Self-help guide for non-professional young masters

Seeing this, Su Qinghe hurriedly called for someone, and Xiao Beicheng rushed over when he heard the sound. Seeing Junziyou like this, he knew the situation was not good.

The man collapsed to the ground stiffly, had difficulty breathing, and was unconscious.

"The face is pale, the lips are purple, and the body is numb... He ate something by mistake!"

He noticed that Jun Ziyou clenched his hands into fists, his fingernails were stuck in his palms, blood was pricking, but he couldn't break his tight fingers.

"Get some water!"

Things have come to this point and there is no time to feed him tea cups leisurely, Su Qinghe handed over the teapot, Xiao Beicheng squeezed Junziyou's clenched teeth and said to humanity: "Quickly drink it!"

Su Qinghe had never seen such a scene before, he was so frightened that he was dumbfounded, he responded blankly, and hurriedly followed suit.

After filling half of the pot of water, even the unconscious Jun Ziyou was almost full, coughing so much that he spit out the pastry he ate just now, and kept babbling "no" in his mouth, Xiao Beicheng comforted him and patted him He slapped his back and passed out again.

He had severe asthma, and his body was so numb that it was difficult to breathe on his own in a drowsy sleep. Xiao Beicheng instead hugged him to the bed, untied his collar, and kept pressing his chest to prevent him from suffocating in his dream. Until the doctor arrives.

Swimming the gentleman to his veins, the doctor let out a sigh of relief, "Thanks to the timely treatment of the prince, sir, his life is not in danger."

"This king wants to borrow something from you."

The doctor understood, took out a roll of silver needles, and handed it to Xiao Beicheng to let him do what he wanted.

He checked the food Su Qinghe sent with a cold face, and found no trace of poisoning, even the chicken soup made by Wang Widow Niang.

He even asked Shen Ci to go to the government office to check Jun Ziyou's leftover tea, but he couldn't find any clues, so where did the poison come from?It can't be that the gentleman has fallen ill himself, can he?

For a while, he couldn't find out who did it, so Xiao Beicheng left Su Qinghe in the post house, saying that he was Jun Ziyou's close friend, and he stayed to take care of that person's situation, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that clearly He suspected that Su Qinghe was the murderer.

If even the people closest to him turned against each other, then the situation of Junziyou can be imagined.

Fortunately, not long after, the doctor gave an inference: "My lord, the sudden death of my husband may not be caused by poison."

Xiao Beicheng said coldly: "It's not poison, could it be that he suddenly fell ill?"

"Don't worry, my lord. What the villain means is that the culprit that put you in danger is not poison, but a common medicinal material. Aconitum aconiti is a good medicine for treating cold and pain in the heart, and wind-cold-damp numbness. It is also the top grade of anesthesia for pain relief. Mr. is in a special condition, no doctor dares to add pain relievers to his prescription, no matter how severe the pain is, because this kind of medicine is very easy to cause suffocation and will kill him. Xiao People speculated that this time Mr. was in danger, it was not because someone wanted to kill him."

"Are you trying to say that you did something bad with good intentions?"

"After all, ordinary people don't understand that people with asthma can't take grass aconitum. Putting these in food by mistake may not be harmful."

Xiao Beicheng's suspicions have always been serious, even if the doctor said this, he didn't dare to believe it. In private, he ordered Shenci to take a little from each plate, and secretly sent people to the capital to be checked by Doctor Jiang.

His suspicion of Su Qinghe didn't dispel because of this, and he rushed to ask someone before he had to let him go.

Of course, it has to be polite, and it is not good for him to cause a estrangement with the gentleman because of this matter, otherwise he will become a sinner if he breaks up a pair of childhood sweethearts.

Su Qinghe didn't expect that Junziyou would die after eating the food he sent. While worried about that man, he was also afraid that King Jin would pursue the responsibility. It would be terrible if the mother who made these dishes was implicated.

He was fidgeting in the next room, pacing back and forth, going out from time to time to take a look at him, seeing the guards of the palace glaring at him coldly, so he had to sit back obediently, wondering in his heart, could this King Jin regard himself as a murderer? murderer?

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, Su Qinghe got up and went out again, but this time he met Xiao Beicheng head-on, which he did not expect.

"My lord..."

"Don't panic, sir is out of danger, and fell asleep just now, you can rest assured."

Su Qinghe felt relieved after hearing him report that he was safe, and let out a long breath, "It's fine, it's fine."

Seeing that his reaction didn't seem to be fake, Xiao Beicheng dispelled his doubts about him, Gu Zi entered the room and sat on the upper seat, and motioned for the other party to sit down with him.

"This king just wants to ask you a few questions. After all, Mr. is one of my subordinates. If something happens to him, this king will naturally intervene. If there is any offense, please forgive me."

"Your Majesty's words are serious, and the villain will definitely answer everything."

"Today's dishes and cakes are made by Lingtang?"

"Yes, my mother heard that Ziyou was in danger when he returned to his hometown. She was really distressed, so she made some of his favorite food for me to visit."

"Then do you know if there is anything else added to this food?"

"Others? I don't know. But my mother always likes to make medicinal food, and she also adds some medicinal herbs such as poria cocos and angelica to her daily cakes. She doesn't add much each time, and the taste and taste are not affected. Could it be that it is Did my mother accidentally harm Ziyou?"

Seeing him getting nervous, Xiao Beicheng shook his head, "The source of the poison has not been found out, so it's not good to jump to conclusions. However, I heard that the husband had an attack immediately after touching the chicken soup. This king thinks that the widow of the Wang family who gave him the chicken soup to show his love Very suspicious, don't you think?"

