Chapter 918 Who fed the medicine?
After much deliberation, Lin Yuesha made up her mind: as a modern person, she shouldn't restrict herself like this.
Perhaps the stand-in is under even more pressure than she is.
After rinsing her mouth, Lin Yuesha took the medicine bowl and said to Bai Cha, "Bai Cha, I know your loyalty, but my husband is seriously ill, and it is my responsibility to feed him medicine. I must do it."
"Miss, please be careful."
Bai Cha's voice trembled with tears. Unaware of the truth, she thought the medicine in the bowl was poisoned and was very worried about her young mistress.
Lin Yuesha was extremely insistent, and Bai Cha's attempts to persuade her failed; she kept wiping away tears.
Qingxing smiled bitterly. The three groups of people in the room knew completely different things.
Qi Heng was the mastermind, Qing Xing and Qi'er were insiders, Lin Yuesha was an insider who was kept in the dark about some details, and Bai Cha knew nothing about it.
I imagine Qi Heng is also worried right now.
Qingxing stepped aside, prepared a water basin and towel, fed the medicine, and then rinsed the mouth.
At this moment, Qi Heng had calmed down. He knew what Lin Yuesha was thinking, and all that remained was the excitement of their upcoming intimate contact.
Although the medicine was bitter, he endured it because his wife was feeding him.
Qi Heng deeply regretted concealing the fact that the person in the bed was the real person and not a substitute. Fortunately, the outcome was as he expected; otherwise, if Bai Cha had truly been feeding him the medicine, he feared he wouldn't have been able to keep up the act.
What is poison to him is honey to me. Qi Heng's mind was filled with countless fantasies, and even bitter medicine tasted like nectar.
We waited and hoped.
Qi Heng noticed Lin Yuesha approaching. Her breath was slightly sweet. She was sitting on one side of the bed, and the sound of her stirring the medicine was clear.
It'll be soon, very soon.
Qi Heng's heart trembled as he waited for the final moment; no one knew the anticipation he felt.
To avoid being too beastly, Qi Heng never dared to get too close to his wife, waiting for her to grow up. Thinking of Lin Yuesha's words about being eighteen, Qi Heng suddenly felt that the road ahead was long and arduous.
Lin Yuesha wiped her sweat with a handkerchief; once she made up her mind, she would resolutely forge ahead.
Just as she was about to drink the first sip of bitter medicine and feed it to the substitute, footsteps came from the doorway.
"Miss, Young Master Luo has arrived."
Upon hearing Longjing's report, Lin Yuesha immediately put down her medicine bowl and stood up.
After waiting a few breaths, before he could even take a sip of the medicine, Qi Heng heard that the Prince of Luo had arrived, and he had a bad feeling.
"uncle."
Lin Yuesha held Luo Wang in high esteem. Previously, the two were considered equals, but because of Qi Heng's relationship with Luo Wang, Lin Yuesha now regarded him as an elder, just like Madam Xu.
"Yue Sha, how is Qi boy?"
Along the way, the Prince of Luo encountered Lady Xu and Xu Da. The two sighed and refused to say much, which made the Prince of Luo feel a little gloomy.
He and his brother had both been poisoned and had some understanding of the matter; as long as they could delay, there was still hope.
The Prince of Luo was more optimistic than the others; he did not believe that Qi Heng would die from poisoning, he believed it was impossible.
"Still unconscious."
Facing the Prince of Luo, Lin Yuesha had nothing to hide and repeated what she had told Madam Xu.
There aren't many other options available right now, so we can only resort to the method of fighting poison with poison, even if it has little effect.
"So, you're planning to give me the medicine?"
Luo Wang followed Lin Yuesha into the room, glanced at the medicine bowl on the table, and asked.
"Um."
Lin Yuesha lowered her eyes and nodded obediently.
"Lin girl, this medicine contains a deadly poison."
Luo Wang pretended to know nothing and stopped Lin Yuesha from walking.
Even though the mouth is used as a container, inexperienced people may still swallow some.
