The commander of the Imperial Guards reported again: "I saw it with my own eyes, it is absolutely true."

"well!"

Emperor Qinglong sat back on the throne, and he seemed to relax as if he was relieved. A smile finally appeared on his gloomy face: "Song Yunxi will come to the palace in a few days. You must keep an eye on me. If there is any movement between her and the fourth brother, you must report it to me."

Now that we have held hands, how far will the day be when that little bitch becomes my daughter-in-law?

Wentian can rest assured if he lets that stinky girl marry his only legitimate son!

Emperor Qinglong himself did not realize how happily he was laughing at this moment.

But the commander was confused. Didn't the emperor ask him to keep an eye on Prince Chen to monitor him? He was worried that Prince Chen would get the support of the Imperial Master's Mansion through Miss Song. Why was he so happy?

Eunuch Sun understood what was said, and was also surprised that Miss Song, who was so aloof from others, would allow His Royal Highness Prince Chen to get close to her.

Commander He didn't know what was going on, so he had to ask the emperor: "Your Majesty, do you want His Royal Highness Prince Chen not to disturb Miss Song?"

Emperor Qinglong: “…”

I've never seen anyone so stupid.

Eunuch Sun: The emperor's thoughts are written on his face, how can you still not understand?

Emperor Qinglong's face darkened again, and Eunuch Sun immediately stepped forward to smooth things over: "What are you talking about, Commander He? The emperor loves the younger generation and wants them to get close, especially since the eldest lady and His Royal Highness Prince Chen are a perfect match, which makes him even more happy to see it happen."

Commander He: “???”

This is what the Emperor said just two days ago when he asked him to keep an eye on His Royal Highness Prince Chen's every move.

Seeing that Commander He was about to say something that would offend the emperor again, Eunuch Sun took the lead and interrupted him: "In short, Commander He, remember that His Royal Highness Prince Chen is the emperor's only legitimate son. It is natural for the emperor to care about his lifelong affairs. He also asked you to pay attention to His Royal Highness because he is worried that he will be devastated by the cancellation of the engagement by Marquis Wenyuan's Mansion."

Although he didn't know what had happened, as a close servant, he could clearly see the change in the emperor's attitude towards His Royal Highness Prince Chen, so they only needed to follow the emperor's wishes.

Eunuch Sun's words really touched Emperor Qinglong's heart. He nodded with satisfaction. It turned out that this old guy could accurately guess his thoughts.

Receiving the warning look from Eunuch Sun, Commander He swallowed his words and said, "I obey your command!"

The next morning, Song Yunxi asked the servants to prepare a car to take Qinghe to the Taifu Mansion.

Mrs. Zhu, who had been waiting anxiously, heard that Song Yunxi was coming and went to the door to greet her in person.

"Yesterday I received a message from your people saying that you would come today. I was so happy that I couldn't sleep all night."

Madam Zhu really likes Song Yunxi. If she had a daughter, she would hope that she would be as delicate and capable as Song Yunxi.

Song Yunxi let her pull her hand and walk inside: "Because the emperor summoned me to the palace, I had to advance my appointment with Madam. I apologize for disturbing you."

"What are you talking about?"

Madam Zhu pretended to be angry and said, "I am so happy that you can come, how can I be offended? Don't say such things in the future."

Thinking of how Madam Zhu had held her hand and exhorted her in the past life, Song Yunxi felt warm in her heart: "I won't say any more. I will come to bother you from time to time in the future. I hope Madam doesn't mind my nagging."

Mrs. Zhu smiled and patted the back of her hand: "I couldn't ask for more!"

After entering the main courtyard of the Grand Tutor's Mansion, Madam Zhu asked her trusted nanny and maid to keep watch while she took Song Yunxi into the room.

"After returning from Yunling Temple, I used this as an excuse to thoroughly check the yard and kitchen, but I didn't find any problems."

Song Yunxi looked around the room without missing any details: "Madam, have you carefully checked the furnishings, clothes and jewelry in the room?"

Mrs. Zhu nodded: "I checked it, and I didn't find any problems."

After hesitating for a moment, Madam Zhu asked carefully, "Could it be that the problem is not in the mansion?"

Song Yunxi carefully checked the food that Mrs. Zhu had kept. Both the ingredients and the smell were normal, with no signs of drugging.

There was nothing unusual in the entire room. Song Yunxi frowned and thought, could it be that she had made a wrong judgment or was being too suspicious?

Just when I was hesitant and confused, suddenly a faint scent drifted into my nose.

Song Yunxi smelled it and said, "What a nice floral scent."

Mrs. Zhu didn't expect that she could actually smell it. She exclaimed with shining eyes: "Young Miss has a very keen sense of smell. She can even smell such a faint fragrance."

She studied medicine since she was young and had to learn to identify medicinal materials from an early age, so her sense of smell was naturally cultivated.

“These are orchids that I planted.”

Looking in the direction of Mrs. Zhu's finger, I happened to see a few blue orchids in the sunlight.

"This orchid is rare."

Mrs. Zhu said proudly: "I am the only one in the whole capital that has orchids like this."

Not even inside the palace.

"Madam, do you like flowers?"

Chunlan, the maid who brought in tea, smiled and replied, "Our Madam loved flowers when she was in her boudoir. This is known to everyone in the capital."

That's it!

Song Yunxi narrowed her eyes slightly: "So using flowers to drug Madam can achieve twice the result with half the effort without arousing suspicion."

Mrs. Zhu's heart tightened: "Miss, do you mean that there is something wrong with the orchid?"

It felt like someone poured a basin of cold water on me, chilling me from head to toe.

Song Yunxi did not give a direct answer, but her next words acknowledged that there was indeed something wrong with the orchid.

"How did Madam Hua get this?"

Looking back, I found that the color on Mrs. Zhu's face had faded and her body was shaking as if she had suffered a blow.

Song Yunxi understood in her heart that the person who sent the flowers must be someone she trusted very much.

Song Yunxi could empathize with the feeling of being betrayed by the person she trusted the most.

I'm afraid that for Mrs. Zhu, even if everyone in the world betrays her, she will never believe that that person will betray her.

Song Yunxi comforted Madam Zhu: "Fortunately, nothing irreparable has happened yet. Let's get well first and then think about how to deal with the person who betrayed you."

Madam Zhu understood what Song Yunxi meant. There was no real evidence at the moment and there must be someone behind that person, and they were obviously coming for the Taifu Mansion, so the person behind the scenes had to be found out no matter what, otherwise the entire Taifu Mansion would be in danger.

Taking a few deep breaths to calm herself down, Madam Zhu asked Song Yunxi with concern, "Can my body be cured?"

Song Yunxi gave her a confident and calm smile: "As long as you are still alive, you can definitely be cured."

Without leaving any trace, he took a petal and a small amount of soil for planting flowers and carefully put them into the space, then gave Madam Zhu a bottle of prepared pills: "Take one pill three times a day to remove the cold accumulated in your body. After three days, I will give you acupuncture to completely remove the cold poison."

Madam Zhu tightly grasped the medicine bottle, full of gratitude to Song Yunxi: "Thanks to Miss Song, otherwise... otherwise I wouldn't even know how I died."
