Ling Xiang and Qi Lianghan checked the construction progress of the building together. It will be completed in two days.
She took out a large sum of money and ordered people to buy things to decorate the rooms, striving to make everyone live warmly and comfortably.
Preparations for the resettlement of the former members of the Ling family army have been completed. Ling Xiang plans to return to the Marquis of Zhenguo's Mansion to arrange the settlement of the children, but before leaving, he hears the news that Ling Yan has been poisoned.
Without waiting for Ling Xiang to send someone to investigate, He Sheng took the initiative to find Ling Xiang. He first thanked Ling Xiang for saving Zhang Qian and her son several times, and then admitted that he was the one who poisoned Ling Yan.
Ling Xiang understood He Sheng's feelings and had expected that he would not give up, but he should not have made the matter public.
At the manor of the Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion, even for the sake of the Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion's face, she had to pretend to protect Ling Yan.
Ling Xiang slammed the table and stood up: "Ling Yan, the last name is Ling. No matter how she is not, she is still a member of the Ling family. Only the people of the Ling family can deal with her. It is not the turn of others to plot against her!"
"I admit that I am not a good person and have done some bad things. However, it is truly outrageous for someone like Lingyan to attack her unborn brother or sister! If she were not Qian'er's daughter, I would not give her a chance to live!" He Sheng knelt straight, knowing his mistakes but not regretting them.
"He Sheng has made a mistake, please punish him, Master."
Ling Xiang picked up the teacup and smashed it at He Sheng's feet: "Do you know that if you commit treason, you are guilty of the death penalty?"
He Sheng kowtowed, not even wincing when his head hit the broken porcelain pieces: "He Sheng, this life was given by the master, and the master can take it away at any time."
He Sheng's daring attitude really made Ling Xiang look at him with new eyes:
"Whatever poison you gave Lingyan, use double the amount yourself. If you're still alive, I can let this matter go. However, Lingyan is now Wu He's man, and Wu He is the manager of the manor. You have to give him an explanation."
"Thank you, master." He Sheng took out the medicine bottle, swallowed two pills, and strode out.
Before he even walked out the door, the poison took effect. He Sheng staggered and had to hold on to the door to avoid falling.
He felt as if his heart was being bitten by thousands of ants, and beads of sweat were dripping from his body. He Sheng did not use the antidote, but insisted on walking to Wu He's residence, and fell to his knees with a bang.
Wu He was taking care of Ling Yan in the room. Ling Yan cried out in pain, sometimes beating and scolding him, and sometimes begging Wu He to find a doctor for him.
Wu He had already sent someone to invite Qi Lianghan, but Qi Lianghan had not arrived yet and He Sheng arrived first.
Wu He handed Ling Yan to his mother's care. When he went outside, he was shocked to see Wu He's appearance: "Doctor He, what's wrong with you?"
"I was the one who poisoned Ling Yan. The young lady asked me to come here to give you an explanation."
Wu He couldn't believe it. He looked at He Sheng carefully and said in shock, "You were also poisoned by the same poison as Yan'er?"
He Sheng had no expression on his face. He took out a dagger and slashed it hard at his arm.
In an instant, black blood dyed He Sheng's sleeves red.
It was the first time He Sheng had seen someone so cruel to him. He was shocked: "Doctor He, give me the antidote and I won't pursue you."
"There is no antidote. We can only endure this poison." He Sheng poisoned Ling Yan so that she could experience the pain and not dare to act recklessly again. Naturally, he would not prepare an antidote.
After saying that, He Sheng raised the dagger in his hand again.
This time, Wu He snatched the dagger from He Sheng.
He could see that He Sheng's condition was more serious than Ling Yan's. Ling Yan at least still had the energy to beat and scold him, but He Sheng was already at the end of his strength.
He felt sorry for Ling Yan, but he couldn't really let He Sheng die here with him:
"Since the young lady has spared your life, and you have received the punishment you deserve, the matter is settled. You may leave now."
"Thank you." He Sheng supported his body with one hand and staggered out.
"Stop!" Ling Yan, who was in the room, heard the conversation outside and knew that He Sheng had poisoned her. Now Wu He not only refused to avenge her, but also wanted to let He Sheng go. How could she accept this? She endured the pain and rushed out:
"Wu He, this man poisoned your wife, and you just let him go? Are you a man? Kill him now!"
Wu He glanced at He Sheng, frowned, and helped Ling Yan into the room: "You should have a good rest and don't worry about what's happening outside."
Ling Yan shook off Wu He's hand with all her strength. The poison kicked in again. She screamed and slapped her stomach hard, blaming all her hatred on Wu He: "You coward! You don't even dare to kill your wife!"
Wu He held Ling Yan's hand to prevent her from hurting herself and carried her into the house.
"Bang!" He Sheng fainted from the pain and fell to the ground.
"Mom, please help call a few people to carry He Sheng back." Wu He instructed and closed the door.
"Let me go! You coward!" Ling Yan was still yelling and cursing. Wu He had no choice but to knock Ling Yan unconscious.
When Ling Xiang heard the news, she didn't want all her previous hard work to go to waste, so she went to treat He Sheng.
He Sheng was still twitching in a coma, and the wound on his arm was still bleeding.
Ling Xiang examined He Sheng and found that He Sheng was really cruel.
The poison he used would not kill people, but the victim's condition would become more and more severe with each attack, and he would have to endure pain day after day. I think it would be no less painful than the torture in prison.
The pain He Sheng had to endure was twice as much as Ling Yan's.
He was also obedient and did not detoxify himself, but just endured it.
Ling Xiang used instruments to prepare an antidote for him and stop his bleeding. After doing all this, He Sheng woke up.
Feeling that he had been detoxified, He Sheng was surprised: "Master, you detoxified me?"
Ling Xiang said helplessly, "I can't let you work for me every day with your poisoned body, right?"
"Thank you, Master." He Sheng forced himself to stand up and kowtowed. "Master, will you also help Ling Yan with the detoxification?"
If Lingyan is detoxified in this way, how can the suffering she has endured make up for the double blow to her body and mind that Qian'er has suffered?
Ling Xiang placed the antidote on the table: "The antidote is yours. Whatever you want to do with it is your business."
At this moment, He Sheng was sincerely convinced by Ling Xiang: "He Sheng swears to be loyal to his master until his death."
Ling Xiang suspected that He Xun had been instructed by the Princess to poison Concubine Shu, and asked, "Let me ask you a question. Did you receive any instructions when you poisoned Concubine Shu?"
He Sheng was surprised that Ling Xiang actually knew about his poisoning of Concubine Shu, but he did not ask any more questions and said bluntly:
"No. I was ordered by the Emperor to enter the palace to detoxify Concubine Shu. I originally wanted to use my life-saving grace to exchange for Qian'er's release. Unfortunately, I met a descendant of the Medical Immortal Valley who was as powerful as my master. That's why I had no choice but to take this risk."
"Oh." Ling Xiang didn't care much.
He Xun kowtowed again: "Master, can I marry Qian'er?"
Ling Xiang asked back: "What do you think?"
He Sheng wanted to take care of Zhang Qian and her son with a legitimate reason, but he knew that Zhang Qian was once the second wife of Ling, and marrying Zhang Qian in the manor of the Marquis of Zhenguo would indeed have a very bad impact.
Although he knew the truth, he still wanted to be a real couple with Zhang Qian: "I know I am asking for too much, please help me, Master."
