Chapter 1428: Chapter 1428: They Didn’t Have Time to Poison

"What? Stroke!" Old Lady Fan’s face went pale after hearing this, and she directly fell onto the bed, nearly fainting.

"Old Lady!" Dongzhi hurriedly rushed over to support Old Lady Fan, took out some foul medicine for her to smell, and massaged her head, allowing Old Lady Fan to come back to herself.

Still in a daze, Old Lady Fan asked Dongzhi, "Did I just hear some malicious thing say that Brother Tian is in trouble? Is it true?"

The two malicious things outside replied, "Old Lady, please hurry and take a look at the General. He has a stroke and can’t hold on much longer!"

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Fan’s mind spun again; she thoroughly believed Fang Tian was in trouble and cried out, "Brother Tian, my child, what evil spirit has harmed you? Don’t be afraid, mother is coming to save you and slay the evil spirit!"

Dongzhi hurriedly helped Old Lady Fan up and followed the soldiers to the tent nearby.

Upon seeing Chunzhi, Old Lady Fan’s eyes filled with rage, and after remembering the soldiers’ claims that Brother Tian had a stroke, she instantly understood Chunzhi was the one who harmed Brother Tian. She immediately rushed over and slapped Chunzhi’s beautiful face with the cane in her hand, causing it to bleed as she hit her.

"Bitch, scum, I’ll beat you to death, you pest!" Old Lady Fan’s face was ferocious, with a stance as if she would beat Chunzhi to death right there.

Chunzhi realized what was happening and was terrified, hurriedly begging for mercy, "Old Lady, spare me, please spare me... It wasn’t the slave who harmed the General; it’s, it’s, someone poisoned the General, he got poisoned, and that’s why he had a stroke!"

Regardless, to save herself, Chunzhi blamed Brother Tian’s stroke on being poisoned.

Old Lady Fan was taken aback, remembering Gu Jinli: "Gu, it must be Gu who resents me for giving her man a concubine, and she’s unhappy, that’s why she poisoned Brother Tian... Poisonous woman, I always knew she was a poisonous woman!"

Some military doctors couldn’t take it anymore and said, "Old Lady, I’ve been practicing medicine for years, and I’ve never heard of any poison that leads to a stroke. Besides, Gu is a woman; how could she evade so many soldiers guarding and sneak over to poison General Fan in the middle of the night?"

Accusing someone requires some evidence.

The soldiers in the tent also said, "Old Lady, a stroke is a condition that occurs from sleeping with a woman. Our military doctors aren’t very skilled at treating this, and now Vice General Fang is borrowing people from the Gu Family."

We are begging people to save lives, please speak more cautiously.

But Old Lady Fan wouldn’t; she shouted, "It must be Gu who poisoned Brother Tian. Even if it wasn’t her, then it must have been Qin San Lang... Qin San Lang, that freeloader, afraid to offend Gu, poisoned Brother Tian to please Gu!"

A Company Commander poisoning a Fourth-rank General to please his wife?

Even such crazy talk came out from Old Lady Fan’s mouth, leaving the soldiers speechless.

Vice General Fang had already invited Doctor Dai, and Qin San Lang accompanied him.

Upon hearing this, Qin San Lang said, "Vice General Fang, please take Doctor Dai to save General Fan first; I won’t go inside."

Vice General Fang nodded, "Okay, you wait outside first."

With that said, he hurriedly took Doctor Dai, San Qi, Mai Dong, and Ye Dakou into the tent.

"A doctor who can treat a stroke is here; make way quickly." Vice General Fang shouted loudly.

"The doctor is here, quickly go save my son!" Old Lady Fan saw Doctor Dai as if seeing an immortal, hurriedly grabbing Doctor Dai to save Fang Tian.

Doctor Dai said with a headache, "Old Lady, let go quickly, General Fan’s condition is urgent, delay is not tolerable, let go of me so I can save him."

Old Lady Fan was startled upon hearing this, and hurriedly let go of Doctor Dai.

Ye Dakou had already dashed to Fang Tian’s side and said to the soldiers pressing on Fang Tian, "Get up quickly, don’t press any longer, this will only make General Fan’s body stiffen."

Speaking, her hands quickly started moving, rolling Fang General’s limbs, pinching his continuously twitching, contracting body.

She then said to the soldiers, "You also come and help, do as I do, give him some body movement, otherwise, if his body contracts more, there will be no saving."

"Oh, oh, oh." The soldiers hurriedly followed suit upon hearing this.

Doctor Dai had already opened the medicine box, took out the silver needle, and began to administer it to Fan Tian.

San Qi and Mai Dong were helping on the side.

After a whole two hours of busy work, Fan General was finally brought back from the Ghost Gate.

Old Lady Fan kept crying, and upon seeing Doctor Dai finished administering the needle, she hurriedly asked, "Doctor, how is my Brother Tian? Is he alright?"

He must be alright, otherwise, the Fan Family’s status would plunge, and her dream of being a First-rank Imperial Decree would shatter.

Doctor Dai wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and said, "The life is saved, but careful recuperation is needed; he should fully recover in a few years."

"What? A full recovery only in a few years!" Upon hearing this, Old Lady Fan nearly fainted, shedding old tears, "Doctor, no, you must cure my Brother Tian immediately, he has to go to the Northwest to fight and become the Great Marshal, he can’t be sick! And we can’t just go back like this!"

She left with great pomp, and at that time even paid the Magistrate of Yongtai Prefecture to send a memorial to the court, praising her nobility for accompanying the army at her old age, asking the Emperor to honor her as the First-rank Imperial Decree.

If Brother Tian doesn’t recover immediately and they have to return, they would become the laughingstock of the entire Yongtai Prefecture!

Doctor Dai said, "Old Lady, I’ve tried my best, it’s truly a stroke, such an acute and wicked condition, saving the life is already fortunate."

Doctor Dai hailed from Yuanzi Pharmacy and had worked at the Prince Mansion before; his medical skills were better than some Imperial Physicians. Because of this, he managed to save Fan Tian, saying that a few years of care could lead to full recovery.

If swapped for the doctor who treated Lu Laosan back in the day, forget a few years for recovery, Fan Tian would have to be bedridden for life.

"Ah, my child, why is your fate so bitter? You must be harmed by someone, definitely harmed by someone!" A stroke is too disgraceful, and Old Lady Fan couldn’t afford to lose face; she held onto Doctor Dai’s hand saying, "Doctor, my Brother Tian was poisoned, certainly by Gu and Qin San Lang; I demand their lives!"

Doctor Dai upon hearing this was angry, shook off Old Lady Fan’s hand, saying, "Old Lady Fan, General Fan wasn’t poisoned, there’s no poison that causes a stroke. Plus, I’m the Gu Family doctor, representing both Qin and Gu Families to save people. If you were to falsely accuse my Family Head this way, you shouldn’t have let me treat General Fan earlier!"

Old Lady Fan didn’t expect Doctor Dai’s reaction to be so strong and was somewhat frightened.

Vice General Fang also said, "Old Lady, you falsely accuse Qin Company Commander and his wife; their quarrel and fight tonight were well-known throughout the camp."

"After arguing, Gu didn’t leave the camp, while Qin Company Commander, after sending Company Commander Xie and his wife away, came alone to our camp to seek General Fan, wanting to apologize. But General Fan didn’t meet him, while Qin Company Commander waited outside our camp. Those guarding saw, Qin Company Commander didn’t go anywhere, neither did they have time to poison."

Old Lady Fan listened, but she was completely unwilling to accept this fact, crying, "What, just let them go?!"

As soon as she said this, all soldiers in the tent thought Old Lady Fan was a little excessive.
