Jiang Feng's head felt like it was going to explode the moment he saw Jiang Li. Suddenly he put his hands on his head and started banging it hard. This action scared everyone in the hall.
"My Lord, my Lord, what's wrong with you?"
The envoy beside Jiang Feng quickly grabbed his arm to stop his action. Upon seeing this, the other envoys from Dongli Kingdom stood up from their seats.
"Quickly call the imperial physician!"
Song Chengyin waved his hand and the guards hurried to call the imperial physician over.
Jiang Feng became excited instantly, and with such brute force, it took four or five envoys to step forward and stop his actions.
Jiang Feng was arranged by Eunuch Su to go to a side hall, and the imperial physician soon arrived. At this time, the emotionally agitated Jiang Feng had been pressed down on the bed by several people. His face was red and his neck was thick due to excessive force, and he kept struggling to break free from the restraints.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you, and to Her Majesty the Queen."
Doctor Wang bowed to Song Chengyin and Jiang Li, and Song Chengyin waved his sleeves and said, "Go and see Marquis Xuanping."
"yes!"
Doctor Wang hurriedly came to the bed with a medicine box and grabbed Jiang Feng's wrist with great effort.
"Let me go! Let me go!"
Jiang Feng struggled with a furious look on his face, but Doctor Wang couldn't feel his pulse at all.
Song Chengyin pursed his lips and said in a deep voice: "Knock him out first."
The two countries have just signed a peace agreement. If something happens to Xuanping Hou of Dongli State in Beiyue, this agreement will probably be invalidated.
The envoys who held Jiang Feng looked at each other, and finally made up their minds and raised their hands to chop Jiang Feng on the back of the neck.
Jiang Feng, who had been struggling non-stop, finally calmed down, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
While Jiang Feng was unconscious, Doctor Wang quickly took his pulse and frowned immediately after finding out his physical condition.
The Dongli Kingdom's envoys gasped when they saw this: "Imperial Physician, how is the Marquis?"
"He was very anxious and his pulse was very unstable. Besides that, he seemed to have some signs of poisoning."
Doctor Wang said as he took Jiang Feng's pulse.
"Poisoned?"
Several envoys stared with wide eyes and said in unison, "But the Marquis has not eaten anything since he came to Beiyue Imperial City, how could he be poisoned?"
The envoys were naturally not stupid enough to suspect that it was Song Chengyin who poisoned their Lord. Even if Emperor Yue wanted to get rid of the Lord first, he would never do it on Beiyue's territory!
Doctor Wang looked solemn as he continued to examine Jiang Feng's body. He knew what the envoys were thinking, so he explained, "It seems that the poison in Marquis Xuanping's body has been lingering in his body for some time."
"Is this true, Imperial Physician?"
One of the envoys could not help but ask, if the Marquis had been poisoned a long time ago, how come he had not been discovered before?
Doctor Wang nodded confidently. The envoy asked again, "Does the doctor know what poison the Marquis was poisoned with?"
After learning that Jiang Feng was poisoned, Song Chengyin and Jiang Li looked at each other and took two steps towards the bed.
After taking Jiang Feng's pulse, Doctor Wang lifted his eyelids, then pried open his mouth and murmured to himself, "Strange, I clearly sensed that there was poison in his body, but why do all his organs seem to be in unhealthy condition?"
"Could it be that the imperial physician just diagnosed the pulse incorrectly?"
"What a joke! I have been on duty in the Imperial Hospital for many years and have never made a mistake in taking pulses!"
Doctor Wang was a stubborn old man with a bad temper. When he heard that the envoy actually doubted his medical skills, he had long forgotten the old saying that visitors are guests.
"Is there any way to verify whether he was poisoned?"
Song Seung-in on the side spoke up and broke the deadlock.
Doctor Wang suppressed the anger on his face, bowed respectfully to Song Chengyin and said, "Your Majesty, we can only take blood to find out the truth."
Song Chengyin nodded slightly: "Take the blood."
The other envoys did not object when they heard this. They also wanted to know whether the Marquis had been poisoned. If the Marquis had been poisoned long ago, why had it never been discovered after so many years?
In everyone's impression, Marquis Xuanping had never asked for a royal physician for poisoning, nor had he ever suffered an attack of poison. At this time, they had already determined that the stubborn old doctor Wang had misdiagnosed the patient's pulse.
After getting the emperor's approval, Doctor Wang bent down, opened the medicine box, and took out the silver needle inside.
Although he said he wanted to draw blood, Doctor Wang did not directly pierce Jiang Feng's finger with the silver needle. Instead, he inserted the silver needle into the acupuncture point on the top of his head.
Under the gaze of everyone, more than a dozen silver needles were pierced into Jiang Feng's head. Jiang Feng, who was knocked unconscious, suddenly frowned, and the big hand hanging on the side of the bed gradually tightened.
Everyone stared at Jiang Feng without blinking. When the veins on Jiang Feng's forehead bulged, Doctor Wang shouted, "Everyone, get out of the way!"
As the voice fell, the envoys who had been surrounding Jiang Feng retreated one after another. They had just made room for the empty space in front of the bed when the unconscious Jiang Feng suddenly opened his eyes, stood up and spit out a mouthful of blood!
The moment the blood hit the ground, a fishy smell spread. Everyone quickly raised their hands and covered their noses with their sleeves. With such a fishy smell, they didn't believe that there was no poisoning!
Song Chengyin frowned and quickly used his sleeve to cover Jiang Li's nose, fearing that the unpleasant fishy smell would irritate her.
Doctor Wang did not find the fishy smell pungent. He bent down and looked straight at Jiang Feng, waiting for him to spit out the poisonous blood in his body again.
Under the gaze of Doctor Wang, Jiang Feng supported himself on the bed with one hand. His chest was churning and a fishy-sweet taste spread through his throat again.
"puff!"
Jiang Feng spat out another mouthful of bright red blood. Doctor Wang hurriedly looked at the blood on the ground, and saw a red flesh worm crawling in the blood!
Doctor Wang squatted in front of the flesh worm without changing his expression, muttering, "It is so! No wonder his pulse showed signs of poisoning but his body is fine. It turns out that this poisonous insect is causing trouble!"
At this time, everyone also noticed the poisonous insect that was constantly wriggling in the blood, and they all bent down and moved closer.
"Blood, blood gu! It's blood gu!"
One of the envoys pointed at the poisonous insect on the ground with wide eyes and exclaimed.
"Blood Gu? What is that?"
When the others saw that the envoy knew the origin of the poisonous insect, they all turned to look at him.
The man swallowed and explained, "Although the blood parasite is not very harmful to the human body, it can control a person's mood and make them forget the memory they don't want to forget the most. As long as the blood parasite stays in the body, the memory will be sealed away!"
Jiang Li was stunned. She thought of dozens of possible reasons why Jiang Feng abandoned his mother, but she didn't think of this one! He didn't abandon his mother, but was forced to forget her!
Doctor Wang did not refute the envoy's words. The blood parasite did have this effect. It seemed that the person who poisoned Marquis Xuanping was probably the closest person to him...
