Chapter 493: Dead or Not?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
At this moment, the Imperial Physician Dr. Liu arrived.
Because it involved a human life, he came here to confirm the death.
Li Xiaoran didn’t speak and kept observing. Then, she saw Meng Yan walking over from behind.
When Li Xiaoran saw Meng Yan, she walked over.
“Where were you just now? Did you see the situation here?” Li Xiaoran asked in a low voice.
“Like you, I only came over when I heard someone shouting that someone was dead. When I came, there were already many people around!” Meng Yan said in a low voice, “What do you think about this?”
‘Don’t touch anything in this farmstead today. We found an anesthetic in the tea just now. It’s a medicine that can numb your entire body!” Li Xiaoran lowered her voice and said.
When Meng Yan heard this, she was stunned.
“Have you drunk tea or eaten anything since you came in?”
Meng Yan shook her head and said, “I was in a hurry to find him, so how could I be in the mood to eat or drink tea?!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she was immediately relieved.
“It’s good that you didn’t touch anything. Don’t touch anything!”
On the other side, the Imperial Physician Dr. Liu had already finished the diagnosis and he said to the Eldest Princess, “Greetings, Eldest Princess. I’ve just checked. This woman is indeed dead!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she suddenly felt something and said, “Wait!” When the Eldest Princess heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she looked over.

“I think this woman is not completely dead. We can still save her!” Li Xiaoran walked forward and said.
“Why are you so sure? She has bled so much and her injuries are serious. She’s already dead. Why do you still think she can be saved?” The Eldest Princess asked in confusion.
“It’s my intuition! Eldest Princess, saving her life is more important at the moment. This girl can still be saved, so we can’t give up just like that!” Li Xiaoran said.
Li Xiaoran naturally couldn’t say the real reason.
She felt that the girl in front of her wasn’t dead because she still had emotions.
A person’s death was like a light going out. If they were already dead, there would be no emotions.
Since she had emotions, she wasn’t dead yet.
However, no one at the event location was willing to believe her, which made Li Xiaoran very dejected.
When Meng Yan heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she couldn’t believe it either.
After all, even the imperial doctor said that she was dead!
At this moment, Princess Ning Xin stood up and asked the question on everyone’s mind.
“Even the Imperial Physician Dr. Liu said that she’s dead. Are you more knowledgeable than the imperial doctor?”
Li Xiaoran glanced at Princess Ning Xin as she explained calmly, “Didn’t you hear the person in front of you say that her chest is still heaving? Concluding that a person is dead doesn’t just depend on confirming if there’s any breathing, but also on other things!”
This time, Princess Ning Xin didn’t dare to refute.
After all, Wei Li wasn’t an ordinary palace maid, but a palace maid that had been through life and death with the Eldest Princess.
When the eldest princess heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she looked at Wei Li.
“Ah Li, do you think this person can be saved?”
After Wei Li thought for a moment, she looked at Li Xiaoran.
“What do you think is the way to confirm that someone is really dead?”
Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, “Breathing and pulse can be faked, but there’s another key aspect called brain death.”
At this point, Li Xiaoran pointed at her head.
“I think she’s still alive. She’s definitely not dead! Please investigate if there’s any possibility of suspended animation! After all, it’s a little abnormal for such a small wound to bleed so much! Didn’t everyone notice? There’s too much blood on the ground! You can ask some experienced coroners how much blood can flow out after a person dies.”
As soon as she said this, the group of people who were in a panic just now looked at the woman’s body carefully.
They wouldn’t have known if they had not seen it, but upon looking, they were shocked.
As expected, there was too much blood. Some of the red blood was even absorbed by the soil in the ground.
Logically speaking, even if a normal person was injured and lost all their blood, there shouldn’t be so much blood!
When Wei Li heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she thought of what she had just said about suspended animation. She immediately thought of something, so she turned around and checked the woman’s eyes again. Then, she pulled open the woman’s bloody shirt.
Although there was a wound, it wasn’t big, so logically speaking, she should not have bled so much.
She retook this woman’s pulse. Her pulse and her breathing were both gone.
This situation was really like she had taken a suspended animation drug.
Thinking of this, Wei Li took a pill from her pocket and pinched the woman’s cheek. Then, she placed the pill in the woman’s mouth and let her take it.
After taking the pill, the girl immediately coughed violently. Then, she suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood and opened her eyes.
“She’s alive. She revived. Oh my god!” Many people exclaimed.

No matter what, it was good that she could be saved.
“Ah Li, what’s going on?” The Eldest Princess asked curiously.
At this moment, Wei Li turned around and came to the Eldest Princess’s side.
Then, she replied, “Eldest Princess, Miss Lu must have been poisoned. There’s
a very rare poison where atter taking it, she will seem dead, since she has no pulse or breathing, so it’s very easy to mistake her for dead. After she takes this poison, we have to give her the antidote within two hours. Otherwise, she won’t have any breathing or pulse from now on. She’ll be no different from a truly dead person!”
Those words shocked everyone.
They didn’t expect this sort of drug to exist in this world.
After Lu Haixin woke up, she vomited a lot of black blood and her face turned pale.
At this moment, she looked in Li Xiaoran’s direction.
“Thank you!”
Li Xiaoran was a little surprised to hear her say that.
“Although you entered suspended animation, you were conscious and heard what we just said?”
Lu Haixin nodded in agreement with Li Xiaoran.
Everyone was shocked by this.
No one expected things to turn out like this.
“Imperial Physician Dr. Liu, go take Miss Lu’s pulse now. See if there’s anything else wrong with her. Then, send someone to call the doctor over and treat Miss Lu’s external injuries!” The Eldest Princess said.
Seeing this, the Imperial Physician Dr. Liu quickly went forward to take Lu Haixin’s pulse again.
Li Xiaoran walked to the front and used a stone to dig up some blood-stained mud before sniffing it.
“This blood doesn’t seem to be human blood!”
