Everyone inside and outside Xingyu Lane was busy collecting money and belongings.
Taking advantage of the fact that the old lady and Wei Shaoqing were unable to do anything, Yuan Zhao took Yuan Nanan and Yuan Zhizhi to a place in the city.
It is a remote teahouse.
Both mother and daughter wore veils to avoid being recognized by others.
Biyun was already waiting at the door. As soon as Yuan Zhao arrived, she took them to the inner room.
There was another person sitting in the inner room, with gray hair and white beard. He was Doctor Zhang, who had retired from the Imperial Medical Bureau and returned home.
As soon as Yuan Zhao entered the room, Doctor Zhang stood up and saluted her.
She raised her hand, took off her veil, and quickly helped Doctor Zhang up:
"Doctor Zhang, please excuse me."
Gan Tang held Yuan Zhizhi in his arms, while Yuan Zhao took Yuan Nan'an's hand and sat down.
"Doctor Zhang, I specially invited you here today because I want you to help diagnose my daughter's throat."
Yuan Nanan sat next to Yuan Zhao, seemingly without any hope.
My mother had consulted many doctors before, but none of them could help her.
Doctor Zhang nodded and put on a handkerchief to check Yuan Nan'an's pulse.
Yuan Zhizhi bit her pacifier and stretched her head to look, without disturbing him.
After taking Yuan Nan'an's pulse, Doctor Zhang carefully observed his throat.
After doing this examination, Doctor Zhang put down his hand and frowned.
He first asked, "Your Highness, do you know why the second young lady's voice is damaged?"
Yuan Zhao recalled what happened that year when Qi Yu got lost. She was in a trance the whole day and couldn't pay attention to Nan'an.
One morning, a servant came to report that the second young lady suddenly couldn't speak.
I originally thought he just caught a cold, so I asked the court doctor to treat him, but for some reason he could no longer speak.
Doctor Zhang was silent for a moment after hearing this and said, "Your Highness is actually correct. The Second Young Lady probably just had a cold at first."
Yuan Zhao was stunned for a moment, then listened as Doctor Zhang continued, "The second young lady's throat didn't break down all of a sudden. Based on what I've seen, I can infer that she must have taken an overdose of drugs like Strychnos nux vomica and Platycodon grandiflorum, which caused the throat irritation."
"These drugs are commonly used in medicines. Even a slight increase in the dose can cause symptoms, making them the easiest to mix into drugs for poisoning."
"So..." Yuan Zhao was silent for a moment, "It's very likely that the doctor poisoned the medicine?"
Doctor Zhang nodded.
Yuan Zhaowei closed his eyes. What Zhizhi said before was right. It was basically certain that it was the old lady or Wei Shaoqing who ordered the court doctor to do it.
[Zhizhisu is right, it was the old witch who did the evil! ]
[Because Wo'e's sister is smart and beautiful, she is jealous and unhappy that her mistress didn't give birth to a daughter!]
Yuan Nan'an had been sitting quietly and obediently on the side, and there was no expression on his face when he heard these words.
Hearing Zhizhi's thoughts, Yuan Zhao looked at his second daughter with eyes full of guilt.
When Nan'an was born, she and Wei Shaoqing had just arrived in Yangzhou, and that was also the time when she thought her relationship with Wei Shaoqing was the closest.
The couple already had a son and welcomed a daughter. Wei Shaoqing was extremely "happy" at that time.
Yuan Nanan's appearance combines the advantages of her and Wei Shaoqing. She has been a beauty since she was a child, and she was also a cheerful and lively girl when she was young.
She is obedient and sensible. Occasionally, when she sees her father and mother having some conflicts, she always acts as a little cotton-padded jacket to make Wei Shaoqing happy.
Yuan Zhao remembered that Wei Shaoqing was at home most of the time during that period, and their married life became much closer because of the birth of their daughter.
Now that she thought about it, she had a close look at the pregnancy and birth times of her own four children and Xing Yuxiang's three children.
Almost one after the other.
Wei Shaoqing really didn't delay either side. When his mistress was pregnant, he would spend more time with her, and when she was pregnant, he would go to accompany his mistress.
But Bai Ruyue was so jealous that she even hated her daughter for this!
Yuan Zhao held Yuan Nan'an in her arms, and she only hated herself as a mother for not being able to bear the pain for her child.
She then pleaded, "Doctor Zhang, is there any way to heal my daughter's throat?"
Hearing this, Doctor Zhang could only shake his head. "If he had lost his voice at the beginning, I might have been able to save him." His face was filled with regret. "Now it's been so long, his throat is completely necrotic, and there's nothing I can do to save him."
…
Biyun sent Doctor Zhang away, and Yuan Zhao was still sitting in the teahouse.
Her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. She hated herself for not paying attention to the children earlier, and she hated herself for trusting Wei Shaoqing so much, relying on him wholeheartedly, and believing in him without a doubt.
Yuan Nan'an had already accepted the reality that she could no longer speak. She was very calm and even gestured to comfort her mother:
【Mother, it’s okay.】
Let's go back! My daughter wants to go back to her horse stance!
She has no other wishes now, her only wish is to become very strong so that she can protect her mother and sister!
Yuan Zhizhi looked at her mother, then at her second sister, her big eyes rolling around, not knowing what she was thinking.
After returning to Wei Mansion, Yuan Nan'an sat in horse stance in the house without slacking off at all.
During this period, she came to Zhizhi whenever she had free time, so that she could practice and accompany her younger sister.
Yuan Zhizhi was lying on the couch, with her right hand in her left sleeve, trying to take something out.
Yuan Nan'an finished a set of basic exercises and sat next to her drinking water.
She saw the chubby little hand beside her handing something over to her. She turned around and saw that the little sister was holding a green grass in her hand.
Yuan Zhizhi was babbling, and if Yuan Nan'an couldn't hear her thoughts, she really wouldn't know what she was trying to do.
[Sister, please eat this! After you eat it, you can talk now!]
This grass? Isn't it just ordinary grass?
Now that the city is blocked by heavy snow, where did Zhizhi get such green grass?
Yuan Nan'an naturally didn't believe it, but even Xiaobai jumped up and used his claws to move the grass in her hand, indicating that she should eat it.
She couldn't resist, as long as it could make her little sister happy, she would be willing to eat grass.
So Yuan Nan'an stuffed the grass into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and then drank a sip of water and swallowed it.
After eating, she spread her hands to indicate that she was done.
Yuan Zhizhi clapped her hands and laughed happily.
[Great! My sister can talk now!]
Yuan Nanan touched the little sister's head and felt that she was so innocent and cute, so he prepared to stand up and start the next set of exercises.
Just as she stood up, she suddenly felt something strange inside her body.
My whole body felt like thousands of ants were crawling around, especially my throat, which felt like it was burning with a bone-eating pain.
She fell to the ground, holding her neck with both hands and rolling around in pain.
When Yuan Zhao came in and saw this scene, she was scared to death!
He quickly fell to the ground, hugged Yuan Nan'an and asked, "Nan Nan! Nan Nan! What's wrong with you?"
Then she shouted outside at the top of her voice: "Gan Tang! Gan Tang! Go find him quickly..."
