Hearing this, Uncle Qiao immediately turned to her. "Miss Ji, you have to help her. Do you have a doctor here?"
How could she have a doctor here?
There were only her, the two maids, the two kitchen maids, and the hidden guards around them.
"There's no doctor here. Let me take a look at her first." Ji Yunshu pushed away the people around the bed and sat beside Liu Yunyan. She held her cold hands and asked with concern, "Miss, how are you?"
Liu Yunyan looked at her and said weakly, "I'm fine."
"You don't look fine at all." Liu Yunyan didn't know what was wrong with her. She had been fine all the way from Minnan Province to here. Even if she was sick, it wasn't as bad as this. She only felt something in her stomach and felt nauseous. She didn't expect to vomit blood.
She was scared out of her wits.
She shook her head. "Thank you for your concern, Miss."
The maidservant beside her tearfully said, "Our Miss was fine on the journey. Perhaps she caught a cold, got drenched in the rain, and ate something cold. That's why she's like this."
"Who would vomit blood from a cold?" Although Ji Yunshu wasn't a doctor, there must be another reason why she wouldn't vomit blood from a cold and rain.
At this moment, Liu Yunyan started to vomit again. This time, she vomited more violently. Blood splattered on the floor in front of the bed. It was a ghastly sight and frightened everyone.
The maid's expression was even worse than Liu Yunyan's. Her heart was filled with worry and fear. She didn't know what to do and could only wipe Liu Yunyan's blood with a handkerchief.
Liu Yunzhu cried even louder. "Big Sister, Big Sister …"
No one knew what to do in such a situation.
Ji Yunshu turned to Ah Jiao. "Hurry and bring me a small white bottle from the small medicine box in my room."
Ah Jiao was still clear-headed and left. After vomiting, Liu Yunyan's mouth was full of blood. She was exhausted and her vision was blurry. Her head hurt and the world was spinning. She panted and grabbed Liu Yunzhu's hand. "Yunzhu, Big Sister, I'm afraid you can't do it.
I'm afraid I can't. From now on, you have to take care of yourself. "
"No, sister, you'll be fine. You can't leave me behind. You promised me that we'll settle down in Yan Jing City from now on. We won't go anywhere else. You said it, you can't go back on your words, sister …"
"I … I can't hold on any longer."
"Sister, don't scare me. You'll definitely be fine." Liu Yunzhu sobbed.
Ji Yunshu grabbed Liu Yunyan's ice-cold hand and said, "Miss, don't say such depressing words."
Liu Yunyan looked at her, her pale lips slowly spitting out a sentence, "I know how my body is. I can't hold on any longer. I'm afraid … I've implicated Miss Ji and dirtied your place."
"Don't say such things!"
Liu Yunyan's body was getting weaker and weaker. Her eyes were bloodshot and her head was buzzing. Her vision was blurry and she felt her body was light. She didn't feel solid at all and the lump of air in her chest was getting bigger and bigger.
Finally, he fainted.
Liu Yunzhu shouted, "Sister!"
"Miss?"
A group of men pounced on the bed.
They cried and screamed in fear!
They seemed to think that Liu Yunyan was dead. Ji Yunshu felt the pulse on her wrist. It was still beating. She had just fainted. She said, "She just fainted temporarily."
Uncle Qiao was so worried that his voice was trembling. "What happened to Miss? She was fine the whole way. "
Ji Yunshu noticed the blood on the floor and mouth of Liu Yunyan's.
It wasn't bright red, but dark red. It wasn't as simple as coughing up blood.
She said, "She might have been poisoned."
"Poisoned? What kind of poison? " Uncle Qiao asked. He thought for a moment, "Miss ate the same as us. We're all fine."
The maidservant at the side suddenly remembered something. "Right, Miss ate a bowl of porridge."
Porridge?
Everyone's gaze landed on Liu Yunyan's maidservant.
The maidservant said, "Miss said that her stomach wasn't feeling well and wanted some porridge, so …" She looked at Ah Yi. "So I had to trouble this miss to prepare some porridge for Miss."
