"What's going on? I... I feel like I can't move!"
Song Lingshi was immediately horrified.
"Hmph! This is all the Crown Princess's fault. If she hadn't interrupted and affected my treatment, Young Master Song wouldn't be in this state now!"
At this moment, the old doctor standing to the side snorted coldly.
"Crown Princess? Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I pay my respects."
Upon hearing this, Song Lingshi realized that the Crown Princess was standing in front of him. Although he was lying in bed, he did not forget the proper order of things.
“Young Master Song, there’s no need for formalities. I’d like to take your pulse now.”
Su Liluo reached out and stopped him.
Song Lingshi did not believe the doctor's words, but upon hearing the Crown Princess's words, he immediately obediently extended his hand.
Although he suddenly felt unwell a couple of days ago, and both the divine doctor and his second brother said that there was a problem with the medicine prescribed by the Crown Princess, he still didn't completely believe it.
Firstly, he had no grudge against the Crown Prince and Crown Princess, so they had no reason to treat him like this. Secondly, he genuinely felt that he was almost cured after taking the medicine prescribed by the Crown Princess.
But for some reason, he suddenly felt unwell, and he always felt that something was amiss.
As Su Liluo took the pulse, her brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
After a moment, she spoke: "Young Master Song, he has been poisoned."
What!
Poisoning?
Upon hearing this, Grand Tutor Song and the others looked at Su Liluo in shock.
"Crown Princess, are you... are you telling the truth?"
Grand Tutor Song asked uncertainly.
He didn't notice that when he asked that question again, both Young Master Song and the divine doctor showed a flash of panic.
Especially the divine physician, who glanced at Su Liluo with surprise.
I never expected that the Crown Princess would be so capable; she actually managed to tell that she had been poisoned.
"Your Highness, what kind of poison has the young master been poisoned with? Why can't I detect it?"
The physician standing nearby also asked in confusion.
At first, he examined Song Lingshi, but he couldn't find out that he was poisoned.
"Gu poison".
Su Liluo uttered these words calmly.
"What? Gu..."
Grand Tutor Song was astonished. "How could this be? This poison is a form of witchcraft, forbidden by imperial decree. How could Ling Shi have been poisoned by it!"
"Then we should really question the person who cast the curse."
Su Liluo raised her eyes and looked at Young Master Song and the old man.
"But we don't know who cast the curse! Your Highness, can you cure my elder brother's curse?"
Song Donghao sighed in distress.
"To remove the curse, we must find the person who cast it and know who has the mother curse."
Su Liluo said calmly.
Upon hearing this, the expression on the Second Young Master Song's face relaxed slightly.
Have we found the mother Gu?
That's absolutely impossible.
If they can't find him, then even the Crown Princess can't help him; his elder brother is still beyond saving.
"Where...where are we supposed to find the person who cast the curse?"
Song Donghao said again, troubled.
"Far away, yet right before my eyes."
Su Liluo said without any concern.
"Crown Princess, do you know who used the poison?"
Upon hearing this, Song Donghao, who had been dejected, immediately became overjoyed.
The Second Young Master Song, who was standing to the side, also became worried. How could she possibly know?
"Your Highness, does this mean the person who cast the curse is right here?"
However, Grand Tutor Song, who was standing to the side, grasped the key point in Su Liluo's words and asked with a complicated expression.
The people here are all from the Grand Tutor's Mansion. If the person who cast the curse is here, wouldn't that mean Ling Shi was harmed by his own people?
this......
Based on his years of experience navigating the officialdom, he naturally knew that this was a conspiracy.
He still couldn't figure out who wanted to harm his son, because he suspected that someone in his household might have been bribed by outsiders, making his residence unsafe, or perhaps...
He hoped it wouldn't be the second outcome.
"Well, I need to find the person who carries the mother Gu now, so I will offend you in the following matters. I hope you will forgive me, Grand Tutor Song."
Su Liluo nodded lightly and spoke to Grand Tutor Song.
"It's alright. As long as the Crown Princess can save my son, I will have no objection."
Grand Tutor Song bowed and said.
After all, Song Lingshi was his legitimate son, and he had been exceptionally outstanding, the most academically gifted member of the Song family. Naturally, he would do his best to protect this son.
"I wonder how the Crown Princess intends to find the person who cast the curse? What if the Crown Princess has wronged someone, and the person who cast the curse isn't here?"
Young Master Song felt a little worried, so he asked.
Su Liluo glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, they're definitely here. As long as everyone from the Song family is here, they won't be unable to find us."
"Princess Consort, aren't you being a little too confident? If we don't find it, won't you give us an explanation?"
"An explanation? Even Grand Tutor Song didn't say that, so why is Second Young Master Song so nervous? Are you afraid of something?"
Su Liluo raised an eyebrow, looking at the Second Young Master Song with a meaningful gaze that made him feel uneasy.
He said guiltily, "I... I was just asking."
"Young Master Song is infected with a 'child gu'. If he smells the blood of the 'mother gu', the 'child gu' in his body will immediately become agitated and suffer terribly."
Therefore, all that's needed is for each person to cut a drop of blood, present it to Young Master Song, and let him smell it. The person who reacts is the one carrying the mother Gu.
