Lin Yichen listened to Luo Yuncheng's report on Ruan Chen's actions in the past two days, he knew that the poison had taken effect. Finally, there was something that could make him a little happy. Lin Yichen felt tired after talking to Luo Yuncheng for a while.
He couldn't help but lie down on the bed.
Ruan Chen has been an imperial doctor for many years. Whether for the emperor or for other concubines, princes, and ministers, he has cured diseases and detoxified. After becoming the emperor's confidant, he has devoted himself to studying various diseases in accordance with the emperor's orders.
Poison so that it can be used later.
After being unwell for several days, Ruan Chen gradually realized that something was wrong. After discovering that he had been poisoned, Ruan Chen did not panic immediately. He ate his daily meals at home, so if he was really poisoned, he must have
The food was cooked by the family. The food had to pass through his wife's hands before it could reach him, and whatever he ate, she also had to eat it with him.
Ruan Chen found Tong Li and it didn't take long to determine that she was poisoned just like him.
Recalling that his cook was knocked unconscious that day, Ruan Chen quickly started to try to detoxify himself and his wife. However, after trying hard, he realized that he was really overconfident.
His body was getting worse day by day, and Ruan Chen's complexion was getting worse every day. He had used all the medicines that should be used. Seeing that his wife was about to lose her strength, Ruan Chen thought about going to the palace to deal with this matter.
Report to the emperor.
Ruan Chen never thought of asking for help from other doctors in the Imperial Physician Palace, because he knew very well how good everyone in the Imperial Physician Palace was at medical skills. If he couldn't cure the poison, then others would be helpless.
After leaving the palace gate, Ruan Chen got on a sedan chair and entered the palace overnight. However, he was stopped by someone when he was halfway there.
Ruan Chen was forced to get off the sedan. It was already dark, and the other party was wearing night clothes and had a mask on his face, making it impossible to see his appearance clearly.
Ruan Chen looked at the knife on his neck and glanced at the corpses on the ground that lost their lives in the blink of an eye. He asked cautiously: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
Hearing the trembling in Ruan Chen's words, the man smiled softly. "I don't want to do anything. I just want to warn Dr. Ruan that it seems inappropriate to go into the palace to see the emperor at this time, right?"
Ruan Chen stiffened and asked reflexively: "Did you poison me?!"
"Doctor Ruan could be poisoned? This is really a strange thing." The man took back the dagger, stared into Ruan Chen's eyes, and said: "But you'd better not let the emperor know about this. At least you can still do it now.
Save your life, if you really say it, I can't guarantee that you will be able to walk out of the palace gate."
The other party's meaning was very clear. Ruan Chen pretended to be calm and talked to him. "I have no cure for this poison. Even if I don't tell the emperor, I will die."
"Then what if I can give you the antidote?" The man's words made Ruan Chen's eyes widen. "Just asking for something in return requires sacrifice. I wonder if Dr. Ruan is willing to cooperate with us once?"
