Chapter 68 Are you familiar with Prince Jing?



He Hua followed Luo Xuening's instructions and did not go to call a doctor herself. Instead, she went to the outer courtyard. There were many maids in the outer courtyard who were responsible for taking care of Aunt Ye. However, because Aunt Ye was intellectually immature, even the people who were responsible for serving Aunt Ye gradually became alienated from her.

He Hua looked at these maids coldly. At this moment, they were either pacing in the garden or simply hiding in their own rooms, not even showing up. How could such maids take care of Aunt Ye?

He Hua remembered very clearly that when Madam Ye fainted in her own courtyard, the maids who usually waited in the outer courtyard were nowhere to be seen. If the young lady had not arrived in time, who knows what dangerous things would have happened. He Hua thought that she would clear out the maids sent from other courtyards sooner or later.

He Hua approached one of the maids. This maid was assigned from the old lady's courtyard. On that day, it was this maid who invited the doctor. Since the old doctor had problems, this maid probably didn't trust him.

"You, go get a doctor for Auntie. Remember, you want the same doctor you used last time."

He Hua gave the instructions, and the maid Xiaolu nodded, then walked out of the door in small steps. He Hua looked at the maid's back leisurely. She wanted to see how the young lady would deal with these two people.

In less than half an hour, the maid named Xiaolu invited the gray-haired doctor in again.

Luo Xuening was guarding Aunt Ye's bed at that time. When she saw the old doctor coming, she narrowed her eyes slightly, nodded and smiled at the old doctor, but that smile did not reach her eyes.

"Doctor, why hasn't my aunt's condition improved?"

Luo Xuening looked at the old doctor. Although his eyes were cold, they inexplicably frightened the doctor. He concealed the panic in his eyes, walked forward steadily, and took Aunt Ye's pulse.

"Fourth Miss, Madam Ye's pulse is stable. She just needs to rest for a few more days. You don't have to worry too much."

"Doctor, do you think that we don't know anything about medicine and you can fool us?"

Hearing such deliberate words to cover up the illness again, Luo Xuening's eyes suddenly turned cold, and she shot a sharp gaze at the old doctor. The old doctor couldn't help but lower his eyes, and he clearly felt guilty in his heart, but he spoke angrily.

"Miss Four, what do you mean by that?"

"What does it mean that the doctor deliberately concealed Aunt Ye's illness from me?"

Luo Xuening retorted. The doctor's expression just now was angry, but the panic in his eyes could not be hidden. She could conclude that there was really something wrong with this doctor.

"Since Miss Four doesn't trust me, then please seek help from someone else."

The old doctor shook his hands angrily, and his gray beard blew slightly because of his angry gritting of teeth. However, when he said the four words "seek help from someone better", his stiff body visibly relaxed.

It's obvious that this fourth young lady is not easy to deal with. The old doctor really hopes that she will find someone else and then run away.

"Your medical skills are not good enough, and you misdiagnosed the patient, yet you dare to ask me to find another doctor? I will arrest you, Officer Song, now. Someone, take this man away from me."

As Luo Xuening finished speaking, a servant came forward, grabbed the old doctor, and dragged him out the door.

"Let me go."

The old doctor is considered a very prestigious doctor in the local area. He has always treated patients for powerful families. Although, in the Nanshao Kingdom, the status of doctors is low, doctors with medical skills are still respected. The old doctor is also a bit arrogant, and he shouted at Luo Xuening.

"Miss Luo, why did you arrest me? I was hired by you to treat Madam Ye. If you want to arrest me, you must have a reason."

"The reason is simple. You were clearly capable of making a judgment, but you deliberately delayed the patient's condition. We, the Prime Minister's Office, naturally have the right to hold you accountable."

One has to admit that power is good sometimes. It is really easy for the people in the Prime Minister's Office to hold a doctor accountable.

The old doctor didn't dare to discuss legal principles with Luo Xuening anymore. No matter which one, he was at a disadvantage. He gritted his teeth and said, "But, Miss Luo, you can't prove that I delayed the treatment of your concubine."

"Really? Then please ask Doctor Yu to come and take a look. Is it you who delayed the treatment or is it Doctor Yu who misdiagnosed?"

