Mr. Fanglin couldn't suppress his joy after drinking the apprenticeship tea.

"Girl, tell me which poison you solved?"

"That's it." Chu Jian was also delighted, and quickly opened the book and pointed to a page, "Can drinking mung bean soup solve it?"

The old doctor looked at the three big words "Wuxingsan" and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared.

This girl!

The Wuxing Powder he developed, once taken by the person, will cause hearing loss, blurred vision, numbness of limbs, decreased sense of smell and taste, until all five senses are lost and the person ends up being turned into a walking corpse. The entire process is controlled by the dosage of the drug. A small dosage may delay the onset of the poison for a year or so, while a large dosage may take only two or three days.

Although it is not a deadly poison that can kill people instantly, and although there is still a chance of treatment as long as the patient is conscious, it is not something that can be detoxified by just making mung bean soup!

That's too much to underestimate him!

"Master, did I say something wrong?" I felt the atmosphere was not right the moment I first saw it.

"You're totally wrong!" The old doctor told her the symptoms of poisoning from Wuxing Powder, and he was so excited that he stood up and his voice was much louder. "Do you think mung bean soup can cure it?"

"No." Chu Jian lowered her head. In fact, she just saw that there was a northern almond in the poison recipe and thought that mung bean soup would be useful, that's all. It seems that studying medicine is difficult, and studying poison is even more difficult.

Oh, why do you have to learn how to poison for no reason? Really!

"If you don't even know the most basic things, don't read this book for now. Learn the medicinal properties of every herb in this pharmacy! There is a medical book on the counter, read it yourself! Considering that you will be very busy with your wedding this month, I'll give you more time and I'll examine you in a month!" The old doctor snatched the book and left angrily.

The pharmacy in this palace is very large, with a very long medicine cabinet, and there are five or six hundred kinds of medicine. She spent a whole day just identifying the herbs that day and was barely able to match the names with the actual objects. Now she is only given one month to study pharmacology. It takes several years to study and intern in a regular college, and even after getting a registered physician, there are regular assessments every two years. It is not easy to understand pharmacology in one month.

"Hmph! Old man! Stinky old man!" Chu Jian made a face at his back.

Although she couldn't detox any of them, she had memorized half of the poison recipes in the book by rote. She would prepare one someday and give it to the old man to see how he could deal with it. Now she knew how to detoxify.

Hehehe... Chu Jian thought he was too smart.

This was the expression on her face that Jing Muyang saw when he came back from court and went straight to the pharmacy. Uh, why did he feel like she looked a bit like a treacherous villain?

"First time meeting you." Jing Muyang stepped forward and touched her head. He had just met the old doctor, who looked very angry. "Is it Mr. Fanglin who refused to teach you?"

"The old man has recognized me." Chu Jian raised his head proudly.

"Okay, I knew that my princess is no ordinary woman." Jing Muyang smiled. He was afraid that the old doctor would have trouble with her in the future.

"Your Highness, Lady Yu from the Jade Embroidery Workshop has arrived." Liu Quan, the palace steward, came in from outside and whispered.

"Okay, Princess, let's go and try on your new clothes." Jing Muyang pulled her to the front yard.

"New clothes again? I already have more than a dozen sets."

Since leaving Yangshu Village, I bought her suitable clothes along the way. On the second day after returning home, I bought her ten sets of clothes in one go. I put them all there, and she had to wear them all.

Besides, she is not a person who likes dressing up very much, and feels that having so many clothes is enough.

"Princess, this is different. The clothes we bought before were all ready-made, but this is custom-made. And how can you dress so casually to go to a palace banquet? As the mistress of Prince Zhan's Mansion, your husband still needs you to support this status." Jing Muyang put his arm around her waist and continued walking forward.

"Palace banquet? When?" Chu Jian felt a little sweat on her forehead. She didn't like entering the palace, kneeling here and there, and she didn't know the rules. Alas!

"Tonight, our father has specially prepared a palace banquet for us to celebrate our return from the King of Hell." Jing Muyang sensed her nervousness and stopped to stare at her. "Chu Jian, don't be afraid. Just stay with me. I will protect you. There will be many more banquets like this in the future. You need to slowly get used to it."

"Okay." Chu Jian responded helplessly, she was very scared. If it was just a banquet to eat, drink and have fun, there would be no pressure at all. But this was an ancient palace, and she didn't know if the little modern etiquette she knew would be applicable. If she had known earlier, she would have learned more.

The Prime Minister's wife's words popped up again. There were so many nobles in the palace. What if she really offended them? What if those nobles picked on her? Would she really lose her head?

"First time meeting, first time meeting?" Jing Muyang called her several times. Although she responded, the fear overflowing from her was so obvious, "First time meeting!"

"Ah." Chu Jian finally came back to his senses.

"Don't be afraid. You must remember that you are Princess Zhan, and I am your backer. No matter who wants to deal with you, they must think twice. Just stand up straight and bully back whoever bullies you. Don't be afraid, I will protect you." Jing Muyang pulled her into his arms.

"But you can't even protect yourself." Chu Jian muttered. That's right, if you can protect yourself, how could you be poisoned and buried alive?

Jing Muyang...

What Chu Jian said was right. It was only my fault that I did not guard enough. I always thought that my father was still alive and had appointed a crown prince. I had no intention of competing for the throne, nor did I form cliques. Naturally, I did not take the actions of my brothers to heart.

He was respectful to the crown prince, courteous to his brothers, and only cared about the interests of the Lingyin Kingdom. It was because of his sincerity that his father gave him the military power. He did not expect that his sincerity would eventually bring him a fatal disaster.

His military exploits were so great, and he was favored by the emperor, so there were many people who could not tolerate him. Now that he has returned, I am afraid there will be more dangers.

"First meeting, do you regret following me?" Jing Muyang asked carefully.

"Do you regret choosing me? If you choose Chu Xia, the Prime Minister's Mansion will be your helper, and I have no power behind me." Chu Jian said sullenly. She had thought about this question the day the Prime Minister came to the mansion. After all, it was an indisputable fact that the Prime Minister did not care about her.

"I don't regret it. I only want you." Jing Muyang held her face in his hands. "Don't let your imagination run wild. Just stand by my side. I will protect you no matter what you look like. Don't worry. I'm not as weak as you think."
