The Poisonous Consort, the Regent's Beloved

Chapter 158 An Unprecedented Method

She originally thought that Su Fuying would panic because of the murder, and might even kneel down and beg for mercy, but she did not expect that this woman who lived in seclusion would be so calm and composed, and could say such a thing in a matter-of-fact manner.

"Enough! Liu, I have been more than kind to you. Since you are so shameless, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Su Chengde's face was so gloomy it seemed like it could drip water, and his eyes were fixed on Liu Shi, filled with anger and disappointment.

This incident filled him with immense shame and anger.

Especially Liu Mang's words just now. Although others may not know whether they are true or false, he, as one of the parties involved, knows it very well.

At this moment, he felt nothing but endless anger and hatred.

He immediately interrupted Liu's words sternly, turned to look at Physician He, and said in a stiff tone, "Thank you for your trouble, Physician He."

Meanwhile, seeing that it was almost time, Su Fuying instructed Physician He, "Let's begin."

Physician He naturally understood her meaning. He was just a passerby, yet he had stumbled upon such a shocking revelation, which made him extremely nervous.

He stepped forward, carefully observed the steps and requirements on the recipe, and then cautiously picked up the items in his hand and began to arrange them according to the recipe.

Every step requires extreme caution, because the slightest mistake could lead to failure or even endanger one's life.

Therefore, he was completely focused on the operation and dared not be careless in the slightest.

Meanwhile, Madam Liu stood aside, observing everything with a cold eye.

She had long heard that Su Chengde was barely clinging to life using a folk remedy.

Seeing him in his current state of near death, a hint of mockery welled up in her heart.

After all, she knew Su Chengde's current situation well, which made her feel that this was nothing but a futile effort.

She secretly thought that as long as Liu Suchengde died, Su Mingqian could inherit the position of Minister, and the entire Minister's Mansion would become their Zhongshu Ling Mansion's possession.

However, at that moment, Liu Hui suddenly let out a shrill scream.

The scream shattered the silence of the room, startling everyone.

Everyone looked up and saw Liu Hui clutching her stomach, lying on the ground, rolling around in pain, her face as pale as a sheet of paper.

"Mother, Mother, save me..."

Large beads of sweat rolled down Liu Hui's forehead, her eyes filled with fear and despair as she looked at Madam Liu for help.

Madam Liu was also shocked. She rushed forward in three steps and looked anxiously at Liu Hui, who was rolling on the ground in pain.

Just as she was about to help the person up, the moment her hand touched her skin, Liu Hui's screams grew even louder, and Madam Liu quickly withdrew her hand.

For a moment, she was at a loss, unsure of what to do with her raised hands.

"What have you done to my daughter?!"

A wave of panic washed over Madam Liu, but she knew in her heart that this matter must be related to the people in front of her; otherwise, Liu Hui wouldn't have become like this for no reason.

"I just want to see who administered the poison to the Minister's body."

The old lady stood by the bed, coldly watching Madam Liu. Their eyes met, neither giving an inch.

Madam Liu was a little younger, but she was well-maintained and had a beautiful face. Standing next to Liu Hui, they looked like sisters.

"Madam, His Majesty personally investigated this matter and found it to be the work of this lowly servant. How could it be my daughter?"

"Whether it will be clear after one try or not."

The old lady's gaze fell on Liu Hui, her eyes filled with coldness.

Madam Liu wanted to say something, but upon hearing Liu Hui's incessant wails, she immediately forgot everything else.

"mother……"

Liu Hui lay on the ground, writhing constantly, her clothes soaked with sweat and clinging to her body. Her cries had become hoarse.

"Hui'er!"

Madam Liu was extremely anxious, but Biluo held her tightly. She struggled free, her face turning extremely ugly, and turned to glare at Su Fuying: "Su Fuying, how dare you treat me like this?!"

"Why wouldn't I dare?" Su Fuying sneered.

"You attempted to murder a high-ranking official of the court; how could I, the princess, stand idly by?"

Just as the two servants and the old nanny brought by Madam Liu were about to step forward to help, a figure flashed in from outside the door. Shadow Two drew his sword and stood in front of them, his voice cold and sharp:

"Those who advance will die!"

The group was startled by the sudden appearance of the man, and when they saw the long sword gleaming coldly below his neck, the thought of retreat flashed through their minds.

Su Fuying's gaze remained fixed on Physician He's hand. Just as he was about to insert a silver needle into Su Chengde's chest, she suddenly spoke up to stop him, saying, "Physician He. Something's not right!"

Physician He's hand trembled as he was being interrupted while administering acupuncture. He was about to get angry when he met Su Fuying's dark eyes, and his anger suddenly subsided.

"Princess? Is something wrong?"

"Doctor He, it should be in the abdomen."

Su Fuying pointed to the spot below where Physician He had just inserted the needle.

Following her gaze, Physician He frowned slightly and asked with some doubt, "Why is the Princess so certain? What the book says..."

Under Su Fuying's affirmative gaze, Physician He turned his head somewhat uncertainly to look at the medical book, which indeed clearly stated the locations where he would insert the needles.

Su Fuying continued, "I'm afraid Physician He missed a few words."

The woman's slender white finger pointed to the last line of the book, where a small note read, "Change at will according to the duration of the poisoning."

"Imperial Physician He, the poison in Minister Su has been ingested for too long. The poisonous worms have already flowed along the meridians to the heart, so the acupuncture point should be lower down."

Perhaps it was in her area of ​​expertise that the coldness on her face completely disappeared, and instead, the hidden arrogance that could look down on everything resurfaced.

Physician He had never seen such confidence in a woman before, and he was momentarily stunned.

Su Fuying was somewhat helpless. She took the silver needle from his hand, exerted force with her fingertips, and without hesitation, stuck the needle into Su Chengde's body.

"Om~"

The silver needle was precisely inserted into the acupoint.

Doctor He's eyes widened, the silver needle at his fingertips still emitting a slight buzzing sound.

"This……"

Physician He was so surprised he couldn't close his mouth.

"call."

Su Chengde, whose face was ashen on the bed, suddenly let out a long sigh of relief. Then his old face scrunched up and he murmured softly.

Physician He was so shocked by Su Fuying's acupuncture technique that he couldn't recover for a long time. His eyes were wide open and his mouth was slightly open, as if time had stopped flowing.

At this moment, he was completely immersed in the awe brought by this miraculous acupuncture technique.
