The Duke's Mansion.
"Physician Sun, please save my daughter." Qiu Tianyun bowed to Physician Sun.
"General, you mustn't! How could I accept such a grand gesture from you?"
Physician Sun offered a helping hand: "I will do my best."
At this moment, Qiu Mingxuan had already fallen into a coma. When Physician Sun saw Qiu Mingxuan, whose face was pale and whose lower half was covered in blood, he was shocked.
After taking Qiu Mingxuan's pulse, he was even more shocked. It was the exact same poison that Yang Cui had been poisoned with!
He hurriedly said, "Miss Qiu has been poisoned. This poison... is extremely vicious, and the dosage is quite large."
Qiu Tianyun's eyes reddened: "Is there any hope for Xuan'er?"
"I will do my best to save her life, but... Miss Qiu will probably be unable to have children in the future."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Tianyun almost collapsed. If a woman loses her fertility, who will want her in the future?
"Is it incurable? I can search all over the country for all kinds of precious medicinal herbs..."
"I am of limited knowledge and ability, and can only do my best to save her life."
After a long while, Qiu Tianyun finally spoke slowly: "Then please, Physician Sun, do your utmost to save my daughter's life."
Physician Sun said, "Have someone bring a bowl of warm water."
Soon the warm water arrived, and Physician Sun took out a pill, put it in the water, and had them stir it to dissolve before feeding it to Qiu Mingxuan.
Then he immediately wrote out a prescription and told them to prepare the medicine.
After Qiu Mingxuan drank the medicine, she did not wake up immediately. Qiu Tianyun asked Physician Sun, "Physician Sun, what kind of poison did my daughter suffer from? Is this kind of poison hard to find?"
"As far as I know, this kind of poison is an improvement on the formula of the 'Fertility Elimination Soup,' but it is a hundred times more vicious. If the old general wants to find the source, he might as well start with brothels."
"Thank you, Physician Sun."
Yang Cui was also poisoned by the same poison. Could there be any connection between them? Imperial Physician Sun hesitated whether to tell Qiu Tianyun.
After thinking about it, I realized it was better to mind my own business. I was just a doctor, my job was to treat patients and save lives, so it was best not to meddle in other people's affairs.
Two hours had passed since Qiu Mingxuan finished drinking the medicine, and she finally woke up.
"Father..." Qiu Mingxuan cried, "Father, I feel so bad, my stomach hurts so much, am I going to die?"
The weak Qiu Mingxuan could barely speak, her voice barely audible.
Qiu Tianyun felt extremely bad: "Nonsense, you'll be fine, you'll be alright. Physician Sun's medical skills are superb, you'll be alright."
"Father, what happened to Granny Tang? I dreamt that she died. I dreamt that when I opened my eyes I saw her covered in blood, hanging by my bedside. Father, can you let Granny Tang come to see me?" Thinking of that scene, Qiu Mingxuan was terrified, afraid of suffering the same fate as Granny Tang.
Qiu Tianyun remained silent. Granny Tang was dead, her death was extremely gruesome.
His tendons were severed, his tongue was pulled out, and he had sword wounds all over his body. Moreover, he did not die from a single sword blow, but died after suffering endless torture.
What kind of hatred could torment a person like this?
Qiu Tianyun knew that his daughter and Granny Tang had a very good relationship, and he was afraid that revealing these things would be detrimental to her recovery, so he lied to her: "You are sick, and she is worried about you, so she went to Da'an Temple to pray for you. She won't be back for eighty-one days."
"That's good, that's good."
"Xuan'er, take good care of yourself. You're so sick, it must be because the servants in your house haven't taken good care of you. I've found you some capable maids and servants, so you can use them whenever you need them."
Qiu Mingxuan was poisoned in her own home. Such a big incident naturally prompted Qiu Tianyun to investigate thoroughly. Everyone in the mansion, especially those around Qiu Mingxuan, was a suspect, so they were all taken into custody by Qiu Tianyun.
"Father, I still want to use my original people."
“They have all been punished and can’t serve you now, so just focus on getting better. If they don’t work well for you, tell your father and he will find someone else for you.”
It was not unusual for the maids and servants to be punished when their master was punished, so Qiu Mingxuan did not think much of it.
