"Cheng… Cheng'er?" Liu Shi turned around and looked at the person standing in front of her. She was a little confused. "What's going on? Aunty heard that the maidservant went to call Dr. Lu again, and thought that you..."
Shen Juncheng replied, "it wasn't me, it was the Young Madam. I don't know why she suddenly fainted. I was anxious, so I asked the servant girl to get a doctor to take a look."
"Anan?" Mrs. Liu was surprised. Why was she the one who fainted?
"Why did she faint?"
Shen Juncheng pretended to be embarrassed. "Cough, cough, cough, I don't know. The doctor is examining Anan."
Liu Shi looked at the bed, and it was indeed Su Anan lying on the bed. Dr. Lu had also been invited and was performing acupuncture on Su Anan.
Frowning slightly, she cast a questioning gaze at Qinghe, meaning to say, 'What did you tell her?' Why was she the one lying down?'
Qinghe was at a loss. She had clearly explained things to Su Anan. It was Su Anan who was disobedient and did not drug him. She should not be the one to fall in a coma, right?
Besides, the medicine wasn't meant to knock her out.
Since she didn't understand, she decided to wait and see. Liu Shi immediately adjusted her expression. "It's good that you're fine. When I heard the commotion here, I thought something had happened to you. It scared Aunt Liu."
"I've troubled you again. I'm unfilial," Shen Juncheng said.
Liu Shi glanced at him but did not make a sound. However, she could not guess the uncertainties, so she could only order people to quickly bring a seat for the Young Master and then kept staring at Dr. Lu.
After a while, Dr. Lu took back the silver needles. Su Anan coughed out a mouthful of purple blood. Apparently, she had been poisoned.
Just then, the guests also arrived. The West Garden was far away, and their walking speed was not as fast as Liu Shi's.
As soon as they came in, they saw the bride vomiting blood. Everyone was shocked and asked what was going on, making so much noise that Liu Shi's head hurt. She waved her hand and said, "Be quiet. Let's hear what Dr. Lu has to say."
Dr. Lu put away his silver needles and hurriedly got up to write a prescription. He asked the servant to get the medicine overnight. The situation seemed quite urgent.
The group of people became even more curious and surrounded the room so tightly that not even a drop of water could leak through.
Dr. Lu put away the first aid box and said, "Everyone, don't panic. The Young Madam is fine now. She just needs to rest for a few days." He sighed, "Fortunately, I came in time. Otherwise, I'm afraid that the Young Madam would have died from the poison."
Hearing that the poison was acting up, Liu Shi's eyes darkened, "Poison acting up? Dr. Lu, what do you mean?"
"Could the Young Master please bring over the leftovers from Young Madam's previous meal or cutlery?" Dr. Lu asked.
Shen Juncheng immediately ordered his men to get it.
A moment later, his men came back and said that the leftovers had been thrown away and the plates were clean. There was only a pot of Heji wine. A servant boy greedily came over and prepared to drink it himself, but he didn't have the time to drink it entirely.
Now, they have found it.
The young maidservant respectfully handed over the jug of wine. Dr. Lu hurriedly went forward to check. He only needed to open the lid and perceive the smell and his expression changed. "Replying to the Marquis Madam, Young Master, I've found it. This is the source of the poison."
"There is a large dose of bliss powder in this wine. A strong person can drink a cup to liven up the mood. However, if a weak person drinks a cup, I'm afraid he can't withstand the drug and will be poisoned."
"Young Madam's body is weak. How could she withstand such strong drugs? that's why she fainted."
Upon hearing the word "bliss powder," some of the guests who often hung out in brothels sighed. It was a medicine especially used by brothels to train prostitutes, and its effect could be imagined.
