Chapter 979: Beware of Poison
The man was full of sorrow and had a runny nose while drinking medicine from a bowl.
"Hey buddy, you must not drink this medicine! It's poisonous!" someone shouted.
Immediately, a scholar dressed in brocade clothes and a fox fur cloak on his shoulders put down the cakes in his hands and ran over quickly.
The candidate with a runny nose was startled.
His hand shook and the medicine in the bowl spilled out.
I have to say, this person shouted so loudly that many people looked over in shock.
Tang Bao's face darkened.
She knew this person; he was one of the candidates from the Su family.
"Brother, why do you say that?" the candidate with a runny nose asked in surprise.
The candidate from the Su family pointed at Tang Bao and said, "I'm afraid you don't know, my dear, that this little girl's brother is also taking the imperial examination this time. So, how could she be so kind as to come here and give her medicine? I'm afraid she added something else to the medicine."
The candidate from the Su family said this with a disdainful expression on his face.
Then, he continued, "In this way, anyone who drinks the medicine will feel unwell, which will affect the exam, making it easier for his brother to pass the exam."
As soon as this person finished speaking, someone immediately echoed him.
"That's right... You absolutely must not drink this medicine..."
"At such a young age, you have such a vicious mind..."
“…”
“Nonsense!”
With a "bang", Pomegranate threw down the spoon and was about to roll up his sleeves to beat the man.
"My young master is well-educated and a top scholar. He will definitely pass the imperial examination! My young lady would never resort to such despicable tactics!"
The candidate from the Su family had seen Shi Liu's ability to beat people, so when he saw that Shi Liu was going to beat someone, he was so scared that he shrank back and tried to slip away into the crowd.
Anyway, his goal was to arouse people's suspicion and prevent them from taking the medicine.
The more people get sick and it affects the exam, the better it is for him.
Although people who are sick will definitely go to see a doctor to get medicine later.
But how can the medical skills of those doctors compare to those of Dr. Hua’s apprentice?
Who knows, after taking this bowl of medicine, the sick person will get better.
"Want to leave?" Lin Enyi grabbed the man's collar and pulled him back.
"Let me go!" The candidate from the Su family was anxious and afraid, and shouted loudly: "I am a dignified candidate. If you dare to disrespect me, I..."
"What do you mean? Shut up!" Lin Enyi shouted angrily, "You slandered my young lady, and you still want to slip away? Dream on!"
After saying that, he dragged the Su family candidate in front of Tang Bao.
Tang Bao looked at the candidates from the Su family and sighed, "Sure enough, people with dirty minds like to use their dirty minds to guess at others."
As Tang Bao spoke, a half-smile appeared on her face.
Then he said, "I just don't know if you can bear the consequences."
After Tang Bao finished speaking, she looked outside the crowd.
"President Wang, Brother Wangchen, come here." Tang Bao said loudly.
"Make way...make way..."
Following the boy's angry voice, two people squeezed in from outside the crowd.
An old man with white beard and a teenage boy.
The old man was none other than Doctor Wang, who had followed Xuanyuan Jin back to the capital and was now serving as the director of the Imperial Medical Service.
Of course, the young man was Lin Wangchen, who had always followed Doctor Wang and learned medical skills.
As the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau, Doctor Wang naturally has some achievements to his credit.
Therefore, at this time, Doctor Wang was wearing the official uniform of the Imperial Medical Bureau.
These candidates who had just left the examination hall naturally recognized the official uniforms.
When the candidate from the Su family saw the official uniform on Doctor Wang, his expression changed.
"This is the chief physician of the Imperial Medical Bureau. Why don't we ask him to test whether my medicine is poisonous or not?" Tang Bao pointed at Doctor Wang and said.
Doctor Wang naturally would not refuse his junior sister.
What's more, he came here to support his junior sister.
Doctor Wang looked at the candidate from the Su family with sympathy, thinking that this person would definitely be in big trouble.
Then, he took the bowl of medicine handed to him by Shi Liu and smelled it.
He simply tilted his head back and gulped down the bowl of medicine.
Everyone: “…”
stunned.
How can I drink this test medicine directly?
If it's poisonous, then...
Bah! What kind of poison is that?!
The judge is not stupid!
Can I drink it if it's poisonous?!
Doctor Wang put down the medicine bowl and clicked his tongue.
Although the medicine is a bit bitter, the medicine prepared by the junior sister is more refined.
Doctor Wang wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and looked at the candidates around him.
"This medicine is incredibly well-prepared. Drinking it can enhance resistance to colds and prevent infection."
"Even if you are in poor health and unfortunately catch a cold, the symptoms will be alleviated and easier to cure."
"As for those who have already caught a cold, take this medicine on time, get enough rest, and keep warm, and you will recover quickly."
"This medicine is very expensive. You are lucky to have come across it!"
Doctor Wang praised the medicine prescribed by Tang Bao as if he was doing an advertisement.
Tang Bao looked at Doctor Wang and wanted to say, "Senior Brother, if you do this, it will be easy for people to misunderstand you as a shill."
As expected, as soon as Doctor Wang finished speaking, one of the candidates started shouting, "Look, you're asking for death!"
"Could this judge be a relative of this young lady? He's praising this medicine to such a high standard, as if he's worried the students won't be able to take it. It's quite strange."
"That's right, anything out of the ordinary must be a demon!"
"Anyway, Duan will definitely not drink this medicine..."
"Zhang won't drink either..."
“…”
These candidates who spoke all had righteous expressions and were passionate.
But the light in his eyes kept flickering.
Doctor Wang looked at these people who were always courting death, shook his head and said, "If you don't want to drink, no one will force you to drink. I just hope you won't regret it."
After all, if you miss this opportunity, you will miss it forever.
Junior Sister came here with good intentions to administer medicine, but these people not only did not show gratitude, but instead slandered her. They will definitely get retribution.
Doctor Wang is so confident.
"What a joke! How could Duan regret it?"
"Zhang will definitely not regret it..."
“…”
Anyway, none of them caught a cold.
Lin Wangchen was so angry that his face was gloomy. He memorized the appearance of the person who spoke with a cold look.
If these people and their families get sick in the future, don't expect him and his master to treat them.
Lin Wangchen directly put these people on the blacklist.
Tang Bao's eyes swept over these people one by one.
Finally, it fell on the Su family candidate who was held by Lin Enyi's neck and never let go.
"I, the princess, naturally know what you are planning." Tang Bao said slowly, "It's just that you know that the medicine I prepared is effective and works quickly."
"Those candidates who are worried about catching a cold will recover quickly after drinking this medicine and will not be affected during the next two exams."
"At the same time, you want as many people as possible to get sick and have as many exams affected as possible."
"This way, you'll have fewer competitors. It's like choosing a general from among the short ones. Maybe you'll make the list..."
Tang Bao was calm and clear in her words, expressing the most shameful thoughts in the heart of the Su family candidate.
