Chapter 19 (Nineteen) Poisonous
Gui Yuan approached Yin Ruchen gently, but because he was shy, he did not walk to her side. He just asked softly from behind her: "Junior Sister Yin, Master Yan went to Master to plead for you. He said... even if he had to give up his life to avoid punishment for you, he would be willing to do so... Are you... are you very close to him?"
Although Yin Ruchen didn't have the strength to turn around and look at Guiyuan, she was sure it was her by the sound of her voice. Hearing that, Yin Ruchen felt worried as if she was suddenly surrounded by a warm fire. She knew that Guiyuan would never lie. She slowly opened her eyes and wanted to speak but couldn't. She really had no strength left.
Gui Yuan felt something was wrong and walked up to Yin Ruchen. He found that her face was pale and she seemed to be about to collapse: "Junior sister, what's wrong with you?! I'll go find the master!" After saying that, she ran out eagerly.
When Gui Yuan ran to the gate of Jiuhuang Garden, Yan Moying just came in. Gui Yuan almost bumped into Yan Moying. She called out "Mr. Yan" with a red face and ran away quickly.
Yan Moying rushed to Yin Ruchen and found that she was holding on to the ground with her hands, still kneeling there. At this moment, Yin Ruchen felt that everything in her vision gradually faded, and her thoughts seemed to be getting more and more unclear. Yan Moying saw her weak body swaying back and forth, and immediately supported her and said, "Miss Yin, how are you?!"
Yin Ruchen vaguely heard what Yan Moying said, but her consciousness was very fuzzy. Then, everything in front of her eyes suddenly went white and she fainted, falling on Yan Moying.
"Miss Yin, Miss Yin!" Yan Moying picked up Yin Ruchen and walked quickly out of Jiuhuang Garden.
Not long after leaving Jiuhuang Garden, Guiyuan and Rongyu came towards them.
Yan Moying said anxiously: "Miss Yin fainted!"
Rong Yu looked at Yin Ruchen's face and was extremely surprised: "How could this happen?! Go to my room quickly!"
Yan Moying held Yin Ruchen in his arms, followed Rongyu and Guiyuan to Rongyu's room, and gently placed Yin Ruchen on the bed.
Rongyu took off Yan Moying's coat that was draped over her, covered her with a quilt and began to take her pulse.
"How is she?" Yan Moying asked anxiously. "From her pulse, she is poisoned, but we can't tell what kind of poison it is." Rong Yu frowned.
"Ah? Even Master doesn't know what kind of poison Junior Sister Yin was poisoned with? What should we do?" Gui Yuan said anxiously.
Rong Yu immediately took out a pill and gave it to Yin Ruchen to take.
"What kind of medicine is this?" Yan Moying asked.
"Yuling Pills can wake people who are unconscious due to poisoning, and can also slow down the speed at which the poison invades the internal organs." Rong Yu explained, "From her pulse, she will be fine within a day, but if she hasn't taken the antidote by tomorrow, I'm afraid... Fortunately, she didn't vomit blood. If she did, it would be more serious."
"She... where was she poisoned?" Yan Moying began to recall.
"The poison should have lasted less than a day. Mr. Yan, were you two together yesterday?" Rong Yu asked.
"No, when I woke up yesterday, she went to Shi Yepeng to rescue Gao Cai." Yan Moying said.
At this moment, the bell of Jiulan Gate rang, and it turned out that the time for the daily scheduled meeting had arrived.
"Mr. Yan, please look after Ruchen here temporarily. I have to go to the hall for a while." Rong Yu said.
