Xiao Yanchu was slightly taken aback when Su Ruojin asked this question. "Why do you ask such a question, Ruojin?"
"I remember you once said that your elder sister was injured by the cold air when she saved you, and she has been weak ever since."
"That's right." This is also why Xiao Yanchu has always felt indebted to his elder sister.
“But when I took her pulse today, there was no trace of coldness in her body. On the contrary, there was a strange heat in her blood. This heat was more like an evil energy, and it was this evil energy that caused her to be unable to conceive.”
Seeing Xiao Yanchu's puzzled look, Su Ruojin explained, "You can understand it this way: when a pearl is implanted in a woman's body, the pearl will slowly grow into a fetus inside her body. However, the evil heat in the princess's body will scorch the pearl, which has not yet developed, and kill it."
Since there was no concept of a fertilized egg in ancient times, Su Ruojin had to follow the terminology used in the medical practices of the Great Chu Dynasty and call it a pearl.
If pearls cannot survive, how can there be pregnancy?
Xiao Yanchu's eyes widened slightly. He had never heard of what Su Ruojin was talking about, but he did not doubt Su Ruojin's medical skills.
If Ah Jin says it's like this, then it must be like this.
"Where did this evil energy come from? Can it be cured?" Xiao Yanchu was a little worried. If the evil energy remained in his elder sister's body, not to mention whether she could conceive, it might even endanger her life.
"On my way to the Prince's mansion, I thought about it carefully and felt that the Princess's symptoms were more like poisoning! It has been a long time and the poison has entered her body and cannot be expelled. Fortunately, this evil energy will only make people unable to conceive and make them irritable, but it will not harm their lives."
"My elder sister has been poisoned?" Xiao Yanchu was furious. His elder sister was one of the few people in the palace who were kind to him, and she had no conflict of interest with anyone else. Why was his elder sister also poisoned?
Could it be that mother and child from the palace?
However, the Empress Dowager did not hinder them at all. It was the Empress Dowager who helped them quell the rebellion in the first place. In this sense, the Empress Dowager helped that mother and son, so they had no reason to poison the Empress Dowager.
If it weren't for them, it would have been impossible for anyone else.
"Actually, I'm not quite sure either. The princess's pulse sounds like poison, but it's not quite. By the way, when I went to the princess's residence today, I saw people carrying out a dead body." Su Ruojin briefly told Xiao Yanchu what she had seen at the princess's residence.
Xiao Yanchu frowned slightly. "My elder sister has always been a gentle woman. She would never do something like beating or killing a servant. Perhaps a servant in the manor just fell ill and died."
With so many servants in the Princess's residence, this situation is not impossible.
"Do you have any informants at the Princess's residence?" Su Ruojin asked.
Xiao Yanchu shook his head. "No."
Given his relationship with his elder sister, why would he need to plant spies in the Princess's residence?
"Ah Jin, do you want to investigate the Princess's residence?" Xiao Yanchu knew Su Ruojin very well, so her question naturally indicated that she had something on her mind.
Su Ruojin didn't hide anything from him, "The princess's health is quite strange. I think it's better to find out more, otherwise it will be troublesome if something else happens."
Xiao Yanchu understood Su Ruojin's meaning. She was afraid that someone in the manor would harm the eldest princess, and he would be saddened if something happened to his elder sister.
Now that we've discovered something suspicious, it's good to investigate, and it will put our minds at ease.
"Okay, I'll send someone to investigate. I'll let you know if there's any news."
After leaving the Regent's Palace, Su Ruojin asked Yanluo to inform Rong Qizhou and ask him to send someone to investigate matters related to the Eldest Princess.
Intuitively, Su Ruojin felt that something was wrong with the Eldest Princess, or rather, something was wrong with the entire Eldest Princess's residence.
If what Xiao Yanchu said is true, the eldest princess is a gentle and kind person, then why do the servants in the mansion look at her with fear and caution?
Evil influences can make a person more irritable than before, but they won't completely change a person's nature.
The next day, before Xiao Yanchu could send any news, Yanluo rushed into Su Ruojin's room.
"Miss, Envoy Rong has sent word that they rescued someone from the Princess's residence, and the person is still unconscious."
"Let's go take a look."
