Chapter 495 Not asking for trouble
Qin Huaizhao smiled helplessly, "Mom, don't worry, Zhang Kui often went into the mountains before, he is familiar with the road, he will be fine."
"Don't you know Jinlan's skills?"
Princess Rong was still worried, "But..."
Qin Huaizhao comforted her, "Mother, why are you more worried than me? They are just going up the mountain to collect herbs. The remnants of the Qingsong Chamber of Commerce in Jincheng have been cleared out. They are not in any danger."
He had his mission, which was to keep an eye on Qin Xian.
If Qin Xian has an attack, he must be tied up immediately.
Qin Shuangchi went to inquire about the news around Kyoto City and Liyang to make sure that the affairs of the Qingsong Chamber of Commerce had not been leaked.
To buy them more time to find an antidote.
No one was idle.
Princess Rong had no choice but to give up, but she was still worried to death.
The three of them went into the mountains to collect herbs and had a good harvest.
It was already afternoon when they returned to the city. Zhang Kui gave the poisonous grass to the three patients. They screamed in pain, but the effect was indeed very good.
It only causes pain without leaving any wounds.
After sobering up from the pain, I was able to temporarily control the urge to drink.
Although it was a tough fight, at least there were no more pig-slaughtering screams in the yard.
Zhang Kui was very happy that this poisonous herb was effective and planned to pick some more tomorrow morning.
Jiang Ningwan and Ling Jinlan did not return until the evening. Princess Rong had been waiting in the front yard for an unknown period of time. She was relieved only when she saw them return safely.
The two were chatting when Ling Jinlan said happily, "This poisonous herb is a good way to help people quit drinking. We can use it on Ah Xian."
Jiang Ningwan nodded, but her tone was heavy: "But Qin Xian hasn't had an attack in such a long time, I don't know when it will happen again."
The case of Qingsong Chamber of Commerce and Ru Mengzui cannot be concealed for too long, and will eventually spread to Kyoto.
She wanted to get Qin Xian to quit smoking as soon as possible. If it worked, she could ask Prince Rong to report the case to the Qingsong Chamber of Commerce.
Princess Rong happened to hear this and hesitated to speak.
"Mom." Ling Jinlan greeted.
Princess Rong smiled and said, "Did you encounter any danger in the mountains? I'm glad you're back."
"Dinner is already prepared. Wash your hands and take a rest."
Ling Jinlan nodded.
Seeing the two of them were about to leave, Princess Rong swallowed the words back several times.
On the one hand, she felt that something was wrong with Qin Xian and Du Wanyun, but on the other hand, she was afraid that if she spoke out, she would become a gossip and disgust Jin Lan.
So that night, she went again.
Sure enough, Du Wanyun was seen coming out of Qin Xian's room again.
During the day, she finally couldn't help it and sneaked into Du Wanyun's room.
I want to see what secrets they are hiding.
Unexpectedly, Du Wanyun, who had just returned, caught him red-handed. "Princess? What are you doing in my room?"
Princess Rong, who was caught in the act, secretly complained about her bad luck. She had chosen a time when no one was around, but she didn't expect Du Wanyun to come back so soon.
"I... I came to find you, thinking you were in the room." Princess Rong made an excuse, but her panicked look betrayed her.
"I have something else to do. I'll tell you more later."
Princess Rong pretended to be in a hurry and ran away.
"Princess!" Du Wanyun frowned, even more panicked than Princess Rong.
I quickly opened the cabinet to check Ru Mengzui, and she was still there!
I wonder if Princess Rong saw it?
So he had to go find Qin Xian quickly.
Discuss countermeasures.
Princess Rong ran out of the yard in a panic and was caught by Ling Jinlan.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Princess Rong, who was still in shock, was frightened again. After looking back, she hurriedly pulled Ling Jinlan away.
Pulling her to the empty corridor, she said, "I'm not trying to make things difficult for Du Wanyun. I just think there's something wrong with her, so I couldn't help but sneak into her room."
"I don't mean to steal her things!"
She knew that she couldn't keep this secret, so she might as well confess it first.
Hearing this, Ling Jinlan was confused, "What on earth happened?"
"Why did you go into Aunt Du's room?"
Princess Rong then explained, "I had a bad stomach that night, so I went out for a walk. Late at night, I saw Du Wanyun coming out of Qin Xian's room, wiping away tears."
"She was still holding a lunch box."
"I felt strange, so I passed by again at the same time the next night and saw her coming out of Qin Xian's room carrying a lunch box."
"She's been doing this for five nights in a row!"
"I couldn't help myself today, so I went into Du Wanyun's room to see what she was up to."
"This Qin Xian is the same. He eats in the middle of the night every day. Isn't he afraid of indigestion?"
After hearing this, Ling Jinlan was shocked and felt a little strange.
After confirming again, he asked, "Mom, are you saying that Aunt Du brings food to Ah Xian every night?"
"Yes."
Hearing this, Ling Jinlan seemed to be lost in thought. There was nothing to doubt about this, but it was a bit strange if it happened every day.
But without evidence, it's hard to make random guesses.
Then he said, "Mother, it's not surprising that Aunt Du brought food to Ah Xian at night. You have no ill intentions, so Aunt Du will not blame you."
Princess Rong nodded and said nothing more.
During lunch, after waiting for a long time, Aunt Du and Qin Xian finally came over, both of them looked a little strange.
Everyone ate in silence and the atmosphere was quiet.
It happened that the wine on the table was gone, and Qin Huaizhao put it aside without pouring it out. Princess Rong hurriedly ordered someone to bring some wine.
Ling Jinlan said, "No need, mother. Ah Zhao has been drinking quite a lot these past two days. Although this isn't Ru Meng Zui, drinking too much isn't good either."
Qin Huaizhao nodded, "Yeah, it doesn't matter if you don't drink."
Aunt Du and Qin Xian on the side held their bowls of rice but couldn't eat a single bite. Qin Xian frowned and looked grim.
He suddenly put down his bowl and chopsticks and stood up.
He took two steps back and knelt down before Prince Rong.
It scared everyone.
"What are you doing?" Prince Rong asked in confusion.
Aunt Du also stood up and knelt beside him, with her head lowered as if she had done something wrong.
Qin Xian admitted, "I was drinking Ru Meng Zui secretly."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed drastically.
Seeing Prince Rong about to get angry, Du Wanyun quickly said, "These are two jars of wine I hid earlier. I thought Ah Xian wouldn't be able to quit drinking for a while, so I needed to keep them for a while."
Qin Xian interrupted, "I'm useless. I couldn't handle it myself, so I begged my mother to give it to me."
“I can’t quit.”
What made Prince Rong most angry was not that he secretly drank Ru Mengzui.
Instead, he gave up on himself and said he couldn't quit.
Prince Rong stood up angrily and slapped him hard.
The slapping sound was particularly loud.
"Useless! Can you please show some promise?"
"So many people are trying to help you, but you actually gave up on yourself? Are you worthy of being my son?"
Prince Rong was extremely angry and threatened to take action.
Qin Huaizhao pulled him back in time.
Qin Xian lowered his head and said weakly: "I know I don't deserve it."
"I disappointed Dad."
"Or you can just pretend that you never had a son like me."
This made Prince Rong's face turn pale with anger. He pointed at Qin Xian angrily and said, "You! Rebellious son!"
"Don't even think about escaping what's yours! I'm going to make you quit drinking!"
"Someone, lock Qin Xian in the room! Seal the windows, and no one is allowed to see him without my permission!"
