My Lord, my wife said she doesn't have time to talk to you.

Chapter 121 Poisoning

I thought maybe a good night's sleep would be enough.

However, the next morning, when she woke up, she found that the rash on her wrist not only did not subside, but spread to her arm. A long and thin red rash was wrapped around her arm like a snake, causing dull pain.

Huaying realized that it was not an allergy. Seeing this, Qinghe hurried out to call the court doctor for treatment.

Not long after, the Madam and the old doctor rushed to Molan Pavilion. The Madam sat at the head of Huaying's bed in a panic, stroking her face with trembling hands, and muttered, "I have been taking good care of her since she came into the mansion. What's going on? Does it hurt?"

Huaying endured the pain and comforted her mother, "Mother, it doesn't hurt. It's okay. Don't worry."

Madam turned around and ordered the court doctor to come forward to check. The old court doctor felt Huaying's pulse and his face became serious. "Miss, you are poisoned. What have you eaten recently?"

Just as Huaying was recalling her recent diet, the lady looked at Qinghe and Qingzhu who were standing beside her with a questioning look.

Qingzhu hurriedly told the young lady about her recent diet.

Qinghe went to the kitchen to bring the food for the court doctor to check.

The court doctor took the silver needle and tested it one by one. He frowned and said, "Madam, there is nothing wrong with the young lady's usual diet." Then he asked Qinghe, "Recently, the young lady can eat the food that she has not eaten on weekdays."

When Qinghe and Qingzhu looked at each other, they remembered the meal Zuijiangyue had prepared last night, but when they thought that they had also eaten it and there was nothing unusual, and that the young lady had no intention of telling anyone about it, they shook their heads.

The court doctor stroked his graying beard and asked, "Have you ever come into contact with aromatherapy or powdered substances?"

Huaying was shocked when she heard this, and suddenly remembered Princess Zijin's unusual behavior yesterday. Questions came to her mind and she said, "I ran into someone on the street yesterday, and she held my hand. Does that count..."

Seeing this, the lady asked hurriedly, "Child, who did you run into? If she was the one who drugged you, there should be an antidote."

Huaying looked up at her mother and answered truthfully, "I'm not sure if she was the one who poisoned me, but she's the only one I've been in contact with recently."

The lady frowned after hearing this and asked with a worried look on her face, "Since you returned home, you have not gone out unless it is necessary. The only people who have interacted with you and held your hand are Miss Su and Princess Zijin. Miss Su has been busy with the wedding banquet recently. Was it the princess who held your hand yesterday?"

Huaying looked at the mother in front of her who seemed kind and analyzed things calmly. She couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in her heart and nodded.

Madam patted Huaying's hand gently and said softly, "Don't worry, child. We will definitely find a way to detoxify you. You should rest well first."

After saying that, he turned around and instructed Qinghe and Qingzhu, "You two take good care of the young lady. Qingzhu, come with me to boil the medicine." Qinghe and Qingzhu quickly agreed and went about doing what they were supposed to do.

The lady looked at the court doctor and motioned him to come out with her. After the two of them walked down the stairs, the lady asked, "Is there any way to detoxify now?"

The court doctor shook his head helplessly and said, "Madam, please forgive me. The poison in Miss' body cannot be diagnosed yet, but for now, she can take some medicine that can suppress the spread of the poison. After the medicine is prescribed, I will ask my senior brother to diagnose together."

The lady nodded slightly and then said, "Then go and get the medicine." At the same time, she ordered Qingzhu to follow the court doctor to get the medicine.

The lady walked hurriedly towards Chunhua Courtyard, and immediately ordered someone to call Yuexing, asking him to wait for the master at the palace gate, and to take him home quickly as soon as the master came out of court.

Yue Xing accepted the order respectfully, then turned around and walked out.
