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

"Oh my god! What happened?!"

Yuzhu and Yinxin exclaimed.

Su Yuejian stood at the door, looking at the people in the yard. Yan Xu's face was covered with rashes, Wen Zhiling had a swollen bump on his head, and Wu Lu was covered in mud. He put the other clay figure on his back to the ground and then collapsed from exhaustion.

“Daddy!?”

Su Yuejian walked forward, saw the face of the clay figure on the ground clearly, and immediately squatted down to check.

"He's fine, he just fainted." Bai Yi sat down and drank some water, then tilted his head. "Those two are the ones in trouble."

"Ouch, forget about that useless thing on the ground. Xiaoyue, come and take a look at me. I'm itching to death."

Yan Xu scratched at his clothes, his face wrinkled. "I can't let such a handsome face of mine be disfigured!"

Wen Zhiling was also screaming in pain. After confirming that Su Lin was okay, Su Yuejian checked the injuries of the two. When he saw them, his face immediately turned dark.

"Did you go to Mount Chaogiri?"

Su Yuejian looked at Bai Yi, who looked away with a guilty look on his face. "I told them I could go by myself, but they wouldn't listen and insisted on following me..."

"Don't look at me, it's all Brother Su and Old Man Wen." Yan Xu immediately raised his hand to pass the blame.

"I tried to persuade him for a long time but he refused to listen. He insisted on coming with me to see the place where you grew up. We had just reached the mountain and hadn't done anything when he was frightened unconscious by a swarm of snakes... Wu Lu carried him all the way and was exhausted."

Following Yan Xu's gaze, Su Yuejian glanced at Su Lin, who lay unconscious on the ground. The corner of her mouth twitched. Daddy is indeed delicate...

Then he pointed at Wen Zhiling, who was stung and had swollen eyes. "And him, too. He was so curious. I told him not to touch anything, but he ended up attracting a swarm of bees. He's old and can't run very fast, so he ended up getting me into the poisonous weeds..."

Not daring to look Su Yuejian in the eye, Yan Xu's voice became lower and lower.

Bai Yi looked at Su Yuejian's eyes, straightened his spotless white clothes, looked up and smiled, "Don't worry, Yue girl, your master is very powerful, those little things can't hurt me."

Bai Yi is a good fighter and has the ability to tame animals. In addition, he also has the detoxification and insect repellent that Su Yuejian gave him when he went to Chaowu Mountain to look for the Seven-Star Begonia last time. No matter whether he encounters poisonous creatures in Chaowu Mountain or Xiao Hei, he has a way to avoid them.

"Worried?" Su Yuejian snorted and laughed. "Four thirty-year-old men led a sixty-year-old man to bravely enter the Poison Mountain. You are the only one among the five who knows martial arts. Are they still worried about you?"

Yan Xu, Wen Zhiling, and Wu Lu all shot cold eyes at Bai Yi. They didn't forget that this guy was so fast on his feet that he ran faster than anyone else!

Bai Yi touched his nose awkwardly, chuckled, took the medicine that Yuzhu had found, and applied it to Yan Xu.

Su Yuejian had Su Lin sent back to the courtyard and gave Wen Zhiling acupuncture to remove the bee venom. Bai Yi, who was standing by, did not use any gentle force, causing Yan Xu to cry out in pain. Su Yuejian kept muttering angrily,

"Wild ragweed and seven-mile bees are still considered minor. If you encounter yellow-legged bees, you will never come back alive! Really, you are so old, how can you still get into trouble? Where is Chaowu Mountain? You wouldn't even know the way in the daytime, even with a master leading you..."

Wu Lu cleaned a few scrapes and said, "I heard that Miss Yue's treasure was stolen. The masters wanted to go and collect some herbs to make poison for Miss Yue."

The unfinished words got stuck in his throat. Wu Lu untied the silk cloth around his waist and placed it on the table. He carefully opened it and found more than a dozen herbs with extremely bright colors inside. The roots were well preserved and even had a little wet mud on them.

Su Yuejian was very familiar with these herbs. The more colorful and beautiful the flowers and plants were, the more toxic they were. Her eyes suddenly turned red.

Wu Lu's face, half-dried with mud, grinned, "My injury wasn't in vain. Miss Yue, take a look."

Something seemed to be blocking her throat. Su Yuejian turned away her red eyes and forced herself to stare at the swelling on Wen Zhiling's face. She spoke with a nasal tone.

