Chapter 358 Everyone is selfish
Little Yining was ultimately unable to stay by the emperor's side and serve as a caring "artificial earplug".
She was taken away by Dr. Cui Xiangyang, the imperial physician who came with Liu Yang, for a physical examination.
Just as Cui Zhiyao said, every tea fruit was poisoned, and even after drinking the antidote, her father still found toxins in the children of Class B. Including Xiao Yining, even if he just licked his finger after touching it, he was poisoned.
Therefore, little Yining only caught a quick glimpse of the scene when Liu Yang took out a thick memorial and handed it to her great uncle when she was leaving.
It is really a pity that I cannot witness Liu Yang's exciting verbal battle with my own eyes.
It was not until later, when everyone had recovered and returned to the girls' school, that she heard from Liu Zhenying that her father had listed a total of 98 charges against the Xie family in a memorial, which made Prime Minister Xie so angry that he vomited blood and almost followed in the footsteps of the Minister of Revenue.
Of course, this is a later story.
Now, she and her sisters were holding their breath, anxiously watching Cui Xiangyang and his daughter forcing the poison out of the two most severely poisoned friends.
Just now, Chen Pi, who was ordered to investigate the case, easily obtained two kinds of poisons from Xie Wan Ning's maid.
However, there is only one antidote, which can only cure the poison in the tea and fruit, but there is no antidote for the poison in the milk.
Time was running out, so Cui Xiangyang could only use his ancestral method to force out the poison.
The acupuncture that Cui Zhiyao had practiced for many days came in handy at this moment. The only difference was that she was using gold needles now.
Soon, two slight muffled sounds were heard.
Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Xu immediately picked up the basins that had been prepared and put them in front of their daughters. The next moment, the two little ones vomited out a stream of thick, pungent black blood.
Cui Xiangyang hurriedly felt their pulses, and his frown finally relaxed a little. He said in a soothing tone, "Don't worry, madams. Some of the poison has been forced out. I will prepare the antidote as soon as possible when I return to the Imperial Hospital. You will be fine after taking it."
Mrs. Lin looked at her daughter who was gradually waking up, wiped the tears from her eyes, and asked quickly, "Doctor Cui, will this poison have any effect on my daughter in the future?"
Cui Xiangyang was silent for a moment, glanced at Madam Xu who was also waiting for an answer, and then sighed softly, "Fortunately, little girl Lin gave them the life-extending medicine in time. Although this poison is harmful to the body, girls always need to be taken care of, and they will recover."
As soon as these words were spoken, little Yining immediately became the focus of the whole room.
Both ladies expressed their gratitude with tears in their eyes.
The kid shifted uncomfortably and replied, "Dad said that medicine could save lives. Luckily he didn't lie to me."
"Your father really loves you. There are only two pills in total, and he gave them both to you." Cui Xiangyang joked.
"But this medicine is not easy to make. It took three generations of my family to make five pills. At the beginning, I felt sorry for your father, so I only gave him two."
Xiao Yining: Dad is right. Sister Cui’s dad is an old fox. He should add a zero at the end.
But it is true that this medicine is extremely rare, and she doesn't know if her father will beat her to death when he comes back.
Two of her classmates got into trouble because of her, and she took out the medicine in a fit of anger.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yining couldn't help feeling a little guilty. She was not a saint. It must be the guilt of "Boren died because of me" that was at work.
At this moment, Cui Zhiyao's heavenly voice rang in her ears, "Sister Yining, when I have learned all my father's medical skills, I will make ten pills for you."
"Sister Cui, you are so nice to me." Xiao Yining immediately responded happily.
Cui Xiangyang looked at the interaction between the two children and shook his head helplessly. However, he couldn't help but glare at his daughter and said, "I've been a doctor for several lifetimes and I still can't get enough medicine. You're so arrogant."
After saying this, his face fell, and it was unclear whether he was angry with his daughter or because of the excessive workload. He packed up his things, left without saying anything, and went to report to the emperor.
The depressing atmosphere in the room also began to relax a little.
Several little ones gathered around Liu Zhenying and Xu Niannian to check on them.
The two men were still dazed, their eyes wandering.
Looking at the two people like this, Lu Jiayi's timid eyes were full of self-blame, and she apologized palely, "If I knew you would encounter this, I would definitely refuse Sister Xie's invitation. I'm sorry."
Everyone looked at her with complicated expressions.
Mrs. Lin, who was still worried about her daughter, looked up at her and said calmly, "Miss Lu, although my daughter Yingzi is studying in a girls' school, because of her father, there are very few girls who are willing to come and play with her. She treats you as a handkerchief friend."
At this point, she paused and continued, "But I won't do that in the future. Miss Lu, please don't send invitations to my Yingzi. She won't go, and I won't let her go either."
When Lu Jiayi heard this, her face turned pale instantly. She looked at Madam Lin in disbelief and shouted in a trembling voice, "Madam Lin?"
"I don't want your post either." Cui Zhiyao followed closely and stated her position.
"Anyway, my father is an imperial physician. He only needs to cure illnesses and save lives. Why should I try to please others?"
After saying this, she turned her head away and shed tears silently again.
"My father is a historian, so I can't marry him. Sister Lu, please don't send me invitations in the future." Shi Wanwan also sighed.
Three people in a row said they didn't want to associate with her. Lu Jiayi's little heart felt like it was hit by a sledgehammer. She looked at others helplessly.
Several people looked away, obviously doubting her behavior because of the series of events that happened today.
Shangguan Ruyi couldn't help but say, "What are you doing? This matter has nothing to do with Ah Man. She was also used by Miss Xie Er."
Jin Xingman couldn't help but retort, "But when Sister Lu saw Sister Liu was poisoned, she didn't even think of taking her to the Emperor. The Emperor was right next to her, but she took her to his residence."
"But that's also..." Shangguan Ruyi was still thinking about defending Lu Jiayi.
"Ruyi, stop talking." Lu Jiayi interrupted with tears in her eyes. She looked at the little girl who had been keeping silent. "Sister Yining, do you not like me anymore?"
Xiao Yining lowered her eyes, a flash of hurt flashed across her eyes, and she asked in a low voice, "Sister Lu, did you know that Second Miss Xie wanted to ask me about Medicine Valley?"
Lu Jiayi was speechless for a long time before she slowly told the truth, "I really can't sit back and watch Sister Xie's face. I'm sorry, Sister Yining."
After saying that, she ran out crying.
"A'man..." Shangguan Ruyi also hurriedly followed.
The cheerful atmosphere caused by Xu Niannian and Liu Zhenying waking up became dull again.
The friendship between the classmates in the past seemed to be broken at this moment.
Mrs. Liu touched her daughter's face lovingly, then looked at the depressed child sister, sighed and said, "In fact, in my opinion, Miss Lu did nothing wrong."
When the kids heard this, they all looked at her.
"When a person carries too much, he must learn to give up and choose the more important of the two. You may do the same in the future, scheming against others and hurting others." Mrs. Lin continued.
At this time, Xu Niannian's mother also spoke sarcastically, "Your tricks are not enough, and you are still trying to scheme against others. It only makes you a joke and gives your enemies an opportunity to take advantage of you."
Then, she raised her eyes with hatred and looked at the few children who didn't understand her meaning, "Just wait and see, Xie Wan Ning will end up living a life worse than death, and the Xie family will also suffer because of this girl."
