Nine hundred and ninetieth chapters excellent timing
Mrs. Ping Guogong was in a panic. She walked up to the toasting dancer, took out the knife from the guard next to her and put it on the dancer's neck: "Tell me! What kind of poison did you give to the Duke!"
Unexpectedly, the dancer raised her head and smiled proudly. The next moment, the guard on the side rushed up and opened her mouth: "Madam, this person wants to commit suicide by taking poison."
"Want to die? It's not that easy!" Mrs. Pingguo threw the knife on the ground angrily, "I'm going to torture you here! I have to force out the antidote!"
"Yes, ma'am."
Not long after, sets of torture instruments were brought in.
Seeing the blood stains on the torture instruments, many ladies attending the banquet almost vomited out their dinner.
However, no one still dared to stand up and say anything, which shows the status of Duke Ping's mansion in the Qi court.
"It's a rare occasion in my life to serve food with the shrill screams of dancers."
Yan Yiyi glanced at the dancer whose fingers were pinched with blood, and threw a peanut into her mouth, "If I can confess easily, I won't let her poison me."
People who poison themselves are usually dead soldiers.
The first reaction after being discovered was to bite the poison and commit suicide, which was the most pleasant death.
It is a pity that the guards of Duke Ping's palace were experienced and stopped the dancer and bit him to death.
There is no way to die happily. For the deceased, it is just a more painful death. It is still death anyway, just suffer and wait patiently for death.
"I'm afraid that Duke Ping has given up his breath, and the dancer is still carrying the punishment." King Chu clicked his tongue.
Duke Ping's old face is getting more and more purple.
The doctor's hand when giving the acupuncture started to tremble, and it was probably that the acupuncture had no effect at all.
While everyone was waiting to see how Duke Ping died, a clear voice came from outside the palace: "I am Gu Yelan! Let me in, I can save the Duke!"
Except for the shrill screams of the dancers, there was no other sound at all in the banquet hall.
So as soon as Gu Yelan spoke, everyone's attention was attracted to the door of the banquet room.
Mrs. Pingguo narrowed her eyes and said coldly: "Let Aunt Gu come in."
Gu...aunt? This title makes many people think about it.
Especially the ladies who had heard the rumors earlier looked at each other unconsciously.
It seems that the story about Gu Yelan climbing on the bed is true.
Gu Yelan's body suddenly stiffened when he heard the title of Mrs. Pingguo.
For the sake of face, she obtained Duke Ping's permission and did not come to the banquet.
However, she just learned that Duke Ping was poisoned. She didn't know the severity of Duke Ping's poisoning, but she thought this was an excellent opportunity!
If she can detoxify Duke Ping, then her status as a miracle doctor, Gu Yelan, will be taken seriously again, both in his heart and in the eyes of everyone!
She is not only the woman of Duke Ping, but also a world-famous miracle doctor.
Thinking of this, Gu Yelan hurried to the banquet room without caring that his appearance might attract criticism.
Although Imperial Physician Wu's medical skills were excellent, few people heard that he was proficient in the art of poisoning.
And because she suffered several losses at the hands of Ye Fuxun earlier, she gained a lot of knowledge about poisons on the way back to Qi.
She believed that as long as it was not a strange poison in the world, it would be impossible to defeat her.
However, Mrs. Ping Guo Gong is so hateful! She actually calls her Aunt Gu. This is such a show of force. After she saves Ping Guo Gong, she will definitely find a chance to return her!
Gu Yelan took a deep breath, glanced at the guards who were no longer blocking her, picked up her skirt and ran quickly towards Duke Ping.
"Aunt Gu is proficient in medical skills, is it possible that she also knows poison?"
Mrs. Ping Guo Gong was secretly angry when she saw that Gu Yelan didn't even look at her and rushed directly to Ping Guo Gong.
If she didn't hold on to a glimmer of hope, she would never have allowed Gu Yelan to come in.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yelan raised his eyes and looked at her: "Madam, don't worry, Yelan may be able to undo the poison in the Duke of Guo."
Gu Yelan walked up to Duke Ping and while checking, he asked in a low voice how Doctor Wu was doing with his diagnosis.
Doctor Wu was at his wits' end, but now that Gu Yelan was here, he happened to have someone to discuss with.
So he told Gu Yelan everything he knew about the situation without reservation, including the ideas and plans for acupuncture.
Gu Yelan had no clue. Pingguo Gong's poison started very quickly, but apart from his cyanotic complexion and shortness of breath, there seemed to be nothing wrong with his pulse. However, this was the most terrifying thing.
The patient was clearly on the verge of death, but his pulse was still normal. This made it impossible for the doctor to determine where the poison was damaging and how to deal with it.
Such cases have not been mentioned in medical books, but the result of every similar case is the same. That is, the patient died suddenly when the doctor did not know how to proceed.
Seeing Gu Yelan's expression, Doctor Wu knew that she might be helpless as well, so he could only secretly indicate with his eyes: "I'm afraid I need to find someone who is good at poisoning to judge what kind of poison it is."
These words were like a sharp knife thrust into Gu Yelan's heart.
In an instant, she remembered the scene of King Chu Hui Hui mocking her for not knowing the art of poison and acting haphazardly.
"You don't have to be a person who is good at poisoning to be able to detoxify." Gu Yelan gritted his teeth, looked at Duke Ping deeply, and turned to walk towards Duke Ping's wife.
"Madam, can you tell Yelan the story of the Duke's poisoning in detail?"
Mrs. Ping Guo Gong raised her eyes and glanced at the steward on the side, and the steward quickly recounted what happened before Ping Guo Gong was poisoned.
"Since the Duke believes that his poisoning is related to the dancer, has any poison or antidote been found on the dancer?" Gu Yelan asked.
The steward responded: "Looking back at the miracle doctor, he has searched the dancers and found no poison or antidote."
"Where is the wine offered by the dancers?" Gu Yelan asked again.
"The wine presented by the dancers is the boundless wine used for banquets in the hall," the steward said. "Both the wine bottles and the wine glasses have been inspected and there is nothing wrong with them."
Mrs. Ping Guo Gong was worried about Ping Guo Gong's condition. She saw that after Gu Yelan came, he was not able to detoxify as he said just now. Instead, he wasted time asking many well-known questions.
She couldn't help but frown: "If Aunt Gu doesn't know how to detoxify and speak out, if the Duke of Guo gets into trouble because of Aunt Gu's delay, I will never give up."
Gu Yelan took a deep breath, straightened his back and said, "Madam, now we have to find out the real cause of the poison to detoxify it. Please don't hinder Yelan from saving the Duke."
"...Okay." Mrs. Pingguo couldn't help laughing when she saw that Gu Yelan was so disrespectful to her in front of everyone, "Aunt Gu, if you have any questions, ask them all quickly!"
Gu Yelan took the wine bottle and wine glass handed by the butler and smelled them carefully: "Are you sure that the Duke has not drank?"
The steward nodded, she put the glass down and walked towards the tortured dancer.
