Dad, open the door. I'll bring your mistress back for you.

Chapter 307 Curarese Tree

Ning Shutong took out an exquisite needle box from his bosom with an expressionless face. After opening it, several slender and sharp silver needles were neatly placed inside.

He skillfully, quickly and accurately inserted several silver needles into several acupuncture points on Feng Yuyan's body one by one.

Feng Yucai, who had been waiting anxiously nearby, saw this scene and his eyes lit up instantly.

He shouted with surprise on his face, "Can you save my sister? Please, you must save her! As long as you can save my sister, I'm willing to do anything!"

However, Ning Shutong frowned slightly and said to Shen Chuning, who was standing not far behind him, without turning his head, "It's too noisy. Get out of here."

Upon hearing this, Shen Chuning stepped forward without hesitation.

She walked to Feng Yucai, reached out and grabbed the back of his collar, and carried him away from Feng Yuyan like a chicken.

At this time, Feng Yucai still wanted to struggle and resist, but seeing that it was Shen Chuning, he could only let her do whatever she wanted.

Shen Chuning turned her head to look at the doctor who was still standing in the corner shivering. She slowly reached out her hand, took out a heavy ingot of silver from her sleeve, and placed it in the doctor's hand.

At the same time, he lowered his voice and warned: "If even a word of what happened here gets out, the consequences will be..."

The doctor took the silver with trembling hands and nodded repeatedly, saying, "I haven't left the clinic today, so please rest assured, young lady!"

After saying this, he rushed towards the door, crawling and rolling, as if he had been pardoned. His speed was so fast that it seemed as if there was something terrible chasing him from behind.

Watching the doctor's disheveled figure disappear outside the door, Shen Chuning calmly instructed the surrounding air, "Xuanying, follow him and take a look."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a low response in the air: "Yes." But there was no one in sight.

Feng Yucai, who had been left aside, witnessed all this and was shocked.

Especially when he heard the answer from the dark, he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. He pointed at Shen Chuning and asked stutteringly: "You...you...you actually have a secret guard by your side?"

Shen Chuning ignored him and glared at him fiercely, her eyes full of reproach. "Haven't I told you time and again that you must take good care of your sister during this period and never let her leave the house! And what did you do? Not only did you let her go out, you didn't even have anyone to serve her!"

Feng Yucai's face was full of regret. He clenched his hands into fists and kept hitting his head hard.

He blamed himself with a choked voice, "It's all my fault! I saw that my sister looked in good spirits today. She said she wanted to pick out a gold locket for her unborn nephew, so I softened my heart and agreed to take her out. I thought it was just a trip to Wanbaoxuan, so there shouldn't be any problems. Who knew... such an accident would happen!"

As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes.

Shen Chuning sighed helplessly, frowned slightly, and said softly: "This matter is also our Wanbaoxuan's fault. We failed to take good care of him."

Feng Yucai shook his head repeatedly and waved his hands, saying, "How can this be blamed on Wanbaoxuan? In my opinion, my sister must have planned this all along, so she deliberately chose Wanbaoxuan, which is closest to the First Prince's Palace. As the saying goes, there's no defense against unintentional actions."

After a moment of silence, Shen Chuning asked, "Have you informed your parents?"

Feng Yucai wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and replied in a low voice, "So far, I've only sent someone to inform Dad. Mom has been ill for the past two days, and I really don't dare tell her the news, for fear that she won't be able to withstand such a heavy blow. Sigh... tell me, could it really be because I took my sister out that she met with an accident? If I had firmly refused my sister's request and not let her leave the house, perhaps she would still be fine now."

Having said this, Feng Yucai became more and more agitated, and fell into deep self-blame and pain.

"Don't blame you. Your sister doesn't want to drag down the Feng family." Suddenly, a powerful, low, and vicissitudes of life voice came from the door.

When Shen Chuning and Feng Yucai heard the sound, they were both startled and turned their heads to look at the source of the sound.

Standing at the door was a burly middle-aged man with a resolute face and bright eyes. He exuded the majestic aura of a person who had been in a high position for a long time.

This person is the head of the Feng family - Feng Chunming.

Seeing the person coming, Feng Yucai was the first to call out, "Dad!"

Shen Chuning, who was standing beside him, was a little reserved. She bowed slightly and said softly, "Master Feng."

Feng Chunming nodded solemnly, his eyes fixed on Feng Yucai, and he pressed, "How is your sister doing now? Is there any sign of improvement?"

Feng Yucai quickly replied, "Father, the doctors at the Shen residence are doing their best to treat my sister."

Hearing this, Feng Chunming breathed a sigh of relief, but his brows were still furrowed.

He turned to Shen Chuning, cupped his hands and said, "This time, I am grateful to the Shen family for their help, especially Doctor Ning. If you can save my daughter's life, the Feng family will definitely reward you handsomely."

At this time, the Feng family was in trouble because of its relationship with the eldest prince, and it was almost impossible to invite the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital to treat Feng Yuyan.

Moreover, most families are unwilling to have anything to do with the Feng family now.

But Shen Chuning sent people to help without hesitation, which was like a timely help to the Feng family.

At this moment, Ning Shutong, who had just finished the acupuncture, slowly stood up.

He shook his head imperceptibly at Shen Chuning.

Feng Yucai, who had been closely watching his every move, saw this and hurried forward anxiously, asking impatiently, "How is it? Doctor Ning, can my sister still be saved?"

Ning Shutong lowered his voice and said, "The situation is not optimistic. According to my judgment, the poison that Concubine Feng was poisoned with is the extremely rare poison of the arrowwood tree. This poison is far more potent than arsenic. In Nanzhao, there is a saying that goes 'seven steps up, eight steps down, nine steps down'. In other words, once poisoned, if you walk up, you can only walk seven steps at most; if you walk down, you can only walk eight steps at most. But no matter how far you walk, it is impossible to go beyond the ninth step or you will die on the spot..."

After hearing this, Feng Yucai was struck by a bolt from the blue. He froze in shock. He kept shaking his head, his face filled with disbelief, muttering to himself, "Impossible, absolutely impossible! You were clearly giving acupuncture to save my sister just now. How could you not be able to do anything? You must have another way, right? Please, please save my sister!"

Ning Shutong remained calm as he slowly explained, "I did temporarily seal your sister's heart meridian with a needle, but it was only a temporary measure. Once the needle is removed, the poison will immediately invade the heart meridian."
