Time Travel: The Noble Family

Ma Chengteng received a message sent by Zhuang Ruolan and stormed out of Yamen, leaving his colleagues stunned and uncertain about what major incident had occurred.

Doctor Zhang arrived quite quickly. He was not familiar with Lady Mo or Lian Dongfang and had been summoned by Zhuang Ruolan, so he acted without reservation.

After examining Yueyao’s pulse, Doctor Zhang also questioned Xi Yu and Xiang Wei. He then told Zhuang Ruolan, "The young lady has been poisoned. Fortunately, the method they used was appropriate and there is no danger to her life. However, some poison remains in her body. I will prescribe three doses of medicine first, and then she must be nourished properly." Doctor Zhang had seen many schemes employed by the concubines in the palace, and was also familiar with the tricks of the back house. It was, however, the first time he had seen someone so blatantly target a child.

Zhuang Ruolan was very worried about potential lingering effects.

Doctor Zhang shook his head and said, "Don’t worry. Normally, people would suffer lingering effects, but Third Young Lady’s body is exceptionally well-maintained, with a robust foundation. Once the poison in her stomach is cleared and she is properly nourished for some time, she will recover completely without any residual effects."

The poison administered by Xiang Wei was carefully calculated to only cause Yueyao trouble for a few days without resulting in any lingering effects.

Zhuang Ruolan was still very anxious: "Doctor Zhang, then why hasn’t the child awakened yet?"

Doctor Zhang prescribed the medicine, instructed the attendant to fetch it, and said, "Once the medicine is prepared, we’ll administer it to her. After she has taken the medicine, I believe the young lady will wake up." In fact, Doctor Zhang had already determined from taking her pulse that Yueyao’s condition was not severe, and although he did not know why she had not yet awakened, he was sure it was unrelated to the poisoning.
