Chapter 334: Fulfill Their Wishes

After Su Ying verified that the tube was flowing unobstructed, she stood up and said, “Poisoned extravasated blood.”
“What poison is it?”
“I can’t figure it out for now, but what I’m sure of is it’s not a lethal poison. It’s a slow-acting poison, and it might have been in your body for many years.”
Su Ying’s words shocked the two men.
“But 1 didn’t feel anything wrong with my body in the past,” Wei Siyuan said. He had been healthy since he was young. Even if he was injured on the battlefield, he recovered very quickly. If he had been poisoned for many years, how could he not have any reaction at all?
To the two men’s surprise, what Su Ying said next shocked them even more.
“When I say many years, I mean when your mother was pregnant with you. It’s very likely that someone poisoned her when she was pregnant with you. I don’t know if the other party wanted to poison her or you in her stomach, but because the amount of poison didn’t reach the right dosage or because the mother’s body underwent changes while the fetus was growing, all the poison that you absorbed was wrapped in a membrane sac.”
The gist was that the poison that was fed into Wei Siyuan’s body was like water injected into a balloon. This balloon remained somewhere in his body. As long as the balloon didn’t burst, the poison wouldn’t corrode him.
However, now, it seemed that the balloon had burst. The poison in the balloon was instantly released and began corroding his internal organs.
The poison was in the abdominal cavity and was slowly penetrating the organs, causing the organs to show signs of failure. If Su Ying had reached a little later and the poison reached the heart and brain, there would really be no hope of salvation then.
“Try to recall. Did anything unusual happen to your body before your illness flared up?”
Wei Siyuan tried to recall carefully. He remembered that all his discomfort seemed to have started from the last time he fell off the horse. After he fell off the horse, he felt very uncomfortable in his stomach, but the doctor couldn’t see anything wrong. After that, he fell sick repeatedly…
“I’ll try my best to expel the poison from your body and then detoxify you. Fortunately, it’s a slow-acting poison. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have lasted until now.”
After figuring out his situation, Wei Siyuan also felt he was fortunate to have survived.
“Thank you, Cousin-in-law. If not for your help, I would have died and not in peace either.”
Su Ying’s expression didn’t completely relax. “You’re not completely out of danger yet. Because the poison has already affected your internal organs, I still have to observe whether your internal organs can function normally. This is just the beginning.”
When he heard that he was not completely out of danger, Wei Siyuan couldn’t help but worry. “Cousin-in-law, will I die?”
Su Ying glanced at him indifferently. “Even if you die, it won’t be in my hands.”
Wei Siyuan choked.
Xiao Jin said, “Don’t think too much. You’ll be fine.”
Wei Siyuan nodded.
At daybreak, Xiao Jin had to go to the Imperial Guards’ office, so Su Ying stayed behind temporarily to observe Wei Siyuan’s situation.
After Xiao Jin left, Su Ying made Wei Siyuan sleep and brought him into her interspatial store for further examination.
As soon as Xiao Jin arrived at the Imperial Guards’ office, he saw a team of officials outside the entrance.
The moment Xiao Jin walked over, the Imperial Guard stepped forward and said, “Your Highness, the Capital Governor has come again. He says that he wants the Imperial Guards to give the Capital Governor’s Office an explanation.”
Xiao Jin raised his eyebrows. “The coroner’s autopsy results are out?”
“Yes, the results are out. The Capital Governor came with the results of the examination.”
Xiao Jin nodded slightly and walked in.
When Lord Ji saw Xiao Jin walk over, he approached him aggressively. “Your Highness, the autopsy results are out. The person died from a cerebral hemorrhage caused by an external force. Before the conflict with the Imperial Guards, the dead officer did not have any external injuries. Your Highness, surely you won’t protect anymore that group of Imperial Guards who attacked?”
Xiao Jin took the autopsy results and looked through them. Thereafter, he said, “Since they caused this, then Lord Ji can just take them away. I will also explain this matter to the Emperor.”
However, Lord Ji said, “Alright. After the interrogation, 1 will report the results to the Emperor.”
After saying that, Lord Ji left with his men.
Wang Su said with a frown, “Your Highness, the other party died because his brain was disrupted by silver needles. How did it turn into cerebral hemorrhage in his hands?”
Xiao Jin raised his icy eyes. “No one cares how the official died.” They only wanted to use this opportunity to trap him. Therefore, Xiao Jin would fulfill their wishes.
“He has already made his move. Get our people to make preparations.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
By the time Su Ying pulled Wei Siyuan out of her interspatial store, the sky was already dark.
She had spent the whole day analyzing Wei Siyuan’s condition and injecting him with the most effective antitoxin medicine. When he came out of the interspatial store, his life was no longer in danger.
Su Ying ground the medicine into powder, divided it into equal portions, and packed them. She then instructed the servant to feed Wei Siyuan the medicine after he woke up.
Just as Su Ying was about to leave, Wei Siyuan woke up.
“Cousin-in-law…”
Wei Siyuan licked his lips. He thought he would feel uncomfortable, but strangely, his body felt lighter. He looked at Su Ying in surprise.
Su Ying said, “The poison in your body has mostly been cleared, and your internal organs are also recovering.” She had to admit that this kid’s recovery ability was really good. She had originally predicted that he would not regain consciousness until tomorrow at the earliest.
“So, that means I’m fine?”
Wei Siyuan still couldn’t quite believe it. He felt that joy had come a little too suddenly.
Su Ying murmured a reply. “That’s right. I’ve already left some medicine for you. For the next three days, just eat liquid food, rice soup, and the like. Don’t eat anything else for now. When your bowel motion has returned to normal, change your food to a thicker porridge. 1’11 come back to give you a check-up in three days.”
Su Ying’s instructions were very detailed, and the servant who was taking care of Wei Siyuan took note of them diligently.
After confirming that there were no problems, Su Ying left.
The horse carriage slowly traveled out of the alley. The streets outside were pitch black. In the capital at night, other than the main street, the other places were practically deserted.
Su Ying sat in the horse carriage and wondered whether Xiao Jin had returned to the manor.
As the carriage curtains swayed, Su Ying saw a figure flash past. Su Ying only glanced at it before she furrowed her brows.
“Stop the carriage.”
The coachman immediately stopped.
“Your Highness, what’s the matter?”
Su Ying jumped off the carriage and said, “You wait here. I’ll be back soon.”
Before she had finished her sentence, Su Ying had already gone after the figure in hot pursuit.
The street was very dark. Su Ying had just pursued the figure into an alley when she realized that the person had disappeared.
She stopped in her tracks and listened attentively to the sounds around her. Soon, she noticed a series of light footsteps behind her.
She turned around and backtracked. After going around an intersection, she saw that figure.
Su Ying didn’t get too close, and the other party also looked a little flustered. He did not notice Su Ying’s presence.
Su Ying followed him through many twists and turns until they reached an extremely dark alley. Then the other party suddenly stopped..
