The reason why Old Madam Yan was in a heavy mood was that the Seven-Star Snake Fruit grew in the deep mountains and old forests where few people had ever been, and there would be five-step snakes guarding nearby, which would lick the fruit with their saliva. Only the Seven-Star Snake Fruit that had been licked by poisonous snakes had the effect of detoxification, and the Imperial Hospital in the palace did not have this kind of medicinal material at all.

This means that Qing He has no cure and can only wait to die... and before she dies her entire skin will turn gray!

Old Madam Yan looked at her unconscious and pregnant granddaughter, and her pain and sadness gradually turned into raging anger...

Because the real murderer who poisoned Qinghe was none other than Jiang Yaonian’s sister Jiang Jianian!

Although Old Madam Yan didn't know why this sinister and vicious woman wanted to get rid of Qinghe, she decided to make this woman pay with her own life!

Because the reason why Old Madam Yan was willing to return to the palace to become the empress dowager was for revenge. Rong Xuejiao had been killed by her, and the next one would be Miao Wanwan's turn!

Now with the addition of Jiang Jianian, this cunning and vicious woman will have to pay the same price no matter what the reason is for wanting to kill Qinghe!

……

Half an hour later, Jiang Yaonian was sitting in the study checking the account books when the guard Li Zhi walked in and said, "My lord, something bad has happened! The maid from the other courtyard came over and said that the queen mother fainted in the bedroom!"

Jiang Yaonian was shocked when he heard this and said hurriedly, "Go and send someone to invite Doctor Xue over!"

"Yes!"

The guard turned and left.

Jiang Yaonian hurried to the villa, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Old Madam Yan lying on the couch with her eyes closed, motionless!

The maids gathered around and cried, "Empress Dowager! Empress Dowager!"

Jiang Yaonian walked over quickly and asked, "What's wrong, grandma?"

The maid cried as if she had seen a savior: "Master Jiang, the Queen Mother asked us to go out, saying that she wanted to be alone with the young lady for a while. After we waited outside for a while, we suddenly heard a 'thump' sound from the inner room! We were so scared that we didn't know what was going on and hurriedly called the Queen Mother, but no one answered after calling for a long time. Finally, we had to push the door open and saw that the Queen Mother was lying on the ground motionless..."

As he was speaking, Doctor Xue hurried over.

After he put down the medicine box, he took out the pulse pillow and checked the pulse of Old Madam Yan, then said to Jiang Yaonian: "Sir, the Queen Mother's pulse is normal. I don't know why she suddenly fainted..."

Jiang Yaonian asked in confusion: "What did you say?"

Doctor Xue sighed and said, "Sir, let's go to another place to talk. I have something to say to you alone..."

Jiang Yaonian nodded and said, "Okay, Doctor Xue, please come this way!"

The two left the villa and walked towards the study.

After a cup of tea, someone from the palace came and took the fainted Madam Yan away.

When Jiang Yaonian returned to the villa, the maid Yun'er came up to him in surprise and said, "Young Master Nian, the young mistress is awake!"

After hearing this, Jiang Yaonian was shocked!

Even Doctor Xue couldn't cure Qinghe's poison, so how could she wake up just like that?

He hurried to the inner room and found that Qing He had indeed woken up, but her eyes were still a little confused, as if she had just woken up from a dream...

Jiang Yaonian came to the bed and sat down, and asked softly: "Qinghe, are you awake?"

Unexpectedly, Qinghe acted as if she didn't hear him and ignored him completely!

At this moment, Jiang Yaonian suddenly discovered that something was wrong. He keenly felt that this person was not Qinghe!

Jiang Yaonian looked carefully at Qinghe in front of him and found that her gestures were very different from usual, and even her temperament had become a little elegant and slow!

It was like Qinghe was getting older...

Jiang Yaonian's heart moved and he instantly understood what was going on!

But he still wanted to confirm, so he asked softly: "Qinghe, you've been lying down for so long, are you hungry?"

As expected, the fake Qinghe smiled and said, "I'm not hungry."

Jiang Yaonian nodded, "Then you should have a good rest! If you need anything, ask the maids to call me from the study."

Having said that, he stood up and left the villa.

The next day.

After Jiang Yaonian got up, the guard came in and reported: "Sir, the young lady came to the palace early in the morning! She said she was going to see the Queen Mother..."

"Oh, I see!"

Jiang Yaonian agreed, didn't take it seriously, left the study and walked upstairs.

As soon as he entered the room, Madam Jiang asked in surprise, "Where's Qinghe? Why didn't she come with you? I heard from the maid last night that she had woken up, but it was too late, so I didn't go to see her. Why didn't she come with you today?"

Jiang Yaonian sat down at the table and said calmly, "She went to the palace to visit her grandmother."

Madam Jiang was surprised and asked, "Why did you go to the palace so early in the morning without even having breakfast?"

"Maybe there's something you need to tell grandma."

Madam Jiang got anxious when she heard this and frowned, "Why didn't you send someone to stop her? She has just recovered from a serious illness and is pregnant. What if she faints again when she goes out on an empty stomach early in the morning?"

Jiang Yaonian comforted his grandmother, "Don't worry! I'll talk to you in detail later. There is a reason for this..."

"Ah, what's the reason?"

Jiang Yaonian said: "I can't tell you now, you will know it later."

Madam Jiang sighed helplessly and said, "Alas! You kid, aren't you deliberately making me anxious?"

……

Yunxi Palace.

The eunuch came forward and knocked on the door.

After the door opened, the guard came out and frowned, "What's going on?"

Xiujuan stepped forward, raised the imperial gold medal in her hand and said, "The Queen Mother wants to see Miao Wanwan for something! Everyone else please step aside!"

The guard was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "Yes! Yes!"

As he said this, he led the guards to the door and stood in a row along the wall.

Xiujuan led a man in a black cloak into the inner hall.

At this moment, Miao Wanwan had finished her breakfast and was sitting on the wooden couch, lost in thought, muttering to herself, "Who rescued that little girl?"

This incident became a thorn in her side. She was always upset that she had not been able to personally torture and punish Dai Qinglin's granddaughter, and she would talk about it over and over again whenever she thought about it.

The door suddenly opened, and a man in black walked in. He gently took off his hat and said in a clear voice, "Miao Wanwan, are you looking for me?"

Miao Wanwan was startled when she heard the voice. Her eyes slowly moved upwards. When she saw the person clearly, she immediately screamed, "You are Dai Qinglin's granddaughter!"

The man in black smiled and said clearly, "No! I am Dai Qinglin herself..."

Miao Wanwan was stunned for a moment, then sneered and said, "Don't try to deceive me, little girl! You are the little girl who escaped from the palace that day!"

After she finished speaking, she glanced downwards and said with some disdain, "Although you are wearing a large cloak, your belly can't lie! Dai Qinglin is much slimmer than you. You are the little village girl that Concubine Jia brought into the palace!"

The man in black said casually: "Your eyesight is very good, but I am Dai Qinglin! You used to have a nickname called 'Little Pepper', right? That was given to you by your family. Your sister Miao Yuyu is called 'Little Sweet Pepper'..."

Miao Wanwan's face changed after hearing this, and she exclaimed: "How did you know!"
