Chapter 10 — He Used To See Me As A Decoration, Now He Begs Me Not To Leave

Without thinking too much, I changed my clothes and immediately followed the eunuch's orders and hurriedly entered the palace. The carriage stopped in front of the door of Tu An palace. The atmosphere in the palace was extremely heavy, everyone in the eunuch palace was silent, not even daring to breathe loudly. As soon as I entered the temple, I smelled an extremely strong and mixed medicinal smell. The emperor and several royal physicians were all surrounding the bed, each of their faces extremely heavy. Tieu Can Ngon was also present there. As soon as he saw me, he immediately walked over to greet me and said in a low voice:

"This afternoon, the Queen Mother suddenly vomited blood and fell into a coma. The doctors tried everything but could not find the cause."

I walked to the bed, only to see the Queen Mother lying on it, her eyes closed tightly, her face pale and depressed, her lips purple and black, her breathing so weak that it was almost gone. I reached out my hand to check her pulse. However, the head physician, Liu Thai physician, raised his hand to stop me:

"Your Highness, that's impossible! The Queen Mother's phoenix body is so precious, how could she let someone like you..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a cold look from the emperor.

“Let her see.”

The emperor's voice carried no emotion at all. Doctor Liu could only shyly retreat to the side. My finger is placed on the Queen Mother's wrist. The pulse is dull, waxy, chaotic, completely without rules. I checked her eyelids and tongue again, and finally my eyes slowly stopped on the incense burner emitting blue smoke hovering at the head of the bed. I walked over, rolled up some incense ashes and brought it to my nose to smell it.

"Emperor."

I turned around and looked at the bottomless man sitting on the long chair.

“Can I show you the recipe to prepare this type of scent?”

The emperor signaled the eunuch chief beside him. The general manager quickly brought a prescription sheet. I took it, just looked at it once and immediately understood everything.

“The Queen Mother is not sick.”

“It was poisoning.”

The moment I said that sentence, the air in the entire temple seemed to freeze. Doctor Liu immediately objected:

"No way! This 'An Than Fragrance' remedy was personally researched and prepared by me and other royal physicians, there is absolutely no problem!"

“The medicine itself is really no problem.”

I returned the prescription sheet to the general manager.

“The main problem is that while making incense, someone secretly added something else.”

I looked at the emperor, word by word I said clearly:

“Hai Nguyet Sa.”

"Hai Nguyet Sa is produced in Dong Hai. It is not toxic in itself, and is even a very good hemostatic medicine."

“But it has a character.”

“Once burned with eucalyptus, it will immediately turn into a colorless and odorless poison.”

"People poisoned in the early stages only show signs of drowsiness and lethargy. But over time, the toxin will gradually penetrate the internal organs, eventually vomiting blood and falling into a coma, which is difficult for even gods to save."

Let's stop for a moment and then continue:

“This kind of incense, the Queen Mother has smelled it for at least three months.”

A bone-chilling murderous intent immediately flashed in the emperor's eyes. Tieu Can Ngon's face also became extremely unsightly. Even though the royal palace was so strictly guarded, someone still poisoned Thai After three months it was not detected. The story behind this was enough to shake the entire court.

“Can you solve it?”

The Emperor asked me, his voice completely void of emotion. I answered decisively.

“But I need some medicinal herbs that I'm afraid don't exist in the palace.”

"I give you a token, you can freely leave the palace and mobilize all the medicinal herbs in the capital."

“I only need one result.”

I wrote down the remedy and gave it to Tieu Can Ngon:

“Your Majesty, please go prepare it yourself.”

"Remember, the amount of each medicine on this recipe must not be more than one coin, nor less than one coin."

"After getting enough medicine, bring it directly to Te The Duong, I will prepare the medicine there."

Tieu Can Ngon received the medicine, his eyes looking at me carried an emotion that I had never seen before.
