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

"I... I'm just talking nonsense because I'm in pain."

Physician Jin looked embarrassed, and his hatred for Song Ruozhen intensified. This woman was really looking for trouble and deliberately picking a fight; she was truly despicable!

He's already been given thirty lashes, what more does this woman want?

"Just kidding, surely Physician Jin can afford to take a joke?"

With a smile on her face, Song Ruozhen said some infuriating things, then turned and had Bai Zhi hand over the medicine.

"Imperial Physician Jin, there was originally no enmity between us, but today you have been disrespectful to me repeatedly in front of everyone, so you should be punished."

This is medicine I specially had brewed for you. Drink it quickly, and once you feel better, we'll need to work together to figure out a better treatment plan.

When Physician Jin looked at the medicine in front of him, he was suddenly startled.

Bai Zhi handed the medicine forward at the right moment, saying, "Imperial Physician Jin, please drink it quickly."

Doctor Jin's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he looked troubled. "I...I'll drink it later."

"Is Physician Jin going to disrespect me?" Chu Junting's face turned cold. "The Princess specially had this prepared for you. If you refuse a polite offer, you'll have to suffer the consequences..."

Even though he hadn't said anything, Physician Jin couldn't help but shiver.

He knew the King of Chu's temperament; he had only spoken disrespectfully and yet had been given thirty strokes of the cane.

If they don't obey now, they'll likely face certain death.

Under the watchful eyes of Song Ruozhen and Chu Junting, Imperial Physician Jin drank the medicine, not leaving a single drop.

The two men had already confirmed their earlier judgment when they saw Physician Jin's attitude; there was indeed a problem!

He knew it was poisonous!

"Now that Physician Jin has taken his medicine, he should rest for a while. Let's head back now."

Song Ruozhen followed Chu Junting away, glancing at Physician Jin out of the corner of her eye, and saw that the guy's face was very ugly.

After leaving the tent, Chu Junting said, "You go back now, leave this matter to me."

"it is good."

Song Ruozhen had no doubt about Chu Junting's abilities.

Not long after she returned to her tent, Chu Junting came back with a packet of medicine powder.

"got it?"

Song Ruozhen's eyes lit up, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but curve upwards.

Chu Junting nodded, not holding back his praise, "Your method is still the best."

The other imperial physicians were all baffled by this scene, wondering what kind of riddle the prince and princess were playing.

“This is the antidote,” Song Ruozhen said frankly.

"Princess Consort of Chu, you've already developed the antidote so quickly?"

Physician Yang was shocked. Although he knew that Princess Chu's medical skills were extraordinary, it was already very impressive that she could discover that someone had poisoned her in such a short time.

As a result, an antidote was developed in the blink of an eye. Compared to that, they were all useless!

Song Ruozhen smiled faintly and remained silent, her gaze sweeping over the others. Seeing that their faces showed only deep surprise and admiration, not fear, she knew that their judgment was correct.

The imperial physicians before me are all trustworthy.

Now that we have the antidote, analyzing the ingredients is quite simple.

Song Ruozhen quickly wrote down the prescription for the antidote, and Chu Junting wrote down the whole story and had it sent to the palace together.

The antidote must be prepared as soon as possible to save the lives of the soldiers.

All of this is clearly the work of someone who did it on purpose, and Physician Jin is one of the survivors.

This incident has escalated to such a great extent that we must seize this opportunity to wipe them all out, otherwise who knows what other trouble might occur!

While Song Ruozhen and the other imperial physicians were studying methods to treat the plague, Chu Junting and Chu Yungui went directly to interrogate Imperial Physician Jin.

After watching everyone leave, Physician Jin paused for a moment before taking out the antidote.

"Luckily, I had a backup plan in case I got poisoned too!"

The imperial physician was smug, but just as he took out the antidote to take it, he was captured.

"W-Prince?"

Chu Junting's eyes were cold. "I didn't expect Physician Jin to be so bold as to poison people in my military camp!"

Physician Jin's face turned ashen, and he subconsciously protested, "No, it's not..."

However, faced with the King of Chu's sharp gaze, his face turned ashen, and he knew that he was finished!

Given the ruthlessness of the King of Chu, he certainly wouldn't let him go.

Unfortunately, he couldn't find an opportunity to commit suicide, and Chu Junting's punishment showed him what it meant to be worse than death.

"Your Highness, I truly don't know, please kill me!"

The imperial physician, covered in blood, was trembling as he spoke, his eyes filled with deep terror.

Chu Junting's stunningly beautiful face was now cold and indifferent. He leaned back in his chair, his dark eyes scrutinizing the Imperial Physician Jin before him, a faint smile playing on his lips, showing no trace of his fierce and menacing nature.

However, the more indifferent his smile was, the more frightened Physician Jin became.

"Imperial Physician Jin is quite audacious. Knowing that I value my brothers in the military camp the most, you want to take this opportunity to destroy the entire camp."

Chu Junting paused slightly, a playful glint in his eyes, "I'm curious, your whole family is in the capital, are you planning to take your entire family to their deaths?"

Imperial Physician Jin's expression froze, and he quickly kowtowed, saying, "Your Highness, they know nothing! Their family shouldn't be implicated. Please, Your Highness, spare them!"

"The sins you have committed are such that even if you die, your body will be hung at the city gate and despised by everyone. Do you still think your family will be implicated?"

Not only you, but your son, daughter-in-law, and even your grandchildren will all be paraded through the streets, and everyone will spit on you for causing the deaths of so many innocent soldiers!

"When have I ever been so good-tempered in your eyes?" Chu Yungui said coldly. "What's wrong with Physician Jin that he would come here to die?"

If I were to lose my life, not only would your entire family be wiped out, but your entire extended family—even your ancestral graves—would be exhumed!

He usually cherishes his own life, but these beasts plotted against them, causing so many innocent soldiers to lose their lives, and now they're even thinking of pleading for mercy.

"It seems that punishment is still not enough. Let's put in some more effort and let Physician Jin experience the methods of our military camp!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers in charge of the torture were now aware of Physician Jin's actions and were filled with hatred, so they were even more ruthless in their punishment.

The imperial physician Jin let out a scream, his body covered in cold sweat, and begged for mercy: "Your Highness, I'll tell you everything, please spare my family!"

"Tell me what you have to say," Chu Junting said casually.

"I was forced to do it; it wasn't my intention at all. They forced me to do it!"

Physician Jin looked flustered and then told the whole story, "That day, when I was on my way home, a man in black suddenly blocked my way. He forced me to do this or he would kill my whole family..."
