Chapter 1610 It turned out to be poisoning
Sima Chen sighed.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to leave today or tomorrow."
"Why?"
Sima Chen led them into the yard: "Because something strange happened in the valley."
He was about to continue speaking when the people from the Sima family who lived with them noticed that Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu had arrived, and they all came forward happily to greet them.
Soon, all the people from the Sima family in the three courtyards arrived.
Everyone was worried about Mr. Sima's health, and Yan Ruyu appeared like a god descending from the sky at this time.
Although Uncle Sima was not feeling well, he was not unable to get out of bed, and he managed to come out to greet the guests.
Huo Changhe held him and said, "No need to be polite, let's go in and talk."
Yan Ruyu turned around and said to Sima Chen, "Don't you still have your second uncle? Can you move? If you can, come with him."
Second Uncle Sima lived in another courtyard. He came here upon hearing the news and happened to hear these words.
"I am here."
His face was pale and bluish, his lips were bloodless, and he walked with an unsteady step. His wife supported him and he could barely walk.
From the outside, the situation is similar to that of Uncle Sima.
They entered the room and sat down on chairs.
Yan Ruyu washed her hands and said, "Everyone must gather here, spread out a little, and get some fresh air."
"Their families, please recall what they ate and used and describe it in detail."
After saying that, Yan Ruyu took Uncle Sima's pulse.
As soon as it touches the skin on the wrist, the space will issue an alert.
Yan Ruyu frowned slightly.
This is poisoning, not a disease!
Yan Ruyu remained calm and continued to take the patient's pulse. It was indeed poisoning, but fortunately, the poison was not very strong.
The same is true for Second Uncle Sima.
Both of them were poisoned by the same poison.
Yan Ruyu took back her hand and said, "It's okay. It's probably because I just arrived here and I'm not used to the local climate. I happened to have some herbs with me. I'll boil two bowls of them and drink them. I'll be fine after a short rest."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Uncle Sima also smiled.
"I was still worried that my illness would get worse and I wouldn't be able to travel, delaying my trip."
As soon as the words fell, a rough voice came.
"How is your health, sir? Are you feeling better? I'll find a doctor at the inn!"
Uncle Sima explained: "This is Li Yishi, he has been escorting us all the way and has worked hard."
Li Yishi should refer to Li Zaibiao.
Huo Changhe nodded: "You two should have a good rest. I will go to see him and tell everyone by the way."
Yan Ruyu prepared medicine for the two of them. Huo Changhe went out to meet everyone and reminded them not to reveal their identities.
I also had a very pleasant chat with Li Zaibiao, listening to him talk about his time in the mountain stronghold and this time escorting the Sima family.
Inside the house, Yan Ruyu first gave them both acupuncture, asked them to close their eyes, then took out some dried fruits from the space and poured hot water into them.
As the aroma wafted out, Uncle Sima felt much better and thought to himself that the princess's medical skills were indeed extraordinary.
He took out the needle and asked the two to drink two cups of fruit water mixed with an antidote pill and swallow them.
Seeing that their complexion improved and their breathing became smoother.
"I feel much better, thank you princess."
They both stood up and saluted.
Yan Ruyu said, "Please take a seat, you two. You are welcome. I have something else I want to ask you."
"Princess, please speak."
"What have you eaten, drunk, or touched?"
The two looked at each other, and Uncle Sima said, "We all eat the same food. We all eat in the lobby, and drink... I have the habit of drinking tea after meals, and I bring my own tea."
"The water was brought by the waiter," he recalled, "and the waiter said it was freshly boiled."
Uncle Sima nodded: "Yes, my situation is the same as that of my uncle. I was drinking tea here with my uncle at that time."
The food they ate was the same, and there were dozens of people in the family. It was impossible that only the two of them were infected. The only thing that was infected was the tea.
They both drank, and drank together.
"Is the tea still there?" Yan Ruyu asked.
"Yes, yes," Uncle Sima stood up and took the remaining tea.
There's no more in the teacup, but there's still some in the teapot.
But when he saw the teapot, he was stunned: "This..."
empty.
Second Uncle Sima realized that things were not simple, and the questions asked by Yan Ruyu were also unusual.
"Princess, my uncle and I..."
"You are not sick," Yan Ruyu said truthfully, "you are poisoned."
Uncle Sima and Uncle Sima were both shocked: "Poisoned?"
"Who wants to harm us?"
Yan Ruyu had no intention of hiding it. She glanced outside and saw Huo Changhe was giving instructions about some matters concerning Yinding.
"I'll let the prince tell you later that we didn't come out for fun this time, and it's not a coincidence that we met you here. We chased you all the way, day and night, just to find you."
When they heard this, they were shocked and stood up quickly.
When Yan Ruyu arrived outside, Yinding had already got the key to the courtyard, which was opposite the three courtyards of the Sima family.
"Your Highness," Yan Ruyu explained the situation in a low voice, "I'll go check out the accommodation and prepare some food. Your Highness, please go talk to them first."
"it is good."
Yan Ruyu took the boss and the silver ingots away and gave them some food.
Everyone traveled all night last night and it was very tiring.
After hearing the purpose of Huo Changhe's visit, Uncle Sima was so excited that he couldn't express it in words.
"This...what can I say? The prince has saved the lives of our clan again," he bent his knees and was about to kneel down.
Huo Changhe hurriedly held him, but Second Uncle Sima knelt down.
"Uncle is old, I have to kneel down," he kowtowed several times.
"Your Highness, Princess, and the brothers have traveled day and night just for our family. We will all remember this great kindness and never forget it."
Huo Changhe said earnestly: "The Sima family is too prominent. If you return to the capital, it will inevitably cause a change in the situation. This is something some people in the court do not want to see."
"So, the journey back to the capital is full of dangers. Since I know this and have caught up with you, there is no reason for me to let you take risks again."
"In addition to Li Zaibiao, I will arrange some people to escort you all the way. In addition, the originally planned route cannot be taken anymore."
"The valley ahead should not be safe."
Uncle Sima nodded: "Indeed, many people did not leave the inn early this morning because a strange thing happened."
Sima Chen had mentioned before that something strange had happened, but he hadn’t finished.
"What happened?"
The two looked at each other, and Uncle Sima said, "We were both feeling unwell, and we were worried that our trip would be delayed. Unexpectedly, Xiaochen went out to check on the situation, and came back to say that everyone in the inn is waiting and watching, and no one dares to leave."
"Last night when we were dining in the lobby, a troupe of opera singers came. That troupe was a little special. There weren't many people, only six in total. Two of the men were very ugly, and one had her face covered. The other two women were very beautiful."
Huo Changhe listened to their stories and imagined the scene. The appearance of these people was indeed eye-catching.
"and then?"
