"Heh..." A low laugh suddenly sounded from the man's throat, and all the black-robed men present felt a chill in their hearts. They all lowered their heads and dared not utter another word.

He narrowed his narrow eyes, his gaze cold and knowing: "The poison in Southern Xinjiang is extremely sinister, how can it be compared with stabilizing a fetus? However... although no one in the world can cure the poison, Jiang Yu has always been scheming..."

He was silent for a moment, then turned around. The fire behind him suddenly lit up, making his already dark features even more sinister and gloomy. "Let our people keep an eye on him, and add fuel to the fire when necessary. As for the old coroner, continue to send people to track him down. Also, keep a close eye on the third young lady of the Shangshu Mansion to see if she has any secret contact with Jiang Yu."

"Yes!"

……

"Hey, you who's called Ye Mu, come out here!"

Chen Zhao looked at the aggressive Jiang Che in front of him, and said helplessly: "I guess His Royal Highness Prince Rong is in a good mood today, and he is dressed so... 'formally'."

Jiang Che looked down at his fully armed armor and raised his head confidently: "Today, I am here to avenge my previous humiliation. Where is Ye Mu who is guarding the warehouse? Call her out. I want to fight her to the death!"

"Of course, I will not bully the weak," Jiang Che puffed out his chest, "As long as she can break the armor I'm wearing within three moves, she wins!"

Chen Zhao held his forehead with his hand and said, "Your Highness Prince Rong, it's really an unfortunate coincidence that you came today. Ye Mu was sent out on a mission by the Lord. Today, I will take my turn to guard the warehouse. Otherwise, how about I practice with you?"

"Go, go, go," Jiang Che pushed him away, "I want to avenge my previous humiliation. What's the point of fighting with you? Since she's not here today, I'll come back another day."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned back sleekly: "Wait, since I'm here, I should go in and visit Sixth Brother."

As he spoke, he took off his armor and patted Chen Zhao on the shoulder: "Please collect it for me. It's very expensive."

Chen Zhao: ...

Jiang Che walked in with a swagger, mumbling: "Sixth brother, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but what kind of people are you surrounding yourself with? That guy named Ye Mu actually didn't care about my face as your seventh brother and drove me out of the house in front of everyone! You must make the decision for me..."

He pushed open the door and was about to adjust his voice to make himself sound more aggrieved, when he saw Jiang Yu leaning on the Arhat bed, drinking something with his eyes lowered, amidst the strong smell of medicine.

Jiang Che paused, walked over quickly, frowned and asked, "Sixth brother, what medicine are you taking?"

Jiang Yu swallowed the medicine and said calmly, "My stomach problem hasn't healed yet. This is medicine to nourish my stomach."

"Nourishing the stomach? Does the medicine for nourishing the stomach taste so strong?"

He glanced at the bottom of the dark bowl with the medicine residue, and his mind suddenly moved. His eyes were unusually deep and calm: "Sixth brother, are you hiding something from me? Did something happen to you in the fiefdom..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Jiang Yu interrupted him, his narrow eyes were as dark as ink, and his voice was calm and steady, "This is a tonic for the stomach. You know that my stomach needs long-term medication. I think you have been too idle recently. Go back and do the things I asked you to do. Don't be idle all day."

Jiang Che seemed to believe it, but he didn't quite believe it. He sat down next to Jiang Yu, got close to him and observed him carefully, and said with some doubt in his voice: "Sixth brother, you really are not hiding anything from me, right?"

"Of course not." Jiang Yu waved his hand calmly, asked someone to take the medicine bowl away, and said calmly, "Go back and stop asking me questions. I'm tired from investigating the case. I need to get some sleep."

"Then I'll come see you another day. You should have a good rest." Jiang Che was very obedient this time. He got up and walked out, closing the door.

He glanced into the house through the crack in the door, then avoided the secret guards and went to the kitchen.

He rummaged around in the kitchen and finally found some medicine residue in a medicine pot that was still a little damp and had not yet been processed.

Jiang Che glanced around, tore off a clean handkerchief, wrapped up a handful of things and put them in his sleeve, then quickly left Prince Rui's Mansion.

Chen Zhao saw his back running away from behind the armor he was holding, and shouted, "Your Highness Prince Rong, your armor, don't you want it anymore?!"

"Please keep it for me first. I have something important to do. Come back to get it another day!" Jiang Che's voice came from afar, but the person had already disappeared.

Chen Zhao stood there in a daze, somewhat surprised.

Over the years, His Royal Highness Prince Rong has been indifferent to everything and never takes anything to heart. Even when things are critical, he never gets anxious.

I don’t know what happened today, but it was so abnormal.

He frowned, then shook his head. Forget it, boys change a lot when they grow up.

He straightened his face and ordered his men to take King Rong's armor to the warehouse and keep it safe.

Not long after, Jiang Che returned home and hurriedly ordered someone to find his trusted imperial physician.

He took out the dregs and placed them in a bowl, then asked anxiously, "Doctor Xu, come and take a look. What disease is this dregs used to treat? Is it a stomach problem?"

It was also the first time that Doctor Xu saw Jiang Che so anxious. He did not dare to delay and hurried forward to carefully distinguish the medicine residue. He picked up a part with his hand and smelled it close to his nose.

Jiang Che paced back and forth anxiously, feeling an unprecedented sense of annoyance weighing heavily on his heart: "Doctor Xu, what exactly is this prescription for?"

