what is it?

A Liang picked up the porcelain vase and was about to catch up and return it to the seventh prince, but with a bang, the gate of the mansion was closed.

She looked at the closed door as if the appearance of the seventh prince was not quite right. It seems that it is not a good time to find him now. We'd better wait.

Thinking so, she went home.

Back at Jiang's house, he took out the porcelain vase he had just picked up from his sleeve and couldn't help wondering what was in it.

A Liang carefully opened the cork. She just took a look and would never move the contents. When she went to see the seventh prince in the future, she gave them back to him.

The porcelain jar jingled as if there were several pills. She poured out one to the palm, and the pills were dark red.

"This is..."

She leaned over and smelled, her face slightly changed, "poison?"

What is contained in the porcelain vase is actually poison, which can kill people immediately. Why did the seventh Prince take the poison?

A Liang was puzzled. At the same time, he felt puzzled. Did the seventh Prince want to murder anyone? He is a noble prince. Why use poison secretly and kill people directly!

After thinking about it, I really couldn't figure it out. Other people's things had nothing to do with me, so I loaded the poison back and threw it aside. I want to wait until I see the seventh prince, and then give it back to him.

After everything, her eyes fell on the old wooden box again.

He looked a little stunned.

Another place.

One day after Jiang's caravan left the capital, it met a small town on the way. It was ready to stay overnight and continue on its way tomorrow morning.

The fatigue of the long car made Jiang Jingshu feel unwell. She moved her waist and felt sore.

Jiang luo'an noticed Jiang Jingshu's face and frowned, "how, can the body bear it? Why don't we rest for two more days?"

Anyway, the business of the caravan is not urgent. It's OK to slow down.

Jiang Jingshu shook her head, "uncle, I'm fine. I just haven't been out for a long time and don't adapt... I'll be fine when I get used to it."

Jiang luoan didn't say much when she saw her persistence, but as long as she had anything wrong, she would stop the team immediately.

Talent is more important than making money.

If shu'er has a good or bad, it is estimated that her sister will nag him to death. Jiang luoan thought silently in her heart and opened her mouth: "well, you have a good rest. If there is any inconvenience, tell your uncle."

"I see. Thank you, uncle." Jiang Jingshu smiled.

Jiang luoan turns and leaves. Jiang Jingshu looks at Jiang luoan's back and smiles more brightly.

She didn't know her uncle well, and she didn't say a few words in two lives, but her uncle's care for her was true. She was glad to have such an uncle.

The yuan family is not alone. At least they have an indomitable uncle.

Jiang Jingshu turns and walks into the guest room. Ping'er has made her bed. "Miss, the bed has been made. Do you want the store to prepare a hot bath?"

"Yes." Jiang Jingshu replied.

Ping'er immediately went out and asked the store to prepare bath buckets and hot water.

Originally, there would be no hot water in such a small inn, but the yuan family was rich and generous. They rewarded silver at will. The waiter happily responded and immediately went to burn hot water.

Jiang Jingshu takes off her headdress and is taking off her earrings. She is preparing to take a comfortable bath to wash away the fatigue of the day.

She should go to Yangzhou as soon as possible. She can't waste her time in such a place. She couldn't slow down the pace of the group. Since she chose to follow the trip, she had to hold on with her teeth.

Thinking so, her eyes were dignified and flashed a determination.

At this time, there was a slight noise outside the door.

Jiang Jingshu put down her earrings and got up to open the door.

But after two steps, the footsteps suddenly stopped. The footsteps outside the door were heavy, not Ping'er's footsteps. So... Who's outside?

Is that Dr. Tao?

Jiang Jingshu's eyes flashed doubt and stared at the door.

The rustling sound outside the door was messy, not one person, but two people... After a while, the sound was quiet.

I don't know why Jiang Jingshu's heart feels uneasy. She quietly steps back and walks to the bedside. Her hand probes into the Untied burden, touches the ceramic white bottle and holds it tightly in her hand.

At this time, the door was suddenly pushed open and Ping'er came in, "Miss, the bath water is ready!"

Jiang Jingshu held the ceramic white bottle tightly and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it was Ping'er.

"Miss, what's the matter?" Ping'er looked pale with fear when he saw that the young lady's face was not quite right.

Jiang Jingshu calmed down and said, "did you see someone at the door just now?"

"The door?" Ping'er turned and looked at the door, then shook his head, "no, there was no one when the maidservant came. Miss, don't worry. The whole third floor of the inn was wrapped by the yuan family, and there will be no outsiders."

Ping'er thought it was Jiang Jingshu, who was worried that outsiders would break in and comforted her.

The third floor is full of people from the Jiang family caravan. With guards, everything will be fine.

Jiang Jingshu's face was dignified, but just now she heard the footsteps of two people, stopped in front of the house and paced back and forth quietly. If she hadn't had sensitive ears, she wouldn't have found anyone outside the door.

Who are they? It disappeared after only a while. Ping Er didn't see anyone when he came over.

