"We have tested the prince's blood, but couldn't detect anything with a silver needle. How did the princess do it?" Li Yuanliang was very excited. He really wanted to know the new method of testing for poison.
Su Xingyi frowned.
Feng Jinyu saw Su Xingyi's displeasure and said, "Yuanliang, this is a method the princess came up with herself. It's her unique medical skill. How can we tell others about it?"
Feng Jinyu looked at Su Xingyi again, "Then what kind of poison is this?"
"This poison is colorless and odorless, and its specific name is unknown. Xiaoyu found out through blood tests that it is a chronic poison. Once a person takes it, it won't kill him immediately, but it will damage various internal organs. Over the years, the damage to the internal organs will become more and more serious, and the body will become increasingly weak. In three years at most, the person will die of illness and will not even know that it was caused by poisoning. But this is only for those who don't have any pre-existing illnesses. If they already have a chronic illness, once they take this poison, the old illness will immediately relapse. My brother Jie has been weak since he was a child, with a bad stomach. Eating raw or cold food would cause diarrhea, and it was the princess who cured him."
Li Yuanliang: "No wonder Master Jie suddenly had a stomachache after dining with the prince that day."
"The most important thing now is to quickly find the culprit behind this. Who touched the food on the day that Brother Yu vomited blood?"
"Princess." Zi Yu suddenly spoke up in a panic, "This servant must have the poison in her body."
"Yes! Ziyu also has a chronic problem with diarrhea." Shaoyao took over the conversation and said, "That day, when we were on the way to deliver lunch, Ziyu suddenly had to go to the bathroom."
Xu Mo remembered after hearing this, "Zi Yu, did you try the fish porridge?"
"Yes, I have diarrhea. It's been a few years since I had an attack. But that day..."
"Don't worry, the princess will help you get rid of the toxins." Su Xingyi said, "The most important thing now is to find the person behind this. Who in the kitchen tasted the saltiness that day, and who didn't? Did you notice anything wrong with anyone that day?"
Xie Wanyi: "Ziyu, think carefully. Shaoyao, Baizhi, think about it too."
Zi Yu thought for a moment, "That day, the princess asked me to make fish porridge, and I just focused on it, not paying attention to anyone else. It's always Madam Zhang who tastes the saltiness, and we just help out."
"So, does that mean Mother Zhang was also poisoned?"
"Mrs. Zhang didn't taste the fish porridge that day, so she probably wasn't poisoned."
Li Yuanliang said, "She must have been poisoned for a long time. When she was in Yongcheng, she was responsible for tasting the saltiness. The remaining people are Qinglian, Ahu, Chunjiao, and Zhuyue." Li Yuanliang glanced behind Xie Wanyi, "There are also Shaoyao and Baizhi."
"Princess, it can't be us! We came here together with you, there's no way we could harm the prince!" Shaoyao and Baizhi knelt down hurriedly. "The prince was poisoned in Yongcheng. It can't be us. Please believe us, Prince and Princess."
When Xie Wanyi was given the sterilizing drug, she had suspected that the two of them might have been bribed by someone behind the scenes, but after marrying into the eldest prince's mansion these days, there seemed to be nothing suspicious about them.
Xie Wanyi tilted her head to look at Feng Jinyu and bowed slightly: "Your Highness, those two will not harm you. Your Highness, trust me."
Feng Jinyu would of course believe him, "All of you, get up. I believe you, so the suspect is among Ah Hu, Chun Jiao, Zhu Yue, and Qing Lian."
Xie Wanyi said, "Your Highness, when you were poisoned earlier, I thought someone might be plotting to poison you. First, I arranged for Xu Mo to thoroughly investigate the servants we bought in Yongcheng. So far, we haven't found anyone who had close ties with that girl Luzhi, so I arranged for Xu Mo to secretly investigate the elders in the mansion. Xu Mo, tell your Highness the results of your investigation."
Xu Mo then reported the results of the secret investigation of the four maids, namely, the housekeeper, Mother Zhang, and Qinglian.
"That means they are not suspects either."
Xu Mo said, "No! Now we can only rule out Madam Zhang as a suspect. The housekeeper and four maids were in the kitchen that day, and this person is among them."
Feng Jinyu pressed his eyebrows and said, "Zi Yu, think carefully about what happened in the kitchen that day..."
"Your Highness," Xie Wanyi interrupted softly, "Your health has just improved, so you shouldn't worry too much. I'll investigate the person behind this. I'll tell you once I find them."
"Yes, Brother Yu, the princess and I will help investigate. My brother Jie has been poisoned, and I will not let the person behind it off..."
At this time, a personal guard came in and said, "Princess, Yun Gu from the Queen Mother's side is here and wants you to go to Chaoyang Pavilion."
"My Lord, I'm leaving now. Please take a good rest."
"Go ahead."
"Brother Yu, you're fine now. Go back to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion with the princess this afternoon. I'll come to give you the injection tomorrow at 9:00 PM."
"So soon? Stay at home for two more days." Feng Jinyu was a little reluctant and wanted to keep them for a few more days.
"You need to rest. I will bring the three children to see you tomorrow. Oh, and An Ge'er is in Rongcheng. He will come to see you for a while."
"Prince Shun, you should stay at home for a few more days before returning to the Duke of Huguo's residence." Xu Mo saw that Feng Jinyu was reluctant to leave, so he advised, "The Queen Mother is still at the residence. She must know that the prince has been poisoned by now. The person behind the poisoning has not been found yet, and the Queen Mother will be worried that the person behind the poisoning will strike again."
"Didn't you keep those five people under surveillance?"
"Someone has been sent to keep an eye on them!"
"It's not enough to just keep an eye on them. Go ahead and lock them up first. Be careful not to let the suspects take their own lives."
"yes!"
Feng Jinyu was a little surprised. After not seeing Su Xingyi for many days, he had some of the majesty of a superior.
"Okay, wait until the suspect is apprehended before returning to the Protectorate Mansion?"
Su Xingyi felt a little sorry for his frail body. If it weren't for his many misfortunes, Xiaoyu would never have become his wife.
"The Emperor has summoned us back to the capital. Do you know about this?"
"I only found out last night."
Su Xingyi carried the medicine box and walked to the door. "...I promise you, we'll go back to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion after we find the person behind the poisoning."
After saying that, he strode out of the room and went to Chaoyang Pavilion to pick up Xiao Lingyu and her daughter.
Not long after Su Xingyi left Xiaoyun Pavilion, the doorman came in hurriedly.
"What's the matter? The prince just went to bed." Li Yuanliang stopped him in the yard.
"Duke Xiao, the Protector of the Country, has arrived with his two young sons."
Li Yuanliang rubbed his hands and smoothed his hair, "I'll go pick him up myself."
＊
When Xie Wanyi arrived at Chaoyang Pavilion, she was taken away by the Empress Dowager to be examined by Xiao Lingyu.
Xie Wanyi was feeling uneasy as Xiao Lingyu examined her pulse.
It was possible that she, too, had been poisoned.
She can avoid the sterilizing drugs, but she may not be able to avoid the chronic poisons!
If that's the case, how could she possibly get pregnant?
I hope I'm not poisoned!
"Xiao Yu'er, how is Wanyi? Has her body been harmed by any poison?"
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said to the Empress Dowager, "Sister Wanyi is not poisoned!"
The Empress Dowager and Xie Wanyi both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiao Yu'er, feel Wanyi again to see if she's pregnant."
