"It's really poisonous! Your Highness! Crown Prince! Do you believe me now? This kind of person must be severely punished!”Shan Yun was shocked by the black needle and quickly added insult to injury.
There was a sigh in the hall. The evidence was conclusive. This demoness was really hateful!
After staring at the orange in his hand for a long time, Huangfu Yifeng's eyes changed as he looked at the kneeling woman.
"Gu Yin, what else do you have to say?!”Seeing this, Cai Yin questioned Lin Yilan sternly, her eyes looking like she was watching a good show.
Lin Yilan looked up at Huangfu Yifeng. His handsome face was still cold, and it was impossible to tell his true emotions. She sighed lightly. She could only take a gamble now. She could only bet that Huangfu Yifeng was the discerning Qing Tian Bao! Putting away the myriad of emotions in her heart, Lin Yilan smiled and asked Ke Er,""Little Sister Ke Er, after you picked up this orange, did no one else touch it?”
"Of course! At that time, everyone was in a hurry to send Younger Sister Yourou back to her room, so I naturally took it. Why are you asking this?" Ke 'er's face was filled with suspicion. She was extremely uneasy from Lin Yilan's question.
"It's nothing. I just find it strange that when everyone was busy sending Younger Sister Yourou back to her room, Younger Sister Ke 'er had the time to pick up an orange that was not even half the size of a palm outside the pavilion. This attentiveness really makes this elder sister admire!”
"Gu Yin! Don't slander me!" When Ke 'er heard that, she immediately stood up in excitement. She didn't care about Huangfu Yifeng's situation and rushed forward, wanting to give him a slap.
"Why are you so agitated?" Without the guards restraining her, Lin Yilan naturally wouldn't let anyone slap her a second time.
Raising her hand to block Ke 'er's hand, Lin Yilan giggled and said," You're scared just by hearing this? Then wouldn't my next words scare you out of your wits?”
"Don't spout nonsense!" Ke Er panicked and wanted to stop Lin Yilan.
"Nonsense! Yun." Huangfu Yifeng looked at the two people who were about to get entangled in the hall with a headache. How were these people selected to be the ladies of the Imperial Residence? It seemed that the corrupt official who was in charge of the Xiunu matter would have to be investigated in the future.
"Yes, sir!" Understanding the meaning behind Huangfu Yifeng's words, Ying Yun waved his hand at the guards below, and two people went up to pull Ke Er, who had revealed her fierce appearance.
"Little vixen, if you have anything to say, continue.”Huangfu Zhuoqing revealed his true nature again after watching this farce for free. Although he still had the demeanor of a king, that frivolous "little vixen" had revealed his confidence.
Wang Yu, who didn't know the origin of this " demon ", misunderstood Huangfu Zhuoqing's intentions. He looked at Huangfu Zhuoqing with admiration. As expected of the Crown Prince, he could see through this demon's true nature with just a glance. He would definitely be a wise ruler in the future!
Lin Yilan rolled her eyes at the pretentious Crown Prince and turned to the vicious Ke 'er. She smiled and continued,""Actually, Little Sister Ke Er doesn't need to be afraid. What Big Sister said is just speculation. Little Sister Ke 'er had always brought this orange with her, so now that it was poisoned, Little Sister Ke' er couldn't get away with it?”
"Gu Yin, you…"
"Isn't that so? If this orange wasn't poisonous before, but it became poisonous after Little Sister Ke 'er's hand appeared, wouldn't it be like you're framing me?”
"Nonsense! Gu Yin, you're despicable!" Ke 'er was on the verge of going crazy as she struggled. Her original elegance and elegance were gone. Her bun struggled to fall apart, and her eyes were bloodshot as she glared at Lin Yilan with hatred.
"Take her away first." Huangfu Yifeng closed his eyes and waved his hand to have the noisy woman taken away. He felt a headache when he met Huangfu Zhuoqing's teasing gaze.
At this moment, the imperial physician whom Lin Yilan suspected would never return finally appeared from behind the screen. Everyone in the hall had their eyes on him, and the woman who had just been brought out was instantly forgotten.
"Lord Qi, how is it?" Wang Yu, who was standing beside Huangfu Yifeng, quickly asked.
"Your humble subject pays his respects to the Crown Prince and King Jing!" When people were old, they tended to stick to complicated rules, and even the imperial doctors were no exception. The chief was clearly asking about the patient's condition, but he completely ignored that person's words. Putting life and death aside, he paid his respects first.
"Imperial Physician Qi, there's no need to be so polite. How is Miss Li?" Huangfu Zhuoqing still acted like a prince.
