Chapter 209 Poison comes like this
Speaking of Dr. Sun, everyone knows that he is an old fighter in the imperial hospital. Although he seems amiable, few people dare to cling to him, not only because his medical skills are impressive, but also because he once had a dark history, which makes listeners afraid.
Dr. Sun grew up with Huo Shuangcheng. Later, Huo Shuangcheng went to the frontier to fight. Dr. Sun had not been in the army for a long time, so he asked him to become a military doctor. The two were born and died on the battlefield. Later, once, Huo Shuangcheng fell into a trap and was besieged by the enemy. Dr. Sun ignored the obstruction of others and broke out a way to survive with poison gas. It was also from that time on, Huo Shuangcheng's body was attacked by poison gas. Although he was treated in time, his internal organs were damaged and his physical condition was still getting worse. .
Later, Dr. Sun went to the palace and entered the imperial hospital. Huo Shuangcheng resigned a few years later, but the relationship between the two became deeper and deeper over time.
"What do you know? Come and listen," Huo Shuangcheng leaned against the back of the chair and closed his eyes slightly.
"Do you remember that three years ago, I sent a small eunuch to deliver medicine to you and met a little maid at the gate of Qinxinyuan." Dr. Sun finished speaking slowly and sorted out his thoughts.
"How can I remember such a long-standing thing? You said the key point."
"Look at you, you are still in such a hurry. How many times have I told you to calm down! Speaking of the little girl, after listening to the little eunuch's description, I suddenly remembered the deceased lady.
"Diligent?" Huo Shuangcheng straightened up and said in surprise.
"You listened to me slowly, and then I quietly sent someone to investigate, but I never saw the little maid again," Dr. Sun said. Seeing that Huo Shuangcheng's face was getting worse and worse, he was also very sorry. Every time he mentioned diligence, he was always sad. Some people, even time, can't erase her mark in love.
"In this case, why do you mention it? Alas, diligent has gone for so many years in a blink of an eye."
"However, last month, I seemed to see that woman again. I have to say that from a distance, that woman looks exactly like Qinqin, but younger than Qinqin. If Qinqin lived until now, she would be about 40 years old."
"When Qinqin married me, she was only 18 years old, which was a good time. In a blink of an eye, it has been 21 years. Unfortunately, the time I spent with her was not even a fraction." Huo Shuangcheng sighed. Qinqin and his typical old husband and young wife. From making a salute to getting married, I don't know how many people have talked about it, but Qinqin is full of hope for himself, but he brings her far more disappointment than hope. Whenever he thinks about it, he is always full of regret.
"You owe her, but after all these years, it's time to let it go." Dr. Sun sighed and then said to the topic just now: "Before Master Kang's expedition, you had an asthma attack. When you passed through Master Kang's yard, I saw a woman looking at the door, so I looked curiously. Later, when I arrived at the door of Qinxinyuan, I saw this woman leaning in front of the water tank. I wanted to walk over to find out, but my sight was blocked, and when I looked at it again, the figure disappeared. Later, I took the water and found no signs of toxic drugs, and then your condition did improve, so I didn't delve into it.
"Why didn't you say such an important thing at that time!" Huo Shuangcheng opened his eyes angrily and almost jumped up.
"If I tell you, will your nature sit and wait for others to harm you? What if the grass scares the snake? So I want to investigate again under the premise of ensuring your safety and tell you when the truth comes out. However, for a whole month, this woman seems to be missing and has never appeared again.
"You mean, she may have put something in the water tank?"
Huo Shuangcheng shook his head. If someone deliberately wanted to harm him, why did he still have a chance to sit here, or to revenge?
"Today's poisoning is the cause of breakfast. First, soy milk is mixed, and second, other things seem to be put in the deep-fried dough sticks, which causes acute poisoning," Dr. Sun said, holding his chin puzzledly. According to reason, how can there be soy milk in Huo's house?
"How can there be soy milk in the house? Diligence hates soy milk the most, so there has been no soy milk in the house for more than 20 years." Dr. Sun had something to say, and Huo Shuangcheng realized that there seemed to be someone in Huo's house that he was ready to move.
"Brother Sun, just say what you think." Huo Shuangcheng looked straight at Dr. Sun. The two of them have been together for a lifetime, and the temper of Mr. Sun is still so winding. It's hard to imagine how the two can stand each other.
"There are unclean people in the house. Since you were poisoned, I have begun to pay attention to the people around you. In addition to your second aunt, there seems to be another person secretly peeping at you. I suspect that this person has something to do with diligence." After Dr. Sun finished speaking, Huo Shuangcheng didn't say anything for a long time.
"If it really has something to do with diligence, I have no regrets..." Huo Shuangcheng said quietly, and the room fell into silence.
In the small courtyard, Chuntao was struggling to wash the sheets and quilts that were stained by Youyou in the morning. After falling asleep, Lu Mengyu came to the courtyard to help Chuntao rub the laundry.
Chuntao knocked on the sheets and became more and more irritable when she saw Lu Mengjian reaching out to help.
She bit her lip and wanted to knock out a big hole in the sheet. Lu Mengjian saw that she was abnormal and couldn't help looking at her a few more times and asked, "Chuntao, what's wrong with you?"
