Quick Wear: Random Cheats

Chapter 17 The Princess Takes the Blame and is Granted Death (17)

Doctor Wang didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, he seemed to have finally found someone to communicate with. He said rather depressedly:
"Who says it's not?

I am so unlucky that I have to be the imperial physician in Prince Lu's Palace. If I had known this earlier, I should have resigned early, even if it would be to become a traveling doctor. If I could cure patients as a traveling doctor, who wouldn't be grateful?

It’s not like here, where I met King Lu two or three times in total.

This was the first time I had treatment today...

As a result, my head was hanging."

"Wait, wait, wait, could it be that you, Doctor Wang, were also recently transferred from the capital like Butler Dong?"

Zhou Hui had just arrived here not long ago. He only knew that many people in Prince Lu's Mansion had disappeared or been replaced, but he didn't know who was replaced. When he heard Doctor Wang say that he had only seen Prince Lu two or three times in total, and this was his first time treating him today, he immediately thought that he had just arrived as well.

Just sent from the capital by Emperor Tianwu.

I immediately felt that he was less suspicious.

"That's not the case. His Highness Prince Lu has been in this vassal state for a few years, and I've been here for a few years now. The key point is that Prince Lu never let us see him when he was sick before. He always made elixirs to treat his illnesses himself. Although the process was a bit bumpy, Prince Lu did not eat himself to death, and he recovered every time he was sick.

So he became more and more confident in his alchemy skills.

He even compared himself to Ge Zu.

It was because of this that the incident you understand happened, which indirectly led to the death of Princess Lu. When the Chief Secretary and others were executed a few years ago, I was almost scared to death."

Doctor Wang immediately realized that Zhou Hui had misunderstood.

And explain immediately.

"Alchemy, Prince Lu often takes pills!"

Hearing this, Zhou Hui suddenly became a little excited. He squatted down again and pulled out Prince Lu's arm, pointing at the blue, purple or black spots on Prince Lu's arm and said:
"Doctor Wang, look, these spots on his body look like the ones caused by taking too many elixirs and poison. I've seen similar spots on Taoist priests in the capital, but their spots were not as severe as this.

It’s not that deep and you’re already dead.”

"Although logically, these spots should appear gradually, and if too many people appear at the same time, they will die, but they are indeed similar, just a little darker."

Doctor Wang was not surprised at all.

After all, his medical skills are real, not fake:

"I know, but even if these spots might be caused by taking too many pills, that's not normal, because I saw these spots with my own eyes. They suddenly appeared in an instant, or at most within a few moments.

At the same time, although Prince Lu's body was now riddled with wounds, there was indeed no more poison left. It felt as if all the poison in his body had been forced onto his skin.

What exactly causes the tongue and hands to turn into pig's trotters?
He couldn't find anything by taking her pulse.

But skin problems can still be inferred. Although we cannot understand it, we can figure out what the situation is.

"Could it be that there's something wrong with the pills that Prince Lu took?"

"There are definitely problems, but I don't know what they are. The recipe for Prince Lu's elixir is top secret, known only to him. I only know it must contain things like cinnabar, as well as human heart blood, fetal heart, liver, and bone marrow, as well as tiger bones, leopard fetuses, and bear bile.

I don’t know the specific formula or refining method!”

"It's so damned!"

"It's no use even if you deserve to die. His Majesty has already made his decision. Who dares to question it? Even during this investigation into Prince Lu's possession, we absolutely cannot bring up past issues. I think you're well aware of this, so I don't need to elaborate."

"I still have some sense of propriety."

When do people begin to mature? Perhaps it's when they realize the darkness of society and feel powerless to do anything about it. The saying "poor children grow up early" simply means they realize this earlier. Zhou Hui is no longer young, so naturally he understands this. He must still be as intolerant of darkness as he was in his youth.

He probably died in prison a long time ago.

After that, neither Zhou Hui nor Doctor Wang said anything more. After a moment of silence, Zhou Hui said goodbye and left, quickly rushing back to the county magistrate's mansion. He told Zhai Hongxia, who was still awake, everything he had learned, seen with his own eyes, and touched with his own hands.

Immediately afterwards, Zhai Hongxia also fell silent.

If it was just a trick, he would undoubtedly still have confidence in himself, but if it wasn't, then he was truly unsure. At this moment, he even began to think about whether to die suddenly, but he had worked so hard to climb to his current position, and he really didn't want to accept it.

Finally, he specially lit a stick of incense to the portrait of Confucius and Emperor Wenchang, and decided to give it a try.

Even if ghosts and gods really exist, we must catch them!
Besides, ghosts and gods may not really exist. Maybe he just used some strange tricks that they don’t know about.

Some of the cases I encountered in the past seemed very magical, like the work of ghosts and gods, without knowing the inside story and specific methods, but in the end I successfully solved the case and deciphered the mystery.

But I just think it’s ridiculous!!!

This time, maybe it will be the same.

So Zhai Hongxia finally fell asleep at midnight thanks to his firm belief.

……

And where is Ding Shui at this time?

She is in the capital, yes, she went to the capital!

The so-called traveling a thousand miles at night means that the soul moves very fast at night. It is no problem to travel a thousand miles or even tens of thousands of miles at night, as long as the soul is strong enough. After all, if it is not strong, it may be scattered by a strong wind.

Ding Shui's soul strength is definitely enough.

At this moment, she was somewhat thankful that she had not chosen to merge with her body and try to revive herself. After all, if she had carried a body with her, it would have been difficult to travel a hundred miles a day, not to mention the dangers she might encounter along the way, such as wild beasts, checkpoints, household registration inspections, and pirates.

It may take even half a month to reach the capital.

It’s not like now, it arrives in less than an hour.

Upon arriving in the capital, Ding Shui didn't rush to the palace. Instead, she returned home to the Shuguo Mansion. After marrying and following the Prince of Lu to his fiefdom, she had never been able to return home again. After all, a prince could not return to the capital without an imperial decree. If the Prince of Lu hadn't committed so many sins, and had them exposed, it would have been impossible for him to return to the capital twice in just five or six years. The previous time he returned was to be questioned.

The original body does not need to accompany.

He took the blame the last time, so there was no need for her to accompany him.

Directly granting the death penalty in Prince Lu's Palace has the lowest risk.

It was a pity for the original body to have her parents send off their children without even being able to see them. That was why Ding Shui had specially come back overnight. When she arrived at the door, although she felt a little homesick, Ding Shui still followed her original body's memory and quickly went to her mother's yard first.

It was clearly midnight, but the lights in the yard were still on.

Normally, according to her mother's health-conscious nature, she should have fallen asleep two hours ago. Now she has been staying up all night with the lamp on, probably because she is thinking about herself.

Go through the wall and into the house.

Ding Shui's eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Her mother, Zhang Xia, was holding her tablet with red and swollen eyes. She sat alone on a cushion under the statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the Buddhist hall, reciting the Ksitigarbha Sutra sadly.
