Jiang Segu, who had been settled in a private room, felt no false anxiety whatsoever!
She had already made up her mind.
With Song Yuhui's intelligence, she would naturally not allow herself to be framed, and would definitely find a doctor to treat her.
How can an ordinary doctor be more convincing than an imperial physician!
She also wanted to take the opportunity to have the imperial physician examine her pulse!
If the imperial physician can diagnose the poison in her body, they can conveniently pin the blame for the poisoning on the Song family.
Firstly, it would avoid alerting the enemy; secondly, the Song family would have to find doctors and medicine to detoxify her; thirdly, Song Yuhui's reputation for being beautiful and intelligent would be ruined; and fourthly, she didn't believe that the Song family wouldn't teach their unruly children a lesson after this incident!
This can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone!
Wonderful!
This was the first time in both lifetimes that Jiang Segu had ever been so proud and dignified in front of the Song family!
This feeling... is exhilarating!
Of course, if the imperial physician hadn't diagnosed the poison in her body, Song Yuhui's reputation for being a venomous snake would have been firmly established today!
She clenched her fists secretly, muttering to herself about Gu Songhan again.
Who exactly is this person?
And why help her like this?
Lost in thought, Gu Songhan led the military doctor, who had nearly lost his life, into the private room.
Inside the private room, besides Jiang Segu and his servant, several young ladies from the Song family were also present.
Seeing Gu Songhan lead the doctor in, Song Yuhui stepped forward gracefully.
He first bowed, then said softly, "Young Master Gu has a very fast pace, but I see that the doctor seems a little tired. Perhaps we should let the doctor rest for a while."
It just so happens that the imperial physician my younger brother went to fetch hasn't arrived yet. To be fair, we'll wait until the imperial physician arrives before treating Jiang's sixth sister as well!
Gu Songhan glanced at the glaring military doctor. He had already explained the situation clearly on the way, and the doctor was prepared.
But if they were to tamper with things in front of the imperial physician, would the military doctor be prepared?
The old military doctor was even angrier!
At his advanced age, he was not only carried under someone's arm and forced to follow them as they scrambled across rooftops for more than a quarter of an hour, but his medical skills were also questioned!
If it weren't for the fact that this kid said he would bring him some Zijinquan wine from the palace in a few days, he wouldn't have bothered to make this trip!
Oh dear, he's so old and frail, he's practically falling apart!
"The young girl is right. Let me rest for a while, lest I misdiagnose your pulse!"
However, no sooner had he finished speaking than a series of noisy footsteps came from outside the door.
"Second Sister, Physician Fu has arrived!"
The old military doctor felt a surge of satisfaction upon seeing the disheveled imperial physician, panting heavily and with his hair disheveled.
"In that case, let's quickly take Miss Jiang's pulse!"
After Gu Songhan finished speaking, he glanced at the old military doctor.
The veteran military doctor stepped forward to take her pulse.
At first, his face was expressionless, but as time passed, his brows grew increasingly furrowed...
"Are you even capable, old man? Taking your pulse for so long, are you just stalling for time, plotting something?"
Young Master Song dragged Physician Fu forward and yanked the old military doctor aside. "Physician Fu, please take a look. Is she faking fainting to frame my second sister?"
Gu Songhan stepped forward and, while supporting the old military doctor, glanced at him with a questioning and worried look.
The old military doctor just frowned and shook his head.
Physician Fu was indignant at the rudeness of the Third Young Master Song, but due to the prestige of Grand Tutor Song, he suppressed his anger and stroked his beard to take the pulse.
After a short while, he stopped.
"The young lady is perfectly fine..."
Before Physician Fu could finish speaking, Jiang Segu weakly opened her eyes and murmured in pain.
"It hurts, it hurts, my left hand hurts so much..."
Physician Fu looked at the hand resting against the bed, and his lips twitched.
This girl is probably not thinking straight. Usually, if someone is poisoned, you only need to check one side of their pulse.
Before he could utter a sound, the Fourth Miss Song shouted loudly, "I knew it would be like this! Jiang Segu, stop pretending! Let me tell you, even if you wear out the bed, my second sister didn't harm you!"
At this moment, Gu Songhan realized that the young girl had her own plans.
He bowed respectfully to Physician Fu and said, "I would be grateful if Physician Fu could examine Miss Jiang more carefully!"
He then said to Qiaolian, "Please help your young lady up so that Physician Fu can take her pulse."
"Hmph! Even if she had ten hands, she couldn't diagnose anything wrong! She's just faking it!" Fourth Miss Song stepped forward and said discontentedly, "Imperial Physician Fu, please take her pulse. Some people just won't shed a tear until they see the coffin!"
Qiaolian gently helped Jiang Segu up.
Jiang Segu took the opportunity to whisper two words in Qiaolian's ear.
Qiaolian stared wide-eyed, feeling deeply panicked about what was about to happen.
Physician Fu stepped forward to take Jiang Segu's pulse again.
However, before his hand could even touch Jiang Segu's left wrist, he saw an embroidery needle piercing through Jiang Segu's left palm, with only a small part of the needle handle protruding from his palm.
"This...this..."
In all his years of practicing medicine, he had witnessed the cruelty of women, but the sight of young women piercing their hands with embroidery needles during quarrels still chilled him to the bone, leaving him speechless for a moment!
Standing to the side, Juanniang cried out in alarm, "Miss, Miss, your hand..."
The sound was filled with grief and indignation, with a heart-wrenching pain...
The people who were eavesdropping at the door rushed to peek into the house.
Gu Songhan looked at Jiang Segu's hand, which was pierced with an embroidery needle, as if the needle had entered his bloodstream, causing his blood to surge!
"Miss Song, is there anything else you want to say?"
His voice was so deep it sent shivers down your spine.
"It wasn't me!"
