Chapter 104: Give Shen another dose of strong medicine

  Mo Bu Fan's words made everyone curious, and they all gathered around to look at the bear paw that Shen Shi was holding up. Mo Bu Fan pointed to the long fingernail on Shen Shi's right index finger and asked: "Can you all see what this is?"

  Everyone took a look and found that there was some white foam hidden in the gap of Shen's fingernails, not much, only leftovers.

  Mo Bu Fan picked out the powder with his silver needle, but the needle didn't react. He explained: "It's not a poison, the silver needle can't detect it." As he spoke, he brought the powder to his nose and sniffed it, then handed it to the doctor who had been invited over. The doctor also smelled it and said: "This is an emetic, I think the lady of the house must have taken this one."

  The old lady's blood pressure shot up, she realized something was wrong, and hurriedly reached into her sleeve to grab the small porcelain bottle that Feng Yu Heng had given her for emergencies. She poured a mouthful of it down her throat. Only after a while did she feel her pulse gradually stabilizing, and the dizziness easing somewhat.

  Mo Bu Fan couldn't help but notice the old lady's movements, and he proactively went forward to help her take her pulse. After taking a look at the medicine in her porcelain bottle, he couldn't help but exclaim: "The old lady's blood vessels are unstable, and when she encounters sudden anger, her blood pressure will rise. If it's mild, she'll just feel dizzy, but if it's severe, it could be fatal! Fortunately, there's this kind of miraculous medicine on hand, otherwise, it would truly be extremely dangerous! But I wonder where the old lady got this kind of miraculous medicine from? It's likely that even if Yao Shen Yi were still in the capital, he wouldn't be able to concoct something like this!"

  The old lady, upon hearing this, immediately thought of Feng Yu Heng's goodness and said: "This was given to me by my second granddaughter, oh, the one who is engaged to the Crown Prince." She felt extremely proud as she spoke these words, "My granddaughter is a young divine doctor!"

  Mo Bu Fan nodded slightly, turned around, and accurately found the location of Feng Yu Heng. He rushed towards her and gave a slight bow: "It was actually the ingenious hand of the princess."

  Feng Yu Huan smiled and returned a courtesy, saying: "Mr. Mo is overpraising me, the Yao Shen Yi in your mouth probably refers to my great-uncle."

  Mo Bu Fan let out an "oh" and repeatedly said: "No wonder, no wonder."

  He started chatting, but Feng Jin Yuan was staring at Shen Shi, who was still pretending to be dead on the couch, and was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. He found it strange how this woman could suddenly change her personality, and even if Pu Du An was good, she had changed too quickly. It turned out that everything was just an act, and it was all just a play.

  "Get up for me!" As he spoke, his hand moved, and with one swift motion, he grabbed Shen's collar.

  "Ah!" Shen shouted, jumping up from the bed and pointing at Feng Yu, "You wretched woman! Why didn't you die in the great mountains of the northwest? What did you come back for? You've ruined our lives since your return! It's all because of you! You're the one who made Shen Yu's position unstable, you're the one who caused Zi Hao to fall ill! You wretched woman! You should be dead!"

  Bang!

  The old lady struck with her cane, using all her strength, and hit Shen's head directly. Shen didn't even have time to cry out before fainting.

  Mo Bu Fan heard Shen's last sentence and felt strange, so he walked up and grabbed Feng Zi Hao's wrist. Feng Zi Hao tried to struggle free, but no matter what, he couldn't escape Mo Bu Fan's hand.

  Feng Jin Yuan saw Mo Bu Fan's intention, originally wanted to stop him, but actually wanted to let him diagnose Zi Hao again, so he warned Feng Zi Hao in a low voice: "Don't move!"

  Mo Bu Fan quickly grasped the situation and asked Feng Jin Yuan in confusion, "I've long heard that the second young lady of the Feng family left Beijing for the northwest three years ago and never returned. And this young master's illness only started two years ago, which has nothing to do with the second young lady of the Feng family? Why did Madam Feng say such a thing?"

  Feng Jin Yuan let out a sigh, waved his hand and said, "The Feng family has encountered such an event, it's really laughable for Mr. Mo to see." He then looked at Feng Yu Huang: "Ah Huang, please invite Mr. Mo to your Tongsheng Pavilion to sit for a while, I'll handle the matters here."

  Before Feng Yuexiang could speak, Mo Bufan took the initiative to bid farewell: "Since there is something going on at your esteemed residence, I won't stay any longer. I also need to return and report back to His Majesty and the two princes." After finishing speaking, he bowed and greeted Feng Yuexiang again before leaving the Feng manor with his eleven chefs.

  The doctor who was invited from outside saw Mo Bu Fan leave and also knew his place, leaving without even daring to ask for the diagnostic fee.

  The old lady listened to Mo Bu Fan's words, and still had to report back to the three of them. She felt a wave of dizziness in front of her eyes, her hands shaking uncontrollably, and her cane banging wildly on the ground.

  "Mother, take care of yourself." Feng Jin Yuan stepped forward to support the old lady, but no one paid attention to Shen Shi who had fainted on the ground. Not even Feng Zi Hao and Feng Chen Yu thought of helping their mother up.

  The old lady grasped Feng Jin Yuan's hand, her words laced with despair: "She has offended Yun Fei, she has offended Wen Xuan Wang Fei, and this is still not enough... now she has even provoked the Emperor!"

  Feng Jin Yuan also knew that this matter had blown up and couldn't help but blame Feng Yu Huang: "Someone came to the palace, why didn't you say it earlier?"

