”Imperial Physician, how is it? ”How could she faint? Yue Er is not a weak person.” Lian Yan Qing asked somewhat anxiously.
”Your majesty, Prime Minister, the young miss Lian fainted because of poison.” After a long while, the imperial physician straightened up and clasped his fists.
”Poisoned?” Everyone was shocked. How could he have been poisoned?
Feng Qianyue stood outside the crowd, his eyes like torches as he closely stared at Lian Yue's face. He tried to find the flaw she pretended to have, but her face was red and her forehead was covered in sweat.
”Imperial Physician, what poison did my big sister get?” Is there any hope? ” Lian Fang, who was tightly holding Lian Ruyue's hand, asked in a tight voice.
”Please calm down, young master Lian.” The imperial physician took out a silver needle and lightly pricked Lian Ru Yue's forehead, causing a droplet of blood the size of a green bean, then pricking both sides of Lian Ru Yue's wrist.
”Cough …” After a while, Lian Ruyue finally opened her eyes slowly and looked around in a daze.
”Elder sister, you're awake!” Lian Fang shouted happily.
”This is …” ”What's wrong?” Her eyes were blank and filled with fear.
”You just fainted. What's wrong?” Feng Yunzheng asked.
”I …” Lian Ruyue propped herself up and said, ”Actually, more than two hours ago, I felt a little uncomfortable and my chest felt a little stuffy. I really couldn't hold it in any longer, so I stood up and I didn't know anything after that.”
When she was speaking, she touched her head. The scarlet gold jadeite steps on her head shook, inadvertently hitting her hand.
”Hold on!” Suddenly, Imperial Physician Hua seemed to have noticed something and spoke up.
”What happened? Did you discover something?” Lian Fu hurriedly asked. Imperial Physician Hua cupped his hands. ”Eldest Miss, if you've offended me, please let this lowly subordinate have a look at your steps.”
”Alright.” Lian Ruyue raised her hand and took Bu Zhou from the top of her head and gave him to Imperial Physician Hua. After hearing the results, Imperial Physician Hua carefully examined him.
”Imperial Physician, is there a problem with this step?” The empress asked, while Consort Xuan was stunned. She was the one who gave this step to Lian Ruyue, what problems would there be?
Imperial Physician Hua said, ”Esteemed Empress, may I borrow the tea by your side?”
”Sherry.” Empress Dowager ordered Sherry, her maid, to bring the teacup to Imperial Physician Hua. He placed one end of the pendant into the teacup. Not long after, the teacup gradually darkened until it was red and brown.
”What's going on?” Everyone was shocked and asked.
”Miss Lian, how long have you been wearing this one on your head?” The imperial physician asked Lian Meng Yue.
Lian Ruyue thought for a while and said, ”This step was given to me by Empress Xuan yesterday evening. I saw that it was really pretty, so I wore it at the time.”
”Imperial Physician, why did the color of the tea change? Is there a problem with this step? ” the Empress asked.
Imperial Physician Hua took a step forward and bowed. ”Reporting to the emperor, Empress, this step is covered with the fruit juice refined from the Mandala Fruit. Mandala's entire body is poisonous, and the fruit juice from it is the most toxic. Occasionally, he would come across her hands, and the poison would slowly invade her body. After twelve hours, her chest would become stuffy, and her heart would palpitate. This was the reason why First Miss had fainted just now.
More than forty-eight hours later, the toxicity will intensify, followed by hallucinations, delirium, restlessness, tonic or clonic convulsions, coma, superficial breathing, and other severe signs before the heart stops abruptly and dies. ”
”Then big sister now …” Is there any hope? ” This was the problem that Lian Fu was most concerned about.
”Young Master Lian, don't worry. Because we discovered it in time, let this lowly servant give you a few potions and drink them. Once you have a clear understanding of the poison on your skin, you will be able to recover completely.” The Imperial Physician's words caused even Yan Qing and Lian Fu to relax, and even Ru Yue to heave a sigh of relief.