"This..." Doctor Xu looked solemn, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "This contains a lot of precious detoxifying herbs. If I am not mistaken, this medicine should be used to detoxify. Moreover, this person has been poisoned quite severely, and I am afraid... he will not live long...

Your Highness, look at this long, thin, double-edged sword. It is called Double Star Grass. This medicinal material is just like its shape. Although it can alleviate the spread of toxins, it can also cause considerable harm to the human body. It is equivalent to a double-edged sword. Unless it is a last resort, ordinary doctors will not choose to use this medicine. "

Doctor Xu glanced at Jiang Che cautiously and said, "May I ask, Your Highness, who used this prescription?"

Jiang Che was completely unable to hear anything at this moment. He had never imagined that his sixth brother was actually poisoned and might not live long.

Such an important matter had been kept secret from him by his sixth brother. Perhaps even his father and mother were unaware of it.

How could he...how could he!

Jiang Che's heart was filled with shock and his thoughts were in a mess. His usually bright eyes were covered with a layer of gray, which weighed heavily on him.

He waved his hands as if he had lost his soul: "This prescription is used by my capable subordinates, go down."

"Yes." Doctor Xu accepted the order, bowed and retreated.

Jiang Che was flustered and didn't know whether to stand or sit. Finally, he fiercely swept everything on the table to the ground. He wanted to rush to Prince Rui's Mansion right now and ask Jiang Yu for clarification.

He turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped, with a faint light flickering in his eyes.

No, you can't go now.

He clenched his fists.

Since his sixth brother has kept it a secret even from him, he must have his reasons for doing so. Worrying too much will make him confused, so he has to stay calm, and when the time comes, he will find a chance to ask him for the truth!

……

Ever since he gave Jiang Yu the acupuncture that day, Lin Shuning felt like a huge weight was weighing on his heart.

The poison in Jiang Yu's body was not a problem for her, but she discovered that Jiang Yu had taken a lot of strong drugs over the years to suppress the poison, which had damaged the foundation of his body. Even if the poison was removed, he would most likely suffer from other serious illnesses due to his poor physical condition, and ultimately he would still not be able to escape the fate of dying young.

"Host, didn't you only promise to detoxify King Rui? Isn't it enough as long as you detoxify him? Why do you care so much about other things?" Xiaobai noticed her thoughts and tried to persuade her.

Lin Shuning sat on the couch and sighed: "Things are not as simple as you think. I received one thousand taels of gold for curing King Rui's illness and detoxifying him. If he died not long after I cured him, how could his men let me go?

Don't forget that behind him are not only those loyal subordinates, but also the Emperor and Concubine Xi. I don't want to be hunted down by the whole Dayan and live in fear all day long."

"Well...what you said does make sense."

"Then why don't you quickly find a way to give me Baiqiuye? As long as I have this medicinal ingredient, I can use Calabash Brothers to refine the Nine-Turn Guiyuan Pill recorded in the Xuanyuan Emperor's Scripture." Lin Shuning raised his hand and pinched Xiaobai, who had turned into a rabbit, and suddenly locked its neck, pretending to be angry: "If you don't find a way for me, I will kill you!"

Xiao Bai arched his back and rolled his eyes unceremoniously: "It's useless even if you kill me. The Baiqiu leaves need to be grown, but the current space level is too low."

"Isn't the money we have now enough?" Lin Shuning's eyes were dim and somewhat resentful.

"Of course it's not enough. I've spent most of my money upgrading the space during this period. If I want to upgrade to the planting stage, I'll need at least one thousand taels."

"One thousand taels?" Lin Shuning repeated like a tape recorder.

Xiao Bai snorted arrogantly: "One thousand taels of gold!"

"gold?!"

Lin Shuning felt as if she was pinching him instead of Xiao Bai, and his breathing almost stopped: "Where can I get this 1,000 taels of gold? It's not worth it even if you sell me."

"Then there's nothing we can do." Xiaobai shrugged, turned into a white shadow, and returned to the space.

Lin Shuning turned over on the couch bored, and said in an annoyed voice: "If I had known earlier, I would not have treated this King Rui. If I had to invest another 1,000 taels of gold, it would be a losing deal."

"Stop complaining, host. Today should be the day to give King Rui acupuncture again. Go quickly. People are eagerly waiting for you~" Xiaobai's voice came out while watching the fun.

Lin Shuning listlessly got up from the bed, picked up the medicine box, and walked towards the back door numbly.

At this moment, her mood was very bad. The flowers no longer smelled fragrant, the birds no longer sang, her blood flowed backwards, and her mood was extremely bad.

Seeing her distraught look, Chen Zhao asked doubtfully, "Miss San, are you feeling unwell today?"

"Yes, I feel uncomfortable. I feel uncomfortable all over, especially in my heart!"

Lin Shuning responded unhappily, then jumped onto the carriage, leaving Chen Zhao standing there in a daze.

He touched his nose and muttered in surprise, "What's wrong with Miss Third today? Why is she so angry? Could it be... that she didn't get enough rest last night and got angry because she woke up?"

When they arrived at Prince Rui's Mansion, Lin Shuning stayed in the carriage for a long time before trying his best to maintain a presentable expression before entering the house.

Jiang Yu only glanced at her and immediately noticed that something was wrong with her today: "Are you in a bad mood today?"
