Chapter 60: Chapter 60 Condition_1 Chapter 60: Chapter 60 Condition_1 Yang ngchen spoke gently to comfort him, “Uncle Luo need not feel guilty; after all, he was poisoned by several kinds of toxins, and it’s quite normal that Uncle Luo didn’t discover them.”
Everyone felt as if a flock of crows had just flown over their heads. If an Imperial Physician couldn’t diagnose the poison, they should just go ho and take care of their children. But when Doctor Luo couldn’t diagnose it, it was considered normal? Was Ms. Yang’s partiality that blatant?
Doctor Luo was touched, and the sense of guilt in his heart was slightly alleviated.
Several kinds of poison? Long Xuanmo and the others’ expressions changed drastically, their eyes flickering with icy, bone-chilling coldness and murderous intent.
Nangong Lingfei couldn’t wait to ask, “May I ask Ms. Yang, what poisons are they exactly? Ms. Yang, do you have a way to cure them?”
Yang ngchen’s lips were tightly pursed, and she ignored Nangong Lingfei completely.
Seeing that the young girl paid no heed to Nangong Lingfei’s words, Doctor Luo, who was also concerned for Hua Ziyu, asked, “Young lady, please tell us what kinds of poison are they? How can they be cured?”
“Apart from the toxins caused by the incompatibility of ingredients and dicinal substances I’ve ntioned to Uncle Luo before, Lady Hua was also poisoned with a rare poison while carrying him,” Yang ngchen explained. “This poison is called ‘Heart-wrenching.’ It is colorless and tasteless. Those poisoned exhibit symptoms resembling severe illness, starting from the heart and gradually weakening until withering away to death;
Moreover, the ingredients used to create this poison are extrely rare, one of the main ingredients only grows in the deepest parts of the Beiyue Country’s desert, and the process of concocting it is extrely strict and complex. Ordinary people have never even heard of this poison, not to ntion diagnosing it;
I too, only ca across it by chance in the book ‘Beiyue Chatters.’ However, it’s only briefly ntioned and not elaborated upon. Even if a doctor saw it, they might not pay attention to it, and even if they paid attention, they might not take it seriously;
When Lady Hua was poisoned, she was carrying him, and thus all of the toxins were transferred to him. Coupled with Lady Hua experiencing a fright leading to a premature birth, the Imperial Physicians naturally diagnosed him as suffering damage while in the womb;
Fortunately, since others were not aware that he was already poisoned and subsequently administered more poison to him, the various toxins counteracted each other, leaving him unaffected, otherwise, he wouldn’t be alive today;
And indeed, I have a way to remove the toxins he has been poisoned with, but…”
Putting aside how Lady Hua managed it, considering Hua Ziyu’s gentle and cultured appearance, how could he have incurred the hatred of so many people, continuously being poisoned? Yang ngchen found the affairs of the noble and powerful families to be unfathomably deep and sordid.
Doctor Luo suddenly realized he indeed never heard of such a rare poison.
“But what?” Nangong Lingfei saw a glimr of hope for the first ti and couldn’t help but ask eagerly.
Yang ngchen continued to disregard Nangong Lingfei.
Everyone eagerly looked at Yang ngchen, feeling heartache for Hua Ziyu upon hearing about the tornt he had endured from the poisons over the years.
Hua Ziyu himself appeared calm and collected on the surface, yet his hands clenched into fists under the blanket, revealing his emotions of surprise and excitent.
Gazing intently at Yang ngchen, Long Xuanmo said coldly, “Ms. Yang… Just state your conditions outright!”
Glancing at Nangong Lingfei with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, Yang ngchen said indifferently, “The first condition is for Young Master Nangong to apologize to Uncle Luo right now, to compensate for the damages incurred to Uncle Luo’s dicine lodge, totaling ten thousand taels, and to ensure that he will not show the slightest disrespect to Uncle Luo ever again!”
Everyone watched Yang ngchen in amazent, truly not expecting her to demand such conditions.
Doctor Luo also showed surprise on his face.
