Chapter 89 Poisoning

Xu Qingyan felt very uncomfortable, and was full of doubts: [Allergy? This shouldn't be possible! I have never been allergic to any food, and even if I was allergic, it wouldn't hurt me so much! Is this poisoning? Did the Third Prince's wife give me some powerful poison? ]

Xu Qingyan endured the pain and looked at the doctor, and asked: "Doctor, I am not usually allergic. Do you think I have been poisoned?"

"Poisoning? This looks like poisoning caused by food incompatibility!" the doctor said with certainty.

Xu Qingyan didn't think so, and said, "If this is a mutual restraint poisoning, then why am I the only one poisoned?"

"Yes! What my sister-in-law eats is the same as mine. I am not poisoned, so why is it that only my sister-in-law is in trouble?" At this time, Pei Jinyu on the side reacted.

When Pei Jingchuan heard this, his eyes darkened. It seemed that today he had only crippled the Third Prince's wife's arm, which was still too light a punishment.

But the doctor frowned in confusion and said, "That shouldn't be the case! From the pulse, I can tell that it's the toxicity caused by the food incompatibility..."

Xu Qingyan looked at the doctor and felt a little disappointed. It seemed that the doctor was still too inexperienced. No! She had to use the mind-reading function again to see what the Third Prince's wife was thinking. She only had a hundred chances to use this function. Once she used it up, she would have no more, so she usually used it sparingly.

After Xu Qingyan found out, she was so angry that she screamed in her heart: [Humph! It's really poison! It turns out that the Third Prince's Consort actually spent 10,000 taels to buy a bottle of Western Region poison and put it in my teacup. Even the silver needle can't detect this poison! Now, I just have vomiting and diarrhea, and I will have a rash in a few days, but my rash will not disappear. Instead, it will disfigure me, and I will become an ugly monster! Ah! This Third Prince's Consort is really too poisonous! Let me see if there is an antidote for this poison. Oh! Great! There is an antidote! When the Third Prince's Consort bought it, she put the antidote and poison in the cabinet in her room and locked it. She hasn't used up the poison yet, and she plans to use it on the women around the young master later. She wants the women around the young master to be ugly, and doesn't allow the young master to have women who are prettier than her. This Third Prince's Consort is really a pervert! ]

Pei Jingchuan, who was standing by, was also furious when he heard this: This Third Prince's Consort is really crazy! It's impossible for him and her to be together. She is already a prince's consort, but she still thinks about him! It's disgusting!

"Qingyan, don't worry! I will find a way to go to the Third Prince's Mansion to get you an antidote. You have only eaten food there today. They must have poisoned you!" Pei Jingchuan looked at Xu Qingyan with certainty.

"Yes! Young Master, it must be the Third Prince's wife. She hid the medicine. You must look for it carefully." Xu Qingyan endured the discomfort and nodded frantically.

Afterwards, Pei Jingchuan changed his clothes himself and sneaked into the Third Prince's Mansion with a few secret guards.

At this time, the Third Prince's wife had one arm chopped off and fainted from the pain. The Third Prince didn't care about her at all, and there were only two maids guarding her room.

Therefore, Pei Jingchuan broke in very easily, knocked the maid unconscious and began to search through the boxes and cabinets. After finding the poison and the antidote, he asked the secret guards who knew poison to carefully distinguish them, and then gave the remaining poison to the third prince's wife. After doing all this, Pei Jingchuan took the antidote and left the third prince's mansion.

After Xu Qingyan took the antidote, the discomfort symptoms on her body quickly eased, but there were still some red rashes on her face, which took time to subside.

——The next day——

The Third Prince's wife was awakened by the pain. She first vomited and had diarrhea, then her stomach hurt so much that she realized one of her arms was missing. She was going crazy in the room.

The Third Prince's wife roared, "Xu Qingyan! It was that bitch Xu Qingyan who harmed me. I want to kill her! Someone, bring Xu Qingyan to me!"

"Master, the Third Prince has already let the Crown Princess go back. The Crown Princess wanted to make the decision for you, but the Third Prince wouldn't let her. We can't arrest the Crown Princess." The maid said in fear, kneeling on the ground.

"What did you say? Why is the Third Prince... vomiting..." The Third Prince's wife looked at the maid in surprise. Before she could finish her words, she felt an discomfort in her stomach and then began to vomit continuously.

The imperial physician quickly rushed over to examine the Third Prince's wife, and the conclusion he came to was the same as that of the doctor from the Duke's Mansion.

But at this moment, the Third Prince's wife suddenly saw her cabinet was opened, and she understood instantly.

"Go and check the two bottles of medicine in my cabinet to see if they are still there?" The Third Prince's wife immediately ordered the maid to go and check.

The maid walked over and opened it, only to see that it was empty.

"I'm poisoned! It's poison! It must have been stolen by Xu Qingyan. She also stole my antidote! Someone, take me to the Duke's Mansion. I want to find her!" After the Third Prince's wife said this, she struggled to get up.

The imperial physician was also helpless and had to prescribe an antidote to the Third Prince's wife to temporarily control the poison.

However, the Third Prince's wife's face soon broke out in dense red rashes. She endured the churning in her stomach, packed up simply, put on a veil, and took a carriage to the Duke's Mansion.

——British Mansion——

Xu Qingyan's body had almost recovered, with only the red rash on her face left, which would take some time to disappear. She was sitting in the yard with Pei Jingchuan and the others to rest.

Suddenly, a servant came to report that the Third Prince's wife had come to the door angrily to make a scene.

"She actually has the nerve to come here!" Pei Jingchuan snorted coldly upon hearing this. Then, he stood up and left.

Xu Qingyan also wanted to see what the Third Prince's wife looked like now, so she followed Pei Jingchuan out.

"Xu Qingyan, quickly bring me the antidote!" As soon as the Third Prince's wife saw Xu Qingyan, she immediately rushed forward regardless of everything.

The two maids beside Xu Qingyan quickly stepped forward and stood in front of her.

Xu Qingyan looked at the Third Prince's wife, her empty arm, and her veiled face, and immediately guessed that the Third Prince's wife had been poisoned by the same poison as herself.

Xu Qingyan couldn't help but glance at Pei Jingchuan and praised him: "Young Master, you did a great job! While stealing the antidote, you even gave the Third Prince's wife the same poison! You really deserve to be my good husband!"

Pei Jingchuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly when he heard this, then he stretched out his hand to protect Xu Qingyan behind him, looked at the Third Prince's wife with a cold gaze, and said, "I don't know what nonsense the Third Prince's wife is talking about. My wife was injured in your house and ate something bad. I haven't even bothered with you yet, and you actually come to my door!"

The Third Prince's wife was stunned by Pei Jingchuan's rebuke. She looked at Pei Jingchuan aggrievedly and said, "Young Master, Xu Qingyan is a vicious woman! She is the one who ruined my arm, and she even poisoned me. You can't keep such a vicious woman!"

Pei Jingchuan heard this and said sternly: "I think you are the vicious woman! You put a snake in the box to harm my wife, and now you tampered with the food to make her uncomfortable, and now you are blaming me! Originally, I didn't want to bother with you for the sake of the third prince. But now, since you are not satisfied, I will get to the bottom of it! I will let the government investigate the harm you have caused to my wife!"

The Third Prince's wife couldn't help but tremble when she heard this. Originally, she thought that Xu Qingyan was dead and that Pei Jingchuan would not offend the Third Prince and his father for such a woman he had just married. But she didn't expect that Pei Jingchuan would actually propose to report to the police for this woman! Did he really not care about the Third Prince and his father, the Imperial College's chief priest? His father was his former teacher!
