Jiang Quhan's words shocked everyone in the room.

Lin Xitang's eyes widened and he shook his head in disbelief: "How could my mother be poisoned? Your Highness, Prince Qian, how can you be so sure?"

Jiang Quhan stood up and handed him a white handkerchief with a blackened silver needle wrapped in it.

"This was tested by taking a little blood from your mother's finger and adding my medicinal powder. Judging from her pulse, the poison was actually not too deep."

"No wonder those quack doctors failed to diagnose the specific cause of the disease. They just thought she suffered from postpartum deficiency, so they blindly prescribed some warming medicine for her. As a result, her body became worse and worse!"

Lin Wanqiao asked eagerly: "Your Highness King Qian, what kind of poison was in my mother?"

Jiang Quhan frowned slightly: "This is something I can't determine at the moment. Although I have diagnosed Mrs. Lin as having signs of poisoning, I can't be sure what kind of poison it is. Unless I can know what she ate and why she was poisoned." Poisoned."

When several members of the Lin family heard this, their expressions were heavy, and they could not figure out anything.

Ning Zijun suggested: "It's better to take away all the servants of the Lin Mansion for interrogation. There will always be clues."

Ning Ziqing disagreed with him: "We must not make too much noise. Our two families are getting married now. You and your sister-in-law are getting married soon. If the news that Mrs. Lin was poisoned comes out at this time, it will definitely cause a commotion in Kyoto. It attracts criticism!”

Elder Lin Ge and Father Lin looked at each other and both felt that Ning Ziqing's words were reasonable.

The room fell silent again.

Lin Wanqiao walked to the bedside and looked at Mother Lin who was sleeping. Her eyes were red and she was crying: "My mother has always been kind and kind, and she has never had any grudges with others. Who is so cruel to do this to her?"

Ning Zijun stepped forward to comfort her: "Ah Qiao, don't worry. We will definitely find out the truth, bring the murderer to justice, and seek justice for my mother-in-law."

Lin Xitang bowed deeply to Jiang Quhan: "Your Highness, King Qian, is there a cure for my mother's poison?"

Jiang Quhan replied leisurely: "There is no need to worry about this little poison. I have just administered acupuncture to temporarily suppress the poison in Mrs. Lin's body. You should stop all the medicine she is currently drinking. The poison will be found out. , I can just prescribe the right medicine!"

Lin Xitang and the others gratefully thanked Jiang Quhanxing.

Jiang Quhan gently waved his folding fan to signal them to excuse themselves, and reminded them again: "You need to find out the poison Mrs. Lin received as soon as possible. Her body can't be held back much longer."

Lin Xitang and the others were anxious, recalling all the daily details about Lin's mother.

Mrs. Yu immediately went out to interrogate several maids and women around Mother Lin.

After a while, she came back disappointed, without asking for any useful clues.

When Ning Ziqing saw this, he couldn't help but become anxious.

She bit her finger, thought for a moment and murmured: "I heard my brother say that Mrs. Lin's health only got worse after giving birth to her sister-in-law."

"Then was she poisoned while she was pregnant with her sister-in-law or during confinement? Think about it, is there anything strange during that period?

Her words reminded Father Lin and the others.

Mrs. Lin frowned and thought carefully.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, and she shouted outside the house: "Call Mama Ge in!"

Soon, a kind-faced woman came in.

Mrs. Lin called her forward.

"Mother Ge is Aqiao's mother's nanny. She has been serving her for many years. Let's ask her!"

Jiang Quhan looked at Ge's mother and asked seriously: "Did your wife have any special favorite foods when she was pregnant with your second lady?"

Ge's mother thought for a long time and then replied: "I remember, my wife was just pregnant with the second lady at that time. She was very happy in the first three months and had a poor appetite. After the fetal image stabilized, her eating habits were no different from usual."

She thought about it again carefully, and her eyes suddenly lit up: "I remembered that when Madam was six months pregnant, there was a period of time when she especially liked Zeng Kee cakes, and she ordered her slaves to buy them several times."

Ning Zijun was slightly surprised: "Are you talking about the Zengji Pastry shop in Liuyi Alley?"

Mother Ge nodded: "Yes, that's the one."

Ning Zijun was a little surprised: "My grandma used to love the pastries sold in this store. Every time Aunt Su came to visit her, she would bring her the most delicious "Jifeng Cake" made in that store.

Ge’s mother was surprised: “What a coincidence, our wife also loves this pastry the most.”

The two people's words instantly aroused Jiang Quhan's suspicion.

“What’s so special about this pastry?”

Lin Wanqiao said eloquently: "Your Highness, you don't know something. Zengji Pastry Shop is a time-honored shop that has been in existence for three generations. The pastries it sells are unique and taste great. They were very popular in Kyoto City at that time."

"Later, because my mother always remembered their "Ji Feng Cake", I tried to make it several times, but my mother always said it didn't taste like the one she had back then."

Ning Ziqing was very curious: "Is this pastry really that delicious?"

Ning Zijun recalled: "I have eaten it once. The pastry tastes sweet and delicious, not as sweet as other pastries, and it also has a light fragrance."

"That's the scent of Jixincao." Lin Wanqiao added.

After hearing what they said, Ning Ziqing really wanted to try this pastry.

But when she caught a glimpse of Jiang Quhan frowning and rubbing his fan bones thoughtfully, she vaguely noticed something.

Ning Ziqing came up to him and asked tentatively: "Do you suspect there is something wrong with this Jifeng cake?"
