Without hesitation, she ordered sternly, "Madame Leng, kneel down and slap her until the Marquis is satisfied!"

A flash of resentment suddenly crossed Nanny Leng's face, and she reluctantly replied in a low voice: "Yes, I know I was wrong!"

She quickly knelt on the ground, raised her hand and slapped it hard towards her mouth.

She thought that with her status, Lin Yiwan would definitely take advantage of the situation and stop while she was ahead.

Unexpectedly, not only was she indifferent, she didn't even try to stop.

The crisp sound of slapping broke the silence in the room, making Concubine De's face increasingly grim and ugly.

In a panic, she suddenly fell backwards.

Lin Yiwan's expression suddenly changed, and she quickly said, "Oh no, Grandfather, Concubine De's poison has worsened. The only solution now is to fight poison with poison!"

Imperial Physician Lin frowned and pondered, "Wanwan, this is too risky. If we fight poison with poison, I'm afraid it will harm Concubine De's body, and it will be difficult for her to recover in the future!"

Lin Yiwan said anxiously, "Are we just going to watch her get poisoned to death? We can't even come up with an antidote right now!"

Doctor Lin sighed helplessly: "Okay, let's do as you say and use poison to fight poison!"

Nanny Leng, who was still slapping, suddenly stood up. Her face was already swollen.

The lips are also somewhat unable to open.

But she still forced herself to speak: "You are so bold! Are you going to kill the Empress? How dare you use poison to fight poison? Are you crazy?"

Lin Yiwan frowned and looked at her: "Madam, my grandfather was the director of the Imperial Hospital, and all the doctors were his disciples. Did Empress Defei say this?"

Nanny Leng questioned with hatred in her eyes, "So what if it was what Her Majesty said? That's not a reason for you to harm her!"

Lin Yiwan shook her head: "No, we don't want to harm her, but we want to tell you that since even my grandfather can't cure the poison, then she will have no choice but to die!"

Nanny Leng interrupted sharply: "Since he can't cure our queen, he deserves to die!"

Lin Yiwan angrily scolded, "How dare you! You think you can just dispose of the Emperor's personal physician? If you want him to die, you have to see if the Emperor agrees. Otherwise, I will go and invite the Emperor here right now and let him decide how to save your Empress."

Defei suddenly felt guilty. She couldn't let Lin Yiwan go to see the emperor, otherwise, he would make random guesses about her intentions in risking her life to keep Doctor Lin.

She quickly stopped him: "Madam Hou, don't look for the emperor. I agree with your method of fighting poison with poison. Then go get the poison!"

Nanny Leng was so frightened that her whole body trembled violently. She pleaded in a trembling voice, "Liangliang!"

Concubine De waved her hand and said, "Don't say anything more. Just obey whatever the Marquis says. Don't anger her again!"

Nanny Leng nodded and retreated with a look of reluctance.

Lin Yiwan quickly took out a dark brown pill and said directly, "Here, Concubine De, take it quickly!"

Concubine De quickly said, "Don't bother Madam Hou, I can take it myself!"

After saying that, she was ready to reach out and grab it.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yiwan quickly refused: "No, this poison is very strong, it cannot be contaminated on your delicate skin!"

De Fei couldn't help but retort: ​​"But you are not afraid?"

Lin Yiwan nodded hurriedly: "Because I took the antidote in advance. Besides, I've been exposed to these drugs for years, and my skin has developed a resistance to them!"

Concubine De gritted her teeth, and a hint of anxiety flashed across her eyes.

She didn't want to take the poison at all, and had originally thought of taking it herself and replacing it with another.

But she insisted on feeding it herself, which was very troublesome.

If she swallowed this poison, her body would be completely ruined.

No, no, she must not eat it!

Seeing that Lin Yiwan had already put the poison in her palm to her mouth, she said, "Come on, my lady, eat it quickly. This way, you can keep half your life!"

"Puff!" Defei pushed her hand away angrily.

She frowned and said, "Madam Hou, instead of doing this, it would be better to find out the real culprit of the poison. That way we can get the real antidote!"

Lin Yiwan explained, "Isn't it because I'm afraid you can't wait? The poison has already penetrated your heart. If you swallow the poison, you can save half your life. But if you delay any longer, I'm afraid you'll lose that half!"

Defei only felt that her lungs were in great pain, and she didn't know whether it was because she was angry or scared.

She really regretted it so much. Why did she use such a stupid method to deceive Doctor Lin and lure the little fox Lin Yiwan here?

At this critical moment, she could only frown and say, "I remember eating the snacks made by Nanny Leng when I lit the calming incense. Why don't you go and test it?"

Lin Yiwan looked around and said, "Your Majesty, I didn't find any snacks."

Concubine De turned to look at Nanny Leng: "Where did it go?"

Nanny Leng hung her head and replied, "I threw it away. It's in the garbage bucket in the back alley!"

Lin Yiwan's face suddenly changed. Before she could say anything, a maid ran in with a worried look on her face and said, "Oh no! Your Majesty, there are several little beggars lying in the back alley, bleeding from their mouths and noses. They are very weak!"

Concubine De was shocked all over. It was over. She was in big trouble now!

She said quickly: "Go and bring those little beggars into the yard, quickly!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Yiwan ran out quickly.

She saw those beggars, took their pulses one by one, and then sealed their vital points with silver needles.

She got the snack and found out that it was poisonous.

She quickly returned to Concubine De and said, "Your Majesty, you just said that Nanny Leng made the snacks for you personally, right?"

Concubine De felt a little panicked. She knew that the snacks were poisonous, so she ate very little.

She didn't expect that Nanny Leng would actually throw the snacks into the garbage bucket, and she didn't expect that several beggars would be poisoned.

She replied in a trembling voice: "Yes, she gave it to me!"

Lin Yiwan turned to look at Nanny Leng. "Since the snacks were made by you, it's enough to prove that you are the real culprit of the poison. Where's the antidote? Hand it over quickly!"

Nanny Leng tried to argue, "If it wasn't me, how could I have poisoned the snacks?"

Lin Yiwan suddenly grabbed her chin, her eyes filled with murderous intent. "Do you know that you've implicated innocent people? If they die, you won't survive either. Do you want me to find the antidote, or do you voluntarily hand it over?"

Nanny Leng was shaking violently all over. She really didn't expect that such a big incident would occur.

Moreover, she really saw murderous intent in Lin Yiwan. If she dared to delay any longer, she was afraid that she would take her life in the next second.

She swallowed hard and said, "The antidote is in the pouch around my waist!"

Lin Yiwan didn't hesitate any longer and quickly took out the antidote and stuffed it into the mouths of several little beggars.
