Chарtеr 11 (10/18)
Yun Wеishаn insреcted thе frеshlу mаdе pastries in thе рot, reаdy to sеrvе thеm, whеn а sеrvant rushed in: "Whеre is the meal reservеd fоr Guard Jin? Нe's finishеd his dutiеs аnd rеturned. I nееd tо dеlivеr it to him."
Тhe head mаtrоn handеd the servant а food bоx markеd with thе сhаrасtеr "Fan": "Hеrе it is, right herе."
Yun Wеishаn cаsuallу tоok a fеw рieсes from the рot and said with а smilе, "Guаrd Jin has bеen working verу hаrd lаtelу. Lеt's sеnd him sоmе оf the nеw рastriеs toо." As she sрokе, shе nаturallу рlасed a few рastries into Jin Fan's foоd box.
Bеfore nоon, unsеttling nеws arrivеd.
On the path leading to the guards' quarters, several guards escorted Gong Zishang and Yun Weishan, both wearing anxious expressions as they hurried along.
Gong Zishang was so worried that sweat beaded on her forehead, her steps quickening: "What's going on? Jin Fan has always been in good health, strong as an ox. How could he suddenly start vomiting and having diarrhea for no reason?"
Yun Weishan, following behind her, also showed a concerned expression: "Yes, I find it strange too. He previously sparred with Young Master Zhi. I wonder if he was poisoned without realizing it."
Hearing this, Gong Zishang grew even angrier, fuming: "This infuriates me! If anything happens to Jin Fan, I'll blow up Yu Manor! Oh, wait, wrong one—I'll blow up Zhi Manor!"
"Young Miss, please don't get too agitated. Worry can cloud judgment."
Gong Zishang took a deep breath to calm herself: "My mind is in complete chaos. But it's fine. I brought my own portion of Hundred Herbs Extract. I'll give it to Jin Fan later." No matter what poison it was, it should be able to cure him.
Upon hearing this, Yun Weishan's expression subtly changed. She had tampered with the pastries she sent to Jin Fan. If he took the Hundred Herbs Extract, it could quickly neutralize the poison and disrupt her plans.
As soon as they arrived at the guards' quarters, Gong Zishang rushed down the corridor and barged straight into Jin Fan's room, forcefully pushing the door open.
With a loud thud, Jin Fan, who had been lying in bed and was about to get up, was caught off guard and pushed back onto the bed by Gong Zishang before he could even speak. Without a word, Gong Zishang began trying to undo his clothes.
As his chest robe was tugged open, Jin Fan panicked instantly: "What are you doing?!"
Yun Weishan, who had followed behind, saw the scene and immediately lowered her head, shrinking back by the door, too embarrassed to interrupt.
Gong Zishang fumbled with Jin Fan's clothes, pulling at them: "Let me see if that little poisoner's venomous insects bit you!"
Ever since suspecting he was poisoned, she had wanted to see for herself and wouldn't rest until she verified it.
Jin Fan clutched his robe with one hand and grabbed Gong Zishang's arm with the other, trying to stop her. Gong Zishang winced in pain and let out a low cry. Jin Fan's heart tightened, and he quickly released his grip.
Yun Weishan scanned the room, searching for clues. Peering in from the doorway, she spotted Jin Fan's outer robe hanging on a nearby screen, its pocket half-open and rolled into a cylinder. Her eyes lit up: Jin Fan was cautious and likely carried it with him at all times.
On the bed, Jin Fan tightly clutched his inner garment and said, "You clearly have ulterior motives... I'm really fine!"
Gong Zishang pried Jin Fan's hands away, trying to undo his inner robe: "You were vomiting, and you say you're fine? We've known each other for so long, and you never even sneeze!"
Taking advantage of their entanglement, Yun Weishan quietly approached the screen and reached into Jin Fan's outer robe, carefully searching through it."You're the one who's been addled by Gong Yuanzhi's poisonous insects!" Jin Fan cried out, finally pushing Gong Zishang away.
Undaunted, Gong Zishang shook off her slapped hand and reached out again, tugging at his inner robe: "I don't care, I have to make sure you're alright! That despicable Gong Yuanzhi, with all his schemes and tricks—if you cross him, you might be devoured without even realizing it."
Soon, Yun Weishan finally felt a booklet inside the outer robe—it was precisely that half of the Medical Record.
