At that time, there were quite a few people in Deyi Yongcheng's house who knew medicine.
"Although the scent of this snake-kiss hook is unique, it is not strong, and it becomes even fainter when mixed with women's cosmetics."
"Besides, the materials for making this Spirit Charm are not easy to gather, and not many people know about it," Su Ruojin explained.
If she hadn't been familiar with various herbs since childhood and had developed a very sensitive nose, she might not have been able to smell this aroma.
In a sense, Masako Izumi's poisoning of Yusei Tokugi was, in effect, a way of indirectly avenging Nian'er.
This was originally an internal matter of the shogunate, and even if Su Ruojin knew the truth, she would not interfere.
Back in her room, Su Ruojin looked at the medicine bottle she had left on the table and smiled, "Yanchu, the fish has taken the bait."

Shogunate.
In Tokugi Shingo's room, a person was kneeling on the ground, holding two medicine bottles in his hands.
"My lord, this is the antidote that Su Ruojin developed."
Are you sure?
"I heard Su Ruojin say with my own ears that one of them was a poison she developed, the same poison that the general was poisoned with."
The other is an antidote; adults can have someone try it. I secretly switched it while she was away from the villa.”
After a moment of silence, Tokugi Shingo said, "Put the medicine back down. If it is indeed the antidote, I will reward you. Be careful not to let them find you."
"Understood, I will take my leave."
After the others left, Tokuyoshi Shingo summoned his servant and said, "Go and invite the head of the Ono family over."
"yes!"
Since the disappearance of the head of the medicine shop, the only person that Tokugi Shingo can trust and who is skilled in medicine is Ono Yuuki, the head of the Ono Medicine Shop.
Initially, Shingo Tokuyoshi wanted Ono Yuuki to be appointed as the head of the pharmacy, but Ono Yuuki refused.
The Ono family precepts stipulated that members of the Ono family should dedicate their lives to medicine and should not serve as officials in the imperial court.
However, due to pressure from the shogunate, Ono Yuki promised that he would come to treat the shogunate's people whenever summoned by the shogunate, and swore that he would never reveal anything related to the shogunate.
Yuki Ono soon arrived at the shogunate.
Shingo Tokugi placed two bottles of medicine in front of him. "Master Ono, take a look at these two bottles of medicine. Is there anything special about them?"
Ono Yuuki picked up two bottles, opened them, poured some out of each, smelled them, then dissolved them in water and examined them. His expression changed drastically. "Sir, where did this medicine come from?"
Instead of answering, Deyi Xinwu asked, "What's wrong with that?"
Yuuki Ono pointed to one of the bottles and said, "Sir, this is a poison I have never seen before, and it is extremely potent."
He then pointed to another bottle, "This bottle contains the antidote, what a pity."
"What's a pity?"
"Unfortunately, this poison is too dark in color to be colorless and odorless."
Shingo Tokugi understood what Yuuki Ono meant: a good poison usually needs to be colorless and odorless to be more effective.
"Do you know what the effects of this poison are?" Tokugi Shingo was now more concerned about this question.
"I just smelled it and it seems to contain Soul-Losing Sand, as well as some other things I don't know about. Please allow me to take it back and study its specific effects."
Yuuki Ono had already decided to take the medicine back to the mansion and feed it to the small animals kept there for experiments, in order to verify its efficacy.
"No need." Tokugi Shingo clapped his hands, and the door opened.
Then a man was brought in by the people outside the door. Judging from his clothes, he should be a servant of the shogunate.
“There’s no need for Master Ono to take it back for research. This man has already been poisoned. You take a look at him,” Tokuyoshi Shingo said calmly.
Yuuki Ono was taken aback, but instantly understood what Shingo Tokugi meant.
He had already fed this person the poison.
Yuuki Ono sighed inwardly, but dared not show it on his face, and could only take the man's pulse.
After taking the pulse, Ono Yuuki was startled and immediately lifted the man's trouser leg. Sure enough!
