The old man said hurriedly: "Princess, Your Majesty, I have been practicing medicine all my life and have never heard of craniotomy. After a person's head is opened, how can he survive? This boy is clearly trying to deceive you. , but if life-saving is delayed, it will be a big problem."
Xia Yuanqiu glanced at the old man coldly and said tepidly: "Princess, Prince, this person has ulterior motives. I suspect that he has other purposes for revealing this imperial list. It is not to cure diseases and save people at all. Perhaps, his purpose It’s the Seven-Star Fruit.”
The middle-aged man standing on Xia Yuanqiu's side also said: "I very much agree with what this brother said. This old man's prescription is clearly not to save people, but to harm them. If the princess and the prince don't believe it, you can ask An alchemist who is proficient in pharmacology will know if he comes and asks."
When the old man heard this, his face turned three points white, and he quickly defended, "You are talking nonsense. If it is prepared in your hands, it is naturally poison. If it is prepared in my hands, it must be life-saving medicine. You don't have it yourself." Please don't talk nonsense and mislead people about this." The old man turned to Princess Mochou and said: "Princess, if you don't believe me, you can ask me to prepare the medicine first. After the medicine is prepared, you can ask someone to test the medicine. This way it’s foolproof!”
Princess Mochou was suspicious of the old man, and it was impossible for him to dispel her suspicions with just a few words. She raised her voice and said, "As this gentleman said, the easiest way to identify whether you are lying is to ask an elixir." The pharmacist is here. If you have any questions about your elixir recipe, the pharmacist will definitely be able to give you the answer."
The old man's legs went weak and his face turned pale, but he still managed to stay calm and nodded with a dry smile: "This is the best. It can not only prove the young man's innocence, but also reassure the princess and the prince!"
Not long after Princess Mochou's people left, the old man suddenly said that he had a stomachache and wanted to go to the latrine. Princess Mochou's lips curled up slightly with a sneer, and she waved her hand: "Go, but come back soon, the palace's The alchemist has a bad temper, if you make him angry, he will be careful to fill the furnace with you to make elixirs."
The old man responded repeatedly and hurriedly retreated out of the Princess Palace. As soon as he left the Princess Palace, he immediately ran on the road with oil on his feet. Fortunately, he kept walking and looking when he came, and he remembered the road clearly.
It's a pity that he had just left the Princess Palace half a mile when he was blocked by two fierce guards: "Aren't you going to go to the latrine? Why are you here?"
"I, I can't find the latrine. Where is the latrine? Can you two take me there?" The old man's pair of triangles began to wander again, and dozens of strategies flashed through his mind, but unfortunately none of them worked, because He couldn't defeat the two guards in front of him, not to mention that there were hundreds or even thousands of guards like them in this palace.
The guard said: "The princess said that you don't need to go to the princess palace anymore, and I will invite you directly to the alchemy room."
The old man turned pale and asked hurriedly: "What are you doing in the alchemy room?"
The guard looked at him like an idiot and said softly: "The princess said that if you really go to the latrine, I will spare your life. At most, I will pull out your tongue or cut off an arm. But if you run away when you go out, there is no need." Go back to her and send you directly to the alchemy room. The alchemist in the alchemy room is refining corpse oil recently and is short of living corpses. Although you look thin, it is better than nothing."
The old man was completely paralyzed. He fell to the ground and could not get up again. He should not have come here. He should not be greedy. Although the Seven-Star Fruit is valuable, it is not as valuable as his life! !
