Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Chapter 1891: Conflicting Drug Properties

As she spoke, Wan Shufang winked at the imperial physician, signaling him to accompany her to take out the things from Cui Yan's mouth. After struggling for a while, Wan Shufang finally took out the things almost intact and wrapped them up.

"Sir, what happened today must not leak out. Please keep the news secret and don't let anyone know that Cui Yan is dead." Wan Shufang frowned and reminded him. After thinking for a moment, she continued.

"Moreover, we have to create the illusion that Cui Yan is alive."

She glanced at the imperial physician, then at Chen Changli, with a questioning look in her eyes, obviously not trusting the imperial physician.

Seeing this, Chen Changli guessed what Wan Shufang wanted to do and nodded gently: "Doctor Li can be trusted, but in order to avoid bad things, please ask Doctor Li to accompany us to the Duke's Mansion to stay for a few days."

Hearing this, Doctor Li had no objection and agreed immediately.

They returned home in a low profile, but the Dali Temple arranged for Cui Yan to live in a separate courtyard, with guards watching over him and providing him with delicious food and drinks all the time.

As soon as she returned home, Wan Shufang isolated herself from everyone and stayed in the room alone. She entered the space and used the tools in the laboratory to test the pills.

The test results came out very quickly. Wan Shufang held the report and frowned.

"Strange, this medicine clearly doesn't contain any harmful ingredients, how could Cui Yan die?"

She narrowed her eyes and looked at the report carefully again, her gaze fixed on one spot.

“This medicine…”

Wan Shufang frowned. She had studied the poison that Cui Yan had been poisoned with before. If her judgment was correct, this medicine would conflict with the medicine that Cui Yan had been poisoned with.

Moreover, the drug was so effective that Cui Yan died before he even swallowed the pill, which is why she was able to discover the clues.

"So that's why. No wonder Cui Yan died so quickly..." Wan Shufang muttered to herself, holding the report tightly in her hand, a dark light flashing in her eyes.

A plan quietly formed in her mind, and she took the list and left the laboratory.

The next morning, after Chen Changli and Wan Shufang got up, they went to find Chen An and Chen Xiyun.

"What? Mom and Dad, didn't you just come back yesterday? Why are you leaving again?" Chen An's eyes widened. He knew that Chen Changli and Wan Shufang had just brought back the seriously injured Lin Zhen yesterday, but he didn't expect that they would leave again today.

"Yes, Mom and Dad, you have to leave. We should live happily together as a family."

Seeing the reluctance in Chen An's eyes, Wan Shufang patted his shoulder and held Chen Xiyun's hand again: "An'er, Xiyun, our parents' original plan was to leave."

"We just encountered some problems yesterday, so we returned to Yongzhou City. Now that things are settled, we naturally have to go to Xingyun Town according to the original plan."

Wan Shufang patted Chen Xiyun's hand lovingly with a gentle look, and after saying these farewell words, she let go of Chen Xiyun.

She put her arm around Chen Changli and they got into the carriage together.

"Since you insist on leaving, I can't stop you. So please be careful and stay safe."

"Okay." Chen Changli nodded and lowered the carriage curtain. Under Chen An's gaze, the carriage gradually drove away until it was out of Yongzhou City.

Chen Changli and Wan Shufang did not notice that in addition to Chen An and Chen Xiyun, there was another person watching them in the corner. After confirming that Chen Changli and Wan Shufang had left the city, he also left.

late at night.

The streets of Yongzhou City were deserted and silent except for the chirping of cicadas, which seemed particularly abrupt at night. The people had already turned off the lights.

In the darkness, two figures suddenly flashed through the alley and headed straight for the Dali Temple.

In the courtyard, the Dali Temple Minister was sitting at the table, and sitting opposite him was Cui Yan. He raised his glass as if he was toasting Cui Yan.

The shadows of two people were reflected on the window, making it impossible to tell whether they were real or fake, but one could hear their voices.

"Lord Cui is very courageous, able to understand the situation and know when to advance and retreat. No wonder he is appreciated by the old Duke."

"Your injury hasn't healed yet, so don't drink for now." After the Dali Temple Minister finished speaking, he drank the wine in the glass and took Cui Yan's glass, as if to stop him from drinking.

During the whole process, Cui Yan didn't say a word, but he made the people watching outside anxious.

Inside the house, the voice of the Dali Temple Minister sounded again.

"However, Lord Cui, there are some things you don't have to keep to yourself anymore. Think about the benefits the Duke promised you. It would be better for you to tell those secrets."

Cui Yan still didn't say anything, but his words gave the people outside hope. As long as Cui Yan hadn't exposed their secrets, they could take the initiative.

"Damn Cui Yan, he really has defected to Chen Changli. We must kill him as soon as possible before he recovers."

A man in black thought silently in his heart, glanced at another man, and made a gesture of wiping his neck.

The man nodded, and the two of them hid themselves again, waiting for the Dali Temple Chief to leave.

They didn't have to wait too long. The Dali Temple Minister in the room seemed to be impatient and stood up, as if he couldn't wait for Cui Yan to reply.

"Okay, Lord Cui, take your time to think about it. It's getting late, so I'll go back and rest." He waved his sleeves and left. As he walked away, two men in black who were hiding in the dark sneaked into the yard.

Through the window, they could see a figure in the house, whose figure was exactly the same as Cui Yan. The two looked at each other and quietly approached the room.

The two men did not break in through the front door, but instead split up, one walking in front while the other went around the back, sneaking into the dimly lit room.

The man in black groped and approached Cui Yan step by step.

"No matter what, I have to complete the task assigned by the master today and completely eliminate Cui Yan. As long as I can complete the task, the master will definitely reward me."

He licked his lips, and in his mind he had already begun to imagine the glorious days that would come after receiving the reward. He did not notice at all that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the room.

As the two men got closer and closer to Cui Yan and the knife was on Cui Yan's neck, there was also an extra knife on their necks.

The lights in the room suddenly came on, and the man in black felt the cold blade and his eyes were filled with surprise.

"No, I fell into a trap."

"Damn it, how did you know? Did Cui Yan complain..."

Speaking of Cui Yan, the men in black thought of going to see him, only to find that Cui Yan's face was pale and his eyes were closed. The reason he could sit well was because his lower body was tied to a chair.

And this scene cannot be seen through the window!

At this point, what else did the two of them not understand? Looking at the room full of guards, they gritted their teeth.

"We have been deceived. Cui Yan has been dead for a long time." The man in black had a very unhappy expression on his face and glared at the guards in the room fiercely.

"Chen Changli is really insidious and cunning. He actually used such a trick."

"Stop talking nonsense, both of you. Behave yourself." The guards tied up the two men in black, not giving them any chance to resist.
