The Imperial Physicians Test the Poison

But what could she do? She could only choose to continue opening the tool room.

Fortunately, she saw a lot of things when she opened the tool room.

The shelves in the room were filled with tools that she recognized and didn't recognize. There were axes, hooks, hammers, and knives of all sizes.

"Master, you can prepare some materials and place them in the craftsman room now. That's right, Master had better open the well in the Medicine Spirit Immortal Residence again. Whether it's the craftsman room or the kitchen, or the laundry room or the medicine room that hasn't been opened, they all need water…"

Ye Yining nodded. 

"Alright, open the well!"

Seeing that she only had 122 merit points left, she was no longer in the mood to stay in the Medicine Spirit Immortal Residence.

After returning to Freezing Snow Pavilion, she had a new idea.

She tried to put all the silver ornaments she had worn when she was young into the craftsman's room to see if they could be processed into silver spoons.

As soon as he thought about it, a white mist rose from the craftsman's room.

In the next moment, all the silverware flew into the white fog and turned into liquid, slowly condensing into exquisite silver spoons.

Ye Yining was pleasantly surprised. Just as she reached out, a silver spoon appeared in her hand.

The silver spoon in her hand was exquisitely crafted. It would be even better if it could be attached with some patterns.

As soon as her idea formed, the silver spoon flew back to the Craftsman's room to be reforged according to her plan.

A moment later, ten exquisite silver spoons and ten pairs of silver chopsticks appeared in front of her.

Seeing this, Ye Yining was overjoyed.

In a moment of joy, she opened her small treasury and took out all the silver inside. She smelted it into ten exquisite silver bowls, eight teacups, and a teapot.

When the things were done, she immediately packed them in a cloth bag and sent them to her mother's room.

Coincidentally, Ye Yunjiao was also there. She seemed to be crying and was wiping her tears.

Seeing Ye Yining come over, Ye Yunjiao immediately whined to her, 

"Sister, Mother doesn't want me to go to Cloud Border City. Help me tell Mother that I want to go to Cloud Border City too. If Sister is bored on the road, we can keep her company."

Ye Yining raised her eyebrows in disgust. 

"If you want to go to Cloud Border City, what's the use of begging Mother? You should go beg Su Yu 'er or Mo Huanchong. As long as they are willing to protect you, you can go! Also, I don't need you to accompany me. I'm going with Jun Jiuji. He's impatient to bring another person."

Ye Yunjiao's expression suddenly changed. 

"You… Aren't you going with Brother Mo?"

"Why should I go with him? He probably hates me to death now. How can he bring me along?"

As she spoke, she took out the pile of silver she had brought over and pulled her mother's sleeve with a smile.

"Mom, can you and Dad use these silver bowls and chopsticks to eat in the future?"

Madam Ye looked at the silverware and tea set her daughter took out and was surprised. 

"Ye Yining, where did you get this?"

Ye Yining coughed lightly and lied. 

"Jun Jiuji is giving us a gift today! Didn't they say that silver chopsticks could test poison? Although he didn't know how effective it was, it would at least give you an extra layer of protection!"

Madam Ye rubbed her daughter's head gently. 

"Alright, I'll listen to you. Then we'll use it later."

Ye Yunjiao looked at the exquisite silverware on the table in horror.

Why?

Why did Ye Yining suddenly give her mother silverware?

Did she know something?

Thinking of this, she hid the panic in her eyes and said casually, 

"I don't like silverware. I prefer white jade bowls."

"If you don't like it, don't use it."

Ye Yining ignored her words. From now on, she wouldn't spoil Ye Yunjiao.

Even if she couldn't be mean to her in front of others, she could slowly plot against her.

"Sister, why are you so fierce to me?" 

Ye Yunjiao rubbed her eyes and cried.

If it was any other time, both Madam Ye and Ye Yining would comfort her.

But today, Madam Ye's expression was a little indifferent.

Ye Yining frowned even more unhappily. 

"Yunjiao, you've been acting a little strange recently. Am I fierce? Didn't you say that I was valiant and courageous when I used to whip Jun Jiuji? I was so gentle to you just now!"

Ye Yunjiao was suddenly dumbfounded.

Was this the same thing?

Ye Yining saw her expression and a fierce look flashed across her eyes. 

"Yunjiao, I received a mysterious note a few days ago. It said that someone had poisoned my parents in secret. I don't know any medical skills, so I could only ask Jun Jiuji to give me a set of silverware that could test for poison. If you don't like it, you can choose not to use it, but you can't stop Father and Mother from using it."

When Ye Yunjiao heard this, her heart suddenly began to beat wildly, and a trace of panic appeared in her eyes.

How could this be?

How could someone tell on her?

She had only secretly poisoned them three times.

Who was it?

The only people who knew that she had poisoned the General's Estate's kitchen were happy.

No, there was still Su Yu 'er.

However, Su Yu 'er was the one who gave her the medicine. She couldn't betray her. Then, who was the person who told on her?

Could it be that the person who saw her was actually Ye Yining's man?

Regardless of whether it was true or not, she wasn't happy about it.

The only thing she was glad about was that she didn't poison the food today.

Ye Yining didn't know that her actions would make Ye Yunjiao determined to get rid of a vicious dog by her side.

She personally went to wash the silver utensils on the table and immediately let her mother use them.

What was more surprising was that when she was making tea, the entire silver teapot suddenly changed color. At least one-third of the teapot turned black.

Ye Yining's face instantly darkened. The water in the General's Estate was actually poisonous?

She looked at her mother with a complicated expression. 

"Mother, there's poison in the water!"

Madam Ye was shocked. 

"How could that be? This was the well water in the residence! Everyone drank it."

Ye Yining's eyes darkened and her voice was cold. 

"Mother, get someone to bring more water." 

Then, she asked the butler to fetch a little more water from outside the residence.

Madam Ye immediately nodded and quickly instructed her subordinates to do as she was told.

Ye Yunjiao was also frightened. She drank from the well water of the General's Estate!

Wouldn't she be poisoned too?

At the thought of this, she couldn't remain calm anymore.

She stopped making a fuss and waited for Ye Yining and the others to figure out the situation.

Soon, the water from the two wells in the General's Estate was sent over.

After testing, the water from the well in the front yard wouldn't change the color of the silver pot, but the water in the backyard was poisonous.

This made Madam Ye extremely furious. When the housekeeper returned and tested the other water sources, they didn't cause the silver pot to change color, she immediately sent someone to inform her husband.

After General Ye received the news, he rushed back from the military camp.

After personally testing the water and confirming that there was a problem with the water in the house, he brought the silver teapot into the palace.

Not long after, General Ye returned home with a group of imperial physicians sent by the Emperor.

The judge of the Honor Wing led a group of people to extract the water from two wells in the General's Mansion. After a comparison and a series of complicated inspections, they finally came to a conclusion.

"General Ye, the well in the backyard has indeed been poisoned, but the poison is relatively small. Drinking this kind of water for a few days is not a big deal, but drinking it for a long time will make people weak and damage their five internal organs. The water in this well cannot be used for the time being."

General Ye's eyes were cold as he asked in a deep voice, 

"What kind of poison could it be?"
