Chapter 824: The Powerful Yan Ke + Who is Harming Others (1)
The goose-feather-like snowflakes, accompanied by the cold wind, hit the window frames hard, making a "woooo" sound.
Lin Yuzan looked up at the white sky, then quietly moved towards the charcoal basin, right next to his old rival.
The study environment at Yunfei Academy has always been more difficult than that of the girls' school next door. Each room is equipped with only one charcoal basin for heating, which is placed next to the teacher. Students are strictly prohibited from bringing heaters to class, so they can only wear as much clothes as they can.
The two old men glanced enviously at the heater in Jiang Tingsong's hand above them, and continued to rely on their righteousness to resist the cold.
Jiang Tingsong was keeping an eye on all directions and naturally did not ignore their little movements.
He frowned, a flash of disdain flashing across his eyes as he spoke slowly, "In three days' time, the Imperial Examination will be held. It's truly a blessing from heaven for you all. I imagine you're eager to take the exam, and you have a wealth of knowledge in your mind. But if you're weak, your muscles aren't strong enough, and you can't support yourself, and you pass out at your desk, then even your vast knowledge will be in vain."
As soon as these words fell, the students who were originally rubbing their hands to warm themselves immediately sat up straight and responded loudly: "The master's teachings are well-taught, and the students will remember them in their hearts."
Jiang Tingsong nodded with satisfaction, then turned his head to look at Wang and Lin who were rubbing the charcoal basin, and drove them away, "You two go stand in the back."
Wang and Lin: (▼へ▼メ), this old man is really evil!!!
The two old men walked back with a humble expression on their faces but cursing in their hearts.
Just at this moment, an anxious call was faintly heard from the heavy snow.
Before anyone arrived, the voice came first.
"Mr. Lin, Mr. Wang, something terrible has happened!"
Wang and Lin paused and turned their heads to look out through the window.
Then I saw a figure wearing a straw raincoat staggering towards this side in the snow. This person was none other than Old Man Yu.
The two old men looked at each other and glanced at the other people in the room. They were all listening to Jiang Tingsong's lecture and had no idea what was happening outside.
They both took a step forward again and walked back as if nothing had happened.
However, when they reached the door, they ran out at lightning speed, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared under the cover of heavy snow.
Everyone:...
Zhang Liangchuan was the first to react and quickly stood up, "Master, I'll go get them back!"
After saying that, he rushed out, just like the two people just now, disappearing without a trace in the snow.
Jiang Tingsong was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, slammed the table and roared, "This brat is incorrigible. I must complain to...!"
At the same time, the peaceful atmosphere in Guiyan Tower had already been broken and fell into a tense atmosphere.
Zheng Yu and the aunts in charge who arrived were all holding their breath, waiting for Tianxianzi's pulse diagnosis results.
Tianxianzi carefully examined the child's body and took Thirteen's pulse. Then she said to everyone, "The princess is fine. There is no sterilizing drug in her body. This girl's body is also fine."
Hearing this, Zheng Yu did not relax his frown, but looked at the female doctor who was examining Jiang Tang.
The female doctor also shook her head and replied firmly, "Madam Zheng, the ginger soup is fine."
After reaching these two conclusions, Zheng Yu's tense expression relaxed slightly.
The aunt beside her stepped forward and whispered, "Madam Zheng, could it be that Qingxin really wronged Miss Yan and did not intend to murder Master Yan?"
As soon as she said that, Zheng Yu gave her a warning look: "This matter has not been concluded yet, please do not speculate."
However, the sharp-eared little Yining heard everything clearly. She looked up and asked, "Madam Zheng, what's wrong with Sister Yan Ke?"
Just now, this group of people rushed in. In order to maintain her image, she has been pretending to be confused. She still doesn't know what big thing the little sister has done.
Zheng Yu glared at the talkative person again and replied respectfully, "To Princess Le'an, this morning, Miss Yan carefully prepared a bowl of ginger soup for Master Yan. However, after Master Yan consumed it, he suddenly vomited blood and fell into a coma while teaching a class of Tian-level students. Upon investigation, it was found that there was an extra medicine in Miss Yan's bowl of ginger soup that should not have been there."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yining turned around and looked at the ruined ginger soup: "But the ginger soup that Sister Yanke gave me is delicious! Is Lord Yan not feeling well and is vomiting blood?"
"I have also considered what the princess said, but this is just a preliminary investigation. As for why Lord Yan vomited blood and fell into a coma, Princess Anping is ordering people to investigate." Zheng Yu replied.
Then, she sighed helplessly, "This matter involves an official appointed by the imperial court, and the girls' school cannot make a private decision. I have already sent a letter to the Dali Temple. If they cannot find out the cause before they arrive, they will take over the investigation. Right now, Miss Yan and the other aunt involved are being questioned by Princess Anping."
