I made the villain right.

Shi Jin tried hard to recall the plot about Shi Sheng being poisoned. She found that although she had read the script, her memory was a little fuzzy now. Because the actor who played Shi Sheng at that time was replaced, her scenes with him were postponed. Before the filming of this scene, she had already entered the script.

She suddenly regretted that she had not made special efforts to strengthen this memory. Now that it needed to be used, she was powerless to do anything.

Was she going to have to watch Shi Sheng meet his tragic fate?

No, she doesn't believe in fate, she only believes in herself. Damn fate.

Whether it is Shi Sheng or her, they do not belong to any mysterious force, and their fate should not be controlled by others. Only they themselves can control their own lives and do what they want.

I must save my brother!

Shi Jin's strong sense of belief prompted her to gradually calm down and think about how to save her elder brother. Since she didn't know what poison her elder brother had been poisoned with, she had no way to treat him, let alone prepare an antidote. What she had to do now was to find out the source of her elder brother's poisoning.

She calmly said to Zhilu: "Go find Lin Yang and ask him to come to my study."

After that, he told Xiaofu, "Go find the people who went out with my brother to investigate the case and ask them to come to the General's Mansion. I need to find out more about the situation from them."

"Yes." After hearing her arrangements, Xiaofu and Zhilu immediately went down to take action.

Then she instructed a servant beside her, "When the imperial physician arrives, please report to me at any time about my brother's condition."

"Okay lady"

After giving the instructions, she went to her study. Just as she was passing through a corridor, she saw Xu Ruogu standing there, seemingly waiting for her.

When he saw her, his expression changed, and his eyes showed some kindness and gentleness. "Sister Jin, are you busy? I can actually help you."

Shi Jin knew that Xu Ruo wanted to help her out of kindness, but Shi Sheng was poisoned and he didn't have any medical skills so he couldn't help.

So she refused: "Thank you, no, you may not be able to help me, I have something else to deal with now, so I won't talk to you for now."

After she finished speaking, she left in a hurry, leaving Xu Ruogu standing there alone, wanting to say something but stopping himself, with a little sadness in his eyes. He murmured softly, "Sister Jin can actually help your brother detoxify." He actually knows medical skills.

Not long after Shi Jin arrived at the study, Lin Yang and Shi Sheng's subordinates arrived one after another.

Shi Jin looked calm and composed. She walked to a table for four and sat down. Then she motioned for the two of them to sit down as well. "Please take a seat, both of you."

The two looked at each other, were stunned for a moment, and immediately sat down.

"My brother has been poisoned and is in critical condition. I need your help." He changed the subject and went straight to the point.

The two of them looked solemn when they saw this. Suddenly, Lin Yang said expressionlessly, "I am originally from the mansion. These are my duties. Miss, there is no need to be polite to me."

Shi Sheng's subordinates heaved a sigh of relief, and then said solemnly: "It is my duty."

Shi Jin turned his eyes to Shi Sheng's subordinates and asked, "What's your name, brother?"

"Miss, you can just call me Zhang Cheng," Zhang Cheng said boldly.

"Brother Zhang Cheng, my elder brother and you investigated the case together. What happened during that time? The more details the better."

"I see. There were five dead children in the suburbs. The adults and I went to check. We followed the carriage tracks all the way to Beiming Village and found that there were people lying in ambush there. They were a group of masked men in black, so we started a fight with them."

When Shi Jin heard him mention the masked man in black, she pondered over this sentence quickly. She had also encountered the man in black last time. Could they be the same group of people, from Fengyun Pavilion!

So she quickly stood up, took out a box, opened it, took out an iron ball from it, then sat back in her seat, pointed at the pattern on the iron ball, and asked Zhang Chengdao: "Have you seen this pattern on the hidden weapon or clothes of the man in black?"

Zhang Cheng thought about it and shook his head, "No."

Seeing a bit of disappointment on Jin's face at this time, she blinked and looked at Zhang Cheng, motioning him to continue.

Seeing that Jin was eager to continue, Zhang Cheng continued, "Those black-clothed men were vicious and had their own set of formations. Fortunately, you were smart and saw through some of them, so we were able to deal with them. You protected us everywhere, but we were defeated in the end. During the fight with the enemy, you were scratched on the neck by the enemy's hidden needle. Not long after, the group of people suddenly withdrew. On our way back to the city, you suddenly felt dizzy and then fell into a coma. I didn't expect that you were poisoned."

Zhang Cheng rolled his eyes, thought about it, and guessed: "I guess the silver needle must be poisonous, because I found that the man secretly quenched black liquid on the needle. I originally wanted to stop him, but the speed of the silver needle was too fast, and it was too late."

Shi Jin thought for a moment, looked at Lin Yang and said carefully: "Guard Lin, you are good at tracking. Follow what Brother Zhang Cheng said to find clues. The sooner the better. I need to find the person who poisoned me."

"Yes"

"Brother Zhang Cheng, when we catch the person who poisoned you, we'll need your help to confirm it."

