Chapter 259 He fell into a coma, and was in great danger!

The smell of this herbal soup...

Yuan Heng had already picked up the medicine bowl, intending to make a good impression on Ji Qingwu.

Ji Qingwu raised her hand and placed it on his forearm.

"Wait a moment."

She took the bowl of soup and asked, "Where did this medicinal soup come from?"

Seeing her question, Xiao Shunzi replied, "This is what I got from the Imperial Hospital this morning, and it's the same prescription Miss Ji wrote yesterday."

Ji Qingwu's gaze fell on the thick, dark medicine, which looked no different from yesterday's.

Xiao Shunzi may seem impulsive, but he's quick-witted. He asked in a low voice, "Did you notice something was wrong?"

Ji Qingwu said calmly, "No, His Highness's illness has improved a lot, so he doesn't need to take this medicine to dispel cold today."

Upon hearing her words, Yuan Heng's face lit up with joy, and his dark eyes shone as he stared at her.

Ji Qingwu looked at him and said, "I also caught a chill yesterday. Since it's not going to go to waste, give it to me."

Yuan Heng hurriedly pushed the medicine to her side and said, "It's still warm. Drink it quickly, and you'll be cured."

Ji Qingwu took the medicine bowl with the auspicious pattern on it without pausing, as if he had not noticed anything unusual.

She brought it to her lips and took a small bite.

There was indeed something wrong with this herbal soup.

The taste on the tip of the tongue, besides the heavy sourness and bitterness, also has a hint of sweetness.

Poison cannot be detected by simply using a silver needle. If she weren't sensitive to the smell of medicinal herbs, she probably wouldn't have been able to detect it either.

There was a problem with the medicine that the Imperial Hospital was preparing for the young prince, and everyone who had access to the medicine was suspicious.

However, now that the Empress Dowager and the ladies of the harem have all left the palace to accompany the Emperor in ancestral worship, who exactly is it that would want to use her to secretly harm Yuan Heng?

Ji Qingwu didn't know who was so audacious, nor was she sure if Xiao Shunzi was reliable.

She put down the medicine without changing her expression and said, "This medicine is suitable for children, but it's not right for my condition. I'll brew a stronger one myself later."

After finishing the meal.

Yuan Heng had to complete his daily lessons with the Grand Tutor, so Ji Qingwu stayed in the Qian Yuan Hall.

She hadn't been able to identify the extra medicinal ingredient that had been added earlier.

Ji Qingwu has tried many medicines, and his body has developed resistance to mildly toxic drugs, so he is not afraid of poisons.

She specifically sought out a secluded spot.

He whispered, "Sunflower seeds, sunflower seeds..."

After reading a couple of sentences, Ji Qingwu realized something was wrong; the system didn't seem to have this name.

It's been so long since we last contacted each other that she's almost forgotten about it.

Ji Qingwu cleared his throat, pretending that the misunderstanding had never happened.

He continued, "Peanuts, peanuts, peanuts, peanuts, peanuts..."

Similarly, after not receiving instructions from the host for a long time, the system's response speed is very slow, like an old machine.

Just as Ji Qingwu thought he had called the wrong name again, he finally heard that cold, mechanical voice.

[Dear host, what can I do for you?]

Ji Qingwu breathed a sigh of relief: "Peanut, it's great that you're here. Quickly help me analyze what kind of drug is in my body?"

[Host, a body scan requires 1000 points]

Ji Qingwu said, "If I remember correctly, the terms of the contract signed in the AI ​​state that a free physical examination can be conducted every six months."

[Upon checking, a free check was already conducted for you on the dragon boat last time.]

Ji Qingwu recalled that there seemed to be such a thing, but she spent 10,000 points to solve it that time, which had nothing to do with being free.

She ground her back teeth and asked, "How many points do I have left?"

【One thousand two hundred.......

Ji Qingwu immediately raised questions.

"I only have this many points left? You unscrupulous swindler, you've deducted my hard-earned points, haven't you?"

[Sorry, there was a lag just now. The memory has been cleared. Your points are now 12,397,800.]

More than ten million...

This isn't just points; it's the result of her four years of hard work.

It's time to spend lavishly.

Spending money on my son is even less of a burden; even if I check it a hundred times, it won't threaten the number of digits in the score.

Ji Qingwu generously said, "Take this small amount of one thousand points."

Please remain still and wait one minute for the scan results.

Ji Qingwu sat up straight, feeling his whole body enveloped in blue light, and hearing a crackling sound of electricity in his ears.

Soon, the system voice sounded.

The new drug that identified the host's body is Blood Vine.

Ji Qingwu had heard of this medicinal herb. The Blood Vine and the Rulan in her prescription were incompatible, and the combined effect of the two was...

It can cause a person to fall into a state of unconsciousness.

However, this Blood Vine is extremely rare, both in heaven and on earth, and it is not easy to cultivate; neither Southern Chu nor Northern Li possesses it.

Legend has it that this ingredient was used by the Sa people of Xijin to make secret medicines.

Ji Qingwu asked, "I don't feel dizzy yet, why is that?"

The time for the attack has not yet come; it will silently enter a state of unconsciousness while the host is sleeping at night.

Ji Qingwu said, "How can we detoxify this? I can't just not sleep!"

[The host has only ingested a small amount of medication; a full 24 hours of sleep will restore normal function.]

Sleeping for a day and a night is not a big deal.

Relieved by this reply, Ji Qingwu felt at ease.

But it was brought up again immediately.

Oh no!

This medicine is for Yuan Heng, and it's a secret medicine from Xi Jin.

The little guy is in danger!

Ji Qingwu lifted her skirt and ran outside, encountering a young eunuch from the Qian Yuan Palace on the way.

Grabbing his arm, she asked, "Where is Your Highness now?"

The young eunuch, who was sweeping, was startled and replied, "His Highness is here, in the study."

Ji Qingwu asked, "Where is the study?"

The young eunuch pointed her in a direction.

The study was located to the west of the Qian Yuan Hall. Ji Qingwu quickened his pace and had just climbed the steps when he heard a heavy thud behind him.

As soon as she turned around, she saw the young eunuch who had asked her for directions earlier lying on the ground.

A gleaming blade slashed into his throat.

Ji Qingwu didn't have time to think about how this happened. She frowned and pushed open the study door.

The study was empty; no one was behind the desk.

Ji Qingwu panicked and said: "Yuan Heng?"

Was she too late...?

Ji Qingwu suddenly felt like he couldn't breathe.

There were assassins behind her, but she didn't know where Yuan Heng was or if he had encountered any danger.

The image of the little eunuch lying on the ground kept replaying in her mind.

Just then, a small figure emerged from behind the bookshelf.

Seeing Yuan Heng, holding a classic book, appear before her unharmed, Ji Qingwu's heart finally calmed down a little.

"come over."

Noticing her tension, Yuan Heng didn't ask anything and quickly ran to her and stood in front of her.

Ji Qingwu hugged his small body tightly, and only when she felt the warmth emanating from it did her heart settle down.

He calmly instructed, "Yuan Heng, there are assassins outside."
