Tie Yi had not found the clue to the location of the map, when he heard a message from Chang Shun, "Princess Yingzhu has been sent back, the old lady wants to invite you over."

Tie Yi felt a bit of awkwardness. Seventh Aunt being nice to him was something that everyone could see, but now that he suddenly knew that she had ulterior motives towards him, it wouldn't be as natural for him to face her again.

Duke An Palace's steward stood respectfully in front of Old Lady Feng, gloomily saying, "Princess is afflicted with Regeneration and wishes to return to her own courtyard. Royal Consort asked the servants to send her back."

"If she wants to leave, she can leave. If she wants to return, she can do so. Did she even put me, her mother, in her eyes?"

"Princess is really very sick, even the royal doctors in the palace have no choice but to bring Princess back to the Duke's Mansion to recuperate. However, Princess is still getting more and more sick every day and is also arguing about coming back to the Marquis' Mansion, so Princess can't say anymore. I can't accept this, so the old lady, for the sake of the prince and the royal concubine, please be merciful to the Princess."

Peony supported Old Lady Feng to the Emerald Bamboo Hall while Tie Yi silently followed behind.

A group of people entered the house. La Mei lifted the curtain for Old Lady Feng to come in and see.

This man had only been here a few days, how could he be like a skeleton? The flesh on his face had all dried up and dried up, his eyes were sunken in sockets, his cheekbones were covered with a piece of skin, his lips were dry and cracked, his face was pale, as if he was sick to death.

She tried to speak, but no words came out.

"My son!" The Old Lady Feng exclaimed, "What kind of sickness are you suffering from? How did it become like this? "

Princess Yingzhu's eyes flowed with tears, staring at the old lady's back.

Tie Yi glanced at her, his heart unable to bear the situation, and his eyes carried a hint of sympathy and gentleness.

Princess Yingzhu seemed to have been injected with stimulants, she stretched out her withered arm, wanting to hold on to something.

Old Lady Feng benevolently said, "I will give you whatever you want as long as you get better soon. Peony, go find a doctor. Although the imperial doctors in the palace are good, there are still some that can't be cured. Find someone who specializes in treating difficult cases. "

Peony sighed and went to look for a doctor. The rest of them sat for a while, and after seeing the tired look on Princess Yingzhu's face, they did not disturb him and left.

Only Murong Yuntong laughed coldly in her heart. She behaved well in front of Old Lady Feng and said that she would stay behind to take care of him.

After everyone in the room had left, Murong Yuntong found a reason to send away all the servants beside Princess Yingzhu. She then took out a pill and stuffed it into her mouth, and said with disdain, "Fortunately you came back early, if you had been late by just two days, even an immortal wouldn't have been able to save you."

Princess Yingzhu said angrily, "What do you want now?"

Murong Yuntong smiled faintly, "Even though you're useless, I don't want to do anything to you right now. It's just that it's more lively if you're alive. No matter what, we are still friends, I understand what you are thinking, I do not mind if you have feelings for Tie Yi, if you want anything, I will help you get it, but you have to pay a price. "

Princess Yingzhu sat up and asked, "What is the price?"

"You're not in a hurry yet. When I need you, I'll send someone to contact you. All you need to do now is to take a good rest." Murong Yuntong said with a smile.

"Humph!" Even though I don't know who you really are, I don't care who ordered you to hide in this duke's manor. As long as I find out that you did something to harm Tie Yi, then don't blame me for telling the emperor's uncle that your clan is to be exterminated. " Princess Yingzhu hoarsely warned.

Of course Murong Yuntong would not take her words seriously, she had perfectly executed last night's plan. She had already obtained the map, in order to avoid the same loss as last time, she had to personally hand it over to the person in charge of the contact points.

"Is everything ready?" Murong Yuntong looked at the yellow map in her hands. There was nothing new about it, but since the Father had spent so much effort to obtain this, there must be something different about it.

"Don't worry, they won't be able to find a single flaw!" Dong Yan said proudly.

"It's better to be careful. Keep this well and send it out when the time is right." Murong Yuntong yawned, she had not slept for the entire night, she was so sleepy.

Peony had hired a travelling doctor to check the pulse of the Princess Yingzhu. I heard that his medical skills are superb and her reputation is very good.

He was only seven or eight years old, and his mouth was very sweet. He called her 'Grandma' and called her 'Peony' with great joy in his heart, and his words were also a lot more gentle.

"As long as you are able to improve, I will definitely thank you."

The doctor was slightly afraid, "I dare not give my all, it's just that this matter is a good or a bad one, a bad one is life. This humble one's medical skills are shallow, so I don't dare to delay your esteemed self!"

Peony laughed. "Don't be afraid. Just try your best."

The doctor could only bite the bullet and take the Princess Yingzhu's pulse. He first looked at Princess Yingzhu's complexion, then asked about the time of onset of illness, and finally said a sentence that caused Peony to tremble in fear.

"She's not sick. She's poisoned."

"Is that true?" Peony was amazed.

"She was afflicted with Heart Erosion Powder. This poison is colorless and odorless. People who are afflicted with it won't die immediately, but they will continue to think about it and act crazily. I've never seen a doctor with this poison before." There was something else that he did not say. To the imperial physicians in the palace, finding this poison was not a difficult task. However, for so many days, no one had found it, there must be a reason behind it.

Peony nodded. "Can it be cured?"

The doctor didn't dare to take the job, who knew what was troubling him, so he said, "I can only let the poison take effect for a few days, if I want to cure it, I have to find the one who poisoned it."

Peony and Old Granny replied to Yue Yang on this matter, causing Old Lady Feng's expression to turn serious. What did Princess Yingzhu do? Could it be that it was because she had beaten the Prime Minister Guo the last time? Or was it because Geng Niu had killed Guo Mao?

In the short span of a few days, so many things had happened. How could one endure favors from others when people had first tried to steal from him, then when Tie Yi had been cursed, and then when the Princess Yingzhu had been poisoned?

"Get someone to leak some information to Prince An. We need to make inquiries thoroughly before we can know what's going on." The Old Lady Feng said powerlessly, "If it's just the Guo family, then it's easy to deal with them. But if that person really wants to eliminate my Iron family, then this matter will become troublesome, as long as we make preparations in advance. Even if I have to risk my life, I have to leave a path for my Iron family to walk."
