"Thank you, Mr. Changsun, for sending me back home."

The two went back to Nanfu from Xishui Street to pick up Huo Baoer, and then came back in the carriage of Houfu. It was late at night when they arrived at Houfu.Wei Zhao was saying goodbye to Changsun Ke, when suddenly another carriage from the mansion was approaching in a hurry, Wei Xuan's personal servant Ah Jin hurriedly reined in the horse, and then a doctor with a medicine box got out of the carriage.

Wei Zhao was startled: "Ah Jin, what happened?"

Ah Jin was sweating profusely: "Young Master Sun is suffering from a sudden illness, and he has sought several doctors one after another, but they can't do anything, and the son is going crazy."

"Yuan'er!" Wei Zhao stamped anxiously, and trotted all the way to Wei Xuan's yard.

The courtyard was brightly lit, and the members of the Wei family stood guard in the outer hall, each looking anxious.

"Father, brother, what's the situation? Yuan'er was fine this morning, why suddenly..."

Wei Xuan's eyes were red, and he said in a hoarse voice: "I don't know, Ah Wu took him to Changjie's palace today, and when he came back he was fine, and told me how fun it is in the palace and how sister Changle is. Good. But who knows, I just had dinner, and suddenly my whole body twitched, screaming for pain."

The doctor Ah Jin found had also seen Wei Yuan at this moment, and shook his head apologetically like the previous doctors.

Wei Xuan's legs went limp, and she slumped on the chair.

"I don't know if I can ask me to take a look."

Wei Zhao turned his head abruptly when he heard the words, and saw that it was Chang Sun Ke: "You didn't leave?"

"I heard that Young Master Sun of your mansion is unwell. Although I am not a doctor, I am proficient in poison techniques, so I may be able to see something."

Wei Xuan seemed to be grasping at the last straw, and stood up abruptly from the chair.

"If the eldest grandson can save the dog's life, Wei Xuan must remember the kindness, and if there is a need in the future, he will be willing to do so."

"Wei Shizi doesn't have to be like this, it's just a matter of little effort."

Qin Wu's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and he stayed by the bed.Seeing that Wei Xuan brought someone in, she hurriedly got up and moved out of the way.

Wei Yuan had already fainted, his small face like a ball was a little bruised, his thin body still twitched from time to time, his small brows were tightly frowned, as if he was enduring great pain.

Wei Zhao loved his little nephew the most, seeing this scene, his eyes immediately turned red.

When Changsun Ke approached, he suddenly smelled a faint fragrance of orchid, which was a little strange.He searched around Wei Yuan, and sure enough he found a light purple sachet under his pillow.Open the sachet, there are several candied fruits inside.

"This...I only gave Yuan'er three that day, and he gave another one to my second brother. There is no way there are so many more." Wei Zhao was startled: "Did someone use this candied fruit to trick Yuan'er?" !"

Chang Sun Ke put the candied fruit on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and said, "The candied fruit itself is not poisonous. What is poisonous is the orchid grass in the sachet."

"Orchid grass?"

Changsun Ke signaled Wei Zhao to send the idler away. Seeing his solemn expression, Wei Zhao knew that this thing was definitely not a good thing.

Wei Ru ordered the housekeeper to reward those doctors, sent them out of the mansion one by one, and then entered the back room.

Changsun Ke wanted to pay respects, Wei Ru raised his hand: "There is no need to be too polite. Master Changsun, what is this orchid grass?"

"The orchid grass has a single toxicity, and if you eat it by mistake, it will only cause unbearable abdominal pain. But the orchid grass in the sachet is soaked in the juice of other poisons, thus forming a new poison. This medicine mainly relies on taste It exudes medicinal properties, and it is a top... child-avoiding medicine."

"Anti-child medicine?!"

"That's right, this kind of anti-child medicine is harmless to the human body. It is only used during intercourse. If a woman smells the fragrance of the medicine, she will not be able to conceive. But Young Master Sun put the candied fruit in the sachet, and the candied fruit was stained with the orchid grass. Soak the poison and swallow it into the stomach, and then you will be poisoned."

"Is there a solution?"

Changsun Ke took out a pill from the medicine bottle he carried with him and gave it to Wei Yuan: "This is a detoxification pill, which can temporarily suppress the toxicity. This poison is not difficult to cure, but it takes some time to prepare the antidote. I will prepare the antidote tomorrow. The medicine will be delivered, Lord Hou can rest assured."

"Master Lao Changsun is here. I just don't know why such things appear in Yuan'er's hands?"

Qin Wu looked at the sachet, frowned and said, "This is not something from our Marquis's residence."

Changsun Ke looked at the sachet and said: "The sachet is made of exquisite materials and exquisite workmanship. The embroidered patterns on the surface are all made of five□□threads, and the pearls used at the mouth are also extraordinary. This must come from a noble family."

"Ding Quan!"

Ding Quan fell to his knees with a thump, and cried: "Master, I really don't know. After returning from the palace, Master Yuan sent the little one away, and I was alone in the room..."

"Every time Yuan'er steals desserts, you give him a watchful eye. Don't pretend that Mrs. Ben doesn't know, you still haven't told the truth!" Qin Wu sternly reprimanded.

Ding Quan looked at the little figure on the bed, his heart ached so badly, he simply broke his heart and said, "Master Yuan searched for a lot of candied fruits in the yard of the third master these two days, and hid them quietly. The young master complained about toothache, and the young one was afraid that Madam would find out, so he cried and begged Master Yuan not to eat candied fruit again."

"Master Yuan said that these candied fruits will be given to Princess Changle, so I specially prepared an exquisite box, and watched as Young Master Yuan put the candied fruit into it."

