Seeing that Ye Jintang remained unmoved, Su Xuerou urged, "What, Ye Jintang, don't you want to save your maid anymore?"

Ye Jintang didn't speak, but quietly watched Su Xuerou take out the pills and reached out to take them.

She sensed a malevolent aura within the pill, and even detected a hidden Gu worm.

"Su Xuerou, is this what you used to torture Lühe like this?"

When Ye Jintang asked her question, Su Xuerou snorted coldly, seemingly unwilling to answer.

Only when Ye Jintang approached again did Su Xuerou snort coldly, "So what if it is?"

"Ye Jintang, if you want your maid to live, don't hesitate."

Ye Jintang narrowed his eyes, a murderous glint in them, and said to Su Xuerou, "Such a good thing shouldn't be given to only Lühe."

"What do you mean."

Su Xuerou finally realized something was wrong, only to see her wrist suddenly grabbed by Ye Jintang, her body stiffening and unable to move, and a pill being shoved into her mouth.

The moment she was forced to swallow, Su Xuerou's body regained its movement.

She looked at Ye Jintang with a horrified expression and asked angrily, "Ye Jintang, what did you just give me to eat?"

"Isn't it the pill you gave me?"

Upon hearing this, Su Xuerou felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and kept trying to gag and vomit up the pills she had just taken.

But what you've already ingested isn't so easily expelled.

Before long, the medicine began to take effect, and Su Xuerou was no longer as smug as before. She clutched her stomach, writhing in pain.

"Ye Jintang, how dare you treat me like this!"

"Brother Mu Bai and my father will absolutely not let you get away with this!"

"Then let them come."

Ye Jintang spoke calmly, wanting to see how Jiang Mubai and that Minister Su would not let her go.

At this moment, Green Lotus, who had been unconscious, opened her eyes. She looked around and showed surprise when she saw Ye Jintang.

"Miss... Miss..."

Green Lotus struggled to get up from the ground, and was shocked to see Su Xuerou lying on the ground in great pain, as if something terrible had just happened.

Seeing that Lühe was awake, Ye Jintang knew that her health was no longer a problem.

Let's go.

Ye Jintang said she didn't want to stay in this place for too long.

Green Lotus nodded and followed Ye Jintang out of the courtyard, but not far from the courtyard, a figure stood there.

“Miss, it is His Highness the Regent.”

When Green Lotus saw who it was, she whispered to Ye Jintang.

Ye Jintang gave a soft "hmm." She had sensed someone approaching earlier and knew that Ye Ling had appeared.

Several guards followed behind Ye Ling.

“Your maid doesn’t look too good,” Ye Ling said to Ye Jintang as she stepped forward.

Ye Jintang did not respond, but said to Lühe, "You go outside the alley and wait for me."

"yes."

Green Lotus nodded, and as she set off, Nightingale gave orders to the people she had brought.

The guards followed behind Green Lotus for protection.

Su Xuerou's painful cries could still be heard from inside the courtyard. Ye Lingmei frowned slightly. "Are you letting today's matter go so easily?"

Ye Jintang knew that Ye Ling was referring to Su Xuerou.

She had already whipped Su Xuerou several times, which was enough to heal the injuries on Lühe's body. As for the pills, since Su Xuerou was so pleased with their effects, she should try them out herself.

The ability to add Gu worms, or even malevolent energy, to pills proves that the person possesses some knowledge of esoteric arts in these matters.

It may be related to the assassination attempt on the Empress Dowager in the woods, or even to her father's affairs.

Since Su Xuerou has access to this pill, and now that something has happened, the other party will surely not ignore it. Using this to draw out the person behind it can be a great use.

As for what happened next...

"Let's go back first."

Ye Jintang spoke without giving a clear answer to Ye Ling's question.

Seeing this, Ye Ling met Ye Jintang's gaze. Although she did not speak, he already understood.

Ye Ling responded softly and said to Ye Jintang, "Okay."

Meanwhile, on the other side was the Marquis's residence.

"My lord, madam, Eunuch Wang from the palace has arrived."

Upon hearing the butler's report, Jiang Mubai abruptly stood up, his expression filled with unease.

Madam Jiang, who was talking to Jiang Mubai, was equally shocked. Why would someone come to the palace?

"What exactly is going on with Mu Bai?"

Old Madam Jiang subconsciously looked at Jiang Mubai, wanting to know the reason behind it.

Jiang Mubai did not answer, but instead asked the steward, "Do you know why Eunuch Wang has come?"

"It seems there is some reward for the lady."

"What?"

Hearing this, Jiang Mubai was even more surprised. If it was just a reward, he would be a little more at ease.

You must know that this eunuch Wang is someone close to the emperor. For him to come here personally, it must be no small matter. He must be acting on the emperor's orders.

But what did Ye Jintang do to receive the Emperor's reward?

"A reward for the Ye family?" Old Madam Jiang was equally surprised when she heard this result.

Just as he was about to say something more, Jiang Mubai asked, "Where is Madam?"

"The lady is not currently at the Marquis's residence."

The steward looked worried, and that's why he rushed over to report the matter to the Marquis and the old lady when he couldn't find the person.

"It seems that Ye Jintang has gone to her Huishengtang again."

Jiang Mubai snorted, but since the person coming from the palace was none other than Eunuch Wang, who was by the Emperor's side, and Ye Jintang was not present, he, as a marquis, naturally dared not be negligent.

They hurried over to where Eunuch Wang was and saw several boxes behind him.

"Eunuch Wang."

"Lord Jiang, it's you who's here. Where is the Lady Marquis?"

Faced with Eunuch Wang's inquiry, Jiang Mubai could not reveal that Ye Jintang was not currently in the manor. He could only say, "Eunuch Wang, you are unaware that my wife has been unwell these past few days, so she asked me to come in her place."

Although Eunuch Wang had some doubts about these words, he didn't say anything more, considering that Jiang Mubai was Ye Jintang's husband after all.

"Eunuch Wang, what brings you here today?"

Seeing that Eunuch Wang did not ask any further questions about what had just happened, Jiang Mubai knew that he believed him.

"By imperial decree, the Lady Hou has rendered meritorious service in saving the Empress Dowager, and these gold and silver jewels are a reward for her."

Eunuch Wang pointed to the boxes behind him.

"Lord Jiang, please pass this on to the Lady of the Marquis."

When Jiang Mubai saw the box opened, revealing gold, jewelry, and two chests of silver, he was utterly astonished. He hadn't realized Ye Jintang possessed the ability to heal the Empress Dowager. Why hadn't she revealed this to him?

Although Jiang Mubai was puzzled, the gold and silver clearly solved his current predicament of insufficient funds.

It can be considered that Yip Kam-tong did a good deed.

Jiang Mubai ignored the words Wang Gonggong had passed on and nodded quickly.
