"Doctor Zheng, it's not that your medical skills are problematic, but Madam Qi has been poisoned, not sick. She has just started to take effect, and you can't tell by just taking her pulse. But by the time you can tell, it will probably be too late."

Ye Jintang strode into the room. She didn't waste time with everyone. She looked at Ding Xinji and said bluntly, "General Ding, Madam Qi was poisoned in my Qin Palace. I brought the antidote. Give Madam Qi the antidote first, and I will slowly tell you what happened."

Although the anxious Ding Xinji had many doubts in his mind at this moment, he could only suppress them for the time being and save people first.

"My lady, please come in."

Ding Xinji personally took Ye Jintang into the inner room.

As soon as Ye Jintang entered the room, he saw Madam Qi, who was in pain, lying on the bed with sweat all over her forehead. There were several painful spots on her body, which made her turn over and over in pain.

"Liuli, take the detoxification pills and detoxification water and give them to Madam Qi."

I have to say that Madam Qi was a strong-willed person. Even though she felt so uncomfortable all over, she didn't even utter a word.

Liuli and Nanny Qu helped Madam Qi take the antidote.

"Jintang, why are you here?"

Only then did Mrs. Qi notice that Ye Jintang had arrived at some point in time.

"I can't be here. My sister is too deeply poisoned. I'm afraid even the Golden Immortal can't help her. But fortunately, I arrived in time."

After Madam Qi took the antidote, the pain in her body was immediately relieved a lot. When she lay down again, her head almost didn't hurt anymore.

"Jintang, the antidote you gave me is amazing. My headache is gone in just a short while."

Before Ye Jintang could speak, Ding Xinji, who was standing beside her and looking extremely nervous, stepped forward and held Madam Qi's hand tightly and said with concern, "Yu Niang, don't lie to me. Even the most powerful antidote will not work in such a short time. If you still feel pain, shout it out, don't bear it yourself."

Ding Xinji had just seen Qi Yu Niang's appearance as the poison took effect. She was sweating all over from the pain. How could she be healed in just a few breaths?

"General, I didn't lie to you. The antidote Jintang brought is so effective. My legs and head don't hurt anymore. The pain all over my body just now seemed like a dream."

As she spoke, Madam Qi wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"If I wasn't still covered in sweat, I would have thought I was hallucinating."

After hearing what Madam Qi said, Ding Xinji finally believed that the antidote given by Ye Jintang was really effective.

"Thank you for the medicine, Madam."

Ding Xinji stood up and saluted towards Ye Jintang.

Ye Jintang was so frightened that he quickly turned his body to the side and only accepted half of the greeting.

Ding Xinji is much older than Ye Jintang, so she doesn't feel comfortable accepting all the gifts from her.

"General Ding, there's no need to be so polite. Speaking of this matter, it was because of me that the lady was poisoned."

Ye Jintang did not hide it from the two and told them directly that Noble Consort Dehui had ordered others to poison her.

"If it weren't for my sister coming to see me, I wouldn't have suffered this misfortune. I will definitely come to your house with a generous gift to apologize someday. I came here in a hurry today."

Ye Jintang spread her hands helplessly. It was her first time to come to the general's mansion and she came empty-handed. She was somewhat embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, can you trust that Mu Xiang? This matter involves the Imperial Concubine, and it is no small matter."

"I came to the General's Mansion in a hurry and have already handed the wood fragrance to the prince for disposal. I dare not say whether it is true or not, but the poison of Linggu Powder is extremely rare and not everyone can have it."

What Ye Jintang meant was that Linggu Powder was 100% ordered by Imperial Noble Consort Dehui, and no one else was as capable as Imperial Noble Consort Dehui to get Linggu Powder.

Ye Jintang did not avoid people when talking to Ding Xinji, and the two imperial doctors were even in the room.

Doctor Zheng stood at the door, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible. At this moment, he wished he could plug his ears to prevent himself from listening to these royal gossips.

"Doctor Zheng, please feel Madam's pulse and see if she is normal now."

"Yes, I will check Madam Qi's pulse right away."

Doctor Zheng, who was named by Ye Jintang, stepped forward and took Madam Qi's pulse.

"It's really strange. Madam Qi's pulse was so weak just now that it was almost undetectable, but it recovered in just a moment, and it's even quite strong."

Doctor Zheng was also a little confused at this moment. Other things could be faked, but a person's pulse could not be faked.

"I wonder if Your Majesty can tell me what kind of poison Madam Qi was poisoned with to cause such symptoms."

Doctor Zheng knew that this matter involved Imperial Noble Consort Dehui, so he shouldn't have asked. However, he was so curious that he couldn't help but ask.

"I wonder if Doctor Zheng knows about Linggu Grass?"

"Of course I know. Linggu grass is a top-grade medicinal herb for healing. Linggu grass of a better year can be sold for a hundred taels of silver per pound."

"In addition to being used as a healing herb, Linggu Grass can also be made into a poison called Linggu Powder. Anyone who takes Linggu Powder will have their blood slowly stop flowing and eventually solidify within 12 hours."

Doctor Zheng, who had worked at the Imperial Hospital for many years, pondered for a while after hearing what Ye Jintang said, and then he sighed, "It is said that medicine and poison are one. Today, I have really seen that the same medicinal material can have such a big difference when used in different prescriptions."

"Dr. Zheng is obsessed with medicine, so it's understandable that he knows less about poisons."

"I am so ashamed. If the Madam had not been here today, I would not have been able to save Madam Qi with my abilities."

Doctor Zheng and another doctor saluted Ding Xinji and said, "General Ding, there is nothing for me to do here. I will leave first."

"Okay, please make the trip."

After a few polite words, Doctor Zheng and the other doctor left first. Ye Jintang asked Liuli to check Madam Qi's pulse again, and after confirming that she was fine, she also prepared to get up and leave, as there were still a lot of things waiting for her at the Prince Qin's Mansion.

"Sister, I'll come to see you another day."

"No, I'd better go to the Qin Palace some other day. The general said he was going to the mountains to hunt in a few days. Let's see what animals the general can hunt and then we can go to your house to have a barbecue together."

Today, someone almost died because of food, but Madam Qi, the person involved, was not afraid at all and even wanted to go to Prince Qin's Mansion. Wasn't she afraid of being poisoned?

"As long as Sister is willing to come, I will definitely treat her with the best wine and food."

"Then it's settled."

It just so happened that Madam Qi was unable to see Ye Jintang off when he came out, so this task fell on Ding Xinji.

"Thank you for your help today, Madam."

Ding Xinji was not Madam Qi. When he learned that it was Imperial Noble Consort Dehui who poisoned him, he went over the matter several times in his mind.

If Ye Jintang did not take action today and let Madam Qi die directly, and then Ye Jintang produced evidence that Imperial Noble Consort Dehui poisoned her, it would actually be most beneficial to the Prince of Qin's Mansion.

Given how much he dotes on his wife, he would definitely fight to the death with Imperial Noble Consort Dehui. Imperial Noble Consort Dehui's power would be damaged, and the biggest beneficiary would be the Prince of Qin's Mansion.

But Ye Jintang did not do so. When she learned that Madam Qi was poisoned, she ran to save her without saying a word. Ding Xinji accepted this kindness.
