“Old man!” Xu Liang was already scared out of his wits.
There was a flash of silhouettes beside him, and along with the sound of a tealight falling to the ground, Qin Qian had rushed over to hold the old gentleman.
The scholars below stood up in shock.
“Old sir!”
Qin Qian shouted eagerly.
The old gentleman’s eyes were tightly closed and there was not a single response.
Xu Liang’s face was white and his hands shook as he tried to pick up the old man, but he did not have the slightest strength.
Gu Yi had already rushed up to the high platform, picked up the old gentleman from Qin Qian’s arms and walked quickly down the stairs. The dean and a group of husbandmen gathered around with pale faces.
“Enshu!”
“Old sir!”
“Get out of the way, all of you, and send someone to find the little girl!”
Early on the moment he rushed onto the high platform, Xiao Si darted off to find Song Wan Yue. He vaguely saw Song Wangyue helping Qi Ying to the back. Just a short distance after running out, Song Wangyue had already come running over, “What happened?”
The shouts of alarm from the scholars were so loud that she heard them from the back.
“Something has happened to the old gentleman ……”
Before the words left her mouth, there was no longer any figure of Song Wangyue in front of her.
Xiao Si turned and followed, shouting as he ran, “Get out of the way, all of you get out of the way!”
As the crowd made way, Song Wangyue ran to Gu Yi and put her finger on the old man’s pulse.
Everyone held their breath.
As time passed a little, Song Wangyue’s face grew heavier and heavier, she raised her eyebrows and looked at everyone in a sinister manner, “Xiao Si, go and get my master to come here. Dean, seal off the academy, no one is allowed in or out except for Xiao Si!”
Xiao Si turned and darted away.
The dean shook his voice, “Enshu is ……”
“Poisoned!”
All of them drew back a breath of cold air.
The dean almost fell to the ground and held onto the shoulder of the master beside him before he could barely stand, “Quickly, seal off the academy, no one is allowed in or out!”
“Xu Liang, you go and bring the tealight that Grandpa Grandpa drank tea from just now; Gu Yi, you carry Grandpa Grandpa to the common room; Dean, you comfort the scholars, don’t move around or panic yet.”
The people were all panicked, and only when they heard her words did they regain a bit of composure, and the husbandmen let the dean go over with them while they stayed behind to reassure the scholars.
Gu Yi put the old gentleman on the bed in the common room, Song Wan’s finger was once again on the old gentleman’s pulse, just now in front of so many people she didn’t say, the poison that her maternal great grandfather had been poisoned with was very strange, she couldn’t even tell what kind of poison it was for a while.
“Grand-great-grandfather is lucky, he will be fine.”
Gu Yi knew in her heart that the poison given by Doctor Yao would not harm the old gentleman’s body, it would just make him sleep for a few days.
Song Wangyue didn’t say anything, her brow growing tighter and tighter.
A quarter of an hour later, Doctor Yao came over with Xiao Si, exchanging a glance with Gu Yi the moment he entered, looking anxious as he walked to the bedside, not even taking the time to sit on a stool, kneeling directly on the floor to give the old gentleman his pulse being taken.
The moment his finger hit the pulse, he visibly froze, and then looked grave.
Gu Yi could see clearly and his eyes fell on the old man’s face: his face was still rosy and his breathing was long. The symptoms were the same as what Dr. Yao had said about being poisoned by the poison he had developed, but what did Dr. Yao mean when he froze just now?
It was only after a full cup of tea that Doctor Yao let go of his hand, beads of sweat already forming on his forehead, “I can’t find out what kind of poison the old man has been poisoned by, so I’ll take a silver needle to seal his heart pulse first.”
Xiaosi put the medicine box on the ground, Dr. Yao opened it, took out the needle set and opened it on the ground, took out the silver needle and tied it, said, “To find out what kind of poison the old man has, it is best to find the source of the poison, I wonder what the old man has eaten and drunk today? ”
“Xu Liang!”
Song Wangyue shouted.
Xu Liang came in and put the pieces of the tealight on the floor with shaking hands. Dr. Yao extracted a silver needle, tried them one by one, and shook his head, “The tealight is fine.”
“Impossible!”
Song Wan Yue did not believe it, squatting down to take the silver needle and try again, the silver needle was as clean as new, without the slightest discoloration.
Song Wangyue put the silver needle on the needle sleeve and put all the broken porcelain pieces together, it was exactly like a tealight, no less than a little, she did not die and tried again, the silver needle still did not change colour.
“Where’s the teapot? Go and bring the teapot.”
When her words fell, Qin Qian came over with the teapot and silently placed it on the floor, with half a pot of tea inside.
“Breakfast was eaten with me and Gu Yi, also accompanied by maternal great-grandfather, after coming he only drank tea ……”
Something flashed through Song Wan Yue’s mind and she looked at Qin Qian, “Where are the teapot and tealight from this morning, bring them over.”
Qin Qian turned around and went to get them.
“Little Four, you follow.”
Xiao Si followed quickly, and in a short while Qin Qian brought the tealight and teapot, which had been cleaned, and still nothing had been checked out.
The dean’s eyes were black, his lips moved a few times, wanting to ask something, but he could not make a sound.
Song Wan Yue got up and walked out, Gu Yi followed her.
Outside, the students were already in a mess, not because they were sealed inside the academy, but because they were worried about the old man’s condition.
Song Wangyue raised both her hands high and gestured for everyone to quiet down. Her voice was not too high, and with the addition of her inner strength, word by word reached everyone’s ears, “We all know that the old gentleman has been poisoned, but the source of the poison has not yet been found, so please line up one by one according to your seat numbers, I have something to ask you.”
Several hundred students quickly lined up in an orderly fashion.
“Think carefully, during the suspension of classes, did anyone in front of or behind you go out? If so, please tell me truthfully.”
Not one person spoke.
It had been their lifelong dream to listen to the old gentleman’s lectures, and when they finally got there, they wanted to have eight ears, so how could they leave their seats in the middle of the lesson?
“No one is moving around?
“No.”
All the men spoke in unison.
“I believe you, you can go back.”
None of the scholars moved.
“Let’s all go back first, it’s not conducive for me to find the source of the poison with so many people here.”
Only then did the scholars move out in an orderly manner.
Qi Ying came this way from behind with feeble footsteps. Every few steps she took, she stopped to take a break.
Before she could speak, Song Wan Yue said to her, “Sister Qi, go back too, take care on your way.”
Qi Ying wanted to say something, but Song Wan Yue had already turned around and entered the house.
Qi Ying had to turn around and follow the scholars outside. When she reached the spot on the high platform where she had just stood, her feet weakened and she fell to the ground.
“Are you alright?”
One of the students wanted to help her but did not dare to do so.
“I’m fine, just sit for a while.”
Seeing that she did not look like she was in any serious trouble, the scholar did not ask more questions and walked forward.
Qi Ying took the time to get up by holding onto a large tree, quickly took out a packet of broken porcelain pieces from behind the tree and hid them in her sleeve, stood up straight and walked out with the scholars with no difference in expression.
