She wanted to remove Xu Lingqing's supporters one by one. She beckoned to Yun Dong and whispered a few words. Yun Dong understood and said, "This servant will go right away."

Something happened at the mansion

Xuanyuan Ming was bleeding from all seven orifices, suffering from severe poisoning. Xuanyuan Che summoned the imperial physician, but unfortunately, the physician was helpless and hesitated to prescribe the appropriate medicine.

"Damn it! Who is plotting against me?" Xuan Yuanming was both angry and furious.

Xuan Yuanche kept reassuring him, "Don't worry, I won't let you die. I'll send a message to the third brother right away."

Upon hearing about the third brother, Xuan Yuanming's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, slowly relaxed. He gritted his teeth and said, "If I catch him, I'll kill him!"

Night was falling

Xuanyuan Ye finally arrived at the mansion, dismounted at full speed, and went straight into the house. Xuanyuan Che greeted him, saying, "You've come."

"Where's the sixth brother?"

"Inside."

The two brothers walked in through the door.

Xuanyuan Ye was still covered in frost. He strode to the bedside and saw Xuanyuan Ming, who had fallen into a coma. He frowned, sat down, and took Xuanyuan Ming's wrist to check his pulse. His brows furrowed so deeply that they could have knotted together. After a long while, he finally put his hand down.

"How's the sixth one?"

Xuan Yuan Ye's eyes turned completely black: "It's poison!"

Xuan Yuanche gasped; the poison was extremely deadly.

"If you hadn't given him the life-saving pill in time, he would be dead by now." Xuan Yuan Ye asked about Xuan Yuan Ming's daily life these past few days, inquiring if there was anything suspicious.

Xuan Yuanche pondered for a moment, then shook his head and began to talk about Aqin: "This matter was a big blow to Lao Liu. He almost went crazy and hasn't gone anywhere lately."

“That’s strange.” Xuan Yuan Ye stroked his chin. “Judging from the pulse, the poisoning occurred no more than eight hours ago.”

Eight hours?

A familiar figure appeared in Xuan Yuanche's mind.

Then she shook her head. No, it's impossible. How could Qing'er do such a thing to Lao Liu? She cherishes Lao Liu immensely, like a younger brother.

Even if the sixth brother makes a mistake and talks back, it's only a momentary outburst.

"The method of using this poison is also very familiar, and it's different from ordinary poison," Xuan Yuan Ye said.

Xuan Yuanche's eyelids twitched: "How is it different?"

"There's also a poison mixed in, called 'cold water grass,' which is only found in Japan. The method of poisoning is also very clever," Xuan Yuan Ye said to himself.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuanche was completely unsettled.

Could it really be Qing'er?

Seeing Xuan Yuanche's solemn expression, Xuan Yuanye frowned: "Do you know something? Speak up now!"

"In these eight hours, Lao Liu has only seen one person, Xu Lingqing."

"Qing'er?" Xuan Yuan Ye raised his voice, his face full of disbelief, but his expression quickly turned gloomy. He lowered his head and lifted up Xuan Yuan Ming's arms, searching around before finally finding a small needle mark.

"The poison was applied to the silver needles and inserted into two acupoints. It immediately invaded the internal organs, causing the patient to die from organ failure within an hour."

This method was taught to Xu Lingqing by him.

They actually used it on the sixth brother!

“This might be a misunderstanding. Qing’er has deep feelings for Lao Liu and would never poison him. Perhaps someone imitated Qing’er’s methods to frame him,” Xuan Yuanche said.

To this day, they still refuse to believe that Xu Lingqing poisoned them.

Xuanyuan Ye took a deep breath, raised his hand and used a silver needle to pierce Xuanyuan Ming's bloodline to protect his heart meridian. He then took out a pill from his pocket and put it into his lips.

"If the antidote cannot be found within twelve hours, death is certain!" Xuan Yuan Ye said solemnly.

Xuan Yuanche was shocked.
