Shuwen naturally knew that Huo Junyan's behavior just now was strange. Looking at Shen Qinglan's expression at this moment, he knew that something might have gone wrong.

Shen Qinglan withdrew his hand, looked around, and then slowly spoke:

"The eldest master and Xiao Shanzi have a very close relationship. His emotions fluctuated greatly at the moment and he got a little excited. You should send the eldest master back to the yard to rest first."

When Shuwen heard this, he immediately understood what Shen Qinglan meant.

There was indeed something wrong with Huo Junyan's health, but this could not be known to anyone.

Shuwen nodded, looked at Shuyu and instructed:

"Protect the princess."

"I know."

Although Shuyu is usually carefree, he knows that the current situation is a bit complicated, so he agreed immediately.

After Huo Junyan was sent away, Steward Wang fell to the ground, patting his chest as if he had survived a disaster, and said:

"Crazy, crazy, everyone is crazy."

Cai Ping would rather die than drag him down with her! Huo Junyan wanted to kill him with a sword!

How is that not crazy?

But when Butler Wang said this, he suddenly felt cold all over and subconsciously looked at Shen Qinglan...

Shen Qinglan sat back in her seat, playing with the jade beads in her hand, and looked at Butler Wang coldly and said:

"Butler Wang ordered Cai Ping to kill Xiao Shanzi and the Second Young Master, and also intended to rescue Cai Ping. There is solid evidence for these things."

"Although you have done a favor to the old King Zhan, the King Zhan's Mansion has never treated you unfairly."

"Now it is time to return a life for a life. Give Steward Wang poisoned wine and tell the public that Steward Wang died of illness. This will save your reputation and that of Prince Zhan's Mansion."

Once these words were spoken, it was a direct death sentence for Butler Wang.

Steward Wang's face turned pale, and he immediately shouted excitedly:

"What? You can't kill me! You can't!"

"I want to see the old princess! I want to see the old princess!"

"You are being unfilial! You are disobeying the orders of the old war king!"

But no matter how Butler Wang cried and howled, Shen Qinglan didn't even move his eyelids. He raised his hand, and immediately the guards came forward and lifted Butler Wang up.

Butler Wang felt that Shen Qinglan was serious and struggled desperately to beg. Seeing that Shen Qinglan was unmoved, he said directly:

"I have another secret. If you kill me, you will regret it!!"

Shen Qinglan raised the corners of his lips slightly, and glanced at Butler Wang indifferently, as if he was looking at a dead person:

"I'm not interested in your secrets, so just take them to your coffin."

The night is deep again.

After Shen Qinglan had dealt with the matters with Butler Wang, he went to Huo Junyan's yard.

Seeing that Huo Junyan had not woken up yet, he couldn't help but glance at Shuwen.

Shuwen scratched the back of his head with a guilty conscience and said:

"Just now, didn't I see that the eldest son was making too much noise? I used a bit too much force at that moment, but you see, isn't the effect quite good?"

Shen Qinglan was almost amused by Shuwen. She immediately reached out and touched her forehead, then sat down next to Huo Junyan and took his pulse again.

After a while, when Shen Qinglan withdrew his hand, Shu Yu couldn't help but stepped forward and asked:

"Miss, what happened to this young master? He was like a beast without emotions just now."

Even if it was because of Xiaoshanzi's death, coupled with the stimulation from Butler Wang, it wouldn't have led people to become like that.

Shen Qinglan's face was somewhat gloomy, and he spoke in a very serious tone: "Brother Yan has epilepsy."

"What??"

"The Twenty Difficulties in the Difficult Classic says: Those who are too yang will be crazy, and those who are too yin will be insane. Madness is characterized by restlessness, arrogance, beating and scolding, and being easily angry. Yanger suffers from this kind of madness."

Shen Qinglan paused here, looked at Huo Junyan, and sighed.

After interacting with Huo Junyan these days, she felt that Huo Junyan's temper seemed difficult to control sometimes.

