When Li Ran and the others arrived at Guanyi, Li Ran finally woke up.
According to their subsequent analysis, Nanzi's poison should have been administered in batches.
In other words, wine, food, and sandalwood may all be poisonous.
Especially for the later sandalwood statue, after the dancing girl brought a burst of rouge energy, it was even more difficult for people to detect the clues.
And Li Ran can now almost conclude that the weird sandalwood smell is obviously the medicine that induces the poison!
Just because Li Ran was Nanzi's target, so he was drinking and eating meat all the time, and he was the closest to Sandalwood, so his fall was particularly serious.
In comparison, Fan Li was not persuaded to drink much, so it was relatively light.
Gong Eryue had the mildest symptoms because she didn't drink alcohol or eat meat and only smelled a little sandalwood.
As for Chu Dang, he still looked heartless. Just because he drank too much, he was knocked to the ground.
When he arrived at Guanyi, Li Ran drank several glasses of water one after another, and then he managed to stabilize his mind. He couldn't help but secretly thought:
"It's so dangerous. If Yue'er hadn't appeared, I might have..."
Li Ran didn't dare to think about what happened next.
At this time, Duanmu Ci rushed over from outside, scratching his head and saying:
"My grandpa came back early just now, but for some reason he kept sleeping in the carriage. I wonder what happened at the banquet?"
So, Li Ran told them all about how they were poisoned.
After Duanmuci heard this, he couldn't help but said angrily:
"Nanzi is really reckless in everything she does! My grandma is old, if something unexpected happens, can she afford it?!"
Li Ran sighed:
"However, fortunately, Nanzi is not trying to kill people, so the amount of poison used is very small, and it is not easy to detect. I think Master Boyu will be fine, right?"
Hearing this, Duanmu Ci couldn't help but nodded and said:
"Since this Nanzi wants to plot something against you, it seems that this place is not suitable for staying for a long time. We might as well give her a farewell and leave right now!"
"In this case, I will contact my father now. My father knows the whole story and will definitely come to help us evacuate!"
Indeed, with Duanmu Ju and Qu Yuan's ability in Weiguo, it would not be difficult to send Li Ran and his party away.
However, it is very inconvenient for the family now.
Of course Li Ran also knew the difficulty, so he pondered for a while and then replied:
"Now, since at the banquet, Mrs. Wei has made it clear that she will let us go tomorrow. I thought we could wait and see for another day!"
"However, just in case, if it is convenient for Zigong, we can arrange for the servants of my Li Mansion to escape first!"
"Nanzi's goal is me, so it shouldn't be too difficult for them! In this way, if the situation really changes, we can do things easily!"
Hearing this, Duanmu Ci immediately bowed and nodded in agreement.
However, he was still puzzled by Nanzi's purpose. After the ceremony, he couldn't help but ask again:
"But I don't know...Why does Nanzi insist on keeping Mr.? Is it just to keep Mr. to serve in the Wei Kingdom?"
After hearing this, Gong Eryue said angrily:
"She! It's a lie to keep Mr. in Weiguo. I see! She just wants to get Mr.!"
Li Ran was said to be quite embarrassed for a moment, and he was embarrassed to tell Nanzi about "borrowing seeds" from him.
However, Duanmu Ci and Fan Li are not stupid people. When they heard Gong Eryue's words, they couldn't help but look at each other and both couldn't help but smile knowingly.
…
The next morning, Qu Yuan also woke up.
He always felt that something was wrong about what happened last night, but he couldn't explain it. I thought it was because I drank too much, so I didn't think much about it.
Duanmu Ci also wanted to avoid worrying his wife, so he didn't tell him explicitly.
Nanzi came in person and appeared in front of Li Ran again in the name of sending Li Ran off.
At this time, Li Ran was standing next to Gong Eryue and Liguang, and Nanzi's eyes immediately fell on Gong Eryue.
She was now back in women's clothing and covered with a veil. Nanzi couldn't help but be stunned, but he smiled and shook his head, looking quite helpless.
Then, he looked at Liguang again, then turned to look at Li Ran:
"This... must be my concubine, right?"
When Liguang heard this, she also raised her hands to her forehead, knelt down and saluted:
"My little daughter Li Ji, please pay homage to Mrs. Wei Jun."
