The legitimate daughter returns to the capital and embarks on a splendid life, tearing apart the fak

"Could you please ask the royal physician to take a look at Lang'er?" Yun Jin said softly. "He doesn't look quite right."

Lan Ying frowned, a sense of foreboding rising in her heart. She quickly waved to Yun Lang, "Lang'er, don't go yet, your grandmother has something to tell you."

Seeing this, Chu Wanqing also turned back, asking in confusion, "Mother, is there something you want to say to Lang'er?"

Lan Ying glanced at Yun Jin, who was silent with her head down. She first sent Chu Zheng to the martial arts training ground, and did not answer Chu Wanqing's question. Instead, she turned to Mingyue and said, "Mingyue, go and fetch the family physician."

Chu Wanqing felt a little flustered and anxiously asked Lan Ying, "Mother, is something wrong with Lang'er?"

Lan Ying scoffed lightly: "What's the panic? If you're like this, you might as well just divorce him, so you don't end up being eaten alive by the Yun family."

Chu Wanqing stammered, "I won't get a divorce. Why should those two scoundrels benefit from it!"

Lan Ying snorted: "Then calm down, don't panic!"

The physician in charge of the household was surnamed Hu. He had worked in the general's mansion for more than ten years. He was highly skilled in medicine and a reliable person.

He was quickly invited in and carefully took Yunlang's pulse.

Yunlang sat obediently in the chair, letting Doctor Hu take his pulse. He would occasionally look up at his mother and grandmother standing to the side, wondering why the adults looked so serious.

Dr. Hu examined Yunlang for a long time, then had him stick out his tongue to look at it, and asked some more questions. His brows gradually furrowed.

As Chu Wanqing looked at his expression, her heart sank lower and lower.

"Dr. Hu," Lan Ying asked in a low voice, "how is he?"

Dr. Hu stood up, glanced at the guests in the room, and hesitated before speaking.

Seeing this, Lan Ying knew something was wrong and quickly said to Mingyue, "Take the boy to find the young master."

Mingyue understood and took Yunlang out.

After the door closed, Doctor Hu lowered his voice and said, "Madam, Miss, the young master's pulse... seems a bit off."

Chu Wanqing gripped the handkerchief tightly, her voice trembling: "What's wrong?"

Dr. Hu carefully chose his words: "Judging from the pulse, young master's weakness is not congenital, but rather seems to be caused by long-term use of a certain medication. This medication won't kill immediately, but it will gradually weaken the body, making it appear as if it's congenitally weak and prone to illness. Over time, the internal organs will gradually fail, and eventually..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was clear.

Chu Wanqing's legs went weak, and she almost couldn't stand up.

Yun Jin helped her up and helped her sit down on a chair.

Lan Ying's face was ashen, and her voice was extremely low: "Are you sure? It's poisoning?"

Doctor Hu nodded: "Most likely. If the old lady is still worried, she can ask another doctor to take a look. But in my opinion, the young master's health has indeed been harmed by the medicine. Moreover, judging from the appearance, it has probably been going on for ten years."

Ten years! Doesn't that mean it started when he was three years old?

Ten years ago, before Lady Liu entered the mansion, the only one who could have done it was Yunheting.

Chu Wanqing felt a chill run down her spine; the person beside her in bed was actually a venomous snake!

She suddenly stood up, turned around, and rushed outside.

"Stop right there!" Lan Ying shouted sharply. "Where are you going? I just told you, and you're still so impatient. Sit down!"

Chu Wanqing stopped in her tracks, trembling uncontrollably, muttering to herself, "I have to go find him!"

Yun Jin went over and helped her sit down in a chair, comforting her, "Auntie, don't worry, there will be a way."

Lan Ying then turned to Doctor Hu: "Is there anything that can be done about Lang'er's health?"

Doctor Hu stroked his beard and pondered for a long while: "Madam, I need to go back and look through some medical books. However, the poison in the young master's body did not accumulate in a day, and removing it will probably not be a quick process."

Yun Jin wanted to say that she had a solution, but after thinking about it, she held back.

