Chapter 218 Poisoned
Chapter 218 Poisoned
Xie Ying was born with a plump, fair complexion and a lovely face, which made her very popular.
Now, she smiled sweetly at Feng Xinyi, and her smile immediately touched Feng Xinyi's heart, making her hard-hearted heart soften instantly.
If this wasn't the Princess's residence and she wasn't in disguise, she would definitely hold Xie Ying in her arms and kiss her sweetly.
Unfortunately, that's not right.
Feng Xinyi sighed inwardly, quickly putting all her thoughts aside, smiled faintly at Xie Ying, then her face became serious, and she saluted the eldest princess in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
The princess was very much looking forward to her medical skills, so she didn't put on airs and said politely, "Please take a seat, Doctor Yaoshen. I asked you to come here because I hope you can help me check Yuan'er's health and take a look at these pills."
"Your Highness has requested me to do this. I dare not disobey. Please allow me to take the young master's pulse first."
As Feng Xinyi spoke, she came to Situ Yuan, took out a pulse pillow, and while taking his pulse, she carefully examined his complexion.
After taking the pulse of one hand, she frowned and asked Situ Yuan to change the other hand and continue taking the pulse.
The eldest princess saw this and couldn't help but feel worried.
She wanted to ask, but was afraid of disturbing Feng Xinyi and affecting her diagnosis, so she tried hard to hold it in.
Finally, Feng Xinyi finished taking Situ Yuan's pulse.
When the princess saw her withdraw her hand, she hurriedly asked, "Did the Medicine God Doctor see anything? Is there something wrong with Yuan'er's body?"
Unexpectedly, Feng Xinyi said, "I did discover something, but I'm a little uncertain. Could you please allow me to take your pulse?"
The eldest princess was stunned when she heard this, feeling confused and a little frightened.
It was clearly a diagnosis for Yuan'er, so why did he take her pulse?
Could it be that Yuan'er's illness is related to her?
Yes, Yuan'er's weakness was brought from the womb, so it is indeed related to her.
The eldest princess stretched out her hand. Since the other party was a woman, she naturally didn't have to worry about the differences between men and women.
Thinking of this, the eldest princess suddenly felt that there should be more female doctors like the Godly Medicine Doctor in the world.
Feng Xinyi carefully examined the eldest princess's pulse, observed her complexion and tongue coating, and then told her about her illness.
The princess was shocked when she heard this and could not help but sigh, "You are truly a miracle doctor."
Apart from some old ailments, she also had some minor symptoms recently. Because they were not serious, she did not ask a doctor to treat her, and did not even tell the people around her.
So apart from herself, even the maid who served her personally could not know everything.
Naturally, it is impossible to reveal her situation to outsiders.
This miracle doctor only took her pulse, looked at her complexion and tongue coating, and actually told her all her symptoms. How could the princess still not be convinced?
She even felt a little regretful that she was too suspicious and had only invited the medicine doctor into the house now.
Feng Xinyi smiled faintly, "It's just that I've encountered so many patients, so practice makes perfect."
The princess quickly asked the question in her heart, "Why did the Medicine God suddenly take my pulse? Could it be that Yuan'er's illness is related to me?"
Feng Xinyi said, "The young master's illness was brought from the womb. He was born like this. Either he wasn't well taken care of in the womb, or his parents were ill and passed it on to him.
It's a pity that the Prince Consort is not here, otherwise I would have taken his pulse to further determine the real reason for the young master's illness."
"I see." The eldest princess had a complicated expression. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Did the Medicine God Doctor see anything? Yuan'er was born sickly. Is it because of me?"
Feng Xinyi sighed and said, “After I came to the capital, I heard some rumors about His Highness.
Rumor has it that Her Highness became pregnant after many years of marriage and gave birth to a little prince.
It's a pity that the young master was born sickly, causing His Highness a lot of worry.
I just took your prince's pulse, and your constitution is indeed not conducive to having children. And you must have taken a lot of medicine in order to get pregnant, right?
As the saying goes, every medicine is poisonous. Your Highness has taken too many and too diverse medicines, so it is inevitable that some toxins have accumulated in your body, which is harmful to the fetus."
The princess was already feeling uneasy, and hearing this, her heart broke. Her eyes instantly reddened, and she choked with sobs as she said, "Yes, I've never been able to conceive since I got married. I've used a lot of medicine, but I didn't expect it would actually hurt Yuan'er."
Feng Xinyi lowered her eyes, hiding the coldness in them.
She suspected that the princess and Situ Yuan had been poisoned by a strange poison, but firstly, she couldn't be sure, and secondly, the water was too deep and could easily be fatal.
That's why she didn't say it.
The eldest princess is of noble status, and anyone who dares to poison her must be extraordinary.
If she exposed this matter, she might easily be killed.
The princess didn't know what she was thinking, but she quickly asked, "Doctor Yaoshen, do you have any way to treat Yuan'er? Can you make him healthy again?"
Feng Xinyi didn't promise anything, but instead asked, "Can you let me see the young master's medical records over the years, as well as the medicine he drank today?"
"Naturally."
The eldest princess immediately sent someone to get the medical records and medicine residue.
She was a cautious person. She would ask the female officials to carefully record every diagnosis made by the imperial physician, and would also carefully check the used medicine residue to prevent anyone from causing trouble.
The servants quickly brought the medical records and medicine residue.
Feng Xinyi first carefully examined the medicinal residue and found that it was quite suitable for the condition. The imperial physician who treated Situ Yuan was very capable.
However, Situ Yuan has become increasingly frail over the years, and the imperial doctors can only barely prolong his life but cannot cure his illness. There must be a reason for this.
If it was as she guessed, Situ Yuan was poisoned and his foundation was damaged in the womb, then the treatments given by the imperial doctors would only be temporary solutions and not a cure for the disease.
She studied Situ Yuan's medical records carefully again, but Situ Yuan had been sick since he was born, and there were really too many of his medical records, and she couldn't finish reading them all in a short time.
Feng Xinyi asked, "There are quite a lot of medical records. Do you have any backups? I need some time to study them carefully."
The eldest princess immediately said, "These medical records are for backup purposes, but they cannot be taken out of the palace. I will have someone prepare a separate room for the miracle doctor so that he can study them slowly."
Seeing that the topic was getting further and further away, Situ Yuan couldn't help but remind her, "Mom, there are still these pills."
The princess then remembered the pills and quickly asked Feng Xinyi to help check them.
Feng Xinyi then put down the medical records in her hand, carefully took a pill, cut it open with a silver knife, and smelled it.
When she smelled the familiar smell of urine, her face changed drastically. She quickly held the split pill in front of her eyes and examined it carefully. Then she looked at the pipe and asked, "Your Highness, do you know how to use this pill?"
The princess had already asked Lai Fu, and upon hearing this, she immediately replied, "They say that if you light it directly and inhale the smoke through your mouth and nose, it will relieve the pain."
She keenly sensed that Feng Xinyi's attitude was off, and quickly asked, "Does the Medicine God Doctor know anything about this pill? Could it be harmful to humans?"
Xie Ying gave her a sympathetic look: [Congratulations, you guessed it right! When you find out what this thing is, you must hold on!]
She glanced at Situ Yuan again and thought that this boy was really a filial son who was betraying his own mother.
Situ Yuan: “…”
Who told him the news?
