Originally Ling Yuan just wanted to deal with it, but when she felt Shangguan Qingxi's pulse, her brows frowned instantly. Her clear eyes unconsciously looked at the person lying there who seemed unconscious, and her eyes were full of doubt.

No one knows how capable Ling Yuan is. Even Wei Jie doesn't know where her bottom line is.

Perhaps it was because Ling Yuan's expression was too complicated, and the two maids who had been staring at her warily began to feel nervous unconsciously.

After an unknown amount of time, the scholar's wife looked at Ling Yuan nervously, frowning, "Princess, how is my daughter doing?"

Ling Yuan replied calmly, "Madam, please don't worry. Your daughter's condition needs further examination. However, I don't like to be watched when I'm examining her. I hope you will..."

The scholar's wife immediately understood that this was an order to expel them. Although she questioned her again and again, due to her status, she could do nothing even if she was unhappy. She nodded immediately and led her people out.

"You two go down too."

Ling Yuan had already noticed the two maids who looked strange, so she naturally gave orders.

One of the maids was about to say something when An Hui spoke in displeasure: "Why? You don't trust my princess? If that's the case, then why did you invite us to your house?"

"You, my master wants to save someone," the maid wanted to stand up for her master, but was held tightly by the maid next to her. After smiling kindly at Ling Yuan, she dragged her out.

In an instant, the room became quiet. Ling Yuan glanced at An Hui and Annie. The two of them immediately understood what was going on. They wisely left the boudoir and consciously stayed outside.

When everyone had left, Ling Yuan's voice finally rang out.

"Although I don't understand why you would save someone who doesn't need your help, based on what I just learned from taking your pulse, I can't cure your poison. Miss Shangguan is so chivalrous and brave, I'm sure God will bless you. I wish you a speedy recovery. Goodbye!"

After saying this, Ling Yuan took a deep look at the unconscious Shangguan Qingxi, raised a naked sneer at the corner of her lips, opened the door, and left without looking back.

Even Mrs. Shangguan's cries were forgotten.

"What's going on here? What's going on with Qingxi? Please tell me. What does Princess Feng mean?"

Madam Shangguan's complaint immediately drew the echo of the maidservant beside Shangguan Qingxi: "That's right, just now she pretended to know everything and chased us all out. It's only been a short while and she came out with a gloomy face. In my opinion, this Phoenix Princess must know nothing. I don't know what His Royal Highness wants her to do!"

"Zi'e, what are you talking about? You are the one who should be saying these things."

Zi Su glared at Zi E with dissatisfaction, with warnings written all over her eyes.

Zi'e suddenly realized something and her face turned pale. She dared not say another word.

Madam Shangguan twisted her handkerchief in panic: "What should I do? Princess Feng is gone, what should I do about Qingxi's poison? No, I have to go and discuss it with the master."

Madam Shangguan was so concerned that she didn't notice anything unusual about the two maids. As soon as she left, the two maids immediately returned to Qingge.

"Miss." Walking around the screen, they saw the person who should have been unconscious but was now half leaning on the bed, and they bowed hurriedly.

The latter looked at Zi Su with a cold expression: "Are all the people gone?"

Zi Su nodded slightly, and then looked at her master hesitantly, "Miss, did Princess Feng discover anything?"

"No way?" Zi'e looked at Zi Su in surprise, obviously frightened by Zi Su's sudden words.

Even though the person on the bed was extremely sick, the elegance and calmness revealed in his every move were not something that an average person could cultivate.

She raised her dark eyebrows slightly, and between her eyebrows, there was a unique charm of elegance and nobility flowing because of Zi Su's words: "So what if you can see it?"

Shisu was slightly stunned, obviously she didn't expect her master to say that, but after thinking about it carefully, she was still a little uneasy, "But, but she was sent by His Majesty the Phoenix King, if she finds out about your situation, she will sue you,"

"No. Shisu, don't underestimate this Phoenix Princess. She is smarter and more capable than we thought. She can tell what I did to myself just by feeling my pulse. It's not easy!"

Zi'e looked at her usually cold and noble master in disbelief as he suddenly revealed a smile full of interest, and for a moment she wondered if there was something wrong with her eyes.

