Xue Wanxian stared at the butler for a long time before asking him to stand up.

"Get up. I'm leaving this matter to you. You must find out who the real murderer is within three days. Otherwise, I'll hold you responsible."

"Yes, my lord. I'll go right away." The butler nodded.

Xue Wanxian was about to leave when he suddenly felt his stomach churning. He swayed and almost fainted. Fortunately, his condition seemed to be better than Baihe's and he hadn't vomited blood.

After taking Lily's pulse, the doctor shook his head in embarrassment.

"This lady's condition is very bad. I'm afraid there's nothing I can do to help her."

"Quack, change the doctor." Lily's maid couldn't help but curse as she looked at the unconscious person on the bed.

He was apparently fine in the afternoon, how come he suddenly became poisoned and fell ill?

However, no one listened to her maid, and the doctor quickly left with the medicine box.

Xue Wanxian invited the elderly Doctor Yang to come over.

Doctor Yang took Xue Wanxian's pulse and found that he was poisoned. Although the poisoning was not serious, his condition was not very good.

"Doctor Yang, how is the Marquis' condition?" The butler looked at Doctor Yang anxiously.

Xue Wanxian is now the only proper master in the mansion. If anything happens to him, the entire mansion will be finished.

Doctor Yang did not answer the housekeeper's question. Instead, he took out a silver needle and gave Xue Wanxian a few injections. After Xue Wanxian spat out two more mouthfuls of blood, his originally blue face turned a little paler.

"The Marquis' condition is somewhat serious. This time he just ate less, so the poisoning was relatively mild. Now, although the poison has been resolved, the damage to his body is very serious. He needs to be more careful in the future."

"Yes, yes, thank you, Doctor Yang." Hearing that Xue Wanxian's condition was not that serious, the housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, someone came to report that Lily's condition was very bad.

The housekeeper hesitated for a moment, then asked Doctor Yang to go and see Lily again.

However, after taking the patient's pulse, Doctor Yang said that he was powerless to help, as Lily was too deeply poisoned and could no longer survive.

The housekeeper arranged for someone to take care of Xue Wanxian, and then quickly took people to investigate the poisoning.

Naturally, the news about Lin'an Marquis' Mansion could not be hidden from An Qingqian.

"Miss, according to the person who spread the news, Lily is no longer able to make it. Xue Wanxian's condition isn't as serious, but he's not doing well either." Boyun told An Qingqian what happened at the Marquis of Lin'an's Mansion.

"Who is the murderer?" An Qingqian even felt a little regretful when she heard that Xue Wanxian was not dead.

"The murderer is Doctor Qi from Renshan Hall. The packet of poison was given to him by Liu Yiyi before she was taken away by the government troops. I think it was because of Liu Yiyi's instructions.

So he attacked the Lin'an Marquis Mansion at night."

"When Xue Chun investigates this matter, ask someone to help Xue Wanxian find out as soon as possible that it was Liu Yiyi who wanted to poison him and kill him."

"Yes, ma'am."

With An Qingqian's help, Xue Chun found out the murderer the next day.

Although Xue Wanxian had woken up, he was still very weak. He heard that the person who poisoned him was a doctor from Renshan Hall, whose surname was Qi.

He found it quite strange as he did not remember any grudges between him and Doctor Qi, so he reported the matter directly to the authorities and asked them to investigate.

The government officials finally found out that the case was committed by Liu Yiyi.

So, the government officials told Xue Wanxian about this matter.

"Liu Yiyi? Is it her?" Xue Wanxian did not expect that it would be Liu Yiyi who would attack him.

If he hadn't wanted to see Lily because of the portrait, so he didn't eat much of the food she passed to him, he would have died long ago.

"My Lord, that's right. Liu Yiyi and Doctor Qi are old acquaintances. Liu Yiyi hated you so much that she wanted to harm him.

She personally went out to buy the poison, and then gave it to Doctor Qi, who bribed the servants of the Marquis's mansion, and that's how the Marquis and your aunt got poisoned."

The yamen guard who came to deliver the news told Xue Wanxian the situation truthfully.

Xue Wanxian paused for a long time after hearing the news.

"Liu Yiyi, you cruel and vicious woman, you hate me so much!!"

Xue Wanxian thought of the sweet words Liu Yiyi said to him and how obedient she was to him when they were at the border.

He closed his eyes, asked someone to change his clothes, and took them to the prison.

He knew that Liu Yiyi had been arrested and imprisoned.

Liu Yiyi's identity is special and her case is related to Prince Yong's affairs, so she is imprisoned in the innermost dungeon and is guarded very strictly.

Normally, even if Xue Wanxian was the Marquis of Lin'an, he would not have the ability to meet Liu Yiyi.

However, An Qingqian had contacted Shi Qiuwu in advance and asked him for help. When the time came, she could ask Xue Wanxian to spend some money so that she could meet Liu Yiyi.

She wanted to see what these two people who loved each other so much would talk about when they met now.

Xue Wanxian initially thought that with his status as a marquis, it should not be difficult to meet Liu Yiyi.

However, as soon as he arrived at the prison gate, he was stopped by the guards.

"Stop, who are you? Do you have a token?"

"I am Xue Wanxian, Marquis of Lin'an." Xue Wanxian had never been to a place like this before, so he didn't know anything about the token.

"So it's the Marquis, do you have a token?"

Hearing the name of Lin'an Hou, the man sneered in his heart. He was guarding here, so what kind of people had he not seen?

Princes and nobles had to be polite when they saw him. The man in front of him was just a small marquis, yet he dared to put on airs here. If it weren't for that person's order, he would not bother to pay attention to him.

"What token?" Xue Wanxian was puzzled. Do you need a token to enter the prison and see someone?

"My Lord, to enter the prison, you need either the emperor's decree or a token. I see that you don't seem to have the decree with you."

"Are these two things necessary?" Xue Wanxian had never known about this.

"Of course, but..." The man nodded confidently, and then, when no one else was paying attention, he pointed to the silver bag on Xue Wanxian's waist.

The guard's meaning was very clear: even without these two things, silver would be fine.

Xue Wanxian naturally understood this logic. Although he was somewhat reluctant, he still took out ten taels of silver and stuffed it into his pocket.

The guard took the money and his attitude became better.

"My lord, I don't know who you want to see?" The man touched the silver in his sleeve and secretly cursed Xue Wanxian for being too stingy.

"It's a woman named Liu Yiyi. She was captured three days ago."

"What? Liu Yiyi?" The man's face changed instantly when he heard the name.

Then he quickly returned all the silver in his hand.

"My Lord, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that this person has a special status, so I don't dare to do it."

"What do you mean? Isn't she related to Prince Yong?"