As she spoke, she raised her head and glanced around casually.
Seeing this, Xiao Yining knew who she was looking for, so she said, "Madam Zheng, Madam Zhao was busy and didn't come with me to the girls' school."
Zheng Yu: ...
Zheng Yu looked away with a hint of embarrassment, then said respectfully, "Since Princess Le'an is alright, I will take my men back to report to Princess Anping."
Little Yining nodded and said politely in a baby voice, "Thank you for your hard work, Ms. Zheng, the aunts, and the medical sisters!"
The solemn atmosphere in Guiyan Tower quietly melted away with the little kid's soft words.
Everyone's mouths curled up into a smile unconsciously, and they left in a mighty manner, carrying the "tools of crime" - ginger soup and food boxes.
The heavy snow outside had not stopped yet. The little boy sent them to the door of Guiyan Tower, then frowned and began to think.
Qiu Yi was puzzled and said, "My Lady, I saw with my own eyes that Miss Yan split the ginger soup in half and gave it to someone else. You are fine, but Master Yan is in trouble. The person who harmed Miss Yan is too stupid. I don't need to think about it, I know that Miss Yan was wronged."
Little Yining glanced at her without comment. Although she didn't know whether Yan Ke had put the contraceptive drug in the ginger soup, her behavior yesterday clearly showed that she was planning to plot against her father in the near future.
I don’t know what kind of plan Yan Ke has prepared, and whether he can conceal it later.
At that moment, 13's cool voice rang out: "The snow has stopped. Do you want to play?"
Little Yining's eyes lit up instantly, and he quickly looked up at the sky, only to see that the heavy snow was gradually becoming sparse. However, after a moment, the snow stopped abruptly, leaving behind a gray sky and a snow-covered scene.
Qiu Yi ran out of Guiyan Tower with a happy face, looked up at the sky, and said happily: "Princess, the snow has really stopped, you can make a snowman now!"
However, the young master's answer was far beyond her expectations.
Xiao Yining lowered her head and hesitated for a moment before she said regretfully, "Sister Qiuyi, something happened to Sister Yanke. I'm going to visit Aunt Anping, so I won't build a snowman."
After saying this, she put on her fox fur hat to cover her entire face, took out two golden beans, and asked her external helper: "Sister San, take me to Aunt Anping!"
As soon as he finished speaking, 13 hugged her in his arms, leaving a footprint on the snow and disappearing from Qiu Yi's sight.
Qiu Yi: ...
The little girl was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and exclaimed, "Oh no, oh no, the princess's ginger soup is gone. If the master finds out, he will scold me!"
Qiu Yi: o(╥﹏╥)o, I’m having a hard time. When will you come back, Aunt Zhao? I miss you…
On the other side, the little kid nestled in 13's arms. After a few roars, they arrived outside the office of Princess Anping.
As 13 descended from the sky, she caught a glimpse of a few furtive little figures squatting at the foot of the wall and eavesdropping in the cold wind. They were none other than the girls from Class B.
And from inside the house, Yan Ke's intermittent sobbing could be heard.
Seeing this, she gestured to 13 to put her behind them and join the eavesdropping team.
She listened for a while, but heard nothing but sobbing. She couldn't help but poke Jin Xingman in front of her and asked quietly, "Sister Manman, what are the words in there?"
The eavesdropping children: ...
They all turned around, looking at the little kid who had appeared out of nowhere with horror, and asked in disbelief, "Why are you here?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone covered their mouths in fear, bent over and tried to escape.
Unfortunately, it was too late. Princess Anping's maid Qiluo came to the door and said in a calm tone, "The princess wants you to come in."
"Yes..." A group of little kids hung their heads, responded resignedly, and followed Qiluo into the house dejectedly.
Princess Anping heard the noise and raised her eyes, looking calmly at the newcomer. When she saw the little kid walking with his head held high and his chest puffed out, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes: "Sister Qing, why are you here?"
Little Yining took a quick glance inside the room and saw Yan Ke standing with her eyes red and swollen, Shi Wanwan standing beside her, and an aunt in purple kneeling on the ground. She felt a little relieved and replied truthfully, "Aunt Anping, Sister Qing heard from Lady Zheng that Sister Yan Ke was in trouble, so she came to see."
Princess Anping nodded slightly and turned her gaze to the little girl.
The children and sisters immediately echoed in a low voice: "We are here to see Yan Ke too."
Princess Anping's cold face was covered with a faint smile. "Since you're here, let's listen together."
The little sister responded obediently again and stood aside. The little kid also walked to Princess Anping.
At this moment, she finally saw the face of the purple-clothed aunt on the ground. It was Qingxin who bought medicine yesterday.
Although this person was kneeling on the ground with his eyes lowered respectfully, his expression was calm.
Little Yining blinked her eyes and said to Princess Anping, "Aunt Anping, the doctor just took Sister Qing'er's pulse, and then Lady Zheng took away Sister Qing'er's ginger soup. Did something happen?"
