"Your Highness, the Taihetang Pharmacy in the north of the city is a big suspect. It is said that the clerk before them was lame, but he suddenly disappeared half a year ago. I asked the boss, and he said he went home to visit his relatives. He suddenly came back a few days ago, but disappeared again a few days later. He hasn't appeared in the past few days."

Zi Han reported to Xiao Mubei, "This is consistent with the time when that person appeared in our military camp, and also consistent with the time when we arrested him this time, so I concluded that Taihe Hall should be this person's lair, and the owner of Taihe Hall is probably a spy of the Nandi people."

Chu Yunxi was listening at the side. Ever since she signed the agreement with Xiao Mubei, Xiao Mubei asked her to listen at the side whenever Zi Han and the others came to report on things, and would ask for her opinion from time to time.

Just like now, Xiao Mubei asked: "Yunxi, what do you think?"

Chu Yunxi asked, "Excuse me, Your Majesty, do you want to take down this stronghold now, or play it safe and try to catch a bigger fish?"

"How to say?"

"Now that Taihetang Pharmacy has appeared in the prince's sight, it should not be able to escape. However, Miss Zihan is visiting secretly this time, and the owner should not know that he has been exposed. So I think the person behind him is very likely to appear there again. Doesn't the prince want to find out who is so persistent in attacking the prince?"

Zi Han said: "Young lady is right, Your Majesty, I was very careful in my investigation this time, the shopkeeper should not have noticed it."

Bai Yu said: "But we still need to find an antidote for the prince."

Chu Yunxi was tossing a small glass ball in her hand and said, "This is simple. We can just lure the tiger away from the mountain."

Baiyu Heimu and Zi Han looked at each other, not knowing what was going on. Chu Yunxi smiled slightly and said, "My Lord, just watch me."

It was a dark night with strong winds, a perfect weather for murder and arson.

It was already past midnight and there was a curfew in the capital, so there was not a single pedestrian on the street.

The Taihetang Pharmacy in the north of the city had also fallen silent. Zi Han had already found out that there were the shopkeeper and his wife and another clerk in the shop. The shopkeeper's name was He Yunsen, a middle-aged man who looked simple and honest. The clerk's name was Mo Yan, which was a very cultured name.

Bai Yu and Chu Yunxi were on the roof of Taihetang Pharmacy. They were both wearing black clothes and covered their faces with black scarves. Zi Han was also beside them, wearing the same clothes. She lowered her voice and said, "The front is the pharmacy, and the backyard is where He Yunsen and his wife and their assistants live. There are herbs drying in the yard, and there is also a kitchen and a woodshed. It's not a big place."

Chu Yunxi also lowered her voice, "The place is not big, but it is full of medicine, so it is difficult to find it, so we have to start from the most likely place. According to my guess, the antidote is most likely hidden in He Yunsen's bedroom, so I need to search the bedroom first."

"I understand." Bai Yu flew away. After a while, a woman holding a child hurriedly ran over from one end of the long street.

Seeing the pharmacy, the woman's eyes lit up and she hurried forward to knock on the door, shouting, "Is anyone there? Open the door."

The long street was silent. The sound made three or four houses nearby light up their lights. Chu Yunxi saw a man hurriedly walk out of He Yunsen's bedroom. He responded while putting on his clothes, "Here I come."

A woman's voice came from the room, "Don't panic, put on your clothes."

He Yunsen responded and went to open the door. After a while, a woman's crying voice was heard, "Doctor, please save my daughter."

"I told you, I'm not a doctor. This is a pharmacy, not a clinic."

"Doctor, I really have no other choice. I have walked all the way and my feet are all bruised, but I still can't find a doctor. You run a pharmacy, so you must know medical skills. Please, save my daughter."

There was a lot of noise in front, and He in the room couldn't stand it anymore, so she got up, put on her clothes and went out.

As soon as she stepped out, Chu Yunxi fell down silently. Zi Han originally wanted to grab her and bring her down, but her hand was a step too slow. She watched her swing the Flying Tiger Claw onto the tree, and then slide down the trunk nimbly, at an astonishingly fast speed.

Zi Han was stunned for a moment, then flew down and listened next to the waiter's room. They had already put some sleeping pills in the room in advance. At this moment, even breathing sounds came from the room, but the person was not awake at all.

Chu Yunxi had already slipped into He Yunsen's bedroom and started searching. The noise from the front hall continued. The woman was pulling He Yunsen and his wife and not letting them leave, buying time for Chu Yunxi.

Chu Yunxi searched the bedside, wardrobe, and bookshelf for a long time but found nothing. She couldn't help feeling a little anxious. This shouldn't be the case. According to the ancient people's thinking, such an important thing must be placed in a very secret place. She calmed down, took two steps back, and observed the room.

This observation really made her discover some clues. The location of the bookshelf did not seem to be in harmony with the entire room, and there was no dust at the corner of the bookshelf, which showed that it was obviously moved frequently.

There is a secret door here.

Chu Yunxi had an idea in mind, so she started looking for the switch of the secret door. Soon she felt a bulge behind the bookshelf. She pulled it hard, and the bookshelf moved away, revealing the secret door at the back.

Chu Yunxi slipped in. The place inside was not big, but it was obviously a place where medicine was made. There were two rows of shelves against the wall with various bottles on them. Chu Yunxi picked up a bottle and smelled it. It was poison.

Looks like I've found the right place.

She quickly picked up each bottle and smelled it. It seemed like this was an innate ability for her. Although she didn't know how to prepare poisons and antidotes, she could tell whether the antidote was effective just by smelling it. So, she had made great contributions in several poisoning cases in the Special Intelligence Medical Bureau before.

It was the same at this moment. She smelled it for a while, and her eyes suddenly lit up. She found it. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, she did not take the bottle away, but poured out the antidote, took out a bottle from the Liyue bracelet to put it in, and then retreated quietly.

Seeing her come out, Zi Han made a gesture to Bai Yu in the dark. Bai Yu used the secret code agreed in advance to inform the woman who was delaying in the front hall, and the operation was over.

Chu Yunxi swiftly climbed onto the roof with the help of the Flying Tiger Claw, and then, with Zi Han's help, they quickly left the scene. Only then did He Yunsen and his wife return to the bedroom cursing.

After coming back, He Yunsen suddenly felt something was wrong. He was startled and hurried into the dark room to check. Seeing that the antidote was still there, he breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that he was too suspicious. He yawned and went back to his room to sleep.

Chu Yunxi and the others returned to Dingbei Palace. In Xiaoyue Residence, Xiao Mubei was leisurely drinking tea. Chu Yunxi frowned as soon as she entered the room. "Didn't I tell you not to stay up late and go to bed on time? Why don't you listen?"
