C18 Uncover

After everyone had left, Fourth Master asked, "Wangyou, what do you think is wrong with Honghui?"

"Master, I saw something, but I need to check my pulse to know more." Ye Zixuan replied cautiously.

Even though the system had detected and given her a quest to uncover this conspiracy.

But she had to pretend she didn't know, so as not to arouse suspicion.

Fourth Baroness was alarmed when she heard that. She quickly pulled Honghui over and examined her from head to toe before asking anxiously, "Honghui, is there anything wrong with your body?"

Honghui glanced at Ye Zixuan, then shook her head at Fourth Baroness. "Mother, your son is fine."

"Then quickly take Honghui's pulse." Fourth Master urged. He had high hopes for this legitimate son of his.

Honghui bit her lips and reluctantly reached out her hand. However, he didn't dare to disobey Father's orders.

He didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him, but this Princess Ye was alarmist and wanted to use this opportunity to please Father.

Ye Zixuan pretended to take Honghui's pulse and asked, "Brother Honghui, have you been feeling unusually high-spirited recently? You only need to eat and sleep a little every day to feel energetic, and your strength has increased and your memory has become very good as well?"

Fourth Master's expression changed drastically as he felt a bad feeling in his heart. There must be something wrong with this situation. As long as he ate less and slept, he would be full of energy. No matter how he listened, it would not be a good thing.

Fourth Baroness's way of thinking was exactly the opposite. She didn't sound like there was anything wrong with her words, and instead thought that it was a good thing.

She had the same thoughts as Honghui. She thought that Princess Ye was purposefully trying to intimidate him by taking the opportunity to invite her over.

The way she looked at Ye Zixuan also turned cold.

Normally, no matter how much these concubines fought or fought, as long as it didn't threaten her position and didn't make a move against Honghui, she would be able to tolerate it.

However, this Ye Zixuan actually dared to use Honghui to make a raft to fight for a favor. This was something that she could not allow.

It seemed like this woman could not be left alive!

"How is Honghui?"

Fourth Master asked coldly.

"Honghui Ah Ge has been poisoned!" Ye Zixuan's words shocked Fourth Master and Fourth Baroness.

"What did you say?" "What kind of poison did Honghui suffer from?"

Fourth Baroness had suspected that Ye Zixuan was up to no good, but when she thought about it again, this Ye Zixuan definitely didn't have the guts to lie about such things.

"This is a rare type of strange poison. It's called a burning lamp. If we compare the human body to a lamp, then that person's lifespan would be the lamp oil.

But lamp oil is not endless, in order to save lamp oil, will not be turned on very bright.

The burning lamp is to artificially fill up the lamp oil, turn on the lamp wick, accelerate its burning, the surface looks like the light is bright, but in fact, the burning is their own life.

After all, how could a normal person not have to eat or sleep to be full of energy?

If this goes on, in less than two or three years, the oil will dry up. "

Ye Zixuan patiently explained that this poison was very rare and couldn't be detected even by taking one's pulse. If she hadn't seen it in the Poison Collection, and the System had detected it, she really wouldn't be able to recognize it.

"How do I cure this poison?" Fourth Master could tell that something was wrong from Ye Zixuan's expression.

Fourth Baroness was also nervously staring at Ye Zixuan.

"This …" Ye Zixuan glanced at Honghui hesitantly.

"Speak frankly. Honghui is the eldest son of this grandpa. She will have to take on a great responsibility from now on. She can't be timid or cower in the face of danger."

When Fourth Baroness heard this, she looked at Honghui with a pained expression and helplessly compromised.

Since there were no objections from the patients' families, Ye Zixuan naturally had something to say.

"While this poison is said to be extremely difficult to cure, it is also extremely difficult to cure."

Ye Zixuan said helplessly.

"Why do you say that?" Fourth Master frowned.

"This isn't difficult to solve because I've seen the antidote for this poison in an ancient book fragment. I've heard that it's difficult because the main ingredient of this recipe is a beauty in the snow that's hard to find."

Ye Zixuan felt helpless.

What's the use of having a prescription but not having any medicine?

This was truly a difficult situation to deal with!

"Beauty in the snow?" Fourth Master had never heard of this name before.

"Red in the snow is a plant that grows on top of snowy mountains. The flowers it blooms with are extremely bright and dazzling. It is especially conspicuous in the snow, hence its name.

It had sprouted from the ice and snow, sucking in all of the poison as it grew. It could be said to be the coldest, coldest poison in the world, but it was a good medicine to restrain the poison.

But this medicine had not been seen for many years.

"Because the prescription uses poison to fight poison, the medicinal ingredients on it are all poisonous. However, through a precise ratio, they can neutralize each other's medicinal properties. This method is extremely dangerous, so I do not dare to randomly replace any medicinal ingredients."

"Is there no other way?" Fourth Master asked unwillingly.

Ye Zixuan shook her head.

"That's impossible, that's impossible!" There must be a way! "Master, Princess Ye has no other choice. We'll call in another doctor, we'll call in an imperial physician. There must be a way." Fourth Baroness glared fiercely at Ye Zixuan as she screamed.

Fourth Master looked at Ye Zixuan silently.

"Master, you'd better ask another doctor to have a look. There may be other methods, but the number of people who have heard of this flame lamp is extremely small. Moreover, they won't be able to tell that they have been infected by this poison.

"

Ye Zixuan looked at Honghui's frightened and ruddy face and couldn't bear it anymore. She was just a child a few years old. In her previous life, she had only just entered primary school, but here, she was already considered half an adult.

"Su Peisheng, go get the imperial physician!" Fourth Master ordered Su Peisheng loudly.

"Yes, your servant will go immediately!" Su Peisheng hurriedly answered. At this moment, his heart was in turmoil. If what Princess Ye said was true, then the Wu Steel Manor would have a river of blood this time.
