The Demon Queen of Divine Doctor is not to be trifled with

Chapter 413 Falling Flower Poison

Xichun snorted coldly, "How outrageous! If the Second Madam said this, I would have accepted it. But Miss Jinxiu, isn't it a bit too much for you to say this? Your Madam is your Madam, even if you are a little bit inferior, you are just a slave, and even if I am not of the upper class, I am still a woman who can sleep with the master. We are different from the inside out, and you are not humiliating me by talking to me like this, but the master who loves me wholeheartedly."

"Really?" Jinxiu shook her head. "Mrs. Chun may have misunderstood. There is no such thing as undivided love in this mansion. Besides, since the day you followed the master, you knew why the master took you into his room. Of course, no matter what the reason is, being a concubine is better than being a servant. At least you won't have to serve people like us all day long. But Mrs. Chun must put her mind right. It's okay to say this to the servant today, but if you say it to the new wife in the future, I'm afraid she will be disliked."

Xichun was furious when she heard this. "I would say the same thing in front of anyone! Even if the master has many women, I am still the favored one. He will never forget me when the new wife comes. Besides, I am so young, I will soon get pregnant with the master's child. If I give birth to a boy, everyone in the family will value me more. But the second wife is different. She is old and can't even give birth to a child. What chance does such a person have to turn things around? She may have to abdicate in a few months. After all, it is better to have only one wife in the mansion. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain!"

Jinxiu took a deep breath, still smiling, and did not argue with her whether the second wife would fall out of favor, let alone say that there cannot be two tigers in one mountain. She only talked about the matter of marrying a co-wife.

"We were both slaves in the past, so I am actually happy for you when I see you become the second master's concubine. I thought you were so favored by the second master that even if he was not on good terms with my wife, he would definitely marry you even if he wanted to marry a second wife! I didn't expect it to be an outsider. Alas! In the end, the women in the family are not good enough, and none of them are loved by the master."

She waved her hands, "I won't say anything more to save you from being sad. It's good now. At least you have a concubine, which is better than Aunt Liu. In the future, you can give the Second Master a son. Even if he is just a concubine, at least he will have someone to rely on. These gifts are given by the Second Madam to congratulate you on the name change of your courtyard. But Aunt Chun, I have to remind you that you said you have stepped on the first wife, and you stepped on her. How can the second wife feel happy? You stepped on two with one foot!"

Jinxiu covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed for a while, then lifted the red cloth on the tray, revealing three strings of copper coins underneath.

This is the gift money from the second wife, which does not even add up to one or two taels of silver.

Xichun was so angry that she yelled, "This isn't a gift at all, it's clearly a reward for the servants!"

Unfortunately, Jinxiu had passed away, and she realized that no matter how hard she climbed, even if she became a concubine, she was still a slave in the eyes of the second lady.

Because of the incident in Ta Yu Courtyard, the courtyard of the neighboring Liu family also changed its plaque today and got a new name, "An Ping Courtyard", which means peace and tranquility.

The plaque in Anping Courtyard was quietly hung without disturbing anyone. Even when Ye Jingsheng saw it when the plaque was taken back, he didn't think much of it. Maybe he was happy that Chang Xueqiao was going to come in! In short, he casually grabbed a chain from the jewelry he bought for Chang Xueqiao and asked someone to send it to Liu's room.

Liu didn't react to this, and didn't even take the opportunity to say thank you to him. But when the news reached Xichun's ears, he was so angry that he made a scene again.

The courtyards in the east were bustling with activity, but the courtyards in the west were quiet and peaceful, with no disturbance at all all night.

In Ye Wenyan's room, Ji Duo, Ji Rong and two secret guards from Renwang Mansion arrived.

Ji Duo was the first to report, "Recently, I have been guarding Xichun's yard and have found some news. It seems that Xichun has some leverage over the Second Master and Second Madam. I heard her tell the Second Master that if she can't even be a concubine, then there is no point in living. She will tell the Fourth Miss what she knows, and everyone will be better off."

After hearing this, Zhuier asked, "Did she say what it was?"

Ji Duo shook his head, "No, but it was because of this incident that the Second Master decided to take her as a concubine. The Second House has been very alert these days, not saying a word. I wonder if they know that we are secretly monitoring them."

Ye Wenyan sighed softly, "Just withdraw, no need to keep watching. I told you last time that you don't need to keep watching, but you guys are unwilling to do so. I didn't think much about this matter, if they really have something on their mind, they wouldn't keep mentioning it every few days. Maybe they would have mentioned it at the beginning, but it's been several months since the incident, and we've missed the best opportunity."

Everyone was silent. After a while, Ji Rong said, "There is one more thing. Master, the old lady is giving Jun Tao drugs."