Upon hearing this, Princess Anping asked with concern, "Did Lady Zheng and the others say anything to Sister Qing?"
The little kid nodded: "The medical lady said that Sister Qing is in good health. Lady Zheng is very happy."
As soon as these words fell, Shi Wanwan beside her spoke up, "Princess Anping, your sister's ginger soup is fine. Does that mean someone else is responsible for harming Lord Yan?"
As she spoke, she looked at Qingxin lying on the ground, and her meaning was obvious.
The little sisters beside them also nodded. They came much earlier than the little kid. Almost as soon as Yan Ke was taken away by her aunt, they came together in the heavy snow. They also knew more about the whole story than the little kid.
"Yes, yes, that infertility medicine, Sister Yan Ke didn't buy it at the pharmacy at all." Jin Xingman said hurriedly.
Cui Zhiyao glared at her unhappily, as if blaming her for not being able to speak. She then took over the conversation and continued to speak to Princess Anping, "Princess, Yan Ke also asked me for the infertility medicine for Li Nu yesterday. However, I am not well-trained and don't know what medicine to give Li Nu without harming her health, so Yan Ke was unable to buy the medicine yesterday."
Princess Anping nodded, gave them a reassuring look, and said softly, "Don't worry, Master Yan is being treated at Shouyaotang. The other aunts are also investigating. We'll know why Master Yan is in a coma soon."
"If I had known someone would use my ginger soup to harm my father, I would have stopped making it..."
Yan Ke burst into tears again, and her younger sisters gathered around her, trying to comfort her in soft voices.
At this moment, there were messy footsteps outside.
Several groups of people met outside the house and entered one after another. Each group brought something with them, and the first thing they brought in was a small cloth bag.
Yan Ke's eyes met the cloth bag, her eyes flashed, she lowered her head and continued to wipe her tears with a handkerchief.
Little Yining was also stunned when she saw the cloth bag. This cloth was used by her father to wrap steamed buns. She suddenly remembered the transaction between her elder sister and her uncle yesterday, and prayed in her heart that her elder sister could get away with it.
The leader opened the cloth bag, finding nothing inside. She replied, "My Lady, this was found under Miss Yan's bed. I just had the doctor at Shouyaotang examine it. This cloth once contained some warming and nourishing herbs. We also found the same herbs in the corner of the small kitchen, among the remaining ingredients, uncooked."
After the man finished speaking, he withdrew. Another person came up and opened a paper bag, reporting, "Princess, this is the residue of the medicine that Qingxin boiled for Master Yan. The prescription is the same as the one she ordered at Shouyaotang yesterday, except that the dosages of a few ingredients have been increased. I went to Qingxin's room again and found that the remaining medicine bag was missing those ingredients."
The reports from these two people made both parties change color.
Yan Ke's face was filled with astonishment and disbelief. The woman on the ground stared at the paper bag in disbelief, clearly also unconvinced by the findings.
Little Yining quickly raised her doubts at the right time, "Aunt Anping, did someone give Lord Yan the wrong medicine?"
"Sister Qing, don't talk and keep listening." Princess Anping held the little girl in her arms and reminded her softly.
Xiao Yining: ≥﹏≤, I can’t talk anymore, Yan Ke, you must give your support!
After hearing what Princess Anping said, the two parties who were about to speak had no choice but to shut up and wait until everyone had finished reporting.
At this time, the third person also came up with a lunch box. She opened the lunch box and found an empty bowl and a bowl of leftovers inside.
The man said, "Princess, this is the breakfast Qingxin prepared for Master Yan this morning. After inspection, the remaining side dishes contain drugs that counteract Master Yan's medicine. The white porridge is fine."
At this point, the perpetrator seemed to have been identified.
Lying on the ground, Qingxin finally couldn't help but kowtow and defend herself, "Princess, please understand. Qingxin was only ordered to arrange for Master Yan's Huang-level lectures, and only meddles in other matters. Besides, Qingxin really didn't need to do anything to get herself killed."
As soon as these words fell, Yan Ke questioned, "But yesterday at Shou Pharmacy, I clearly heard you prescribe medicine for another aunt. How could this medicine be taken by my father?"
Cui Zhiyao also recalled the scene at that time and chimed in, "This is a case of one person treating the other. If Lord Yan takes medicine carelessly, how can he not get into trouble? Besides, if Lord Yan is ill, he shouldn't come to the girls' school to teach the sisters of the Heaven and Yellow levels, so as not to pass on the illness."
As she spoke, she stole a glance at Yan Ke, fearing that her honest words would cause her to misunderstand.
Little Yining also raised her head without thinking too much, blinked her eyes and asked, "Aunt Anping, is Master Yan taking medicine in the girls' school because his family is coaxing him?"
