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

After Bai Zhi brought the water over, Song Ruozhen immediately began to check the water.

"How is it?" Chu Junting asked.

Song Ruozhen showed no surprise. "Just as I expected, the water was poisoned."

"If the water is poisoned, then all the soldiers in the camp will be drinking water from this well. Won't that mean that not a single person will be able to escape?"

Chu Yungui's eyes widened. No matter how much the other party wanted to cause trouble for his third brother, so many soldiers were innocent, yet they didn't intend to let a single one go!

Song Ruozhen looked at Chu Junting. He must have his own thoughts on matters of the court, but she couldn't care less about those right now. She had to hurry!

Not only do we need to find a way to cure this poison, but the plague is even more troublesome, and it will be no easy task to completely eradicate it.

However, if the poison could be neutralized, the infected people would not die in a short time; at least they would have more time to come up with a solution.

"Jun Ting, among the imperial physicians today, do you know which ones are trustworthy?"

Song Ruozhen's eyes were serious. "Right now, it's definitely not enough for me to do it alone. I need someone to help me."

"Imperial Physician Yang, Imperial Physician Yao..."

Chu Junting named several imperial physicians, but when he mentioned Physician Jin, he said:

"Imperial Physician Jin is untrustworthy. Although he is the most respected of all the imperial physicians, I have noticed that he has not been seriously trying to find a solution since he arrived."

On the contrary, he was deliberately stalling for time.

Chu Yungui nodded, "I think so too. This guy looks very anxious in front of us, but he's not anxious at all behind our backs."

Song Ruozhen smiled slightly, "That makes things easier."

"What do you mean?" Chu Yungui asked, puzzled.

"This poison is not simple, and it complements the plague, which is why the imperial physicians failed to detect it."

"If we delay any longer, soldiers will perish. Rather than trying to develop an antidote ourselves, we should just ask for one directly."

Chu Junting raised an eyebrow. "You mean to force a confession directly?"

Since they all believe that Physician Jin is problematic, it's not unreasonable to use torture to find out the truth.

“If we interrogate him directly, there is a certain risk involved. There are probably more than one informant in the military camp. Once they discover this, they might take the opportunity to kill him to silence him.”

Then we won't be able to get anything out of them.

Song Ruozhen's eyes were serious, but a smile appeared on her lips.

"Bai Zhi, use this bucket of water to brew medicine for Physician Jin. Remember to boil it several times, the higher the concentration of poison, the better."

Upon hearing this, everyone wore amused smiles; it was indeed a good idea.

Because the imperial physician is extremely important, his food is specially delivered from outside every day, which is why the imperial physician has stayed here for two days without any problems.

If Imperial Physician Jin had truly been involved, he would have known that the medicine was inedible, but with them watching, he had no choice but to drink it.

In other words, he will definitely take the antidote.

Once they catch the person, they can get the evidence red-handed.

Not only can we obtain the formula for the antidote, but we can also find out who is behind it all through Physician Jin's words. This is undoubtedly the fastest way!

"I'll go brew the medicine right away," Bai Zhi said hurriedly.

While Bai Zhi and Qing Teng were preparing the medicine, Song Ruozhen summoned several trusted imperial physicians to discuss solutions to the plague.

Physician Yang already trusted Song Ruozhen's methods, and now that they were in the prince's tent, everyone was extremely obedient.

However, they couldn't help but feel puzzled when they realized that only a few of them had come and the other imperial physicians had not.

"Doctor Yang, based on your many years of experience, what results have you achieved so far?" Song Ruozhen asked.

Physician Yang looked helpless and said, "Your Highness, this plague is extremely strange."

Although plagues have occurred in previous years, it usually takes some time from the onset of the disease to death. But this time, the plague came on fiercely, and people lost their lives in just two days.

We've tried all the methods we've used before, but nothing has stopped the illness.

"That's right. The most commonly used medicinal herbs used to work well, but for some reason they were completely useless this time."

Upon hearing this, Song Ruozhen looked at Chu Junting, who nodded, indicating that she could rest assured.

Soldiers were already guarding the outside of the tent. Since they had arrived today, they could not possibly go out and had absolutely no chance to pass on messages to others.

Of course, anyone who dares to rush in at this time will be arrested and treated as a spy.

Song Ruozhen didn't keep them in suspense and directly told them the whole story. The imperial physicians who knew the truth were all stunned, and disbelief flashed in their eyes.

"No wonder! I felt something was off before, it turns out it was poison!"

As the imperial physicians talked, they couldn't help but ponder, picking up paper and pen to write down their thoughts.

The direction was wrong, proving that all the judgments made in the past two days were wrong!

Everything has to start from scratch!

Song Ruozhen was also completely immersed in it and began to study methods to treat the plague.

"Those who are unaware of the situation can directly take the pulse of His Highness the Prince of Chu; he is the one who has only been infected with the plague."

"If we can cure the King of Chu, then the plague can be cured," Song Ruozhen said.

The instant she finished speaking, Chu Junting noticed that all the imperial physicians were looking at him, as if he had become some kind of hot commodity.

Chu Yungui couldn't help but laugh. No wonder his sister-in-law said she wanted all the other imperial physicians to come here; it turned out it was so that they could take his third brother's pulse!

Chu Junting glanced at him indifferently, "You can still laugh? If your poison isn't completely cured, you'll be dead tomorrow."

Chu Yungui: "!!!"

"Royal sister-in-law, you must hurry! You must find a solution before tomorrow! I don't want to die!"

Song Ruozhen nodded, "We will do our best."

Chu Yungui: "..." He felt like his head was hanging in the balance, and if he couldn't solve the problem, he would lose his life.

At this moment, Bai Zhi finally finished brewing the medicine.

As instructed by Song Ruozhen, a bucket of water was boiled down to a bowl, and the poison in it was extremely concentrated.

"You guys study it first, I'm going out for a bit."

Song Ruozhen looked at the medicine in Bai Zhi's hand with interest in her eyes. As long as this matter was handled smoothly, the poison would be cured soon.

In this way, studying the plague becomes half as simple.

Chu Junting followed Song Ruozhen to Physician Jin's tent, where he heard the physician lying on the bed screaming incessantly.

"That damned bastard actually hit me with the board!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Song Ruozhen's eyes. "Your Highness, are you being referred to?"

"It seems that Physician Jin has a lot of opinions about me!"

Physician Jin was surprised by their return and his expression changed immediately. He quickly said, "Your Highness, that's not what I meant."

"Then what do you mean?" Song Ruozhen asked, not wanting to miss out on the fun.
