After rebirth, she became the favorite of the powerful minister.

Yuan Ge naturally had no idea that Song Wenyuan was venting his anger for her behind her back. She took the medicinal diet and went to bed early, and did not get up until dawn the next day.

After having breakfast and taking medicine, Yuan Ge finally got Shiyin's consent after much persuasion. He took Zhuozhuo out for a walk and bought a lot of snacks, all of which were Zhuozhuo's favorites. The little guy was frightened yesterday, so of course he had to coax him into a good mood.

In addition, Yuan Ge went to several pharmacies and bought different medicinal materials in different pharmacies to make sure that no doctor on duty could tell what she wanted to do. Finally, she bought a bunch of empty porcelain bottles. When she returned home, she heard that the girl from the Yu family had come and asked about Yuan Ge's injury. After hearing that it was not serious, she left a letter and some ginseng and deer antlers and returned home.

It was really "better", tied with red ropes, and there were several sandalwood boxes. Yuan Ge felt that most of the tonic herbs in the Yu family's medicine storehouse had been moved away. As for the letter, it seemed particularly perfunctory. It was obviously written by someone who had never seen it. The handwriting was crooked and large and small. It said that he met Tong Wanzhen on the way back home yesterday and pulled her aside to talk sarcastically. The implication was that Wen Qian was a person with deep thoughts, so he warned Yuan Ge not to associate with such people.

Shi Yin was furious, "Why is Miss Tong like this? She was acting like she was the best in the world before... but it turns out she has been stabbing us in the back! This person is so mean! Miss was so open with her and told her everything... so mean!"

"You just realized it?" Yuan Ge raised his eyebrows and chuckled. He raised his hand and poked the other person's forehead, jokingly, "With your brain, you can be deceived by a candied haws... Go prepare some return gifts and send them to the Yu family. Prepare some for Madam Yu as well. Please take care and don't lose your manners."

"Okay." Shiyin agreed, and saw Zhuozhuo handing the half-eaten candied haws in front of her, grinning, "Shiyin, Shiyin, if you want to eat candied haws, tell me and I'll treat you. Don't let the bad guys take it away."

Shi Yin couldn't help but rolled her eyes, biting her back teeth and forcing a fake smile, "My lady has given me a monthly allowance, so I can afford to buy candied haws!"

"Then why did you let Tanghulu trick you?"

Pickup sound: ...I can’t care about it and I don’t want to talk.

……

After Yuan Ge came back, she locked herself in the room. In the space of half a day, she packed the strange herbs and powders into different small bottles, marked them by category, and then polished and poisoned the gold hairpin she brought back from the market. For her own safety, she did not use deadly poison, but only used a poison that could paralyze people instantly, buying her time to escape or fight back.

The idea of ​​making a handy weapon for herself had already formed in her mind when she learned that the poison in Tu Su wine might have come from Zhi Xuan Mountain.

In Zhixuan Mountain, Yuan Ge's poison and formula were locked in a separate secret room. The door of the secret room was a mechanism lock made by a special person. Only she and her trusted maid Jin Su knew how to open it. The unfinished recipe was also in it, along with everything related to it.

But now, it appeared in Shengjing City with a different look.

She didn't know whether this matter was related to Zhixuan Mountain. If it was, she was afraid that things would be far more complicated than she had imagined... She looked at the processed hairpin in her hand. Under the beautiful ruby, there was a dark red Lycoris flower. The flowers blooming on the road to the underworld had an unlucky meaning, but at this moment they seemed very appropriate.

There was a knock on the door. "Madam, dinner is ready. Shall we eat?" From the voice, it was Aunt Gui.

As it happened, she was hungry too.

"I'm coming." She tilted her head and responded, then stood up while stretching. She walked to the door and saw the maid bringing dinner. She was slightly stunned, "Eat here? Where's Song Wenyuan? Is he back?" As she spoke, she had already stepped aside.

Aunt Gui directed the maids to set the table while replying, "The young master sent someone back to say that it would be later, so the young lady should eat first. I left a portion for you. But Master Xu is here, and he sent some medicine for the young lady. Now Master Wen is pestering him to learn to read... He said he would stay here for dinner." As she spoke, she glanced at Yuan Ge cautiously, sighed softly, and then said, "Master Xu... It's really pitiful. He lives alone in such a big house, and there is no one to serve him. He may have nothing to eat when he goes back."

Yuan Ge understood that Aunt Gui was worried that he would blame her for taking the initiative to let the man from outside have meals in the house.

She didn't know much about the Xu family, but she knew what the situation was because she had never seen him mention his parents during those years on Zhixuan Mountain, and he never came down the mountain to visit his relatives during the holidays. However, Aunt Gui herself looked extremely tired with dark circles under her eyes and a dull complexion.

Yuan Ge asked her, "Did Aunt Gui not sleep well?"

Aunt Gui was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly, "Yes. I don't know why I can't sleep well at night and feel sleepy during the day. I went to see a doctor, and he said it might be because I'm old and my body can't adapt to the changing seasons. He prescribed a lot of medicine, but after taking it for two days, I feel even worse. It seems that he is just a charlatan, not very good."

"Isn't Xu Chengjin good friends with Song Wenyuan? Why don't you ask him to take a look?"

"That won't do. I'm just a servant... Besides, what the doctor said makes sense. Maybe it will get better after a while. It's not a big deal."

There aren't many people in Qichi Mansion, and Aunt Gui is in charge of everything. She is meticulous and particular about everything. Others would like to play it safe and do less work, but she does the opposite. She has almost no free time every day. In addition, she is now worried about Luofengxuan, which makes her even busier. Yuan Ge thought about it and realized that the master-servant concept of the old man is deeply rooted and will not change easily, so he pretended to recommend himself, "Well... I happened to be reading medical books recently to learn how to regulate my body, and I saw a few health-care herbal teas. If Aunt Gui is willing, can you help me try it?"

Then, she shook her head in embarrassment, "Forget it, forget it. After all, I am just a beginner. If it backfires, it will be a sin... Then my husband will definitely not forgive me. I'd better drink it myself."

How could that be possible? There is still an injury on the neck, don't let it hurt! Aunt Gui heard it and immediately patted her chest and promised, "I will drink it! I naturally trust the young lady. Even if something goes wrong, I will never let the young master know that this medicinal tea was given by the young lady, so don't worry!"

Yuan Ge curled his lips and chuckled, his smile was like a beautiful fox, and it made Aunt Gui feel creepy... Although she felt creepy in her heart, her expression was extremely firm, and she seemed to be ready to die.
