This is terrible! My future prime minister keeps trying to kiss me forcibly.

Chapter 150 Poisoning

Madam Qian lay listlessly on the bed, her lips pale and her cheeks faintly bluish-black.

"Mother, this is Xiao Xiao, whom I told you about. She is my good friend and also a highly skilled doctor. I asked her to come and take a look at you." Qian Ruoyun sat on the edge of the bed, leaning over to introduce her softly.

Madam Qian forced open her eyes and managed a weak smile: "So you are the Xiao Xiao that Ruoyun mentioned. She has been talking about you a lot. It's clear that you are a good girl."

Ye Xiaoxiao smiled in response and said, "Madam, let me take your pulse."

She frowned as she carefully diagnosed the pulse; it was weak and feeble, deep and feeble...

These are signs of poisoning!

Ye Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, her expression more serious than Qian Ruoyun had ever seen before.

Thinking of this, Qian Ruoyun's heart skipped a beat, her heart clenched tightly, and tears were about to fall.

Ye Xiaoxiao glanced at the servants in the room and gave Qian Ruoyun a wink.

Qian Ruoyun immediately understood and ordered everyone to leave and close the door.

Only the three of them remained in the room.

Qian Ruoyun's nose tingled and her eyes reddened: "Xiao Xiao, is my mother alright?"

Her heart was in her throat, terrified that the other person would say the outcome she didn't want.

Ye Xiaoxiao pinched her cheek and comforted her, "It's nothing, your mother was just poisoned. This little bit of poison is no problem for me. I'll write you a prescription later, and you can come with me to Wujitang to get the medicine."

Qian Ruoyun's eyes widened in surprise; she hadn't expected her mother to be poisoned.

She couldn't think of anyone else who would dare to poison someone right under everyone's noses, except for the one in the West Courtyard.

At this thought, a fierce fire ignited in Qian Ruoyun's eyes. She stood up, ready to find someone to settle the score.

Ye Xiaoxiao grabbed her and gestured for her to calm down.

"If you go to them so openly, you won't get anything out of it, since there are no witnesses and no physical evidence. Let's wait and see."

Qian Ruoyun couldn't swallow this insult; she couldn't tolerate that bitch making such a mess of her home.

She was filled with rage: "Xiao Xiao, that wicked woman is despicable! She actually tried to murder my mother! I can't tolerate it!"

"Alright, alright. Let her run wild for a few days first, so as not to alert her." Ye Xiaoxiao hugged Qian Ruoyun, who was about to explode at any moment, and patiently comforted her.

Looking at the rising incense smoke in the room, she frowned and asked, "What kind of incense is being burned in that incense burner?"

Qian Ruoyun followed her gaze and replied, "That's calming incense. My mother doesn't get headaches when she smells that incense."

Ye Xiaoxiao went over and extinguished the incense with tea.

"This incense should not be lit anymore; it is one of the culprits."

Not only can it be addictive and cause dependence, but it can also be incompatible with other things.

Suddenly remembering something, she asked Qian Ruoyun, "Does your mother still have the medicine she usually takes? Let me see what herbs are in it."

Qian Ruoyun immediately took out a packet of medicinal herbs from the drawer and handed it to Ye Xiaoxiao.

Upon receiving the medicine packet, Ye Xiaoxiao examined it carefully, and as soon as she looked, she noticed something amiss.

The amount of one of the medicinal materials was significantly greater than the recommended dosage.

If the dosage of medicine is incorrect, it can kill you.

Ye Xiaoxiao explained the reason, and Qian Ruoyun immediately understood. That person wanted to use the principle of the incompatibility between drugs and incense to kill her mother.

What a vicious thought!

After the diagnosis, Qian Ruoyun followed Ye Xiaoxiao to the pharmacy to get the medicine. She told her personal maid, Xi'er, to stay by her mother's side before leaving the house with peace of mind.

"Xiao Xiao, what should I do now?"

Seeing that the two had come to the street and no longer needed to worry about being overheard by people in the mansion, Qian Ruoyun got straight to the point and asked.

“You need to be careful about what your mother eats these days. Also, don’t alert her. Wait until she’s fully recovered before making any moves. But we need to pretend.”

"camouflage?"

"Yes, pretend you haven't realized their malicious intentions yet. Just go about your business as usual, let them lower their guard, and they'll naturally slip up. One word: wait!"

Qian Ruoyun puffed out her cheeks, her brows furrowed with worry and unease, and said dejectedly, "Okay, Xiao Xiao, I'll listen to you. Sigh—I wonder where my brother has gone? I don't have anyone to consult with."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is your brother not home?"

"Yes, a few days ago, he was all excited about climbing Biluo Peak. Later, he took a few of his men and moved a lot of stuff out of the house. I don't know where he went. Humph!"

Ye Xiaoxiao suddenly had a bold idea: Could this person have moved to Biluo Peak?