"What nonsense! What's so precious about them? They're just a few bottles of poison. I don't feel bad about them, and I don't care about them."

"....." Nonsense. When she was a child, she developed a bottle of new poison and wanted to hold it with her while eating and sleeping. Ming Bushi wouldn't even let him touch it, so why did she not want it?

Yan Xu was about to retort when he felt a sudden pain in his hand. He turned around with a gritted teeth. Bai Yi glared at him and said, "Shut up now, girl Yue, you are always tough on the outside but soft on the inside. Can't you see that you can hardly hold back your tears?"

Wen Zhiling was in so much pain that he couldn't open his eyes. He couldn't see Su Yuejian's face, but he could hear her hoarse voice, "You guys are not cats with nine lives. You don't want to live longer at your age."

Yan Xu endured the pain and itch and laughed, "Eat well to live long. Girl Yue, why don't you come over tomorrow and roast a whole lamb?"

"No."

"Why not? I'm already injured like this!" Yan Xu was a little annoyed, sulking in anger, and then he heard Su Yuejian's voice, "You can't eat irritating foods when you're injured. Wait until you're healed before eating."

The three of them cheered. Wen Zhiling didn't know why they were so happy, but he knew that he must look like a hedgehog now.

After a tiring day, everyone returned to their own yards, leaving only Wen Zhiling, who had not yet completely expelled the poison, in Wutongju.

Half an incense stick of time passed before the needles were applied. When Wen Zhiling felt that the pain on his face had mostly dissipated, he felt like he was alive again. He couldn't help but sigh that his junior sister's acupuncture skills were really superb!

Su Yuejian smiled and said, "Master Wen, Junior Sister has something to ask Senior Brother."

Wen Zhiling opened his eyes,?

Su Yuejian told him that she had examined the Queen Mother today and found that she was in a state of emaciated condition, but she concealed the fact that the Queen Mother was infected with a soul-stealing poison.

Wen Zhiling frowned and sighed, "The Empress Dowager has been treating her headache for years at the Imperial Hospital, but there has been no improvement. I never thought it would get to this point."

"Zhu Qiu said that the Queen Mother caught a cold after giving birth to the Queen Regent. I heard that the late Emperor and the Queen Mother were deeply in love. How could such a mistake happen in the Queen Mother's palace?"

"That's not clear. The Empress Dowager was cared for by Lin Yizheng, a gynecologist from the Imperial Hospital, from her pregnancy to her delivery."

"As the head of the academy, you didn't even take the Empress Dowager's pulse back then?"

Wen Zhiling shook his head, opened and closed his lips, and spoke after a moment of silence.

"When the Empress Dowager was pregnant, the late Emperor was unwell. The Imperial Hospital should have given priority to His Majesty's health. I was only caring for the late Emperor at the time. As for the Empress Dowager, I think she placed special trust in Lin Yizheng and did not allow anyone else to see her during her pregnancy except Imperial Physician Lin."

Thinking back to what the Queen Mother said today, Su Yuejian's eyebrows moved slightly, "Did the Regent kill the late Emperor?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Zhiling's face suddenly changed. "That's sheer nonsense! When the Regent was born, the late Emperor was in good health. How could he have died from an unlucky fate? Even the name 'Heng' in your name was chosen by the late Emperor. Who could have said such a treasonous thing..."

His chest heaved, and he was so angry that he wanted to get up and leave. Suddenly, his brows furrowed, and he tried again uncertainly, but his body could not move.

He suddenly turned his head to look at Su Yuejian, who looked apologetic, "Brother, I'm sorry."

Su Yuejian could see that he was hiding something, and the royal secrets could not be revealed.

"Brother, have you ever heard of soul-stealing?"

She took out a porcelain bottle from the medicine box beside her. Wen Zhiling's eyes flickered. Of course he knew what soul-stealing was! !

"I know it's hard to disobey the emperor's orders, but no one can stop me from knowing what I want to know. I have no choice but to resort to this desperate measure. Since you've been poisoned, what you said naturally doesn't count as disobeying the emperor's orders. This is a win-win situation."

Just as the powder was about to be poured into the candle flame, Wen Zhiling stopped it and said, "No, no, no! I say!"

She paused her hand movements and raised her eyelids to look at him. Wen Zhiling was so angry that he was puffing his beard and glaring. He was so old, how could he withstand the soul-stealing torture? Calling him "senior brother" respectfully did not stop her from really taking action!

"I say!" Wen Zhiling compromised.
