Well, the family ethics drama is going to be transformed into a suspense detective drama. Sure enough, Li Mingrui went and returned, and there were only three people left in the study, this is to discuss the plot? No, it's the case!

Seeing that the two of them didn't speak for a long time, Chang'an was a little anxious, and couldn't help but open his mouth first, "Fifth Highness, you went and came back because of that pot of flowers?"

Lee Ming-rui: ...... It was indeed for that pot of Youyu Xuanyu.

Chang'an: It's a pity that the flower is gone, perhaps, the mysterious person saw that the deeds were revealed, and took the flower away again?

Shen Yu: Maybe. (If so, then the Shen family's guards need to be strengthened.) ）

This matter has alarmed his father, and sent an envoy from He Yuan to investigate, Li Mingrui did not intend to continue to conceal it, and immediately confessed the existence of the secret hatred and the connection with Youyou Xuanyu.

Chang'an immediately asked what the problem was, and continued: That mysterious person knows that the eldest young master has been poisoned, and he still wants to use this to harm the eldest young master?

So, when and how did the eldest young master get poisoned? Why did the mysterious man know? You must know that no one in the Shen family knew that the eldest young master was poisoned, even if the second master and the second young master knew through a mystery that Youyou Xuanyu would poison the eldest young master, and they didn't know the existence of secret hatred at all.

Shen Yu: Twenty years ago...... After that incident, almost all of the Shen family's servants and subordinates were replaced. The re-selected servants have all been strictly vetted, and after Xiao Wu became my guard, my diet and daily life are basically not fake, and there are very few opportunities for poisoning, unless it is poisoned by Xiao Wu.

Changan:...... That's impossible! I'm not full! The eldest young master is my backer in the Shen family, and I am the one who doesn't want anything to happen to the eldest young master.

Besides, I have only been in the Shen family for ten years, and the poison of the eldest young master was twenty years ago.

Shen Yu: Twenty years ago?

Chang An was taken aback, and said with a smile, "Isn't this what the envoy said?" ”

Shen Yu didn't refute, what He Yuanenvoy said was 'It's been a long time' but didn't say the specific date, Xiao Wu was not born twenty years ago, so naturally it is impossible to be the one who poisoned him.

Shen Yu: Fifth Highness, how did you get this poison of secret hatred?

Li Mingrui: Secretly hating life is related to some secrets of my royal family, so it is inconvenient to mention it. It's just that now that Brother Shen has suffered this misfortune, I don't hide it, this secret hatred first appeared a hundred years ago......

This is consistent with the information obtained by Chang'an, and more information is that this poison will also spread through blood, so Chang'an seems to understand why the royal family pays attention to this poison.

Heredity? Mother-to-child infection? Then, it is no wonder that the throne of Tianyan has changed so quickly, and it has been passed down to five generations of emperors for more than a hundred years, and almost every generation of emperors has a short life.

This drug-making man is really terrible, a whole big pervert!

Chang'an: Then I know how the eldest young master was poisoned, it was a life-saving medicine flower twenty years ago!

The Netherworld Medicine Flower was watered with blood by the evil woman, and it must have been the evil woman herself who took the poison first and then poisoned the eldest young master in this way, if the eldest young master had something, her son Shen Yi would have one less of the biggest rivals.

Shen Yu: She was indeed poisoned by the secret hatred of life.

Chang'an: I don't understand, this kind of greedy for wealth and nobility has always been the most selfish, how can he sacrifice himself to fight for his son's rights? In her eyes, her son is probably just a bargaining chip in exchange for wealth.

But if she didn't know she was poisoned, who would poison her?

Was the poisoning just aimed at her or was there something else? Was the timing of poisoning intentional or unintentional? There are so many ways and opportunities to poison a servant girl who is about to be kicked out of the house......

And most importantly, where does the poison come from? This poison is no more than ordinary poison, you can get it anywhere, besides, the Fifth Highness said just now that this poison was extinct a hundred years ago......

When it came to 'extinction', Li Mingrui's expression was stunned, and his gaze wandered a little.

Shen Yu: What? What did His Highness think?

Lee Ming-rui: ...... That's impossible! (The only remaining bit of secret hatred in the palace is just for research purposes, how can it flow outside the palace?) ）

Shen Yu was just silent, his expression was a little sad, Chang'an looked at the two of them, and immediately guessed a few points, is it Princess Leyi? The emperor's sister, Li Mingrui's aunt?

Her Royal Highness the princess fell in love with Lord Shen Ye back then, but was rejected. Even though she was unwilling, Shen Ye and his wife had a deep affection, and as a princess of a country, she had her own pride and dignity, so she could only give up.

But one day, a humble maid was entangled with the eldest lord and had a child, and Her Royal Highness must have been very angry when she found out, and it was very possible to poison and punish and torture the maid.

The reason why it was chosen after childbirth, Chang'an guessed that first, the Shen family was so tight and inconvenient to take care of her during pregnancy, and the other was that Mrs. Shen attached great importance to her heirs.

After all, Shen Yu has suffered from heart disease since he was a child, and his father is unwilling to take a concubine and extend his heir, which is worth taking care of by the Shen family's bloodline.

The princess poisoned the maid and then ...... The poison was transferred to Shen Yu.

Next, maybe the servant girl's weakness caused the attack of secret hatred, or maybe the princess made her poison attack.

However, Chang'an thought about it more.

For example, there are many ways to punish, the princess wants to cut off the head of a servant, where is the reason? Why did you choose this secret hate? Because of its stealth? It doesn't seem necessary to deal with a maid, just have it at hand?

…… Or, this medicine is for Mrs. Shen?! Kill a rival because of love and hate? Just for some reason to delay the start? After poisoning a maid but accidentally injuring Shen Yu, he delayed or abandoned the plan even more?

Three years later, Mrs. Shen gave birth to Shen Yu's sister Shen Man, who was fine during childbirth, but died during postpartum conditioning, which is too illogical.

The Shen family is a rich man, how could this happen? Shen Man was not poisoned, so Mrs. Shen must have been poisoned after giving birth.

The young master Shen of Duyun Village has a heart disease, and it is normal for Her Royal Highness the Princess, who is a close friend of the Shen family and his wife, to come to visit as a sign of concern;

The third lady was born, and it is normal for Her Royal Highness the princess to appear in Duyun Village in the name of congratulations, and no one will suspect the princess, of course, no one knows how to doubt the poisoning, it is just an accident.

…… It's scary to think about!

"Back then, out of curiosity, I wanted to worship Ah Yi's biological mother...... I accidentally saw a black mark on her neck. ”

Shen Yu paused, took a deep breath, and said, "After my mother died, when I was buried for my mother, there was also a black plum blossom mark on my mother's wrist......"

Li Mingrui looked incredulous, the relationship between the imperial aunt and Uncle Shen has always been very good, and the two have not been estranged even if they have become families, so he and Shen Yu will become friends.

But what Shen Yu said made him have to doubt the possibility of this kind of thing happening.

How so? He didn't believe it! However, now that Shen Yu has said what he has said, that is, he will definitely investigate to the end? It might even ...... Enemies of the royal family? Li Mingrui's mind became more and more complicated.

"Does that mystery have anything to do with what happened twenty years ago?" Chang asked without seeing the stalemate between the two.

"There may or may not be." Shen Yu's voice was a little trance-like, thinking that he was recalling the old events of his childhood and the truth that he only learned ten years later, and he was extremely depressed.

"Oh, I didn't say it." Chang'an was dissatisfied.
