It was the medical book that Elder Lu Xuan gave her.
It not only records a large number of prescriptions, but also has dense annotations.
Among them, the paragraph about the erosion of fallen leaves was written by Elder Lu Xuan next to the prescription.
This kind of poison is a chronic poison. The poisoned person will not die immediately, but the spiritual power in the body will be quickly consumed. As time goes by, the toxin invades the internal organs, and the body will gradually emit the smell of rotting leaves from the inside out.
.
The deeper the poisoning, the heavier the breath.
Judging from Pei Zhongtian's condition, he must have been poisoned for several years, and his blood has begun to smell like this.
If he drags on any longer, the smell will spread from his body, and eventually his whole body will rot and die.
Ye Xiyue has a photographic memory of reading, and she has read the medical book so many times that she almost knows it by heart.
That's why she could recognize it so quickly at this time.
but……
Judging from Pei Qingyu's appearance, this poison doesn't seem to be simple.
Ye Xiyue thought for a moment and shook her head:
"Even if I saw it accidentally, I can't remember it clearly."
Pei Qingyu's eyes showed a bit of disappointment.
For a moment, he imagined what clues he could get from Ye Xiyue.
He was quiet for a while and finally said:
"Since my junior sister recognizes it, I will tell the truth. The poison is indeed fallen leaves, and the person who was poisoned... is my grandfather."
Even if he didn't say it, Ye Xiyue would definitely be able to guess it.
So it's better to say it directly.
Sure enough, after he said this, Ye Xiyue's face still looked very calm.
He sighed and whispered:
"This matter is a secret in the Pei family."
If this is the case in the Pei family, people outside will naturally not know about it.
Ye Xiyue understood what he meant instantly.
Too.
The current situation of the Pei family is not optimistic. There are internal and external troubles. If Pei Zhongtian collapses, I am afraid that the Pei family will immediately be in chaos.
So now he is holding on, even hiding the news that he was poisoned.
Ye Xiyue asked: "So... senior brother said before that he was looking for the essence and blood of ninth-grade monsters for his family, and that person actually meant... Mr. Pei?"
"Yes." Pei Qingyu paused, "In addition to me, the second uncle and the third uncle also sent people out. The third uncle's people returned without success, and the second uncle's people are on the way back. I don't know if they are there.
turn up……"
His father was the eldest son of Mr. Pei. He passed away many years ago, leaving only the second and third sons.
The two brothers have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, both hoping to become the one who controls the Pei family.
It wasn't until Pei Qingyu came back that they discovered that there was another strong competitor.
Pei Qingyu actually has no interest in the Pei family, but others may not believe him if he thinks so.
For several years, the second child and the third child have been fighting constantly, but they are also extremely wary of him.
He hadn't told Ye Xiyue much about these situations before, but it wasn't hard to guess.
Ye Xiyue thought of everyone's attitude towards Pei Qingyu after arriving at Pei's house.
No wonder - no wonder their attitude towards Pei Qingyu is so contradictory.
On the one hand, Pei Qingyu was raised outside and had no support from his parents, so he naturally had no say in the Pei family.
On the other hand, Pei Qingyu has outstanding talent and strength, and Mr. Pei values him very much.
The result is yet to be determined. Who knows whether Pei Qingyu will become the next head of the Pei family?