"Your Highness, Miss Li's poison is extraordinary and really strange!”The Imperial Physician had a serious expression. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that Li Youruo's illness was extremely complicated. Even Imperial Physician Gong found it difficult to deal with.
Strange? Why didn't she think so? Lin Yilan, who was shocked by these words, watched in shock as the old imperial physician reported the situation to Huangfu Zhuoqing with a solemn expression. Could it be that she had made a wrong diagnosis?
"Strange? How strange?" This answer was beyond Huangfu Zhuoqing's expectations. This disease could be easily cured or difficult to treat. What was strange?
"When I checked Miss Li's pulse, I found that Miss Li's pulse was slow and slow. The main symptom is cold. Cold stagnates and the circulation of blood and qi is slow. However, the closed pulse is always deep and powerful. This is the manifestation of yang. Cold and Yang are different roots and should not appear at the same time, so I said this.”
"Does Imperial Physician Qi have any good ideas?" Huangfu Zhuoqing looked at Huangfu Yifeng, who was still expressionless, and frowned. From Huangfu Zhuoqing's words and facial expression, it could be seen that the Crown Prince's strength could not be underestimated. They were clearly confused and did not understand a single word, but on the surface, they had to pretend to be "I see". Moreover, they could change their facial expressions according to the contents of the imperial doctor's explanation. They could also ensure that there would not be a low-level mistake of "others are worried, but you are full of smiles as if you have heard good news". They also had to calmly inquire about the matter they were concerned about without revealing any flaws. Perhaps only the two Huangfu brothers could do such a difficult thing.
"Forgive me for my incompetence, but I haven't thought of a cure yet.”Quinn knelt down in pain to apologize, and Lin Yilan couldn't get her breath out of her throat.
"Imperial Physician Qi is the Imperial Hospital. If Imperial Physician Qi doesn't even think of…"
"Cough cough!"
Just as Huangfu Yifeng was about to dismiss Imperial Physician Qi and find another way to save him with Huangfu Zhuoqing, a series of coughs that sounded very fake interrupted his words.
Everyone looked at the "suspect" with admiration. To be honest, other than their hatred for her actions, they were still very impressed with her courage. She actually dared to interrupt his highness when he was speaking!
Feeling that cold gaze on her, Lin Yilan quickly explained to Huangfu Yifeng with a guilty look,""I didn't do it on purpose! There are so many chrysanthemums outside, I'm choking…Your Highness, don't look at me with such a suspicious gaze…Alright, I was wrong, you guys continue!”Lin Yilan, who was busy quibbling, became weaker and weaker. In the end, Huangfu Yifeng's gaze that could freeze people to death gave in without any backbone. Even she herself could not figure out why she was so useless when facing Huangfu Yifeng. As long as he glared at her, she would obediently surrender.
"Feng, lend me your girl for a few days?”After Lin Yilan's ruckus, the originally heavy atmosphere instantly dissipated. Huangfu Zhuoqing took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him and quietly whispered into Huangfu Yifeng's ear.
Huangfu Yifeng glanced at Huangfu Zhuoqing, but he didn't show any special reaction. He still had a cold expression on his face."Now that Ruo 'er hasn't woken up, she's a big suspect.”
"Do you mean you're not lending it to me? Don't be so stingy! I'm your brother after all!"
"You have the nerve to use this kind of thing to pressure me?”
"…Alright. But, Feng, do you really believe that the little vixen did it?”
Huangfu Yifeng shifted his gaze back to the girl who was staring at Imperial Physician Qi with disappointment. His cold face showed no signs of softening."Let's wait until Ruo 'er wakes up."
Although the people below didn't dare to look directly at the two people above, they all tried their best to look over from the corner of their eyes. Huangfu Yifeng and Huangfu Zhuoqing were whispering to each other, but they still maintained a serious and dignified expression. It made others think that they were discussing some important matter, such as how to punish Gu Yin. Therefore, the few beautiful girls stretched their ears to listen to every word, but in the end, it was in vain.
Why was this old man so stupid? Lin Yilan looked anxiously at the old imperial physician, who seemed to have thought of something but couldn't grasp the main point.
" Chrysanthemum... chrysanthemum..." The old imperial physician frowned and kept repeating the word " chrysanthemum ". Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he excitedly said to the prince and the crown prince,""I've thought of it! I know what kind of poison Miss Li has!”
"Oh? Please speak, Imperial Physician Quinn." When Huangfu Yifeng heard this, although he urged the imperial physician, his eyes were fixed on Lin Yilan.
"Miss Li's poison is 'Chrysanthemum.'”
"Chrysanthemum? What is this?" Cai Yin couldn't help but ask. Wasn't the name of this poison a little too strange?
