Chapter 117: The Zhou family is your mother's family after all, please consider our relationship
The dose of poison is not lethal; at most, it will just give people a stomachache.
The kitchen has prepared the food, and the masters of the mansion must take their seats whether they are willing or not.
This meal was originally prepared for Aunt Liu's funeral. Because of Liu Mingyue's behavior before, everyone was scared. No one dared to speak, and no one wanted to speak.
The taro rice served was salty and delicious. Everyone ate quietly. Zhao Yinlian, who was the first to pick up her chopsticks, soon felt severe pain in her abdomen. Except for Zhou Qianqian, no one knew what was going on. Old Madam Zhou was also a little confused and immediately asked someone to call a doctor.
Aunt Bai and the others were a little confused when they saw this, but as concubines, they still stepped forward to express their concern for the mistress.
Soon, everyone realized something was wrong. The doctor hadn't come yet, and everyone who had eaten during the meal began to experience abdominal pain. Liu Mingyue thought the Zhou family's chef was good, so she ate a few bites of the meal.
"Madam! Please bear with it, the doctor will be here soon." Peanut was very nervous when he saw Liu Mingyue sweating on her forehead due to the pain.
After all, as someone who had been with Bai Ziyu before, Liu Mingyue guessed that her unusual and severe abdominal pain must be due to poisoning, but now was not the time to point it out.
The doctor was quickly called in. Seeing that the hall was in chaos, he hurriedly took everyone's pulse and frowned as soon as he felt the pulse.
"Madam, I checked your pulses and all of them showed signs of poisoning. I think you must have eaten something wrong."
Some foods are poisonous, and if they are not used carefully or are not identified, it is not uncommon for them to cause poisoning.
"Please prescribe the medicine as soon as possible, sir." Old Madam Zhou was old and had not eaten much. Her abdominal pain was relieved and she could barely speak.
"Yes! I will write the prescription for you ladies right away." The doctor quickly wrote the prescription and asked someone to get the medicine.
"However, old lady, my medical skills are not very good. The medicine I prescribed can only suppress the toxicity, but cannot eliminate it."
Saving lives cannot be ambiguous, so even if it is a bit embarrassing to say so, the doctor still tells the truth. Human life is at stake and cannot be taken lightly.
The old lady's face changed drastically when she heard this: "Sir, you are one of the best doctors in the capital, how could you not cure this poison?"
The doctor they invited was a famous one in the capital. If he couldn't cure the disease, the old lady couldn't think of anyone else.
The doctor lowered his head in shame. When he felt the patient's pulse just now, he already knew that he had no way to treat this poison. The old lady only thought that the doctor she invited was one of the best in the capital, but she didn't know that the poison Zhou Qianqian used was also one of the most troublesome!
"Then what should we do? Are we just going to have to endure the pain forever?" Old Madam Zhou frowned as she covered her abdomen in severe pain.
"There are always people who are better than you. I'd like to invite a doctor who is more skilled than me. Maybe he can find a solution."
The doctor looked at the miserable condition of the people in the hall and felt sorry but helpless.
"Where can we find such a person in such a short time?" Zhao Yinlian screamed in despair.
What Zhao Yinlian said was right. Right now everyone was almost dying from stomachache. How could they wait to ask someone else to come?
The best doctor in the capital is right here in the mansion. It is not difficult to find a doctor with better medical skills than him, but it takes time.
Liu Mingyue held her aching stomach and pressed her forehead against the table in pain. Because she was often mistreated in Zhou's house in her early years, her spleen and stomach were not good. She couldn't be hungry, and she couldn't eat too much. The poison in her body was enough to make her feel miserable.
"Peanut, go to Zuixianlou, take out this jade token, and ask to see Divine Doctor Bai Ziyu. When he sees the jade token, he will follow you."
Liu Mingyue took off her jade pendant and gave it to Huasheng. In fact, she didn't need the jade pendant. Bai Ziyu would come when she saw Huasheng. In order to be on the safe side, Liu Mingyue had to make more plans. If the pain lasted any longer, she might pass out.
"Okay, I'll go right away. Guihua, please take good care of the madam." Peanut took the jade token and stood up and ran out without wasting a moment.
Bai Ziyu was drinking in Zuixianlou when the waiter brought in a jade pendant and said someone was looking for him. He ignored the wine and walked out of the room to look into the lobby, where he saw Liu Mingyue's maid waiting downstairs anxiously.
Bai Ziyu didn't ask anything on the way and rushed all the way to Zhou's house. He walked fast and saw Liu Mingyue in front of Huasheng first.
Since Peanut was able to invite people and said that something happened in Zhou Mansion, Bai Ziyu assumed that something must have happened to Liu Mingyue. However, when he arrived at the flower hall of Zhou Mansion, he heard wailing everywhere and the women in the mansion were staggering, all supported by maids.
Bai Ziyu was stunned for a moment, but when he caught a glimpse of the familiar figure, he immediately calmed down and walked towards her quickly.
Liu Mingyue lowered her head and closed her eyes. When she smelled a familiar medicinal fragrance, she breathed a sigh of relief and obediently stretched out her hand.
The other party didn't say much. He pinched her wrist and helped her feel her pulse. After feeling Liu Mingyue's pulse, Bai Ziyu's frown relaxed. He took out a pill and fed it to Liu Mingyue's mouth. She obediently opened her mouth and ate it. Her lips, which were a little cold due to the pain, accidentally touched his fingers.
Bai Ziyu suddenly retracted his hand as if he was burned by an extremely hot iron, but Liu Mingyue was in so much pain that she didn't notice his actions.
"You have been poisoned, but the dosage is not high. The poison is called Ten Thousand Needles Piercing the Intestines. It is not famous, but expensive. A dose of a fingernail can kill a person. However, the amount of poison you ingested is small, so it will not be fatal. However, if the poison is not eliminated, your stomach and intestines will be in severe pain for a day. You will be fine after taking the pills."
Bai Ziyu patted Liu Mingyue on the back, paying attention to the changes in Liu Mingyue's expression, and didn't care about the lives of others.
After a cup of tea, Liu Mingyue's abdominal cramps began to slowly disappear. Bai Ziyu was relieved to see that her complexion had improved. He asked Guihua to help her up and said, "Let's leave here first."
As soon as Bai Ziyu finished speaking, Old Madam Zhou had no intention of helping others with their illnesses, so she immediately stopped them and said, "Where are you going? Why don't you save people and check on the others? Didn't you see that the other women in the family were also poisoned?"
The old lady thought that one of the servants had invited Bai Ziyu over, but she didn't know that the other party came here because of Liu Mingyue.
Because of Liu Mingyue, Bai Ziyu had a bad attitude towards the Zhou family. How dare Old Madam Zhou boss him around?
Bai Ziyu had been a doctor for many years, but he had never heard such a commanding tone even in front of the nobles in the palace. What are the people of the Zhou family? Bai Ziyu ignored Madam Zhou's words and walked out around the person lying on the ground.
Old Madam Zhou's face darkened, but seeing that the other party was arrogant and had an extraordinary demeanor, she immediately detoxified him. She was afraid that the person was not an ordinary person, and the women in the mansion still needed detoxification and treatment. Old Madam Zhou looked at Liu Mingyue who was helped to get up.
"Princess, please stay! The Zhou family... the Zhou family is your mother's family after all. Please consider our relationship and say a few nice words to this doctor, asking him to detoxify the female family members." Old Madam Zhou saw that Bai Ziyu and Liu Mingyue had a close relationship, so she had to "beg" Liu Mingyue.
