The gentleman took a deep breath, and then said firmly with determination: "No, the old lady seems to have been poisoned."
His voice was not high, but Yu Linglong stood up all of a sudden, her cold eyes froze with coldness: "Poisoned? What kind of poison?"
Mr. Huang was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "I'm not sure what kind of poison I got, but judging from the pulse of the old lady, it's obvious that the poison has been deep..."
Yu Linglong could hardly suppress the anger in her heart, she shouted in a deep voice: "What do you mean, is there no cure for the old madam's poison!?"
Mr. Huang's face was very serious: "Forgive me for my humbleness. The poison of the old lady has already penetrated into the internal organs. Unless Hua Tuo is alive and Bian Que is reborn, otherwise..."
Mr. Huang's voice gradually lowered: "... Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Yu Linglong clenched her fists tightly, snorted heavily, and suddenly asked a seemingly irrelevant question: "Sir, are you from Qinglian Sect?"
Mr. Huang suddenly raised his head, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his timid appearance just now disappeared.
This expression only appeared for a moment, and Mr. Huang smiled covertly: "I didn't expect Miss Fourth to also know about Qinglian Sect. I'm just a farmer. How can I have anything to do with Qinglian Sect?"
The change in his expression did not escape Yu Linglong's eyes, Yu Linglong smiled coldly and said, "If you are not a member of the Qinglian Sect, why would there be a lotus symbol on your clothes?"
Seeing that Mr. Huang's expression changed, Yu Linglong added another sentence: "Do you want me to ask someone to come in and search you now? Then I'll see how you argue!"
Mr. Huang gradually straightened his back, and his expression became condensed: "So what if I am a member of the Qinglian Sect? I practice medicine to help the world, save lives and heal the wounded, and I am worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth. What is there to be ashamed of!?"
Facing Yu Linglong's cold gaze, Mr. Huang said in a deep voice, "Miss wants to notify the officers and soldiers to arrest me, so please do so!"
Seeing his righteous and dignified appearance, Yu Linglong smiled instead.
Holding the teacup in her small white hand like jade, Yu Linglong lowered her head and blew on the tea leaves gently, and said calmly, "Who said I'm going to arrest you?"
Mr. Huang was taken aback for a moment: "The lady means..."
Seeing his puzzled look, Yu Linglong's face turned cold: "I just want to know why I invited so many doctors to come and see, but none of them said they were poisoned?"
Mr. Huang didn't expect that Yu Linglong wanted to ask this, so he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "I don't know what the previous doctor thought, but in my opinion, the old lady is indeed a symptom of poisoning. perhaps-"
After hesitating for a moment, he said: "... They may be afraid of getting into trouble, or they may have been bribed."
Yu Linglong sneered coldly, that's right, who would want to get involved in the affairs of the deep mansion, not to mention that some doctors would turn a blind eye after receiving money, even if someone could see that Mrs. Yu was poisoned, they wouldn't dare to say it Well, if you accidentally get involved in a fight in the inner courtyard, it's a matter of life.
Even the imperial physician never said it was poisoning, so how could an ordinary doctor dare to say so? As for the doctor...
A cold look flashed across Yu Linglong's eyes, the imperial doctor was invited by Mrs. Mu...
Forcibly suppressing the huge waves in her heart, Yu Linglong's voice slowed down a bit: "Mr. Huang, please think of a solution for the old lady's illness."
Mr. Huang shook his head heavily: "This poison is formulated very cleverly, it will make people look like they are seriously ill, and when they finally die from the poison, they will only make people think that they died of illness. Ordinary people are I can't see it. Don't say I don't have an antidote, even if I do, the old madam's poison has already penetrated into the bone marrow, and there is no cure."
Yu Linglong asked in a deep voice: "If there is an antidote, can it save the old lady's life?"
Mr. Huang thought for a while and said hesitantly: "It's hard to say, it depends on whether the poison can be completely removed, but the old lady is so old..."
Seeing that Mr. Huang hesitated to speak, Yu Linglong had vaguely guessed what he would say next.
Mrs. Yu has been deeply poisoned, even if there is an antidote, she may be too weak to recover.
Yu Linglong closed her eyes and took a deep breath: "Even if there is a glimmer of hope, I will try my best."
Ordering Ling'er to send Mr. Huang away, Yu Linglong looked at the withered Sijilan outside the window and fell into deep thought.
The poison that Mrs. Yu was poisoned must have been deliberately done by someone. Who in the Yu Mansion has the guts to attack Mrs. Yu
Although Yupeng is selfish and cold, he doesn't look like someone who poisoned and killed his mother, so who else could it be
And, where did the poison come from? Madam Wang, Ningshuang, Yinghan and others who served Mrs. Yu were all servants who had followed Mrs. Yu for many years. They were all loyal and would never poison Mrs. Yu.