Nanzi looked up and down and smacked his lips:
"My concubine is really beautiful and smart! It can be said that like father, like daughter! Hey... How wonderful would it be for me to have such a smart and clever child?"
Li Ran smiled slightly when he heard this:
"This is my only daughter. She has been pampered since she was a child. I am afraid she will lose her etiquette. Please don't blame me, Madam Jun."
Li Ran's humble words also meant to warn Nanzi: I, Li Ran, only have one daughter. If you want to get your attention from her, I may fight you tooth and nail!
Nanzi was not stupid, and he naturally heard the underlying meaning of Li Ran's words. But he was not angry and just said:
"Haha, Xiaojun came here today specially to say goodbye to you sir!"
Li Ran bowed and said:
"Mrs. Jun is true to her word, and I respect you! If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely come to Weiguo to see Mrs. Jun again!"
Nanzi turned around and looked into the distance, and said sadly:
"After we say goodbye today, I'm afraid we'll never see each other again! ...Mr. Ziming, Xiaojun has benefited a lot from these few days of communication with him! I really wish I could have my husband by my side all the time, or maybe If Xiaojun can be like this girl and serve you, you will have no regrets in this life!"
Li Ran turned around and glanced at Gong Eryue, then smiled and said:
"To tell you the truth, Madam Jun, I have been alone since my wife passed away. And this Miss Yue is the new wife I am about to marry!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was in an uproar.
This also included Fan Li. Although Fan Li had always supported Li Ran and Gong Eryue being together, he never expected that Li Ran would announce the matter in public at this time!
When Gong Eryue heard this, her face immediately turned red, and even her neck turned red.
Hearing this, Nanzi couldn't help but turn around and looked at Gong Eryue, with a hint of jealousy and a hint of heartbeat in his eyes.
"Oh?! It turns out that Sir already has someone he likes. No wonder..."
Nanzi hesitated to speak, but then he sighed again and sighed:
"Hey...it's a pity that I'm afraid Xiaojun won't be able to eat this wedding feast, sir."
"Now that we've reached this point, Xiaojun only hopes that your husband will have a smooth journey... Xiaojun and your husband will say goodbye!"
On the other side, Duanmuci was seen kneeling at the knees of He Yuyuan, but he still refused to get up.
Qu Yuan said:
"Ci'er, go quickly. You must study hard with Da Xian! Our Duanmu family and Zang family will still be counting on you in the future!"
Duanmuci choked up and said:
"My grandma is old, Ci'er should have been by my side..."
Qu Yuan shook his head and said:
"Hey! Why do you need to say this for Ci'er? If Ci'er stays at home, how can he get ahead in the future? Then, won't the Duanmu family and the Zang family just be left in the cold?! Ci'er must not have such thoughts. When Ci'er becomes famous, even though my uncle is no longer here, if someone knows about it, they will definitely be happy for Ci'er!"
Duanmu Ci knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times. After Qu Yuan accepted it, he helped him up.
Duanmuci then followed Li Ran into the carriage and waved goodbye to him.
Nanzi watched Li Ran's carriage drive away, but for some reason, he felt quite reluctant to leave. Only when she was completely out of sight did Wang Sunjia follow him into a house.
I just heard that Wang Sunjia was unwilling to say:
"Madam, are you just going to watch him leave Weiguo like this?"
Nanzi was silent for a long time.
"Forget it, let him go to Zhouyi. If something happens to him in Weiguo, it may not be a good thing for us! Didn't you see the reaction of Zang Boyu and his Duanmu family? Do you think Li Ran will be killed at this moment? Is it appropriate to kill in Weiguo?"
"Tian Qi kept saying that he wanted to kill him, but Li Ran just went to Qi State not long ago, didn't he still escape unscathed?"
"Why should we make wedding clothes for others if they don't even dare to do it?"
Wang Sunjia also thought about it carefully and couldn't help but said:
"What Madam said seems to make sense..."
In fact, what Nanzi didn't know was that Tian Qi didn't want to kill Li Ran, but it was really difficult for him to do so.
However, looking at this matter from the perspective of Nanzi and others, they believe that the reason why Tian Qi chose to be "lenient" to Li Ran was just because he did not want to dirty his hands.
But now, I want to leave this dirty work to others.
