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

He said quickly, "Meng Xiang, I suddenly came up with an idea. Should we go borrow a wooden ladder from nearby?"

Meng Xiang patted his head, wondering why he hadn't thought of this idea.

He hurriedly urged: "Then go quickly!"

The people living around the palace are all powerful and wealthy, so it is very easy to find a wooden ladder.

Soon, a servant helped Li Delu carry the wooden ladder over.

Meng Xiang stepped up first and stuck half of his head out to look inside the courtyard wall.

Li Delu asked from below: "Prime Minister, what did you see? Tell me now!"

Meng Xiang replied subconsciously: "I noticed that this yard is empty!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped.

He said awkwardly, "My Lord, are you all here, Marquis Zhan Yi?"

He saw Prince Li and Zhan Yan standing under the eaves with their hands behind their backs, staring at him with complicated eyes.

Prince Li was the first to speak: "I never thought Meng Xiang had the habit of climbing over other people's walls? This really broadened my horizons!"

Meng Lian hurriedly explained, "Your Highness, please forgive me. I came here on the emperor's orders to gather information. After all, the emperor and the entire court are very worried after being locked up for three days!"

Prince Li frowned and interrupted, "Go back and tell them that I'm fine. It's just that a few of the little ones in the mansion are unwell, so I'm closing the door to visitors!"

Meng Xiangqing knew that things were definitely not that simple, but he was definitely not a talkative person.

He nodded immediately and quickly withdrew his head.

Li Delu was still looking down, asking worriedly, "Prince Meng, what did the prince and Marquis Zhan Yi say?"

Meng Xiang replied absentmindedly, "They say that a few of the little ones in the mansion are unwell. Let's hurry back and report to the emperor!"

The two men climbed the ladder and hurried back to the palace to report.

When Emperor Sheng An heard the reason why Meng Xiang was taken back, he froze.

He quickly dismissed his attendants and glared fiercely at Meng Xiang: "Have you also noticed something is wrong?"

Meng Xiang spoke in a daze, "Your Majesty, Prince Li and Marquis Zhan Yi have been staying indoors, so they must have their reasons. We can only wait and see what happens!"

Emperor Sheng An murmured worriedly, "I just hope they can get through this crisis safely. No matter what, I have to help them withstand the pressure from outside!"

Meng Xiang echoed, "And this old minister, this old minister must also quickly quell those rumors below. We can't let them speculate any more!"

Here, Emperor Sheng An and Prime Minister Meng were comforting the court officials, while Lin Yiwan, who was away from the palace, was also working hard to prepare a special antidote for rat poison.

Because the butler was taken care of by a servant when he fell ill, he was also infected with rat poison.

His illness progressed surprisingly quickly. In just half a day, black blood began to flow from his mouth and nose.

Even if Lin Yiwan gave him acupuncture to stop the bleeding, it was of no use.

She didn't dare to delay and immediately fed him the half packet of antidote she had just developed.

His condition had improved, but his lungs were still wheezing like bellows.

Lin Yiwan immediately understood that although the antidote was effective, its efficacy was minimal.

How can this be good?

If she fails to prepare the special medicine in time, the entire Li Wang Mansion will fall into an abyss of no return.

She closed her eyes tightly and quickly suppressed her anxiety.

She remembered her grandfather who had gone to the Medical Valley for retreat, and she quickly took out a pen and paper and described in detail all the symptoms of the housekeeper's illness.

In the letter, she asked him if he had ever seen this condition in a book and whether there was any timely and effective treatment.

After she finished writing, she asked the messenger to send it to the Medical Valley immediately.

Around midnight, not only did the messenger come back, but even the old doctor Lin arrived with his medicine box.

He asked anxiously, "Wanwan, are you sure it's rat poison?"

Lin Yiwan nodded solemnly, "Yes, the entire Li Palace is heavily guarded right now, so there haven't been any leaks yet. But if we don't find the special medicine, I'm afraid our Sheng Dynasty will be in danger!"

Doctor Lin sighed helplessly, "Medical books record that there was a rat poison outbreak in the Southland before. No one in the entire city survived. A fire burned for about ten days and ten nights before it burned all the bodies in the city!"

Lin Yiwan couldn't help but take a breath. She absolutely didn't want the capital to fall into such a miserable situation.

She asked anxiously, "Grandfather, you've read so many medical books, but there's no treatment for rat poison?"

Old Doctor Lin spoke with a blazing gaze, "Wanwan, you're right, this time Grandfather really found a very strange medical book, but the treatment methods recorded in it are incredible. Take a look first!"

He took out a blue booklet and handed it to her solemnly.

Lin Yiwan quickly flipped through the document and after a moment, she asked suspiciously, "It says that a type of penicillin extracted from moldy food can easily neutralize rat poison?"

Doctor Lin nodded heavily: "Yes, but I have tried several times without success, and I don't know what went wrong!"

Lin Yiwan knew that this was the only way and could only try her best.

She and the old doctor Lin worked tirelessly for several days and nights, and finally made a small porcelain bottle of medicine.

Ignoring her red eyes, she immediately put the potion bottle into the mouth of the servant who was barely breathing.

About half an hour later, the two finally saw that his mental state had improved significantly.

Lin Yiwan was almost crying with joy. She said in a trembling voice, "Grandpa, we succeeded! We found the antidote for rat poison!"

Old Doctor Lin was also very excited. He really didn't expect that he would see an antidote for rat poison in his lifetime.

After all, he was old, and coupled with the hard journey back, he was so overwhelmed with joy and sorrow that he fainted from the shock.

Lin Yiwan quickly ordered someone to help him to the next side room to rest. After making sure that he was fine, she returned to the servant to check on the situation.

At this time, the people near the palace did not know that a woman's body had inexplicably appeared on a farm very close to the capital.

Someone reported the matter to the Dali Temple, and Lin Ran took people to investigate.

When he came back, he fell ill.

He originally thought it was just a common cold, but it wasn't until he started bleeding from his mouth and nose that he realized the seriousness of the situation.

Fortunately, after he realized that something was wrong with his body, he did not return to the Lin Mansion, otherwise, the pregnant Sang Qiutang would have been infected.

The Dali Temple did not dare to conceal the news and first reported it to Sang Qiutang, and then she hurried to Li Wangfu.

She hadn't seen Lin Ran since he fell ill, so she was very anxious at the moment.

She arrived at the gate of Li Wang Mansion and knocked on the door heavily.

Not long after, Lin Yiwan came out to greet him personally. She asked in surprise, "Qiu Tang, why are you here? Didn't I tell you that I have something to do at the palace these days and can't see any guests?"
