Chapter 1902: Chapter 1902: Diagnosis (Part 4)
This is the first time Yang Ruxin has seen Feng Rong. Undoubtedly, the whole demeanor of the concubine is quite remarkable, much more glamorous than the Crown Princess Consort, but she has a hint of frivolity, lacking the solemnity of the Crown Princess Consort.
This kind of woman is destined to be a concubine.
At first glance, Yang Ruxin didn’t like this concubine.
Emperor Xuanjing had no mood to watch them salute, just waved them off and then looked at Yang Ruxin.
Yang Ruxin went over and sat down on the brocade stool where Concubine Feng had previously been seated, then began to take the pulse. Although her pulse-taking skills were not very good yet, she could still diagnose basic illnesses. Of course, taking the pulse was just a pretense; she used her special abilities.
She had heard before that the Crown Prince’s health was not good, perhaps poisoned by someone. But now she realized it wasn’t just poison; he was infested with poisonous insects.
These insects can secrete venom, but as long as the insect isn’t dead, it can never be completely cured.
The previous treatments merely neutralized the venom secreted by the insects, so the Crown Prince felt better, seemingly recovered. But after some time, whenever there’s a trigger, the insects will start secreting venom again, and he’ll fall sick all over again.
If someone wants to ruin the Crown Prince in the future, they merely need to keep exposing him to the triggers.
As for what the trigger is, she couldn’t identify immediately; it requires experimentation to find out.
"How is it?" Emperor Xuanjing couldn’t hold back any longer. Actually, Hen Bingwen was anxious too. He really wanted to know what illness the Crown Prince was suffering from or what poison he had ingested. After all these years, every time he thought it was resolved, it would relapse.
Yang Ruxin hesitated a bit, unsure if she should speak the truth.
But this hesitation led everyone to misunderstand, thinking the Crown Prince’s condition was hopeless.
Emperor Xuanjing staggered a little; had not the eunuch by his side supported him, he might have fallen. Meanwhile, the always composed Crown Princess Consort closed her eyes but reached out to steady herself on the nearby table.
Only Concubine Feng had a flash of light in her eyes, although it was subtle, Yang Ruxin, who was secretly observing her the whole time, noticed it.
It seems the trigger is related to this Concubine Feng.
Now is not the time to investigate Feng Rong. Yang Ruxin first used silver needles to smooth the Crown Prince’s meridians and then took out a medicine pill, pressing it into his mouth.
Soon, it was noticeable that the poison within the Crown Prince was decreasing.
The Crown Prince’s complexion slowly improved, but he still needed some time before fully regaining consciousness.
"Emperor, may I have a word with you alone?" Yang Ruxin exhaled.
Emperor Xuanjing seemed to have suddenly aged several years, but he still waved his hand.
The eunuch signaled everyone to leave.
"Let Medical Officer Hen stay." Yang Ruxin glanced at Hen Bingwen. This old man was indeed upright, a quality that could be seen from Hen Ziyue’s behavior. Upright people are whom she wishes to befriend.
Hen Bingwen hurriedly stopped.
Concubine Feng turned her head to glance at Yang Ruxin but happened to meet her mocking gaze, which frightened her into a hurry, turning to run out, almost knocking herself against the doorframe.
Yang Ruxin curled her lips. With such quality, she dares to be a spy? But looking at the Crown Prince, it seems she succeeded, making Yang Ruxin speechless in her ridicule.
"Madam Gu, should I still call you Xinxin? You should speak candidly, Chenchen he..."
