Su Nianyun went to Su Ming's ear and told Xiao Changfeng that he was poisoned by eating gray vegetables.
"What?" Su Ming jumped up in shock, "You said..."
You actually used that kind of thing to harm Xiao Hou?!
"Shh!" Su Nianyun hurriedly covered Su Ming's mouth, "Don't be so loud. There are so many people here, just know it in your heart."
Su Ming hurriedly stopped talking and asked Su Nianyun in a lowered voice.
"Ayun, how could such a thing happen?"
Su Nianyun shook his head, "I don't know either. Anyway, there is something strange about this poison..."
Su Ming asked again, "Do you think this was done by the kitchen behind Wangbei Tower, or was it done by someone else in the middle?"
"If there is someone else, I guess it's unlikely." Su Nianyun shook his head, denying the possibility of someone else poisoning him.
"Why do you say that?"
"Look," Su Nianyun pointed at the plate of stewed meat, "the stewed meat is so rotten, if the gray cabbage is eaten later, it will be raw."
Raw gray cabbage is non-toxic. Every Mobei person knows that only raw gray cabbage is toxic.
"So, half-cooked gray vegetables can only be added in the middle of the stew, so as to ensure that the meat is cooked but the vegetables are not fully cooked."
"So, this person must be from the kitchen, or someone who has a close relationship with the kitchen." Su Ming had already made a guess from Su Nianyun's reasoning.
"Well," Su Nianyun nodded, "so I would like to trouble Brother Su Ming to check it out..."
She whispered a few words in his ear.
Su Ming nodded after hearing this, "Don't worry, leave this matter to me and I will definitely take care of it."
After saying that, he got up and left the dining table, then walked around the building, and went to the back kitchen of Wangbei Building when no one was paying attention.
Su Nianyun arranged for the two wet nurses and three children to eat and drink as much as they wanted.
When they were about to finish eating, Su Ming came back.
After he sat down, he shook his head at Su Nianyun, saying that he had gained nothing.
Su Nianyun handed the chopsticks to his hand, "In that case, let's eat first and let's talk about it when we get back."
The object of his worship was framed and poisoned in such a way. Su Ming could still eat. He only took a few bites and got up to catch the carriage.
Su Nianyun didn't force him, and just asked the store owner to put the remaining meals in food boxes and take them back to the house.
When the group returned to the house, Xia Yue was the first to greet them.
"Princess, why did you come back just now?"
"It's already so dark. What's the emergency? Mr. Fu has to drag you out at that time?"
Su Nianyun said to Xia Yue, "Why, didn't I tell you when we went out?"
"Say...what?" Xia Yue was stunned for a moment.
Everyone came back from lunch at Wangbei Tower at noon, but she was the only one who had been serving the princess tea and had no time to eat.
When she returned to the house, she had just eaten a few bites of the food that had gone cold in the kitchen, when she heard that Mr. Fu had come again, so she hurriedly made tea.
Unexpectedly, by the time she finished brewing the tea and carried it to the front hall, the master led a group of people out the door in the blink of an eye.
In the empty hall, her freshly brewed tea was steaming alone.
Only after asking the servants at the door did they know that Mr. Fu had left with the princess and others.
Not knowing the whereabouts of the princess made her secretly anxious in the house.
This rush ranges from the sun tilting, to sunset, and then to nightfall.
Seeing the few people who finally came back, Xia Yue asked a barrage of questions.
Su Nianyun looked at her and said, "Let's make tea first. I'm tired of eating in Wangbei Tower."
"Princess, did you go to Wangbei Tower again?"
Xia Yue was surprised, "Didn't you just have dinner there at noon? Why did you go there again at night?"
"Who knows," Su Nianyun said, "Maybe it's because I'm from Mobei, or maybe it's because the food there is so delicious!"
Xia Yue wondered, could it be that the princess had been looking at the North Tower all afternoon?
Can you stay in Wangbei Tower for such a long time?
Just as she was thinking about it, Su Ming handed her the food box he was carrying.
