"It's like this. I heard that the princess defeated the head of the imperial hospital today and cured the queen's poison. I also heard that the princess restored the queen's body with medicinal food. I boldly stopped the queen in the palace and was about to take her.

The princess returned to the mansion and came to the Hou Mansion to seek help from the princess."

"In the palace? Stop him?" The old Marquis suddenly realized and reacted randomly: "You are very well informed."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Marquis. I have no choice but to forgive you for being so reckless."

"Since Zhiyao doesn't care, I have nothing to blame. Since you are here, you are also a guest of the Hou Mansion. Did Uncle Guo ask you to come?" asked the old Marquis.

"No, I wanted to come here myself." Fu Ziyan shook his head. He knew that it would be inappropriate for him to come to the old Marquis for help so hastily.

Lord Sheng made some guesses after seeing Fu Ziyan's reaction, but he didn't say anything. After all, his relationship with Fu Ziyan was not close enough for him to tell such private matters.

"In that case, you have to let us know what you want to do, right?" the old Marquis asked.

Fu Ziyan hesitated for a moment after hearing this, but finally nodded.

The old Marquis Sheng glanced at Sheng Zhiyao. Sheng Zhiyao was eating the cake in her hand with her head down. She didn't even know that the Marquis was looking at her and didn't pay attention to their conversation.

"Recently, my father has been unwell, and my mother has prepared medicine for my father every day. However, for some reason, my father's condition has not improved at all, and he has gradually lost weight. This makes me very sad, so I want to ask the princess to give it a try, hoping that it can be cured.

My father’s illness.”

"Oh, for treatment, why don't you just go to the imperial doctor? Instead, you want Zhiyao to help?"

"My father doesn't want to cause more trouble, and it's not convenient to disturb the Queen while she's still recovering after being poisoned, so I thought of asking the Princess for help." Fu Ziyan answered truthfully. He knew that the old Marquis was hinting to him that his behavior was out of bounds.

Yes, but he could only explain it this way. After all, Sheng Zhiyao's identity was there, and he had no other choice but to shamelessly come here to ask Sheng Zhiyao.

"How long have Uncle Guo been sick?"

"It's been months."

"How many months? You haven't seen the imperial doctor?"

"My father didn't want to do it, so my mother initially just hired a doctor to look at it and give him a prescription, but it never got better."

"In this case, we need an imperial doctor even more." The old Marquis looked at Fu Ziyan and said seriously.

"Old Marquis!" Fu Ziyan stood up and said solemnly: "My father doesn't want to do it. Although I don't know the reason, it is not easy for children to violate it. I also hope that my father's illness can be cured as soon as possible, so I also ask the princess to come over."

Take a look."

The old Marquis looked at Fu Ziyan's serious look and nodded after a moment of silence: "In that case, you go back and rest first. Tomorrow Zhiyao and I will go to Uncle Guo's Mansion."

"Thank you, Mr. Marquis!"

Fu Ziyan bowed and exited. Both Lao Houye and Sheng Zhiyao looked at his back with complicated expressions.

"Grandpa, do you think it's a coincidence that the Queen and the uncle fell ill at the same time?" Sheng Zhiyao suddenly asked the old Marquis.

Mr. Sheng shook his head thoughtfully: "I don't know. I can't draw a conclusion until I see Uncle Guo's condition tomorrow."

In the early morning of the next day, Sheng Zhiyao was woken up by a burst of noise.

She rubbed her eyes, put on her clothes in a daze, and then washed up.

As soon as he went out, he saw Fu Ziyan waiting in the lobby with an anxious look on his face.

"Why are you here?"

"Princess, I'm so rude. My father suddenly had a fever after returning to the mansion last night and was unconscious all night. I rushed to the Marquis' Mansion at dawn and asked the Princess and the old Marquis to move my father's pulse."

"Then let's leave now."

Sheng Zhiyao and Mr. Lao Hou rushed to Uncle Guo's house as fast as possible. On the way, Sheng Zhiyao also asked about Uncle Guo's condition as usual: "What symptoms have appeared during Uncle Guo's illness?"

