Chapter 188.1 - Using a scheme to outwit a scheme
“I … I …” The old doctor’s face was a bit pale as he stuttered and wanted to hide.
Lou Qufeng’s glare and the hatred in his eyes was too strong, the old doctor’s body was shaking.
“Prime minister, please punish me, this old doctor didn’t investigate clearly, just didn’t check properly, this old doctor will look again!”
“No need! Housekeeper, go get another doctor!”
“Yes!” The housekeeper uncle Liu was also nearly about to faint from this sudden tragedy to sudden joy.
Once he received Lou Qufeng’s orders, he quickly went to find another new doctor.
Not too long later, he came back with another doctor, and he was actually the G.o.dly doctor Xue, renowned in the whole capital.
Lou Qufeng froze when he saw the G.o.dly doctor.
After all, this G.o.dly doctor Xue was in a position almost equal to an imperial doctor, to the point where a few of the imperial doctors were actually formerly under his tutelage.
He was almost impossible to request, even with thousands of gold, so who would’ve thought that this G.o.dly doctor would’ve actually come?
Lou Qufeng quickly jumped to his feet and welcomed him inside.
He spoke a bit with the G.o.dly doctor as he went and took the fourth madam’s pulse.
Taking this opportunity, Lou Qufeng quickly asked Uncle Liu, “How did you manage to get the G.o.dly doctor Xue to come here?”
Uncle Liu shook his head hard, “How could this old servant have the ability to do that? I just stepped out of the residence and when the G.o.dly doctor Xue heard that there was an issue, he came inside.”
Otherwise, how could he have gotten a doctor to come so quickly?
Lou Qufeng also found it strange as he rubbed his head.
But just thinking about how the G.o.dly doctor Xue was here, he felt a bit at ease.
On the other hand, when Lou Qingwu saw the G.o.dly doctor Xue, her brows slightly furrowed together.
After a few moments, the G.o.dly doctor Xue finished his check up.
He packed up his silver needles and stood up, washing his hands before opening his medicinal box and writing a prescription. “The fourth madam and her child are both very well, she’s just lacking a bit in qi and blood, maybe she touched something she shouldn’t have.”
“Ah, then would there be anything impacting the child …”
“Don’t worry, the harm has already been destroyed.” The G.o.dly doctor Xue spoke almost callously.
Lou Qufeng heard this and felt even more strange about it, what did he mean, touched something she shouldn’t have?
“G.o.dly doctor, could you speak more clearly?”
“You really want to know?” The G.o.dly doctor Xue’s hands stopped, as he looked at Lou Qufeng in the eye.
When he saw the conviction in his eyes, he stood up again, “Left prime minister, please follow me.”
When Lou Qufeng followed him, he saw that the G.o.dly doctor lifted up Chi Mei’er’s hand and pointed to a red mark on the back of her hand.
He spoke, “I’ll tell you, this thing, is called the red scorpion voodoo worm. It’s a type of voodoo poison, it can burrow in from a single wound and then somehow, make a pregnant woman miscarry. But the period from when a voodoo worm will activate, is a bit long, it takes about 14-24 hours. So it seems, around the time from dinner last night.”
When the G.o.dly doctor Xue spoke to here, everyone’s face changed.
Lou Qufeng instantly turned to Ruan Zhen.
Ruan Zhen’s face instantly paled.
She had no idea that anyone would even know of the red scorpion voodoo worm … her face was shockingly pale, “Laoye … I …. I ….”
“You sl*t!” Lou Qufeng slapped her face!
Ruan Zhen staggered, falling back against the bed as she hit her head on the headboard, her forehead begun to bleed.
She was completely shocked and scared, but even more than that, she was uneasy.
How did she get found out?
