"No need, Your Highness. I am a doctor myself and don't need anyone else to help me. I know my own body condition."
Qin Hanwu didn't believe Jiang Jingyue at all; he looked at her and shook his head.
"Xiao Jing, haven't you ever heard the saying, 'A doctor cannot heal himself'?"
Seeing his insistence, Jiang Jingyue didn't say anything more to refuse.
If the imperial physician comes soon, we can take another look at the medicine and see if he can find any problems.
"Your Highness, please have the imperial physician come over! Let him take a look at this medicine as well. Xiao Jing has already figured it out; someone has added sterilization powder to it. Drinking too much of this will harm Your Highness's offspring and may even cause you to lose your lineage."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Hanwu himself didn't react, but Wang Desheng, who was beside him, couldn't accept it.
He immediately started yelling, his eyes wide open.
The young apprentice standing next to him was also somewhat incredulous, as he had always been responsible for brewing this medicine.
If anything goes wrong with this medicine, he won't be able to escape responsibility.
"Impossible! Your Highness, I'm innocent! I personally brewed this medicine; I would never have poisoned you. Your Highness, you must believe me!"
The young apprentice was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, trembling, and dared not even lift his head.
Jiang Jingyue looked at him and said coldly, "When you were brewing this medicine, did you leave the room during the process? Or did anyone go in?"
When the young apprentice heard Jiang Jingyue ask this question, he instinctively wanted to shake his head, but it's unclear what he was thinking next.
He suddenly nodded, his eyes filled with fear.
“Miss Jiang, when I was brewing this medicine, there was a sudden noise outside. I was curious, so I went out to check. But when I came back, the medicine was still the same. I checked it too. Could it be at this moment?”
When Jiang Jingyue heard him say that, she felt that this was the only possibility. However, it seemed that the medicine in Qin Hanwu's body had been in place for some time.
In other words, he was drugged sometime during more than just today.
"When you usually brew medicine, do you always stay in one place? Is there anyone who goes there more frequently?"
The apprentice thought about it carefully for a moment, then his expression changed and he hesitated.
He seemed to be hesitating, wondering whether he should speak.
Qin Hanwu noticed his expression and looked at him with a serious face.
"Speak! Whoever it is, I will investigate thoroughly."
The young apprentice hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking.
"Your Highness, it's the wet nurse. She's been going to the pharmacy a lot lately. Sometimes she says she's looking for medicine, and sometimes she just goes there out of boredom. Also, there have been several times when I haven't seen her, there's always some noise outside."
The servants all went out to look, but they didn't know if it was the wet nurse.
Upon hearing this, Qin Hanwu's expression instantly turned grim. He couldn't believe that the person who would betray him was his wet nurse.
Wang Desheng couldn't believe it either. He had always thought that the wet nurse was the person in the palace who most wanted the prince to live a good life. Now, the thought that she would actually drug the prince was something Wang Desheng couldn't accept.
"That's impossible. The wet nurse raised the prince from a young age. The prince is like her child. She would never do something like that. Something must have gone wrong."
Seeing the incredulous looks on their faces, Jiang Jingyue could only offer words of comfort.
"Your Highness, this matter is not certain yet. The investigation has not been completed, and we cannot confirm whether she is the wet nurse."
Let's wait until the investigation is complete before making any judgments; we can't be so hasty now.
For some reason, when the apprentice said that she was his wet nurse, Qin Hanwu was initially a little taken aback, but he quickly became indifferent.
"I will investigate this matter thoroughly. Do not reveal any information for now."
The apprentice nodded immediately; even if he wanted to reveal it, he wouldn't dare.
This is a matter for the prince; it's not something we servants can discuss.
The imperial physician was also brought over. This physician was one of Qin Hanwu's men, and because of his poor health, he had been living in the palace for quite some time.
"Your Highness, why did you summon me here at this time? Is something the matter? Are you feeling unwell again?"
Qin Hanwu pointed to the medicine in front of him and said, "Take a look at this medicine and see if there's anything wrong with it. You prescribed it yourself, so you should be able to tell at a glance if there's a problem."
The imperial physician was stunned for a moment, and cold sweat involuntarily broke out all over his body.
He first examined the dregs of the medicine, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with them, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Your Highness, this medicine is the one I prescribed. There's nothing wrong with it; it's definitely a tonic."
Qin Hanwu saw that he had only looked at the dregs of the medicine, so he immediately threw the bowl of medicine in front of him.
"Then the imperial physician might as well take a look at this and see if there are any problems."
Seeing the prince so angry, the imperial physician had a bad feeling.
He immediately picked up the overturned bowl and looked at the medicine still inside.
He reached out, took a little bit, and smelled it, but couldn't smell anything.
He picked up the broken bowl from the ground, put the remaining medicine on it to his lips, and drank it.
He realized there was a problem as soon as he drank it.
He immediately spat out the medicine he had just drunk.
"Your Highness, there's nothing wrong with the dregs of the medicine, but why is there a problem with the brewed medicine? It seems someone has added a poison that will kill your offspring. If you drink too much, it will affect your future children..."
The imperial physician didn't continue speaking, but those who understood would naturally understand.
Qin Hanwu really didn't expect that he had been taking this medicine for so long. If Jiang Jingyue hadn't discovered it today, he might have continued taking it indefinitely.
The consequences would be unimaginable.
"Investigate! Investigate for me! Once you find the person, I will reward you handsomely."
Qin Hanwu already felt that the wet nurse was involved in the matter, but he still held onto a sliver of hope.
He hoped this matter had nothing to do with his wet nurse, since she had raised him from childhood.
It can be said that without the wet nurse, he wouldn't be where he is today, so he still doesn't want the wet nurse to have done this.
"Wang Desheng, investigate immediately. I have other matters to attend to. Once you have found out the truth, bring the person before me."
"I want to see who it is that has the audacity to so blatantly poison my medicine!"
