"Second Brother of the Jiang Family, you scum! Did you hear me? Get out!”

"Shut up, you idiot. Get out!”Second Brother Jiang was infuriated. His expression was as if he had just eaten a bomb. He was very hot. He shouted angrily but did not raise his head. It could be said that he was racing against time. He took out the silver needles from his storage ring and began to perform acupuncture on the Empress. The maidservant had once thought that Second Brother Jiang was not a pushover, but she did not expect him to be so fierce. She was so frightened that her mouth trembled. At this moment, Emperor Di Xin also rushed over. It seemed that this wife of his was not light!

Because the Empress had vomited blood, Emperor Xin was greatly frightened by this symptom! Coupled with Second Brother Jiang's shout, tears flowed down her face. Suddenly, he stepped forward and grabbed Second Brother Jiang's arm that was holding the silver needle.""Minister Jiang, be careful. I'll leave the Empress to you!”。

"Second Brother Jiang, you scumbag. Who do you think you are? Look at what the Empress has become? When the Empress recovers, she will definitely not let you off. You're a gambler, so why are you pretending to be a traveling doctor and swindling people? Of all the things you could have swindled, you managed to swindle your way to the Empress! You even shamelessly said that you know some medical skills. Get out of here, get out.”At this moment, the Empress's condition was indeed very critical. As an uncertified doctor, Second Brother Jiang could not afford to delay her at all. Moreover, in this critical situation, he hated these unreasonable guards the most. He flung his hand away and threw this scumbag out, letting her scream outside.

"I'll say it one last time. Everyone, get out!”Everyone? A few servants at the side were dumbfounded as they looked at the Emperor who had just entered the door. They had not even had the time to greet him. Does this include His Majesty? This Minister Jiang was too bold. They looked at Second Brother Jiang in disbelief. However, Second Brother Jiang was quickly and steadily applying acupuncture on the Empress, so he couldn't see anything happening in the outside world.

"Does this include His Majesty?”Empress Jiang said coldly and angrily. "The matter is urgent. Those who don't want the Empress to die, get out! And close the door." Second Brother Jiang didn't even raise his head as he skillfully inserted the silver needles into the Empress's vital acupoints.

Di Xin's eyes narrowed as he clenched his fists behind his back. The onlookers felt the killing intent from His Majesty and suddenly prostrated on the ground, their bodies trembling. Even the maid was so frightened that her face turned pale and she could not say a word. However, after a while, the killing intent around Di Xin gradually faded. He didn't do anything to Second Brother Jiang, who had offended him in public. He turned around and left the room obediently.

Everyone looked incredulously at His Majesty's departing back, but they did not dare to delay. They got up and nimbly left the door. The tears on the maid's face were like broken beads. She didn't know whether it was because she was worried about the Empress's illness or because she was too jealous that the Emperor had given Second Brother Jiang so much preferential treatment again and again. This was an unexpected tolerance that she didn't dare to dream of.

"Minister Jiang, you'd better pray that the Empress is alright. Otherwise, Chaoge will kill you, let alone me!”With that, His Majesty stormed out of the door. With a bang, the door was closed. Second Brother Jiang had locked himself and the Empress inside for more than an hour, but they still hadn't come out. Everyone was waiting outside, including those who were watching the show.

When they found out that the Empress was vomiting blood, the maidservants had already sent people to invite the Divine Hands in the palace. However, when they heard that this matter involved Second Jiang, who had recently been favored by the Emperor, the Divine Hands Gate pushed and gave way. They knew humility and were afraid of causing unnecessary trouble. None of the Divine Hands were willing to come. In the end, Baili Shengshou, who had been treating the Empress, could not refuse and could only come over.

"Baili Shengshou, what took you so long?”As soon as she entered, she was questioned by the maid,"Noble Wang in the palace suddenly fell ill and was delayed. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." I wonder how the Empress's condition is now?”"The Empress had been vomiting blood. After Second Brother Jiang came, he chased all of us out and left him alone inside. None of us know what the current situation is.”the maid said with a sobbing tone.

"I wonder what medicine the empress took when she was unwell. Could you show it to me?”With Empress Jiang around, Baili Shengshou didn't dare to directly ask Second Brother Jiang what medicine he had prescribed for the Empress. He could only ask in a reserved manner. The maidservant hated Second Brother Jiang. She hoped that Baili Shengshou would find out the main reason why the Empress vomited blood. She also hoped that this situation was caused by taking Second Brother Jiang's medicine. She quickly found the medicine that Second Brother Jiang had left for the Empress and gave it to Baili Shengshou.

Baili Shengshou looked at it for a long time but could not see anything."This palace maid, are you sure that this is the medicine Second Brother Jiang prescribed for the Empress?”

"Baili Shengshou, is it because the Empress ate this medicine that she kept vomiting blood?" The maid hurriedly replied. What kind of medicine was this? Is it harmful to the Empress?" Baili Shengshou carefully looked at the small pill in his hand again. He crushed it and placed it on his fingertips to feel for it. He smelled it and tasted it. His expression was serious and he did not speak for a long time.

