Chapter 197 Your Majesty is right!
The wet nurse was temporarily placed aside.
The imperial physician looked solemn. He held a silver needle and gently pierced her fingertip. Drops of bright red blood dripped into the white porcelain bowl.
Next, the imperial physician began to try various detoxifying herbs one by one, dripping the herbal juice into the blood bowl and carefully observing the changes in the blood, trying to find the key to detoxification.
Although this method is time-consuming, it is the safest and can ensure that an accurate and effective detoxification method is found to avoid adding poison to poison.
Seeing the two children's faces turned purple from crying and they could hardly breathe, Bai Wutong's heart felt like it was being pierced by thousands of needles and the pain was so severe that he could hardly control himself.
She was extremely anxious and walked quickly to the wet nurse. Without hesitation, she took some of her blood and put it to her nose to sniff it carefully.
However, the only smell that entered my nose was the smell of blood, nothing unusual at all.
Her nose, which was always sensitive, did not detect any trace of poison this time.
Bai Wutong forced himself to calm down and quickly recalled everything that happened in the morning.
Yun and Yunxi were both fine before, and the poison took effect in a very short time, which means that the wet nurse was poisoned not long ago.
When they woke up in the morning, the first thing they drank was the same water as themselves. Since they were safe and sound, it meant that the water was non-toxic.
Having ruled out the water as a suspect, the problem is most likely with the medicinal food consumed in the morning!
"Chan'er, is there any medicinal food left?"
"Yes, there is still a little soup base left, and I haven't had time to clean it up." Chan'er replied quickly.
"Bring it here quickly!"
After a while, a bowl of medicinal soup base was brought to Bai Wutong.
She leaned forward again, sniffed carefully, and even took a sip, but still found nothing unusual.
In desperation, she could only hand the bowl of medicinal food to the imperial physician, "This is what the nurse ate today."
"Great! With this minister, we will be able to find a way to detoxify faster. Your Majesty, don't worry. The two princes are the sons of the dragon. Good people will have good luck, and nothing will happen to them."
At this moment in Zhaochun Palace, the atmosphere was so depressing that it made people feel breathless.
Bai Wutong sat on the couch in a daze, staring blankly ahead, without saying a word.
Zhang Chengyan stood aside, his face as cold as ice, "No matter what, Yun and Yunxi must not be in any danger!"
These are his only two children, the treasures in his heart!
He had just welcomed the two princes and had finally managed to quell the rumors and gossips throughout the world and among his ministers.
If anything unexpected happened to them, those rumors would surely spread again, saying that he was an emperor who was not favored by heaven, and should not sit on the throne, and that this was a punishment from heaven, etc.
He must never let this happen again!
Time passes by every second.
Every second seemed to be stretched infinitely, and the air was filled with suffocating depression.
The imperial physician was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. Beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down his forehead and soaking his clothes.
He is recognized as a master of detoxification in the Imperial Hospital, and his detoxification skills are also the best in the entire Darong Kingdom.
But now, faced with the poison that the two princes had been poisoned with, he looked through all the medical books and pharmacopoeias in his mind and used up all his life's knowledge, but still could not find any solution!
He knew in his heart that if even he couldn't cure the poison, the two princes would be in great danger and their lives would be in jeopardy!
Bai Wutong stood up suddenly. "Look at those two wet nurses. They are safe and sound! They were obviously the first to be poisoned. Logically, they should have been poisoned too. How come only Yun and Yunxi were in trouble? They just drank milk. It is impossible for them to be poisoned more severely than the wet nurses!"
When the imperial physician heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Your Majesty is right!"
Bai Wutong continued, "Either this poison will do more harm to young children, or this poison will merge with breast milk and become more toxic!"
The imperial physician was so anxious that he kept pacing in circles. The answer seemed to be right on the tip of his tongue, but he just couldn't remember it.
At this time, a doctor next to him thought of something and whispered, "Ziming grass."
"Yes, it's Ziming grass!" The imperial physician suddenly woke up and slapped his thigh. "It's fine for adults to eat this, but it will be poisonous for children! And the symptoms are very similar to those of the two princes."
Rapid breathing, shortness of breath, and purple face, are these the typical symptoms of Zimingcao poisoning?
Why didn’t I think of this before?
He was filled with regret and quickly wrote down a prescription, urging his men to prepare the medicine.
"What is Ziming grass? What does it look like?" Bai Wutong asked immediately.
"The ziming grass is slender and upright, with a stem no thicker than a middle finger and about one meter tall. It is covered with a thin layer of almost transparent hair. The leaves are deeply lobed like feathers, with slender and sharp lobes and shallow serrations on the edges. The front of the leaves is dark green and smooth, while the back is slightly rough."
After hearing the imperial physician's explanation, the image of Ziming grass instantly appeared in Bai Wutong's mind.
She had seen this thing before, and more than once!
It's just that she doesn't know the name of this thing.
The smell of Ziming grass is almost exactly the same as one of the herbs in her medicinal diet, and most importantly, their effects are also very similar.
The only difference is that the herbal medicine in her original prescription would not cause any problem for babies, but the Ziming grass would poison them!
No wonder I didn't notice anything unusual before.
Bai Wutong felt dizzy and his body swayed, almost falling heavily on the couch.
Fortunately, the cushion behind her supported her in time and prevented her from falling.
How could she not understand that all this was directed at her!
The mastermind behind this knew her medicinal recipes very well and had even conducted in-depth research on them!
After she finished writing the medicinal recipe, she handed it to the Imperial Medical Bureau for record keeping.
The medicinal food was prepared by the imperial kitchen, which was responsible for serving the princes and whose staff were reliable people specially selected by the emperor.
In the end, it was still impossible to guard against it and something went wrong!
There could be no one else except the Queen who could place people in both the Imperial Hospital and the Imperial Kitchen and develop such a vicious method of poisoning that leaves no trace!
As for Jin Weige, she doesn't have such scheming and wisdom, otherwise she would have taken action against herself long ago, and would not have waited until now.
What a queen!
How dare you use such cruel means!
If anything happens to Yun and Yunxi, Bai Wutong will never let her go even if she risks her life!
Bai Wutong held Chan'er's hand tightly, tears welling up in his eyes.
After all, I was too careless.
She thought that since she had checked it carefully herself, everything would be foolproof, and that with her knowledge of medicinal food, there wouldn't be any mistakes.
But she never expected that the other party would be so insidious and cunning, and come up with such an unpredictable and vicious plan!
Chan'er felt so distressed when she saw her own queen blaming herself so much that she hurriedly comforted her, "Your Majesty, don't worry. The first and second princes are blessed with good fortunes and will definitely get better!"
At this moment, an anxious eunuch hurried in, holding up a medicine bowl and shouting, "The medicine is ready!"
The imperial physician hurried forward, took the bowl of medicine, took a small sip himself first, tasted it carefully, and after making sure there was no problem, he carefully fed it to the two princes.
While feeding the medicine, he quickly took out the silver needle and skillfully injected it to assist in detoxification.
