Li Siwan was worried that Su Xiaoyao would wait at the door for too long, so he walked in a hurry.

She went all the way back to the emperor's bedroom, asked the imperial physician to get a silver needle, and then returned the same way.

After turning the corner, Li Siwan paused and his eyes fell on the rockery not far away.

A familiar figure.

It's small trifoliate orange.

At this time, Xiaozhi was in the dark and seemed to be talking to someone.

The other person's figure was hidden behind the rockery and his real face could not be seen.

The distance was too far and Li Siwan couldn't hear what was said.

Li Siwan pursed his lips slightly, walked to the side quietly, and then looked along the side of the flowers.

This time, she finally saw the other person's face.

Also an acquaintance.

The person standing next to Xiao Zhi was the Nanny Li who was standing beside the Queen? !

Nanny Li?

It's not surprising that Xiaozhi knows Nanny Li, after all, they both work in the palace.

But at this time, speaking so secretly and cautiously always feels unusual.

Xiaozhi has connections with the Queen's people. Could it be that Xiaozhi is also the Queen's person?

Or is it that Nanny Li is not the Queen's person, and Xiaozhi is also being used by others and is in contact with Nanny Li?

Too many thoughts popped up in his mind at once, and Li Siwan couldn't figure out the confusion.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Li Siwan turned around and left through the small path.

She was sent to the palace gate by Su Xiaoyao, and saw Xiahou Su's carriage from afar.

"Then I will go back to find Xiao Zhi first. You go find Young Marquis Su. Be careful."

Su Xiaoyao said goodbye to Li Siwan, then turned around and entered the palace again.

Li Siwan glanced at his back, hesitating whether to mention Xiaozhi's matter to Su Xiaoyao.

In the end, she still didn't speak up.

Su Xiaoyao has nothing to do with all this, so he shouldn't be in danger.

The more you know, the worse it is.

Thinking of this, Li Siwan went straight to the carriage.

But Xiahou Su was not in it.

"The young marquis is still in the palace and should be out soon."

"Well, let's wait a little longer."

Li Siwan nodded and put the things on the carriage, but stood outside.

Only when he saw Xiahou Su's figure walking quickly towards him did he let out a slight smile.

As soon as he saw Li Siwan, Xiahou Su's eyes naturally showed tenderness, and he naturally reached out and led her into the carriage.

In the car, Li Siwan felt a little tired, but he still leaned to one side and read the medical book attentively.

"Is His Majesty's illness serious?"

Xiahou Su asked with concern, and Li Siwan nodded.

"To be honest, if we don't find a solution to your Majesty's current situation quickly, maybe..."

Some things don't need to be said too clearly, just keep it to the point.

Xiahou Su also understood what she meant and nodded thoughtfully.

"Any progress now?"

"We are still testing the medicine. Doctor Fang has gone back to the palace to consult with the seniors. The people in the dark are well prepared and difficult to deal with. And since they have controlled His Majesty in this way, there must be other means in the future."

Li Siwan said this and yawned lazily.

"Have some tea to moisten your throat. Your voice is hoarse."

Xiahou Su placed the teacup in front of her, with concern and worry between his brows.

He spoke softly, as if he was worried about disturbing Li Siwan.

After the teacup was placed in her hand, Li Siwan subconsciously raised her eyes, and she met Xiahou Su's concerned gaze directly.

Li Siwan was stunned and almost spilled the tea in his hand.

Seeing this, Xiahou Su hurriedly held her hand.

"Don't burn yourself."

He continued to instruct gently, and Li Siwan finally came to his senses and nodded somewhat embarrassedly.

"Okay, I...I'll have some tea."

As she spoke, she broke free from Xiahou Su's hand and drank the tea in the cup.

Xiahou Su stayed by her side and the carriage stopped soon.

Li Siwan returned to the house and was still thinking, but he had no clue.

