Chapter 123 Don’t be afraid, I’m here
After Doctor Pei finished his diagnosis, he stood up and said to Huaying, "Don't worry, young lady. This poison can be cured. I will prescribe the medicine right away." The people standing by breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the doctor's words.
After Huaying thanked the imperial physician, her mother sat back down beside the bed and comforted her gently.
Doctor Pei wrote a prescription and discussed it with the old man who was the court physician and the quack doctor again. He added a few more herbs to the court physician's prescription and then ordered Qinghe to get the medicine.
Doctor Pei and his companions bowed to the Prime Minister and left. At Doctor Pei's signal, Father Shen smiled and said to his wife, "Madam, I will send Doctor Pei off. You stay here with Ning'er first."
The lady nodded, and Shen Nanxing followed his father when he saw him go out.
It was not until they reached the gate of Molan Pavilion that Doctor Pei said to Father Shen with a heavy face, "Prime Minister, I was concerned about the health of Madam and Miss in the room just now, so I concealed something. I hope you can understand."
Father Shen nodded and said, "Doctor Pei is thoughtful. It's okay to talk about it now."
"Sir, to be honest, the young lady was poisoned by a rare and strange poison. Based on the symptoms, I and others suspect it is the poisonous fog Gu from Miaojiang, but we need to go back to the Imperial Hospital to check the medical records to confirm.
This poison is not immediately fatal, but if it is not detoxified in time, the toxin will gradually corrode the body, causing ulcers all over the body and even affecting the mind. "
Father Shen frowned, "Is there any way to alleviate it?"
"For now, we can only use some herbs to protect the heart meridian and prevent the poison from spreading. But this is only a temporary measure, and we need to find a way to detoxify as soon as possible." Doctor Pei sighed.
Shen Nanxing asked anxiously: "Is there no other way?"
Doctor Pei shook his head. "This strange poison is extremely rare. We need to study it further."
Father Shen pondered for a moment and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Doctor Pei and other medical doctors." Father Shen bowed.
The three of them hurriedly replied, "Your Excellency is too kind. I will go back and check the medical books. Goodbye."
The old doctor and his senior brother also took their leave and went back to develop an antidote. Seeing them walking away, Father Shen turned around and said to his second son, "Nanxing, send someone to find an expert in detoxification in the martial arts world, and do it as soon as possible."
"Yes, father." Shen Nanxing responded and left.
Father Shen said to his eldest son Shen Nanting, "Don't tell anyone about Ning'er's poisoning to avoid causing unnecessary trouble." His eyes revealed deep worry.
Shen Nanting said seriously, "I understand."
As night falls, the moon hangs high in the sky, casting its silver light on the city of Chang'an. The lights hanging on the doors of shops on both sides of the street have been turned off, and the voices of night watchmen can be heard from time to time on the quiet streets.
At this time, a dark shadow quietly appeared on the roof of the Fu Mansion and nimbly flew into a courtyard.
He knocked lightly on a window where the light was still on, and waited for a response from inside before he skillfully turned over and entered the room.
The man in black lowered his voice and reported to Fu Shiyan who was sitting at the desk. "Master, it's bad! Miss Shen has been poisoned. We haven't found out who poisoned her yet, and there's no antidote yet."
Upon hearing the news, the brush in Fu Shiyan's hand, who was writing, trembled slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and continued to write on the paper, "We must find out who poisoned you within three days. Also, ask Fu Yi to see me." The man in black took the order respectfully and left quickly.
Not long after, Fu Yi appeared in the corridor yawning. He walked and stretched lazily until he reached the master's door, then he stopped, straightened his clothes, and knocked on the door.
A deep voice came from inside the door: "Come in."
Fu Yi pushed open the door and walked into the room, and saw Fu Shiyan sitting at the desk busy. He walked quickly to Fu Shiyan and saluted, "Master, you are looking for me?"
Fu Shiyan didn't even raise his head. He was busy writing a letter while saying, "Get ready and follow me to the Shen Mansion immediately. Huaying has been poisoned."
Fu Yi's eyes widened in surprise, and he quickly asked, "How could this happen? Is it serious?"
Fu Shiyan put the written letter into the envelope, sealed it, and said in a serious tone: "The specific situation is not clear yet, I need to go and see it in person." After that, he handed the envelope to Fu Yi, "Send someone to deliver it to General Bai, and then come to me."
Fu Yi took the envelope and nodded in response: "Yes, Master, don't worry, I will do it right away."
Fu Shiyan stood up, his expression grim, a hint of worry in his eyes.
After Fu Yi arranged to deliver the letter, he hurried back to the room with the medicine box. At this time, Fu Shiyan had changed into night clothes and was waiting for him.
The two of them walked out of the door in a low-key manner, and used their light skills to rush all the way to the Shen Mansion.
After arriving at the Shen Mansion, Fu Shiyan went directly to the Molan Pavilion without any hesitation. He nimbly climbed over the wall, quietly sneaked into Huaying's room, and quickly pressed the sleeping points of the maids.
Huaying, who had slept too much during the day, was now completely sleepless and dozed off with her eyes closed.
When she heard the noise and opened her eyes, she couldn't help but flash a hint of surprise when she saw Fu Shiyan. "Why are you here?" Huaying's voice was full of joy.
Fu Shiyan looked at her tenderly, sitting beside her and sizing her up: "I heard you were poisoned, so I brought Fu Yi to see you." His eyes fell on the rash on Huaying's arm, and his eyes showed heartache, "Does it hurt?"
Huaying, who didn't feel much pain at first, felt as if all the pain surged into her heart when he asked her that. Her eyes instantly became wet with tears welling up in them. She said aggrievedly, "It hurts so much."
Fu Shiyan raised his eyes and stared at her. He reached out his hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. He gently stroked her hair, then hugged her tightly in his arms and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Huaying leaned in his warm embrace, recalling Doctor Pei's deliberate concealment during the day. Her heart, which had been hanging in the balance, finally settled down at this moment.
After seeing Huaying calm down and straightening her collar, Fu Shiyan said to Fu Yi outside the door, "Come in."
Under the watchful eyes of his master, Fu Yi carefully took Huaying's pulse and checked the rash on Huaying's arm which had turned dark red. He turned back and said to his master, "Master, what Hua Dong has in his family is the poisonous fog Gu from Miaojiang. It can be cured." After saying that, he stood up and walked to the table and began to tidy up the bottles and jars in the medicine box.
It was not until then that Huaying realized what kind of poison she had been poisoned by. She raised her head and looked at Fu Shiyan with burning eyes, her eyes full of grievance.
Seeing this, Fu Shiyan touched her head distressedly and asked softly, "But was it the princess who did it?"
Upon hearing this, Huaying immediately nodded obediently and told the story of that day in a wronged manner.
Fu Shiyan's heart melted when he saw how obedient and aggrieved she was. He gently held her in his arms and comforted her, "I will help you get justice."
After hearing this, Huaying felt a little better, but she was still a little sad and couldn't help but put her arms around Fu Shiyan, burying her head in his arms, feeling the warmth coming from him.
