Betrayal —
These two words kept spinning in Ning Shu's mind, causing her to be puzzled no matter how hard she thought.
Betrayal was the opposite. Betrayal was the same. Going back on one's promise and going against one's heart was betrayal. Even if Li E 'er felt that she had lost her innocence and implicated Zhou Xiang's reputation, she was forced by someone and not of her own free will. Thus, there was no betrayal. But if the person she betrayed was not Zhou Xiang, then who could it be?
As for the word "regret" that came out of nowhere, what exactly was she regretting?
As she pondered, the carriage slowly stopped in front of the Jiang family's gate. After pondering for a long time without any results, Ning Shu jumped out of the carriage first and walked over to the Jiang family's gate, banging on it.
The servant asked, "Who is it?"
"Ning Shu of Duke Guo fu."
The door opened a small crack, "What is the matter?"
"I have been ordered to investigate the case of the envoy's sudden death. I would like to ask —"
"My family's Daren is on official business and is not at home. Please go back." The servant finished speaking without any trace of politeness. "Bang!" The door was closed tightly. The force was so great that Ning Shu's nose was covered in dust.
Ning Shu snorted twice and continued, "I am not here to see your family's Daren. Where is your family's Fourth Young Master? He was invited to the banquet that night and was one of the few people who did not leave from beginning to end. I have a few questions to ask him. "
The servant was even more impolite, "My family's Young Master is unwell and is inconvenient to receive guests. Everything that should be said has already been said to the people of the Supreme Court. Please do not disturb him again."
Ning Shu, "…"
The servant said, "Why are you still not leaving? Our Jiang fu does not welcome those who come uninvited. "
It was said that the Prime Minister's residence was a seventh-ranked official. This Minister's residence was not to be outdone. Ning Shu glanced at Xiahou Qing beside her and said, "Nan Ping Wang's Heir Apparent is right beside me. Are you sure you do not welcome him?"
The people in the door were obviously in a panic. There was a flurry of footsteps inside. Not long after, the golden door finally opened. Minister Jiang personally came to welcome Xiahou Qing. He wished he could bring Xiahou Qing in like Buddha.
Seeing Ning Shu's mocking look, Minister Jiang immediately scolded the gatekeeper, "What's the matter? Lady Ning was ordered by the emperor to investigate the case, but she dared to block the door without telling me. How preposterous! Lady Ning, please don't take offense. Hurry up and apologize to Lady Ning! "
Ning Shu waved her hand and teased, "Minister, you worry too much. There is no need to be angry over such a trivial matter. After all, even a dog on the road knows how to rely on people's power. Minister, don't you think so?"
Minister Jiang blushed and his face twitched. He showed a guilty look, "Ah … It's not that I take advantage of my seniority, but that my son is too disappointing! He doesn't do anything serious all day long. He only knows how to flirt all day. Since he came back from Xunfang Terrace yesterday, he hasn't been well. Yesterday, he barely dealt with the Supreme Judiciary's inquiry and then fainted. We've invited several doctors, but now he can't even get up. I'm really ashamed. "
Xiahou Qing raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the emergency of your son?"
Minister Jiang glanced at Ning Shu who was also curious. His face was even more embarrassed. He was simply ashamed to see people, "Prince Xiahou, the doctor said that his Yang Qi was exhausted too much and he was frightened … It's, it's the disease of Yang Deficiency …"
Puff!
Ning Shu tried hard to hold herself back for a long time to not lose her composure. No wonder the Jiang Family's door was closed and they didn't cooperate. It was too shameful. He had such a disease at such a young age. If word got out, how could he raise his head in the capital?
Even someone as calm as Xiahou Qing couldn't help but show a strange expression, "Don't worry, Lord Jiang. We're just going to ask a few simple questions. We won't provoke the Fourth Young Master."
Minister Jiang couldn't refuse, so he could only say, "Okay … This way, please."
He personally led the way in front. Ning Shu could finally see the Fourth Young Master, who was out of control. His face was indeed pale, and his whole body was dripping with cold sweat. He was lying on the bed, and even breathing was too exhausting. Several doctors were brewing medicine beside him. Ginseng and monkshood were thrown into the medicine stove as if they were free.
Minister Jiang was angry and distressed. Fortunately, he turned his back and didn't look.
"Let me take his pulse." Xiahou Qing walked forward and said.
The doctors didn't know who he was, but they felt that this person was extraordinary. They hurriedly lifted the Fourth Young Master's weak arm and handed it to him.
Ning Shu knew that he was a genius, but she didn't expect him to be so good at diagnosing and taking pulses. Therefore, she curiously craned her neck to take a look. After taking the Fourth Young Master's pulse, she probed the Fourth Young Master's forehead and neck. Then, she said, "Someone gave him an aphrodisiac, and a large dose."
Minister Jiang immediately turned around, "Who wants to harm my son?"
