The next day, Song Yunqian made an excuse to go see the little Princess, and left the palace with Lv Ning by his side.

When he left the palace, it was already noon. Wen Yi had already waited at the Duke Palace for an hour after settling the political matters.

Seeing him arrive, Wen Yi immediately stood up and greeted him.

Song Yunqian's mind was in a mess, he did not know when it had started, but between the two of them, he had already started guarding the Ruler's Hall.

However, this was also good. Sometimes, without distance in their hearts, they could only forcefully pull apart the distance in their actions and pretend that they were alright.

"No need for formalities!" Song Yunqian said lightly.

Song Yungang looked at the two of them and felt that the atmosphere was extremely weird.

Fortunately, An Ran tugged on Song Yunqian's sleeves and asked: "Royal Uncle, where are little brother and sister?"

Song Yunqian originally wanted to bring them out of the palace, but since he did not want to be too flamboyant, he gave up.

Seeing An Ran ask, he smiled and said: "Younger brother and younger sister are accompanying Royal Grandmother and Grandmother, does An Ran want to play with younger brother and sister? How about, when royal uncle returns to the palace, you bring An Ran back as well? "

An Ran happily replied, "That's good. Father said that he could allow me to stay in the palace for a few days, but he never fulfilled his promise."

"That is your royal father's fault. Imperial Uncle is criticizing him!" Song Yunqian said with a stern face.

An Ran stole a glance at Song Yungang and muttered: "If Imperial Uncle criticizes Royal Father, Royal Father will spank An Ran's butt."

Song Yungang was startled for a moment, and then immediately laughed, "This kid, he actually learned how to sue."

Song Yunqian also laughed, "Don't worry, if your royal father spanks your butt, my royal uncle will have people spanking him."

An Ran hesitated for a moment. "Then let's forget about it. I don't want my father to be hurt."

Song Yunqian was moved, "So sensible."

He looked at Wen Yi, and Wen Yi also smiled at An Ran. Seeing Song Yunqian looking back at her, she shifted her gaze.

Unable to look at the tenderness in his eyes, this tenderness was not for her, but for An Ran. It was equivalent to being with twins.

She was the one who made the twins lose their fatherly love for more than four years.

After saying this, he began to talk business.

Song Yungang invited the two inside, and closed the door tightly. Lv Ning stood guard by the door.

Wen Yi said first, "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager isn't sick. She's infected with a venom, the same as Chen Yuzhu."

Song Yunqian was startled, "Confirmed?"

"It's basically confirmed that it was Ke Er who poisoned Chen Yuzhu back then." Wen Yi said.

Song Yunqian had also heard Zhuge Ming's guesses before, but at that time, he wasn't too concerned about Chen Yuzhu, so he didn't know what her illness was like.

"Is there any way to treat it?" Back then, Wen Yi could not cure Chen Yuzhu, but five years later, would she be able to?

Wen Yi shook her head slowly and said with a heavy tone: "To be honest, I don't have any confidence right now. It's already pretty good that I can find a way to suppress it, but right now, I don't even have a proper way to suppress it."

Song Yunqian's heart immediately turned cold by half, "Even you can't do anything about it? Isn't that the Queen Mother? "

Wen Yi was silent, she did not dare guarantee anything, Ke Er's skill in the concocting of poison, was simply too brilliant.

Song Yungang said in surprise: "Ke Er has already died for so many years, why would the poison she refined still harm people?"

Wen Yi said: "I have concluded it before, there are three possibilities. The first possibility doesn't seem to be that Ke Er is dead. The second possibility was that she had taught the method to manufacture the poison to someone else while she was still alive. The third is that the poisonous substance that she refined while she was still alive has fallen into the hands of others and has been used by them. "

When Song Yunqian heard Ke Er's name, he still felt extremely resentful in his heart. "Ke Er was indeed dead, she was personally buried by Lv Ning, you can ask Lv Ning."

"I know that Qian Shan has already told me this," Wen Yi paused for a moment, raised her head and looked at Song Yunqian, "But, have you ever thought that I am also a dead person?"

"But I feel that Ke Er might not have such a fortuitous encounter."

"What if there is? "Who knows." Wen Yi said.

Song Yunqian suddenly felt extremely disgusted in his heart, if Ke Er was still alive, to him, it would be like a sharp thorn.

He thought of his Master and his Junior Sister Qing Er who had died a horrible death, and his heart ached.

Song Yungang said, "This king feels that the third possibility is more realistic."

"Are you saying that someone obtained the poison from her?" Wen Yi also nodded her head, "Actually, I also thought that it might be true, because I have extracted these Gu worm before. These Gu worm are able to reproduce very quickly in living bodies, which means, as long as there is one Gu worm, there can be a lot of them."

When she said till here, she suddenly paused, then shook her head: "No, that's impossible, because, if someone obtained these Gu worm, they would not know the method to place the parasites, and would not know the method to control them. Currently, there has always been someone controlling the illness in the Empress Dowager, so this is not something that an ordinary person can do."

Saying that, she raised her head to look at Song Yunqian, her eyes filled with worry.

Song Yunqian immediately understood what she meant. In other words, the first possibility and the second possibility were the only possibilities.

But, he knew that Ke Er had never interacted with anyone intimately before, and even Chen Yuanqing hated her. With Ke Er's scheming mind, how could she pass on the venom that harmed Chen Yuzhu to Chen Yuanqing?

Consort Dowager Ling? Or was it the person who served her back then?

No matter who it was, Ke Er would never tell anyone about the poison formulas she had developed.

Because this was an achievement that belonged to her, she didn't think that she would fail, and thus, she wouldn't have the vengeful attitude to pass the poison formula down to others as a backup.

To eliminate all of them, there was only one possibility, and that was Ke Er had come back to life. Only by doing so could she explain why she could freely control the venom in the Queen Mother's body.

What Song Yunqian had thought of, Song Yungang had thought of as well. The three of them remained silent at the same time.

Who was Ke Er? It was clear to everyone that apart from her terrifying scheming, she also had her ability to concoct poison.

"If it was her, why did she attack the Queen Mother?" Song Yunqian grinded his teeth and asked.

Ke Er could hate a lot of people, but she shouldn't hate Queen Mother because she had never offended her before.

Wen Yi sighed lightly, "You still don't understand? She attacked Empress Dowager to force me to return to the capital. "

"What?" Song Yunqian was shocked, "Forcing you to return to the capital?"

"This time, Zhu Fangyuan went back to the capital to offer sacrifices to the ancestors, and said that he had met my master on the street, and that my master entrusted him to be his guest to persuade me to go back to the capital. Before this, I didn't know that the Empress Dowager was very ill, so the initial goal of the other party was to lure me back to the capital by lowering the level of their venom, but I was in the Nanshan City, so the information outside was practically sealed off. They had no choice but to come up with a second plan, which was to have someone pretend to be my master, and ask Zhu Fangyuan to persuade me to go back to the capital."

Song Yunqian frowned, "But what is her motive for forcing you to return to the capital? If she wants to harm you, she knows that you are in Nanshan City, and that you are with Zhu Fangyuan, she can make a move against you. "

Wen Yi looked at him with a heavy expression, "That's why, the other party didn't want to make a move against me. They are targeting you."

"Me?" Song Yunqian sneered, "It's fine as long as it's against me. In these five years, I haven't even lived a day's worth of peaceful life."
