"Your Majesty, the medicine bowl is poisonous."

What sounded at the same time as the mechanical sound was the voice of Zhou Yan's guard.

Lin Xing immediately came back to his senses. Thinking of the mechanical sound just now, he thought that it was strange. The mission was to find out the cause of Zhao Yi's death. The guard found out that the bowl was poisonous, which proved that Zhao Yi was poisoned. Didn't he complete the mission?

.

In front of Zhou Yan, Lin Xing did not check what the next task was. She accepted a hundred points, then recovered and took the bowl from the guard's hand, and asked: "Is it just this bowl that is poisonous, or every one?"

Are the bowls poisonous?"

"Every bowl is poisonous," the guard answered truthfully.

"So, the poison is in the medicine." Lin Xing turned around and called the boy sent by Uncle Zhong, "Do you know who made the medicine for me?"

The boy thought carefully and said, "The soups and medicines that the master made during his lifetime were all prepared in the kitchen and brought here."

After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something, and quickly added: "No! When the master was ill at the beginning of this year, the medicine was indeed prepared and delivered from the big kitchen. But just a month before the master passed away, the master said that the decoction from the big kitchen was

It takes too much effort to boil it and then deliver it, so I changed it to a small kitchen to cook it myself."

"Then how often does the master change his medicine bowl?" Lin Xing handed the medicine bowl in front of him, "Do you still remember when this bowl was used?"

"I don't remember this little guy." The boy said, looking up at her, "Later, the master's soup and medicine were all your responsibility, madam."

Lin Xing was speechless for a while.

At that time, the original owner was still serving Zhao Yi, but Lin Xing had no specific memory of that period.

The only thing that is certain is that the poison in the soup was definitely not administered by the original owner, otherwise Zhao Yi would not have been able to hand over the Que Ling seal letter to her.

After waving the boy down, Lin Xing sighed.

Zhou Yan came over and asked, "Mrs. Sister-in-law, does she know who was exposed to the decoction during that time?"

"If I knew, I wouldn't have to be so distressed." Lin Xing smiled bitterly, weighed the bowl in her hand, and said, "If I hadn't firmly believed that I had not administered the medicine, I would have doubted myself."

Since they couldn't find anything, they simply went back home. Before leaving, Zhou Yan asked the guards to go to Yuzhou Mansion to dispatch people to take care of everything here and not allow anyone to mess with it.

They got into the carriage and returned along the way they came. Halfway through, they heard the sound of a quarrel outside. The guard asked: "Sir, the road ahead is blocked. Can we go another way?"

Zhou Yan glanced at Lin Xing, who was still in a daze, and said, "Then change."

Lin Xing still didn't know what was going on outside. She was pretending to be in a daze and checking the content on the panel in front of her.

On the panel is a system query: "The points have been received. Please choose the host to accumulate points to exchange for channel keys, or light up the skill star level."

Is there still a choice? Of course, you can accumulate points to redeem the channel keys and go home. Lin Xing muttered in her heart,

The panel shows that the points have been deposited into the account, and then a task prompt pops up.

"Mandatory mission: Help Zhao Jie win the first place in the Qingyun Club. You will get 150 points for completing the mission. The penalty for mission failure is to be determined."

Why is the punishment yet to be determined? Your system is not underage, right? If I were the system myself, I would be more professional than you.

Lin Xing complained quietly, and was about to open the mission bag to introduce Qingyunhui. Suddenly the carriage stopped suddenly, and the anxious voice of the guard came to mind outside: "There is an assassin! Protect the crown prince!"

It's only been a few days, and there's another assassin?

After recovering from the system, Lin Xing grabbed Zhou Yan's hand and said, "Your Majesty, run quickly!"

With the experience of being assassinated last time, Lin Xing knew that it was better to run away if she was hiding in place at this time, because at least the moving target would not be so accurate.

Obviously Zhou Yan agreed very much, he grabbed her hand and jumped out, picked up a knife at random, and ran into the alley while protecting Lin Xing.

"No, you can't run that way! Go to a crowded place!" As soon as she saw the dark alley, Lin Xing felt that it was very dangerous and forced Zhou Yan to run in the opposite direction.

But Zhou Yan's legs seemed to be filled with lead, and Lin Xing couldn't pull them at all.

"Sister-in-law, can you believe me?" Zhou Yan looked at her in disbelief, stopped and asked.

Lin Xing nodded anxiously and said: "I believe that the prince is very skilled, but now it's not about whether I believe you or not, but because this place is too dangerous! Only by winning those assassins to as many places as possible can they be afraid to take action.

."

Just pretend that she has no sense of ethics. Anyway, this is just a game and everyone is an NPC. Even if she dies, the game will be restarted at worst.

So Lin Xing didn't understand what Zhou Yan meant when she looked at him.

Zhou Yan stubbornly took her to the alley, "Since Madam-in-law believes in me, there is no need to harm those innocent people. I will definitely protect Madam-in-law!"

After half a stick of incense, Lin Xing felt like crying without tears as she looked at the five men in black fighting with Zhou Yan.

But she couldn't tell Zhou Yan that those people were all NPCs, and it didn't matter even if they died - Zhou Yan didn't even know what NPCs meant, so it was all in vain.

Now, Zhou Yan and the killers blocked the only way out, and Lin Xing had no choice but to wait where she was.

She squatted down and watched Zhou Yan fight with the killer, while she opened the panel to check the relevant information of Qingyun Society.

The Qingyun Club is a banquet held in Yuzhou City specifically for men and women of the right age. The men have the six arts of gentleman, and the women have six competitions of music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and tea.

Because Qingyunhui has a long history and is quite famous even in the capital, if you get the top spot in Qingyunhui, it will be of great benefit to participate in scientific examinations in the future.

After seeing all this, Lin Xing came back to her senses and saw that Zhou Yan had finished killing all the killers and was walking towards her with blood dripping from his eyes.

She quickly went up to him, supported Zhou Yan and asked, "How are you?"

The next moment, Zhou Yan completely fainted and died in her arms. Without answering, Lin Xing knew that he was seriously injured.

But the problem is that she, a weak woman, cannot carry Zhou Yan!

In desperation, Lin Xing called out the system, "If I don't care about him, will he die?"

"meeting."

Lin Xing frowned, "Isn't he an NPC? How could an NPC die?"

"Although it is a game world, these people really exist in the world, and they have birth, old age, illness and death like normal people."

After hearing what the system said, Lin Xing felt a sense of fear in her heart.

She looked at the bodies lying on the ground in the alley, "In other words, the dead are all living people?"

"yes."

Lin Xing instantly clenched Zhou Yan's hand.

If Zhou Yan hadn't stopped her just now, then those lying in front of her now would be the innocent people she killed as NPCs!

Suppressing the fear in her heart, Lin Xing shouted loudly, but for some reason there seemed to be no one of them nearby.

In order not to attract the killer, Lin Xing could only keep her mouth shut and asked the system: "Aren't you the system? Are there any useful medicines in the mall? I want to save people!"

"Please host to light up the skill star level and activate the system mall."

"Then light it up!"

It's now, how can she have any choice? She can't just watch Zhou Yan die.

"Congratulations to the host for lighting up the skill star level. The current medical skill level is: one star. It costs 100 points. The system distributes medicine for free: Golden Sore Medicine Basic Edition. Please check it."

Lin Xingrou looked at the medicine in her bag with pain and took it out for Zhou Yan to use.
Chapter completed!