Shangguan Qingxi was thinking about the words she left behind before she left. The more she thought about it, the more intriguing it seemed to her.

In fact, she didn't know why she was so sure, but she just felt that she would not tell Wei Jie about her situation.

Seeing everything but not saying it out loud, what does this woman mean?

Wei Jie had been waiting for someone in the flower hall of Shangguan Mansion. When he heard that she had finished looking at it, he immediately sent someone to bring her to him.

"What?" He got straight to the point without any further ado.

Ling Yuan looked over, with a look of confusion in her eyes. She really couldn't understand how a man who usually turned a blind eye to women could suddenly care so much about someone. This was not in line with common sense.

Even though that woman 'just happened' to save his life, she always felt that under normal circumstances, even if Shangguan Qingxi saved her, he would not even look at her twice, and even thought that this woman was meddling and had come to him on her own, so what did it have to do with him?

But now...

Although he couldn't be said to be very enthusiastic, he wasn't completely indifferent either. This feeling was really quite weird!

Noticing her distraction, someone narrowed his eyes unhappily: "I am asking you, what is going on? Can you save her?"

Ling Yuan was somewhat upset by his sudden roar. She frowned slightly and said calmly, "I can't save her. Your Majesty, please ask for someone else!"

As he said this, he ignored the person whose face suddenly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, looked in the direction of Shangguan Hao, and said meaningfully,

"Sir Shangguan, although I am helpless, there are always people who are better than you. I believe that good people will be rewarded, and your daughter will be safe."

Shangguan Hao quickly expressed his gratitude to Ling Yuan. Although he was puzzled about what she meant by her words, he did not dare to show it. Ling Yuan did not expect him to understand. In fact, she herself did not know how to express her feelings at the moment. She could only curl her lips lightly and lead An Hui and Annie away indifferently.

As soon as the two of them left, the person sent by Madam Shangguan recounted what had just happened. After hearing this, Wei Jie's eyes suddenly flashed with hesitation: "You mean, the princess examined Miss Shangguan alone, but didn't find anything? She didn't even explain what happened?"

"That's right, Your Majesty. The princess left in such a hurry that my wife couldn't catch up with her."

This was a disguised form of complaint. When Shangguan Hao heard it, he immediately glared at him fiercely.

Fortunately, Wei Jie did not notice this, because what he was thinking was, this person was dismissed, which meant that he had seen it. If he had seen it, why didn't he say it clearly, but just left after saying "it can't be cured"?

What does she mean?

"Your Majesty, look at this..."

I thought the Phoenix Princess had some abilities, but now it seems that she is just so-so. Doesn't the Phoenix King think too highly of her?

It’s no wonder that Shangguan Hao is curious about the relationship between the two. After all, with a face and figure like that, no man would be interested in her, right?

But who would have thought that the Phoenix King not only did not show any disdain towards the Phoenix Princess, but instead... trusted her very much?

"Master Shangguan, please rest assured. Since your daughter's poison was caused by me, I will not ignore it."

After leaving behind these cold words, Wei Jie did not stay any longer, but walked straight out of Shangguan Mansion.

After Wei Jie left, Madam Shangguan walked over to Shangguan Hao and asked worriedly,

"Master, what does this Phoenix King mean? And Phoenix King's wife, you didn't see her attitude just now, this..."

"Madam, since the Phoenix King has said so, he must have made some plans. As a woman, don't worry about these things. Just take good care of your daughter. If things don't work out, I'm still here for you. Would I just watch my daughter die?"

"But didn't the imperial physician say that this poison is too complicated? Can Lingjia Manor, Tianyahaige, Yaowang Valley, or the ghost doctor who suddenly emerged in the past two years have a cure?"

God knows how difficult it is to invite these families. These people usually draw a clear line between themselves and their regime. Even if they want to invite them, they may not be willing to come.

"Madam, don't worry. Ziyan and Zixuan have already gone to find a solution."

Shangguan Ziyan is Shangguan Qingxi's eldest brother, Shangguan Zixuan is the second brother, and they are the only three siblings in the Shangguan family's direct lineage.

