"The Imperial Master... The Imperial Master's popularity is waning!"
The old doctor's face was full of disbelief, and even his hand that was on the Imperial Master's connection could not help but tremble. There was a man sleeping on the bed, but this man was different. He was wearing a half silver mask, his thin lips were lightly pursed, and the half of his face that was revealed was very white. The man's eyelashes were very long and as thick as a small brush. He clearly had the face of a child of destiny, but at this moment, he was breathing in less air and breathing out even less air.
The Imperial Preceptor was poisoned by an extremely rare poison that would cause the person to sleep longer and longer each day until he could never wake up again. However, even though famous doctors in Kyoto had come to take the Imperial Preceptor's pulse, they were all at a loss and kept shaking their heads. The Imperial Preceptor's Mansion also posted many notices, promising that anyone who could cure the Imperial Preceptor's illness would be rewarded with a hundred acres of fertile land, a thousand miles of gold, and a mansion in the east of the city.
Just as the room full of doctors was in deep distress, a servant entered, leading a veiled woman. The woman was dressed in a white robe, and her eyes were extremely bright and charming, rippling with light. A soft, pleasant voice slowly emerged from behind the veil, "Well, it seems to be a difficult disease. However, it is not a terminal illness."
Judging from the voice, she was at most a little girl. Before she even started taking the patient's pulse, she was already speaking so arrogantly. The doctors looked at her with contempt and sneered, "Little girl, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want!"
An older doctor hurried over to the woman and said, "Young lady, please leave quickly. This disease is beyond our ability to cure. If we're not careful, you might even lose your head."
The veil fluttered, and Jiuxi's star-like eyes glanced at the doctors lightly, and said coldly, "Whether it can be cured or not is up to me."
Such a contemptuous attitude made all the doctors look a little ugly. Doctors who have been practicing for decades would not dare to make such a boast, let alone a young girl.
But the servant next to Jiuxi said with a smile, "Our daughter is an unrivaled poison doctor in the world. You guys can't compare to her!"
This young man was transformed by Jiuxi using the art of illusion. He was as arrogant as he could be, and he seemed to wish he could grow his eyes to the sky and look down at these old men.
"Hmph!" All the doctors left the room angrily, while the kind-looking old doctor looked at Jiuxi with pity in his eyes, and followed those arrogant doctors out.
The servant closed the door and turned into a wisp of mist and left. Jiuxi casually cast a barrier to isolate those who wanted to spy outside the door.
Walking slowly towards the man sleeping on the bed, Jiuxi's lacquer-like eyes suddenly darkened and she quickened her pace. She placed her hand on the man's pulse, but found that she could not see any clues. However, when she turned the man's palm, she found that the man's palm was unusually delicate, and even his fingers... were so slender.
She lifted the blanket from the man and slowly moved her hands to his chest. It was a little stiff, but strangely stiff. Jiuxi simply took off the man's clothes. The man's skin was really white and rosy, and his collarbone was clearly visible. And this man actually...actually wore a bellyband... Inside the bellyband were layers of wrapped cloth...
It was not much different from what she expected. After Jiuxi tidied up the clothes of the state teacher, she found a pill from the jade pendant she carried with her. Her jade-white fingers dropped the pill into the tea. The translucent white pill slowly dissolved with the tea. This... pill was the one she took from Laojun Mansion last time. Unexpectedly, it came in handy at this moment.
