Others might not know, but she knew very well that Su Ruojin's Gu poison had taken effect.
When she toasted Su Ruojin before, it was only to use the medicinal powder on the sachet to stimulate Su Ruojin's Gu poison to take effect sooner.
Now that Mo Han belongs to Bei Li, it would have been better to let Su Ruojin leave Bei Li before the poison takes effect.
But Lin Wanqing was unwilling. She had gone through so much trouble to come here, wasn't it all just to witness Su Ruojin's tragic death?
She couldn't bear to let such a good opportunity slip by.
Lin Wanqing entered the tent, where the old army doctor had already finished taking her pulse.
Xiao Yanchu hurriedly asked, "Medical officer, how is the princess?"
The old military doctor sighed, "Your Highness, the princess has been traveling a long way and has suffered a miscarriage. Now that she has lost so much blood, the baby in her womb may not survive."
Upon hearing the old military doctor's words, Xiao Yanchu swayed slightly.
No.
No way!
His child will be fine.
Xiao Yanchu grabbed the old military doctor, "Military doctor, you must save the princess and the child. I will reward you handsomely."
The old military doctor, of course, knew the gravity of the situation and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I will do my best. I will go and write a prescription right now."
"Huanqing, go and prepare the medicine," Xiao Yanchu ordered, her eyes red.
"Yes, Your Highness." Huanqing helped the old military doctor out to prescribe medicine for the princess.
Standing to the side, Lin Wanqing naturally heard what the old military doctor said. She saw Xiao Yanchu sit back down on the bedside, and the blood from Su Ruojin had already stained the edge of his robe.
Lin Wanqing quickly suppressed the excitement in her eyes and said with concern, "Your Highness, don't be too sad. The Princess and the child will be alright."
Xiao Yanchu seemed not to hear, remaining motionless, his eyes red as he looked at the semi-conscious Su Ruojin, muttering something under his breath.
Soon, Huanqing brought in the medicine and came in with the old military doctor. Xiao Yanchu got up and asked her to feed him the medicine.
Suddenly, Xiao Yanchu swayed and was about to fall to the ground.
"Your Highness!"
"Your Highness!"
Huanzhi and Hu Qing cried out in alarm, and Hu Qing grabbed Xiao Yanchu to support him.
Xiao Yanchu's eyes were tightly closed; he had clearly fainted.
To the average person, Xiao Yanchu's behavior was due to his concern for the princess.
Lin Wanqing knew that Xiao Yanchu's poison had taken effect.
"Quickly, help the Prince to rest," Lin Wanqing ordered.
Actually, without her saying anything, Hu Qing had already helped Xiao Yanchu out.
Seeing the dying Su Ruojin and the anxious old military doctor beside her, she instructed, "Military doctor, you must save the princess and the child in her womb, or I will hold you responsible." Then she turned and left the tent.
She had important things to do and would come back to admire Su Ruojin's miserable state later.
The old military doctor was sweating profusely with anxiety. He knew medicine, but he wasn't good at making a fortune.
He was good at treating wounded soldiers, but he was really no good at treating women who were clearly on the verge of miscarriage.
But he was already the most skilled doctor in the military, and at this point he dared not say that he was no good.
The old military doctor felt that his life was likely over that day.
Arriving at the tent where Xiao Yanchu was resting, Lin Wanqing went straight inside.
Another military doctor was already treating Xiao Yanchu inside.
Hu Qing asked anxiously, "Doctor, how is my lord?"
The military doctor frowned. The prince's pulse was strange. It seemed like he was poisoned, but it didn't. However, it did seem like he was ill from worry.
Upon hearing Hu Qing's question, he thought of the princess's condition and replied, "Your Excellency, the prince is ill from worrying about the princess and the child. I will prescribe a remedy to try."
"Thank you for your help, doctor. I will go with you."
Hu Qing followed the military doctor away, and Lin Wanqing spoke up, "Everyone out. No one is to come in without my permission."
The Northern Li guards, who were stationed in the tent, dared not disobey the Queen's order and immediately went out.
Only Lin Wanqing and Xiao Yanchu, who was lying on the bed, remained in the tent.