Zi Yan is a martial artist, Zi Xuan is a literary artist, and Qing Xi is frail and sickly. He has been locked up in his Qing Pavilion all year round, never leaving the house. Therefore, he is the apple of the eye of the whole family. When such a big thing happened, the two brothers naturally couldn't sit still.

Shangguan Hao was a first-rank academician in the Grand Council, holding a high position of power. Although he was a civil servant, he had absolute say with the emperor.

In addition, the Shangguan family had been veteran figures in Siyou State for several generations, and their status in Siyou State was no less than that of the former military family - the Du family.

It’s just that the Shangguan family has been engaged in literature for generations and never expressed their position. They always put the emperor first. Whoever is the emperor is their emperor.

That is why they have been able to live in peace for so many years. Even if an outlier like Shangguan Ziyan appeared in this generation, it would not affect the outcome.

Because Shangguan Ziyan roamed the world and never took part in the imperial examinations, let alone entered the court, his martial arts were purely a personal hobby and could not be put on display for the sake of the country and the nation.

Whether it is the emperor or the officials, the Shangguan family is definitely an object worth winning over. Even Wei Jie's attitude towards Shangguan Hao can be considered polite.

What's more, it was his daughter who saved him. Just based on this kindness, Wei Jie could not just ignore it.

So Shangguan Hao didn't worry at all that anything might happen to his daughter. Of course, he couldn't say this in front of his wife, because a woman's heart is never as big as a man's.

Compared to the poison in Shangguan Qingxi's body, Shangguan Hao was more concerned about why his daughter appeared there out of nowhere and why she saved Wei Jie by such a coincidence, who didn't need her help at all?

He never thought that this was a coincidence. There were so many coincidences in the world, why did she have to encounter it?

While thinking about it, Shangguan Hao knocked on the door of Qingge with a nervous heart.

Maybe there are some things he needs to have a good talk with his daughter.

As soon as Ling Yuan got into the car, Wei Jie followed. Seeing this, An Hui and Annie immediately retreated.

Although this was not the first time that she and Wei Jie were in the same enclosed space, it was the first time that they coexisted as husband and wife. It was impossible to say that it was not awkward, especially since the man in front of her had such a strong aura that even Ling Yuan, who was mentally strong, felt a little uneasy.

"It seems that the prince is very worried about this Miss Shangguan. What? Don't you believe me? Did you chase me out to ask for clarification?"

Ling Yuan raised her eyebrows with a smile, but Wei Jie just glanced at her calmly: "What did you find?"

Ling Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, and she pretended to be dumbfounded: "What do you mean, Your Majesty? I don't quite understand what you are talking about."

Wei Jie sneered, "How come when it comes to you, you just brush it off with a single word, 'There's no cure', even though any ordinary doctor can diagnose the poison? Li Yuan, what on earth did you see?"

Ling Yuan looked at him irritably: "Li Yuan, Li Yuan, I have changed my last name. It is no longer Li. I just can't solve it. Where do all the whys come from?"

"I know very well how capable you are."

The turbulence in his body had troubled him for many years, but by some chance it was solved by her. She could solve such difficult and complicated diseases, so how could she not be able to solve a mere poison?

Wei Jie forced himself to explain patiently, but there was already a cold light in his slightly narrowed eyes.

"Haha, I really have to thank you for your trust in me, Your Majesty."

Ling Yuan curled her lips in disapproval. Does he understand?

He knows nothing!

It’s not that she looks down on him, but even the brothers around her have a vague understanding of her. Just because she saved him a few times, she thought he understood her?

Haha, I really don’t know where his confidence in her comes from.

She stroked her nails carelessly, without even raising her eyelids: "Your Highness, don't bother yourself. If you don't know, you don't know. Even if you hold a knife to my neck, I will still say the same thing. Please do as you please, Your Highness!"

Wei Jie stared at her for a long time, and the doubt in his eyes gradually settled until it was calm and peaceful, like a pool of still water.

When Ling Yuan looked up again, where was Wei Jie?

She lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked thoughtfully at the nearby Shangguan Mansion, with a hint of loneliness gradually forming in her eyes.

