Liu, the steward in charge of the kitchen, walked up to the prince and said, "The kitchen has a lot of things to do every day. Not only do we prepare food for the master, but we also have to prepare food for the servants. Aunt Li's illness is not very serious. The kitchen staff put the medicine pot on the stove, added water and left it alone. There is no evidence to find out who was making the medicine. Moreover, there was no croton powder in the medicine pot, so it was not the kitchen staff who put the medicine in."
The prince calmed down immediately, thought about it carefully, and felt that what Manager Liu said made sense: "Who put croton in Aunt Li's medicine?"
Manager Liu continued, "The other party did it so cleanly because they didn't want us to find them. Fortunately, the person who drugged her didn't have bad intentions. He just wanted to teach Aunt Li a lesson. Aunt Li should be more careful about what she eats in the future."
The prince did not respond. He remained silent for a while and led the doctor out of the kitchen.
The servants in the kitchen breathed a sigh of relief.
Manager Liu waved his hand and said, "It's almost noon, everyone, hurry up and get to work."
The two chefs walked over to Manager Liu and asked, "Who on earth is so bold as to put croton in Aunt Li's medicine?"
"The prince doesn't know, so how could I know? Even if I did, I wouldn't tell him. Ever since Aunt Li came into the prince's mansion, she has been arrogant and domineering. She is also extremely picky about food. She cannot eat the same thing every day, and she wants the freshest food. Even the old lady is not as extravagant as her." After saying that, Steward Liu left the kitchen. He wanted to tell the old lady about what happened today, so that when Aunt Li recovered and couldn't find the person who drugged her, she would not have to blame the people in the kitchen.
Chunxia and Qiudong left the kitchen with the cooked fish maw, walked to a deserted place, and laughed out loud. Without the prince's description, they could imagine how miserable Li Wanrong was as she had diarrhea all night.
After laughing enough, the timid Qiu Dong began to worry: "What if the prince finds out that it was you who gave Li Wanrong the croton?"
"Don't worry. Even if I'm suspected, Aunt Li can't do anything to me without evidence." Chunxia was afraid that the timid Qiudong would be scared, so she immediately changed the subject: "The fish maw is cold and smells fishy. Let's go back to the yard."
The two told He Shulan what happened in the kitchen.
He Shulan smiled without saying anything. Now even the servants in the mansion did not help Li Wanrong, which showed how Li Wanrong behaved.
After eating the fish maw, she calculated the date. In her previous life, it was today that she saved the grandson of the prince's tutor. "Qiu Dong, prepare the things for the temple. I will go and invite the old lady to go with me to the temple outside the capital to burn incense."
Chun Xia followed He Shulan and asked, "Why did you suddenly decide to go to the temple to burn incense?"
He Shulan raised her head and looked at the sunny weather: "It's such a nice day, it would be a pity not to go out for a walk."
The two came to the old lady's yard. The old lady was sitting in the pavilion in the small garden drinking tea. He Shulan walked up to the old lady and said, "I have nothing to do in the mansion. Do you want to go with me to burn incense?"
"Okay, I'm old and haven't been out for a walk for a long time." The old lady smiled and helped He Shulan stand up with her hand.
He Shulan said: "The old lady seems to be in a good mood today."
"Of course." The old lady replied without hesitation. Just now, Liu, the kitchen manager, told her that someone had put croton in the medicine that Li Wanrong drank, causing Li Wanrong to have diarrhea all night. What could make her happier than this?
He Shulan didn't ask any further.
The two men walked to the gate of the Prince's Mansion, got on the prepared carriage, and headed to the temple outside the capital.
……
Li Wanrong drank the medicine and stopped having diarrhea. She rested on the bed for a long time. Her face became rosier. When she saw the prince coming in, she was very excited: "Prince, have you found the person with the chin bean?"
The prince shook his head and said: "There is no croton in the medicine pot for you. The croton was not added by the kitchen staff."
"Have you found the murderer of Chin Bean?" Li Wanrong asked nervously.
"No."
This made Li Wanrong extremely angry. She thought it was impossible to just let this matter go. Since the prince could not be found, she would go find the murderer of Xia Chin Dou herself after she recovered.
The prince patted Li Wanrong on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, don't be afraid. I will have my servants strictly check the medicines and food you take in the future, so that things like today will not happen again."
Li Wanrong nodded in pretended obedience.
……
The carriage bumped along the way and arrived at the outskirts of the capital before noon.
He Shulan supported the old lady and walked into the temple.
When the abbot of the temple learned that the old lady had arrived, he personally greeted her and led the two of them to worship the Bodhisattva.
The old lady was going to listen to the host explain the scriptures, but He Shulan didn't go with her. She didn't come to the temple to save the grandson of the prince's tutor: "Old lady, listening to the host explain the scriptures is too boring. I won't go. I want to go around the temple and come to see you later."
"Okay." The old lady was open-minded and didn't need He Shulan to serve her all the time.
He Shulan led Chunxia and Qiudong to the back mountain of the temple.
There is a peach blossom forest on the back mountain, and a wishing lake in the middle of the forest.
People who come to the temple will walk around the lake when they have nothing to do, and those who have faith will throw coins into the lake and make wishes.
In the previous life, the grandson of the Crown Prince's Grand Tutor secretly ran to the back mountain to play and was rescued by her who was relaxing by the lake. From then on, Liu Chen rose to prominence with the help of the Crown Prince's Grand Tutor.
In this life, she still saved the grandson of the Crown Prince and Grand Tutor. She held this favor tightly in her hands and recalled in her mind the location where the grandson of the Crown Prince and Grand Tutor fell into the water in the previous life.
She followed her memory and walked to a corner close to the mountain, and sure enough, she saw a small figure splashing in the water.
He Shulan quickened her pace and walked over: "Hurry, go save them."
The master and his two servants worked together to rescue the child who fell into the water.
This time He Shulan arrived in time and rescued the child from the water. The child was not unconscious. The frightened child hugged He Shulan tightly, his chubby little face was whiter than paper.
Chunxia looked around and didn't see the child's family. She took off her vest and put it on the child: "Why did your family let you play by the lake alone?"
The child buried his head in He Shulan's shoulder and ignored Chun Xia.
He Shulan patted the child on the back and kept comforting him: "He is still young and fell into the lake. He must be scared. His whole body is wet. Let's find his family quickly to prevent him from catching a cold."
The three of them hurried to the temple holding the child.
The family members who were looking for the child were the wife and daughter-in-law of the Crown Prince's Grand Tutor.
The two saw the child in He Shulan's arms and ran over in panic: "Yi Feng, what happened to you? Why are you all wet?"
Chunxia told the two people what happened by the lake: "I was walking with my master by the lake, and I saw your young master fall into the water, so I rescued him."
