Chapter 47 What is the current problem?
When Ye Yunshu heard Xiao Huaijin say that the Inner Court had also completely distanced itself from the matter, the same thought came to her mind.
The more completely you try to distance yourself from something, the more problematic it is...
"Alright, if that's all you came here to ask about, I don't know the answer either."
If I find out anything, I'll have someone tell you.
"You should go back now! I still have things to do here!" Ye Yunshu intended to see the guest out.
Xiao Huaijin was still somewhat skeptical.
"Lord Ye, you really haven't heard anything at all?"
"No! You should go back now! If you're any later, the inner palace gates will be locked!"
Also, tell the Crown Prince to take care of his health recently. He is weak and the heat is intense, so it would be best for him to stay indoors as much as possible!
Also, once you've finished collecting provisions for the northern lands, your mission is over.
Don't come here to see me all the time.
If you need to contact me again, please send someone to let me know in advance.
As Ye Yunshu spoke, she stood up and pushed Xiao Huaijin outside.
Having come all this way but not even getting a cup of tea, Xiao Huaijin had no choice but to leave.
After Xiao Huaijin left, Ye Yunshu took out a copy of the ledger from the bottom of the book.
She knew this was no accident, so she sent someone to find the files that Minister Ye had submitted.
Who knew that when Emperor Xiao Xuan found out, he secretly sent Minister Ye's memorial along with the case file over...
Ye Yunshu had just finished reading the dossier and was now reading the memorial that Minister Ye was presenting to Emperor Xiao Xuan.
She also wanted to find out from these things who had done these things...
After reading through all the files and memorials, Ye Yunshu still couldn't find any flaws.
Fortunately, Xiao Huaijin's words reminded her.
The Inner Court is the most likely place to do these things, but who did them in the Inner Court?
Ye Yunshu's mind was racing.
She went through everything she saw in her mind, mentally rehearsing the events over and over again...
finally……
A poisonous plant like the larkspur!
Ye Yunshu discovered that the key point lay in this poisonous strain.
If Cai Boju hadn't gone hunting for wild game in the back mountains, none of what happened later would have occurred.
Even if they went hunting, those two rabbits will be fine as long as they didn't eat any poisonous plants like delphiniums!
But this thing just happened to appear on the back mountain of the villa!
Were those virus strains planted by someone else beforehand? Impossible! So what if they were planted beforehand? Who can guarantee that Cai Boju would actually go to the back mountain...?
so……
"That person was actually gambling! He didn't even know if what he was doing would succeed?"
He was lucky, and he succeeded.
If you're unlucky, nothing will happen.
Most importantly, everything was done by Cai Boju alone, without involving anyone else.
Ye Yunshu quickly went through all the possible scenarios in her mind several times before finally realizing that something was wrong.
Since it's a gamble, it means that person doesn't have much ability to arrange these things; they just made some plans in a hurry.
If the person planned it in a hurry, it means that he also saw the existence of that poisonous strain by chance and knew that it was poisonous.
The only ones who could meet these requirements were the physician and the female physician who went to survey the back mountain that day!
Ye Yunshu immediately retrieved the case file of Cai Boju's sudden death and found the list of personnel that the Imperial Household Department had arranged to go there that day.
The physician who led the group out was Li Zhangyao, a physician from the Imperial Medical Academy. The two female physicians were named Yinxing and Lianqiao.
She took the two female physician candidates not only to the kitchen, but also to the back mountain...
However, the Imperial Medical Academy's pharmacopoeia did not contain information about those strains.
They mistook those poisonous plants for delphiniums.
Do they really not recognize those virus strains?
Li Zhangyao might not recognize it. She had worked in the Imperial Hospital for many years. If she knew those things, she would have reported it immediately.
The Imperial Medical Academy had a rule that anyone who discovered a new medicinal plant, regardless of whether it was poisonous or not, would have it included in the Imperial Medical Academy's pharmacopoeia as long as it was discovered and reported.
Furthermore, I will be promoted two ranks.
Li Zhangyao had worked in the Imperial Medical Academy for so many years without making any progress, so he couldn't possibly give up this opportunity.
Therefore, the most likely explanation is that one of the two female healers knew that kind of poisonous strain and happened to see it on the back mountain.
Then she planned everything in a very short time...
Why did she do that?
Was it simply a grudge against Cai Boju, or was there another motive?
Thinking of this, Ye Yunshu immediately ordered someone to bring over the books on ginkgo and forsythia.
However, Ye Yunshu changed her mind after calling someone in.
"Bring me all the documents of the candidates for female officials and female physicians in this batch of the Inner Palace."
The subordinates immediately obeyed the order.
Having two people's documents would be too conspicuous, and since nothing has been found yet, Ye Yunshu doesn't want to attract attention...
...
Xiao Huaijin was also in a very bad mood on the way back in the carriage.
He wondered who was behind all of this.
Now, not only is everyone on high alert, but people are also starting to distrust each other.
And what about that guy?
Heh, right now he's probably raising a glass to celebrate with his confidants, and then casually cursing them all as complete idiots...
"Don't make me find out who did it, if I do..."
"Hehe!" Xiao Huaijin secretly vowed that as long as he found out who did it, he would definitely teach that person a lesson.
...
"Achoo! Achoo!" Song Zhimin sneezed twice in a row.
Lianqiao, who was eating snacks nearby, was startled.
"Zhimian, are you alright? Did you catch a cold? I'll ask Pharmacist Li to prescribe some medicine for you." Lian Qiao quickly put down the pastries she was holding.
Song Zhimian waved her hand.
"No! My nose suddenly got itchy, and I sneezed twice."
I felt so much better after that!
"Don't worry about it. It's so hot in summer, how could you possibly catch a cold out of nowhere!" Song Zhimian said with a smile.
Lian Qiao grabbed Song Zhimian's wrist and carefully felt her pulse.
Good, it seems like nothing's wrong, it was probably just a sneeze.
After letting go of Song Zhimin's hand, Lian Qiao moved closer to Song Zhimin again.
"Zhimian, let me tell you, I can also use sleeping pills to make people fall asleep silently."
It will emit an irresistible, alluring fragrance.
The Seven-Step Death Powder, which causes someone to die within seven steps, also has other effects...
"Stop! Why are you telling me all this?" Song Zhimian quickly stopped Lian Qiao from continuing.
If she continued talking, she wouldn't dare to get close to Lian Qiao.
"The more you know me, the more you think about things. Who knows, one day you might suddenly come up with a murderous idea!"
"It will definitely come in handy!" Lian Qiao whispered.
“I…” Song Zhimian opened her mouth.
"I know, the most important thing now is to live well and make sure we live a good life."
Finding a way to kill someone is just a side thing, I understand! Lian Qiao immediately indicated that she understood.
Song Zhimian...
Something seems off!
What does it mean to say that killing was just a side effect?
Forsythia's killing was indeed a side effect, considering how much poison she would use!
Killing someone on your own side will take a lot of effort!
"Why...why do you have so much poison for no reason!" Song Zhimian muttered under her breath.
Speaking of this, Forsythia gets really excited.
“My master once said that medicine that can save lives may also be deadly, and similarly, poison that can kill may sometimes be life-saving.”
He told me I needed to know a little about both medicine and poison!
"Alright! Let's not talk about this anymore!"
"We have more important things to deal with now," Song Zhimian interrupted Lian Qiao.
"What is it?" Lian Qiao immediately perked up.
"Where will we be assigned? Isn't that a big problem?" Song Zhimian looked at Lian Qiao.
Forsythia...
This is indeed a big problem!
