Zhang Yingzi left Old Man Zhang's room and the palace maid waiting in the courtyard said, "Miss Zhang, let's go back quickly. Otherwise, it will be past the palace lunch time."

  "In that case, why don't we have lunch here before leaving?" Zhang Yingzi took the opportunity to say.

  "This matter has not been reported to the Majesty." The palace servant said, "Originally, we were told to return to the palace before lunch, and we dare not disobey. Otherwise, the young lady and the servants will be in trouble."

  Zhang Yingzi really didn't want to go back and eat those cold meals.

  Since we knew that time was tight and we had to go back before lunch, why couldn't we give her more time and let her at least have lunch at Gu's house before leaving?

  "I got it." Zhang Yingzi looked unhappy. She came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

  Zhang Yingzi didn't know that on her way back to the palace, Doctor Lu was in front of the Emperor and Empress.

  "I have found a poison that can cause similar symptoms in my medical skills." Doctor Lu said, "I have tried to adjust the prescription according to this poison, but it is not completely effective. However, it has some effect and is slowly expelling the toxins from Old Man Zhang's body."

  "The saint's guess is correct. Old man Zhang is indeed poisoned, not seriously ill." Doctor Lu said, "It's just that the treatment is not completely correct. The speed of expelling the toxins from Old man Zhang's body is still not as fast as the damage caused by the toxins in his body."

  "But it has been able to slow down the speed of the poison taking effect on Old Man Zhang. At least this has bought me a lot of time to continue studying the poison in Old Man Zhang's body and change the prescription. At least the prescription now has some clues, and we can make some changes based on this prescription." Doctor Lu said.

  "Old man Zhang is getting better now, maybe someone will notice it?" The Queen said, "Zhang Yingzi is going to Gu's house to see old man Zhang today."

  The queen explained to the saint, "As a daughter, we must go back to see our seriously ill father. We cannot stop her from doing this. Otherwise, it will be detrimental to our reputation."

  "Don't worry, Your Majesty." Doctor Lu said, "I added a drug to the prescription that makes Old Man Zhang sleepy. Old Man Zhang has accumulated toxins in his body, so even if he gets better now, there won't be a significant difference from before. Coupled with the sleepiness, it will make people feel that he is getting weaker and weaker."

  The saint nodded and said, "You should quickly research a prescription that can completely cure Old Man Zhang."

  If this poison was really prepared for him, saving Old Man Zhang would be the same as saving himself.

  Although we are now on guard and have set a trap to find out the person who poisoned.

  But just in case, saints still like to make preparations for both scenarios.

  "Yes." Doctor Lu said quickly.

  "Your Majesty, Zhang Yingzi has just entered the palace." Pan Lunchi came to remind.

  When the saint heard Zhang Yingzi's name, his face darkened visibly.

  I disliked Zhang Yingzi before because of her behavior.

  Now that it was confirmed that Old Man Zhang had been poisoned, the Saint became more and more suspicious of Zhang Yingzi's involvement.

  If Zhang Yingzi is really related to Old Man Zhang's poisoning, then Zhang Yingzi deserves death!

  It is very likely that Zhang Yingzi was the one who poisoned him!   Even if it was not Zhang Yingzi who poisoned him, Zhang Yingzi was related to the poisoning of Old Man Zhang.

  Zhang Yingzi is the daughter of Old Man Zhang!   Old Man Zhang loves Zhang Yingzi so much, but Zhang Yingzi can be so cruel to Old Man Zhang. She is really unworthy of being a human being!   "Since it is confirmed that Old Man Zhang was poisoned, then keep an eye on Zhang Yingzi." The saint said coldly.

  "Yes." Pan Lunchi lowered his head.

  "Are the palace maids assigned to Zhang Yingzi trustworthy?" asked the saint.

  "They are all trustworthy." said the queen. Among them, there were secret guards arranged by the saint watching inside.

  He not only stared at Zhang Yingzi, but also at the palace maids around Zhang Yingzi.

  The saint nodded, "I feel that we should be close to closing the net soon."

  Some secret guards are investigating in Chong'an, just waiting for their news.  

  At this time, the secret guard who went back to Gu's house with Zhang Yingzi came back to report everything that happened to Zhang Yingzi at Gu's house, including what Li Mumu said.

  "Madam Gu is smart." The saint felt a little better. "With her words, Zhang Yingzi will stay in the palace even if she grits her teeth."

  "Yes." The Queen said, "But Zhang Yingzi's behavior is strange to me."

  "If she wanted to poison the Saint, she should have tried harder to stay in the palace." The Queen frowned, "Unless there is someone else in the palace. Or, she plans to do something when she is at the Gu family, such as the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, when Madam Gu will always bring something into the palace. At that time, she can not only harm the Saint, but also Madam Gu."

  "It's possible." The saint said in a deep voice.

  "Zhang Yingzi also asked about Old Man Zhang's condition," the secret guard said, "asking whether Old Man Zhang felt better and if he was getting better."

  "It's hard to judge at the moment. Is she checking on Old Man Zhang's condition, or is she just a daughter's concern for her father?" said the Queen.

  The secret guard then told the emperor and empress what Old Man Zhang had said.

  "How did Zhang Yingzi react?" asked the saint.

  The secret guard said: "I seem to have seen Zhang Yingzi exhale, but it was not obvious, so I cannot be completely sure."

  The saint's expression became even colder. "Exhaled? Why did she exhale? Did she feel relieved that Old Man Zhang's health had not improved?"

  The saint was now completely suspicious of Zhang Yingzi and no longer considered her a good person.

  The secret guard said nothing.

  He just told what he saw.

  "Anything else?" asked the saint.

  The secret guard said, "Miss Zhang seemed dissatisfied with her meals in the palace and wanted to stay at Gu's house for dinner, but was urged to return by the palace servants."

  "There is nothing else." said the secret guard.

  The saint snorted coldly, "When she was poor, her life in the mountain village was much harder than it is now. Now she is complaining about the food. She really doesn't know what she is talking about."

  Nowadays, the saint has nothing good to say about Zhang Yingzi.

  The saint asked the secret guard to go down.

  The sage pondered for a moment and said to the queen, "Now it seems that keeping a close eye on Zhang Yingzi may not be a good idea."

  "If Old Man Zhang's poison is really related to her, then someone in the palace should have contacted her. It's not good to watch her too closely so that the person in the palace can't find a chance to contact her." said the saint.

  The queen thought for a moment and said, "Why not wait for the secret guards to come back from Chong'an and see what happened to Old Man Zhang and Zhang Yingzi in Chong'an before making a decision. This will prevent us from alerting the enemy."

  "Okay." The saint nodded.

  The royal family has taken over Zhang Yingzi's affairs. Now that she is no longer at the Gu residence, which makes people upset, the Gu family members feel a lot more relaxed.

  Now all we have to do is take good care of Old Man Zhang.

  Li Mumu then turned her attention to the family business.

  Although grilled skewers are added to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in order to lure out the snake, just tell me whether the grilled skewers of Gujia Snacks will be served at the royal banquet!
