The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Chapter 650: Counterattack against Doctor Wu and his daughter

Doctor Shi shuddered and fell to his knees. "Empress, this poison is colorless and tasteless. It only reveals its overbearing medicinal properties after the poison takes effect. And this is Beihan's mysterious toxin. It is not easy for me to find it out now."

"Beihan!" The queen was immediately furious. The only people from Beihan who had been with the prince recently were Doctor Wu and his daughter!

The emperor slammed the table and glared at Doctor Wu and Wu Mingwei who were being escorted here by the imperial guards.

"Traitor! Tell me what's going on! Why are you trying to harm the prince?"

When the prince suddenly fell ill some time ago, the queen sent Doctor Li to check the medicine prescribed for the prince by Doctor Wu and his daughter.

What the Queen didn't know was that the Crown Prince was stabbed with a poison needle by Yun Mujiu after he had gone to have a meal at Yuegui Tower, and that's when the Crown Prince suddenly became unwell.

Imperial Physician Li could not find any problem with the medicines prescribed by Doctor Wu and his daughter, but the Queen still felt uneasy.

So before the tea party, she sent Doctor Shi to check the medicines that Doctor Wu and his daughter usually prescribed for the prince, and the results of the examination proved that there was nothing wrong with these medicines.

The prince's sudden health problem seemed to be just a simple accident.

Now the prince is unwell again, and his symptoms are becoming more serious, and Doctor Shi has discovered that the prince has been poisoned by Beihan.

The emperor patted the back of the queen's hand to comfort her.

"Doctor Shi, you are talking nonsense! How could I possibly harm the prince?" Doctor Wu looked haggard and his hair was messy, but his tone of voice when he questioned Doctor Shi was very powerful.

"What nonsense am I talking about!" Doctor Shi snorted coldly, "Besides, I only said it was Beihan's mysterious poison, I didn't say it was you who killed the prince!" Doctor Shi looked at the queen, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that Doctor Wu is guilty, right?"

"You!" Doctor Wu was exhausted, and he obviously didn't expect that his hasty words would go wrong. After a pause, he said loudly: "Among the people present, only Mingwei and I are from Beihan. When you said that the prince was poisoned by Beihan, wasn't that a disguised reference to us, father and daughter?"

"That's not what I meant. You understood it that way." Doctor Shi tilted his head, obviously not wanting to argue too much with Doctor Wu, otherwise he would become the unreasonable party from being the reasonable party.

Wu Mingwei raised her head, her eyes were bloodshot, and she said weakly, "Doctor Shi, I know that you dislike us because we are both doctors. But you can't frame us without reason."

"Shut up!" Doctor Shi was really angry. He hated Doctor Wu and his daughter, but it was definitely not because he was in competition with them. "I never meant that! I am a doctor, working with you to treat His Majesty the Crane King. How can Miss Wu belittle my professional ethics like this!"

"That's enough." After listening to the explanations of both parties, the Emperor asked, "Doctor Shi, how is the Crown Prince?"

"Your Majesty, it's a good thing that you sent me to guard the prince's residence. I was able to discover the prince's poison in time. Otherwise, there would be no useful doctor in the prince's residence, and the prince would have died of poison!"

The queen sat on the edge of the bed and felt the prince's forehead: "The prince is still running a high fever. Also, has the prince's poison been cured?"

"Your Majesty, I have prescribed a lot of medicine, and the prince's fever has subsided a little. After drinking some soup, I believe that the prince's fever will be completely gone. As for the poison in the prince, I have tried my best to suppress the disordered toxins in the prince's body, but this poison is overbearing and difficult to deal with. I am afraid that I still need some time to consult medical books to completely detoxify the prince!"

The emperor frowned, and the queen confessed that she had sent Imperial Physician Li and Imperial Physician Shi to check the medicine the prince was taking.

The Emperor asked Doctor Shi, "Have you found any problem with the prince's medicine?"

Doctor Shi was waiting for the emperor to say this, and quickly replied: "Your Majesty, I have previously checked the medicines that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince takes every day, but I have never found any problems. Today, the Crown Prince was poisoned, and I took great pains to check the poisonous blood that the Crown Prince vomited, and only then did I find out that the Crown Prince was poisoned by Beihan's ice grass."

"What is ice grass poison?"

"Your Majesty, this poison is extracted from the ice grass that is unique to the North Cold. It will become toxic when it reacts with certain drugs."

"Oh..." The emperor glanced at the prince, "So, the medicine the prince took contains that specific medicine."

"Your Majesty is wise." Doctor Shi hurriedly brought over the medicine residue that the prince had used recently and picked up the residue.

"This medicine contains a refreshing rootless fruit that can neutralize the bitter taste of the medicine. However, the prince has been taking the rootless fruit for a long time, and recently Doctor Wu may have added colorless and odorless ice grass liquid to the prince. This caused the ice grass and the rootless fruit to react, causing the prince's body to become depleted instantly, and his life may be in danger."

Doctor Wu never thought that Doctor Shi secretly kept the medicine he prescribed for the prince every day.

I was so angry that I yelled, "What nonsense are you talking about! I did prescribe the herb of radix aconitifolia, but I didn't use wheatgrass."

The emperor said coldly: "Doctor Wu, are you sure you didn't use ice grass?"

The queen's eyes showed a hint of threat, "If you two, father and daughter, deceive the emperor, then the emperor and I will send you to death."

Doctor Wu and his daughter felt a growing headache. Why did they feel that the scene before them was familiar? They both replied in unison: "We, the common people, really did not give the prince ice grass!"

Doctor Shi then said, "The prince was poisoned by ice grass. Only the rootless fruit can trigger the toxicity of ice grass. You are the one who prescribed the medicine for the prince."

"Because ice grass is colorless and odorless, and it evaporates easily when it turns into liquid, I have no way of judging whether there is ice grass in the medicine residue. But I am sure that you must have used some means to let the prince come into contact with ice grass, otherwise how could the prince be poisoned by ice grass?"

Doctor Wu and his daughter suddenly had an idea and thought of a scene at the same time. At that time, Wu Mingwei used a similar method to kill Yun Mujiu in Ye Mansion.

In order to get rid of suspicion, regardless of whether their guess was true or not, he shouted loudly: "We are being wronged! We used the drug interaction method to harm Princess Ye before, and this time Princess Ye must be using the same trick to harm us!"

The queen laughed in anger: "Princess Ye has been staying in the Ye Mansion all this time, how could she possibly harm the prince? The prince had already been poisoned before the tea party, and Princess Ye had no contact with the prince at that time."

Doctor Shi curled his lips and said, "Even if Princess Ye wanted to harm the prince, the princess has never examined the prince, so how could she get close to him and have the opportunity to harm him? On the contrary, you and your daughter often come to see the prince for follow-up visits, and only you have the opportunity to come into contact with the prince's medicine!"

"Princess Ye is not from Beihan, so how could she know Beihan's secret techniques?" The emperor wanted to accuse Yun Mujiu, but he couldn't find a reason.

The emperor looked coldly, "Since you say it's an injustice, then show me the evidence."

However, Doctor Wu and his daughter had no evidence to prove their claims.

At this time, Doctor Shi was staring at the sachets of Doctor Wu and his daughter, and the emperor and empress also noticed this.

Everything was just as Yun Mujiu expected. She was going to return the favor to Doctor Wu and his daughter just as they had framed her! Although this move was a loss, Yun Mujiu never claimed to be a kind person, so she felt at ease to fight back in the same way.

Yun Mujiu has betrayed Doctor Wu and his daughter. Now it remains to be seen what will become of Doctor Wu and his daughter...
