Chapter 27 027 People and Horses Overturned
"Mother!" Ye Pianran was shocked and helped Gongsun Yuan up. Suddenly, a terrifying thought arose in her mind.
She remembered Liu Lulu saying that this poison would eventually gnaw away at the body, causing the person to vomit blood and die. Could it really be too late? Could it be that her mother—
Ye Pianran dared not think of the consequences. She could only hold Gongsun Yuan's hand tightly and cry, "Mother, how are you? Please don't leave Ran'er!"
After vomiting that mouthful of black blood, Gongsun Yuan felt the heavy, stagnant air in her chest begin to dissipate. She wanted to raise her hand to wipe away Ye Pianran's tears and tell her that she was alright, but her health was still too poor, and she fainted in a daze.
This scene, almost identical to her previous life, nearly broke Ye Pianran. She held back her tears, clenched her fists tightly, and kept telling herself: Ye Pianran, it's okay, Mother will be alright, don't panic, don't let those people control your mind!
At this moment, a muttered voice coming from the inner room pulled Ye Pianran back to her senses.
"Auntie..."
Ye Pianran stumbled to her feet and ran into the inner room. Seeing Ye Yankang lying asleep on the bed, tears still glistening in the corners of his eyes, smacking his lips as if in a deep sleep, his body covered in the same black grime as when she first emerged from that mysterious space, she instantly snapped awake.
She quickly turned around to check on Gongsun Yuan and found that, apart from vomiting black blood, Gongsun Yuan's breathing was steady and her pulse was normal. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief and knelt down by the bed, exhausted.
She was too panicked. Her mother wasn't dying from the poison; the spiritual spring was working to detoxify her! It was just that her mother was weak and the poison was deeply ingrained, so the reaction was a little stronger! Kang'er, on the other hand, was perfectly fine.
Granny Xu hurriedly directed the maids to tidy up the mess, then turned around and saw Ye Pianran looking utterly dejected. Feeling a pang of sympathy, she comforted her:
"Young Miss, please don't be too sad. This old servant has already sent someone to fetch a doctor. Madam and young master are blessed with good fortune and will surely be alright."
Ye Pianran suddenly turned around, a sense of unease creeping into her heart: "You called a doctor?"
Granny Xu was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Yes, shouldn't we go and fetch a doctor?"
It's not that we shouldn't have invited him, but I'm afraid that this time, more than just the doctor will come!
Sure enough, a short while later, Marquis Anshi, Ye Yanxun, and Concubine Song hurriedly arrived at Lanxin Courtyard, following behind the doctor.
As soon as Marquis Anshi entered the room, he saw two maids bringing out a handkerchief stained with black blood. He stopped the maids and asked sternly, "What is this? What happened to Madam?"
The two maids lowered their heads and said tremblingly, "Reporting to the Marquis, the Madam suddenly had a stomachache and vomited a mouthful of black blood. These are the handkerchiefs used to wipe away the black blood..."
"This blood..." Doctor Xu from the manor smelled a faint, fishy odor in the blood and immediately changed his expression. He took out his medicine box, pulled out a few silver needles, and carefully wiped them on a towel. Then, the silver needles quickly turned dark black.
"This is poisonous blood!" Doctor Xu looked up in shock.
Marquis Anshi roared, "Hurry up and go check on how the lady is!"
Doctor Xu hurriedly accepted the order and stepped forward to examine Gongsun Yuan's pulse.
"Ran'er, why did Mother suddenly vomit blood? She was perfectly fine when I came over this morning. What did she eat or touch after waking up this afternoon?" Ye Yanxun emerged from behind An Shihou, his face filled with anxiety. But in Ye Pianran's eyes, his expression was particularly repulsive!
“The food, clothing and daily necessities of Lanxin Courtyard are usually inspected by special personnel. Any items with problems will not be sent in. I’m afraid the First Madam has taken something of unknown origin, right?” Aunt Song interjected, her eyes hiding a secret joy that she could not suppress. She even glanced at the orchids in the room without leaving a trace.
"Granny Xu, tell us what Madam used today!" Marquis Anshi was immediately lured in by their provocation.
Xu Mama was well-versed in the power struggles within the inner quarters, and she immediately understood the situation. She lowered her head, hesitating to speak. Since she remained silent, no one else in the room dared to utter a sound.
Finally, Chunxiao, who was standing at the very end of the line, whispered, "After waking up from their afternoon nap today, the Madam and the young master ate the red date and longan cake and almond shortbread that the eldest young lady sent."
Suddenly, everyone's eyes in the room turned to Ye Pianran.
Ye Pianran stood beside Gongsun Yuan, watching everything unfold, her gaze as icy and chilling as a deep, dark pool. She had guessed correctly; these people really did want to witness Gongsun Yuan's death and then drag her down into the mud!
"What? Kang'er ate it too?" Marquis Anshi said in disbelief. He quickly went to check on Ye Yankang and found that Ye Yankang's eyes were closed and his body was covered with black grime, just like Gongsun Yuan's. His gaze towards Ye Pianran changed immediately: "Ran'er, is what this maid said true?"
Having died once, Ye Pianran felt no fear. She said calmly, "This afternoon, I did indeed make some pastries and bring them to my mother's room."
Although Marquis Anshi was not very close to his principal wife, he was a man who valued benevolence, propriety, and filial piety. In a fit of rage, he raised his hand and slapped Ye Pianran across the face.
"You unfilial daughter, how could you do such a heinous thing!"
