I am a miracle doctor in Dream of the Red Chamber

An Wuxia returned to Lin Ruhai again. Looking at the skinny and purple-faced Salt Inspector lying on the sickbed, he couldn't help but sweat in his palms.

Lin Ruhai said frankly: "Miss An, do you think this poison can be cured?!"

An Wuxia said calmly, "You and Queen Chen were both poisoned by the 'Blue Stone Water Heart', which is a highly toxic substance from deep sea aquatic creatures. It is still possible to detoxify, but the process is more complicated. If there is a mistake, all the previous efforts may be wasted. Therefore, if you want to detoxify this poison, not only special medicine is needed, but you and Queen Chen also need to work closely together."

Lin Ruhai coughed weakly, breathing heavily, and beads of sweat occasionally appeared on his purple forehead. "Miss An, I understand everything you said. But you said this poison is 'Blue Stone Water Heart', which comes from the aquatic creatures in the sea. Are you sure about this?"

An Wuxia looked at Lin Ruhai and said, "I am very sure."

Lin Ruhai pondered for a moment, "That's right, I think the poison must have been created by that group of foreigners colluding with the local salt merchants."

An Wuxia was puzzled: "Master Lin, you are the Imperial Inspector of Salt, responsible for collecting salt taxes, supervising salt merchants' monopoly, and inspecting and evaluating local salt officials. How could you be involved with foreigners for no reason?!"

Lin Ruhai said regretfully: "Miss An, this is a long story... I'm afraid... I won't live long! But I saw that Daiyu is doing well at her grandmother's house, and you have treated her well, so I feel relieved. I think the lady took you in because she respected the superb medical skills of the An family."

An Wuxia's eyes were filled with tears. "So Lord Lin knew everything. Have you ever thought that the deaths of Madam and the young master were so strange, there must be a conspiracy."

Lin Ruhai sighed deeply, "Of course I know this. That's why I agreed to let you accompany Daiyu to Rongguo Mansion. First, to ensure her safety, and second, you can also gain insight into the situation in the capital."

An Wuxia comforted him while eager to detoxify him. "Lord Lin loves his daughter dearly and has deep thoughts for Daiyu. However, what I need to do now is to help you and Queen Chen get rid of the poison as soon as possible. So, I hope you can tell me as much as possible about what you know, so that I can detoxify you."

Lin Ruhai shook his head in disappointment. "Miss An, since the poison in the blue stone water came from foreigners, there is no cure for it!"

An Wuxia encouraged him, "Lord Lin, please trust our national doctor An. I will definitely help you and the queen recover."

Lin Ruhai had already lost confidence. "Miss An, I know you and your family have already fled to other parts of the world, so I just want you to grow up safely with Daiyu in the future, and I don't want you to be involved in meaningless disputes."

An Wuxia told him frankly, "Lord Lin, since you know everything about me, I will no longer hide anything from you. The reason you are still alive is because the deposed crown prince and the third prince have been sending the Meteor Army to protect you in secret."

Lin Ruhai gently closed his eyes, "Of course I know this, but it's a pity that I will disappoint the former prince."

An Wuxia was eager to know everything about the person who poisoned her. "Master Lin, please tell me everything you know in time, so that I can find an antidote as soon as possible. Otherwise, the longer I wait, the more toxic the poison will be, and the smaller the chance of detoxification will be."

Lin Ruhai had already decided to give up. He was only worried about Daiyu's future. "No need! Miss An, you must help me cure Daiyu, and then accompany her as she grows up, and let her grandmother find a good home for her."

An Wuxia tried his best to persuade Lin Ruhai not to give up easily. "Lord Lin, if I say that the Third Prince Qi Zhen was saved by me using the unique secret medicine treasured by the An family, would you believe it?!"

Lin Ruhai's dull eyes suddenly brightened. "The former crown prince... the third prince Qi Zhen... there have been rumors that he died of a serious illness some time ago... it was you?!... no wonder he is still alive."

An Wuxia looked at the salt inspector with great certainty, giving him hope and confidence. "Yes, that's right. Just before Daiyu left for the capital, I accidentally encountered Qi Zhen, who was seriously injured and poisoned. I used the unique secret medicine that our An family treasured and saved his life!"

Lin Ruhai then asked, "But Miss An, this time the poison was given by Westerners! Even if the An family's medical skills are amazing, I'm afraid it won't help."

An Wuxia said earnestly, "Master Lin, don't worry. I am the eldest daughter of the An family. Our family has an ancestral secret book "Saving the World and Peace", and we also have a unique collection of secret medicines. Don't give up until the last minute. You must cheer up for Daiyu."

