530 Planting the Dove in a Magpie’s Nest 1 (2/2)

The majestic mountains, the meandering rivers, the wonders of nature. He yearned to be free, to see those sights.

When he saw the longing in those eyes, Fan Jin could feel his heart wince in pain. He forced himself to put up a smile and joked a little, trying to cheer Fan Zhuo up, and the whole meal was filled with laughter.

Seeing Fan Zhuo significantly cheered, Fan Jin finally got back his appetite. And he had just picked up his chopsticks when Jun Xie hit them out of his hand, and they clattered loudly on the floor.

”It's drugged.” Jun Wu Xie narrowed her eyes.

Fan Jin's expression froze.

The smile faded from Fan Zhuo's face.

”They used the same things as before. Are they not capable of anything else?” Jun Wu Xie stood up and dropped the whole table of food outside.

Ever since Ah Jing had been driven out, all the three meals at the bamboo grove were prepared and delivered by Fan Qi's trusted aide. The meals for Fan Zhuo were all medicinal cuisine prepared by Jun Wu Xie and the food sent here usually ended up in Fan Jin's tummy.

”How did that happen? After I came back, I paid attention to the food that was sent here and saw that there were all prepared in my father's personal kitchen before they were delivered here.” Fan Jin said, his face dark.

All the people working in Fan Qi's living quarters, had all been with them for a long time and were absolutely loyal. So how did the fortification medicine get into the food! ?

Who was the person behind it?

”Father would never harm me, so it has to be someone from Father's personal staff.” Fan Zhuo said, his eyes narrowed.

”Little Zhuo's meals are all prepared by Uncle Gong personally and no one else would touch it.” Fan Jin said as he pondered the facts repeatedly in his mind. Due to Fan Zhuo's ill health, they were all very careful with whatever Fan Zhuo ate.
