Chapter 169 Life is in danger
When Shen Junxing, who was working in the Ministry of Personnel, heard that something had happened to his sister Shen Ruyi, he immediately asked for leave from his superiors and rushed back with Imperial Physician Jiang.
When Shen Junxing saw Shen Ruyi lying on the bed, his head was buzzing.
It's only been a few months since I last saw my sister, how come she has become like this, neither human nor ghost?
Doctor Jiang didn't care about etiquette. He just glanced at Shen Ruyi and his face suddenly changed.
He took two steps at a time, walked forward, stretched out his hand to feel Shen Ruyi's pulse, and then opened Shen Ruyi's eyelids to take a look.
He quickly took out a pill from the medicine box and stuffed it into Shen Ruyi's mouth. Then he took out a silver needle and stabbed it into Shen Ruyi's head and hand in one go.
Seeing Doctor Jiang's actions, Shen Junxing realized that the situation was not good, and his heart suddenly tightened. He stepped forward quickly but did not dare to speak rashly, for fear of interrupting Doctor Jiang's acupuncture.
Nanny Qi and the court doctor were standing in the room with different thoughts in their minds. The court doctor glanced at Old Madam Shen guiltily, with guilt written all over his face.
Not until the last silver needle fell did Doctor Jiang straighten up and calmly give instructions to Shen Junxing.
"Jun Xing, immediately have someone prepare a carriage and send it to Guangning Temple to find Master Guanghong. Ruyi's condition is very bad now..."
"Doctor Jiang, what happened to Ruyi? The court physician just examined her and said that Ruyi just had anemia and would be fine after a few days of rest. Did you see it wrong?" Old Madam Shen rushed over with a look of panic on her face, tears streaming down her face.
Doctor Jiang didn't even look at Old Lady Shen, but yelled at Shen Junxing, whose body was trembling slightly.
"Why are you still standing there? Are you going to watch Ruyi die?" Doctor Jiang's eyes were cold and his hands and feet were shaking with anger.
Doctor Jiang is an old friend of the old marquis Shen Weishan, which is why Shen Junxing was able to invite him here so quickly.
He has watched Shen Ruyi grow up since she was a child. When she was a child, Shen Ruyi was fair and tender, with delicate features, a lively personality and was very likable.
At that time, Shen Ruyi was Shen Weishan's treasure and he took her everywhere.
After Shen Ruyi grew up, she became sworn sisters with the daughter of Imperial Doctor Jiang, and thus the relationship between the two families has always been close.
After Shen Ruyi disappeared, as an old friend of the old marquis, Doctor Jiang naturally knew about it and secretly mobilized his connections to help find her.
The Shen family had been searching for him for several years and finally found him, but how come he had only been enjoying his happiness for a few days before he became like this, lying in bed dying?
If that old man far away at the border knew about this, I don't know how sad he would be.
Doctor Jiang felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
Shen Ruyi has been back for ten years. Except for the time when she first came back and was seen from afar at a banquet in the Marquis' Mansion, she has never appeared in public since then.
His married daughter sent invitations to Shen Ruyi several times, hoping to invite her to her house for a gathering or to visit her.
Helplessly, all the posts were rejected, with the only reply being that the person was not feeling well and needed to rest.
Imperial Physician Jiang dealt with empresses and concubines from various palaces every day, and was accustomed to the despicable practices in the harem.
From the mess in the courtyard when entering Lengyuexuan just now, one could tell that Ruyi must have suffered a lot in the Marquis' Mansion.
"Aqi, go and prepare the carriage immediately." Shen Junxing calmed himself down and immediately told Ah Qi to do it.
He didn't even ask Doctor Jiang the reason, because he knew very well what kind of person Doctor Jiang was.
Ah Qi came back soon and told Shen Junxing that the carriage was ready.
Imperial Physician Jiang instructed Shen Junxing to carry Shen Ruyi out and put her into the carriage parked at the side door.
The court doctor who followed out wanted to step forward to stop them.
"Doctor Jiang, I just checked the eldest lady's pulse and found that she is suffering from anemia..."
"Shut up!" Shen Junxing had a gloomy face. He kicked the court doctor aside and ordered his men to tie him up first and wait for him to come back to deal with him.
The palace doctor immediately cried out in injustice, saying that he had worked hard in the mansion for so many years, and even if he had no credit, he had worked hard, and it was really wrong for Shen Junxing to do this.
Doctor Jiang stopped and walked up to him step by step.
"Miss Shen is just suffering from blood deficiency? Is that so? You have been in the Marquis' Mansion for many years. I believe you have checked Miss Shen's pulse on a daily basis. Do you really not know that Miss Shen has been poisoned? Or do you not know that Miss Shen suffers from rickets?"
No matter how good-tempered Doctor Jiang was, he couldn't help but scold the court physician.
"Jun Xing, I know you are a capable person in the government, and it's time to clear out the evil spirits in your house."
"Your Ruyi has suffered from rickets for a day or two. Her limbs are loose and weak. Isn't Minister Shen's salary enough to support a girl? Why is your sister the only one who lacks food?"
After saying this, Doctor Jiang turned away and got on the carriage.
People outside say that the current mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, Tang Qingmei, is kind and has good family background, but it's just a joke.
If it weren't for the deliberate connivance and instigation of the mistress, he didn't believe that the servants in the Marquis' Mansion would dare to be so bold.
Shen Junxing naturally believed in what Doctor Jiang said. He glanced at everyone in the yard with a gloomy face, especially Aunt Qi who was kneeling on the ground. Indescribable emotions were churning in his heart.
Now, the sister that he had found with great difficulty was said by Imperial Doctor Jiang to be suffering from rickets and had been poisoned by a chronic drug.
Shen Junxing was so ashamed at this time that he had no face to show. He was busy with court affairs every day and didn't pay much attention to the rear quarters.
He knew that Tang Qingmei was not as simple as she seemed, so he had been looking for the truth behind Shen Ruyi's disappearance.
But after finally finding a clue, it was lost again.
Shen Junxing knew that Tang Qingmei was a competitive person who was extremely concerned about face and reputation.
Therefore, he never thought of interfering in Leng Yuexuan's daily arrangements.
He never dreamed that Tang Qingmei would be so bold as to do this right under his nose.
In front of him, he ordered his servants to bring him exquisite cloth, jewelry and fine food.
However, he secretly ordered his servants to withhold his sister's food and even gave her a chronic poison.
Shen Junxing felt as if there was a fire burning in his chest. He gritted his teeth and tried his best to suppress the discomfort in his chest, and gave several orders to Ah Qi.
Including that the old lady was unwell and had to recuperate in Fushou Hall from now on and not receive any outside visitors. He also ordered him to lock up all the servants in the mansion and he would come back to interrogate them personally.
Finally, he secretly found another confidant and told him to go to Jingye Temple to delay Tang Qingmei's trip for a few days.
After explaining all this, Shen Junxing drove the car himself and sped all the way to Guangning Temple.
His heart was filled with guilt towards Shen Ruyi. His own sister, whom he had personally found, almost died right under his nose.
Shen Junxing couldn't forgive himself.
Grief, anger and guilt surged in his heart, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of Shen Junxing's mouth.
