Chapter 390

After the Zhang residence became quiet again, Mu Zheng called Rong Cheng to him, and asked slowly.

"What's wrong with Mrs. Zhang's condition?"

Lin Youyi couldn't help showing a puzzled expression when she heard Mu Zheng's question.

Just now, when Rong Cheng was taking the pulse of Mrs. Zhang's old lady, Lin Youyi noticed that his expression was dignified, and there seemed to be something abnormal.

Later, I heard Rongcheng say that my grandmother only had one year at most.

Lin Youyi logically thought that the change in Rongcheng's expression was due to the serious condition of his grandmother.

But now, hearing Mu Zheng asking Rongcheng like this, Lin Youyi became suspicious again.

Could it be that my grandmother's illness came so suddenly, what else could be said?
"Nothing can be hidden from the lord's eyes! Mrs. Zhang's condition is indeed not optimistic, and it seems to be caused by worrying too much, so that she is exhausted physically and mentally. But... the next official still noticed something abnormal."

As Rong Cheng spoke, his eyes slowly turned to the potted flowers at the window on the west wall.

Mu Zheng and Lin Youyi followed Rongcheng's line of sight and looked over.

"That's Yao Nuhua, it's blooming really well. But, Doctor Rong, I still don't understand, what does these Yao Nuhua have to do with my grandmother's illness?"

"Miss Si does not know that the bulbs of Yao Nuhua are used as medicine, which has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxification, dispelling stagnation, reducing swelling, dispelling blood stasis and relieving pain. But the whole plant is poisonous, and the bulbs are the most toxic. Once ingested by mistake, or the dosage is poor, Symptoms such as vomiting, abdominal pain, weak pulse, shortness of breath, rise in body temperature, lethargy and collapse will appear. In severe cases, it will also cause convulsions, and even death from paralysis!"

Lin Youyi listened, and couldn't help but gasped.

She really didn't dare to follow Rong Cheng's words.

After moving his lips twice, he asked in a trembling voice.

"Doctor Rong, what do you mean... Grandmother is seriously ill and will die soon. It's not because she's old and frail and worried, but because... she was poisoned by someone?"

"It's really similar!"

"What do you mean...really similar? Is it true or not?"

"It means that the old lady of the Zhang family will be so seriously ill. It can be said to be caused by an old disease, or it can be said to be poisoned. The difference between the two situations can be said to be negligible! But according to the officials , I'm more inclined to the latter case."

"Poisoning... poisoning... is Yao Nuhua's poison?"

"It's very similar! If there is no accident, the old lady of the Zhang family should have taken the pollen of Yao Nuhua. Therefore, the poison developed slowly, so that the condition was so serious that she was unable to recover, so she was noticing the abnormality."

"How did this happen? Now, my uncle has been convicted and sent to prison, and will soon be exiled to Fangling. Zhang Miaozhen is even more unconscious, and life is worse than death. From the entire Zhang family, only my grandmother and little aunt are left. Who is it? To actually poison the grandmother at this time?"

"It's really unbelievable, but to the lower officials, someone put Yao Nuhua in the bedroom, and there are several pots in one place, this is the most unbelievable thing!"

Lin Youyi clenched her lower lip, and the next moment, she turned around and walked towards the door of the house.

Mu Zheng quickly reached out and grabbed Lin Youyi.

"Little girl, what are you going to do?"

"Don't worry, my lord, I won't mess around until the truth is known."

Hearing what Lin Youyi said, Mu Zheng didn't stop her anymore, but walked out of the room with her.

The little lady who had been waiting in the yard turned around nervously when she heard the sound of the door opening.

When she saw that it was Mu Zheng and Lin Youyi walking out of the room side by side, she hurried forward again and bowed her knees to salute.

"The little lady met Prince Rui and Miss Fourth."

"Little aunt, you don't need to be too polite."

Lin Youyi stretched out her hand to support the little lady.

"Little aunt, I will temporarily stay at the house for a few days, I don't know, is it convenient?"

"Convenience! Convenience! I'll let someone go and clean up the yard you lived in before..."

"No need, I'll live with my grandmother. After a while, let Xing'er and Wu Fu tidy up the side room."

"This...how can this be done! Miss Fourth, you are delicate and expensive..."

"Little aunt, I'm here to take care of my grandmother. We can't wait for you to mobilize people like this."

"Miss Si, I didn't mean that..."

"I know, little aunt loves people the most, so of course it doesn't mean that. Oh, right, little aunt, the imperial doctor said just now that grandma is seriously ill and needs to rest. The servants in this yard leave a few caring , and don’t bother me any more.”

"Okay, I'll make arrangements in a moment."

"Also, Imperial Doctor Rong said that grandma is old and seriously ill, so it's really not appropriate to smell the heavy fragrance. Those flowers in the house should be moved to the yard first to take care of them."

"it is good."

"Little aunt, let me see, those pots of Yao Nu flowers are blooming well, can you give me two pots when you leave?"

"Of course. It's the blessing of those flowers that Fourth Miss can admire them. I also saw that those flowers are attractive, and they also have the effect of calming the nerves and helping sleep, so I bought two more pots for my mother-in-law. .”

"It turns out that those Yao Nu flowers were arranged by my aunt, she really has a heart."

"Miss Si praised it absurdly. I just went for what I like. My mother-in-law also likes those potted flowers. They say they are elegant and beautiful, like green onions and scallions, stretching far and wide."

"What did you say?"

After Lin Youyi heard what the little lady said, she asked sharply and frowned.

The little lady was frightened by Lin Youyi, and she trembled all over.

"The little woman said... said... mother-in-law also likes that potted flower very much."

"It's not this sentence! You said... like a green onion or a scallion, stretching forever."

"Yes...is...what's the problem?"

"no!"

After Lin Youyi finished speaking, she felt a sudden buzzing in her head.

Immediately, her knees gave way and she almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Mu Zheng had quick eyes and quick hands, and he pulled Lin Youyi into his arms.

"Youyi, what's wrong with you, but what's wrong?"

Lin Youyi shook her head with all her might, supported Mu Zheng's arm and stood up again.

"Little aunt, during this period of time, the whole family has to ask you to take care of me. I will also take good care of my grandmother here. Although I can't share much for you, I hope you can give me a chance to be filial. I also hope that the little aunt Don't think I'm in the way."

"Miss Si, what are you talking about? If you can come, I can't rest assured anymore! This is also your home. You can live as long as you want. I'm just worried that I won't take good care of you and let you live uncomfortable."

Seeing Lin Youyi's pale face, the little lady seemed to be uncomfortable, so she didn't say anything more.

She asked Lin Youyi to take a rest first with concern, and then retreated.
