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

Outside the palace, Baili Yan's face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm. When he saw Nanfeng, he handed him a prescription. "Get the medicine according to this prescription."

"As you command." Nan Feng took the prescription and then reported the results of the investigation: "No one that Your Highness ordered to be investigated has survived. Some died of illness, and some drowned accidentally."

Hearing this news, Baili Yan smiled bitterly, his eyes full of sarcasm, and he whispered to himself: "It's really neat and tidy."

His mother, the gentle and virtuous woman who had spent twenty years in the harem, had also disappeared so cleanly? This discovery made Baili Yan feel heartbroken, full of doubts and anxiety.

If he is not of royal blood, then who is he?

With his fists clenched tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, Baili Yan ordered: "Nanfeng, help me do something."

"Please give instructions, Your Highness."

When Baili Yan returned with the medicinal herbs, Tao Qiming was instructing an old lady to use a special method to boil the herbs.

This drug is extremely valuable and its effectiveness will be greatly reduced if it is not handled in a specific way.

After carefully boiling it, the old nanny fed the medicine to Concubine Xian who had just woken up.

After taking the medicine, Empress Xian's complexion improved slightly, no longer as pale as before. "Madam, do you still remember me?" the old nanny asked softly, her eyes full of concern.

Empress Xian sat there quietly, staring at the old nanny for a moment, then a gentle smile appeared on her face. She turned to Aliang and said, "Aliang, how about I take you to eat something delicious?"

Aliang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt relieved.

In fact, the most urgent task is to detoxify Concubine Xian.

But when she saw Concubine Xian's gentle smile, she felt a surge of warmth in her heart. So she nodded, her voice soft but with obvious relief, "Okay."

This scene made the old lady sigh.

"The poison in the Queen's body is not so easy to remove. It requires multiple acupuncture treatments to completely remove it." Tao Qiming explained.

"Thank you for your hard work, doctor." Empress Xian thanked politely.

The old maid bowed slightly and said, "I will prepare a room for the doctor right away."

Since Tao Qiming was disguised as a woman, he was not actually a woman, so he had to find another place to live. Being alone was just what he wanted, and he could also study the toxins. He had found the reason for his failure last time, so he would definitely succeed this time.

Ye Yunzi realized that she could not help much if she stayed here.

Moreover, staying in the palace for too long would inevitably arouse criticism, so he said goodbye to Baili Yan and planned to wait until Concubine Xian recovered before taking Tao Qiming away.

Baili Yan nodded and said goodbye. The two walked side by side, keeping a certain distance.

"Your Highness seems to be worried about something?" Ye Yunzi looked ahead and asked softly.

Baili Yan moved his lips slightly and glanced at her sideways, only to see that her profile was gentle and charming.

Ye Yunzi happened to turn around, and their eyes met. Her eyes were as clear as water, and she had no special feelings for him, just treating him as an ordinary friend.

"Please rest assured, I will not let Empress Xian be in danger again this time..." The last few words were almost inaudible, and only Baili Yan, who had sharp hearing, could barely catch them.

This time?

Baili Yan looked haggard, and paced back and forth anxiously outside Concubine Xian's palace, his steps were unsteady and his eyes were empty.

He used to be the prince who was filial, affectionate and focused on state affairs.

Now, he even began to doubt his own identity.

His mother accidentally revealed the secret of his life experience. The more he investigated, the more complicated things became. He wanted to find out the truth, but was afraid of the answer. What if he was not of royal blood?

His hands were shaking and his whole body was cold.

He couldn't sleep at night these days. This incident was like a thorn in his heart. As time went by, the pain became more and more unbearable.

After a long time, Baili Yan finally stopped.

He tightly grasped the thing in his sleeve, made up his mind, and stepped forward.

Just then, the old nanny came out with a medicine bowl. Seeing Baili Yan coming over, she quickly bowed respectfully, "Your Highness."

Baili Yan stared at the old lady with a sharp gaze, and said in a low voice: "Mammy, I have something to ask you."

"Your Highness, is there anything wrong?" the old nanny asked softly.

"Follow me." Baili Yan turned around, his behavior was very different from usual and seemed particularly mysterious.

Although the old nanny felt confused, she did not think too much about it. She handed the bowl of medicine in her hand to the palace maid beside her and followed Baili Yan.

They walked into an empty room.

"Your Highness." the old nanny called.

She watched the Seventh Prince grow up, and her feelings for him had long surpassed that of master and servant. No matter what he ordered, she was willing to do her best.

Baili Yan did not respond, but slowly walked towards the incense burner and quietly sprinkled some powder under the cover of his sleeve. The old lady standing at the door did not notice this action.

Soon, a faint fragrance spread.

"Your Highness, what do you want to see me for?" the old nanny asked again.

"Mammy, how long have you been with my mother?" Baili Yan turned around and asked calmly.

"Ever since the Empress was still the young lady of the Li family, I have been serving her and witnessed her growth. It has been more than 30 years now..." the old nanny replied as she recalled.

"That is to say, you have never left mother's side in all these years?"

"That's right." The old lady replied respectfully.

As the incense in the room became stronger and stronger, Baili Yan's expression remained calm, but there was a hint of depth in his eyes. "Then you should know everything about mother."

The old lady obeyed Baili Yan's words, but for some reason, her voice began to become vague and distant, her thoughts gradually became confused, and her body felt unusually heavy, "Yes."

The Seventh Prince's voice seemed to be getting farther and farther away, and finally disappeared.

Baili Yan stared at the old lady, only to see that her eyes were empty and she was staring blankly ahead, as if she had lost consciousness.

"Mammy?" he called tentatively.

"I'm here," the old lady replied mechanically.

"what your name?"

"Tweety."

Baili Yan shook his sleeves lightly, and a small oil-paper bag fell out. "This drug that makes people confess the truth is indeed effective."

It turned out that while asking Nanfeng to get medicine for his mother, he also specially prepared a special kind of medicine powder.

Today, those who knew the secret are no longer alive. The only person who may know the truth is this old man who has served my mother for a long time.

In order to know the truth of the matter, this is the only way.

Baili Yan raised his head and locked his eyes with the old nanny, "When Empress Xian gave birth, were you there?"

The old maid's eyes were blurred, and she answered mechanically: "Yes, I was with the madam at that time."

"Then..." Baili Yan tried to ask the question that had been bothering him for a long time, but the words were stuck at his lips and he couldn't say them.
