Throughout the entire process, Nangong Shuang's movements were swift and precise, her expression focused, showing no signs of panic. She displayed medical skills and composure far beyond the ordinary. The guests watched in astonishment, marveling at her abilities.
Gradually, Lu Shilang's complexion changed from purple to red, then from red to pale, and his breathing began to stabilize. Nangong Shuang continued to administer acupuncture while observing the reaction of his pupils.
"Lord Lu is out of danger, but he will need to rest," Nangong Shuang finally sighed in relief and said to Xiao Xiang, "It would be best to move him to a quiet room for further treatment."
Xiao Xiang immediately instructed the servants to prepare a guest room and carefully lifted Lu Shilang away. Nangong Shuang followed closely behind, continuing her efforts to save him.
In the guest room, Nangong Shuang meticulously examined Lu Shilang, confirming that the poison had been contained. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly noticed a small amount of brownish powder under his pillow. Frowning slightly, she carefully took some out and sniffed it at her nose.
"This is..." Nangong Shuang's heart raced as disbelief flickered in her eyes.
The smell and color of this powder were identical to the herbal remnants found at the scene of the Nangong Family Massacre ten years ago! The murderer had used a special incense to incapacitate everyone in the house before committing the crime, and this incense was made from various herbs. Nangong Shuang would never forget that unique scent, for it had rendered the Nangong Family powerless that night.
"Could it be..." A storm of thoughts surged within Nangong Shuang. "Is Lu Shilang connected to the Nangong Family Massacre? Is someone trying to silence him?"
As she pondered this, footsteps approached from outside. Nangong Shuang quickly hid the powder in her sleeve and regained her composure.
The door opened, revealing Xiao Xiang and Xiao Zhongyan entering together.
"How is Lord Lu?" Xiao Xiang asked with concern.
Nangong Shuang replied, "The poison has been controlled, but he needs several days of rest for his body to gradually expel the toxins."
Xiao Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. "Thanks to Nangong Shuang's miraculous skills, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable! I wonder where this 'Purple Butterfly Poison' came from? Who dares to poison in my Xiao Mansion!"
Nangong Shuang cautiously responded, "This type of poison usually attaches itself to food; it is colorless and tasteless, making it difficult to detect. Based on Lord Lu's symptoms, it seems he was poisoned about half an hour ago, shortly after the banquet began."
"Half an hour ago..." Xiao Zhongyan pondered thoughtfully. "That was when Lord Lu was tasting the Abalone Soup."
Xiao Xiang's expression darkened. "Immediately summon the head of the kitchen to see me; we must investigate this matter thoroughly!"
Xiao Zhongyan nodded in agreement and turned to leave. Xiao Xiang expressed his gratitude once more to Nangong Shuang before hastily departing to reassure the other guests.
After confirming that Lu Shilang was no longer in danger, Nangong Shuang prepared to return to the banquet hall. Just as she reached the door, she suddenly stopped and turned back toward the bed, carefully inspecting Lu Shilang's belongings. Inside his outer robe, she discovered an exquisite hidden pouch containing a letter.
Nangong Shuang hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided not to open the letter; instead, she placed it back exactly where she found it. Regardless of any connection between Lu Shilang and the Nangong Family Case, now was not the time for rash actions.
Returning to the banquet hall, everyone surrounded Nangong Shuang with expressions of gratitude and admiration. Guan Chunyi excitedly grabbed her hand and exclaimed repeatedly, "I told you my sister is exceptionally skilled! She can even counteract such deadly poison!"
Nangong Shuang smiled lightly but inadvertently glanced at the servants of Xiao Mansion. She noticed a young servant exchanging furtive glances with another maid; their behavior hinted at something suspicious.
"Interesting..." Nangong Shuang thought to herself. "These people are acting suspiciously; could they be spies from Shadow Pavilion?"
