Chapter 60 The Old Marquis is Poisoned
Chengyi Marquis Mansion.
The old marquis fell seriously ill half a month ago and his health is getting worse day by day.
Marquis Chengyi was also a filial son. He specially asked for leave from the current emperor and served medicine at home every day. He did everything himself and never asked anyone else to do it for him.
When Shen Qingmo came to visit with seven or eight colleagues, Marquis Chengyi didn't even bother to wash and change his clothes. He met them with an unshaven beard and a tired face.
"I haven't seen you for half a month. How come you look so haggard?" Shen Qingmo exclaimed, his face full of emotion. "Although your heart is with the old Marquis, you must also take care of yourself!"
Others also echoed and comforted in a gentle voice.
Marquis Chengyi rubbed his brows and sighed, "Thank you all for your concern. It's not that I don't want to rest, but my father really-"
Before he could finish his words, the butler came hurriedly.
"My Lord, the prince has returned, and he has brought his classmates with him. He is heading towards the old Lord's courtyard."
Marquis Chengyi frowned, "His grandfather is recuperating, what is he doing with his classmates?"
The butler bent down even lower, "The prince said that his classmate is a miracle doctor who can cure the old marquis!"
"That's just nonsense!"
Marquis Chengyi slammed the table heavily.
"How old is his classmate? How could he be a miracle doctor?"
"The prince said that he is the last disciple of the Medicine King Valley Master. Although he is young, he has real skills."
The butler answered carefully, fearing that Marquis Chengyi would vent his anger on him.
Chen Qingmo was surprised, "It's Youning?"
Marquis Chengyi immediately looked towards Shen Qingmo, "What did Lord Shen say? Do you know who this little genius doctor is?"
"To be honest, Lord Marquis, the last disciple of Medicine King Valley is none other than my father-in-law's granddaughter, Yu Youning, who was just brought back home."
Shen Qingmo's father-in-law is the Marquis of Yong'an.
The granddaughter that Marquis Yong'an just found...isn't she the wild girl who forced his son to call her a little waste?
Thinking of this, Marquis Chengyi's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
What's going on tomorrow!
How can I bring this wild girl back?
He also has to take care of his grandfather!
Isn't this nonsense?
"I'll go check it out right away! Everyone—"
Before Chengyi Hou finished speaking, Shen Qingmo stood up.
"My Lord, Youning is my father-in-law's granddaughter after all. Logically, she should call me uncle. Since this happened today, I'd better go and take a look! Otherwise, if my father-in-law finds out, I'm afraid he will blame me."
"Let's go take a look too! I wonder what abilities this Medicine King Valley Master's closed disciple possesses!"
"I heard yesterday that the daughter of the King of Huainan was cured. It seems that it was the disciple of the master of Medicine King Valley who cured her. At that time, I thought it was a young man, but I didn't expect it to be a little girl. Will the Marquis allow me to go and see it?"
Hearing what they said, Marquis Chengyi did not refuse.
"Since you all want to see it, let's go!"
The group hurried to the old marquis's house.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw a delicate little girl holding a golden needle about an inch long in her hand, about to prick the old marquis.
Marquis Chengyi turned pale with fear, his eyes bloodshot, "Stop!"
Yu Youning stopped and looked at Chengyi Hou in confusion, "What's the matter?"
Marquis Chengyi strode forward and stood in front of Yu Youning, "What are you going to do?"
"I'm here to treat Grandpa!" Yu Youning said as if it was a matter of course. "Zhai Heming invited me here!"
Marquis Chengyi's face darkened even more.
Even if a country girl was lucky enough to become the disciple of the master of Medicine King Valley, what could she learn at the age of five?
I heard that the Su family's second daughter was given some kind of clever injection before. It's absolutely ridiculous!
Whether a person is smart or not is innate. How can one become smarter by just getting an injection?
If this is true, then there are no fools in this world?
And the daughter of King Huainan, who had been ill for so many years and was on the verge of death, dared to say that she could be cured in one day. Even the master of Yaowang Valley might not be able to do it. How could such a five-year-old girl do it?
It's a trick!
The daughter that Yong'an Marquis's Mansion just found is really scheming. She keeps a low profile, but actually uses such an outrageous method to build momentum for her daughter. Is she trying to compete with that girl Lin Ruoli?
No matter how they fight, he will never let his father be used by them!
"Ming'er is young and ignorant, so I called you here. But I want to tell you that the Marquis' Mansion is not a place for you to make trouble. You must leave immediately!"
Shen Qingmo also came over at this time and looked at Yu Youning with a worried look on his face, "Youning, can you really cure the old marquis?"
Hearing the other person calling his name gently, Yu Youning tilted his head, "Who are you?"
"I am Li'er's father."
Yu Youning suddenly realized, "So you are Li'er's father! Did you go to see Li'er yesterday? Were you very busy?"
Her father was always busy and could only take time out of his busy schedule to watch her and play with her.
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Shen Qingmo's face, and he felt even more resentful in his heart.
