Chapter 206 Poisoned
Zhuang moved the quickest to grab Zongyuan, who was about to slip under the table.
Zhuang held Zongyuan in his arms and shook Zongyuan's arms, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, wake up. What happened to you?"
Zongyuan did not respond at all, so Zhuang reached out to push the place between his nose and his mouth real hard to test whether he was alive or not. Zongyuan's eyes were still tightly closed and he didn't seem to wake up at all.
This time, Zhuang was really anxious. If something happened to Zongyuan in his residence now, he could not bear the responsibility.
Zhuang was so anxious that the veins on his forehead were about to burst out. He immediately shouted at the guards standing at a distance, "Hurry up! Get the doctor over here quickly!"
Shaoling was no less worried than him. After all, it was his brother who passed out.
Yet Shaoling found it even more strange. It was clear that Zongyuan hadn't even eaten a single bite of food, so how could he suddenly pass out for no reason? Even without any sign?
The Su family also kept a private doctor, which came in handy at this time. The doctor was dragged by the guards to run over and was still panting when he got to them.
Zhuang didn't even have time to let him take a break, so he directly ordered, "Dr. Li, take a look at Prince Mu. What's wrong with him?"
Hearing that it was the prince who was ill, Doctor Li did not dare to slight him and immediately reached out his hand to touch his wrist.
If anything happened to Prince Mu, the entire Su family would have to be buried with him. Therefore, Dr. Li could hardly get out of it.
Prince Mu's heart was beating extremely fast. Dr. Li frowned and felt the beating of his wrist pulse carefully.
Only after a long time did Dr. Li open his eyes.
As soon as Dr. Li opened his eyes, he met a pair of bloodshot eyes. Zhuang was as anxious as a mad cow, and he restrained his anger as he said, "Dr. Li, what exactly is wrong with Prince Mu? He was fine just now. Why did he suddenly pass out?"
Dr. Li felt much more at ease after feeling his pulse.
"General Su, Prince Yan, don't worry. Prince Mu is not suffering from any serious illness. He is poisoned."
Zhuang frowned and immediately reprimanded, "How can I not be worried when he was poisoned? What exactly is going on? Tell me in detail!"
Seeing that he was furious, Dr. Li did not dare to keep them guessing and hurriedly told them the results of his diagnosis.
"This is a kind of poison, or you can say it is a kind of a poison made with poisonous insect. If one gets infected with it, he will be a walking corpse for the rest of his life. The person who used this kind of poison is really malicious."
Zhuang was even more puzzled after hearing what he said, "Since it is as poisonous as you said, how can you still make light of it like this?"
However, Dr. Li smiled as if he was relaxing them, "General, please don't worry. If this poison were in full, it would naturally be extremely poisonous and I don't know how to cure it. But this poison was only half done, it's not even one in ten poisonous!"
Only after hearing that did the several people present breathe a sigh of relief. Yi even urged, "Dr. Li, please detoxify Prince Mu first!"
Dr. Li asked Zhuang to carry Zongyuan to the wing room before he took out the silver needles from the medicine box he had brought with him and stuck them in several of Zongyuan's acupuncture points.
He also wrote a prescription and asked someone to get the medicine.
It took an hour to feed the medicine into Mu Zongyuan's mouth with difficulty.
Dr. Li felt his pulse again and found that his symptoms were gradually easing. Only then was everyone completely relieved.
Just as he was about to ask to leave, he was unexpectedly stopped by Prince Yan.
" Dr. Li, do you know approximately when my brother was poisoned?"
Dr. Li reached out to straighten the beard on his chin. After pondering for a moment, he said with deliberation, "If my diagnosis is correct, it should be today that he was poisoned."
Shaoling frowned. He suddenly rolled up his sleeve and brought his wrist to him, "Diagnose me as well, to see if I have been poisoned."
Dr. Li paused slightly and then answered "yes". He hunched over and reached out to check Shaoling's pulse.
When the doctor did so, he was stunned as well. How could Prince Yan have been poisoned too? Who on earth had poisoned them?
As soon as Shaoling saw the doctor's expression, he had a general idea of what was going on. He withdrew his arm and straightened his sleeve before turning to him and asking, " What about it? Have I been poisoned too?"
Dr. Li nodded slightly with a puzzled look.
Shaoling glanced at Yi who was sitting beside him and frowned hard. He said anxiously, "Check Eldest lady's pulse too!"
Since things have come to such a stage, Yi was also scared.
Dr. Li could not feel it clearly through the handkerchief. At this time, they could not care about boundaries. Shaoling directly lifted the handkerchief and said, "It's more important to save lives! There's no need to worry about red tape."
Dr. Li also knew the priority of the matter, so he answered and once again put his hand on Yi's wrist.
However, this time, he shook his head.
"Eldest lady has not been poisoned."
Shaoling breathed a sigh of relief. "As long as she was alright." He thought.
At this moment, however, he had a general picture in his mind. He turned to Dr. Li and asked, "Is it because of his physical frailty that this poison has attacked Zong Yuan?"
Dr. Li responded, "Exactly so. If it wasn't for the physical frailty of Prince Mu, I'm afraid the poison wouldn't have been discovered so easily. If the second level of toxin is absorbed into his body, it will form a real poison made with poisonous insect in his body in less than a month."
Shaoling understood, "Fine, leave a recipe for me too. I know how to deal with this matter. After you leave, don't say anything about it. If you alert the sleep dogs, don't blame me for not being nice!"
Dr. Li answered "yes" with trepidation and left a prescription for him. Only then did he flee out the door with his small medicine box.
The good thing about dealing with these powerful people was that he earned a lot of money, but the bad thing was that his life was really precarious.
In the past, he only dealt with some flesh wounds when he worked under General Su. Why did he get involved in these bloody matters when he met Prince Yan?
Shaoling sat on the fauteuil with a gloomy expression, but Yi looked at him with worry.
Only when she saw that Dr. Li had left the door did she ask anxiously, "Prince Yan, are you experiencing any discomfort? I wonder which underhanded person dared to do it in our mansion."
Speaking of which, she suddenly froze and quickly explained, "It really wasn't our Su family who did this! My father and I would never do such a dirty deed!"
Prince Yan knew that she was frightened by what happened today, so he collected his thoughts and smiled faintly at her. He reached out and took her hand into his palm and said, "I know that, of course. My Yi is thinking of marrying me next spring. How could you poison me?"
He managed to make her shy. She turned her face to look at the gap in the bluestone on the ground, "Who's going to marry you? You are really shameless ."
Shaoling laughed, "Who else can you marry if you don't marry me?"
In terms of cheekiness, Yi was no match for him, so she hurriedly changed the subject.
"Can you guess who did the poisoning? The one got some balls. He dared to poison two princes!"
