Madam Su already knew that Xiao Jin had returned, so she went to Xing Yue's place first. She wasn't in a hurry and waited for her daughter in the house.
Now that Xiao Jin has returned from Qingyue Mountain unharmed, he is relieved and has the mind to talk about Lin Zhengshan.
"Those two are still in the side courtyard and haven't woken up yet."
This was somewhat unexpected for Su Ruojin, and it also reminded her of something.
As for why the three members of the Yao family were able to sneak into the General's Mansion, based on Su Ruojin's understanding of them, they probably wouldn't have dared to do so if they didn't have someone behind them.
The most likely candidates are Lin Zhengshan and his wife.
But unexpectedly, they have contracted such a strange illness and even found the General's Mansion.
"Mother, I'll go take a look." After thinking for a moment, Su Ruojin decided to go and see for herself.
"Mother will go with you."
Although the two were unconscious, Madam Su was still worried and wanted to go with her daughter.
Upon arriving at the side courtyard, Lin Zhengshan and Zhao Jiao lay motionless on the bed.
Su Ruojin said to Yan Luo, "Go and take a look."
"Yes, Miss." Yanluo walked over, took their pulses, and frowned slightly.
Yan Luo examined Su Ruojin for a while before walking up to her. "Miss, these two people have some strange symptoms. Please take a look."
Then Yanluo whispered in Su Ruojin's ear, "Miss, I think it's a bit like being cursed."
Possessed by a curse?!
Su Ruojin quickly walked to Lin Zhengshan's side, took his pulse, and then examined his eyelids.
Indeed, as Yan Luo said, it felt like being bewitched.
What kind of curse did Lin Zhengshan and Zhao Jiao suddenly fall for? What benefit would it bring them?
Moreover, this is the capital of the Great Chu Dynasty. Who could possibly cast a spell on them?
Then Su Ruojin took Zhao Jiao's pulse again, her brows furrowed with some doubt.
"Xiao Jin, what's wrong with them?" Madam Su asked.
Su Ruojin left the two and sat down to the side. "The symptoms of these two are very strange. They look very similar on the surface, but in fact, Zhao Jiao is poisoned, while Lin Zhengshan is afflicted by a Gu."
That's strange.
Generally speaking, poisoning is poisoning, and witchcraft is witchcraft. Why are the two different, even though their symptoms look very similar?
There is no such thing as a free lunch. Who did this to them?
What is the purpose?
Could it be that the Duke of Dingguo's mansion has found them and wants to use these two to threaten Lin Wanqing, who is now the Queen of Beili?
If that's the case, then Wei Qiming might as well have just locked them up. Why did he let them seek help from the General's Mansion?
Su Ruojin was also a little confused for a moment.
"Xiao Jin, do you want to save them?" Madam Su asked.
Looking at the two unconscious people on the bed, Su Ruojin asked Madam Su, "Mother, have they noticed anything unusual while they've been in the manor?"
Madam Su was taken aback. They were just two unconscious people; what could be wrong with them?
However, she still called over the servant who was in charge of taking care of the two of them and asked him.
The servants replied that the two had been unconscious without any abnormalities. They were given medicine and only liquid foods such as porridge.
"There's nothing I can do to save him for now. I don't have any medicine to cure this poison. I need to have the Heavenly Medicine Pavilion send some. As for the Gu poison in Lin Zhengshan, I need to find out what kind of Gu it is."
Su Ruojin has been busy with various things lately and hasn't looked at the Gu books for a while, so she can't remember all the Gu techniques for the time being.
"Mother, have someone keep a close eye on them. I have a feeling something's off about this," Su Ruojin instructed.
Seeing Xiao Jin's expression, Madam Su knew that things might not be as simple as she had initially thought, so she quickly nodded, "Don't worry, I'll have the housekeeper add a few more people to keep an eye on things day and night."
When Xiao Yanchu returned to the palace, he saw Su Ruojin reading the book on Gu techniques again.
