The sickly son died young? After the marriage exchange, I will bring prosperity to his entire clan f

Upon hearing this, Du Mingxian hurriedly reached out and lifted the curtain, only to see Chun Tao standing outside. "Where did you run off to? I thought you hadn't left the palace."

"I'm sorry, Miss. I had an upset stomach and needed to use the restroom, so I was a little slow."

"Come up quickly."

The carriage moved forward, and neither of them spoke. Du Mingxian closed her eyes to rest, her mind racing. She had many ways to kill Chuntao, but what would happen after Chuntao died?

Is she going to follow Death Shield too?

Ling Silang was able to concoct that antidote, and it wouldn't be impossible for him to get rid of the person behind it now, but she couldn't swallow this insult.

But it's too dangerous to keep Chun Tao by my side. She always acts alone, and if something happens, she or the entire Wen family will suffer.

No, we can't keep her. Chun Tao can't stay any longer.

But getting rid of Chuntao requires a catalyst.

Back in her own courtyard, Du Mingxian asked Ke'er to prepare some food for her, and only then did she have time to ask Chun Tao, "What were you doing just now?"

Chuntao didn't say anything.

Du Mingxian really wanted to kill him right now. "I don't care what you do. I'm the one who brought you into the palace. You'd better not do anything in the palace that might implicate me again."

"No."

"No, that's not the best. If you keep doing this, it's better if you don't come out with me next time. I can't handle it."

Chun Tao's eyes flickered slightly, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing in them. "Yes, this servant understands."

For the first time, the two showed their unhappiness. Du Mingxian ignored Chuntao during her meal, even though she knew Chuntao hadn't eaten in the palace, but she didn't want to care.

Before Du Mingxian could go to find Ling Silang that evening, Chuntao came first. Because of the pleasant day, she didn't mince words and gave him orders directly.

"Your master orders you to act quickly and go directly to Lord Wen's study to steal."

"Oh, I know."

What happened? Why are they in such a hurry that they have to resort to stealing? They must be really desperate.

Du Mingxian agreed verbally, but in her heart she was wondering what had happened.

This also meant that she didn't have the chance to visit Ling Silang in prison at night.

So the next morning, she took the food box and went to find Wen Yibin.

Wen Yibin was quite surprised to see Du Mingxian. "I never thought you'd take the initiative to come looking for me. The sun has risen in the west again!"

"Uncle, please don't laugh at me. I need your help with something."

Wen Yibin looked at the food box in her hand and asked, "You... want me to take this food box to Lord Qi in prison?"

"Ah."

"I didn't realize you were so concerned."

"He protected me so much in the main hall, and this punishment was just the emperor giving the envoy some face, it wasn't because he had committed a terrible mistake."

Wen Yibin was somewhat surprised. "You see things very clearly. Alright, don't stay here guarding. You can either leave this food box for me to eat, or you can take it back yourself."

"Uncle, please help me. To save face for his ministers, the Emperor will definitely not allow anyone to visit him openly. I can't get in, but you are from the Dali Temple, so it's easy for you to go in and see a prisoner. Thank you, Uncle."

Wen Yibin couldn't help but roll his eyes. "You should keep the things, but I won't deliver them to the jail because there's no one there."

"No...nobody?"

In a flash, Du Mingxian grasped the key point: "So the person is still in the palace?"

"He should have returned to the Crown Prince's residence, but publicly he is currently in prison, so he won't be going anywhere these days."

Du Mingxian was happy. "Thank you, Uncle."

"You put down the stuff, got the information, and want to leave? How can you expect to leave without paying any interest?"

Du Mingxian generously stuffed the food into his hands, saying, "Thank you, Uncle. You can have these."

Wen Yibin shook his head angrily, muttering, "Sure enough, daughters are hard to keep once they grow up."

Du Mingxian turned around, made a face at him, and then left.

She was happy to be back in the courtyard. With the Emperor keeping Ling Silang locked up like this, he had time to make poison, which was actually a good thing.

Because of what happened at the banquet, the affair between Miss Wen and Lord Qi has been widely discussed outside. Du Mingxian hasn't left the house recently, so she hasn't heard a word about it.

It was only after Aunt Wen came over to deliver the clothes that I mentioned it.

"You don't know that the news has already spread outside, but no one in our household is talking about it. Your father doesn't allow it, so you should just stay put."

Du Mingxian: "..." Even my father doesn't allow the people below to say anything, so why did you come all the way here to tell me these things, Second Aunt?

She didn't take it to heart and stayed at home for two more days before secretly going to find Ling Silang in the middle of the night.

Inside the space, Ling Silang handed her several small bottles. "Each one contains a different poison, and the symptoms when it takes effect are also different. You must be careful when using the medicine."

"Is it impressive? I wonder if Chun Tao can solve it. I want a poison that even Chun Tao can't solve, so that my test will be effective."

"Probably not."