This little village girl is really not a good person. She actually mocked him in front of so many people for not being a good father and not caring about his own daughter.
Marquis Chengyi glanced at Yu Youning coldly, "Lord Shen is the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, so naturally he has a lot of affairs to deal with!"
"Wow!" Yu Youning exclaimed, "More than the emperor? The prince said that the emperor often dine with him!"
Shen Qingmo's face suddenly looked a little embarrassed.
Even if he had more courage, he would not dare to say that he was busier than the emperor!
This little village girl pretends to be innocent, but she is actually insidious and cunning. She sets traps for him everywhere and tries to discredit him!
Lin Siqiong and Li'er are right, people like this should be eliminated as soon as possible!
Fortunately it’s coming soon!
Shen Qingmo took a deep breath and spoke softly, "Youning, I heard that you cured the daughter of the King of Huainan yesterday?"
"yes!"
"Then you can also cure the old marquis?"
"Of course!"
"this......"
Chen Qingmo glanced at Chengyi Hou hesitantly, "My Lord, since Youning has this confidence, why not let Youning give it a try? If you can really cure the old Marquis, it will be a happy event!"
Cheng Yihou looked at Shen Qingmo unhappily, "Lord Shen, why are you talking nonsense too? This is my father, how can you let her try it casually?"
"Don't be angry, Lord Marquis. I was just thinking that Youning is quite famous and might actually have some abilities!"
Zhai Heming's face was full of anxiety, fearing that his father would really drive Yu Youning away, so he hurried forward.
"Father, let Yu Youning give it a try! She's really amazing! I saw Xuezheng's wife with my own eyes yesterday. She's no different from an ordinary person. She even said she'd invite Yu Youning to visit the Huainan Palace in a few days."
After hearing these words, Marquis Chengyi was somewhat moved.
He doesn't believe what others say, but Ming'er is his son!
Ming'er said so, so he must have seen it with his own eyes!
Although Ming'er is a little spoiled, he has always been filial. He would never lie about such things, let alone joke about his grandfather's health.
After much deliberation, Marquis Chengyi finally agreed, "Then I'll let you try. But let me be frank: if you can't cure it, I will not let you off easily!"
"What if it's cured?"
"If you can cure it, the Chengyi Marquisate will owe you a favor! In addition, you will be given a thousand taels of gold!"
Yu Youning's eyes lit up instantly.
A thousand taels of gold?
Wouldn’t that mean I can buy lots of delicious food?
She knew she had come to the right place!
Yu Youning waved her hand proudly, "Then get out of the way! I'm about to start!"
Get treatment done quickly!
Hurry up and take the gold to buy food!
Marquis Chengyi was still a little nervous, but since he had already agreed, he stepped aside.
Shen Qingmo also stood aside, his deep eyes flashing again and again.
I don’t know if Lin Siqiong has finished her business.
Yu Youning took two steps forward with his short legs and reached the edge of the bed.
Just as he was about to insert the silver needle into the old marquis, he suddenly stopped.
Zhai Heming had been standing nervously by the side. Seeing Yu Youning suddenly stop, he hurriedly urged, "Yu Youning, quickly stab my grandfather!"
This sounds so filial!
Yu Youning's two handsome eyebrows wrinkled, and her fair and tender face looked like a bun with eighteen wrinkles.
"I can't pierce it anymore."
Having said that, Yu Youning put away the golden needle.
"It can't be acupunctured anymore?" Zhai Heming was dumbfounded. "Why can't it be acupunctured anymore? Didn't you say it could definitely be cured?"
Marquis Chengyi had never really trusted Yu Youning, so when he heard her say she couldn't pierce the wound anymore, he sneered, "Can't pretend anymore? I knew you didn't have the ability to do it. You're just fooling around!"
"I'm not messing around!"
Yu Youning looked at Marquis Chengyi angrily.
"Why don't you trust me? If you do that again, I'll be angry. Even if you beg me, I won't come!"
"What a joke!" Marquis Chengyi shook his sleeves. "Would I beg you? Absolutely not!"
"You said it! I'm leaving now!"
Yu Youning turned around and was about to leave. Zhai Heming quickly pulled her sleeve, "Yu Youning! Don't go! You promised me! What happened to my grandfather?"
Yu Youning pulled his hand back and gave Zhai Heming an unhappy look. "Don't pull me! When we came here just now, your grandfather was just sick, but now he's poisoned."
"Impossible!" Marquis Chengyi retorted directly, "My father was just sick, how could he be poisoned? You said that when you first arrived, my father was only sick, how could he be poisoned in such a short time?"
"If you don't believe me, ask another doctor to take a look!"
The old marquis was seriously ill, so the Chengyi Marquis' Mansion not only invited several doctors, but also invited an imperial physician. All of them are now living in the mansion.
Marquis Chengyi didn't say much and just asked the butler to invite everyone over.
"Could you please take a look at how my father is doing now?"
Several people took orders and stepped forward, with the imperial physician leading the way.
As soon as the imperial physician saw the old marquis's expression, he panicked.
"This! What's going on? Why is the old marquis poisoned?"
