The trusted aide outside the door heard Ning Wei calling out...
He would try to wake himself up quickly by stabbing himself in the tiger's mouth or other means.
"My lord!"
Several people jumped into the mourning hall.
"Go and fetch a doctor!"
Ning Wei gave the order.
"yes!"
The two trusted confidants bowed and quickly left.
One person stayed behind, while the rest stood guard outside the door.
The trusted aide approached Ning Wei and offered his apology, "My lord, it was our negligence that led to our being plotted against..."
Ning Wei asked in a deep voice, "Did you see any shadows?"
The trusted aide replied, "No, the brothers were keeping a close eye on the surroundings at the time..."
If there were any suspicious circumstances, it would be impossible for them to collapse silently at the same time...
Ning Wei frowned, nodded, and remained silent.
As expected, this further confirms our previous conjecture.
"Well......"
Chen Yuhong kept rolling around, spitting out bubbles.
After all these years by his side, she bore him four children...
Even though Ning Wei looked down at her with disgust in his eyes, he still squatted down to examine Chen Yuhong's mouth...
I was worried she would bite off her tongue.
Fortunately, Chen Yuhong made no swallowing or biting motions; her throat seemed to be churning like a dried-up well, constantly spewing white foam...
His eyes were wide open, but he couldn't utter a single word; he could only make muffled sounds in pain.
"Speak? What's wrong with you?"
Ning Wei shouted, trying to bring Chen Yuhong to her senses.
But Chen Yuhong's throat continued to churn, unable to utter a single sound.
Her body was trembling uncontrollably, as if she had suddenly caught a chill. Ning Wei thought she was cold and ordered his trusted aide to fetch a blanket...
The trusted confidant returned quickly, but it was still to no avail.
Ning Wei pried open Chen Yuhong's hand, placed her fingers in his palm, and ordered, "What happened? Write it down!"
Chen Yuhong seemed to glance in Ning Wei's direction, and it appeared that she could understand what Ning Wei was saying.
Unfortunately, she had lost control of her body.
Ning Xi'er injected enough of the long-accumulated toxins into Xie Zhun's body.
Let her experience the pain of being a mother!
Ning Wei finally noticed something and carefully examined Chen Yuhong's arms and torso...
Give her the instruction to move.
But Chen Yuhong could only move her eyes; aside from twitching, she could do nothing else...
Ning Wei asked, "Is someone trying to harm you?"
Large tears slid down Chen Yuhong's cheeks.
But she couldn't even manage a simple nod.
Ning Wei seemed to realize that Chen Yuhong could only move her eyes and couldn't give any other feedback...
Therefore, Ning Wei said, "I'll ask. If I'm right, look up..."
If what I said is wrong, just look down...
Chen Yuhong trembled uncontrollably. Ning Wei finally reached out and held her body, which was wrapped in the blanket, and the convulsions subsided a little.
Ning Wei asked, "Are you acting like this because someone is trying to harm you?"
Chen Yuhong struggled to roll her eyelids upward.
Ning Wei asked again, "Did you see the murderer?"
Chen Yuhong turned her gaze downwards.
Ning Wei continued, "Is he still here?"
The white foam from Chen Yuhong's mouth gradually decreased, and it was clear that she was still in pain.
But she seemed to pause for a moment, her eyes neither looking up nor down.
Ning Wei asked tentatively, "You don't know if he's there or not? Or can't you see him?"
Chen Yuhong twitched twice, trying to look upwards.
Ning Wei considered the situation and had a general idea in mind. He asked one last question, "Did he just make a move that caused your injury?"
Since it was deliberate, Ning Wei recalled that only for a brief moment when he turned around did Chen Yuhong disappear from his sight...
And it takes effect immediately.
Chen Yuhong endured the pain, her gaze, which had been lowered, straining to look upwards...
Ning Wei immediately understood, and his previous guesses became even more certain.
Chen Yuhong finally succumbed to the excruciating pain throughout her body and fainted.
The doctor was brought back first, and Ning Wei ordered that he be examined immediately.
There are currently no extra staff in the manor, so it's really not advisable to divert manpower to treat patients in the side rooms...
Therefore, even though chaos and confusion ensued, the doctor was still arranged to examine Chen Yuhong directly in the mourning hall.
The doctor took the pulse through a handkerchief, probing it again and again.
They examined Chen Yuhong's mouth and nose, and fearing a misdiagnosis, they used silver needles to wake her up, but Chen Yuhong still couldn't make a sound.
Based on the doctor's instructions, the situation was determined to be basically the same as what Ning Wei had previously noticed.
After a thorough examination, the doctor knelt down on the ground with concern.
Only after Ning Wei promised not to blame or retaliate against his diagnosis did the doctor dare to give his verdict...
Chen Yuhong has completely lost the ability to speak.
The doctor was a renowned physician in Beijing, highly knowledgeable and experienced. From Chen Yuhong's vomit, he identified the culprit that had caused her to lose her voice...
It is the most potent mute medicine produced by the Imperial Pharmacy in the palace.
Originally intended to punish palace maids and eunuchs who colluded with those inside and outside the palace, and to prevent them from leaking palace secrets...
There is currently no cure.
Ning Wei's expression was grave as he asked the doctor why Chen Yuhong was having convulsions and unable to control her limbs...
The doctor kowtowed and replied, "Chen Yuhong is extremely cautious about the deadly poison."
After taking the pulse and examining the blood, the silver needle suddenly changed color, indicating not just poison, but a highly toxic substance...
Ning Wei pressed further, "Is there a solution?"
Even for the sake of his two sons, he would do his best to treat them.
After a moment of silence, the doctor replied, "Even if it can provide some relief, the toxins have already entered the lungs and are spreading throughout the limbs..."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to walk or move my limbs anymore..."
No wonder Ning Wei felt a strange yet familiar feeling when he saw Chen Yuhong's eyes moving...
Only then did he finally remember someone else.
His wife was silent.
Wasn't this exactly what she used to suffer from?
