Rong'an Hall

"Master! The princess is back! The princess is back!"

Su Lin, who was looking very sad, was shocked when he heard the servant's shout and stood up suddenly.

"What did you say! Who's back?!"

The servant hurried in and said, "Master, it's the princess! The princess is back!"

A hint of joy flashed across Su Lin and Bai Yi's faces.

"Daddy! Master!"

Su Yue heard a clear voice coming from the door, and they were overjoyed. Just as they were about to take a step, they saw Xiao Heng walking out slowly from behind her.

The smile on Su Lin's lips froze instantly, and Bai Yi's face also turned cold.

"See Prince Regent."

Everyone bowed and paid their respects, and Xiao Heng nodded slightly to signal them to stand up.

As soon as Su Yuejian entered the house, she saw the weak and haggard Old Madam Su lying on the bed in the inner room, and her eyes immediately turned red.

The trembling voice was full of worry, "Grandma..."

Su Yuejian walked quickly to Old Madam Su's bed and looked at her lying quietly on the bed, her face as pale as paper, her eyes closed, her lips bloodless, and her breath weak.

"grandmother..."

Su Yue felt a lump in her nose and almost swallowed it down while enduring the sourness in her throat.

Li Jingzhu, who was standing by, looked at Su Yuejian crying sadly and couldn't help but want to go forward to comfort her, but he had to hold it back.

The young man said in a bright voice, "Princess, there's something strange about Old Madam Su's illness."

Su Yue turned around when she heard the voice and saw Li Jingzhu standing in the inner room. She was slightly stunned when she saw the young man wearing a white crane mask next to him.

She quickly came to her senses and understood the meaning of Ji Ci's words.

He quietly held Madam Su's hand and took her pulse, then his face gradually darkened.

Su Lin looked at Su Yuejian, who buried her head, her shoulders shaking as she cried, her lips slightly parted, "..."

Bai Yi raised his hand to stop him and nodded slightly at him.

Su Lin pursed his lips tightly and said nothing more.

Li Jingzhu looked at Su Yuejian who was crying with her head down, and said distressedly,

"My princess, please accept my condolences. It's too late now. There's nothing you can do about it. Your grief is too great, and it's only your own health that's suffering."

Hearing the words "nothing can be done", Su Lin's eyes turned red and he cried out in sorrow.

Su Yuejian spoke slowly, her voice choked and weak, but her tearful eyes were filled with raging anger.

"Dad, I want to talk to grandma alone."

"Can you all go out please?"

Su Lin looked at Su Yuejian's lonely back and nodded slightly, "Okay."

Then he led everyone out of the room. Su Yuejian caught a glimpse of Xiao Heng still standing in the room. He gently put down the hand of Madam Su, speaking calmly.

"Don't worry, I won't leave or run away."

"But if you push me again, I can't guarantee what I will do."

Su Yuejian turned to look at Xiao Heng, her bright and clear face full of arrogance, her clear amber eyes like glaciers, and her whole body exuded an aura that no one could approach.

"But I can promise you'll never see me again."

Hearing this, Xiao Heng's eyes were cold, with a hint of anger surging in the depths of his dark eyes, and he looked at her steadily.

Su Yuejian looked into his cold eyes without fear.

After a moment, Xiao Heng looked away first, his cold voice unable to tell whether he was happy or angry.

"The King is waiting for you outside."

Su Yuejian glanced into the closed room with a cold look in her eyes.

"Sunny Mountain."

Qingshan appeared in the house in a flash.

Su Yuejian's voice was extremely cold.

"Has she come into contact with anyone from Rong'an Hall during this period?"

Qingshan frowned, knowing that Su Yuejian was asking about the traitor in the Taifu Mansion, and shook his head.

"No, maybe because you're not at home, she's been very quiet these days and hasn't made any moves."

Su Yuejian's eyebrows moved slightly and she lowered her eyelashes.

