Chapter 367: Chapter 368 The Plot Exposed

"Has anyone else touched this medicine?"

Bai Wuheng’s expression was extremely unsightly, because he had detected a distinct smell of safflower—a heavy scent—from the remaining liquid!

The fetus-preserving medicine he had prescribed for Lin Fuying absolutely contained no such ingredient!

Xiaoyun deliberately pretended to ponder for a moment before continuing.

"The medicine was all brought to me from the small kitchen, and as far as I can tell, no one touched it on the way."

Was it tampered with while it was being cooked?

Bai Wuheng was naturally very concerned about Lin Fuying’s health, wishing he could check her pulse three times a day.

Unfortunately, his eager care seemed completely redundant to Lin Fuying.

Thus, making use of Bai Wuheng, Lin Fuying showed no mercy.

"So someone was indeed intent on harming Yingying?"

Bai Wuheng felt incredibly relieved at the moment.

"Fortunately, Yingying didn’t consume much of it, so the child in her belly should not be affected."

"Have you informed Ye Yunting about this?"

After all, Lin Fuying was now a concubine of the War King Residence, and even though he cared about Lin Fuying, he knew some matters were better investigated by Ye Yunting.

He didn’t want to add to Lin Fuying’s burdens.

Xiaoyun nodded hurriedly: "Someone has already gone to inform the Prince."

But what neither of them had expected was that before Ye Yunting could arrive, Bai Wuheng had hurried over.

"Then hurry, tell him that if I hadn’t arrived in time, the child in Yingying’s belly might not have been saved!"

Bai Wuheng was intentionally exaggerating the situation, fearing Ye Yunting might not realize the severity of the matter otherwise.

Sure enough, when Ye Yunting arrived later, his expression was extremely grim.

Lin Fuying was still unconscious, so he didn’t go to see her but instead turned directly to Bai Wuheng.

"What happened?"

Even before his arrival, Bai Wuheng had already gathered the remaining medicine residues on the table.

Bai Wuheng spoke with suppressed anger: "Look at this for yourself. After drinking the fetus-preserving medicine today, Yingying ended up like this!"

"I’ve thoroughly checked, and someone deliberately placed a sufficient amount of abortion medicine in her bowl. Fortunately, due to Fuying’s frail constitution, which caused immense harm to her body, this was discovered early. The child in her womb is unharmed."

Bai Wuheng’s pressing words made Ye Yunting unconsciously frown.

Although he knew Bai Wuheng was worried about Lin Fuying,

he was ultimately meddling too much.

Ye Yunting massaged his temples and turned to Chu Yi: "Investigate."

"Where is there a need to investigate? Whoever did this was certainly aiming to harm the child in Yingying’s womb."

Bai Wuheng spoke through clenched teeth, aware of how frail Lin Fuying’s body was.

If this child were lost, it would likely cost her her life as well!

According to him, the perpetrator behind this act was either Chu Nanli or Yang Xuan, who was still at the Prince Residence!

"We will speak after the facts are clear."

Ye Yunting could clearly understand his implications.

Yet at the moment, although he was not afraid of the Yang Family, he also didn’t want to lose their support for no reason.

"Someone was indeed trying to harm the child in Yingying’s womb!"

Bai Wuheng was already distraught because of Lin Fuying’s mishap.

He was quite discontent with Ye Yunting’s evasive attitude: "You’re right, you didn’t even care about the child of your former Princess Consort, much less others."

He had already told Ye Yunting at that time that they could use the dead fetus as a substitute.

But Ye Yunting insisted on aborting the child in Chu Nanli’s womb.

He should have realized then that Ye Yunting had already become ruthless and decisive.

The three of them could no longer be as close as they had been in their childhood.

"Are you seeking death?"

Ye Yunting’s icy gaze fell on Bai Wuheng, even carrying a hint of murderous intent.

"Hmph, Yingying hasn’t woken up yet, and I don’t want to argue with you!"

Bearing Lin Fuying in mind, Bai Wuheng could only submit.

He glared fiercely at Ye Yunting before going inside to treat Lin Fuying.

Meanwhile, Chu Yi quickly uncovered the maid who had secretly been poisoning Lin Fuying.

The maid couldn’t withstand the interrogation and spilled everything about how Yang Xuan’s maid had bribed her.

"It was the maid beside Miss Yang who gave me silver to mix this medicine into the tonic prepared for the Concubine. I originally didn’t want to comply, but Miss Yang threatened me, saying if I didn’t, she would send my younger brother to the Imperial Concubine’s palace!"

"Prince, please spare my life, I only have this one brother, I really had no choice but to listen to Miss Yang!"

Upon hearing her words, Ye Yunting’s expression became even uglier.

He hadn’t expected that Yang Xuan was truly behind this.

Bai Wuheng became even more indignant, "You see, I told you! That woman was targeting Yingying all the time when she was previously in the capital. I thought that after she left the capital and spent a few years under the Yang Family’s guidance, she should have learned her lesson. But she’s still so vicious!"

"Where is she?"

This time, Ye Yunting did not stop him.

After all, Yang Xuan’s actions had indeed touched his sore spot.

He wasn’t as worried about Lin Fuying as Bai Wuheng was.

He just disliked anyone provoking him.

At that moment, Yang Xuan was still immersed in the joy of her nearly successful scheme.

Before she could receive the good news, she was directly brought before Ye Yunting by the guards of the Prince Residence.

Yang Xuan still pretended to be clueless, "Cousin? What happened? These guards laid hands on me; you must punish them, Cousin!"

"Even now, you’re still playing dumb!"

Bai Wuheng found her face utterly repulsive when he saw it.

Back then, riding on the Yang Family’s power, she had mocked him unscrupulously.

"I’m telling you if there is any issue with Yingying, the Yang Family won’t be able to protect you this time!"

Upon hearing Bai Wuheng’s words, Yang Xuan instantly realized why she had been brought here.

What about that wretched woman’s child?

She concealed the malice in her eyes, continuing to feign confusion, looking towards Ye Yunting.

"Cousin, what do you mean? I don’t understand a word. It couldn’t be that something happened to Lin Fuying’s child, could it?"

As long as that child was eliminated, she wasn’t worried even if her actions were exposed!

After all, it’s just a child born out of wedlock. Could her cousin really blame her for that child?

"You wish! Let me tell you, thankfully, there’s nothing wrong with Yingying’s child!"

"Otherwise, you could have awaited requital in blood!"

Bai Wuheng glared at her fiercely.

Fortunately, Lin Fuying was temporarily safe, otherwise, his attitude wouldn’t be as it was now.
