The next morning, Xiaoqing left with Ao Ningshuang, Ao Qingmei, Hu Meiniang, and Caiyin after they recovered from their injuries. With their sudden departure, Baoan Hall suddenly became deserted, lacking the lively atmosphere of the past.
After separation, one knows the pain of missing someone. Without Xiaoqing by her side, Bai Suzhen felt empty in her heart. For the first time, she experienced the feeling of missing someone. It felt like she was in the same place, but her heart was flying to the person she was thinking about. What she saw and thought about was the person in her heart. She had just separated and was looking forward to his return every day. If it weren't for the growing reputation of Bao'an Hall, Xu Xian's superb medical skills were recognized by more and more patients. There were many patients going in and out of Bao'an Hall for medical treatment every day. Bai Suzhen was busy, so she just distracted her mind a little. She really didn't know how to survive from sunrise to sunset every day, and slowly survive until Xiaoqing came back from the Dragon Palace. However, as the reputation of Bao'an Hall gradually spread, troubles also came.
On the third day after Xiaoqing returned to the Dragon Palace, early in the morning, Bai Suzhen had just finished washing up when there was a sudden and urgent knock on the door, accompanied by Bai Fu's calm but slightly anxious voice.
"Miss Bai, are you up yet? Bai Fu has something urgent to report."
"Bai Fu, what happened? Why are you so anxious?" Bai Suzhen opened the door and saw Bai Fu outside breathing slightly, as if he had run all the way here.
Bai Fu said solemnly: "Miss Bai, go and have a look, something has happened."
Bai Fu was always steady, and he said that if something happened, it was obviously not a small matter. Bai Suzhen only looked at him and nodded, "Okay, let's go." She walked out of the room and walked side by side with Bai Fu, asking, "Bai Fu, what happened? Tell me first."
But Bai Fu said, "Miss Bai, when Xiao Qian opened the door this morning, he found two people, one old and one young, lying at the door of our Baoan Hall. They looked like a grandfather and grandchild. At first, Xiao Qian saw that their clothes were tattered and thought they had fainted from hunger and fell at the door of Baoan Hall. But when he went forward to take a closer look, he found that their faces were black and they were poisoned. So he hurriedly asked someone to carry them into the Baoan Hall. I have just seen the poisoned grandfather and grandchild. Their breath is very weak. If they are not rescued, they are afraid that their lives will be in danger. Ziying, Heimian and I don’t know how to detoxify and save people, and we dare not act rashly, so we just arranged them in the wing room, and asked Xiao Qian to ask Doctor Xu to come quickly, and at the same time, I rushed to ask Miss Bai to save them."
Bai Suzhen nodded, and without further questioning, she just said, "Let's hurry up." She quickened her pace, but although her pace was hurried, her expression was calm and steady, not at all flustered. When they reached the wing room and pushed the door open, they saw the other four of the Five Dragon Envoys were all present.
"Miss Bai." The four of them spoke respectfully and made way at the same time, only to see an old man and a young man lying side by side on the bed.
Bai Suzhen nodded slightly to the four emissaries, walked forward, came to the bedside, took a closer look, and her heart suddenly sank. Lying side by side on the bed was an old woman of about 60 years old and a girl of about 7 or 8 years old. Both of them had dark complexions and purple lips. It was obvious that they were poisoned. If they were not rescued in time, their lives would be in danger. After calming down, Bai Suzhen did not dare to delay, and hurriedly cast a spell to protect the two people's heart pulses, and then stretched out her hand to take the pulses of the two people lying on the bed.
Bai Fu and others looked at Bai Suzhen nervously, only to see her brows gradually furrowed and her expression becoming more and more solemn.
"Heimian, go outside the Bao'an Hall and see if there are any suspicious people around." Bai Suzhen suddenly gave the order.
Heimian didn't understand what he meant, but he quickly agreed and slipped out.
"This grandmother and granddaughter were poisoned by the red-crowned crane." After taking their pulses, Bai Suzhen took a deep look at the grandmother and granddaughter lying on the bed, frowned, and there was a thoughtful look in her eyes.
