The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

He stepped forward, and it was unclear whether he was replying to her intentionally or deliberately ignoring her and explaining to the prime minister's wife. He only said, "I have sent someone else to come and test the poison. It won't be long before the truth is revealed."

His profile was like an ice sculpture, but it seemed that she was the only one who felt the coolness.

"I will never forgive those who harbor evil intentions!" He looked at her.

As expected... it has a hidden meaning, what a veiled innuendo.

Li Xiying didn't bother to care.

No matter how suspicious he was, there would always be a day when the clouds would be cleared and the sun would shine. Besides, she would have to go back to Luoyang sooner or later, and she would have nothing to do with him for the rest of her life, so there was no need to be angry.

A familiar-looking servant stood at the door, waiting for orders respectfully. Behind him stood an old man with thick eyebrows and white hair.

Long Qi asked the maid to tell the boy outside the door to bring the old man in.

The old man behind the servant came into the room carrying a cloth bag, walked up to the lady, bowed respectfully to her, and then took her pulse with the handkerchief that the maid had placed on her pulse.

A maid who brought the medicine looked no different from the previous doctors, but he looked to be at least sixty years old, so he should have some experience.

After the doctor confirmed the prescription, he gave it to the lady. Several people helped the lady up, but she vomited the medicine before it even reached her esophagus.

The doctor also concluded that it was poisoning, but his medical knowledge was limited and he was unable to determine what the poison was.

Unfortunately, the statements are exactly the same as those made by previous people.

The old man stroked his beard and said slowly, "Madam, since you can't eat, you can try a folk method. That is to fast for two days. During this period, you can only drink a little rice soup. You can take the medicine after you recover from this breath."

The doctor said this and left.

The second-class maids around the lady all nodded, took note of everything in their hearts, and sent him away.

"Qilang, where did you find this doctor?" Silang beside the bed was puzzled. He looked at the doctor for a long time with hope, but the result was exactly the same as what the old woman said, which dashed his hope.

"He is the most experienced doctor in Chang'an City, and his reputation is not inferior to that of the imperial physician." Long Qi replied.

The imperial physician couldn't find the cause of the disease, and even the most experienced doctor couldn't find any poison. Does that mean there's really no way to start?

Just as Silang was about to speak, he saw Qilang grabbing Li Xi's delicate wrist, and his tone turned to surprise, "Qilang, you..."

"What are you doing?" Li Xiying asked dissatisfiedly, and tried to wave his hand away as she stepped out of the door.

In full view of everyone, she was pulled out by Long Qi unexpectedly.

Her anger filled her entire chest. The last person who was disrespectful to her had been beaten to a pulp by her grandma!

The prime minister arrived at this time, looking exhausted, obviously just returning from court. Looking at the scene before him, Long Qi immediately let go of his hand and greeted respectfully.

The prime minister glanced at the two of them, frowned, and asked, "How is the madam?"

"Husband?"...

Before he could explain the situation, a weak voice was heard from inside the house, and he hurried into the house.

Li Xi waited for the prime minister to come in, pointed at Long Qi's nose, and said in a low voice: "How dare you touch me before the truth comes out?"

"You can go now. The poisoned horse case has nothing to do with you. The culprit for the lady's poisoning cannot be found, and it has nothing to do with you, so you don't need to stay and cooperate with anything." He ignored her words and ordered her to leave in a deep voice.

Li Xi glanced at the prime minister in the room. She thought that he wanted to drive her away so suddenly because he realized that the prime minister had already left the court and he didn't want her to have any contact with him again.

"Really? One moment you say I'm the murderer and you lock me up, the next moment you say I'm not the murderer and you drive me away; if one day you can't figure it out and you try to catch me back, then won't that mean you can control me? Why do you have the final say on everything?"

He snorted coldly, "With your little cleverness, if I didn't want you to escape from that room, do you think you could leave even half a step? I've given you a chance, don't be ungrateful."

"It seems that your head is terminally ill and no medicine can cure it!" After she said that, she sneered and turned her head to look away, just in time to see the old woman coming.

"Madam, here is the detailed list of dishes." The old woman handed the paper to her.

Long Qi looked at the scene in front of him, not hiding the shock in his eyes, "Mother Xiong, have you forgotten what is primary and secondary?"

"This... I don't know." The old woman lowered her head and looked puzzled, but she guessed something.

"She is an outsider, how can it be her turn to interfere in the affairs of the mansion?"

"..."

Li Xixiao had already taken the mulberry paper and stepped back two steps to the side, blocking out the noise around her ears and looking focused.

'Snakehead fish sashimi, salted duck in lotus leaves, loofah mushroom soup, bamboo leaf salad with oil, steamed half-cooked melon with egg, oysters with minced garlic...'

It was indeed exactly the same as yesterday. "Has your wife ever eaten these dishes before, except yesterday?"

The old woman thought for a moment and nodded and answered truthfully: "I have eaten them all. Most of the time, I cook them according to Madam's preferences."

"Really? If we rule out poisoning, and if my guess is correct..."

"What's the matter?" The old woman saw her pause and asked anxiously.

"I see that your wife has a slightly cold body. She tends to have acid reflux and belching after eating hot foods. So I picked foods that are easy to digest to alleviate the symptoms, right?"

"That's right. Madam usually suffers from stomach discomfort, but why did she get poisoned?" the old woman asked.

"Maybe it's because most of the dishes in this list are cold dishes, especially snakehead. People with weak spleen and stomach should eat less of them. Chinese medicine emphasizes the harmony of yin and yang. When yin is strong and yang is weak, the cold evil will also invade. If the cold evil is not eliminated, it will only make the situation worse."

"How do you know that Madam is suffering from a cold?" The Prime Minister's rough voice came from the room.

A few people were just discussing at the door, and it seemed that everyone in the room heard it.

Li Xiying glanced at Long Qi and walked into the room, then said, "My fourth uncle's... distant relative knows some medical skills, and sometimes teaches me to read people's faces to identify their spleen and stomach. Madam's face is slightly yellow, her lips are pale, and her body is easily tired and weak, which obviously means she is prone to gastrointestinal discomfort. But I'm just giving you a suggestion. After all, food is the most important thing for people. If you don't pay attention to these things in the future, I'm afraid your health will get worse and worse."

I heard from my grandfather that her fourth uncle loved to study the art of medicine since he was young, and he always took the work of the imperial physician. Her mother died prematurely when she gave birth to her, so she had a weak constitution when she was young, and it was her fourth uncle who slowly modified the prescriptions to nourish her.

However, if he said too much to the Prime Minister, he was afraid that he would try to find out the whereabouts of his fourth uncle. Therefore, he could only say that his fourth uncle's distant relative was dead, leaving him with nowhere to find out.

"Are Madam's daily eating habits really as she said?" the prime minister asked the old woman.

She nodded, "Madam does like to eat cold food. Because Madam is prone to indigestion, she dare not eat too much hot food, as she feels that it will hurt her stomach."

The prime minister said, "Since you know medicine, how about you prescribe some medicine for Madam?"

Did he...believe her?

Li Xixiao smiled and said: "I don't even know the basics. The medicine knows me, but I don't know it. Let's let a professional doctor do it. I have another suggestion, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."

"It doesn't matter if you say so."
