The group's favorite, the blind princess is both a doctor and a poisoner

In the darkness of the woodshed, Su'er was tied tightly to a thick pillar. The rough hemp rope rubbed her wrists so hard that it hurt, leaving red marks.

"Squeak——" the door was opened.

Su Er raised her head and looked at the person who came in by the light of the fire outside the door, unwilling to complain.

"Yuzhu! What gives you the right to arrest me? Don't take advantage of the princess's favor and do whatever you want. Let me go, let..."

Looking at the girl slowly walking out from behind Yuzhu, Su'er's shouting stopped abruptly, and her ferocious face froze, "Princess...Princess..."

"Don't you know why we arrested you?" Su Yuejian said in a cold voice.

Su Er's eyes were flustered for a moment, then she said innocently, "I really don't know..."

Yuzhu interrupted her argument, "You colluded with outsiders and intended to murder the princess!"

Su Er's eyes narrowed, she was shocked for a few seconds, and shook her head, "No... no..."

"No?" Su Yuejian's brows were filled with displeasure. "Then who did you meet through the back door at midnight last night, and what was this?"

Su'er looked at the packet of medicine powder in Yuzhu's hand, her face turned pale instantly, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.

"No, I don't know..." Her voice was trembling, but she tried to appear firm.

"I don't know?" Su Yuejian sneered, "It's better not to know, Yuzhu."

Yuzhu obeyed the order and poured all the powder into the bowl.

Seeing Yuzhu approaching her with the bowl of water, Su'er's pupils dilated slightly, her body trembled violently, and she pursed her lips tightly, wanting to escape immediately, but her whole body was tied to the pillar, making her unable to move at all.

Su Yuejian had no expression on his face as he watched her twisting her body and struggling.

Xuan Shuang pried her mouth open, and just as Yuzhu was about to pour the potion into her mouth, Su'er suddenly shouted, "No, I don't want to die!"

After hearing this, Su Yuejian finally reacted and raised her hand to stop the two of them.

"So this is poison, didn't you know that?" Su Yuejian's voice contained a smile, but there was no smile in those clear eyes.

Su Er's body was covered in cold sweat, her eyes were a little dull, and her lips were trembling slightly, "Yes, it's poison..."

Yuzhu angrily said, "Who asked you to murder the princess? Tell the truth!"

Su Er's voice was weak and choked with sobs, "It's...it's Prince Gong..."

Su Yuejian frowned and narrowed her cold eyes. Prince Gong?

She took a few steps closer and asked, "Do you know what this poison is?"

Su Er trembled with fear, "No..."

Su Yuejian said coldly, "Stop pretending. This poison is called paraquat and it comes from Xihe. Xiao Chengchang can't get it at all. Who sent you?"

"Either way, it's a death sentence. But I have a thousand or ten thousand poisons that are hundreds of times more potent than paraquat. Do you want to try them?"

Su Yuejian suddenly whispered.

Su Er raised her head helplessly, her eyes wide open, tears rolling down her pale face.

She didn't know what poison was more vicious than paraquat, but the pure and charming smile of the girl in front of her made her feel endless fear.

After a moment, he seemed to have lost all his strength and hung his head helplessly. "I said... someone gave me money... and asked me to put drugs in the princess's tonic."

"Every three days, go to the dog hole at the back door to get medicine."

Su Yuejian asked, "Who is the person you are in contact with?"

Su Er shook her head. "I don't know... I've been demoted to the miscellaneous courtyard. Last night was the last time I went to get the medicine. He said that I don't need to give him medicine anymore in the future."

Hearing this, Su Yuejian lowered her eyes.

Counting the days, she had been taking paraquat for more than ten days. This poison would have been ineffective after ten days, but she had been taking it for more than half a month.

Su Yuejian sneered in his heart.

The person behind the scenes is really vicious.

"What else do you know?" She raised her eyes slightly, her expression calm.

"No..." Su Er shook her head, then paused, stunned, "Scar! There's a long scar on the back of that man's right hand."

"When he brought the medicine, I could only see his hand reaching out from the hole. I remember there was a long scar on the back of his right hand, running from his index finger to his wrist. It was ugly, like a centipede."

Su Yuejian's eyebrows moved slightly, and he took a few steps closer to her. Looking at Su'er's eyes widened with anxiety, he fell silent.

Suddenly, I heard a familiar voice coming from outside the door.

"Is Yue'er in there?"

Su Wan asked as she looked at Yin Xin who was guarding the gate of the courtyard.

Yin Xin didn't know why Su Wan suddenly came here, but she didn't know what was going on in the woodshed, so she didn't dare to answer. While she was thinking about her words, the door of the woodshed in the yard was opened.

"Sister Wan."

Su Yuejian came over and asked, "Why are you here, sister?"

"I just went to Wutongju to look for you, and the maids said you were in the backyard. What were you doing in the woodshed so late at night?"

Su Wan looked puzzled.

Su Yuejian smiled and said, "Nothing, I heard that a maid got into trouble, so I came to take a look."

Su Wan glanced at the dark woodshed yard, restrained her expression, and didn't ask any more questions.

The two returned to Wutongju together.

"What does Sister Wan want from me?"

Su Yuejian took the teacup brought by Yuzhu and handed it to Su Wan.

Su Wan nodded and smiled, "I'm going back to Jiangling tomorrow, so I came to say goodbye to you tonight."

"Going back to Jiangling?" Su Yue was stunned. "So suddenly, why are you here for no reason..."

Seeing that she was a little frightened, Su Wan explained in a gentle voice, "The person who was sent to Jiangling to take over the farmhouse sent a message saying that several owners suddenly changed their minds and decided not to sell, so I planned to go there in person."

Su Yuejian seemed to be thinking, "Which manors are important?"

Su Wan lowered her eyes and nodded, her smile somewhat bitter. "Well, those manors are part of the family property left by my parents. They were sold off by Su Shiming and his wife in the early years."

"Now that business in Kyoto is stable, I have enough money. This time I'm back in Jiangling, I want to buy back all the properties I sold a few years ago and stabilize the business in Jiangling."

"I have already spoken to my uncle and the old lady. There is no time to lose. I will set out tomorrow morning."

Su Yuejian nodded, lowered his head and thought for a while.

Jiangling...

Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said, "Hey, Sister Wan, there seems to be a mountain near Jiangling called Chen...Chenxi Mountain, right?"

Su Wan tilted her head in surprise, then nodded, "Yes."

Su Yuejian's bright eyes curved into crescents, and she said, "Sister Wan, since you have enough money, can you buy Chenxi Mountain?"

Although Xiao Fu didn't know why Su Yuejian said that, but thinking that Su Yuejian had never been to Jiangling and didn't know the situation there, she said,

"My Lady, Chenxi Mountain is a barren land, with barren hills and poor soil. Not only is the government unwilling to take it, even the wealthy landlords are unwilling to take it. Buying Chenxi Mountain, don't joke."

Su Wan also nodded to Su Yuejian, indicating that Xiaofu was right.

"Of course it's not a joke!"

Su Yuejian thought for a moment and said, "I had a dream the other day. I dreamed there was a treasure on that mountain!"
