Chapter 1461: Chapter 1461: Otherwise, How Could It Be Such a Coincidence?

"I... have been poisoned?"

Disbelief filled Zhe Jue’s eyes at that moment.

Considering himself in perfect health without a trace of illness, he had been poisoned?

"Zhong You, you couldn’t have diagnosed it wrong, could you? How could I possibly be..."

"Shut up!"

Lin Caisang didn’t want to hear his voice and shouted sternly.

Zhe Jue immediately raised his hand, covered his mouth, and shook his head towards Lin Caisang’s back, holding his breath as he watched the matriarch administer acupuncture to his lord.

After a while, Lin Caisang finally ceased her efforts, raising her sleeve to wipe the beads of sweat on her forehead.

"Come here, I’ll take your pulse."

She turned around and said to Zhe Jue.

"Oh, oh."

Zhe Jue walked over obediently and stretched out his hand, offering it to Lin Caisang.

Lin Caisang reached out and took Zhe Jue’s pulse, and after a moment, she bit her red lip, her eyes dimming as she gazed into the distance.

"Indeed quite serious, did you catch the person?" she asked Zhe Jue.

"No."

Zhe Jue shook his head.

The matriarch was now asking about the person they had chased, the one who poisoned them; surely, her lord must be all right by now?

"However, my lord also poisoned that person, with the poison that Dabai loves most," he added.

Upon hearing this, Lin Caisang finally nodded in satisfaction.

As long as that scoundrel couldn’t escape, that was fine. The rest could wait until she had slowly cured her Brother Molian, she thought.

"Paper and pen."

"Right here, master."

Zhong You immediately went to the desk, addressed Lin Caisang, and began to grind the ink for her.

...

"Go and fetch these prescribed herbs, remember, the more people who know about it, the better!" holding the prescription, she instructed Zhe Jue.

"Yes, Miss Lin."

Zhe Jue didn’t ask anything else, readily accepting the task.

What was there to ask? The matriarch certainly had her reasons for her actions.

"Fetch several doses. After you have simmered it, let those followers who went with your lord to chase the person drink it as well; it can neutralize the poison in your bodies," Lin Caisang said as she saw him about to leave, adding another instruction.

Hearing this, Zhe Jue paused momentarily.

"Miss Lin, isn’t this medicine for my lord?"

Turning back, he looked at Lin Caisang with confusion.

He had thought the medicines listed on the prescription were for his lord to drink. So they weren’t?

"I myself will simmer Brother Molian’s medicine," Lin Caisang said.

"Oh."

Zhe Jue nodded and then left.

"Master, what exactly is the poison that my lord has been afflicted with?" Zhong You asked.

Zhe Jue’s pulse was one that an ordinary person couldn’t diagnose at all; it was only with his master’s guidance that he had been able to diagnose it.

The poison was strange; Zhe Jue hadn’t shown any signs of illness up until now, yet his mistress had still instructed Zhe Jue to fetch the herbs, clearly unconcerned about the poison potentially being fatal.

"It’s not a poison, just a medicine that triggers the latent poison in the body,"

Lin Caisang explained to Zhong You as she sat down by Sui Zimo’s bed.

"Can it trigger any kind of poison?" Zhong You asked again.

But he was sure of the answer; it must be something that could trigger all kinds of poison. Otherwise, what a coincidence that it had also managed to trigger the ’leading’ poison.

"Yes."

Lin Caisang nodded.

"Zhong You, call in Jiang Li and the others; they need to change Brother Molian’s clothes. Also, take these blankets he’s been under and burn them,"

she instructed, turning to him.
