Marrying Wife and Concubine Together: After Rebirth, I Remarried the Scumbag's Father on the Sp

He immediately looked at Lin Yiwan: "Madam Hou, how do you think we can tell?"

Lin Yiwan said without hesitation: "I do have an idea, but I don't know if the Marquis of Huaiyang would agree!"

Marquis Huaiyang looked at her in shock: "What can I do?"

Lin Yiwan said calmly, "Let Madam Du test the medicine on herself!"

The Marquis of Huaiyang was immediately enraged. He asked without hesitation, "Why? You were also poisoned, so why didn't you try the medicine?"

Lin Yiwan coughed hard twice and said, "My poisoning is relatively mild, so the effect won't be very noticeable after I take it. But it's different for Madam Du. She's dying, and if she takes it, she can save her life!"

She paused, then continued, "Of course, I mean to make sure this is a real poisonous ice toad!"

The Marquis of Huaiyang asked in a trembling voice, "What if it's fake?"

Lin Yiwan shook her head: "I dare not say!"

A fierce struggle flashed in the eyes of the Marquis of Huaiyang. He looked down at Madam Du, whose breathing was becoming increasingly labored, and asked with a choked sob, "Mother, how can you tell me what I should choose?"

Mrs. Du held her hand tightly but could not utter a word.

At this time, a weak voice came from outside: "Try, just listen to Madam Hou and test the medicine for my mother!"

Everyone turned around and saw that it was Concubine De who came in gorgeous attire.

Emperor Sheng An asked in surprise, "Didn't Concubine De feel unwell and not want to attend the banquet? Why did you rush over again?"

De Fei's eyes immediately turned red, and she spoke softly, "Your Majesty, can I not come? My mother is almost dying!"

Emperor Sheng An subconsciously comforted her: "She will be fine, don't cry first!"

De Fei wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "Just do as Madam Hou said and let my mother try the medicine on her first. She is the family of a meritorious official and deserves proper care!"

Lin Yiwan's face suddenly darkened, and she guessed that this hypocritical woman was going to cause trouble.

Look at what you said, what do you mean by helping her test the medicine?

What about the family of meritorious officials? It's clearly making her hateful!

She immediately stopped him, "Wait a minute, Your Majesty, I disagree with what you said. How could Madam Du be testing the medicine for me? Did I force her to drink the poisoned wine?"

Sang Qiutang spoke quickly, "I can testify that it was Madam Du who volunteered to help drink the poisoned wine, and she drank a lot. We couldn't stop her even if we wanted to!"

Concubine De glared at her fiercely, her face full of coldness.

Sang Qiutang shuddered, but for Lin Yiwan's sake, he still forced himself to speak: "Empress Defei, even if Madam Du tried the medicine, it was only for her own survival. It really has nothing to do with Madam Hou. Everyone present can see it clearly!"

Her words were quickly responded to by several people, among whom the most forceful one came from Old Madam Fang.

She said in a serious tone, "I originally didn't want to get involved in this, but I can't stand by and watch you bully the weak and innocent. Don't think that just because your wife's husband went to the South to suppress bandits, she has no one to back her up. I will definitely protect her!"

If someone else said such words, Concubine De might scold her loudly and punish her for disrespect.

But the person in front of him was the old lady of the Fang family, who was the most respected and virtuous person. Even the emperor had to respect her.

As expected, Emperor Sheng An quickly explained: "Don't be upset, old lady. I'm here. Who dares to bully the Marquis' wife?"

After he finished speaking, he immediately scolded Concubine De: "You spoke out of turn. I forgive you this time because I think you miss your mother. If you do it again, I will remove the word 'De' from your name!"

Concubine De was so shocked that she was trembling all over. She had known for a long time that the emperor cared a lot about Zhan Yan, but she never expected that he would actually protect his wife!

Just because she said something unpleasant, her virtue is being removed!

It's simply too much!

She took a deep breath and quickly put on an aggrieved look: "Your Majesty, I didn't mean to do that. I came late and didn't know the reason, so I said something unpleasant!"

Emperor Sheng An interrupted impatiently: "If you keep delaying like this, your mother will definitely die at your hands. It's you who has been delaying the time for Doctor Lin to prepare the antidote!"

The sudden words almost made Concubine De stagger.

This crime is too serious, she can't bear it!

She quickly urged, "Doctor Lin, please use the poisonous ice toad as medicine!"

Doctor Lin did not hesitate and quickly took the poisonous ice toad out of the box.

Seeing such an ugly little thing, everyone was so scared that they quickly took a step back.

Doctor Lin was not afraid. He simply cut it open and crushed it for medicine.

In about a cup of tea, a bowl of black medicine was ready.

Doctor Lin brought the medicine to Concubine De and said, "Please, Madam, give the old lady the medicine!"

Concubine De frowned in disgust, but in order to show her filial piety in front of the emperor, she had no choice but to reach out and take it.

The closer she got, the worse the medicine smelled, and the smell almost made her feel nauseous.

She swallowed hard several times before she managed to suppress the discomfort.

She quickly walked up to the Marquis of Huaiyang and said, "Brother, help mother up!"

Marquis Huaiyang nodded hurriedly: "Okay!"

After Mrs. Du took the first sip of the medicine, she didn't have much reaction.

But when she took the second bite, her eyes suddenly opened and a lot of black blood spurted out of her mouth.

Defei was unable to dodge and was sprayed all over her head and face.

She also threw the medicine bowl in her hand, and it hit Mrs. Du's leg directly, burning her and making her scream.

Emperor Sheng An was terrified when he heard this. As the emperor of the current dynasty, he must have seen many rare things.

But this is the first time I’ve seen someone as miserable as Mrs. Du!

He spoke quickly: "What's going on? Is there no effect at all? Doctor Lin, go and take his pulse!"

Doctor Lin hesitated, "Your Majesty, in case the Empress Defei doesn't trust me, please find another doctor!"

Emperor Sheng An frowned and interrupted: "Who dares not to trust you? You are my personal physician!"

Just one sentence made everyone tremble with fear. The emperor almost said, if you don’t believe you, you don’t believe him!

As expected, Concubine De bit her back teeth and said, "Doctor Lin, I trust you. Please take her pulse!"

Doctor Lin then quickly stepped forward and took the pulse pillow and placed it under Madam Du's wrist.

After a moment, he spoke softly, "The medicine is wrong. The antidote I just drank has no effect at all!"

Emperor Sheng An glared at the pale-faced Wueryun and asked, "What explanation does Concubine Yun have?"

Wueryun was not stupid, so how could she not hear that the emperor was protecting Doctor Lin?

At this critical juncture, she absolutely could not question Doctor Lin's medical skills anymore.

Otherwise, the emperor will be angered!

She quickly said, "Maybe Cui'er really took the wrong one. This time Yun'er will go get it herself, so there will definitely be no more accidents!"

She didn't dare hesitate any longer and left in a hurry.

A moment later she returned with a box of slowed ice.

But it was a little different from the last time. This poisonous ice toad looked very small, but its surface was covered with black tumors, which was extremely scary.