Qin Wu nodded and said: "That's true. Yuan'er gave Chang Le a box as soon as he entered the palace. Later, the two of them played around outside the palace, only the mother in the palace followed, and I talked with the eldest sister in the palace. However, I remember Yuan'er didn't have this sachet on him when he entered the palace."

Ding Quan said again: "Mrs. Mingjian, after Master Yuan left, I cleaned the inside and outside of Master Yuan's room very clean. I also know the place where Master Yuan usually hides things. I really haven't seen this sachet before." .”

"Yuan'er usually only stays at the mansion, and he only enters the palace today when he goes out recently..." Qin Wu exclaimed: "The thing inside this sachet is a child-proof medicine, could it be..."

"Your official has dealt with poison all the year round, and his sense of smell is also extremely sensitive. In addition to the fragrance of Orchid Grass, this sachet also has a hint of ambergris."

The room was instantly quiet, and a needle could be heard falling.

Wei Ru's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Thank you, Mr. Changsun, to detoxify this Marquis's grandson, and I will come to thank you tomorrow."

Changsun Ke handed the sachet to Wei Zhao and said goodbye.

"Shuhua, stay here to help your sister-in-law take care of Yuan'er. Xi'er, Zhao'er, your grandmother is still thinking about it, go and tell her that she's safe. Xuan'er, follow me to the study."

There was only the sound of wheels rolling in the quiet corridor of Hou Mansion, Wei Zhao pushed Wei Xi to the west across the courtyard.At this moment, the wind suddenly blew up, and the black clouds covered the moon, leaving only thick darkness.

Wei Zhao looked up, and the endless sky was like a bottomless whirlpool.As the wind blows, the vortex keeps surging, and everything in the world is inevitably sucked into the vortex, unable to get out.

"Two years ago, I also suspected that there was a problem in the palace. Someone must have given Elder Sister something. It's just that the famous doctor I found from outside said that Elder Sister's health is not serious, but prescribed some nourishing prescriptions. But the eldest sister still can't get pregnant. I thought those people were quack doctors, but I didn't expect the crux of the problem to be here. To find such a powerful medicine to avoid children, Li Huai is really capable."

"Since my grandfather joined King Qi's command, my Wei family has made great military exploits, is loyal and courageous, and has never let Da Qi down in the slightest. If the emperor fears that his father will hold a heavy army, Da Qi has millions of iron hooves. The Han family, the Qi family, Fei family, Lu family, which one is not heavily armed."

"Back then, when Li Huai planned to marry my elder sister, he just wanted to gain the support of the Marquis of Zhen Guo. Although his father didn't express his position clearly, he never intervened to stop her. The elder sister is dignified and gentle, and everyone in the Marquis family regards her as a treasure. What!"

Wei Zhao tightly gripped the armrest of the wheelchair, his knuckles turned white and creaked.

"Azhao, there has never been a fixed number of power struggles. When he was the prince, he used the prestige of the Marquis Mansion to intimidate the princes. After he ascended the throne, he suppressed the Marquis Mansion in turn to prevent his relatives from continuing to grow. It's just cruel to call Zhonggong Wuzi Absolutely. Maybe the Zhen Guohou Mansion still has something that he is very afraid of, besides military power."

Wei Zhao lost his temper: "Father told Eldest Brother to go to the study, presumably that's what he said. It's just that Father refused to call us, and according to Eldest Brother's temperament, he would definitely not tell us."

"We'll let us know when we should know. Azhao, your matter is still unresolved. At this time, you shouldn't add extra problems."

"Well, I listened to my second brother. So grandma didn't hide it first?"

Wei Xi shook his head: "Grandma can't hide such a commotion, so it's better to tell the truth. Grandma has experienced storms, she is wise and far-sighted. I think my father will go to grandma for advice in the end."

Wei Zhao slapped his forehead: "Look at me, I'm really confused, and my grandmother is crazy. Fortunately, my second brother reminded me that if I lie to her, I will definitely be skinned by my grandmother."

Wei Xi smiled lightly: "Grandmother can't bear it."

At the end of the day, the lights in the west courtyard were still on, and Mother Xu was coming out with the lantern.

"Mother Xu, is grandma asleep?"

Mother Xu sighed, with a worried face: "Where can I sleep well? This is not sending the old slave to die in the son's yard to inquire about it. I happened to meet the two young masters. I wonder if the situation of Young Master Sun has improved?"

"Nurse Xu, don't worry, the elder grandson has already seen Yuan'er, and said that he was poisoned. Prepare the antidote, and the poison will be detoxified tomorrow."

Mother Xu was determined: "Thank God, Young Master Sun has great blessings, and he will surely save the day. The old lady is waiting, please come in quickly, the two young masters, and the old slave will make a pot of tea."

Old Mrs. Wei is nearly seventy years old, and now she has been up late into the night, she is a little exhausted, but she is still trying her best to hold on.Worried, his face became more haggard.

Wei Zhao stepped forward and rubbed Old Madam Wei's shoulders, and said softly, "Grandmother, your health is not good, if you suffer from Yuan'er, it will break Yuan'er."

The old lady Wei said: "When you are old, you are no more prudent than when you were young. If something happens to your children and grandchildren, you are always worried."

"Grandmother can rest assured now, Yuan'er is fine."

"What the hell is going on here? How could the good ones be poisoned?"

Wei Xi simply told Mrs. Wei what happened.

The warmth that flowed in Mrs. Wei's deep eyes suddenly dissipated, and was covered with a layer of cruelty that Wei Zhao had never seen before.

"Li Huai, you are too deceptive!"
