Hearing that the Grand Tutor was not feeling well today, Ye Qingwan considerately brought a bowl of fish porridge to visit him.

Liu Sheng was not surprised at her arrival. After all, he had been scolded early in the morning.

But when he saw her bringing out the fish porridge in a flattering manner and blowing on it enthusiastically before passing it to him, he suddenly felt a little scared.

She wouldn't really poison him, would she?

Liu Sheng picked up the bowl and pretended to drink, but he secretly glanced at her out of the corner of his eye.

Ye Qingwan, who had been staring at the bowl, noticed his gaze and immediately looked away and sat up straight.

Liu Sheng understood in his heart that the little girl really poisoned him.

Ye Qingwan saw that he was holding it, stirring it here and there, blowing on it from time to time, but not putting it into his mouth, and she became a little impatient.

"Old Master, what are you bragging about? Drink it quickly. What are you waiting for?"

"Did he find out?"

"That's impossible. Isn't this laxative colorless and odorless?"

Ye Qingwan complained on the screen in annoyance, but finally couldn't help but say, "Master, why don't you drink it? Fish porridge should be drunk while it's hot. It will taste fishy when it's cold."

Liu Sheng raised his eyebrows and simply put the bowl down: "This porridge doesn't taste right."

Ye Qingwan quickly picked it up, looked at it carefully for a while, and then leaned over to smell it.

It just tastes like normal fish porridge, what's wrong?

"The fish may not be fresh. The porridge cooked with it smells a bit bad."

"Smelly?" Ye Qingwan sniffed it again, looking confused: "It's not smelly, it smells good."

"How can it smell good? It stinks so bad, can't you smell it?"

Ye Qingwan shook her head: "I really can't smell it."

Liu Sheng made a "tsk" sound and scooped a spoonful of food and passed it to her: "Smell it and see if it stinks."

Ye Qingwan took a deep breath and said, "It still doesn't stink."

"How is that possible? Smell it carefully again."

"I smelled it carefully. It really doesn't stink?"

Liu Sheng began to feel unconfident: "Am I sick? Is there something wrong with my sense of smell?"

"It must be." Ye Qingwan finally found the problem and said, it was clearly a fish that had just been caught from the river, how could it be smelly?

Liu Sheng was a little distressed: "Is that so... No, I still think it's the fish's problem. If you don't believe me, try it."

As he spoke, he put the spoon into her mouth. Ye Qingwan tasted it naturally and said, "No problem, it's very sweet and not smelly at all."

Seeing this, Liu Sheng tried hard to hold back his laughter.

"Maybe I'm sick, and there's something wrong with my sense of smell. This fish porridge is fine."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingwan nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, I was talking about this fish porridge..."

Before I could finish my sentence, my stomach suddenly started to growl.

She looked down at the fish porridge she had tasted and almost cursed.

Liu Sheng, damn it!

"Miss Ye, what's wrong with you? Why are you holding your stomach? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Liu Sheng held back his laughter and spoke hypocritically, with pride written all over his face.

Ye Qingwan shot herself in the foot. She was angry but dared not say anything. She could only smile and say, "Master, I, I may have eaten the wrong food when I woke up so early. I want to go to the toilet."

After saying that, without waiting for Liu Sheng to speak, he ran away, holding his stomach, and went to the toilet to relieve himself.

After the diarrhea, he did not forget to take some montmorillonite, which allowed him to get out of the toilet alive.

This black-hearted old master had indeed discovered that the porridge had been drugged...

When she came back from the toilet with shaking legs, Liu Sheng had already changed into going-out clothes and was waiting for her at the door.

"Master, are you going out?"

"Yes, let's go."

"Me too?"

Ye Qingwan: ...

No, she had already wasted half a day returning his gift, and she didn't want to spend the rest of the day with him.

"Master, I have something else to do..."

"I think that bowl of fish porridge is really fresh. I'll send it to the Prime Minister right away."

"I'm fine, Master. I've been free all day."

Only then did Liu Sheng walk out with satisfaction.

Ye Qingwan forced herself to smile, but as soon as he turned around, her face immediately fell.

Awooo...I’ll bite you to death.

There was no conversation along the way until the carriage stopped in front of the Jinyiwei gate.

When the Jinyiwei on duty saw them coming, they immediately brought over a stepping board and helped them down.

Then someone led them all the way through the Jinyiwei gate, the courtyard, down to the prison, and finally through a dark and damp corridor to a room without even a window.

As soon as the door opened, the musty smell mixed with the bloody smell hit her nose, making her cover her mouth and nose immediately.

"Master..."

"Go in first."

Section 7

Although Ye Qingwan was reluctant, she still followed him in obediently. There was a wooden bed in the room, with a female corpse lying on it, covered with a white cloth.

She had died and been reborn, and reborn and died so many times that she had long been numb and didn't feel anything when she saw a corpse.

I just don't understand why he brought me here?

It wouldn't be murder to silence the witnesses...

But she soon realized that she was overthinking, because the place was very noisy. The two young masters were cursing and slandering each other, turning the Yama Hall into a vegetable market.

She knew both of these people. One was Lord Liang, the son of Lord Liang Yuanbo, and the other was the Sixth Lord of the Earl of Yongchang.

They are all frequent visitors to brothels and prostitutes. They have no ambition to make progress and spend all day in brothels. They rely on their family's influence to bully men and women. They are not good people.

I don't know why he came to the Jinyiwei prison today and even quarreled with her until her face turned red.

Ye Qingwan listened to some of it and roughly understood that Master Liang wanted to accuse the Sixth Master of the Yongchang Earl of poisoning his lover in Yihong Tower.

But the Sixth Prince of Yongchang said that he had ordered his lover in Yihonglou to poison him, but she ended up poisoning herself to death. Because it was not only the woman who died that was poisoned, but also him.

Anyway, the two of them stick to their own opinions and it's hard to tell who is right or wrong.

Jinyiwei had no choice but to invite Taifu Liu Sheng. After all, both of them were from the Earl's Mansion. They had no evidence and dared not offend either side.

Liu Sheng is not only the current Taifu, but also in charge of the Jinyiwei, so it is most appropriate to ask him to come.

Ye Qingwan stood silently behind Liu Sheng without saying a word. She didn't want to pay any attention to him at all and even wanted to leave.

These two people are also interesting. These plots do not exist at all in the original novel, but they add their own drama.

"Stop denying it. There were only two of you in the room. Now she is dead, and you are still alive and well. Can you explain it clearly?" Young Master Liang pointed at the Sixth Young Master and shouted.

The Sixth Young Master was not to be outdone: "What kind of good person do you think you are? Do you think I don't know what you did with that concubine of the Xia family in Yuqing Temple?"

Ye Qingwan, who was wandering in her trance, was suddenly pulled back to her senses. What good things happened to the concubine of the Xia family in Yuqing Temple?

Isn’t the Xia family mentioned in this book the family of the heroine Xia Xuejian?

Could it be that she was talking about how her sister’s innocence was slandered and she was eventually forced to commit suicide by jumping into the river?

So it was you who did it. The original novel didn't say clearly who did it until the end. You hid it so well.

It’s really not a good thing.

But... Ye Qingwan looked at him with disdain. Seeing his unfortunate appearance, he wouldn't live long.

In two more episodes, the Liang family will provoke the heroine themselves.
