“Young Master…” Butler Qiu looked worried. Seeing his young master’s behavior, Butler Qiu understood that the child in front of him was most likely the person they were looking for.
But Madam Jiang is an outsider. If she finds out the young master's identity and it gets out, the Lu family will face utter destruction!
"Uncle Qiu, we're running out of time!"
Lu Junyuan dared to do this because he believed that Madam Jiang could save Dapu.
After all, they had consulted many doctors, but only this Mrs. Jiang could directly tell them what poison Dapu had been poisoned by.
The petals are falling and scattering!
Lu Junyuan himself had studied some herbs and poisons, but he had never heard of this poison before. He never expected that Madam Jiang could diagnose it just by taking his pulse.
Although he believed that the Sage of Medicine could also cure him, he only had five days. He didn't even know where the Sage of Medicine was, let alone how to find him.
"What about the master..."
Lu Junyuan fell silent. He could gamble; the worst that could happen was death.
But if they lose, the entire Lu family will be at stake—that's over a thousand lives.
Su Ruojin knew that Lu Junyuan had some concerns, so she wasn't in a hurry. "Young Master Lu, I didn't bring everything today, so there's nothing I can do. You can think about it and let me know your decision later."
Seeing that Lu Junyuan remained silent, Butler Qiu hurriedly stepped forward, "Young Master Jiang, Madam Jiang, this way please."
After escorting the two to the gate of the mansion, Steward Qiu bowed and said, "Please forgive us, Young Master Jiang and Madam Jiang. It is not that we are unwilling to trust you, but the matter is of great importance, so please keep it a secret."
"Please rest assured, Steward Qiu, we know what's important."
Refusing Steward Qiu's offer to send them off in a carriage, Su Ruojin and Xiao Yanchu walked slowly down the street.
"Ah Jin, is that right?"
Xiao Yanchu's question was brief, but Su Ruojin understood his meaning.
"The age matches. I've already marked it. We'll talk about it tonight."
"good."
Lu Junyuan's casual remark about being twelve years old alerted both Su Ruojin and Xiao Yanchu.
But there is only one child. Whether that child is Dapu or Yuan Hong, where is the other one?
If the two children were indeed hidden in the Prime Minister's residence, it's no wonder they've been searching for them in vain.
Anyway, we'll find out tonight.

Meanwhile, at Ningkang Palace.
"What did you say?!" The cup in Empress Wu's hand fell to the ground and shattered into several pieces.
The palace maid who came to report was startled by the Empress Dowager's words, but she still gritted her teeth and repeated, "The imperial physician said that Princess Yuening has bled too much and her life may be in danger."
Previously, the nanny from the princess's residence came to the palace to invite the imperial physician, saying that Princess Yuening was suffering from abdominal pain and bleeding.
Empress Dowager Wu assumed that Yuening was experiencing menstrual cramps and sent the imperial physician over, but she didn't pay much attention to it.
I never imagined it would be like this.
"Prepare the carriage for the Princess's residence!"
Upon arriving at the princess's residence and entering Yuening's room, Empress Dowager Wu immediately smelled a strong stench of blood.
Busy maids carried out plate after plate of bloody liquid.
Upon seeing the Empress Dowager arrive, everyone knelt down. Empress Dowager Wu walked directly to Yuening's side.
Princess Yuening on the bed had fallen into a coma, her lips pale and bloodless.
If it weren't for the imperial physician treating her, Empress Dowager Wu would have thought Yuening was dead.
"Imperial Physician Liu, what's wrong?" Empress Dowager Wu asked anxiously.
The kneeling physician, Liu, was covered in sweat and replied tremblingly, "Your Majesty, the princess is out of danger and will recover gradually with rest."
"Why is the princess like this?"
Imperial Physician Liu looked troubled. "Your Majesty, this..."
Granny Hui noticed that something was wrong with Physician Liu, and with great insight, she dismissed everyone in the room and closed the door.
