Chapter 43: Saving People Turns into Investigating a Case
He Yue looked at everyone and said with a bow, "Your Excellency, Miss Guo has a special physique. She will need someone to take care of her at all times. However, Miss Guo's body is naturally repulsive to some people."
County Magistrate Guo asked, "What does exclusion mean?"
He Yue continued, "What this means is that Miss Guo's body cannot come into contact with this person. Otherwise, not only will it not heal, but it will also be dangerous."
Mrs. Guo asked, "Doctor He, are you saying that someone is incompatible with our young lady?"
He Yue smiled and said, "That's about what I mean!"
Mrs. Guo snorted coldly, "How ridiculous! I've never heard of anyone being sick because of a conflict with someone. Master, look, how can this Doctor He, a doctor, start talking about such weird things?"
County Magistrate Guo looked at Doctor Mo and said, "Doctor Mo, is this really true?"
Doctor Mo was embarrassed. This was the first time he had heard of this, but he still believed in He Yue in his heart, so he bowed seriously and said, "Although I haven't seen it yet, it doesn't mean that there are no such cases in the world."
County Magistrate Guo thought it made sense, otherwise why would his daughter's condition keep getting worse, no matter how many doctors she saw, it was useless.
County Magistrate Guo looked at He Yue again and asked, "Doctor He, do you have any way to find someone who will not be hostile to my daughter?"
He Yue pointed to the basin of water that was beginning to change color and said, "Please look, sir. I'm sure you know the effects of this grass! Crush it and add the powder I specially prepared. All you need to do is put your hand into this basin. The hand that can touch the young lady will be fine, but the hand that can't will change color and feel uncomfortable. Please have everyone in this yard try it."
County Magistrate Guo ordered everyone to line up and come forward one by one to take the test. Everyone who could work in the courtyard was given the test.
More than a dozen maids and servants had no problems. He Yue looked at the nanny and two maids beside Mrs. Guo and said, "Please give it a try, too, the three of you."
Madam Guan looked at Madam Guo, and Madam Guo asked, "They are my close associates and they don't serve in this courtyard. Do you still want to try?"
He Yue said, "Not only they have to try, but also the Madam and the Lord."
Mrs. Guo was a little unhappy, but since County Magistrate Guo had spoken, she couldn't refuse. He Yue looked carefully at the expressions of Nanny Guan and the others.
Before Nanny Guan and the two maids came to test, He Yue waved her hand over the basin and saluted, "Thank you all for your help. It's true that you will often come into contact with the young lady."
He Yue spoke respectfully, but in fact she was secretly sprinkling the medicine powder hidden under her fingernails into the basin.
The medicine powder dissolved in water, and even Nanny Guan, who was closest to the place, didn't notice anything wrong.
Seeing He Yue being so respectful, Nanny Guan and the other two felt a little relieved, and all three of them touched each other in the water.
As the three of them turned around, someone pointed at them and said, "Look, Madam Guan and the others' hands have changed color."
Nanny Guan and the other two looked up and were suddenly frightened. This is what is meant by a guilty conscience!
He Yue saw their expressions, and Mrs. Guo said unhappily, "What are you afraid of? Just don't get close to the young lady from now on."
The three of them then returned to Madam Guo's side. He Yue looked at Madam Guo and said, "Please come in, Madam Guo."
Similarly, Mrs. Guo's hands also changed color. Then it was County Magistrate Guo's turn. As expected, County Magistrate Guo's hands also changed color.
County Magistrate Guo looked at He Yue and said, "Doctor He, how could this happen? Is it possible that I can't even have contact with my daughter?"
He Yue bowed and said, "Please be patient, sir, and let everyone else who is safe leave the yard!"
County Magistrate Guo waved his hand, and Steward Lin led everyone out of the yard. Only Doctor Mo and his two companions, Madam Guo and her servants, and County Magistrate Guo were left.
County Magistrate Guo said, "Doctor He, please feel free to speak up if you have anything to say."
He Yue bowed and said, "Your Excellency is truly perceptive! I have spoken directly. May I ask, Your Excellency, do you know what kind of grass this is?"
County Magistrate Guo nodded and said, "I know. This is Nine-tailed Grass. It is not only beautiful but also calming."
He Yue continued to ask, "Where did you get this herb from, and how did you know about its efficacy?"
County Magistrate Guo thought for a moment. "About a year ago, I stumbled upon this herb in a book my wife was reading. My daughter always complained about having trouble sleeping, and my wife said it could calm her mind, but it was hard to find, and she had never seen it before. Later, I searched all over the city for it, and finally found it in a humble flower and plant shop. I gave it to my daughter on her birthday. What's wrong with this herb?"
He Yue looked at Madam Guo and said, "Then I have to ask Madam Guo..."
They all looked at Mrs. Guo in confusion. Mrs. Guo clenched her hands so tightly that her fingernails almost pricked her palms and made them bleed.
She was about to retort when He Yue turned her eyes to the three of them, "Madame Guan and these two sisters beside you."
He Yue was breathing so heavily on purpose. I had suspected it before, but now I am sure of it after seeing their instinctive reaction.
County Magistrate Guo turned around and looked angrily at Nanny Guan and the other two. After all, County Magistrate Guo was a local official and had been solving cases for three to five years. He could still sense something unusual in He Yue's words.
County Magistrate Guo roared, "Tell me, what explanation do you have for Doctor He's words?"
One of the timid maids fell to her knees and said, "Master, please spare me! This was all Madam Guan's order. I was just following orders to deliver this pot of grass to that shop. The other servants knew nothing about it. Please spare me, Master!"
Nanny Guan slapped the maid in the face and said, "Slut, what nonsense are you talking about?"
She immediately knelt before County Magistrate Guo and said, "Master, don't listen to the nonsense of this slave. I never told them to deliver any grass, and I don't even know what kind of grass this is."
County Magistrate Guo looked at Madam Guo and asked, "Madam, is there anything you need to explain?"
Nanny Guan said anxiously, "Master, Madam, I am innocent! Doctor He must have come here to spread rumors because she couldn't save the young lady."
He Yue smiled and said, "Madam, you are right. Your young lady was poisoned because of this grass. I can't save her, but your young lady asked me to send you all away with her."
Nanny Guan began to feel scared, but she still managed to say, "Impossible, this Nine-tailed Grass is not poisonous at all. It just makes the young lady's health worse and she feels drowsy all day long."
He Yue sighed, "Alas, Madam, you only know one side of the story. This grass is not poisonous normally, but if you come into contact with it for a long time, it will enter your skin and then your bloodstream. If you then combine it with the tonic soup that your wife kindly prepared, it will become poisonous."
Nanny Guan looked at He Yue viciously. "You're talking nonsense. My wife treats the young lady like her own child. What's wrong with making her a nourishing soup? Stop slandering me. This Nine-tailed Grass is not poisonous to any medicine or food. It will only make people weaker and weaker."
He Yue smiled at Nanny Guan, and after Nanny Guan finished speaking, she was kicked away by County Magistrate Guo. "Come here, take Nanny Guan and these two maids away for strict interrogation."
