After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

Chapter 159: Incense Made by Concubine Jia

Doctor Liu spoke suddenly, and Eunuch Luo's hand trembled, almost spilling the ginseng soup.

"What's wrong?" Eunuch Luo asked carefully.

Doctor Liu took the ginseng soup from Eunuch Luo's hand and smelled it carefully.

"Isn't there only ginseng in here?" Doctor Liu frowned.

Doctor Chen said quickly, "Yes, Doctor Liu, ginseng alone is not enough for your majesty's health, so I added ramie to it."

Doctor Liu nodded.

Cabbage is a tonic, and with the addition of ginseng, it can indeed maximize its medicinal efficacy.

but......

"Doctor Chen should know that it is easy to confuse Cabbage and Green Cabbage, right?" Doctor Liu said.

Mature cabbage is a tonic, while unripe green cabbage is somewhat toxic.

However, the two look very similar, and if you don't look closely you can't tell the difference.

"You mean, there is green cabbage in the ginseng soup?" Doctor Chen asked in surprise.

Doctor Liu nodded, "This possibility cannot be ruled out."

Xiao Yuheng frowned.

"Someone, bring the soup pot for ginseng soup."

The ginseng soup has just been cooked, and the residue must have not been processed yet.

Xiao Shunzi, who was standing aside, shuddered when he heard this.

After a while, the palace servant brought the soup bowl over.

Doctor Liu poured the residue from the soup bowl onto the table, ignoring the fact that it was still steaming, and began to search carefully.

Doctor Chen also hurried forward to search together.

Suddenly, Doctor Liu paused.

He picked up a pill the size of a black bean and handed it to Doctor Chen.

Doctor Chen quickly took it, put it in his mouth and took a bite.

He was shocked.

It was indeed Qingsong!

Doctor Chen quickened his search speed.

The two eventually found a handful of green cabbage in the dregs, but the quantity was not large.

Doctor Chen placed it on a handkerchief and presented it to Xiao Yujing.

"Your Highness..."

His lips trembled. He didn't expect that such a thing would happen under his nose.

This ginseng soup has always been made by Xiao Shunzi.

Xiao Yujing looked at Xiao Shunzi who was trembling beside him.

"Someone, drag me down."

"Your Highness! Your Highness, I am innocent!" Xiao Shunzi begged for mercy quickly.

Xiao Yujing ignored him and ordered his men to drag him away.

Doctor Chen stood aside, still feeling somewhat confused.

Qingsong saw that although it was poisonous, the toxicity was weak and such a small dose would not put His Majesty in the current danger.

Doctor Liu resolved the doubts in his mind.

"Your Highness, this simple sight is not fatal."

"But if we cooperate with Chuan Kui, the situation will be completely different..."

Doctor Chen's body shook violently.

Yes, if Qingsongjian is taken together with Chuankui, it will cause a fatal poison.

"But there is no Chuankui in the prescription." Doctor Chen said.

Doctor Liu looked at Eunuch Luo.

"Sir, I would like to ask, does Your Majesty like to use spices and other things on a daily basis?"

Spices are things that women usually use. How could His Majesty use those?

Eunuch Luo shook his head.

Suddenly, he remembered something.

"Your Majesty usually suffers from insomnia, so Concubine Jia specially made a sleeping incense for your Majesty. Your Majesty always lights a stick of incense before going to bed at night."

"Doctor Chen also knows about this incense."

Upon hearing this, Doctor Chen nodded.

"Can you please bring the incense over for us to have a look?" Doctor Liu asked.

Eunuch Luo quickly took one.

Doctor Liu took the incense and sniffed it.

Suddenly, his face changed drastically.

"How long has your majesty been using this incense?!"

"It's been almost a year..." Eunuch Luo hesitated.

No wonder…

Doctor Liu looked at Xiao Yujing with a serious expression.

"Your Highness, I just smelled the incense and found that there is amaranth in it."

"What did you say?!" Doctor Chen was shocked.

When Concubine Jia was making incense, she asked for his opinion, but there was no Chuankui in the recipe at that time.

Doctor Chen didn't believe it, so he took the incense from Doctor Liu's hand and put it to his nose to smell it.

Sure enough, I smelled a faint scent of Sichuan sunflower.

Doctor Chen was horrified.

He fell to his knees with a plop.

"Your Highness is very observant! When I gave the recipe to Concubine Jia, there was no Chuan Kui in it."

Xiao Yujing's face was cold.

Seeing that Doctor Liu seemed to have something else to say, he spoke:

"Doctor Liu, please continue."

Doctor Liu continued:

"Although this Chuankui and Qingcai are highly toxic when combined, they can only be taken together."

"Now that the Chuankui is placed in the incense, even though Your Majesty falls asleep with the incense every night, the toxicity is much weaker after all, and there is no fatal danger."

"But if it lasts too long, Your Majesty will become paralyzed and unable to move. Eventually, it will be like a stroke, with your whole body paralyzed and your mind lost."

He discovered this situation when he passed by a village one day and saw many people in the village suffering from stroke.

Eunuch Luo said quickly, "Yes, yes, your majesty has been telling me recently that his arms are numb and he can't even hold a pen."

Doctor Liu nodded.

"Your Majesty suddenly fell ill today. I think it was because of an excessive amount of green cabbage in the ginseng soup you took during the day. Your Highness can find the dregs of the ginseng soup today, and I will know the answer after a test."

Xiao Yujing's eyes were sharp and a chill emanated from his whole body.

There is no need to look for the scum anymore, I'm afraid they have already been dealt with by Xiao Shunzi.

From what Doctor Liu said just now that there was something wrong with the incense, he knew that all this was the work of Concubine Jia and the Third Prince.

Xiao Yujing clenched his fists tightly.

"Your Highness, this..." Eunuch Luo said worriedly.

He really didn't expect that Xiao Shunzi, who was with the emperor every day, was actually Concubine Jia's man.

Xiao Yujing said coldly:

"Eunuch Luo, send someone to guard the cold palace tightly. No one is allowed to enter or leave."

Concubine Jia is his father's concubine, and he cannot deal with her easily. He can only wait until his father wakes up before making a decision.

"As for you."

Xiao Yujing looked at Doctor Chen.

"Although the Imperial Hospital has not committed any serious crime, it cannot escape the responsibility of dereliction of duty. All those responsible for my father's illness will be demoted one level and fined for half a year!"

After Xiao Yujing finished speaking, Doctor Chen shuddered all over.

He knew that the Crown Prince was being lenient with him.

"I thank your Highness for your grace."

Doctor Liu wrote another prescription to help His Majesty recover from his illness.

"Although the emperor is fine now, his health has been damaged too much due to Qing Songjian's influence in the past two years. He can only rest well and not worry or overwork himself." Doctor Liu warned.

Doctor Chen took the prescription with gratitude.

Duke Jiang and Jiang Ci'an both breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that the emperor had safely escaped the danger.

After the emperor's affairs were dealt with, the two of them took Doctor Liu and left.

"General Jiang." Xiao Yujing suddenly spoke.

Jiang Ci'an stopped, turned around and looked at Xiao Yujing.

"Your Highness, is there anything else?" Jiang Ci'an asked with a bow.

Xiao Yujing said, "At the end of the month, all countries will come to Beijing to pay tribute. General Jiang must arrange for personnel to ensure the safety of Kyoto."

Speaking of this, Jiang Ci'an's expression slightly stiffened.

"Yes, Your Highness."
