Chapter 121 Is this the result you want?
"That's right, I urgently need to find Doctor Guo for help!" Fu Yansheng spoke briefly and went straight to the point.
Unexpectedly, the other party shook his head apologetically: "What a coincidence, Doctor Guo was just taken away by someone else not long ago."
Fu Yansheng stared at the other person with a sharp gaze: "What is your relationship with Doctor Guo?"
The man replied respectfully, "I am the eldest disciple of Doctor Guo."
"So, are you able to treat the patient?"
Fu Yansheng did not allow any arguments. As he spoke, he held the other person's arm tightly and said, "Please come with me. Human lives are at stake. We cannot lose any time!"
Seeing the unprecedented solemnity on Fu Yansheng's face, like a dark cloud covering the sun, he changed his usual behavior and quickly agreed, with an unquestionable firmness in his voice: "Please allow me to go back to the house and get the medicine box immediately, and then immediately accompany the Prime Minister to set off!"
As time passed, the sound of horse hooves gradually became clearly audible from being out of reach, and then disappeared quickly at the other end of the street like a gust of wind.
Along the way, it seemed that even the wind knew the urgency of the journey, and there was a hint of tension in its whistling.
About a cup of tea time passed, and dust was flying in front of the vermilion gate of the Grand Secretary's Mansion. Fu Yansheng and Guo Kun returned exhausted. Their clothes were a little messy, but their faces were full of anxiety and determination.
While Guo Kun was carefully checking the pulse of the pale Ling Mohui and Ling Zhiyun beside her, Mo Yi trotted all the way to Fu Yansheng, his brows full of worry, and reported: "Sir, after verification, the cake shop is indeed owned by the young lady, and the new mooncake flavors are also developed by her personally. They are currently quite popular in the capital. However, I have also asked other customers who have bought this cake, and they all said that they did not encounter any abnormalities."
Hearing this, Fu Yansheng narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a sharp edge. He locked his gaze on Ling Mohui with an unusually cold expression, and whispered in his heart: "Ling Mohui, in order to get rid of me, you are so unscrupulous!"
Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden panic outside the door. A guard came in hurriedly, his face panicked: "Report - the boy who delivered the cakes escaped during the chaos!"
Upon hearing the news, Mo Yi made a prompt decision, turned around and bowed to Fu Yansheng and said, "Sir, please allow me to go and catch up."
However, Fu Yansheng turned his back to the crowd and just waved his hand gently, indicating that there was no need to chase anymore.
At this moment, he had already made up his mind that the servant's stay or departure would not have much impact on the current situation.
At this moment, Guo Kun finished taking the patient's pulse, turned to Fu Yansheng with a serious face, and said in a heavy voice: "The toxicity is so complex that the treatment is extremely difficult and quite tricky!"
Fu Yansheng was extremely anxious and asked immediately: "Is there any way to cure him? Just tell me!"
Guo Kun sighed, his face full of helplessness: "Although it can be cured, the antidote can only be prepared by my master, I can't do anything. Moreover, the herbs I have are only enough to save one person, as for the other... Sigh."
"Sir, there is no time to lose. Please think carefully about who to save." There was an urgency in Guo Kun's words that could not be ignored.
Fu Yansheng clenched his fists, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth: "Everyone, get out first!"
As the door closed gently, the air in the room seemed to freeze in an instant, and the surroundings were so quiet that one could hear each other's breathing.
Fu Yansheng slowly walked to the bedside, staring at the semi-conscious Ling Mohui with a sharp gaze: "Is this the result you want? Ling Mohui, do you think it's fun to press on like this?"
Ling Mo seemed to hear these words when she regained consciousness. Although her mind was clear, she was unable to speak in defense.
She tried hard to open her heavy eyelids and wanted to say something, but soon realized that for Fu Yansheng, how could he abandon the real heroine Ling Zhiyun and save her who was labeled as the "vicious female supporting role"?
Feeling disheartened, Ling Mo chose to remain silent and give up, but she couldn't help cursing in her heart: "Fu Yansheng, if you really let me die like this, I will be your father in the next life and discipline you, this unfilial son!"
Time seemed to stand still for a long time. Fu Yansheng finally stood up and walked out of the room resolutely.
Not long after, Guo Kun entered again and carefully fed the precious antidote to Ling Zhiyun.
Ling Mohui's eyes were blurry, but she could sense everything that was happening, and her premonition became reality.
She was mentally prepared, but witnessing this moment with her own eyes, she still couldn't help feeling sad and lost.
The feeling of being abandoned is not pleasant after all.
Just as Guo Kun had just given Ling Zhiyun the antidote and was about to leave, he happened to see Fu Yansheng sternly grabbing Mo Hua. His cold voice left no room for doubt: "Ling Mohui, that woman is cunning and must have a trick up her sleeve. You'd better hand over the antidote immediately, otherwise your young lady may not live long!"
"Sir, please, please save my young lady first. She is really innocent. Such a vicious thing could never have been done by her!"
Mo Hua burst into tears and begged repeatedly, banging her knees on the cold ground again and again until tiny beads of blood oozed from her forehead, reflecting her anxiety and despair.
Fu Yansheng's face was as cold as iron, and he remained unmoved. His tone was full of determination and unquestionable determination: "Mo Hua, if you continue to protect me, don't blame me for being ruthless and merciless!"
Mo Hua's face was covered with tears. She shook her head repeatedly, her voice choked with sobs, and she almost couldn't speak. "Antidote, there really is no antidote... Master, you have never truly believed in our young lady, even at this critical moment of life and death. I know that it is useless to say more, and I am willing to use my life to prove the innocence of the young lady!"
After she finished speaking, she suddenly stood up and slammed her head against the stone pillar next to her, as if she had no desire to live anymore and only this action could prove her innocence.
At this moment, Zheng Jiaxuan hugged Mo Hua around the waist, gently pulled her back from the brink of death, and placed her steadily on the ground. Although she fell, fortunately she only had minor scratches.
When everyone around saw this scene, the heavy stone hanging in their hearts finally fell, and they couldn't help but rejoice inwardly.
Zheng Jiaxuan frowned slightly and said to Fu Yansheng sternly: "Fu Yansheng, if my sister knew that you almost killed her trusted maid, I'm afraid she would not let you off easily!"
At this moment, Fu Yansheng's heart was churning, and a vague sense of regret began to take root in his heart. Perhaps he really misunderstood Ling Mohui.
"But the strange poison was indeed found in the pastry shop she runs. How do you explain this?"
Fu Yansheng's eyes were full of confusion. If the poison in the mooncakes was not caused by Ling Mohui, who else would have such a motive and choose to do it at this moment?
Zheng Jiaxuan curled up a meaningful smile and turned around to bring in a servant who had previously delivered mooncakes.
"I deliberately let him slip out of the house and meet someone late at night. Your Excellency doesn't want to witness it with your own eyes?"
