Liu Yueru immediately saw a large bag of medicinal herbs from the pile of things Song Yiyan brought back.

She suddenly remembered that Xie Wenhua said there was an old doctor in the palace, and those miraculous medicines all came from that old doctor.

Liu Yueru was a little excited and held Song Yiyan's hand tightly: "Did you go to the palace to see the old doctor?"

Song Yiyan nodded slightly: "I took the candy beans that my great-grandmother usually gave me to the divine doctor to look at. He said that they contained a small amount of oleander. After taking them for so many years, the poison has seeped into my body. If I continue to take them for a while, I will not live long."

His voice became lower and lower, Liu Yueru's cold eyes turned red for a moment, and she reached out to hold Song Yiyan in her arms.

"It's all mother's fault for not protecting you well..." Liu Yueru's arms around Song Yiyan kept tightening, her body trembling slightly.

Afraid of seeing Song Yiyan dying in his arms again, his body cooled down little by little.

Song Yiyan bit her lip and asked what was on her mind: "Mother, is it because I am too weak that my great grandmother dislikes me so much? To the point that... she wants to poison me by kissing herself?"

He clenched his thin fists tightly.

Liu Yueru held Song Yiyan's shoulders with both hands and told him firmly: "This is none of your business. We are just stepping stones on their paving stones. Once we are no longer useful, we can be abandoned at will, or even our lives can be taken away."

"So Brother Yan, you have to remember that people come to this world in a hurry. No matter who threatens your life, you must fight back and defeat the opponent!"

Song Yiyan looked at Liu Yueru quietly with red eyes, pondering the implication of her words. After a long while, he slowly said, "Don't we have to uphold filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness?"

Liu Yueru sneered: "Those are just used to restrain gentlemen. Villains never abide by them. If they lose their lives, how can they talk about benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness?"

Song Yiyan suddenly understood.

"Mom, I want to recover my health. Please ask Mama Yan to boil these medicines for me."

"Okay." Liu Yueru agreed gently.

"After some time, I need my mother to accompany me to the palace to see that miracle doctor, who can help me clear the toxins from my body." Song Yiyan said with his eyes lowered.

Liu Yueru felt guilty: "Your second uncle also asked someone to find out the whereabouts of Divine Doctor Yunhe. The candy you took last time has been sent to Divine Doctor Yunhe. There will be news soon. We can seek medical treatment together."

Song Yiyan's dark eyes met Liu Yueru's guilty expression. He stretched out his thin hands and gently placed them on Liu Yueru's face: "The young master took me to see the genius doctor Yunhe. Mother told my second uncle not to worry anymore."

Liu Yueru's pupils suddenly shrank. It was really like searching for something high and low but finally finding it without any effort!

"My brother Yan is finally saved." Liu Yueru suddenly pulled him into her arms, muttering to herself.

After Song Nanzhi came back from outside, he rushed to Nanxi Hall exhausted.

Seeing that he looked exhausted, Old Madam Song asked with concern, "What happened?"

"The Marquis' Mansion has been making jokes recently. Those who were originally expected to be promoted have now been removed from the list and almost assigned to do odd jobs from their original positions." Song Nanzhi took the tea on the side and drank it in big gulps.

He was really thirsty after running and begging for a whole day, barely able to keep his current official position.

"How could this happen?" Old Madam Song slowly tightened her hands that were holding onto the chair.

"Hasn't the servants already taken care of all those things? How come the news spread so quickly all of a sudden?" Old Madam Song was very confused.

Song Nanzhi sat weakly on a seat at the side, rubbed his brows and shook his head, "I always feel like someone is deliberately targeting me."

Madam Song sat up straight and asked, "Did you offend any powerful person recently?"

Song Nanzhi had also thought about it, but he racked his brains and couldn't remember when he had offended those people.

"Could it be the Liu Mansion?" Mother Chen reminded in a low voice.

Old Madam Song and Song Nanzhi looked at each other.

"Ever since Brother Yan went back to live in the Liu Mansion, Yue'er's heart has become less and less in the Marquis' Mansion. How could she have allowed such news to spread in the past?" Old Madam Song also hurriedly followed suit and instigated.

Song Nanzhi's brows were tightly knitted.

"How could she have been willing to use such harsh measures on Jin'er in the past? Look at these few times, every time Jin'er made a mistake, he was punished to death. But what she said was more than just a punishment, it was clearly to take Jin'er's life and require our Marquis' Mansion to cover him!" Old Madam Song became more and more serious.

Song Nanzhi's face was not very good: "Grandma, what you said is too serious. It's all Jin'er's own fault! He should be punished!"

Old Madam Song was so angry that she held her breath in her chest. "Today, Brother Yan came to the palace with Prince Jin. I heard that the young master brought him to ask for a lot of good things from His Majesty and the concubines in the harem. So far, I haven't seen Brother Yan bring anything good. Please show your filial piety to my great grandmother."

"It turns out that if you are not close to your parents, you can't raise them well, and you don't understand the concept of filial piety."

Old Madam Song had never seen any good things in the palace. When she heard that the servants had brought back a few boxes, she went straight back to Wenhuaxuan.

After waiting for a long time, Liu Yueru didn’t bring any for herself!

"Grandma, please don't say such things again in the future. It would be bad if Yue'er and Yan'er heard it." Song Nanzhi frowned even more tightly.

Liu Yueru and Song Yiyan, who were standing outside the yard, heard the entire conversation between the two.

Song Yiyan's pupils dilated slightly and he looked at Liu Yueru in disbelief.

Song Yiyan was a little hesitant and wanted to leave.

However, Liu Yueru had a smile on her face. She took Song Yiyan's hand and pushed the door open.

Mrs. Song, who was originally in high spirits, instantly fell in expression when she saw the person coming.

Even Song Nanzhi was visibly stunned.

"When did you come here?" Song Nanzhi asked somewhat unnaturally.

Liu Yueru sneered, "We just arrived. What's the matter? Did my husband say anything bad about me? Why do you look so guilty?"

Old Madam Song was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly explained with a smile: "How could it be? Nan Zhi can't praise you enough."

For a moment, Song Yiyan didn't know how to face the person in front of him, and stood there in a daze for a long time.

Liu Yueru raised her hand and pushed Song Yiyan, saying with a smile: "Brother Yan, wasn't this string of Buddhist beads given to you by someone in the palace? Your great-grandmother was always kind-hearted, so this string of Buddhist beads was meant for your great-grandmother, wasn't it?"

After hearing this, Old Madam Song finally breathed a sigh of relief. Her eyes lit up and she looked expectantly at the brocade box in Song Yiyan's hand.

Song Yiyan lowered his eyes and clenched his hands before walking slowly towards Old Madam Song and presenting his hands.

"Good boy, so filial." Old Madam Song praised generously, she was completely different from just now!

She took the brocade box from Song Yiyan's hand and opened it. Inside lay a string of small-leaf red sandalwood Buddhist beads with Buddhist scriptures engraved on them. For someone who was devoted to Buddhism, it was a good item.

But Madam Song's expression changed from joy and expectation to disappointment in an instant, and the smile on her face froze for a moment.

I thought they would be top-quality jade Buddhist beads, but unexpectedly they were just a few broken pieces of wood.

I lost interest for a while.

Song Yiyan looked at Old Madam Song expectantly: "Your Majesty, the Empress and the concubines in the harem mostly gave gifts of gold and silver jewelry, but Yan'er thought those were vulgar. Since Great Grandmother worships Buddha, I specially selected a string of small-leaf red sandalwood Buddhist beads for you from those items. Do you like it?"
