"It's okay, it's okay. Hurry up and wash your hands. After you wash, can you tell me about the prince's condition?"

Ling Yuan washed her hands with the water Ning Shuyuan brought over.

After Ning Shuyuan brought the basin over, she also kindly handed over a handkerchief. Such a disregard for one's status made Ling Yuan very surprised, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little fond of her.

Pulling Ning Shuyuan out of the inner room, the air suddenly became much fresher. Ling Yuan knew it was useless to hide it, so she immediately told her everything about the diagnosis she had just made.

After hearing Ling Yuan's words, Ning Shuyuan was stunned for a quarter of an hour before looking at her with a pale face.

"Why, is it so serious? Or, is it still poison? Oh my God, when did the prince get poisoned?"

Ling Yuan frowned and pondered for a moment, then looked at Ning Shuyuan and said, "Sister Wang, according to my deduction, this poison has been lurking in the body for at least fifteen years."

Ning Shuyuan's pupils suddenly shrank, and she stood up suddenly, "What did you say? Fifteen years? Fifteen years? How is this possible?"

But soon, her tears could no longer bear the huge pressure and fell down.

Seeing this scene, Ling Yuan's eyes couldn't help but become wet.

"It is indeed more than fifteen years, absolutely impossible to be less than that. This poison comes from the Western Regions. I need to analyze it bit by bit."

Before Ling Yuan finished her words, Ning Shuyuan had already opened her red and swollen eyes anxiously and grabbed her hand.

"Sister-in-law, tell me, are you sure about the prince's illness? How long does our prince have left to live?"

Ling Yuan made a rough estimate: "Based on the current situation, I am 40% sure. If the composition of the poison can be analyzed, it can be increased to 80%."

"Really, really?" Ning Shuyuan widened her eyes excitedly. In her opinion, even if there was only a 1% chance, she would try her best to the end. What's more, the hope was only 40% to 80%. As a wife, she would certainly support Ling Yuan with all her strength.

While thinking, she held her hand tightly and stared at her.

"Sister-in-law, from now on, you will live in my courtyard. No one and nothing can stop you. Don't worry, if you need anything, just tell me. My responsibility is to push away all those external factors and not let anyone disturb you. Sister-in-law, I will, I will, please, leave my master's life to you!"

Ning Shuyuan was so sad that she knelt down with a look of gratitude on her face. Ling Yuan would never allow her to do that and pulled her up forcefully.

Ning Shuyuan couldn't hold back any longer and started crying on Ling Yuan's shoulder.

The voice was sad and heartbreaking, and it made the listeners feel an inexplicable sense of depression.

That night, Ling Yuan discussed with Wei Jie and decided to temporarily live in Prince Rong's mansion.

After Wei Jie confirmed that Du Yin was not in immediate danger of life, he agreed.

It can be seen that in Wei Jie's heart, the life of this royal elder brother is not as valuable as the life of Du Yin.

As for why she was allowed to stay, it was probably because of the Queen Mother’s life-saving grace.

Perhaps it was because of the fifteen years she mentioned that Ning Shuyuan had a plan. The next morning, the entire Liwuyuan was guarded by at least three or four more layers of defense than the day before.

It was not until Prince Rong's condition was temporarily stabilized that Ning Shuyuan found time to write to her two sons.

With such a big thing happening, I'm afraid her two sons should come back, right?

Otherwise, if these illegitimate sons were kept in the palace, wouldn't there be chaos?

However, these were not what she cared about. In her opinion, she was more curious about who poisoned him.

Prince Rong Wei Ziheng is 43 years old this year and is the only legitimate son of the current Queen Mother.

Even though he is now middle-aged, he still has the majestic and elegant image of his youth.

Even though he was lying on the bed like this, apart from his pale face, the princess had kept him exceptionally clean.

There is no sign of being terminally ill at all, and one cannot help but feel awe at the sight of it.

But how could such a person be poisoned by the Gu from the Western Regions?

As far as she knew, the Western Regions rarely set foot in the Four Continents and had always kept an absolute distance from them.

Because their country was too small, in addition to paying tribute to a certain number of beauties, cattle, sheep, horses, etc. to the four countries every year, they also had to pay tribute to the Dragon Empire with more benefits.

