The palace master felt something was wrong as soon as he saw his expression.
Ling Yun said calmly: "I didn't meet him. I just went to the wrong place and entered Xia Houchen's house."
Xiahou Chen, the young master’s name.
"How could we go the wrong way?" the Palace Master asked.
Ling Yun said, "I just got to the door. Manager Chang was called away and told that the city lord was inside. I went in and saw a baby lying on the bed, so I came out."
Palace Master: "And then?"
Ling Yun said: "Then I came back."
The Palace Master asked again: "Didn't you ask others where the City Master went?"
Ling Yunfeng said calmly: "Why should I ask?"
The palace master hesitated to speak.
Several people smelled a strong scent of conspiracy, and they would never believe it if someone said it was not aimed at Baihua Palace.
Su Xiaoxiao said, "It seems that the man has calculated Big Brother's personality and knows that Big Brother doesn't want to see the City Lord. No one means no one, which is exactly what Big Brother wants."
The Palace Master asked suspiciously, "Could it be that this is what Xiahou Jin reminded us of?"
Wei Ting remained silent.
"What are you thinking about?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Wei Ting pondered, "I was wondering, was this Madam Ru's idea alone, or were Tianyu Hall and Qianji Pavilion also involved?"
Su Xiaoxiao asked: "Is there any difference?"
Wei Ting looked at the Pavilion Master's wife who was entertaining the guests: "The Pavilion Master's wife will not allow anyone to cause trouble at her granddaughter's wedding banquet."
At this time, a guard from the City Lord's Mansion came over and said, "Young Palace Master Yun, the City Lord wants you to come over."
The Palace Master glanced at the young couple, then stood up holding Wei Xiaobao in his arms and said, "Let's go and take a look together. Xiaoxiao, you stay here and wait for Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu."
Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "I understand, mother."
The Palace Master took Ling Yun and Wei Ting to the room where the accident happened.
The people from Tianyu Hall and Lou Bufan have all arrived.
Madam Ru hugged the little boy and cried bitterly, while Min Ningwan comforted her daughter with heartache.
Xiahou Qing sat in a chair with a serious expression, listening to the doctor from Qianji Pavilion report on the young master's condition.
Ji Minglou clenched his fists.
Madam Ji frowned and asked, "What happened? Why was he poisoned for no reason? Who was in the room just now?"
Qianji Pavilion is her mother's home, so she cannot escape the blame for what happened.
She wanted to find the murderer as soon as possible more than anyone else.
Wei Ting's eyes swept across everyone's faces: "Mom, Tianyutang is not involved."
Madam Ji was obviously unaware of this.
Ji Minglou looked as if he had guessed something and was a little angry with his sister.
But he didn't show it obviously.
This old fox Lou Bufan is too good at disguising himself, and it is hard to tell whether he is involved or not for a while.
Xie Jinnian was there too.
Wei Ting looked at him deeply.
He was also looking at Wei Ting.
When their eyes met, both of them were very calm and did not dodge at all.
Xiahou Qing asked, "Can you tell what kind of poison he was poisoned with?"
The two then turned their gaze away from each other and looked at the doctor in the room.
The doctor said, "To reply to the city lord, it is Shilixiang."
This is a highly poisonous herb from Qianshan Island, named after its smell which resembles that of the fragrant herb. The poison itself is not rare, but the antidote is extremely hard to come by and is in short supply.
Xiahou Qing immediately asked: "Does your Qianji Pavilion have an antidote?"
Madam Ji immediately suspected: "Could it be the Five Poison Sect who did it?"
Lou Bufan said: "The Five Poison Sect did not receive the invitation and did not come to Qianji Pavilion today. I think the murderer should be among today's guests."
Wei Ting: Is this old man a participant or a remedy afterwards? Xiahou Qing raised his eyes and saw Ling Yun, the Palace Master and Duanmu Yun.
He said, “You guys are coming.”
The palace master entered with his beloved little Fatty and his two sons.
The palace master asked indifferently, "What big deal has happened that requires you to call my son over?"
Min Ningwan said with a suspicious look on her face: "Chen'er has been poisoned. I heard from Cailian that Young Palace Master Yun has entered Chen'er's room."
The Palace Master was surprised and asked, "Oh, so you suspect that my son poisoned the young master? Did anyone see my son poisoning him? If not, you are just slandering me!"
Min Ningwan said with deep hatred for her grandson being poisoned: "Whether it is slander or not, you know it in your heart!"
The Palace Master was not afraid of her: "You said that as if you have already determined that my son poisoned the young master. I want to ask you, if there is no grudge between us, why would my son poison the young master?"
Min Ningwan complained angrily, "No grudges? Ask everyone here, who would believe that? Back then, Yun Xi poisoned my daughter and nearly killed her. I haven't settled the score with you at Baihua Palace yet, but you've turned the tables and blamed my daughter for Yun Xi's death for years! Now you're even killing a two-month-old baby! Your consciences have been eaten by dogs!"
Ling Yun clenched his fingers, and a murderous aura flashed across his face.
Wei Ting grabbed his wrist.
Xiahou Qing asked, "Lin'er, when you came here, did you see anyone suspicious nearby?"
Ling Yun said nothing.
Wei Ting said: "My eldest brother didn't even enter the room."
Cai Lian said, "Nonsense! I saw him go in!"
Wei Ting smiled coldly: "So, you were nearby at the time. If so, why did you leave your young master alone in the room? Are you the suspicious person?"
"I……"
Cai Lian choked.
"City Lord!"
At this time, another guard from the City Lord's Mansion entered the room with a medicine bottle, "I found this in the carriage of the Baihua Palace."
The Palace Master's expression turned cold, and he said to Xia Houqing: "You went to search the carriage of Baihua Palace? This shows your trust in Yun Lin!"
Xiahou Qing hesitated to speak.
The doctor took the medicine bottle and after examining it carefully, he replied, "To answer the city lord, this is Shilixiang!"
Madam Ru hugged the little boy and cried uncontrollably.
Min Ningwan said angrily: "With all the evidence and witnesses, what else can you, Baihua Palace, argue about!" -Backyard .
After listening to the servant's report, the Pavilion Master's wife said calmly, "I understand."
The servant respectfully withdraws.
The Pavilion Master's wife looked at Su Xiaoxiao calmly and said, "The poison was found in your carriage at the Baihua Palace. Your eldest brother cannot escape the charges."
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Madam Pavilion Master, even if we in Baihua Palace want to deal with Ji Wanru again, we will not do it at your granddaughter's wedding banquet."
The Pavilion Master's wife said coldly: "You Baihua Palace are always bold, would you care about this?"
“Before you jump to conclusions, take a look at something.”
Su Xiaoxiao said as she handed a letter to the Pavilion Master's wife.
After reading it, the Pavilion Master's wife frowned and asked, "Who told you to talk nonsense?"
Su Xiaoxiao said calmly: "I am talking nonsense. The Pavilion Master's wife can send someone to the Saint Maiden Temple in Southern Xinjiang to meet with your sister-in-law."
The Pavilion Master's wife frowned and said, "My sister-in-law was locked up because she had leprosy."
Su Xiaoxiao said, "If she had leprosy, she would have been dead long ago after so many years. If the Pavilion Master's wife doesn't believe that she discovered the secret between your husband and Min Ningwan, I have an idea."
I have finally reached this point and the climax is coming.
