7. Poisonous food

The two of them were polite to Mr. Su, his wife and their son-in-law, and they talked to each other. On the surface, they looked respectful to each other, but secretly they were hiding temptations.

Mr. and Mrs. Su were still grieving over the lost military talisman, and their smiles were very forced.

Qin Shangshu pretended to be concerned and asked: "In-laws, father-in-law, mother-in-law, do you still have any unfinished business? Just tell me, I will help you with everything I can."

General Su sighed: "I feel uneasy when the military talisman is lost!"

Hearing this, Qin Shangshu sneered secretly in his heart. Of course he lost it, because the military talisman had already been taken away by someone he had arranged for when he ransacked his house.

His Shangshu Mansion was robbed last night, but the military talisman was not taken away by the thieves. It was a blessing in misfortune.

On the face, he said: "Old General Su is really loyal to the country, how could he collude with officials to commit corruption? I believe that the emperor will find out the truth and clear away your grievances."

No one answered. Everyone knew in their hearts that this suffering was the emperor's intention. How could he clear their grievances?

Ying Bao on the side looked at Qin Shangshu's hypocrisy and sneered in his heart.

Qin Shangshu must be very proud of himself, right? But he doesn't know that the military talisman he asked people to take away was fake. When she went to search for supplies in Shangshu's mansion last night, she didn't even bother to put that thing into the space.

Let’s see what tricks he can do with this fake military talisman.

Doctor Yuan also looked concerned and said to General Su: "Old General, the key to this frame-up is the drug that knocked you out. I will definitely help you get to the bottom of it!"

This was just a polite statement. Everyone knew that even if he really found out, nothing would change.

Seeing that no one answered, the two of them turned around to warn their daughters, bursting into tears, looking like loving fathers.

"I don't know when I will see you again. When you arrive at the place of exile, please take care of yourself!"

The two old fathers each held their own daughters and gave them instructions, but in their hearts they regarded them as abandoned children.

Poor Qin Ying and Yuan Lianyi didn't know that they had been abandoned by their most respected father, and their faces were full of tears at this moment.

"Father, my daughter is unfilial and can no longer be filial by your side!"

Yiyi said goodbye, and after Qin Shangshu and Yuan Taiyi looked at each other, they asked their servants to bring out a few bags of dry food.

These foods are extremely precious to those who are about to be exiled.

This made Qin Ying and Yuan Lianyi even more moved. They held their father's hands and did not want to be separated from them. They felt even more guilty for not being able to fulfill their filial piety in front of them.

Ying Bao, who knew all the truth, watched coldly from her mother's arms, sneering in her heart.

Seeing an official with a big wolf dog beside him, specially used to scare the exiled prisoners, she suddenly thought of a way to spot these two old foxes.

Her short body suddenly stretched towards her grandfather, Imperial Physician Yuan.

"Grandpa, give me a hug!"

Imperial Physician Yuan was stunned for a moment. His granddaughter had never been close to him. She would cry every time he wanted to hug her. Unexpectedly, she would ask him to hug her now?

In order to perform the last scene well, he did not hesitate, played the role of a loving grandfather, and happily hugged Ying Bao.

"Let grandpa give our sweet baby a good hug. I don't know if I will ever have the chance to hold this poor child again..." he said, pretending to squeeze out a few tears.

Yuan Lianyi couldn't help but wipe her tears along with her.

However, Ying Bao pointed to the dry food they sent and said coquettishly, "I want to eat the delicious food sent by my grandfather."

Su Sanlang always loved his daughter. When he heard his daughter's request, he took a few items from the dry food sent by his father-in-law to Ying Bao without saying a word.

Upon seeing this, Imperial Physician Yuan quickly stopped him: "These dry food are for you to eat on the way. Otherwise, if there is no food on the way, you may starve."

Yingbao immediately imitated the original owner's character and burst into tears. "I'm hungry now, I want to eat!"

Su Sanlang and Yuan Lianyi immediately said distressedly: "Let Ying Bao eat, we can't starve the child now."

Doctor Yuan's eyes flickered, but he didn't say anything more.

He is not afraid that Ying Bao will be poisoned if he eats it, but he is afraid that he will be poisoned if he eats the food he sent, and he will definitely be suspected!

After Ying Bao took it in his hand with satisfaction, he pointed at the food sent by Qin Shangshu, "Ying Bao wants to eat that."

Qin Ying was not stingy either. She took out a piece of the dry food her father gave her and handed it to Ying Bao.

After Ying Bao received the food given by each of them, she struggled to return to her mother's arms.

During the process, she accidentally dropped two pieces of food in her hands on the ground.

"Ouch!" she exclaimed, with a look of pity on her face.

The big dog that the official had brought to scare the exiles smelled the food falling on the ground and rushed over with all four legs.

Three times, five times and two times, the two things that fell on the ground were eaten cleanly.

In order to complete the trick more comprehensively, Ying Bao saw that all the food was eaten by the dogs and started crying again: "I want to eat! I want to eat more!"

Su Sanlang wanted to take out some more food for Ying Bao to eat, but he saw that the big dog that had eaten the food dropped by Ying Bao suddenly foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground dead.

Seeing this, Yuan Lianyi immediately became alert: "This food is poisonous!"

As she spoke, she immediately took out the dry food sent by her father and Qin Ying's father and checked it carefully.

When the other members of the Su family saw this situation, their expressions darkened. Although their feet were still leaning on chains, they also gathered around.

After Yuan Lianyi checked, he stood up and looked at his father: "Dad, what did you put on the food?"

Doctor Yuan had a magnanimous look on his face: "I was afraid that you would spend too much time on your way to exile, so I ground some body-building dragon tongue powder for you and sprinkled it on top."

Yuan Lianyi asked Qin Shangshu: "Master Qin, did you put something on the food too?"

Qin Shangshu's performance was even more realistic than that of Imperial Physician Yuan, and he nodded seriously and said: "Yes, the weather was hot during your exile, so I sprinkled you with some cooling and heat-relieving medicinal powder ground with Qingxincao."

Hearing this answer, Yuan Lianyi couldn't help but swayed.

She looked at her father and said, "Dad, aglossus and cordata, when put together, can cause death. How could you not know?"

Imperial Doctor Yuan felt guilty for a moment, and then he quibbled: "How did I know that Qin Shangshu also put Qingxincao? If I knew, I would naturally not put such conflicting medicinal powder."

Qin Shangshu also quickly defended: "I don't know anything about the conflict between foods. I only wanted to make your journey in exile easier, so I gave you more food. Unexpectedly, it almost killed your lives!"

When Ying Bao heard the sophistry of these two old guys, she couldn't help but admire them.

As expected of an old fox, he could still defend himself like this even if he was caught on the spot.
