The adopted daughter returns with a new face

Mu Rongchen rushed back to the palace and rushed to Ziyuexuan. He saw Liang Zihan, who was unconscious and had pustules all over his face and neck on the bed. He was shocked and asked the two maids what was going on.

"Your Highness, we don't know either! Queen Dong gets up late. When we came in just now, we saw that she had become like this. We couldn't wake her up even if we called her." Zhihua answered truthfully.

Ning Xin and Zhi Hua saw Liang Boshan and his son come in to greet them.

Liang Boshan and his son walked to the bedside and were shocked to see Zi Han with pustules on her face and neck. Liang Zichu reached out and gently pulled back the quilt covering his sister. When he took out her hand, he saw pustules on her hand as well. He lifted up her sleeve and was shocked.

Liang Boshan was horrified when he saw his daughter's body covered with pustules and asked, "How could this happen?"

"Zi Han was fine yesterday, how come he became like this overnight?" Mu Rongchen was also shocked.

"Your Majesty, the Queen has been complaining about her body being itchy these past two days. She thought it was because the house was too dry due to the fire in the winter, so she asked me to buy some moisturizer to apply on it." Ning Xin reported and turned to run to the dressing table, took out the moisturizer she had bought and handed it to her.

Mu Rongchen reached out to take it, and saw Yang Feng and Feng Lei walking in with Chu Jianfeng. He didn't bother to check the moisturizer and asked Chu Jianfeng to check Liang Zihan's condition.

Chu Jianfeng was so shocked when he saw Liang Zihan's condition that his heart trembled a few times. He hurriedly checked her pulse. The more he checked, the more frightened he became. He changed his hand and reported: "Your Majesty, Duke Liang, this concubine Liang has been poisoned for a long time. I'm afraid she can't be saved."

His words frightened the Liang father and son so much that Liang Boshan almost fell down and had to be supported by his son.

Mu Rongchen suppressed his fear and ordered Chu Jianfeng: "Doctor Chu, explain the situation to me clearly."

"Your Highness, Concubine Liang has been poisoned by the Bolan grass for several months. This is a chronic poison. The poisoned person will not feel anything, but once the poison enters the bone marrow, it will instantly erupt and the whole body will fester and die." Chu Jianfeng reported the situation.

Everyone was shocked when they heard Chu Jianfeng's words. Liang Boshan hurriedly pleaded: "Doctor Chu, please save my daughter."

"Duke Liang, Concubine Liang has been severely poisoned. This old minister is powerless to save her. Please prepare for her funeral." Chu Jianfeng said bluntly that he could not save her.

Mu Rongchen suddenly thought of Lan Rufeng, who was called by him to examine Zi Han. He should have found out that Zi Han was poisoned by a chronic poison but he didn't say anything. Maybe he was still resentful about the slap he had given him and was feeling regretful.

"Feng Lei, go and find out for me who poisoned the concubine's food." Mu Rongchen gave the order immediately, and Feng Lei turned around and ran away.

Liang Boshan couldn't help but feel heartbroken, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, which scared everyone. He covered his chest with his hands, feeling a pain in his heart.

"Father..." Liang Zichu was so scared that he helped his father sit down at the table, and Chu Jianfeng hurriedly took his pulse.

Chu Jianfeng checked his pulse and replied: "Your Highness, Duke Liang is fine, he just got stimulated. He just needs to rest."

"Doctor Chu, wake up Zi Han for me." Mu Rongchen ordered. Chu Jianfeng nodded and took out a silver needle to insert it into Liang Zi Han's tiger's mouth to wake him up. As soon as the man woke up, he opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Zi Han..." Mu Rongchen saw Liang Zi Han in pain and hugged her in his arms. Liang Zichu was helpless when he saw his sister like this, and he was heartbroken.

“My lord, my concubine is in so much pain, so much pain…!” Liang Zihan cried out in pain as soon as she woke up.

"Zi Han, tell me who poisoned you?" Mu Rongchen asked with concern.

"I don't know, Prince, please save me, I don't want to die...!" Liang Zihan felt that her internal organs were no longer hers. She begged for help in pain and fainted again.

