Seeing Chu Yan’s eyes turned cold, the emperor’s heart tightened. He also realized that he treated the two sons differently.

But sometimes, some things were done unconsciously.

When you wanted to say something, you will just blurt it out. Then, you can no longer take back the water you spilled out.

Chu Yan stopped talking, concealed the coldness in his eyes, and sat back in the chair with a faint expression.

Chu Feng continued to speak: “Imperial father, whether this son is on the battlefield or in the court, my prestige is not as good as of the sixth brother. If you let such an unknown envoy go to the state of Jin, I’m afraid that it will arouse the dissatisfaction of the Emperor of Jin. Although this son is the elder brother, he is far less prestigious than the sixth brother. The sixth brother must be the envoy this time.”

Chu Yan raised his eyes and glanced at Chu Feng, he didn’t say a word. He simply turned his gaze and looked at the emperor.

The emperor frowned and waved his hand: “There is no need to discuss this matter. This is not a good time to go and be an envoy.”

He originally called Chu Yan to come to discuss countermeasures. But as a result, there was an uproar. The emperor felt that he had a headache again.

On the 26th day of the first month, it is an auspicious day to marry.

The wedding of Zhao Lan and Hu Changlin was very simple. Without the complicated etiquette, they just stayed together with the family, worshipped in the hall, had a meal, and went to their bridal chamber.

Hu Feng was very guilty. He originally wanted to make this into a big event, but now that they were facing an unknowing event, he could only hurry things and make it simple.

Hu Changlin and Zhao Lan were not people who care about these things. It was enough that the two of them can be together and the family was happy.

The family didn’t know what was happening in the capital. And there was no need for them to know. They don’t want them to live in fear all day long.

It was not until they were sent to the gate of the city that Zhao Lan and Dongfang Wan realized that Bai Zhi had no intention to go with them.

All the family members are leaving, why doesn’t Bai Zhi leave with them?

Zhao Lan and Dongfang Wan didn’t want to leave anymore. It took Bai Zhi a long time to send them away.

After they leave the capital, she can do things with peace of mind.

On the way back to the mansion, Dongfang Mu asked Bai Zhi asked: “The Gu worm exterminator hasn’t been found yet. How about you?”

Bai Zhi shook her head: “I don’t have a clue. I’m still trying to find a way.” She got the licorice that had been sold before from Luan Pharmacy Shop but found nothing unusual in it.

She didn’t even know what the Gu worm was, let alone understand the characteristics of these insects. How could she find a way to crack it?

However, no matter what, it’s good to know yourself and the enemy!

But the next moment, her heart sank.

“Grandpa, there must be people in our house who have been to Luan Hall to get medicine. Do me a favor–”

After returning to the mansion, Dongfang Mu ordered people to secretly visit the servants in the mansion and found out all those who had been sick recently and had taken medicine. There were more than 10 people.

After Bai Zhi inquired one by one, she found out seven of those people went to Luan Hall and bought medicine. And four of them had eaten licorice.

She didn’t show any change of emotion on her face. She simply let people quietly stare at the four people to see if they were different from the past, or if there was anything special or abnormal behavior.

Sure enough, within less than a day, the people who were monitoring reported back: “Miss, A’Fu only eats vegetable on weekdays and never touches meat, but today I saw him eat half a bowl of braised pork. He would never do such a thing before.”

“What about after eating? Is there anything unusual?” Bai Zhi asked.

The servant busily replied: “There are indeed differences. The reason why A’Fu doesn’t eat greasy food is that he had diarrhea every time he eats it. What’s strange is, even if he had eaten half of a bowl of braised pork today, he didn’t have diarrhea.”