  Feng Yu Huan rolled her eyes at her father: "Originally, I didn't want to ask Father for this favor, it's my personal face that asked the two princes, thinking of welcoming Mother back and also letting our family have a proper medicinal meal to nourish their bodies. Who would have thought something like this would happen?" Her tone was unhappy, "Now that the doctor has come and diagnosed the illness clearly, Mr. Mo has discovered the hidden passage in Mother's fingernails. If Mother had done it cleaner, nothing would be found out. Does Father want Ah Huan to take the blame or does he want Princes Chun and Yu to take the blame?"

  Feng Jin Yuan didn't wait for the conversation to continue, and Chen Yu was already unhappy: "Second sister, why do you want to push the blame onto Crown Prince Chun's body? What does this have to do with Crown Prince Chun?"

  "What does Chun Wang have to do with my sister?" She looked at Chen Yu with a smile, "Isn't it that both Chun Wang and Yu Wang were invited out of the palace by Mo Jun, oh right, this matter also involves the Emperor, Father, will the Emperor have to take responsibility for this too?"

  "Shut up!" Feng Jin's anger flared, "What kind of words are you daring to speak outside? Are you trying to make the Feng family die without a place to be buried?" He glared at Chen Yu: "This has nothing to do with you, go back to your room!"

  Chen Yu was humiliated, but wanted to say something more. However, Feng Jin Yuan's face turned cold and she was indeed afraid, so she had no choice but to lower her head and leave reluctantly. As she walked out of the house, she threw in a sentence: "Prince Chun is innocent."

  Feng Yu almost couldn't help but laugh out loud, thinking that when people fall in love, their rationality really takes a back seat.

  She didn't intend to stay here any longer, and only glanced at Shen Shi on the ground, coldly saying: "I really don't understand, why did Father bring such a person back to the mansion? Grandmother was right, this person has even offended the Emperor now."

  Having said that, he pulled up Zi Rui and called out to Yao Shi, then turned around and left.

  The old lady trembled and said: "Jin Yuan, does Mr. Mo have a good reputation in front of the Emperor?"

  Feng Jin Yuan sighed, "Not only does he have a good reputation, but the Emperor also values him highly. Haven't you heard him say it himself? He's not only in charge of preparing medicine for the Emperor and Empress, but also takes care of Yun Fei's side."

  "It's all over!" The old lady exclaimed in a daze: "It's all over!"

  Feng Jin Yuan watched this farce, looking at Shen Shi on the ground, and suddenly remembered a sentence from the Third Prince Xuan Tian Ye - "The eldest daughter must be legitimate, her mother can die, but throwing her in the temple is not a big deal?"

  He gritted his teeth and made the decision in an instant.

  Tongsheng Xuan Inner Chamber

  Wang Chuan brought in a tray of dishes and placed them inside the house, "Miss, these are some extra dishes that Mr. Mo had specially made for you earlier. You didn't eat much at the Peony Courtyard, so I thought you must still be hungry, so I went to heat them up."

  "It's still my Forgetful River being considerate!" Feng Yu Heng almost pounced on the table, "Where didn't I eat? I basically didn't eat at all. Alas, what a pity that one table of good food and dishes was wasted, what a pity those good medicinal ingredients were wasted. Right, Mother and Zi Rui also didn't eat much, did you leave some for them to eat?"

  Wang Chuan smiled and helped her serve the porridge: "Miss, please eat quickly. Huang Quan has already taken some to Madame and Young Master's side. There are still some dishes left in our kitchen, which will be enough for tonight."

  Feng Yu nodded and thought for a moment before saying, "From now on, we will have medicinal meals at Sheng Xuan frequently. You all can follow suit and eat with us. I'll personally prepare the recipes and hand them over to the chef, teaching them how to cook."

  Wang Chuan hastily thanked her: "It's really good luck to follow Miss."

  Two people were talking, when a little maid came in and reported timidly: "Miss, Madam Jinzhen said she had something to ask for."

  There was still a piece of mutton stuck on the chopsticks in Feng Yu's hand. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let her come in."

  Very soon, Jin Zhen followed the little girl into the house. The little girl was also sensible and immediately turned around and went out of the house, closing the door from the outside.

  Jin Zhen hastily walked up to Feng Yu Heng's side, not even bothering with the proper greetings. With a sorrowful face, she asked: "Second Miss, have you thought it over, what this servant said last time?"

  Phoenix Feather didn't stop eating, while calling out to Jin Zhen: "I think you're not full either, come sit down and have some more, your body must be starving nowadays."

  Jin Zhen shook her head, "I can't eat anything, my mind is all about this child's affairs, please help me, Second Miss." She said, taking two more steps forward and lowering her voice, "Shen Shi has been locked in the Golden Jade Pavilion by Master, this time it's not just a punishment, but a thorough confinement."

  "Oh?" Feng Yu Heng looked at her, "What does 'thoroughly closed' mean?"

  Jin Zhen replied: "The doors and windows of the house were locked from the outside, and the servants were ordered not to deliver food. I secretly asked a little maid who was familiar with me before, and she said that in Shen's room, there was only a pot of cold tea, and nothing else that could be eaten. Now it's autumn, but the bedding in her room has been changed to summer quilts, and the servants are not allowed to change them back."

  Feng Yu blinked her eyes, and her father finally used this trick to save Chen Yu?

  Jin Zhen said, "I suppose the second young lady has also understood the old master's intention. However, when Shen Shi was previously sent to the nunnery, the old master had already said that she would never be allowed to return to the manor. Yet, just a few days later, she was brought back again, which shows that the Shen family still holds significant influence. Now that this opportunity has arisen, if we want to prevent Shen Shi from rising from the ashes, we must give her another strong dose of medicine."
