"Okay, go down," said the emperor.

Doctor Tian withdrew and returned to the Imperial Hospital. Thinking that his poisoning plan had failed, he hesitated at the door.

The Fourth Prince hid in the Imperial Hospital, keeping a close eye on the movements in the palace. Imperial Doctor Tian needed to report to him the failure of this operation.

Doctor Tian looked pale and his hands were shaking. After a while, his apprentice reminded him, "Master, the master has been waiting for you in there for a long time."

Doctor Tian responded, took a deep breath, mustered up his courage and walked in.

When Baili Ye learned that the poisoning had failed and Baili Yan was unharmed, he was so angry that he smashed the table in front of him with one palm.

"You are a bunch of losers! You can't even knock someone unconscious!"

Doctor Tian was so frightened that he dared not say a word and his whole body was shaking.

"Tell me, what's the point of me keeping you?" Baili Ye looked at Doctor Tian coldly, his eyes full of murderous intent.

"Your Highness, please spare my life! Please spare my life!" Doctor Tian immediately knelt down and begged.

"Give me another chance, I will definitely complete the task!"

"Give you another chance? He's already awake, how could you possibly poison him again!"

Baili Ye was extremely angry and felt that this opportunity was too precious and should not be wasted.

The air in the Imperial Hospital seemed to be frozen. Doctor Tian knelt on the ground, trembling all over; his apprentice stood beside him, not daring to even breathe.

After a long time, Baili Ye asked, "Did Shen Yuming discover your plan?"

"Yes." Doctor Tian agreed repeatedly.

"It was almost successful, but Lord Shen suddenly showed up and wanted to find someone to test the medicine, so I had to stop."

"Shen Yuming, it turned out to be him!"

Baili Ye clenched his fists, his heart was surging. The deeper his trust in Shen Yuming was, the stronger his hatred was now, even more than his hatred for Baili Yan.

Shen Yuming not only knows many secrets, but also has insight into the future and obviously knows the true identity of Doctor Tian. The operation failed because he ignored Shen Yuming's existence.

"Shen Yuming, this insidious villain! My negligence led to all this. It seems I have to get rid of him first." Baili Ye's eyes flashed, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Shen Yuming also realized the seriousness of the situation.

If Imperial Physician Tian returned to the capital to report to the Fourth Prince, the latter would certainly regard him as a great enemy. As a minor official, he was almost powerless to resist the Fourth Prince's plot.

After learning about this, Baili Yan immediately dispatched secret guards to protect Shen Yuming.

In his heart, Shen Yuming's position is irreplaceable, and ensuring his safety is of vital importance.

"Don't worry, the Fourth Prince will never harm a hair on your head!" Baili Yan patted his chest and assured, saying it solemnly.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Shen Yuming accepted the protection without refusing it. Before all the hidden dangers were eliminated, he knew that he was in danger and must not make the same mistake again. This time he had to survive to the end.

"Miss Ye, we will be able to return to the capital in two days." Tao Qiming handed Ye Yunzi a water bag. After more than half a month of travel, he looked stronger.

"Thank you."

Ye Yunzi took the water bag and a rare smile appeared on her face. Ever since she left the capital, she had been worried about Shen Siyan's safety, and now she could finally go back.

She felt much more relieved when she thought that Doctor Xue was able to identify the poison in Si Yan and that the hope of saving him had greatly increased.

The group stopped by the roadside to rest and eat some dry food. Ye Yunzi took a deep breath of fresh air and looked at the mountains in the distance.

"Miss!" Leng Xue walked over quickly, holding a freshly caught pheasant in her hand.

"We were lucky today. We caught a pheasant. We can change our taste tonight."

When Tao Qiming saw the pheasant, his eyes lit up and he praised her repeatedly: "Miss Leng, you are amazing! You can actually catch a pheasant."

Thinking of the delicious food tonight, he couldn't help swallowing.

Leng Xue's expression changed slightly. After traveling together for a long time, she was no longer so indifferent. "Well, let's eat pheasant tonight."

"Great! I'll go get some firewood right away!"

Tao Qiming suggested excitedly, and then ran to collect firewood, while Leng Xue began to prepare dinner.

Ye Yunzi looked at the two busy people, and a feeling of warmth and peace surged in her heart. Fortunately, everyone was safe.

Leng Xue's injuries have almost healed and she can move freely.

Ye Yunzi looked around and her eyes finally fell on the carriage. She noticed that Doctor Xue was concentrating on reading the book in his hand with a frown on his face.

"Oh, what a hassle! This poison is so hard to deal with!"

"Xianlan grass, this thing should be the key to the antidote."

Hearing the words "poison" and "fairy orchid grass", Ye Yunzi couldn't help but listen carefully.

She put down the water bag, walked forward and asked, "Doctor Xue, are you researching how to remove the poison?"

Doctor Xue looked up. "That's right! When I encounter such an interesting poison, I naturally have to study it carefully." The more difficult the problem was, the more excited he became.

Ye Yunzi frowned slightly and said seriously, "If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know."

"Yeah." Doctor Xue replied casually.

Seeing this, Ye Yunzi stopped bothering him and prepared to leave. At this moment, Doctor Xue suddenly called her.

"Little girl, do you know this grass?"

As he spoke, he pointed to the illustrations in the book.

Ye Yunzi lowered her head, looked carefully, and shook her head.

Although she had read many medical books and seen many herbs, she had never seen this herb before. It was snow-white, and its leaves were like blooming petals, bright green in color, very attractive.

"I don't know him." She answered honestly.

"This is fairy orchid." Doctor Xue explained.

"Xianlan grass is very rare, and this is the first time I have seen it. In the south, people believe it can cure all kinds of poisons, hence the name Xianlan grass."

"Fairy orchid!" Ye Yunzi repeated softly, then looked up and asked.

"Could it be that this herb is needed to cure Si Yan's poison?"

"You are very smart." Doctor Xue nodded in praise.

"Then, where can we find this herb?" Ye Yunzi felt anxious, because even Doctor Xue said that fairy orchid grass was hard to find, which meant that ordinary pharmacies would definitely not have it.

"This is indeed a difficult problem." Doctor Xue said, stroking his beard.

"Without fairy grass as the main ingredient, we can't prepare a drug to cure the poison."

Ye Yunzi clenched her fists and said, "I will send someone to look for it! No matter what the cost, we must find the fairy orchid grass."

Time was running out, and she was worried that Si Yan wouldn't be able to wait until that moment.

Just as she was thinking this, before she could open her mouth, Doctor Xue said, "It will be too late to look for it when we get to the capital."

"What should we do then?" Ye Yunzi asked in surprise.

"We can take a detour to where the fairy orchid grows to collect it."

Doctor Xue opened the map and pointed to a marked point.

"This is Wanya Valley. It is the only place in the entire empire where fairy orchids grow. But it is very dangerous there, and it is extremely difficult to collect herbs. If you are afraid, you can go back to the capital first and send someone else."
