Seeing the black spots on the man's body disappear, Ono Yuuki finally breathed a sigh of relief. "My lord, this man's poison has been neutralized. May we now detoxify the general and ease his suffering?"
A smile finally appeared on Tokugi Shingo's face. "Thank you for your hard work, Master Ono. I imagine you've been missing Ono Waka-kun a lot lately. I've had someone invite him here to ease your worries."
Upon hearing Tokuyoshi Shingo's words, Ono Yuuki's expression changed.
He knew very well how ruthless Tokugi Shingo was; he had only been away from home for a few days, so why bother inviting Ono Akutagawa?
What exactly does Deyi Xinwu want to do?!
A moment later, Ono Akuro arrived before the two and bowed to Tokuyoshi Shingo, saying, "Greetings, sir."
Shingo Tokugi smiled kindly, "Ono Waka-kun is handsome and has exceptional medical skills at such a young age. He has a very promising future."
Ono Akuro, not knowing why Tokugi Shingo would praise him, politely replied, "Thank you for the compliment, sir. I still have many areas to improve."
"Someone come here!" Tokugi Shingo suddenly called out.
A maid brought over a cup of Jade Dew Tea.
However, today's Gyokuro tea soup is not as clear as usual; the originally light green soup has turned reddish-brown.
“Ono Waka-kun, you must be tired from your long journey to the Shogunate. Please have some tea to relax.” Tokuyoshi Shingo gestured for Ono Akuro to have some tea.
Upon hearing this, Ono Yuuki looked at Tokuyoshi Shingo with a shocked expression, his whole body beginning to tremble uncontrollably.
Upon seeing the Gyokuro tea, Ono Yuuki knew that Tokuyoshi Shingo had poisoned it, risking his son's life!
Ono Akuro, being a doctor himself, naturally noticed at a glance that something was wrong with the Gyokuro tea in front of him.
Coupled with his father's terrified expression, how could he not guess that there was something fishy about this cup of tea?
But so what if there's something fishy going on?
The other party was a high-ranking official of the shogunate, who held the fate of the Ono clan in his hands. With a single word from the high-ranking official, the entire Ono clan could be wiped out.
He has no choice but to drink this tea!
It is precisely because he is so certain of this that Deyi Xinwu allows people to be so brazen as to directly serve a cup of poisoned tea.
Ono Akuro slowly raised his hand towards the cup of tea, when Ono Yuuki suddenly spoke up, "Wait!"
After saying that, Ono Yuuki kowtowed to Tokuyoshi Shingo, "My lord, may I drink this cup of tea on behalf of my son? My son's medical skills are no less than mine. With my guidance, he can also cure the general's illness."
Although the poison and antidote have been tested on the two people and there haven't been any major problems.
But Yuki Ono was also unwilling to let his son take that risk.
No matter what, it's still poison; in this world, anything can happen.
He knew that Tokugi Shingo's actions showed he was still worried about him.
If his son were to be poisoned in the same way, he would do everything in his power to save Deyi Kangren; otherwise, his son would only face certain death.
Tokugi Shingo chuckled, “Lord Ono, you still have to treat the general, how can you drink this tea?”
You need not worry. The general has been ill for many days, and his illness can be cured. With the head of the family taking care of you, Ono no Waka-kun will surely be fine.”
Ono Akuro also realized it, and his face showed some surprise.
Since the general was poisoned, although the shogunate was in charge of medicine, my father was often invited to the mansion to treat the general.
My father often studied the poisoning of the general in private, but he was always frustrated by not being able to find a solution.
"Father has already found a way to cure the poison that the shogun suffered from, after only a few days at the shogunate?"
Looking at the Gyokuro tea in front of him, Ono Akuro understood everything.
Clearly, Deyi Xinwu does not trust his father, and this is to take him hostage.
Before Yuuki Ono could say anything more, Akuro Ono spoke first: "Father, I believe in you." After saying that, he picked up his teacup and drank it all in one gulp.
