Hearing this, Lu Qiong's expression turned cold.

She frowned.

"Miss Shen, can Chengxuan's leg... be saved?"

"It can be saved, but the prince may have to suffer some pain again."

Qin Chengxuan immediately said: "It's okay, as long as I can get better, I can bear any pain."

Shen Ruoxi nodded.

She spread out the silver needle and said, "I will relieve the poison for the Crown Prince first."

Shen Ruoxi's eyes flashed slightly.

If she hadn't come here, if it had been half a month later, Qin Chengxuan's poison would have invaded his internal organs, and there would be no way to save him.

She knew Qin Chengxuan's intentions last time and wanted to avoid suspicion, so she didn't come in person.

He didn't want it to happen to him.

After all, she is also responsible.

Hearing Shen Ruoxi say that he could be saved, Lu Qiong's heart finally relaxed.

She opened the door and called the housekeeper.

"Luo Bao, immediately call the palace doctor Du Yishan and the servants who are usually responsible for the prince's medication to the hospital."

At the end, she added: "And Xu Lingmiao, ask her to come too!"

Luo Bao worked quickly, and soon the courtyard was full of people.

Xu Lingmiao arrived late.

She was wearing a lavender skirt and looked at Lu Qiong with some anxiety.

Seeing that her face was frosty, she didn't dare to ask questions after all.

Qin Wenyan followed and pulled Xu Lingmiao's sleeve nervously.

"Mom, what's going on? Why does Madam want you to come over to the yard?"

"I am not sure as well……"

Xu Lingmiao clenched her sleeves and had a bad feeling in her heart.

She held Qin Wenyan's hand: "Wenyan, no matter what happens later, don't be afraid as long as your mother is here."

Qin Wenyan looked at her, and then nodded slowly.

The door creaked and was opened.

Shen Ruoxi walked out.

Leng Shuang pushed the pale Qin Chengxuan and followed him out.

Lu Qiong was a little worried.

"Chengxuan, you are feeling weak, you should go back and rest first."

"fine."

Qin Chengxuan raised his eyes and glanced at the people in the courtyard.

There was a sharp look in his eyes.

He wanted to see with his own eyes who of these people who had been with him day and night had betrayed him!

Seeing Qin Chengxuan's insistence, Lu Qiong said no more.

She asked Luo Bao to go outside to interrogate other servants in the mansion.

Then he lowered his eyes and glanced sharply at the people standing in the courtyard.

"The dose of medicine that the prince drinks every day has been secretly reduced. Who did it? Recruit him now so that he can stay alive."

Hearing this, there was a restlessness below.

One after another they all knelt down.

"Madam, this servant is wronged. The prince's medicine is brought by the palace doctor Du Yishan every day. I am only responsible for decoction!"

"Yes, ma'am, I and Acai take turns guarding the prince's medicine jar, and don't dare to be careless at all. This slave can guarantee that he will never go on a business trip!"

"I have served the Crown Prince since I was a child, and I have no second intention. I can swear this!"

"Madam, please give me a lesson! Your Majesty, please give me a lesson!"

Everyone shouted that they were wronged, which made Lu Qiong have a headache.

She snapped.

"stop fighting!"

Then he looked at Du Yishan on the side.

"Du Yishan, you are the doctor of the government. These days, you have been looking at Chengxuan's legs. What do you have to say?"

Du Yishan is over forty years old and has been working as a doctor in the Wuding Marquis Mansion for twenty years.

Because he was lame in one leg, thanks to the Qin family's care for him over the years, he was able to live a good life.

Hearing Lu Qiong's words, he immediately said.

"Madam, I personally got this medicine. I followed Miss Shen's prescription exactly. There is absolutely no mistake. If Madam is suspicious, you can check shopkeeper Lu's account book. I have been getting the medicine there!"

"The ledger can only confirm that you did take so much medicine, but who can guarantee that you used it completely for my son?"

"Madam Mingjian, you and the Marquis have shown me great kindness. If I have the slightest dissatisfaction, I will be struck by lightning!"

Du Yishan looked determined: "Besides, I am a useless person, and I only rely on the favor of the Hou Mansion. Why should I harm the prince? Madam, I really have no reason to do this!"

Hearing this, Lu Qiong also frowned.

Du Yishan really had no motive.

But maybe... he was instigated by someone else?

But for so many years, Du Yishan has been doing his job honestly and diligently, and has never heard of any beneficial dealings with other people.

It was because of his loyalty to the Hou Mansion that he was put in charge of Qin Chengxuan's legs.

"Doctor Du, there is no need to rush to swear."

Shen Ruoxi stood aside and spoke slowly.

Her voice was soft, but it had a firm strength to it.

"I heard that Doctor Du has superb medical skills. These days, when you look at the prince's legs, is it possible that you didn't find out that the prince has been poisoned?"

