Beast Taming Mad Concubine: The Useless Young Lady is Back!

Ye Qing'an seemed to be just mentioning it casually, and immediately sat down by the bed: "How are you feeling now? Is there anything else that hurts? If you feel uncomfortable, don't hold it in, you must say it. I don't know if the poison has any other aftereffects. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, we'll go find a doctor to take a look."

Ye Feiran pursed her lips and remained silent.

"Luckily, Doctor Xu was there at the time, otherwise I don't know what I would have done." Ye Qing'an breathed a long sigh of relief: "It's good that you were alright. If something had really happened to you, I don't know how I would have explained it to Mother."

This "mother" is naturally not referring to Liu Xueying.

Ye Feiran's eyebrows twitched, and a hint of emotion finally appeared in his eyes.

Zixiao had already told him what had happened, but he was still just a child, and his face was still pale, clearly showing signs of lingering fear.

Zixiao glanced at the siblings and quickly asked, "Miss, how is it? Have you found the person who poisoned us?"

Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips, but her face remained expressionless. She only frowned and said, "We have almost found the person who poisoned us, but he has not yet revealed the mastermind. I was worried about Fei Ran's health and did not know how much longer the interrogation would take, so I came back first."

Zixiao quickly pressed, "What exactly happened? Who poisoned you? Where was the poison placed?"

“The poison was put in the ice,” Ye Qing’an replied. “I’m afraid the person who poisoned it was targeting Fei Ran. They knew that Fei Ran’s carriage must have ice, and that Fei Ran liked to have ice in his mouth. So the person poisoned the water, froze it, and put it in the carriage.”

"Ah..." Zixiao was also somewhat surprised: "So that's how it is. No wonder when I tested the tea with a silver needle, there was no poison in the tea, but later I found poison. It turns out the poison was in the ice. That person is really cunning..."

Ye Qing'an nodded and sighed softly, "Yes, what a deep scheming mind."

"Father arrested the servant in charge of freezing ice in the ice cellar, but that servant had no grudge against us and may not have even seen Feiran before. How could he suddenly poison Feiran and me? There must be someone behind it. Father probably thought so too, so he ordered someone to take the servant away for severe interrogation."

"But that man's mouth is sealed shut. I'm afraid the mastermind behind this has some kind of leverage over him. Getting him to confess won't be easy."

Seeing that Ye Feiran almost unconsciously tightened her grip on the blanket, Ye Qing'an continued, "That person's scheming is truly remarkable. If Feiran hadn't been unable to withstand the effects of the drug and fainted prematurely, who knows what kind of trouble she would have caused at the banquet."

"Furthermore, Fei Ran is naturally impatient. Even if he gets into a tantrum, many people who know him well would probably just think that he is throwing a tantrum because he is unhappy with something, and would never think that he has been poisoned."

“That was a small banquet at the Prince of Anding’s residence. If we angered the Prince of Anding, he might not pursue the matter too much for Father’s sake. But if that happened, Fei Ran’s reputation would be ruined. And I went with Fei Ran, but I didn’t keep him in check, so I will definitely be implicated.”

Ye Feiran opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything. She just turned her head to look at the inside of the bed and ignored Ye Qing'an.

Ye Qing'an wasn't annoyed at all, and simply tucked the blanket around him: "It's alright. Fortunately, although it was dangerous, nothing serious happened, and you're fine."

"You've been poisoned, and with all this trouble you've caused today, you must be exhausted. You should rest for a while; I won't bother you anymore. And where are your pageboys and servants? What's wrong with them? Don't they know they should stay here to serve their master?"

"Alright, Zixiao, you should stay here and serve me for now. If you need anything, just come to me."

Zi Xiao replied crisply, "Then you should rest well, Second Young Master. I'll stay here and keep watch. If you need anything, just call me."

Hearing a slight noise outside, Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes, walked to the door, and glanced outside.

"It's your mother. She must have heard about what happened and come to visit you, right?"

Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes, her smile widening: "Eh? Why are your page and servants all following behind Mother? Could it be that they weren't here earlier because they went to inform Mother?"

Ye Feiran lay on the bed, listening to Ye Qing'an say this, she just pursed her lips slightly, her feelings were hard to describe.

Liu Xueying's face was also very pale. Her original plan was not like this at all. If everything had gone according to her plan, today's events would have been foolproof. Ye Qing'an and Ye Feiran would certainly not have survived today.

Unexpectedly, this unexpected turn of events completely disrupted her plans.

Liu Xueying saw Ye Qing'an standing at the door and gritted her teeth inwardly: "What are you doing blocking the doorway?"

Ye Qing'an chuckled inwardly. So angry? He must be furious.

"I just visited Feiran. Feiran was a little tired and wanted to rest, so I said I was leaving. I just got here and saw my mother."

Although Liu Xueying was annoyed, she still had to maintain appearances. Upon hearing this, she simply snorted and asked, "How is Feiran?"

"It was discovered in time. A physician from Lanting Pavilion was there and stepped in to detoxify Fei Ran. The physician said that Fei Ran was detoxified in time and was fine. He was unconscious for half an hour and has now woken up. I can see that his complexion has returned to normal, so he should be alright."

Liu Xueying nodded and went straight into the room. Seeing Ye Feiran lying with her back to the door, she sat down on the stool by the bed and softened her voice: "Feiran? Feiran, do you still feel uncomfortable anywhere? If you feel unwell, you can tell your mother."

Having just gone through such an ordeal, Ye Feiran already had someone to suspect when she heard Ye Qing'an and Zi Xiao's words. However, she was still just a child and didn't know how to hide her emotions. Hearing Liu Xueying's voice, her mind was in turmoil, and she didn't know how to face her. She could only mumble and reply, "It's nothing, I'm sleepy, I want to sleep."

Ye Feiran's temperament has never been good, and given the commotion he caused today, Liu Xueying didn't suspect anything and simply said, "Then go to sleep."

Then she stood up and looked at Ye Qing'an: "Didn't you say you took people to find the master to investigate who poisoned him? What are you doing here? Have you found anything?"

"The person who poisoned us has been found, but we are still interrogating the mastermind. I don't know if we've found out yet. I was worried about Feiran, so I came back first."

"Interrogate the mastermind behind this?" Liu Xueying narrowed her eyes. "I'll go to the main courtyard and take a look."

Then he left in a hurry.

Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips. "Just watch, you'll see right how this dirty water gets splashed on you."
