Yi Lanshan probably wouldn't dare to kill them, because when they came to Yi Mansion, many people knew about them.
He was an imperial envoy sent by the imperial court. Did the Yi family really dare to blatantly take his own life?
Gu Chengyu looked at the soup bowl that Mingmo placed in front of Lu Chen opposite him, pursed his lips slightly, and said nothing.
If Lu Chen didn't notice, then there was no need for him to remind him. If Lu Chen could just sleep for one night, wouldn't everything be calm and everything would be fine?
They will leave tomorrow with the treasure map, so there is no need to create any complications.
Gu Chengyu put the soup bowl back to his mouth, but it didn't touch his lips.
He watched Lu Chen's reaction with both eyes. Unexpectedly, Lu Chen stepped forward and snatched his soup bowl, and the soup splashed onto Lu Chen's cuffs.
"Wait before you drink. Yi Lanshan must be wary of us. These dishes look rich. Who knows if they are poisonous?"
As he spoke, he took out a silver needle from his sleeve, regardless of his sleeve being splashed with soup.
"Fortunately, I was prepared, you would never have expected it." After saying that, he glanced at Gu Chengyu proudly.
Gu Chengyu twitched the corners of his mouth and forced a smile.
"That makes sense!"
Lu Chen couldn't help but smile when he received Gu Chengyu's approval.
Then his face became solemn, and he took the silver needle and started preparing to taste the dishes.
Gu Chengyu sighed in his heart, what should come must come.
He watched Lu Chen put the silver needle into the bowl of chicken soup first. When he took it out, the silver needle turned black.
"Ha! This Patriarch Yi is so audacious, he actually wants to poison us!" Lu Chen's expression changed drastically, with shock on his face.
Gu Chengyi glanced at the silver needle. It was such a rich black color. Could it be that Yi Lanshan and the others put something else in the soup?
Just, the color shouldn't be like this.
"I don't think Patriarch Yi is so ambitious that he would even dare to poison the imperial envoy." Lu Chen's face was full of indignation, and he glanced at Gu Chengyu after speaking.
"Maybe it's not completely poison? Unless he wants to have his family confiscated and his family exterminated." Gu Chengyu couldn't say it too directly, so he could only make some remarks.
"Oh? Then tell me what's in here?" Lu Chen squinted his eyes slightly and suddenly became suspicious.
Does Gu Chengyu know what poison was put here? Then why did Gu Chengyu drink it just now?
"I'm just guessing. After all, when we entered the Yi Mansion, which of the big families in the Hejian Mansion didn't know about it? The Yi Mansion wouldn't dare to do this, right?"
Gu Chengyu shook his head. Lu Chen was so shrewd that he might be doubting him now! Of course he couldn't say it out loud.
"Actually, I do know some pharmacology, and I think I should add Ninghuancao here."
Lu Chen smiled mysteriously, took out a handkerchief, wiped the silver needles, and then put away all the silver needles.
Gu Chengyu was shocked. He didn't expect that Lu Chen was also knowledgeable in pharmacology.
Then on the first night they came to Hejian Mansion, Gu Chengyu blew incense into Lu Chen's house. Did Lu Chen know?
Gu Chengyu glanced at Lu Chen and then confirmed that Lu Chen didn't know.
His was made by himself based on a recipe lost in space, and he even improved it once later.
The biggest advantage of this is that it is colorless and odorless, so people can be tricked without knowing it.
If Lu Chen had noticed it, it would not have been so smooth for him to get the treasure map.
Lu Chen saw Gu Chengyu looking at him with a somewhat surprised look on his face. He simply put aside his suspicion of Gu Chengyu and explained: "Ning Huan Cao is the main medicine in the production, and it is mostly added to this soup, so we also
Don’t be too alarmed.”
Lu Chen chuckled lightly, but seeing that Gu Chengyu was still silent, he continued: "Since Chief Yi has been so kind to us, we can't deny his kindness, can we?"
Gu Chengyu understood Lu Chen's intention in just a moment and couldn't help but nodded.
"How is it? Did he drink chicken soup?" Yi Lanshan looked at the steward in front of him and asked anxiously.
"After eating, the villain specially stood at the door while his entourage took out the dishes. He will probably fall asleep after a while."
The steward nodded affirmatively, especially as he drank more than half of the bowl of chicken soup.
This was something the Master had specially ordered, so he was naturally very careful about it.
"That's great!" Yi Lanshan beamed with joy. The other dishes were all added with medicine, but the chicken soup had even more medicine.
This is not the kind of person who will fall into unconsciousness immediately, but will gradually feel sleepy, which can also reduce Gu Chengyu's suspicion.
When Gu Chengyu becomes more and more sleepy, he will sleep as usual, but his eyelids will feel heavier than before, so he will not doubt himself.
"It seems that we are safe tonight. We must send this plague god away tomorrow to prevent him from ruining our good deeds."
Yi Lanshan grinned happily. As long as Gu Chengyu's family slept until dawn, they would naturally be safe.
He didn't believe that Gu Chengyu dared to do anything to their Yi family during the day. As for those followers, Yi Lanshan was even less worried.
After all, the master who gave the orders has fallen asleep, so what can the followers do?
However, just in case, Yi Lanshan still planned to ask the secret guards to watch those people to avoid capsizing in the gutter.
"Did Mr. Gu really drink the chicken soup?"
Yi Lanwen was a little anxious in his heart. He was very confused. Could it be that Mr. Gu was not on guard against his elder brother?
His eldest brother told him before that he wanted to let go, but he didn't stop it.
In fact, whether the treasure map is obtained by Yi or Gu Chengyu, he will benefit from it.
However, that is under the condition that Gu Chengyu will fulfill his promise. In comparison, the rise of the Yi family is more reliable.
The eldest brother is a relative after all. As long as he can make that person happy, the eldest brother will never treat his room badly, right?
As for the poison he was poisoned, as long as Gu Chengyu is unconscious, it won't be a problem.
Later, I will give some medicine to Gu Chengyu's entourage, and these people will not be slaughtered by me?
Gu Chengyu must have brought the antidote with him. He searched Gu Chengyu's body, but he didn't believe he couldn't find it.
This way he doesn't have to be controlled by Gu Chengyu, and it also saves him from being worried.
Yi Lanwen silently praised his intelligence. Who said he didn't have a plan?
In the past, he only had to do this occasionally, because his elder brother took care of everything.
"Brother! I think those few followers are not a good person, and they will cause trouble. I think they are also stunned. When they eat later, they will follow the gourd's example, so we don't have to worry."
Naturally, the servants cannot eat with the master. It will be a good time to deliver meals to the followers later.
Upon hearing this, Yi Lanshan greatly agreed.
He stroked his beard and praised: "Second brother, I have thought carefully this time and will do as you say. However, the medicine should be heavier this time. Don't let them wake up in the middle of the night."
Yi Lanwen was naturally happy when he was praised and quickly responded.
As soon as he walked out the door, his expression darkened.
