Chapter 228 - 228 “Very Sweet.”

228 “Very Sweet.”

After Lu Ze fainted from the poison, Lin Suisui rushed over. She first took his pulse with trembling hands. After confirming that the residual poison had relapsed, she heaved a sigh of relief. She gestured for Su Le and the others to send Lu Ze back to the room. Then, she applied a needle to force the poison out of him. When the black poisonous blood was no longer dripping from Lu Ze’s cut fingers, she carefully applied medicine to stop the bleeding. Then, she gently tucked him in and quietly left the inner room.

“There’s poison in his body to begin with. I originally used medicine to temporarily suppress it. What did you do to cause the remaining poison to relapse?!”

As soon as Lin Suisui left, she walked straight to Pei Qian, who was sitting at the table waiting for news.

“…Would you believe me if I said that I actually only drank two glasses of wine with him and didn’t do anything?!” Pei Qian raised his hand to rub his throbbing temples. Lu Ze had really guessed it right!

Pei Qian reacted quickly. When he realized that nothing good would happen if he stayed any longer, an idea flashed through his mind. He raised his hand and slapped the table in front of him. “Someone must be trying to harm him!

“Madam Liu, take good care of Erlang. Leave the matters outside to me!”

“Don’t worry, even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I’ll find out who poisoned him!”

After saying that, Pei Qian stood up and hurriedly cupped his hands at Lin Suisui before turning around and leaving with Qian He.

“…”

Lin Suisui looked at Pei Qian, who was escaping, in shock. She hadn’t asked anything yet. Besides, when did she say that someone had poisoned Lu Ze?!

Forget it. If Pei Qian had something to do recently, he would probably have less time to pester them!

“Why are you sitting up?!” As Lin Suisui thought about how to deal with Lu Ze’s current situation, she walked towards the inner room. However, as soon as she entered, she realized that Lu Ze had already sat up and was leaning against the headboard. She couldn’t help but frown and press him under the blanket in disapproval. “I’ve just suppressed the remaining poison in your body. You still have to recuperate for two days!

Didn’t I tell you before that the poison in your body hasn’t dissipated yet, so I can only suppress it for the time being?! It’s best not to use your internal energy recklessly. Why didn’t you listen?!”

“Pei Qian left?!” Lu Ze took the medicine bowl from Lin Suisui and drank half a bowl of medicine. Then, he turned around and looked straight at Lin Suisui, who was sitting by the bed. After a while, seeing that Lin Suisui was still focused on taking his pulse, he reached out and tugged at her sleeve.

“He’s gone!” Lin Suisui turned around. She was analyzing his pulse, so why did he keep interrupting? However, when she saw Lu Ze’s eager gaze, she couldn’t help but ask in confusion, “What’s wrong?!”

“This medicine is very bitter.” Lu Ze frowned.

Lin Suisui blinked and couldn’t help but feel even more puzzled. “But you didn’t mind the bitterness when you drank the medicine previously.”

“It’s probably because the residual poison has cleared a little, so…”

Before Lu Ze could finish speaking, a pine nut candy was stuffed into his mouth. He met Lin Suisui’s sly smile and bit her fingertip maliciously. “It’s very sweet.”

Lin Suisui quickly retracted her hand and glanced at him angrily. Then, she placed her hand on Lu Ze’s arm and carefully checked his pulse.

“Fortunately, it’s not that bad.” About five minutes later, Lin Suisui retracted her hand and heaved a sigh of relief. “You should rest at home for the next few days. Don’t run around anymore!”

Now, she didn’t have enough herbs on hand, and the remaining poison in Lu Ze’s body couldn’t be eliminated in a day or two, so they could only take it slow.

“That’s my plan as well.” Lu Ze nodded as he cooperated.

“So, you deliberately scared Pei Qian away to make him cause trouble in Cloud Mountain City?!” With this thought, Lin Suisui realized the reason for today’s commotion.

Lu Ze was clearly using the relapse of the poison to get Pei Qian, who was keeping a low profile and watching their drama, to clean up the final mess in the north.

“We still have to live in the north in the future. If we offend everyone here, won’t our lives be difficult in the future?!

“Mr. Pei is returning to the capital after the new year anyway. Wouldn’t it be more suitable for him to be the villain than us?!”

Lu Ze didn’t hide his plan at all. He looked at Lin Suisui and explained to her with a smile, “We’ve already investigated and asked most of the questions we need to ask. With the roster accounts provided by Ma Deng, it’s enough to topple all the evil people above. As for the ants below, when the replacement comes, they can use them to establish their might and win over the public.

After this farce, we can finally celebrate New Year’s.”

Lu Ze patted the back of Lin Suisui’s hand and lowered his voice as he approached. He stared into the little girl’s bright eyes even under the dim yellow light as he said, “How about I accompany you to the market tomorrow?!”

“No, you’d better lie down and recuperate first!” Lin Suisui raised her hand and pushed him gently as she said in a low voice, “At least wait for the next few days to pass!”

Once Pei Qian made a move, he would get things done in one fell swoop.

In the past, they had been drinking at the same table as him and felt that Mr. Pei was really an approachable vassal of the general’s residence. They didn’t expect Mr. Pei, who seemed so down-to-earth, to have such a cruel and ruthless side.

More than ten families were confiscated.

Once they resisted, they would be merciless!

In just one night, the entire Cloud Mountain City changed!

Lin Suisui originally didn’t intend to go out, but she still lacked a few herbs for the prescription for Lu Ze, so she finally decided to go out with Yuan Niang.

At the same time, she also brought back Yuan Niang’s tonic.

Today, the streets were clearly much more desolate than when they came out a few days ago. Looking at the clearly much fewer pedestrians around her and the serious and murderous soldiers walking by from time to time, Lin Suisui couldn’t help but feel worried.

Although the shopkeeper of the pharmacy didn’t know Lin Suisui’s identity, he recognized Lin Suisui’s incomparably imposing carriage. After all, they had seen everything that had happened in front of Qifeng Hall!

Now that Lin Suisui suddenly looked for them, after the shopkeeper came out of the shop, he felt his legs go weak…
