"I also think that if Old Man Zhang still can't let go of Zhang Yingzi and wants to follow him, he should at least be a little wary." Li Mumu said, "If we don't say anything and let Old Man Zhang pass by like this, then Having said that, I’m afraid I won’t be able to pass the test in my heart.”

"Then tell him the truth." Gu Shangqing said, "I have not been at home these days. How is Old Man Zhang's health? Can he bear such heavy news?"

"Doctors come here every day to check Old Man Zhang's pulse. Doctor Lu also came here the day before yesterday." Li Mumu said, "Both Doctor Lu and Doctor Li said that Old Man Zhang's body is recovering well, but it's just that the poisoning doesn't happen so quickly over time." It will return to normal, but it still needs some conditioning.”

"These days, I see that old man Zhang is in good health and spirit, and he and his father have turned over his vegetable patch again." Li Mumu said, "Apart from being concerned about why Zhang Yingzi didn't come out, everything else is fine. good."

"Zhang Yingzi will leave the capital in five days." Gu Shangqing said, "If you want to tell Old Man Zhang, you have to do it as soon as possible. Old Man Zhang should also prepare a lot of things."

Li Mumu nodded and said: "Tomorrow I will call Doctor Li to guard him first, and then I will talk to Old Man Zhang. If there is anything wrong with Old Man Zhang, at least Doctor Li will be by his side."

"I will also rest at home tomorrow, and I will be with you."

The two of them agreed, and the next day they sent their servants to invite Dr. Li.

Then we went to Old Man Zhang's courtyard with Dr. Li.

"Doctor Li, please wait in the courtyard for a moment." Li Mumu said politely.

"Okay." Doctor Li cupped his hands and sat down at the stone table in the courtyard.

The servant brought tea to Dr. Li.

Li Mumu and Gu Shangqing entered Old Man Zhang's house.

"General Gu, Mrs. Gu." Old man Zhang was drinking tonic.

"How is the old man feeling? How is his recovery?" General Gu asked, "I haven't been back home these days, so I don't know much about the old man's physical condition."

"Well, it's Mrs. Gu who is worried and insists that I take tonics. I keep using those tonics in daily life. I really deserve it. This... is costing Mrs. Gu a lot of money." Old man Zhang didn't He said sheepishly, "Actually, I have a good feeling about my health. There is no difference between now and when I was not sick."

"Now, I just wait for Yingzi to come back and then take her back to Chong'an." Old man Zhang said.

Li Mumu took a deep breath and said, "Old man, we are here today to talk to you about Miss Zhang."

"What's wrong?" Old man Zhang couldn't help but become nervous when he saw that Gu Shangqing and Li Mumu looked strange, "But Yingzi got into trouble in the palace?"

"Old man, you are not sick," Gu Shangqing said, "but you were poisoned. And the person who poisoned you..."

"It's Miss Zhang." Gu Shangqing said.

"Impossible!" Old Man Zhang said immediately, "There must be a mistake. Which Miss Zhang is it? It can't be my Yingzi anyway."

"Old man, sit down first and we'll talk to you slowly." Li Mumu winked.

The servants quickly helped old man Zhang sit down.

Gu Shangqing told Zhang Yingzi's story, "She was bewitched by Mr. Na Yu and thought there was an antidote that could save you, so she gave you the poison. But fortunately, Mr. Na Yu didn't lie to her. She was indeed In the palace, she met the person who asked her for the poison, and got the antidote from him, so that I could cure the poison for you, old man. "

Old man Zhang is very confused now. He suddenly heard the news and how could he accept it.

Zhang Yingzi poisoned him when he knew there was an antidote?

But what if the other party lied to her?

So... wouldn't he die without an antidote?

Zhang Yingzi...Didn't Zhang Yingzi think about this?

Old man Zhang's palms were cold and he kept clenching his fists.

Did Zhang Yingzi really not expect that?

Still, she thought of this possibility, but still did it, just to have a chance to come to the capital.

Gu Shangqing and Li Mumu didn't speak, giving Old Man Zhang enough time to digest the matter.

"Where is Yingzi... now?" Old Man Zhang asked them.

Seeing that old man Zhang was okay and did not fall down due to this, both Li Mumu and Gu Shangqing breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Shangqing then told what happened next.

"Miss Zhang is neither innocent nor innocent inside." Gu Shangqing said, "Although she didn't know the purpose of the poison, she brought the poison into the palace and gave it to others. The palace maid couldn't leave the palace, so what could the poison do if she put it in the palace? Woolen cloth?"

"Either you want to poison the palace people, or you want to poison the master." Gu Shangqing said, "Just bringing poison into the palace without permission and handing it over to others is already a serious crime."

"And this poison is intended to harm the saint." Gu Shangqing said.

Old man Zhang took a deep breath and almost couldn't hold on.

Li Mumu quickly called Doctor Li in.

Doctor Li took Old Man Zhang's pulse and said, "There is no problem. Old man, please calm down and don't be too alarmed."

After Doctor Li finished reading, he went out and waited again.

Gu Shangqing continued: "In the end, of course, he didn't succeed, and the person who murdered the saint was also caught. But Miss Zhang's role in it was true, and Miss Zhang also provided the poison. Although she did not murder the saint, He was also involved in this matter."

"The saint... did not take her life, but the death penalty can be avoided, but the living penalty cannot be escaped." Gu Shangqing said, "Miss Zhang has been sentenced to exile. Old man Zhang, Miss Zhang can't go back to Chong'an with you."

Old man Zhang didn't say anything for a long time. After a while, he stood up slowly while supporting the table, bowed and saluted Gu Shangqing and Li Mumu, "Thank you, General Gu, Mrs. Gu, for informing me. You are worried that something will happen to me if I learn about this matter." , so you specially asked Dr. Li to come here, right?"

"Although I am useless, I can still survive. General Gu and Mrs. Gu can rest assured." Old man Zhang said, "Although you didn't say it, this incident should have almost harmed you. After all, Yingzi also learned from you. I don’t know if General Gu and Mrs. Gu were affected.”

"The sage understood everything clearly and did not blame anyone." Gu Shangqing said.

"The saint... is kind." Old man Zhang said with a blushing face, "It is not easy for Yingzi to still survive after committing such a serious crime."

"Thank you, General Gu and Mrs. Gu, for telling the truth."

"Old man Zhang, what are your... plans for the future?" Li Mumu asked.

"That child... that child has never suffered much." Old Man Zhang wiped his tears, "Even though life was difficult before, it was still better than going into exile."

"The exile is a long way, and the officers and soldiers on the road will not be polite to the prisoners." Old man Zhang cried more and more.

He was sad that Zhang Yingzi actually...actually poisoned him, and also worried about Zhang Yingzi going into exile.

"I will pack up today and set off to go back to Chong'an. I will pack up my money and then go after Yingzi." Old man Zhang said, "I can't ignore her."
