After the old doctor arrived, he first felt the empress's pulse, then asked about the cause of the illness. When he learned that the empress had just been angry, he stroked his beard and said, "The empress's pulse is a little weak, and her chest is stuffy and she is short of breath. It is obvious that she is angry. There is no need to worry about these symptoms. Just rest for two days and she will be fine..."

Su Xuqing was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then she said without thinking: "Doctor, are you sure it's just anger? Isn't the Queen poisoned?"

When these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked. The third prince, who was sitting far away, narrowed his eyes and held the cup in his hand tightly.

The old doctor was stunned for a moment, then looked at Su Xuqing with displeasure, "Who are you and why are you talking nonsense here? The queen looks normal and her pulse is just a little weak. How can this be a symptom of poisoning?"

Seeing his wife being questioned, Shen Xuanheng's face darkened, "Madam, since the imperial physician is so sure, we should not meddle in other people's business. If something goes wrong, someone will confiscate our property and exterminate our clan."

The old doctor did not mention Shen Xuanheng. Seeing that he was wearing the second-rank court robes, he did not take it too seriously.

"My Lord, it's not that I'm being harsh, but medicine is a very broad and profound art. If you don't have a deep understanding of it, it's best not to make a diagnosis casually. Otherwise, a misdiagnosis could harm someone."

Although the old doctor did not say it explicitly, his words implied that Su Xuqing's medical skills were not very good.

"Doctor Zhao, please be careful with your words."

Seeing that Doctor Zhao was about to find out about Shen Xuanheng, Xiao Yuheng hurriedly stopped him, then cupped his hands and said, "Prince and Princess, please be tolerant. Doctor Zhao is old and has a stubborn temper, but his medical skills have always been good. Please don't take it personally."

Shen Xuanheng's expression softened upon hearing this, and he said calmly, "Since the eldest prince has spoken, then I will naturally sell you a seedling."

Su Xuqing looked helpless, not wanting to continue pestering her. She forced a smile and said calmly, "If that's the case, just treat it as nonsense."

Xiao Yuheng nodded slightly and wanted to help the queen to rest.

At this moment, the little princess Tang Xue frowned. After hesitating for a moment, she hurried to the queen and reached out to grab her sleeve.

"Empress, Sister Su is a very good doctor. She said you were poisoned, so you might really be poisoned."

Hearing this, Doctor Zhao smiled sarcastically, "It seems that this lady is popular with people. Even the little princess has been charmed by her."

Tang Xue got angry when she heard this and kicked Doctor Zhao on the knee. "You old man, you are so bold. Did the princess let you speak? Sister Su is a miracle doctor who can even cure wolfsbane. Her reputation has spread throughout the capital. What are you so proud of? How dare you question her?"

Doctor Zhao felt his knees go numb and he almost fell down. He was stunned and looked at Su Xuqing in surprise.

Recently there have been rumors in the capital that someone can cure wolfsbane. Imperial Physician Zhao did not believe it, but the rumors have become more and more intense recently, saying that the conditions of many patients have gradually improved and there is really a possibility of cure.

"You...you...are you the Crown Prince's Consort of the Zhen'an Palace, the one who treated wolfsbane?"

Doctor Zhao's tone suddenly lost its arrogance, and he spoke haltingly.

At this moment, the expressions of the Queen and Xiao Yuheng became solemn. What was going on? Could it be that the Crown Prince's Consort of the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion was of great importance?

"Yes, it's me."

Su Xuqing had a calm expression, neither arrogant nor impatient.

"This……"

Doctor Zhao suddenly became a little unsure and said hesitantly, "The Crown Prince's Consort just said that the Queen was poisoned. Is there any basis for this?"

Su Xuqing was questioned by Doctor Zhao for no reason, and now he asked her again with a shameless face. Even if Su Xuqing had a good temper, she didn't want to pay attention to him at this moment.

"I just said nonsense, Doctor Zhao, please don't pay attention to me."

Seeing Su Xuqing's cold eyes, Doctor Zhao was sweating profusely. You know, wolfsbane disease has not been cured for thousands of years, and the Crown Prince's wife has brought the queen back to life with her miraculous hands. It is obvious that she has unique medical skills. It is possible that the Queen was really poisoned.

Doctor Zhao quickly bowed and humbly said, "Princess, I was disrespectful just now. Since this is related to the Queen's health, please put aside your past grudges and treat the Queen."

Seeing the sudden change in Doctor Zhao's attitude, Xiao Yuheng couldn't help but become suspicious. He looked at Su Xuqing and said, "Princess, is my mother really poisoned?"

Even the eldest prince came to ask, Su Xuqing glanced at Shen Xuanheng, and Shen Xuanheng nodded slightly. He had to give face to the royal family.

Seeing her husband's agreement, Su Xuqing finally relaxed.

"The Queen has a subtle fragrance on her body. After inhaling it, one's mind becomes erratic. If I'm right, the Queen has been using calming incense recently, right?"

The queen nodded slowly, frowned and asked, "Yes, is there something wrong with this calming incense?"

"There's nothing wrong with the calming incense. The problem lies somewhere else."

Su Xuqing talked freely, "Before entering the Fengluan Palace, I saw many white orchids planted in the courtyard, the tallest of which was five or six feet long. Now is the white orchid blooming season, and it is also the time for it to spread pollen. The white orchid pollen is originally non-toxic, but when combined with the powder of the calming grass in the calming incense and burned, it will emit toxic green smoke. This toxic smoke is not harmful in a short period of contact, but over time, the toxins will accumulate in the body, from dizziness and nausea at the beginning, to dementia and inability to take care of oneself in the end."

As soon as he finished speaking, Doctor Zhao woke up as if from a dream and slapped his forehead.

"No wonder the Queen's pulse didn't seem to be abnormal. It turned out to be this kind of chronic poison. Why didn't I think of it? Why didn't I think of it!"

Seeing Doctor Zhao acting like this, the Queen immediately panicked. She was only forty years old, it would be disastrous if she became demented!

"Elder Concubine."

The queen stood up hastily, grabbed Su Xuqing's wrist, and asked repeatedly: "How do I detoxify this poison? Will it have any effect on my body in the future?"

Su Xuqing smiled and said slowly: "Don't worry, Queen. The toxins in your body should have just started to accumulate. You just need to have someone remove the white orchids and then write a decoction to clear away heat and detoxify. "

Upon hearing this, the Queen immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then her eyes became much gentler as she looked towards Su Xuqing.

"Thank you for coming today, otherwise I would be in danger."

Doctor Zhao was embarrassed when he heard this, and he immediately knelt down to apologize, "Your Majesty, I am not a good doctor, and my misdiagnosis almost put you in danger. Please punish me."

At this moment, Doctor Zhao wished he could find a hole to crawl into. His sarcastic words to Su Xuqing were like a boomerang, hitting him right in the body.

The queen glanced at him coldly and scolded him, "There are always people who are better than you. Don't be so arrogant in the future. Study your medical skills well and don't let me see you being so embarrassed again."

Doctor Zhao nodded repeatedly, "The Queen is right."
