When Mrs. Mei went back to Mei Mansion, she made some scented tea. The other package was given to Mei Yao who was locked in the room.
"Master, come and try this bowl of tea?"
As soon as he saw Mr. Mei coming down from the morning, he made a cup of scented tea for his wife. Then he stood aside and looked at him with a smile.
"What? Is there anything special about this tea? What happened to what I asked you to do today?"
Seeing her put down her happy expression, the old man was a little surprised. He couldn't help but smile and asked softly. He took the tea and put it in his hand, then asked her about her visit to Lingyuan today.
"Master, it's been done. Miss Long has also returned her grandmother to the old slave. Here."
The old man said respectfully and lowered his head, took out from his sleeve the grandmother who Ling'er had given back to her and handed it to Mrs. Mei. The old man took it and looked at it intently. After confirming his grandmother, he felt relieved and asked his family to bring the brocade box and put it down.
Look at the old man.
"The bracelet was also returned to her?"
After putting it away, he turned around and looked at the nanny and asked.
"Yes, she accepted it." When the wet nurse heard about it, she responded obediently. She stood back and waited. Seeing that there was nothing else, Mrs. Meihua sat back in the study and opened the tea to drink.
"What kind of tea? It smells so good. Did you put scented tablets in it?"
He slightly opened the lid of the tea cup, and a fresh and fragrant smell hit him. Mr. Mei looked up at her with joy and asked, then used the lid to block the floating objects on one side, and asked her puzzledly.
"Hey, sir, do you want to taste it?"
The wet nurse saw him like this and chuckled. Without caring about anything else, Mrs. Mei lowered her head and took a sip.
"Well, it's very fragrant. It's not fragrant tea, but what did you put in it? It smells like flowers." Wei Wei tasted it and nodded in approval. The old man put down the tea cup and tilted his head to analyze the ingredients in the tea.
"Yes, it is scented tea, all made of flower petals. It was specially given to me by Miss Long when I went to Lingyuan. That girl is really a clever woman. She is smart and kind... Okay, sir, you drink it
Okay, old slave, please retire."
Seeing that my uncle’s guess was pretty good, the old nanny said happily. Thinking about Ling’er’s intelligence and kindness, she couldn’t help but praise her. Seeing the obvious irritability between Mei’s brows, she quickly stopped talking. After saying that, she turned around and left respectfully.
.
"Alas," Mr. Mei's expression softened slightly as he watched her leave. Thinking that it was the scented tea sent by the human woman in the spiritual garden, he put it aside consciously. His expression was obviously full of disdain and disgust.
Then he started working on the papers on the desk. But no one brought tea, so he unconsciously took it back and drank it.
I drank a few sips again and felt that it was very smooth and my whole body was happy. I drank the whole tea unconsciously. I was thirsty again and went to drink, but I found that there was no tea in the cup.
"Where are the girls? Where are they? Where is the tea maker?"
Unconsciously, Yang Mei shouted to the people outside, and saw a girl coming over in a hurry. She calmly spoke to the girl, still immersed in the case.
The girl hurriedly ran to change the tea. It was quickly replaced. Mr. Mei took another sip, and the obviously different taste made him frown consciously.
"What? Isn't this the tea just now?" A simple sentence made the girl chuckle and go to change tea for him again. She drank several cups in a row.
Finally finishing what he was doing, the old man got up with a sore back.
"Master, you are done with your work. Come on, be careful. I will help you to rest."
The wet nurse had been accompanying the old man. When she saw him leaving his seat after beating his sleepy hands, she quickly stepped forward to help him and asked with concern.
"Haha, let's go, oops, my stomach hurts, this,"
Seeing her like this, the old man smiled comfortingly and turned around, holding her hand and walking outside. But after walking a few steps, he felt a sharp pain in his stomach. After saying that, he turned around and collapsed weakly.
"Master, are you okay? Someone is coming, someone is coming."
Seeing the old man being supported like this, the old nanny panicked. She quickly supported him with all her strength and asked with concern. However, she still panicked when she saw that the old man just gritted his teeth and endured the pain, covering his stomach with his hands and had a painful expression on his face.
While supporting him hard to stop him from sliding down, he shouted in panic. Soon, Mei Yao, the housekeeper, and some other people in charge came to the study.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you? Why do you have a stomachache so well?"
Mei Yao came crying. She walked through the crowd and saw her grandfather's uncomfortable look. She stepped forward with concern and asked. Her face was also nervous and worried.
"I don't know, oh, it hurts so much,"
The old man was in pain and sweating profusely. Seeing his granddaughter's worried look, he said with relief. But the severe pain in his stomach was unbearable. When the pain hit, the old man screamed in pain again, and his hands holding Mei Yao's hand suddenly tightened.
force.
The pain in Mei Yao's grasping hands was unbearable.
"Grandpa, please bear with me, the doctor will be here soon, he will be here soon. Nanny, why isn't the doctor here yet? Grandpa, please bear with me, grandfather."
There were more people, so they helped the old man sit on the chair, leaving only the housekeeper, wet nurse, Mei Yao, and a few little girls to wait on him. Those people were sent back to do other things.
Seeing her grandfather in pain, Mei Yao held her grandfather's hand with concern. She wiped the sweat from the old man, who was shaking his head from side to side because of the pain, and at the same time nervously turned around to ask the nanny beside him.