"This... villains dare not speak in vain. Widow Wang should be grateful for Ziyou's rescue of Li Xiaosan. She can't harm him. Besides, she's a woman who doesn't understand medicine, let alone how to harm others."

"What you said is also reasonable. Forget it, it's okay to investigate this matter slowly. If you offend me, please ask Haihan. It's getting late, and you should go back earlier. Don't talk about this matter to others, don't worry Lingtang. "

"Yes, the villain retire."

Su Qinghe saluted and left, seemingly normal, but because of Xiao Beicheng's suspicion, there was a distance between him and the gentleman.

Naturally, he couldn't bear the suffering of his best friend, but if he got a bad reputation because of this, he would rather not come to intervene in this mess.

Returning home dejectedly, when he reached the gate of the Su Mansion, Su Qinghe patted his face to cheer himself up, completely unaware that when he walked out of the post house, a black shadow followed behind him.

Seeing him enter the door, Hei Ying jumped over the wall and entered the Su family's mansion, tiptoeing behind him, watching him go to pay his mother's respect.

Su Qinghe told his mother what happened today, Madam Su seemed very disturbed, and hurriedly asked: "Is that son in good condition, is there anything wrong?"

"Ziyou should be fine. It's just that the prince suspects that I want to murder Ziyou, but I have no reason to kill him. It's nothing..."

Shen Ci licked his fingertips, pierced the window paper and looked inside, seeing Mrs. Su beckoning his son to come forward, he put his ear on the door and listened carefully to the movement inside.

"This matter is hasty for my mother. I didn't expect it to involve you. You have to be careful, don't be caught by others."

"Mom! It's really you..."

Mrs. Su quickly covered Su Qinghe's mouth to prevent him from talking nonsense.

Fearing that the wall has ears, the latter lowered his voice, looking anxious, "Mother, why did you hurt Ziyou, he grew up with me, you don't love him very much."

"That was in the past! Now that he is highly valued by the prince of the capital, it would be nice to let him stay with King Jin and do things. Why bother to compete with you for the position of the number one scholar? As a mother, it is also for his own good. He won't have a good life for a few years, and such a great thing as the top prize will only take away his luck, if you want him to live a few more years, you have to let him live a few more days of hardship."

"What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Our two families are not the only ones who went to Beijing to rush for the exam. Even if you hurt him, I may not be the top student in high school."

Mrs. Su gave her son a slap in the face, "What nonsense are you talking about, mother's good son, one less opponent is one, and his literary talent is so outstanding, he will definitely be your stumbling block, trip him first, go The road ahead will be fine.”

Su Qinghe couldn't agree with his mother's words, and frowning, "Then what did you use for Ziyou? It won't hurt his life, right?"

"Wei Niang doesn't know what it is. Someone came to the house yesterday and gave Wei Niang a pack of medicinal powder, saying that it would make him suffer and it would definitely delay the imperial examination. That's why Wei Niang used it."

"You really dare to use something given by an unknown person. The imperial examination is at least three months away. How can Ziyou be so ill that he can miss the exam..."

"So I only released a little bit for my mother, and didn't dare to add more. He just fell asleep for a while, it's nothing serious."

Shen Ci couldn't listen anymore, and went back to the post house with complicated thoughts, and went to Xiao Beicheng, who had a headache and was resting with his forehead and closed his eyes. He just stretched out his hand to massage and relieve him, when he heard the man say: "You should go Mister Shou is the one, what are you doing here with me.”

"My lord, I'm your bodyguard, not your husband's, so I won't be able to come to see you..."

"There are too many people who want to kill him. If you don't stay by his side, how can I rest assured?"

"Yes, the murderer who assassinated Mr. is his closest person, and he needs to be guarded at every step."

Hearing what he saw and heard in the Su Mansion, Xiao Beicheng's face was full of sadness, "It seems that it is inconvenient to stay in Gusu for a long time, and return to Beijing as soon as possible after dealing with the matter at hand. Don't delay, or I will ask you."

Fortunately, there were no complicated matters. Shen Ci was ordered to confiscate the stolen goods buried in the backyard of the Lei brothers' house, and put Xing Jinbao on the carriage for the return journey. Before leaving, he asked Xiao Beicheng if he wanted to sell the stolen goods here His antique shop was also sold out, the man shook his head.

"Senior Mo is right. It's hard for a strong dragon to overwhelm a snake. It really forced them to fight to the death. It's not worth the loss if they hurt both. Besides, I don't need to be this villain. At that time, I will have a new magistrate to fight with them. , why bother to waste your energy."

"What about the master of the government office? He's in collusion with Mr. Xing, so letting him get away with it won't be cheap for him!"

"Perhaps this is the reason why Senior Mo came here to mention this king. This king always feels that the master is not as simple as it seems. If he is colluding with the Tufuzi, this matter will really implicate him. Can we leave? Gusu is a problem. It’s better to be careful, if you don’t interfere with other people’s interests, you won’t hurt yourself, this is an eternal truth.”

Until he set foot on the way back, Jun Ziyou fell into a drowsy sleep, spit out a sentence or two from time to time, and soon fell asleep, making it hard to tell whether he was awake or in a daze.

Xiao Beicheng sent Shen Ci back first, and asked him to ask Dr. Jiang to prepare for the diagnosis and treatment of Junziyou, and to take care of everything in the capital.

Although he was worried about Junziyou's body, he was out of danger after all, and he was no match for the might of the emperor.

So the first thing Xiao Beicheng did when he returned to Beijing was to enter the palace to face the saint.