Ah Yi was stunned. She understood what the maidservant meant and immediately said, "You're not saying that I poisoned the porridge, are you?"
How ridiculous!
The maidservant whimpered, "I'm just suspecting you, not you."
"I wouldn't do such a thing." Ah Yi said.
Ji Yunshu asked, "Where's the porridge?" The maidservant hurriedly got up and brought the bowl of porridge over. She had only eaten a little, and there was still more than half of the bowl inside. Ji Yunshu looked at it, then plucked a silver hairpin from Liu Yunzhu's hair and stuck it into the porridge.
When she took it out again, she saw that the bottom of the silver needle had turned black. It was indeed poisoned!
"This porridge was poisoned!"
Ah! The maidservant's hands trembled, and the whole bowl of porridge fell to the ground. With a clatter, the porridge mixed with the blood on the floor. It was a horrifying scene. She was horrified. "There's poison in the porridge? Why? It must be … "Her gaze landed on Ah Yi again.
She suspected that it was her doing.
Ah Yi was also shocked.
She quickly waved her hands. "I didn't do it. I ordered the kitchen maid to make this porridge, but the kitchen maid would never poison someone."
"Then how do you explain the poison?"
"I don't know!" Ah Yi hastily explained. "I definitely didn't poison you. I have no grudges with you, so why would I poison you? My Miss was kind enough to let you stay here, so why would she harm your Miss? "
That's right! Ji Yunshu was kind enough to let them stay here. If she had bad intentions, she would have thrown them out long ago.
They had no grudges with each other!
Why would she poison them?
Uncle Qiao was a person who could clearly distinguish between right and wrong. He immediately reprimanded the maidservant. "Don't talk nonsense. Miss Ji was kind enough to let us stay here. They are good people."
The maidservant was hot-headed, so she had doubts in her heart. She immediately withdrew her gaze in embarrassment.
Ah Jiao had already returned, holding a white medicine bottle from Ji Yunshu's room.
"Miss Ji, here it is."
Ji Yunshu opened the bottle and took out a pill. She stuffed it into Liu Yunyan's mouth and had her swallow it.
"What is this?" Uncle Qiao asked.
"This is a temporary medicine to save her life! But it's only temporary. The most important thing now is to get her into the city to see a doctor. "
Uncle Qiao clenched his fists tightly. He thought for a moment, then quickly grabbed the young man beside him and ordered, "Quick, help Miss out. We have to get on the carriage and go to Yan Jing City to find a doctor. We can't delay any longer."
The young man said, "Uncle Qiao, we can't leave in such a heavy rain. Moreover, the carriage is stuck in the muddy water outside. We have to wait until the rain stops. Right now, we can only leave by horse. But Miss can't ride a horse, so she can't leave!"
"This … We can't care so much. Why don't you ride into the city now and get the doctor here before daybreak?"
It seemed like this was the only way!
The young man couldn't care less. The most important thing now was to save his Miss's life. He was about to leave when Ji Yunshu suddenly called out to him. "I have a carriage here that can send you there."
Everyone's eyes lit up.
Uncle Qiao held back his tears, his eyes filled with hope. "Miss, can you really send us there?"
"I do have a carriage, but …" She glanced at Liu Yunyan who had already fainted. "I can't guarantee if this Miss can make it to Yan Jing City, but it's more important to find a doctor in Yan Jing City."
"Many thanks, Miss."
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. Quickly help Miss Liu up and send her to the carriage."
"Yes, yes, yes."
A few people helped Liu Yunyan up from the bed, draped a coat over her, and carried her out. Ji Yunshu immediately ordered people to prepare the carriage. However, the carriage wasn't big and couldn't accommodate so many people. Only Uncle Qiao and the maidservant followed. Ji Yunshu called for a hidden guard who stayed in the bamboo house and asked him to drive the carriage to Yan Jing City.
Then, thinking that A-Jiao was good at doing things and was more familiar with Yan Jing City, she let her go as well.
The rest of the people stayed behind.
