Chapter 307 Prepare for the Afterlife
Song Yu flipped through it casually.
Song Mingen told her what happened that night again.
"...Song Mingzhu's poison took effect the next day."
Song Yu frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong. "Uncle Bai's medical skills should have been enough to control the disease for a few days. Song Mingzhu shouldn't have had a relapse so quickly. Is there something wrong, or is Yang Xu not dead?"
"Old Bai diagnosed him as dead, and Wen Can confirmed it repeatedly. When the brothers went to bury him, Yang Xu's body was covered in corpse spots, and he couldn't survive. Old Bai said that Song Mingzhu's heart pulse was unstable that night and could have relapsed at any time. If Yang Xu was still alive, Song Mingzhu would have died by now."
"Song Mingzhu is being kept at home now, and hasn't she had her fifth attack yet?"
Song Mingen nodded.
Song Yu felt that he might have overthought it. "Have you found someone who can cure the poison?"
"It will be soon. There should be news in the next two days."
"You two, father and daughter, stop chatting and come out for dinner."
As soon as Song Yu stood up, the little ice cream in the bag woke up, popped out its little head, and looked at Song Mingen, whose face was flushed.
"Sister Yu, where did this little cutie come from?" Song Mingen reached out to touch the popsicle.
The little ice cream meowed and shrank back into the bag.
"The apology gift Princess Qingyang gave me was Snowball's cub, named Little Snow Cake."
"Master and Madam, the ice cream is..." Bai Lan was met with Song Yu's death stare as she spoke, and she quickly changed her words, "It's the young lady's favorite. We even have a rabbit at home."
"Daddy and Mommy, let's go have dinner. Little Ice Cream is hungry too."
The family of three went out, and Bai Lan breathed a sigh of relief.
If she really said that it was given by Prince Mu, the young lady would definitely give her a good beating!
At the same time, Chen Chunhua fed Song Mingzhu.
When Song Minglang learned about this, he rushed over in the afternoon and stayed in the room for the whole afternoon. He felt very distressed when he saw Song Mingzhu's sickly appearance.
"Sister, if you had told us at the last family dinner and sent the people from Suzaku Pavilion to capture him in advance, you wouldn't have suffered so much."
Song Mingzhu: "The reason I searched for people in advance is because of the situation today. Don't worry, I will be fine."
Song Minglang looked at Wu Han, "Where are the people from Suzaku Pavilion? I have a thousand taels here for them to use to intensify their search."
"Uncle, that miracle doctor is from Suzaku Pavilion."
Song Minglang went to the front yard and looked at the black Rakshasa mask on Bai Luoheng's face. He suppressed his fear and took out a thousand taels and stuffed it into his hand. "I'll give you another thousand taels, and ask your people to increase their efforts to find her. I beg you, please, my sister can't be in any danger."
Bai Luoheng stuffed the banknote back into his hand and said, "Don't worry, we've stepped up our efforts to find her, and we'll have news soon. Just be patient and wait. Your sister won't be poisoned for the time being."
Two days later, Bai Luoheng brought three men of different ages to the Song Mansion.
The three men did not dare to take action against the muscle-loosening Gu in Song Mingzhu easily. They were not sure what special ingredients the person who poisoned her had added.
If the poison is forcibly removed, Song Mingzhu might die immediately.
"Ma'am, I'm sorry, there's nothing we can do."
The three of them turned around and were about to leave.
Chen Chunhua hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Think of something else. You must have a way to remove the poison from my daughter."
The oldest man said, "Madam, my surname is Cui. My family has been practicing medicine for generations, and I'm familiar with poisons. Your daughter isn't infected with a common muscle-dispersing poison; there are other, less certain, ingredients in it. We can forcefully remove the poison, but we're not completely certain your daughter's life will be saved. If you insist on having us remove the poison, we won't be responsible for the consequences. Madam, would you consider taking a gamble?"
Chen Chunhua had to think seriously. If she lost the bet, she would lose Zhuzhu, and she would have to see her son die before her.
She had already lost Ming'en and couldn't lose her daughter again.
Chen Chunhua raised her eyes and looked at Song Minglang.
"Mom, I support whatever decision you make, but my sister can't afford to take risks right now. We must ensure her safety."
"Mom, Minglang, you don't have to think about it, I'll take the bet." Song Mingzhu felt that she would die whether the poison was removed or not, so it would be better to remove it directly instead of worrying about it happening at any time.