Of course, countless gold, silver and jewelry are also indispensable, in order to survive in the cracks under the current circumstances.

But, how could Prince Rong induce the poison for no reason?

Also, where did he come back from yesterday?

What happened on the way? Who did you come into contact with?

What happened fifteen years ago?

These things should all have traces to follow. If she doesn't figure it out, how can she find the cause?

However, if I ask this question, I am afraid it will involve the secrets of the royal family...

Although she was not opposed to contact, she never thought that she would be formally integrated into the Wei family in this way.

Especially the relationship between Wei Jie and Wei Ziheng didn't seem as good as she imagined.

What should I do?

But since Wei Jie agreed to let her come, it proves that he advocated that she save people.

In this case, shall we stabilize his condition first before we talk about other things?

Although Prince Rong had been poisoned for a long time, for safety reasons, Ling Yuan still diligently checked Prince Rong's courtyard and the princess' courtyard thoroughly. As expected, nothing was found.

On the contrary, this move made the princess feel like she was facing a great enemy. Except for the people she trusted, she drove out all the others.

Because the root cause has not been found, the analysis given by the space system is only one-sided. Therefore, the only thing Ling Yuan can do now is to use silver needles to control Wei Ziheng's Gu.

In this way, for at least half of the twelve hours in a day, his body was covered with silver needles.

But this is not a solution after all.

That night, Ling Yuan found Prince Rong's wife, wanting to know all the abnormal things that had happened to Prince Rong over the years, even the night when the accident happened.

After hearing this, Ning Shuyuan was silent for about a quarter of an hour before she spoke to Ling Yuan with a hint of apology.

"Sister-in-law, it's not that I don't trust you, but this matter involves so many people, and if you knew about it, it would really be of no benefit to you. So, to be cautious, I need to consult my two sons. I wonder if you can accept this?"

After hearing this, Ling Yuan nodded naturally: "What the Wang's wife said is very true. If Ling Yuan had no choice, she would not have the intention to pry into the matter. It's just that the prince's poison is really too strange..."

Before Ling Yuan finished her words, Ning Shuyuan interrupted her, "Sister-in-law, you don't need to blame yourself. We know who you and King Feng are, and we have never been on guard against you. It's just that this matter, alas, I can't explain it in a few words."

"In short, we are the ones who should blame ourselves. You are right. As a doctor, this is a process of your diagnosis. In fact, I have been planning to tell you something these two days. It is not because of the sudden attack of the prince's poison that I have to be cautious. Don't worry, give me two more days. I will give you an explanation within two days."

The letters from Wei Li and Wei Ye should arrive within two days, right?

Ling Yuan nodded, "In that case, I'll trouble you, Mrs. Wang."

In this case, she will first use her own method to suppress Prince Rong's poison and guard against its spread. To do this, she still needs.

"Mrs. Wang, I still need you to help me prepare some materials..."

Even though Ning Shuyuan had already sent a letter to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor saying that Prince Rong's illness had been brought under control, how could the Empress Dowager, who was concerned about her son, not come?

Especially since so many imperial doctors had come before, how could the empress dowager not know?

They immediately rushed to the palace as soon as possible.

Wei Jie left Prince Rong's Mansion and was about to go back to Prince Feng's Mansion. However, when passing by Shangguan Mansion, he suddenly thought of something. When he was about to tighten the reins and dismount, he suddenly remembered Shangguan Qingxi's identity, and his movements suddenly froze.

Looking at the sky, he estimated that it would be dawn in less than an hour. Thinking of this, he jumped off the horse and threw the reins to Qingchen.

"You guys go back first, I have something to do."

Just as the carriage from Prince Feng's Palace left, Wei Jie lifted the corner of his black robe and turned into a gust of wind and disappeared over the high walls of Shangguan Mansion.

The secret guards guarding Qing Pavilion are obviously much more powerful than those in other places in the Shangguan Mansion, but for a strong man like Wei Jie, these are nothing. Even though Mr. Wei still has internal injuries, it is easy for him to enter and exit Qing Pavilion.

Shangguan Qingxi only felt Wei Jie's presence after he entered her room. Because someone had reported to her earlier what happened in Prince Rong's Mansion, she was not surprised at all when Wei Jie came here.

