After working hard all afternoon, several people cleaned the yard from the inside out and made some simple dinner. After eating, they went back to their houses to rest.
Lu Qingtang was lying on the bed, his mind filled with what Ji Wenzhan had said to him last night.
When Ji Wuxuan returned from the Medicine King Valley, he was indeed poisoned and almost died.
The old King of Zhennan already favored this younger son, and since he couldn't be King of Zhennan, it hurt him even more. My son was almost killed, and I couldn't ignore it, so I submitted a plan to impeach Shui Fangye to the court.
Hearing this, Lu Qingtang asked Ji Wenzhan, "Is it possible that the medicine Yaowanggu gave Ji Wuxuan was to fight poison with poison? Maybe the doctor invited was not good at medical skills and did not check it out, so he wrongly blamed Yaowanggu."
Ji Wenzhan shook his head, "It's impossible. My father... our father said that my second uncle was about to die at that time. Even if you use poison to fight poison, you must control the amount, otherwise wouldn't it be harmful to others?"
This makes sense. Whether as a doctor or as a child of the Ji family, she thinks there is no problem.
So Ji Wenzhan went on to talk to him about his grudges with the Shui family.
Not long after the old prince impeached Shui Fangye, the court issued an imperial edict and severely reprimanded Shui Fangye. Those in the court who acted according to the prevailing situation took the opportunity to impeach Shui Fangye and recounted his past events with added detail. If there weren't others who could help speak up, Shui Fangye, the chieftain, might not be able to survive.
Later, the people of the Shui family were not convinced and secretly sent someone to drug the old prince.
The poor old prince was already old. Even though the poison was chronic, it almost killed half of his life. The old prince lay in bed for three months.
Afterwards, Ji Wuxuan was furious and wanted to go to Yaowang Valley for revenge, but Ji Wuhen stopped him once. Later, he secretly went there again. As soon as he arrived in southern Yunnan, he was brought back by Ji Wuhen.
Hearing this, Lu Qingtang had another question, "How do you know that my grandfather's chronic poison was administered by someone from Yaowang Valley? Maybe someone framed him."
Ji Wenzhan spread his hands and said, "Dad said the same thing, so he kept stopping his second uncle from being so impulsive."
Later, Ji Wuhen personally went to Yaowang Valley to ask for the antidote. He didn't say anything about the process, but he thought it wouldn't go smoothly, otherwise he wouldn't be rejected. But he was lucky enough to meet his mother Hua Rou. She not only saved the seriously injured Ji Wuhen, but also helped the old Zhennan King detoxify. You will know what happened next.
After learning about the grievances between the Shui family and the Ji family, Lu Qingtang changed his plan.
Knowing that the other party is an enemy but still going over to live with them under the same roof, Lu Qingtang can't do it.
The purpose of this trip is not only to participate in the Medical God Conference, but also to find out her mother's life experience, so she doesn't want to get into trouble with anyone.
But now she regrets it.
Since the mother can detoxify the poison of Yaowang Valley, she should be related to Yaowang Valley, and she should go to Yaowang Valley to look for clues.
While cleaning the room in the afternoon, she also saw a lot of things about Yaowang Valley. Although they were all watermarks of medicinal prescriptions, they were enough to prove the relationship between her mother and her mother.
During the meal, she asked Ji Wenzhan about the route to Yaowang Valley and decided to visit Yaowang Valley tomorrow. However, the Medical God Conference has not started yet, so what reasons can she use to enter without being suspected.
This is somewhat difficult.
Both Shui Xingyue and Shui Xingyao had seen her face, and if she was recognized in Yaowang Valley, they might get misunderstood.
Turning over, Lu Qingtang thought about countermeasures. After much deliberation, he decided to discuss it with Ji Wenzhan first.
She got up and put on her coat and went to the room where Zeng Ke and Ji Wenzhan lived. Ji Wenzhan was still awake like her, but only the heartless Zeng Ke was sleeping soundly.
Ji Wenzhan poured her a glass of hot water and asked her what she was doing so late.
Lu Qingtang held the tea cup, glanced at Zeng Ke who was sleeping, and said to Ji Wenzhan: "I want to go to Yaowang Valley to find out about mother's true identity. It's just that our identities are known to the brothers Shui Xingyue and Shui Xingyao. The Shui family and the Ji family We have a grudge, and if we investigate openly, we will definitely not be able to find what we want. I want to use Zeng Ke's disguise to sneak into Yaowang Valley with a different face, so that we can maybe find what we want to find."
Ji Wenzhan's face showed uncertainty, "Whether this is a bit risky, if they find out, I won't know for sure."
Lu Qingtang nodded, "I know my brother's concerns, but this is the only thing I can do right now, but I still have to wait for Mo Zeshen to come back and discuss it with him carefully. After all, the three children have to be left to him. If he really doesn't want me to I can only think of another way, but if you don’t agree, I don’t have to say anything tomorrow.”
Ji Wenzhan frowned and thought for a moment, "Let me think about it first."
As he spoke, he smiled again, "If you really sneak into Yaowang Valley, you won't be able to see the children in a short time. Don't you miss them?"
