Chapter 318: Disguised as a man to conquer the noble prince 31
This night was a long and torturous night for Ji Ning. He shouldered the responsibility of protecting the safety of the monarchs, but he let the monarchs encounter danger one after another.
Ji Ning couldn't imagine, if Mr. Liu hadn't turned the tide, how he would have confessed to the prince.
Xiao Zhan's eyes slowly moved to Ji Ning, and he put down his chopsticks: "Get up and talk to me. I didn't expect this, so I don't blame you."
He is not a person who likes to express his anger. Xiao Zhan may seem a little cold to outsiders, but he can be regarded as a tolerant lord for his subordinates who follow him loyally.
This is an era when princes, nobles and contempt of the people, natural class differences endow them with the power to act arbitrarily.
Shu Ange had a good impression of Ji Ning. Seeing him blame herself so much, she put down her chopsticks: "The people behind the scenes are thoughtful and cunning. This matter is very unavoidable, and Master Ji doesn't need to blame himself."
Hearing the two of them say this, Ji Ning felt even more ashamed. He knelt down on his knees and returned with a sonorous voice, "Thank you for your understanding, Junhou Liu Lang. Ji Ning will do her best to find out the mastermind behind the scenes.
Ji Ning's loyalty made Shu Ange a little stunned. Xiao Zhan lowered his eyes slightly and instructed, "Go down and investigate, the servant girl in Madam's room has been abnormal recently."
"Mr. Ji may wish to check again, there may have been some differences in the sachets or other items on their bodies."
After Ji Ning wrote down Shu Ange's words, he thanked him and left.
After he left, Shu Ange looked sideways at Xiao Zhan: "Azhan, how is Mrs. Yuan's health?"
Referring to his mother, Xiao Zhan's eyes flashed with a hint of sadness: "Auntie is weak and often falls asleep without realizing it. Several doctors have jointly diagnosed, but they can't find the specific cause."
Xiao Zhan had already personally asked her mother, the doctor, and the maid servants beside her yesterday.
It's just that Mrs. Yuan herself can't tell why, and others don't even know where Mrs. Yuan's illness came from.
The strangeness of Mrs. Yuan's illness has affected the Xiao family up and down.
Xiao Zhan's father, the current head of the Xiao family and the Yuan family, have tried every means to hire famous doctors, but they have always found nothing.
"I don't know when Mrs. Yuan's symptoms appeared?"
"Nearly a month, but it was not serious at first, and the time of lethargy has increased in recent days."
Xiao Zhan frowned, his fingers crossed everything involuntarily, and he didn't want to use the porridge soup again.
On the way to Jiankang, Shu Ange had already considered Mrs. Yuan's time to see a doctor, but now seeing Xiao Zhan's suffering, she took the initiative to say, "Mrs. Yuan's illness is strange, and Yunyang is quite good at solving intractable diseases. , why don't you let me see my wife, maybe I can see some clues."
She didn't dare to say too much, she only said it safely, for fear that Xiao Zhan had too much hope, and if she could do nothing, it would cause his emotions to fluctuate.
Xiao Zhan was silent for a moment, then raised his eyes and said, "I'll take you to meet A-Niang. I'll keep the medical treatment a secret for now. I just say that you are the guest I brought back from Muyang."
Naturally, he wanted Shu Ange to see a doctor for his mother, but her mother's illness was always creepy, and there were people in the dark who attacked him again and again.
Xiao Zhan's status is noble, and those people dare not do anything to him openly. But Shu Ange was different. It was easy for the other party to frame her.
He didn't want to drag Shu Ange into this muddy water, but he couldn't bear to give up any chance to save his mother.
Shu Ange felt that Xiao Zhan was worried and wanted to share his worries, but he couldn't do it. He hesitated and asked again and again, "Azhan, if something happens to you, who in this manor will benefit the most?"
