A Foodie Transmigrated into the Palace Chapter 1405 - 1403: Poisoned (Part 2)

Waiting is very long.

However, the Imperial Physician is still an Imperial Physician, and even though the process took a bit longer, his pulse diagnosis is very thorough.

After diagnosing the pulse, he stepped forward and respectfully reported.

"Reporting to the County Princess!"

"The symptoms of the Master Prince are indeed poisoning, caused by taking He Xiang Powder with alcohol!"

"If it had been any later, I’m afraid it would have been too late to save him..."

Generally, such a statement is both frightening and not frightening.

It’s frightening because it’s too late to save, but if it had been later, it means it’s not too late now, and there’s still hope.

Yilan breathed a sigh of relief: As long as there is hope!

Old Lady Hou couldn’t bear it. After she heard it, she rolled her eyes and her body weakened, and she fainted.

"Mother! Mother!"

Yilan felt a bit guilty and also anxious.

"Imperial Physician, save the Old Lady first!"

The Imperial Physician twitched his mouth, thinking: County Princess, you have a big heart!

Anyway... anger affecting the heart can also be cured, he casually wrote a prescription and handed it to the servant, and it was done.

Settled Old Lady Hou.

The Imperial Physician began acupuncture.

He took out a cloth bag from the medicine box, and inside were rows of silver needles for acupuncture.

Under the bright candlelight, the silver needles emitted a cold glint, making one feel scared with just a glance.

Yilan’s expression gradually became serious.

"Imperial Physician, do you need anything else?"

The Imperial Physician thought for a moment and gave instructions.

"Nothing else is needed, just bring a bowl!"

Yilan exhaled in relief and quickly instructed the maid to get it.

When the bowl was brought, the Imperial Physician was already administering the needles.

She didn’t really understand, only knowing that before long Nan Yunze was covered in silver needles.

Some were thick, like the largest embroidery needles, while others were very thin, like cow hair, barely visible without the reflection of light.

It’s unknown how long it took.

Nan Yunze finally coughed lightly, furrowed his brow, and ’waa’ vomited out a mouthful of black blood with a strong alcohol smell.

And then.

The Imperial Physician pulled out a silver needle and pricked the fingertips of his ten fingers.

From each fingertip, black blood slowly flowed out.

After he spat out the dark blood, and the black blood on the fingertips was cleaned up.

The Imperial Physician finally wiped his sweat and stood up.

"It’s done!"

"Rest well tonight, and tomorrow morning, the Master Prince will wake up!"

"For the next month, the Master Prince needs to recuperate well, avoiding all women..."

The last sentence made Yilan very uncomfortable.

After thanking him, she hurriedly instructed the maid to give the Imperial Physician silver and send him off properly.

...

After the Imperial Physician left, she also let out a long breath.

She looked at the Old Lady Hou in the inner room and then at Nan Yunze lying on the bed.

She felt no emotional turbulence, just instructed calmly.

"Take good care of the Old Lady and the Master Prince! I’ll come and check tomorrow morning!"

Then she left without looking back.

Tan Biluo kneeled in the corner, never daring to speak.

Only when the County Princess Yilan left with everyone did she dare to cling to the maid’s hand to get up.

"Phew... finally no issues!"

She was frightened, with traces of tears still on her face!

The maid comforted her softly.

"Miss, it’s late, you should rest soon. We have to wake up early tomorrow!"

With the Old Lady and Master Prince sleeping here, could she sleep in?

But...

She glanced around the room,

"All the beds are occupied, how can I sleep?"

The maid bit her lip.

"There’s no other way, there’s a spare bed in the maid’s room!"

Tan Biluo felt an immense sense of humiliation.

Today is her wedding day, yet she has to sleep in the servant’s room?

Just thinking about it seemed unbelievable, but... she had nowhere else to go?

"Alright then!"

Feeling utterly helpless, she nodded.

...

The following day.

Old Lady Hou was the first to wake up.

After fainting from the shock last night, her maid personally brewed and fed her medicine, staying by her side the entire night.

Today she finally felt refreshed with a healthier body.

She first surveyed the room, taking in the unfamiliar surroundings, and finally remembered last night’s events.

She was furious, unable to get out of bed quickly, slapping the covers directly.

"Where is Tan Biluo?"

"Where is she? Someone, bring her to me!"

He Xiang Powder? Alcohol? She is incredibly bold! On the first day after marrying in, she does something like this. Isn’t she going to disturb the Nan Family endlessly in the future?

Most importantly, she nearly killed her son.

Old Lady Hou is usually the one who laughs and smiles at everyone.

But everyone knows that her son is her bottom line, and her love for him surpasses everything in the world, even herself.

Thus, harming her son is like harming her a hundred times.

How could such hatred possibly be tolerated?

Tan Biluo was quickly brought over.

As soon as she entered the room, she collapsed to her knees.

"Mother!"

Old Lady Hou spat at her with fury.

"Pah! You are not qualified to call me mother!"

"You are nothing but a lowly concubine, marrying into my Nan Family without adhering to rules and etiquette, yet you dare commit such acts!"

"Can you believe I would have my son divorce you!"

"A vile woman who poisons her husband should be drowned!"

Her face turned purple, ranting incoherently, with even her hair slightly disheveled.

The maid beside her quickly tried to calm her gently.

"Old Lady, ease up on the anger. The Imperial Physician treated the Master Prince yesterday, he said everything is fine, and a month’s rest will suffice!"

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Hou finally began to cry.

"You foolish girl! How do you know the Imperial Physician’s words are true!"

"My son has never suffered such grievances since childhood!"

"If my son doesn’t wake up, I won’t live either!"

The maid quickly continued soothing.

"Old Lady, don’t be like this, the Imperial Physician said the Master Prince will wake up this morning!"

"Crying like this isn’t auspicious! It might even block the Master Prince’s good fortune!"

As soon as she said that, Old Lady Hou stopped crying.

She dabbed the not-so-many tears with a handkerchief and quickly gave instructions.

"You’re right! Quickly, wash my face!"

"If my son wakes up and sees me like this, he might get another fright! Hurry!"

"Ah!"

The maid happily went to fetch clothes.

...

As Old Lady Hou got up, she spat at Tan Biluo.

"You wretched woman, wait until my son wakes up, then we’ll decide your fate!"

"If he gets better, so be it, if he doesn’t, just wait!"

No matter the Tan Family, no matter the bond.

Even her biological child couldn’t be considered now, let alone Tan Biluo, merely a daughter of a concubine.

Daring to act this way upon entering the mansion, can she blame the Nan Family for not caring about reputation?

...

Tan Biluo shivered slightly but dared not speak, the maid beside her also seemed frightened.

The master and servants kneeled silently on the floor.

It’s unknown how long it had been when, just as Old Lady Hou was about to finish dressing, the inner room suddenly made a slight noise.

"Who’s there? Has my son awoken?"

She turned her head abruptly.

Just in time for the maid from the inner room to report.

"Reporting to the Old Lady, the Master Prince has awakened!"