Lu Qingtang lowered his eyes and sighed slightly, "To be honest, I will definitely think about it. The children have never been away from me for more than half a day since they were young. I am not hard-hearted, but I am helpless about some things."
Ji Wenzhan shook his head helplessly. He paused and then said: "Otherwise, I will sneak into Yaowang Valley with Zeng Ke in disguise, and you can take care of the children in Peach Blossom Stream."
After hearing this, Lu Qingtang immediately refused, "No, mother knows medical skills. If you want to find the truth, you must start with medical skills. Although Zeng Ke studied for a few days, he only learned a few hairs. Although I am not very proficient, But you have already entered the door, and at least you can touch the truth with some experience. When you go to Yaowang Valley, you can only contact some ordinary people at most. If you want to find out your mother's identity, you must use medical skills as a guide. You know what I mean. ?"
Ji Wenzhan nodded in understanding, and then fell into silence again.
His expression was solemn, his brows furrowed, and he looked up at himself from time to time, his eyes full of worry.
Lu Qingtang couldn't help laughing, "Why are you looking at you like this? It's as if you are parting from life or death. Don't worry, I will reveal my identity at the critical moment to protect myself. I am a member of the imperial court, they don't dare to do anything to me. , just keep your heart in your stomach."
Ji Wenzhan seemed hesitant to speak. He turned his face and looked at Zeng Ke who was sleeping soundly. He was still sleeping soundly and even snored.
He curled his lips in disgust and said in a low voice: "I'm the most worried if you take him there. You see, he goes to bed after eating enough. The first thing he does when he wakes up is to ask if the meal is ready. In the afternoon, the foreigner cleaned two tables. How can I trust such a person to follow you? He might even betray you."
Listening to Ji Wenzhan's words, the corners of Lu Qingtang's lips raised slightly. She stood up and walked forward, reaching out to tuck Zeng Ke into bed. Seeing that his eyes were closed, he looked a little more well-behaved than his mean look during the day, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud again.
Ji Wenzhan on the side was a little surprised, "I care about you, but you actually smile. Do you still regard me as your elder brother?"
His voice was a bit loud, causing Zeng Ke to turn over on the bed, and Lu Qingtang quickly made a gesture to silence him.
Ji Wenzhan quickly covered his mouth with his hands.
After a long time, the person on the bed fell into a deep sleep again, and Lu Qingtang finally spoke.
She said: "Brother, you don't know something. Zeng Ke looks timid and likes to brag. These are just superficial symptoms. You may not believe it when I tell you. He once blocked a kitchen knife for me and his hand was almost cut off. .”
Ji Wenzhan looked in disbelief. He stared at Zeng Ke for a long time before he said, "How is this possible? He blocked the knife for you. Are you saying the opposite?"
Lu Qingtang smiled and said with an indifferent expression, "That's true."
No unnecessary explanation is needed, just sincerity from the heart can be convincing.
Ji Wenzhan was silent.
After a long while, he spoke again, "Well, since you are going, you have to take me with you, and the three of us will go together. Zeng Ke doesn't know martial arts and can't protect you at critical moments, but I can."
Seeing that Ji Wenzhan had already said everything, Lu Qingtang couldn't refuse, so he nodded in agreement.
The brother and sister exchanged a few more pleasantries before Lu Qingtang left and returned to his room.
It was really hard to convince Ji Wenzhan, but she also had to convince Mo Zeshen and think about how to prevent the babies from crying because they couldn't see her.
Although Su Mu and Kou Dan are more experienced than themselves in raising children, they are still not the biological mothers of the children.
There are some things and some words that she can say but they cannot.
She didn't even know how to find them or where to find them. She could only act according to the situation, let alone how soon she could come back to see them.
Forget it, don’t think about it, we’ll talk about it tomorrow.
She was so sleepy now that her eyes were almost glued together, and she didn't want to think about anything else.
Maybe she couldn't even pass Mo Zeshen's test.
Closing his eyes, Lu Qingtang quickly fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Lu Qingtang got up and prepared the children's breakfast with Sumukoudan, and then made others' breakfast together.
After breakfast, Ji Wenzhan took a few people to meet Mo Zeshen to prevent them from finding the way, while Lu Qingtang took the babies to pick up pheasant eggs in the yard.
There used to be a chicken coop in the yard, but because it was uninhabited all year round, the chicken coop was occupied by dozens of pheasants, leaving many eggs.
Yesterday she took the babies to pick up the fresh wild eggs and cleaned up all the remaining rotten eggs. This morning she laid a lot more eggs, enough for them to eat for more than ten days.
After picking up the eggs, Lu Qingtang took the baby to pick fruits near the thatched house.
These fruits are all natural, and she has checked them all one by one, and they are all edible.
Stepping on the small basket, the three babies returned home loaded with fruits. These fruits could be eaten for several days.
When they came back, Ji Wenzhan happened to be back with Mo Zeshen. The babies naturally missed Mo Zeshen after not seeing him all night and clung to him like pendants. But Mo Zeshen only had Lu Qingtang in his eyes.
Lu Qingtang was naturally embarrassed to say anything in front of everyone, so after lunch, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. Lu Qingtang had just accused Mo Zeshen of not paying attention to his image.
Mo Zeshen immediately turned his face and pinned down Lu Qingtang who was making the bed.