"That's right!" Imperial Physician Qi was very confident at this moment." Chrysanthemum blossoms in autumn and is cold in nature. However, chrysanthemums are resistant to cold and do not fall in autumn. You can see the pistil of chrysanthemums, which is an object of extreme yang.‘Chrysanthemum, it was refined from the Yang chrysanthemum pistil of the cold chrysanthemum and other poisons. It injured the liver qi, so anyone who had this poison would definitely have the twin phase of yin and yang, and it was different from the Guan Meridian. This kind of poison has a slight fragrance, with the wind will disperse, touch water immediately dissolve, smell and eat can poison.”
"Wait! This orange is poisonous, and the poison can be dispersed with the wind. Wouldn't we all be in danger?”Yu Qin was extremely nervous.
"Young miss, don't worry. This poison can be poisoned by eating a small amount, but it needs to accumulate a certain amount to smell it.”
"Since Mr. Quinn already knows what kind of poison Ruo-er has, can he save her?”Huangfu Yifeng was very similar to Lin Yilan in some ways. He would selectively ignore the content that he did not understand. He only needed to know that Ruo 'er's poison was " chrysanthemum ". As for the other things, he just needed to listen. It did not matter if he could understand them or not.
"This…I am ashamed. The poison of chrysanthemum had its own antidote, but it could not be refined in a short period of time. The only thing he could do now was to break the poison recipe one by one. However…this method required a medicinal catalyst.”
"What drug primer?" Huangfu Zhuoqing asked. Imperial Physician Qi had always prescribed medicine without hesitation, and it was rare to see him in such an uncertain situation.
"I don't know." Quinn answered truthfully.
"You don't know?" Huangfu Yifeng and Huangfu Zhuoqing looked at each other. In that case, they could only ask for the antidote first.
"Chrysanthemum is cold and contains yang. If you want to cure this poison, you have to find an object that is both cold in autumn and can restrain the cold inside and carry yang outside. Only then can you eliminate the two and remove the poison. I'm stupid and haven't found it.”The old imperial physician decided to go back and think hard behind closed doors. He had to think of a drug primer. This would be another milestone in his medical journey.
"Cough cough!"
This time, everyone did not hesitate anymore. They all looked at the innocent Lin Yilan.
"Don't look at me like that. I really choked this time! Don't you think this chrysanthemum fragrance is too strong? We should really plant a few osmanthus trees…"
"Gu Yin, what tricks are you playing this time?”Before Lin Yilan could finish complaining, Dan Yun interrupted her in dissatisfaction. Every time Lin Yilan said something, she would always feel that there was a hidden meaning behind it, but she couldn't hear it. This was something that made her feel uneasy.
"It's just a cough! Is this something I can control?" Lin Yilan still wanted to say a few more words to Qi Dan Yun, but when she accidentally saw the icicle shot out by the iceberg, her self-righteous quibble instantly became much lighter." Alright, I won't cough."”There was probably no need for her to cough. Otherwise, with such a group of quacks, if the people in the palace fell ill, she would not be able to save them.
"Ah! Crown Prince! Your Highness! I've thought of a solution! Osmanthus was the drug primer! Its fragrance can transform into chrysanthemum fragrance, and its cold can also restrain the yang inside chrysanthemum…Wonderful, wonderful! " These two flowers can be used as medicine, but their properties…" The old imperial physician, who had not spoken since Lin Yilan's speech, suddenly said excitedly. As he spoke, he seemed to have forgotten to report to the Huangfu brothers and began to talk to himself. It was obvious how excited he was.
"Since you already know about the drug primer, I'll have to trouble you to write a prescription first.”Huangfu Zhuoqing hurriedly interrupted the old imperial physician's words. In order to prevent himself from being confused by his words again, he seriously found an excuse to send him away, lest he accidentally showed an expression of not understanding in front of everyone.
"Yes, sir! This humble subject will take his leave!"
Looking at the old imperial physician who had followed his servant out to prescribe medicine but was still immersed in the joy of success, Lin Yilan unknowingly smiled. After all, both of them were medical maniacs, so she could understand his feelings. It seemed that the imperial physician was not as bad as she had imagined. This imperial physician really had some skills. She had only reminded him a little and he was able to deduce it. If it was not for the fact that he had something in his stomach, he would not have been able to do this.
The reason why she used a tactful way to remind them was that she did not want to leave any evidence for those women.
Actually, Lin Yilan knew about Youruo's poison not because she was more knowledgeable than Imperial Physician Qi, but because she had recently been studying books on poisons and had coincidentally seen " chrysanthemum " a few days ago, so she made the connection. Moreover, she had checked Li Youruo's pulse before she fainted, so she knew the changes in her pulse very well. The old imperial physician had read countless medical books, so it would be extremely difficult to find a corresponding disease from thousands of diseases.
