Doctor Fu wiped his tears, pulled himself together, and asked, “Is there anything I can do?” 

Su Xiaoxiao instructed, “Continue monitoring his blood pressure, two to three times every fifteen minutes.” 

“Okay.” Doctor Fu moved to the bedside and took over the sphygmomanometer.  

Su Xiaoxiao stepped out of the room. 

Seeing her emerge, Su Mo immediately asked, “How is my grandfather?” 

Su Xiaoxiao replied, “Before I answer, I need to understand his dietary and daily habits.” 

Su Mo took a deep breath, forcing himself to stay patient, then turned to the servant and asked, “Who has been taking care of my grandfather?” 

“It’s this servant.” The young servant said. 

Su Xiaoxiao inquired about the patient’s eating habits, and the young servant answered truthfully.

The Old Marquis loved drinking alcohol. As a warrior who lived on the edge of life and death, he found joy in eating meat in big bites and drinking alcohol in large bowls. 

The imperial doctors had warned him that alcohol could seriously harm his health. 

But the Old Marquis had never heeded their advice, and was still drinking the alcohol. 

It wasn’t until six months ago, when his body could no longer endure it, that Old Marquis finally stopped drinking.

However, he still continued eating meat. 

Su Xiaoxiao nodded and asked, “When was the last time the patient ate?” 

The young servant said, “Yesterday afternoon, he had two sips of porridge, and since then, he hadn’t eaten a single grain of rice. 

“How long has he been unconscious? Be more specific.” Su Xiaoxiao said.

“This……” The young servant scratched his head. 

Su Mo said, “I came to visit grandfather last night, wanting him to eat something. Grandfather said he couldn’t eat and then went to sleep. He didn’t wake up this morning.” 

Su Xiaoxiao then said, “So, you’re not sure exactly when he fell unconscious?” 

The young servant lowered his head, “This servant is useless.” 

It was easy to overlook this symptom at night, so it wasn’t entirely the young servant’s fault. 

“Has he had any symptoms like nausea, vomiting, or coughing recently?”  

“Yes, yes!” The young servant replied. 

“How long has this been going on?” Su Xiaoxiao asked. 

The young servant answered, “It started last winter.” 

Su Mo frowned, “Why haven’t I heard of this?” 

The young servant lowered his head, “Old Marquis kept it secret and didn’t allow anyone to say anything. It was only because he couldn’t endure it anymore last month that he called the doctor. The doctor gave him some medicine, and he felt better. But who would have thought that the illness suddenly worsened again half a month ago.” 

Su Xiaoxiao continued asking, “Did he have chest pain?” 

“This…… I’m not sure, Old Marquis is a very tough guy……” 

What he meant was clear to Su Xiaoxiao. Old Marquis was someone who wouldn’t cry out even if he was in pain. 

Su Xiaoxiao already had some preliminary suspicions in her mind, but further diagnosis was still needed. 

She said to Su Mo, “Your grandfather’s condition still needs further diagnosis. But you said his condition suddenly worsened half a month ago, and I have found out the reason.” 

 “What is it?” Su Mo asked. 

 “Poisoned.” Su Xiaoxiao said seriously. 

Su Mo’s expression suddenly changed.  

Su Xiaoxiao continued, “I’m not sure about the specific, but your grandfather does have the symptoms of poisoning.” 

Su Mo’s breath paused and he asked, “Can… Can it be cured?” 

 “I will give it a try.” 

After saying that, Su Xiaoxiao entered the room and closed the door again. 

Su Mo clenched his fists. 

Grandfather was actually poisoned…… 

“Is the Old Marquis really poisoned? What kind of poison is it?”  

Inside the room, Doctor Fu asked. 

 “I don’t know.” Su Xiaoxiao said honestly. 

She wasn’t very familiar with ancient poisons, so she really couldn’t identify what kind of poison the Old Marquis had been poisoned with.   

Doctor Fu was stunned, “You don’t know what kind of poison it is…… then how can it be cured ah?” 

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at a bottle of ‘Niuhuang Jiedu Wan’ in her small medicine box. 

-Niuhuang Jiedu Wan, clears toxic heat and purges fire in liver. It is indicated for fever, inflamed throat or gums, red irritated eyes, earache, toxic swellings, toothache, headache, dizziness, and oral ulcers.