Hearing this, Du Yishan's expression paused.

He narrowed his eyes slightly.

"I...I thought it was drug residue and it was normal. After all, the prince's leg was getting better, so I just thought..."

"shut up!"

Lu Qiong looked sullen: "Du Yishan, you have been studying medicine since you were a child, how could you make such a low-level mistake? Did someone instigate you to do this?"

"Madam, I did neglect my duty, but I definitely didn't mean to harm the prince!"

Du Yishan knelt on the ground holding his lame leg and kowtowed to Lu Qiong.

He looked extremely excited.

Seeing that Lu Qiong was unmoved, he looked at Qin Chengxuan again.

"Your Majesty, I have watched you since childhood. To put it bluntly... I have no wife and no children, and I treat you as half a son in my heart. How could I have the intention of harming you!"

Qin Chengxuan frowned slightly.

On the face as bright as the moonlight, the eyes narrowed slightly.

"Doctor Du, I trust you..."

Du Yishan breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"I trust you, but you treat me like a fool. Doctor Du, is this how you treat my trust?"

Qin Chengxuan frowned slightly, with a cold look in his eyes.

"You knew I was poisoned, but you didn't say anything for a long time. It's really strange. Do you think I will be fine, or do you just want me to die?"

Du Yishan was stunned for a moment, then waved his hands repeatedly.

"Your Majesty, I sincerely hope you will be well, how could you have such thoughts!"

"What is the reason?"

Qin Chengxuan's tone was a little serious.

He is the noble prince, and although he is now pale and sitting in a wheelchair, he still has the aura of a superior in his heart.

"If you don't tell me, don't blame me for using extraordinary means."

Hearing this, Du Yishan panicked slightly.

After a moment of silence, he whispered.

"Your Majesty...Actually, I don't know the poison Miss Shen used..."

Hearing this, Lu Qiong opened her eyes wide.

"What do you mean?"

"I...actually, I don't know much about poisons..."

"Du Yishan! When I called you here to look at the prescription, didn't you say that you had a thorough knowledge of poisons and were qualified to do this?"

"I lied. In fact, I don't know much about using poisons at all. I said that because I was afraid that my wife and the prince would think I was useless, and they would be disappointed in me and never use me again..."

Lu Qiong was furious.

"Just because of this matter, you actually lied to us! Du Yishan, my Wuding Marquis Mansion has wasted all these years. I should take good care of you!"

"Madam, I know my mistake!"

Du Yishan looked remorseful: "I thought Miss Shen's prescription was here, and I just had to follow the prescription and there would be no mistakes! Later it was found that the prince was poisoned. I didn't know whether it was normal or not, so I didn't dare to say it for a while..."

After speaking, he kowtowed heavily.

"I realize that I was wrong. I am ashamed of the Crown Prince and the Wuding Hou Mansion. Please forgive me, Madam and Crown Prince!"

Lu Qiong's face was ashen.

Although she was angry, she knew that the most important thing now was to find the person who attacked Qin Chengxuan.

Lu Qiong turned around.

"Miss Shen, you said before that the person who attacked Chengxuan knew some medical skills?"

"good."

Shen Ruoxi said slowly: "My poison is very toxic. If the amount of antidote is not controlled, the prince will immediately notice that something is wrong.

The person who did it accurately controlled the dosage of each antidote so that the prince could not notice any obvious abnormalities. In addition, Doctor Du's ignorance kept it secret. If I hadn't come here in person today, the point of no return would have been reached. , maybe the wife and the prince still don’t know what’s going on. "

Hearing this, Qin Chengxuan looked solemn.

When the time comes that he is hopeless, others may think that there is something wrong with Shen Ruoxi's treatment.

As a result, she was implicated and the relationship between the General's Mansion and the Wuding Hou Mansion deteriorated.

Thinking of this, Qin Chengxuan's face became even more ugly.

He turned his head and looked at Du Yishan on the ground.

"Doctor Du, you have already made a big mistake. If you know something and tell it now, you can still overcome it. Otherwise, don't blame the Wuding Hou Mansion for being ruthless!"

Du Yishan looked panicked.

"Your Majesty, I have said it all... I told the truth. I was stupid in this matter. In my heart, I never thought of harming Your Majesty!"

Lu Qiong said.

"Then when you were treating Chengxuan's leg, did you encounter anything strange?"

Hearing this, Du Yishan was stunned.

His eyes subconsciously glanced in Qin Wenyan's direction.

Lu Qiong's eyes were like lightning.

"What do you think Wenyan is doing?"

Du Yishan trembled.

Immediately said: "Madam, I am not, I am just a little nervous..."

"You don't need to defend, you don't need to say, I doubt him too."

