While all this went on, the physician tried to fade into the distance but was caught out by Shaojie. The lieutenant dry coughed, pulling everyone back to the main focus, which was the poisoning.
"General, I suggest we interrogate this man quickly, if we continue to prolong this, the madam might suffer more effects from the poison." Said the lieutenant, holding onto the physician's collar.
Mei Deng seconded the idea, "I agree, for now you should take over the interrogation, and in the meantime can I examine the poison?"
"No." Wang Tengfei replied, causing Mei Deng to curl his lips into a frown.
"Why not?"
"It's dangerous, you might get hurt." Wang Tengfei softly told him, completely forgetting about Tingting who looked beyond miserable.
The servants exchanged bewildered glances with each other, especially the handmaids from the kingdom who witnessed the general's wedding to Tingting.
They knew firsthand how unconcerned the general could be towards others.
