Su Lingyue looked at the mouse on the bed and felt frightened.

Su Lingyue suppressed her intense fear and picked up the candle on the table. She waved the candle at the mice and drove them away after a few attempts.

Su Lingyue lifted the quilt and a foul odor hit her nose, the smell of feces and urine.

She quickly covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief to avoid being vomited by the smoke.

After a quick glance, there were no big rats inside, but I don't know when a rat gave birth to two litters of baby mice. They squeaked from the cold after the quilt was opened.

In order to prevent Su Heng from noticing her presence, she did not touch the two nests of little mice and covered them with the quilt again.

Su Lingyue felt that her father's method of torturing people was very cruel, but she did not sympathize with the grandmother.

This grandmother was originally the daughter of a noble family in the capital. After she married my grandfather, she had no children for many years, so her family took in several concubines for my grandfather.

However, these concubines died of various illnesses shortly after giving birth.

Su Lingyue had heard some ladies from aristocratic families discussing it secretly, saying that it was the old lady's work.

The old lady adopted the children born to these concubines, and several of them died, leaving only two.

One inherited the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, and the other became the Master of the Imperial Palace.

Su Lingyue looked at the old lady on the bed and tried to ask, "Grandma, can you hear me?"

The old lady blinked her eyes desperately as if she had seen a life-saving straw.

"My grandmother suffered a lot. As a granddaughter, I came to see her after not seeing her for a long time. I never thought that she lived like this."

As he said this, he wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief.

Then, he looked up at the old lady and said, "There are servants guarding the gate of the courtyard. I can't take grandma away."

Hearing this, the old lady's eyes, which were originally full of hope, instantly dimmed.

Su Lingyue added: "Grandma loves her granddaughter so much, please rest assured, I will definitely rescue you."

Hearing Su Lingyue say this, the old lady's dull eyes brightened up again.

Su Lingyue placed her hand on the old lady's wrist and began to take her pulse.

As she thought, the drug she was given was a drug for idiots.

She had seen this medicine in the medical books of the Imperial Hospital in the palace.

There were several mentally retarded princes in the harem of the previous emperor, and this poison was later discovered and recorded.

If an underdeveloped person eats it, he will become demented, and if a fully developed person eats it, it will damage his brain.

"Is this the medicine my father gave you?" Su Lingyue raised her eyes and asked the old lady.

The old lady blinked and looked at Su Lingyue in confusion.

She didn't know how Su Lingyue knew how to take a pulse, but at this moment Su Lingyue was her last straw and she could only rely on Su Lingyue.

Su Lingyue took out the acupuncture bag from her waist, took out the silver needles, and pierced several major acupoints on the old lady's head.

"My granddaughter can temporarily cure the poison for me and allow my tongue to move, but I must not let my father know. Do you understand?"

The old lady blinked with tears in her eyes.

Su Lingyue looked at the old lady and knew that it was almost time to start.

She picked up the handkerchief and wiped her tears gently. "In fact, my granddaughter is not doing well either. A few days ago, when we were returning to the palace from the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, my granddaughter and the prince encountered an assassin and were shot by an arrow. Fortunately, they survived."

"The prince said that it was my father who wanted to kill us. I didn't believe it, but now seeing my grandmother like this, I dare not disbelieve it anymore."

"But I don't know how long my father can let me live."

As she spoke, pearls fell down one by one like beads from a broken string, sobbing softly.

The old lady also had tears in her eyes at this time.

After a while, Su Lingyue wiped away her tears and looked at the old lady with a firm gaze.

"Grandma, you have loved me since I was a child. As long as I live, I will find a way to save you."

At this point, the old lady could no longer hold back her tears.

Su Lingyue used a handkerchief to wipe the old lady's tears. She didn't mind that she was dirty and smelly. She lay on the old lady's chest and spoke in a firm voice.

"I will definitely save my grandmother. If I fail to save her and she is killed by my father, I will definitely go to the King of Hell to complain and ask him to punish my father and save my grandmother."

Su Lingyue's words were sincere and soothing. The old lady looked at Su Lingyue and blinked.

Su Lingyue looked at the old lady, wiped away her tears, and asked softly, "Grandma, do you have anything to say?"

After hearing this, the old lady started blinking again.

"Granny, wait a moment. I'll get the needle."

Su Lingyue pulled out all the needles from the old lady's acupuncture points and looked at her, "Grandma, try moving your tongue and see if you can speak."

The old lady had just gotten rid of some of the poison and was able to open her mouth slightly, making a hoarse, unpleasant sound.

Su Lingyue gently patted the old lady's chest and comforted her softly, "Grandma, don't worry, take your time."

After a long while, the old lady finally spoke.

"Study...Secret room...Evidence."

Su Lingyue knew what she was saying, but pretended to be surprised, "Grandma, are you saying that there is evidence of his crime in the secret room of the study?"

The old lady replied hoarsely, "Yes."

Su Lingyue looked at the old lady with concern when she heard this. "It's just that my father's study caught fire a while ago. I don't know if we can find him."

The old lady paused for a moment and said, "Beijing suburbs... Meishan... Zhuangzi... I go there often."

Su Lingyue was really surprised this time. Su Heng knew the danger and actually moved those things outside the capital.

No wonder Xiao Yu and the others couldn’t find it.

Su Lingyue looked at the old lady and said firmly: "For my grandmother and I to survive, I will find a way to find it."

"Okay... Yue'er, I have you... I don't worry."

Su Lingyue smiled sweetly, "With grandma's protection, your granddaughter can rest assured."

After a pause, Su Lingyue instructed the old lady again, "Grandma, I haven't asked how to solve other parts of the body yet.

Wait until the granddaughter asks, then come and treat the grandmother.

Before that, grandma must not speak in front of father, lest he harm her."

The old lady said with tears in her eyes: "Okay."

Su Lingyue wiped the old lady's tears, said goodbye to her reluctantly, blew out the candle, and closed the door with a smile on her lips.

As soon as she came out, Li Jing outside the door covered her nose in disgust, "Why do you stink so badly!"

Su Lingyue stayed in there for a while and got used to it so she didn't feel it. But after Li Jing said that, she also smelled it.

"A little bit, but the goal has been achieved." Su Lingyue chuckled, "Thank you Miss Li Jing for taking me back."

Li Jing picked up Su Lingyue with disdain, jumped onto the roof, and then landed at the same place where they entered.

Caidie was still pacing in the same place. When she saw Su Lingyue and the others coming back, she hurried to greet them. However, when she smelled the scent on Su Lingyue, she covered her nose.

Su Lingyue couldn't stand the smell any more. "Let's go back to Xunyue Garden and take a shower before going to the hall. If we go out like this, we'll get sick from the stink."

Caidie quickly asked the maid to bring hot water and added essential oil to the water.

Su Lingyue washed herself from head to toe, and the nausea in her heart disappeared.

After the banquet, Xiao Yu was a little surprised when he heard Su Lingyue talking about Meishan in the suburbs of Beijing.

No wonder they turned the entire capital upside down but couldn't find it; it turned out to be in the suburbs.

Xiao Yu held Su Lingyue's hand tightly, curled his lips and smiled softly, "Let Yan Qingyunting go and investigate tonight."