"I knew it. Although Minister Jiang is a vassal of the Lu Kingdom and is good at stealing and swindling, I don't think I've heard of him treating people. How can a person who doesn't know medicine casually diagnose people's pulse and prescribe medicine? Your Majesty, please let Minister Jiang come out! He wondered how the Empress's condition would be after that fellow had been in there for so long.”At this moment, the maid had already regained her senses and was no longer as reckless as Second Brother Jiang when he first entered the door.

"Oh? Baili Shengshou, do you think so too?”Di Xin ignored the maid and asked Baili Shengshou. Although Baili Shengshou was an old sage who had been in the Imperial Hospital for many years, he was a little timid in front of the Emperor like many others."Your Majesty, this lowly official has indeed never heard or seen the medicine that High Official Jiang used. Logically speaking, this kind of medicine should never be given to anyone casually, especially to someone as precious as the Empress.”

Baili Shengshou had just finished speaking when the door to the inner room opened with a creak. Second Brother Jiang, who was sweating profusely and looked a little tired, walked out. Second Brother Jiang replied sarcastically," Baili Shengshou, there are many things you haven't seen. It doesn't mean that they can't exist. Do you want others to be frogs at the bottom of a well with you because your medical skills are bad?" The Empress was found to have been poisoned for many years. Someone would definitely be desperate. As for this desperate person! It had been so many years and he still hadn't found out. He definitely wasn't simple. He could also be said to be the person who had deceived the Empress the most! What kind of person fooled the Empress the most and yet didn't realize it after so long? Hehe!" The maid quickly rushed into the inner room and saw the pale-faced Empress lying motionless on the bed.

"Minister Jiang, what did you do to the Empress this time?”Second Brother Jiang ignored the maid and treated her as an invisible person. Seeing Di Xin sitting on the throne, he walked up and said,"Your Majesty, the Empress's condition has stabilized. She is now out of danger.”

"Second Brother Jiang, even Baili Shengshou suspects that my Empress is vomiting blood because she took your medicine. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?”Di Xin's voice was very soft, but Second Brother Jiang could feel the familiar dangerous aura from the Emperor again. He was just like everyone else, doubting himself!

Second Brother Jiang sneered and turned to Baili Shengshou.""Saint Baili, medicine is profound and there are many things you haven't seen before. The Empress was poisoned ten years ago, so I believe Saint Baili already knew about it. Is he really unable to find out or is he hiding something even though he knows? Could Baili Shengshou really not find out? This was probably unheard of!”Baili Shengshou's goatee curled up, and his face turned pale. A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. Second Brother Jiang was very satisfied with Baili Shengshou's reaction.

"Does Baili Shengshou not even know about the Yellow Emperor and Shennong?”His tone was full of disdain and mockery. Second Brother Jiang had already explained a lot to Di Xin with just a few simple questions. Even Baili Shengshou was at a loss. Even if he explained it to Di Xin, he might not understand.

Baili Shengshou's face turned pale again, but he could only suppress the displeasure in his heart due to Second Brother Jiang's status and did not dare to say anything. Elder Jiang was extremely smug and ignored Baili Shengshou. He turned to the maid." I'll have to trouble this nagging palace maid to bring me all the medicines the Empress has taken tonight. I want to check them one by one."”

The maid had already determined that the Empress had taken Second Brother Jiang's medicine. Even if it wasn't, she was determined to pin the blame on Second Brother Jiang."Minister Jiang, the Empress only took the medicine you gave her. Do you still need me to show it to you again?”

"This palace maid auntie, you have to take responsibility for every word you say at this time. Are you sure?”Second Brother Jiang said with a smile. Baili Shengshou's slightly angry face suddenly flashed with a trace of strangeness. The maid was still very firm and did not relent. She smiled and said,"Minister Jiang, I am very sure that the Empress only took the medicine you gave her. Are you trying to hint to this servant that she needs to do something by interrogating her so aggressively?”This palace maid really wouldn't shed tears until she saw the coffin.

Since that's the case, I'll let you see what it means to not have a chance to cry even if you see a coffin! "Thousand-year-old purple ginseng, fleeceflower root, Chinese Angelica, Chinese thorowax root, yellow sage root, cimicifuga root, coptis root, common Anemone root…palace maid, do you need me to tell you all the ingredients of the prescription? The Empress has been taking Essence Cultivating Soup recently, why didn't you say so earlier? They were still chattering away to hide the possibility that the Empress had consumed something else!”

Godly! How did this coward know the ingredients of the herbs that the Empress ate every day? Could he really guess it? This idiot Second Brother Jiang was actually able to tell that the Empress had been consuming the Essence Cultivating Soup recently. The onlookers were a little surprised. Even Empress Jiang, who had narrowly escaped death, suddenly looked at Second Brother Jiang with a strange light in her eyes. After the shock, the maid gloated."Minister Jiang, aren't you a doctor? Since you can tell that the Empress is taking the Essence Cultivating Soup, you should have been able to tell when you prescribed the medicine! Do you need me to tell you that you're so capable?”

Indeed, Second Brother Jiang should have noticed it when he prescribed the medicine for the Empress. However, the Essence Cultivating Soup was not considered a poison, so he had overlooked it. It was only when he examined the Empress that he realized that it was indeed his mistake.

