When the young imperial physician arrived, he already knew the seriousness of the matter and said that he was the young princess's personal bodyguard.

Then, at Jiang Mengrou's suggestion, he carried Xiao Mingyue with him wherever he went to dispel other people's suspicions.

Later, when Jiang Mengrou told everyone that she had a message from the empress dowager to tell the old lady alone, Mingyue seized the opportunity and insisted on staying with the old lady, so the young doctor also stayed.

The old lady had long seen through the mother and daughter's little tricks, and she watched with amusement without saying anything.

Jiang Mengrou was a little embarrassed. "Aunt, this is the son of the director of the Imperial Hospital. His medical skills are certainly not bad. Can you let him take your pulse again?"

The old lady didn't say anything, but nodded. She knew it in her heart. She had been in good health before, but how come she suddenly felt drained in the past month or two?

With permission, the young imperial physician Lin Jiping immediately stepped forward to take the patient's pulse.

Xiao Mingyue didn't dare to breathe. She held Jiang Mengrou's hand, her palms sweating with nervousness.

The young doctor frowned, and asked from time to time, "How could this be?", and then sneered, "What a cruel heart!"

Finally, he shook his head, but his expression was much more relaxed.

Seeing the three women staring at him eagerly, he couldn't help but feel a little shy and touched his nose. "This is my quirk. The more strange the pulses I diagnose and the more bizarre the cases I encounter, the more excited I become."

After explaining, he chuckled.

It really seems unreliable.

"Big brother, please tell me quickly! What's the result!" Xiao Mingyue covered her heart, extremely anxious.

"Oh, oh, oh, I'm sorry. According to the pulse diagnosis just now, Princess Rongcheng, you must have been poisoned."

A trace of hatred flashed in the old lady's eyes. It was indeed so!

"Is there any way?" Jiang Mengrou's voice trembled slightly.

"nature."

Seeing Lin Jiping's indifferent look, answering every question like squeezing toothpaste, Jiang Mengrou was so angry that she almost vomited blood!

Gnashing her teeth, she said to him, "Little Doctor Lin, could you please tell me everything you know in one breath?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

"This poison comes from the Southern Barbarians and is considered a kind of Gu poison."

Xiao Mingyue's eyes lit up, and she stood up excitedly! Gu! A must-have in ancient Chinese idioms—Gu poison!

After being glared at by Jiang Mengrou, he sat down obediently.

Lin Jiping continued, "It can make a person lose all their energy within a month, just like they have a serious illness, until they die."

Glancing at Jiang Mengrou's murderous expression, Lin Jiping hurriedly continued, "Ahem, of course the old lady's poisonous insect isn't that powerful. It's probably because the person who placed it wasn't skilled enough. If we wait another half a month, I'm afraid it will really run out of energy."

"There is a way to crack this problem. We just need to find someone who has taken Tianshan Snow Lotus." Lin Jiping imitated his father and stroked his non-existent beard.

"What if we find this person? Do you want me, an old woman, to eat his flesh?" When the old lady heard that she could be saved, her eyes lit up again, but if it meant sacrificing one person's life, it would not be worth it at all!

"No, no, no. All we need is a bowl of his fresh blood. When the time comes, we can use this bowl of blood to lure the poisonous insect out."

Jiang Mengrou breathed a sigh of relief, "Aunt! We're saved!"

Jiang Mengrou trembled and held the old lady's hand tightly.

"Hey!" The old lady was also a little excited.

"Aunt, please continue to rest. Don't make any noise. Don't tell anyone. Trust Rou'er. She will definitely find that person and help you find the one who poisoned me!"

The old lady nodded, tears glistening in her eyes.

Mingyue also nodded, with a chubby smiling face and a skinny face.

After Jiang Mengrou said goodbye to Xiao Mingyue and Lin Jiping, she returned to the wing room.

She told Zhao Yunshan that he needed to find someone who had taken the Tianshan Snow Lotus as soon as possible to help her aunt get rid of the poison.

"But does this Tianshan Snow Lotus really exist?" Jiang Mengrou was a little worried.

"Yeah, I've only heard of Tianshan Snow Lotus, but I've never heard of anyone eating it." Zhao Yunshan also scratched his head.

"Mother, you were so confident in front of my great-aunt just now, I thought this Tianshan Snow Lotus was very common." Mingyue sat at the table with her chin in her hand.

"Little girl, you're afraid that your great aunt will be disappointed." Jiang Mengrou rubbed Xiao Mingyue's face hard.

The room was lost in thought.

Seeing her prince looking haggard, Yunying couldn't help but go to the kitchen to get a bowl of bird's nest porridge.

"Your Highness, please try eating some." He then looked at Lin Jiping and said, "Little Doctor Lin, why don't you describe what this snow lotus looks like? Where is it probably a specialty?"

Everyone burst out laughing when they heard the word "specialty".

"The snow lotus actually grows on the cliffs of the Tianshan Mountains in the northwest. It's said that on the Tianshan Mountains, the ice and snow never melt year-round, but only the snow lotus can stubbornly grow." He stroked his nonexistent beard again. "It's said that it looks like..."

Before he could finish, Zhao Yunshan's personal attendant spoke in a loud, gruff voice.

"Lotus! But like a lotus??"

Everyone looked at the big, dumb guy Li You in shock. He usually didn't say a word.

"What are you yelling about?" Zhao Yunshan waved his hand at him.

Lin Jiping reacted and reached out to grab Li You, "Have you seen this big brother?"

"Yes! Of course I have!"

Zhao Yunshan looked incredulous. "You follow me every day. After you saw that thing, why didn't you call me to watch it together?"

Jiang Mengrou held her forehead speechlessly.

"Hey, General, do you remember that year when our squadron was stationed in the northwest and we were forced onto the snowy mountains by bandits?"

"At that time, the food we brought was not enough. You held on by yourself, shared the food with me and Er Gouzi, and fainted in the snow from exhaustion."

"At the time, Er Gouzi and I were at our wit's end. We saw a flower nestling in a crack in the rock. It looked exactly like the lotus in the water! We figured it wasn't poisonous, so we broke it up and fed it to you..."

Li You's voice became softer and softer, until the end was almost inaudible.

He added guiltily, "Hey, General, don't blame us..."

Jiang Mengrou grabbed Zhao Yunshan's hand as if she was grabbing a life-saving straw.

"Husband, you, are you willing to..."

"Of course, ma'am! I have no relatives left. Your aunt is also my aunt. Compared to what your aunt has done for you, I just shed a little blood. It's nothing." Zhao Yunshan patted his chest.

Jiang Mengrou burst into tears instantly, with tears dripping down her face.

Whenever Jiang Mengrou cried, Zhao Yunshan would clumsily wipe her tears like a young boy before marriage.

Lin Jiping: I can’t bear to see it. I can’t bear to see it.

Xiao Mingyue covered her eyes with her hands and peeked through her fingers.

"Well, since the general is very likely to have eaten snow lotus, I will go and prepare some medicine and make preparations early. I'm leaving!" Without waiting for a response, he slipped away.
