[Comprehensive wear] You will get used to it

After ordering the two servants to monitor Charles, Duke Louis planned to return to the ballroom to finish this completely unsightly ball, but before he took two steps, he suddenly fell to the side and leaned against the wall, and then he Covering his stomach, he spat out a mouthful of black blood in pain.

"I think the poison in that glass of wine just now can probably kill an elephant." Even after being poisoned, the Duke was still in a good mood to joke, and he looked sideways at Mr. Henri de Foix who ran to him Yang Yi, who supported him together, said, "Dear Sidney, your cousin is really cruel. I hope you won't be as cruel as him."

"You must have felt uncomfortable just now, didn't you? Why didn't you call a doctor!" Mr. Henry de Foix said, punching the wall.

"I thought I would be fine. Who knew the poison was so powerful." Duke Louis smiled. He really didn't expect the wine to be so poisonous. After all, he didn't swallow it and swished his mouth several times. After holding the damn wine in his mouth for a while, he was poisoned, and it seemed that the poison was not light.

Duke Louis reached out and touched Yang Yi's face, and said, "Honey, if you are willing to help me lie down in the room, I will die without regret!"

"Don't talk about death!" Yang Yi said, he must not allow Duke Louis to have any accidents, otherwise the Grandet family will be arrested and imprisoned for murdering the Duke tomorrow. If Duke Louis is alive, With this person's personality, as long as he still likes Yang Yi a little, he won't let anything happen to his family.

I have to say that the butler in Europe is really good. When Duke Louis vomited poisonous blood, butler Charlie seemed to faint from fright, but he still calmly sent someone to call the doctor quietly, while letting People went to the ballroom to watch, lest any guests should catch the scene of them carrying Duke Louis upstairs.

"Doctor, why hasn't the doctor come!" Mr. Henri de Foix was in a hurry in the room, he bit his thumb nervously and waited for the doctor to arrive, but it has been more than a quarter of an hour, but the doctor still hasn't come .

"Oh, Henry, can you stop? My head is going to be dizzy by you, and I won't die. At most, I will be too weak to take care of myself in the future." Duke Louis said lying on the bed, his attitude was relaxed. It seemed that he was not suffering any pain at all, and Mr. Henri de Foix was just worrying about something that he didn't need to worry about at all.

"You can still say such things now, Louis, you almost died!" Mr. Henry de Foix stopped, and he walked to the bed and shouted angrily at Duke Louis.

"Do you know how many times I have almost died in these years, but I have survived, and I have lived a good life. This time I will still save my life." Duke Louis said.

"You will be fine." Yang Yi walked to his bedside with a glass of water and said, he put a little bezoar powder in the water, although it could not completely detoxify the poison, but the bezoar is indeed a universal poison antidote, it is enough to make people feel sick. Duke Louis is getting better.As for the doctor who hasn't come yet, come on, Yang Yi never believed in the Western medical skills before the twentieth century.

"Drink a glass of water!" Yang Yi helped Duke Louis up a little and said, this man has vomited blood several times now, although he only took one mouthful each time, but his condition looks really bad, I really don't know How could he still be sober and talk to them.

"Sidney, it's great that you can be by my side at this moment. Although you must not believe it, I still have to say that I fell in love with you at first sight!"

"I think there must be a lot of people you fell in love with at first sight. So, drink this glass of water quickly!" Yang Yi handed the water glass to his mouth, and after Duke Louis opened his mouth, he fed the whole glass of water to him little by little. he.

After drinking the water, Duke Louis was supported by Yang Yi and lay back on the bed, and said: "The water you fed me is really useful, I feel better."

It would be weird if you didn't feel better after taking the antidote, Yang Yi said, "Then I'll feed you another cup later."

"If drinking water is really useful, then I will definitely stuff you into the bathtub and have a good drink!" Mr. Henry de Foix said angrily, and kicked over the small table with the candlestick beside him.

A few candles burning on the candlestick fell to the ground, and just ignited a cashmere tapestry hanging on the wall, probably because the fuel used for the pictures on the tapestry was flammable, and the flames In an instant, he jumped up and even burned a corner of the silk gown on Mr. Henri de Foix's body.

"Ah!" Mr. Henri de Foix screamed and took a step back. Yang Yi quickly hugged the kettle and went over to help him put out the flames on his clothes.

At this time, the servants who rushed in had also worked together to put out the flames on the small tapestry, and now the tapestry was like a black rag, puffing up black smoke on the ground, and the floor and walls were covered with water. The fine wallpaper on the wall had been burned, leaving a large burnt mark.Mr. Henri de Foix, who was standing by the side and was splashed by Yang Yi, was taking off his coat in embarrassment. He probably had never been so humiliated since he was a child, and his face was extremely ugly.

"Haha, Henri de Foix, you have pleased me very well. I think I am reluctant to die this time no matter what!" Duke Louis said while lying on the bed, but he didn't laugh for long. , because soon he was choked by the poisonous blood rushing up his throat, and he was almost choked to death by the poisonous blood.

"Louis, if you choke to death by poisonous blood, I will definitely write this on your epitaph." Mr. Henry de Foix wiped the water on his face, and then continued to complain: "Damn it, we've all experienced a fire here, why hasn't the doctor come yet, did he crawl over?"

