The imperial physician then thought of asking Xu Yuehuai. If it really was Xu Yuehuai who poisoned the little princess, perhaps asking her could force out some information!
With this in mind, the imperial physician instructed those around him to take good care of the little princess, while he himself left the little princess's bedchamber with the medicine boy and went to the prison.
The jailer spotted the imperial physician from afar and hurriedly greeted him, "Imperial Physician Li, what brings you to the prison all of a sudden? Is someone in the prison sick?"
"No, I just have something I want to ask about Manager Xu who was imprisoned before."
As he spoke, Physician Li instructed the jailer to lead him to Xu Yuehuai.
The jailer was a little surprised, but then said respectfully, "So Physician Li is looking for Manager Xu! Come, I'll take you there right now!"
A short while later, Physician Li followed the jailer to look for Xu Yuehuai.
Xu Yuehuai was resting in the prison. He sat in a corner, cross-legged, with his eyes closed, trying to relax. But his mind was filled with thoughts of everything that had happened since he arrived there.
They want to find things that are in their favor and see if they can use them as leverage to save themselves.
After thinking for a long time, Xu Yuehuai still couldn't come up with a solution.
Just as Xu Yuehuai was pondering this, she suddenly heard a series of footsteps.
The footsteps were particularly hurried, coming quickly from outside into the house.
Xu Yuehuai didn't know if the other person was looking for her, so she pretended not to know and sat quietly in place without opening her eyes to check.
After a while, Xu Yuehuai heard footsteps approaching her side, as if they had deliberately stopped beside her, probably coming to find her.
Even if the other party doesn't take the initiative, Xu Yuehuai doesn't plan to contact them in advance.
It's not mealtime now, so coming to see her definitely won't be anything good.
The visitors were displeased to see that Xu Yuehuai acted as if nothing had happened and hadn't even noticed them coming to find her.
The jailer said coldly to Xu Yuehuai, "Wake up, someone is coming to see you."
When Xu Yuehuai heard the other person speak to her, she opened her eyes, pretending to have just woken up, and looked up at the other person.
It turned out to be the imperial physician who had treated the little princess before, and a jailer.
"What brings the imperial physician here?" Xu Yuehuai asked when she saw that it was the imperial physician.
The imperial physician said, "I didn't expect that Princess Heyue would still remember me."
"I came to the prison to see you this time because of the little princess."
Upon hearing that it was related to the little princess, Xu Yuehuai quickly asked, "Little princess, what happened? How is she doing?"
The imperial physician scoffed inwardly when he saw Xu Yuehuai's apparent concern for the little princess. He thought to himself that Xu Yuehuai might be the one who poisoned the princess, and yet she was still pretending to be concerned.
"The little princess is in very bad condition right now. Without medication, she probably won't last more than a few days."
Why did you poison the little princess?
"How can we detoxify the little princess?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai did not blame the imperial physician, after all, the physician was only doing it for the little princess's good, and she could understand.
"I really didn't poison the little princess! But I might have a way to alleviate her condition!"
The imperial physician asked, "What methods do you have to alleviate the little princess's condition?"
He didn't remember that Xu Yuehuai knew medicine. After all, this Princess Heyue was just a commoner who was lucky enough to gain the favor of the Duke of Zhenguo's family, which is why she had the title of Princess Heyue.
He's just a good-for-nothing, what can he possibly do?
Xu Yuehuai pondered for a moment and then asked the imperial physician, "What is the little princess's current condition?"
The imperial physician said, "He won't eat or drink, and we can't feed him anything; we have to force-feed him medicine."
"The little princess can no longer eat! Her stomach is slowly ulcerating!"
Xu Yuehuai consulted some modern medical knowledge and quickly came up with a solution.
"Since the little princess is unable to eat right now, you will have to force-feed her liquid food."
"Next, soak the little princess in the medicinal solution to reduce the toxins in her body!"
"We can also induce vomiting! Let the little princess vomit out the toxins left in her stomach! Give her some anti-inflammatory medicine to prevent her stomach from ulcerating further!"
...
Xu Yuehuai said a lot, and the imperial physician listened with a dazed look in his eyes. In the end, he looked at her as if she were a god.
"I've never heard of any of these methods before. You're not trying to fool me, are you? Do these methods really work?"
After hearing this, the imperial physician was still somewhat incredulous and questioned Xu Yuehuai.
Xu Yuehuai smiled faintly, shrugged, and said to the imperial physician, "If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."
"However, I advise you to try it first, since the little princess's condition is extremely critical right now."
"If the little princess doesn't receive treatment soon, she might not last much longer."
If the little princess dies because of this, the King of Mingyue Kingdom will definitely not let this imperial physician off the hook!
"Okay! I hope you're not lying to me, I'll go try it now."
"If I find out in the end that you lied to me and made the princess's situation even worse, I will report to His Majesty the King that you were trying to harm the princess!"
By then, Xu Yuehuai will truly have no way to escape!
But Xu Yuehuai wasn't someone who sought death. Naturally, she wouldn't harm the little princess over such a small matter. Of course, she needed to get out of prison as soon as possible and regain her freedom.
"Don't worry, how could I possibly harm the little princess? I'm currently locked up in prison. If you find out I'm lying to you, you can make me pay anytime."
"You can use it without worry, but you must keep a close eye on it during the process, lest some people who want to harm the little princess take advantage of it."
Upon hearing this, the imperial physician's gaze deepened. He said nothing more and turned to leave.
The jailer was still staring at Xu Yuehuai in shock. He had just admired Xu Yuehuai greatly, but he never expected her to be such a formidable person.
Throughout the entire Mingyue Kingdom, apart from their King, no one dared to speak to Physician Li in such a manner.
This Xu Yuehuai is the first one! She's really amazing!
Xu Yuehua noticed that the jailer was staring at her with a strange look in his eyes.
She pouted and said, "Why are you staring at me like that?"
"No, no, I wasn't looking at you the whole time!"
The jailer, having been exposed, was somewhat flustered and waved his hands in refusal before leaving.
When they arrived, they were in such a hurry that they picked up a stone and tripped and fell flat on their faces.
Upon seeing this, Xu Yuehuai burst into laughter!
The jailer, too ashamed to face anyone, quickened his pace and left.
