Chapter 2598: Overbearing Medicinal Properties
Nan Yan said: "This is——"
Xue Yun lowered his voice and said softly, "Your Majesty, this is the elixir I made for the emperor to detoxify."
“……!”
Nan Yan's breath suddenly stopped.
She reached out to take it, and as soon as she opened the box, she could smell a strong medicinal scent that went straight into her nose, which showed how heavy the medicine inside was.
She closed the lid, held the box in her hand, and looked up at Xue Yun again.
Xue Yun just kept his head down.
When Nan Yan spoke, although she tried her best to calm herself, her tone had already involuntarily become heavier, and she said in a deep voice: "Doctor Xue, didn't you say that the medicine you made was stolen?"
"……yes."
"So, what's going on?"
“…”
Xue Yun was silent for a long time before he said softly, "Your humble servant, I have prepared two pills just in case."
“…”
"The thief only stole one of them."
“…”
"Although the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine attach great importance to this matter and have asked Lord Chen to question me about the events leading up to and after the theft, I still think it will not be easy to recover the medicine."
“…”
"Therefore, I offer this spare medicine to you."
"A spare..."
Nan Yan repeated these words slowly and felt Xue Yun's eyes flickering. She didn't say much, just looked at the medicine box in her hand.
After a while, she chuckled and said, "No wonder I smelled such a strong smell of medicine when I went to Master Xue's room before."
“…”
"Actually, it's because of refining this medicine."
Xue Yun's head was almost buried in his chest.
He whispered, "Yes."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "If that's the case, why didn't Master Xue tell you earlier? If you had told me earlier, the Emperor and I wouldn't have to be so anxious."
Xue Yun said, "It's my fault."
“…”
"The incident happened suddenly, and I was too panicked, so - so I forgot."
"I forgot..."
Hearing these two words, Nan Yan felt angry and a little amused.
Recalling the past, because Zhu Feng secretly asked Ye Zheng to give her a red coral bead bracelet, she was misunderstood as having stolen Xia Yunting's things. After many twists and turns, she finally clarified the truth. When Xu Miaoyin asked her why she didn't tell everyone from the beginning that the bracelet was given to her by Ye Zheng, she answered in the same way.
Forgot.
Looking at Xue Yun again, recalling Xu Miaoyin's attitude towards her back then, she probably understood that feeling.
Fortunately, Xu Miaoyin was able to endure it.
Empress Renxiao is so kind and benevolent, how can I be too harsh on her?
So, Nan Yan said with a half-smile: "Since that's the case, then, fine."
As she spoke, she opened the box again and took a look. It was said that the smell of medicine had dissipated a little when it was just opened, but when she opened the box again, the smell of medicine was still very strong.
Nan Yan sniffed subconsciously
Then he asked, "However, there is still one thing I don't understand."
Xue Yun whispered, "Your Majesty, please speak."
Nan Yan said, "Since this medicine was made for the Emperor, it's only right for you to give it to both him and me. Why does it seem to me that you want to keep it from the Emperor?"
Xue Yun lowered his head, but did not deny it.
Nan Yan looked at her and said, "Are you really going to hide this from the Emperor?"
“…”
"But you made this medicine for the emperor. Now that you've offered it to him, is there any need to hide it?"
Xue Yun said softly, "I dare not make the decision on this matter. I need to ask the Imperial Concubine to make the final decision. After all, the Imperial Concubine is the closest person to the Emperor and the person who is least likely to harm the Emperor."
"harm?"
Nan Yan frowned when she heard this.
He immediately looked at the almost black pill in the box.
He said in a deep voice, "Isn't this medicine made to detoxify the emperor and restore his memory? How can it be harmful?"
Xue Yun said, "The pharmacology is too complicated, so I won't go into details for now. I only have one thing to report to Your Majesty: this medicine is designed to help people with amnesia regain their memory and open up their acupoints when they are unable to encounter the people and events in their memories or re-experience past scenes. The medicinal power is extremely powerful."
“…”
“It may have some impact on people.”
"oh?"
Nan Yan looked down again.
Even without Xue Yun saying anything, she could guess that the medicinal smell was so strong that it must be very powerful.
“What impact?” she asked.
"No one has tried the drug yet, but I suspect it might change a person's blood..."
"What?"
When Nan Yan heard this, her brows immediately furrowed.
Change blood?
She immediately said, "You won't tell me that after taking this medicine, my blood will be poisoned."
"No, of course it's not poisonous,"
Xue Yun hurriedly said, "The medicine I refined is non-toxic."
“…”
"It's because the medicine is so strong that it might remain in the blood."
“…”
"If a woman takes the drug, it might take a long time, over a decade or even decades, for the drug's effects to gradually wear off. But a man's blood doesn't turn over as frequently as a woman's throughout his life, so the drug's effects are difficult to wear off."
“…”
"Not only that, but it may also be passed on to future generations."
Nan Yan blinked and it took her a while to understand.
She couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Xue Yun said, "Although it seems that the medicinal properties themselves will not have much impact on the body, the emperor is, after all, a noble dragon, and I dare not make a decision at will."
“…”
"Therefore, I can only leave it to Your Majesty."
When Nan Yan looked at the pill in her hand again, she couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "You, you have given me a difficult problem."
Xue Yun lowered his head and said, "It is my incompetence."
“…”
"However, as for the final step in detoxification, I can no longer think of any other solution."
“…”
Nan Yan was silent for a long moment, then she closed the box again and walked over to the table, carefully placing it in a cabinet. She then turned back to look at Xue Yun and said, "The war is about to break out in White Tiger City, and the Emperor is focusing all his energy on it. I won't bother him with this matter for the time being."
“…”
"Delaying it for a while won't affect the final detoxification effect, right?"
Xue Yun said: "Of course not."
Hearing this, Nan Yan smiled again and looked at her and said, "Then you really are...why did you give it to me at this time?"
After hearing this, Xue Yun's face turned pale again.
But he didn't answer, just lowered his head.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "I was just joking with you, please don't mind it, Master Xue."
"What are you talking about, Madam?"
"That's fine. I know about this matter. Once the war is over, I will make the decision myself."
"Then, I will take my leave."
After saying that, she stood up, bowed to Nan Yan, and was about to leave the room.
Just as she reached the door, Nan Yan suddenly stopped her and said with a smile, "The war is about to start, and there's unrest all around. Doctor Xue, please don't wander around these days."
