"It's almost noon, let's go back." Ye Yuanxi didn't continue to turn around, the information that should be mastered was mastered, and the next thing was to think about how to poison it.

When they returned, they took a road that they had not walked before, and when they reached a courtyard, two people came out of it. A small man dressed as a servant was startled when he saw them, and hurriedly locked the courtyard door.

There was a middle-aged man standing next to the little guy, looking at the clothes and the medicine box on his shoulder, Ye Yuanxi guessed his identity.

Ye Yuanxi silently wrote down this location, and then looked up at the words on the door, West Courtyard.

Doctor Xu and the little maid saluted Ye Yuanxi, and then took the first step.

Ye Yuanxi walked out of a distance with the people around him, and then pretended to ask casually, "Who lives in the west courtyard?" ”

The two maidservants glanced at each other, and a little evasion flashed on their faces, and after a while, someone replied: "The slaves and maidservants don't know either, but I heard that it is an old friend of the son." ”

Ye Yuanxi saw their reactions, so he didn't continue to ask.

Although Xing Gongzi is Miss Qin's cousin, the two of them look closer than ordinary cousins and sisters, and it is impossible for Hou Ye not to see what can even be seen by her, who has met once.

But not only did Master Hou not stop them from coming and going, but he also lived here, and there must be a hidden secret.

There is also the important person witness that Qingyun said, since he has already found it, why not send it over at the beginning, but wait until two days later? Unless this ID card can't walk now, such as sick? Injured?

A slight confident smile flashed in Ye Yuanxi's eyes, it seemed that her luck was not bad, and she didn't make a mistake in getting close to King An. If it weren't for King An, she wouldn't have come here, and she wouldn't have discovered such a big secret.

At this moment, she was even more determined to poison herself.

"I don't seem to have a well in the courtyard, but there is a river not far from the courtyard, where do you get your water on weekdays?" After returning to the residence, Ye Yuanxi said casually.

The maids shook their heads, and one of them explained, "No, there are two wells in the kitchen, and you didn't go there just now, so you didn't see them." ”

Ye Yuanxi nodded to indicate that he understood.

Poisoning everyone's food directly is difficult for her to do on her own. Then you can only start from the water source, but she doesn't bring much poison, and she puts it into the well and is eaten by many people, so I don't know how effective it can be?

"It's already past noon, the prince shouldn't come back for lunch, you guys should also retreat, I'm tired and want to rest for a while." Ye Yuanxi looked at the empty room, and waved his hand to the two people next to him.

Late at night, on the third watch, when everyone went to sleep, the whole courtyard fell into a deep sleep.

Ye Yuanxi, who was exhausted by the toss, got up from the bed lightly, got dressed tremblingly, and lit incense in the house before going out.

During the day, she had already visited the garden, and she knew where the kitchen was located, which was a little far away from where they lived, and there were still a few guards patrolling around at night.

Ye Yuanxi was terrified along the way, and was almost found on the way, but fortunately she hid in time. The two guards wandered around her for a quarter of an hour, and when they saw that they didn't find anything, they let their guard down and went on patrol elsewhere.

Ye Yuanxi narrowly escaped the catastrophe, gritted his teeth and walked towards the kitchen. Originally, she only needed to walk a distance of one stick of incense, but it took her half an hour to get there. The door of the kitchen was still locked, and she searched around the courtyard wall for a while only to find a dog hole in the corner.

After hesitating for a long time, he really didn't want to climb into this kind of place.

She looked away again, there was nothing to climb on, and then she suddenly heard footsteps not far away, and it seemed that the nurse had found this place again. There was no place to hide near here, listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer, Ye Yuanxi suddenly gritted his teeth and burrowed into the dog hole with a sad face.

The other rooms in the kitchen were also locked, and next to each of the two wells was a half-man-high wooden barrel, and when the lid was lifted, there was still a small half-bucket of water left in it.

Ye Yuanxi didn't know if the water would be poured out tomorrow or continue to be used, so she poisoned both the well and the barrel.

Last night, she went back the same way, this time it went well, back to the bedroom to cover her mouth and nose first, extinguished the incense and disposed of the remnants, before lying back on the bed and falling asleep peacefully.

When I woke up the next day, everything was as usual, everyone had drunk water and had breakfast, but there seemed to be no reaction. Ye Yuanxi said that she was bedridden and had never washed or eaten or watered, but her appearance of not eating or drinking made King An anxious, and immediately called a doctor to treat her.

Ye Yuanxi was already weak, and Dr. Xu couldn't find out the cause, so he could only blame it on the wind blowing the mountain and catching a cold, prescribed a dose of medicine, and told her to recuperate.

Ye Yuanxi spent most of the day in bed, watching the maids who came in and out safe and sound, and even His Royal Highness King An, who rarely went out to guard her side, did not react, and couldn't help but make her anxious.

Is the amount of poison too small? It's really half of the drug's effect, and it's time for them to do it in a few hours.

Ye Yuanxi gritted her teeth and didn't eat or drink, and even the boiled medicine was "unintentionally" knocked over by her, so King An asked his subordinates to boil it again. Book Bar

Ye Yuanxi looked at King An, who was sitting not far away reading a book, and fell asleep unconsciously.

When I opened my eyes again, it was getting dark outside, but there was no light in the house. But His Royal Highness King An was still sitting in the distance, but he seemed to be asleep in the chair, and the book in his hand fell to the ground.

