Chapter 211 (2/2)
”This morning, Mother felt a little dizzy and she sent Little Chrysanthemum to find the imperial doctor. A short while later, Little Chrysanthemum came back with the imperial doctor. The imperial doctor then said that mother was only suffering from a common cold and gave her a simple prescription. Little Chrysanthemum was the one who brewed the prescription and the imperial doctor left after seeing Mother consume it.” With a slightly pink face, Princess JiaoYue lay in Chu Ting'er's embrace, still not recovered from the shock she felt on the way back. While she was recounting what had happened in the morning, she was still thinking about the journey from the Ling residence back to the palace! That lightning fast sprint and blood-filled scenery, together with the warm embrace and strong sense of security…
”Wait,” Ling Tian suddenly interrupted her with a frown, ”who was the imperial doctor? What was his name? Has he attended to you guys before?”
Princess JiaoYue frowned and said, ”He has a long beard and is extremely old. I seemed to have seen him before, but I can't remember his name. Right, Little Chrysanthemum should know. Little Chrysanthemum!”
After a few shouts, no one responded and a palace maid said softly, ”Little Chrysanthemum isn't here. I wonder what he is doing?”
Ling Tian's face changed as he asked, ”Where is the prescription? Let me see it!” From Ling Ran's chaotic pulse, Ling Tian was certain that she was definitely poisoned! The most important thing would be to find out what kind of poison it was!
While he was talking, Ling Tian's pure XianTian Qi was channelled into Ling Ran's body. The might of the ninth stage of the Divine Shocking Dragon Formula was indeed extraordinary. The poison rampant in Ling Ran's body was already being slowly extracted from her meridians and forced into an isolated corner of her body.
Ling Tian then sent a different kind of inner qi into her body to protect her abdomen and heart. Following that, Ling Tian sent one wave of Inner qi in the upward direction, and another in the downward direction, cleansing the residual effect of the poison from Ling Ran's organs!
”The prescription is missing! Perhaps the imperial doctor took it!” A palace maid reported back hastily. She could already tell that something was wrong and her face was completely pale! With the strict rules in the palace, losing the prescription was a huge crime! If anything were to happen to Ling Ran, all of them would surely die!
”Do any of you know that imperial doctor? What is his surname? What is his name?” The one questioning was the Emperor, Long Xiang. Hearing that something was wrong, he had already barged into the palace. At this moment, his face was fuming with rage! There was actually someone who dared to harm his beloved consort in the palace! Who would be so bold?!
”This, this maid… doesn't know him…”
”Mmm?!” Long Xiao grunted and the maid was scared out of her wits. Kneeling down on the floor, she pleaded, ”Emperor, spare me. This maid had never seen him before.”
Just as Long Xiang was about to fly into a rage, Ling Tian interrupted him, ”Think about it carefully. What did Little Chrysanthemum call him?”
That maid was frightened to the point that tears filled her face. Kneeling on the ground, her body trembled with her brows furrowed deep in thought. A long while later, her eyes lit up as she said, ”When that Sir entered the palace, Little Chrysanthemum seemed to have said something. It was very vague… he seemed to have said, 'Sir Shu, this way please.' He never said anything more after that.”
Ling Tian's eyes shone, ”Are you sure you heard correctly? Was it Sir 'Shu' or Sir 'Su'?”
Being reminded by Ling Tian, that palace maid's memory was jogged as she said, ”I remember now, he said 'Sir Su'!”
Ling Tian nodded his head silently as he thought to himself,
I should have known that it was him! After so many years, I heard that he had already returned back to his hometown. I never imagined that he would still partic.i.p.ate in this event! Good, very good! We can settle this new enmity and the old hatred together!
