Chapter 167



Xiao Junzhan looked at Luzhu and Lulan in the corner and said in a deep voice, "After I left last night, what did your girl say and do? Tell me every word."

The two maids looked at each other. Lu Lan was more stable. Although she was almost frightened by Xiao Junzhan before, she calmed down at this moment, walked to the front, bowed and replied: "Reporting to Your Highness, as soon as you left last night, the girl went into the bathroom. The girl didn't like to ask for help when taking a bath, so she was the only one in there. After she came out..."

She paused slightly and looked at several imperial doctors, as if she was thinking of something and was unwilling to speak.

Xiao Junzhan raised his eyes and looked over, saying calmly, "That's it."

Wei Hanzhang knew what happened after she came out. She wanted to stop Lulan from continuing, but she saw that Xiao Junzhan was determined to make the "symptoms" clear to the imperial doctors, so she decided to just go for it.

Lu Lan waited for a few seconds, but did not hear her daughter speak, so she could only continue, "After coming out, I saw the daughter's neck..."

She tried to quickly skip this part in a low voice, but Xiao Junzhan raised his eyebrows and asked, "What was Ranran's reaction when he found out about this? Was he angry?"

Lu Lan said: "…the young lady was extremely embarrassed and annoyed, but she was not angry with you. She even told me to go to the Madam early in the morning and tell her that she would not go there today and that she wanted to go to Chengming Palace."

Thinking about the girl's joy when she mentioned His Royal Highness the Crown Prince last night, and comparing it with his current attitude, Luzhu and Lulan, the personal maids, also realized how wrong this was.

...Could it be that their girl was really poisoned? Hearing this, Xiao Junzhan tilted his head and looked at the girl beside him. She had just lied to him, and she was not angry at the traces he left behind.

Noticing that she was a little nervous, he habitually wanted to comfort her, but as soon as he raised his hand, it stopped again, and in the end he just smiled to comfort her.

He looked at Lu Lan and motioned for her to continue.

There was nothing wrong with what happened next. Lulan spoke clearly and quickly described the changes in her daughter after she woke up this morning.

Hearing that Wei Hanzhang had decided to come to Chengming Palace today before going to bed last night, but changed his mind after waking up without any twists and turns, several imperial doctors frowned and talked in low voices.

"My dear ministers," Xiao Junzhan thought for a few breaths and asked, "You have been practicing medicine for your whole lives and have read a lot of medical books. You must have seen a lot of difficult and complicated diseases. Have you ever heard of a drug that made a couple who were in harmony with each other the day before become disgusted and resistant overnight, and even unwilling to get close to each other?"

He looked calm, and patted the back of the girl's hand. He watched her reflexively pull her hand back, and said, "You were able to talk to me normally yesterday, but today you are not only mentally resistant to me, but you are also disgusted by my physical contact. It's too weird."

Ning Hai, who was standing behind him, gasped because of shock and couldn't control his breathing.

I finally understand what happened tonight.

As a personal eunuch, Ning Hai knew best how close the prince and Miss Wei had been during this period.

...Now you even hate holding hands? This is really too bizarre.

How dare the person who poisoned someone use such a poison that anyone could tell the problem at a glance?

Several imperial doctors looked at each other, discussed for a while, and asked Wei Hanzhang a few questions. They were really helpless and could only take Wei Hanzhang's pulse again.

As His Royal Highness's gaze grew colder, his expression gradually became more distressed.

Finally, it was the Imperial Physician Wang who bowed and said, "Your Highness, please allow me to report that Miss Wei is indeed in good health and does not seem to have been poisoned."

"Nothing serious?" Xiao Junzhan's face turned cold. "You want to tell me that these changes in her are normal?"

"No..." The four old imperial doctors bowed hurriedly and said, "It's because I'm not good enough in my training."

She took the initiative to pull Xiao Junzhan's sleeve and whispered, "I don't think I'm sick either. You insist on making them say I'm sick. Isn't this embarrassing?"

Xiao Junzhan had never been willing to reject her initiative to get close to him, and now seeing her transformation, he felt it was even more precious and held her hand with his backhand, and kissed it lightly on his lips in front of everyone, staring straight at her cheek.

He watched the strong disgust rising on her face, and without even looking, he could tell that goose bumps must have appeared all over her arms.

…He swallowed a little, clenched his hands tightly, and refused to loosen them. He smiled and said, “Since you are not sick, then Ran Ran will return to his previous appearance.”

"Can you please let go first?" The back of the hand being kissed felt like it was being gnawed by thousands of ants, and it was extremely uncomfortable. Wei Hanzhang's face changed in anxiety, "I have never learned how to change my face, how can I change into whatever I want?"

She struggled very hard, but Xiao Junzhan let go of her hand for fear of hurting her again. He lowered his eyes to look at her for a few breaths, and sighed softly: "Ran Ran, don't you feel sick yet?"

Wei Hanzhang's heart was slightly moved. He looked at his red hands and was unable to refute for a moment.

As the two of them made such a commotion, everyone in the hall lowered their heads and looked at their noses and hearts, not daring to look up.

However, even if they only heard the conversation, it was enough for them to understand the situation their Highness was in in front of the future Crown Princess.

...I just find it unbelievable.

He also thought to himself that it was no wonder that such a big commotion occurred overnight.

In the silence, an imperial physician suddenly said, "I have some impression of Miss Wei's symptoms. I seem to have seen them in some medical book."

Various difficult and complicated diseases are spread along with strange stories, but doctors have no end in learning and love to hunt for novelty.

Especially those doctors who have reached the pinnacle of this era.

Hearing this, Xiao Junzhan's expression slightly changed, and he asked, "Wei Qing, do you still remember which book it was written in, and what disease it was?"

Imperial Physician Wei was quite old and had read a lot of books throughout his life. Perhaps the story recorded in the book was too bizarre, and he still had an impression of the notes he had read many years ago.

Facing the Crown Prince's burning gaze and the vague hopes of several colleagues, he felt a lot of pressure and said carefully, "Miss Wei may not be ill, but most likely has been poisoned."

Poisoned?

When these words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked and Xiao Junzhan's face suddenly changed.

Wei Hanzhang had never thought that there was actually poison in this world...

Only the other three imperial doctors looked thoughtful, and it was obvious that they remembered something after being reminded.

Without waiting for the Crown Prince to ask, Imperial Physician Wei said with a look of reminiscence on his face, "I vaguely remember that when I first entered the Imperial Hospital several decades ago, the Miaojiang Gu Masters were causing great trouble. While the late Emperor openly sent troops to suppress them, he secretly ordered the Imperial Hospital to work with the Secret Guards to draft a book called "Gu Shu", which specifically recorded the cruelty of various Miaojiang Gu poisons discovered by the Secret Guards."
