"Your Majesty, could you please let the common people take the pulse of Her Royal Highness the Princess first?"
The emperor nodded.
After checking his pulse, he touched the beard on his chin with a slightly proud look in his eyes, "I can cure the illness of the eldest princess."
After Jun Qi finished speaking, he took out a jade bottle, then poured a little pungent black liquid from the jade bottle and applied it to the eldest princess's philtrum and temples.
"What is this and why does it smell so pungent?"
Everyone present smelled this smell for the first time, and they all frowned and covered their noses.
Jun Qi smiled mysteriously and explained to everyone, "Although this medicine has a pungent taste, it is extremely irritating and can quickly wake up a comatose person."
Then, he poured out an oval-shaped medicine from the porcelain bottle he carried with him.
"What kind of medicine is this? Why have I never seen it before?"
"This is called a capsule. I researched it myself. It has an immediate effect after taking it. It can wake up the eldest princess immediately."
They were all novel terms, and the emperor had never heard of them before, but he couldn't help but become interested after hearing how miraculous the effects of the medicine were.
If it is as miraculous as he said, it can be mass-produced and save many people.
No one noticed that Jiang Yuesheng's brows were knitted tightly together, and his expression gradually became serious.
According to the last incident with the pair, another time traveler finally appeared again.
As for the capsule that the old man took out, it was just to forcefully consume the patient's life force to make the patient regain his health. Just like the eldest princess, after taking this medicine, the energy will be exhausted within three or four days at most.
However, Jiang Yuesheng was not going to remind her. If she spoke now, she would not only reveal her identity as a time travel girl, but also make her father feel strange. Moreover, the eldest princess was of no use to her and was not worth the risk of saving her. She could just die.
She now felt that the sense of crisis was even greater. Since the other party could take out the medicine, there was a high possibility that he could carry it with him. Her scrutinizing eyes fell on Jun Qi.
Could it be this old man?
Juan Juan tilted his head, and a flash of agate-colored red light flashed in his black crystal eyes.
[No, this medicine has no effect on Auntie Beauty’s disease? 】
[The medicine in Auntie Beauty is obviously a chronic poison, and this medicine does not contain any detoxifying ingredients. 】
The emperor's heart tightened. Seeing that the medicine was about to be fed into the mouth of the eldest princess, he immediately said without thinking, "Wait a minute and let the imperial doctor test it first."
"This... Your Majesty, this medicine was invented by the common people themselves. The imperial doctor cannot test it. As long as the eldest princess takes it, she will see the effect."
When he said this, the emperor felt even more uneasy, "Come here, test the medicine!"
Immediately, an eunuch went to the imperial hospital to get tools, and several imperial doctors went to the side to test the medicine.
"Your Majesty, the eldest princess's illness cannot be delayed."
The emperor turned a deaf ear and waited quietly for the imperial physician to test the medicine. Half an hour later, the imperial envoy put down his tools and came over.
"Your Majesty, I apologize for my lack of knowledge. The powder of this medicine does not contain any detoxifying ingredients and I cannot analyze it. However, after I fed a little of the powder to mice, the mice were much more lively and jumping around than before. Jumping up and down, but other than that there's nothing much going on."
Jun Qi looked nervous, his face turned blue and white, and all the indifference disappeared.
"Your Majesty, I made this medicine using a new formula. It is normal that the imperial doctor cannot analyze it. You believe me, this medicine will definitely restore the eldest princess to her original state."
The emperor sat back on the chair, his deep eyes showed no emotion, and the aura of majesty emanating from his body made people dare not look directly at him.
"Cough, cough..." The eldest princess woke up slowly, but as soon as she opened her eyes, she was stung by the irritating smell.
"What does this smell like..." Her voice was hoarse, and her whole body felt sore and uncomfortable.
"By the way, Your Majesty, Lan Feng..."
The emperor snorted coldly and asked angrily, "He is raising a mistress without your knowledge and has a nine-year-old son. Do you still want to plead for him?"
The eldest princess's face, which had no trace of blood at all, was even more painful. Her face looked sluggish, her eyes were empty and lifeless, and her breath was dying.
"Oh no, Your Majesty, that mouse is dead!"
The imperial doctor held a box, and in the box was the corpse of the mouse, which was motionless at this time.
"Bold! What kind of medicine is this!"
The emperor's face completely darkened and his expression was stern.
Jun Qi knelt down with a plop and put his forehead on the ground, "Your Majesty, this is really the medicine that can save the eldest princess. The mouse died because it couldn't bear the power of the medicine. The common people will never dare to try to poison the princess!"
This was the first time that Jun Qi faced the pressure of the royal family and clearly felt that his life was threatened.
He used to be an elder of the Valley of Divine Doctors, and no matter where he went, people would give him a thumbs up. Now that he has been expelled from the Valley of Divine Doctors, he is just a commoner. If he is accused of murdering the princess, he will be killed if the emperor says so.
"I give you one last chance to tell you honestly where you got this medicine and what your purpose is in treating those children in the capital these days!"
The emperor's expression was stern, his thin lips pursed into a straight line, and his eyes were scrutinizing and extremely penetrating, as if all dark thoughts had nowhere to hide in his eyes.
"Cao, Cao Min is a traveling doctor. When he passed by Jiang State, he heard that many children here had strange diseases, so he had the courage to treat those children. What Cao Min said is true!"
Can a disease that even the imperial doctors at the Imperial Hospital be unable to cure be cured by a doctor like you?
The emperor obviously didn't believe it. He ordered coldly, "I now suspect that you have contact with the man in black who kidnapped the child. Come and take him to trial!"
Jun Qi's mind went blank for a moment, his ears buzzed, and he collapsed to the ground in fear.
"Your Majesty, there are no civilians! Your Majesty..."
No matter how hard he struggled, he was still dragged down.
The Ninth Princess looked at this farcical scene and closed her eyes.
This old man couldn't have traveled through time. He might just be a gun-blocker, and there was someone else who was the real time traveler.
The eldest princess was left in the palace to be treated by the imperial doctor. She seemed to have lost her heart and did not resist. She stared blankly at the top of the bed, as if she had aged more than twenty years.
Juanjuan could see the look of death on her face. In addition to being extremely ill physically, she also had the idea of committing suicide mentally.
[Oh no, my beautiful aunt may not be able to make it through tonight. She has to use her spiritual energy to protect her heart! 】
[But I’m being held now and can’t move at all! 】
The emperor took a deep look at Juan Juan and thought that he could hear her voice when she was only half a year old. This child was not an ordinary person from the beginning.
He asked the palace maid to hold the ninth princess, while he lowered his head and whispered in Juan Juan's ear, "Jian Juan, the eldest princess is sick. She likes children very much. Do you want to go see her?"
"Yes, yes!" Juan Juan nodded his head desperately.
"Okay, I'll carry you over."
The emperor placed Juan Juan next to the eldest princess. Juan Juan climbed from the end of the bed to the head of the bed and grabbed the eldest princess's thin fingers with his little hand.
A very weak orange-red light shone brightly, so weak that it was almost undetectable.
[Well, with Juan Juan’s spiritual energy protecting his heart, nothing will happen! 】
