The next day, Qingyou took the prince's pulse again.
"The poison in your body has been neutralized, but your body has suffered some damage during this period, so you need to use some mild tonics to replenish it."
The prince's face was still somewhat pale, but his spirits were not bad.
He smiled elegantly, "Then I'll trouble you to prescribe a remedy, Daoist Master."
Qingyou smiled and said, "I'll go open it right away."
She wrote down three prescriptions, instructing the prince to take one prescription every seven days. After finishing all three prescriptions, he was completely fine.
The crown prince instructed his trusted confidants to take the prescription.
He thought for a moment and said, "I would like to ask the Taoist priest for a favor."
Qingyou said, "Your Highness, please speak."
The Crown Prince said, "I would like to ask the Taoist priest to help me see if there are any harmful things still in the Eastern Palace."
Qingyou smiled and said, "No problem."
Then the chief eunuch beside the crown prince led Qingyou on a tour of the East Palace.
Believe it or not, we actually found quite a few problematic items.
For example, things that can affect a woman's ability to get pregnant, or even cause a miscarriage.
The chair and two calligraphy brushes in the prince's study were soaked in a drug that could induce hallucinations and drive people mad and irritable.
Spending so much time in the study, even if the Crown Prince doesn't fall ill with a high fever this time, he will be influenced by that chair in the future, turning from a humble person into a violent one.
Similar to taking an enhanced version of Five-Stone Powder, it is also a great scourge, very insidious.
After Qingyou found everything, the prince's smile was about to fade.
He never imagined that his Eastern Palace was practically riddled with holes, allowing so many problematic things to be brought in.
The key is that these things are completely impossible to defend against.
If it weren't for Master Qingfeng, he doesn't know how much longer he would have lived in this East Palace.
No wonder he's been feeling irritable lately, and he even gets angry over the smallest things, sometimes even having the urge to hit someone.
Previously, it could be forcibly suppressed, but if this continues, it will definitely get out of control one day.
Those who orchestrate these things to harm him are truly despicable!
The prince was now genuinely grateful to Master Qingfeng, and cupped his hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you so much, Master Qingfeng."
He added, "I did not expect there to be so many harmful things in the Eastern Palace. I am worried that there may be something bad in the Emperor and Empress's palace as well. Could you please take another look, Daoist Master?"
His request was exactly what Qingyou wanted.
"As long as His Majesty and the Empress agree, I have no problem."
When the Emperor and Empress learned that so many harmful things had been discovered in the Eastern Palace, they were both furious and terrified.
Who would have thought that chairs and calligraphy brushes could be poisoned and affect one's mood?
So I agreed to let Qingyou help me check.
Qingyou first went to the palace where the Queen lived and also found several things that were bad for her health.
They also discovered a fragrance in the Queen's rouge that inhibited fertility, disrupted endocrine balance, and caused premature aging.
The Empress was startled, and at the same time, she understood why she had been irritable, had trouble sleeping at night, and had grown a lot of gray hair recently.
It turns out someone poisoned the source of the problem.
When the emperor found out, his face turned extremely dark.
What is the purpose of someone placing such insidious things in the Empress's and Crown Prince's palaces?
They also wanted to know if there were any problems with his study and bedroom.
So Qingyou went to the emperor's study and bedroom.
They found nothing suspicious. The chief eunuch around the emperor had a very strict control over his food, clothing and daily necessities, so it was not easy for him to tamper with them.
Qingyou replied truthfully, "His Majesty's study and bedroom are fine."
Just as the emperor breathed a sigh of relief, Qingyou changed the subject, saying, "However, your complexion doesn't look quite right."
Then he looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.
The emperor was startled. "Taoist priest, please speak freely if you have any unspeakable difficulties. I will absolutely not blame you."
Qingyou then said, "Judging from Your Majesty's appearance, you should have been destined for longevity, but now there is a change. Your forehead is shrouded in a dark blue-green. If it weren't for the protection of the True Dragon Purple Qi, Your Majesty might already be in trouble."
The emperor was startled. "You mean someone has altered my destiny of longevity?"
Qingyou nodded, "That's right. Judging from Your Majesty's current appearance, you only have a little over two years left."
The emperor naturally understood what the Taoist priest meant by "more than two years".
He asked with some skepticism, "Is there a solution?"
Qingyou said, "This humble Taoist suspects that Your Majesty has a health problem, so I would like to take Your Majesty's pulse."
The emperor extended his hand, saying, "Please, Taoist priest, take a good look at me."
Qingyou nodded and took the emperor's pulse.
A moment later, she frowned and said, "Your Majesty, you have also been poisoned."
"Moreover, it is a colorless and odorless poison that is difficult to detect by normal pulse diagnosis."
"If you are exposed to this poison for a long time, you may suddenly collapse one day."
"It's like a sudden, inexplicable illness that can't be cured." "If that day comes, even I, this humble Taoist, will have no power to help."
She added, "You should now occasionally feel dizzy, have headaches, chest tightness, feel tired, and not sleep well at night."
The emperor looked extremely unwell; he had indeed been feeling unwell for the past two or three months.
The imperial physician examined him and said it was caused by overwork.
He said with a grim face, "There was actually someone who tried to poison me."
Can you tell what caused the poison?
His study and bedroom were fine; the poison must have been administered elsewhere.
Qingyou replied, "It should be something that goes in your mouth, such as food or tea."
"The damage to the human body is not visible in a short period of time; it will only manifest when it accumulates to a certain extent."
