Poisonous Pet World: The War King's Heart-stealing Medical Concubine

Not long after, her eyes, as sharp as an eagle's, suddenly locked onto one spot as if she had discovered her prey.

It turned out that on the emerald green leaves of the orchid, which looked like they were carved from jade, there was a layer of extremely thin white powder that was faintly visible. The white powder was so thin that if she did not have extraordinary observation and insight, it would be difficult for anyone to notice such a subtle abnormality.

Chu Zixi's heart suddenly tightened, as if it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand. A wave of nervousness instantly surged into her heart, causing her breathing to become rapid involuntarily.

Then, she carefully moved her slender fingers to the tip of her small nose, held her breath, and concentrated on smelling the scent of the mysterious powder.

"Cousin, I found it!" At the same time, she turned around suddenly and raised her right hand high.

I saw that her white jade-like fingers were stained with some white powder.

She widened her eyes, her gaze flashing with a mixture of excitement and anger. "This is poison powder! Although the amount is not large, it may not be a big deal for adults, but if someone holds a young baby and approaches to admire this seemingly beautiful and harmless orchid, then this trace amount of poison powder is enough to poison the baby! And this orchid in front of me is undoubtedly the perfect medium carefully designed by the poisoner to cover up the existence of the poison powder!"

When Yun Mengsi heard this, his face turned pale instantly.

She looked at the orchid in disbelief, her heart filled with anger and despair.

"This flower was sent by my husband a few days ago. Yes, this morning, I was holding Xiaoyue by the window teasing her. After a while, Xiaoyue... No, it's impossible... This is an orchid sent by my husband!"

Chu Zixi gently raised her hand and slowly placed it on her cousin's shoulder. She patted it a few times with a little force, as if she wanted to convey a sense of peace of mind and comfort to her through this simple action. She said softly, "Cousin, don't be anxious and angry. Listen to me, this orchid itself is not poisonous, but I don't know who actually sprinkled poison powder on it."

Yun Mengsi carefully handed Xiaoyue in her arms to her personal maid Xiaoling.

At this moment, her eyes were as gentle as water, and as peaceful as a gurgling stream in spring.

However, deep in these seemingly gentle and soft eyes, there are traces of sharpness that are not easily noticed.

She opened her red lips and murmured to herself. Although her voice was as soft as the fluttering of a mosquito's wings, the firm determination contained in it could not be ignored by anyone. "My husband once said that he accidentally found such a rare orchid outside. When he saw the flower blooming so luxuriantly and beautifully, his heart was filled with joy and happiness, so he brought it back excitedly and gave it to me.

When I first saw it, I was also deeply attracted by this beautiful flower, and my love for it was beyond words. Then, I personally placed it by the window and took good care of it every day.

It's strange to say that even our little Yue'er seems to have a special liking for this orchid! She is always excited every time she sees it. So, sometimes I would hold the lovely little Yue'er and sit on the small couch by the window, playing with her to my heart's content. But... who could have expected that someone would have such a vicious and cruel heart to plot against us! "

At this point, Yun Mengsi's face suddenly darkened. "Xiao Wen, quickly go gather all the servants in the East Courtyard to the courtyard. I want to interrogate them myself. I want to see who is so bold as to betray me and murder my Xiao Yue'er right under my nose!"

Upon hearing this, Xiaowen immediately took orders and left in a hurry, obviously realizing that the matter was of great importance.

Yun Mengsi's heart was like a turmoil at the moment, fear and anger intertwined, making her breathing become a little rapid. She slowly turned around and her eyes fell on Chu Zixi, who was also solemn and frowning beside her.

The two looked at each other, and in just a moment, they seemed to understand the deep meaning in each other's eyes. Without much words, they already knew each other's thoughts and decisions at this moment.

Then, Yun Mengsi and Chu Zixi walked side by side towards the east courtyard. When they entered the courtyard, they saw many maids and servants gathered there.

Under Xiao Wen's orderly command, these people lined up neatly in several rows. Some of them lowered their heads and said nothing; others looked terrified and stared at each other, seemingly still not recovering from this sudden situation.

It was obvious that everyone was frightened by the unusual scene before them.

Yun Mengsi's eyes swept across every servant present. Her icy gaze was like the cold wind in the cold winter, making people shiver. Her voice was even colder than ice, and she asked without any emotion: "Who has touched this orchid? Come forward!" Her words were like a thunder, exploding in the silent courtyard.

As soon as the voice fell, Xiaowen and Xiaowu were the first to step out of the crowd. Xiaowen held his head high and looked at Yun Mengsi with a firm face; while Xiaoling held the young Xiaoyue tightly in her arms, her face also full of innocence.

You know, Xiaowen and Xiaoling grew up with Yun Mengsi since they were young, and the friendship between the three is very deep, just like sisters. They come in and out every day to serve, and are the most likely to come into contact with orchids.

Next, the kind and amiable nurse took the lead, followed by the second-class maids in the yard.

Although their relationship with Yun Mengsi is not as close as Xiaoling and Xiaowen, they are also diligent and serve Yun Mengsi on weekdays.

At this moment, Yun Mengsi's eyes swept across these familiar faces one by one, and a complex and indescribable emotion surged in his heart, a mixture of sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty, all kinds of flavors intertwined together.

She turned her head slightly and looked at Chu Zixi beside her, lowering her voice and saying, "Xi'er, you see, they have been serving me since my mother's family, and later accompanied me to marry into the Chen Mansion. Over the years, they have been loyal to me, so logically, there shouldn't be any problems. But... except for them who can come into the house to serve every day, these maids and women usually serve in the yard."

After hearing this, Chu Zixi frowned slightly, and her beautiful eyes slowly swept over the other people in the yard.

After a moment of silence, she slowly said, "Don't worry, cousin. In my opinion, there may be some unknown secret hidden in this, or someone else may be secretly playing tricks on you."
