The mind-reading sick prince led me and the system to go crazy

Butler Shi quickly returned to Qingzhu Courtyard with half a pill of antidote.

"grown ups."

Butler Shi handed the brocade box in his hand to Shi Weian, and inside the box was half of the antidote.

Originally, Shi Weian's plan was to use the poison in Jiang Hui to threaten his father-in-law Jiang Pei'an, in order to gain connections from Jiang Pei'an.

Once Jiang Pei'an is willing to hand over all his connections to him, he will definitely give the antidote to Jiang Hui and save Jiang Hui's life.

But what Shi Wei'an never expected was——

Jiang Pei'an, who had already been somewhat shaken, actually chose to go back on his word and was determined not to make a deal with him. Therefore, Shi Weian could only let Jiang Hui continue to suffer the pain of poisoning until Jiang Pei'an came to him in person to beg him.

But more than a month has passed, and Shi Weian still has not received any news from Jiang Pei'an that he wants to see him.

So does Jiang Pei'an want to give up his daughter, or does he want to force himself to show weakness first?

Thinking of this, Shi Weian's face suddenly darkened. He looked coldly at Jiang Hui's red cheeks and stuffed half of the antidote into her mouth.

Before Jiang Hui woke up, Shi Weian turned around and left: "Housekeeper, spread the news to the public, saying that the lady's condition has suddenly worsened and she will not live long."

"Also, send more guards to guard Qingzhu Courtyard. No one is allowed to visit, especially the people from the Jiang family."

"Yes."

Butler Shi responded quickly.

Although Steward Shi didn't know what the master was trying to do, judging from the master's tone, he should be planning to turn against the Jiang family.

As a servant, he should naturally consider his master and not let anyone from the Jiang family set foot in the Governor's Mansion!

Steward Shi leaned forward and said respectfully, "Sir, I will arrange this matter right away."

Shi Wei'an still looked calm: "Go ahead."

"Yes."

Butler Shi responded and turned away quickly.

Not long after, Shi Weian also walked out of the room.

Looking at the four maids guarding the yard, Shi Wei'an said expressionlessly: "I'm sure you all know what to say and what not to say."

These four maids were all family-born children. Their parents worked as errand boys in the mansion and had signed indentures to sell themselves.

Now, hearing the master's instructions, the four maids couldn't help but tremble.

In fact, Shi Weian and Steward Shi were talking in low voices, and their voices did not reach the yard. The four maids had no idea what they were talking about.

However, they could only respond to the adults' warning. The four maids spoke at the same time: "Yes, my lord!"

Shi Weian expressed satisfaction with the four of them for being so considerate.

Shi Weian left Qingzhuyuan.

The four maids stood there looking at each other. After a long while, they dared to go back to the room to serve the lady.

......

After coming out of the Governor's Mansion, Shi Weian got on a carriage and headed for Lane 18, East Street, with a servant named Ayi and six guards.

Shi Weian was afraid of death, so he was always accompanied by no less than six guards whenever he went out, for fear that if one guard was missing to protect him, he would be assassinated by someone hiding in the dark.

Lane 18 of East Street is not far from the Jiangnan Governor's Mansion. It was the place deliberately chosen by Steward Shi so that the spies in the Governor's Mansion could keep an eye on the two adults who came on the emperor's orders.

"call"

Ayi stopped the carriage, turned around, and said to the adult sitting in the carriage: "Sir, we're here."

After saying this, Ayi jumped down from the carriage swiftly, took down the footstool tied to the horse's back and placed it on the ground.

"Ah."

Shi Weian responded and lifted the car curtain with one hand. Seeing the closed door in front of him, he frowned slightly and walked down the stepping stool with an expressionless face.

"Ayi, go over and knock on the door first."

Shi Weian raised his chin and gave Ayi a look.

Ayi nodded and quickly walked forward to knock on the door.

About a quarter of an hour later, the door of the house was slowly opened from the inside.

"Who?"

After opening the door, Min Chenghe saw that the person standing in front of him was an extremely unfamiliar person. He did not move and leaned forward to ask.

Ayi replied calmly, "My master came here to meet the imperial envoys from Shengjing, Lord Bai and Lord Liang."

When Butler Shi received the two adults that day, Ayi followed Butler Shi. He was always careful and cautious, so he heard that one of the two adults was surnamed Bai and the other was surnamed Liang.