Ye Yuanxi suddenly stirred, his face couldn't hide his joy, and he called a few times softly, "Wang Ye", but Wang Ye did not react. She called the people outside, but no one answered for a long time.

It seems that the poison has worked.

Ye Yuanxi hurriedly got off the bed, dressed up and walked out, all the servants in their courtyard had fallen, she went to try her breath, and everyone was still breathing. For some reason, I was slightly relieved.

She walked around the courtyard, found no sober people, and finally completely relieved.

Then came to Xinghui Garden, there were people lying inside and outside the house, and finally found the fainted Hou Ye and Ye Jinyu in the flower hall, it seemed that the two of them were drinking tea here.

Ye Yuanxi went to probe their snorts again, everyone was alive, stood there and hesitated for a moment, then squatted down and rummaged through the various places on Hou Ye's body, and finally touched a purse in his arms, and opened it was the tiger talisman that his father had always wanted to get.

Ye Yuanxi was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately took the tiger talisman into his arms.

She didn't know if these poisons would kill them in the end, but the matter had come to this point, and Hou Ye had to get rid of it.

Ye Yuanxi gritted his teeth and pulled out the dagger from his waist, Cheng Liang's blade flashed a cold light in the candlelight, crossing the man's closed eyes.

She raised the knife in her hand, and in an instant the blade was about to plunge into the man's chest. But at this moment, suddenly a force kicked her shoulder, and before she could be surprised, she flew two steps away and fell to the ground with a thud.

The pain felt so intense that it spread throughout her body, causing her to moan and struggle on the floor for a moment before she slowly recovered.

"Master Hou, are you okay?" At the same time, Ye Jinyu's anxious and concerned voice sounded in the flower hall.

Ye Yuanxi turned his head to look over in shock, but saw that the two people who were supposed to be lying on the ground got up from the ground unharmed.

In an instant, she understood that she had been fooled!

Ye Yuanxi felt a storm in his heart, and before he could wake up from the shock, he heard the door of the flower hall being slammed shut, followed by the sound of a lock.

Soon there were footsteps in the house, Ye Yuanxi sat on the ground and turned around, and suddenly saw His Royal Highness King An who came in at some point. The two looked at each other, and with a trace of regret and helplessness in His Royal Highness's eyes, he slowly walked to the main seat and sat down, but did not say a word.

"It turned out that you designed it...... Ye Yuanxi staggered up from the ground, his eyes swept over Ye Jinyu and Li Sui in anger, and finally stayed on King An's face for a few more moments before slowly retracting.

"So, now even Qingyun has betrayed me?" Ye Yuanxi chuckled, but there was only a sneer in his voice.

Li Sui looked at Ye Jinyu, Ye Jinyu immediately understood, turned to face Ye Yuanxi, and said softly: "Qingyun did not betray you, although the two letters you received before were indeed from her, but she also made the choice that would hurt you the least after weighing the pros and cons." ”

Ye Yuanxi smiled coldly, there was no trace of resentment and injury on her face that she was betrayed by someone close to her, but no one could see that her heart was dripping blood.

"Qingyun knows that your greatest wish in this life is to correct your mother's name, but all the sacrifices you have made now are too great, and she has always felt sorry for you. In the past, you had no choice, but now the prince and the marquis are willing to provide you with a second way. ”

Ye Jinyu saw that Ye Yuanxi's hard appearance finally showed a slight crack, and knew that she still cared very much about Qingyun's loyalty to her.

"Qingyun is a person who understands, the matter has come to this point, and you can't walk the same road as before. But if you return to Ye Mansion like this, you will only be abandoned in a corner. Qingyun can't bear to see your hard work this year go to waste, and after listening to the other path arranged by Hou Ye for you, he naturally knows which is the best choice for you. ”

"What the hell did you say to her?" Ye Yuanxi finally couldn't help but ask.

Ye Jinyu said: "You are now a member of His Royal Highness King An, if you are willing to return to Beijing with King An and correct your mother's name, we can help you complete it." ”

"No, I don't need others to meddle in my own affairs." Ye Yuanxi didn't think about it, and immediately refused.

Li Sui raised his hand to Ye Jinyu, signaling that she didn't need to say any more, and he said: "Miss Ye, according to Benhou's investigation, it was your father who forcibly married your mother back then, and your mother had already had a marriage contract with someone else. Within a few years, your father became suspicious of your mother, suspecting that she was still ...... the same as she had back then."

"Don't say it, what do you know, what do you know?" Ye Yuanxi's eyes were red, and his voice interrupted him sharply, and soon his tone slowly eased again, "That's all rumors, it's those women in my father's backyard who are jealous of my mother, and they are slanderous, and they killed my mother, so that she will be infamous until she dies." ”

Li Sui listened to her finish speaking, and without waiting for her mood to stabilize, he spoke again, "After so many years, your father has six girls under his knees but none of them have a son, this is the most headache and embarrassment for your father, he has always wanted a son, right?" ”

The corners of Ye Yuanxi's mouth curled sarcastically, not knowing whether she was laughing at Hou Ye or her father.

"How's my daughter? What about boys? As a daughter, can't I also share his worries and solve problems? Ye Yuanxi's eyebrows suddenly burst out with a resolute and confident breath, "The Northern Imperial Dynasty has never restricted women from entering the ranks, it is a rare number of female officials in all dynasties, but they are famous for centuries." I was going to show my father that they could do it, and so would I. ”