Seeing Yun Jin's hesitant expression, Lan Ying said to Doctor Hu, "Then I'll trouble you, Doctor Hu. Also, I hope that no one other than those in this room will know about what happened today..."

Doctor Hu quickly bowed and said, "Don't worry, Madam. I've been in the General's Mansion for over ten years. I know what I should and shouldn't say."

Lan Ying nodded and asked Mingyue to see him out.

Only the mother and her two daughters remained in the house.

Chu Wanqing could no longer hold back, tears welling up in her eyes: "Mother! Ten years ago, Liu Shi hadn't even entered the manor yet! Lang'er is his own flesh and blood, how could he be so heartless?"

Seeing her like this, Lan Ying felt both pain and anger in her heart. She lowered her voice and said, "What's the use of crying? Lang'er is also your son! You didn't know your daughter was switched, and you didn't know your son was poisoned. You are truly an incompetent mother!"

She knew her words were a bit harsh, but she was afraid her daughter might still have illusions about Yun Heting, since it was her own insistence on marrying him.

Chu Wanqing covered her face and burst into tears.

She hated Yunheting's heartlessness, but hated her own foolishness even more.

How come she didn't notice?

Why didn't we discover it sooner?

Lan Ying suddenly remembered something and looked up at Yun Jin: "Jin girl, what were you trying to say just now?"

"Grandmother," her voice was soft but steady, "I can cure my brother's poison."

Chu Wanqing suddenly looked up, her eyes blurred with tears, and asked, "What did you say?"

"I said, I can cure my brother's poison." Yun Jin's gaze was calm and resolute. "I have an antidote pill that my master gave me, which should be able to cure my brother's poison. However, after the poison is cured, my brother's body will still need to be recuperated slowly."

Lan Ying's eyes also revealed hope: "Jin'er, can it really be cured?"

Yun Jin nodded: "My master told me when he gave it to me that it can cure all poisons, so it should work."

Chu Wanqing grabbed her hand as if it were a lifeline: "Jin'er, you must save Lang'er, you have to save him..."

Yun Jin grasped her hand in return and said, word by word, "Mother, don't worry. Lang'er is my younger brother. I won't let anything happen to him."

Lan Ying took a deep breath, looked at Yun Jin, her eyes filled with complex emotions: "Girl, who exactly is your master?"

Yun Jin shook her head: "Master told me not to say. Grandmother only needs to know that I will not harm Lang'er or Mother, that's enough."

Lan Ying looked at her for a long time, then slowly nodded: "Alright, I won't ask. Then, when will the detoxification begin?"

Yun Jin took out a small celadon bottle from her bosom and poured out a pill the size of a longan. The pill had a warm, lustrous color and a faint fragrance.

"Grandmother, how about we let Doctor Hu take a look?" She hesitated and looked at Lan Ying.

Chu Wanqing immediately spoke up: "Yes, let Doctor Hu take a look!"

"No need, I trust you," Lan Ying said, shaking her head at Yun Jin.

Yun Jin said gratefully, "Alright, Grandmother, now have someone call Lang'er back."

Lan Ying nodded and called out towards the door, "Mingyue, go and bring Langge'er back."

The bright moon departed in response.

Before long, Yunlang followed Mingyue into the house.

He looked bewildered, glancing at his mother's reddened eyes and then at his grandmother's grave expression, and whispered, "Mother, Grandmother, what's wrong?"

Yun Jin handed him the pills: "Lang'er, take this."

Yunlang took the pills, looked at his mother, then at his grandmother, and seeing that they were both nodding at him, he obediently put them in his mouth.

The pills melted in the mouth, with a slightly sweet taste.

He blinked: "Sister Bai Jin, what is this? It's sweet."

"It's something good for your health." Yun Jin smiled and patted his head. "After you eat this, you'll gradually get better and be able to ride horses and shoot arrows with your cousin Chu Zheng."

Yun Lang's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Before he could finish speaking, his body suddenly went limp, his eyes closed, and he slid to the ground.