Jiang Jingshu couldn't let go. She always felt that things were strange.

Ping'er smiled and said, "don't worry, miss. It must be because of the long car."

At this time, the shopkeeper brought up the bath bucket, and soon the steaming hot water was ready, sprinkled with delicate petals.

Ping'er said, "Miss, the maidservant will guard outside the door. If you need it, call the maidservant." then Ping'er went out and closed the door.

Jiang Jingshu looked at the shower bucket and frowned slightly.

The next moment he sighed, "maybe I think too much..."

These days, because of Ning Luo Qi's affairs, my mind is tense and I'm too anxious.

There were footsteps outside the door. Maybe it was the people of the yuan family caravan passing by. She thought too much.

Jiang Jingshu thought so, took off her clothes and walked into the bath bucket. Although the doubts in my heart were put down, my vigilance was not reduced. I got up after a quick bath.

Until the end of the dinner, it was very calm and nothing different.

She thought to herself that she was too nervous.

"Miss, let's have a rest earlier today. There are Jiang family guards outside the door. Miss can be at ease."

Jiang Jingshu nodded, "OK, go back and have a rest. You don't have to stay here."

Ping'er looked haggard and yawned. She couldn't bear it all the way. When Jiang Jingshu saw her, she asked her to go back to her room and have a rest. She didn't have to stay here to serve.

As soon as Ping'er was happy, he nodded and immediately withdrew.

The room returned to silence. Jiang Jingshu glanced at the door and then blew out the candles.

Tonight is the full moon night. The moonlight mistily falls into the room. Even if the candle is blown out, you can vaguely see the furnishings in the room.

She lay down on the soft bed and looked at the bed curtain on the top with her eyes open.

My mind was full of things about Ning Luo Qi and Gu poison, as well as Ning Fu and the princess of South Vietnam... These chaotic things formed a big net and rushed at her.

She was in a cold sweat, upset and couldn't sleep.

I don't know how long, a moment, or half an hour

There was a sudden movement outside the door.

Jiang Jingshu looked slightly changed. The people outside the door deliberately lowered the sound of footsteps, but under her vigilance, she heard it clearly.

Who is it? It doesn't sound like a guard. It's more like someone is searching for something.

Was it true that what she heard before was not an illusion?

Jiang Jingshu was alert and subconsciously grabbed the white porcelain vase next to her. At this time, she creaked and pushed the door open slightly.

Someone came in.

She frowned slightly and didn't act rashly. She wanted to see who the visitor was and what the purpose was.

The guard outside the door was silent. I didn't know what had happened. At this time, the whole Inn was quiet and silent.

The visitor came in with light steps, scanned around, and her eyes fell on the bed. Jiang Jingshu closed her eyes and paid keen attention to the voice. She felt that the coming person was approaching step by step.

There was a buzzing sound, as if there was something.

Jiang Jingshu was surprised. It was the sound of pulling out the scabbard. The man took the knife!

Footsteps are getting closer and closer.

The man stared at the woman on the bed with a cold look in his eyes and found... Their task was to get rid of Miss Jiang and doctor Tao. After tracking and inquiring, he learned that the Jiang caravan lived in this inn.

They sneaked into the Inn and drugged the food. At this time, everyone fell asleep. It's the best time to kill and set fire.

The man held the knife tightly and raised it slowly, ready to stab it.

This time suddenly——

The man on the bed opened his eyes!

Dark and bright eyes stared at him without any fear. He asked coldly, "who are you?"

The man gritted his teeth and stabbed him with a knife.

Without hesitation, Jiang Jingshu threw the white porcelain bottle in her hand. The man saw a porcelain bottle thrown over inexplicably and subconsciously blocked it with a knife.

With a bang, the porcelain vase broke, and a bitter smell filled the air.

Jiang Jingshu had already prepared a handkerchief and covered her mouth and nose.

"Cough..." the man coughed and took a half step backward, "what's this! Cough..."

Jiang Jingshu got up, got off the bed and said calmly, "it's poison."

"What? Poison?" the man stared and subconsciously covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve, but it was too late. He had inhaled it long ago.

He gradually felt dyspnea and his face turned red, "ah..."

Jiang Jingshu looked coldly at the man in front of her. There was no mercy in her eyes. The man wanted to kill her just now. If she didn't use poison, I'm afraid she would have died by the man's knife at this time.

"Who sent you? Do you want to kill me or the yuan family?" she asked coldly.

The knife in the man's hand fell and painfully covered his neck, "antidote... Give me antidote..."

"Answer me, who sent you?"

"Antidote... I..." the man struggled. His face gradually turned pig liver color and his breath was short. Under the threat of life, he chose to tell a secret to save his life.

He's just doing things with money. He doesn't have to fight for his life.

"I said! Yes... Yes, Mrs. Ning..."

"Mrs. Ning?" Jiang Jingshu was surprised. Unexpectedly, it was Mrs. Ning, and the Ning house had been traced here!
