Lin Yiwan nodded and quickly stepped forward to check on Lu Qingyu's condition.
I saw that his pulse was extremely weak and his eyes were completely closed.
Lin Yiwan took a breath of cold air. Fortunately, she came early, otherwise, Lu Qingyu would never be saved.
Normally, after a dying person takes a life-extending pill, his pulse will beat as vigorously as that of a healthy person. However, Lu Qingyu's pulse is now stagnant and slow, as if it will stop at any time.
Lin Yiwan quickly took a silver needle and pierced the skin on his wrist. When blood came out, she saw a hint of blue-black.
Yinghun was knowledgeable and experienced, so he subconsciously asked, "Madam, is Master Lu poisoned?"
Lin Yiwan nodded: "This poison will counteract the medicinal properties of the life-extending pills. Not only will it not save his life, it may even hasten his death. I must detoxify him now!"
Yinghun looked outside and saw that Zhan Yan and Duke Lu had already arrived at the yard.
He reminded quietly: "Why don't you ask the Marquis to invite the Duke of Lu to come and let him see you remove the poison from his son with his own eyes? Otherwise, you won't even have a witness!"
Lin Yiwan was silent for a moment before she said softly, "Go and invite them!"
Zhan Yan quickly brought Duke Lu into the room. When he saw Lin Yiwan, he was shocked. He asked in confusion, "Marquis Zhan Yi, what do you mean?"
Lin Yiwan said coldly, "Duke Lu, do you know that your son will die soon?"
Duke Lu's face instantly turned livid with rage. He glared at Zhan Yan, "Zhan Yihou, you are so bold! You actually used the imperial edict to come and harm the Duke Ying's mansion, and even allowed your wife to curse my son! I will go to the palace and complain to the Emperor, and have him bring you to justice!"
Zhan Yan said slowly: "Okay, go and see if the emperor will punish me for what you said!"
The Duke of England suddenly stopped in his tracks. He knew better than anyone that the status of the Duke of England's Mansion was no longer what it used to be.
Even if he really went to the emperor to seek justice, it would probably be in vain.
After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and scolded: "Zhan Yan, you are so arrogant because of your favor!"
Zhan Yanshu said, "This marquis's pride and favor were earned through fighting on the battlefield. Even if the Duke of England is angry, he can only hold it back!"
"you!"
The Duke of England was so choked that he couldn't utter a word of rebuttal!
He could only glare at Lin Yiwan in dissatisfaction: "What nonsense are you talking about? My son just took the life-extending pill and he's alive and well, isn't he?"
Lin Yiwan shook her head. "Life-extending pills are quite effective for people with common illnesses, but your son has been poisoned. Not only will it not prolong his life, it will even kill him faster!"
The Duke of England stared in disbelief, "How is that possible? My son is just sick, how can he be poisoned? Don't talk nonsense!"
Lin Yiwan didn't expect him to believe it immediately, but showed him the silver needle that had been dyed dark blue.
Duke Ying's entire body was trembling. He shook his head stubbornly and said, "I still can't believe it. When my son first fell ill, I asked your grandfather to examine him, but he couldn't find the cause. Are you more capable than him?"
Lin Yiwan explained in a serious tone, "The reason my grandfather didn't find out is because the poison is so hidden that it can only be revealed when it reacts with certain drugs. For example, the life-extending pill is made from dozens of medicinal herbs that strengthen the body and replenish the essence. For the eldest son, it is a deadly poison!"
Duke Ying gritted his teeth. Without hesitation, he quickly walked over to Lu Qingyu and whispered, "Yu'er? How do you feel?"
Lu Qingyu struggled to open his eyes and murmured, "Father, I feel so bad. I feel like a huge rock is pressing on my heart. It's so heavy that I can't breathe. Am I dying?"
Lu Dongnan's eyes suddenly turned red, and he quickly shook his head: "No, you took the life-extending pill that your mother spent 15,000 taels of silver to buy, how could you die so easily? Cheer up, you will get through it!"
A trace of guilt flashed in Lu Qingyu's eyes. He raised his skinny fingers, tightly grasped Lu Dongnan's wrist and said, "Father, I originally wanted to take this secret to the grave, but seeing that you trust her so much, I don't want you to be deceived anymore!"
Lu Dongnan looked at him in shock: "What do you mean? Yu'er, who has deceived your father?"
Lu Qingyu turned to look at Lin Yiwan: "Madam Hou, since you are such a great doctor, you should be able to make me speak more easily, right?"
Lin Yiwan nodded: "Yes, I can!"
She quickly stepped forward and swiftly inserted a silver needle into the vital point on his heart.
Lu Qingyu suddenly felt his breathing ease. He took a quick breath and narrowed his eyes greedily.
Zhan Yan spoke at the right time: "Since you and your son want to talk about something private, then my husband and I will go out and wait!"
Lu Qingyu immediately interrupted: "No, I believe in the character of Marquis Zhan Yi. My father is confused by his position. I hope you and your wife can be his witnesses in the future!"
Lu Dongnan hurriedly urged: "Son, what do you want to say? Are you trying to make me die of anxiety?"
Lu Qingyu licked his cracked lips, and a trace of sadness flashed across the depths of his dark eyes.
He knew that his father might not be able to bear the blow if he said these words.
However, a short pain is worse than a long one, and he must tell his father the truth.
Otherwise, even if he died, he would not be able to rest in peace.
He said in a trembling voice, "Father, that woman is not the dignified, polite, and loving mother you described. More than ten years ago, she once took advantage of me being drunk, sneaked into my room, and spent the whole night with me!"
If Zhan Yan had not grabbed Lu Dongnan's arm tightly, he would have fallen headfirst to the ground after hearing these words.
He widened his eyes in horror: "How is it possible? She is your stepmother!"
A sneer appeared on Lu Qingyu's lips. "So what if she's my stepmother? You only said that there is a stepmother in this world who can clean up the diapers of her sick son, but you don't know how her hands have abused me!"
Lu Dongnan was completely stunned. He couldn't believe that the woman was so brazen.
Lu Qingyu's face turned terribly red because of anger.
He pounded the bed hard and yelled, "Father, she was so sure I wouldn't dare tell you this, that's why she's so unscrupulous. Can't you see how strange my illness is? How could I suddenly fall ill after moving out of the Duke's Mansion? It's all her fault. She also put the poison in my body!"
Lu Dongnan shook his head subconsciously: "Impossible, you must be hysterical. Before she married, she was the Princess Shude, personally appointed by the late emperor. She was a royal lady and was taught strict rules. How could she do such an immoral thing?"
Lu Qingyu closed his eyes in disappointment. He thought that his father would not believe it. What else could he expect?
