Chapter 1171: Chapter 1167: Catching the Poisoner

Su Yingxue could tell, a mother’s concern for her daughter was clear in her eyes. Even if she favored one child over the other, she would not disregard Wang Yun’s life.

At that moment, Madam Meng immediately went out to investigate.

When there was no one else around, Su Yingxue took out a roll of silver needles and spread them beside Wang Yun.

Wang Yun’s complexion rapidly turned purple-black, as the poisoned blood began to spread toward her heart. Su Yingxue had already inserted a needle into Wang Yun’s chest to control the blood flow. Now, she needed to let out the poisoned blood and have Little Ginseng prepare the medicine for her.

Little Ginseng’s voice rang in her head, a whiny and childlike tone, “Hmph! You only think of me when you need something, yet when you’re showing off your love, you never come to see me! I won’t prepare medicine for you!”

Su Yingxue’s hands moved quickly as she earnestly said, “Stop throwing a tantrum. This poison is extremely potent. It’s only because the dose on the needle prick was small that she didn’t die. If we were any slower by a quarter of an hour, she might not have been saved!”

“Really?” Little Ginseng stopped joking around. When Su Yingxue listed an ingredient, she immediately fetched it, then threw everything into a medicine pot to brew. She even added a bit of spiritual spring water to enhance the medicine’s effectiveness. Her little radish-like legs ran swiftly around the cave, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the medicine was ready.

Su Yingxue took out several herbs and quickly rolled them into small pills with her hands, feeding them into Wang Yun’s mouth, and made her swallow them. Then she pricked Wang Yun’s fingertip to let blood out.

Half an hour later, Wang Yun’s complexion had returned to normal.

Chu Yihan came from the main hall into the room and asked Su Yingxue how she was doing.

Wiping the sweat from her forehead, Su Yingxue said, “It was a good thing we discovered it in time. It was deadly poison, likely administered by the maid who had slipped into the residence amidst the chaos and given her a helping hand. There is a tiny needle mark on her wrist; because the amount was small and the treatment was quick, we were able to save her life.”

Chu Yihan nodded, “You’ve worked hard. I will have someone capture that maid.”

Su Yingxue nodded, but then she seemed to remember something. “Madam has already sent people to investigate. Rather than sending someone to capture the maid, the emperor might consider having her followed to see who’s instructing her.”

“What if the traitor is not an outsider, but an insider?” Chu Yihan reached out and gently flicked away the beads of sweat on her forehead and wiped her cheeks with a handkerchief, intimacy and tenderness in his action.

Su Yingxue’s brows lightly furrowed, “Siblings plotting against each other, that couldn’t be it, could it?”

She thought Wang Ao didn’t seem like a good person, but it wouldn’t go as far as poisoning his own sister, would it?

The first thing Wang Yun saw upon opening her eyes was such a scene: Emperor Chu Yihan’s hand resting on her aunt’s shoulder, wiping away her sweat, and this lady of the palace, who appeared to be quite attached to the emperor, looked at him with such tender eyes when she spoke!

They did not seem like master and servant but more like the couple that her aunt described.

“She’s awake.”

Chu Yihan glanced behind Su Yingxue.

He withdrew his hand from Su Yingxue and turned to walk out.

After all, it was a place where women stayed, and while he could inquire about Su Yingxue’s well-being, it was not appropriate for him to stay too long.

Su Yingxue turned around, saw that Wang Yun was awake, and fed her a bowl of medicine, inquiring if there was still any discomfort in her body.

Wang Yun clutched her chest, “It feels like I’ve been pricked by a lot of needles, it’s quite painful, auntie… was the emperor here just now?”

Perhaps she wasn’t seeing things?

Su Yingxue nodded frankly, “Yes, the emperor was concerned about your condition and came in to ask. This time, you narrowly escaped death.”

“Escaped death?” Wang Yun’s eyes widened in shock suddenly, “Could it be that I was… “