And Nangong Lingfei suddenly sprang up like a chicken that had just been startled, “What kind of condition is this?”
“Disrespecting Uncle Luo, damaging his life’s work, and even forcing him to leave his holand—if Uncle Luo weren’t so magnanimous, the first ti I t you, not only would I not have clarified Drunken Immortal Tavern’s innocence, I would have made you wish you were dead! You should be very clear that I have the ability to do it without anyone noticing!” Yang ngchen casually fiddled with the black needle in her hand, “And now I’m only asking you to apologize to Uncle Luo, which is already letting you off too easily.”
Nangong Lingfei glared at Yang ngchen with such fury that he looked like he could crush a mosquito between his furrowed brows.
He admitted that he should not have impulsively mistreated Uncle Shi back then, especially now that he had heard about the rare and complex poison Ziyu had been afflicted with; he had indeed wrongly blad Uncle Shi. Yet, apologizing in front of so many people was a very embarrassing and shaful matter for soone who always cared about his reputation.
Seeing that Nangong Lingfei had been silent for a while, Yang ngchen said coolly, “Doesn’t Young Master Nangong prattle about the deep brotherly love with Young Master Hua? How co you can’t even agree to such a simple condition?”
Hearing Yang ngchen’s choking words, Nangong Lingfei wanted to retort but choked on his own saliva, his face turning beet red.
“Young Master Nangong?” Black Hawk looked at Nangong Lingfei pleadingly, wishing he could kneel down and kowtow to him.
Long Xuanmo also looked at Nangong Lingfei, silent, but with a gaze as profound as an abyss.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Nangong Lingfei clenched his teeth and knelt on one knee before Doctor Luo, “I’m sorry, Uncle Shi. I was too rash before and wrongfully accused you. You are magnanimous, please forgive my past mistakes. I promise never to show any disrespect to Uncle Shi again!”
“Speak up, I didn’t hear you,” said Yang ngchen loudly, clearly unsatisfied.
He turned and gave Yang ngchen a fierce glare, but seeing the faintly glowing black needles in her fingertips, and rembering that Ziyu still needed her treatnt, Nangong Lingfei quickly averted his gaze and repeated the apology louder than before.
“Nephew, rise. The past is in the past, let us not bring it up again,” Doctor Luo reached out to help Nangong Lingfei up.
Nangong Lingfei took Doctor Luo’s hand and stood up, then turned to look at Yang ngchen, “What is Ms. Yang’s second condition?”
“The second condition is simple.”
Yang ngchen wore a mischievous smile, yet so found it chilling, “From now on, every three days, Big Brother Luo must write a letter ho to Uncle Luo, even if it’s just a few words. And no matter how busy he is, as long as he is in the sa place as Uncle Luo, he must have dinner with Uncle Luo every day and chat for half an hour. Even if they don’t talk, accompanying Uncle Luo for a walk or sitting quietly and drinking tea is also acceptable.”
As far as she knew, since he left for The Capital, Luo Jingrui hadn’t written a single letter ho to Uncle Luo. Although Uncle Luo hadn’t said anything, the longing and dejection in his eyes were clear for all to see.
“Isn’t Ms. Yang treating Jingrui a bit too well? Just like family!” Nangong Lingfei imdiately cried out in dissatisfaction.
With an icy glare at Nangong Lingfei, Long Xuanmo’s gaze toward Yang ngchen was deep and complex.
Yang ngchen ignored Nangong Lingfei and turned her gaze towards Luo Jingrui, her tone aningful and drawn out, “Big Brother Luo, don’t bla for ddling, but you should actually feel fortunate that Uncle Luo is only devoted to dical Skill and hasn’t acted recklessly like so, attracting a bunch of concubines and illegitimate children to cause trouble. His heart has always been with Aunty Luo and the three of you brothers;
“Big Brother Luo, you should know that ‘children wish to support their parents, but parents may not always be there’ is the most heart-wrenching thing in this world. Don’t wait until it’s too late to regret it, Big Brother Luo. Do you think I’m right?”
