Chapter 218 The Darkness Under the Lights

Outside, the wind blows.

Listening to the howling wind, Lin Yunyan pursed her lips.

"How did she get sick then?" Lin Yunyan asked.

Xu Jian recalled: "The doctor said it was a cold spring, and it only took seven or eight days."

Speaking of this, Lin Yunyan didn't need to say much, she also knew that Xu Jian had some judgments.

Xu Jian has been asking a doctor to take care of Nanny's body for more than a year. It can be seen that he has worries, and worries have gradually turned into doubts.

Although Mama He is not young anymore, she is still tough in action and in good spirits.

It's not that she has been lingering on the sick bed for many years and has lost her body. It stands to reason that she shouldn't be killed by a sudden illness.

Xu Jian lowered her eyes, pondered for a while, and said, "I just didn't expect that she used to work in the palace."

"If I hadn't tried her craft, I wouldn't have imagined it." Lin Yunyan sighed.

To start all over again, no one has to think carefully.

In the past, I sorted out the things over and over again, looking for various ways to break the situation.

But no matter how carefully you familiarize yourself with it, you can't sort it out from an old lady who has passed away.

The same is true for Xu Jian.

Furthermore, she is used to her current status.

Commonly known as black light.

"Such an invisible means of harming people," Lin Yunyan's eyes sank, "Could it be the poisonous prescription that killed King Ding and Zhu Zhan's mother?"

"Very likely." Xu Jian said.

At this moment in the past, the British government is still beautiful.

Zhu Cheng obtained two boxes of gold bricks from Honest Lane through Li Yuanfa and Xi Dong's family. Zhu Zhan's mother was still "ill" and the eunuch Wang Liunian was still hiding in the dark. No one knew that Zhu's father and son had contact with such a person. .

No one doubted how Zhu Zhan's mother fell ill, and no one would link the illness of the women in the back house with the death of King Ding.

Everything is below the surface.

And the mother of the He family just left.

"Then what?" Lin Yunyan frowned, "how could it be used on a nanny?"

The poisonous prescription is not complicated at all.

All the herbs are common in pharmacies, and they are not suspicious when you go to the pharmacy to buy them every day. It's just that the "miracle effect" comes out after the proportioning.

But at that time, the only ones who knew about Fang Zi were those from Wang Liunian. What did they do to the mother of the He family?
Lin Yunyan muttered, asking and answering herself, sorting out her thoughts.

"Maybe Mammy discovered something by accident," she said after a pause, "Or maybe they found out that Mammy used to work in the Imperial Dining Room, and they thought Mammy knew something."

The former is less likely.

The mother of the He family is usually in the backyard of Taohezhai, and her daughter-in-law goes out to do most of the daily shopping. Occasionally, she goes out to bump into something or find something, but it's just a coincidence.

The latter is also difficult to judge.

It's been too long, even if Mammy really knows something, she may not remember it, or rather, she may not care about it.

It's like it's dark under the lights, and I don't even think about it.

Or maybe, she actually didn't know anything, but the other party was guilty, thinking that she had found out the clues, and Xu Jian went in and out of Taohezhai again, maybe those things would fall into Xu Jian's ears in the end...

Since it is a guess, it must be a more thorough guess.

Lin Yunyan finally smiled and said: "Maybe we are thinking too much, Mammy is really suffering from a cold..."

To infer things that happened in the previous life but have not yet come in this life through the past life and the present life, it can only be said that no matter how many thoughts there are, there are no clues to testify.

Xu Jian reached out to pick up the teapot, and continued a cup of tea with Lin Yunyan.

Then, he said slowly, "It's useless to think about the former one. She will go to the capital three times next month, and she won't be able to meet Wang Liunian and Zhu Cheng. Maybe she will run into others, but Unknowable. For the latter one, she can only let her recall it slowly, even the details."

This is the truth.

The two analyzed it for a while, and when the dishes were overheated in the kitchen, Shen Chen brought them over again.

Returning to the pot again, the taste will naturally be somewhat different from before, but with good ingredients and good craftsmanship, the taste is still very good.

Or, after talking about a lot of things, Lin Yunyan ate very satisfyingly when she was hungry.

Xu Jian warmed a jug of wine, and took sips one by one.

Lin Yunyan put down the bowl and glanced at the jug.

According to what she watched just now, Xu Jian was leisurely, eating more vegetables, sipping less wine, and there was probably half of it in the pot.

And the wine has a scent of flowers, so it should be brewed sweet-scented osmanthus wine.

Seeing that her gaze fell on the jug, Xu Jian raised her eyebrows subconsciously, and spoke slowly and in a calm tone: "Why? The princess also wants to share a cup?"

Lin Yunyan heard his tone of finding fault, and replied: "Why? The Duke is not willing to score?"

"It's just wine, why don't you give up," that's what she said, but Xu Jian took the wine pot and only added it to her own cup, and didn't take another wine cup at all, "I don't dare to share with the princess. Go back to the mansion with a little wine, I will visit the house in a few days to pay New Year's greetings, it's hard to say whether I can leave the uncle's mansion standing up."

Rao guessed that Xu Jian didn't have any "good things to say", Lin Yunyan was still laughed angrily.

This man's teasing ability is really improving with each passing day.

What is Xu Jian's drinking capacity?
How much does father drink?
She heard something from Shen Chen before, saying that when Xu Jian was 14 years old, he followed the old man to the battlefield for the first time.

At that time, there was a big battle, the Anxi General's Mansion was destroyed, the Zhao family was full of heroes, and the front line was full of strength that would never retreat, but the morale of the soldiers was seriously hit.

The arrival of the old man stabilized the morale of the army a little, but everyone had their own ideas about the young Xu Jian.

It's too immature, and it's really not the time for a young man to go into battle.

There is such a grandson who inherits the incense under his knees, and the people of Xiliang are coming fiercely, and it is the time when they are at their peak. If Xu Jian falls here, then...

The old man didn't say much, but let Xu Jian do it by himself.

Competing in martial arts on the school field, fighting against drinking in the school field.

Some people may not dare to hit Xu Jian harshly, but no one will let him drink.

In the end, I was really convinced and convinced.

With the ferocity of a newborn calf not afraid of tigers, boost morale.

It wasn't that Lin Yunyan was "cowardly", it was because the level gap was too great, even if his father asked the two uncles to join the battle, they couldn't beat Xu Jian.

Why can't Xu Jian leave the uncle's mansion standing up?
It's just that he "respects the old" and "filial piety".

Gee!
Put gold on his own face.

Xu Jian received a few innocuous slaps, and took a sip from the wine cup.

Rubbing the smooth white porcelain with his fingertips, he said again: "If there is no taste in your mouth, there is still sweet soup in the kitchen. Mammy is facing you, presumably there is a lot of sugar."

Now that she was at a disadvantage, Lin Yunyan didn't insist on winning back.

When Shen Chen brought the sweet soup, she tasted it several times in a row, the tip of her tongue was so sweet, she felt very comfortable.

"I didn't bother to ask before," Lin Yunyan said, "This time, how did you hurt your leg?"