"Who is your master? Has he sent a visiting card before?"

Min Chenghe said with a puzzled look.

His general came to Jiangning to do serious business, don't let just any random person come up to see the general!

Ayi: “…”

"My master is the Governor-General of Jiangnan. As for the visiting card, it has not been sent to me."

Min Chenghe suddenly realized: "Oh, it turns out to be the Governor of Jiangnan!"

They waited here for several days and finally waited for the Governor of Jiangnan to come back. It was really not easy!

"Okay, I understand. Wait for a moment. I'll go in and report to my master."

Before he could finish his words, and before Ayi could react to what he said, he suddenly heard a "bang" and the door was closed again.

Ayi was stunned and stared at the closed door in front of him:???

Who is so bold? He has already announced his name, but the other party still dares to close the door! ?

Seeing this, Shi Wei'an, who was standing next to the carriage, suddenly frowned. He strode towards the servant Ayi, glanced at the door, and said in a cold voice: "Ayi, what's going on?"

"Sir," Hearing this, Ayi came back to his senses and said, "The guard who opened the door just now said that you didn't send a visiting card, so he had to go in and report first..."

Shi Weian's face suddenly turned dark.

He is the governor of Jiangnan, so why would he need to use a visiting card when he comes in person?

Could it be that the two people who were following the emperor's order wanted to give him a warning?

With his current official position and his control over Jiangnan, no one has ever dared to turn him down!

Shi Wei'an was upset and suppressed his anger, saying, "Then wait a moment."

Ayi nodded obediently.

After Min Chenghe closed the door, he hurried to the courtyard where General Liang lived.

"General! General, open the door!"

Min Chenghe shouted and knocked on the door.

"Come on, stop knocking!"

Liang Shenlin, who was in the room, had just gotten up from the couch. When he heard the noise outside, he woke up.

Liang Shenlin hurriedly put on a coat, walked quickly to the door of the room, and stretched out his hand to open the door.

Seeing that it was Min Chenghe standing outside, Liang Shenlin suddenly came to his senses and asked suspiciously, "Chenghe, what is it that has you in such a hurry? Is there any new news from Luoyang Inn?"

"No."

Min Chenghe shook his head and answered, "It was the Governor-General Shi from Jiangnan who came to visit us. He is standing outside the gate now."

"Shi Wei'an?"

Liang Shenlin was a little surprised.

Lord Bai really came right. Shi Weian will come to my house in person today.

"Okay, wait until I clean up and then let him in."

Liang Shenlin waved at Min Chenghe and ordered, "Go to the kitchen and bring a basin of hot water."

Min Chenghe: “…”

"Yes, General."

Originally, there were maids, servants and old women in the mansion, but General Liang and Lord Bai were worried that they might leak out some secrets, so they asked all the maids, servants and old women to leave the house.

Now, the people who stay in the house to clean and cook in the kitchen are all General Liang's elite soldiers.

Min Chenghe was often ordered by General Liang to go to the kitchen to fetch hot water.

Min Chenghe went to the kitchen as if he knew the place well, and walked into General Liang's room with a basin of hot water, "General, the hot water is here."

Liang Shenlin was tidying up his clothes. Hearing this, he said, "Okay, you can go out now. Go to the next yard and tell Lord Bai."

"Yes."

Min Chenghe ran to the next yard again and informed Lord Bai of Shi Weian's visit.

Bai Qiuyuan, who was leaning against the window flipping through a book, closed it, stood up and said, "I'll go to the lobby right away."

"Has General Liang gone?"

Min Chenghe shook his head: "No."

Bai Qiuyuan paused and asked in surprise, "Where did General Liang go?"

Didn't he tell General Liang last night that Shi Weian would definitely come today and told General Liang not to leave the house unless it was urgent? Why didn't he listen?

Hearing the displeasure in Lord Bai's tone, Min Chenghe hurriedly explained: "Lord Bai, please don't misunderstand. My general just woke up and will not be able to come out to meet guests until later."

It was a close call, I almost brought disaster upon my own general!

Bai Qiuyuan: "......"

He and General Liang both went to bed very late last night, but Bai Qiuyuan did not expect that General Liang had slept until this time.

Bai Qiuyuan has always been accustomed to getting up at the hour of Mao. No matter how late he rests, he will wake up at the hour of Mao.

Bai Qiuyuan rubbed his brows and said in a light tone: "Forget it, go out and open the door to let Mr. Shi in, and take him to the lobby."

