Zhuang Zhicheng hurried to the Sun residence, but Physician Sun was not home; he had gone to give Yang Cui a follow-up examination. Zhuang Zhicheng then ran to the General's residence to ask for help.
"My young lady has suddenly fallen ill. I heard that Physician Sun is at our residence, so I have come to invite him."
Bao Lan knew Zhuang Zhicheng, so she knew which "Miss" Zhuang Zhicheng was referring to, and she also knew that Qiu Mingxuan was her wife's mortal enemy, and that people outside were saying that Qiu Mingxuan was the mastermind behind the assassination of her wife.
Therefore, Bao Lan didn't give Zhuang Zhicheng a friendly look and blocked him from entering the room.
Bao Lan's attitude was also bad, and her tone was very harsh: "Your young lady's health is important, but is my lady's health not important? This person was invited by our household first, there is always a first-come, first-served order, if you want to ask them to leave, just wait."
"Our young lady is in critical condition and could die at any moment!"
"I'll go in and report. You just wait here."
Seeing Bao Lan's unyielding demeanor, Zhuang Zhicheng didn't believe she would report it. He mainly thought that Qiu Mingxuan and Yang Cui had a bad relationship, and Yang Cui might deliberately keep Physician Sun around, delaying the rescue.
In such a life-or-death moment, time is life.
Thinking of this, Zhuang Zhicheng didn't care about anything else, pushed Bao Lan aside, and rushed in.
"Someone come quick!" Bao Lan shouted angrily.
Soon Cui Jiu arrived with his men and blocked Zhuang Zhicheng's path: "What do you take our General's Mansion for? Do you want to die, barging in like this?"
"I want to see General Cen!"
"Our general is very busy. Do you think you can just see him whenever you want? Who do you think you are?"
Zhuang Zhicheng choked.
He then added, "I've come to invite Physician Sun. Please have Steward Cui inform him."
"Physician Sun is currently examining my wife. Please wait a moment."
"It's not that I'm unwilling, but the situation is urgent, and my young lady can't wait any longer." After Zhuang Zhicheng finished speaking, he shouted towards the main courtyard, "General, General Cen, Physician Sun, my young lady is in critical condition. Please, General Cen, do me a favor! Physician Sun, Physician Sun..."
Zhuang Zhicheng's voice was so loud that Yang Cui heard it.
"I'm mostly recovered now, Physician Sun. Please go and check on Miss Qiu quickly. If you're in such a hurry and delay her treatment, it could worsen her condition, which would be terrible."
Although Yang Cui said this, what she really thought was: I have nothing to do with dying from illness! I'm not a saint!
The reason she said this was simply to prevent rumors from spreading that she was deliberately detaining Physician Sun to delay Qiu Mingxuan's treatment. Yang Cui was certain that if anything happened to Qiu Mingxuan, people would say she was deliberately holding off Physician Sun and causing Qiu Mingxuan's death.
There are many ways to take revenge on Mingxuan; there's no reason to use such a method that would give others cause for criticism.
Physician Sun could also hear Zhuang Zhicheng's shouts. He instructed Yang Cui, "Then Madam, please rest well and take your medicine properly. From now on, use the prescription I wrote today. I will come for a follow-up visit every two days."
"Thank you very much, Physician Sun. You've worked hard."
Cen Xiao saw Physician Sun to the door, and Physician Sun whispered to Cen Xiao, "Although your wife's health is fine, it is not advisable for her to conceive in the next six months."
"I understand, thank you Physician Sun."
Afterwards, Physician Sun followed Zhuang Zhicheng to the Duke's Mansion.
"Zhuang Zhicheng came in such a hurry, what happened to Qiu Mingxuan?" Yang Cui asked.
"Whether she's alright or not is none of our business. You should talk less, rest more, and get well soon."
Yang Cui is actually not in any major problems now, except that her throat still hurts a little when she speaks.
Yang Cui looked at Cen Xiao suspiciously: "You didn't do something, did you?"
“She had someone poison you,” Cen Xiao said after a moment’s hesitation.
Yang Cui wasn't surprised, after all, that vicious woman had previously collaborated with Luo Yanfen to try and kill her.
"Then what did you do? Did you poison her too?"
"I was simply giving them a taste of their own medicine."
She poisoned Yang Cui, so he made her taste the same thing!
If she survives a tenfold dose of poison, she's incredibly lucky!
