Chapter 363 Tickled Her Palm
Ye Weilan seemed unable to accept this outcome. She stumbled back two steps, bumping into the wall before stopping against it: "How could this happen? How could this happen..."
Yi Moxu glanced at her casually: "I'll have someone bring the tranquilizer over later. It only needs to be given once a day and will last all day. After she wakes up each day, don't rush to give her the next pill. Let's see if she has recovered before deciding whether to give her the next one."
"Okay." Ye Weilan nodded: "I understand, I've got it."
Yi Moxu stood up, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and wiped his hands: "If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
"Alright, thank you for your help, Doctor Xu." Ye Qing looked steadily into Yi Moxu's eyes and curled the corners of her lips.
Yi Moxu paused slightly while wiping his hands, then casually put the handkerchief away before bowing his head and leaving.
However, as she brushed past Ye Qing'an, she gently tickled Ye Qing'an's palm with her hand.
Ye Qing'an felt as if a feather had brushed against the tip of her heart, sending a shiver of pleasure through her.
Ye Qing'an was afraid that her smile was too obvious and inappropriate at this time, so she lowered her head, composed herself, and said, "We still need to continue to look for famous doctors, just in case there is another doctor who can cure this poison."
The steward responded softly, "Yes, this old servant will make the arrangements shortly."
Ye Qing'an then looked up at Ye Weilan: "There are other matters in the manor that require my attention. Why don't you stay here and look after things for now, sister?"
"Row."
Ye Weilan nodded in agreement: "Now that Father is not in the manor and Mother has encountered such an incident, it is normal for Sister to be busy. Leave Mother here to me. I will certainly take good care of Mother."
Yin and Yang weirdness.
Ye Qing'an clicked her tongue inwardly, but did not retaliate. She simply turned and left.
The butler followed Ye Qing'an out the door: "Miss has done more than enough regarding Madam's poisoning; she has done her best. Even if Master asks, Miss will have a clear conscience. Miss, rest assured, I will definitely report this matter to Master truthfully..."
"Thank you, Steward." Ye Qing'an looked guilty. "Although I did harbor some resentment towards my mother because of many things, I still understand right and wrong. After all, my mother is the mistress of the Ye family. If something happens to her, especially at this critical juncture, it will be detrimental to our Ye family in every way."
"Mother's accident and poisoning last night were also related to the laxity of our Ye family's guards." Ye Qing'an pondered for a moment, "Father took many of the guards with him when he left. How about this, you transfer more guards from the manor to Mother's place..."
"But……"
Knowing what the steward wanted to say, Ye Qing'an quickly replied, "Second sister, let her rest here with Mother tonight. Father has arranged for several experts to stay with Eleven. The experts Father has trained are naturally capable of taking on ten men at once, so we will definitely be fine there."
The butler pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I'll go and make the arrangements as soon as I get down."
Ye Qing'an nodded: "Then I'll go back first."
After Ye Qing'an left, Granny Wei quickly lowered her voice and said, "Miss, how could you let more guards from the manor be sent here? Liu Xueying is already insane, why bother with her? In the current situation, Miss should take care of herself first."
"Don't worry, Granny, I have my own arrangements." A light drizzle had started to fall outside. Ye Qing'an turned up the hood of her cloak and put it on her head. Perhaps because of the hood, her voice became a little muffled: "If we don't send more guards over, how can we continue the show?"
"Huh?" Granny Wei didn't hear clearly: "Miss, what did you say? What play?"
“It’s nothing. I’m just saying, so many messy things have happened since Father left. Once everything settles down, I’ll have to hire an opera troupe to perform for three days and three nights.”
Granny Wei sighed, opened the umbrella, and held it over Ye Qing'an's head, muttering to herself, "I just hope that nothing else goes wrong in the near future, and I'll be thankful. Liu Xueying's courtyard is usually well-guarded, so how could someone have poisoned her so silently?"
When Ye Qing'an returned to the courtyard, she entered the house and saw Yi Moxu sitting inside.
Yi Moxu was brewing tea with skillful technique and elegant posture, exuding a sense of leisure in every gesture.
"Perfect timing, the tea is ready." Yi Moxu took two cups from the table, picked up the teapot, filled them with tea, and pushed one of the cups to the seat opposite him.
"Your favorite snow-capped peak."
Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips, sat down, and took a sip of the still-hot tea before putting the cup down again: "What exactly is Liu Xueying's condition?"
When Yi Moxu heard Ye Qing'an ask this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "I thought you knew."
"When I saw you last night, Liu Xueying was clearly dead. But this morning, I heard that Liu Xueying has gone mad?"
Yi Moxu stroked the embossed pattern on the teacup: "This Liu Xueying, you hired someone to impersonate her, didn't you?"
"How did you know it was an imposter? Did you see through her disguise?"
"Not exactly." Yi Moxu's expression was somewhat nonchalant: "A skilled medical practitioner can easily determine a patient's true age during an examination. If the age doesn't match..."
Ye Qing'an paused, then looked up at Yi Moxu.
With just one glance, Yi Moxu understood what she was thinking: "Don't worry, medical cultivators with my level of cultivation are rare in this Siyou Kingdom."
"The few people you and the butler invited can at most be guessed at their approximate age. If they are close enough, no one will suspect anything."
Yi Moxu raised his hand and stroked Ye Qing'an's teacup, then gestured with his chin towards Ye Qing'an: "It's not hot anymore."
"She was indeed poisoned, but her so-called symptoms were only three parts real and seven parts fake. What she was given was nothing more than the most common mind-controlling powder found in brothels. The mind-controlling powder was used to forcefully create the illusion of poisoning, and then some fabricated symptoms were put on. The pulse and symptoms did not match, so those quack doctors dared not make a diagnosis."
Yi Moxu looked at Ye Qing'an: "I thought it was you who ordered it. If it wasn't you, then the person you called to impersonate Liu Xueying is quite clever. But..."
Yi Moxu looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze: "How come I didn't know that such a person had appeared by your side?"