To be on the safe side, the Prince of Luo acted as the one who fed the medicine.
Upon hearing this, Qi Heng almost sat up in bed.
At every crucial moment, demons and monsters would come to cause trouble, and the King of Luo was one of them.
Qi Heng prayed in his heart that his wife would persevere; he didn't want to have intimate contact with Prince Luo, he didn't!
"They're both poisons; the effect is the same whether you or I administer them."
With Prince Luo as her savior, Lin Yuesha almost burst into tears of joy. She forced back her ecstatic words.
Anyway, the one in bed was a substitute, and Luo Wang was slightly better at feeding her medicine than she was. Luo Wang was truly a timely help!
If her cousin hadn't left, leaving only a few maids in the room, Lin Yuesha wouldn't have been in such a predicament.
“Lin girl, have you forgotten? Your uncle has been poisoned before, and I have already tasted these poisons once.”
Without a word, the Prince of Luo snatched the medicine bowl, took a mouthful, and forced it to Qi Heng.
Qi Heng closed his eyes tightly and did not struggle. His heart felt like it was being soaked in ice water, frozen solid, chilling him to the bone.
The bitter medicine soup was not only bitter, but after being fed it by Prince Luo, Qi Heng almost vomited, and it also had a strange smell.
After feeding him a mouthful, Luo Wang realized that he hadn't rinsed his mouth in his haste.
"I ate garlic."
The Prince of Luo felt somewhat apologetic, but given his nephew's current condition, he certainly wouldn't be able to get up and confront him.
"Cough cough."
Qingxing and Qi'er couldn't help but give an awkward smile and say, "Young Master Luo, what time is it? Why are you making such a joke?"
My lord is truly pitiful; he should blame himself for not telling the truth.
"Forget it, I'll just treat that bitter medicine as a mouthwash."
After Luo Wang finished speaking, Qi Heng almost fainted. He finally understood what it meant to be at the mercy of others, and now he was powerless to resist.
After swallowing a bowl of bitter medicine, Prince Luo turned around and found that Lin Yuesha and several maids had been watching from behind.
Several people stared blankly at him.
"Lin girl, aren't you organizing the account books? Go ahead and do your work. Your uncle wants to say a few words to Qi boy."
Luo Wang dismissed Lin Yuesha, wanting to reveal his true feelings.
Lin Yuesha had no choice but to retreat to the outer hall, but she had no interest in looking at the account books and wanted to eavesdrop on what the Prince of Luo was saying.
"Young Qi, I'll take over the task of feeding you medicine from now on."
One sentence from the Prince of Luo almost sent Qi Heng away.
Seeing Qi Heng's expressionless face and still unconscious, the Prince of Luo lowered his head, a deep glint flashing in his eyes.
He rushed as fast as he could, catching up with Lin Yuesha as she was feeding her medicine, thus successfully intercepting her.
In order to trick Qi Heng, Luo Wang deliberately ate extra garlic on the way.
The story begins when the Prince of Luo met Lady Xu and Xu Da on his journey.
The two men left without saying anything, and after a while, Xu Da returned.
The two were in the carriage without any informants. Under repeated questioning from the Prince of Luo, Xu Da finally told the truth.
Xu Da is a simpleton; he never intended to betray Qi Heng and has kept it a secret all along.
Why worry about too many insiders exposing their knowledge? At least Prince Luo and Madam Xu aren't outsiders. Are they complaining that they lack acting skills?
There is a perfect opportunity for Qi Heng to act. Qi Heng is good at scheming, and so are they.
The pits are small and evenly spaced, not exceeding the acceptable limits, and will not affect subsequent development at all.
Having suffered so many losses, Xu Da and Luo Wang were both badly treated and missed their chance to make a comeback.
There was no way he could miss it, so King Luo decided to step forward and personally feed him the medicine.
As expected, Lin Yuesha thought Luo Wang's words made sense. At least people who had been poisoned were not as sensitive to poison as before. In addition, she thought the person in bed was a substitute, so Luo Wang easily took over the job.
