Chapter 303 Dog shit diluted with water to induce vomiting
“Your Majesty, some folk remedies do have some merit,” Jiang Wanning said.
Yu Hai immediately realized something and chimed in, "That's right."
"What method?" Empress Song Zhuyi asked anxiously.
“If someone accidentally ingests something, people will mix dog feces with water and make them drink it to induce vomiting.”
“Although this method is a bit disgusting, it can save lives. I’m sure Consort Song wouldn’t want anything to happen to Your Majesty the Empress, so this method…” Jiang Wan Ning looked at Song Zhu Ran.
Song Zhuran's face turned green with anger.
The Empress looked at Jiang Wan Ning with a questioning look in her eyes. Seeing Jiang Wan Ning's serious expression, Empress Song Zhu Yi said to the palace maid beside her, "Go and prepare what the Princess Consort of Langya mentioned."
"Sister!" Song Zhuran cried out, "I...I...If I eat these things and others find out, how can I face anyone?"
"Living is more important than anything else. Besides, don't worry, I will keep this matter a secret. Anyone who spreads it will have to watch their tongue."
"Hurry up and go!" the Empress urged the maid beside her.
Song Zhuran glared at Physician Han.
Imperial Physician Han immediately stopped him, saying, "Your Majesty, I suddenly remembered something."
“My family has a long tradition of medicine, and we have a family heirloom called an antidote pill. This medicine can cure all poisons in the world.”
"Your humble servant is willing to offer it up to save Consort Song's life."
"Doctor Han really has a terrible memory. He can even forget something so precious. Perhaps he didn't want to bring it out at first," Jiang Wan Ning said calmly.
Physician Han immediately explained, "Your Majesty, I was indeed too nervous just now and didn't think of it for a moment."
"Your Majesty, I will immediately send someone to fetch it. It will arrive in no more than half an hour at the fastest speed, and it will not delay Consort Song."
Jiang Wan Ning chuckled, "Then I'll have to trouble Physician Han."
"Consort Song's life is now in your hands."
Physician Han wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Your Majesty, I will go immediately."
"Wait a minute," Jiang Wanning said. "Before you go out, it would be best to have someone search you first."
Imperial Physician Han was taken aback. "Princess Langya, what do you mean by that? Are you doubting me?"
"I've already said that everyone in this Bright Moon Palace is a suspect, and anyone who wants to leave must be thoroughly checked."
Imperial Physician Han said unhappily, "Princess Langya, I am, after all, an official of the imperial court, how could I..."
"What if I agree?" Empress Song Zhuyi interrupted Imperial Physician Han and said calmly.
Imperial Physician Han was taken aback for a moment, "Your Majesty, this humble subject..."
"Should I go and summon the Emperor? If the Emperor finds out about this, the person who poisoned him will face far more serious consequences than just the death penalty."
"This matter is not so easy to resolve."
Now that things had come to this point, Song Zhuran naturally didn't want the Emperor to know, because the poison was indeed in Physician Han's body.
"Doctor Han, please let them search. That way, my elder sister and Sister Jiang can rest assured."
Imperial Physician Han clenched his hands tightly for a while before opening his arms. "Since Princess Langya wants to search, then let her search."
"There is one thing, if we cannot find out, I hope Princess Langya can give me an explanation."
"I will have the Prince give you an explanation. You can have whatever explanation you want then." Jiang Wan Ning's lips curled up slightly.
"But if it is proven that Yu Hai was framed innocently, and the Princess of Xixia demands an explanation and account, Physician Han, have you thought carefully about who His Majesty will implicate?"
Physician Han stood there stunned, then turned to look at Song Zhuran. Song Zhuran coughed twice and said, "Physician Han, please cooperate with my elder sister and Sister Jiang."
What are you looking at me for?
"Although I am willing to plead for you, I cannot break the rules, can I?"
Physician Han understood the meaning behind Song Zhuran's words, and a chill ran through him. Following such a master would not end well, but he had no other choice.
In this situation, the only option is to save yourself and not involve Song Zhuran.
Imperial Physician Han looked up abruptly. “Your Majesty, I suddenly remembered that I have this family heirloom medicine with me.”
“My wife said she was afraid I might suddenly encounter some misfortune, and having this medicine on me is like having an extra life.”
"But I didn't pay much attention to it, and over time I forgot about it." As he spoke, Physician Han took off his personal purse and pulled out a small square box about the size of a thumb.
Take out a pill the size of a soybean from the small square box.
"Your Majesty, please have Consort Song take the medicine first," said Physician Han.
His original plan was to take the opportunity to go out and dispose of the poison he had hidden on his body, but Jiang Wan Ning discovered it, so he had no choice but to take out the medicine he had prepared in advance.
They had already prepared the antidote before poisoning the victim, and one of the antidote pills was in Song Zhuran's possession.
This pill is indeed a family heirloom, and it's the only medicine we can take out right now.
Physician Han also felt a pang of heartache.
"Ningning, should we get it tested?"
“I think it’s unnecessary. Unless Physician Han has a death wish, and besides, Consort Song is his mentor, I believe Physician Han wouldn’t do that,” Jiang Wan Ning said.
The Empress naturally knew that Physician Han would not poison Song Zhuran; she merely asked Jiang Wanning about it as a formality.
"Consort Song, what do you think?"
Empress Song Zhuyi's question is, do you believe Physician Han or Jiang Wanning?
If Jiang Wan Ning were to test it, she might very well turn the antidote into poison during that time and then frame Physician Han.
That way, we can kill two birds with one stone.
Song Zhuran coughed twice, clutching her chest. "Ranran will naturally listen to her elder sister and Sister Jiang."
"In that case, let's administer the antidote first," said Empress Song Zhuyi. "Once Consort Song is fully recovered, we can then investigate the true culprit behind the poisoning."
Physician Han carefully handed the medicine pills in his hand to Song Zhuran.
Song Zhuran swallowed the medicine with water. After an incense stick's time, Jiang Wanning stepped forward to take her pulse and then said, "Your Majesty, Consort Song's poison has been neutralized."
The Empress breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good then."
If Song Zhuran were truly so heartless as to let herself be poisoned for a little longer, she would definitely use this to do many things that would be detrimental to her.
For the first time, Empress Song Zhuyi realized how terrifying her innocent and harmless younger sister was. As the head of the harem, she had witnessed all sorts of ruthless tactics.
But no one could compare to her own sister.
Empress Song Zhuyi slowly walked to Song Zhuran's bedside and quietly stared at her. "Why?"
Why do this?
"Sister, what's wrong? What did you say?" Song Zhuran asked in a panic. "Ranran doesn't know what you're talking about!"
"Sister, don't scare Ranran."
