Chapter 23: Hiding the Fame

Si Linglong's sudden words successfully stopped Doctor Yu from writing. Fu Tai also looked in Si Linglong's direction with a suspicious expression.

Si Linglong actually didn't understand what these ancient poisons were all about, but when she heard Doctor Yu mention "Seven Day Begonia" just now, her mind inexplicably remembered the "Seven Days of Blood Dryness" that Helian Yue had said in her ear before he fell into a coma.

The two names were so similar that she couldn't help but associate them together. To be on the safe side, she asked this question.

However, when Doctor Yu heard about the blood loss in seven days, he seemed to have thought of something. Then his face changed, and he hurried back to the bedside. He took Helian Yue's hand and felt his pulse carefully. He checked the wound again and again. After a long while, his face turned pale, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he was still muttering,

"It's Seven Days of Blood Dryness, not Seven Days of Begonia..."

If Si Linglong hadn't mentioned it, I'm afraid he would have died today to atone for his sins!

Fortunately, fortunately.

I almost made a big mistake today.

Thinking of this, Doctor Yu broke out in a cold sweat. He picked up the prescription for medicinal materials he had just written, crumpled it into a ball, and then picked up the pen to write a new prescription.

"Boil it into a bowl over high heat, go quickly." Doctor Yu ordered the medical officer beside him to boil the medicine, and then took out several herbs from the medicine box, mixed them and ground them into powder. It seemed that he was planning to apply medicine to Helian Yue again.

Fu Tai couldn't help but frown and said in a deep voice, "Doctor Li Yu, the emperor's body is worth a million dollars, and there can be no room for any mistakes."

Doctor Li Yu was sweating profusely, but his face was resolute, "Thanks to your reminder, I will not be wrong."

Seeing this, Si Linglong stepped forward to help, removed the bandage on Helian Yue's hand, and casually washed off the hemostatic powder that was originally applied on the wound.

Doctor Li Yu looked at Si Linglong's skilled gestures and was slightly surprised, but said nothing.

The two of them worked together to quickly re-bandage the wound on Helian Yue's hand. Seeing that the bleeding had finally stopped after the re-bandage, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Doctor Li Yu then turned to Si Linglong and bowed solemnly to her. Although Dayuan respected men, women's status was not low. Doctor Li Yu was not the kind of person who would be ashamed or angry because of being corrected by a woman, not to mention that the one who corrected him was a noble master in the palace.

"I wonder how you can tell that the emperor was poisoned by Seven Days Blood Dryness?" Doctor Li Yu asked respectfully with a tone of inquiry. "Seven Days Blood Dryness is commonly used by people in the martial arts world. It is a poison a hundred times more vicious than Seven Days Begonia. Although the symptoms of the two are similar, the antidote is one yin and one yang."

In other words, if he had used the wrong medicine just now, the emperor's condition would have been made worse.

When Fu Tai saw Doctor Li Yu asking a question, his gaze also turned to Si Linglong.

"This was actually told to me by the emperor before he fell into a coma." Si Linglong told the truth. After all, it involved the assassination of the emperor, and if she had any secrets she might be suspected of doing something fishy.

"At first I didn't know what it was until I heard Dr. Li Yu mention the Seven-Day Begonia, and then I thought it might be this."

Fu Tai was a little surprised, "How did the emperor know?"

His emperor doesn't know any medicine.

Si Linglong said solemnly, "I think it is possible that the emperor guessed the identity of the assassin at the banquet, and also guessed what kind of poison the other party would use. Since he said that this is a common poison in the martial arts world, it means..."

"The assassin was sent by a gangster!" Fu Tai continued following Si Linglong's words. Seeing Si Linglong nod seriously in approval, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Great! We've finally found a way out. We'll send someone to investigate!"

Fu Tai looked like he was ready to do something big, and all he had to do was roll up his sleeves and go out.

Before leaving, he did not forget to give Si Linglong an admiring look. That look seemed more like he was looking at an auspicious sign than a concubine.

Under Futai's gaze, Si Linglong restrained her expression and smiled slightly.

Hiding one's merits and fame.
