Jiang Shanshan listened to his words and pondered. This was indeed a problem. Although he knew that the Sixth Prince was a good person, at least for the courtiers, the crown prince was enough.
But, they are destined to be enemies!
No matter how peaceful you are now, you will inevitably face swords in the future.
Shen Xun knew that his words had been listened to, and he was pleased that Jiang Shanshan was a person who understood things clearly.
Wei Ze, on the other hand, was a martial artist after all, straight to the point, so he was a little uncomfortable with this.
"Isn't it too much to take advantage of a child like this?"
"Yes?" Shen Xun glanced at him indifferently, "Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters, but a woman's benevolence is the most important thing!"
As he said this, he felt a pain in his lungs, causing him to cough a few times. Now Wei Ze didn't care about anything else and was busy trying to comfort him.
"I'm just telling you, look at you, why are you so anxious?"
Shen Xun glared at him and then said to Jiang Shanshan: "Girl, remember not to be soft-hearted!"
"I can save it, Uncle Xun, don't worry." Jiang Shanshan responded.
She knows that no one will be soft-hearted.
Listening to her answer, Shen Xun nodded.
Soon after, Jiang Shanshan and Taohong left and returned to the mansion, and the Duke of Jingguo sent news.
It was none other than Mr. Li.
Although I haven't found a doctor who specializes in the strange poisons of the Western Regions, I already have some clues.
Jiang Shanshan also felt a little more at ease.
On the other side, Gu Yuan was sitting in the Seventh Prince's Mansion. Xiao Xuanyi couldn't help but be curious as he watched him put the few medicinal books he had used in his hands.
"What do you want these for? Do you also want to study the poisons of the Western Region?"
"Someone just needs it."
"Oh? Miss Jiang?"
Seeing that Gu Yuan acquiesced, Xiao Xuanyi was not surprised. If anyone could trouble them, Third Young Master Gu, to take action in person, Jiang Shanshan was definitely the one.
"What does she want with this? This book contains many strange poisons from the Western Regions, including recipes for their preparation and antidote."
Gu Yuan shook his head. He didn't ask. He only knew that she wanted it, so he went to find it.
Xiao Xuanyi choked when he saw this, his cold eyes passed over him, and for some reason, he wanted to throw him out.
"How is your highness's health? Have you taken good medicine recently?" Gu Yuan asked after flipping through the book in his hand.
Hearing him mention this matter, Xiao Xuanyi's expression became even more indifferent. He lowered his eyes and looked at his hand holding the cup.
There is no trace of blood, thin and pale.
"What else can I do? I rely on medicine every day. Even if the imperial doctor returns me every month, the result will still be the same."
Gu Yuan's eyes darkened slightly and he said, "Your Highness, you have worked hard."
"Tsk...For this life, these are nothing."
The shadows of the two men swayed slightly under the candlelight. It took a long time before one of them got up and left.
The next day, the book recording the strange poisons of the Western Regions was in Jiang Shanshan's hands. She opened it and looked at it, her eyes brightening slightly.
"These two books should be very precious, right?" she asked.
Gu Yuan thought about it for a while, so be it!
It took a lot of effort to get this book.
Jiang Shanshan looked at it for a while and found that the poison recorded in the book was not the same as Shen Xun. The only one that was somewhat similar was the one called water chestnut poison.
This is something commonly used in the imperial court, especially when interrogating prisoners.
You won't die immediately, but as long as you are exposed to it, there is no cure. As time goes by, it will get deeper and deeper into your heart until it is completely corroded.
Just listening to it is cruel.
As for whether this is the poison that struck Shen Xun, it remains to be verified.
But to her disappointment, there was no antidote for the poison, and the formula was incomplete.
In the next few days, Jiang Shanshan wasted a lot of rabbits in order to study this.
But it also allowed her to figure out what kind of poison Shen Xunzhong was.
In a room filled with medicinal materials and other items, Jiang Shanshan put down the weak rabbit in his hand, patted it and said: "This poison is based on water chestnut poison, with several additional herbs added. It is faster and more ferocious than water chestnut poison, but its toxicity is less. Not as strong as water chestnut poison."
Taohong opened her eyes wide, "Then, can Uncle Xun be saved? Since we can find out the poison, we must be able to develop an antidote."
However, Jiang Shanshan's words disappointed her.
"Unless you have the original prescription, it will be difficult to prepare an equivalent dose."
This is the most troublesome part.
As Jiang Shanshan finished speaking, Taohong also collapsed on the table in frustration.
She has been busy working day and night with Jiang Shanshan for the past few days, which has really made her very tired.
"However, it is not all hopeless." Jiang Shanshan thought of what Li sent someone to deliver.
What if we could find the people who were involved in making the drug?
After coming out of the mansion, she planned to go to the Duke's Mansion to ask about the doctor's affairs, but just halfway there, she was stopped by people from the Sixth Prince's Mansion.
After asking, she found out that it was Concubine Qin who invited her over. Jiang Shanshan's eyes turned slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking, but he actually agreed.
Taohong frowned in disapproval, "Who knows if they are really Qin's concubine, if you just go with them, aren't you afraid of something happening?"
"What are you afraid of? What if someone actually makes a fool of yourself?"
"You..." Taohong was furious and lowered her voice, "That's the Sixth Prince's Mansion, don't mess around!"
Jiang Shanshan pushed her away and almost hit her face, and said calmly: "How do you know this is not what I want?"
Taohong paused, as if she thought of something, her eyes widened.
She nestled in the corner of the carriage, feeling that the good days were coming to an end.
Soon, the two arrived at the Sixth Prince's Mansion. The stewards and guards accompanying them saluted them and handed them over to a mother who led them to the backyard.
Jiang Shanshan looked at his mother who was leading the way and asked, "Is Concubine Qin okay?"
When my mother heard this, she turned around and bowed and said, "Miss Lao, I'm thinking about you. Our concubine is fine."
"Oh? What about the princess?"
Mom paused and said with a smile: "The princess is fine too."
With that said, she turned around and continued to lead the way.
Jiang Shanshan followed him to a garden, and from a distance, he saw a beautiful figure sitting in the pavilion.
It seems that he is feeding the fish in the pond, and his head with clouded temples is swaying gently, making it more graceful and moving.
When they got closer, the people inside also noticed them. Qin Jun smiled at Jiang Shanshan and said, "Miss Jiang, you are well."
Jiang Shanshan raised his eyebrows. Could it be that she had guessed wrong and that Qin Jun was really looking for her?
After looking around calmly, she bowed and said, "Concubine Qin is fine. I wonder why you came to see me today?"
At this time, Qin Jun glanced at the people accompanying him, and saw a person who looked like a big maid waving her hand, and the others all retreated.
Jiang Shanshan also sat aside at Qin Jun's signal.
"Miss Jiang is a smart person, so she doesn't want to be taken advantage of, right?"
"What do you mean by this?"
"Miss Jiang, who do you think invited you here today?"
"Aren't you the concubine?"
"It's me and it's not me." Qin Jun smiled softly, "I wasn't the one who invited you here, but it was me who brought you here."
Speaking of which, there is nothing Jiang Shanshan doesn't understand.
