Chapter 370 Regret
Without even returning to Zhao Lanxuan, he asked someone to prepare the carriage. When the two of them arrived at the gate of the palace, the carriage had just parked.
After Chen Wan and Xie Jingyu got on the carriage, the servant drove the carriage to Lin's house.
Seeing the carriage from Prince Jingbei's Mansion approaching, the servant of the Lin Mansion came down the steps to greet them, but his face no longer had the smile of the past, and his eyes were a little red.
Old Tutor Lin and Old Madam Lin treated their servants kindly and never beat or punished them. In the twenty years of the Lin Mansion, they had not yet sold as many servants as other families in a year. Old Madam Lin was critically ill, and Old Tutor Lin also looked like he had been poisoned. The servants all felt that the situation was not good. They were worried about Old Tutor Lin and Old Madam Lin, and also about their own future.
Here, Chen Wan and Xie Jingyu entered the mansion, and the steward of the Lin Mansion came to greet them. Over there, an ordinary carriage stopped outside the door, and Zhao Yuan was getting out of the carriage.
The manager of the Lin residence didn't bother to greet Shen Wan, and hurried to greet Zhao Yuanzheng. Zhao Yuanzheng just nodded to Shen Wan and Xie Jingyu, and then hurried towards the inner courtyard.
Zhao Yuanzheng walked very quickly, and it looked like he was rushing to save someone.
Shen Wan had a bad feeling in her heart and asked the maid, "What happened to Madam Lin?"
The maid choked and said, "The old lady vomited blood and fainted..."
Shen Wanxin was half disappointed.
No matter what disease it is, if it reaches the stage of vomiting blood and fainting, it is extremely dangerous. In the previous life, the emperor was ill for more than a month and finally vomited blood and fainted. He died in less than three days.
Dean Zhao walked quickly, and when Shen Wan and Xie Jingyu entered the room, Dean Zhao had already finished taking the pulse of the unconscious Madam Lin.
Old Master Lin was also there. He just had a poor appetite, but he wasn't weak enough to need to stay in bed. After Zhao Yuanzheng stopped, Old Master Lin didn't even dare to ask about the situation. Zhao Yuanzheng said, "Old Master Lin, you have to be mentally prepared..."
Old Master Lin swayed for a moment, "How many days are left?"
It seemed as if all his life's energy had been put into these few words.
Zhao Yuanzheng replied, "Three days."
"But if we don't catch the person who poisoned us and get the antidote before sunset tomorrow, even if we find it later, it will be useless..."
Zhao Yuanzheng felt that there was no need to say the latter sentence.
Madam Lin has been poisoned for more than one or two days. For such a long time, they haven't even found where the poison is. There are only three days left to detoxify it. No, there is only one day left. Once the poison enters the lungs, no antidote will be effective.
Shen Wan walked to the screen and happened to hear this. She asked anxiously, "What should I do?"
The voice was hoarse and had a hint of crying.
Old Master Lin heard it and came over and said, "Why did you bring Wan'er with you? Take her back quickly."
Xie Jingyu said, "She must come, I can't stop her."
Old Master Lin said to Shen Wan, "You should go back. When your grandmother wakes up and sees you here, she will definitely be worried about you."
Shen Wan shook his head, “I’m here now, grandpa, please let me accompany grandma for a while.”
Old Master Lin couldn't bear it either. Old Madam Lin only had three days left, and he also hoped that Shen Wan could spend more time with Old Madam Lin.
But no one knows whether the house is clean or not.
Old Master Lin was worried and ordered the maid, "Open all the doors and windows."
The maid hurried to do it.
The inner room had indeed been completely changed as Shanhu said. If Chen Wan hadn't known this, she would have suspected that the maid had taken her the wrong way when she came in just now. The positions of the things were similar, but the things were different.
In fact, changing the furnishings in the house was much more troublesome than changing a new room for Old Lady Lin. Old Lady Lin moved to the small courtyard and lived there for a day, and she almost didn't sleep all night.
She had lived in this house for decades and had long been accustomed to it. She was already weak and couldn't eat, and if she couldn't sleep, it would cause even greater damage to her body, so she had no choice but to move back.
Old Master Lin had no choice but to replace all the things in the inner room that might have been tampered with, and those that could not be replaced were wiped inside and out several times.