"High Official Jiang, even if the Empress had consumed the Essence Cultivating Soup, this doesn't seem to have much to do with the Empress vomiting blood, right?”Baili Shengshou suddenly asked. It did not matter. Anyone who knew medicine knew that the Essence Nourishing Soup was a prescription for increasing qi and blood. It did not have any major side effects, and it was even more impossible for it to cause people to vomit blood. But it was not suitable. Some medicines should not be taken at the same time.

However, this was still not the key to causing the Empress to vomit blood."Minister Jiang, what are you trying to say? You're not trying to shirk responsibility, are you? But now that the Empress is fine, it doesn't matter even if you don't admit that the medicine you prescribed had a problem. In any case, His Majesty dotes on you. Even if others know about it, they won't dare to comment. Your Majesty, don't you think so?" The maid tried to use Empress Jiang to suppress Second Brother Jiang, but Di Xin ignored her. He was listening to every word Second Brother Jiang said with great interest, wanting to know how Second Brother Jiang was going to clear his name.

"Dare I ask who was in charge of brewing the Essence Cultivating Soup for the Empress?”Second Brother Jiang asked the servants serving the Empress.

"Replying to the High Official, this servant is responsible for suffering.”A maid with a high bun stood out."I'll have to trouble you to bring me the medicinal dregs and medicine pot that I survived tonight!”"Yes, sir!" With Feng Chang's status as a high-ranking official, the maidservant did not dare to delay and quickly went to get what Second Brother Jiang wanted. Baili Shengshou's expression became more and more strange.""Minister, anyone with some medical knowledge knows that this Essence Cultivating Soup is a nourishing soup. Is it necessary for you to check the dregs of the Essence Cultivating Soup?”

Second Brother Jiang glanced at Baili Shengshou, and a mysterious smile appeared on his serious face. He did not say anything else. Baili Shengshou was even more confused, but for some reason, a thin layer of cold sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead."Minister Jiang, you probably don't know, right? Baili Shengshou's medical skills are very outstanding in our Yinshang Empire. His ranking in the medical world is second only to the Lu Kingdom's Wuxian Shengshou.”

The Sacred Hand of Witchcraft was Second Brother Jiang's Sacred Hand of the Lu Kingdom's Chief. The maid was using Baili Shengshou to pressure Second Brother Jiang and mock him! This girl, if you ignored her, she could still entertain herself by chirping non-stop in your ear. He had seen people with poor eyesight, but he had never seen someone with such poor eyesight. He was really too f * cking annoying.

"Second only to the Sacred Hand of Magus Xian? That Wu Xian is my disciple in the Lu Kingdom, so does that mean that this saint Bai Li can't compare to my disciple? This palace maid was a layman, so she might not know anything. Although she was ranked on par in the medical field, her ability was actually far apart.”The reason why Wu Xian was in the Lu Kingdom was to learn Second Brother Jiang's detoxification technique. Although Second Brother Jiang was not good at medicine, he spent a lot of effort to detoxify the poison. The main reason was that he was afraid of death. Secondly, detoxification was also the most practical thing. Wu Xian had seen his detoxification method and thought it was unusual, so he wanted to learn it. However, not long after, he left Yunwu City and went to Zhaoge as a hostage. When he returned to the Lu Kingdom, he could hardly remember what had happened. He only felt that Wu Xian was very familiar with that disciple. It was not until Wu Xian specially came to welcome him that he remembered that he had such a cheap disciple.

Second Brother Jiang took care of the maid with one sentence and didn't forget to bring Baili Shengshou along. When the onlookers walked into the Empress's inner room, Baili Shengshou's expression was extremely awkward. He nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, and the sweat on his forehead increased. The maid wanted to reply, but before she could, Second Brother Jiang suddenly added,""If this palace maid doesn't understand anything, you don't have to speak. Without you to adjust the atmosphere, these onlookers wouldn't feel depressed. After all, the Empress's illness is the most important thing now. Empress, don't you think so? Secondly, there was something wrong with this palace maid auntie. She hoped that the Empress would investigate. The reason why she kept using the excuse to stop the Empress from treating the poison was probably not simple! Secondly, it doesn't seem easy to prevent me from checking the dregs! There was also such a trusted palace maid who did not realize that the Lord had been poisoned. This matter was probably even more complicated!”

As Second Brother Jiang spoke, he suddenly turned to Empress Jiang. Originally, he had only wanted to deal with this annoying maid and anger her. He did not expect Empress Jiang to answer anything, but he did not expect Empress Jiang to reply with an expressionless " Mm." All of a sudden, the maid's face turned sour. Second Brother Jiang's originally extremely unhappy mood instantly cleared up. He looked at Empress Jiang with some joy and some gratitude.

Empress Jiang looked up slightly and coincidentally met Second Brother Jiang's gaze. Second Brother Jiang did not dare to look at Empress Jiang and seemingly unintentionally averted his eyes."Minister Jiang, I've brought everything you wanted!”Second Brother Jiang ordered the servant girl who went to get the dregs and medicine pot to come back and bring them to him.