"Crane's Beak?" The five Dragon Envoys looked at each other quickly and gasped at the same time. They had all heard that Crane's Beak is a deadly poison in the world and it would be difficult to cure even if Hua Tuo were alive.
"Could it be that the grandparents and grandchildren offended someone? They were given such a vicious poison. The other party obviously wanted to kill them." Ziying looked at the grandparents and grandchildren on the bed, and felt full of sympathy for them. She instinctively guessed that the grandparents and grandchildren were poisoned and murdered, rather than committing suicide. After all, committing suicide only requires taking ordinary deadly poisons, and there is no need to take the extremely toxic Crane's Beak Red.
Bai Suzhen glanced at Ziying but didn't say anything. At this time, Heimian came back and said, "Miss Bai, I just went out to check and found a man in the opposite alley who was looking at our Baoan Hall in a sneaky way. I don't know what his intention is.
"That's right, it's just as I expected." Bai Suzhen sighed and shook her head secretly. As expected, a tall tree attracts the wind.
"Could it be that the person who poisoned the grandparents and grandchildren was afraid that they would not die, so he waited outside our Bao'an Hall and wanted to make final confirmation?" Ziying frowned and guessed.
"No." Bai Suzhen shook her head and met Ziying's doubtful gaze. She said in a solemn tone, with a slightly cold and sarcastic voice, "They are not afraid that the grandparents and grandchildren will not die, but they are afraid that after the grandparents and grandchildren die, our Baoan Hall will secretly dispose of their bodies."
"Why?" Ziying asked in confusion.
"Because the people who poisoned the grandfather and grandson were not targeting them." Bai Suzhen glanced at Ziying, then glanced at the other four envoys. With a serious expression, she said word by word: "Their target is our Baoan Hall."
"Ah?" The five dragon envoys were stunned at the same time, their faces showing confusion. Bai Fu asked in confusion: "Miss Bai, what do you mean?"
Bai Suzhen's eyes fell back on the two people lying on the bed, but she slowly explained: "Crane's Beak Red is a banned drug. Ordinary people would not have such a thing. These two people were poisoned by this poison. It is obvious that someone deliberately poisoned them. And these two people happened to be lying outside our Bao'an Hall after being poisoned. This is probably not a coincidence at all, and the results of Heimian's investigation just now have confirmed this. I guess someone must want to use this to frame our Bao'an Hall." After a pause, he turned his head to meet the eyes of the Five Dragon Envoys who were more and more surprised and shocked as he listened, and slowly said: "The person who poisoned these two people must be a very scheming person. He expected that after we found these two people, he would definitely try his best to rescue them. However, the poison of Crane's Beak Red is incurable, and these two people will eventually die. At that time, he secretly reported to the authorities, saying that our Bao'an Hall failed to save people and instead killed people. It will be difficult for us to defend ourselves at that time."
Ziying took a deep breath and said incomprehensibly, "How could someone harm our Baoan Hall?"
Bai Suzhen sighed and said, "If I'm right, it's obvious that our Baoan Hall is so big that it attracts people's attention. They deliberately poisoned the grandparents and grandchildren, and then framed our Baoan Hall..." She looked at the grandparents and grandchildren on the bed and said apologetically, "It's because of this that the grandparents and grandchildren were harmed by the evil people." Her eyes gradually became sharp, and Bai Suzhen suddenly clenched her hands secretly, and said firmly, "I will definitely save the grandparents and grandchildren and seek justice for them."
The author has something to say: I recently watched the new version of Goodbye Sunny Days and I felt it was pretty good. Bao Jianfeng and Sun Li are both my favorites and I quite like the pairing of these two. You might want to take a look at it when you are bored.
PS: I suddenly noticed that there are more and more time-travel dramas. Unfortunately, except for A Step into the Qin Dynasty, I really don’t think any of them are well-made. I hope there will be some good ones in the future.
