Only Zheng Qiaoshu stood by the bed with a dissatisfied expression.
He looked at the old princess on the bed with a complicated expression.
He cursed inwardly, "That old hag, did she not put enough poison in the pastry? Otherwise, why didn't she die immediately?"
After all, Prince An and Li Zhiwei haven't swallowed the poison yet, and I haven't gone to the warehouse.
I haven't done a single thing my master asked me to do.
Thinking of this, Zheng Qiaoshu's gaze toward the old princess turned somewhat sinister.
Xiuhong glanced at it by accident and was so frightened that she quickly pulled on Luo Mama's sleeve, thinking to herself, "This young lady is really too scary."
Granny Luo's eyes were fixed on the old princess and the royal physician on the bed; she had no mind to pay attention to anything else.
"Dr. Zhang, what exactly happened to the old princess?" After waiting for a long time without seeing Dr. Zhang speak, Granny Luo couldn't wait any longer and quickly asked.
Dr. Zhang reached out and examined the old princess's eyelids again.
Just as I was about to breathe a sigh of relief, I noticed that the old princess's mouth was covered in wounds.
"What did the old princess eat today?" Doctor Zhang asked, frowning.
Zheng Qiaoshu, who had been quite composed, looked nervously at the pastries on the table upon hearing this.
Upon discovering that there were two more pieces, she took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and quietly walked to the table, hiding the two pieces of pastry in her sleeve.
"The old princess didn't have much of an appetite today. She had a bowl of porridge and a few pieces of pastry this morning," said Granny Luo after thinking for a moment.
"Dr. Zhang, please tell me, what exactly is wrong with the old princess?" Since Dr. Zhang didn't explain the old princess's condition, Granny Luo felt her heart was in her throat.
"The old princess has been poisoned." The reason Doctor Zhang didn't say so earlier was simply because he couldn't immediately identify the type of poison, but its toxicity was extremely potent.
"What? How could the old princess be poisoned?" Granny Luo was shocked. She spent all her time with the old princess, and besides, the old princess hadn't eaten anything today.
"It was them! When I came in, I saw them feeding my aunt." Zheng Qiaoshu said angrily, pointing at Butler Liu and Li Tianyou.
“Miss, you can’t just say things like that. When we came in, the old princess was already unconscious. I gave her the antidote specially made by Doctor Zhang.” Liu Ming looked at Zheng Qiaoshu with a mocking expression. He didn’t believe that Doctor Zhang couldn’t tell that he had made the antidote.
"Yes, thankfully Steward Liu administered the antidote in time, otherwise the old princess's life would have been in danger," Doctor Zhang nodded and said.
But what about the old princess's lip injury?
Thinking of this, Doctor Zhang glanced at Butler Liu and thought to himself, "This old fellow is too reckless. Why is he being so rude when he's giving me medicine?"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Qiaoshu frowned, thinking to herself, "How lucky is that old woman? She actually got saved!"
That damned butler Liu, all he does is ruin my plans!
"Dr. Zhang, why hasn't the old princess woken up yet?" Upon hearing this, Granny Luo looked at the old princess who was still unconscious and asked worriedly.
"Although the old princess's poison has been cured, it was a very potent one. The old princess is old and can't withstand much of a torment. Alas!" Doctor Zhang sighed, wondering who could possibly have used such a cruel poison on the old princess.
"Investigate!" Granny Luo said angrily.
Xu Xiangren angrily returned to the courtyard where the Xu family rented a house.
Upon hearing the voice, Madam Niu quickly came out to greet him, smiling as she asked, "Master, has it been settled? Did Lord Li agree? When will he arrive?"
As she spoke, Ms. Niu looked around.
"Master, Master Li, why didn't he come back with you? Is he coming over later?" Madam Niu asked again when she didn't see Li Tianyou.
