Chapter 4 Regent
Seeing that it was still early, Yunwei quickly called for help and headed to the Regent's Palace.
However, the Prince's mansion was heavily guarded, and the carriage was stopped before it even reached the gate.
Manager Ding quickly jumped off the carriage, bowed and said, "Gentlemen, the person in the carriage is the owner of our Qianjin Pavilion. Because your family recently invited our doctor away and he has not returned for many days, the owner is very worried. He is afraid that Doctor Qin's medical skills are shallow and may have offended your esteemed guests, so he has come here to apologize."
Upon hearing that it was the owner of Qianjin Pavilion, the soldiers' solemn expressions flashed with surprise.
In the capital, who doesn't know Qianjin Pavilion?
However, no one has ever seen the company behind it.
And now, the owner of Qianjin Pavilion is actually in the carriage?
For a moment, the leading soldier hesitated.
Because the mansion had indeed recently hired a doctor from the Qianjin Pavilion.
Seeing the soldier hesitate, Steward Ding lowered his voice and said, "This soldier might as well consult with our master, whose detoxification skills are superior to those of Doctor Qin."
Upon hearing this, the leading soldier's expression changed, and he said, "Wait here," before quickly leaving.
While sitting in the carriage, Yunwei didn't sit idle; she read through all the account books that Steward Ding had brought.
Soon, the soldier returned, bringing with him a young man in light armor.
"Is the owner of Qianjin Pavilion in the carriage?" the young man asked in a deep voice.
“That’s right.” Steward Ding nodded quickly.
The young man glanced at the quiet carriage, then suddenly took two steps closer and lifted the curtain.
When he saw Yun Wei inside, he frowned, his expression turning somewhat grim. "It's a woman?"
Yun Wei glanced at him indifferently, "So what if she's a woman? Isn't your master's poison cured?"
The young man's expression changed. How did the other party know that his master had been poisoned?
Yunwei noticed the unusual expression on his face.
It seems that she guessed correctly.
The person who was poisoned was the regent.
She didn't say anything more and just looked down at the account book.
After a moment of internal struggle, the young man fixed his sharp, hawk-like gaze on Yun Wei and warned, "You can still leave now."
"Since I dared to come, I dare to bear the consequences." Yun Wei was not afraid at all.
The young man sneered, "Then come with me into the manor."
Yunwei understood what the other party meant.
If she cannot cure the Regent, she will have to leave her life in the Regent's Palace.
But since she dared to come, she must have been confident that she could escape unscathed.
However, the guard's attitude made her even more certain that the poison the regent had been given was extremely troublesome.
Before long, Yunwei was led by the young man to a place called Yan Huitang.
The Yan Hui Hall was heavily guarded, and everyone who passed by held their breath and remained solemn.
Yunwei followed the young man into the inner room.
"Why is it a woman?"
As soon as she entered, a eunuch stood up, and his reaction to Yunwei was exactly the same as that of the guard.
"So what if she's a woman? Don't you want your master to be well?"
The young guard, who was at odds with the eunuch, retorted using Yunwei's words.
"you!"
The eunuch choked.
Yunwei ignored them and continued forward.
Inside the room, the curtains were drawn low, and on the large bed lay a pale-faced but handsome young man.
The person's eyes were closed, and their long eyelashes were like fans. They were quiet and still, presumably unconscious.
Yun Wei couldn't help but take another look. This was Rong Zhen, the Regent, second only to the Emperor?
Rumor has it that he is ruthless and decisive, capable of controlling everything, but at this moment, he can only lie in bed, quietly asleep.
Even in his slumber, the young man exuded a noble and imposing aura.
Qingfeng spoke up from the side, warning, "I already warned you, if you can't cure my master's illness, you won't have a chance to leave here."
"Mm," Yun Wei responded faintly.
Then, she composed herself, sat down by the bed, and took the man's pulse.
Qingfeng stood with his sword in his arms, and the eunuch in front of him followed him in and stood with him, looking at Yunwei.
Seeing Yunwei's skillful technique, he couldn't help but be somewhat surprised.
This girl actually knows medicine?
A moment later, Yunwei got up and took out the needle case she was carrying.
The needle kit was opened, revealing rows of silver needles of varying lengths.
After taking out a silver needle, Yunwei instructed, "Bring over a candlestick."
"Wait, are you going to give our master acupuncture?" the eunuch asked.
"Hmm, what's the problem?" Yunwei asked in return.
The eunuch paused.
This question was asked.
Of course there are big problems.
"You didn't even explain my master's condition before you started giving him acupuncture?" the eunuch said angrily. His master was of noble birth; how could he be allowed to have acupuncture done so casually?
Yunwei saw the anger on his face and said calmly, "The poison that the Regent was poisoned with is called Yin Breath, which is a poison that can kill off offspring. This poison was inflicted on the Regent when he was young. At first, the person who is poisoned does not have any reaction, except that he cannot have sex with others.
But this poison is actually extremely insidious. It devours a person's life essence without their knowledge, and in its final stages, the victim often falls into a coma. If the antidote isn't administered in time, death is inevitable. And this time, your master has likely been unconscious for several days.”
Tai Lin and Qing Feng were shocked to hear this.
"Sure?"
“You serve the Regent closely, so you should know very well whether his condition is as I described,” Yun Wei said calmly.
The two were silent.
This is because their master has frequently fallen into a coma over the past year.
At first, he would only be unconscious for a short while, but as time went on, the time it took for him to wake up from each coma became longer.
Especially this time.
The master has been unconscious for five days.
They searched for renowned doctors but could not diagnose what was wrong with their master's body, so they concluded that he had been poisoned, which is why they sought out Doctor Qin from Qianjin Pavilion.
Unexpectedly, even Dr. Qin, who was skilled in detoxification, was at a loss.
After a long pause, Qingfeng frowned and said, "But the other doctors can't make a diagnosis either..."
Yunwei noticed the other party's doubts and explained, "This cannot be blamed on them. Yin Qi is the top of the ten most potent poisons. It has long been lost to history, and there are not many people in the world who know about it today."
"Then how do you know?" Qingfeng blurted out. The other person was much younger than those doctors, and those doctors didn't know anything, yet she knew so much. It was really suspicious.
"You don't need to know why I know," Yun Wei said calmly. "Take the candlestick!"
Although Qingfeng and the eunuch still had doubts, their master had been in a coma for many days, and many doctors had been seen, but none of them could explain the cause.
If things continue like this, they fear they won't be able to cover up the poisoning of their master, and then the court infighting will inevitably reignite.
Since this woman can see that her master is poisoned, let's trust her for now.
If she dared to harm her master, they could kill her immediately.
Immediately, the two dared not delay any longer and fetched the candlesticks as instructed.
Yunwei heated the silver needles over the fire for a while, then sat down again by the bed. Just as she was about to insert the needles, her wrist was suddenly gripped by a hand that seemed to be made of iron!
