"My mother didn't care about the concubine. She treated her the same as other concubines. But the concubine had a guilty conscience and always felt that my mother wanted to harm her. During the entire pregnancy, she was a little too worried, which led to premature birth. After giving birth to Su Siyao, her health has been poor."

Su Jieyu paused.

She didn't know these things at first.

It was after she asked her mother to investigate Su Siyao that her mother noticed something and told her about this feud.

"Su Siyao was born prematurely and has had a bad health since she was a child. Her biological mother always thought that my mother wanted to harm her and was suspicious all day long. Later, my mother felt annoyed and gave her an additional option. My mother said that she could take her daughter to live in a manor outside. She could choose the people to take with her to the manor and arrange all the affairs in the manor by herself."

"Su Siyao's mother couldn't wait to choose this path and left with Su Siyao. After that, my mother really didn't interfere with the affairs of the manor."

"About six years later, the concubine died. My mother sent someone to pick Su Siyao back, but Su Siyao refused. My mother was too lazy to care and just let her go. "

"A few years ago, Su Siyao came back and said she wanted to go home. My mother took her back without any excuses."

"Originally, she has always been a well-behaved and lovely person. I also felt sorry for her leaving home when she was young, so I took good care of her. This bracelet was given to me by her to thank me for my care."

"It's just that recently, an old man in the manor let it slip, and my mother learned that Su Siyao was not in the manor for most of the time for several years. Where can she, a woman, go?"

"My mother continued to investigate, and although she did not find her whereabouts, she dug up some bodies underground. These bodies were all missing people near the village. Their bones were black, vaguely like they died of poisoning."

"After asking the people in the village in detail, someone pointed out that for a while, they always had various inexplicable symptoms. Some people had red and itchy skin, some people suddenly couldn't speak, and some people suddenly had unbearable pain... Almost everyone had these symptoms, but after a period of time, they would slowly get better. They just thought that there was something wrong with the environment of the village and never thought about it in other directions."

"After careful questioning, it was found that these people developed these symptoms after Su Siyao returned home, and Su Siyao herself was not affected at all."

Su Jieyu said slowly, "My mother therefore suspects that my concubine sister is not a simple person. Now she is searching for evidence. Once the evidence is sufficient, she will take it to the government office. After hearing this, I also remembered the bracelet."

"When I put on the bracelet, I felt weak, but when I took it off, I felt better immediately. I had never thought about it before, but now that I think about it, it is terrifying! I dare to ask the imperial physician to carefully examine the bracelet. If there is really something wrong with the bracelet, my concubine sister must have learned some extraordinary skills outside."

Su Jieyu's narration connected the whole incident.

Jiang Zhimiao was listening attentively.

Su Siyao had always been a ruthless person.

Since the corpses below showed symptoms of poisoning, it was probably related to Su Siyao.

Was Su Siyao testing poison on them?

The people in the manor suddenly developed various symptoms, which should be Su Siyao testing medicine on them.

However, Su Siyao did not dare to kill such servants who were officially registered.

Those who were cruelly killed by her should be poor people who no one cared about. Otherwise, it would not have taken several years for this matter to be dug up.

Yue Lin nodded and ordered a guard to take the bracelet away.

Then he said, "Your concubine sister is indeed problematic. I just received news that she was taught by the Medical Saint, but she betrayed her master and ancestors. She actually put the Medical Saint, Shangguan Bo, in a pitcher and hid it in an underground secret room. Chen Shuyi, your mother's illness is also related to this person."

Chen Shuyi looked as if she had just found out. She said in surprise, "My mother has no grudges against this person. Why would she do such a thing!"

Yue Lin looked at Chen Shuyi's surprised face and was silent for a while.

These concubines of his were better at acting than each other.

Yue Lin said slowly, "The case is still under investigation, and her motive is still unknown. Concubine Su provided new clues, and further investigation will be carried out next."

"Your Majesty." An Zhaoyi said, "This Su Siyao is unscrupulous with her poison skills, Your Majesty must not let her go."

"Yes, this person is too dangerous."

"This is what has been discovered. I don't know how many people she has killed in the places that have not been discovered."

Everyone started talking.

Yue Lin just watched them act calmly.

Jiang Zhimiao also pretended to hold her handkerchief, "Yes, yes, this is too terrible. If this matter is not investigated, I will not be able to sleep at night. Huh, huh, huh."

Yue Lin's expression changed immediately, and he hurriedly said softly, "Miaomiao, don't be afraid. Su Siyao has been imprisoned and will never get out in this life. I will come to Fengyi Palace early in the evening to prevent Miaomiao from being frightened."

Jiang Zhimiao: "???"

[I just said it casually! Why do I feel that this dog boss looks like he has seized some opportunity.]

Everyone looked at Yue Lin in a speechless manner.

Your Majesty, couldn't you have some shame?

Jiang Zhimiao coughed lightly and forcibly changed the subject, "Your Majesty said that Su Siyao stuffed Shangguan Bo into a pitcher and placed it in an underground secret room. I wonder how this was discovered?"

Jiang Zhimiao's eyes were a little curious.

In fact, she wanted to know what the poisonous insect was all about?

Were there such magical things in this world?

Should she also raise a few cute insects for fun?

Yue Lin smiled, "It was Shangguan Bo's wife who found the Capital. On the surface, she used the Gu worm to find people, and then she found Shangguan Bo's location."

Jiang Zhimiao was even more curious, "On the surface?"

[Is there another secret behind this matter?]
