Xia Henqiu naturally had a solution. When the envoy team was on the way to Su City, he suddenly fell ill, his whole body trembled, his face was white and blue, and he looked very dangerous. The accompanying officials are very nervous, and the entire team is even more anxious. Although Xia Henqiu is very important, it is more important to return to the imperial capital to face the Holy Spirit. If the schedule is delayed, you will be killed. In the end, we could only take a compromise. The team continued to go north, Xia Henqiu stayed behind to treat the disease, and then hurried back after waiting.

Due to the sudden illness of the top officer, the accompanying officials only contacted the local government for a while, and left Su City without stopping.

So the three of them successfully stayed, and Xia Henqiu waited in the inn for the doctor's arrival.

Xia Zi went out to ask for a doctor, Jiang Lan changed her face, and when everyone who knew her had left, she stopped dodging and walked around in front of people generously.

"You stayed like this, but how did you get into the Shen residence? Could it be that you have to change your face too?" Jiang Lan was very curious when he looked at the sick man. He was so realistic when he pretended to be sick. This man can really act.

"No," Xia Henqiu shook his head, took a breath, and his face became even paler, "My status is more favorable, don't worry, we will enter the Shen residence in an upright manner."

Just as he was talking, he heard footsteps coming from afar, and the two immediately fell silent. Xia Henqiu lay crookedly on the bed, and Jiang Lan covered him with a quilt.

Xia Zi invited the doctor, and behind him were some local officials such as Shen Qun and Zhou County magistrate.

Seeing Shen Qun, Jiang Lan froze for a moment, lowered his head and stood silently on the side.

Shen Qun walked at the front and glanced at the people in the room, but he didn't pay attention to Jiang Lan on the side. Seeing the weak people on the bed, he immediately went to the county magistrate and them to salute, "Master Xia has done his best for the court, and I admire him. To, please also ask Master Xia to take care of your health."

Xia Henqiu reluctantly sat up to return the salute, and Jiang Lan and Xia Zi hurried forward to serve. He said, "Master Shen Miao Zan, Xia has been in poor health since he was a child, and he has really lived up to the expectations of the Holy One." His voice was low and hoarse, with broken notes in the magnetism, as if a cello suddenly broke a string.

Jiang Lan handed him the water to drink, Xia Henqiu waved his hand to refuse, and the old doctor stepped forward to check his pulse.

Everyone didn't speak for a while, waiting for the doctor's diagnosis.

After a while, the old doctor said: "My lord, this is a long-term overwork, and the long-term running has caused the old illness to break out. It needs a quiet environment to rest well."

Xia Zi and the old doctor went to get the medicine. Xia Henqiu's face was pale and yellow, and his expression was weak. He took a small sip of water from the cup handed over by Jiang Lan, and swallowed very hard.

Shen Qun looked around, hesitated and said, "This is not a place to recuperate. If Master Xia doesn't dislike it, you might as well go to Shen's house to recuperate."

"This way..." Xia Henqiu hesitated for a moment, as if thinking, and then clasped his fists and thanked him, "Thank you, Lord Shen, for your help, I will wait for a few days and wait for Xia to return to the imperial capital, and I will be very grateful."

Shen Qun smiled back, his gentle and elegant face was indifferent, "Master Xia is polite, this is a blessing."

The matter was so finalized, Shen Qun immediately returned to the mansion to prepare, Xia Henqiu rested for a while, and got on the carriage to the Shen mansion with the help of everyone.

Jiang Lan looked at the weak Xia Henqiu and whispered in his ear, "Aren't you lying? Are you really sick?"

Xia Henqiu nodded, "Sickness is fake, disease symptoms are real, it's just a little medicine, you can get sick quickly and get better quickly."

"But you look very uncomfortable." Jiang Lan was puzzled.

"It's really uncomfortable." Xia Henqiu reclined on the mat, "Falsification will only make people suspicious, and the crime of deceiving the king cannot be afforded."

