The imperial physician didn't answer. He asked Ning Xueyan to change her hand. His frown deepened.
His eyes fell on the teacup on the side. He reached out to take it and sniffed it. Then he asked Qingyu, "Did your lady drink this?"
"Yes, it was sent by the kitchen. Is there a problem?" Qingyu asked nervously.
"It was specially sent at noon. I didn't drink it before. I was thirsty just now, so I drank a little. Everyone drank from the kitchen. How could there be a problem?"
Ning Xueyan explained weakly with a pale face.
Her explanation silenced Ning Zu 'an's questioning.
The imperial physician took out a silver needle and put it in the teacup. Immediately, the snow-white needle was covered with a faint black color.
"There is Intoxicated Peach Blossom in the tea. It has a cold effect and a sweet fragrance. It's poisonous. If you take it for a long time, you will die. Judging from your complexion, it's not the first time you've taken it. I'm afraid you've hurt your body and need to recuperate. Otherwise, your life will be in danger."
The imperial physician shook his head and told the whole story. He didn't want to meddle in the affairs of rich and powerful families. However, since his master had spoken, it meant that he wanted to interfere in this matter. Of course, the imperial physician would tell him everything he knew. After thinking for a while, he also told him that it wasn't the first time Ning Xueyan had taken it.
Intoxicated Peach Blossom was a beautiful name, but it could kill people. Because of the faint fragrance it carried, it was not easy to be detected. It was extremely insidious. "No … it can't be.
"No … it can't be. This is an old illness of mine. My mother also has it. It can't be poison. My mother and I have this kind of symptoms from time to time. How can it be poison? Imperial physician, you … are you mistaken?"
Ning Xueyan grabbed the imperial physician's sleeve and asked anxiously.
As a physician, it was taboo for others to doubt his medical skills. Hearing that Ning Xueyan didn't believe him, he was so angry that his beard curled up.
"I've been practicing medicine all my life, and I've never been mistaken. It's the first time someone doubts my medical skills. You were indeed poisoned by Intoxicated Peach Blossom, but it's not fatal because you didn't take much. As for the lady of the manor, she should have died of Intoxicated Peach Blossom. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a lingering fragrance two days after her death. If you don't believe me, you can feel it more clearly from the coffin. "
"As expected, the Lord Protector's Manor is in the deep sea. The Lord Protector's Manor is really deep!"
Prince Yi's bottomless eyes locked on the woman leaning on the side. His lips were full of malicious mockery.
Hearing this, the Lord Protector's face changed dramatically. The blue veins on his forehead bulged. He turned around and shouted, "Go and find out what is going on! Go outside and spread the word that without my orders, no one is allowed to leave the mansion! "
It was rare for him to give such a harsh order. It was obvious that he was extremely angry.
How could Ning Zu 'an not be enraged to find out such a thing had happened right in front of this master's face, and it was something related to Madam Ming?
How could such a shameful thing happen in the family, and a life was lost because of it! Ning Zu 'an only felt more and more furious now that he was doing it in front of outsiders! He had a feeling that this had something to do with Madam Ling. He didn't expect Madam Ling to do such a thing. How could he not tremble with anger?
"Lord Protector, if you have something to do, you can go ahead. I don't mind staying here for a while," said Prince Yi leisurely as he sat down on a spacious chair brought by his subordinates.
"Yes, Your Highness, please stay for a while. I'll be right back!"
Although it was inappropriate for Ning Zu 'an to say anything, the Lord Protector was going to stay as if he was watching a good show.
This Lord Protector was temperamental. He seemed to be in a good mood now, but in the next moment, who knew if he would cripple someone over a small matter?
"Go!" Prince Yi waved his hand casually. His eyes fell on Ning Xueyan with some meaning and interest.
Being stared at by such a noble and handsome Lord in this way, Ning Xueyan should have been shy and wanted to say something, but she only felt chills. It was like being stared at by a poisonous snake, cold and creepy.
Even if she didn't look at his eyes, she could still feel his gaze! It was as if she was shrouded in darkness!
"You're the Fifth Young Lady of the Lord Protector's Manor, right? Do you want the imperial physician to prescribe some medicine for you?" After a long time, Ning Xueyan's back was covered in cold sweat under his stare. Prince Yi's face finally showed a trace of a cold smile. He leaned against the back of the spacious chair, supported his waist with his elbows, and asked leisurely.
"Thank you for saving my life, Your Highness." Ning Xueyan stood up with Qingyu's help and bowed to him.
"Oh, I don't remember when I saved your life!" Prince Yi didn't answer yes or no, but asked Ning Xueyan instead.
In front of this person, it seemed that nothing could hide. His eyes fell on her, cold and evil. Ning Xueyan gritted her teeth and quickly made a judgment in her heart. She stood up straight and bowed again. She said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "Thank you for your help, Your Highness."
Originally, she wanted to go along with the situation and get over it by bowing to him for saving her life. However, the Lord in front of her had obviously seen through her trick.