After all, the other party is the Governor of Jiangnan, and it is not good to let him wait too long, otherwise, the other party will be hostile to them.

They came to Jiangnan this time to investigate a case, and they could not offend Shi Weian to death before the matter was thoroughly investigated.

"Yes."

Min Chenghe quickly turned around and left, walking quickly towards the gate.

Soon, the door of the house was opened again.

Min Chenghe stood by the door. He squinted his eyes and could tell at a glance that the person standing in front of him was the Governor of Jiangnan, Shi Weian.

Min Chenghe leaned forward slightly and made a respectful gesture: "Please come in, sir."

Shi Weian recognized him. He was the guard who had just opened and closed the door of the house.

Shi Weian snorted coldly at Min Chenghe, then lowered his head and brushed his sleeves before stepping over the threshold and walking into the house.

The servant Ayi and five other guards followed closely behind Shi Weian, leaving only one guard outside to guard the carriage.

Min Chenghe did not stop the five guards from coming in.

After they all came in, Min Chenghe asked the two guards guarding the door to close it.

Min Chenghe quickly returned to Shi Weian's side and led him to the lobby: "Master Shi, come here, please come this way."

Shi Weian glanced at him coldly without saying anything.

Naturally, the six people following behind him could not say a word.

The lobby was not far from the main entrance, and Min Chenghe, Shi Weian and seven others arrived there quickly.

The only person sitting in the lobby at this time was Bai Qiuyuan. As for General Liang, he still hadn't come out, and no one knew what he was trying to do in the room.

Bai Qiuyuan did not urge him, thinking that General Liang must have his own intentions.

After bringing the person here, Min Chenghe retreated to the other side.

There were also eight guards guarding outside the lobby.

Shi Wei'an pretended to glance at them casually, then frowned slightly, wondering: Who are those guards outside? Why can he sense a strong murderous aura from them? It's like they just came off a battlefield...

When he thought of this, Shi Weian's eyes paused, his heart was confused for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure.

No matter what the other party wants to do, he will not let them succeed.

"Master Shi, please take a seat."

Seeing Shi Weian standing in the middle of the hall without speaking, as if he was deep in thought about something, Bai Qiuyuan's eyes flashed, and he poured himself a cup of tea without any hurry, and then told Min Chenghe who was standing beside him: "Go serve tea to Lord Shi."

Min Chenghe sighed in his heart and reluctantly went over to pour tea for Shi Weian.

Shi Weian was unsure of the other party's intention for a moment, so he chose to remain silent.

Bai Qiuyuan was not flustered and took the initiative to speak: "Master Shi, is there anything you want to ask?"

Oh, he wants to know everything clearly, but you have to be willing to answer!

Shi Wei'an's eyes flashed with a hint of ridicule. When he looked up at Bai Qiuyuan, he showed a gentle look on his face: "My Lord has already known my identity, but I don't know your identity. Isn't that a bit bad?"

"That's it?"

Bai Qiuyuan chuckled, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

Bai Qiuyuan said calmly, "My name is Bai Qiuyuan, and I am the imperial envoy appointed by His Majesty. I came to Jiangning this time on the orders of the Emperor."

"However, I have just arrived, and I am not completely clear about some things in Jiangning. I wonder if Lord Shi is willing to lend a helping hand to me so that I can complete my mission and return to the capital as soon as possible?"

After saying this, Bai Qiuyuan picked up the teacup, lowered his head and took a sip.

"Your Excellency has received the Emperor's order and has important matters to attend to. How can I be unwilling to help you wherever you can use my help?"

Shi Weian said with a smile, as if he had no idea why the imperial envoy came this time, and he agreed frankly.

Bai Qiuyuan narrowed his eyes and thought to himself: This Shi Weian is indeed very cunning, and he must be dealt with carefully.

Bai Qiuyuan: "Speaking of which, there is something I need your help with, Lord Shi. Please do your best."

Shi Wei'an said in surprise, "I don't know when it was. Please tell me in detail first, sir."

"Actually, this official has just arrived in Jiangnan, and I am thinking of hosting a banquet to entertain officials from all over Jiangnan so that I can make some friends. I wonder if Lord Shi can help me?"

Bai Qiuyuan got straight to the point: "After all, I am not familiar with those officials. If Lord Shi speaks personally, it will naturally be different."
