Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Zhou Huaijin, Sword One, Fu Bao and Qing all held their breath as they looked at Li Qing, wondering what answer they would get out of him. Zhou Huaijin asked Li Qing to check up Chaoyan only because Li Qing was the only doctor available that could be trusted at the moment. However, Zhou Huaijin did not believe that Li Qing was capable enough to figure out anything.

However, Li Qing had an answer anyway, which surprised and worried Zhou Huaijin.

Being stared at by so many pairs of eyes, Li Qing did not retreat but said seriously, “I think that Lady Chaoyan must have been drugged.”

“…”

“Lady Chaoyan tends to feel very cold. So she chose a place facing north in the yard of Xinlin Mansion. The room gets quite heated in summer, and I can tell that she is still dressed for April, which basically means that Lady Chaoyan is physically different from normal people.”

!!

“…”

“She suddenly fell asleep with a fever, and the cold woke her up, but she doesn’t look pale. She looks flushed. So I don’t think that she is suffering from a cold.”

“…”

“She wouldn’t suffer like this if it was just a normal illness. So the only explanation is that she has been drugged. And that is what a person suffering from being drugged looks like.”

“…”

“She can be given ice if she feels hot, and vice versa. So putting ice here is okay.”

“…”

“The biggest issue is what drug it was and how it can be detoxified.”

“…”

“I am incapable of saving her,” Li Qing said, looking very distressed.

He felt that he was very capable, but after he met Lady Chaoyan, he realized that someone could be even more gifted and talented than he was.

Now he stood right here and knew that he could not do anything. He was not good at detoxifying.

Lady Chaoyan helped him.

He was impulsive so he b.u.mped into Lady Chaoyan. She not only did not blame him, but also taught him some medical skills. And thanks to her reminder, he and his family were saved.

He chose to visit Xinlin Gate because he decided to work for Lady Chaoyan, but he was helpless. He felt so distressed.

Because of what Li Qing said, Zhou Huaijin felt his mind open. It was the best Li Qing could do.

He patted Li Qing’s shoulders. “Thank you for your help. She has been like this for a while, so don’t feel too stressed. You can stay for a few more days at Xinlin Mansion to watch out for some other emergencies.”

Li Qing nodded. He was more than happy to do so.

By this time, the ice had been brought over.

Coolness dominated the room.

Gu Chaoyan became increasingly flushed, and she got better. Zhou Huaijin let out a sigh of relief.

Li Qing said, “Lady Chaoyan should wake up at the latest tomorrow. I will get some ginger soup ready. She may feel much cooler as she wakes up. Ginger soup should help.”

Zhou Huaijin nodded and let Li Qing go.

Someone from Shadow Door arrived.

Sword One said, “Lord Huai, just go and meet them. They must be here with an important message. I can take care of Elder Miss.”
