Meanwhile, Qingyou was also trying to figure out how to let the emperor know that he had been poisoned.
The key is to treat and regulate the emperor's health, so we can't secretly send messages or antidotes, which is a bit troublesome.
Ten days later, Qingyou heard that the Crown Prince had fallen seriously ill and was bedridden, and that his condition was quite serious.
She was somewhat surprised. In the original owner's memories, the crown prince fell off his horse and became crippled during a hunt a year later, which is why he was no longer able to inherit the throne.
The emperor even fell ill from worry because of this.
It seems the Fourth Prince can't wait any longer.
The timing of the Crown Prince's illness was very opportune, and Qingyou felt it was an opportunity.
After thinking it over, she decided to do it herself.
After arriving in this world, since the power of the small world did not restrict her, she was able to open and use the space.
She had previously stored a bunch of disguises in her space, and now they could finally come in handy.
So she used a scarecrow to lie in the Duke's mansion and recuperate, while her real body went to the outskirts of the city.
Then he used a disposable hair dye to whiten his hair, disguised himself as a Taoist priest with an air of otherworldly wisdom, and entered the capital city.
While Huo Jiwen was reflecting on his mistakes, Qingyou also made a name for herself in the capital with her superb medical skills.
As long as she takes action, everyone who has sought her medical help is cured.
Qingyou even came to the Duke's mansion in person to treat the fake "her" once.
The Crown Prince's condition has been deteriorating recently. The imperial physicians and renowned doctors in the capital have all taken turns examining him, but none of them have been able to do anything about it.
So Qingyou went to the palace and took the initiative to recommend to the emperor that she, disguised as a Taoist priest, treat the crown prince.
The emperor trusted his sister, and the crown prince was his favored heir. Naturally, he did not want the crown prince to die of illness, so he sent someone to invite Qingyou, disguised as a Taoist priest, into the palace.
Qingyou had been waiting for this opportunity, and without any hesitation, she followed him into the palace.
The person looking for her took her directly to the East Palace where the Crown Prince lived.
When Qingyou arrived, both the emperor and empress were present.
She bowed to the two men and introduced herself as Master Qingfeng.
Seeing the Taoist priest's otherworldly demeanor, the emperor became more inclined to believe the rumors.
He didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "I've heard that you are a skilled physician, so I specially sent someone to invite you to the palace to treat the Crown Prince. What do you say?"
Qingyou smiled and replied, "This humble Taoist will do her utmost to treat the Crown Prince's illness."
The emperor said with satisfaction, "Then go and see the crown prince."
Qingyou nodded and walked to the bedside. She found that the young man on the bed was pale and had fallen into a coma.
She took the prince's pulse and then lifted his eyelids to look at him.
In the original owner's memory, the Crown Prince was handsome and modest, and quite capable in court. He also respected his aunt, the original owner.
Therefore, among all the princes, the original owner had the best impression of the crown prince.
The Fourth Prince is Shi Lingqiao's trump card, and Qingyou wants to cut off his supply.
She had already decided to save the Crown Prince, so naturally she wouldn't let anything happen to him now.
After examining the Crown Prince, she said to the Emperor, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is not ill, but poisoned."
"It's just because it's caused by things that are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining, so most doctors can't tell the difference."
Shi Ling obtained a rare and powerful item from a medical and toxicology lineage. It was something that didn't exist outside of the medical field and was impossible for ordinary imperial physicians and doctors to detect.
The Crown Prince's illness appears to be a recurring high fever caused by wind-cold. The fever subsides only briefly before it recurs, and over time his health will collapse.
When the Crown Prince dies, no one will suspect who did it, since birth, aging, sickness and death are normal. They will only lament the Crown Prince's bad luck and regret.
The emperor and empress's expressions changed upon hearing Qingyou's words.
The Crown Prince was the Empress's only son, and the two had a very close relationship, so the Empress was the one who cared most about the Crown Prince's life.
She couldn't help but look at Qingyou anxiously and ask, "What kind of poison has he been poisoned with?"
Qingyou replied, "Judging from the Crown Prince's pulse, it seems to be caused by incense and some kind of spice. We need to find out for confirmation."
The Empress said, "Then I'll trouble you, Taoist priest, to look for it now."
Qingyou looked at the emperor and saw him nod at her before she got up to go find him.
Soon, she found an incense burner in a corner, which looked like it wasn't used much.
She opened the lid and saw a pile of burnt ash inside. She bent down and smelled it.
Then he took the incense burner to the table in the middle and poured out all the ashes.
Several rice-grain-sized gray crystals were found inside.
After searching around again, I found several problematic nightgowns in the closet.
"These gray things will emit a smell on their own without being lit. If used alone, they will not only be harmless, but can also refresh the mind."
"The scented incense on these few nightgowns is fine even if you look at them individually."
"But if the two are kept in the same room, a toxin will be produced, causing a persistent high fever. Over time, the body will collapse, and naturally..."
She didn't say it explicitly, but everyone present was a smart person.
The Empress asked worriedly, "Can the poison in the Crown Prince's body be cured?"
She will naturally ask the emperor to investigate who harmed her son, but her son's health is more important right now.
Qingyou nodded, "Although the toxins in the Crown Prince's body are quite deep, once the antidote is prepared and taken, his high fever will subside today and will not recur."
"Once the fever subsides, and with some gentle tonics, the prince's health will recover."
The emperor investigated and found that this Taoist priest Qingfeng had indeed cured several difficult and complicated diseases in the capital.
My son is lying here half-dead, and according to the imperial physician, if his high fever continues, it will be dangerous.
