Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord
Chapter 722 - Chapter 722 Chapter 722

Chapter 722: Chapter 722 Chapter 722: Chapter 722 Prince Pu said confidently, “Naturally, that countrywoman did not suffer poisoning, if it is not from my daughter’s medicine pot, whose could it be?”

War Prince lifted his lip in a smile, turned his head, and addressed Doctor Fan, “Doctor Fan, you must investigate this thoroughly, there must not be any slip-ups lest we wrong a good person, then you would be committing a sin.”

“Yes, my lord.”

Doctor Fan picked up the medicine pot and checked it again, even pouring out all the medicine residue from both pots for a detailed inspection.

After a long wait, when everyone was getting somewhat impatient, he finally spoke, “My lord, I have clarified the matter.”

“Then let us hear it, let everyone listen and see if it makes sense.”

“As commanded,” Doctor Fan rose from the ground and said to all present, “Everyone, please check if this medicine pot bearing the Tang surname belongs to Auntie Tang?”

The crowd looked at one another, after all, they were not familiar with the rules of the General’s Mansion, only the servants there knew them clearly.

Prince Pu, a frequent visitor of the General’s Mansion and familiar with Lady Tang’s maids, saw two familiar faces in the crowd and said to them, “You two go and check, is this madam’s medicine pot?”

“As commanded.”

The two maids stepped forward, picked up the pot, and examined it carefully, and indeed, they found the character Tang right in the center, placed the pot down, knelt on the floor, and said in unison, “We report to my lord, this medicine pot indeed belongs to madam.”

“Are you certain?”

“We are certain, each master’s medicine pots in the mansion are kept separate, never mixed, and moreover, each medicine pot bears the master’s name, it cannot be wrong.”

Prince Pu asked, “Doctor Fan, was there poison in my daughter’s medicine residue?”

Doctor Fan nodded and said, “It is true, there is poison in your daughter’s medicine pot.”

Upon hearing this, Prince Pu became enraged, turned around, and furiously berated Situ Yongjie, “Situ Yongjie, you damn brat, if your General’s Mansion dares to poison my daughter, I swear I won’t let you off.”

Situ Yongjie’s face looked terrible, yet he didn’t know how to retort.

Lady Tang was indeed poisoned and now lay unconscious in bed, it was uncertain if she could be saved, and Prince Pu’s anger was understandable.

Doctor Fan said, “Prince Pu, do not be hasty, I have not finished speaking yet.”

Prince Pu, furious, said, “I have no demands, only that Situ Yongjie hand over the culprit, and this matter can be dropped, otherwise, tomorrow, I will go to the court to state my case.”

“Please calm down, my lord,” Doctor Fan stepped forward and said, “I haven’t finished yet, can you allow me to finish speaking before you lose your temper?”

“Speak!”

“Actually, the medicine in Auntie Tang’s pot is not hers.”

“How is that possible?”

“It is indeed the case,” Doctor Fan raised the prescription in his hand and added, “The medicine in Lady Tang’s pot actually belongs to Madam Mo.”

“Impossible, how could that be? Then why is my daughter the one poisoned while that rustic woman suffers nothing?”

Doctor Fan smiled and said, “That’s because they took the wrong medicine; Madam Mo drank the tonic that was meant for your wife, while Auntie Tang drank the soup that was supposed to be for Madam Mo, so, the person who got poisoned was your daughter.”

Prince Pu said, “Doctor Fan, you’ve been going around in circles, you’ve made me dizzy, after all this time, who is the poisoner?”

Doctor Fan pointed to Doctor Wang, “Then you’ll have to ask him.”
