It was already past 3:45 AM. Qiu Tianyun hadn't slept all night. After questioning everyone, he discovered that the poison was something Qiu Mingxuan had bought herself some time ago!
Why would she buy this for no reason? The worst part is that she got poisoned by the very thing she bought. No matter how you look at it, her daughter doesn't seem like the type to commit suicide by poisoning.
So who harmed her?
In fact, Qiu Tianyun had some suspicions in his heart, after all, the only person who had a grudge against his daughter was Yang Cui.
Now, rumors are circulating that Yang Cui's assassination attempt was orchestrated by her daughter. Cen Xiao has warned her that if she dares to harm Yang Cui again, he will not let Qiu Mingxuan off the hook. Therefore...
Could it be that my daughter's poisoning is really related to Cen Xiao and Yang Cui?
If that's really the case, he certainly won't let it go!
"Master, something terrible has happened, something terrible has happened..."
Granny Qiu was the servant he had sent to serve Qiu Mingxuan. Hearing Granny Qiu's anxious voice, Qiu Tianyun felt a chill in his heart and had a bad feeling.
"Sir, Miss's condition has worsened. You should go and see her quickly."
Qiu Tian rushed out like an arrow, but when he reached Qiu Mingxuan's door, he tripped and fell.
At that moment, he no longer cared about the pain; he kept calling out, "Xuan'er, Xuan'er..."
Qiu Mingxuan was writhing in pain on the bed.
"Dad, it hurts so much, it hurts so much, waaaah... Dad, hit me, hit me to death, it hurts so much, waaaah..."
"Where is the imperial physician? Where is Physician Sun?"
"I'm here, I'm here."
Because he was worried that Qiu Mingxuan might have an emergency, Physician Sun did not go back and stayed in the neighboring courtyard instead.
"Imperial Physician Sun, please save my daughter! Please save her!"
"Don't worry, General, I will do my best, I will do my best."
After taking Qiu Mingxuan's pulse, Physician Sun gave her a pill: "Miss Qiu, take this pill first, and I'll prescribe some painkillers for you right away."
The Chinese medicine was all freshly brewed, which took a long time. Qiu Mingxuan was in pain for another half an hour before the pain-relieving and calming medicine was finally served.
Qiu Mingxuan fell asleep less than fifteen minutes after taking the medicine.
After Physician Sun left, Qiu Tianyun chased after him and asked, "Physician Sun, wasn't my daughter much better this afternoon? Why is this happening?"
"In the afternoon, the poison wasn't deep enough," Physician Sun said. "General, forgive my bluntness, but you should be prepared."
"Wh...what do you mean? Physician Sun, what do you mean?"
"I can only prolong her life for two to three months."
As soon as Physician Sun finished speaking, Qiu Tianyun's vision went black, and he collapsed to the ground.
After treating the young child, Physician Sun had to treat the old one, which took quite a while.
Considering that Qiu Tianyun hadn't eaten or drunk anything all day and hadn't slept a wink, Physician Sun gave him a few acupuncture needles, but couldn't wake him up. He thought that letting him rest well would break even the strongest body if he didn't eat, drink, or sleep.
At the end of the next day's hour of Mao (5-7 AM), Qiu Tianyun woke up, and the first thing he did was to look for Physician Sun.
"Doctor Sun, you said last night that my daughter only...only two or three months to live. Are you lying to me? Are you lying to me?"
"General, I'm sorry, I'm not very knowledgeable and can only save her life for a few more months."
"Is there really no other way? Physician Sun, I only have Xuan'er as my child, please save her!" As he spoke, Qiu Tianyun bent his knees and prepared to kneel down.
Physician Sun quickly helped the person up: "General, it's not that I don't want to save her, but I'm truly powerless to do anything but try my best to alleviate her pain."
Qiu Tianyun froze on the spot!
All morning, Qiu Tianyun sat in his chair, neither eating nor drinking, and cried all morning.
Physician Sun said he would alleviate her pain, but she was still in a lot of pain. Seeing his daughter's haggard appearance, Qiu Tianyun's heart was bleeding.
"Father, what's wrong with me? Am I poisoned?" Qiu Mingxuan asked.
"No, no, it's just that you're sick. Don't worry about it. Physician Sun is very skilled, you'll get better soon."
After saying that, Qiu Tianyun asked again, "Xuan'er, do you still want to marry Cen Xiao?"
Qiu Mingxuan, who looked sickly, brightened up when she heard this: "But he won't marry me, sob sob sob, Dad, please don't marry me off to someone else, okay?"
"Alright, I promise you, I won't marry you off to anyone else. I'll have Cen Xiao come and bring you home in a grand sedan chair carried by eight men."
Qiu Mingxuan looked at Qiu Tianyun with hopeful eyes: "Really?"
"Of course it's true! Dad will definitely keep his word. You just focus on getting better and be a beautiful bride when the time comes."
This time, Qiu Tianyun was determined to make Cen Xiao marry his daughter, no matter the cost!
In the afternoon, at three-quarters past noon, Qiu Tianyun knelt at the main gate of the General's Mansion...
