Chapter 57 He knows medical skills
The two looked at each other, frowned, and instantly tensed up. They stood up and walked out of the lotus pond.

The maid who was walking towards them looked at the two wet people and was suddenly startled. She said, "Your Highness Prince Ye, did Miss Sheng fall into the lotus pond?"

Sheng Yunqing ignored him and asked the maid, "What's going on? Has anyone been poisoned?"

The maid came back to her senses suddenly and said to Sheng Yunqing in panic, "It was the young master. The young master drank a mouthful of wine from the glass and fell to the ground!"

Sheng Yunqing's heart suddenly tightened. On such a happy day, someone actually wanted to poison the groom. Could it be that Sheng Qiuyao had become a widow right after getting married? !
The wet skirts were heavy, and on the way there, Sheng Yunqing had already chanted a spell to dry their clothes. When they reached the front hall, there was no longer the lively and cheerful atmosphere. Everyone's face turned pale with fear and they dared not breathe.

“Wow…Sister Yunqing, I’m scared…” Ye Qianning ran over crying and threw herself into Sheng Yunqing’s arms.

Sheng Yunqing touched her head soothingly and patted her back.

Ye Qianning sniffed gently. Why did Sister Yunqing smell like her Seventh Brother?

Ming Xuanchu fell beside Bai Qianci with a dark face. Bai Qianci said to the guard beside him: "Did you remember? Go and get the medicine as I said!"

After saying that, he called the accompanying guard over, took out the acupuncture bag, and inserted the silver needles into his acupuncture points. After a while, Ming Xuanchu spat out a mouthful of black blood, and his complexion instantly looked much better.

The guards were ordered to bring some crushed herbs and stuffed them into Ming Xuanchu's mouth. Everyone held their breath for a long time, and Ming Xuanchu finally slowly opened his eyes.

Sheng Yunqing glanced at Bai Qianci and murmured, "I didn't know he knew medical skills..."

Bai Qianci exhaled a breath and said to the anxious Prime Minister Ming: "Prime Minister, it's okay. Brother Xuanchu is fine now."

Ming Xuanchu broke out in a cold sweat out of fear. After a long time, he sat stiffly in the chair with empty eyes, and it seemed that his heart had not yet fully recovered.

Ye Jinchen walked over, and everyone made way for him to sit in the main seat.

When Sheng Yukun saw Sheng Yunqing, he quickly walked towards her and said seriously: "Qian Ci was sitting next to Xuan Chu just now, so he was able to notice it at the first time. If he hadn't drunk much, I'm afraid Xuan Chu would have..."

Sheng Yunqing nodded and said, "I heard about it from the maid on the way. How is it? Does Qiuyao know about it?"

Sheng Yukun shook his head and said, "Yao'er is in the room. I have already told her not to tell her. It's a happy day, so it's better not to know about such an unlucky thing."

Hearing this, Sheng Yunqing exhaled lightly, nodded, and gradually clenched his fists, saying: "What a vicious heart, wanting to harm people, and choosing this day..."

She concentrated and suddenly realized something. She turned around and looked up at the sky. A black evil spirit was already fleeing into the distance.

"Your Highness, please help me and Xuanchu. My son has suffered an unexpected disaster on his wedding day. He is really innocent and pitiful..." Prime Minister Ming said with a sad face.

Ye Jinchen nodded and said, "Bring the patrol dog."

The guards of the palace took the order: "Yes."

After some operations, there was a sudden loud barking of dogs in the crowd, and everyone turned their heads to look.

The guard, leading the trained dog, stopped in front of the prime minister's eldest son Li Shang.

Li Shang was stunned for a moment, then looked at everyone in fear and said, "No, it's not me... it's... it's..."

He seemed to have thought of something, and the scene of himself taking out the medicine powder from his arms and mixing it into Ming Xuanchu's wine glass came to his mind.

He looked at his hands tremblingly, wanting only to slap himself hard. Why...why did he want to harm Ming Xuanchu?
Seeing this, the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion wanted to search him, but were stopped by Prime Minister Li: "How dare you! Li Shang is the Prime Minister's son, how can others question and search him at will?"

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Ming's face darkened and he said in a low voice, "Prime Minister, this concerns my son's life. If you have no guilt in your heart, why are you afraid of being searched? If your son is innocent, I will apologize on a chosen day."

"you!"

The Prime Minister of Ming had a gloomy face and, ignoring Prime Minister Li's objection, he winked at the guards.

The guard lowered his head and said, "Master Li, I'm sorry."

After he finished speaking, the two of them quickly searched his body, and in a short while they found the foreign object hidden in the secret pocket of his sleeve.

After taking it out, a porcelain bottle was opened and given to the dog on the ground to sniff, and the dog immediately let out an excited bark.

Suddenly, everyone was in an uproar.

Prime Minister Li was panic-stricken. He said to Li Shang, "What's going on? You must have been framed. It's not you, right?" He turned to Prime Minister Ming and said, "My son and I have no grudges against each other. Why did you frame your son? Someone must have deliberately framed you!"

"No! It's not me! It's me! Ah! No!" Li Shang held his head in pain.

The drug seemed to have appeared in his body out of thin air, but he found it difficult to deny the memory of its existence.

He had no idea why he wanted to poison him, but he...he did it!
Seeing his appearance, Prime Minister Li was stunned. He slapped Li Shang hard and said, "Rebellious son! Do you know what you are doing?!"

Li Shang's legs went limp and he fell to the ground in a daze.

"I heard earlier that Master Li sent someone to the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion to ask for the second Miss Sheng's hand in marriage, but was rejected. Today is the day that the second Miss Sheng is getting married. Could it be that... Master Li wants to take revenge?"

Everyone started speculating.

"No!" Li Shang argued feebly, "Although I proposed marriage to Second Miss Sheng, I didn't know Second Miss Sheng before. Even if I broke off the engagement, I wouldn't hold a grudge against Ming Xuanchu who married Second Miss Sheng!"

"Wait a moment." Sheng Yunqing thought of the evil spirit that had just escaped, and walked quickly to him. Seeing him sweating, his lips were pale, and his face was pale from exhaustion, he reached out and touched his forehead, frowned, and said, "He has been possessed by an evil spirit."

"What?" Prime Minister Li was shocked. After realizing what was happening, he immediately nodded and said, "That's right! This must not be his intention!"

Prime Minister Ming clenched his fists and said, "Who can prove whether he is possessed by an evil spirit? Miss Sheng has no evidence, so it is hard to say whether she is intentionally covering up for him."

"Prime Minister, please stop slandering my Yunqing." Sheng Yukun said with a frown.

"I guarantee that Miss Sheng is not that kind of person." Ye Jinchen spoke.

Prime Minister Ming wanted to say something else, but Ye Jinchen said, "Ms. Sheng is the eldest sister of Miss Sheng, after all. Would she help a stranger to frame her brother-in-law?"

After hearing this, everyone felt that it made some sense and nodded.

"This princess can also guarantee that Sister Yunqing would not talk nonsense. She has previously helped me to expel the evil spirit from my body. Sister Yunqing can tell whether he is possessed or not." Ye Qianning said, holding Sheng Yunqing's arm.

"Father, I believe Miss Sheng." Ming Xuanchu was still a little weak. He looked at Li Shang and said, "Li Shang was my good classmate in the Imperial College. I know him very well. I believe it was not him who did it."
