Shi Mei moved even faster, quickly sealing three major acupoints on Hai Ling with silver needles to control the toxins and prevent them from spreading.
Then, a pair of cold, wolf-like eyes stared at Rouge: "Why did you harm Miss? Wasn't Miss good to you? Why did you harm her?"
Rouge looked at it and shook her head in fright: "No, it wasn't me, it wasn't me."
Hai Ling's face turned slightly pale as she stared at Yan Zhi, finding it hard to believe. How could Yan Zhi have poisoned her? It must have been someone else, it must be like that.
The poison in her body didn't make her feel unwell, but if it really was from Rouge, she couldn't accept it no matter what.
She was her family. She had waited so long to see her, and was overjoyed beyond measure. She never doubted or suspected her, even though she had acted irrationally in some ways. She attributed this to amnesia, which explained the difference in her behavior. But why would she poison her? Why?
"It can't be hers, it must be someone else. Mei'er can't be hers."
Hai Ling shook her head in anguish, her face growing paler. Shi Mei ignored her completely and anxiously called out towards the door, "Someone, Miss has been poisoned! Notify the old general immediately!"
The maids outside the door were chatting happily when they heard the voices inside and panicked. "Miss has been poisoned! Miss has been poisoned!"
Everyone shouted and rushed out.
Soon Ji Cong and Ji Shaocheng rushed over. The father and son rushed into the hall and saw that Hai Ling's face was pale and her lips were faintly black, indicating that she had indeed been poisoned.
Ji Cong and Ji Shaocheng panicked and rushed to Hai Ling's side, each holding one of her hands: "Ling'er, Ling'er, how could you be poisoned? How could you be poisoned?"
Shi Mei, calm and aloof, pointed at Yan Zhi: "General, take this person away to investigate. We must obtain the antidote."
It's her.
Ji Cong and Ji Shaocheng's eyes lit up. They pounced on Rouge and dragged her away. Rouge was still screaming, "It wasn't me! It wasn't me, Miss! It really wasn't me!"
Hailin took a few breaths, still unwilling to admit that it was Rouge who had poisoned her.
"Mei'er, it couldn't be her. Don't misunderstand her. She's Rouge. How could she possibly poison me?"
Shi Mei's eyes flashed with heartache. Miss, people can change, but she couldn't say that to Hai Ling because Miss was already in so much pain. If she said anything more, she was afraid Hai Ling would be even more heartbroken.
Shi Mei looked at Fu Yue to the side and said, "Go and call Shen Ruoxuan over immediately."
"yes."
"Shilan, go to the palace and invite the Emperor over."
"No, no, Mei'er, don't alarm the Emperor."
Hai Ling looked at Shi Mei and spoke softly. This was a matter that no ordinary person could bear. Shi Mei dared not act on her own. Tomorrow was the Emperor and Empress's wedding day. Tonight, the Empress was poisoned. If anything happened, their deaths would be a minor matter; the real danger was the loss of the Emperor. Therefore, Shi Mei could not bear such responsibility. She firmly ordered Shi Lan, "Quickly, also get Shi Zhu here. He's knowledgeable about poisons. Have him come and investigate what kind of poison it is."
"Yes," Shi Lan said and quickly left.
At this moment, Hailing felt cold and began to shiver. Shimei reached out and hugged her, saying, "Miss, Miss, you'll be alright."
She didn't have much knowledge about poisons and could only temporarily control their spread, but the poison seemed extremely potent.
Several young maids came in from outside, along with several palace matrons. The room was full of people, all staring in shock at what they saw. The young lady had been poisoned?
No one could imagine what the Emperor would do if something happened to the young lady. Would these people even have a chance to survive?
The entire hall was shrouded in a deathly chill, but Shen Ruoxuan arrived quickly. Shi Mei hurriedly released her mistress, and Shen Ruoxuan stepped forward to examine Hai Ling.
His face grew increasingly gloomy, and his eyes turned fierce and cold.
"What happened? What exactly happened?" Shi Mei was terrified when she saw Shen Ruoxuan's expression. She couldn't help but reach out and grab Shen Ruoxuan's arm tightly. "Tell me, what's wrong with Miss? Is she alright?"
Shi Mei, who was usually fearless, was actually trembling with fear; she was terrified.
"It's the Dragon Tongue from the Southern Feather Kingdom."
Shen Ruoxuan did not hide anything from Shi Mei. While replying, he took out a life-saving pill and fed it to Hai Ling to save her heart.
Hai Ling was still quite conscious, but she felt cold all over, her teeth chattered, and there was a heavy black aura on her lips, which she tried her best to endure.
Upon seeing her appearance, Shi Mei could no longer hold back. She quickly reached out and hugged her tightly, crying, "Shen Ruoxuan, since it is the Dragon Tongue of Nanling Kingdom, you must have a way. Please help Miss detoxify this Dragon Tongue poison."
Shen Ruoxuan shook his head sadly. He had been away from Nanling Kingdom for a long time, so how could he have the antidote for the Dragon Tongue Poison from Nanling Kingdom?
The dragon tongue flower grows in the royal palace of the Southern Feather Kingdom. It is extremely poisonous, blooms continuously throughout the year, and has a wonderful fragrance. Although it is poisonous, its flowers keep the entire palace fragrant. In addition, it is also a good medicine for flavoring. This flower is very precious and can only be found in the royal family.
Although Shen Ruoxuan recognized the poison, he had no antidote because he had been away from Nanling Kingdom for a long time.
I have no antidote.
Upon hearing this, Shi Mei flew into a rage, pounding Chen Ruoxuan's shoulder with her fist: "Why, why? It was something from your Nanling Kingdom! It must have been that bastard Ruan Jingyue who did it! I didn't expect that even after entering the Zhaoyang Prince's Mansion, she still wouldn't give up and would actually try to harm Miss?"
Hailing quickly reached out and grabbed Shimei's hand: "Mei'er, don't blame Shen Ruoxuan, it has nothing to do with him."
"Miss."
Shi Mei withdrew her hand and cried even harder. Her mistress was so kind, why did others always want to harm her? She had never harmed anyone or had any improper thoughts: "Miss, you will be alright. The Emperor is here, he won't let anything happen to you. Mei'er still wants to serve you."
"Thank you, Mei."
Looking at the scene before him, Shen Ruoxuan felt tormented and angrily blamed himself. Why hadn't he noticed that there was an antidote for the Dragon Tongue in Nanling Kingdom? Over the years, he had been studying medicine but had rarely dealt with poisons.
Inside the room, not only Shi Mei and Shen Ruoxuan, but also the maids were all crying.
Outside the door, Ji Cong and Ji Shaocheng rushed in, calling out, "Ling'er, Ling'er!"
As soon as the two of them entered, Shi Mei seemed to see a glimmer of hope: "How is it? Did you hand over the rouge? Where's the antidote? Where's the antidote?"
Ji Shaocheng, his eyes bloodshot, screamed wildly, "There's no antidote! She said Ruan Jingyue gave her the poison to poison Ling'er."
