A Cai's work The Emperor's Phoenix: The Godly Doctor and the Abandoned Concubine ... Volume 1 1821 The Black Hand, the Most Likely Person
Someone is doing something bad to Feng Jin?
Zuo An was stunned!
Xia Wan’s face turned pale!
Snow Wolf knelt down!
"Qingchen, what did you say? Isn't Feng Jin sick?" Zuo An was the first to come back to his senses. His statement was trembling and uneasy, and his lips were bleeding from being bitten.
"You heard it right. Someone is trying to harm Feng Jin." Feng Qingchen said word by word, clenching his fists and suppressing the anger in his heart: "Feng Jin is not suffering from acclimatization or weakness. Instead, someone has poisoned him."
Feng Qingchen was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.
Does the person who puts poison on such a young child have any conscience?
"Gu? You said Feng Jin was poisoned by a Gu. Is that why he became like this?" Zuo An's body swayed and he almost fell down.
"Yes, I still can't find out what kind of poison it is. I followed Doctor Guo and saw the symptoms of the young emperor and the emperor of Dongling being poisoned. I can be sure that the same person poisoned them, although the poison used was different." Feng Qingchen threw another heavy bullet.
"Did you get infected after arriving in Xiling?" Zuo An didn't understand Gu, he was more concerned about when Feng Jin got infected.
Feng Qingchen knew what Zuo An was thinking, and said something good for Princess Xiling: "Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. It won't do her any good if Feng Jin is poisoned by the Gu." This was also a disguised admission that Feng Jin was poisoned after arriving in Xiling.
Feng Jin is in the Feng Mansion, and with Feng Qingchen, a doctor with a relatively good reputation, no one would put a Gu on Feng Jin. After all, a Gu needs a growth period. If it is discovered before it grows, the person who put the Gu would be retaliated against.
"Whether it is beneficial or not, we will know only after we find out what kind of poison it is." In Zuo An's mind, Princess Xiling is already a representative of bad things. When Feng Jin has something wrong, his first reaction is to think of Princess Xiling.
Zuo An's words made sense, Feng Qingchen did not refute, and only said: "I am not good at removing poison. I will write a letter to Doctor Guo and tell him about Feng Jin's situation. Let's see whether he comes to Xiling or we take Feng Jin to Jiangnan."
"No need to write a letter, we will take Feng Jin to Jiangnan directly." Zuo'an takes Feng Jin's health as the top priority, but...
"No. We still don't know who put the poison in our body and what the other party's plan is. They brought people to Jiangnan with such fanfare. The person who secretly put the poison in our body must know that we already know it. When the time comes, he will threaten us with Feng Jin's body. Will we obey him or not?" Feng Qingchen looked at Zuo An and persuaded him.
"I was too impulsive." Zuo An clenched his fists and lowered his head.
Feng Qingchen sighed: "I know you are worried about Feng Jin, but don't be too nervous. The poison in Feng Jin's body is not fatal. The other party just wants to control Feng Jin. Feng Jin's life will not be in danger for the time being."
"Yeah." Zuo An responded, his tense nerves still not relaxing. Xia Wan didn't dare to speak, and waited until Zuo An left before kneeling in front of Feng Qingchen to plead guilty: "My servant failed in his duty, please punish me, young lady."
"They deserve to be punished." Feng Qingchen has always been very tactful and clear about rewards and punishments when it comes to his subordinates. Xia Wan and Chun Hui have an unshirkable responsibility for what happened.
"You guys really disappoint me. I handed Feng Jin over to you, but the other party put a curse on Feng Jin right under your noses. How did you protect Feng Jin?"
Chun Hui, Xia Wan and the four beautiful maids are not little servants who know nothing. They are proficient in all kinds of means of assassination and defense in the inner house. Logically, no one can succeed under their noses.
However, as soon as they arrived in Xiling, they were captured.
