But according to Qingyu's description, Situ Xi was still prepared to take action on this matter. He planned to go and have a look tonight to see if he could still catch the suspicious person.
He comforted her and told her not to worry too much, and asked her to inform her family members not to drink the well water for now, and to ask Mr. Bian later.

After everything was done, Situ Xi returned to the room. Zhong Li was reading in the study. Situ Xi didn't want to disturb her, so he sat on the bed and opened the boxing manual.
…
Today's morning session lasted for a long time.
It was almost past midnight when the civil and military officials came out of the palace. Most of the officials' faces looked a little solemn at this time.
There was trouble in Yuxin Street yesterday and the Imperial City was sealed off. They expected that His Majesty would focus on the matter at today's court meeting. But after learning the details today, what shocked many people was that those thieves yesterday were trying to assassinate the prince.
for purpose.
Assassinating the prince in the imperial city, the so-called "daring" is nothing more than that.
Moreover, His Majesty was furious at the court meeting today, and Long Yan was furious. It seems that in the coming days, the ministers will have to pay more attention to their words and deeds, and be careful to avoid offending Long Wei.
On the road, three officials in purple robes were walking side by side, with beads of sweat on their foreheads, and they were talking to each other in very low voices.
"Looking at His Majesty's attitude today, I'm afraid Xuan'an City will not be peaceful in the past two days." The middle-aged man on the left spoke. Thinking of Your Majesty's angry appearance, he couldn't help but sigh.
"It should be so. I went to see the chaos on Yuxin Street yesterday. Several shops were burned down, and there were still wet stains on the street. My residence is right next to the East Market. Last night, my wife and children were at home.
They are all extremely worried and on tenterhooks." The older man on the right spat.
"Even dead soldiers are used... I always feel that there has been a storm in Xuan'an City in recent days. Alas, these thieves!"
"At the end of spring, there are many people who come to Beijing to report work, do business, return home, and travel. In addition, the Flower Dynasty is approaching, and there are also many people coming to watch the ceremony. It is inevitable that some villains will sneak in."
"Let's not talk about this for now. You two adults, in addition to attending court in the past two days, it is best to go out less with your family members." The youngest man walking in the middle finally spoke up, his face seemed grave.
Shui, a little gloomy, "You don't know something. When the Xuanwu Guards searched the city last night until today, before the court meeting, three adults had been escorted to the palace on suspicion of colluding with assassins. Mr. Yan Huiyan was also there.
in."
"How could it be possible?!" The middle-aged man on the left exclaimed, suddenly realizing that he had lost his manners. He looked around and asked in a small voice: "How could a person who writes in words do such a thing?
What happened?"
The old man on the right didn't believe it either. He thought for a while and said: "Master Yan is usually a bit straight-tempered, but you and I both know his character. He is the most honest person since he became an official. This is absolutely impossible."
, there must be some misunderstandings, there is no need to blame anyone."
"Yes, but yesterday the Xuanwu Guards found a large amount of gold and silver in the Yanfu wing..."
…
The officials returned home with deep thoughts, closed the windows and doors tightly, and began to give some instructions to the younger generations in the family.
Most of the shops in Dongshi were closed today, and naturally there were not many pedestrians on the streets.
Although Xuan'an City was sealed, there was no order prohibiting people from going out. Compared with the east market, the west market seemed extremely lively at the moment.
No matter at any time, there will be people who are keen to talk about the rumors they have heard, especially the kind of rumors known as "grapevine".
Although the people who tell these stories may not even know which path this "little path" is, it does not affect their ability to satisfy their "desire to share."
There is a spacious open space next to the intersection in the center of the West Market. At this moment, many people walked out of their homes and took up a single stool to discuss the major events in the city in the past two days. It seemed that many people knew about it. The inside story of the lockdown.
Crowds gathered in the open space, including young men and women, as well as children and old people. There were even two old men squatting and playing chess on the roadside.
Occasionally, two or three soldiers would pass by. They patrolled the streets but did not disturb the business and activities of the people around them.
Only a few people knew about the assassination of the prince, and His Majesty did not make it public. In order not to cause excessive panic, the people's activities continued as usual.
People were relaxing in this open space. Amidst the bustle of people, six or seven young men were carrying a square table to the center of the open space.
The table fell to the ground with a loud sound, and a middle-aged scholar in white robe walked to the table holding a folding fan in one hand and a piece of wood in the other.
A group of guards followed behind, placing a chair for him and placing a book and a water glass on the table for him.
Two young women holding musical instruments and instruments also found a stool and sat beside him.
Such a scene naturally attracted everyone's attention quickly, and passers-by couldn't help but slow down.
"What is this going to do?"
"I don't know where this rich scholar came from. I've never seen him around."
"It seems like I'm going to perform a piece of music, so I'm going to be lucky today."
The scholar sat on the wooden chair without making an introduction or shouting to the people around him. He turned his head and saluted the two women behind him with cupped fists. When the two girls received the signal, they nodded and started fighting directly. Now that you have the xylophone, pick up the bamboo flute in your hand and play it.
The sound was neither too loud nor too quiet, and the music was relatively melodious, so it did not appear to be obtrusive in the noisy market. The sound of the flute was beautiful, and people looked at it sideways.
Halfway through the performance, the two women changed their eyes, one played the harp and the other played the sheng, and the music suddenly became more urgent.
When the scholar heard the music, he looked around and saw that there were more and more people watching. He coughed slightly, straightened his clothes, put the folding fan in his hand and put it on the table. He lifted the gavel with his right hand and placed it on the table. A hard beat.