They waited for a few more minutes before the doctor was finally brought in. His family lived across from the Ducal Palace of Anjou, across from the city of Saumur, so even the horses were about to be whipped to death by the servants of the Duke's palace when they came. Yes, it still took a lot of time to get here.

Dr. Carter is the only doctor in Saumer City. He has been in the medical profession for 40 years, but he never thought that he would one day see a doctor for a Duke. He walked to the Duke with his broken medical box in fear. In the room, I lowered my head and tried not to let myself see things I shouldn't see.After walking to the bedside, Dr. Carter took off his hat and bowed to Duke Louis, "His Royal Highness, please let me diagnose for you. Do you have any discomfort?"

"I'm poisoned, and I feel uncomfortable all over," Duke Louis said.

"Poisoned!" Dr. Carter screamed with his eyes wide open. He felt that his life was in danger, because as an ordinary doctor in a small town, he really shouldn't hear about this kind of secrets among nobles.

"Yes, check me quickly, and then give me the antidote." Duke Louis said, his tone was as light as saying "I'm hungry, give me a piece of bread quickly".

"Then, then, Your Royal Highness, you, what kind of poison are you suffering from!" Doctor Carter's face was pale, and his face was covered with cold sweat. He felt that there was a knife on his neck now. If the Duke's poison is not good, he will definitely be killed.

"Are you a doctor after all, shouldn't you tell us what kind of poison you have?" Mr. Henry de Foix said.

Dr. Carter flinched in fright. He forced himself to calm down, and then took a medical tool to help Duke Louis check it out. The result of the examination made him heave a sigh of relief, although Duke Louis looked bad and vomited some Poisonous blood, but the body is not seriously affected.

"Then how did His Highness the Duke get poisoned? Did he eat something? Please give me that thing."

"After drinking this." Butler Charlie, who had been standing aside, immediately handed over a glass of poisoned wine that Yang Yi and the others had forgotten in the living room.

After Dr. Carter examined the glass of poisoned wine, he decided that the Duke had been poisoned by an ancient botanical poison called bitter almond tea, which had a faint almond flavor and tasted like Same with almond tea.This kind of poison is rarely used now, because everyone now uses colorless and odorless poison, but this kind of poison has a characteristic, its toxicity is quite strong, most people only need to eat a bite of food with this poison would immediately die a painful death, so there are always some people who will use it.

Dr. Carter wants to thank God very much. He will definitely donate dozens of francs to the church after he goes, because he is so lucky. There is no antidote for the poison of bitter almond tea, and he does not know how to treat it. However, Duke Louis The toxicity is very low, just need to let out a little blood and he will recover.

The music stopped downstairs again. Yang Yi took out his pocket watch and looked at it. It was almost midnight and the dance was about to end, so he said, "Louis, the dance is about to end. I think I should go."

"No, you have to stay with me, don't forget why I am like this." Duke Louis said willfully.

Duke Louis had to doubt Yang Yi, because it was too coincidental. He and Sidney came to Saumur at almost the same time. According to his investigation, there was no rumor about Mr. Grandet's illegitimate son before. It was as if he had suddenly appeared in this world, and he happened to be the type that Duke Louis liked.And just now Yang Yi felt that there was something wrong with the wine almost instantly, even Duke Louis, who was used to being poisoned since childhood, was just not sure, so it was really difficult not to make people doubt this.

Yang Yi's question to Duke Louis was just a test. After all, Charles who poisoned him had a close relationship with him. Although he seemed to be a victim, after all, only Duke Louis was poisoned. He just wanted to see what attitude Duke Louis had. That's all, it seems to be okay now, it's just suspicion, not sure that he participated in the poisoning plan.As long as you find the real murderer behind the scenes, Grandet's family will be fine. For now, he has to stay here as a hostage.

At the end of the dance, Yang Yi was staying overnight, and Grandet's family expressed their happiness.Mr. Grandet was purely happy for his son, and it was a great honor to befriend a duke.Madame Grandet and Eugenie were happy because they would not have to see Yang Yi tonight.

When the Grandet family went back in the carriage, Charles had already packed his things and was about to leave Saumur overnight. Now he didn't dare to think about the baronship he had expected before. He just wanted to save his life. He killed someone, but at that time Under the circumstances, he could only make that choice. If he didn't resist, he would be the one who died.But even if he survived, it would be better than death, because in the future he would no longer be able to appear in front of people openly, and he would become a vagabond.

When Charles packed up his things and was about to leave, the Grandet family came back. He hurriedly hid in his room, planning to wait until everyone fell asleep before leaving.

Eugenie waited in the room for several hours. After making sure that Mr. Grandet and Mrs. Grandet were asleep, she immediately ran quietly to the door of Charles' room, and opened the door carefully, "Cousin, Are you asleep?"

Standing in the room, Charles was so nervous that he almost jumped up, "Cousin, why haven't you slept yet?"

"Cousin, why don't you go to bed?" Eugenie was surprised to see that Charles was still wearing the clothes from the ball, and then she saw the suitcase in the middle of the room, and Eugenie looked at it in disbelief. Looking at Charles, she went in and opened the closet, and asked in disbelief after seeing that there was nothing in it: "Cousin, what are you doing?"

"My friend asked me to live with him, so I'm going to get out of here."