Dean Zhao was going to get a prescription when Shen Wan walked towards the bed. Seeing that Old Madam Lin was so thin that she was almost skin and bones, Shen Wan's heart ached.
In fact, the prescription is of little use, but it is better than nothing. The steward took the prescription and went to get the medicine, while Zhao Yuanzheng came over to give acupuncture to Madam Lin.
Looking at the spot where Zhao Yuan was inserting the needle, Shen Wan gradually realized that something was wrong.
The acupuncture point is exactly the same as the one in the previous life when the emperor vomited blood and fell unconscious...
However, when the emperor fell ill in his previous life, Zhao Yuanzheng had already died, and it was Doctor Li who gave the emperor acupuncture.
Chen Wan thought carefully and realized that Madam Lin's poisoning was very similar to the emperor's illness in his previous life. The emperor in his previous life also suffered from loss of appetite first. However, the emperor has always been picky about food and often couldn't eat the imperial meals every two or three days. In addition, it is normal for a sick person to not eat. Chen Wan suspected that he was overthinking it.
After all, in his previous life, Imperial Physician Li never said that the emperor was poisoned. Among all the imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Bureau, not a single one said that the emperor was poisoned.
But when he saw that Madam Lin had the same purple nails on all ten fingers as the emperor, Shen Wan felt that he was not being overly suspicious.
As Zhao Yuan was pricking his fingers to let blood out, Shen Wan asked, "Are these the acupoints used to pierce the unconscious people to let blood out?"
Not only did Zhao Yuanzheng think that Shen Wan's question was strange, but Xie Jingyu was also puzzled, "Why do you ask that?"
Shen Wan said, "I'm just curious..."
Normally, since Madam Lin was so ill, the princess shouldn't be curious. But since she asked, Zhao Yuanzheng explained, "This is a common acupuncture method used to protect the heart meridian and force out poison. It's not necessary for people who are unconscious."
Shen Wan said, "In other words, this method is used on people who are poisoned and unconscious?"
Zhao Yuanzheng nodded, "Not bad."
Shen Wan's heart was shocked.
As expected, the emperor did not die of illness, but of poisoning.
The emperor has always treated Chen Wan well. Chen Wan does not want the emperor to be in trouble, especially before it is certain that the position of crown prince will not fall into Xiao Yun's hands, he must not fall ill.
However, in his previous life, the emperor fell ill after she gave birth to the child. Shen Wan wanted to remind the emperor more than once, but when she saw the emperor's rosy complexion and healthy appearance, she couldn't say the words.
Although illness can strike like a mountain, there are so many imperial doctors in the palace who are responsible for the emperor's illness, so generally the emperor's health will not suddenly take a turn for the worse, otherwise so many imperial doctors in the palace will be held accountable.
It turns out that the emperor was not simply sick, but was poisoned and murdered by someone!
Zhao Yuanzheng poured half a cup of poisonous blood. Old Madam Lin slowly woke up. When she saw Chen Wan, she was happy and worried.
Old Master Lin called Xie Jingyu aside and whispered, "Is there any way to get Huai Jin to come to the Lin Mansion?"
With only one day left, Old Master Lin did not dare to hold out hope that he could find the antidote to help Old Madam Lin detoxify.
All he could do was to make sure his partner left without any regrets.
Old Madam Lin has never met Pei Huaijin. Although she never mentioned it, Old Tutor Lin knew that she wanted to meet Pei Huaijin.
However, Pei Huaijin was detained in the Pei Mansion and was heavily guarded. If he wanted to get out, the only thing that Old Tutor Lin could think of was to go to the palace to ask the emperor for permission. However, this move would surely arouse suspicion. Old Tutor Lin also did not want to fulfill Old Madam Lin's wish and let Pei Huaijin take risks. Xie Jingyu had many ideas and perhaps there was a way to have the best of both worlds.
This was not an easy matter, but Xie Jingyu couldn't bear to refuse. "If I can't find the antidote tomorrow, I will definitely bring Pei Huaijin to the Lin Mansion."
Chen Wan sat on the edge of the bed, holding Madam Lin's hand tightly. The window was open and the wind was a bit strong, blowing in several fallen leaves, adding a sense of desolation.
Shanhu hurriedly picked up the fallen leaves. Shen Wan subconsciously looked towards the window and saw an exquisitely carved and lifelike jade sculpture placed on the low table next to the window.
Shen Wan's eyes fixed.
"Zhao Yuanzheng!"