Lu Qiong's voice was cold.

Xu Lingmiao's mother and son are the most likely people in this house to attack Qin Chengxuan.

There is only one legitimate son in the Wuding Hou Mansion.

Once Qin Chengxuan died, wouldn't Qin Wenyan, the illegitimate son, be rehabilitated?

Qin Wenyan stood aside.

Hearing this, I was shocked and scared.

"Madam, do you suspect that I have harmed the Crown Prince?"

He looked at Qin Chengxuan anxiously: "Your Majesty, I don't. I have been running more diligently towards your courtyard these days, but I just... I just want to see you more."

After all, the prince is the person in this house who treats him best besides his mother.

Lu Qiong: "You are close to Chengxuan, so you have the best chance to take action."

"But I don't know any medical skills at all, let alone any medicinal materials..."

Lu Qiong sneered: "You don't know him, but your mother does."

Xu Lingmiao used to be her maid, and she knew that she had good medical skills.

He also knows a lot about poisons

"My mother? It's absolutely impossible for my mother!"

Qin Wenyan's eyes widened and he looked a little excited: "Madam, my mother is gentle, kind, knowledgeable, and would never do such a vicious thing. What's more, she has no enmity with the prince, so why would she harm the prince!?"

Lu Qiong frowned.

Anger suddenly appeared in his heart.

"Why did she want to harm Chengxuan? Let me tell you, it's because..."

"lady!"

Xu Lingmiao spoke hastily and interrupted her.

"Madam, you have watched this kid Wen Yan grow up. He has a simple mind and will never do such a sinful thing!"

"That's what you did?"

Lu Qiong's eyes were filled with sparkle: "I heard that you and Du Yishan came from the same place. Counting them together, they are from the same hometown? Could it be that you are colluding and colluding to harm Chengxuan!"

Xu Lingmiao immediately shook her head: "Madam, I didn't!"

Du Yishan also quickly denied it.

"Madam, although my cousin and I live in the same hometown, we don't know each other at all. We have only met a few times in the house. How can we collude?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw housekeeper Luo Bao walking towards this side with a rough lady.

He handed it over.

"Madam, Your Majesty, I interrogated some servants outside and found some clues."

As he spoke, he motioned to the woman next to him.

The mother-in-law stepped forward.

"Madam, my old lady feels ashamed to say this, but now that the matter is serious, I have to say it..."

As she said that, she glanced at Du Yishan and Xu Lingmiao and sighed.

Seeing the mother-in-law's face, Xu Lingmiao's delicate face turned pale and bloodless.

The mother-in-law said.

"Madam, when I was going to the wedding room in the backyard one night, I suddenly heard a sound behind the rockery. I thought it was strange, so I ran over to take a look. The result... oh, it was really unsightly.

It turns out that they are a pair of bad guys and a man, shamelessly doing such dirty things behind the rockery! What's more, what the servant didn't expect was that these two people were actually cousin girl and Dr. Du! "

As soon as the words came out, everyone in the courtyard was shocked.

Everyone looked at Xu Lingmiao and Du Yishan in the courtyard in shock, with a hint of contempt slowly creeping into their expressions.

Lu Qiong: "Is there any evidence?"

"some!"

The mother-in-law stepped forward and took out a pair of bracelets from her arms.

"After the slave found out about their affair, the cousin begged the slave not to tell the story and gave the pair of bracelets to the slave. The slave thought that this was not a glorious thing. If she told the story, it would be a shame for the Hou Mansion, so she kept Didn’t say anything.”

Lu Qiong picked up the bracelet and glanced at it.

Then his face became even uglier.

This was given to Xu Lingmiao by someone from the old lady when she gave birth to Qin Wenyan.

It was one of the few valuable things she had and she always carried it with her.

Now, her wrists are empty.

There was a "pop" sound.

Lu Qiong threw the bracelet in front of Xu Lingmiao.

"Is there anything else you want to say?"

Xu Lingmiao bit her lip.

"I……"

"Ma'am, I did it!"

On the side, Du Yishan suddenly spoke.

His slightly weathered face had a heavy expression.

"Madam, it's me...I did all of this, please don't blame my cousin!"

Lu Qiong glanced at him.

"What reason do you have for wanting to harm Chengxuan? It's not because of Xu Lingmiao's instigation!"

she snapped.

"Xu Lingmiao, tell me if you did this! If you don't tell me, I will immediately send your son Qin Wenyan out of the Marquis Mansion and sell him into slavery!"

"Madam, I can recruit you, I can recruit anything!"

Xu Lingmiao knelt on the ground and took a few steps forward on her knees.

"Madam, I was obsessed with it and wanted to harm the prince, so I went to seduce Doctor Du. Madam, I know I was wrong... Please don't vent your anger on Wen Yan!"