"Please forgive me, young lady. It's my fault that I'm not skilled enough. I won't dare to do it again." Xia Wan's face was pale. If anything happened to Feng Jin, even if she and Chun Hui had a hundred lives, it would not be enough to compensate.
Simply blaming others will not solve the problem. Besides, if he wants to punish someone, he has to go back to Dongling. Feng Qingchen asked the question that concerned him the most: "What happened to Feng Jin before he got sick? Who did he come into contact with? Tell me one by one."
"Yes." When Xia Wan heard this, he knew that this was an opportunity to make amends, and he quickly reported everything that happened on the way.
After Feng Jin fell ill, Xia Wan and Chun Hui listed all the suspicious people and objects.
"During this journey, Master Feng Jin was looked after by this servant and Chun Hui, and never by anyone else. All the expenses were prepared by ourselves. Princess Xiling prepared a few sets of clothes for the young master on the way, but Master Zuo An threw them away. Occasionally, she would bring some food over, but it all went into the mouth of the snow wolf, and Master Feng Jin was not allowed to touch it."
When Xia Wan said this, she secretly glanced at Feng Qingchen. Seeing that Feng Qingchen was not dissatisfied at all, she continued, "During this journey, we did not use Princess Xiling's things. Only two days before entering the city, we encountered an assassin in the inn. The assassin did not succeed, but the inn caught fire."
This was the only chance to take action. Xia Wan and Chun Hui also thought about it, but they didn't find anything suspicious. Xia Wan continued, "Master Feng Jin's clothes and the food we prepared were burned. We had no choice at the time, so we bought some clothes on the street as backup. It was not until we entered the city that Chun Hui and I made Master Feng Jin's clothes. The fabrics were all taken from our own shop, so there would be no problem."
So, the only problem is the clothes I bought on the street that day?
"Those clothes were soaked in boiling water and exposed to the sun before being worn by Young Master Feng Jin." Xia Wan explained in great detail. It was precisely because of this that she and Chun Hui couldn't figure out what went wrong.
"Where is food?" The poisonous insect has no host to parasitize, so it can die quickly. Exposure to the sun and soaking in boiling water are enough to kill the poisonous insect.
Xia Wan shook her head: "The food was prepared by me and Chun Hui. Master Feng Jin was not feeling well during those days and only ate rice soup and egg custard. We didn't finish it yet, so we gave the rest to Snow Wolf."
"If something happens to Feng Jin, Snow Wolf will definitely be in trouble as well. Does that mean there will be no problem with eating?" Feng Qingchen tapped the table lightly, very rhythmically, but his mind kept thinking about how the insect approached the host.
"Has Feng Jin ever been injured, fallen or scratched before?" Feng Qingchen thought about it for a long time and could only think of this possibility.
Xia Wan shook her head at first, then her eyes suddenly lit up, and she quickly said, "Yes. On the day I first arrived at the princess's mansion, the yard hadn't been cleaned up yet, and the eldest princess came to see Master Feng Jin and even hugged Master Feng Jin."
Xia Wan was afraid that Feng Qingchen would blame her, so she quickly explained, "Master Feng Jin called the princess "mother" at that time, so I and Chun Hui did not refuse. The princess held him for a long time and talked to Master Feng Jin. Master Feng Jin was very happy at that time. When she left... when she left, the princess's nails accidentally scratched Master Feng Jin's neck, and it bled. Master Feng Jin cried out in pain at that time. When Master Zuo An found out, he told me not to let the princess hold the young master in the future."
"Scratch? I just told her in Dongling that nails can easily scratch Feng Jin. Why did she keep her nails long to hug Feng Jin and hurt Feng Jin before leaving?" Feng Qingchen didn't want to make malicious assumptions. After all, she was Feng Jin's mother, but now she was the most suspicious.
"After that, when Feng Jin was sick or uncomfortable, did the princess come to see Feng Jin? Did she hug Feng Jin afterwards?"
Feng Qingchen's voice trembled slightly...
