Left Eye Twitches for Fortune, Right Eye Twitches for Disaster

On the first day of the new year, Lu Yan coughed up a large mouthful of blood. This left everyone in the Lu manor in a panic. It just so happened that the four doctors that had been invited into the manor by Ge shi were all standing in Lu Song's study. Holding the box of bird nests that had not yet been finished, one of them said to him: "Lord Prime Minister, we lowly ones have already taken a look at these bird nests, and we determined that there is no problem. They are all high-quality supplements."

Ge shi and Lu Song exchanged a glance, and the two could see the surprise in each other's eyes. Something being wrong with the bird nests was the thought that had filled their minds. Now that they heard them say that there was nothing wrong with the bird nests themselves, they did not know what they should say.

It was Lu Song that was the first to mentally recover and asked the four doctors: "Are you sure? Bird nest is not a common thing. Perhaps you did not look it over carefully enough."

One of the doctors quickly replied: "Replying to Lord Prime Minister, for fear of not being able to tell accurately, we all checked on our own first. We then wrote down our thoughts on a piece of paper before gathering together to compare notes. We all reached the same conclusion. Only then did we come and report to Lord Prime Minister and Madam."

Ge shi also helplessly said: "Indeed, that is the case. I personally saw it." While speaking, she looked at the box of bird nests. All kinds of thoughts were going through her mind. If the problem did not lie with the bird nests, where would it have come from? It was impossible for Lu Yan to have fallen ill like this for no reason. She was neither feverish nor had a cold. Even the doctor from Hundred Herb Hall that had come yesterday had said that it was a poison. As for detoxifying the poison, forcefully doing it was possible, but it would cause the young miss to suffer, and immediate results were an impossibility. They could only come up with one idea, which was to find the specific medicine to deal with the poison. Only by knowing where the poison was, finding out who did the poisoning, then obtaining the medicine from them could they quickly deal with the poison.

Even the doctor from Hundred Herb Hall had said that it was poison, thus it was definitely a poison, but the problem was: where exactly had that poison come from?

Lu Song felt unreconciled and questioned the four doctors for a little while longer. Seeing that no other information could be obtained from them, he finally waved his hand and allowed them to leave. Ge shi personally sent the four doctors to the entrance and gave them some shattered silver. It was very shabby, but because they had just gone to find a poison and had not gone for an examination, the group did not say much.

After Ge shi returned inside the manor and closed the gates, the four moved quite a distance before stopping. They all raised their hands and wiped the sweat from their brows. The sweat was all a cold sweat.

"Comrades, you should understand what was going on, right!" The oldest one was the first to speak, lowering his voice: "We are all medical practitioners. Whether or not there was anything wrong with the bird nests, we should all be very clear."

With him taking the lead, the other three had to pour out what was on their minds, with one immediately saying: "Indeed, having worked in medicine for many years, if even this bit could not be seen through, we would not be worthy of becoming doctors."

"That's right!" Another person said: "Those bird nests were poisoned, and it was very clear that they had been. It made it clear that they did not fear being found out. Being so brazen in their work combined with the truly high-quality bird nest, even if we could see through that sort of poison, we don't dare say anything!"