Jiang Lan hurriedly stepped forward and leaned the cushion against his back, lest the bumpy carriage make him suffer, "You don't have to do this, just be a little more thoughtful. Isn't this suffering?"

Xia Henqiu smiled, "The truth and the illusion are only separated by a wall, but if you want to mix the fake with the real, you have to make a fake. In this way, you can't tell what is the truth and what is the illusion."

Yeah? Jiang Lan sat down, so the so-called murder case in the secret room was actually a false one? After all, there is no murderer who disappears out of thin air in a world without ghosts. If her inference is true, then the murderer is this person.

"By the way, what should I call you?" Xia Henqiu asked.

Jiang Lan thought for a moment, "Call me Xiaozhu, this is the name that my master gave me." The name Jiang Feng has become history, and it is naturally impossible to use it when entering the Shen residence.

The carriage quickly arrived at the Shen residence and drove directly into the yard specially prepared for Xia Henqiu.

Originally, the maid should sleep in the ear room, but it is said that Xia Henqiu doesn't like the sound of other people's breathing in the room when he sleeps, so there are three rooms for three people, and Xia Henqiu lives in the center.

Shen Qun arranged the guests and said to Xia Henqiu on the sickbed, "Master Xia is recuperating in peace. If you have anything to do, just tell the servants, don't be polite."

He said goodbye and left, leaving behind a large number of servants to serve.

Jiang Lan was in a hurry. He wanted to investigate immediately, but he was afraid of causing suspicion. As a personal maid, he couldn't leave the seriously ill Xia Henqiu alone. It is also difficult to eavesdrop on the corner in the clear day and day, and these servants who are sent seem to be very strict.

Xia Henqiu looked at Jiang Lan's round and round appearance and reminded her, "It's useless if you are in a hurry, give me some medicine."

Jiang Lan picked up a bundle of medicine bags and went to find a place to decoct medicine, only to find out that this is a guest room, there is no kitchenette at all, and I was overjoyed, and the opportunity came.

She walked out carrying the medicine bag, grabbed a little girl and asked, "Where is the kitchen, I want to decoct medicine."

The little girl showed her the way, and Jiang Lan seemed to admire and said enviously, "I heard that Lord Shen loves the people like a son outside, and loves his wife inside. Madam Shen is really lucky."

The little girl glanced at Jiang Lan, didn't speak, her eyes were a little unnatural, she didn't speak, she just kept walking forward, took Jiang Lan to the kitchen and ran away without a trace.

Jiang Lan is so strange. Could it be that what he said was wrong, and he was wrong to flatter him?

She picked up the medicine jar and hid while decocting the medicine. There were many people in the big kitchen. Seeing which little girl Jiang Lan thought it was, she didn't care, and talked while doing things.

"Oh, since that happened, it has been very uncomfortable to stay in this mansion."

"It's all that bad girl Jiang Feng who killed the eldest miss, and framed Young Master Chu, and implicated the wife."

"Yes, yes, since she came, things haven't been broken. It actually attracted the attention of Hou Ye and Chu Gongzi. I really can't see that she is such a coquettish child."

"It was originally, you didn't see that she was not very good-looking, but her figure is more coquettish than the oiran in Yihong Courtyard."

…

Jiang Lan felt a mouthful of blood linger in her mouth, she turned her back to them, and continued to listen.

"The madam is really pitiful. Lord Hou probably still hates her, and the main courtyard will not return. This time, none of the three girls will have a good end. Jiang Feng committed suicide in fear of crime, and Hong Ling drowned in the well. Jin Zhi has the best life, and he was frightened and crooked on the bed for two days."

Jiang Lan was shocked, "Jiang Feng" died, Chu Huaiyu was treated coldly, Hong Ling actually died, Jin Zhi was critically ill, and almost everyone had no happy ending, so what about Caihuan?
