"These herbs can be combined to make a miraculous pill! I wrote this prescription for Miss Jiang after she asked me about it. I didn't expect her to actually use it to make the recipe!"
Jiang Jinyan scoffed, "What is Xiopin Dan? I've only heard of Dong Shi Xiopin."
He was certain that this prescription was made up by the owner of the drugstore to frame Zhu'er, and that Doctor Wang was just talking nonsense. However, the Ninth Prince thought that this was solid evidence that could be used against Zhu'er. How foolish!
Doctor Wang said in a deep voice:
"Xioupin Pills were commonly used during palace intrigues in the previous dynasty. This pill has no other uses, but it can make the person who takes it look haggard and sickly for a short period of time, just like Xi Shi holding her heart, without causing any harm to the body."
Jiang Xiancao laughed after hearing this. "That's a good name. If someone who's not sick takes this and pretends to be sick to win favor, isn't that just like the ugly woman imitating the beautiful woman?"
Jiang Jinyan heard that she was mocking Jiang Huaizhu and clenched his teeth.
Jiang Xiancao looked at him and said mockingly:
"Your daughter Zhu'er is very pampered in the Marquis' Mansion. She also has the habit of taking various expensive tonics on a regular basis. Her body is considered very healthy among women.
Although she was soaked in icy water when she fell into the water that day, I happened to arrive at her, and I immediately jumped into the water and rescued her myself.
She was in the ice water for a very short time. Logically, she should have had a fever afterwards, which could have been cured by covering herself with a blanket overnight. However, she was so sick that her face was completely pale, as if she had one foot in the gate of hell. Don't you two gentlemen find it strange?"
Jiang Jinyan was silent for a moment, then sneered:
"Your Highness, are you saying that Zhu'er took some kind of mimicking pill and pretended to be sick in front of us? What's her purpose in doing this?"
Jiang Xiancao smiled faintly and said:
"Your sister's purpose is simple. She wants to act pitiful enough to make this king feel distressed and angry, and then decide to use the blood from the ginger grass to replenish her body."
Doctor Wang also suddenly realized:
“Yes, that makes sense now.
She asked me to find an opportunity to present the so-called secret recipe for blood transfusion to the prince. She also prepared a mimic pill in advance, which she would take immediately after falling into the water to pretend to be seriously ill. In this way, the prince and several young masters would act completely according to her wishes in anger.
From this perspective, falling into the water must have been her way of winning favor, and Miss Jiang must have been wronged.
Otherwise, how could she have predicted that Second Miss Jiang would push her down that day? Wouldn't all the preparations she made in advance have been in vain? "
A moment of hesitation flashed through Jiang Jinyan's mind.
Is that really true?
Everything was Zhu'er's deliberate conspiracy. Is her mind really so sinister and vicious?
No, it's impossible!
Zhu'er is the simplest and kindest girl in the world. How could he not know what his sister, whom he has watched grow up, is like?
These so-called evidences were all false testimonies produced by the Ninth Prince through coercion and bribery of these people.
He would never be fooled by this and wrongly accuse his own sister!
"Ninth Prince, you've gathered so many people, and their testimonies are indeed unfavorable to Zhu'er. But have you ever considered that even if they all testify against Zhu'er, they might not have colluded. In the end, they're just empty talk."
Jiang Jinyan sneered, "As wise as you are, don't be fooled by their lies. It's better to produce physical evidence..."
Jiang Xiancao was waiting for his words and immediately said:
"Who told you that I have no physical evidence?"
