Qu Mao's heart was also full of ups and downs. Things have progressed to this point, and everything has been going on as he expected. He is really unsure whether it can succeed. He has no turning back and he can only do it with his teeth.

As for the uneasiness in conscience, it can be ignored compared to relatives.

He looked at the moon, this was the one he had chosen among the limited people. I hope he was not good at it, she could withstand the storm that would not ruin his affairs.

Ban Yue's legs were a little numb, but what was even more numb than her legs was her heart. Just like that, you'll die if you die. It would be worth it if she could exchange her brother's life.

As for her father, stepmother and another younger brother, she couldn't help but curse her lips and showed a sarcastic smile. So what if she implicated the serious crime of the relatives? If they were alive, she and her younger brother had no way to live, so it would be better to die all of them!

Geyue was also kneeling beside her, so nervous that she didn't know what to do.

The few of them had their own thoughts, and the side hall was quiet and a little depressed.

In this depressing environment, time seemed to be particularly long. It took Ji Chun to lead Dr. Xu in.

The Crown Princess put down her hand that was holding her forehead. After holding it for a long time, her forearm was a little numb. She didn't care about this, stood up and raised her hand to let Dr. Xu avoid the gift, handed over the porcelain that had been holding in her other hand, and said, "Try to smell what had been stored in it, and there was something that shouldn't be found in the medicine."

She pointed at the bottom of the broken jar on the table, and her tone was so calm that she was surprised.

Ji Chun took the porcelain and handed it to Dr. Xu.

Doctor Xu put the porcelain close to his nostrils and smelled it, frowned, then lowered his head and smelled the medicine at the bottom of the jar, stretched out his index finger and dripped it a little and tasted it, and his brows became even more frowned.

The princess couldn't bear to ask him, clenched his hands and stared at him with good eyes.

"Take a piece of paper." Doctor Xu said without raising his head.

Without waiting for the Crown Princess's order, Jichun went out to get a small piece of Suxuan.

Dr. Xu dipped his fingers into the medicine juice and dripped it on the Suxuan. The medicine juice quickly spread out on the Suxuan. Its shape was round, with a yellowish-brown color in the middle. The color became lighter the outer layer, but it strangely gradually turned into a light purple.

Doctor Xu's face became solemn. He held Su Xuan and leaned over and said, "Your Highness, please look at this color. It is yellow inside and purple outside, and has a faint fragrance of golden osmanthus. It is clearly the poison of purple osmanthus!"

"Zi Gui?" The Crown Princess repeated in confusion.

"Purple cinnamon is born in the southern waters. Its tastes fragrant with golden cinnamon, but it is actually not similar to golden cinnamon. Its flowers are purple and are poisonous when the buds are not blooming. At this time, it can be picked and made into powder. It can be used as a medicine. Occasionally, it can be used in small quantities. It has the miraculous effect of curing internal and external sores, asthma and coughs." Dr. Xu explained.

When the Crown Princess heard this, her eyebrows frowned even tighter. Because Doctor Xu's expression obviously had unfinished words, she did not ask questions and waited for him to follow up.

"Just..." Doctor Xu paused for a little, and then said: "Zigui is poisonous after all, and it is not hindered to take it occasionally. However, if taken for a long time, the toxins accumulate in the body, which will aggravate the patient's condition and his mental condition will worsen until the medicine stone is ineffective..."

The Crown Princess's face gradually turned pale, but her eyes became more angry. She asked almost word by word: "The pulse and vision... can't you see any signs of poisoning?"

What a big deal for the prince to be poisoned. Even if one or two imperial doctors are bought, it is impossible for all imperial doctors to be bribed. Over the years, I don’t know how many imperial doctors who have treated the prince have changed, but no one has told me about the prince’s poisoning.

Dr. Xu shook his head, "This poison is highly concealed because it accumulates bit by bit, and there will be no obvious symptoms on the surface."

The Crown Princess took a step back, closed her eyes for a moment, and when she opened it, she had a little calmer in her eyes and said, "Can this poison be cured?"

Doctor Xu did not dare to look up at the crown princess, half-hugged his head and replied: "It is unsolvable. If the time of taking it for a short time, it will make the patient weak and will not be fatal. But if it takes a long time and over time, the patient's five internal organs are eroded by toxins, and he will be powerless!"

The Crown Princess pursed her lips, pointed at her patrimony, and ordered Qu Mao: "Look clearly who instructed her!"

Then he took Doctor Xu out and let his pace lightly outside the prince's bedroom.

The prince was still lying on the couch and was asleep. Recently, the prince had been sleeping for a long time.

The Crown Princess frowned worriedly, carefully took out the prince's arm covering the Huang Ling quilt, lifted up a little of her sleeve, and then moved out of the position to signal Dr. Xu to take the pulse.

Doctor Xu was a little stunned. The words and deeds of the Crown Princess showed that the poisoned person mentioned just now was the Crown Prince!

He dared not think about the consequences of this matter, nor did he dare to think about how much brain he would lose and how much blood he would shed due to this matter.

I went up and knelt down in front of the couch, let out a long breath, and forced myself to calm down.

Then take out the pulse and pad it under the prince’s wrist, stretch out four fingers and buckle it on the prince’s wrist to start to take a detailed pulse.

The prince woke up at some point, half open his eyes but didn't speak.

After a long time, Doctor Xu stood up and saw the awakened prince hurriedly kneeling down and kowtowed.

The princess approached and stuffed the prince's hand into the quilt again, and said softly: "You are awake, do you want to drink some water?"

"No." The prince's voice was very weak, and he signaled to Doctor Xu with his eyes and said, "What's going on?"

Of course he recognized this doctor who was worshipped by the Shen Mansion.

The imperial doctors were all treated to the prince, but suddenly a doctor from the Shen family came. Of course, there must be a reason for this.

"No," the Crown Princess's smile was a bit far-fetched, "My mother has been unhappy recently, so I asked him to come in and ask about the situation. Doctor Xu's medical skills are no worse than those of the Imperial Doctor. I'll let him show you."

"Yes." The prince responded softly, as if he believed the princess's words.

Doctor Xu asked the Crown Princess and said, "Your Highness's eyes."

The Crown Princess took two steps back and moved out of her way and reached out to signal him.

Doctor Xu said with a whistleblow, lowered his head and reached out to look at the prince's eyelids, looked at the upper, lower, left and right eyelids, then looked behind the prince's ears, then bowed and took a few steps back, standing with his hands down to indicate that he had finished reading.

The princess smiled and said to the prince: "Are you hungry? Do you want to drink some porridge?"

"No, help me up first." said the prince.

The princess bent down and helped the prince get up while saying, "The little girls didn't care. They accidentally made a medicine jar. I'll let them cook again. You drink some porridge first, and I'll check if I'm done."

"Well, go." The prince leaned on the welcome pillow weakly, looked at the princess with soft eyes, and said with a smile.

The Crown Princess ordered the maid who served the next time to serve the prince to drink porridge, and then took Doctor Xu out.

After leaving the prince's bedroom, the princess stood outside the door and asked Doctor Xu: "How is it? What's the problem?"

Doctor Xu pondered for a moment and organized the speech, "The prince's eyelids looked carefully, and there was a slight purple color, and there was also purple behind his ears, which meant... the poisoning was deeply rooted!"

The blood on the Crown Princess's face faded away instantly. She looked at Doctor Xu blankly and asked with hope: "Is there really... nothing I can do?"
