Chapter 153 Poisoning
"Shuang'er, wake up, don't scare Daddy..."

Zhang Ning broke down in tears.

It was Mu Yu who pulled him up and said not to delay Xu Ri's diagnosis and treatment of the child, so Zhang Ning was reluctant to let go of his daughter's arm and moved Xu Ri's place.

"grown ups."

Seeing Su Chengrui came over, Mu Yu and the two saluted. The couple looked sleepy, obviously they had been tossed all night without rest.

Su Chengrui asked, "What's going on?"

Mu Yu shook his head, "It didn't take long after I came back from the banquet yesterday."

Seeing Xu Ri get up, Zhang Ning couldn't wait to step forward and asked, "Doctor Xu, how is it?"

"It's nothing serious. I'll prescribe a few medicines for the little guy to drink, and he'll be fine after clearing out the residual poison in his body." Xu Ri sat down at the table and wrote a prescription with a pen.

Su Chengrui frowned.

After hearing this, Mu Yu and Zhang Ning breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and then realized that something was wrong, and raised their heads to look at him in surprise, "You mean residual poison? My daughter... is she poisoned?"

Xu Ri nodded, "It's not a deadly poison, it's just..." His voice paused, and his expression suddenly became a little strange.

Su Chengrui sat down at the table, "If you have something to say, just speak up. If you need anything, just tell me."

Xu Ri glanced at her, his face flushed suddenly, and he said in an uncomfortable voice, "Have you ever heard of Zuixian San?"

Su Chengrui moved his lips, just about to say that he didn't know.

Mu Yu, who was at the side, spoke first, "You said that the drunken fairy powder is the kind used by young men in brothels to entertain themselves?"

The rest of the people looked at her in surprise, and Zhang Ning gave her a tearful look, obviously wanting to know why she knew about this medicine!

Meeting everyone's eyes, Mu Yu knew that they had misunderstood, and waved her hands in a panic, "I didn't. When I was with you in Tongcheng, I saw the bustard in the brothel who recommended it to you."

After saying this, several people turned their meaningful gazes to Su Chengrui who was sitting at the table - a beast in clothes.

Su Chengrui: ...

Xu Ri coughed twice, and continued: "There is a secret medicine in the palace that is improved on the basis of this Zuixian powder."

"This kind of medicine is a chronic poison. The improved medicine is many times stronger than Zuixian San. When it is used on men, the women who have intercourse with it can strengthen the foundation and nourish the yin. There will be no harm after taking it for the first few times. It has no obvious effect, but once a large amount of it is contaminated for a long time, it will become addictive, it is difficult to quit, and it may even threaten life. And for women, it is just an ordinary aphrodisiac.”

"This medicine was invented by the former emperor. I don't know how many men were killed in the palace at that time. The current emperor has strictly prohibited the use of this medicine after he succeeded to the throne. How could it appear on Xiao Shuang?"

Xu Ri frowned suspiciously, looked at Zhang Ning and asked, "Has Xiao Shuang eaten any strange things in the past two days?"

Mu Yu and Zhang Ning looked at each other.

Zhang Ning shook his head, choked up and said, "No, I usually prepare Xiao Shuang's meals myself, but I went to Xiao's Village yesterday."

After Zhang Ning finished speaking, Xu Ri shook his head and said, "There should be no problem with the banquet at Mr. Xiao's side. After all, so many of us ate it. It shouldn't be that only Xiao Shuang'er will be poisoned. You Think about it again, have you come into contact with other people or things?"

Zhang Ning and Mu Yu both frowned and tried hard to remember.

"Ah, yes."

Zhang Ning seemed to remember something, and suddenly opened his eyes wide.Immediately after, she got up and went to the bed, took out an oil paper bag, and took out the only half of pastry left in it, "Shuang'er ate this yesterday."

Su Chengrui glanced at it, only to feel that the pastry looked familiar.

Xu Ri was about to reach out to take it, but one hand picked up the pastry one step faster than him.Several people suddenly looked puzzled. Seeing Su Chengrui holding the pastry and sniffing it, then breaking off a bit and putting it in his mouth to taste, they were startled.

The taste was exactly the same as what she ate every day.

"Where did this cake come from?"

"It should be given by Mr. Yan." Zhang Ning thought for a while, and told them about meeting Ah Qing in the yard yesterday.

The atmosphere in the room was quiet for a moment.

Xu Ri asked Mu Yu to go to the kitchen to make a bowl of warm salt water, soak the remaining pastry in the water, poke the pastry into pieces with chopsticks and stir it in the bowl.

Not long after, some small purple crystals gradually floated on the water.

Xu Ri looked serious, "Sure enough, there is something wrong with this pastry!"

Zhang Ning turned pale.

On the side, Mu Yu jumped up against the case and said angrily, "It's too much! I have long said that this person surnamed Yan has no good intentions. I didn't expect him to even kill children!"

She said that she took down the long sword hanging on the wall and was about to go out. Zhang Ning realized this and stopped her quickly.Su Chengrui shouted coldly, "Stop! What are you doing!"

"Go and settle accounts with him!"

"If you don't figure things out, what can you do if you just come to the door like this!"

"Isn't this matter clear enough? He gave the pastry, and my baby was poisoned after eating his food. No matter what he said, the Yan family has to give an explanation!"

Xu Ri said from the side, "There is indeed a problem with this matter. After all, this kind of medicine is not life-threatening for a woman. If that young master really wants to harm someone, he can directly inject deadly poison into the pastry. Why bother with it?"

Mu Yu fell silent upon hearing this.

Zhang Ning hurriedly pulled her into the room, "Don't be so blatant, let Dr. Xu and the others finish talking first."

Seeing Su Chengrui's expressionless face, Mu Yu looked embarrassed, and now stood obediently aside.

Xu Ri pointed to the bowl and thought for a while, then continued, "Ordinary people will not have any reaction after taking this medicine once. Maybe Shuang'er is too young to resist the properties of this medicine, so he will have fever symptoms. Anyway , the child's health is critical, go get the medicine for her to drink first."

"Doctor Xu is here." Zhang Ning nodded in thanks, and quickly asked Mu Yu to take the prescription and go to the pharmacy to get the medicine.

When he returned to his yard, Su Chengrui called Xu Ri to stop.

In the afternoon, as usual, the Yan's house delivered the purple god grass and pastries, and Su Chengrui usually took them over, but today there was one more person in the room.

Su Chengrui glanced at the cakes on the plate, and waved to someone who came over, "I have received the things, thank you Patriarch for me."

The servant looked at Dim Sum hesitantly, but stopped talking.

"What? Is there a problem?"

Su Chengrui gave her a cool look.

The servant trembled in fright, and hurriedly bowed his head to salute, "It's okay to return to Miss." After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Su Chengrui brought the plate in front of Xu Ri, "Look at it."

Xu Ri nodded, picked up a piece of pastry and put it into the salt water prepared next to it, and used the same method again.Sure enough, not long after, a layer of tiny purple crystals appeared in the bowl.

Su Chengrui's complexion suddenly darkened, she suddenly remembered her gaffe last night, she thought it was because of drinking at the banquet, but now that she thinks about it, there was something wrong with these pastries from the beginning.

Xu Ri touched her pulse with his fingers, examined her for a while, and said with a serious expression, "How long has your lord eaten this pastry?"

"It should be six or seven days."
