Liang He and Yan Ling were naturally not people who would care about these things. However, considering that Hong Ye was a girl, it was not very convenient for a grown man like Liang He to enter and leave Hong Ye's room.
If they were careless and saw something they shouldn't have, it would probably embarrass both sides. He only wanted to ask a few questions, so there was no need to go to Red Leaf's room.
"It doesn't matter. Since that's the case, let's ask here." Yan Ling expressed his understanding but did not say anything more.
Seeing that Hong Ye nodded, Yan Ling started to ask, "Are you responsible for all of the soup that your young mistress has been carrying out all this time?"
Hong Ye nodded and said in a teary voice, "Miss said that she can't be at ease. This kind of thing was done by me, but I didn't expect Miss to …"
Yan Ling carefully observed the reaction of the red leaf. The sadness didn't seem to be faked. Sighing, he continued, "We were going to check the dregs, but we heard that you took care of it early in the morning. What's going on?"
Red Leaf trembled in fear when she heard this. She trembled and said, "This servant …" It's about time for you to change the medicine that you drank earlier, so I removed the medicinal dregs early in the morning. However, before I could fry the medicine, I discovered that you had already died in your own bed. "
Yan Ling frowned. This was more or less the same as what she had heard previously. However, she felt that something was wrong. From the current situation, Red Leaf was indeed the biggest suspect.
Yan Ling looked down and saw that Red Leaf's hands were covered in mud and seemed to be bleeding. He quickly asked, "What happened to your hands?"
Hong Ye lowered his head to look, but immediately placed his hands behind his back. He said somewhat nervously, "Just now, when I was digging, I accidentally cut my finger on a rock. It made Miss's heart hurt."
After not being able to find anything from Hong Ye, Liang He and Yan Ling didn't continue wandering around the Censor Manor. Instead, they decided to return to the Crown Prince's Palace and investigate for a bit before making their plans.
"I keep having the feeling that there's something wrong with that Red Leaf?" Yan Ling was already familiar with the way to the crown prince's residence. As he sat on a chair, he tilted his head and said.
Liang He smiled. He extended his hand to offer Yan Ling a cup of tea, and then said, "Something is indeed wrong. Then, what can you tell?"
Yan Ling shook her head. If she really did see it, she wouldn't be as upset as she was now.
Liang He lightly tapped the table with his slender fingers and said, "Normally, a set of medicine can be changed every day. When Bai Yiyi went back to drink the medicine yesterday, it should have been around night.
Hearing this, Yan Ling suddenly realized what was going on. He frowned and said, "So what Hong Ye said just now was definitely a part of the lie. Either she's the killer, or she's covering up for the real killer. "
Liang He nodded, and then said with an uncertain tone, "Just now, when you mentioned going to her room, her reaction was a little too extreme. Who knows what might be hidden in her room."
Yan Ling immediately jumped up and said anxiously, "Then why didn't we go in and search?"
Liang He smiled, and then let Yan Ling sit down, before continuing, "Just like you said, I'm in a girl's room, after all it's not convenient for me to go in, not to mention it's just my guess, what if there's nothing inside?"
Yan Ling also calmed down. He looked at Liang He with some suspicion. Then, he slowly said, "Other than this, are you preparing something else?"
Hearing this, Liang He didn't seem to care at all as he smiled. He said with some pride, "Indeed, I can't hide anything from you. I've already sent people to stand guard in her courtyard. She won't be able to escape my men's sight no matter what."
Yan Ling nodded his head in relief before continuing with his reminiscing. He then said with a curious tone, "Aside from saying that I want to enter her room, when I saw a wound on her hand, her reaction was very intense."
As Yan Ling spoke, he tugged on his own sleeve, which was slightly wrinkled, and then let out a cry of "Ouch!".
"What's wrong?" Liang He was also startled. He abruptly stood up and walked over to Yan Ling in quick steps.
There was a wound on Yan Ling's hand, and blood was seeping out from it. Under Liang He's somewhat painful and shocked gaze, Yan Ling seemed to have suddenly thought of something and used his other hand to pull out the broken bowl in his sleeve.
Ignoring the wound on his hand, Yan Ling said excitedly, "I think I can guess how the wound on Red Leaf's hand came about. I picked this up from the corner of Bai Yi's room. If it wasn't for the fact that I just cut my hand off, I would have forgotten about it. "
As he spoke, he did not notice Liang He's darkening face. Liang He completely ignored what Yan Ling was still saying and pulled his finger.
Before Yan Ling could even react, Liang He had already put his white and tender fingers into his own mouth and used the tip of his tongue to slowly suck away the drops of blood on his finger.
At first, Yan Ling was taken aback. He only felt his finger being wrapped around by a warm and moist mouth and the wound being sucked by Liang He. He only felt a slight stabbing pain and an itch, as if the pain had traveled through his fingertips all the way to his heart.
With a flushed face, Yan Ling pulled out his fingers and lowered his head, unsure of what to say.
Liang He, on the other hand, acted as if nothing had happened. He took the handkerchief from Yan Ling's hand, carefully wrapped it around his injured finger, and tied a knot.
After doing all of this, Liang He patted Yan Ling's shoulder to let her meet his gaze. He then said in quick succession, "I won't allow you to hurt yourself so carelessly in the future. For whatever reason, you are the most important."
After what Yan Ling said tonight, he actually didn't know what to do. It was clearly just a small wound on his finger, even the blood was seeping out. How could it be as serious as what Yan Ling had said?
However, this kind of "making a fuss about nothing" made Yan Ling feel very satisfied. He felt an inexplicable sense of happiness.
"Don't worry, I understand. It won't happen again. I promise." Yan Ling also looked at Liang He's words. Although his voice was soft, he firmly promised Liang He.
Seeing the obedient look on Yan Ling's face, Liang He nodded his head in satisfaction. Then, he let go of Yan Ling and returned to his seat.
"Let's go to see where Master is. If he's poisoned, he might be able to help." Yan Ling cautiously looked at Liang He and asked with a slightly probing tone.
Liang He naturally had quite a number of capable people. The reason why Yan Ling had brought up this matter was only to ease the relationship between them.
