Chapter 116 Southern Border
Shen Mingjiao had no idea that someone was plotting against her secretly, and as soon as she returned to the mansion, she clutched her hungry stomach and ordered Haitang to bring food.
Feng Lisheng came back all the way, even though he didn't smell, Shen Mingjiao still pushed him to wash up with a look of disgust.
When the food was served, Feng Lisheng also came out refreshed.
The two sat down to eat, and Shen Mingjiao asked casually, "Is it going well this time?"
Feng Lisheng shook his head after a pause: "Something happened."
Thinking of something, he said: "You will let Miss Cui come over later, I will ask her for help."
Shen Mingjiao asked: "What happened?"
"Fang Dacheng's arm was scratched by a hidden weapon. There is poison in the dark air. Doctor Han said that the poison may come from southern Xinjiang. Miss Cui is from the Red Lotus Sect. She should know a thing or two about the poison."
The reason why he didn't tell Shen Mingjiao what he was investigating was not because he didn't trust her. It's just that this is not a good thing, there is no need to make her worry for nothing.
And according to his understanding, Shen Mingjiao might not want to know.
Shen Mingjiao really didn't want to know, she tactfully didn't ask, "Okay, I'll let the concierge go to Duke Lu's mansion after dinner."
"Hey, by the way, you said that the poison in Commander Fang came from southern Xinjiang?"
Feng Lisheng nodded in doubt: "That's what Doctor Han said, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered that last time Lingling said that the poison in Qin Yan was also a secret medicine from southern Xinjiang."
Mainly, she was deeply impressed by Cui Lingling's detoxification method.
Feng Lisheng paused slightly with his hand holding the chopsticks. He didn't know that Qin Yan had been poisoned before. Think of the late first princess. Feng Lisheng intuitively felt that there must be some connection between the two.
Not an hour later, Cui Lingling came over, accompanied by Qin Yan with drooping eyebrows and a face of reluctance,
Shen Mingjiao couldn't help but look at Qin Yan a few more times, mainly because what Cui Lingling said earlier was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
At first glance, Qin Yan's complexion seemed to be a little weaker than last time, but Cui Lingling's expression was full of energy.
Shen Mingjiao felt deep sympathy for Qin Yan.
Several people turned around the corridor and entered the flower hall in the front yard. At this moment, a group of white shadows rushed towards Cui Lingling and Shen Mingjiao who were walking side by side in front.
Qin Yan was startled, instinctively stepped forward and grabbed Cui Lingling's hand, pulling him back.
Cui Lingling stuck out her tongue at him, tilted her head and smiled with eyebrows and eyes crooked: "Husband, you are so nervous about me!"
Qin Yan turned away from embarrassment and ignored her. Only then did he notice that the white shadow pounced on him was actually a little silver fox. Xiao Xuetuan arched obediently in Shen Mingjiao's arms.
Cui Lingling curiously stepped forward and reached out to touch Xiaoxuetuan's soft hair.
Shen Mingjiao directly stuffed Xiaoxuetuan into her arms, and said with a soft smile, "Isn't he very cute?"
Cui Lingling took it and shook it violently in her hand: "It's quite cute, but it's a pity you can't eat fox meat."
She is probably one of the few girls who doesn't like cute little animals. In her eyes, little animals can only be divided into edible and non-edible.
Feng Lisheng on the side narrowed his eyes thoughtfully when he saw Qin Yan's sharp movements.
On the way, Shen Mingjiao had told Cui Lingling the purpose of letting her come here.
Arriving at the flower hall, Fang Dacheng had already come over to wait.
Cui Lingling glanced at the face of the other party, and probably had some guesses in her heart. Even so, after feeling the pulse, she still turned her head and looked at Qin Yan in surprise:
"The poison in him is exactly the same as yours? I remember the master said that this kind of medicine is very rare! Could it be that you have met the same enemy?"