She looked at the night outside the window, seemed to have thought of something, picked up the medical book in her arms, and went out directly.

As soon as Li Siwan opened the door, he walked directly into a solid and warm embrace.

Xiahou Su subconsciously put his arms around her waist and pulled her into his arms with a little force, preventing Li Siwan from falling to the ground.

"Are you okay?"

He protected the person closely, but couldn't help but look worried.

Li Siwan blinked, managed to calm himself down, then shook his head and stood up from Xiahou Su's arms.

"No, it's nothing. I just felt a little stuffy, so I wanted to go out for some fresh air."

"I'll accompany you. Where do you want to go?"

Li Siwan raised his head and looked at the roof.

Xiahou Su understood and jumped up, taking Li Siwan with him and sitting steadily on the roof.

It’s not that cold tonight, and the evening breeze is a little warm, which is very comfortable.

Li Siwan sat next to him, with a broad view, and the headache he had just felt was relieved a lot.

However, the emperor's situation was too complicated, and her mind was too confused to figure it out.

She sighed deeply and looked into the distance again.

It was just an unintentional glance at first, but Li Siwan's attention was attracted by the Hundred Star Flowers not far away.

"what is that?"

Li Siwan pointed to the root of the Hundred Star Flower, where there seemed to be a green light.

Xiahou Su looked over and was also slightly stunned, "Go down and take a look."

The two of them flew down and arrived at the flowerbed of Hundred Star Flowers, only then did they discover that what was glowing was the soil.

And the soil is moist, obviously it has just been watered.

"Does everyone in the Marquis' Mansion water the flowers in the middle of the night?"

"Never seen it before."

It was already late at night and everyone in the house had gone to bed, but the water was clearly freshly watered, which was unusual.

"This is not water, it's green juice..."

Xiahou Su pointed to the green leaves on one side of the tree roots. There was still sap on them that was green.

Li Siwan carefully picked up a leaf and sniffed it.

"It's the juice of green crystal grass!"

Li Siwan murmured thoughtfully, and then a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he instantly remembered the small white flowers he had seen in the medical book.

He immediately ran back to the house to get the medical book, then ran back, opened the book and compared it with the original. Then he suddenly realized what was going on.

"This is not a Hundred Star Flower at all!"

Li Siwan pointed at the page and said, "This is clearly a Su Han flower."

Li Siwan handed the medical book to Xiahou Su and continued, "Someone used the green juice of the green crystal grass to water the white lotus flower all year round, which changed the color of its flowers and disguised it as a hundred-star flower."

"Suhanhua, are they poisonous?"

"It's not poisonous. That's why I wonder, what is that person trying to do by going to so much trouble?"

Xiahou Su's eyes darkened slightly, and he seemed to have noticed something.

"Su Hanhua is a specialty of Nanxiang, but it has disappeared since the fall of Nanxiang. Could it be..."

"I heard that the territory of Nanxiang was destroyed by the old marquis."

"Yes, there was a rebellion in Nanxiang. It was my grandfather who led people to suppress it. He wanted to persuade them to surrender, but they were stubborn by nature and refused to surrender. They also set a fire on the mountain and destroyed everything. My grandfather tried to save them, but he was powerless."

"If so, then there is a possibility."

Xiahou Su also reacted immediately.

"Revenge. There are survivors of Nanxiang in the Marquis' Mansion."

Li Siwan nodded, "That makes sense. She wants revenge. There is nothing more satisfying in this world than letting a glorious family die without descendants."

"You mean, a curse?"

"That's right, but I can't figure out how they did it. This lotus flower isn't harmful at all, and it has a subtle fragrance that can calm the nerves... Wait, fragrance!"

Li Siwan thought of something and quickly looked at Xiahou Su, "Who planted this flower?"

"Everything in the mansion is managed by Second Aunt, so it should be her who planted them."

"Second Madam...as expected."

Li Siwan reacted, "It's aromatherapy!"