"How is Wei Ziheng doing?"

Wei Jie leisurely sat down at the Eight Immortals Table in the outer room, poured himself a cup of tea, moistened his throat, and then raised his head to look at the woman who came out from the darkness. No matter how he looked, he could not find the woman who looked like his mother.

"With Ling Yuan here, she won't die for now. But... speaking of poison, that should be something you're good at, right?"

Shangguan Qingxi raised her eyebrows in surprise, "You mean, Wei Ziheng was poisoned by a Gu, not a poison?"

Wei Jie nodded slightly, "This is Ling Yuan's conclusion. Moreover, this Gu has been buried in his body for fifteen years. Do you think this has anything to do with that person?"

Throughout Wei Ziheng's life, he had never had a quarrel with anyone, and he always acted like a generous and kind peacemaker no matter who he treated.

For a person like this, he couldn't think of who he would have a grudge against, and who would have a grudge against him.

Then, the only suspect is...

"Fifteen-year-old Gu?"

Shangguan Qingxi couldn't hide the shock in her eyes, "What kind of Gu is it?"

Wei Jie shook his head. "When I left, it wasn't there yet. Ling Yuan said it was complicated and needed further confirmation before a conclusion could be drawn."

"So you came here because you want me to go?"

Wei Jie rubbed his chin and thought for a while, "Prince Rong's Mansion... cannot be destroyed now. Moreover, Wei Li and I have an agreement that I have the responsibility to protect Prince Rong's Mansion while he is away from Beijing, and,"

"And what?"

Shangguan Qingxi sat opposite him carelessly, letting her black hair fall. As she lowered her head, she did not notice that Wei Jie's eyes suddenly darkened.

"Moreover, according to my investigation, the power that Wei Yi left behind has been taken over by Wei Li."

Wei Jie's voice, neither too high nor too low, neither too fast nor too slow, immediately made Shangguan Qingxi's body stiffen suddenly. When she looked at him, he was staring at her with his eyes slightly narrowed.

Shangguan Qingxi felt a little uncomfortable with his sharp gaze and tried to avoid it, but then she remembered that she was no longer Du Yunge in this life, so why should she be afraid of that man's name?

Thinking of this, she supported herself on the table with both hands, slowly stood up, and stared down at Wei Jie: "What do you mean by this?"

Wei Jie raised his eyebrows slightly: "Nothing, just the literal meaning. I know that you have always had an indescribable feeling for the Third Uncle, especially since he died because of you. Don't you wonder why his power was transferred to Wei Li?"

Shangguan Qingxi shook her body slightly, staring at Wei Jie with her eyes as clear and bright as the moonlight, and her hands subconsciously clasped the tabletop tightly: "Lan'er, just say whatever you want to say. Is it really okay to make fun of your mother like this?"

Wei Jie smiled lightly, his lips slightly curved: "As far as I know, Wei Li has been doing things to oppose Wei Yuchen over the years, and this Wei Li is not that Wei Li. Sixteen years old is just the beginning of a reincarnation, what do you think?"

Shangguan Qingxi suddenly lowered her head, staring at him with a sharp gaze: "What do you mean...?"

Wei Jie spoke softly, his deep and mellow voice a little hoarse.

"I am just guessing, and I cannot take it as a foregone conclusion. However, you should also know that although Wei Yi died for you, it does not mean that he is a coward. On the contrary, his strength before was no less than Wei Yuchen's, but these powers disappeared immediately after his death."

"Even if Wei Yuchen used the power of the royal hidden guards, he was unable to tap into Wei Yi's power. What does this mean? It means that Wei Yi had already made arrangements before his death in order to guard against Wei Yuchen."

"You said, why did this power that even Wei Yuchen couldn't use end up in the hands of Wei Li?"

"But Wei Li, I, I have never connected him with him. Even if you tell me now, I can't connect that playboy with Wei Yi. Lan'er, this, this is more than a thousand miles apart."

Wei Jie looked at her with a hint of mockery in his eyes, "You don't think that you must be the same in this life as you were in your previous life, do you? What about you? Can you still find the slightest trace of Du Yunge in your current personality? If you are like this, how can it be impossible for him?"

