[There is no pond in the inner courtyard, and Cousin An Ning is a woman. If she is really poisoned, she will naturally avoid everyone. It would be better for me to find an antidote for her! 】
Qiao Jiaojiao decisively stretched out her fingers to pull at the Gongde Mall.
[At present, it seems that the Restoration Talisman is the most useful, it can save the money, and I can afford to replace it now. 】
[Let’s see if there is anything more symptomatic, such as a detoxification charm? This shouldn't be considered poisonous. Or is there an antidote? 】
Qiao Jiaojiao looked down from above, and her eyes suddenly became focused.
[Refreshing Talisman? What a perfunctory name...]
[Let me see, it can be used to refresh the mind, eliminate negative states, symptomatic drugs, sleeping powder, aphrodisiacs and other things that disrupt the mind. 】
【found it! This is it! 80 merit points required for redemption? It’s not expensive, it’s not expensive, as long as it can save cousin An Ning, it’s not expensive! 】
Qiao Jiaojiao had just found the right medicine, but Qiao Zhongguo had already entered the inner courtyard.
Now that the front of the inner courtyard was full of ladies and ladies who came to attend the wedding banquet, Qiao Zhongguo naturally couldn't show up, so he went directly to the back of the inner courtyard.
This is the Qiao family's back garden, where the fourth prince usually practices martial arts.
Qiao Zhongguo was thinking of someone to call Mrs. Qiao, but a secret guard had appeared.
Qiao Zhongguo recognized the person at a glance and asked quickly: "Eleven, how is the situation in the backyard?"
Qiao Shiyi hurriedly replied: "General, my wife is in the back garden now, please come with me!"
When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, she knew something was seriously wrong!
Under the guidance of Qiao Shiyi, Qiao Zhongguo quickly found Mrs. Qiao, and saw that she was holding a lantern in person and was looking for something anxiously!
"mother!"
"lady!"
Qiao Zhongguo hugged Qiao Jiaojiao and greeted her. Only then did he realize that Mrs. Qiao's head was covered in sweat and her face was extremely anxious.
"Madam, what's wrong? Did something happen to An Ning?"
When Mrs. Qiao saw Qiao Zhongguo, she almost burst into tears. She did not dare to delay and said quickly:
"Husband, at the banquet just now, a girl accidentally spilled her drink on An Ning. An Ning left the banquet and went to change clothes. Aunt Zhu who was beside her followed her in person."
"Shortly after An Ning left, the eldest princess also got up and went to change clothes."
"I didn't know that the Grand Princess was planning on An Ning, so she didn't ask a few more people to follow her. It wasn't until the secret guards came to report that something was wrong."
"Then I went out with Nanny Liu, Liu Mo and the others to look for the person. As a result, the banquet was searched in the dressing yard and in the back garden. I walked this road several times and never found peace!"
"Husband, I'm really worried. It involves An Ning's reputation, which is also fatal to An Ning, so I don't dare to call others too much. What should I do?"
When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, her heart suddenly surged with anger!
【Exactly the same trick! 】
[They all accidentally spilled drinks on Tan Hanchi and cousin An Ning, and then they waited for them to go to the dressing room to do something. It was definitely the work of the eldest princess! 】
When Mrs. Qiao heard this, she became even more worried!
It’s already very difficult to calm that child down. If something happens to her again in the Qiao Mansion, her aunt will definitely be blamed for her death!
Qiao Zhongguo noticed Mrs. Qiao's worry and panic and hurriedly said, "Madam, don't panic. An Ning has lived in Qiao Mansion for a while and is very familiar with this back garden."
"That child is smart. If she discovers something is wrong, she will not sit still and wait for death."
Qiao Jiaojiao nodded repeatedly when she heard this.
[That’s right, during the time when cousin An Ning lived at home, whenever my mistress didn’t come, cousin An Ning and I would play in the back garden! 】
[If the eldest princess really succeeds, cousin An Ning will definitely hide in order to preserve her reputation! 】
Mrs. Qiao clutched the lantern handle tightly and forced herself to calm down after hearing the words of Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Jiaojiao.
Yes, don’t panic!
As An Ning's aunt, this is when An Ning needs her the most!
Put yourself in An Ning's shoes, where might she hide? What is there in this back garden that is not easily discovered?
Almost instantly, an idea flashed in Mrs. Qiao’s mind!
There is another special place in the back garden, which she used to trap Miss Meng's family!
An Ning also knew that place. If she wanted to avoid others, she would most likely walk in there!
"Husband! Locust tree formation! I remember, locust tree formation!"
Mrs. Qiao immediately stepped up and hurried to the area near the dressing room, then turned in the other direction.
When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, she suddenly realized.
That’s right! That sure is a great hiding place!
The locust tree array is in the depths of the back garden. Very few people come here. In order to prevent guests from going astray, no lights are hung here, making it completely dark.
This was arranged by Qiao Zhongguo on a whim. When the two brothers were young, Qiao Zhongguo often threw them in and let them find their own way out.
Later, when the brothers grew older, the locust tree formation could no longer trap them, and Qiao Zhongguo rarely came.
At this time, when I stepped into this deep path, I could only feel the dark shadows, and it was a bit eerie.
Mrs. Qiao was concerned about Zuo An Ning, so she raised her voice and shouted: "An Ning?"
Almost at the same time, a panicked voice rang out: "Miss! Is it Miss! Miss! Come and save the little miss!"
Qiao Jiaojiao sat upright suddenly!
[It’s Grandma Zhu’s voice! Cousin An Ning is really inside! 】
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qiao stepped in immediately. Qiao Zhongguo immediately rushed to Mrs. Qiao and held her hand tightly.
"Madam, follow your husband!"
"Mother Zhu, please shout a few more times!"
Aunt Zhu was already crying with joy when she heard the sound, "Uncle! The little lady and I are here!"
Qiao Zhongguo followed the voice and walked decisively among the locust trees. Soon, Grandma Zhu's voice was very close at hand.
Qiao Zhongguo stopped and said, "Madam, it's just around the corner in front. It's inconvenient for my husband to go there, and Jiaojiao is also worried. You can go with Jiaojiao."
Qiao Jiaojiao nodded quickly.
【Yeah! Mom, please take me with you. I can save cousin An Ning! 】
Mrs. Qiao didn't dare to delay. She took Qiao Jiaojiao and ran over quickly.
Turning around a rockery in front of her, Mrs. Qiao saw Zuo Aning slumped on the ground.
Through the light of the lantern, I could see Zuo Anning's bun was loose and her face was crimson. She was curled up with blurred eyes, and from time to time she let out ambiguous groans in pain.
Her clothes had completely unraveled, revealing her white shoulders, with a few bloody scratches vaguely visible on them.
Aunt Zhu just knelt aside and held Zuo Aning's hand tightly to prevent her from hurting herself.
"peaceful!"
Mrs. Qiao was heartbroken and immediately ran to Zuo Anning's side.
When Grandma Zhu saw Mrs. Qiao, she burst into tears.
"Miss, please save the little lady!"
Qiao Jiaojiao did not hesitate, and while Mrs. Qiao leaned over to put down her kung fu, she hurriedly walked to the other side of Zuo Anning, thinking to herself:
【Convert! 】
The next moment, she placed her right hand tightly on Zuo An Ning's back, and a faint golden light emitted from her palm...
