Chapter 368 Something happened again
The steward agreed to everything, and Ye Qing'an then added, "Keep a close eye on Mother and Second Sister, and make sure nothing else goes wrong."
"Yes, this old servant understands."
After the steward finished speaking, he bowed and took his leave. Just as he stepped into the courtyard, he saw a servant rushing out from the hanging flower gate leading from the side courtyard to the main courtyard: "Miss, Miss, something has happened! The Second Young Master is in trouble!"
The butler was taken aback. He turned around and saw Ye Qing'an had already run to the door, her hand on the door frame, her face full of panic: "What happened?"
"Second Young Master...Second Young Master seems to have been poisoned!"
Poisoning again?
The steward frowned slightly, just as he was thinking, Ye Qing'an strode out, heading towards the side courtyard while calling out, "Go and invite Doctor Xu over."
"Yes."
The butler hurriedly followed Ye Qing'an into the side courtyard.
Eleven waited at the door, pacing back and forth, his face full of panic. As soon as he saw Ye Qing'an coming, he hurriedly ran towards her, calling out, "Mother!"
Before Ye Qing'an could ask, Eleven quickly said, "Mother, the poison was put in the porridge we ate this morning. I was going to be poisoned too. But earlier at mealtime, Ye Feiran said that the snacks today were not his favorites, so he didn't want to eat them, but he wasn't full from the porridge."
"The dessert was a sweet red bean roll that I really like, so I gave him my porridge. Who knew that he would suddenly collapse and not wake up halfway through his meal."
Eleven pouted, her voice already trembling with tears: "I should have been poisoned too..."
"He ate enough porridge for two people, so is the poison he got from two people's portions? Will he die?"
Ye Qing'an bent down and picked up Eleven, comforting him in a hoarse voice, "No, he won't die, don't worry, Mother is here."
"Is Uncle Xu here? Let Uncle Xu take a look at him quickly."
Although Shiyi looked flustered, she still remembered that there were outsiders present and remembered to call Yimoxu "Uncle Xu".
"coming."
No sooner had Shiyi finished speaking than Yimoxu's voice came from outside the door.
Ye Qing'an quickly stepped aside and saw Yi Moxu carrying a medicine box and walking briskly into the house.
"I'll go take a look."
Yi Moxu gave Ye Qing'an a few words of advice, and before he finished speaking, he had already entered the house.
Ye Qing'an hurriedly followed her in. Yi Moxu sat on the edge of the bed, holding Ye Feiran's hand, her eyes slightly closed. After a moment, Yi Moxu opened her eyes and said, "It's the Extreme Poison."
Ye Qing'an's eyes widened: "Ultimate Poison? What's that?"
The butler suddenly looked up: "Extreme Poison?"
Yi Moxu nodded: "Extreme Poison is a deadly poison, but after ingesting it, the poisoned person will not die immediately. The poisoned person will first become drowsy, and after three days, they will die suddenly."
Ye Qing'an frowned and quickly turned to look at the steward: "The poison that Second Sister gave Mother last night, the steward said earlier that he had someone examine it, but did you check what kind of poison it was?"
The butler's throat moved slightly, and he opened his mouth, but after a long while, he finally uttered a sound: "Indeed, it is also the Ultimate Poison."
"Is it also Extreme Intent Poison?" Ye Qing'an's expression suddenly turned grim, and she quickly asked Yi Moxu, "Medical Doctor Xu, do you have any medicine to cure this Extreme Intent Poison?"
"There is a cure, but it is not easy to prepare. Many of the cures are rare and precious medicinal herbs, which are found throughout the southeast, northwest and northeast of Siyou Kingdom. In particular, the Wuxiang Spirit Flower, the key ingredient, is the rarest. It grows on the top of a volcano, and it is not easy to obtain the Wuxiang Spirit Flower."
Ye Qing'an pursed her lips: "Only three days? How could you possibly obtain so many precious medicinal herbs in just three days? Could you possibly buy them from outside with money?"
"Other medicinal materials may be acceptable, but the Formless Spirit Flower, which serves as a medicinal guide, is not. The Formless Spirit Flower must be used in the medicine within twelve hours of being picked in order to ensure its efficacy."
Ye Qing'an pursed her lips: "Then what should we do? The Formless Spirit Flower grows on the summit of a volcano. Are there any volcanoes near our Wangjing City?"
“Yes, there is one.” The butler frowned upon hearing this. “About ten miles northwest of Wangjing City, there is a volcano. However, the volcano is extremely high and dangerous, and the summit is too hot, so almost no one has ever been up there.”
Ye Qing'an opened his mouth, and after a long while, he said, "Since my second sister gave Mother this poison last night, she must have the antidote. I'll go find her now."
As Ye Qing'an spoke, she quickly turned and left the room. Eleven hurriedly followed and grabbed Ye Qing'an's hand tightly.
He hadn't quite understood their conversation, but judging from Ye Qing'an's expression, he knew the outcome was probably not good: "Mother, can't Uncle Xu save Ye Feiran? Where are you going?"
"It's not that we can't save him, it's just that the ingredients for the antidote are hard to come by, and we may not be able to find the right ingredients within the specified time. I'll go and see if there's any ready-made antidote."
After explaining to Eleven, Ye Qing'an turned to the steward and said, "Steward, go back and ask Doctor Xu what medicinal herbs are needed to make the antidote. We need to hurry, and it would be best if we split into two groups..."
"No, we'll split into three groups. First, I'll try to find out if Second Sister has the antidote. Second, I'll do everything I can to find out who poisoned Eleven and Ye Feiran..."
"Finally, we will collect the necessary medicinal herbs for refining the antidote as quickly as possible. Once we find a way through, Feiran will be saved."
The butler nodded: "Yes."
After saying that, he turned back.
Ye Qing'an went straight to the courtyard where Liu Xueying lived. The guards in the courtyard had not yet left. As soon as Ye Qing'an entered, he asked directly, "Where is Ye Weilan?"
"Replying to the eldest young lady, the second young lady is resting in a side room."
Ye Qing'an went straight to the side room. The guards at the door immediately made way when they saw that it was Ye Qing'an.
Ye Qing'an entered the room and saw Ye Weilan sitting in front of the bronze mirror, doing her makeup.
Ye Qing'an paused, a mocking smile playing on her lips: "Second sister, you really have an interest in dressing yourself up?"
Ye Weilan glanced lightly at Ye Qing'an in the bronze mirror, her expression perfectly calm: "What? Even if I die, I have the right to choose to make my death look a little more dignified, don't I?"
A smug glint flashed in Ye Weilan's eyes. Moreover, she was protected by the Emperor's decree of marriage. Whether she lived or died was another matter.
