Chapter 265 "Madam Ruan, you must save the master!!"
She frowned and followed him into the house.
After helping them lay Xie Huaian on the bed, he immediately felt his pulse and checked his condition.
But this pulse condition made Ruan Mian's face change slightly.
She couldn't help but look at Xie Huaian twice more. After looking into his eyes, she understood the emotions flowing in his eyes and made another diagnosis.
Minister Dong was extremely anxious, and his other subordinates were also extremely worried.
"Madam Ruan, may the Lord help me?"
"The Master was just discussing matters with us, how could he suddenly vomit blood?! What on earth happened? Is the Master okay?"
"Madam Ruan, you must save the master!!"
Minister Dong also bent down, looked at Ruan Mian meaningfully, and said, "Madam Ruan, is the lord's condition poisoning?"
Ruan Mian glanced at Xie Huaian and feigned anxiety, "It's indeed a sign of poisoning, Minister Dong! Go and get all the doctors in the city here right away!"
When the bystanders heard this, their faces suddenly changed: "What?! Is it so serious?" At this moment, there were other officials in the post station, and even minor officials in Wuheng City came to the post station today to handle their duties.
No one expected that Lord Xie would suddenly be poisoned.
Now those people were very nervous, worried that they would be blamed for this matter.
Send someone to invite more doctors quickly.
Ruan Mian asked someone to bring the medicine box and treated Xie Huaian with a frown. The darker his face became, the more worried the people around him became.
"Did you eat anything today, sir?"
The servant beside him immediately knelt down and trembled, saying, "Madam Ruan! The master only ate some cakes today, but...but the other officials present also ate, so these cakes are fine!"
The officers nearby quickly chimed in: "Yeah, yeah, we're all fine. It definitely wasn't about the pastries just now. Could there be another cause?"
"Yeah, we just got here not long ago and we don't know anything."
Xie Huaian clutched his chest and looked weakly at the people present: "This matter has nothing to do with you, sirs. It probably started... yesterday. I was already feeling unwell yesterday."
After hearing what he said, those people breathed a sigh of relief and began to care about his health.
Xie Huaian waved his hand and said comfortingly: "It's okay. When the doctors arrive, they will naturally find a way to save us. You should go home, everyone. We will discuss official matters another day."
As soon as he finished speaking, another stream of blood spurted out of Xie Huaian!
Everyone was terrified, and the officers were eager to leave the scene.
"Minister, please send this messenger off..."
"My lord, please don't be polite. Please take good care of yourself. We will not disturb the doctor's treatment now! If you have anything else, please send someone to tell me."
After the ceremony, those people left the place without stopping.
After everyone in the room had left, Ruan Mian went to close the door and poured a cup of hot water for Xie Huaian: "Rinse your mouth, this duck blood is quite fishy, isn't it?"
Xie Huaian pretended to be upset: "Madam... don't you feel any pain at all?"
Seeing that he was still acting in front of her, Ruan Mian laughed and personally brought the cup of warm water to his mouth.
"Your Excellency pretended to be poisoned and released the news, but is this fishing?"
"Will this method be enough to attract anyone?"
Seeing that she had seen through him, Xie Huaian stopped pretending.
He also knew that his wife had seen through his plan from the moment she took his pulse.
So he drank the glass of water and rinsed his mouth to get rid of the raw taste in his mouth before he spoke slowly.
"Whether the fish will bite or not depends on whether the bait is fat enough."
"Minister!" Xie Huaian shouted, and saw Minister Dong walk in from outside and bow.
"Sir, the news has been spread, and I have already sent away all the doctors who came."
Ruan Mian frowned slightly, and couldn't help but guess: "Could it be that the news released by the lord is because he is missing something, and that thing is the bait?"
Minister Dong saw that she had hit the nail on the head and said with admiration, "Madam Ruan is indeed very intelligent and her guess was very accurate."
Ruan Mian looked at Xie Huaian, only to see him slowly wiping the blood off his clothes, and said calmly.
"During the interrogation of Han Ling, he revealed that someone would poison me and predicted that I wouldn't live long. This bait is a precious medicinal ingredient that Wu Heng doesn't have, and it's also the signal sent to the outside world."
"Once the signal was released, some people naturally couldn't hold back and came to see the adults' condition following the lead of the medicine."
Ruan Mian also understood his intention. Although this method could not bring out the problem 100%, it was the most direct method at present.
I believe the news released by the Minister must be very serious.
Seeing Ruan Mian lost in thought, Xie Huaian was filled with emotions. He held her hand and said with a hint of apology.
"I'm sorry I made you worry and didn't tell you in advance."
When Minister Dong saw this, he immediately turned around and left.
The couple was left alone, looking at each other and talking.
Ruan Mian recalled that when he first heard that Xie Huaian was poisoned, his heart really skipped a beat.
Fortunately, nothing serious happened to him, so I felt better.
"I'm glad you're okay."
But precisely because of this, Ruan Mian guessed some of his subsequent plans and couldn't help but ask.
"Sir, if this plan succeeds and leads to the assassin lurking in Wu Heng, what will be your next move?"
In her opinion, there is not much to check in Wuheng.
Especially since Han Ling was killed and Chen Bochong also died a violent death, if the secret guards behind the scenes are found, they can probably follow the clues of the secret guards to find higher-ups.
This also means that he might... leave here.
Xie Huaian gently embraced her, seemed to see through her guess, and whispered in her ear.
"My wife is thinking about what I should do next."
"Mianmian, do you want to ride a horse?"
Ruan Mian suppressed his expression and chuckled softly, "It's already late, why are you riding a horse for no reason? My husband, don't forget that you are still a dying person who has been poisoned. If someone finds you still riding a horse with full spirits, then this chess game will be in vain."
Xie Huaian laughed, got up from the bed and held her waist tightly.
"Then don't let anyone see you and leave secretly."
After saying this, he suddenly jumped out of the window holding Ruan Mian and came to the side yard of the post station.
The people on duty here had long been sent away by Minister Dong, and even the horses were prepared for the two of them.
Xie Huaian carried him onto the horse and asked Ruan Mian to hold him tightly. With a roar, the horse went out from the side door and headed straight for the wilderness in front of him, which was hidden in the darkness.
Moonlight poured down on the wilderness plain covered with light snow, and their vision became clearer as they adjusted to the darkness.
It was still snowing lightly at this moment, and Ruan Mian's cloak was blown high by the night wind.
Although the wind was biting cold, my heart was inexplicably burning.
She clenched her hands, pressed them against Xie Huaian's back, and gave him sincere advice.
"Husband, please be careful on this long journey."