Only the one who served in the past few days...
Yu Linglong suddenly opened her clear eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Ling'er, come in."
…
In Jingshan Hall, the lazy afternoon sun fell on the ground, adding a little warmth to the room full of medicine smell. Mrs. Yu just drank the medicine and fell asleep. Yinghan sat on the footrest, holding the whisk Wave it gently to drive away the bugs that are trying to get close to the bed.
Aunt Dong was sitting at the end of the bed, looking up at the sleeping Mrs. Yu from time to time, with a look of unconcealable worry on her face.
In the drowsy silence, a small voice suddenly came in from outside the door: "Auntie, Auntie!"
Aunt Dong quickly stood up, and seeing that Mrs. Yu was still awake, she walked out lightly.
A young girl with only hair left was standing at the door, waving at Aunt Dong: "Auntie, this way!"
Aunt Dong walked over and asked, "What's the matter?"
The little maid couldn't hide her anxiety: "I heard from Mrs. Li in the backyard that the third master was catching crickets by the pond and accidentally fell into the pond!"
As if struck by lightning, Aunt Dong grabbed the little maid in shock: "What did you say? Brother Yuan fell into the river?"
The little servant girl nodded hurriedly: "Auntie, go and have a look, it's in the backyard!"
Aunt Dong didn't care to explain to Yinghan, she trotted out of Jingshan Hall and headed straight for the pond in the backyard.
The small pond in the backyard is very remote, and few people come here on weekdays, so the poor women are lazy and don't come to clean it once for ten days and a half months, so the place is overgrown with weeds, and even the path is almost flooded by weeds .
Aunt Dong hurriedly ran to the pond, looked around with her head stretched out, looking extremely anxious, and called out, "Brother Yuan, Brother Yuan! Where are you!?"
A cold voice sounded, and it seemed very cold in the garden full of weeds.
"Don't look for it, he's not here."
Yu Linglong was wearing a lake-blue blouse embroidered with dark flowers, hibiscus and diamonds, and a butterfly hairpin with lace and beads on her head. She had cold eyes and walked out of the grass slowly.
Seeing Yu Linglong appearing here, Aunt Dong shrank her shoulders subconsciously, and bowed deeply: "Hello, Fourth Miss."
Yu Linglong said in a deep voice, "I want to ask you something."
Aunt Dong has Yu Weiyuan in her heart, and her voice is unavoidably anxious: "Miss Si, this servant is going to find Brother Yuan—"
Yu Linglong interrupted her coldly: "Answer my words, and you can go."
Knowing that Miss Fourth was not easy to provoke, Aunt Dong had no choice but to shut her mouth embarrassingly.
Yu Linglong looked at the weak Aunt Dong, and asked each word with a pause: "Who put the poison on the old lady!?"
Aunt Dong suddenly raised her head in fright: "What? The old lady has been poisoned?"
Yu Linglong's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked at Aunt Dong full of doubts: "You serve the old lady every day, and you don't know?"
Aunt Dong was so frightened that her lips trembled violently: "How could it be? How could the old lady be poisoned?"
Yu Linglong said impatiently: "Old Madam, you personally handle everything you eat and drink. Tell me, what's going on!?"
Aunt Dong was so shocked that her face paled, her legs softened, and she knelt down unconsciously: "Miss Si, this servant really doesn't know what's going on, even if this servant has the guts, she wouldn't dare to poison the old lady! Four Miss, please spare the servant—”
Unaware of her pleading, Yu Linglong kicked her on the shoulder, knocking her to the ground.
"When is it? You fucking only think about yourself! Let me ask you, what does the old lady eat every day? Has someone tampered with it?"
Aunt Dong was too frightened to ask any more, so she frowned and tried her best to think hard in her mind, but she couldn't think of anything that seemed to be poisoned: "This... slaves don't know any poison, old madam I just take the medicine prescribed by the doctor every day, and occasionally have some porridge and tonic soup from my wife... "
Speaking of this, Aunt Dong seemed to remember something, and her face gradually turned pale: "Could it be... no, it couldn't be her..."
Yu Linglong's eyes darkened, she shouted sharply: "Say!"
Aunt Dong fell to the ground in horror, her shoulders trembled violently, and she said tremblingly: "The madam brings tonics and porridge and side dishes every day, and I have to remind the old lady to drink it. These days, the old lady is sick. Heavy, eating less and less, the leftover soup and porridge every day were poured out by the servants, and they were poured under the peony flower in the yard... "
Aunt Dong's voice was getting lower and lower, full of fear: "A few days ago, the peony tree died for some reason, and the maidservants don't know if it is the problem with the soup that Madam sent..."
Yu Linglong's fist suddenly clenched tightly, it really is Mu Shi!
Unable to suppress the overwhelming anger in her heart any longer, Yu Linglong kicked Aunt Dong out.