Shangguan Qingxi, who are you?

How did a young lady who was raised in seclusion and was a sickly girl for twelve years actually have such extraordinary medical skills?

She can hide it from others, but not from herself.

Some acupoints and pathological factors cannot be manipulated by other people. Unless one is very familiar with his or her own acupoints and physical conditions, it is impossible to make such subtle changes.

There was also the faint smell of medicine in her room, which smelled complex, but in fact, there were only three herbs that could be used. These three herbs seemed ordinary, but if they were mixed in a certain proportion, they would become exactly the poison that Shangguan Qingxi was poisoned by.

Finally, considering her specially conditioned body, ordinary doctors would not be able to figure out what the poison was.

What she was curious about now was, was this poison administered by those people in purple?

Or maybe she did it to herself in order to win someone's sympathy.

If it was the former, then it was no big deal, she could solve it without any scruples.

But if it is the latter, then it would be a big deal. Not to mention how scheming this woman is, her purpose of getting close to Wei Jie alone is something that cannot be revealed.

The reason why she did not take any action was that she wanted to see what this woman was going to do. She also wanted to see who could help her get rid of the poison and how she would end the situation.

As for Wei Jie, haha, she seemed to have said nothing, but in fact, she said everything. As for whether he could understand it, that was none of her business...

It is true that you cannot judge a person by his appearance. When they first met, Shangguan Qingxi was still a fragile doll that would fall down if blown by the wind. But even so, she bravely stood up in such a dangerous situation. Although she finally completed the task under the protection of Wei Jie, her courage alone was more than that of the men present who only knew how to hide behind.

At that time, she felt that this woman was very unusual, but she never expected that her so-called knowledge of medicine would be such an extraordinary skill. This woman looked about the same age as her, so where did she get these medical skills?

She came here because she traveled through time, and she studied medicine before traveling through time. What about Shangguan Qingxi? What did she rely on?

Is there some master behind her?

Another point that must be mentioned is that her husband seemed to have taken special care of Shangguan Qingxi as early as the Four Nations Festival, and today, Shangguan Qingxi unexpectedly saved him.

She didn't believe that these two people had no connection at all.

***

“Bang!”

After a burst of crackling sounds, the eunuchs in front of the Qiankun Hall shuddered at the same time and shook their heads secretly, thinking that the dinner that had just been served and carefully prepared by the imperial kitchen had once again disappeared, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva with regret.

Is this the first time this has happened today?

Ever since the emperor woke up, he has been in a very bad mood. He watched people go in one after another and walk out with their heads down.

It's been a whole day, and the emperor hasn't had any food, let alone a sip of water.

No one can put out this anger. Listen, even his voice is hoarse, he is still shouting!

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the emperor was unhappy, but how happy were the officials?

Especially those officials who were involved in the Du family massacre have been in fear all day, fearing that this incident would implicate them again.

While they were reflecting on themselves, they also secretly ordered their wives, children and the elderly to be protected as soon as possible.

Little did they know that this action had attracted the attention of those behind the scenes.

Based on the principle of rather killing someone by mistake than letting anyone go, these poor officials who are trying to cover up their crimes, even if they are secretly protected by numerous secret guards, they are not afraid of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Shangshu Mansion, so how can they be afraid of you?

He got in with almost no effort.

After enduring a whole day of bombardment and living in fear, he finally returned home. Before he could even fill his stomach, he was frightened to death by a man in purple who suddenly appeared.

After several rounds of interrogation and secretly collecting evidence, they confirmed that they were only superficially related. These people did not make things too difficult for them. After a serious warning, they mercifully let them go.

For those officials who had almost determined that they were doomed to die, this was a blessing from heaven. Naturally, they could not help but express gratitude profusely, kowtow and express thanks, and of course sign and seal their accounts.

On the contrary, if one was exposed because of his guilty conscience, he would not have a good ending. Although his entire family would not be wiped out like the previous few people, he would never be able to open his eyes again. Even his family members were sent out of the capital overnight. He might not have the chance to appear again in this life.

The news went through many twists and turns, and within just two days, it had spread throughout the world.
