SFS Chapter 627 Poisoned!
Chapter 627 Poisoned!
News soon came from Lu Shaofeng that the Lu family had no secrets whatsoever!
At the same time, He Xiangling also came over in person. It was true that Madam Lu had something on Yang Shi. When the Yang family came that day, they had given a hint, and after they left, they specially sent a letter to Madam Lu.
After much pleading and cajoling, He Xiangling managed to get the letter from Madam Lu.
Mu Xin Nuan took the letter, but before she could even read it, she first sniffed the air, and then her expression changed drastically.
"Somebody come!"
Mu Hua and the others had been by the princess's side for many years. As soon as they heard her voice, they knew something was wrong and they were all on high alert. They saw the princess holding the letter in one hand and carrying it from a distance. "Quickly, prepare a basin of clean water."
Rongyue immediately went to the next room and brought over a copper basin.
Mu Xin Nuan threw the letter directly into the water. In the blink of an eye, the letter was dissolved by the water, and it quickly dissolved without leaving a single scrap of paper.
Mu Xin Nuan asked Rong Yue to bring over a basin of water, carefully washed her hands, and then took a pill, looking at He Xiang Ling who was already terrified.
Where did you get this letter from?
He Xiangling jumped up in fright, her lips trembling as she said, "Your Highness, yes, it was from my mother."
Mu Xin Nuan remained silent, then stepped forward and took He Xiang Ling's pulse. After a moment of contemplation, she put a pill into He Xiang Ling's mouth, and He Xiang Ling seemed not to even ask, swallowing it directly.
After taking a few sips of water, he asked, "Your Highness, what just happened?"
"You've been poisoned."
"Uh?" He Xiangling's hand trembled, and the teacup in her hand shook. Fortunately, there wasn't much water left, otherwise it might have overflowed.
"Fortunately, the poisoning wasn't severe. Now, tell me, how is Madam Lu?"
“My mother? There’s nothing wrong with her, is there?” He Xiangling thought carefully. “Recently, she’s just been feeling a bit weak, but otherwise, everything seems fine to me.”
"Take me to the Lu residence." Mu Xin Nuan's expression was so solemn that He Xiang Ling had never seen it before. She nodded somewhat blankly and followed behind her back to the Lu residence.
After examining Madam Lu's pulse, Mu Xin Nuan shook her head, "The poison has already entered her lungs and internal organs; I'm afraid medicine will be ineffective."
Master Lu and the others were waiting inside the house, and they all trembled when they heard what the princess said.
"How could this be? My mother was talking to me yesterday, and this morning she even ate a bowl of porridge. Her complexion was rosy. How could this be?"
Lu Shaohua refused to believe that his mother had been poisoned!
Master Lu didn't believe it either, but seeing the Princess's confident expression and knowing how skilled she was in medicine, he had no choice but to believe her.
Mu Xin Nuan glanced at Madam Lu, who was sleeping soundly on the bed. "This kind of poison is not easy to prepare. Unless one is an expert in poisons, it is probably impossible to concoct such a poison. It seems that the other party has put a lot of thought into it."
"Your Highness, your medical skills are superb. Is there any way to save my mother?" Lu Shaohua asked anxiously, his eyes already moist. He was truly worried.
"Don't panic, all of you. Rongyue, go and invite Young Master Zhao here. Let's see if he has any ideas."
"Yes, princess."
Soon, not only Zhao Zihe arrived, but Duanmu Chuze also came.
"How did you come?"
"We happened to run into each other, so we came together to check on you. I heard from Aunt Fang that you were also poisoned. How are you? Are you alright? You're still taking care of your child. Will it affect the baby?"
Mu Xin Nuan shook her head and glared at him. How could he ask such a private question in public?
"I'm fine. Because it was discovered in time, the poison was only just entering my fingertip before I neutralized it. I'm more worried about Xiangling. She's been in contact with that letter for a bit too long. Although I gave her the antidote, I'm worried it might affect the fetus in her womb. I'll wait for Young Master Zhao to come over and ask him to take a look."
"Alright."
When Lu Shaohua heard that his wife had also been poisoned, he was relieved that the princess had cured her. However, even so, it was still uncertain whether it would affect the child in her womb.
"Xiangling, are you feeling unwell right now?"
He Xiangling shook her head, her face deathly pale. She had just heard the princess's words; the poison might have affected the child in her womb.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just saying maybe. When Young Master Zhao comes over, he can prescribe some medicine for you. You should be fine. But Xiangling, you must pay attention to your diet and daily routine afterward."
"Yes, princess."
Zhao Zihe came over and first took the pulse of Madam Lu on the bed, and then examined He Xiangling as well. "Madam Lu's poison is probably incurable. However, the poison of the second young mistress of Lu has been cured by the Princess, so there is no major problem. I will prescribe another prescription in a while. Take it for seven days and you will be fine."
"Thank you, Young Master Zhao."
After thanking him, Lu Shaohua glanced at Madam Lu on the bed again, "Could it be my mother?"
Zhao Zihe shook his head. "The poisoning has lasted too long; it has penetrated into the lungs and internal organs, making it impossible to detoxify. You should prepare for your funerals."
Although the princess had warned them beforehand, they were still in disbelief upon hearing such devastating news.
Master Lu also trembled and slumped into his chair, looking utterly dejected.
After all, she was his wife of many years. Although she had made mistakes in the past, how could he not have some affection for her after more than twenty years of knowing and supporting her? Now, upon suddenly hearing that his wife was about to pass away, he naturally couldn't bear it.
"What letter?" Suddenly, Lu Shaohua realized something was wrong and turned to look at his wife.
He Xiangling's face was still a little pale, and she said intermittently, "Mother, that letter was sent by the Yang family. It was handed to you a few days ago."
"The Yang family?" Master Lu's voice suddenly rose. "What exactly happened?"
"After the Yang family came, they sent a letter the next day. When Madam opened it, her expression was a little off. However, the servants didn't pay much attention at the time, thinking it was just Madam Yang's repentance. Unexpectedly, today the second young mistress found Madam and said that the Yang family might have another conspiracy. After the two talked for a while, Madam took out the letter again."
The old woman beside Madam Lu wiped away her tears and said.
Duanmu Chuze's face turned cold. "After the Second Young Mistress received the letter, she rushed to find you? And then you almost got poisoned?"
