Chapter 178 Courting Death, Emperor Taihe's Wrath
Because the other party was an unfamiliar old woman, Sun Kang could not help but look down on her, so he directly questioned her, "Aren't you a doctor? How can you be so careless about human life?
You gave me that powder before and said it could repel insects, but I sprinkled so much powder on my body and it didn’t do anything!
I just touched the banknotes in the box, and the poisonous insect bit me! You have harmed me to this point, you must save me! "
Feng Xinyi took a step back in disgust and pulled out the hem of her clothes.
Although she didn't know what Sun Kang had done, her bullying and cowardly attitude really made her sick!
Over the years, she has been practicing medicine with her two children and has encountered countless difficulties.
If I had a softer temper, I would have been bullied to death long ago.
You dare to threaten her, right?
Then wait for her!
"If it weren't for the insect repellent powder I gave you, that poisonous insect would have already burrowed into your body and entered your heart! Fortunately, you used the insect repellent powder in advance, so it only bit you and didn't take any further action."
Feng Xinyi spoke very rudely. Sun Kang saw that she was not someone to be trifled with, so he did not dare to continue to be presumptuous.
Feng Xinyi continued, "However, you were bitten by a Gu insect, so you might have been poisoned. I'll take your pulse first, and then prescribe a prescription to remove the poison."
When Sun Kang heard this, he immediately became more honest.
He was really afraid of death and wanted the other party to save his life, so naturally he didn't dare to make a fuss at this time.
Feng Xinyi took his pulse and said coldly, "It's true that he's been poisoned. I'll prescribe a prescription for you, and someone will make the medicine for you when the time comes."
After saying that, she walked out with the medicine box.
When Sun Kang saw that she had actually left like that, he subconsciously wanted to chase her, but as soon as he stood up, he was pushed to the ground by the Black Kirin Guard next to him.
"What are you doing? Are you still trying to escape from prison?"
After saying this, Hei Qi Wei snorted rudely and quickly locked the cell door.
Sun Kang was bitten by a poisonous insect, and we don’t know if there are any insect eggs on his body. We have to observe him carefully!
Lu Xuan followed Feng Xinyi outside and asked in a low voice, "Is he really poisoned?"
Feng Xinyi curled the corners of her lips in a mocking tone, "No signs of poisoning were found, I just lied to him. But it's best to observe for a while.
Perhaps he had been poisoned, but the symptoms hadn't appeared for too long. Or perhaps the insect had already injected its eggs into his wound.
Unfortunately, I haven't done much research on Gu worms. I need to go back and look through more medical books to see if I can find a way to deal with them."
Lu Xuan was also worried about these two points, so he specially prepared a separate cell for Sun Kang.
He did not blame Feng Xinyi, but thanked her politely and asked someone to send her back to the shop.
Feng Xinyi left behind a prescription with the word Coptis chinensis written on it.
Coptis chinensis has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, but it is very bitter and cold, so it should not be used too much.
Feng Xinyi only left the prescription. As for whether the Black Kirin Guard wanted to give it to Sun Kang, it was none of her business.
However, Lu Xuan found it a little funny when he held the prescription.
He asked his subordinates, "How is Sun Kang now?"
The subordinate replied carefully, "He didn't dare to cause any trouble. He just kept saying that he was poisoned and begged you to save his life."
Lu Xuan handed the prescription left by Feng Xinyi to his subordinates and said, "Have someone prepare the medicine. Ask Sun Kang what he's willing to give in exchange. This is the Black Kirin Guards' headquarters, not a charity."
The subordinate understood immediately and took the prescription, saying with a smile, "I will make him spill everything he knows!"
Lu Xuan nodded approvingly and looked at the transparent bottle again.
The insect in the bottle was not big, only the size of a sesame seed. If it were not blood red all over and placed in such a delicate and small transparent bottle, it would be difficult to notice it.
Chen Fang was a woman in the harem, but she used such means to deal with her stepson. She was really vicious.
