Li Yihuan woke up at night.
When she woke up, it was already pitch black outside, and the world was shrouded in darkness.
Candles were lit inside the room, and her husband, Jiang Mingjin, lay quietly by her bedside, watching over her.
Looking at the dark circles under his eyes and his haggard face, Li Yihuan knew that Jiang Mingjin had also suffered a lot during this period due to her own poor health.
Although their marriage was short-lived and filled with unforgettable sorrows, she never doubted her husband's love for her.
Jiang Mingjin woke up immediately when she reached out to touch him.
Seeing Li Yihuan smiling, her expression seemed better than before.
She was relieved and quickly asked, "Madam, how are you feeling? Should we call a doctor to come and take a look?"
"No need. We've seen many doctors these days, including the imperial physicians, but unfortunately, none of their prescriptions have been as effective as Weiwei's."
"But I heard that I was poisoned, and that the poison in my body was only temporarily suppressed, and that I still need her help to detoxify later, is that right?"
Although Li Yihuan was drowsy, she had roughly heard what Jiang Mingwei said to her, as well as their conversation outside the house.
By putting things together, we can understand what exactly happened.
Jiang Mingjin nodded dejectedly.
"That's what she said."
“That husband is really confused. Knowing that Weiwei is the only one who can cure my poison, why did he treat her so badly? She is your own sister, and the two of you should be close to each other.”
“I told you long ago that it was an accident back then, and it had nothing to do with her. It’s you who’s refused to accept it, yet you want her to bear this pain. Is that fair to her?”
Li Yihuan shook her head, not understanding what her husband was insisting on or who he was punishing.
“I have already apologized to her, otherwise she would never have been willing to come and save you.”
Jiang Mingjin lowered his head, the candlelight reflecting his inscrutable expression, and whispered, trying to evade the question.
Li Yihuan smiled bitterly and shook her head slightly.
“No, my husband, you should know Weiwei better than I do. She mentioned that I was poisoned when she came last time. She's not the kind of person who would leave someone to die. She must have started preparing the antidote as soon as she got back. Otherwise, she wouldn't have come back with you today and given me the antidote right after you left.”
"How could there be a cure-all medicine in this world? The only explanation is that she made the medicine in advance, just waiting for my poison to take effect. You go to her, and she will give me the medicine."
"If she had come earlier, I'm afraid you would have been able to use this against her, and then misunderstand her again, right?"
Li Yihuan has always been a very insightful person.
In just a few words, he analyzed the situation between Jiang Mingjin and Jiang Mingwei very clearly!
Jiang Mingjin wanted to make excuses, but she didn't know how to start...
If that's the case, he might become even more convinced that Jiang Mingwei was the one who poisoned him!
Fortunately, Jiang Mingwei noticed something was wrong and never came back.
“I wasn’t feeling well at the time, and Weiwei comforted me while telling me what I needed to be careful about in the future, especially about Dr. Chen…”
When she mentioned her, Li Yihuan's expression turned serious, and a sharp, wary glint flashed in her eyes as she carefully recalled her previous unborn child.
"Actually, there's something I don't know whether I should tell my husband. Our first child was lost in a really strange way! Before I got married, my parents had a doctor examine me. The doctor said I was healthy and could easily have children, and I did indeed get pregnant very quickly."
"From then on... it was Dr. Chen who took over, but who knew he would say that my body was weak, so the baby was very unstable and needed to be well cared for."
“I didn’t believe it at all, because it was completely different from what the doctor my family found for me said! So, after I went back, I had them invite that doctor back to examine me again, and to my surprise, that doctor also said that my pulse was extremely strange!”
"Last time the child was perfectly healthy and stable, but this time it became chaotic, like a floating duckweed without roots. Sure enough, not long after that, I accidentally tripped and fell, and the child died on the spot..."
Li Yihuan choked up as she recounted the story, her eyes red-rimmed.
"It wasn't even that steep, and it's not like no one has ever fallen there before, but no one has ever suffered such a terrible fate as me..."
No matter how much time has passed, this incident will always be a source of pain for her.
Even today, the past events still linger in my mind.
"So, Madam, you're saying...you suspect that Doctor Chen might have a problem?"
Upon hearing her words, Jiang Mingjin quickly inquired.
Li Yihuan nodded, her pale face revealing only a pair of exceptionally bright and resolute eyes.
“I believe in Weiwei. No matter how you see her, husband, I only know that she didn’t harm my first child, and she just saved my life, so I should believe in her!”
"Since she says Dr. Chen might have problems, then I'm willing to thoroughly investigate this person's background. Maybe all along, we've been misled by others!"
After much deliberation, Jiang Mingjin finally nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I understand."
So the next day, he immediately had someone secretly keep a close eye on Doctor Chen to see if he was acting strangely.
As for Li Yihuan... we absolutely dare not let him treat patients again.
She had no choice but to spend a lot of money to hire an old imperial physician who had retired from the Imperial Hospital, to be kept in the mansion as the family physician, and to be responsible for taking her pulse in the future.
The old doctor did his best to give Li Yihuan a thorough examination, inside and out, after she felt better.
After investigating, he frowned and looked serious.
Whenever they see the doctor looking like this, they should get worried.
Soon, the doctor loosened Li Yihuan's pulse and sighed.
"Madam, you have truly been ambushed by a villain! Apart from the poison I have never seen before, if I am not mistaken, you should have been in good health before, rarely suffering from minor illnesses throughout the year, right?"
Li Yihuan nodded repeatedly.
"That's right, my health started to decline after I married into the Jiang family."
"That's right. Someone used some method to gradually weaken your originally strong physique. If you are pregnant, the child will miscarry immediately if it suffers even the slightest accident."
"Moreover, the lady is currently poisoned and pregnant. She will either die from the poison, resulting in the death of both herself and her unborn child, or she will definitely have a difficult childbirth, in which case she may not be able to survive!"
The old doctor's words sent chills down the spines of both Li Yihuan and Jiang Mingjin.
The two looked at each other, their faces filled with disbelief.
how so……
Who could be so cruel as to inflict such a wicked karma upon her, even wanting her dead?!
