Reborn, meet you again!

Chapter 267: Poison Hiding

After another half hour, Song Wan finally stopped the acupuncture. She slowly walked out from behind the screen and spoke to the two maids who were guarding outside.

"Okay, you can carry her back to her room. Two more acupuncture treatments tomorrow or the day after tomorrow will cure the poison."

"Although the baby in her womb has been saved for now, I'm not sure if she can keep it after what happened. You two need to be extra careful."

When Nichang and Xing'er heard this, they felt as if the knife hanging over their heads had finally been put down. After looking at each other, they answered "yes" excitedly.

When Yun Zheng heard this, he was also delighted. He quickly stepped into the screen and looked at Jiang Wanqiao carefully.

Seeing that her breathing had become stable, he held her hand tightly to ease the panic in his heart.

At this time, Doctor Li, who had been taken to Song Yanyuan for search, had also returned.

Yun Zheng also knew that today's matter was not over yet, so he let go of his hand, watched Jiang Wanqiao being carried away, and went to greet Doctor Li.

"Doctor, what's going on?"

Doctor Li just shook his head.

"Your Highness, I have carefully checked the Crown Princess's eating utensils and found nothing unusual."

"Concubine Song's courtyard... is the same."

After hearing what Doctor Li said, Yin Shuang, who was standing behind Song Yan, immediately spoke with a bit of grievance.

"Sir, now that the investigation has been completed, my young lady's innocence can be proven."

"Besides, the Crown Princess went out yesterday. This poison... maybe someone outside did it..."

"This time, the prince really wronged my young lady..."

Yun Zheng's doubts were not dispelled by this.

But since Imperial Physician Li has said so, we can’t do anything to Song Yan right now. After all, there are so many outsiders here.

But at this moment, Song Wan's voice suddenly rang out.

"This girl is wrong."

"The properties of this Zui Xin Powder are extremely strong. As long as the amount reaches a level sufficient to cause a heart attack, it will occur immediately. And according to what the maid next to Miss Song just said, she had already experienced similar hallucinations before. So this poison naturally couldn't have been brought back from outside yesterday!"

Song Wan paused and continued.

"Also, just because Imperial Doctor Li hasn't found the source of the poison doesn't mean it's not in the mansion."

"Perhaps... it was placed in a more hidden location..."

Yin Shuang's eyes flickered when she heard that.

"What do you mean, Miss Jiang?"

"Imperial Doctor Li has already led people to investigate twice, and now the Crown Prince is suspecting that my young lady was responsible. By saying this... aren't you putting my young lady in an unfair position?"

Upon hearing this, Song Yan immediately stopped Yin Shuang, speaking in a gentle but somewhat reproachful tone.

"Yin Shuang, don't be rude."

"Miss Jiang saved my eldest sister's life, so she is indebted to us. She was only voicing her suspicions and had no ill intentions. Hurry and apologize to Miss Jiang."

Yin Shuang said with some grievance after hearing this.

"Miss, you are too kind, that's why you are suspected and bullied."

"If I don't defend you, this matter today will be of no consequence, and others will definitely blame you..."

"At worst, we can let them search us again to prove our innocence!"

"Alright!" Seeing Yin Shuang wouldn't listen, Song Yan's tone became a little more serious. "As the saying goes, the innocent are innocent. Why should you care what others say? As long as we have a clear conscience."

Yin Shuang then bit her lip, looking unwilling, and apologized to Song Wan.

Song Wan looked at the master and servant singing in unison, and just stared at Song Yan.

"The concubine is right. The innocent will be innocent."

"But there's no need for a body search. I believe no one would be so foolish as to put poison on themselves."

"It's just that Concubine may not know that the girl next to me is from the Five Elements Department and is the most observant."

"Just now, when Imperial Doctor Li was examining Miss Song's belongings, she told me an interesting story. Would you, Concubine, like to hear it?"

Song Yan just spoke calmly.

"Miss Jiang, please speak."

When Song Wan heard this, a nice smile appeared on her face.

"She said... just now, when Imperial Physician Li was inspecting these items, everyone in the pavilion, whether it was Prince Yun or the maidservants beside Miss Song, was either worried about Miss Song's safety and looking behind the screen... or watching Imperial Physician Li's movements, wondering what the poison had been placed in that had escaped their eyes..."

"Of course, this also includes the concubine herself."

"But the girl next to you, twice, unconsciously glanced at the wind chimes on the eaves..."

"I'm really curious. She's so concerned about the concubine being wrongly accused, but at such a critical moment...why would she be distracted and act like that..."

As Song Wan spoke, he glanced at Yin Shuang, whose face turned extremely pale in an instant, and stretched out his tone.

"The concubine said, maybe someone hid the poison in there, and then let it drift away with the wind... and was quietly inhaled by Miss Song who was resting there..."

After hearing these words, Song Yan, who had been extremely calm just now, felt his heart suddenly sink.

She calmly twisted the handkerchief in her hand, trying hard to control herself from looking at Yinshuang beside her, and was about to open her mouth to argue.

But before she could speak.

Yun Zheng had already set his eyes on the copper wind chimes hanging on the eaves. Then a cold light flashed in his eyes and he immediately gave orders.

"Someone, take down all the wind chimes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, guards from Prince Huai's mansion came forward, jumped over, took down the four wind chimes hanging on the eaves, and placed them on the stone table.

"Doctor Li, please take another look."

Upon hearing this, Doctor Li stepped forward, carefully picked up the wind chime, and examined it carefully.

He saw that the wind chime was made entirely of copper, with exquisite patterns carved on the surface. At first glance, there was nothing unusual. However, when he got closer and smelled it carefully, he frowned slightly and then fixed his eyes on the top of the wind chime, an ornament carved in the shape of a lotus.

But he looked left and right, but didn't see anything strange.

At this moment, Zhuyue, who had been impatient for a long time, suddenly walked forward, snatched the wind chime from Doctor Li's hand, took a quick look at it, and gently pressed the edge of the lotus with his fingertips. Then, there was a "click" sound, and the lotus-shaped top cover actually popped open, revealing a tiny secret compartment.

In the secret compartment, there was a handful of fine white powder hidden.

Doctor Li opened his eyes wide upon seeing this, and immediately dipped his fingertips in a little powder. After sniffing it carefully again, his expression suddenly changed as he looked at Yun Zheng.

"Sir, this powder smells like datura and aconite. It's the 'intoxicating powder' Miss Jiang mentioned!"