Lin Ruhai was deeply moved. "Well, since Miss An is so kind-hearted and unyielding, I will tell her everything I know."

An Wuxia was pleasantly surprised. "I'm really looking forward to your telling me. I'm all ears."

Lin Ruhai said: "Since I have served as the Imperial Salt Inspector for many years, I have a deep understanding of the salt merchants and salt officials. These salt merchants and salt officials colluded with each other and secretly sold our Dayao salt to foreigners. After they transported it overseas to make huge profits, they would give many benefits to the salt merchants and salt officials. I have been doing my best to crack down on this behavior, but I angered these foreigners, and they actually teamed up to murder me and my family."

An Wuxia was puzzled: "So where did this group of foreigners come from?!"

Lin Ruhai replied: "As far as I know, they come from overseas, from the Portuguese, a country on the Atlantic coast. A small number of these people have lived on the borders of our Dayao and on the islands in the sea for a long time, and intermarried with the locals to form a new tribe."

An Wuxia said with certainty: "Since this poison comes from deep-sea animals, they must be very familiar with marine animals."

Lin Ruhai continued, "Also, this group of foreigners are not afraid of the resistance from the imperial court. They even claimed that they have their own people in the imperial court of Dayao. They don't take us, the local officials and the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, seriously at all."

An Wuxia deduced, "This is an important clue. It means that someone in our Dayao court is colluding with foreign enemies and working in cahoots with them for personal gain."

Lin Ruhai nodded and said with certainty: "I have sent people to investigate in detail and learned that our Great Yao's Concubine Mu originally came from the extinct tribe on the border islands...but I have never had any evidence. Moreover, Concubine Mu is currently the only favorite of the emperor, and the harem is like a mere formality."

An Wuxia was even more certain at this time, "Lord Lin, your speculation is absolutely correct. Queen Chen was poisoned by Concubine Mu. It seems that if we want to detoxify, we still need the help of Concubine Mu and these foreigners. Maybe they have the antidote."

Lin Ruhai said indignantly: "But they are slaughtering the court, eliminating dissidents, and preparing for the Sixth Prince to ascend the throne. How can they easily help us?"

An Wuxia said righteously: "Lord Lin, everything depends on human efforts. Since I, An Wuxia, am sure to rescue you and Queen Chen, I am not afraid of disturbing this dark court! Even if I die, I will not be ashamed of the people of the world! Besides, I rescued the pillars of the country, so I have no regrets in death!"

Lin Ruhai's eyes flashed with power, like a dying flame suddenly flaring up again. He forced himself to sit up and said excitedly, "Miss An... have you... thought it through?!"

Before An Wuxia could answer, the shadow of the Third Prince Qi Zhen came in from the window. "Tanhua Lin, not only has Miss An thought it through, but I have thought it through too. We will definitely get rid of the treacherous villains as soon as possible, turn the tide, and return a clear and bright sky to the people of Dayao."

Lin Ruhai was extremely excited, "Crown Prince!...The Third Prince!" Lin Ruhai wanted to get out of bed and salute.

Qi Zhen was deeply worried about Lin Ruhai, fearing that something might happen to him. "You are poisoned, don't move!"

An Wuxia was confused at this moment, "Why did the Third Prince suddenly appear?!"

Qi Zhen still smiled calmly, but at this moment, he had a bit of a rogue look in his eyes, looking at An Wuxia with a wicked sidelong glance. "Xian Shu Miao Shou accompanied the daughter of the Lin family back to Yangzhou, so of course I have to come."

An Wuxia was so focused on saving people that she didn't notice his evil thoughts. "You came at the right time. The poison used by the Queen and Lord Lin was 'Blue Stone Water Heart', which comes from the poison of marine animals. Let's go and discuss the antidote now."

After hearing this, the Third Prince pondered for a moment and said, "Concubine Mu is from a frontier island. Her tribe has a distant blood relationship with the Portuguese. These Portuguese merchants would unscrupulously enter our country to sell illegal salt for huge profits, and then help the concubine and her son to build an invincible navy."

An Wuxia is currently most concerned about Lin Ruhai's physical condition. "Third Prince, let Lord Lin rest first. This is not the place to discuss confidential matters."

Qi Zhen smiled brightly this time and said calmly, "Don't worry. With the Meteor Army here, it will be extremely difficult for the Shadowless Army to make any big moves. Miss An, please follow me."

So, the two of them went to a secret and safe place together to discuss the next plan. They had to plan carefully and not allow any mistakes.

Only in this way can we help Empress Chen and the Imperial Salt Inspector to remove the poison of "Blue Stone Water Heart" as soon as possible and continue to reverse the situation of the entire Dayao court.
