"Someone, someone, go get the doctor, go get the doctor."
"Hurry up and lift the Duke up to the room. Hurry, hurry up."
Dong Rong immediately took the servant and lifted Zhou Chen up, and hurriedly carried him to the nearest room in the yard.
Sheng Hong was filled with extreme fear, and his whole body was shaking. The main reason was that the scene just now was too frightening. He suddenly vomited a large amount of blood, which was frightening enough to kill him.
He saw Wang Ruofu being supported by Mama Liu, trembling all over, and angrily yelled, "What are you still standing there for? Go to Shou'an Hall and call Hua'er, and ask her what happened to Shuyuan."
"what?"
Wang Ruofu responded in a daze and wanted to leave, but found that she was weak all over and her legs were weak, and she couldn't walk at all.
It was Mother Liu who reacted quickly and hurriedly asked the maid next to her to go to Shou'an Hall to report.
Inside Shou'an Hall, the old lady was talking to Hualan and Shulan, when suddenly there was a chaotic noise outside, and then Fang Mama came in with a maid.
As soon as the maid walked into Shou'an Hall, she fell to her knees.
"Old lady, eldest girl, the Duke, the Duke, he, he..."
Seeing the maid speechless with fear, Hualan felt something was wrong and suddenly stood up and asked, "What happened to the Duke?"
The maid held her breath and shouted, "The Duke vomited blood and fainted."
Hua Lan felt a black screen in front of her eyes, her head was dizzy, her body went limp, and with a thump she sat back in the chair.
Shulan stood up in a panic, without caring about her image, and rushed to the front of the maid, squatted down, and tightly grasped the maid's hand.
"What did you say? Say it again?"
"The Duke was fine at first, but for some reason he suddenly vomited blood and then fell to the ground. The master asked me to come and tell the old lady and the eldest girl."
Hualan stood up from the chair again, without saying anything, and rushed out of Shou'an Hall alone. Cuichan hurriedly followed, and Shulan also stood up and chased after her.
Old Madam Sheng's hands were shaking, and her face turned pale all of a sudden. She sat there, trying hard to get up, but she couldn't move at all.
"Mother Fang, Mother Fang..."
"Old lady, old lady."
Mother Fang and several maids ran over in panic and helped the old lady up.
The old lady trembled and said, "Go, go to the front, quickly, quickly."
Hua Lan arrived at the destination first, and then saw Sheng Hong, who was covered in blood and had not been treated in time, and Wang Ruofu, who was slumped in a chair.
She didn't care about anything else and rushed to the bedside. Then she saw Zhou Chen lying there with his eyes closed, his face pale and blood on his mouth.
"Sir, Sir..."
She stroked Zhou Chen's cheek with trembling hands, listened to his breathing, and called him softly.
Unfortunately, no matter how she called, Zhou Chen didn't respond at all.
Shulan and Cuichan also arrived. When they saw Zhou Chen's "miserable condition", they all felt weak all over. Shulan also fell beside Zhou Chen's bed. Cuichan was also sad, but she still retained a trace of calm and supported Hualan.
Seeing that Zhou Chen still didn't respond, Hua Lan's tears flowed down. She suddenly turned her head and looked at Sheng Hong.
"Father, the master was fine when he and you left Shou'an Hall. How come he suddenly vomited blood and fainted?"
Sheng Hong was also confused: "I don't know what happened. I was walking fine, and I met your mother. Just as I was about to talk, he suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and it sprayed all over me. I still don't know what happened."
"Hua'er, could it be that Shuyuan has suddenly fallen ill?"
Hua Lan said flatly, "It's impossible. Your husband is in very good health. We have been married for ten years and he has only caught a cold a few times. He doesn't get sick normally. How could he suddenly get sick and vomit blood? This cannot be the reason."
"What's going on? Why would a healthy person vomit blood?"
Sheng Hong was really panicked. Zhou Chen was the Duke of Jingguo. If something happened in his mansion, the Sheng family would be responsible no matter what. Moreover, Zhou Chen was the Sheng family's biggest backer. He didn't want to see anything happen to Zhou Chen at all.
"So many people were there at the time, and everyone saw it clearly. Shuyuan suddenly vomited blood and fainted without any warning."
Hua Lan still didn't believe it: "Impossible, absolutely impossible, the master is in very good health, something must have happened, otherwise he wouldn't be like this now."
