C56 (2/2)

He naturally could understand the deliberate flattery in the Qin Imperial Physician's eyes. Right now was the time to hire someone, and he would not reject a genius at the door.

”I wonder why First Prince has brought Old official here?”

Jin Chuao set his eyes on Qian Yun, who was already prepared. He placed the basket in front of Qin Imperial Physician and removed the basket's cover, only to see there were some broken pieces of white porcelain inside.

Seeing that, Zhong's smiled. With just this pile of things, she dared to say that it was evidence, she had overestimated Qian Yun.

Qin Imperial Physician was also surprised, was this Qian Jiangjun messing with him?

”Qian Jiangjun, this is?”

Qian Yun did not care about what the Qin Imperial Physician was thinking, he rummaged around, and took out a piece of porcelain, giving it to the Qin Imperial Physician.

Although he was puzzled, Qin Imperial Physician still placed the porcelain piece between his nose and mouth and sniffed. He was slightly doubtful, but he still took a closer look and when he opened his eyes, his eyes were filled with shock.

He looked disbelievingly at Qian Yun, then at First Prince, before once again placing the fragment between his nose and mouth.

After that, imperial physician did not care about everyone's gazes and directly searched through the basket. He finally found a groove in the basket that still had some juice in it and sniffed it, and ignoring the color of the soup, he dipped his finger in the juice and placed it in his mouth.

He spat it out and then kneeled on the ground.

”First Prince, this soup does contain the pollen of the Poppy Datura.”

Everyone present, including Qin Imperial Physician, also looked towards Zhong's. Zhong's's stalk dropped to the ground with a thump as it kneeled, kowtowing non-stop.

”First Prince, Old Master, I was wronged, please let me know.”

Jin Chuao did not reply, even if he was a prince, it was still a matter of the Sun Mansion's family matters, as for how he would handle the situation there, it would still be up to Sun Fuping, but the person who hurt Sun Jinzi, he would not let him off lightly.

Everyone in Jin Country knew about it. The Prime Minister Zhong had three sons and one daughter in total. The three sons, the eldest and the third oldest were serving in the imperial court, and only the second son was obsessed with the techniques of the merchants, and wanted to expand the territory beyond the border.

He had even brought back two pots of Poppy Datura s and offered one to the emperor, while the other was raised deep in the palace.

Back then, Sun Jinzi wanted to marry the First Prince, so how could the people in this palace poison him? The only possibility was that the Zhong's was in the Sun Mansion.

Zhong's continuously kowtowed, causing her hair to fall in disarray. It had been many years since a husband and wife, and Zhong's was also Prime Minister Zhong's beloved daughter, Sun Fuping also couldn't bear to see her in such a state.

”General Qian, is there some kind of misunderstanding?”

”Master!”

Zhong's also didn't think that the first person to stand out and speak would be Sun Fuping. His heart was slightly moved, and his eyes slightly reddened.

”Master Sun, what kind of misunderstanding is this? That day, all of the servants in Jing Xin Yuan, including those in the palace, saw the Zhong's giving the congee of bird's nest to Zi Er.

The Zhong's stared at Qian Yun hatefully, wishing that he could pull the tendons and skin off Qian Yun.

Sun Jinzi lowered her head, her expression gloomy and unreadable. This Poppy Datura was not highly toxic, but it could make the person who took it lose consciousness, fall asleep for a long time, and eventually die from the time that their body was dried up. From the beginning to the end, however, their face had been flushed red.

If the Zhong's used Poppy Datura, it would be hard to not get discovered, and it would be too obvious, so she couldn't be so foolish. As for Sun Jinzi, she was also skilled in medicine. That day, the smell she smelled in the porridge was not that of a Poppy Datura, but instead …

Thinking about that, Sun Jinzi could not help but turn her gaze towards the seated Lance's. There was no happiness on her face, but she was not worried either, as though this matter was completely unrelated to him.

It was even the same wedding ceremony given to Qian's disease at the time of Qian's disease's marriage. However, according to her elder sister, all of her dowries were taken by the Zhong's into the warehouse, and most likely, only the Zhong's would dare to use these things.

Zhong's suddenly opened her eyes wide. This object was indeed from the congee of bird's nest that day, but she had already gotten people to take care of this porcelain.

Sun Fuping's face burned with anger, he had no way to explain himself. He knew that the Zhong's was arrogant and despotic in his residence, with one hand covering the sky, but he had never caused any trouble, so he just kept his eyes open and closed.

Qian Yun had already expressed his dissatisfaction towards Sun Fuping, and now, she was not going to let go either, but he would not let go of the person who had harmed Zi Er.

The look in Jin Chuao's eyes became even colder as he looked at the Zhong's s. Back then, if it wasn't for this woman, it would not be Sun Jinning's turn to accompany him back to the manor. But the Zhong's, after all, was a person of the Prime Minister's Estate, and he could not move against them.

”Since we have already found out who poisoned him, we shall hand this matter over to General Qian and let him handle it. This Palace is hungry.”

”body of concubine will arrange it right away.”

Seeing that it was a foregone conclusion, Zhong's could not be bothered to move even when he was kneeling on the ground. Seems like Sun Fuping would not help him speak any further.

Seeing that Lance's was about to get up and make arrangements, the silent Sun Jinmeng hesitated for a while, then finally got up and knelt in front of First Prince and Sun Fuping.

”First Prince, father, the Poppy Datura could not have been sent by my mother.”

Lance's stopped in his tracks, and turned his head to look in their direction. Sun Jinmeng coincidentally looked in his direction as well. The smiling face of the Pear Blossom Rain was filled with hatred, as if she wanted to eat him alive.

”That day, the medicine my mother was going to drug wasn't Mandala, but lion pollen.”

Zhong's did not hide this from her daughter that day, so if her daughter did not think of this matter, she would have forgotten. In a moment, his gaze regained its clarity, and he crawled in front of Sun Fuping, grabbing onto Sun Fuping's clothes.

”Master, this Poppy Datura was really not poisoned by me. Master, you have to believe me.”
