Cold King's Dominating Love, Genius Medical Consort Chapter 51 part 2

Chapter 51 Why didn’t you say so earlier part 2
   
Right, it was the ancient poison worm. Back when he had been traveling with his master, he had seen this type of worm. There were many species of ancient poison worms and they each had their own unique specialty.
   
Their poison would only spread once they were in a human body. No wonder he felt like there was something wrong with the bowl of soup. So it turned out, that the ancient poison worms were the root of the problem.

However, what type of ancient poison worm would make a person to fall into a sleep so deep it was as if they were dead?
   
When Long Xiao Yu heard Le Tian, he was also rattled. He had heard about the ancient poison worms. Those things were a taboo in the Imperial City.
   
“What type of ancient poison worm?” Long Xiao Yu’s clear and stable voice allowed no one to guess his emotions.
   
He didn’t even realise that his ice cold heart houses a smidge of worry. Did Mu Zi Ling really drink the bowl of soup?
   
This time Le Tian was stumped over another question. He had never studied these creatures before, so he didn’t know which species of ancient poison worm would be able to resist high heat as well as be undetectable.
   
Did the princess fall asleep because she drunk the whole jar of soup? If that was the case, then the Empress was too terrifying.
   
Even if someone did know that something happened to the Princess because she drank the Empress’s soup, and they wouldn't be able to find any clues no matter how they searched.
   
“It’s not only the ancient poison worm,” answered Le Tian truthfully.
   
He was too worried to care as to whether Long Xiao Yu was concerned or not about Mu Zi Ling.
   
If the Qi Princess really had fallen into a deep sleep after drinking the bowl of soup, then he really regretted meeting her only thrice. To think the Qi Princess, full of mysteries would just disappear like this.
   
Reading the situation, Long Xiao Yu stopped asking questions. He already knew that Le Tian would not know anything. It would be strange if he did.
   
Xie had also heard Le Tian’s words. She was shocked that the bowl of soup could contain such a terrifying creature. Although she didn’t know what an ancient poison worm was, with the way Le Tian talked about them, it was obvious they were a really terrifying creature.
   
Then.. the Empress really had wanted to harm the Young Miss. What was she supposed to do now? Would Young Miss be awake already if it was not for the bowl of soup?
   
This time Xie was really worried. It didn't matter whether Long Xiao Yu was here or not, her Young Miss was about to leave her. She quickly rushed in front of Le Tian and got on her knees. She kowtowed, and tears started to streak down her cheeks, “Doctor Le Tian, please save my Young Miss! I'm begging you to save her! Please!”
   
Le Tian was startled by Xie sudden movements. Did this little girl mistake him for another?
   
The Qi King was right there, yet this little girl was kneeling and begging him. Even if she was begging him, what could he do? He also wanted to save Mu Zi Ling, but he didn’t have the abilities to.
   
“First, you can stand up,” said Le Tian helplessly as he tried to pull Xie off the ground.
   
“No! Doctor Le Tian, you can definitely save my young miss! Originally, she would wake up after sleeping for a whole day and night! It must the that jar of soup from..” said Xie hurriedly, tugging Le Tian’s hand.
   
However, her words were cut off by Long Xiao Yu.
   
“Shut up,” said Long Xiao Yu in irritation.
   
Long Xiao Yu knew what Xie would say next, so he cut her off. He never would've imagined that Mu Zi Ling’s maid had the guts to say whatever she wanted just like Mu Zi Ling.
   
He was also really annoyed by the noise the girl made while crying. However, she did say something important. Mu Zi Ling has slept for a whole day and night without waking up? What happened then? Did this little girl know  something?
   
Le Tian also naturally heard the important part in Xie’s outburst. Maybe this maid could help him solve the problem.
   
“You said that the Princess has slept for a whole day and night before? When did this happen?” said Le Tian calmly to Xie as he crouched down.
   
Xie had already been scared by Long Xiao Yu’s command, so she shut her mouth and didn’t dare speak anymore. She even controlled her sobbing sounds.
   
Since something had happened to Young Miss, then she could not sit there and do nothing. There was also nothing to be scared of, and she didn't want to be scared of him, but the Qi King was terrifying.
   
‘Speak,” ordered Long Xiao Yu.
   
Only when Xie hear Long Xiao Yu’s order, did she start to talk again.
   
She timidly stuttered, “Be.. Before, the Young Miss has… has also slept like this. At.. at the most though, she has only slept for a day and night. No matter how you tried, she would also not wake up. However, after she woke up, she would be very tired, as if she had not slept at all. Young Miss had also said that she was fine, and this situation hasn’t happen again until three days ago.
   
After this, Xie didn’t continue to speak, because three days ago, the Qi King was here and knew what had happened.
   
Only the gods knew how hard it was for her to say so much in front of the Qi King. Other than to talk, she didn’t dare let out any other sounds.
   
Not only did Xie take such a long time to explain, Long Xiao Yu had also surprisingly listened to all of Xie’s words patiently.
   
After Xie finished speaking, Long Xiao Yu didn’t say anything for a long time.
   
“Why didn’t you say so earlier?” asked Le Tian resentfully to Xie, but he too, was glad in his inside.
   
If Xie had said this earlier, then he could be sure that the Qi Princess didn’t drink the soup. This was all because of her own personal conditions, she would wake up by herself. The thing was though, he had no idea how long she would be asleep for.
   
If she really did consume the ancient poison worm, then her condition wouldn’t be as simple as just falling into deep sleep. He knew for a fact that there were lots of terrifying things that ancient poison worms could do. He was relieved that the Princess hadn’t drunk the soup.
   
“It was all this servant’s fault. Doctor Le Tian, I beg you to please save the Young Miss!” When Xie heard his tone of hatred, she started to panic again.
   
Was Le Tian mad because she hadn’t said that earlier and wasted time that could be used to save the Young Miss? What was she supposed to do? She didn’t do it on purpose. She didn’t know that there was poison in the soup. She really didn’t do it on purpose!
   
All of a sudden, princess that had been silent for so long, suddenly showed signs of movement.
