Chapter 185 Poisoning
Chapter 185 Poisoning

"Father, the medicine is ready. Please drink it while it's hot."

Liu Lian prepared the warming and nourishing prescription prescribed by Hua Yuan, and while carefully helping Liu Bowen up, he fed him the medicine.

…………

The next day, before Ye Xuan got up, someone knocked hard on his door.

"Who is it?" Ye Xuan woke up in a bad mood.

Wang Feihu's somewhat helpless voice came from outside the door: "Sir, Sir Liu..."

Before he could finish his words, Liu Lian's urgent voice was heard.

"Captain Ye, my father's condition suddenly worsened last night for some unknown reason. Please help and go take a look at him as soon as possible."

"What!" Not long after, Ye Xuan suddenly opened the door, and without bothering to talk to Liu Lian, he walked straight out of the courtyard.

Liu Lian and Wang Feihu also hurriedly followed, "Master Ye, what is going on?"

Ye Xuan walked quickly while asking, "Didn't he say he was much better last night? And Hua Yuan checked Lord Chengyi's pulse and confirmed that he was indeed much better!"

"Yeah, so when I saw my father fainted this morning, I immediately panicked. What on earth was going on?"

It can be seen that Liu Lian is indeed a brat, with tears coming out.

Seeing this, Ye Xuan comforted him, "Don't worry, let me take a look first."

The group walked hurriedly and soon arrived at the courtyard where Liu Bowen was recuperating.

"When did this symptom start?" Ye Xuan flipped over Liu Bowen's eyelids and saw that his pupils contracted slightly, and he felt a little relieved.

Although Liu Bowen was already unconscious, with the help of the limited medical knowledge from his previous life, Ye Xuan knew that as long as the pupils could still contract, it proved that the condition was not yet so serious that it was beyond imagination.

Liu Lian stammered and couldn't explain clearly. He only said that he was fine before taking the medicine last night. After taking the medicine, he helped Liu Bowen to sleep.

"Take medicine? What medicine?" Ye Xuan was confused.

"It's the warming and nourishing prescription prescribed by Imperial Doctor Hua, and you, Lord Ye, also agreed with it at that time." Liu Lian said.

Ye Xuan's heart suddenly sank, thinking to himself that this was not good.

Historically, although Liu Bowen's condition was not optimistic at first, it was relatively stable before the imperial physician's diagnosis and treatment. However, after the imperial physician prescribed medicine, his condition suddenly took a turn for the worse and he died soon after.

Is it true that even if I intervene, I will not be able to change the course of history?
However, if it was really Doctor Hua who did it, it would be a bit too bold.

Not to mention that Liu Bowen's condition had greatly improved after reading his own information, it would be too suspicious to take action at this time.

Even if they succeeded in the end, they would soon be discovered by Liu Lian and the Zhejiang East Group in the court who were on good terms with Liu Bowen. When the matter was investigated, Huayuan would definitely not suffer any consequences.

Just when they were at a loss, Hu Weiyong and Hua Yuan also rushed over after hearing the news.

"What happened to Lao Liu? Wasn't he fine yesterday?"

As soon as Hu Weiyong came in, he said anxiously.

He looked extremely worried about Liu Bowen's safety, and if you didn't know him, you would think he was a close friend of many years.

Hua Yuan looked surprised and wanted to go forward to take the patient's pulse.

But at this moment, Liu Lian pushed him away and angrily shouted, "You traitor, what kind of prescription did you prescribe for my father? Why was my father fine yesterday, but he became like this after drinking your prescription!" "This, this..." Hua Yuan was surprised and said, "It's just a very ordinary Eight Treasures Soup, which nourishes the body, replenishes qi and blood. It is most suitable for Mr. Liu's current condition!"

"Bazhen Soup..." Liu Lian recalled that he had also looked at the prescription yesterday. Now he recalled that it was indeed a normal Bazhen Soup.

Liu Lian was well-read and had read several books on medical techniques, so he vaguely remembered some recipes for Eight Treasures Soup.

The so-called Eight Treasures Decoction is made by adding Sijunzi Decoction to Siwu Decoction, combining the two prescriptions into one.

It is indeed just a common warming and nourishing recipe, so there shouldn't be any problem.

But now, Liu Bowen has indeed fallen into a coma. How can this be explained?

"Captain Ye, can you tell me what's going on?" Liu Lian was puzzled and had to turn to Ye Xuan for help.

After all, Ye Xuan once used just one medicine to pull Liu Bowen, who had been ill for a long time, back from the brink of serious illness.

If we were to say who Liu Lian trusts the most in this room, it would undoubtedly be Ye Xuan.

However, Ye Xuan knew nothing about medicine. Considering the historical trajectory, the most likely possibility now is that Hua Yuan had tampered with the prescription.

"Hmm?" Ye Xuan's eyes suddenly fixed, and he leaned down to carefully observe Liu Bowen's face. "Mr. Chengyi's lips are purple. Sir Liu, come and take a look. When did this start?"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Lian leaned over to take a look. After a moment, he said in panic: "Hey, when did this appear?"

It seems that Liu Lian doesn't know either, so it is likely that the symptoms appeared after he took the medicine last night.

Ye Xuan grabbed Hua Yuan and asked, "Doctor Hua, if anything happens to Marquis Chengyi, you will have to bear the blame even if you don't want to!"

"You are a smart person, you should know that what I said is true. I don't want to pursue anything now. Saving Earl Chengyi is the most important thing!"

Hua Yuan nodded tremblingly, and Ye Xuan immediately pushed him to Liu Bowen's bedside.

"Lord Ye, my father became like this because he drank this thief's prescription. You let him continue to treat my father. Will he take the opportunity to harm me?" Liu Lian was surprised.

Ye Xuan said solemnly: "You can doubt him, but he is the best doctor in Qingtian County right now, and there is no one who can surpass him."

"The situation is urgent and we can't care about so many things now. Tell me, are you sure that Huayuan must have done it?"

"This..." Liu Lian was speechless.

While Liu Lian was still struggling with the question, he had to decide whether to say that as the chief judge of the Imperial Medical Bureau, Hua Yuan did have some real abilities.

After just a short while, he came to a conclusion: "Lord Chengyi must have been poisoned, and it was a very strong poison!"

"But judging by the symptoms, the toxin has not yet entered the internal organs. If we can find an antidote at this time, there is still hope!"

"Poisoned!"

There was an exclamation in the room.

Hu Weiyong was so angry that he slammed the table and shouted: "This must be reported to the court for strict investigation. No matter who the murderer is, he must be brought to justice!"

Seeing Hu Weiyong's indignation, Ye Xuan said meaningfully: "Prime Minister Hu, now is not the time to talk about this. The most important thing now is to think of a way to save people."

Hu Weiyong nodded and said, "But now we don't even know what poison Chengyi was poisoned with, nor do we know the murderer. Where can we find the antidote?"

Hearing this, everyone was confused.
