Afterwards, Xiao Huayong went to Princess Ruyang's residence again. Shen Xihe didn't know how he convinced them, but the princess and Xiao Fuxing both nodded. The princess even came to the East Palace in person to meet her and personally entrusted Shen Xihe to help her reconcile with Bu Shulin, as if she was unaware that Bu Shulin was a girl and had really come to propose marriage.
Shen Xihe just had an excuse to meet Bu Shulin, but before she could arrange a date, Xie Yunhuai returned and asked to see Shen Xihe and Xiao Huayong.
The once modest gentleman now looked a little unkempt, with a jade-like complexion, even darker than the rough old men swept by the northwest sandstorm, but his eyes were bright and clear, and his slightly thin tall body was hidden in the green clothes, as tough as a green bamboo, and he had a humble and open-minded character in his bones.
"Crown Prince, Crown Princess, I brought a man back from outside the Great Wall and asked him to diagnose the Crown Prince." Xie Yunhuai spoke in a bright voice.
Shen Xihe was delighted. Xie Yunhuai's reaction meant that there was some clue to the poison in Xiao Huayong's body. She couldn't help but smile: "Please invite him in quickly."
The benefits of Shen Xihe's seizure of power in the harem were reflected at this moment. She had the right to let anyone into the palace. Otherwise, she would have to ask His Majesty and ask the person in charge of the palace to bring the token.
A tall and burly man was brought in by Xie Yunhuai. The man had a very three-dimensional face and very dark skin. Shen Xihe had been to southern Sichuan and had seen many people with dark skin, but this was the first time he had seen such a dark-skinned man. He spoke words that Shen Xihe could not understand, but Xie Yunhuai could actually speak to him fluently in a strange language.
The doctor did not take Xiao Huayong's pulse, but asked for a bowl of water with some coarse salt, and then asked Xiao Huayong to put some blood in the bowl.
"I borrowed Mr. Qi's boat and set sail. I accidentally encountered a storm and drifted into a mysterious place. I met a local tribesman, Ale, who is the doctor of their tribe. I talked to him about the strange poison in His Highness' body. He gave me a kind of insect. I baked the eggs of this insect to make poison, which is the poison in His Highness' body." Xie Yunhuai explained the whole story in a few words. "Now, Ale wants to confirm whether the poison in His Highness' body is like this and how serious the poison is."
Xiao Huayong stood up, wiped his palms with a warm white handkerchief, took the dagger that had been soaked in strong liquor and roasted from Tian Yuan, and without changing his expression, he slashed his palm with his clenched fist towards the bowl and dripped blood into it.
His blood seemed to be no different from that of a normal person, but a closer look would reveal that Xiao Huayong's blood was thicker and it dispersed very slowly when it fell into a bowl of water.
A'er couldn't help shaking his head as he watched, and took out a leather brocade bag from his awkwardly worn lapel robe. He poured a drop of unknown water into the bowl, and raised his hand to signal to Xiao Huayong that there was enough blood.
Xiao Huayong spread out his hands, and Xie Yunhuai quickly cleaned the wound for Xiao Huayong, sprinkled hemostatic powder on it, and quickly bandaged it.
At this time, A'er stared at the bowl closely. The blood in the bowl gradually changed color, with golden light shining among the black and red, as if someone had sprinkled a handful of gold powder on the top, floating in the blood.
"How could this be?" Shen Xihe looked solemn.
