After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

Lord Xu stepped forward to check and saw that the man was still breathing. He quickly looked at Doctor Pang who was sitting beside him and said, "Please help me take a look."

Doctor Pang drank some ginseng tea and rested for a while, and he felt more refreshed.

He stood up and walked to Chunliu, felt her pulse, and immediately took a breath of cold air, "This maid has been poisoned, she can't survive."

"what?!"

Bai Youyou's heart suddenly sank, and her gaze suddenly shot towards Aunt Qiao, who was pursing her lips with a look of shock.

She didn't expect Aunt Qiao to be so cruel and dare to kill people to silence them!

"Spring Willow!"

Aunt Qiao pretended to be sad. She walked to Chunliu's side and looked at her with a worried look on her face. "Didn't they say she caught a cold? How could she be poisoned?"

She looked up at Bai Yanlang and said to herself, "Earlier, Chunliu said she felt dizzy and then had a cough. I thought she had caught a cold and told her to take a good rest, but I didn't know -"

Aunt Qiao covered her mouth and sobbed, "I didn't know she was poisoned."

When she took action today, she did not give Chunliu any chance to survive.

She failed in her job and caused her daughter to suffer this disaster. She would not regret dying a thousand times!

Bai Yanlang also recalled the look on Chunliu's face when he saw her that morning. At that time, he also thought that Chunliu was seriously ill.

However, he was somewhat puzzled. "She is just a maid, who would risk being beheaded to harm her?"

"He must have been instructed to do something bad, and now he's been silenced."

Zhao Qianqian couldn't hold it back and blurted out what was in her mind.

Everyone looked at her when they heard this.

With more than a dozen pairs of eyes staring at her, Zhao Qianqian felt as if she had thorns all over her body. She said dryly, "Could it be that my guess is wrong?"

"You guessed right." Xu Lingyun glanced at Aunt Qiao sharply, raised his chin towards Sun Yuan, and said, "Take me to Chunliu's room."

Bai Youyou also followed Lord Xu to Weiruixuan.

On the way, Xu Lingyun frowned, "Look at that Aunt Qiao, she doesn't seem to be in a hurry, I think she has used some other methods to clear herself of the crime."

"It's too obvious that Chunliu was poisoned. Maybe it wasn't her fault."

Bai Youyou thought this matter was very strange.

Aunt Qiao wouldn't be so stupid as to leave herself such a big handle. Maybe there is another hidden story behind this matter.

Several people quickly walked to Weiruixuan and went straight to Chunliu's room.

The maid's room was simple, with a bed, an old wardrobe and dressing table, and a square table.

There was a food box on the table. Xu Lingyun walked over and opened the box. Inside were three plates of side dishes and a bowl of Tremella soup.

"A maidservant of your aunt also eats so well?"

Bai Youyou looked at the braised meat, two plates of side dishes and Tremella soup on the plate and shook her head, "This is not the maid's meal, it should be Aunt Qiao's."

Lord Xu closed the lid and handed it to Sun Yuan, "Go find Doctor Pang and ask him to check if there is anything fishy in this meal."

"Yes!"

Sun Yuan immediately took the lunch box and went to the Jianjia Courtyard next door.

Xu Lingyun continued to look for clues in the room, and when he saw a brand new men's purse under the pillow, he picked it up.

Bai Youyou looked at the purse and thought of the peddler Xiaoju mentioned. "I heard from the servants that Chunliu should have a lover, a peddler, and they often meet at the back door."

Xu Lingyun took note of it, put the purse away, and continued checking.

There weren't many things in the room, just a few sets of clothes, some cheap rouge and powder, and a few silver jewelry.

"You continue to search."

Xu Lingyun gave his men some instructions and took Bai Youyou to the Jianjia Courtyard next door.

Seeing them coming, Doctor Pang pointed at the Tremella soup in the food box and said, "Someone put a small amount of Yang poison in that Tremella soup."

"Doctor Pang, what is Yang poison?"

Different fields have different meanings. Xu Lingyun only has a superficial understanding of medical skills. It is the first time he has heard of Yang Poison in his life.

"The disease of Yang poison is caused by the evil of Shaoyang Jiamu. In the poisoned person, the Yang fire goes up, the Yangming is stagnant and steaming, and the upper heat is generated. It looks no different from typhoid fever."

Doctor Pang said slowly: "In fact, it only takes seven days for the poison to enter the five internal organs and it is difficult to cure it with medicine."

"So, this Chunliu has been poisoned for many days?"

"It is also."

Doctor Pang nodded, "According to my pulse, this woman has been poisoned for at least half a month. There is not only Yang poison in her body, but also a little Yin poison. The toxin is not much, but it aggravates the Yang poison."

Before Xu Lingyun could ask any questions, Aunt Qiao's body went limp and she collapsed to the ground.

She stared with horror, "I have had a poor appetite these days, so I asked Chunliu to eat all the food from the kitchen. It turns out...it turns out that it was Chunliu who warded off disaster for me!"

"Who wants to harm me?"

Aunt Qiao's eyes were filled with tears and her face was full of panic. She crawled to Bai Yanlang's side, grabbed his sleeves tightly with both hands, and said in a trembling voice, "My husband, someone wants to harm me, someone wants to harm me!"

"Who would harm you?" Lu snorted coldly, "Thank God if you don't harm others."

Zhao Qianqian was a little curious, "Aunt Qiao, you gave all your meals to the maids these days, so what do you eat?"

Could it be that he drank a few sips of northwest wind?

"I have a small kitchen, and my maid will cook some rice porridge for me every day."

Aunt Qiao let go of Bai Yanlang's skirt and wiped her eyes with a handkerchief. "I thought Chunliu just had a cold, so I thought it would be a waste if the food in the big kitchen was thrown away, so I asked her to eat it every time. Lumei also knew about this."

Lumei was standing in the corner. When Aunt Qiao mentioned her name, she walked to the front tremblingly and said, "I just came to Aunt Qiao's side four days ago to serve. Aunt Qiao asked me to deliver the meals brought back from the kitchen to Sister Chunliu every day, saying that Sister Chunliu had caught a cold and was weak. She needed to be nourished."

At that time, she envied Chunliu for having such a good master, and thought that if she served him attentively, she would be able to be valued by her master like Chunliu in the future.

Who would have thought that Chunliu would end up like this.

Bai Yanlang remembered that Chunliu's cheeks were sunken and she looked very ill that day, and a chill ran down his spine.

"I saw Chunliu looked seriously ill a few days ago, so I told her to take a good rest, and then I asked Li He to send Lumei to serve Qiao."

Xu Lingyun frowned, "Did the food box pass through Aunt Qiao's hands, or through the hands of someone else?"

Lumei shook her head. "No. After I brought it from the kitchen, my aunt gave the order and I sent it directly to Sister Chunliu's room."

Bai Youyou listened to what Aunt Qiao and Lumei said, pursed her lips, and lowered her eyes in thought.

If Aunt Qiao had eaten the food in the lunch box, the person who would have died of illness today would have been Aunt Qiao.

Unfortunately, Aunt Qiao didn't eat it, but asked Chunliu to eat it all, and Chunliu was the one who was ordered by Aunt Qiao to poison it.

Is all this just a coincidence?
