Rebirth on the wedding night, being doted on by the scumbag elder brother

Soon, Su Taigong's body was covered with silver needles.

After a while, his complexion improved, but he was still in a coma.

"I have controlled the poison, but we only have five days to find the mastermind," Tao Qiming reminded.

"I understand." Ye Yunzi nodded firmly and comforted her mother that her grandfather would be fine.

Seeing that his father's complexion had improved, Su finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, Ye Yunzi did not tell her mother the truth because she did not want to make her worry more.

In the days that followed, no matter what the cost, she would find out the culprit.

Back in the hall, Ye Yunzi faced Tao Qiming and said in a steady tone, "There is no trace of poison in the mansion, and anyone who has approached Grandfather has no chance to do anything."

Tao Qiming whispered to himself, "It looks like an outsider did it." He pondered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "This poison has a special bitter fragrance, which can only be found in the wood fragrance of exotic medicinal materials."

"Dimuxiang?" Ye Yunzi repeated.

"That's right. As long as we investigate the sales records of Dimu Xiang in all the medicine shops in the capital, we can find the person who poisoned the food." With the clue, Ye Yunzi took action immediately. She sent out the most alert people in the mansion to start the search.

The Su family has several herbal medicine shops in the city, and by utilizing these resources, the exploration work is progressing rapidly.

The next day, the servants reported that Deer Root was extremely rare and could not be used to treat common diseases, so only one store had a record of its purchase.

The shop owner said that the people who buy costusroot are not fixed, and they are always different strangers every time.

Ye Yunzi frowned, "Continue to monitor the pharmacy and track the whereabouts of the buyer."

At the same time, Tao Qiming also informed Shen Siyan of the situation, who expressionlessly ordered his subordinates to join the investigation.

Two days later, I finally found the answer.

Leng Xue reported: "Those who bought the ground costus root had no patients at home. After leaving the medicine shop, they all went to the same place, a tea house."

Ye Yunzi was surprised. "Teahouse? This is really unexpected."

Then I heard that a new buyer appeared today.

"Send someone to guard outside the tea house and see what happens next."

Leng Xue nodded and left.

Ye Yunzi was extremely anxious. Time was running out and her grandfather's life was in danger.

The person who appeared in front of the teahouse this time was a seemingly ordinary middle-aged woman, and there was nothing suspicious about her appearance.

At the same time, another group of people were also investigating the identity and background of this woman, hoping to find some clues.

In a small town, there lived a strong peasant woman. Her old mother and son were also very healthy and did not need any medicine at all.

That day, Leng Xue sat quietly in the teahouse, his eyes as cold as ice, staring closely at a middle-aged woman.

The woman looked around and then went into the private room.

Not long after, she left in a hurry.

Seeing this, Leng Xue acted quickly and slipped into the private room when the waiter wasn't paying attention.

The room was very simple, with only a table and four chairs, and it didn't look like there was anything special.

But Leng Xue was sure that the woman had hidden something called ground wood fragrance here, and it must have been placed in an inconspicuous place.

After a careful search, she finally found the wood fragrance wrapped in oil paper at the bottom of an empty vase.

It turns out that it was hidden under this seemingly ordinary vase.

Leng Xue thought about it and decided not to take Di Mu Xiang with her. Their goal was to find the person who used the poison, and leaving Di Mu Xiang behind was to lure the snake out of its hole.

So she continued to stand outside the private room, keeping a close eye on everyone who came in and out.

At noon, a pretty woman walked into the private room alone and left soon. When she walked out of the room, it was obvious that she had something in her sleeves.

Leng Xue's eyes lit up, and she knew that she had found the clue.

Leng Xue and her companions carefully followed the woman to make sure she was not aware that she was being watched.

In the end, surprisingly, the woman went straight back to the palace, and she turned out to be a maid in the palace.

After learning the news, Leng Xue immediately reported it to Ye Yunzi. Hearing that the other party was actually from the palace, Ye Yunzi frowned.

She realized that her grandfather's poisoning might be much more complicated than she had imagined.

The palace has abundant medicinal materials, so why does it have to obtain costus root from outside in such a covert way?

Unless it is used to make some special poison.

What made Ye Yunzi even more alert was that about half a month ago, her grandfather had entered the palace to play chess with the emperor, and he was in high spirits at that time.

But a few days later, my grandfather was suddenly poisoned.

There must be a connection between the two.

Recalling the scene of that day, Ye Yunzi remembered that her grandfather brought back a brocade box when he returned home, saying it was a reward from the emperor.

This detail may hold the key to the mystery.

Her heart suddenly sank, her face filled with solemnity, and she hurried to the study to look for the brocade box. The brocade box was placed on the bookshelf and could be seen at a glance.

She gently opened the box, but it was empty inside, leaving only a small groove, which obviously had once held something, but now there was nothing.

"What is in this brocade box?"

But no one knew the secrets it once hid.

Su Taigong was still unconscious and could not tell her the answer. After a moment of silence, Ye Yunzi realized that perhaps only people in the palace knew this secret.

So, she decided to seek help from the Seventh Prince. It seemed that there was no one else she could rely on except him.

When Baili Yan heard that Ye Yunzi came to see him, he couldn't help but feel happy. Although she just needed help, he was very happy to help.

"What do you want from me?" he asked directly, looking at her with sharp eyes.

The situation at the Su Mansion was extremely urgent. Ye Yunzi had no time for small talk. She directly handed the brocade box to Baili Yan and explained her request: "This was brought back from the palace by my grandfather. I don't know who sent it, or what's inside. I hope you can help me find out."

Baili Yan took the brocade box, examined it carefully, and suddenly said, "I think this thing looks familiar."

Baili Yan thought for a moment and pointed at the groove and explained: "There seems to be a brocade box in my father's study. It turns out that there is a health-preserving pill here, which is specially made by the imperial physician of the palace, which helps to strengthen the body.

Since my father took this medicine, his mental state has improved a lot, but why do you care about this? "

Hearing this, Ye Yunzi was almost certain: it was this health-preserving pill that poisoned her grandfather. But how could the health-preserving pill used by the emperor contain toxins? Could it be that someone deliberately replaced the medicine in order to poison her grandfather?

This series of thoughts shocked Ye Yunzi, and her face turned paler.

Things became more and more confusing, and Ye Yunzi was confused.

If the emperor intended to harm someone, he could just order the execution directly. Why would he use such a troublesome method as poisoning?

Seeing Ye Yunzi's pale face, Baili Yan asked with concern: "Yunzi, what's wrong with you?"