"clear"

Suddenly Zhilu hurried in and interrupted the conversation. She said with a bad face, "Miss, a servant just came to tell you that the young master is in a very bad condition and even the imperial physician Li from the palace is helpless."

Shi Jin frowned. She probably guessed that the poison would not be so easy to remove. After a while, she said, "I'll leave my elder brother's matter to you two."

After saying that, he left the study. When he moved to Shi Sheng's yard, he happened to see Xu Ruogu quarreling with a housekeeper outside the house.

Butler Zhou grabbed his shoulders tightly and stopped him from moving, so he said fiercely: "Let me in, I can help Sister Jin"

Shi Jin frowned and asked in confusion: "What happened?"

When Butler Zhou saw Shi Jin, he immediately let go of Xu Ruogu.

Xu Ruogu's face lit up with joy. Taking advantage of the moment when Butler Zhou let go, Xu Ruogu ran behind Shi Jin, his face showing four parts of anger and six parts of grievance, and shouted, "Sister Jin, he won't let me in!"

Seeing that he was the first to complain, Butler Zhou glanced at him with a bit of resentment in his eyes, and then he said to her respectfully: "Miss, your new servant has been making a fuss outside the courtyard and wants to go in, and insisted that he can help, but the young master is being treated inside and is very busy. He is just making trouble and has bad intentions, so I will never let him in."

The script said that Shi Sheng was rescued in the end, but it was too late for treatment. Although he saved his life, he became a vegetable. Thinking of Xu Ruogu telling her before that he could help, she didn't care. Now he came here again and asked for help. Is it possible that he knows how to detoxify?

Xu Ruogu's hidden talent made Shi Jin's eyes flash with hope. She suddenly squatted down, half-kneeling to look at Xu Ruogu, and asked very seriously: "Ruogu, tell me, do you know medical skills and can you cure the poison in my brother's body?"

She stared closely at the expression on Xu Ruogu's face, afraid of missing anything. Xu Ruogu nodded with a firm look in his eyes. "I know medical skills, I can try, but I can't go in now, so I don't know what his condition is."

Butler Zhou opened his mouth and said, "He knows medical skills at such a young age? Isn't this nonsense? Miss, don't believe him."

Shi Jin glanced at Butler Zhou with a somewhat cold look in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Brother is in danger, we can't miss any hope." Hearing this, Butler Zhou had no choice but to shut up.

Then Shi Jin showed Xu Ruogu a smile as bright as the sun, the light in her eyes brightened a little, and said softly: "Sister will take you in"

So he pulled him, passed the housekeeper, and went straight into Shi Sheng's room.

Shi Wei was sitting on a chair, with his eyes downcast and silent, looking somewhat lonely. Doctor Li packed up his things and prepared to leave, sighing and saying helplessly, "Master Shi is already beyond help. There are only a few hours left. General, please say goodbye to him."

“Xiaofu, send Doctor Li out,” Wei said suddenly with a gloomy expression.

"Doctor Li, please follow me." Xiaofu led Doctor Li out of the room. When Doctor Li passed by Shi Jin and Xu Ruogu, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he left without thinking much.

Then Shi Jin let go of Xu Ruogu's hand and said, "Ruogu, it's up to you."

"Yeah," he said, and then walked to Shi Sheng's bedside, took Shi Sheng's pulse, and then looked at his pupils and the abrasions on his neck.

When Shi Wei saw this, he raised his eyes and asked, "Is Jin'er a reliable kid?"

"Does Dad have a better idea?"

Shi Wei shook his head and sighed, "It can only be like this."

"Sister Jin, I need a set of silver needles to seal his acupuncture points and stop the venom from flowing quickly into his internal organs."

"Zhilu, go get it for her." Upon hearing that, Zhilu hurried out to get it. Soon she came back with a set of silver needles and handed them to Xu Ruogu breathlessly.

"Please help him up," Xu Ruogu said to the maid who was serving him. Before the maid could take any action, she heard Shi Jin say, "Let me do it," and immediately helped Shi Sheng up.

There were a few wisps of smoke floating from the incense burner in the room, bringing with it bursts of medicinal aroma. The atmosphere in the room was so quiet that it was a bit depressing. Xu Ruogu was concentrating and focusing his attention, groping for the acupuncture points on Shi Sheng's head. After finding the acupuncture points, he inserted silver needles into Shi Sheng's head. Every step was taken with extreme caution and his movements were very skillful. Although he was young, his face had a calmness and maturity that did not match his age.

There was a hint of meaning in Shi Jin's eyes as he looked at Xu Ruogu. This was not the temperament a slave should have.

Everyone in the room didn't dare to say a word, quietly watching Xu Ruogu's every move, their hearts becoming nervous. He was lying.

Time slipped quietly between fingers. An unknown amount of time passed before it got dark outside. Shi Jin only knew that his hand that was holding Shi Sheng had become numb, while Xu Ruogu's forehead was covered with beads of sweat. Shi Sheng's head, back, chest, feet and other parts of his body had been treated with silver needles to varying degrees.

After Xu Ruogu inserted the needle into the last acupuncture point, he immediately relaxed his tense body. Then he said to Shi Jin, "Sister Jin, I can only suppress the poison temporarily, but it can only last for four days at most. I must find the source of the poison within four days so that I can prepare an antidote based on it."