"Arrest him, don't alert anyone in the mansion, and lock him up in a secluded place."

"Yes." Qingshan lowered his head and accepted the order.

"Also, check all the food and supplies that grandma has eaten recently and who she has come into contact with."

Su Yuejian said coldly,

"Have someone guard the perimeter of Rong'an Hall and don't allow anyone to approach the courtyard."

"Yes."

Su Yuejian turned to look at him, "Including you and Xuanshuang."

Hearing this, Qingshan suddenly looked up and saw Su Yuejian's serious expression. He immediately lowered his head and knelt down to salute.

"I failed to protect the Taifu Mansion. This is my dereliction of duty. Please punish me, Princess."

Su Yuejian's eyebrows and eyes were cold,

"It has nothing to do with you. I have my own considerations. I will strengthen the defenses in the mansion from now on. I will never allow this to happen again!"

"Go down."

Qingshan lowered his head and accepted the order.

After looking at the empty room, Su Yuejian glanced around and walked to the couch in the outer room to pick up a pair of scissors.

She rolled up her sleeves to reveal her fair arms. The sharp scissors cut through her snow-white skin bit by bit, leaving deep blood marks. Bright red blood immediately gushed out and meandered down her arms.

Su Yuejian quickly took out a tea bowl, bit her lips tightly, endured the pain and squeezed the wound, letting the blood drip into it drop by drop.

The bright red blood slowly gathered in the cup, and Su Yuejian's face gradually turned pale, but she had no intention of stopping.

Su Yuejian didn't loosen his grip until the blood almost filled the tea bowl. He pulled out a handkerchief and simply wrapped it around the wound.

Then he picked up the teacup with trembling hands, slowly walked to the bedside, gently helped Old Madam Su up, and carefully fed her all the blood in the bowl.

Standing by the bed, nervously observing Madam Su's reaction.

...

Su Lin from the outer courtyard looked at Li Jingzhu and Ji Ci with a gentle tone.

"I wonder what the Divine Doctor Baihe meant when he told me just now that my mother's illness was strange? Did you find anything unusual?"

Ji Ci restrained his expression and said, "Judging from your pulse, your mother has been poisoned."

Su Lin's eyes trembled suddenly. Poisoned? ! ! !

Bai Yi frowned in shock, "What kind of poison is it?"

Ji Ci pursed his lips and said nothing.

Li Jingzhu said, "According to my guess, it's Crane's Beak Red."

"What?!!! Red Crane Crown!!!"

Su Lin's body trembled slightly and his hands were clenched into fists.

"But this red-crowned crane...isn't it usually toxic when it takes effect quickly and violently..."

Li Jingzhu explained, "That's true, but the toxins in Madam Su's body are accumulated. I think she was exposed to a little bit of toxins every day, and when she reached a sufficient dose, she was no longer able to recover..."

After saying that, Li Jingzhu sighed. Now there was nothing that could be done to save Old Madam Su.

Hearing Li Jingzhu's words, Su Lin stood there in shock, his eyes burning with anger, his elegant face as gloomy as ink.

At this time, Qingshan appeared and conveyed Su Yuejian's words to Su Lin.

Shock flashed in Su Lin's eyes. He didn't know how Su Yuejian realized that Old Madam Su was poisoned.

But right now he was filled with rage and gave orders in a furious voice.

"Xu Fu, follow Qingshan's men and thoroughly investigate the old lady's food and supplies during this period!"

Butler Xu stepped forward to receive the order.

Su Lin looked at Ji Ci, his eyes red.

"Dr. Baihe, you are a great doctor. Please save my mother..."

Ji Ci remained silent.

The poison of Hedinghong has no antidote, and he is powerless to do anything about it.

But she...

Ji Ci raised his eyes and looked at the quiet courtyard in the distance.

He had always thought that being immune to all poisons was just some old man's nonsense...

Then he lowered his eyes to hide the unclear look in them.