However, to say the drug primer, everyone depended on their own ability, not luck.
"Your Highness, how should we deal with Gu Yin?”After waiting for a while, seeing that Huangfu Yifeng had no intention of chasing Gu Yin away, Cai Yin became anxious and could not help but ask.
After Cai Yin said this, everyone turned their attention back to Lin Yilan, waiting for Huangfu Yifeng's verdict.
Lin Yilan looked at Huangfu Yifeng, trying to find some emotional fluctuations from him, but she failed.
"Before Ruo 'er wakes up, you must not take half a step out of the Jade Bamboo Residence. Yun, go and take good care of her." Huangfu Yifeng said slowly with his deep eyes.
"What is it? Your Highness! She had harmed Younger Sister Yourou twice! How can we let him off so easily?" When Ming Yue heard this verdict, she was the first to shout in dissatisfaction. She did not expect that his highness would be so biased towards Gu Yin! If he let her stay, wouldn't it be very dangerous?!
"Your Highness, please reconsider! A person like Gu Yin was a threat to Sister Yourou in the Imperial Residence of Liu!”Yu Qin was also anxious to persuade him. What Gu Yin said just now made her feel a lingering fear. Yu Qin's true intention was not to threaten Li Youruo with Gu Yin, but to threaten herself!
"Your Highness! Gu Yin couldn't stay! How can we be convinced that you're only grounded for committing such a serious crime?!”
"Your Highness has always enforced the law impartially. The Crown Prince is watching! Wouldn't it be a joke if word got out that his highness was indulging a sinner like this?”
They used the same tactics they used against Wang Yu to persuade Huangfu Yifeng to punish Lin Yilan severely. However, the difference between Huangfu Yifeng being a Royal Highness and Wang Yu being a General Manager was clear. It wasn't blood relations that determined the status of the Royal Highness but natural selection. The smart Royal Highness would become a General Manager while the dumb one would become a General Manager.
"Unconvinced by this king's decision? You guys are really bold." His cold tone instantly caused gusts of cold wind to blow in the room. His sharp black eyes swept across the few beautiful women, and each of them trembled in fear.
"I wouldn't dare." The originally arrogant voices were frightened by Huangfu Yifeng, and they immediately became as soft as mosquitoes as they answered in unison.
"What about you?" Shifting his gaze to the overly quiet Lin Yilan, Huangfu Yifeng frowned slightly. For the first time, there was a slight change on his cold and handsome face. When Lin Yilan raised her head, her originally bright eyes were now devoid of luster. There was only pain from being hurt. Huangfu Yifeng was slightly stunned, and his chest started to feel stuffy.
"Even you don't believe me?" Just now, no matter how much the group of crazy women made a fuss, she stubbornly held back her tears. However, Huangfu Yifeng's words, which were neither light nor heavy, could make her heart feel like it was being twisted by a knife.
No one believed her. This feeling was like a person trapped on an isolated island. She thought that there was a boat that could ferry her away, so she waited with hope. However, in the end, the small boat changed its course and refused to take her back to shore. Although it was absurd, she truly tasted the bitterness of being abandoned.
Huangfu Yifeng's decision was a light punishment in the eyes of those beautiful women, but Lin Yilan seemed to have cut off her thoughts of finding out the truth! If she was grounded, he could have sent some guards to guard her, but he directly asked Ying Yun to guard her. This way, even if she wanted to sneak out at night, it would be a fool's dream. Moreover, she could already foresee the outcome of being grounded in all unfavorable circumstances and unable to change from passive to active. The important thing was that Huangfu Yifeng's decision clearly showed that he didn't trust her. If Huangfu Yifeng did not trust her in the Imperial Residence, what chance did she have to turn the tables?!
"Feng, don't go overboard." Huangfu Zhuoqing also seemed to be a little unhappy with this decision.
Huangfu Yifeng did not answer. He only looked deeply at Lin Yilan and waved his hand to signal Ying Yun to bring Lin Yilan back and lock her up. Then, he walked around the screen without looking back and entered the inner room.
"Huangfu Yifeng, you are just as stupid as these women!”Lin Yilan was furious. She shouted at the screen. This idiot only had Li Youruo in his mind!
Huangfu Zhuoqing looked at Lin Yilan, who was being forcefully taken away but still kept scolding her, with admiration. She was the first person who dared to scold Huangfu Yifeng! These two people had a chance!
Huangfu Zhuoqing happily fantasized about what would happen after the two of them got together.
