Xiao Yanchu once asked Su Ruojin what she wanted to do after arriving in Dahe.
Su Ruojin replied to him, "What do you think about the Great Chu having another vassal state?"
Xiao Yanchu raised an eyebrow slightly. "It's good, but it's a bit far away, so it's not very convenient to manage. Besides, Yamato is really too poor, so we'll have to subsidize them."
"This is no challenge for our Regent of Great Chu?" Su Ruojin said dismissively.
Even so, Su Ruojin did not want to start a war directly, because ordinary people suffer the most from war.
She has been searching for the best solution.
It now appears that even Tokugi Yasuhito is not invincible in Yamato. If his opponents can be found, perhaps a better solution can be found.
"What kind of help do you need from Izumi Masako?" Xiao Yanchu asked curiously.
Su Ruojin replied, "My second brother gave me a booklet with many herbs that I've never encountered before, and they're not easy to buy in the common people. I want to see them in person and study them."
I can't think of anywhere else besides the shogunate where the most complete collection of Japanese herbs is available.
To find out how Tokuyoshi Yasuhito was poisoned, I need his daily records. Given Izumi Masako's status, obtaining these things shouldn't be difficult.
"You can just ask Deyi Kangren for these things directly," Xiao Yanchu said, puzzled. As long as it was for the purpose of treating Deyi Kangren's illness, he shouldn't refuse these things.
“But I also need the daily records of Deyi Yongcheng.” Su Ruojin’s eyes turned slightly cold as she said this.
She asked Izumi Masako to find these things so that she could also find Tokugi Yusei's daily records without arousing suspicion.
Deyi Yongcheng, how should she treat him?
I need to think about it carefully.
When Izumi Masako returned to the shogunate, she told Tokuyoshi Yasuhito that Su Ruojin no longer cared about the matter, but only wanted some herbs and the general's daily records to find out the cause of the poisoning and a way to detoxify.
Upon hearing this, Deyi Kangren felt relieved, realizing that these people from the Great Chu were indeed easy to fool.
When Masako Izumi returned to the house, she knelt blankly beside the table, her fingers gently fiddling with the teacup on it.
Chinatsu Ueno wanted to ask something, but seeing Odai's expression, she didn't dare to speak and could only stay silently by his side.
A moment later, Izumi Masako spoke up, "Chinatsu, our chance has come."
Chinatsu Ueno suddenly looked up at Masako Izumi.
Izumi Masako wore a cold smile, a far cry from her submissive demeanor in front of Su Ruojin.

After several days of treatment, Asakawa Riko gradually recovered. Su Ruojin wanted to give her some money and send her and her grandfather back to the village.
As a result, Li Zi cried and begged Su Ruojin to let her stay at the villa to work, so that she could have money to buy tonics for her grandfather.
Su Ziyang felt a little sorry for Li Zi and said a few words on her behalf.
Su Ruojin thought that Li Zi had saved her second brother after all, so she agreed.
Li Zi wanted to help Yan Luo, Huan Qing, and Huan Zhi, but she had only just recovered a little, so they didn't dare let her help. However, they couldn't refuse her, so they let her do some simple tasks.
Perhaps because her body had not fully recovered, Riko often accidentally broke a few bowls or mixed up the dishes.
Finally, Su Youjin arranged for her to teach Nian'er the Japanese language and writing system, which resolved the issue.
Izumi Masako delivered the medicinal herbs Su Ruojin had requested, along with the daily records of Tokugi Yasuhito and his son. From these records, there seemed to be no problem.
Tokugi Yusei will only be recuperating in the shogunate for the time being and will not leave the shogunate for the time being, nor is he in a hurry.
Su Ruojin began experimenting with these medicines, hoping to concoct a poison that matched Deyi Kangren's symptoms.
That evening, Su Ziyang returned to the villa with a heavy expression. "Your Highness, Xiao Jin, come with me to a place."
Seeing Su Ziyang's expression, Su Ruojin and Xiao Yanchu knew that something must have happened, so they immediately followed Su Ziyang out of the villa.
Su Ziyang led the group around and around until they arrived at the entrance of a dilapidated temple outside Chigen City.
"Second brother, what's this?" Su Ruojin asked, puzzled.
"Come in with me."
Inside the temple, there is a clay Buddha statue. Perhaps due to years of disrepair, the statue has become mottled, and the colors that were painted before are so faded that they are almost invisible.
Su Ziyang walked behind the Buddha statue, reached out and touched it, and then saw that there was a dent in the back of the Buddha statue.
