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

He sighed, his mind full of doubts. Who on earth wanted to hurt his mother through him?

If the spices had not been found to be poisonous today, the consequences would be disastrous. Thinking of this, he clenched his fist unconsciously.

"Mother...you will be safe." Baili Yan comforted.

But Empress Xian was still restless and kept calling her daughter's name.

Suddenly, she raised her head and looked directly at Baili Yan.

Baili Yan tried to put on a comforting smile, "Mother, your son is here, you will be fine."

However, Empress Xian's eyes seemed very unfamiliar, as if the person standing in front of her was a total stranger. She stared at Baili Wei and asked, "Who are you? Why do you call me mother?"

"Mother, I am your son, Yan'er!" Baili Yan said anxiously.

"No..." Empress Xian shook her head and denied with trembling lips, then pushed Baili Yan away with such force that he almost fell.

"Mother..."

"No, you are not my child. I only have one daughter, my precious daughter." There was madness in Empress Xian's voice.

Looking at the mother who seemed to have lost her mind, Baili Yan tried to calm down and talk to her.

At this time, Empress Xian looked down at her hands with a dazed look in her eyes: "My little princess was so quiet when she was born, with skin as white as snow. I also placed a night-shining pearl next to her, hoping that she could be like that pearl and shine in any situation..."

Hearing these words, Baili Yan was stunned.

My mother mentioned the night pearl, the treasure that she took good care of every day and never let anyone else touch.

He had curiously asked about its origins many times in the past, but never got an answer.

Just as she was thinking about a thousand things, Empress Xian suddenly hugged her head in pain, her expression twisted, "It hurts so much..."

Then she rushed to the pillar next to her and banged her forehead against it, making a dull sound.

At this moment, all the secrets about the Night Pearl caused waves in Baili Yan's heart.

Baili Yan's mother always avoided talking about the pair of night pearls, and only occasionally mentioned that they were originally a pair.

He thought the other bead was missing, but the truth made him feel cold all over and his hands began to tremble involuntarily.

If the mother had given one to her daughter, who was he then? The question troubled his mind.

Just as Baili Yan stood there in a daze, an old maid rushed in from outside. Seeing Concubine Xian banging her head against the wall, she was so scared that she quickly stepped forward and hugged her, "Madam, don't do this... You will hurt yourself."

The old nanny was extremely anxious and tried to comfort Concubine Xian.

In the blink of an eye, he found that Baili Yan, who was originally standing in the house, had disappeared.

Baili Yan left the palace with a gloomy face and a head full of doubts.

He was confused by the sad look in his mother's eyes when she mentioned the past and the gentle expression on her face when she called her daughter's name.

If there really was a younger sister, she should have been canonized as a princess and well taken care of, but there is no such record in the palace.

After leaving the palace, Ye Yunzi went directly to Ningcaotang to look for Tao Qiming.

At that time, Tao Qiming was trying to prepare a new medicine, and the whole room was filled with a pungent smell.

Seeing Ye Yunzi appear, Tao Qiming was surprised: "Huh? Why are you here?"

After hearing that she came for help and learning that the patient was suffering from complex poisons and was in critical condition, Tao Qiming immediately showed great interest.

"Mixed poison? Great, take me to see it!" he said excitedly.

Ye Yunzi felt helpless and amused about Tao Qiming's abnormally excited attitude in the face of a serious illness, but she could only lead him to go and save people.

"We can't rush this, Doctor Tao. If I want to see the patient, I'll have to trouble you to make some preparations."

"What preparations?" Tao Qiming was anxious and wanted to fly to the poisoned person immediately.

Ye Yunzi slowly revealed her plan of disguise.

Upon hearing this, Tao Qiming's eyes widened: "You want me to dress up as a woman? This is absolutely not possible. I am a man, how can I do this!"

He shook his head firmly in refusal.

Ye Yunzi just smiled slightly and didn't say much.

The next morning.

At the door, Ye Yunzi looked in with a hint of curiosity. Aliang also seemed very curious and looked over from time to time.

Finally, the door creaked open.

A woman in a green dress came out. She was slender and well-proportioned, with a pretty face and a heroic air.

Ye Yunzi smiled and praised: "Doctor Tao is really an expert. Even his transformation into a woman is so perfect!"

The woman pouted, obviously not liking such compliments.

Aliang looked at the person in front of him in surprise. He examined him carefully from head to toe, but could not recognize that this was Tao Qiming. It was unbelievable.

Tao Qiming snorted, "Let's go! If it wasn't for dealing with that rare poison, I wouldn't do this."

Ye Yunzi smiled and said nothing. She had expected that Dr. Tao would agree. Just mentioning rare poisons would be enough to attract his attention.

……

Afterwards, Ye Yunzi led Aliang and the dressed-up Tao Qiming into the palace.

As for why she brought Aliang with her, she had thought it through carefully: in case the Fourth Prince or Shen Yuming tampered with the poison again after Concubine Xian was detoxified, it would be safer to have someone to take care of them; and as Tao Qiming was a man, it was not convenient for him to treat him directly, so it would be much more convenient to have Aliang's assistance.

Aliang himself also agreed to the task.

Baili Yan led them to the palace where Concubine Xian lived.

"How is Concubine Xian doing these two days?" Ye Yunzi asked as they walked.

Baili Yan was uneasy, as if he was thinking about something.

"Your Highness?" Ye Yunzi called softly.

This brought Baili Yan back to his senses, "Oh, what did you say?"

Looking at his bloodshot eyes, it was obvious that he hadn't slept well for several days. Ye Yunzi felt a little pity in her heart. Even a noble prince would be anxious when facing the pain of his relatives.

"Your Highness, please rest assured that Doctor Tao will do his best to help Empress Xian detoxify."

Baili Yan responded in a muffled voice, and his expression looked a little strange when he mentioned Concubine Xian.

Enter Empress Xian’s bedroom.

Tao Qiming couldn't suppress his curiosity along the way. As soon as he entered the room, he went straight to Empress Xian and started taking her pulse without even saying hello.

The old lady looked at his actions with a puzzled look on her face. She turned to Ye Yunzi and asked, "Is this Doctor Tao?"

"That's right. Doctor Tao is an excellent doctor and has cured many people, including my mother, thanks to him."

Although the old nanny did not doubt Dr. Tao's ability, she was muttering in her heart: He is obviously a man, why does he look like a delicate girl?

Tao Qiming was concentrating on taking Empress Xian's pulse, and Empress Xian was exceptionally quiet today, sitting quietly and allowing him to be treated.

After a while.

"It is indeed a highly toxic mixture of crabapple flowers and wood root bark. Fortunately, it has not yet penetrated into the bone marrow..." Tao Qiming said in a male voice.
