This was not because of his assistance on several occasions, but out of inner trust.

"Doctor Tao is a very skilled doctor. I went to great lengths to find him in the hope that he could cure my mother." She spoke in a heavy tone, her eyes full of worry.

"Cure?"

Shen Siyan was surprised.

The Ye family could afford famous doctors. If Su Taigong was willing, he could use his power to invite even the imperial doctors from the palace. What serious illness did her mother have that required her to go out and seek medical treatment?

Ye Yunzi remained silent, and naturally understood Shen Siyan's doubts.

She said slowly, "I know a little about medicine, and I noticed that my mother was in poor health. She must have been poisoned... The poison has penetrated deep into her internal organs, and ordinary recuperation methods are ineffective on her."

"If we delay any longer..." She stopped talking, her lowered eyes filled with sadness.

In this life, even if Su prevented his mother from committing suicide, he might still die due to his weak constitution.

"What poison? How do you know she was poisoned?" Tao Qiming immediately became alert when he heard it was poison.

"I'm not sure either." Ye Yunzi shook her head, "That's why I want to ask Doctor Tao to help diagnose my mother."

In her previous life, Tao Qiming had come to Ye's house once by chance. When she saw her mother, she shook her head and said that she didn't have much time left. Not long after, her mother committed suicide. When she was found, her fingertips were blue, which was obviously a sign of poisoning.

At that time, she had no power and was immersed in the grief of her mother's death and had no time to care about anything else.

After being reborn in this life, Ye Yunzi pondered for a long time.

Ye Ziru said that she had stuffed poison into her mother's mouth and then hung her up to pretend she had hanged herself. This meant that her mother actually died of poisoning, and then it was made to look like suicide.

However, before that, her mother's health had already deteriorated greatly, and she trembled in pain every time she walked a few steps.

Ye Yunzi immediately remembered what Doctor Tao had said, he said her mother didn't have much time left.

After being poisoned, the poison accumulates more and more as time goes by, and by the time it is discovered, it is already too late to save the person.

This time, she had to quickly find out what poison her mother had been poisoned with and then find a way to cure her.

"Doctor Tao, only you can save my mother." Ye Yunzi pleaded, placing all her hopes on Tao Qiming. If he took action, he would definitely be able to save her mother.

Tao Qiming agreed without hesitation.

The more difficult the poison, the more interested he is.

Besides, this girl is not simple. The poison pills she made are amazing. He is really curious about who she is.

Ye Yunzi thanked him quickly and said with a smile, "I will find a chance to invite you to the Ye family."

"Okay, I'll wait for your news."

The two of them were chatting quite happily, but Shen Siyan was left aside. He couldn't get a word in and his face became increasingly uglier.

Tao Qiming looked up and saw Shen Siyan staring at him with icy eyes, which were so cold that they could freeze a person to death.

"..."

Shen Siyan's face seemed to say "get out".

Tao Qiming swallowed his saliva and thought that he should not stay any longer. If he stayed any longer, his life might be in danger. "I suddenly remembered that the flowers in my yard have not been fertilized yet. I have to go back."

He made up an excuse and left quickly.

By the quiet bridge and flowing water, only Ye Yunzi and Shen Siyan were left.

Ye Yunzi looked at the river with a sad face, thinking about her mother all the time. What if the poison in her mother's body had penetrated deep into her bones and could not be cured?

Seeing Ye Yunzi's heavy face and no smile at all, Shen Siyan also fell silent.

"Let's go upstream," he suggested.

Ye Yunzi felt a little tired and wanted to decline the offer, planning to go back home and rest.

But looking at Shen Siyan's serious eyes, Ye Yunzi thought again, if it weren't for him, how could she have the chance to meet Doctor Tao. Forget it, she had no choice but to nod and agree, and followed Shen Siyan's pace.

The two of them strolled all the way to the upper reaches of the river. It was very quiet all around, with only the occasional chirping of insects, as if there was a small concert going on.

Strings of lanterns drift with the waves, floating slowly down the river, like the brightest stars in the night sky, illuminating the dark world and making people yearn for it.

Ye Yunzi's mood gradually calmed down and her eyes followed the lanterns in the river.

"Light up the lanterns, and your wishes will come true. The lanterns will carry your wishes to find the river god." In the distance, an old man shouted at the top of his voice. Several passers-by gathered in front of his stall, bought lanterns and lit up their wishes.

Ye Yunzi looked in the direction of the sound and was also attracted by the swaying lanterns.

Shen Siyan saw Ye Yunzi's eyes and knew what she was thinking without her saying anything.

He walked quickly towards the old man and bought a lantern with money.

"Next." Shen Siyan turned around and handed the lantern to Ye Yunzi.

Ye Yunzi raised her lips slightly to express her gratitude, and then walked to the river. She squatted down, carefully holding the lantern with both hands, staring at the flickering candlelight, with a trance-like expression.

Shen Siyan moved closer to her and asked softly, "Do you believe in gods?"

"..."

immortal?

It seemed as if God had never given her a green light in her life. She drank bowl after bowl of bitterness. Her relatives passed away, and the person she loved the most betrayed her and stabbed her in the back.

But fortunately, at the last moment, perhaps God heard her prayers and gave her a chance to start over, returning to the year before all the tragedies happened, giving her a chance to redeem herself.

She closed her eyes with a pious look on her face.

After a long while, he opened his eyes and prepared to release the lantern in his hand.

At this moment, a big hand gently rested on her shoulder. She looked up and saw Shen Siyan standing high above her.

"What did you wish for?" he asked.

Ye Yunzi smiled and shook her head, "It won't work if I say it out loud."

Shen Siyan was stunned for a moment, his eyes fixed on Ye Yunzi, as if he wanted to engrave her peaceful smile at this moment in his heart forever, not wanting to forget it, and not even missing her every move.

He didn't know since when, her joys and sorrows became his concern.

His heartbeat accelerated, completely out of his control.

"Make a wish to me first. If it doesn't work, you can always ask God for help." His tone was calm but revealed a sense of dominance, as if there was nothing in the world that he couldn't handle.

Ye Yunzi looked at Shen Siyan, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, "There are some things you really can't do."

"Do you know who I am? As long as you open your mouth, I can give you whatever you want. Even if it's the entire bustling capital city, I can move it to you." Shen Siyan said sincerely and seriously, he was not joking.

The look in his eyes at this moment couldn't be more serious.

"Well, I know it very well." Ye Yunzi replied calmly and lowered her eyes slightly.

Of course she knows everything.

The most feared person in the capital is neither the ruthless Fourth Prince nor the unfathomable Seventh Prince... but the eldest brother in front of him who seems free and unrestrained and as handsome as Pan An.

His hands can control the chess game of the world.
