C170 (2/2)

That afternoon, Gao Lang fed Jin Xiaolou her soup and held Lin'er to play by her side. Imperial Physician Fu took the medicine box and checked her pulse as usual.

However, as soon as he placed his hand on it, he couldn't stop himself from saying, ”Strange.”

Gao Lang frowned: ”Is there something wrong with that?”

”Good, very good. Lady Xiaolou's pulse is stable and strong, it's no different from a normal person's.” Imperial Physician Fu returned.

Gao Lang continued to ask, ”Then what is the Imperial Physician curious about?”

”It's precisely because my pulse is just like a normal person's that it's strange! According to this pulse, Lady Xiaolou should have woken up a long time ago. How come sshe still hasn't woken up at all? ” Imperial Physician Fu could not come to a conclusion, he shook his head, ”Could it be because of the Medicine King's medicine?”

”I won't.” Gao Lang said, ”Zou Miaomiao said he took medicine, so he just need to find a doctor to retrieve the needles. As long as his meridians stabilize, he will wake up in a few days.”

”This is really strange!”

Just as she was thinking, the door opened. Wen Mei walked over with her head lowered, to get the soup bowl that Seventh Prince had just fed to his wife.

When the soup bowl was served to him, Imperial Physician Fu's face immediately changed: ”Wait!”

Imperial Physician Fu suddenly shouted and stopped, causing Wen Mei to almost fall off her seat.

”This... ”What's in this soup bowl?” Imperial Physician Fu brought the bowl up to his nose and carefully sniffed it.

”It's minced meat mixed with white peony root. Madam has been eating this lately.” Wen Mei replied honestly.

”Who cooked this soup?” Imperial Physician Fu put down his bowl and raised his head to ask Wen Mei.

”Because I am not at ease handing it over to others, the soup that Madam drinks is being cooked everyday by Sister Nan Yang herself.” Seeing the Imperial Physician's expression, Wen Mei felt that the situation wasn't good.

The Imperial Physician Fu's expression froze, and he shouted towards Gao Lang: ”Seventh Prince, there's a Shi Xiang San inside the soup.”

”Shi Xiang San?” Gao Lang raised his eyebrows, he knew that Shi Xiang San was a type of aphrodisiac. When he could not sleep well in the past, the servant girls below would occasionally burn Shi Xiang San in the smoker.

”That's right.” The Imperial Physician Fu nodded his head, ”This Stone Fragrance has a special smell, I could easily tell that it could be used as a fumes. However, if it was taken orally, it would cost a person's life!”

The Imperial Physician Fu continued to speak: ”I just carefully smelled the Lady Xiaolou's soup. The quantity used to administer the medicine was very small, not enough to kill one person, but if I were to consume it all day long, I'm afraid that I won't be able to wake up. Lady Xiaolou's pulse is stable, but she has yet to wake up because of this Stone Fragrance Powder. ”

Gao Lang frowned, the cold light in his eyes made all the hairs on his body stand up.

Wen Mei continued to shout out, ”It's definitely not big sister Nan Yang. She has long ago decided to serve Madam for her …”

But before he could finish speaking, Gao Lang had already opened his mouth: ”Men, bring Nan Yang to the study room.”

Then she turned her head and asked the imperial physician, ”Is there any hope for Little Lou?”

Gao Lang's heart trembled at the mere six words.

”Of course.” Imperial Physician Fu took out a pen and paper from the medicine box, raised his hand and wrote down a prescription. ”Fortunately, I found it in time.

The prescription was handed over to Lv Yun, who took Lin'er and quickly went to get the medicine.

In the study, Gao Lang sat on the seat of honor, while Nan Yang who was kneeling below had a perplexed look.

Gao Lang raised his hand and threw the bowl in front of Nan Yang. Seeing that Nan Yang was still confused, he could not help but open his mouth: ”Nan Yang, you have been following me since you were young.

Nan Yang hurriedly nodded her head, ”Seventh Elder, I was not good to my wife in the past, but ever since my wife risked her life to save you, I have already promised myself that even if I have to lose my life, I will protect my wife thoroughly.”

”Is that so?” Gao Lang looked straight into Nan Yang's eyes, ”Then who was the one who planted the Stone Fragrance Powder in this bowl?”

”Shi Xiang San?” Nan Yang was shocked, ”I don't know, I was the one who cooked the Madam's soup all day, how could she have been drugged?”

Nan Yang did not lie, the soup that Jin Xiaolou ate everyday was personally made by her guarding in the kitchen, even when she brought it into the Bi Wu Hall, she would only give it to the most trustworthy Wen Mei, afraid that there would be any problems with the food.

He hadn't thought that he would be drugged after being watched so closely.

Nan Yang's breath hastened, her face flushed red: How is that possible, not to mention that I cooked the soup, even the ingredients were all taken a look at by me, seeing how it was handled, who will have the chance to?

Gao Lang gazed unblinkingly at Nan Yang, and seeing that she did not have any intention to speak, her lips tightened even tighter.

After a long while, she retracted her gaze and said lightly: ”It's a good thing that this matter still hasn't been revealed yet. Nan Yang, cook the soup as usual.

”Yes.” Nan Yang replied. Looking at Seventh Prince's gloomy expression, his heart clenched into a knot, and he wished that he could lie there for his wife. Even if he had to lie down, he would feel sick.

As long as Seventh Prince had true happiness, she was willing to do anything.
