Chapter 198
Upon hearing the maid's call, Granny Luo rushed into the inner room without a second thought.
The old princess was seen with her eyes closed, her face ashen, and a trace of blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.
"What happened?" Granny Luo was shocked. She had only been gone for a short while.
How did the old princess get into trouble?
"This servant doesn't know either. I just suddenly saw the old princess spit out blood. No matter how I called to her, she didn't respond," the maid Xiuhong said, crying.
"I'll go find the royal physician." Granny Luo was extremely anxious, even afraid that others would be too slow.
He insisted on rushing out on his own.
"What's going on?" Seeing Granny Luo rushing out, Liu Ming didn't care about anything else and rushed into the inner room.
Then I saw the lifeless old queen.
"What's going on?" Li Tianyou saw Butler Liu go in and followed him in.
Seeing the old princess's appearance, he was also startled.
"Steward Liu, this servant doesn't know either. The old princess suddenly vomited blood, and Granny Luo went to find the royal physician herself!" Xiu Hong said to Liu Ming as he entered, her eyes red from crying.
"Old Princess?" Liu Ming was shocked. He didn't care about anything else and went to the bedside, calling her name a few times.
Unfortunately, the old princess kept her eyes closed and did not give any response.
"She looks like she's been poisoned?" Li Tianyou frowned, looking at the old princess whose face was getting paler and paler, and said uncertainly.
"What did the old princess eat today?" Liu Ming asked as he took out the poison pills that the prince had asked him to keep safe.
Xiuhong was quick-witted; seeing the pills Liu Ming took out, she quickly poured a glass of water and handed it to him.
"The old princess hasn't eaten anything today, just a few pastries that Miss Biao brought," Xiu Hong explained as she helped Liu Ming feed his medicine.
Upon hearing that the pastries were sent by Zheng Qiaoshu, Liu Ming frowned, but he didn't think that Zheng Qiaoshu would harm the old princess.
However, he simply couldn't explain how the old princess could have been poisoned out of the blue.
The old princess was unconscious at the time, so she couldn't get the medicine into her mouth, let alone swallow it.
"Butler Liu, what should we do? We can't feed him!" Xiuhong asked anxiously.
"Pull open the old princess's mouth," Li Tianyou said, frowning.
Otherwise, we wouldn't know what kind of poison it was.
If this antidote pill is given any later, it might be too late.
Upon hearing this, Liu Ming and Xiu Hong exchanged a glance, realizing that this was an offense to the old princess.
"What are you two still standing there for? The longer you delay, the more dangerous it will be for your old princess!" Li Tianyou said anxiously as he saw the two of them still hesitating.
Upon hearing this, Liu Ming immediately pried open the old princess's mouth and stuffed the medicine inside.
"Your Highness, please swallow it quickly," Xiuhong said anxiously.
"What are you doing?" Zheng Qiaoshu asked angrily as she watched Liu Ming and Xiu Hong seemingly stuffing something into the old princess's mouth.
Liu Ming frowned when he saw Zheng Qiaoshu.
I have a feeling that nothing good is coming from here.
"Miss, it seems the old princess has been poisoned. This old servant is giving her poison pills." Considering that this person was, after all, the old princess's niece, he explained.