When the doctor arrived, the old man was in pain and just lay on the bed groaning.
These people quickly moved out of the way so that they could have space to see what the message was.
"Mei Guo is always poisoned? A chronic poison."
The doctor took his pulse and answered calmly.
"What? Chronic poison? Doctor, can my grandfather's poison be cured? Will he be okay?"
Seeing the doctor getting up, grandpa was in pain and just lying there groaning. Mei Xi panicked, grandpa was her only relative. Now where the poison came from, she was not in the mood to ask, but asked her grandpa eagerly.
body and condition.
"Don't worry, miss. Don't worry, Mr. Mei's poison is only mild. Fortunately, it was discovered early. If it were late, the consequences would be unimaginable. Get out of the way quickly, and I will give Mr. Guo a few injections to temporarily suppress his poison.
Toxin, if it’s not too late, I’m afraid it will be very troublesome.”
Looking at the woman who had grabbed his hand regardless of her restraint, the doctor calmed her down and calmed her down. As he spoke, he picked up the silver needle in the medicine box and went over to give the old man an injection.
When the doctor passed by, the two of them just looked at him worriedly, not daring to take even a step away.
After a long time, the old man finally fell asleep peacefully. The doctor put down the needle and stood up.
"Doctor, how's it going? My grandfather. His illness..."
Seeing the doctor getting up, Mei Yao quickly stepped forward and asked the doctor nervously, her eyes still falling on her grandfather.
"Don't worry, miss. The master's poison has been suppressed for the time being. It's just that the remaining poison in the body has not been eliminated. I will prescribe a few medicines for him to take and he will be fine. I would like to rest during this period and give him something light to eat.
What I ordered. By the way, how could Mr. Mei Guolao be poisoned when he is so good? Did you give him anything he shouldn’t have eaten?”
Seeing her worried look, the doctor comforted her sympathetically. After saying that, he turned around and wrote a prescription to the wet nurse on the side and told her the specific method of using the medicine. Then while packing things, he asked Mei Yao.
Upon hearing his question, Mei Yao couldn't help but look at the nanny who had just given the prescription to the girl. She was locked up and specifically told the nanny to take care of grandpa.
"Well, the old slave didn't give me anything to eat. I just gave him some breakfast and scented tea when he came back from the morning. By the way, the scented tea I got from Miss Long in Lingyuan. Is there something wrong with the tea?"
Seeing the questioning look in the young lady's eyes, the old man hesitated slightly. But he still honestly thought about the things he gave to Mr. Mei today. He thought of food and drink. They also ate the food, but it was nothing. But she was the only one who happily gave it to him.
I ordered scented tea. I consciously thought of the packet of scented tea given by Ling'er.
"Scented tea? What is it again? Have you finished drinking it? Can you bring it over for me to take a look at?"
After hearing what she said, the doctor asked strangely, consciously thinking of this possibility.
"Oh, Xiaochun, go and get the scented tea that Grandpa drank and the tea that she gave me. Let the doctor take a look."
He responded in astonishment and persuaded the girl next to him. He felt a little resentful towards Long Ling'er in his heart. I didn't expect that this woman was real. But in my heart, there were more speculations and suspicions.
Soon Xiaochun came over and brought two bags of scented tea and showed them to the doctor.
"Petal tea?"
When he opened it, he saw that the inside was made of dried flower petals. The doctor asked strangely, and they nodded in affirmation without saying anything else.
"Let's do this, make two portions of this flower tea and make it into tea for me to see."
Looking at the concerned looks of the people around him, the doctor said and handed two paper packages to the girl next to him. The girl quickly poured two cups of tea and put them on the table.
After watching them put them away, the doctor took the silver needles prepared in advance and placed them in two bowls of tea. He would take them out after a while. When he saw the silver needles in his hand, the old man's brows instantly condensed.
"How is it, doctor?"
Seeing the doctor's frown, Mei Yao unconsciously stepped forward nervously to ask.
Seeing the nervousness of the people around him, the doctor looked at them and spoke.
"Both bags of tea are poisonous. What's in them is chronic poison." He looked at them coldly and scanned everyone's expressions. As soon as his words came out, everyone's expressions instantly became cold and cautious.
"What? Poisonous? Why is that woman so bad? Why is she so vicious, me,"
After hearing what the doctor said, Mei Yao was obviously in disbelief and panicked. Thinking that it was Ling'er who had administered the medicine, she was so angry that she rushed out to settle the score with her.
"Miss, please calm down. Whether it's her or not, please wait until the master wakes up before making a decision on this matter, okay? Miss, please calm down. Calm down." Xiaochun stopped the angry woman in time and persuaded her repeatedly.
"Yes, miss, it's not too late to wait until your grandfather wakes up before making a decision."
The wet nurse saw her like this and couldn't help but stop her.
"Really, I didn't expect that woman to be so hateful. On the surface, she said she was my sister, but she was so worried. Could it be that she was deliberately retaliating against grandpa because grandpa reprimanded her in person, or because I spread some rumors about her outside? Really,
I’m so angry, I.”
Regarding their persuasion, Mei Yao thought about her grandpa being poisoned. The scented tea was poisonous, and her anger was still hard to suppress. Thinking of the poison in the scented tea, her anger rose again. They only had grandpa to drink, what would happen if she drank it too?
, it’s really hard to guess.
But after being persuaded again by these people, I finally calmed down.
