Reincarnation: The Sweet Wife Is A Miracle Doctor-Chapter 261 - 262: Death from Poisoning

Sleeping at the bedside, Luo Lanzhen woke up and noticed her father staring blankly out the window. She hurriedly asked in a tense voice, "Dad, is your stomach starting to hurt?"

"Ah Zhen, do you think the day has broken?" Luo Song asked excitedly.

Luo Lanzhen then noticed that it was dawn, "It’s really daylight! I actually fell asleep. Dad, why didn’t you call me when your stomach hurt last night?"

"Silly girl, I fell asleep last night too, and when I woke up, it was already daylight. There was no stomach pain!"

Luo Song was both surprised and incredulous. Over the past three months of illness, he had stomach pain every night and could only barely endure it with painkillers, but last night there was none.

Why was this?

It was because he took the medicine prescribed by Nianyang!

Luo Lanzhen also realized that her father’s spirit had improved, and she cried tears of joy, "That’s great, Dad, Nianyang’s medicine worked, you’re saved."

Luo Song was so happy that his eyes were red. The torment from the illness was endured by him alone, and others’ worry and anxiety couldn’t compare to even a fraction of his.

He knew every time the illness flared up, he wished he could just die; if not for wanting to see his daughter a little longer, he couldn’t have lasted until today.

Thankfully, heaven showed mercy and brought Nianyang to them, and he finally saw hope for life.

"You can’t judge a person’s appearance. I never thought Gu girl, being so young, could be so good at traditional medicine!" In his excitement, Luo Song couldn’t stop praising Nianyang.

He initially thought Gu Nianyang, being a child learning traditional medicine, was merely a beginner, but who knew she’d be so miraculous; after taking a few doses of medicine, he experienced such a noticeable improvement!

Luo Lanzhen went to the guest room to call Nianyang upstairs, telling him that her father’s condition improved. Nianyang had already anticipated Luo Song’s relief, so when faced with Luo Song’s tearful gratitude, he calmly said,

"Uncle Luo, I mentioned your condition is quite complex, and taking the herbal medicine is just the first treatment. Later it needs to be complemented with acupuncture and cupping therapy."

Luo Song now trusted Nianyang’s medical skills wholeheartedly, wishing he could worship Nianyang like a deity, "No problem, I’ll listen to whatever you say, Gu girl!"

Astonishingly, Duan Tianhong and Bai Jing were greatly shocked upon hearing of Luo Song’s improvement, thinking they would see his condition worsen today, yet it unexpectedly turned better!

Gu Nianyang, being so young, possesses such great skill?

A few herbal medicines managed to dilute the toxins they painstakingly administered over three months?

If that’s the case, why didn’t she detect Luo Song’s symptoms? Was it cured by sheer luck?

Whichever it is, they absolutely mustn’t let her disrupt their plans!

Claiming the need to discuss Luo Song’s condition, Nianyang had Luo Lanzhen escort Bai Jing and Duan Tianhong out of the room. After they closed the door, Luo Song asked in good spirits, "Gu girl, is there anything else you need to instruct me on?"

Nianyang knew Luo Song already trusted his medical skills; it was time to remind him, "Uncle Luo, what I want to say is that the reason your condition can’t be detected in the hospital is not that you are ill."

"What do you mean?"

"You have a large amount of Chuanwu in your system, which is a poison from Aconitum-like medications. Generally, the toxic dose is 0.2 milligrams, while the lethal dose is 2-4 milligrams. When ingested in small, diluted amounts daily, it not only goes undetected but results in silent death within four to five months."

Admittedly, Duan Tianhong and Bai Jing were clever and cautious, knowing that poisoning through blood tests would be exposed, so they utilized the toxicity of herbal medicines to commit murder—a lethal weapon indeed.

Luo Song felt as if struck by a bolt from the blue, "What did you say? I’m poisoned..."

"Based on the pulse diagnosis, the Chuanwu in your system is ingested daily through your food..."

And who is responsible for Luo Song’s food and clothing, is now clear.
