Chapter 172(1/2)
"Don't say yes?" Ning Shiqian stared at her.
Zhuyan pursed her lips, then suddenly reached out and picked up the half bowl of soup on the table.
Ning Shiqian narrowed his eyes, raised his sleeves and struck out a blast of palm wind to knock down the medicine bowl, but it was too late, Zhuyan had already poured the medicine in one gulp.
The medicine bowl fell to the ground with a bang and shattered into pieces.
Zhuyan also spurted out a mouthful of blood and staggered forward, holding on to the table.
The maids and nuns present were all shocked.
It’s really poisonous, and it attacks instantly!
"It seems that the person behind you is not simple. You would rather die than confess him."
Ning Shiqian watched indifferently as Zhuyan held the table with both hands, blood gurgling out from the corners of his mouth and flowing onto the bright red wedding dress.
Watching her finally unable to stand any longer, she fell heavily to the ground.
He watched her whole body twitching until she lost her breath without closing her eyes.

In this compartment, all the guards of the Fourth Prince's Mansion were dispatched on Shi Lei's order, half of them went to the front door and the other half to the backyard.
Many food delivery people and fish sellers were making deliveries in the backyard. Suddenly they saw a group of guards with weapons appearing and closing the door. They were all shocked and confused.
The fish at the winter solstice were being weighed. Before the weighing was completed, Bai Jiuxiao, who had disappeared in a flash and suddenly appeared out of nowhere, grabbed his arm.
"Would you like to see what it feels like to fly?"
Before Dong Zhi had time to react, she grabbed him under his armpit, then tiptoed, flew up, and left the house in a few leaps.
When the wind blew past her ears, Bai Jiuxiao turned around and saw chaos in the backyard, with guards chasing her in the direction she left.
Dongzhi under the arm was so frightened that he screamed.
Bai Jiuxiao frowned: "If you call me again, I'll let go."
Only then did Winter Solstice have to shut up.
As light as a swallow, with the wind blowing under her feet, Bai Jiuxiao carried the winter solstice and galloped past the rubble of the street roofs, walking on the wind, and soon got rid of the guards.
After making sure it was safe, Bai Jiuxiao took Dongzhi to the ground and let him go.
During the winter solstice, my face turned as white as paper, I was so scared.
"Sister Jiujiu, what are you doing? I haven't settled the fish money yet."
"How much will I replenish you?" Bai Jiuxiao said.
"No, why are you running?" Dongzhi was puzzled.
"Didn't you see that the guards were chasing me? If you don't run away, why don't you wait for them to catch me?"
"That's why they chased you because you ran away."
"No, because I went to make a fuss between the groom and the bride. They are probably quarreling at the moment."
"ah?"
*
When Ning Shi moved to the backyard, Shi Lei immediately went forward to report.
"Your Majesty, that woman's Qinggong is very powerful, but our people couldn't catch up."
Ning Shiqian was not surprised.
Just now, she left the side room with her front legs, and he chased her out with his back legs, without even seeing her figure.
"Ask them carefully to see if they know each other." Ning Shiqian pointed to the other fish sellers.
"yes!"
Seeing Ning Shiqian holding the medicine bag dropped by the woman, Shi Lei couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, is she really a disciple of Si Ya?"
"I don't know." Ning Shiqian stared slightly.
All he knew was that there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but he couldn't place where exactly it was familiar.
"But we'll find out soon." He raised the medicine in his hand.
If he could prepare medicine to cure his mother and concubine without even seeing her, then he would undoubtedly be the successor of Si Ya.
*
For safety reasons, Ning Shiqian first asked his trusted doctor Hu to check the package of medicine.
After seeing it, Dr. Hu was greatly amazed and exclaimed that it was actually possible to prepare the medicine in this way. He said that the preparation of the medicine was very strange, but he was also very sure that it was safe.
Ning Shiqian cooked the medicine himself and boiled three bowls of water into one bowl according to the woman's instructions.
Because he doubted Zhuyan's identity, and because there was only one piece of the snake's bones and it was really precious, the bones he gave to Zhuyan were also fake, and Zhuyan didn't realize this either.
After the medicine was cooked, he asked Dr. Hu to test it again and then took it and personally fed it to his mother and concubine.
Not long after taking the medicine, Concubine De woke up. Ning Shiqian was so happy and excited that he thought he was dreaming for a while.
The mother and son seemed to be reunited after being apart for many years. Concubine De burst into tears and Ning Shiqian also had red eyes.
After the mother-in-law was settled and Ning Shi moved back to her room, Shi Lei came to report the results of interrogating the fish sellers.
"They are all from Tianlan Town of Zhao on the other side of the sea. The woman who Qinggong left is called Jiujiu, and the little boy who was kidnapped by her is called Dongzhi, and they also live in Tianlan Town."
"Jiujiu." Ning Shiqian narrowed his eyes slightly.
Suddenly his pupils trembled violently, and a bold idea emerged from his mind.
Is it her?
That's why he felt that inexplicable sense of familiarity.
But he soon denied it again.
impossible.
So many ministers, especially Zhu Jin and others, had personally examined her body that day, so there could be no mistake.
But then he convinced himself again.
It could also be a face-changing technique.
Yes, the art of face-changing can completely transform one person's face into another person's face.
It's possible that the person who drank poison was just a person who looked exactly like her after undergoing a face-changing operation, and she escaped from her shell and went to Tianlan Town.
The more he thought about it, the more he thought it was possible.
After all, Emperor Wen had long known that she was a woman. Since he had known that, he should have thought that one day he would be exposed, so he should have thought of countermeasures, made preparations, and left a way out.
Therefore, it is very possible that her substitute has been prepared a long time ago.
But, how could she be a disciple of Si Ya?
I have never seen her use medical skills, nor have I seen her save anyone.
No, no, it's possible.
Probably.
She put medicated powder on Eleven's gloves and cured Eleven's allergy.
She has the medicinal silk bracelet given by Si Ya.
She and Si Ya have a secret way of communicating called fireworks.
She went to Yunlai to look for Si Ya, and she came to Sanglin to look for Si Ya. She has been looking for him.
She also knew about the Face-Changing Gu, which few people knew about, even his father knew about it. When he mentioned it at that time, she asked if it was the Face-Changing Gu, but at that time, he didn't pay attention to it.
Yes, it's her!
It is said that he has both ears and eyes, but he is blind. Most people cannot say this.
He also knew very well that Shi Lei was his attendant, and said, Shi Lei, your master is blind, and you are also mentally retarded.
That's her!
Ning Shiqian suddenly stood up and told Shi Lei: "Block the news that Zhuyan is dead, block the news that the true successor of Si Ya has appeared, block the news that my mother-in-law has awakened, and wait until I come back to make a decision."
Shi Lei was shocked: "Where is the prince going?"
"Tianlan Town." Ning Shiqian said while taking off his wedding robe.
Shi Lei was shocked: "But the prince is getting married today. What should we do if there are so many guests outside? Why won't the prince show up to toast?"
"Please explain to everyone that the fourth princess is treating my mother-in-law, and I am also there, and I can't get away. Please forgive me, and they will understand."
Anyway, everyone knows that he married Zhuyan just to save his mother and concubine.
"However, although Tianlan Town is only across the sea from Sang Lin, it is still very far away. You will definitely not be able to return in one day. According to the custom, you have to take the bride to the palace to pay her respects the day after the wedding." Shi Lei looked worried.
Ning Shiqian didn't care at all: "It's okay. Just say that I'm still treating my mother and concubine. When it's over, I'll go to the palace to pay my respects."
