Chapter 105 Gathering Evidence
At this time, in Shiweitian Restaurant, Aunt Wu took Xiao Xu to look at Lin Xiangxiang and Lin Yunjin.

"When Xiao Xu was delivering food to the Gu Mansion early this morning, I heard from the cook in the Gu Mansion that they had cooked a soup for dinner recently, which contained a lot of medicine."

Lin Xiangxiang and Lin Yunjin looked at each other, and Lin Yunjin quickly asked, "Are you sure? Where did you buy the medicine?"

Xiao Xu shook his head, "The cook said that Steward Chen bought it for her every time, but I didn't ask for details. It was also the cook who gossiped with me at the time."

"I didn't take it seriously at first, but now that I heard that Mrs. Gu was poisoned, I just remembered it and hurried over to tell the third girl."

Lin Xiangxiang pursed his lips, "Xiao Xu, can you go to the cook again tonight and ask, or find a way to get the dregs of the medicine boiled during this period of time."

Hearing this, Xiao Xu rolled his eyes, "Then I'll go ask, she said that she gave too much money today, and try to find a way to see if I can get the medicine dregs."

Lin Xiangxiang nodded, "Don't be too obvious, it's easy to make people suspect that it's the best if you can get it."

Xiao Xu nodded in agreement.

When the evening was approaching, Xiao Xu knocked on the back door of Gu's mansion, and the old man who watched the yard knew him very well.

"Xiao Xu? Didn't you deliver the food this morning? Why did you come again at night? The food delivered at night should not be fresh tomorrow morning!"

Xiao Xu smiled and agreed, "It's not delivering food, it's because Aunt Wang gave me half a tael too much this morning, and I went back to check and found out it was wrong."

"I'm afraid that when the time comes to find out, the master will scold Aunt Wang again, so why don't you send it here quickly? Old man, can you call Aunt Wang for me?"

When the old man heard this, he couldn't help but smiled, "You really aren't greedy at all, you kid, it's too late for someone else to hide it."

"Hey, this is not my money, I don't feel at ease holding it, I won't be able to sleep well at night!"

After Xiao Xu finished speaking, the old man also got up, "Then you wait, I'll call someone for you."

After a while, Aunt Wang from the kitchen came and thanked Xiao Xu non-stop with half a tael of silver.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, then Xiao Xu suddenly remembered something, and asked:
"Auntie, I heard that you have stewed soup for Mrs. Gu these few days?"

"My sister also has this problem, can you tell me what the formula of the medicine is? I will boil it for my sister when I go back."

Aunt Wang frowned, "I really don't know about this. Steward Chen caught the medicine and gave it to me directly. Otherwise, I'll go to Steward Chen and ask you?"

"That's so troublesome. No need, no need. Auntie, do you have any medicinal residues? Or give me the boiled medicinal residues. I'll go to the pharmacy and ask, and I should be able to know the formula."

Aunt Wang looked at the money in her hand, and felt that it was just medicine dregs, which would be thrown away anyway, so she might as well give Xiao Xu a favor, so she agreed immediately.

After Xiao Xu took the dregs of the medicine, he returned to Shiweitian Restaurant and handed it over to Lin Xiangxiang and Lin Yunjin.

The two showed it to the doctor for identification, and only then did they know what medicinal materials were in them, and they were indeed tonics.

Only the two medicinal materials are mutually restraining, and after eating together, the body will become weaker and weaker.

Afterwards, Lin Yunjin sent people to the pharmacies in the capital to inquire, only to find out that Chen An did not buy the medicines from one pharmacy, but bought some from each pharmacy, and then mixed the herbs himself.

After getting the evidence, Lin Yunjin found Lin Yu, his chest heaving with anger, "Gu Changyuan, that bastard, he is really vicious!"

"Sister, let's go to Dali Temple and sue him now!"

"No hurries?"

Lin Yu picked up the sandalwood box, packed all these evidences, and then found Hua Ning again.

"You sneaked into Gu's mansion during this period of time, and try to protect that cook so that she doesn't get silenced."

Then he looked at Lin Yunjin, "Father is going back to Beijing, this is not a good time to deal with Gu Changyuan, let's wait."

Fu Yu said that Xue Ting had found Xue Anyuan and was rushing to the capital, and then it was time to catch the third prince and Gu Changyuan in one go.

At night, Lin Baozhu no longer likes to cling to Gu Changyuan as before, and even sleeps alone at night.

Gu Changyuan saw it and gave Chen An a wink. There must be an explanation for Lin Baozhu's poisoning!
At midnight, Lin Baozhu was lying on the bed sleeping soundly, when she felt a gust of wind blowing by, when she opened her eyes, she saw a woman standing in front of her holding a kitchen knife.

"what!"

Lin Baozhu squeezed the quilt and climbed into the bed in fright, trembling all over, "Who are you, what are you going to do?"

The woman's face was sullen, and her face was a bit ferocious, "It's all your fault, your father's fault. My husband fought desperately with him at the border, but he actually colluded with the Northern Qi people and killed my husband!"

"You are his daughter, I will let you pay for my husband's life!"

Lin Baozhu didn't believe it, "Impossible, you are talking nonsense! My father has absolutely no way of colluding with the Northern Qi people!"

"Then how did my husband die? He was a good person, and he just disappeared!"

The woman's eyes were a little scarlet, "I just hate that the poison I gave you before was discovered."

"That's fine, I have nothing to miss, I will die with you!"

Seeing the woman's knife getting closer, Lin Baozhu was very frightened, "No, don't come here!"

bang——

The door of the room was kicked open, Gu Changyuan hurried in, the lights were brightly lit outside, at this time Chen An had already led someone to arrest the woman.

"Baby, are you alright?"

Gu Changyuan stepped forward to comfort Lin Baozhu, "Don't be afraid, the person has already been caught, don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"

Lin Baozhu's eyes filled with tears, "She wants to kill me."

"I know I know."

Gu Changyuan stroked Lin Baozhu's hair, "It's all my fault that I didn't find out. This person secretly poisoned you and even dared to assassinate you!"

"Now I will ask someone to send her to the prison of the Criminal Ministry."

The prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice?

Hearing Gu Changyuan's words, Lin Baozhu came back to her senses, and turned to look at the woman.

Thinking of what she just said to herself that her father colluded with Bei Qi, if it went to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, if the news reached the ears of the emperor, wouldn't her father be finished?
Lin Baozhu quickly shook her head, "No, no, I can't send her to the Ministry of Punishment!"

Gu Changyuan frowned, "But she wanted to kill you just now!"

This was planned by him a long time ago, since the matter of Lin Baozhu being poisoned has already been discovered by the Eldest Princess and Princess Anyang.

He simply used his tricks, found a woman in the mansion who lost her husband in a border war, gave 1 taels of gold, and promised to raise her son.

All she had to do was insist that her husband died in battle because she knew about the collusion between the Marquis of Changning and the Northern Qi people.

Now if you don't send people to the government, how can you just let the woman expose Changning Marquis?
But this time Lin Baozhu was extremely sober, she pushed Gu Changyuan away, and while everyone was not paying attention, picked up the scissors on the table and stabbed them in the woman's chest.
