Chapter 317 Is It Poisoned?
"Princess Jun, when Prince Jun got into trouble, the emperor issued a gag order at that time." Madam Mo said cautiously.
They all knew that Fu Zhaoning's parents were the most crucial figures in that incident. As for why Prince Jun agreed to marry Fu Zhaoning, those who knew some of the inside story actually had some not-so-good guesses. For example, did Prince Jun want the daughter to pay off the mother's debt and marry Fu Zhaoning back to torture her?
It is precisely because of this that, even though they heard that Fu Zhaoning’s medical skills were very good, they did not dare to go to him for medical treatment.
I didn't expect that Fu Zhaoning would take the initiative to bring up this matter.
Madam Mo observed Fu Zhaoning's expression and found that she was quite calm.
“Well, I know, but I am also a related person, right? Besides, Prince Jun and I don’t avoid this matter at home, so just make it clear, it’s okay.”
Fu Zhaoning knew their taboos.
"Yes, the old Lord Feng attended that palace banquet that year."
"Well, did she encounter anything strange at the palace banquet, or did she eat anything wrong?"
Now, since the old Lord's illness was only discovered after he returned from the palace banquet, Fu Zhaoning had to get to the bottom of it now.
"then.."
Old Fengjun had now calmed down. She looked at Fu Zhaoning with a confused look, recalling what happened that year.
"Are you Fu Lin's daughter?" She finally reacted at this time.
"yes."
"I met your mother then."
Fu Zhaoning had taken her pulse and was motioning for her to lie down, preparing to examine her entire body.
After hearing what Old Lord Feng said, she paused.
"I remember it because you look a bit like your mother. She was about your age back then, right? At that time, the young people were all looking at the flowers and the lake, having a great time. I went to a small pavilion and sat there for a while, waiting for the banquet to start."
Old Fengjun carefully recalled the situation at that time.
"Your mother was talking to a woman under some maple trees not far from the pavilion. I saw that she was very pretty and unfamiliar, so I looked at her a few more times. I thought she seemed to be wiping away tears."
This is a clue!
No one ever mentioned what happened back then.
"Did the old Lord hear what they said? Who is the woman who spoke to her?"
"I don't know her, but judging by her clothes, she should be a housekeeper who followed some lady into the palace. She looks to be in her thirties or forties. She looks like our second son's wife."
Everyone looked at a middle-aged woman.
Is that Madam Mo Er?
Fu Zhaoning looked at her and saw that she had willow-shaped eyebrows, peach blossom eyes, an oval face, and a plump figure.
"Yes, she looked like that," said the old man. "I don't know who she was from, and I never saw her again."
"Can you tell me roughly what color clothes she was wearing at the time?"
"A lake green bodice and a light green skirt. I remember this because I was wearing the same color at the time." Old Feng Jun took a deep breath and paused.
Although Fu Zhaoning was asking questions and listening, his hands did not stop and he gave her a full body examination.
She also silently memorized the woman's clothing and appearance. This person was a key figure and she must be investigated.
"Then the woman left. Your mother wiped her tears and walked towards the pavilion. When she saw me there, she bowed to me."
"Did Old Lord Feng talk to her?" Fu Zhaoning asked.
"She said a few words. I didn't know who she was at the time, so I asked her where she was from and if she had any difficulties. She said her husband's surname was Fu and that she followed her husband into the palace, and then she left in a hurry."
Having said this, Old Fengjun stopped and took a rest.
Fu Zhaoning checked her eyes and tongue, then helped her sit up, "Old Lord Feng, I want to part your hair and take a look at your scalp."
The old Lord nodded.
"I need to think about it. I seem to have forgotten something."
Fu Zhaoning checked her hair.
Madam Mo and the others didn't dare to say anything more at this moment.
"Oh, right," Old Lord Feng continued, "At that time I felt that your mother had a fragrance on her body. I couldn't tell what it was, but it didn't smell very good."
Fu Zhaoning paused.
"Not some nice smelling incense?"
"That's right," the old Lord Feng shook his head. "It smells bad. I was wondering at the time, what does this Fu family woman smell like? She doesn't have to be so particular when she enters the palace. If she meets some noble who doesn't like the smell, it will cause trouble."
She felt a little exhausted when she said this.
Fu Zhaoning looked at her expression and said, "Thank you, Mr. Feng, for telling me all this. Now you lie down and rest for a while. I'll give you acupuncture and write you a few prescriptions later. I'll tell my wife and the others how to use the medicine. Don't worry. Although I can't explain your illness to you clearly now, it can be cured."
"real?"
"Princess Jun, can you really cure it?"
"ah?"
All the female members of the Mo family present were extremely surprised.
Fu Zhaoning was the first one to tell them that this disease can be cured!
She said she didn’t know why, but they just found it credible!
Old Fengjun was also stunned, "My daughter, do you think my illness can be cured?"
“It can be cured.”
Fu Zhaoning had rolled up his sleeves. "Close your eyes and go to sleep. I'm going to give you acupuncture first."
"Well, that's great. Thank you for troubling me." Old Fengjun was already very tired. She didn't expect Fu Zhaoning to press on her like this. Her body calmed down and she felt sleepy.
She fell asleep right after she said this, and even snored.
All the women in the Mo family were shocked.
They had never seen Old Lady Feng fall asleep so easily, nor had they ever seen her sleep so soundly.
"Ladies, I'm going to give you acupuncture. You don't have to stay here."
Madam Mo immediately came to her senses and asked them all to leave.
She stayed on her own.
Watching Fu Zhaoning's acupuncture treatment, she was truly impressed.
It was two hours later when Fu Zhaoning came out of the Mo family.
The sun has already set and it's getting dark early now.
The Mo family saw her off to the gate and were even a little reluctant to leave, because Fu Zhaoning also performed gynecological examinations on several of the ladies and was able to cure some of the diseases that had troubled them for years.
"Princess Jun, you can come to the mansion for tea when you are free. We are looking forward to seeing you at any time."
"Princess Jun, these are our gifts, you must accept them."
Many gift boxes were stuffed into the carriage. Before Fu Zhaoning could say anything, Lu Tong collected them for her. "Brother Ning, just accept them. They will definitely feel bad if you don't! Don't refuse, don't refuse. You have to charge more for the consultation fee. My aunts and uncles all have money!"
Lu Tong also helped pile the gift boxes onto the carriage.
Fu Zhaoning had no choice but to accept it.
On the way back, Lu Tong straightened his face and asked seriously, "Brother Ning, is Old Lord Feng poisoned?"