"Your Highness, Feng Lei asked the butler. The queen usually eats with you, except for the bowl of sweet soup she has during lunch break. The poison must be in that bowl of soup." Feng Lei ran back to report.

"Your Highness, we dare not do that." Zhihua and Ningxin both knelt on the ground and cried out for justice. They would not dare to do that even if they had a hundred courage.

"Your Highness, Zhihua and the others are the Madam's maids who came with her as a dowry. The servants in the mansion don't have the courage to do that. The Madam has been poisoned for several months. It is impossible that they did it. Master Lan even took the Madam's pulse at the time. Didn't he find out what was wrong?" Yang Feng looked at Chu Jianfeng.

When Chu Jianfeng heard that Lan Rufeng had examined Liang Zihan's pulse, he must have found out, but he didn't tell Prince Rong. "Your Highness, maybe Young Master Lan found out."

"Why didn't he say it?" Liang Zichu was angry.

"Maybe he's holding a grudge against the prince for hitting him." Yang Feng guessed, and everyone was silent for a moment.

"Your Highness, I have prescribed some medicine to help Concubine Liang temporarily suppress her condition, but Concubine Liang's condition is incurable. Your medical skills are limited, so I will take my leave now." Chu Jianfeng handed the prescription to Yang Feng, picked up the medicine box and left.

Mu Rongchen watched Chu Jianfeng leave with the medicine box, and felt helpless when he saw Liang Zihan fainting in his arms. Lan Rufeng was such a vengeful person, and he made a mistake.

Yang Feng took the prescription and left with Chu Jianfeng. Zhihua and Ning Xin followed him out of the house out of fear. When they thought about the ghost in the house and Mrs. Lin being strangled to death, Zhihua became secretly panicked.

"Your Highness, could the Queen's poisoning be related to Madam Lin?" Feng Lei reminded his master.

"Lin Xi..." Mu Rongchen suddenly heard Feng Lei's words, and his mind was spinning rapidly.

"Your Highness, didn't Madam Lin just pass away from illness a few days ago?" Liang Zichu asked in confusion.

"Feng Lei, go out of the city immediately to investigate." Mu Rongchen felt that everything that happened was too strange, so he gave the order decisively.

"Yes..." Feng Lei received the order and left quickly.

"Your Highness, didn't Madam Lin die of illness?" Liang Zichu asked again after seeing Feng Lei leave.

Mu Rongchen put Liang Zihan on the bed, and then told his brother-in-law and Zichu what had happened in the mansion a few days ago. Both father and son were shocked after hearing it.

"Liang Ziyu may not be dead. What happened in the mansion is too strange. I must figure it out. Did my brother-in-law hide anything from me about what happened back then? Did Zi Han do anything to Liang Ziyu?" Mu Rongchen stared at Liang Boshan.

Seeing that Mu Rongchen was suspicious, Liang Boshan suppressed his thoughts and said, "Prince Rong, what can I hide from you? Zi Han has been in poor health since she was a child, what can she do to Zi Yu? Zi Yu is also my daughter."

Mu Rongchen didn't believe what Liang Boshan said. These things were too strange. Since he didn't say anything, he didn't bother to ask.

"Zi Chu, you guys go back first."

Liang Boshan stood up and walked to the bedside. Looking at his daughter on the bed, he felt guilty: "Zi Han, it's all your father's fault."

"Father, let's go back first." Liang Zichu reluctantly helped his father leave. His sister couldn't even be cured by Chu Jianfeng. Who else in the world could save her? The person who poisoned her was so cruel.

When the father and son returned home, they heard that their mother had suddenly gone mad. They were so scared that they ran to the backyard without caring about their sadness. When they ran, they saw their mother crying and shouting that she was guilty. Zi Yu was the daughter of King Nannan and was stolen to extend Zi Han's life. The father and son were instantly frightened out of their wits and sent all the servants out of the house.

The old lady looked at her son and grandson's behavior and asked her son, only to find out that her little granddaughter was not born by her daughter-in-law at all. Instead, they stole the child in Dingyu County. It turned out to be the little daughter of the King of Nan'an. They hid her and persecuted her for the sake of their eldest granddaughter. She almost fainted from anger.
