"Your Majesty forgot that I am a doctor, so I naturally know more than ordinary people."
"Yes, then you can check on the prince and see what disease he has."
Lou Qianxue nodded, took a few steps forward, and looked at the prince carefully.
The more he looked, the tighter his brows furrowed.
Meanwhile, Tan Taiyuan, who had been deliberately ignored, had an expressionless face that became increasingly cold...
finally!
"Don't look."
He couldn't stand it anymore and glared at Lou Qianxue: "Don't look at him."
"..." Lou Qianxue came back to her senses and touched his face perfunctorily: "I'm doing serious work, stop making trouble."
Tan Taiyuan's body froze instantly, and a thin streak of red slowly climbed up his earlobe...
"Cough." The Eagle King coughed lightly.
Lou Qianxue's cheeks flushed slightly, and she straightened her expression: "Your Majesty."
She gestured around.
The Eagle King understood instantly, raised his hand and tapped twice, and the palace servants in the field retreated like the tide in a well-trained manner.
When there were only four of them left in the room, the Eagle King and the Crown Prince looked towards Lou Qianxue: "Miss Jifeng, go ahead."
"Your Highness, this is not a disease, this is poison."
Lou Qianxue will not stop until she says something shocking.
"Impossible!" The Eagle King immediately denied: "My Master She, the fourth-level alchemist of Amaterasu, has been treating the prince and has never mentioned anything poisonous. Moreover, everything the prince eats and uses has only passed through the hands of my trusted confidants, so how could he be poisoned?"
Lou Qianxue was not afraid at all and argued: "Master She said that the prince is not poisonous. Then Master She, can you cure the prince's illness?"
The Eagle King frowned, thought deeply, and shook his head: "No."
"That's it. That means he still hasn't found any symptoms. This poison is quite special and difficult for ordinary people to detect. I only saw it because... I happened to read an ancient book."
The Eagle King quickly calmed down, his face gloomy: "Tell me, how is this poison so special?"
"Especially, it is a toxin that can only be formed by the interaction of two things. To form this toxin, both of them are indispensable."
"what?"
Lou Qianxue sniffed hard: "One is the calming fragrance in this room."
The Eagle King frowned: "That one was specially made by Master She for the prince! What about the other one?"
Lou Qianxue turned around and started looking around the house, when suddenly...
She paused at one point and picked up the cushion on the ground: "What is this?"
"This is a top-grade spirit-gathering jade. Not only can one gather energy faster when sitting on it, but Master She also said that it is of great benefit to the prince's health. He found it outside two years ago."
"That's it." Lou Qianxue said, "There's nothing wrong with it, but someone has tampered with it, and it emits a special smell..."
As she spoke, Lou Qianxue's voice suddenly stopped.
She suddenly remembered an incident that happened two years ago.
Two years ago, in Fengyang County, in the County Magistrate's Mansion, one night, she accidentally ran into Lou Family Master Lou Jinglei and Lou Fourth Master Lou Jingtao, who seemed to be plotting to murder someone...
Could it be...
Lou Qianxue cast a complicated gaze upon the prince.
"So... it was actually man-made..." The pale, handsome prince sighed and shook his head: "Miss Jifeng, how is my poison? Is it easy to cure?"
Lou Qianxue nodded: "Yes! I dare not say anything else, but detoxification... is easy for me now."
She pondered for a moment and said, "If you can bear the pain, I can help you remove the remaining poison in an hour at most. However, in the future, you can only choose one between the tranquilizing spice and the spirit-gathering jade."