Zhou Chen rested in her room last night, and they had dinner together today. When he came to Sheng Mansion, Zhou Chen didn't show any abnormality. If it was an illness, there would be no signs at all.
Shu Lan also said: "Sister is right, the Duke has always been in good health, it is impossible for him to be sick, something must have happened."
Sheng Hong really didn't know what to say, so he could only say, "I've asked someone to get a doctor, he should be back soon."
"No, we need to ask the doctor."
This concerned Zhou Chen's safety. Even though Hua Lan felt extremely upset, she still forced herself to calm down.
"Yuancai, Yuancai."
Yuan Cai appeared in front of Hua Lan the next moment.
Hua Lan handed the token representing her identity to Yuan Cai and said, "Go to the palace and ask for the imperial physician, but don't let anyone know."
"Understood, ma'am. I'll go now."
Watching Yuan Cai leave, Hua Lan suddenly thought of something.
"Green cicada."
Cuichan had been by Hualan's side. Hualan whispered a few words in her ear, and then Cuichan nodded solemnly and left the room.
At this moment, the old lady came into the room with the help of Fang Mama and others.
"Sanlang, Huaer, how is Sanlang?"
"Grandma, why are you here? The master..."
When the old lady saw Zhou Chen lying on the bed, her body shook again.
"Ler me get through."
With the help of Hualan and Fang's mother, she sat down beside Zhou Chen's bed, looked at Zhou Chen who was unconscious, her face full of pity, and held Zhou Chen's right hand.
"What's going on? What on earth is going on? Sanlang was fine, how could he become like this?"
She turned her angry gaze towards Sheng Hong, who was startled by the old lady's ferocity.
"Mother, this is really not my fault. I don't know what happened. I think Shuyuan might have suddenly fallen ill, right?"
Hua Lan was too lazy to refute and just said, "Grandma, don't worry, take care of yourself. The master definitely doesn't want to see you like this. The master is a lucky person, he will be fine."
The old lady hammered her legs hard and said angrily: "How can I not worry? Sanlang is in good health. He was fine when he came here and when he left Shou'an Hall. He didn't do anything during this period of time. How could he..."
At this point, she suddenly had an idea and thought of something. It seemed that Zhou Chen had not done anything else during this period of time. The only thing he did was to eat her hibiscus lotus seed cake.
In an instant, her face turned extremely ugly, and she thought to herself that it was impossible, but the more she thought about it, the more she couldn't get rid of this idea.
When Hua Lan saw that the old lady suddenly stopped talking and looked very unhappy, she thought she was worried about Zhou Chen.
"Grandma, I have asked someone to find the imperial physician, and he will be here soon."
The old lady took a breath to calm herself down.
"Okay, let's wait. Sanlang is a very lucky child, so he will be fine."
Her eyes suddenly swept to Wang Ruofu, who was slumped in the chair away from the bed. Seeing Wang Ruofu's distraught and panic-stricken appearance, she felt even more uneasy. However, she couldn't say anything now, so she could only hold it back.
"Hua'er, it's not appropriate to have so many people around Sanlang. Let them all go. Hong'er, Sanlang's affairs cannot be spread out. Go and close all the gates of Sheng Mansion now. No one is allowed to enter or leave without permission. Anyone who dares to disobey will be arrested directly."
Sheng Hong naturally knew the seriousness of the matter, and he immediately replied: "Don't worry, mother, I know what to do."
After saying that, he took Dong Rong out, not even thinking of dealing with the blood on his body.
In fact, he was several times more panicked than he showed. Although Zhou Chen was his son-in-law, he was also the Duke of Jingguo of the imperial court. If something happened to Zhou Chen in their Sheng Mansion, it would be a huge event, and their Sheng Mansion could not withstand such a disaster.
The old lady woke him up. Without confirming Zhou Chen's safety, he naturally could not let anyone spread the news. Anyone who dared to go out or spread the news at this time would be against him and the entire Sheng Mansion.
The old lady drove everyone out of the room, leaving only Hualan and Shulan, as well as Wang Ruofu and Hai Chaoyun, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Hai Chaoyun was also very frightened. She was now the housekeeper of the Sheng Mansion and was born into the Hai family. Naturally, she understood the horror of this matter.
The doctor invited by Sheng Hong arrived first. When the doctor saw the situation, he was also frightened.
