Unexpectedly, the mother summoned Su Ruojin first.
"The coldness she developed when she was young can be treated slowly, but the lingering poison of the Soul-Eating Shadow will have to wait until all the medicinal herbs are found and your poison is neutralized together."
"You mean Mother's illness can be cured?" Xiao Yanchu's voice was tinged with excitement.
It was already quite an achievement that Mu Jingshan was able to control his mother's illness. He also said that a cure would be very difficult, and at least he couldn't do it yet.
Su Ruojin is now actually saying that her mother's illness can be cured.
Of the five materials, Xiao Yanchu currently only has one Soul-Stealing Grass; he is still searching for the others.
I have no idea what Heyan soil is, and I have no idea where to find it.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yanchu's initial excitement gradually subsided.
However, having hope is better than having no hope at all.
"Ah Jin, my people are already searching for those medicinal herbs across the Nine Provinces Continent. They will be sent to the capital as soon as they are found."
"Mm." Su Ruojin nodded and didn't say anything more.
After Xiao Bao recovered, she took her grandmother back home and decided to travel around in search of these medicinal herbs.
She understands medicine, so it will be much easier for her to find someone than for Xiao Yanchu.
She always keeps her promises; that's her principle.
"Your Highness, Hongshan has confessed. She said that Cuiping told her to bury the things under the tree in Yunwu Courtyard."
At this moment, Hu Qing entered the room to report on the interrogation.
They were all ordinary servants in the Prince's mansion, how could they withstand the interrogation methods of the guards? Just seeing those instruments of torture was enough to frighten them.
Before the torture could even begin, a maid named Hongshan confessed.
"Bring the man here; I will interrogate him personally."
Su Ruojin glanced at Xiao Yanchu and, in front of her, personally interrogated him, demanding an explanation from him.
This way, he can show his attitude to everyone in the mansion.
With this matter settled, presumably no one in the entire Regent's Palace will dare to look down on her anymore.
Even without Xiao Yanchu's intervention, Su Ruojin could protect herself within the Prince's residence, but the occasional feeling of someone standing up for her...
It seems pretty good.
Before long, Hongshan, Cuiping, and Granny Li were all taken to Yunwu Courtyard.
"Speak," Xiao Yanchu said calmly, looking at the three people kneeling on the ground, begging for mercy and pleading their innocence.
Hongshan banged her head repeatedly, her forehead already bruised and bleeding.
"Your Highness, spare me! Your Highness, spare me! This doll was given to me by Sister Cuiping. She said I should bury it under the tree in Yunwu Courtyard. She also gave me ten taels of silver, which is still in my pillow."
"This servant is illiterate and had no idea that those were witchcraft dolls. Otherwise, even if you gave me ten thousand lives, I wouldn't have dared to do such a thing! Please, Your Highness, spare my life!"
When Cuiping heard that Hongshan had brought her out, her face turned pale.
She never expected that Su Ruojin was just a doctor, yet the prince would protect her so much.
Upon hearing that her mother had been arrested and interrogated, Cuiping knew that something had changed, and she panicked and immediately wanted to leave the mansion to seek help from Princess Fengxi.
But before she could even leave the manor, she was brought here.
Xiao Yanchu simply looked at Cuiping without saying anything.
With just a calm glance, Cuiping felt as if countless mountains were pressing down on her, making it hard to breathe. She couldn't muster any thoughts of resistance or explanation, and her mind seemed to have lost control of itself, prompting her to beg for mercy.
"Your Highness, spare me! All of this was done by Granny Li, who said it would drive Doctor Su out of the palace."
Granny Li looked at Cuiping with some disbelief.