"But, but I still don't believe it. How could he be reborn? How is it possible?"

"You and I have both been reborn, what is impossible?"

"Are you so sure?"

Wei Jie shook the teacup in his hand nonchalantly and said lightly: "No, I'm just a little curious about him. At first, I didn't pay attention to him. I don't know since when, Wei Li's name kept appearing in the mouths of my men. Over time, I developed a strong interest in this kid."

"But he was as slippery as a loach. I couldn't find any evidence or even any movements on him. It took me nearly five years to figure out the power behind him. When I found out that everything he did was to fight against Wei Yuchen, my interest in him grew stronger."

"Unconsciously, we seem to have reached a consensus. His contribution to my being able to marry Ling Yuan cannot be underestimated. As for whether he is the person you are looking for, it is difficult to draw a conclusion for the time being. However, you can take advantage of this opportunity to integrate with him..."

Wei Jie's words made Shangguan Qingxi's mind clear up all of a sudden: "You mean to say that I should take this opportunity to break into Prince Rong's mansion?"

"Wei Ziheng has no other faults except that he has a poor vision and assisted someone he shouldn't have assisted. Especially over the years, although he didn't help me directly, he helped me grow up with the help of the Queen Mother. And it's all his credit that I can go to the battlefield."

"To be honest, he is also my mentor. It would be a pity for such a person to die. Especially, although Wei Li kept scolding him as an old man, he could not hide his respect for him. Since we already have the intention of cooperation and he has helped me before, I naturally cannot watch his father die."

Shangguan Qingxi pursed her lips, her beautiful eyes were deep and dark, as if it was the endless night, with so many worries hidden in them that she felt a little breathless.

Wei Jie did not force her. He just sat there quietly, waiting for her reply.

It was clearly a sultry summer night, but the two were surrounded by endless cold winds. Not surprisingly, all that flashed through their minds were things that happened in their past lives.

When such emotions gradually dominated their brains in this life, Shangguan Qingxi finally came out of her memories. She looked at Wei Jie steadily, with an indescribable complex emotion in her tone.

"With my current identity, I'm afraid it's difficult to..."

"As far as I know, isn't there a ghost doctor in the martial arts world who appears and disappears without a trace?"

Shangguan Qingxi raised her head in surprise, "You mean, let me impersonate you?"

Wei Jie looked at her with a half-smile, "Why not? Is your medical skill not as good as Ling Yuan's?"

Shangguan Qingxi frowned slightly, "Lan'er, everyone has their own expertise. Even medical skills are divided into many categories. There is no end to learning, and there is no comparison. Based on the various rumors before, I am sure that Ling Yuan's medical skills cannot be underestimated. If you invite me over at this time, wouldn't it be..."

"Rescuing people should not be delayed. You don't need to worry too much. Day will soon arrive. You should give me a positive response."

Shangguan Qingxi took a deep breath and looked at Wei Jie in a dry voice: "In this case, why not give it a try?"

After getting a satisfactory answer, Wei Jie stood up and said, "I will wait for you in Room 1 of Zui Xiang Lou in an hour."

"Also, there's no need to dress too much. Just cover up your current appearance. After all, there are many ghost doctors with different appearances circulating in the martial arts world."

Shangguan Qingxi nodded, "Don't worry, I know this."

Thanks to Ling Yuan, Wei Jie naturally took advantage of her and invited Shangguan Qingxi to Prince Rong's mansion as a ghost doctor.

"Sister-in-law Wang, Mr. Feng Chi happens to be in the capital, and Ling Yuan has come specially to invite him over on behalf of brother Wang," he said, not forgetting to give Ling Yuan a warning look.

Ling Yuan felt so aggrieved. You, Wei Jie, are obviously trying to test her!

It would have been fine if he had suspected her before, but damn, he actually found a ghost doctor for her. He must have done this on purpose to make things difficult for her.

In particular, this ghost doctor's disguise skills are quite good. At least to her, it seems incredibly perfect.

As if to match the ghost doctor's bizarre appearance, this 'ghost doctor' deliberately transformed himself into a pale-faced scholar, looking very delicate and without any airs. Facing Ning Shuyuan's excited expression, he showed the unique calmness and composure of a 'ghost doctor', without being arrogant or impatient.