At first he thought it was because Huo Junyan was young and thoughtful, but now he realized that he was suffering from epilepsy.

"Is it incurable?"

Shuyu asked curiously, with her young lady's ability, what disease could be difficult for her to treat?

Shen Qinglan shook his head and said with a frown:

"It's difficult to treat, but most importantly, Yan Ge'er's disease is not congenital, but caused by poisoning."

"Poisoned? The eldest master was fine, how could he be poisoned?" Shu Yu asked in surprise when he heard this.

Shen Qinglan shook his head.

This is also what she finds difficult about this matter.

She could cure Huo Junyan's mania, but if there was someone behind the scenes who continued to poison him, even if she cured him, he would probably still relapse.

Shuwen stood aside holding the sword, thought for a moment, and asked:

"Is it Butler Wang?"

After all, Butler Wang was very bold and he dared to take Caiping away right under their noses. No one could be sure whether he was innocent or not.

Shen Qinglan shook his head and said seriously:

"It's not Butler Wang. Butler Wang was obviously very surprised when he saw Yan Ge'er going crazy just now. If he was the one who poisoned him, he would not be unprepared."

Besides, no matter how good a person is at acting, he or she cannot be flawless.

"Is that Xie Wanying?" Shu Yu guessed.

After all, Xie Wanying also has a criminal record, but they just don’t have evidence yet.

Shen Qinglan shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Logically speaking, Huo Junyan had already been poisoned before she married into Prince Zhan's Mansion.

However, before she married into Prince Zhan's mansion, Huo Junyan posed no threat to Xie Wanying, and there was no need to poison Huo Junyan.

of course……

There was no evidence at this time, so she could not guarantee Xie Wanying's absolute innocence.

Shen Qinglan did not hesitate and took out a silver needle to give Huo Junyan an acupuncture to temporarily suppress the madness.

"I will go look for my senior brother tomorrow. He is an expert in this field and who knows what he might know. Also..."

"Now take your men to search Yan'er's yard from inside to outside and throw away any suspicious items."

Apart from intentional poisoning, Shen Qinglan could not guarantee whether there were any poisonous objects placed in Huo Junyan's yard, causing him to come into frequent contact with them.

However, after what happened to Huo Junyan, Shen Qinglan suddenly felt that this Zhanwang Mansion also hid many secrets...

In the huge Zhan Wang Mansion, the death of a butler or a Cai Ping would not cause any splash.

When a person dies, it's like a light goes out, but Prince Zhan's Palace is still running.

But on this day, a vegetable farmer carrying a load on his shoulder came and knocked on the back door of Prince Zhan's mansion.

After opening the door, an old woman picked her teeth and looked at the vegetable farmer in front of her who looked no more than 20 years old, and said with disdain:

"Who are you? What are you doing in Prince Zhan's mansion?"

The vegetable farmer was also stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked behind the woman. Not seeing anyone familiar, he smiled and said:

"My dear sister, I am Xiaogouzi from Shili Village outside the capital. I often send some mountain products to Butler Wang. I wonder if you can let me know?"

When the old woman heard the farmer mention Steward Wang, she immediately looked at the farmer with vigilance and quickly waved her hand and said:

"Go away! We don't have a butler Wang here, leave now!"

"Hey, hey, hey? Dear sister, what are you doing? Butler Wang is obviously the butler of Prince Zhan's mansion, why are you..."

The farmer was anxious to explain, but the old woman just rolled her eyes and said:

"Don't make trouble here, and don't come here again. Butler Wang... cough, he's dead."

"Died of illness? Why did he die of illness out of nowhere?"

"If he died of illness, he died of illness. How should I know why he died of illness? You are so long-winded!"

The old woman pushed the person out with some disgust and slammed the door shut.

After the vegetable farmer was pushed out, he froze on the spot.

He just met Butler Wang a while ago, how come he died?

No, he has to go back and tell the lady and the young master! (Begging for five? Ah~)
