Lian Jingzhi's face remained expressionless. He said calmly, "Is it possible to detoxify?"
The imperial physician replied, "The princess's poisoning is not severe. This old minister has already performed acupuncture on her, and I believe she will wake up soon. After taking a few more doses of medicine over a few days, all the toxins will be expelled."
Upon hearing this, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. However, Lian Jingzhi spoke up again, "Chengqian, assist Physician Lin in finding these two items from the Princess."
Chengqian nodded and went to find it immediately.
Shen Ye, who had been standing silently to the side, looked rather unwell. He didn't know what Baiqiu Grass was, but this woody fragrance was the scent of the sachet he always carried with him!
He already had a plan in mind. You imposter who came from another time, you actually poisoned yourself to get rid of me, this obstacle. How ruthless!
A moment later, Physician Lin came out of the inner room with a small porcelain bottle, slowly poured out a pill, and said, "Your Highness, this pill is coated with a thin layer of Baiqiu grass powder, but the medicine that the Princess Consort takes for her old ailment does not contain Baiqiu grass."
Shen Ye's heart skipped a beat, as if something had fallen. He had fallen into a trap; this woman had outsmarted him!
Lian Jingzhi frowned slightly, remained silent for a moment, and then asked, "What about the sandalwood?"
"This old minister is incompetent; I was unable to find the incense in the Princess's room." After saying this, Imperial Physician Lin seemed to have discovered something extraordinary. He slowly sniffed around, following the scent he smelled, and stopped beside Shen Ye.
"He smells of wood!"
"What?" Lian Jingzhi couldn't believe it. How could this be?
Before Physician Lin could continue, Shen Ye spoke up first, "It is true that the sachet I am carrying contains incense, but I did not know that it would poison the Princess. I also did not know that the flavoring ingredients in the pills the Princess was taking would react with the incense in my sachet and produce toxins."
Shen Ye fearlessly met everyone's gaze. He slightly curled his lips and turned his gaze to Lian Jingzhi, his eyes seeming to say: Can you understand what I'm saying?
Han Yunqi lay on the bed with her eyes closed, a faint smile playing on her lips. Everyone thought she was still asleep, but in fact she had been awake for a long time. How could she miss such a good show?
As soon as Shen Ye finished speaking, Han Yunqi's maid Qiu Kui immediately stood up and said, "It must be you who wanted to harm my young lady. She has been taking this medicine since she was a child and there has never been anything wrong with it. But the medicine that you brought back from Derentang a few days ago caused the problem. You were afraid that people would find out that you poisoned her, so you devised a way to make the two medicines collide and cause poisoning."
Lian Jingzhi stared at Shen Ye, seemingly waiting for his explanation. Faced with Qiu Kui's explanation, Shen Ye really couldn't defend or clarify himself. He smiled disdainfully, "The 'medicine' pills were indeed retrieved from Derentang a few days ago, and the incense was indeed in my body, so I can't explain it."
"Yu Suicong, why did you do this?" Qiu Kui burst into tears instantly, kneeling on the ground and saying, "Miss has done nothing to you, why did you harm her!"
"Your Highness, please do justice for Miss! The poor girl almost died from this poison..." Qiu Kui's cries echoed in the room, making Shen Ye want to laugh.
Lian Jingzhi's expression as he looked at Shen Ye gradually became complicated, but he remained as calm as still water, as if all of this had nothing to do with him.