After hearing this, the tense and oppressive atmosphere in the room eased a little, and Shi Sheng's aching cross-nerves began to ease a little. He thought that as long as he bought time, everything would be possible.

Shi Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Xu Ruogu with gratitude, "Thank you for your hard work, Ruogu. I will find out the source of the poison as soon as possible."

"Sister Jin, you saved me from the slave market. I am very grateful to you. You don't have to be polite to me."

"Ruogu, you..." Shi Jin originally wanted to ask about his identity, but then she thought that he was hiding it and definitely didn't want others to know. Everyone has unknown secrets in their hearts, just like she was transported into a script and she was not from here, and this could not be told to others. So she stopped asking, unless he was willing to tell her.

Suddenly she continued what she had just said, "You haven't had dinner yet, let's have dinner together later."

"Okay." Xu Ruogu smiled happily, then sorted out the scattered silver needles and put them into the needle holder.

Shi Wei pulled Shi Jin aside and asked quietly, "Is this your new servant? He is a waste of talent. Let's make him the palace doctor. He helped our family a lot today. We must treat him well."

"Jin'er knows what's going on. Daddy has been working hard all day. Go back and rest for a while," Shi Jin hurriedly urged Shi Wei to go down and rest.

…………

At a table filled with delicious dishes, only Shi Jin and Xu Ruogu were sitting together to eat. Xu Ruogu was eating the fragrant rice in the bowl with a very happy expression, while Shi Jin kept picking dishes for him. She didn't eat much herself, but just watching him eat so happily, she had a faint smile on her face and seemed to be in a good mood.

Originally, Shi Wei wanted to entertain Xu Ruogu warmly, but Xu Ruogu was shy and didn't want to interact with anyone other than Shi Jin, so the current scene happened.

"Burp~" Xu Ruogu burped, touched his bulging, round belly, and said, "I'm so full, but Sister Jin ate very little."

"Sister is not very hungry. Although she ate little, she is full," she explained gently.

Xu Ruogu lowered his eyes, thought of something, and suddenly fell silent.

Shi Jin noticed his abnormality, so she asked with concern: "Ruogu, are you worried about something? Tell me and see if I can help you solve your worries."

He felt embarrassed for a moment, then raised his eyes and said softly, "Sister Jin, why don't you ask me why I know medical skills?"

Then he saw Shi Jin looking at him, her expression was particularly gentle, her eyes were smiling, and she whispered softly: "Ruogu is very good at medicine, I am very happy for you. As for how you learned medicine, this is a secret of yours. Everyone has secrets that they don't want others to know. If you don't want to tell me, I have no right to ask, unless you tell me yourself."

Xu Ruogu felt a warm feeling deep in her heart. She said firmly, "I am willing to tell Sister Jin that I grew up with my grandfather. My grandfather taught me medical skills. I started learning at the age of six. I learned from him every day and gradually learned it."

Shi Jin was deeply moved, what kind of full-level human being is this? He started studying medicine at the age of six, while she was still playing house with the neighbor's kids at the age of six. There is a huge difference between them.

"Suddenly one day my father took me home. No one in the mansion liked me, especially the woman next to my father. She was nice to me on the surface, but she treated me coldly when my father was not around. She often didn't give me good food, and my father was also very indifferent to me and didn't notice anything. Once I went back to my grandfather's house for less than two days, and my father took me back again. Later he even prevented me from going to my grandfather's house. One day I took advantage of her lunch break and sneaked out of the cave. Later I was caught. Then it was just like what Sister Jin saw when she first saw me."

Shi Jin felt very uncomfortable after listening to this, with a hint of bitterness and pity in his heart. After all, it is the children who suffer when they meet an unreliable family.

"Ruogu, don't you want to go back to your grandfather?"

He shook his head, his eyes full of fear, and said with some resistance, "If I go back to grandpa, my father will still take me back. I don't want to. Sister Jin, please don't send me away, okay? I will be very good and I can still get treatment." He begged bitterly, tears flashing in his eyes.

Seeing this, Shi Jin felt very sorry and immediately said, "Sister won't chase you away. You can stay as long as you want."

Xu Ruogu's sensible appearance is heartbreaking. It must be the psychological trauma left by the bad treatment she suffered in her father's home. These words were said subconsciously.

Shi Jin suddenly felt a resentment towards Xu Ruogu's father and the woman he mentioned. She would definitely get revenge for Xu Ruogu if she had the chance.

After getting Shi Jin's promise, Xu Ruogu's emotions gradually calmed down. After dinner, Shi Jin personally sent him back to his room to rest. After seeing him lie down peacefully, she went to Shi Sheng's room to see him again. After confirming that he was fine, she went back to her room to rest.

But she couldn't fall asleep as she lay in bed, tossing and turning, thinking about Shi Sheng's poisoning. If Shi Sheng's fate of becoming a vegetable could not be changed, did it mean that she could not change her fate of being poisoned to death?

She gradually fell into a dream with this question in mind.