Just when the maid went to invite Xiaolu, Luo Xue Ning also begged Prime Minister Luo to invite a royal physician for Aunt Ye. Fortunately, Prime Minister Luo was deeply in love with Aunt Ye, so he spared no expense to invite an imperial physician. Otherwise, with Aunt Ye's condition, if she continued to be delayed by the quack doctor, it would be hard to say how dangerous it would be.

The imperial physician arrived soon, and Prime Minister Luo was with him. After hearing what Luo Xue Ning had said, he glared at the old doctor fiercely when he came in. There was a huge difference between the imperial physician's diagnosis and the old doctor's results.

"Prime Minister, your concubine did not faint because of inhaling exhaust gas. She was unconscious because she was poisoned."

"What?"

Prime Minister Luo was shocked, but Luo Xue Ning frowned. She had not expected this result, but she was not surprised. The Second Aunt and Luo Yurou had always obeyed the First Madam's orders. She didn't believe that the First Madam didn't have any tricks involved. Even if the First Madam was under house arrest now, her tricks were enough to make Aunt Ye poisoned silently without her being traced back to her.

"Don't worry, Dad. Let's hear what the doctor says."

The imperial physician looked at Luo Xuening with admiration. He did not expect that such a young girl could be so calm at this moment.

"Prime Minister, Fourth Miss, the poison that Madam Ye injected was injected through the mouth and nose. This poison is called Bone-Eating Powder. This poison will gradually erode the five internal organs of a person. Although, on the surface, the poisoned person is no different from an ordinary person, after being poisoned, the patient will be unconscious. If not diagnosed and treated, the poisoned person will die in three months at the least and half a year at the most due to the disorder of the five internal organs."

When Prime Minister Luo heard this, his body shook involuntarily. The person who poisoned Madam Ye wanted to die.

"Doctor, please save her."

However, the imperial physician shook his head helplessly: "I'm sorry, Prime Minister, I can't cure this kind of poison."

"What?"

"This bone-eating powder originates from the Western Regions. It is highly toxic and its preparation method is extremely strange. Currently, there is no antidote, and I am powerless to do anything about it."

The imperial physician was not without regrets, because, in this world, no one who had been poisoned by the Bone-Eating Powder survived.

Prime Minister Luo's face immediately turned pale, and his white lips trembled. He never imagined that these people were so crazy that they even used poison from Tibet in order to kill Aunt Ye.

"Doctor, is there really no other way?"

Prime Minister Luo held on to the last glimmer of hope and looked up to the imperial physician for advice. In his old eyes, there was an undisguised sense of loss.

Although Luo Xuening didn't say anything, there were clearly tears in her eyes as she looked at the imperial physician with hope.

"I heard that there is a great doctor in Prince Jing's mansion who is proficient in both medicine and poison. Maybe he can cure this poison."

Prime Minister Luo and Luo Xuening looked at each other in bewilderment. This miraculous doctor was famous, but he had a quirky personality. Getting him to save people was harder than climbing to heaven.

"This miracle doctor is elusive. However, if Prime Minister Luo is interested, he might as well go to Prince Jing's Mansion. I heard that the miracle doctor Sai is in Prince Jing's Mansion now."

After the imperial physician finished speaking, he took his medical box and left. He only provided the information he knew to Prime Minister Luo. As for whether Prime Minister Luo was willing to go to Prince Jing's Mansion to ask for help for a concubine, that was their business.

Be it Dr. Sai or Prince Jing, these two are people that ordinary people cannot afford to offend.

At this time, Prime Minister Luo's face had completely lost color and he sighed deeply. It was hard to say whether he could invite Dr. Sai. Even if he did, he didn't know whether Dr. Sai could cure the poison from the Western Regions.

"Dad, how about your daughter give it a try?"

Luo Xue Ning only remembered that Prince Jing had promised her one thing before. If she could use this condition to convince Prince Jing and let Dr. Sai save people, maybe there would be a chance for Madam Ye to turn things around.

Although, Aunt Ye is not Luo Xue Ning's biological mother, but since she has occupied Luo Xue Ning's identity, she naturally has to do what Luo Xue Ning should do.

Prime Minister Luo has been in a daze ever since he heard this. As he listened to Luo Xue Ning's words, a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes.

"What did you say? You can cure diseases. Why don't you go see your aunt?"

"......" Luo Xue Ning was suddenly speechless. This Prime Minister Luo must have become confused due to being anxious. How could she cure a poison that even the imperial physician could not cure?

"I mean, I can ask Prince Jing for help."
