Lin Yiwan shook her head, and Meng Yunshang burst into tears. "Mom, how are you? Wanwan, please help my mom. She's been bitten by a poisonous snake!"
Lin Yiwan quickly sealed her vital points and found that the wound on Mrs. Meng's body from the snake bite had turned black and was spreading rapidly.
King Li's pupils contracted violently. He gritted his teeth and said, "This is the most poisonous snake in Cangliang Mountain. It's called Duan Ming!"
Meng Yunshang immediately burst into tears: "Mom, Mom, don't scare me!"
Madam Meng weakly comforted her, "Don't cry, Yunshang. Life and death are determined by fate. As long as you are not hurt, it's enough for me to have lived half my life!"
She had already guessed from the name of the venomous snake that she would definitely not survive this time.
King Li quickly asked, "Where did this poisonous snake come from?"
The old woman beside him, trembling with fear, quickly replied, "It's inside the mahogany box, lying on the fireworks!"
King Li went to check in person and found that there was no trace of the poisonous snake.
That is to say, only that one!
At this moment, Lin Yiwan spoke anxiously: "Someone, go and get Mu Yi here!"
Soon a young man in plain clothes hurried over, followed by a little girl holding a wooden box.
He asked in surprise, "Madam Hou, what do you want from me?"
Lin Yiwan anxiously asked, "Can you cure this fatal snake venom?"
Mu Yi gasped when he heard this: "Death? A kind of black-scaled snake from Cangliang Mountain?"
Lin Yiwan nodded hurriedly: "Yes!"
Mu Yi didn't say whether he could solve the problem or not, he just took the sharp dagger and rushed towards Mrs. Meng.
Meng Yunshang was startled, and she subconsciously asked, "What are you going to do?"
Lin Yiwan quickly explained: "Don't worry, Yunchang, his name is Mu Yi, and he's a very powerful poison master. Let him take a look at your mother first!"
Meng Yunshang then stepped aside, and hope rose in her eyes.
At this time, Mrs. Meng's entire arm had turned blue-black, and the snake venom spread so quickly that it was alarming.
Mu Yi frowned and said, "If the dark blue color spreads to the heart, then there's no way to save him. So now is the best time to treat him. However, my method of detoxification is a bit scary. You have to leave first. I'm afraid of scaring you!"
Lin Yiwan said, "They can go out and wait, but I have to stay inside!"
Mu Yi shook his head: "Madam Hou, the things I use will harm pregnant women, you must not keep them!"
Just when Lin Yiwan was in a dilemma, a sharp voice suddenly rang out from outside: "My wife has been bitten by a poisonous snake, so naturally I must stay by her side!"
"Father!" Meng Yunshang burst into tears when she saw him.
Meng Zuoxiang comforted him gently: "Don't be afraid, Shang'er, your father is here!"
Meng Zuoxiang strode into the house, while Xiao Rui and Zhan Yan were waiting outside.
Mu Yi didn't even leave his sister in the house, which was enough to show that the thing he used to detoxify was really dangerous.
Taking advantage of this time, King Li and Zhan Yan investigated how Duan Ming appeared in the box.
Zhan Yan asked Meng Yunshang, "Miss Meng, have you ever opened this box since you got it from your uncle?"
She nodded heavily: "It has been opened. We are going to give Madam Lin a dowry gift, so of course we have to check if there is anything damaged!"
Zhan Yan asked again: "Then no poisonous snake was found at that time?"
Meng Yunshang smiled bitterly: "If they found out, wouldn't we be bitten? My mother and I checked it carefully and there was nothing wrong. That's why we sealed the box and carried it to the Zhan Yihou Mansion this morning!"
Zhan Yan looked at Prince Li and said, "Perhaps someone opened the box and put the venomous snake inside in the middle of the night. However, the Left Prime Minister's Mansion is not like an ordinary household. It's not that easy to sneak in!"
At this time, the old maid who was carrying the box quickly spoke up: "My Lord, I just remembered something. Just now, when we were carrying the box off the carriage, a few beggars suddenly rushed over to ask for money. We pestered them for a while, and after giving them a few copper coins, they sent them away!"
Zhan Yan frowned immediately. How could there be beggars lingering around Zhan Yihou's mansion? He was afraid that they were blocking the maids' view. That's why he stuffed Duan Ming into the gift box.
He quickly ordered Yinghun to go out and investigate, and soon he returned to report: "I asked the beggar leader, and no beggars came to the gate of Marquis Zhan Yi's mansion this morning to ask for rewards. However, their people saw a few ragged men sneaking into the backyard of Pei's mansion!"
A chilling coldness suddenly flashed across Prince Li's eyes. He said in a cold voice, "My men have watched Zhao Xiaoyu leave the capital overnight. It's impossible that she did this!"
Xiao Rui couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that she left the venomous snake behind and let someone else handle this? For example, Madam Pei San?"
He paused and explained, "After all, the only person in the Pei Mansion who could have found the poisonous snake from Cangliang Mountain was Zhao Xiaoyu. She holds a grudge against Madam Hou and Princess Li, so she's out for revenge. This makes sense!"
Prince Li frowned, he always felt that things were not that simple.
He turned to look at Lin Yiwan: "Wanwan, besides Zhao Xiaoyu and Pei Saisai, who else do you have a grudge against in the Pei family?"
Lin Yiwan suddenly remembered, Pei Ke!
She quickly replied, "And Pei Ke, the mistress who used to be with ***, I exposed his scheme, and he was executed by ***!"
Prince Li frowned and pondered, "It's not ruled out that someone is trying to kill someone with someone else's knife. No matter what, this matter is ultimately related to the Pei family!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Zuoxiang suddenly pushed the door open and walked out.
He gritted his teeth and said, "I will go to the palace and ask the emperor to order a search of the Pei family!"
Seeing tears glistening in his eyes, Lin Yiwan knew that Madam Meng must have suffered a great crime.
After all, this is a snake venom for which there is no antidote in the world, so I'm afraid other methods can only be used to remove the poison.
Xiao Rui quickly stepped forward and said, "Prime Minister, I will go to the palace with you!"
Meng Xiang shook his head: "You stay with Yun Shang, I will definitely be able to obtain an imperial decree to avenge your mother-in-law!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
Prince Li immediately stopped him and said, "Qingshan, I'm with you. After all, this matter involves Lin Su and Wan Wan, and I can't stay out of it!"
Meng Xiang bowed respectfully: "Thank you, Your Highness!"
When the two arrived at the palace, they were brought directly to Emperor Sheng'an by Li Delu.
He asked in shock: "Uncle, why did you enter the palace with Meng Xiang? What happened?"
Before Prince Li could even open his mouth, Prime Minister Meng immediately knelt on the ground and shouted, "Your Majesty, I beg you to seek justice. My wife was bitten by a poisonous snake, and all signs indicate that it was the Pei family's doing. Therefore, I request a decree to thoroughly investigate the Pei Mansion!"
Emperor Sheng An's expression suddenly changed, and he subconsciously asked, "How is your wife doing now?"
When Meng Xiang thought of Mu Yi's method of removing poison, he was immediately filled with hatred.
He said sadly, "That's a venomous snake called the Death Snake that lives in Cangliang Mountain. It's said that anyone bitten by it will die. Luckily, there's a poison master at the Marquis's mansion. He placed a venomous spider into the wound, letting it burrow into the skin and flesh and suck out all the poison bit by bit!"