Lu Xuan sneered disdainfully, carefully put away the bottle, and went straight into the palace. He reported to Emperor Taihe everything about Xie Xiu falling into the water in the Imperial College, recovering his memory, the Tu family exposing Chen Fang, and the poisonous insect.
Emperor Taihe's expression was extremely grim: "Chen, a woman in the harem, actually used poisonous insects to harm people..."
At this point, he suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Have you found out about Xu Maochun's background, as I asked you to do earlier?"
Lu Xuan immediately said, "Your Majesty, I have already found out that Xu Maochun is not Duke Cheng'en's biological son, but his illegitimate son, the child born after Chen An forced Ma Fu's wife into having sex..."
He recounted Xu Maochun's life story and childhood experiences in detail, and then mentioned the cases Xu Maochun had handled after joining the Black Kirin Guard, suspecting that Xu Maochun had tampered with them.
It’s just that there are a lot of cases, so it will take some time to thoroughly investigate them.
When Emperor Taihe heard about Xu Maochun's revenge on his adoptive father as a groom when he was a child, his expression suddenly became even uglier.
Although Xu Maochun's life experience and experiences were very pitiful, the groom raised him after all. His cruel revenge showed that he was vicious at a young age.
And the Chen family, they have always been low-key and honest in the past, and have a very good reputation, but I didn’t expect that they are so dirty inside!
Not only did he condone Chen An's evil deeds, he also allowed the grooms in his family to abuse women and children, and treated his own bloodline as servants, and he was always unwilling to admit...
They even raised a vicious woman like Chen!
Can such a family really be honest and decent?
Emperor Taihe took a deep breath and immediately ordered: "Now that we have discovered the Gu worm, we must thoroughly investigate its origins! If anyone dares to obstruct us, arrest them and interrogate them!"
"Wei Chen obeys!"
Lu Xuan took the order and left. After leaving the palace, he went straight back to the yamen to call a group of Black Kirin guards and headed to Xie's house to investigate the case!
……
Xie Mansion, Du Heng Courtyard.
Chen Fang was hugging her wet nurse and crying bitterly.
"Nurse, I've let you down. I'm afraid we won't be able to escape death this time. I only blame that little bastard Xie Xiu for being so cunning. He guessed that the banknotes in the box had been tampered with and never opened it.
Now he's deliberately plotting to have Yi'er push him into this trap, staging a rather tactical scheme in the Imperial College, using his father-in-law to reveal the tragic death of that bitch Luo Sheng!"
She cried as she spoke, and suddenly asked her nurse, "Nanny, did you find that little bastard Xie Xiu in the delivery room? He said he was hiding in the delivery room and had his mouth covered by a maid!"
Her wet nurse's surname was Zhao. She had left the Xie Mansion many years ago and was helping Chen Fang with her work outside.
This time, Xie Xiu fell into the water, which revealed the tragic death of Luo Sheng many years ago. Chen Fang then sent someone to invite the wet nurse into the house and cried to her.
Aunt Zhao frowned, "I didn't find that little bastard in the delivery room. Otherwise, I wouldn't have kept him until now."
At the end of her conversation, she asked anxiously, "Madam, did that little bastard really tell me about how I, an old slave, pretended to be a midwife?"
Chen Fang's eyes were blurred with tears, and there was despair in her eyes: "Nanny, this is all my fault. I've implicated you.
Now that the beast has said this, he will definitely not let it go.
I just hate that he is too cunning. He actually used the poisonous insect in the box to plot against me!
I'm afraid neither you nor I can escape this time.
But don't worry, I will ask the master to help plead for mercy and do my best to protect your family and prevent them from being implicated..."
When she said this, her voice became more choked, as if she was so sad that she could no longer speak.
However, Madam Zhao felt as if her body had fallen into an ice cave. At this moment, Chen Fang's soft body was even colder than the ice in the coldest days of winter.
