Lin Yiru sat there with an even more wooden expression, and she looked dazed, as if she had lost her soul.

Gu Qing felt a little scared when he saw her like this.

She looked at Lu Zhaoling.

Lu Zhaoling stood in front of Lin Yiru. When he saw the talisman water start to work, he asked the most important question.

"Miss Lin, the last time you met with Qing Fuhou, he made a request to you. He hoped that you would pretend to be sick and ask the emperor to release Zhu Minghao so that he and you could get married as scheduled, right?"

Sun Yingying and Gu Qing turned their eyes to Lin Yiru.

"Yes."

"Then do you agree?" Lu Zhaoling asked again.

Under the nervous gazes of her two best friends, Lin Yiru didn't even think about it and shook her head, "No."

She didn't agree!

Sun Yingying and Gu Qing looked at each other excitedly, and then looked at Lu Zhaoling at the same time.

They said, how could Lin Yiru agree to such a thing?

"You rejected Qing Fuhou directly?"

"Correct."

"And how did he react?"

"He's very angry."

Now Lin Yiru answers every question asked.

"He said it was the Queen Mother's idea. He threatened you with the Queen Mother, right?"

"Yes."

"Was Qing Fuhou the only one there at the time? Did no one else hear your conversation?"

Lu Zhaoling asked this question because she had just met Qing Fuhou, and she felt that Qing Fuhou alone could not do such a thing.

"There is another person, a man with a white face and no beard. His behavior is a bit awkward, like a eunuch in the palace."

Sun Yingying and Gu Qing exchanged glances silently again.

There is actually a father-in-law?

If Lu Zhaoling didn't ask about this, they wouldn't know! Lin Yiru seemed to have forgotten about this person before, and she hadn't mentioned him.

"What did that person do to you?" Lu Zhaoling asked again.

Lin Yiru murmured, "He told the Marquis that if I didn't agree to pretend to be sick, he would make me really sick, and then he pinched my face hard and forced me to drink a bottle of medicine."

what? !

Is this even happening?

Sun Yingying’s eyes widened and she almost screamed out loud, but luckily she remembered what Lu Zhaoling had just told them not to make any sound.

But she was so angry!

Yiru was harmed by someone!

"The medicine tastes so bitter, but I can't spit it out." Lin Yiru said again.

"Did you hear Qing Fuhou calling that man?" Lu Zhaoling asked.

"No."

"So you don't know who he is?"

"I don't know. Qing Fuhou doesn't know who he is either. He said he came here on the orders of the queen."

Queen Mother?

The Queen Mother could do so much for Zhu Minghao? She really dotes on him.

"How did you feel after you were drugged?"

"At first I just wanted to vomit, but I didn't vomit. After a while, I had severe abdominal pain, and as the pain got worse, I forgot about it."

After asking this, Lu Zhaoling also knew what he needed to know.

She reached out and gently placed her hand on Lin Yiru's forehead, using a little spiritual power to wake her up.

"The way she is now, it means she was drugged, not possessed by evil spirits."

Lu Zhaoling looked at Sun Yingying, "You heard it just now. The drug should make her dizzy and slow to react. Moreover, it will get worse and worse. When the drug takes full effect, she may fall into a coma."

Doesn't that mean you have a serious illness and can't hold on any longer?

The other party originally wanted to achieve this goal.

After she finished speaking, she couldn't wait for Sun Yingying's answer and looked at her inquiringly.

Sun Yingying opened her eyes wide and pointed at her mouth, not daring to speak. She could only ask her with her lips, "Can you speak now?"

Lu Zhaoling didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"You can talk."

Sun Yingying breathed a sigh of relief and immediately cursed, "It turns out that some bad bastard gave Yiru poison! If I find out who it is, I will kick him to death!"

"Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin may not know about this yet." Gu Qing said worriedly.

"Ms. Lin forgot about it herself before, and she definitely didn't tell anyone when she got home. Send her back and explain things to the Lin family. They need to make a decision on how to deal with the matter sooner rather than later."

Lu Zhaoling looked at Lin Yiru and sighed again, "However, Miss Lin was poisoned. We need to see a doctor."

She doesn't have any talisman that can make the poison disappear immediately.

"Go and ask the assistant doctor."

"I'll take Yiru back first and ask Uncle Lin to call the assistant doctor as soon as possible!" said Sun Yingying.

Gu Qing hesitated a little, "My cousin may come to see Miss Lu soon..."

She was also worried about her aunt and cousin.

Sun Yingying knew about this, she patted Gu Qing's shoulder gently, "Then you just wait here, I will take Yiru back."

Lin Yiru was helped to stand up by Sun Yingying. She looked at Lu Zhaoling and knew that she had to pay the money, but it was difficult to say it out loud. "I, want to give..."

"Sister Zhao Ling, how much silver does Yiru have to pay you?" Sun Yingying quickly asked for her.

I almost forgot I had to pay.

Lin Yiru nodded, indicating that this was indeed what she wanted to ask.

One thousand taels...

Lu Zhaoling swallowed the price back when it came to her lips.

Originally, this was a soul-searching talisman, not an ordinary talisman, so she should have charged one thousand taels for it.

But for some reason, when the words came to her lips, she suddenly remembered what King Jin had said about her charging too high a price.

When collecting the money from Sun Yingying, Prince Jin reminded her to charge a higher price, saying that the Sun family was rich.

But Lin's...

Lu Zhaoling gave Lin Yiru a discount.

"One hundred taels, mainly because this matter is related to Qingfuhou Mansion. You know that Zhu Minghao and I have a grudge against each other."

She should have saved the person that Qingfuhou Mansion wanted to cheat even if she didn't ask for money.

If it was just a peace talisman or a purification talisman, she would have given it to him for free, but this was a soul-searching talisman.

Sun Yingying breathed a sigh of relief for Lin Yiru.

She was really worried that Lin Yiru couldn't afford the money, but one hundred taels was still okay.

"Sister Zhao Ling, I'll give it to Yiru first. When she gets better, just return it to me." Sun Yingying immediately took out a hundred taels of silver.

Lu Zhaoling accepted it and handed Lin Yiru a peace amulet, "This is for you."

Zhu Minghao wanted Lin Yiru to jump into his fire pit? That was wishful thinking.

"Thank you."

Lin Yiru took it and wanted to put it in her arms, but her movements were very slow. Sun Yingying couldn't bear it, so she snatched it away, stuffed it into her arms, and patted it.

"I've put it there for you!"

Lu Zhaoling stroked his forehead and laughed.

"Sister Zhao Ling, we'll leave first. I'll come back to see you when the results from Lord Lin come out."

"Okay. Let's go back and let her have a good rest."

Sun Yingying helped Lin Yiru leave.

Gu Qing was certain that his cousin would come to ask Lu Zhaoling for help, so he continued to stay here and wait.

When Lu Ming went to the small Buddhist temple, Mrs. Lu rushed over to him as soon as she saw him, "Master, please let me out. I know I was wrong. A man's face is very important. I shouldn't have scratched you."

Lu Ming looked at her and suppressed his disgust.

"By now, Concubine Shu must have known that the engagement has been made public. Think carefully about where else that thing could be hidden. Come with me now and search carefully again!"