"It just so happens that you are going to make tea. Send these to the kitchen and tell everyone to cook them when they are hungry."
"Yes." Xia Yue nodded quickly, then took the food box and walked to the kitchen.
As he walked, he didn't forget to look back at Su Nianyun and others.
"The girl you are serving is not suitable to be an undercover agent or a detailed worker. Her skills are too weak and she will not be able to withstand the situation."
Looking at Xia Yue's leaving figure, Su Ming smiled mockingly.
Su Nianyun said, "Xia Yue has always been a straight-forward person and speaks her words directly. It is indeed a bit thoughtless for someone to suddenly ask her to do such a thing."
"Princess, don't worry, we will definitely help you take good care of this girl!" Huixin next to her swore in Lidong.
"That's not necessary," Su Nianyun shook her head, "You are only responsible for not letting her get close to Jing'er."
Jing'er is her weak point, as long as she protects Jing'er, she will be strong and invulnerable.
He handed the child to Huixin and played in the yard in Lidong while she and Su Ming went into the study.
"Ayun, who did you think did what happened to Xiao Hou?"
After leaving the hustle and bustle of Wangbei Building and returning to the silence of the study, Su Ming finally asked the question in his mind.
Su Ming's face didn't look good, and he said with emotion, "Xiao Hou is the deputy general who protects the family and the country. Could it be that a spy from a foreign country is plotting against him?"
Su Nianyun shook his head, "The coach of this match against Fan Bang is the eighteenth prince Zhao Chengji, not Xiao Changfeng."
"And the deputy general is not only Xiao Changfeng, but also Xiao Lei."
"Coupled with Xiao Changfeng's harsh treatment of Fan Bang's Xizuo in the capital, there is a high probability that Fan Bang will not provoke Xiao Changfeng."
"Who could that be?" Su Ming was puzzled.
Su Nianyun said, "I see that the people around Xiao Changfeng are the first to suspect Xiao Lei as soon as something happens to him!"
"Xiao Lei?" Su Ming said, "Xiao Lei, the eldest son of the Xiaohou family?"
Su Nianyun nodded, "That's him."
Su Ming said, "The two Xiao Hous, the elder and the younger, have never dealt with each other in the court. It is not impossible for Xiao Lei to harm the younger Xiao Hou."
"Nianyun, do you also think it was Xiao Lei who did it?"
"I have no idea."
Su Nianyun still had the same view as in the General's Mansion.
"I don't know Xiao Lei, so I can't make any judgment..."
If she had a chance, she would like to meet this Prince Xiao Lei.
While the two were talking, Hui Xin's loud voice came from outside the study.
"Miss Xia Yue, your tea-making skills are getting better and better. I can smell the fragrance of tea from afar!"
Hearing Huixin's warning, Su Nianyun stopped talking.
She winked at Su Ming.
When Xia Yue came in with hot tea, the two of them had already stopped talking about Xiao Lei.
This is the second tea that Xia Yue has made this afternoon.
Drinking tea at night can easily make you unable to sleep. She really thinks there is no need for the princess to drink tea at night.
Moreover, because the princess was breastfeeding the young master, she always drank more soup and less tea. But I don’t know what happened to the princess recently. She was always asked to make tea every day.
Cooking tea is not brewing tea. It involves several more steps, making it a bit troublesome to drink.
And because the princess always sent her to make tea, she couldn't stay with the princess all the time. Xia Yue felt more and more marginalized.
With two wet nurses helping to look after the children, the only job left for her was to make tea.
"Well, this tea is indeed fragrant. It's no wonder Hui Xin's nose is so good."
Su Nianyun asked Xia Yue, "What kind of tea is this?"
Xia Yue said hurriedly, "Back to the princess, this is the tribute tea that the Queen Mother has given you. This time I go out, I will bring it with you."
"It turns out it was a reward from the Queen Mother, no wonder..." Su Nianyun looked at the tea, but her eyes looked at Xia Yue.
I saw that Xia Yue had been pouring tea for the two of them, with no intention of going out.