After calming down and understanding the situation, he began to take Zhou Chen's pulse. Just after taking the pulse, his expression became very strange.
"How is it? How is my husband? Why did he suddenly vomit blood and faint?"
Hua Lan twisted her hands together and asked anxiously and nervously.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 1167: The terrified crowd and the frightened Madam Wang
Faced with Hualan's urgent question, the doctor frowned.
"Ma'am, please don't worry. I'll take a look."
As he spoke, he began to observe Zhou Chen's face again, opened his eyes, pinched his mouth, and took out a silver needle...
Seeing that the doctor was observing and not saying anything, Hualan and others became even more anxious.
After a long while, the doctor stopped the examination. He looked very confused, as if he was thinking about what to say.
Sheng Hong was like an ant on hot pot, extremely anxious.
"Doctor, what's going on? Can you please talk?"
The doctor then bowed and replied, "Sir, this young man's condition is very strange. I can't tell what disease he has. However, his pulse is indeed very weak, and sometimes it comes and goes. It is completely different from that of ordinary people. It is obvious that he has been seriously injured. However, I have observed him several times and cannot tell where the problem is. I infer that it may be an internal injury."
The old lady suddenly asked, "Is he poisoned?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room changed their expressions. Hua Lan was even more shocked and asked, "Poisoned? How could he be poisoned?"
Sheng Hong was also shocked: "Poisoned, mother, this is impossible, who dares to poison Shu Yuan?"
The old lady ignored them and just stared at the doctor, who seemed a little hesitant.
"I also suspect that it might be poisoning, but I just used a silver needle to check and it didn't look like poisoning, so it's really hard to say whether it is poisoning or not."
Hua Lan asked hurriedly: "But my husband can't possibly vomit blood and faint for no reason, right?"
"This is also what I find strange, ladies and gentlemen, perhaps I am not very skilled, why don't you hire another famous doctor?"
The middle-aged doctor didn't want to stay any longer. From the attitude of the crowd and Zhou Chen's dress, he knew that the injured young man had an extraordinary origin. On the one hand, he really couldn't figure out the reason, and on the other hand, he was worried about getting into trouble.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Hong immediately became angry.
"Doctor, how come you can't find the problem? You..."
"okay."
The old lady interrupted Sheng Hong's complaints with a cold voice and said in a deep voice: "Hua'er has already sent someone to invite the imperial physician, wait a little longer until the imperial physician arrives, and take this doctor down to rest first."
The old lady spoke, and Sheng Hong had no choice but to obey and called Dong Rong over.
"Dong Rong, take this doctor to the guest room to rest and serve him well."
When the middle-aged doctor heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he asked anxiously: "Sir, what do you mean by this?"
Sheng Hong said with a serious face: "Sir, please forgive me. The patient's identity is special. This matter should not be spread outside. So please rest at home. When the matter is resolved, I will apologize to you and send you a generous gift."
The middle-aged doctor wanted to refute, but when he thought that this was an official residence and even the official was so nervous, he must have thought that the patient's identity must be no simple one and was definitely not someone a small doctor like him could mess with, so he could only nod in agreement.
"In that case, I will bother you, my Lord."
"Dong Rong, take the gentleman to rest."
After the doctor left, Hua Lan couldn't help but ask the old lady, "Grandma, why did you say that the master was poisoned?"
Upon hearing the word poisoned, Wang Ruofu trembled in the chair, her face showing panic. She had already guessed the reason, but even so, she dared not speak out.
The old lady shook her head and said, "I'm not sure either. I'm just guessing. Let's wait until the doctor comes."
In fact, she was already more than 50% sure in her heart. If it was really as she guessed, then Zhou Chen was poisoned for her.
Thinking of this, she felt even more guilty and sad, and her hands holding Zhou Chen's were shaking constantly.
At this moment, she really wanted to kill someone.
To her, Zhou Chen was different. He was not only her grandson-in-law, but also her blood-related nephew and grandson. He was also the first descendant to be close to her since she severed ties with the Yongyi Marquis Mansion.
As she had no children, she had long regarded Zhou Chen as her own grandson, and had deeper feelings for him than for her nominal grandson Sheng Changbai.
So when she saw Zhou Chen unconscious, she felt even more tormented.
Waiting is the most torturous thing, especially for those who care about Zhou Chen.
The people in the room all have different concerns.
