Having transmigrated into a book, who would still want to be a secondary wife?

As soon as Chu Junting finished speaking, Physician Jin's face turned extremely ugly, and he immediately knelt down.

"Your Highness, I know I was wrong, and I will accept punishment even if it is necessary. However, we are in dire need of manpower right now, so please reconsider!"

Chu Junting raised his hand. "Drag him away."

Without a word, Physician Jin was dragged away, and soon screams could be heard from outside.

Song Ruozhen raised her eyebrows slightly, thinking that Physician Jin really deserved it!

Chu Junting observed his wife's attitude, and when he saw her relaxed expression, he knew that he had done the right thing!

"Has Madam calmed down?" Chu Junting asked in a low voice.

Song Ruozhen glanced at him unhappily. He dared to keep such a big thing from her, how could he let it go so easily?

"Wow—"

Chu Yungui's pale face instantly turned bright red, and then he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The moment everyone saw King Yun vomit blood, their expressions changed.

So far, the other soldiers are only weak and unwell, but none of them have coughed up blood!

"Yun Gui, are you alright?"

A look of tension crept onto Chu Junting's handsome face as he stared at the blood on the ground, his eyes filled with worry.

“That’s normal, it’s the effect of the pill just now.” Song Ruozhen spoke first, “After spitting it out, the condition improved.”

The other imperial physicians were all astonished to learn that the Princess Consort of Chu had given the Prince of Yun the medicine directly; the speed was simply too fast!

More importantly... she's vomiting blood, and this medicine has a much greater impact than the medicines they used incorrectly before, yet Princess Chu says it's nothing?

Chu Yungui felt a pang of indescribable sadness as he watched his third sister-in-law speak these words as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

The Third Princess's words were so cold!

"I'm vomiting blood, am I going to die?"

"Don't worry, you won't die that easily." Song Ruozhen smiled faintly. "Take a good look at yourself. Before, you felt like you couldn't breathe, but now you feel much better, don't you?"

Chu Yungui was slightly taken aback. Following her instructions, he carefully sensed the sensation and, sure enough, found that his breathing was much smoother now.

"It really is! I feel so much better now, how come?"

After seeing Chu Yungui's condition, Song Ruozhen was completely certain of her previous judgment. However, she glanced at the imperial physician in front of her and did not immediately explain.

Chu Junting could tell what his wife was thinking just by looking at her eyes, so he immediately said, "You all go back first, I'll call you later."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The imperial physicians understood immediately: was the princess worried that there was a traitor among them?

"Oh, right, take Physician Jin back with you too. Find him a bed to lie on. He only has body pain, but his head is fine," Chu Junting said casually.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately understood that the prince had only given him thirty strokes of the cane because Physician Jin still had work to do; otherwise, it would have been much more severe than just thirty strokes.

Upon hearing this, Physician Jin, who was already in pain and feeling aggrieved, became even more furious. This was not treating him like a human being at all!

After everyone left, Yunyang ordered a few trusted men to guard the vicinity of the tent and not allow anyone to approach.

"Now you can tell me what exactly happened?" Chu Junting asked.

Song Ruozhen's expression darkened slightly. "This time it's not just the plague, you've also been poisoned!"

Upon hearing this, both Chu Junting and Chu Yungui were filled with shock. "Poisoned?"

"That's right. The reason why Your Highness Yun's condition is more serious is because you were also poisoned. This poison will make the infected person's body worse, the onset of the disease will be faster, and the death and injury will be greater."

As for Jun Ting, the reason he was alright was because the sachet I gave him before contained various medicinal herbs.

Wearing it close to your body for extended periods can provide immunity to all poisons.

"No wonder!" Chu Yungui's eyes widened. "I was wondering why my brother's condition was so much better than mine. It turns out it wasn't because my health was too poor!"

In the past, this wouldn't have been a big deal for him, but now that he's about to get married, he can't let people think he's in poor health, or he'll become a laughing stock.

Chu Junting looked down at the sachet he was wearing, which Zhen'er had embroidered for him herself.

He cherished this sentiment and wore it on his body all the time. He never expected that the contents inside would have such a great effect!

"So, someone deliberately poisoned the military camp?"

After regaining his senses, Chu Junting realized the seriousness of the situation. The outbreak of the plague was already strange in every way, and now this was the last thing they had done. The other party was truly powerful!

This method... most people would never even think of such a way.

Song Ruozhen nodded slightly, "I think so. The reason I didn't say it earlier was because I wasn't sure who was trustworthy."

If the other party finds out, they will definitely flee immediately, or even kill you to silence you.

At this point, she thought of Physician Jin again and frankly said, "I think Physician Jin is strange."

Chu Junting and Chu Yungui exchanged a glance; this point coincided with their own thoughts.

When the imperial physicians arrived earlier, they noticed that Physician Jin was acting strangely. Now that they saw that Ruozhen had the same idea, they were even more certain.

“I have already sent people to keep an eye on Physician Jin. Now that he has been punished, he won’t be able to cause any trouble for a while. Even if he wants to do something, he will have to order others to do it. We will find out immediately.”

Chu Junting reassured Song Ruozhen.

"That's good. This person is very strange. When I arrived, he seemed unhurried. He didn't seem to want to come up with a cure quickly. He clearly hoped that no one could come up with one."

Song Ruozhen's face darkened slightly. Using so many lives as a shield, this kind of person is the most vicious and must be severely punished!

"So what do we do next? We still haven't figured out how they poisoned us!"

Chu Yungui couldn't help but feel anxious. He had truly experienced how uncomfortable he had been these past two days. Most importantly, after recalling everything that had happened in the past two days, he still couldn't figure out how the other party could have had any opportunity to poison him.

Song Ruozhen turned to look at Chu Junting, "Have you discovered anything?"

Chu Junting pondered for a moment and said, "We haven't had much contact with people before, so unless the poison comes from food or tea, there shouldn't be a chance."

"It's almost time to eat, shall I go check on the kitchen?"

Song Ruozhen raised her eyebrows slightly. It was best not to let anyone discover anything at this moment. She needed to find out the source of the poison first.

Otherwise, if this toxin is allowed to spread, I'm afraid countless more people in the military camp will suffer from it!

"Yunyang, gather a few people and go with the Princess Consort," Chu Junting instructed.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Song Ruozhen waved her hand, "Baizhi and Qingteng came with me too, so you don't need to worry. I'll just say you're hungry and want to see what food is available."

If Yunyang and the others go along, it might alert the enemy.

Chu Junting knew Qing Teng and Bai Zhi's martial arts skills. Although they were women, their strength was not bad, so there was no need to worry.