"No, nothing." Chuntao's eyes dodged, and the expression on her face became more and more unnatural.
"Are you sad about Youyou? It doesn't matter. Youyou is fine now, and he has eaten unclean food, that's why it's like this. It has nothing to do with you. Don't take this to heart.
After Lu Mengjian finished speaking, the wooden stick in Chuntao's hand pounded faster and faster, and finally pounded on her hand. She pinched her red fingers and finally raised her head awkwardly, dodged Lu Mengjian's eyes, and her voice was soft like a mosquito buzzing.
Chuntao said, "Actually, there are no deep-fried dough sticks and soy milk at all in Huo's house."
Lu Mengji listened and stared at Chuntao tightly. She thought that Chuntao was sad because of Youyou's poisoning, but she didn't expect that there was another hole in it.
"Do you know what's going on with today's breakfast?"
Chuntao dodged Lu Mengji's eyes, and her thick lips were a little trembling. She stood up at a loss and wiped the soap foam on her body.
"You already know, right?" Lu Mengzhen finally couldn't help shouting at her. Looking at Chuntao's appearance, she obviously knew a little inside story, but she actually had the heart to watch Youyou's poisoning and didn't want to tell her that Lu Mengji had been sincere to Chuntao in the past!
"I went to the big kitchen to find my mother last night..." Chuntao was so scared that she stepped back two steps, unconsciously wrapped her hands around the corners of her coat, and lowered her head and said, "But my mother is not here. It really has nothing to do with me. I just sneaked in to steal chicken legs and did nothing else..."
Chuntao's body began to tremble. Lu Mengji saw her appearance and suddenly calmed down. After so many days, she knew that Chuntao was a simple and honest person. With her nature, she really couldn't do anything harmful.
"Chuntao, don't be excited, sit down, take a deep breath, don't be excited, or you will get sick again..." Lu Mengji helped Chuntao sit down on the bench. When Chuntao calmed down, he looked into her eyes and asked, "What did you hear? As long as you say it, I will not punish you."
Therefore, in Chuntao's extremely slow and disorderly words, Lu Mengji finally understood the origin of the soybean milk deep-fried dough sticks.
It turned out that after having dinner in the big kitchen yesterday, the cooks dispersed after busy work. Chuntao saw that Lu Mengjian and Youyou were not in the yard, so she was bored and wanted to go to the kitchen to find her mother. However, after looking around, I didn't see my mother's shadow. Coincidentally, there was no one in the big kitchen. Chuntao saw the remaining plate of chicken legs on the shelf. She couldn't stand the greedy worms. She sneaked over, grabbed a chicken leg and began to nibble.
But after nibbling, two people came in at the door and were so scared that Chuntao immediately bent down. Fortunately, they did not find the existence of Chuntao. Chuntao grabbed the chicken leg and dared not make a sound. She only showed her two eyes and looked carefully at the two people not far away. One of them seemed to carry a wooden food box and put it heavily in front of the stove. The other turned his back to the direction of Chuntao, opened the food box and asked the person carrying the wooden box, "Are you sure she will eat this kind of thing?"
"Don't worry, if she doesn't eat, I'll write my last name upside down! Besides, as far as her origin is, it's good to eat these. First of all, she is used to eating mountain and sea delicacies in the house. Looking at this may also evoke memories of the past and recall bittersweetness!"
"I don't care what method I use, just let her eat it. I'll give you this. Remember to throw this in tomorrow morning. After it's done, you know what you will get!"
The person carrying the food box smiled and nodded repeatedly, and the two walked out of the door together. Chuntao lost the chicken leg in his hand and looked at the door for a while. After confirming that there was no one, he couldn't help but be curious. He opened the food box and took a look. It was just fried golden deep-fried dough sticks and stinky soy milk. These are all eaten by ordinary people outside, and they have never appeared in the big kitchen, so Chuntao didn't pay attention to it at all. Run out secretly while no one is around.
Unexpectedly, the soy milk and deep-fried dough sticks went to Lu Mengji's yard, and the worst thing was that Youyou was poisoned. Therefore, Chuntao has been blaming herself for this. If it hadn't been for her carelessness, if she hadn't been lazy in the morning, such a thing would not have happened...
After listening to this, Lu Mengji blushed with anger and couldn't wait to rush to the big kitchen to ask what was going on.
Obviously, someone deliberately poisoned her. What they said was obviously Lu Mengji, but it was Youyou who suffered!
"Do you know who those two are?"
Chuntao shook her head, "I don't know. I've never seen it before, but one of them is very familiar with his voice. He seems to have stayed in the big kitchen before, but it's been too long and I can't remember it."
At that time, because the light was too dark, Chuntao did not see the appearance of the two people clearly, but vaguely remembered the outline of the two people.
Lu Mengji was so angry that she walked around the courtyard and finally calmed down. She entered the house and took out the food box that Youyou brought. There were still some deep-fried dough sticks and soy milk left in the box.
"Chuntao, you have to remember that no matter who asked what you said to me today, don't tell others, even your mother, remember?"
Chuntao nodded and saw Lu Mengjia walk out of the door with a food box.
