"I......"
Yi Lan looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated.
"What's wrong with you?"
Su Liluo stared intently at Yi Lan, wanting to know what she would say.
She knew that Yi Lan was one of Xiao Churen's men. How could she have appeared at the Su residence out of nowhere? Could it be related to Su Wanshi?
"I...I'm here to give General Su a medical check-up. Last time, General Su and the King of Chu were hunting and he was slightly injured. The King of Chu felt bad about it, so he asked me to come and take a look."
Yi Lan paused deliberately before pretending to hesitate and said.
You're saying my dad is injured?
Upon hearing that Su Zhen was injured, Su Liluo immediately asked with surprise and concern.
How come she didn't hear a thing?
And he was injured while hunting with the King of Chu?
Su Liluo immediately felt uneasy, worried that the King of Chu might have some ulterior motive. She didn't have time to say anything more to Yi Lan and turned to find Su Zhen.
Yi Lan watched Su Liluo's anxious back, a smile playing on her lips, and then slowly followed in her footsteps.
"Father, why didn't you tell me you were injured?"
Su Liluo walked into the hall and looked at Su Zhen with concern, examining him from head to toe to see where he was injured.
Su Zhen, who was talking to Xiao Ye, suddenly heard Su Liluo say this and felt a pang of guilt. He paused for a moment before smiling and saying, "Father is fine now, you don't need to worry."
"You're alright? Where exactly were you hurt? Are you feeling better now?"
Su Liluo still asked with concern, she hadn't forgotten the danger she and Chu Yan encountered while hunting with the Second Princess last time, and she didn't know what Su Zhen had encountered this time.
"General Su, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say it. It's just that the Crown Princess is too clever, so I..."
Just then, Yi Lan, who had been chasing after them, caught up and offered an explanation with a troubled expression.
Her hesitant expression immediately gave the impression that she had been forced to speak by Su Liluo.
So, Su Zhen was initially a little unhappy with what Yi Lan said, but seeing her like this, he no longer felt like blaming her.
"It's alright. I'm really grateful to Physician Yilan. I think I'll be fully recovered soon, so you don't need to worry, Your Highness."
Su Zhen smiled.
"Father, where are you hurt? How did you get hurt?"
Su Liluo was naturally still worried. She knew that Su Zhen probably didn't tell her because he was afraid she would worry too much.
But he didn't know that he didn't trust the King of Chu at all. How could the King of Chu be so kind as to let Yi Lan treat Su Zhen?
"I was only bitten by a poisonous snake, and thanks to the treatment of Physician Yilan, the poison has been almost completely neutralized."
"Let me take another look for you!"
Su Liluo was still worried after hearing this, so she insisted on taking Su Zhen's pulse and checking him.
But as she held it, she was shocked.
Su Zhen actually had poison in his body!
However, this poison was not snake venom, nor was it any particularly potent poison. It only made him feel occasionally uncomfortable, giving him a sense that the poison had not yet been completely eliminated.
This puzzled Su Liluo.
It's just a small amount of poison, so who put it in there?
Why would the King of Chu send Yi Lan over with such a poison?
"What's wrong? Is my poisoning still serious?"
Seeing that Su Liluo remained silent for a long time, Su Zhen asked with some concern.
"Oh, it's nothing. Father, your poison is almost gone, but there are still some other poisons in your body. I don't know who gave it to you. I'm afraid there might be a traitor in this mansion."
Su Liluo spoke without any hesitation.
"What? Someone poisoned me?"
Su Zhen was extremely surprised.
Upon hearing this, Yi Lan's eyebrows twitched slightly, and a look of surprise flashed across her eyes.
I never imagined that the Crown Princess's medical skills were even more amazing than I had thought!
It's true that she added another poison to Su Zhen's body. This poison was colorless and odorless, and there were no warning signs. It just made people feel that the previous poison had not been completely cured.
She did this so that she could stay at the Su residence for a few more days.
This poison was concocted by her own master, and ordinary doctors couldn't detect it at all, yet the Crown Princess recognized it at a glance.
Yi Lan's eyes darted around, and she immediately decided to admit it.
"The Crown Princess is indeed a skilled physician. I did administer the poison, but I did it to fight poison with poison, to force out the Snake King's poison from General Su's body. Now that the Snake King's poison has subsided, there is still a small amount of poison left in his body, which will be resolved slowly."
Yi Lan stood up frankly to explain, knowing full well that hiding it now would be useless.
Because Su Liluo will definitely suspect him.
She admitted it herself, and perhaps she could get a different result.
As expected, Su Liluo had indeed suspected Yi Lan before, but she was slightly surprised to hear her admit it.
She couldn't verify Yi Lan's explanation because the snake venom in Su Zhen's body had long since dissipated, and she didn't know what kind of snake king venom Su Zhen had been poisoned with before.
No one else thought there was anything wrong with Yi Lan's statement, and even Su Liluo only had reservations.
She simply smiled faintly, "I see. Thank you for your hard work, Miss Yilan."
Seeing that Su Liluo didn't doubt her, Yi Lan breathed a slight sigh of relief, knowing that she had made the right bet. She then stole another glance at Su Zhen, knowing that he was now grateful to her.
So she took the opportunity to say, "Everyone says the Crown Princess's medical skills are superb, and now it seems that's true. The medicine I bought from the pharmacy last time I tried it, and I found that it was indeed very effective."
"It was thanks to this medicine that I was able to successfully concoct the antidote for General Su's snake venom. Yilan greatly admires the Crown Princess's medical skills and hopes to learn from her. I wonder if the Crown Princess would grant me the opportunity to exchange medical knowledge with you?"
Medicine!
When Su Liluo heard Yi Lan mention this, she became wary, and her previously dispelled doubts resurfaced.
If Yi Lan really used the spring water from her own space to prepare the antidote, how could Su Zhen still have residual poison in his body?
Why would we need to use the method of fighting poison with poison?
This Yi Lan is truly extraordinary!
Her goal was to get closer to him!
Su Liluo instantly understood Yi Lan's purpose; she and Qin Shuang were indeed heading in the same direction, albeit by different paths.
However, this time Su Liluo did not refuse her. Instead, she planned to turn the tables on Yilan and find out who was behind her.
Therefore, Su Liluo did not refuse immediately, but smiled and said, "Since Miss Yilan saved my father, I will naturally not refuse this request."
"Then I'll be troubling you a lot from now on!"
Yi Lan's eyes brightened slightly; it seemed that she had indeed made the right move.
As long as she can successfully take the first step, gradually become familiar with the Crown Princess, and become friends, then things will naturally be much easier for her in the future.
She wouldn't be like Qin Shuang, who immediately stood opposite the Crown Princess.
