Everyone in my harem is talented

Chapter 446 Aura

Imperial Physician Yan Xichun packed up his medical box, gave instructions to his medical assistants and doctors, and was about to return to the Imperial Hospital.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he bumped into his immediate superior, Liu Ruogu, the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau.

In the Imperial Medical Service, the Director of the Hospital was the head of all medical officers and held the rank of fifth grade. Under him were the Left and Right Court Judges, who held the rank of sixth grade. Yan Xichun, as an imperial physician, belonged to the third echelon of the Imperial Medical Service and held the rank of seventh grade.

Upon meeting Envoy Liu, Yan Xichun bowed and said, "Greetings, Envoy Liu, are you here to see the twelfth prince?"

Liu Ruogu looked directly at Yan Xichun and asked, "How is the situation of the twelfth prince?"

Concubine Yu's strange illness tortured him to the point of exhaustion. His Majesty guessed that she had acute poisoning from taking the strange stone powder internally. He thought over and over again but could not think of any room for maneuver.

From prescribing the prescription to boiling the medicine and bringing it to Concubine Yu's mouth, more than one person was watching the whole process. Moreover, there was no powder in the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician for Concubine Yu. If it was really a strange stone or its powder, how could it be mixed in with the herbs without being detected?

To be on the safe side, Liu Ruogu personally checked the residue, re-boiled it and drank it himself, testing the medicine on himself, but did not find anything abnormal.

There was no problem with the medicine, so there was no possibility of any problem with the diet. Concubine Yu first went on a hunger strike, but after being persuaded to drink a few mouthfuls of white porridge, she said that she was depressed and had no appetite, so she only ate eggs boiled in water and white porridge. Other things were served to her, but she took them away without eating a single bite.

Could it be that he was thinking wrongly, and it wasn't the poison from the strange stone, but an unknown strange disease?

But there must be a reason for the strange disease.

I really couldn't figure it out, so I went out for a walk.

"The twelfth prince was poisoned by salt, but now he is detoxifying by drinking milk every day. Everything is fine." Yan Xichun said with relief.

Liu Ruogu stroked his long beard with a serious expression, "You were the first one to notice that Concubine Shun and the twelfth prince were poisoned by salt. Please tell me in detail."

Yan Xichun told the story in detail, and Liu Ruoyu pulled his beard as he listened.

"Wait, that's not right, that's not right." Liu Ruogu shook his head.

"You said that the eldest prince used the lead-tin kettle as an ornament, right? Then this kettle was given to the twelfth prince a few days ago. The twelfth prince was frightened, and the ninth prince gave the jujube wine to the twelfth prince to dispel the fright and calm his mind. It was also these two days."

"Although this lead-tin pot is in the shape of a wine pot, it cannot be used to hold wine because wine can release salt poison. However, it takes many years for wine to release the salt poison from the lead-tin pot. How could it be possible..."

Liu Ruogu frowned.

"At first I thought there was something wrong with the wine. Later I filled the pot with new wine and poured out the wine that was poisoned by salt. Only then did I conclude that there was something wrong with the pot. I also had doubts about Envoy Liu's doubts, but facts speak louder than words."

Yan Xichun raised his hand and rubbed his temple. "Maybe the difference in workmanship between the pots caused the poison to spread faster and slower? Maybe the original intention of making this pot was bad, otherwise how could this vessel that shouldn't be used to hold wine be made into the shape of a wine pot?"

"Forget it, you go back first. I'll go in and see the twelfth prince." Liu Ruogu shook his head.

Liu Ruogu stood quietly outside the palace, waiting for the eunuch to pass on the message. He was led into the twelfth prince's bedroom by the eunuch, and he bowed respectfully, then stepped forward to feel the twelfth prince's pulse.

"Your Highness is recovering quickly."

"Thank you, Envoy Liu. Envoy Liu had been frowning, and I thought I was going to die!" The twelfth prince Qin Mingfan rarely joked, his face looked like the sun had just cleared up after the rain, showing the childishness that should be expected at this age.

"Your Highness, please don't talk nonsense like that. Your Highness is worth a fortune and is blessed with great luck. You can turn misfortune into fortune and turn disaster into blessing," Liu Ruogu suddenly felt a little speechless.

The twelfth prince Qin Mingfan sighed lightly and interrupted Liu Ruogu's words.

"Envoy Liu said these flattering words with a melancholy look on his face. If I didn't know that I was fine, I would have misunderstood that Envoy Liu was not sincere. I wonder what troubles Envoy Liu has in his heart. Maybe I can help?"

"Alas." Liu Ruogu shook his head. "I just can't figure out one thing. How can a chronic poison become an acute poison?"

When the poison cannot be taken orally.

"Liu Yuanshi is the head of the Imperial Hospital. He is experienced and skilled in medicine. You can't figure out the matter of treating poison. I want to help you, but I am powerless."

The twelfth prince Qin Mingfan lowered his eyes, hiding the dim light in his pupils.

Before being used, the pot was boiled and washed with vinegar. After being rinsed with water to remove the vinegar smell, it was then filled with strong liquor. That is why the poison came out of the pot so quickly. I wonder if this is what Liu Yuanshi was talking about?

While the two men were sitting in silence, a eunuch ran in.

"Twelfth Prince, His Highness the Ninth Prince has sent a servant to ask you if you would like to go to the hot springs together. However, the poison in your body has not been completely eliminated. His Highness has reminded you that you should consult the imperial physician before agreeing. You..."

The eunuch looked at Liu Ruogu with surprise and said, "Hey, it happens that Envoy Liu is here. I wonder if the Twelfth Prince can go to the hot spring with His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince?"

Liu Ruogu was shocked and said, "No."

If you are poisoned, how can you soak in a hot spring as this will only increase the movement of toxins in your body?

Liu Ruogu suddenly had an idea.
