Holding the silk thread in his hand, Kang Taihe felt an urge to cry for a moment. His medical skills weren't high enough to diagnose a pulse by suspending a thread.
Kang Taihe dared not admit that he was not skilled in this art; if the disciple of the Medical Sage did not know how to diagnose pulses by thread-suspended pulse, who would believe it?
He believed that if he said he didn't, the person would definitely see through his identity and kill him on the spot.
He had no choice but to slowly pick up the silk thread with trembling hands.
However, Kang Tai was fortunate that he was blindfolded and had never seen the other person from beginning to end, so at least he still had a chance to survive.
Touching the silk thread, Kang Tai quickly analyzed in his mind what kind of illness he needed to fabricate to fool the enemy.
The fact that this person is in such a hurry to find him suggests that he must be seriously ill and near death.
Such a person is either suffering from a serious and difficult-to-treat illness, or has been poisoned or injured.
Kang Taihe sniffed the air and didn't smell any blood in the room, so he could most likely rule out serious injury.
The remaining choice is between serious illness and poisoning.
Seriously ill people usually groan in pain, but there were no unusual sounds here.
However, it's also possible that the patient fainted due to pain, which is hard to say.
But if it's a serious illness, he won't be able to diagnose it at all. What will he do if the other person asks?
Poisoning or a serious illness?
Kang Tai was conflicted.
A voice sounded beside him, sounding somewhat impatient, "Dr. Kang, your treatment is taking quite a while."
Kang Taihe dared not delay any longer, slowly put down the silk thread in his hand, and stood up.
"Dr. Kang, how is it?"
He didn't care anymore, he took the gamble!
"The patient has been poisoned, and it is an unknown poison. I cannot think of an antidote for the time being, but please give me a month, and I will definitely be able to find an antidote."
"Ten days," the man said.
Hearing the man say that, Kang Taihe breathed a sigh of relief; he had made the right bet!
But then Kang Taihe panicked again; ten days wasn't enough.
"The time is too short." He suggested a month after mentally calculating that a month would be enough for him to complete the task his cousin had given him and escape.
“Seven days,” the man continued.
“Young master, I really can’t do it in seven days.”
Five days.
Kang Taihe dared not say anything more. If he continued, and the time suddenly turned into a day, wouldn't that be the same as taking his life right away?
"Okay, okay, five days it is."
Never mind, let's get out of here first.
"I will send someone to pick you up in five days. If there is no antidote by then, Dr. Kang, you'd better take care of yourself." The man paused, then said, "Dr. Kang, I advise you not to have any improper thoughts, or you won't be able to blame me."
Kang Taihe shuddered upon hearing this, realizing the warning in the man's words.
Although he didn't know who the other person was, someone who could bring him here so easily must not be a simple person.
Kang Taihe was starting to regret impersonating the medical sage's apprentice. He only wanted to make some money and didn't want to lose his life, but now he was in a bind.
"Dr. Kang, who are you visiting at the Imperial Preceptor's residence to see?" the other person asked casually.
With his mind preoccupied with the detoxification, Kang Taihe casually replied, "Just a little kid."
"Someone, take Doctor Kang back."

In the past few days, Su Ruojin and Xiao Yanchu have noticed that there has been no movement at Piaoyun Garden, and everything is as usual.
The note was delivered by Hu Qing, so there's no way it could have gone wrong.
It contains information about the place where Princess Yuening kept her male lovers and how to break the trap in the center of the lake.
Su Ruojin looked puzzled. "Are all the men in Xiaoyue so magnanimous? They can remain indifferent even if their fiancées keep male lovers."
