"Greetings, Princess."
As soon as the carriage arrived at the An Mansion, An Wanqiu, who had been waiting at the gatehouse, stepped forward and saluted.
Seeing the anxiety in her eyes, Jiang Li took her hand and said soothingly, "No need to be polite. Let's go in and talk."
After all, it was a carriage from the palace, and it would inevitably attract attention from passers-by coming and going.
As soon as they entered the An Mansion, Jiang Li saw that An Wanqiu's eyes turned red instantly.
"Princess, what should I do? I feel like he's dying..."
In my impression, An Wanqiu has always been a woman like an older sister, especially since she is the only legitimate daughter of the An family. It can be said that all the family property of the An family will be handed over to her in the future.
This was the first time Jiang Li saw her eyes red.
"Don't cry, don't cry." Jiang Li was most afraid of seeing a beautiful woman cry, so he quickly took out a handkerchief to help wipe her tears. "I'm here, everything will be fine."
Knowing that she had lost her composure, An Wanqiu looked ashamed, but every time she thought of Bai Mo covered in blood, she couldn't help it.
"Princess, I...it's all my fault..."
At this point, Jiang Li realized that Bai Mo's injury this time was actually related to An Wanqiu.
"Yesterday, I was walking past Yinxianglou with my maid, and I happened to see Bai Mo there. Thinking of how he had targeted you before, I got carried away and went to cause trouble for Bai Mo..."
An Wanqiu spoke softer and softer, and then she started crying.
While comforting her, Jiang Li looked at the maidservant following An Wanqiu, "Xiao Tao, tell me what's going on."
"To answer your question, Princess, yesterday I accompanied the young lady to look at the shop. When we passed by Yinxianglou, the young lady suddenly rushed in. I was unable to stop her, and by the time I caught up with her, she had already slammed Mr. Bai's table."
"Miss, you said... Isn't Mr. Bai the princess's medicine boy now? Why didn't he go to help the princess? Could it be that he can't afford to lose?"
As expected of a maid who had always served An Wanqiu, her imitation was very lifelike.
Jiang Li could even imagine An Wanqiu's expression and tone at that time.
"And then? How did you get hurt?"
Xiao Tao's cheeks flushed. "At first, Mr. Bai ignored the young lady, and the young lady was very angry. She snatched the wine glass while Mr. Bai was pouring the wine, and teased him, saying that he was really rich and could drink such good wine.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Bai immediately snatched the wine glass back. The young lady was furious and asked Mr. Bai if he looked down on her. She also said that she was not here to drink for free. Then she took the purse filled with silver from the servant and threw it at Mr. Bai, saying that the wine was hers.
"But when the young lady went to grab the wine glass, Mr. Bai said the wine was poisoned. The young lady subconsciously yelled, 'Mr. Bai, if you don't want me to drink your wine, just say it's poisonous!' Do you dare to make up a more decent story?"
"As soon as the young lady finished speaking, several big men rushed out from nowhere and rushed directly towards us. Mr. Bai blocked the young lady behind him and was injured after a few exchanges of moves with those men. At the critical moment, Mr. Bai sprinkled something on those men, and we took advantage of the chaos to escape."
An Wanqiu's face was filled with regret. "It's all my fault. I knew someone was looking for trouble with my father recently, but I still showed off so much. That group of people must have wanted to kidnap me to threaten my father. Bai Mo was implicated because of me."
As they walked and talked, they came to An Wanqiu's boudoir.
"But why did you bring him back directly?" Jiang Li was a little puzzled. After all, An Wanqiu was an unmarried woman. Bai Mo was injured and sent to the clinic. It was somewhat inappropriate to bring him back to her own house.
An Wanqiu grabbed Jiang Li's sleeve and said, "He was stabbed while protecting me, and then he fainted while trying to escape. I wanted to bring him back to the doctor for treatment before sending him away."
"But..." At this point, An Wanqiu's tears began to flow again, "But the court doctor said that he was poisoned and he wouldn't live for more than three days. And the poison was something he had never heard of before and there was no way to cure it. I really don't know what to do..."
"I see," Jiang Li patted An Wanqiu's back. "I'll go take a look. Don't cry for now. Xiaotao, go make some jujube and ginger water for your young lady. She looks so pale. I'm really afraid you'll collapse soon."
"yes."
When Jiang Li saw Bai Mo, she was also shocked.
His face turned pale and his breathing became weaker and weaker. What kind of poison had he been poisoned by that was so strong?
As soon as it touched Bai Mo's wrist, the system started to become active again. Things popped out of the medicine box. When Jiang Li used her consciousness to take a look, she found that they were all rare and good detoxification materials. Some of them were also seen in her master's only copy. It seemed that the person who poisoned him was not a simple person.
"Princess, how is he...?"
Seeing Jiang Li start to wipe his hands with a handkerchief, An Wanqiu hurried forward to ask.
"Don't worry, you won't die." Jiang Li raised an eyebrow at An Wanqiu. "I didn't expect that Bai Mo would be such a hero and save the damsel in distress. It really makes me look at him with new eyes."
"Princess..." An Wanqiu blushed, "This time, I was impulsive."
"Okay, go wait outside for a while. It's best to go eat something. I guess you haven't eaten since last night. Sister Wanqiu, be obedient. I'll help him detoxify."
Hearing Jiang Li's relaxed voice, An Wanqiu breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I'll wait for you outside."
After saying that, he added, "I'll wait for you to have dinner together."

When Jiang Li came out of the room, it was already dark.
Bai Zhi had been with Jiang Li for so long that she already had some experience, so she quickly brought over the tea that had been cooled in advance.
