Chapter 99: Poison
She probably has a clue in her mind, but she's not sure yet. She needs to take a blood sample to make a definitive conclusion."
Jiang Shuo didn't hesitate at all and nodded, "Of course."
As he spoke, he took out a dagger and cut his finger.
It was too late for Chen Fenghe to speak out to stop him, and she couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
He is so decisive in his actions, he must be a werewolf.
Chen Fenghe quickly took the ceramic bowl to collect some of the liquid, then took out a handkerchief and carefully bandaged his finger.
One of Luo Yan's men, who was watching the two of them from a distance, came up to Luo Yan and whispered, "General, didn't you say that Madam Shen is the Crown Princess? She is so blatant with another man like this... Do we really not need to care?"
After hearing this, Luo Yan slapped him on the head and scolded him in a low voice: "You know nothing, mind your own business! Get out of here..."
The soldier ran away dejectedly, but after just a few steps, Luo Yan called him back: "Get back here!"
The soldier came back dejectedly, feeling aggrieved.
Luo Yan whispered, "Tell the brothers, none of you saw what happened just now. If anyone dares to chew the leather, I will kick you!"
The soldier was scolded and left in shame.
Chen Fenghe collected the blood sample and then said to Jiang Shuo, "I'm going to the river over there to wash it. Don't let anyone else come over."
Jiang Shuo was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something, coughed awkwardly, and said, "Don't worry, Madam Shen."
Chen Fenghe: “…”
Is this man thinking something wrong?
But, it’s okay as long as no one comes.
Chen Fenghe turned the corner and went straight into the space.
She quickly took the blood sample for analysis and took another sample to observe under a microscope.
Soon, the results came out, and Shen Fenghe's expression became unusually serious.
Just as she guessed, Jiang Shuo was indeed poisoned, and it was not an ordinary poison, but a kind of poison that was only found in Miaojiang.
Chen Fenghe had only seen descriptions of raising Gu in ancient books before, and this was the first time he had seen it.
According to her knowledge, there is a kind of poison called Forget Worry Gu that can cause amnesia.
When you are first infected by the Gu, it is not fatal. Instead, it will quickly crawl into the brain through the blood and grow slowly. The first symptom that appears is amnesia. In addition to amnesia, the infected person is unconscious. But when the Gu worm grows to a certain size, it will suddenly reveal its hideous face and quickly devour the brain of the infected person. The infected person will begin to feel pain all over the body and become paralyzed, unable to obey commands, and his intelligence will decline, becoming a fool, and eventually the poison will take his life!
This process can take as short as a few months or as long as several years. The person who is poisoned can even hear the sound of the insect devouring his brain, which is quite torturous.
When Chen Fenghe first saw this kind of ancient book, she didn't believe it. Unexpectedly... she actually encountered it!
If Jiang Shuo is really the prince, then it makes sense that his symptoms have turned into amnesia since more than a month has passed since he fell off the cliff.
However, the person who put the poison in the body was too vicious. Killing people is not enough to punish them. Why torture people in this way?
Fortunately, ancient books recorded how to remove the poison, and her space contained all kinds of precious medicinal materials from the entire imperial hospital, so curing the poison was no problem.
However, the Forget Worry Gu is mild at first. If strong medicine is used at the beginning, it will force the poison to break out prematurely and affect the host. Therefore, it needs to be treated with decoctions and medicines unconsciously.
Moreover, it is not an ordinary medicinal herb, but a poison to fight poison with poison.
Chen Fenghe emerged from the space, walked straight to Jiang Shuo, and asked, "Is Mr. Jiang's original surname Jiang?"
Jiang Shuo was stunned for a moment, his brows slightly furrowed, and he asked, "Why do you ask that?"
His last name wasn't Jiang. Could it be that... she was blaming her for hiding her identity? But... if he himself didn't know who he really was, it couldn't be considered a lie...
Chen Fenghe didn't waste any words and said directly: "Let me ask you another way. Have you lost your memory?"
When Luo Yan heard this, he stood up and looked at Jiang Shuo with sharp eyes.
Jiang Shuo looked at her, feeling even more surprised. How did she guess that?
He didn't hide it, nodded, and said, "Yes. Over a month ago, I fell off a cliff and was rescued by people from Jiangjia Village who were fleeing famine. But when I woke up, I probably hit my head and couldn't remember my name. Old Man Jiang, who rescued me, was afraid that I wouldn't be treated as a refugee if they questioned me about my lack of household registration, so he temporarily let me take the surname Jiang from Jiangjia Village and flee with them. It wouldn't be too late to leave on my own later if I remembered anything."
Chen Fenghe nodded. So that’s how it is.
No wonder I met him and two men and women named Jiang walking together in Daming Prefecture that day. It turns out there is such a connection.
At this moment, Luo Yan strode over and looked at Jiang Shuo excitedly. However, he restrained himself when the name was on the tip of his tongue. He asked cautiously in a trembling voice, "You said you were rescued at the bottom of a cliff. Do you know the name of that mountain and cliff?"
Although Jiang Shuo had lost his memory, after this series of events, first being recognized by the Queen and the little devil, and then hearing the questions that Shen Fenghe had just asked, he had vaguely guessed something.
He said, "When I woke up, I had been pushed far away by the people from Jiangjia Village. But Father Jiang told me that I was rescued at the foot of the west cliff of Zhulu Mountain."
Luo Yan shuddered, staring at Jiang Shuo with wide eyes. Then he sank to his knees and kowtowed, saying, "Your Highness! I was too late to save you. Please punish me!"
After hearing this, Yuan Xu and the others were stunned for a moment, but soon they all knelt down and shouted in unison: "Your Highness! Please punish us for not saving you in time!"
Jiang Shuo frowned slightly, stepped forward and helped Luo Yan up, and said calmly: "Although you recognized me as the crown prince, I don't remember anything about what happened before. Maybe I just happened to look like the crown prince, and you might have made a mistake."
Chen Fenghe couldn't help but look at Jiang Shuo with admiration.
An ordinary person, even if he had lost his memory, would probably become weak in the knees if so many people knelt down to worship him and recognized him as the prince.
After all, the prince is now charged with treason and is recognized as the prince. If he is discovered and caught by the officers and soldiers, he will be beheaded.
But Jiang Shuo remained calm and composed, and Shen Fenghe didn't believe that he was just an ordinary person.
Luo Yan said with certainty: "No! This subordinate will never make a mistake. The place where His Highness fell off the cliff matches, and his appearance also matches, so it must be His Highness! This subordinate deserves death. This subordinate recognized His Highness the first time he saw Him, but His Highness did not show any acquaintance with us at that time, so this subordinate did not dare to recognize Him rashly. Please forgive me, Your Highness!"
As he spoke, he turned and bowed to Chen Fenghe, then asked, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty just asked Your Highness if he had lost his memory. Could it be that he really hit his head? I know Your Majesty is a doctor. Is there any way to treat Your Highness's injury?"
Chen Fenghe said: "Young Master Jiang..."