"No, Zhuzhu, they are not completely sure."
Song Mingzhu said, "Mother, I have made up my mind. If I solve it, I have half a chance of success. If I don't, I will surely die."
Song Mingzhu looked at Doctor Cui and asked, "If the poison is removed, does that mean there's a 50% chance of survival?"
Doctor Cui glanced at the other two and said, "Not sure, but it's possible. Madam, please think carefully."
"A miracle doctor." Chen Chunhua said to Bai Luoheng, "Are they the only three? Is there anyone else who can remove the poison?"
Bai Luoheng: "Our people are still searching for him. We will try to find as many people as possible to solve the problem..."
Before he could finish his words, Song Mingzhu spat out a mouthful of blood, and the poison took effect again.
"Ah! Zhuzhu..."
Doctor Cui, Bai Luoheng and others rushed forward to provide rescue.
"Minglang, what should we do? Is your sister going to be in trouble?" Chen Chunhua paced back and forth in the room anxiously.
"Don't worry, mom. The four of them will definitely keep my sister safe." Song Minglang was also unsure. His sister looked so miserable from the poison.
After half an incense stick of time, Song Mingzhu calmed down.
"My dear doctors, is my daughter okay? Has the poison been removed?"
Doctor Cui sighed helplessly, "Your daughter's poison has resurfaced, and her heart meridians are severely damaged. We can no longer forcefully remove the poison. You should prepare for her funeral."
"What? How is this possible?" Chen Chunhua couldn't accept this result and knelt down crying. "Please save my daughter. You must have a way!"
"Old Madam," Doctor Cui said as he helped the woman up. "Don't be like this. We could have tried to remove the poison before it took effect, but now it's really too late. We really can't do anything. But don't worry, the people who are coming later might have a solution."
Doctor Cui comforted Chen Chunhua and left the Song Mansion with the other two.
In the distance, a thin man with patched clothes, a dirty face and a black figure looked at the three people leaving with frustrated expressions. His expression relaxed and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
A man quickly helped him up and onto an inconspicuous carriage in the alley. "Master, don't worry. Song Mingzhu will definitely die. The mind is the most exhausting. If you use your mind to control the poison again, your body will collapse. I don't know if they will find you."
"No, they won't find out."
He was holding on to his last breath, and would rather risk being discovered than let Song Mingzhu survive.
She must pay with her life for her sister!
"Master, you must listen to my advice and not come here again. If you fall, Song Yu will really marry into the Prince Rong's mansion."
Yang Xu said weakly: "Okay, I understand."
Bai Luoheng was sure that Song Mingzhu was not in danger for the time being, so he made an excuse to go back to Taohua Lane, changed his clothes, and returned to Jiang Mansion.
"Brother, Song Mingzhu's poison has resurfaced. This time... this time..."
Song Mingen tightened the teacup in his hand and glanced at the figure at the door. "Just tell me the truth."
"We can't remove the poison anymore. She won't live for many days. Now that the young lady has taken action, there may be a glimmer of hope."
The figure at the door left and returned to his room.
Caiwei looked at her expression and asked tentatively, "Madam, do you want Miss to rescue her?"
Jiang Yunwan said, "That's a Gu poison. Sister Yu hasn't studied Gu poisons, which are harmful to people. Sister Yu definitely doesn't know how to cure it and is helpless. Lao Bai rushed here, which means her condition is very serious and no one can save her."
Song Mingen returned to his room, said nothing, walked to the bedside desk, sat down, and continued to review.
Jiang Yunwan raised her eyes and glanced at him. Seeing that he didn't say anything, she also kept silent and picked up the gold thread to continue embroidering the handkerchief.
After school, Song Yu returned to the Du Mansion and Ah Qi was waiting for him in the yard.
Song Yu: "Has Song Mingzhu's poison been cured?"
"No, Song Mingzhu's poison has resurfaced and cannot be cured. She won't live for many days."
"I understand. Go back and watch after dinner."
"yes!"
Song Yu returned to the study and reviewed the lessons he had learned today. Half an incense stick later, he went to the pharmacy and then went to the herb field to pick some herbs to make cosmetic beauty powder.
When Bai Lan saw this, she realized that she had been overthinking.
How could the lady possibly go to save Song Mingzhu?
