Yun Shu hummed in acknowledgment.
Then, she got up directly.
Just as Qin Yiqing was about to call the waiter to settle the bill, the gentle-looking Zhen Lin suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, covering the crystal-clear refreshments with a layer of bright red. In the next moment, he fell backward!
The incident was sudden, and by the time Princess Ningde and Lin Qingluo reacted, Zhen Lin had already fallen!
With a bang!
"Ah! Young Master!" Lin Qingluo quickly pushed her chair away and rushed over.
"Brother!" Princess Ningde exclaimed and hurried to help Zhen Lin up.
The moment Zhen Lin fell, he lost consciousness and could no longer hear what those around him were saying.
Before losing all awareness, he kept spitting blood and mumbled indistinctly, "Don't be... afraid."
These three words were either to Lin Qingluo or to Princess Ningde.
The blood he spat out was so terrifying, how could they not be afraid?
They were very afraid!
How could they not run!
"Innkeeper! Quickly call someone to help me take the Young Master to the nearest medical clinic!" Princess Ningde reacted extremely quickly. She didn't understand why Zhen Lin would suddenly spit blood. During this time, he had been taking medicine, suppressing the poison, and she had almost never seen him spit blood!
This was the first time!
Lin Qingluo became flustered, "Young Master, Young Master, you must not have anything happen to you!"
If the Young Master died, then she would be finished! Everything would return to the beginning! Perhaps, perhaps Princess Ningde would attack her!
Thinking of all possibilities, Lin Qingluo was truly panicked, "Young Master, sob sob sob..."
"Shut up!" Princess Ningde scolded angrily.
Her peripheral vision swept towards Zhan Tianye, and seeing that he was completely indifferent, even leisurely continuing to drink tea, she suddenly understood that in his eyes, he disregarded the lives of all people!
Just as the innkeeper and the waiter came to help Princess Ningde, Yun Shu, who had already stood up and was preparing to leave, suddenly spoke.
"If you move him forcefully, he will die before you even reach the medical clinic."
The woman's voice was clear and decisive, sending a tremor through the heart upon first hearing it.
Princess Ningde suddenly looked up at Yun Shu, her eyes filled with intense suspicion, "Why are you so sure? Do you understand medicine?"
At this moment, Princess Ningde did not notice that when Yun Shu spoke, Zhan Tianye raised his eyes to look at Yun Shu.
"I understand a little," Yun Shu replied.
Qin Yiqing was surprised that Yun Shu would suddenly speak.
However, upon second thought, that Zhen Lin didn't seem like a bad person. Saving him might bring them some benefits later.
"You'd better listen to her, or you'll regret it later." Qin Yiqing rolled her eyes speechlessly when she saw them questioning Yun Shu.
How many people in the world would want to find Yun Shu for treatment?
With both hands holding silver in front of Yun Shu, she might not even agree to treat them!
"Who are you? If something happens to the Young Master, can you bear the responsibility? Princess, quickly have someone send the Young Master to the medical clinic! The Young Master has spat out so much blood, we can't afford to delay!" Lin Qingluo urged Princess Ningde anxiously.
She herself didn't understand medicine and knew very well that some women wanted to seize this opportunity for something. She couldn't give them this chance!
"Get lost!" Princess Ningde shouted fiercely.
This shout was not directed at Yun Shu and Qin Yiqing, but at Lin Qingluo.
Princess Ningde had always acted decisively, and from the expressions of Yun Shu and Qin Yiqing, she could ascertain that they understood medicine!
In this situation, she absolutely could not risk sending her brother to the medical clinic! Even the nearest medical clinic would take time, and her brother's bleeding was urgent, the situation was truly not optimistic!
She knew her brother's condition better than anyone else.
Lin Qingluo's face turned ashen with fear, "Princess... I..."
"If you can save my brother, I will reward you handsomely!" Princess Ningde looked at Yun Shu and made a promise.
Upon hearing Princess Ningde's promise, Qin Yiqing pouted and extended her hand, "My sister's rescue fees are always at least five thousand taels of silver. Given your trust in my sister, I'll charge you two thousand taels."
"What?!" Lin Qingluo's jaw nearly dropped.
Two thousand taels of silver?
They were asking for an exorbitant price!
Princess Ningde's brow tightened upon hearing Qin Yiqing's words, and she instructed the innkeeper, "Innkeeper, first borrow two thousand taels of silver from you."
"Ah, yes." The innkeeper did not hesitate and immediately returned to the counter to find silver notes.
For Yueran Teahouse, two thousand taels was nothing; their daily turnover was already several thousand taels.
Yun Shu casually glanced at the innkeeper, then looked at Princess Ningde, "You all step aside first, let me take a look."
Princess Ningde's gaze flickered, and she still got up and moved to the side.
Lin Qingluo hesitated to step forward to stop them. She was afraid that if they really saved Zhen Lin, then she would have nothing to do with it! Perhaps, perhaps they would drive her away.
But under Princess Ningde's gaze, she didn't dare to step forward.
Zhan Tianye watched the calm and composed Yun Shu with his cold and deep gaze. Facing Zhen Lin's emergency situation, she was not at all flustered. Her slender fingers landed on Zhen Lin's wrist.
His brow furrowed slightly; he found it somewhat unsightly.
After taking the pulse, Yun Shu sighed inwardly.
No matter where it was, history always repeated itself; some people used poisoning to achieve their goals.
"Turn your backs," she suddenly took out a packet of silver needles.
Then she tore open Zhen Lin's clothes, revealing a large expanse of his chest.
Seeing this scene, Princess Ningde could only lower her head slightly before she had time to turn around.
Lin Qingluo, however, felt her body turn cold, as if she were in an ice and snow world! That intense fear surged into her heart. That night...
That night, it seemed to be the person in front of her.
Those silver needles...
Her body trembled uncontrollably.
Qin Yiqing noticed and glanced over, "What are you panicking about? Your face is even paler than before. You just said you also understand acupuncture? Then why didn't you perform acupuncture on Young Master Zhen just now?"
As soon as she said this, Lin Qingluo's face completely lost its color. No, no, it couldn't be, it couldn't be such a coincidence! The woman who saved Zhen Lin that night had a very ordinary appearance. The woman now performing acupuncture on Zhen Lin, although not a peerless beauty, was also a stunningly beautiful woman.
They were clearly two different people!
Princess Ningde looked at Lin Qingluo with knife-like eyes, "After we go back, I'll see how you explain."
Yun Shu's needling was extremely fast.
After completing the acupuncture, she took out a pill from a porcelain bottle and was about to feed it to Zhen Lin when Princess Ningde suddenly spoke, "Wait!"
Yun Shu raised her eyes calmly.
Princess Ningde looked at Yun Shu. Seeing Yun Shu's indifferent expression, and compared to the divine physicians she had consulted before, there was more calmness and composure. The suspicion she still had disappeared, and a strange feeling arose, "What kind of medicine is that?"
