Sima Xing shook his head and said with a wry smile, "These things are not that simple. If only they were! I look fine now, no different from an ordinary person, but the imperial physician also said that I don't have long to live."
"How could this happen?" Lu Qingyan looked at the person in front of her in disbelief. "Is there really no way to save you?"
Sima Xing smiled and said, "Even Shen Jiyan's master is helpless. Who else can save my life at this time?"
"Did you become like this because you were poisoned?" Lu Qingyan asked. The Qingxin Pill she mentioned earlier had the effect of detoxification. If he was still alive because of those three Qingxin Pills, then he really had to thank Shen Jiyan.
Thinking of this, Lu Qingyan chuckled and said, "Back then, Brother Jiyan couldn't find those three pills anywhere, and he had a big argument with his master. In the end, he remembered that he had given them away, so he went to apologize to his master. As a result, his master severely punished him by making him copy books for three months. In the end, I helped him copy four or five books, and that's how he passed the test sooner."
Sima Xing listened with great interest to Lu Qingyan's story about Shen Jiyan, and he was somewhat surprised that the young Shen Jiyan was so interesting.
"By the way, Sima Xing, how did you get the poison in your body?" Prince Xiao'an only has one son, and if something happens to him, the title will not fall to their own family.
The fact that Sima Xing could still have an accident under such circumstances is something that makes one think deeply.
Sima Xing smiled and recounted the events of that year in detail. However, it was another old, stale story, so there was nothing to hide: "I must say, I was quite the ladies' man when I was young. The wives and concubines in my household were almost as numerous as the imperial concubines in my uncle's palace. My mother was a beauty; as the principal wife, she was very favored when she first entered the palace. Perhaps it was because her beauty and status were so striking that others felt threatened, which led to that tragedy."
A concubine secretly poisoned my mother's food, but she didn't realize that my mother was already pregnant with me at that time, so most of the poison was transferred to me. At the original dosage, it would have killed someone without anyone noticing, but now the same poison is in both of our bodies, and my mother and I have both survived for the time being.
When I was born, my health was already poor; even the imperial physicians said I might not survive. At that time, although my father was quite a womanizer, he wasn't muddle-headed when it came to important matters. He was also quite old and had no children, so he was very happy after my birth. However, he hadn't expected my health to be so weak, and he couldn't believe it was an accident.
Ultimately, all the evidence pointed to that person. Although it was unclear what he had done, my father still punished him. But no matter how much he did, he couldn't bring back a healthy eldest son. Fortunately, he didn't abandon me; he kept me by his side and taught me. Thankfully, there were many imperial physicians in the palace, which allowed me to survive year after year.
“Those days must have been very tough!” Lu Qingyan sighed. “To accept such a cruel reality when you had just arrived in life and were still in a state of confusion, I think you are quite remarkable.”
Sima Xing sneered, "I wonder what kind of methods that woman used. The poison was so potent that the imperial physicians didn't notice anything unusual for a long time."
