When Long Xiaomin came in front of Luo Lan, she felt a little uncomfortably holding the handkerchief in her hand, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Luo Lan pointed to the chair opposite and said, "Ms. Long, please sit down and talk."
Long Xiaomin looked up at her, then took two slow steps, sat down on the chair somewhat stiffly, and said softly:
"Princess Yu, the poisoning incident really has nothing to do with me."
"I know."
Luo Lan nodded directly, believing her words, "Although you are a little naughty, you are not enough to hurt others. So tell me, what do you want from me?"
Long Xiaomin tightened her lips and said nervously:
"I heard... I heard that you are an amazing doctor. I want you to treat my mother. She has been ill for many years. I really hope she can stand up again."
Listening to Long Xiaomin's words, Luo Lan suddenly felt a pang of sadness in her heart. This girl, who had always been domineering and willful, would actually think of her mother.
Luo Lan shook his head helplessly, raised the handkerchief in his hand, wiped the corner of his mouth, and said softly:
"I went to see your mother, and she didn't seem to want me to diagnose her, so it's useless for you to beg me. I can't do anything."
Long Xiaomin couldn't wait to say:
"I'll go talk to my mother, she'll definitely agree. To be honest, I've asked every doctor in Quancheng to treat her over the years, but no one has been able to figure out the cause of her illness. So, I wanted you to go and see her. Don't worry, I've already convinced her, and she's agreed to let you treat her."
Seeing that Long Xiaomin spoke so sincerely, and her expectant eyes, Luo Lan suddenly couldn't bear to refuse her.
"Okay, I'll go check it out later."
"Can you go now? I know you'll be leaving here after the martial arts tournament. I want you to help her as soon as possible. If there's hope, I can give her two more days to heal her."
Seeing Luo Lan hesitating, she suddenly stood up, bent down to salute her, and said:
"I know I was very rude during your stay at the villa. I said a lot of things I shouldn't have said and did a lot of things I shouldn't have done, but I ask you to forgive my recklessness. I apologize. I'm sorry. Please, for the sake of my mother's illness, go and help her take her pulse. Regardless of whether you can cure her or not, I want you to try."
Luo Lan looked solemnly at Long Xiaomin in front of him. This spoiled young lady used to be so arrogant and unconcerned about anything. But when she heard that he knew medical skills, she was willing to apologize to him for the sake of her mother. It seemed that she really came here with sincerity.
So she nodded and said:
"Okay, go now."
Seeing that she agreed, Long Xiaomin immediately nodded with joy, "Thank you, I'll take you there."
As she spoke, she led the way, and Luo Lan followed closely behind with Acai and Ahong.
It was still the same quiet courtyard. As soon as they entered the main gate of the courtyard, Hu Xing came out to greet them.
"My lady, Princess, how come you have time to come here?"
Long Xiaomin glared at her with a look of disdain and said coldly:
"I'm here to see my mother. Let everyone go down."
Hu Xing frowned and glanced at her, then bowed and said:
"I understand."
Long Xiaomin glared at her and continued walking inside.
Walking through the hall and arriving at her bedroom, a fresh fragrance hits your nose, making you feel drowsy.
The last time she came, Luo Lan didn't pay much attention to the smell of incense in this house. Ever since she discovered that the reason for the infertility of those women was the incense, she began to pay attention to all the smells related to incense in this village.
The incense in this room has a faint scent of lotus. It seems that this is lotus incense, but the scent of lotus is mixed with another less obvious scent.
Long Xiaomin came to the bedside and whispered:
"Mother, I have invited Princess Yu. You promised me yesterday that you would ask her to diagnose you."
Madam Long suddenly shook her head vigorously, "Xiao Min, my mother's illness cannot be cured. Please don't bother Princess Yu."
"Mom, you promised me, let her take your pulse, okay?"
"Mom said that her illness can't be cured, so don't waste your time. Just get out."
"mother……"
"Stop talking and get out."
Mrs. Long's voice suddenly became sharp. Long Xiaomin was almost in tears, but it was of no use.
Seeing this, Luo Lan winked at Ah Hong and whispered to Long Xiaomin:
"Miss Long, since Mrs. Long is not willing to let me take her pulse, I will go back first."
Long Xiaomin looked at Luo Lan with tears in her eyes and nodded a little embarrassedly.
"I'm sorry, Princess. I'll try to persuade my mother again. Thank you for your help."
Luo Lan shook his head gently at her and chuckled softly:
"It's okay, just take good care of your mother."
After saying that, she took Ah Hong and Ah Cai and walked out of Mrs. Long's bedroom with her skirt lifted.
When the maid Hu Xing saw them coming out, she hurried over to greet them.
"Princess, can the lady's illness be cured?"
Luo Lan gave her a sharp look, and Hu Xing quickly lowered her head. Luo Lan raised the corner of her mouth slightly and shook her head.
"I don't know. I'll come back when my wife is in a good mood."
After saying this, she strode away.
After returning to the west wing, she couldn't wait to ask:
"Ahong, did you get it?"
Ah Hong took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and spread it out carefully, revealing some spice particles inside.
"Princess, look, these are the residues I picked up from the incense burner in the First Lady's room."
Luo Lan brought the handkerchief in front of him, half-closed his eyes and looked at it carefully.
She picked up a few pieces of fine powder and looked at them carefully...
"It's Bo Luohui."
Hearing her say this, Ah Cai and Ah Hong looked at her with puzzled eyes, "Princess, what is Bo Luohui?"
"It's a chronic poison. If you smell its fragrance or take it for a long time, it will cause you to become unconscious and weak."
Ah Cai opened her mouth in surprise, "This...these symptoms are the same as the eldest lady's."
Luo Lan nodded solemnly.
"Yes, so in that case, it is very likely that the Madam is bedridden due to the constant exposure to this kind of incense."
Ah Hong frowned and said doubtfully:
"We originally suspected she was the one who poisoned those women, and now she's been poisoned too. Who was it? Could it be that girl Hu Xing? What good would she gain by doing this?"
Luo Lan's nerves were tense, and he shook his head slowly.
"This matter is indeed very suspicious, but there are solutions. Go and call Long Xiaomin over."
Ah Hong asked in confusion:
"What do you want her to do? If she knew about this, wouldn't she scream it out? That would alert the enemy."
Luo Lan's mouth curled up into a perfect arc, and then he shook his head.
"Although she is willful and capricious, she is not stupid. She is a smart person and she knows what she should do."
After saying this, she frowned slightly, and the expression on her face was unfathomable.
