Zhao Yi froze, startled by the glaring red blood: "Bai'er, what's wrong with you?"
Wasn't he awake? Why is he still vomiting blood?
His already pale lips turned even paler. He paused for a moment before standing up immediately: "Bai'er, wait here, I'll send someone to the palace to fetch the imperial physician right away."
After he finished speaking, he hurriedly turned around to call someone, but Jiang Bai raised his hand and barely grabbed his finger: "Wait."
"It's nothing serious, no need to trouble the imperial physician."
Zhao Yi turned around and grabbed her hand: "It's no trouble at all. You just wait at home. I'll be right back."
After saying that, he ran out of the room and disappeared.
Jiang Bai couldn't stop him, so he simply lay back down on the bed and coughed violently a few more times.
Not long after, Zhao Yi returned: "I've already sent someone to invite them. They'll be here soon, so don't worry."
"I'm not worried. It's you who's so nervous. You're such a coward." Jiang Bai even had the mood to tease him.
Looking at her carefree attitude, Zhao Yi gently pinched her cheek: "It's all because of you. If it were someone else, I certainly wouldn't be nervous."
Jiang Bai chuckled softly: "Not nervous at all, even with peace and joy? Hmm?"
Zhao Yi knew she was trying to put him at ease, so he smiled and replied, "Of course I'm worried too."
The atmosphere eased as the two joked around, and after a while, an old man with a white beard hurriedly walked in carrying a medicine box.
"Master Zhao, Madam Zhao."
"Dr. Li, thank you for making this trip."
"It's no trouble at all." Physician Li didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly on the edge of the bed to begin taking the pulse.
Physician Li took Zhao's pulse for a long time before frowning and getting up: "I'm sorry I don't know what illness Madam Zhao is suffering from. Apart from some qi deficiency, there is nothing else abnormal in her pulse."
Zhao Yi didn't expect to receive such an answer: "Are you really sure there's no problem?"
"I would never dare to hide anything. There is indeed nothing unusual. If you are still worried, Master Zhao, I will prescribe some medicine for recuperation later. Just take good care of yourself."
After leaving behind several prescriptions, Physician Li departed, but Zhao Yi did not feel relieved by Physician Li's words.
Seeing his worried expression, Jiang Bai grabbed his hand and patted it: "It's alright. Doctor Li said it's nothing serious. I'm also a doctor, so I know my own body very well. Why are you looking so worried? It's making others worry for nothing."
Zhao Yi looked up at her and said, "Then you should rest well these next few days and take good care of yourself as Physician Li said. Don't worry about anything else, I'll take care of everything."
Jiang Bai nodded, indicating that he would behave.
She didn't sit up until Zhao Yi had to leave.
Although Physician Li said she was fine, she knew that something was wrong with her body.
She carefully examined it and found that there was indeed a problem; it was likely poisoning, probably contracted at that herbal medicine shop.
Although she now knows she has been poisoned, she doesn't know what kind of poison it is.
This is starting to become a bit difficult...
——————————————————————————————————-
The next day, Zhao Yi's visit to the imperial physician was not kept secret from the people in the palace, and he was summoned to the palace early in the morning to report back.
Jiang Bai tidied herself up. Although she had been poisoned, she did not experience any obvious discomfort. She felt numb all over while lying in bed, so she decided to get up and walk around.
After Ping An and Xi Le returned, Zhao Yi sent them to a private school to avoid him staying at home and worrying unnecessarily when he saw Jiang Bai unconscious. When he returned home at night, he would just tell them that Jiang Bai was asleep and then not see them.
This was the first time the two children had seen Jiang Bai in the past few days, and they immediately rushed over to him with great joy.
"Mom, you've been sleeping so much these past few days. We haven't seen you for days."
Jiang Bai bent down and picked up Xile, while holding Ping An's hand with his other hand.
"Mother has been too tired these past few days, so she slept a little longer."
Ping An pouted and looked up at her: "If Mother doesn't come out to see us soon, we're afraid we'll start to think of her as a pig, since she can sleep so much."
Jiang Bai's lips twitched: "Isn't this why I've come to see you all? Come on, today your mother will personally take you to the private school."
Upon hearing this, Ping An obediently got into the carriage, while Xi Le struggled for a while.
Jiang Bai asked, "What's wrong? Has it turned into a tiny insect?"
Xile pouted, looking aggrieved: "I haven't seen any girls at the private school these past few days. I specifically asked the teacher, and he said that girls don't have to study."
"Huh? But Xile has been having a lot of fun at the private school these past few days, hasn't she?" Jiang Bai tried to bluff his way out of it.
Xile quickly shook her head like a rattle-drum: "No, if Daddy hadn't said that I could only skip school with Mommy's permission, I wouldn't have gone these past few days!"
Jiang Bai nodded: "Then your mother won't allow you to skip the private school. You'd better just obey."
Joy's big eyes were full of confusion: "Why?!"
"Because only by reading books can a person gain knowledge, and knowledge is power, which can greatly change a person. After experiencing joy, you don't want to be manipulated like other women, right?"
“Yes, Xile just wants to be Xile.” Xile nodded firmly.
"Then Xile should study diligently. Only intelligent people are not easily manipulated." Jiang Bai carried her into the car, which creaked and groaned as it headed towards the private school.
After hearing Jiang Bai's words, Xi Le nodded as if she understood, knowing that Jiang Bai would not agree to let her not go to the private school.
Soon, the car stopped at the entrance of the private school. Jiang Bai sent the child inside, learned about the environment of the school, and then left with peace of mind.
On her way back, she stopped her car in front of a shop. Since she had finally managed to get out of the house, she naturally wanted to have a good look around.
Perhaps because she hadn't eaten much during the days she was unconscious, she had lost some weight, and this time she wanted to eat everything she saw.
After walking about two blocks, she stopped at a corner.
Why do I suddenly feel a little dizzy?
She patted her head, but a wave of dizziness still rushed to her head, and suddenly everything went black as she fainted.
She slipped and fell to the ground, and was temporarily hidden by several pillars, so no one noticed.
Just as a carriage clattered by, the curtains were half-lifted, and the person inside looked at the street scene, and that's how Jiang Bai came into her view.
"parking."
She spoke softly, her voice filled with languor and authority.
Immediately, someone stepped forward to help her out of the car. She gracefully approached the unconscious Jiang Bai, her gorgeous skirt cascading down the ground like an extravagant flower.
"It's you! What a small world!"
The person who arrived was none other than the princess. She smiled sweetly and stroked the red nail polish on her finger: "Someone, take her back."
Several guards immediately lifted Jiang Bai into the carriage, and Jiang Bai was thus taken back to the princess's residence by the princess.
Inside the princess's residence, an elderly man with white eyebrows was taking Jiang Bai's pulse. After a while, he turned around and reported to the princess.
"Your Highness, this person has been poisoned by our clan's Firefly Poison."
