Zheng Dan instinctively tried to stand up, but because standing up was too sudden, her head spun and she swayed as if she was about to fall.
Zu An rushed over to support her: "What's wrong?"
The other party is a sixth-grade cultivator and a strong woman who was once the leader of a gang. When have I ever seen her so weak?
"It's nothing, I probably got up too quickly." Zheng Dan supported him and forced a smile.
Sang Qian, who followed, had a strange expression on her face. The two of them were so intimate and natural, as if they didn't exist.
However, she was worried about Zheng Dan's health and didn't have time to worry about anything else.
"Why is your body so weak now?" Zu An asked with a frown, while placing his hand on her pulse. Although he was not a doctor, cultivators generally had a good understanding of the body.
He sent a wisp of energy into Zheng Dan's body. Zheng Dan obviously felt it too. Since they were close, she was naturally unguarded and allowed the other's energy to enter.
"I don't know either, it's probably because I haven't been sleeping well lately." Zheng Dan tried to smile, but her face was extremely pale.
"Not sleeping well?" Zu An frowned deeply. Cultivators' bodies are much stronger than ordinary people's, so even if they don't sleep for several days, it won't have much of an effect. Why is he so weak?
He roughly checked the other party's body and found nothing unusual except for weakness. It was a pity that Ji Dengtu or Xiao Xi were not here, otherwise they could have made a more accurate judgment about what was going on.
He even considered whether he could invite a few imperial physicians to help him take a look. Imperial physicians do not live in the palace all the time; they are rotated. When they are at home, the princes and ministers in the capital often hire them at great expense to treat patients. With his current status and position, it would not be too difficult for him to invite an imperial physician.
At this moment, Sang Qian spoke up: "These days we have invited famous doctors from all over the capital, and even invited people from the Imperial Hospital to come and see her, but they all said that there is nothing wrong with my sister-in-law's health, and that she just needs to rest more. They prescribed some medicine to calm her mind, but unfortunately it has no effect."
Hearing that they had already consulted the imperial physician, Zu'an was even more surprised, as even the imperial physician couldn't figure out what was wrong with her body.
At this moment, Sang Qian hesitated for a moment and then said, "Some doctors even hinted that there was nothing wrong with my sister-in-law's health, but perhaps there was some unresolved issue in her heart."
She spoke very tactfully, and several doctors even told them privately that Zheng Dan was not sick, and if she wasn't faking it, then she must have some kind of mental block.
Her first thought was about Zheng Dan and Zu An's relationship. After all, her father had rejected her idea of leaving the Sang family some time ago, and the father and daughter did have some suspicions that it was caused by this.
"Nonsense! Those quacks can't even find the cause of the illness themselves, yet they use such absurd reasons to fob us off!" Zu'an roared, launching a tirade against the doctors.
A smile spread across Zheng Dan's face. As someone skilled in singing and dancing, she could naturally sense the suspicion the Sang family father and daughter had about her.
It seems that Ah Zu really understands me best.
Sang Qian was also a little embarrassed at this point, so she could only explain, "We have seen our sister-in-law getting thinner and thinner every day, and her body is getting weaker and weaker. We are very worried about her, so we are wondering if you have any ideas."
Zu An hurriedly looked at Zheng Dan: "Besides being weak, do you have any other symptoms?"
"I don't have any symptoms, but I can't sleep at night and I have nightmares very easily," Zheng Dan replied.
"What kind of nightmare?" Zuan pressed.
"A nightmare is a nightmare, anyway, it's terrifying." A faint blush spread across Zheng Dan's pale cheeks. She often dreamed that she and Zu An were caught being intimate by the Sang family father and daughter, and then she was dragged through the streets and condemned by everyone.
How could I say such a thing in front of Sang Qian?
Zuan had no choice but to ask in a different way: "How long has this problem been going on?"
"About half a month ago." Zheng Dan only recalled for a moment before he couldn't help but yawn several times, clearly exhausted.
“Half a month ago? I remember last time…” Zu An glanced at Sang Qian beside him, paused, and continued, “I don’t think this problem existed when I saw you last time.”
Zheng Dan replied, "Actually, I did wake up in the middle of the night a few times back then, but it wasn't too serious. It's only recently that the situation has gotten worse."
Her tone was also worried. She was still in the prime of her life, and there were so many wonderful things in the world. She didn't want to die so young.
"Did anything unusual happen to you two weeks ago? Or did you meet any special people? Or did you remove anything special?" Zu'an even suspected that she had removed some radioactive material.
“Nothing special happened,” Zheng Dan said, equally confused. “Most of the time I stay at home, sometimes I go out to take care of the Zheng family’s business in the capital, and a few times I went to the capital with Xiaoqian to wander around.”
"Where did you visit?" Zu An looked at Sang Qian, who was more familiar with the capital, so it was better to ask her directly.
"They're just some famous tourist attractions..." Sang Qian listed several places, which were indeed the most common places with a large daily flow of people, so it was unlikely that any problems would occur.
Zuan thought for a moment and then asked, "Do you have any questions?"
Sang Qian was also somewhat bewildered: "No, I'm perfectly healthy."
Zu An fell into deep thought. His first thought was that the Sang family father and daughter had discovered his relationship with Zheng Dan and, in order to cover up their family scandal or to avenge their son, they were trying to kill Zheng Dan.
However, he thought about it again and realized that it was unlikely. The alliance between the two sides was currently in a honeymoon period, so how could the Sang family make such a dangerous move? Once exposed, it would be a fight to the death.
Based on my interactions with them these past few days, it's far more likely that someone like Sang Hong would willingly give Zheng Dan to me than harm her.