"Yes, my father always feels chest tightness and shortness of breath, and occasionally vomits, but not to the point where he can't breathe, and sometimes he feels tired and weak."

"Yeah?"

Fu Ziyan nodded: "Although I have never studied medicine, I probably heard my father and mother mention it."

"Okay, let's go and take a look."

Uncle Guo's Mansion

Sheng Zhiyao and Mr. Sheng arrived, and Mrs. Guojiu had just come out of Uncle Guo's room.

Mrs. Guojiu's face was pale, her eyes were sunken, her eye sockets were blue, and she looked haggard, obviously she had not slept all night.

"Mother, how is father?"

"I woke up just now, and now I have fallen asleep again." Mrs. Guo's wife looked sad.

"Mom, don't worry, I've invited Mr. Sheng and the princess here. My father's illness will be fine." Fu Ziyan comforted him.

"Then Old Marquis Laosheng and the princess have to worry about it, but I... ugh!" Mrs. Guojiu sighed: "I really don't know what to do."

"Father will be fine, mother, relax."

Sheng Zhiyao glanced at Mrs. Guojiu. She knew that Mrs. Guojiu was feeling uncomfortable, and she could also understand the helplessness that Mrs. Guojiu felt at this moment.

Marquis Sheng and Sheng Zhiyao walked into the room and saw Uncle Guo lying on the bed, his face was gloomy and he looked in very bad condition.

Sheng Zhiyao carefully observed Uncle Guo's face and found that Uncle Guo's lips had dark eyes and his skin was dry and dull.

Sheng Zhiyao frowned, stretched out her hand to check Uncle Guo's nose, and found that Uncle Guo was still breathing weakly.

This made Sheng Zhiyao feel a little relieved. She put Uncle Guo's right hand on her wrist to check her pulse. After some inspections, she found that the illness in Uncle Guo's body was already very serious. If it continued like this, there might be nothing wrong with it.

Good results, and the disease in Uncle Guo's body is a chronic toxin. Although it has not completely attacked yet, it may attack at any time. By then, even Daluo Jinxian may not be able to save Uncle Guo.

Sheng Zhiyao turned to look at Fu Ziyan and Mrs. Guojiu: "I have already checked and found that Mr. Guojiu has been poisoned. I am afraid this poison is not short-term, but long-term."

"Ah?" Fu Ziyan and Mrs. Guojiu looked at Sheng Zhiyao in shock.

"Yes, if uncle Guo's illness is delayed any longer, I'm afraid it will get worse. Moreover, uncle Guo's physical condition is very weak. We cannot continue to delay, otherwise it may be life-threatening." Sheng Zhiyao looked at them with a serious face.

.

"Then what should we do?" Mrs. Guojiu asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, I'll prepare the antidote for Uncle Guo first and let him drink it."

Sheng Zhiyao wrote the prescription and gave it to Fu Ziyan. It didn't take long for the medicine to be taken back. Sheng Zhiyao carefully checked the medicinal materials and confirmed that they were correct before starting to boil the medicine for Uncle Guo. An hour later, Uncle Guo woke up.

.

"Uncle Guo, where do you feel uncomfortable now?"

"My whole body is weak and aching." Uncle Guo smiled bitterly: "What's wrong with me?"

Sheng Zhiyao thought for a while: "You have been poisoned."

"Poisoning?" Uncle Guo showed a surprised expression on his face. He always thought it was just a common illness, but he didn't expect it to be poisoning. Why didn't the doctor invited at the time notice it?

"Yes, you have been poisoned, and the poison is quite deep."

"How is this possible? How could it happen?"

"This poison is very rare. It is chronic and cannot be noticed by ordinary people. Therefore, the doctor before prescribed it to you as a common disease. However, because the medicine did not work well, you only developed fever and fainted after taking it for a long time.

, and this situation is caused by the spread of toxins in the body. If you don’t take the antidote, your life will not be saved by tomorrow morning at the latest.”

"Is there an antidote for this?" Uncle Guo asked anxiously.

"I've already fed you some. Now you take good care of yourself and leave the rest to my grandpa."

Uncle Guo looked at the old Marquis next to him and said in surprise: "Your grandfather? Old Marquis Sheng? You are Princess Yongchen!"
