The trio directly went towards the courtyard where the Princess was currently resting in the Lotus Pavillion, the place was good for resting, it was quite and beautiful lotus bloomed in the pond while the place was full of pink and white Osmathus trees giving the place a quote and serene look.
Tel nanny's were appointed by Luo Beichen to take care of his mother while she also had two separate servants girls to clean and wash her daily.
It was difficult to feed her as she was in Comatose state hence the maids usually made light porridges as it was liquid it was forced down her throat barely keeping her alive.
Qin Xu looked at the emaciated body of the once beautiful Princess of Dong Nation.she was the only daughter the previous emperor had and he cherished her as the pearl of her hand but looking at her now, Qin Xu really felt sad and an unknown feeling welled up in her heart.
'Life of Princess was also not as easy as people thought' and she felt a genuine form of understanding with Princess Cai right now.
'Look at her even with such a mighty general loving and protecting her she was still rendered in such a state. '
'It proves that one should not rely on others even if that person is your lover being a women one should know how to protect onseself. '
She stood and bowed down towards the Princess this was her first time meeting her and as she was also Dong Shen's aunt she has to also pay respect to her as an elder hence Qin Xu did not act perfunctory but genuinely paid proper respect even if the person can't see her do it.
Luo Beichen felt a deep level of respect rising for this new sister in law and he could help but say in his heart that Dong Shen was one lucky bastard he truly found a GEM! '
Even Dong Shen who always thought of Qin Xu as a crafty fox felt that right now she really appeared good to look at.
Princess Cai was not just Luo Beichen's mother but she has also raised him since childhood after his mother died.
She was his mother at heart and treated him just like Luo Beichen.
Both he and Luo Beichen grew together, this was also the reason they were so close to each other and were like real brothers, can trust each other through thick and thin and ot like those idiots of the palace after all upbringing can make and break characters and they firmly believed that it was Princess Cai's upbringing that made them what they are today.
"Ahem ahem. " Qin Xu gave Luo Beichen a sign and pointed towards the two maids which were attending Princess Cai.
Understanding what Qin Xu wanted Luo Beichen ordered the two maids to get refreshment for them.
When only three of them were left in the room, Qin Xu quickly took Princess Cai's pulse and the more she read the darker her face become' My goodness who can be this cruel. '
She also rolled back her slleves to check her hands, Princess Cai's hands at this point were just bones, her face also looked hollowed out with bone structure visible as if she was a walking skeleton.
Qin Xu found some bluish mark on her hands as well under her eyes the top of her nails were already getting greshish blue, it seemed like she wouldn't survive long.
And if her diagnosis was correct she was being administered this poison regularly.
Dong Shen saw that Qin Xu's face didn't look right hence he said, "let's talk somewhere else. ' He was aware that if someone from the inside poisoned Aunt Cai that means it wasn't ideal to discuss her case here lest they startle the snake by striking the grass.
" Yes yes lets go to my study. " The trio then walked out of Lotus Pavillion and headed straight towards Luo Beichen's Pavillion.
This place was not much frequented by other servants and as Luo Beichen was also in the military he was surrounded by his capable and trusted aides and hence was safe.
They sat around a round table inside Luo Beichen's study which was used by him when he entertained his friends to have wine with him.
"Luo Beichen i am afraid this posion is not easy to solve. " Qin Xu thought to come out as direct as possible.
Luo Beichen's hope quashed even Dong Shen's fir ger which was reaching out for the tea cup paused, "you mean you don't have a solution for Aunt Cai's poisoning?"
He came along because firstly he really hoped that they can solve his aunt's poison as soon as possible and he also wanted to see how skilled Qin Xu was in solving poison.
"It's not like it can't be solved but it's more like someone in the Luo manor doesn't want Princess Cai to wake up." Said Qin Xu with a frown.
Luo Beichen's face looked shock and soon anger started to form on his handsome visage
"Who can be daring enough to do that under my nose. " He spoke while banging his hand on table.
"In my opinion Aunt Cai is poisoned with Dreamless Night although dreamless night is also used to treat insomnia and can help them have a dreamless fulfilling sleep, but the dosage is regulated and one must not use it frequently otherwise it will make the person fall into dreamless sleep for the rest of their llives. "
"You mean my mother has taken this dreamless sleep, since a long time and maybe in a higher dosage that's why she is in comatose? " Asked Luo Beichen.
"Indeed however it's not Aunt Cai who could have taken it, that's why I wanted to ask you Do Aunt Cai have Insomnia, where she could not sleep for nights? " She asked.
"No my mother was a very regular and deep sleeper always, there was no problem with sleeping at all. " Said Luo Beichen with confirmation.
Qin Xu nodded, "That eliminates the possibility that she was taking it herself, but when I checked her today the spots on her body and her under eye area were turning greish blue do you know what that means? "
