Reborn as a concubine's sister, the eldest lady went crazy
Chapter 263: The Medicine That Can’t Kill
"I know what you are thinking, but you are wrong." Zuo saw the deep suspicion in her second daughter's eyes and laughed at her, "You are not a criminal judge, so don't doubt others at will."
Xu Yixing didn't expect her to be so straightforward, so he just said, "Then mother, can you tell me what happened last night?"
"Your father came home drunk last night and fell asleep straight away. I was woken up by his voice at almost five o'clock in the morning and found that he was vomiting all over. Who knew that he was even worse by dawn, so I called the court doctor and gave him medicine, but it was useless, so I asked Xu Qian to invite you."
Madam Zuo said it in one breath without any hesitation, and added: "If my father is in trouble and I don't ask you to be my children, you will inevitably have trouble in the future."
Xu Yixing pretended not to hear the sarcasm in her tone and just thought seriously. If it was really as she said, then when was the poison administered and who could have done it?
Xu Yixing touched his purse, where one of the two Nine-Turn Soul-Restoring Pills that Lu Anyuan had sent to save Yi Yan was still in it. He didn't use it up at the time, and he wondered if using another one now would have any effect.
Forget it! Since my dad has already eaten one, I don’t think it can be solved by eating another one. And if this one is used, how can I explain its origin?
As everyone knows, Lu Anyuan only had one magic medicine, which he presented to the emperor at that time, so he was given the title of "filial piety". If he took it out now, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of him and the emperor? No way.
Seeing that her second daughter had not spoken for a long time, Zuo felt that it was boring and sat back down.
Little did she know that she was feeling a trace of inexplicable resentment in her heart. She always felt that her husband was poisoned at this time. It was obvious that it was because Prince Xiaoyi was going to visit the troops. The person who poisoned her husband obviously couldn't get into the prince's palace, so he harmed her husband!
And now this second daughter actually dares to doubt herself? How disloyal and unfilial!
The maid in the room kept silent. Everyone could sense that there was something wrong in the conversation between the lady and the second young lady. What would she do if a quarrel broke out later?
Fortunately, Xu Qian was fast enough to prevent the embarrassment and suspicion between the two from escalating. The moment he brought Mr. Yao in from outside, Xu Yixing also secretly opened his eyes when he saw Zuo. As expected, no one could resist the temptation of a male vixen.
I should have let Ying Si come earlier. Otherwise, if Zuo falls in love with someone else, how would I explain to my father?
Of course, all of the above are impossible. It would be a real joke if a child were to pretend to be a miracle doctor.
"This is Mr. Yao, the palace physician. He is very skilled in medicine. Please ask him to come and see old man. He will be fine." Xu Yixing briefly introduced him. Mr. Yao was quite polite in front of outsiders. He nodded slightly to show respect and then went to check old man Xu's pulse.
He felt the patient's pulse, turned his eyelids, and checked the coating on his tongue. He did everything he could. After a while, he said, "It is indeed poisoned, but the poison is not serious and can still be saved."
Xu Qian clasped his fists and bowed, kindly reminding him: "Mr. Yao, the master took the Nine Revolutions Resurrection Pill this morning and still hasn't woken up. Is this poison... very powerful?"
"Oh?" Mr. Yao had a serious expression. Outsiders might be scared when seeing him, but Xu Yixing knew that this expression was mocking you, an idiot.
"The Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill can not cure all poisons. If the medicine is not suitable for the disease, you will waste one pill in vain." After saying this, he even showed a regretful expression, which made Xu Qian feel flustered. If this pill was really wasted, wouldn't the general be angry when he wakes up?
Xu Yixing pursed his lips with disdain, you are really good at pretending!
Zuo stood up and said respectfully, "Then please prescribe medicine to detoxify my husband."
"Okay, all of you go out. This is the unique skill of my Yao family. Sorry, I won't pass it on to others." Zuo and Xu Qian had different expressions, but they still obeyed him and went out. However, Xu Yi didn't move. Xu Qian winked at her but she didn't see it at all. There was nothing he could do. Xu Qian felt that he might be worrying too much. Mr. Yao must have treated the princess before, and he must have seen the unique skill.
"Unique skills? You really should learn from Ying Si. Although he is arrogant, he never brags about himself."
Mr. Yao rolled his eyes, still taking Old Man Xu's pulse with his hand, looking unfriendly.
"Why, it's hard to cure?"
"This poison is not difficult to cure. They are all common poisons." Mr. Yao put down his hand and frowned. "It is a mixture of several poisons. The proportions are very delicate. If you really want to cure it, it will take a long time. But why is the Nine Revolutions Resurrection Pill useless..."
Xu Yixing thought it was just a hassle when he heard him say this, but then he started talking about the Resurrection Pill and felt strange again: "You mean this pill should be useful?"
"It's certainly not as effective as a single poison, but it's not completely ineffective either. I don't understand. Is your medicine fake?"
"Humph!" Xu Yixing moved a chair and sat down: "The medicine in my house was given by Lu Anyuan. If it's useless, then it's also yours!"
"How do you know I..." Mr. Yao stopped talking halfway, thinking that it must be His Highness who told him that he could make that medicine. They really have a deep love for each other.
"If it's my medicine, it will definitely not be useless." This is the final conclusion, it is both self-confidence and self-statement, there is no way there can be anything wrong with his medicine.
"Okay, okay, Master Divine Doctor, why don't you prescribe medicine to detoxify my father first, and we can take care of the rest later?"
Mr. Yao nodded, picked up the pen and ink from the medicine box, wrote out a prescription and handed it to Xu Yixing. He still sat in front of the bed, carefully observing General Xu's condition.
Xu Yixing went out and handed the prescription to Xu Qian. He told Zuo about the situation and went to his own armory.
It's not that she doesn't care about the progress of the poisoning, it's just that it's already been done before, and it's useless for her to intervene. And what Mr. Yao said just now was right, giving her a lot of inspiration: he didn't say that the poison has no solution, it's just complicated, and complicated means time-consuming, and time-consuming means that it is not fatal.
This logic was very strange, and it took her a while to figure it out - the person who poisoned her father did not intend to kill him.
It was common knowledge that the Xu family had a Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill bestowed by the emperor himself, so the person who poisoned the father had already calculated that the father would not die. He probably just didn't want the father to be rescued so quickly, so he used a mixed poison.
So what good would it do that person if Dad temporarily fell into a coma?
Xu Yixing's thoughts stopped there, and she really couldn't think of any further information. Even if it was because Lu Anyuan was going to entertain the troops, what was the point if he didn't want to poison his father? Poisoning the emperor was almost the same!
