Su Wenyuan was startled and asked in surprise, "Could it be that he was angered to death?"
He summoned Hua Ling while simultaneously calling in the servant who had been following Su Yuan.
The servant, witnessing this, shouted, "Princess Consort Chen has killed someone! She killed her own father!"
Su Wenyuan frowned slightly, thinking that Su Yuan's words had come true. He had just said he was going to die, and he died right afterward. He was a man of his word.
It would truly be a shame to leave Su Wenyuan with the infamy of patricide.
What should we do? Should we really use those things to be buried with him? I feel a little reluctant.
Su Wenyuan was torn between keeping her promise and going back on her word. Those things were quite valuable, and it would be a pity to bury them with her, especially with Su Yuan.
It's such a pity that he passed away so peacefully, without suffering at all!
The guards restrained the servant and told him not to shout. Ye Shan quickly checked the man's pulse to confirm he wasn't dead, then looked up at Su Wenyuan and said, "Your Highness, he's not dead."
Su Wenyuan, who had been looking thoughtful, couldn't help but show a hint of disappointment upon hearing these words.
Her feelings for Su Yuan were complicated; she worried that he wouldn't die, but she also feared that he would die too easily.
Hua Ling came over and first examined the patient, then took out silver needles and asked, "Do you want it alive or dead?"
"Can I choose again?" Su Wenyuan asked, intrigued.
The servant struggled desperately, trying to give Su Yuan a way out.
Hua Ling laughed and said, "He just fainted suddenly due to a fit of anger. He won't die, but if you want him to die, I can kill him without anyone noticing."
This disease won't kill you, but you'll be unable to move and will be at the mercy of others.
Su Wenyuan pondered again, considering whether Hua Ling's suggestion was feasible.
Before they could come up with a solution, Sheng Jingyu entered and scolded in a low voice, "Stop fooling around! I have already sent someone to the Su residence to inform them of this news. Now, have someone take him to the clinic."
Su Wenyuan shrugged and said, "Alright, throw him in the carriage and have this servant take him to the clinic."
Hua Ling only came to take a look and had no intention of saving him at all.
The guards threw Su Yuan onto the carriage like trash, not caring about his posture, and then turned and left.
Before the servant could react, the gates of Prince Chen's mansion had already closed.
In the front hall, Hua Ling joked, "This isn't like you at all. Is killing someone really that troublesome?"
Sheng Jingyu smiled and said, "I don't believe you can get away with it without anyone noticing. If it gets found out, the princess will be implicated. Su Yuan froze to death in the Su residence because he was stupid, but if he is killed here, it would be premeditated murder."
Although Sheng Jingyu was not in the front hall earlier, he knew about what had happened there.
I've been keeping a close eye on what's happening here, just in case something unexpected happens.
Feeling slighted, Hua Ling retorted indignantly, "Why can't I? Have you forgotten who saved you back then?"
“Maybe you’re good at saving people, but not at harming them?” Sheng Jingyu said.
Hua Ling rolled up her sleeves, as if she was about to fight Sheng Jingyu.
Su Wenyuan quickly comforted him, saying, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, I believe in your medical skills."
She was the one who called Hua Ling a quack doctor back then, but Hua Ling had obviously forgotten that past and found some comfort in Su Wenyuan.
Sheng Jingyu sighed, "How can one make progress if they can't even hear the truth?"
Hua Ling, still unconvinced, said, "I should have just taken action without asking any questions, and then waited for you to admire me after it was all done."
"Then go now." Sheng Jingyu gestured for him to go.
Su Wenyuan pretended to break up the fight, saying, "You can't go. If you go now, you'll be captured alive. We won't even have time for a thorough investigation afterwards. Hey! Do you have any poison that leaves no trace? Have Ye Shan and the others poison you."
Hua Ling's eyes became complicated, and her lips moved with difficulty, but she still couldn't bring herself to say the word "no".
Sheng Jingyu laughed and said, "See, I told you you couldn't do it."
Hua Ling possesses a poison that is difficult to detect and has no antidote, but once she administers poison, it is very difficult to do so without leaving a trace.
Even though the Empress was so secretive and used a rare poison, Hua Ling still managed to discover it.
Therefore, Hua Ling dared not be careless, nor could she make any guarantees.
Su Wenyuan shook her head regretfully.
Hua Ling complained, "If you wanted to kill him, why didn't you say so just now? I just killed him with one needle, and I guarantee he would still be breathing when he left. No one could find out. That would be truly leaving no trace."
Su Wenyuan smiled slightly, her eyes conveying a clear message that she still did not trust him.
Sheng Jingyu continued to fan the flames, and Hua Ling was about to explode with anger.
"In that case, let's settle for second best. Is there any medicine that can make him seriously ill, half-dead, without leaving any trace?"
Hua Ling suddenly became excited and nodded, saying, "Yes, wait for me to get it."
After saying that, she ran out of the front hall. Ye Shan, who had watched the whole thing, sighed and shook her head. She had seen it all clearly from the side; Hua Ling had been tricked.
Sheng Jingyu was only after his medicine from the beginning.
Su Wenyuan suppressed a laugh and asked, "Do you know he has good stuff?"
If it weren't something good, Sheng Jingyu would have just asked for it directly; there was no need to beat around the bush.
Sheng Jingyu said, "Yes, last time you used a lot of medicine to keep Wang Shi alive, which made Hua Ling very distressed. This time, if you ask directly, he definitely won't give it to you."
The medicine used to save Wang's life used only the best medicinal materials and was extremely difficult to prepare.
Having learned her lesson last time, Hua Ling now keeps any good medicine she has secret, and if asked, she'll say she doesn't have any.
“If Su Yuan dies here, it will bring you trouble. In fact, it’s not worth it,” Sheng Jingyu said.
Su Wenyuan nodded and said, "I know, so I released you as you said."
She was deliberately cooperating with Sheng Jingyu, even though she didn't know what Sheng Jingyu was up to, she was sure that doing so would be the right thing to do.
When Hua Ling returned, she realized what had happened. Holding a bottle in her hand, she glared angrily at the two of them.
"You two are birds of a feather! Neither of you are good people. You're both wicked, you're just despicable..."
"Give it to me!" Su Wenyuan acted as if she hadn't heard him and snatched it away, her gentle tone completely gone from when she was comforting him.
Hua Ling rolled her eyes and said, "This is blatant robbery."
"What's the use of this?"
Hua Ling excitedly began explaining her masterpiece.
This is another medicine that can cure diseases. If a person has a cold that is difficult to cure, taking this medicine can make them recover more than halfway overnight.
However, it is important to avoid drafts, keep doors and windows closed, and ensure the indoor temperature is not too low.
This medicine is generally safe to use in the summer, but it should never be used in the winter, as the risk of complications is much higher.
Hua Ling's methods of healing have always been unorthodox. He seems to be accustomed to a roundabout approach to healing, and he is most skilled at using poison to fight poison.
Even a minor cold is treated with such extreme measures that one would want to fight poison with poison, and conventional methods are disregarded.
The advantage of doing this is that it's effective and the recovery is quick.
It also has a lot of drawbacks, so it's not something that ordinary people can use casually.
