Ayin broke free from He Gang's grip and knelt down in front of Gu Xin.
Her eyes were no longer blank; instead, they were clear and bright. She made a whimpering sound and nodded vigorously.
Gu Xin removed the gag from her mouth.
Ayin asked anxiously, "Really? Princess Xinxin, are you telling the truth? You really can tell I'm poisoned? You really can cure me?"
Gu Xin walked to her side, squatted down, and took her pulse.
Ah Yin understood what this was about, so she calmed down and waited quietly.
After touching both hands, Gu Xin stood up and said, "The poison in your body has accumulated over many years. Did you start taking poison every month when you were young?"
Ayin's eyes grew brighter and brighter as she nodded frantically, "Yes, that's right. Every month, someone comes to the Second Princess's residence to deliver medicine to me. It's poison, but also an antidote!"
Gu Xin nodded: "If you don't eat it, will you be poisoned, and if you eat it, will the poisoning worsen?"
Tears welled up in Ah Yin's eyes.
After all these years, Gu Xin is truly the first to see it, and she's so accurate about it.
She had secretly consulted a doctor, but the doctors in their southern region couldn't diagnose it at all.
Once, the second princess caught a cold, and she tried to make herself sick as well. She happened to do something that pleased the second princess, so the second princess's personal physician examined her that time, but found nothing wrong.
She dared not secretly put away her monthly pills and wait until the poison took effect to have the Second Princess summon a physician to examine her. She only had one life, and if the physician still couldn't find anything by then, and she hadn't had time to take the pills, then she would lose her life.
Therefore, she dared not take the risk.
She didn't dare to end her life, because she wasn't the only one in her life; there were others, and her family members were all under her control.
Ah Yin respectfully kowtowed three times to Gu Xin, three solid kowtows, until blood seeped from her forehead.
Everyone present was astonished.
No one could have imagined that Ah Yin, who was always silly and seemingly invisible, would be so serious about what she did. She didn't care even when she bumped her forehead and got a bump, and she even bled from the bump. This child is truly sincere.
Ayin said, "Princess Xinxin, I beg you to detoxify me. If possible, I want the antidote. Whatever you want to know, I will tell you everything and will not hide anything from you."
Gu Xin turned to Fatty Wang and said, "Go and have someone go back to the Gu family and ask Dongxue to bring over my set of silver needles."
Fatty Wang readily agreed.
Gu Xin then looked at A Yin, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Do you want to see my abilities, or do you want to cooperate and tell me the truth first?"
Ayin pursed her lips, then said without hesitation, "I believe in Princess Xinxin. Because in all these years, Princess Xinxin is the first person who has given me hope."
Gu Xin nodded: "Okay. I like your straightforwardness. Don't worry, although I can't guarantee I can prepare the antidote for you right away, I will at least clear some of the poison from your body later. Now let me ask you the first question. Since you need to take pills once a month, and someone delivers them to you every month, it's been about a month since you left Nanlin. That means there are people from the Grand Prince Consort's group in your Nanlin group, right?"