"Huh?" Ye Wenyan was stunned, "Give Jun Tao drugs?"

"Yes." Ji Rong nodded. "The old lady would ask Jun Tao to talk with her every day. They would talk about things from the past, family matters, her parents' family and her husband's family. Or she would say that she would be good to Jun Tao, choose a good husband for her, marry her into a good family, and give her a generous dowry. There was no important information. But when they talked, the old lady would allow Jun Tao to sit with her and drink tea with her. Then, when Jun Tao was not in the room or not paying attention, she would put some powder in Jun Tao's tea bowl. I smelled it carefully and it was a chronic lethal poison. If a person took it continuously, he would get sick within half a month, and die within five days after getting sick."

Ji Rong said as she handed a small paper bag to Ye Wenyan, "This contains the poison that I stole. Master, please be careful when you look at it. Try to hold your breath and don't inhale too much."

Ye Wenyan didn't care whether she inhaled it or not. She was not a mortal, and this kind of mortal poison was of no use to her.

But where did the old lady get the poison? Did she always have it or did she buy it now?

If she did buy it, who bought it for her? Where did she buy it from?

As she opened the paper package, she asked a few questions. Ji Rong shook her head, "I don't know when she got it, and I didn't see her ask anyone to buy it. The first time I saw her take it out, she took it out of her sleeve pocket. Jun Tao has been eating it for three days, and it will take effect in ten days."

"Fallen Flower Poison?" Ye Wenyan turned the powder over with his fingernails, then moved closer to smell it, confirming his judgment again, "It is the Fallen Flower Poison. The poisoned person will initially bleed like a pregnant woman having a miscarriage and have abdominal pain. After that, the whole body will be weak and can only stay in bed. The person will become weaker day by day, and will die in just a few days."

Ji Duo and Ji Rong looked at each other, and Ji Rong asked, "Master also knows this poison?" In fact, what they wanted to ask was: Master also knows about the most strange poisons in the world?

That's right, this flower poison can be called a strange poison. Although it is not as fast and fatal as the red-crowned crane, its strength lies in its insidiousness and viciousness. It can make the poisoned person look like a woman who has a miscarriage, not only will the body bleed, but even the wheat teeth will be torn. Even if the poisoned person is a young girl, she will behave like this if she encounters this poison.

This is why the poisoned person will be branded as unfaithful until his death, so the Fallen Flower Poison is also classified as a strange poison.

Or to be more precise, it should not be called a strange poison, but a sinister poison.

Ye Wenyan nodded, "Medicine and poison are closely related. Since I understand medical theory, I naturally know a thing or two about poisons in the world."

This is nonsense. In fact, she knows neither medicine nor poison. Xuanmai relies on spiritual power and magic, while medicine and poison are the unique skills of the Feng family and the Bai family.

But the same thing goes, when the last head of the Five Hidden Clans came to power, the five girls had a very good relationship, so good that they could learn from each other, and as long as it did not involve family secrets, they could share everything.

She had seen Ah Heng perform surgery, and naturally she had studied poison with Ah Ran. Ah Ran had once told her about the Fallen Flower Poison, including the preparation, identification, and antidote of the poison, which were all memorized in her mind.

But she didn't want to detoxify Jun Tao, at least she would not interfere in this matter before Jun Tao's poison took effect.

There is only one reason why the old lady could do such a thing - Jun Tao knows too much.

A secret is only a secret if it is in the hands of yourself and the dead. If one more person knows it, it is no longer a secret, but a time bomb that may explode at any time.

The old lady obviously understood this, and under the constant stimulation of these days, her spirit was on the verge of collapse, and she was about to collapse. So she was more and more afraid that the secret would be exposed, and she was less and less trusting of the people around her who knew the secret. Jun Tao was her confidant, and confidants were meant to be killed.

"Keep an eye on Fulu Yuan'er, and tell me when the poison takes effect." She handed the poison back and reminded Ji Rong, "Put it back where it was. This will ensure that the old lady won't find out that the poison is missing, and also that she will have enough to drink before the poison takes effect. As for Jun Tao, I will go see her after the poison takes effect."

After a pause, Ye Wenyan asked again: "How is the old lady doing today? Has anyone gone to visit her morning and evening?"

Ji Rong shook her head. "I'm not in a good state today. Miss Five and Aunt Liu from the Second House went to pay their respects, but Jun Tao didn't let them in. She just said that the old lady was still asleep, so they went back. In fact, the old lady was not asleep. She was curled up on the bed, muttering that there was a ghost. She also asked people to go to the mansion to find the old general's things, such as armor and swords. No matter what they found, they should take it all out of the city and throw it away. There must be no things used by the old general left in the mansion..."
