I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night Novel - Chapter 342

342 Expel

The old woman wanted to insist on staying, but Song Minghui refused to relent, so she could only leave the old lady’s bedroom reluctantly.

After everyone left, Song Minghui immediately asked the servant beside him to guard the door. Only the three of them and the unconscious old lady were left in the room.

Lin Suisui asked Lu Ze to help her carry the copper basin from the wooden rack to the bed. Then, she walked over and took out her usual needle bag. After she took out a silver needle, she inserted it into the area between the thumb and forefinger of the old lady’s right hand.

As she applied needles to other acupuncture points, the silver needle in her mouth immediately trembled violently, as if it had been stimulated.

!!
After Lin Suisui observed for a while, her expression became much more solemn than before.

She put away the silver needles and turned to look at Song Minghui, who was standing at the side. “I was right. The old lady isn’t sick. She’s been poisoned with Gu.”

“What did you say? Gu?!”

Even though Song Minghui had seen many things before, he was still shocked by Lin Suisui’s words.

It wasn’t that he had never heard of Gu before, but those things seemed to only exist in legends. Such things actually existed?

“Yes, it’s Gu poison.” Lin Suisui nodded firmly without hesitation. “However, because this Gu hasn’t been planted for long, it’s still possible to remove it now.

However, there’s one thing I’m not sure about now. How many people have been poisoned this time?” Lin Suisui paused. Without waiting for Song Minghui to respond, she continued, “That’s why I asked you to confine all the servants in the residence. This way, we can screen them all at once.”

“Madam, do you have a way to investigate the people who were poisoned?”

Originally, when Song Minghui heard Lin Suisui’s words, his heart sank. Now that he heard her next words, he saw hope again and perked up.

“Yes, but let’s remove the Gu first.” Lin Suisui turned around and gestured for Lu Ze to bring over a clean basin. Then, she took out a small porcelain bottle from the medicine box at the side and dripped two drops of the medicinal liquid into the basin. In just an instant, a rich fragrance filled the room.

At this moment, the old lady on the bed seemed to have received an incredible stimulation and trembled violently.

“Hold her down!” Lin Suisui instructed Song Minghui, who was standing at the side. Then, she quickly cut open the tip of the old lady’s right index finger with a knife and placed it in the copper basin that was dripping with medicinal liquid.

Dark and smelly blood gushed out from the wound on her fingertip and into the copper basin. As the old lady’s struggled more and more vehemently, the black blood gushing out from her fingertip became thicker.

This lasted for less than half an hour. A white worm the size of a thumb finally crawled out of the wound on the old lady’s fingertip and twisted its body before falling into the copper basin.

As the worm left, the blood on the old lady’s fingertips finally turned bright red. Lin Suisui observed for a while longer before picking up the old lady’s hand. After stopping the bleeding on her fingers, she placed her hand back under the blanket.

After what had just happened, the old lady looked at least ten years older than when Lin Suisui and the others first came in.

Her few strands of black hair had all turned white at this moment and her skin looked sallow.

“The Gu has been removed from the old lady’s body, but she’s old after all and the treatment process has exhausted her greatly. I’ll give her a nourishing prescription first. Let her take it several times.”

Lin Suisui actually didn’t have much confidence in treating the old lady’s current condition.

After all, she was old and had lost most of her vitality to the Gu…

Song Minghui didn’t force things. He knew the old woman’s current situation very well. She was already very lucky to be saved. As for the rest, he could only leave it to fate.

“The rest is not complicated to deal with.” Lin Suisui pointed at the copper basin that Lu Ze had already placed on the table at the side and instructed Song Minghui in a low voice, “Give everyone in the residence a small cup of water to drink. If they’re really poisoned, they’ll definitely vomit and have diarrhea.

Gather everyone who has a reaction. I’ll help them expel the Gu.”

Upon hearing Lin Suisui’s words, Song Minghui, who originally had a pleasant expression, could no longer smile anymore.The others didn’t know, but he had seen the origin of the basin of water with his own eyes.

For him to drink this basin of water without batting an eye…

Song Minghui felt that killing him was a better option.

“This is the fastest and most effective way.” As if she knew about Song Minghui’s concerns, Lin Suisui continued to explain to him, “Don’t worry, Ning Qian doesn’t have to drink this. When she went to talk to me yesterday, I had already taken her pulse. Everything is normal. Later on, I even gave her that pouch. With the herbs in that pouch, no Gu will dare to approach her for the time being.”

Although Zhou Ningqian didn’t have to drink this terrifying thing, he had to. Fortunately, he was the only one who knew the truth behind its origin, so he was the only one who had to suffer.

After Song Minghui made his decision, he took action very quickly.

He arranged for guards to come out and make everyone in the residence drink the potion Lin Suisui had specified according to the list. Indeed, not long after, two or three servants who were working in the old madam’s courtyard began to vomit like crazy.

Song Minghui suppressed his fear and disgust and immediately got someone to gather these people in an empty courtyard that wasn’t often used in the residence.

After about four hours, she finally finished screening everyone in the residence.

Other than the Old Madam, no one else in the residence was affected. However, twelve of the servants actually had abnormal reactions. Almost all of these servants worked in the Old Madam’s courtyard.

After Lin Suisui removed the Gu in the remaining people’s bodies according to the method she had used to help the old lady remove the Gu, she wrote another prescription and asked Song Minghui to arrange for someone to boil it and distribute it to the entire residence. Then, she said to the worried Song Minghui, “Alright, they’ll be fine for the time being.”
